"Outta Gas" is a short in Disney's Road Trip series, and the third short in the series to be focused on Kiff.
Synopsis
While on a field trip, Principal Secretary is shocked when the school bus runs out of gas.
Plot
On the way to Historical Chairsburg, the school bus runs out of gas in the middle of the desert, as Helen used the gas meant for the bus to instead power her gas-powered hair dryer. Principal Secretary is forced to walk to the nearest gas station, which Candle informs him is five miles away, for more gas. As he is about to leave, Helen stops him – not to help, but to ask him to power her hair dryer as well. The scene cuts to a card reading "23 Miles Left".
Transcript
- Principal Secretary: What's this now?
- Barry: Sounds like Martin's lawnmower when it runs out of gas.
- Principal Secretary: Out of gas? Helen, didn't I give you enough money to fill up the gas tank before we left?
- Helen: What did you say?
- Principal Secretary: Is that a gas-powered hair dryer?
- Helen: Sorry, couldn't hear you over my new gas-powered hair dryer.
- Kiff: Did you put some of the gas meant for the bus in that?
- Helen: You think this mane can be tamed by an electric dryer?
- Barry: But we needed that gas for the bus!
- Helen: And I need to look presentable. I heard Historical Chairsburg is looking for their next reenactor.
- Principal Secretary: Well, I suppose I'll have to walk to the nearest gas station then. Does anybody know where that is?
- Candle: My phone says five miles away.
- Principal Secretary: [sighs] At least I'll get my steps in.
- Helen: Principal Secretary, wait.
- Principal Secretary: Yes?
- Helen: Could you top this off, too? But don't let the cops see, it's banned in most states.
- Principal Secretary: What?
- Kiff and Barry: Cool!
