The Lost Key

"The Lost Key" is a season 2 episode of the Summerlands, in which the Summerlands are puzzled by what object could a key they found unlock?

Plot
Double D has been experimenting again, this time its soda that always stays fizzy. Zack wants a taste but its still at the planning stage though naturally that doesn't stop Patrick from diving in! Later in the yard Edd finds a key and his romantic nature immediately goes into poetical overdrive whereas Patrick thinks it holds a more sinister secret and Zack just sees it as a means to an end … hopefully of course in cash. But try as they might the Summerlands can't find anything that the key will fit into - though its not for want of trying. It doesn't fit in any door or box they can find and it won't open Jimmy's retainer although perversely it is an exact fit for the gap between Double D's teeth! Zack concludes that the real key to the key is in exploiting the person who has lost it and so he sends everyone an anonymous "we have what you lost if you want it back be in the lane at 3 o'clock and bring a bag of jawbreakers" flavor letter. This brings surprising results as it seems every kid in the cul-de-sac thinks one of the others has stolen something of theirs and they're too busy trying to get it back to bother with the Summerlands and their stupid key - caught off guard the Eds are left wide open to attack from the Kankers who take them to Patrick's basement to force them to play footsies

Quotes

 * Patrick: "Like a sponge, thirsty I am!"

Zack: [ignoring Patrick's fantasies] "I bet that key could open King Tut's tomb, or Al Capone's wallet, or some exploited cartoon character's theme park!"
 * Patrick: [looking at the key] "I bet that key unlocks big gates of molten lava and releases the demons from a box of oat bran on the shop of a mutant train stop!"


 * Jimmy: "I hope this sand doesn't get in my loafers"


 * Rolf: [seeing the Summerlands hanging around the fire hydrant with obvious intent] "Careful as the dogs have had their way with that water pump!"


 * Patrick: "I wish I had a turtle shell."


 * Rolf: [pausing for a moment in his duffing up of Kevin] "Confess to your crimes, stale end piece of white bread!"


 * Jonny: "You gotta blink some time, you rascal you..." [Patrick passes by and spills soda over them] "Gesundheit!"


 * Both Double D and Zack: "Footsies! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
