SUMMARY: Bitter rivals Pfister and Jenkins are both
up for a big promotion, but they just can't stop fighting with
one another. Their uncooperative antics in the boardroom
end up getting them fired; they can't even share a box of donuts
without it turning into a knock-down, drag-out scuffle.
But before they can get into a fight over whose fault it was
that they got fired, an alien spaceship lands, and their leader
informs them that they must cooperate... or the human race will
be annihilated!
Mr. Jenkins
and Ms. Pfister have a spat in the board room of a major
corporation.

SUMMARY: Pfister and Jenkins are horrified to
discover that the aliens want them to reproduce. They
awkwardly attempt to court. However, their fight over a
box of donuts is misinterpreted by the aliens as a mating
ritual, and they are told they have done well... but are now
expected to give birth. And with a pair of zaps, both
Pfister AND Jenkins find themselves pregnant!
Mr. Jenkins
and Ms. Pfister receive further instructions on how the aliens plan
to test them.

SUMMARY: Pfister and Jenkins try to deal with their
newfound pregnant state, but, as usual, end up fighting.
As they pummel each other's bellies, the unexpectedly pleased
alien leader informs them that they have properly softened each
others' wombs up for birth, and they are now ready. And
with that, their water breaks...

SUMMARY: Pfister and Jenkins are charged with
caring for their newborns. They do a terrible job of it,
but when they find that their fighting is the only thing that
quiets the infants' crying, they willingly strangle each other
to death, thus satisfying the alien that they are willing to do
anything for their children. Pfister and Jenkins awake in
heaven, where God tells them fighting isn't allowed... and
failure to comply will mean annihilation of their souls.
The office
workers that have been forced into cooperative activities
by the alien care for their offspring in the bleakest way possible.

SUMMARY: The deceased Pfister and Jenkins try and
fail to stop fighting in heaven, despite entreaties from Jesus
himself. They end up accidentally killing Jesus, and are
cast down into Hell, where the Devil gloats that he's been
waiting for them.
