The video opens with simple graphic of a sun and fluffy clouds. Balloon letters appear that read HAVE A SUMMAH. The shot cuts to Howard Kremer, dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, sitting in a deck chair, surrounded by summer gear.

Howard Kremer: Summer. The world's greatest season. It's finally here. The sand in your toes. The rays of the sun.

The shot cuts to a split screen. On one side Howard Kremer is seen in the deck chair on the other he is seen on a beach.

Howard Kremer: The seagulls. The ice cream truck.

Howard Kremer can still be seen in the deck chair on one side of the split screen. On the other he is shown walking along the beach and then eating ice cream.

Howard Kremer: The crab legs. The lobster claw. Crack them open. Dip them in the butter sauce and have a summer.

Howard Kremer can still be seen in the deck chair on one side and is seen eating crab legs and lobster on the other. The shot cuts to Howard Kremer answering a phone labeled HAVE A SUMMAH HEADQUARTERS.

Howard Kremer: Have a summer hotline.

The shot cuts to a split screen with Howard Kremer on one side and Neil Campbell on the other.

Neil Campbell: I'm afraid I'm not gonna have a summer.

The shot zooms in on Howard Kremer and the sound a pounding heart can be heard. The shot cuts back to split screen.

Howard Kremer: What's that? You're not gonna have a summer? Why?

Neil Campbell: I'm afraid I'll get sunburned.

Howard Kremer: Sunburned? Don't let that stop you. Get some sunscreen...

The shot becomes a threeway split screen, with a pair of hands in the center pouring sunscreen into a hand.

Howard Kremer: ...slather it on and have a summer.

The shot goes back to a split screen between Neil Campbell and Howard Kremer.

Neil Campbell: Okay, thanks.

Howard Kremer hangs up and the phone begins to ring immediately and the split screen vanishes into a shot of Howard Kremer answering the phone.

Howard Kremer: What's that? You're not gonna have a summer? Why?

The shot cuts to Paul Danke sitting in a truck.

Paul Danke: I'm afraid of sharks!

The shot cuts to split screen between Paul Danke and Howard Kremer.

Howard Kremer: Sharks? Don't let the sharks stop you. Watch the movie Jaws. A lot of people think the hero of that movie was Roy Scheider because he killed the shark.

The shot cuts to a three way split and a clip of Roy Scheider from Jaws plays.

Howard Kremer: That's wrong. The hero was the Mayor of Amity...

The Roy Scheider clip switches to one of the mayor from Jaws.

Howard Kremer: ...because he said F that shark. I'm not closing these beaches. We're having a summer!

The three way split screen goes back to a two way split screen between Howard Kremer and Paul Danke.

Paul Danke: Okay!

Howard Kremer hands up the phone and Paul Danke's side of the split screen vanishes. The phone rings and Howard Kremer answers it.

Howard Kremer: What's that? You're not gonna have a summer? Why?

The shot cuts to Zooey Deschanel on the phone. She looks slightly confused.

Zooey Deschanel: Well, I don't know. I've just always been more of a winter person.

The shot transforms to a split screen between Zooey Deschanel and Howard Kremer.

Howard Kremer (to himself): Winter? (to Zooey Deschanel) This sounds serious. Hang tight, I'll be right over.

Zooey Deschanel: No, you don't have to...

Howard Kremer hangs up and the split screen vanishes. Zooey Deschanel hears a knock at the door. She answers the door to find Howard Kremer.

Howard Kremer: Summer's a magical time. Don't let it pass you by. You got to reach out and grab those summer moments. You got to douse yourself in it. You got to get lousy with summer.

Zooey Deschanel: You do?

Howard Kremer: Sure you do.

Zooey Deschanel: But, I don't know how.

Howard Kremer: Don't worry. I'll show you. Come on.

Howard Kremer walks into Zooey Deschanel's place and they sit on the couch.

Howard Kremer: The first thing you go to do is pick out a summer gum.

Zooey Deschanel: A what?

Howard Kremer: A summer gum. You go down to the store. You pick out a gum. You chew it all summer. That's your summer gum. As long as that gum is in your mouth, you know it's summer.

Zooey Deschanel: That sounds kind of fun.

Howard Kremer: I brought you some choices.

Howard Kremer dumps a variety of gums onto the table.

Zooey Deschanel: Wow, that's a lot of gum.

Howard Kremer: Which one calls to you?

Zooey Deschanel picks up a pack of gum.

Zooey Deschanel: This one looks fun.

Howard Kremer: Congratulations. That's your summer gum.

Zooey Deschanel and Howard Kremer high five. Simple graphics of clouds and the sun surround Howard Kremer and Zooey Deschanel and the SUMMAH GUM appears in bubble letter text.

The shot cuts to a dollar bill on a string being pulled by Howard Kremer. Deanna Raphael tries to catch the dollar bill. Zooey Deschanel jumps out from around a corner and sprays Deanna Raphael in the face with a hose while Howard Kremer cheers her on. Zooey Deschanel and Howard Kremer run away while Deanna Raphael laughs. Sun and cloud graphics surround Deanna Raphael and SUMMAH PRANK appears in bubble text.

The shot cuts to Howard Kremer signing for a package. Zooey Deschanel runs into the shot and pushes the delivery man into a pool. Sun and cloud graphics move in and the works ANOTHER SUMMAH PRANK appear in bubble text. The graphics and text move out of the shot. Zooey Deschanel and Howard Kremer high five again and laugh.

Zooey Deschanel: Now I get it. Summer's the undeniable season. You can't skip it, you got to have it. You got to rub summer all over you. You got to roll around in summer.

Howard Kremer: Exactly. Now give me fifteen dollars.

Zooey Deschanel: Why? You charge for this?

Howard Kremer: No. Last summer, I went to your movie 500 Days of Summer. I thought it was going to be the greatest movie of all time. I figured it was going to be about how scientists figured out how to make summer last for a year and a half.

Zooey Deschanel: Well, that would have been great.

Howard Kremer: It would have been glorious, but there was no beach, no waves, no nothing.

Zooey Deschanel: Well, that's not really my fault.

Howard Kremer: Fifteen dollars.

Howard Kremer holds out his hand for the money. Zooey Deschanel pulls some cash out of her shirt and hands it over.

Zooey Deschanel: Boo.

Howard Kremer: Oooo. Summer funds.

SUMMER FUNDS appears in bubble text. Howard Kremer and Zooey Deschanel turn and walk away in separate directions.

The video ends.
