So 'twas the night before Christmas and all through the house.
Some creatures was stirring.
Including a mouse! [points at Pinky and the Brain]
Tonight, my dear Pinky, our plan is unfurled, we'll steal Santa's sleigh and take over the world!
Brain, you're a genius, you simply astound me! [accidentally hits Brain with a sack he's carrying knocking him off the tower] Narf! Brain's going to pound me.
The stockings were hung so our names clearly showed...
In hopes that old Santa would leave a wide load.
Mwah! Goodnight, everybody!
[after Ralph who's dressed as Santa Claus crashes through their ceiling] He was dressed all in furs with a glaze in his eyes, 'cuz the fall knocked him silly
[dazed] Duh, happy Easter you guys!
His face how it twinkled, his dimples how merry.
His cheeks were like roses.
[pointing at Ralph's stomach sticking out his shirt] His gut that was scary!
[to the chorus girls] Hello nurses, say why don't you stop by the water tower and I'll show you my stamp collection.
[giggling] But Yakko, you don't have a stamp collection.
[puts his finger under her chin] Alright then, you can open my mail.
[in a Sterling Holloway-esque voice] And, so, with the giant gone, the poor village became a wealthy suburb. [the same man with jewelry rides past The Used Cow Lot, waving mutually. The Harp and the Warners are on stage with The Mayor] And the heroic Warners were richly rewarded for saving the village.
As Mayor of The Village of The Happy and Rich, I am proud to present the three Warners with... [reaches in pocket as the Warners look in anticipation] Five beans, and Merv Griffin's autograph.
[The villagers applaud offscreen as Yakko is given items]
[annoyed] Doesn't anyone ever get cash in fairytales?
[singing]
I'm cute, yes, it's true.
I really can't help it, but what can I do?
When you're cute, it just shows
With these two darling eyes and this cute little nose.
And a pretty pink dress that's adorable, yes,
And when they see my dimples then everyone says.
Aw, shoot! Isn't she cute?!
Cute, cute, oh, isn't she cute? Cute, cute!
I'm the one they adore.
I'm sweet and I'm cuddly and small just like Dudley but more! It's a chore!
To be constantly cute and enchanting to boot.
With my lips sticking out in a cute little pout,
Then there just is no doubt why the guys like to shout.
She's a beaut!
Let's face it, I'm cute!
Cute, cute, oh, baby, she's cute! Cute, cute!
Being cute's a thing you can't hide.
If you look up the word in a book, there's my picture inside.
TV Guide has me on the cover.
[becoming bored] Don't you just love her?
I'm simply a goddess.
And isn't she modest?
I'm the answer to one of the questions in Trivial Pursuit for "Who's the most cute".
Cute, cute, oh, isn't she cute? Cute, cute.
I'm cute and I'm sweet and I'm innocent, neat, and so trusting.
If you want our opinion, this song is becoming disgusting.
Dot: I'm cute.
So what?
I never am vain.
She's becoming a pain in the-
But I'm also real nice. I'm a doll through and through.
So big whoop-de-doo.
I'm sweet and adoring.
And also real boring and that's why we're snoring at you. [make gookie faces, but notices the swing is empty]
[spoken; becomes increasingly mad] That's it! You've ruined my entire cute song! I am angry! I am furious! I AM ENRAGED! I HAVE HAD IT!!! [hyperventilating]
[realizes this] You're awfully cute when you're angry.
[calms down] You really think so?
A babba dabba babba doo wow!
She's cute!
[At the Water Tower]
[reading a book on her bed] I love reading cheap horror romance thriller novels. [begins to read]
[But the noise interrupts her reading. The noise came from Yakko and Wakko, who are playing Union Soldiers vs. Indians]
[dressed up as Indians] Fire! [shoots both arrows, and back to the Union soldiers, playing dead. They continue to laugh and play]
[annoyed] Quiet! [the brothers stopped while wearing hockey uniforms] Thanks. [goes back to reading, but is still interrupted by her brothers playing pirates and Muskateers; singing] All I want is quiet, no reason to deny it, I can't take that riot, quiet! QUIET! QUIET!!! Let me clarify it, the noise, I can't defy it, I simply will not buy it. Give me quiet! QUIET! QUIET!!! [opens the top latch of the water tower, and climbs out] Not to nullify it, I just won't stand by it. It's time now to bye-bye it. I want quiet! QUIET! QUIET! [Beethoven's Sixth Symphony plays, she goes to the file to relax, but is disturbed by a cow chewing the grass, the caterpillar eating a leaf, and a cricket chirping; turning red] I said quiet! QUIET! QUIET!!! This search I can't deny it to find some peace and quiet. I'll search both low and high, it must be quiet! QUIET! QUIET!!! [goes to Scotland to read, but gets interrupted by Angus McRory's bagpipes] QUIET! [goes to France, where she enters the Notre Dame Cathedral; sighs] Such peace. Such joy. [tries to read, but the sound of the bells caused her to rip the book in half] QUIEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! [goes to Italy, where she sits on the bench and tries to read the fixed book, but the Leaning Tower of Pisa falls over and crumbles to the ground. She goes to Africa, where the animals are roaming in the fields] I said quiet! Quiet! QUIET! [she sailed to the small island where she finds a place to read, but is interrupted by a volcano, which erupts by shooting her into the sky and splash in the ocean. Tranquil music plays. She, at last, climbs to the top of Mount Everest, looks around] Yoo-hoo! [echoes. There's no sound. At last, she can finally read; followed by silence] Hmm. Gee, it's so quiet. [shrugs, gets back to reading, but looks around some more] Too quiet. Terribly quiet. Awfully quiet. [screams loudly with an echo, but there is still no sound] I thought I wanted quiet, I thought I could apply it, but now that I have tried it. [nods] I'm sick and tired of quiet! [pulls out a radio, turns on a rock version of the theme song, and starts reading, getting used to the sound; iris out]
Yakko, it's time to take the inkblot-test. Now, tell me... [shows an inkblot] ...what does this remind you of?
Girls.
[shows another inkblot] What does this remind you of?
Girls.
[annoyed, shows him one more inkblot] What does this remind you of?
[analyzes the inkblot] Uhhhhhhhhhhhh, girls.
Grrr! You are obsessed with GIRLS!
Hey, you're the one showing me all the sexy pictures.
I'm...trying...to fill...their lives...with joy.
[imitating Slackmer] Then you...should stop singing...right now.
[holding a paper plate, with a face drawn on it in front of his own face] Guess who. [laughs]
Is it Abraham Lincoln?
[laughs] No.
Hmm...could it be Nancy Kerrigan?
[laughs] No.
Is it a big, fat polyester dinosaur, who's the color of an international house of pancakes, with a paper plate over his face?
No. It's me, Baloney!
You're kidding!
[after Baloney is hit by an anvil] Who's dropping those anvils anyway?
[The camera pans upward to reveal the Prince and Princesses of Props]
Take us with you!
Don't leave us, please!
Free us from the lumpy thing!
Take us with you! [they leap down into The Warner's arms respectively]
Neat-o, complete-o, yippee.
[The Warners kiss the Prince and Princess of Props]
[The cartoon opens with the mountain during the storm]
And now, Dot Warner, Slappy Squirrel and Hello Nurse in the famous witches scene from William Shakespeare's "Macbeth", interpreted by Yakko for those viewers who, like Dot, Slappy and Hello Nurse, have no idea what they're saying.
[they stop stirring their cauldron for a moment with a glare. Then they resume] Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble!
Loosely translated, that means "Aabra cadabara."
Fillet of a fenny snake, in the cauldron boil and bake!
"Let's cook a snake!" Start with my agent.
[Wakko drops a man in a suit into the cauldron]
Eye of newt [Wakko drops hunting dog Newt] and toe of frog, [Wakko drops Michigan J. Frog] Wool of bat [Wakko drops Batman] and tongue of dog.
[Wakko drops Buttons]
Sounds like camp food to me.
For a charm of powerful trouble, like a hellbroth boil and bubble.
[yawns] "Stir until bored." Serves twelve, unless you're Rush Limbaugh; then it's an appetizer.
Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble!
"Bippety boppety boo!" Here's another fun recipe:
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf. Witch's mummy, maw and gulf.
[Wakko drops a green dragon which is carrying Walter Wolf]
Those are the ingredients of a hot dog!
Of the ravened salt-sea shark. [Wakko drops a shark] Root of hemlock...
[Wakko comes dressed as a female cheerleader, with pom-poms]
Goooo, Hemlock!
...dig'd in the dark.
[singing] Dig'd in the dark is a gas. Baby, can ya dig it?
Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble!
"Hocus pocus." When do we eat? [flames shoot from the cauldron, then he jumps out of the interpreter's circle] Hey, what'd we come up with? Hash?
Corndog?
Fondue?
[Everyone looks into the cauldron and gasps]
By the pricking of my thumbs, something scary this way comes!
[More flames from the cauldron. When they subside, Mr. Director is standing on the edges of the cauldron]
[singing] Oh, lady! I know a lady with high-heeled shoes and socks and panty hose! Oh, pretty lady!
[Dot whacks him over the head with a large wooden mallet. He falls into the depths of the cauldron with a scream. Slappy then drops in a stick of lighted dynamite. Dot drops in a large round bomb. Yakko puts a lid on the cauldron. Wakko runs a chain around it. Slappy affixes a lock. Everyone stands aside, backs turned, covering their ears. The cauldron blasts upward and through the roof of the cave]
[last line] Uhhhh, let's send out for pizza.
[Iris out]
These people will clap at anything.
[looks up hopefully] Hey everybody! Wanna hear me play 'Yankee Doodle' on my armpit?
[Dead silence]
Uhhhh, almost anything.
This is the city: Los Angeles, California. On a starlit winter's night, when the moon was shining bright...Back in January of 1994, at 4:30 in the morning, and without a single warning, something strange began to move the floor. A quake! a quake! The house begins to shake! You're bouncing 'cross the floor and watching all your dishes break. You're sleeping, there's a quake, you're instantly awake. You're leaping out of bed and shouting.
Oh, for heaven's sake!
I ran outside with neighbors, their faces filled with shock. That's because I'm standing there In nothing but my socks. Oh, a quake, a quake.
Say, it's all a big mistake!
Just feel the ground go up and down!
Won't someone hit the brake? A quake, a quake, oh, what a mess they make! The bricks, the walls, the chimney falls, destruction in its wake!
I did not have insurance, so I called them from the scene And suddenly I'm listening to an answering machine, saying:
Too late! Too late! You shouldn't ought-a wait! So now you're stuck, we wish you luck! Here comes a 6.8! Whose fault? Whose fault? The San Andreas' fault, cause Mr. Richter can't predict her kicking our asphalt! Seismologists all say tectonic plates are in between an encroaching crustal mantle.
Yeah, so what the heck's that mean?
It means a quake! A quake!
Oh, really, yeah, no fake? We kinda had that feeling When the ground began to shake!
California's great! It's such a lovely state! 'Cause every lawn is sitting on a continental plate! Los Angeles had fires and a riot and a flood and then a drought and a recession and then now we hear this thud of a quake, a quake!
How much more can we take?!
We thought that we had seen it all...
But this one takes the cake! The dirt,
The rocks,
And all those aftershocks!
It's just the planet moving granite several city blocks! [to the tune of London Bridge] LA town is falling down while the ground moves around! We won't let it get us down, we're Californians!
A quake.
A quake.
It's time to pull up stake.
We're all fed up, we can't deny it!
Fires, quakes, and floods, and riot!
We want someplace with peace and quiet. So we're moving to Beirut!
In Hollywood, they have a different language that they speak.
It's spoken by those folks who went to school for just one week.
It's found inside Variety, a magazine they use.
And no one understands it when they read the movie news.
Like "Hix makes pix but the flick needs fix"...
Means someone made a movie that bombed.
"The VEEPS in charge are now at large"...
Means everyone involved is gone.
"The plot conflix, no beautiful chix"...
So it's comin' out on video soon.
"They're takin' their licks 'cause the critics say nix"...
And the editors are gonna try to fix it in the mix.
Well, "the stock sees green" on page 13...
Means Disney's up a nickel a share.
"Stallone cuts deal for a major reel"...
Means Rocky Number VI, so beware!
If you want the poop.
Or ya need the scoop.
On Hollywood Town this week, you're gonna have to learn to talk that Variety speak!
Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah, bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah!
"A boffo-smash makes Warner cash"...
Means there's gonna be a sequel next year.
But "Paramount hurts and they're losing their shirts"...
Means Schwarzenegger's doing King Lear.
"Oliver Stone does next Home Alone"...
Means he's gettin' paid an arm and a leg. The budget goes "crunch!"...
But his name "packs punch"...
So they called up the accountants and they're gonna "do lunch".
Well, "the ratings smile on the O.J. trial"...
Means a movie of the week to premiere.
"Universal cuts deal with Mr. Spiel"...
To do a hundred thousand movies a year!
You gotta play it smart If y'wanna be part Of the crowd that's hip and chic! You're gonna have to learn to talk that Variety speak!
Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah, Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah!
Normal talk makes producers walk. You might as well speak Greek. You're gonna have to learn.
Or the meeting will adjourn...
Unless, my friend, you learn that Variety speak!
Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah, Bop-a-doo-bop, a-bop-a-doo-bah!
Bop, doo, bop, doo, bop, doo, bah, dah!
