“Moby or Not Moby/Mesozoic Mindy/The Good, the Boo and the Ugly” · Season 1, Episode 28

In this episode: Yakko (3), Warner Siblings (3), Captain Ahab (3), Dot (2), Wakko (2)

[Cartoon opens up with a high-angle shot of the clouds, which move to reveal The Pequod as "Blow the Man Down" plays in the background. Cut to a shot of The Pequod. Cut to the deck. Ishmael is wiping the deck]

[popping out of a barrel] So this is The Love Boat. [he and his siblings pull out lounge chairs and sunbathe; to Ishmael] You must be Doc.

IIshmael

Call me Ishmael.

Call me Ishtar.

Call me irresponsible.

Call me any time, but not collect, okay, big fella?

[The Warners walk off as Ishmael shrugs to the camera]

[to Queequeg] Hi, we're stowaways. Are you gopher?

QQueequeg

No, I Queequeg.

[The Warner Siblings sniff him]

Sorry to hear that. Next time, don't eat so many prunes.

[pointing to a flag with a prohibition symbol over Moby Dick] Hey, look! They've got miniature golf onboard!

[The Warner Siblings hit the golf balls]

Fore!

[The golf balls bounce all over The Pequod until they hit Captain Ahab's door]

[emerges] Who dares disturb my brooding? [grabs Starbuck by his collar] Starbuck, have you sighted Moby Dick?

SStarbuck

Ach! Negative, Captain. We must quit this mad quest.

Ye craven bilge rat. We'll search for Moby Dick until- what?

Captain Stubing, you mind if I steered the boat so we can go water-skiing?

What? Yes. Go away. [as the Warners run up to the helm] We'll search for Moby Dick until the seas dry up and the fish flop around in their underwear because all the water's gone. We'll search until - huh? [the Pequod tilts] What in the name of Neptune's pantry?! [sees Yakko steering the wheel at the helm, and runs up to him] Give me that wheel at once!

You're the captain. [spins the wheel and gives it to Captain Ahab, who spins around]

Whoa! [then spins towards the barrels knocking them down like bowling pins at a bowling alley. The Warner Siblings help him up] Who are ye?!

We're The Warner Brothers, Captain Stubing.

And The Warner Sister. Say, would you see if there's anything stuck in my teeth?

You know, if you shaved your beard, you'd look just like Ernest Borgnine.

Mark ye well that I am Captain Ahab. Cursed by vengeance to roam the seas until I find Moby Dick. You stowaways earn your keep aboard The Pequod. Now find me a white whale!

Okay.

Look! A white whale!

Where?! Where?!

[singing] Monkeys always look! Monkeys always look!

Stop your tomfoolery! Find me that whale!

Thar she blows!

Where?! Where?!

[plays the trumpet; as Louis Armstrong ] That's high C on the high seas. Yeah.

So, what do you say, Cap? Let's look for something else now.

[in normal voice] Yeah. Who cares about a white whale? Let's dress up like ghosts and scare the crew.

Don't ye understand? All I live for is to catch Moby, and destroy him for his oil, conquer him for his blubber, stomp on his big whale head and make perfume from his brain.

Captain, you've gotta go on shore leave more often.

[After the "Captain, You're a Dummy" Song]

[Moby Dick swims toward The Pequod, leaping over it]

Get Moby Dick. All hands stand to. Man the longboat!

Or woman the short boat. That way, everybody's covered.

[Captain Ahab and The Warner Siblings jump into a row boat]

Stroke.

You have a cute beard.

Stroke.

you have a wonderful voice.

Stroke.

Have you ever considered a career in radio? [they row]

Wait! Please!

Vengeance is mine at last. [splits the row boat in half, using the spear] Begone!

[sing-song voices] Oh, Captain Ahab, don't look behind you.

[turns to see Moby Dick behind him; nearly losing his balance on the front end of the row boat] Whoa - w-w-whoa. So long, Moby Dick! [throws the spear at Moby Dick]

[Moby dick catches it, uses it as a toothpick, then kicks the spear away, using his tail. Captain Ahab is now nervous]

Hey, Captain Ahab! Tell Moby all about stomping on him, and making blubber cakes and stuff out of his oil!

[Moby Dick glares angrily at Captain Ahab]

[chuckling nervously] Oh, I was just funning the youngsters about all that. I certainly wasn't serious- [swimming away for his life, scared out of his wits] Aah!

[Moby Dick chases after Captain Ahab, then eats him. Captain Ahab screams. Inside Moby Dick's mouth, Captain Ahab lights a match, then a lantern, and sits down on a broken mast]

PPinocchio

Say, nice leg.

[Captain Ahab is puzzled

[offscreen] Get me out of here!

[Moby Dick is swimming away]

So long, Captain Ahab!

Enjoy your new home!

Don't play around Moby's blowhole! [to his siblings] Alas, we're alone, adrift on the open ocean without food, water, or facial moisturizer.

[to the viewers] That's right, kids. Always remember, a moisturized face is a happy face.

Isn't there a single ship anywhere that will take pity on us?! [sobs] Any ship will do!

[The RMS Titanic, The SS Edmund Fitzgerald, and The S.S. Minnow pull up on all sides]

SSkipper

[offscreen] Hey, little buddies.

We shoulda been more specific.

[Lee, Eli and the bartender watch Chicken Boo walk in, in his hat and poncho. Only the bartender knows that he's obviously a chicken]

EEli

You know who that is? The Man with No Personality. Some say he robbed a bank and saved a puppy at the same time.

LLee

So is he for the law or agin it?

EEli

Nobody knows. Cause he ain't got no personality!

WWoman

Some say that high plains drifter is a giant chicken.

[Startled, Eli spits out a mouthful of spaghetti]
