Yo, yo, yo, Pierce, where-a ya been, man? We need you for the spy-in-the-casino sketch.
Oh, good, good, good! What does that involve?
You know... the usual! Where the spy has a fight scene, dances with beautiful women, gets tortured and saves the day!
[pauses for a moment while staring blankly] And what do I do?
That is what you'll be doing, man, just like in your movies.
But Clifford, this is live television. In the movies we plan everything and we do it over and over again until we get it right. I mean: we have stunt-men and special effects and we go to exotic locations like... Istanbul and... Constantinople.
[The Four rats pop up again.]
Now every gal in Constantinople,
lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople,
so if you've a date, in Constantinople,
she'll be waiting in Istanbul!
You know Clifford, that annoying and repetitive rat-song, has given me time to think: I'll do the sketch!
