[Eva and Diabolik make love in a pile of money.]
They're really gonna have to get their money laundered.
Steve Forbes and his wife!
. . .
You know, with my budget, I'd be rolling around in a handful of change.
. . .
Paper cuts are brutal.
. . .
The young Alan Greenspan!
. . .
They got pretty injured when they tried this with gold bars.
. . .
If they make love in English pound notes, their sex is 50% better.
. . .
You're the frendliest teller I ever met! Last time, I just got a toaster!
. . .
You know, if he'd stolen just a little less, I could see her ass right now.
. . .
Got greed?
Member, FDIC! [chuckles]
[As mob boss Valmont meets with his henchmen, a whooping horn sounds the approach of a speedboat.]
The S. S. Jo Anne Worley!
Is that Stud coming?
I beg your pardon?
[In a later scene, Valmont addresses the man who arrived in the speedboat as "Stud" -- "Stud, you brought bad news." -- clarifying the remark.]
[At home, the gang watches The Crawling Eye, the first film in MST3K's cable run.]
"The Crawling Eye". The Marty Feldman Story.
Oh, Forrest Tucker. He's the guy who makes sure all the trees' shirttails are in.
This movie seems kind of familiar, doesn't it?
Hmmm.
Specials
[In a field, Scully watches Mulder pull up some sod.]
Here, Agent Mulder is on the trail of Sod-Laying Man!
Ground's dry about an inch down. This was laid recently.
…unlike me.
Was it the same "they" who gave you those bikes?
No, It was Bike-Gifting Man.
Ever After
We mustn't go around feeling sorry for ourselves! No matter how bad things get, they can always get worse!
The First Lutheran!
. . .
Your features are so… masculine.
You look like Pat Summerall.
. . .
No wonder you're built for hard labour.
You'll be giving birth to Paul Prudhomme.
Welcome back to the MST3K Blockbuster Review, featuring the summer movies, that, thanks to an amendment tacked onto last year's highway bill, we're all required to see.
Um-hmm.
Our next one is the Jamie Lee Curtis thriller, Halloween Water, which… I think is about a pumpkin-flavored soft drink or some such thing.
The Truman Show
Because you know what? I can't learn anything from you I can't read in some [audio cuts out]in' book!
Oh! I've read some [audio cuts out]in' book!
[Jim and Ray are on a ferry on Lake Maracaibo.]
Lake Maracaibo seemed narrow here. But it's actually 60 miles wide at one point, and 120 miles long.
I felt like a complete ass mistaking it as narrow.
I've taken this opportunity to reassess my views on all inland bodies of water.
. . .
[Soon, Jim and Ray are back on the road.]
I wanted nothing more than to throw myself on my hotel bed and cry.
Sure, it's a different country, and I'm a foreigner here. But the Venezuelans have already made me feel welcome. All I have to do now is lick that language problem.
… and Escobar here.
[after Breck is shot and falls from his position]
You know that puppet does his own stunts.
Does he really?
I personally don't believe that puppets should be on TV.
[SID announces the return of Captain Scarlet to Lunarville 7]
They've come back. Orson, bring them here at once.
Yes, sir.
What they have seen must never get back to Earth. Bring them here.
[entering the room] There's no need, Lunar Controller. On the assumption that his first note would be rejected and subject to our investigation, the World President authorized me to place you under close arrest, and escort you back to Earth.
Arrest me? You are fools, Earth men. Already a complex is being built. Soon, the Mysterons will come to take over the moon, and then the Earth.
We have seen the complex, and it will be destroyed.
No. You will never leave the moon alive. Any of you.
SID, prepare a Lunar rocket for immediate launch. We are leaving at once for the Earth.
Don't waste your breath.
A Lunar rocket is ready at bay three.
No! SID, this is the Lunar Controller. Seal all exits!
Come on.
[imitating a seal] Get it? Seal? ... never mind.
SID. I am giving you an order! Orson, seize them!
[Captain Blue knocks out Orson]
Let's go!
[standing in front of SID] I command you! SEAL! ALL! EXITS!
[imitating a seal again]
Okay, I get it...
It's no good, Lunar Controller, SID cannot identify you.
I figured you would.
I changed recognition disks with you last night.
[getting desperate] SID! This is the Lunar Controller! Stop them!!! SEAL! ALL! EXITS!
I'm sorry. Your recognition disk cannot authorize that.
Obey! OBEY! SEAL ALL EXITS!
I am sorry. Your recognition disk does not authorize that.
...
[pointing a gun at SID] This is your last chance, SID! Seal all exits!
I am sorry. Your recognition disk- [Lunar Controller begins to shoot SID repeatedly, causing SID to malfunction catastrophically] I... AM... SORRY...
...
[continuing to shoot SID repeatedly as an alarm sounds throughout the base] Obey! OBEY!!!
Alright already!
You know, there was an off switch, dumb-o.
[SID begins exploding, and destroying Lunarville 7]
I... AM... SORRY... I... AM... SOOOOORRRRRYYYYY...
I'm sorry you two had to see that.
It wasn't pretty.
I'm all choked up.
[We cut to Crow in the S.O.L.'s maintenance basement bay, inevitably making yet another escape attempt by digging his way through the hull with a pickaxe.]
[singing It's a Long Way to Tipperary] It's a long way to tipperary... [*Thunk!*] To the sweetest girl I know...! [*Thunk!*] Goodbye to Noah Beery... [*Thunk!*] Hello Harold LLOOOOOOYD...! [*Thunk!*]
[O.S.] Crow!
Huh?
Crow, listen, you gotta stop!
Oh! Hi, Mike! I found a perfect spot! Once I break through this wall, we'll tunnel our way right back to Earth! [*Thunk!*]
[hovering down] Crow, you big dope! You can't tunnel through space!
Come, come, boys! We must confound Jerry at every turn! [*Thunk!*] [continues singing]
[quickly rushes to Crow] Crow, no! You'll breach the hull!
[Crow breaches the satellite's hull as he tries to escape, causing the air to be sucked out.]
[quickly rushing to something to hang onto for dear life] WOAAAH! CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!
Woah, I didn't expect this!
Attaining.... Maximum RPM.... Adjust pitch and yaw thrusters..... Stabilize! There, that should do it— [gets sucked towards hole] WOOOAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
[Mike quickly catches Servo, screaming for dear life, by the hand.]
Wow, this is confusing! Uh, Mike, you wanna hand me my calculations?
[A wad of paper is blown across the bay and hits Crow in the face.]
Thank you! Wow, look at that: "Breach Hull - All Die"! Even had it underlined! Hah!
[Mike is still holding on to the screaming Servo for his dear life.]
[screaming] WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA-AH! OH! OH! I DON'T WANNA DIE! OHHH! MOMMY! MOMMY! AAAHHHHH! I LOVE YOU, MIIIIIIIKE! [*Sproing!*] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
[Servo is pulled out of Mike's hand and straight towards the hole.]
SERVO!
[Servo ends up landing right-side up on the hole with his hoverskirt.]
[impressed and satisfied] Attaboy, Servo!
I won't do that again!
. . .
Hey, I'm experiencing a sensation altogether new to me, and frankly... I LOVE IT!
Now, Crow, I told you: no more escape attempts.
Well believe me Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and... I went ahead anyway.
Now, here you go. [pulls Servo off the hole, replacing him wth Crow's helmet that he removed earlier]
[upsettingly] Aw, darn!
[*Ding! Ding! DING! DING!*]
It's time! Dr. F is calling for you!
[We cut to see Dr. Forrester on the Hexfield Viewscreen, looking through a strand of film reel. Mike and the 'bots wheel in.]
Ah! Mike! Robots! I'm feeling particularly evil, because today's experiment is a stinky, cinematic suppository called This Island Earth! You may all just bow down before me after this stink-burger! Say, come to think about it, I don't believe you bowed down before me, recently!
Uh, sure, we have! Last week!
No, no, no. I think that was more of a curtsy of a bow. So, why won't we all just bow down... NOW? [cuts off life support systems]
Now, see, I don't see the reason why you make us— [starts choking]
[Mike and the 'bots start conforming to Dr. Forrester.]
. . .
[panicking] Bowing, sir!
[*Dialogue speed not understandable*]
[Pleased, Dr. Forrester restores life support systems. Mike and the 'bots get up from the floor.]
Okay, Dr. Forrester! Geez!
What a dickweed!
Well, Now that we have our little fun, prepare yourself for... oh, but before I start the experiment, uh, did you... y'know... go?
[dejected] Yes...
Because I don't want to have to stop the movie before... y'know...
You won't...
Then, prepare yourself for This Island Earth! [pulls a lever]
[*Movie Sign Alarm*]
Oh! We got MOVIE SIGN!
[Mike and the 'Bots rush to the auditorium, screaming along the way, while the camera treks down through the famous Countdown Door Hallway that leads to the auditorium.]
