[Close-up of John Carradine smoking a cigarette...]

[deep voice] John Carradine for Viceroy.

[A heavy-set, stubble-haired Coleman Francis appears running from cops, identified by credits as the star]

MAMike [as Announcer]

Coleman Francis is Curly Howard, in The Fugitive!

SAServo [as Curly Howard]

Hey, Moe!

[Standing before a crude map, "Lieutenant" Joe addresses his extremely tiny Cuba invasion force.]

Men, we're shoving off right after sundown...

CSCrow, Servo [as Men]

You shove off!

…and I want to give you some idea of what to expect.

MAMike [as Joe]

There's 80,000 of them, and seven of us.

At 12 o'clock midnight, we hit the beach. At 12:30 a patrol boat makes its nightly run. We have 30 minutes to scale 80 foot cliffs and clear the beach.

SAServo [as Joe]

Ted, you take Havana.

[As Griffin is beating on Landis at a trainyard, the scene suddenly changes to an auto shop exterior, even while the fight music continues.]

Ah! I think my neck got broken in that jump cut!

Servo

[sighs] I see the movie has finally thrown up its hands and said "I just don't know!"

I want to hurt this movie, but I could never hurt it the way it hurt me!

[depressed sigh] You know, aside from the fact that I'll never again experience joy in my life, I don't think Red Zone Cuba had any kind of negative effect on me...

Yeah, even being Carol Channing didn't shield me from the effect of this one...

Servo

Well, hey! I know what we can do to cheer ourselves up! Let's sing us a bouncy, upbeat song! Okay!?

That's a great idea!

Okay!

Servo

Hit it, Cambot! [singing] Whenever I want to cry and bawl, Because I'm feeling sad, I think of ironing boards and drywall, And then I don't feel so bad!

Whenever I'm feeling down and blue And sorry for myself I get some staples and some glue And I'm happy as an elf!

[singing] Whenever I start to mope and pout And there's nothing left in my soul I check the toilet paper and if we're out I buy another roll!

[singing] Have you ever touched a Post-it Note? Have you ever looked at boots? Have you ever sat down in a chair? Have you ever used a paper clip?

[singing] So if you listen to our advice,

Servo

[singing] And you wanna feel terrific!

[singing] Do things that make you feel nice,

[singing] I wish we could be more specific!

[Our heroes discuss the film's title.]

Servo

Oh, I'm glad they said "Danger!", or I might have thought it was just a normal death ray.

[Over a shot of man watching security cameras in a control booth]

(in a snooty British accent) You're watching Brian Television: All Brian, all the time.

In an underground bunker, the Major League owners plot strategies.

SAServo [as watcher]

Why can't I get the Red Shoe Diaries?

[We cut to an obvious toy submarine surfacing within a pool of water.]

The Tidy Bowl Man is doing all right for himself.

Servo

They're coming up for more baking soda.

[Crow begins snickering.]

Ah, the ocean's beautiful in this part of the tub.

[Crow snickers again.]

Servo

This set is at least three box tops.

[recovering his composure] Special effects by... Billy!

. . .

[The radar operator climbs a ladder toward a hatch.]

Don't go up there! You'll become a toy!

. . .

[The men from the helicopter have climbed down into the submarine.]

SSub Captain

Okay. We can dive.

SAServo [as Captain]

Billy's out of the tub. We can dive now.

CACrow [as Captain]

Head towards the drain.

[Shot in slow motion, the sub pulls away and the toy helicopter "falls" off into the water.]

Das Toy Boat!

SAServo [as Captain]

Uhp, did somebody tie on the helicopter?

Oop! Eh... This must be a massive organization to be able to throw away a $1.50 helicopter.

[A couple of henchmen burst into Lucille's apartment looking for Bart Fargo.]

HHenchman

We're looking for a man.

MAMike [as Henchman]

Are you him?

LLucille

My word, so am I! Let me know if you find an extra one.

SAServo [as Henchman]

I think you know what I meant!

[Bart Fargo foils an assassination attempt by Scarface, who was disguised as a concierge.]

BFBart Fargo

You know, Scarface, that was a very silly get-up. It didn't suit you. And your imitation of a waiter was very funny. "Your breakfast, señor..." You should have changed your voice too.

[Bart opens a balcony window and chuckles. Scarface lunges at Bart, but misses and dives out the window, screaming.]

Servo

Olé!

[Crow giggles.]

MAMike [as Bart]

And the way you dove out the window was just terrible!

[Scarface lands on the pavement with a thump.]

SAServo [as Bart]

Ooh, sorry, ma'am.

BFBart Fargo

That's too bad.

Oh, come on! What about "he really fell for me"? Or "his hopes have been crushed"?

[Bart Fargo's car skids off the road, over a cliff, and into the sea; however, the effect is clearly achieved by someone simply rolling a toy car off a rock into the water.]

Servo

Hot Wheels!

Some little boy is going to be very upset.

[After Bart Fargo's partner is gunned down, the movie's catchy, upbeat "Ba-pa-da-pa-da-da" theme music starts up again.]

Servo

This isn't appropriate right now, his friend is dying over there!

[beat]

Servo

But it's nice.

It is nice, yeah.

[Crow laughs.]

[William looks at a Franklin half-dollar he's holding.]

WWilliam

Fifty cents. Half a dollar.

Servo

In those days, that'd buy you a car.

WWilliam

Benjamin Franklin, eh?

CACrow [as William]

Bite me, Franklin!

WWilliam

He was supposed to be a pretty smart fellow when it came to money. I suppose he could've told me how to keep out of the red.

CACrow [as William]

He was the best President we ever had. [N]

. . .

[Ben Franklin's silhouette appears in the mirror.]

Servo

Alfred Hitchcock! [N]

[The short's title is first mentioned by the narrator over the main theme.]

Oh. When did they change the name?

[as the music ends] PUERTO RICO!
