[Standing before a crude map, "Lieutenant" Joe addresses his extremely tiny Cuba invasion force.]
Men, we're shoving off right after sundown...
You shove off!

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.
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.]

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...
ServoWell, 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!
ServoHit 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,

[singing] Do things that make you feel nice,
[singing] I wish we could be more specific!
[Our heroes discuss the film's title.]

[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.
[On the rightmost monitor, we see the group of men walking into vision]
In an underground bunker, the Major League owners plot strategies.
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.
ServoThey're coming up for more baking soda.
[Crow begins snickering.]
Ah, the ocean's beautiful in this part of the tub.
[Crow snickers again.]
ServoThis 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.]
Okay. We can dive.
Billy's out of the tub. We can dive now.

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

My word, so am I! Let me know if you find an extra one.
I think you know what I meant!
[Bart Fargo foils an assassination attempt by Scarface, who was disguised as a concierge.]
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.

ServoOlé!
[Crow giggles.]
And the way you dove out the window was just terrible!

It is nice, yeah.
[Crow laughs.]

Fifty cents. Half a dollar.
ServoIn those days, that'd buy you a car.
Benjamin Franklin, eh?
Bite me, Franklin!
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.
He was the best President we ever had. [N]
. . .
[Ben Franklin's silhouette appears in the mirror.]
ServoAlfred Hitchcock! [N]
An American Democracy...
Would be really great.
[The short's title is first mentioned by the narrator over the main theme.]
Oh. When did they change the name?
