[INPIT agent Martha Walsh begins to strip out of her jumpsuit.]

Servo

Mike, how come you don't look like this in your jumpsuit?

A-are you sure you're buying the right kind of jumpsuit?

Hmmm...

[Dr. Leopold lumbers into town after having turned himself into a half-man, half-catfish monster.]

Servo

[excited] Oh! Oh! Oh! You know who they need to take care of him? Huh? Do you know? Huh? Do you know? Catfish Hunter, that's who! Ha ha ha!

[unimpressed] Hmm... that doesn't really work for me. See, the guy changed his name.

Yeah, to Catfish Chapstick, so the joke doesn't work.

Servo

[deflated] Oh... but it was a good joke! Wordplay like that doesn't come around so often.

But it only works if you get the correct, current name.

Servo

[disappointed] So the joke doesn't work? Sheesh...

. . .

Tom, are... are you sulking?

Servo

[angrily] No!

Yes you are, look--look, I'm sorry. It was a good joke...

No! No it wasn't, Mike, 'cause his name is Catfish Chapstick...

Ssshh! He's suffered enough.

[Narrator "Doc" Lockhart introduces himself and his travelling companions.]

Leslie Ann Walker. All I know about her is she's a good friend of... Tanya Yazzie, my prize student.

SAServo [as Doc]

Prize student in that she gets Cs, but she's really cute.

[Kathy is worried about a cut on Paul's forehead.]

I don't live too far from here. And I have lots of antiseptics at my place.

Servo

Dozens! No, hundreds of antiseptics!

Your place?

Yeah, my place.

I call it "Antiseptic Manor."

Fine. Your place, then.

[Thunder rumbles.]

CACrow [as God]

Not his place! Fornicators!

[As a shirtless Paul roams at night, the camera cuts to a shot of the moon and zooms in.]

Tha-- That's just a picture of the moon!

Servo

Yeah, the moon backed out of this movie at the last minute.

[Bad guy Palermo, disguised as a robed priest, runs from Geronimo.]

Guess he's a... felonious monk!

I'm gonna nail some theses to his head!

[The MST3K crew makes fun of the television version's censorship during a particularly profanity-heavy scene.]

PPalermo

[After his brother has been shot by Geronimo.] You son of a-- [Audio edit]!

...what?

Servo

Huh. What do you think he's a son of? Son of a preacher man? Son of a son of a sailor, maybe?

. . .

PPalermo

You son of a-- [Audio edit]!

SAServo [as Palermo]

Uh... something!

. . .

Get off your knees, you son of a-- [Audio edit]!

MAMike [as Geronimo]

Same thing you said!

. . .

PPalermo

I swear to God, you're gonna pay for this, you-- [Audio edit]!

SAServo [as Palermo]

I'll kill you, but I won't curse you!

. . .

[Much, much later in the movie...]

Servo

Maybe this would be a good time to call him a "son of a-- [Audio edit]!"

[Geronimo leaps from a car just before it explodes.]

Joe Don Baker's famous delayed reaction farts!

. . .

[As the fiery explosion clears, a car door inexplicably falls from the sky.]

Servo

And God sends a door chassis from Heaven.

[Over the end credits theme, "You Better Run" by Bill Scott]

BSBill Scott

You better ru-u-un

Servo

Or he'll steal your lunch!

BSBill Scott

You better hi-i-ide

...your lu-u-unch!

BSBill Scott

You better ru-u-un

Cause he's got the runs!

BSBill Scott

Cause he won't stop till he gets his man

Or your lu-u-unch!

Oh yeah!

Servo

Woo!

Lay it!

. . .

BSBill Scott

They say his kind isn't bound for heaven/The ranger...

Takes a roast and wraps it in bacon

BSBill Scott

That may be true

Servo

But there's potatoes on the si-i-ide! Woo!

Yeah! Pass the gravy now!

You know, maybe we should lay off the food jokes, guys.

Yeah, I guess it's not really fair to Joe Don Baker.

I mean, some people just metabolize a little slower –

Servo

MEATBALLS FRIED IN LA-A-ARD!

All right, Servo! Sorry, Mike, all bets are off.

Oh, come on now.

CSCrow and Servo

Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, munch, munch, munch, munch, chew, chew, chew, chew, gorge, gorge, gorge, gorge, burp, burp, burp, burp, STUFF LOTS OF FOOD IN YOUR MEAN BABY FA-A-ACE!

Oh, now you guys prepared that.

Come on, it's an obvious line, Mike.

Servo

Pork chops, cream puffs, candy bars!

Pizzas, Cheetos, Mallomars!

Servo

He won't stop till he eats it a-a-all!

MLMike [leaves]

Yeah, OK, that's it. I'm going, you guys. Do your food jokes.

Yeah! Give me seconds, baby!

Servo

Hey, baby, you gonna finish that?

Anyone gonna eat that last piece of cake? 'Cause I will!

Servo

Aw, somebody give me a napkin!

[A dishevelled Hamlet with mussed hair ominously approaches Ophelia.]

SAServo [as Hamlet]

Ugh. I stuck a fork in the outlet.

. . .

[Hamlet stares intently at Ophelia, then puts a hand to his head.]

MAMike [as Hamlet]

[in stoner voice] Oh, man. Me and Horatio got blasted on aquavit -- woke up on the express bus to Copenhagen.

[Hamlet talks with Ophelia in her "closet".]

OOphelia

My prince…

SAServo [as Ophelia]

… are back from Fotomat.

. . .

I never gave you aught.

CACrow [as Ophelia]

Tscha!

OOphelia

My honored prince… you know right well you did.

SAServo [as Hamlet]

Right well did not!

To be or not to be...

The literary equivalent of "Da-da-da-dunnn!"

That is the question.

I'll take "to be" for 50, Alex.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune...

Servo

Starring Shelly Long and Bette Midler!

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them?

Ow, my shin's right on the edge of a stair.

To die: to sleep.

Yeah, that's what we're doing right now, Bub.

No more; and by a sleep to say we end the heart-ache and the tousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to...

Ok, we need a predicate, now.

...'tis a consummation devoutly to be wish'd.

Especially with Ophelia, man! [snickers]

Oh, you...

To die, to sleep.

Servo

To SLEEP!

Whoa, that's an old chesnut.

To sleep...

Servo

To SLEEEEEP

Perchance to dream...

Servo

The impossible DREAM?

Aye, there's the rub.

I knew I had some rub left...

. . .

...When he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin?

Heh, he said "bare bodkin," hehe.

Who would fardels bear...

Ha, fardels...

. . .

And makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others--

Servo

SUM UP!

--that we know not of?

. . .

So I'm a chicken for not stabbing myself--that's all you needed to say!
