WWatney

You know how to party, don't'cha, Cabot?

MAMike [as Watney]

You just put your lips together and drink!

[Cabot's car begins shaking wildly as it enters the unseen portal to Gor. Watney hangs on to the dashboard in fear.]

Mike

Any chance Barney Rubble there could go through the windshield?

[The scene suddenly cuts to the deserts of Koruba, without any sort of transition explaining how Cabot and Watney got there.]

Sorry, folks, we simply could not afford to have special effects!

WWatney

Listen, Cabot, what the hell are you talking about? Where are we? What's going on here, Cabot?

CACrow [as Cabot]

Ssh! I'm acting!

I must go to Koruba!

WWatney

What?

Koruba.

[Cabot walks away, and starts ignoring Watney]

WWatney

The same to you! Cabot, listen. Listen to me! Cabot, what's going on here? What happened last night? Did I do something wrong? Damnit, Cabot.

MCMike, Crow & Servo

[chanting] Kill him... kill him... kill him... kill him...

WWatney

Cabot, will you listen to me? I wanna go home right now, Cabot. Where are you going? No, no, wait there, Cabot! Tell me what the hell's going on, here. Is this one of your crazy science experiments, huh?

Mike

[whispers] Cabot, no-one would see if you killed him right now!

They'd probably give you a free drink at the Pullman.

GGuard

Who are you?

My name is Cabot.

GGuard

Cabot?

[Numerous Korubian peasants turn around in excitement at the mention of Cabot's name.]

P1Peasant #1

Cabot!

P2Peasant #2

Cabot!

P3Peasant #3

Cabot!

P4Peasant #4

Cabot!

P5Peasant #5

Cabot!

Mike

Nope, doesn't ring a bell, sorry.

[on the possibility of confronting a large group of armed slavers]

Listen. As long as I have some blood left in my veins, I will always fight slavery and oppression!

MAMike [as Cabot]

Uh, starting tomorrow.

[The slaves are taken to a small trading village where they are to be sold.]

Check it out, it's one of them Jack Nicklaus golf communities!

Mike

[to Servo] ...Are you old? How do you know about that?

[Jack Palance's character is engaged in a lengthy plot recap with the evil Queen Lara]

What are you talking about?

MAMike [as Jack Palance]

[resignedly] I really don't know.

[Mike and the bots read excerpts from Jack Palance's fictional autobiography about the making of "Outlaw"]

Let's see, uh... [doing a Jack Palance impression] "Day One: missed call. Partied all night with that platinum midget fellow and Urbano. Still having trouble seeing straight."

Mike

Okay... [takes book and does own Jack Palance impression] "Day Three: missed call. Wandered into shot yesterday and they decided to keep it." [referring to his character's recurring phrase] "What the heck does 'Avante, avante' mean?"

[takes book, does Palance] "Day Five: missed call. After four days of shooting, finally got script today and guess what? I'm not playing Thomas Aquinas. I'm supposed to be some kind of freakin' wizard."

[book; Palance] "Day Eight: missed call. Just can't get cancelled series 'Brunk' off my mind. Why? Whyyyy? Can't keep anything down. Not sleeping."

Mike

"Day Nine: missed call. Went to the village with Gina. My voice scares little Italian kids. Spent entire per diem on bunch of crap."

"Day Ten: missed call. I think I--" [startled, reverts back to normal voice] "I think I killed a man today. More later?"

[all shudder]

[During the end credits]

Ah, well.

Have you seen the outtakes for this film?

Mike

No, did they show 'em on Bloopers and Practical Jokes?

No, uh, Faces of Death, actually. [They all laugh.] Sounds like Miami Vice. Say, was this movie ever released in the theaters, you think?

Mike

No, I don't think so, but it's a good bet it was on the USA network.

Oh! The USA-- [imitates the fanfare the network used in the early '90s] I really like those original movies they made especially for the USA network. [imitates the fanfare again]

Mike

Yeah, I know, they're great, and they all seem to have titles like, uh, Malibu Death Breast. [They laugh]

Yeah, that or-- [As a TV announcer] "Jeff Conaway and Shari Belafonte-Harper play a deadly game of cat and mouse in Murder Most Moist."

Oh, hey! Hey, hey, let me play, I've got one. [As a TV announcer] "Judy Landers is on the trail of a devious killer in Peekaboo Lace, P.I."

That's pretty good. Oh, wait, how bout [Announcer] "Jeff Conaway is a vigilante who stalks by night in Dark Underpants"?

Mike

How about this one? [Announcer] "Lindsay Wagner is a sexy speech therapist held hostage in Tongue Lashing!"

I like it!

Hold it, hold it, hold it! I got it, I got it. How about "Jeff Conaway is up to his mouth in murder in French Pistol. CATCH IT!" [as they laugh] This is fun! Yeah.

Mike

Okay, here. Try and top this one. "Jeff Conaway is a college professor whose secret life catches up with him in Death Spank!"

Ooh, good one, "Death Spank"!

I've got a good one. How about "Chris Lemmon and Heather Locklear form a crime fighting unit in The Lingerie Justice Files"?

Ah, that's great. Wait, wait, I've got another. "Jeff Conaway and Morgan Fairchild are The Crotchless Killers."

I like it, I like it! It's got verve, it's got-- Oh, how about "Hard Buckner weaves a web of suspicion between Richard Chamberlain and Ben Vereen in Tap Pant Desire"?

Nice use of Ben Vereen.

Mike

I like the way you think. Try this one on. "William Devane tracks a killer on a tropical paradise in The Hawaii Edible Underwear Murders!"

Mike, I love you for that one! Okay, get this. "Lisa Hartman is a streetwise cop who tracks a killer in Cheek Beats."

You know, Servo, I'd marry you for that, but-- Oh, I have one. This one's great. "Jeff Conaway is a crazed cult leader in The Waco Panty Raid."

Mike

Um, uh, "Eric Roberts is a freaked out artist who gets more than he bargained for in Naked Came The Nude!"

"Peter Deluise and Tommy Tune are Cod Police."

Mike

[as they exit the theater] That was good.

[After Mike throws Servo into the air, he's stuck in the rafters.]

Mike

Come on, Tom, just drop, I'll catch ya.

But I'm scared!

Mike

Don't be ridiculous. Come on.

Okay, here I come.

[Servo falls... right behind Mike.]

We can't have nice things, can we?

Ow, ow, help me, Mike.

Mike

Okay, I'm coming, I'm coming.

(Noticing the Mads' light) Oh, it'll have to wait! The dual airbags are calling!

[Over the title screen]:

[excited] With Jane Russell? Oh please oh please oh please oh please...

Mike

No, don't get your hopes up.

[in phenomenally bad ADR] Get out of here! You disgusting worm!

XXenos

At once... your... Royal... Highness.

MAMike [as Jack Palance]

Now... if... you'll... ex...cuse me, I'm going to go... tear my... agent a new...

[A car approaches a railroad crossing sign at night, adorned with the typical "RR" symbol.]

[growling] Rrrrr.

. . .

If you haven't seen the signs...

Mike

Boy, you haven't lived.

...then this train might come as a surprise to you.

The Sooooooooooooul Train!

CACrow [as Don Cornelius]

Thank you very much, Clarissa...

[Close-up of woman driving, having difficulty with a map]

Here's another problem on the roads that we officers face all too often...

Mike

Women drivers! [everyone chuckles condecsendingly]

So, if the next car I stop happens to be yours...

MAMike [as patrolman]

Save a place for me at your dinner table!

...DON'T tell me that you were speeding a little, only BREAKING the law a little...

...uh-oh...

...only doing something a little bit wrong, save THAT for somebody else, brother!

OH, MY GOD, HE'S SNAPPED!

Because I've seen too many "litte bit" follies...

He's a bad cop on the loose!

...and they end up a little bit DEAD!

Mike

Now I'm gonna grab me a little bit of lunch!
