[Tom Servo shows off his new ventriloquist dummy head to Mike, Crow, and Gypsy, terrifying them badly.]

Ta-da!

Mike

WHOA!!

Crow : [horrified] WHOA, WHOA!!! [Crow sobs loudly and uncontrollably]

Pretty impressive! Hey folks! I tell ya, I feel like a new man!

[horrified] I FEEL ILL!!! [Gypsy leaves out of disgust and horror]

I know what you’re thinking. Cary Grant, right? I could see that, sure! Maybe even a little touch of Seinfeld? Ha, ha, ha, you know I'm weighing several new career options, fellas. Politics, TV news, I'm even considering franchising the look, he-he, maybe a series of infomercials. Hey kids, you gotta get ahead? get a head!

Mike

Ha ha ha ha... GET HIM! [Mike attempts to pounce on Servo and rip the dummy head off while Crow continues wailing and screaming]

[On the SOL Bridge, Mike has just explained that he reprogrammed the 'bots to have different regional speech patterns.]

So, Crow, before we go to the show, would you like to have Coke?

Uh sure, I'll have a root beer.

I said Coke.

I know, I'll have a root beer.

All I have is Coke.

Oh, then Forget it, I'll just use the bubbler.

Okay. Huh?

Oh, uh, by the way, what show are we seeing? I thought we were going to a movie.

We are.

And a show?

No!

Then why did you say we're going to a show?

Because we are!

What show?

Awakenings.

That's a movie!

I know! [sighs] Are you going to come with?

Come with what?

Me, Crow, me! Are you going to come with me?!

Yeah, but I'm a little low, could you borrow me some money?

Mike

Wait a minute, okay, I think that's enough. You know, there's a difference between regionalism and just plain stupidity.

But Mike, irregardless of that fact...

. . .

So what time's dinner?

Noon okay?

But that's lunch!

Lunch, dinner, same thing.

[The Mad's light flashes]

Oh, something's flashing over to the whatsit there.

Ooh, the blinker!

[As boss-murderer Riley approaches, Remedy rides off, accidentally dropping a letter revealing Riley's guilt.]

MAMike [as Storyteller]

Ungodly coincidences of the Old West.

[Riley turns to one of his henchmen.]

RRiley

He dropped something. See what it is.

CACrow [as Riley]

It's a plot device. It's very flimsy, so be careful.

SServo (Mirror)

[being restrained by Mike] I.... ORDER YOUUUU!!! LET ME GOOOO!!! You traitorous pigs! What's going on?! Where's my personal guard?! Ha ha ha, alright Mike, whatever your game is, I'll play it, mister.

Mike

Apparently, some sort of transposition has taken place.

Extremely interesting, Plankton- I have no idea why I said that.

Mike

Anyway, we gotta get him inside the theater. [begins to pull him offscreen]

I'll get his feet.

SServo (Mirror)

What is it that will buy you?! Power?! I can get that for you! Money?! Credits?! Name it! NAME IIIT!!!

[as "Mirror" Servo is brought into the theater against his will]

SServo (Mirror)

Let... me... GO! Would you just DIE?! I'll have you killed and then tortured, and then-

Mike

Have a seat! Sit down!

SServo (Mirror)

And- I'll- Oh hey, a cowboy movie! Hee hee!

Mike

Right. Sit and watch it.

[Col. Hunt answers the phone.]

CHCol. Hunt

Colonel Hunt speaking.

WWikowski

Good morning, Colonel Hunt! You're a hard man to find.

MAMike [as Hunt]

Sarah?

CHCol. Hunt

Who's this?

WWikowski

Well, it's a little difficult to introduce oneself over the phone...

CACrow [as Wikowski]

I sell paneling.

WWikowski

I'm John Wikowski, father of one of the pilots that transferred to your command a couple of weeks ago.

CHCol. Hunt

[suddenly smiling] Oh yes, our Lieutenant Wikowski!

And his face springs into action!

CHCol. Hunt

I do know you by reputation, of course, Congressman. Pleasure to speak with you in person. But I believe your boy is up on a training mission right now, or I'd have him talk to you.

WWikowski

Oh, I merely wanted to introduce myself to you...

MAMike [as Wikowski]

Perhaps dinner...

WWikowski

We have a bit in common, you see...

CACrow [as Wikowski/Liberace]

My brother George...

WWikowski

You remember flying in the ETO together, 20 years ago?

CHCol. Hunt

Quite a lot of us pilots were in the ETO together at that time, sir.

WWikowski

Yes, I suppose so.

[to Mike, mishearing] They were in BTO?

Mike

I guess...

[A fighter pilot drops a bomb from his plane; it hits the testing range and a second stage flies out of the bomb as if on a spring.]

Sproioioioing! Bd-d-d-d-d-d...

It's the new Air Force Goofy Bomb, from Wham-O!

Mike

Yeah, go ahead and laugh; there's a kitty in that bomb.

[The bomb lands and explodes in a cloud of dust.]

It landed on Pig-Pen!

MAMike [as Crashed Pilot]

Oh, it was pretty rough, man, I had to eat a lizard and drink my urine!

SAServo [as Rescuer]

You were only here for ten minutes!

So basically, according to themselves, the Air Force is a bunch of leather-faced, not-so-bright, heavy drinking, dull-witted speed freaks who poop in their pants and can't make it with women, right?

Mike

Um...

Am I right?

Mike

Yeah. That is correct.

[during yet another scene of planes refueling]

You asked for more refueling, and we're giving it to you!

Mike

Yes! I'm at a loss, now we've done promiscuity entendres?

Check.

Uh, cuddling in the afterglow?

Check.

Mike

Uh, multiple partner allusions?

Got it.

Uh, premature ejeculation innuendo?

Yup.

Mike

Gas station jokes.

Been there.

Impotence.

Oh yeah.

Mike

Uh, one-night stand stuff?

Servo; It's all covered.

Mike

[disappointed] Okay, let's just watch then.

Well, fueling is a beautiful natural thing that's nothing to mock.

Mike

Okay, you're right.

...

[singing to the score] Youuu and I, refueled by moonlight! Fuel, like sparkling champaaagne!

Mike

I don't know where you end and I begin!

[the fueling process ends]

CACrow [as the plane]

No man, no! You can't cut me off, just 4000 more pounds then I'll quit! I'm so cold...

Oh, a junkie joke.

[Young Don's clothes are all in a pile on his bedroom floor.]

Uh-oh! That's no way to treat your clothes!

MAMike [as Don]

But that's how they treat me!

[At the behest of the narrator, little Mildred puts away her clothes at high speed.]

SAServo [as Henry Higgins]

Why can't a woman be more like a man?

Mike

In the '50s, people responded well to authoritative disembodied voices.

The fun never stops when you're clean and tidy!

[The narrator instructs Mildred on brushing her hair.]

Brush, and brush, and brush--at least 100 strokes.

MAMike [as Narrator]

Just keep brushing and brushing and saying the name of our Lord and Savior!

The Sinister Urge (movie)

[to Gypsy] We're giving you a shower!

[surprised] Huh!?

Oh look, she's surprised, isn't that just darling?

[flustered] Well, I'm not getting married and... am I pregnant!?

Oh Gypsy, every woman gets a shower and it's just so lovely!

Well, I'm pretty sure I'm a woman.

Open that one first, Mike, it's from me! Doesn't she look lovely?

Mike

It's... pinking shears!

Oh! Thank you, how very thoughtful, and lovely!

Oh, those are just darling, Crow! OK, this is from me...

Mike

And it is... pinking shears!

Oh! Oh!

Just like mine! How darling and lovely!

Well yeah, Gypsy! I saw that Crow got you the same thing, and that gave me the idea! [everyone laughs]

Mike

OK, this one is from Cambot, and it is pinking shears!

Oh! Better get pinking! [Gypsy laughs]

Mike

OK though, Tom and Crow went on one more...

Oh let me guess, let me guess... Pinking shears?

Mike

Nope...

Oh... .

Mike

Oh I guess it is! Pinking shears! [Gypsy laughs]

Well Tom saw them and I had to agree!

How lovely and darling!
