Joel

Hey, thanks a lot for calling in last week, everybody. It sure helps out here on the Satellite of Love to get your messages.

Hey Joel, let's listen to one of the messages!

Joel

Alright, that's a good idea. Hey Cambot, could you give it to me on a blue star field screen and give it to me one time, CG bold helvetica straight up on two?

C1Caller 1

I enjoyed the movie, but really hated the constant interruptions that were on there. It was like being in a theater with a bunch of rude Jr. High teenagers. I hope you don't continue the program, not in that fashion anyway.

What a complete wing-nut!

Joel

Well listen, Servo, everyone is entitled to their opinion. That's what makes the USA great.

Is that so, Joel Hodgson? I think that guy needs an antispasmodic.

Could I say something to our friendly caller, Joel?

Joel

Of course, Servo.

Hey buddy, is that your head, or did your neck grow a bubble?

Joel

Hey you should talk, listen I think we should listen to another one.

C2Caller 2

[excitedly] Great stuff! More more more MORE MORE!!! GIMME MORE!!! I WANT MOOOOOOOORE!!!!

Oh, he must mean Dave Moore.

No, he's on TV 4.

No, that's Moore On 4.

No, that's a black gospel singing group.

No, that's Moore By Four.

Isn't that an off road truck?

No, that's a 4x4.

No you're thinking of a 2x4.

No, that's a CB term, you know uh, "2-4, good buddy."

No, that's 10-4- no, that's a tax form you fill out.

No, that's 1040- my favorite lubricant!

[Hidaka and his Eskimo hosts observe fighter jets pursuing another jet.]

HDr. Hidaka

The war even comes to this Eskimo village. Soon there won't be any peace anywhere.

[Cut to a ship cutting through the ice.]

Joel

There's nothing more tragic than a war in an Eskimo village.

[Kenny searches for his turtle Tibby among the shore rocks.]

Tibby? Tibby? Tibby?

Joel

Like the turtle's gonna call out if he hears him.

[As the military prepares to destroy Gamera, little Kenny runs up to Dr. Murase and the General.]

Don't shoot Gamera! Don't shoot Gamera! He's good, he's good!

JAJoel [as Dr. Murase]

Let's listen to what Kenny has to say!

MDr. Murase

Yes. It might be a mistake. Maybe we shouldn't use those missiles.

Why not? It's the only way to kill that monster.

SAServo [as Murase]

Because Kenny said so.

[Scene: the city of Oshima, where people are milling about.]

AAnnouncer

The city is off-limits to civilians. Not even the press is allowed to enter the area.

JAJoel [as Announcer]

Kenny, however, is free to move about.

Hey Joel, uh... I looked up 'suspended animation' in the dictionary and I don't think that this is going to be any good at— [a spray of liquid nitrogen turns Crow frozen mid-sentence] —AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Joel

See, I told you guys it would work.

[as Kenny uncovers a pile of rocks]

Oh, it's Tibby's burial mound.

[defensive] Shut up! It's not funny. [Scoffs]

[looking for his turtle] You there?

[beginning to get a little sad] Oh Tibby...

Tibby?

...or not Tibby.

It's not- Stop it! Shut up!

Tibby!

CACrow [as Kenny]

Tibby! Tibby! SQUISH! Aww, Tibby!

[getting more emotional] That's not funny! Joel, tell him to stop!

Tibby??? Tibby!

Joel

What are you worried about? Tibby's long dead, Tom.

[gets up and begins to walk away] I'm leaving! I ha- [sobbing] I can't take this, this is terrible!

Joel

Come on back, come on.

[returning to his seat] Will you stop with the jokes?

Joel

Yeah.

[as Gamera is lured to the missile, trapped in a large capsule, and launched into space]

Uhh...

Hey, Joel, remind you of anything?

Joel

[rips Crow's arm off and hits him with it] Yeah, it reminds me of this!

Ah! Hey! Cut it out.

CSCrow and Servo

[singing] In the not too distant future- [Joel hits Servo with the arm and throws it away]

Ha ha!

You could get sued for that kind of thing.

Joel

I'm gonna sue you for using that song.

HHelen

I think he's so wonderful, I love Gamera!

Joel

Keep your shirt on, honey.
