Your experiment today, Joel, may possibly be one of the worst films we've ever presented. Sorry, not sorry.
Hey, how bad could it be? I had to riff Manos.
Oh, this movie's upsetting on a profound existential level. I'd advise you to put a disclaimer on it ASAP if you're still intending to use it as part of the experiment.
So on a scale from Mitchell to Monsters-a-Go-Go, where would you say this lands?
Ah, well let me put it this way. We built the whole Kingachrome system around Manos: The Hands of Fate and even that didn't have the effect this movie's having on our facility. This may just be the wolf mother of all bad movies.
You think you're so smart, Robinson. "I had to watch Manos. Da da da da da-" HA! Face the cinematic claustrophobia that is The Bubble. FLUSH THEM THE MOVIEEEEE!
[as Catherine enters labor]
You're taking all this too seriously. After all now, what's childbirth? Just a sexy bellyache.
Oh God, this one's king-sized!
What's there to be sorry about? I wanna hatch him out. I'm tired of being his big fat private incubator.
Well, just hold on for a little while longer. We'll be out of this. This guy's a hell of a pilot.
SAServo [as Mark]
According to Craigslist.
Better be a hell of an obstetrician.
No... just hold it in, please?
JAJoel [as Mark]
Yeah, there's gotta be a rest stop around here, somewhere.
[as Tony and Mark drive through the mysterious town]
Never seen such mixed up architecture. It almost looks like the backside of a movie lot.
That's it! A movie lot, big deal.
CACrow [as Mark]
That explains everything.
The people in the costumes, the... the cables coming from underneath the lampposts...
SAServo [as Mark]
This guy who keeps yelling at me to act better.
But I don't see any- any cameras, Tony.
Friend, all I want is the exit.
JAJoel [as Tony]
One of these warp pipes should get us out of here.
...
Ah, to hell with it, all I want's my plane.
All I want's the end credits.
You know, it just dawned on me. They're really having a tough time.
Yeah, this movie's helping me put my little problems into perspective.
That's right, my little robot friends, no matter how bad your day is, you can always say "At least I'm not in Arch Oboler's The Bubble."
But, we are watching Arch Oboler's The Bubble, and that's pretty bad.
Yeah, I guess I'm sorry I tried to cheer us up. This blows.
Look, isn't it about time?
Oh, apt thing to say to a new mom.
That either I'm in some kind of a nightmare from which I can't want up, or if what you say is true, then... then I'm part of a human zoo.
You make it sound so metal.
I'd rather be in that nightmare.
This is why you talk about human zoos before you get married.
In a zoo? Were we so free before? Was I, the nine to five routine year after year?
But Mark, to live like an animal under the eye of-
Since when haven't I been under an eye?
As a child, hell, first, first there was school, then there was the army, then after the army, the job.
CACrow [as Mark]
Then came army school.
When hadn't there been some kind of eye watching over me? Stop tearing yourself apart over a world that doesn't even exist anymore.
Be grateful for this one. Well what's the matter with this place?
CACrow [as Catherine]
Dull.
The walk? Keeps out meanness and hate.
Well, we're not they. We don't eat what they eat. Look, we know what we're doing.
SAServo [as Mark]
We're chill.
We can live out our lives here, Cath, and by ourselves in perfect health and perfect security.
JAJoel [as Mark]
Thanks to ADT.
Well what's wrong with that?
I... I look up there... and I think to myself...
CACrow [as Louis Armstrong]
What a bubbleful world!
