[Joel and the Bots watch exactly the same opening credits they've seen five times before.]

It is sort of hypnotic, isn't it?

Hip? Not. Ick!

The Slime People (movie)

[After landing at a deserted L.A. airport, Tom Gregory tries and fails to get an operator on a payphone.]

SAServo [as Gregory]

Maybe I dialed wrong. Let me try again. Let's see… "zero".

CACrow [as Answering Machine]

Hi. This is the human race. We're not in right now. Please speak clearly after the sound of the bomb.

[Tolliver, planning a mocking exposé about the slime-people frenzy, leaves the car to find a typewriter in a building.]

Genius waits for no one!

But stupidity hammers on deserted buildings.

. . .

[Finally encountering the slime people, Tolliver returns, cowering in the car.]

TTolliver

I… I've never seen anything like it!

Even in Tijuana!

[Cal turns around to avoid a crowd of shambling refugees, who then pursue them.]

At night.

In a fog.

[in an upbeat mood while Joel and Servo are groggy from waking up] Here's a little morning poem-

Birdie with the yellow bill

hopped upon my windowsill;

cocked his shining eye and said

"What's for breakfast, Grandma?".

[during the Invention Exchange, holding a mound of cotton candy] We came up with cotton candy that screams when you bite it! [to Dr. Forrester] May I?

Enjoy!

CCCotton Candy

[as Ernhardt bites down] Ow! That's my head! Owwww!

Well, what do you think of that?

[disgusted] You're toying with God's blueprint; that's what I think!

[of the fact "The Slime People" ended up getting made at all] The real beauty of this movie is that it actually got made. The guy who made it isn't a fool; he just convinced some people that is was worth making. You know, whether it was a good idea, or it could make money, or it satisfied some bizarre urge in the viewing public.

Oh, I see; so it's the gullibility of humans that allows things like this to exist!

I guess you're right.
