[Pearl is holding a pledge drive. Servo is trying to call in, but Mike is holding Servo's arm, stretching out the spring.]
Gimme! Come on, there's still much more to tote!
Let go of it, man!
Oh sure, Mike. Go watch your Websters, and your Facts of Lifeses, and your Who's The Bossesesses!
[Movie Sign goes off]
We got movie sign! [Mike lets go of Servo's hand, sending him flying off screen]
[The opening credits and movie's theme begin over an image of Raul Julia's head inside a golden electronic cube]
This lovely Raul Julia pendant, available only on the Home Shopping Network.
It's a Raulbik's Cube!
Heh heh guys, see, I thought that he was Puerto Rican, I didn't know that he was...
Oh no, don't say it!
...Cube-in!
Ahhh.
[The cube begins to fade away]
Raul, you come right back and be in this bad movie, young man!
But I'm signed to play Archbishop Romero!
[The movie's theme plays]
And now, the news.
[New York City PBS affiliate WNET is credited]
That's the New York Public TV station! What, did Pearl accidentally send us "MacNeil-Lehrer Report"?
[Title card is shown]
[with monotone sarcasm] Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. That is funny.
Wanda Cannon? Now that's a porno name if I ever head one! Not that I've ever heard one... You know, I don't subscribe to lots of publications or anything.
[The gray-haired and fat head of NoviCorp is giving a speech during the opening credits.]
Wow. TV's Frank!
Wow. Frank's really come up in the world.
Still, this is easier than reading "Wired" magazine.
[Over a shot of Fingal's workplace]
SAT farms of the future!
[Explaining Fingal's problem, secretly watching movies doing work]
He was working in the data flow center of NoviCorp as a processor third class. He had a terrible job: monitoring routine data output on global climate control.
[The Warner Brothers logo appears on Fingal's screen.]
And its effect on Bugs Bunny.
. . .
Man, never show a good movie in the middle of your crappy movie.
. . .
And he'd been doing it for a few weeks before they caught him doing it.
Data entrying with no pants.
. . .
[Fingal gets caught.]
We now return to Billy Madison.
[Fingal has been sent to therapy.]
[on the therapist] It's Merv Griffin!
Ask about his mother.
Ask if she wears Army boots.
So againg lesbian nuns run the fututre?
[A shuttle passenger dashes empoverished Fingal's hopes of "doppling" into a stallion.]
I got 47 credits. What kind of a dopple do you think that buys?
An anteater... maybe.
Whoa, huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere!
[At Nirvana Village, workers pass by Fingal with "doppling" people on a tray.]
Oh, look. Must be a Jack-In-The-Box in the food court.
[A boy looks at routing tags while the teacher is explaining what the colors mean.]
And blue, like this?
Well, that's rather unusual. We can talk about it later.
Is it sexy?
We'll talk about it later! Now come along, the class is waiting in the doppling room.
[The boy secretly switches a blue tag with a orange tag before leaving.]
[chuckling] The littlest sexual deviant.
. . .
[Later, the boy switches Fingal's green routing tag with the blue one.]
There's your precious Canadian healthcare system at work. [N]
