Sheen
Uh, so, Jimmy, how come it takes astronauts days to go to and from the moon, when it only takes us a few minutes?
That's another good question. You see, it all has to do -
[singing over] Good-bye, Moon, I'll see you next June! Call the Milky for us soon, and -
Sheen
CARL! Enough with the songs!
[gasps] Our gold... it's all ashes!
Sheen
That was my grandmother's favorite tooth...and her only one.
The equipment I'd need to make enough gold to replace this stuff would take a ton of money.
Sheen
We could sell our bodies to science.
You have to be dead to do that.
Sheen
Okay, Mr. Negative.
Gentlemen, we have to get jobs.
[While searching around in town for applying for a job, the boys show up at McSpanky's restaurant]
Oh, McSpanky's would be the perfect place to work. We could eat here, see all our friends, plus, what job could be easier?
Sheen
Professional spread-glue-on-your-fingertips-and-pull-it-off consultant? What?!
[annoyingly imitating Skeet] "No human brain can add three things, dude. Only the machine knows the tax, dude."
"Isn't this fun, Jimmy? I wanna be a McSpanky's for the rest of my whole life!"
Sheen
"Give me a cow in an earthquake, a dancing albino in a heart condition, and a baby in a ricksha!"
"Dudes. I'm way impressed."
Sheen
I'm back from the bank! [sees the McSpanky's restaurant rising from the ground] Hey, Jimmy, is the restaurant supposed to be rising off the ground?
Sheen
Bummer.
What's happening, Jimmy?!
Well, the computer heard my dad saying he prefers Taco Shack, and it's off to correct the problem!
Now, Jimmy, I want you to behave yourself at the Wheezers' this weekend.
Don't worry, Mom. Everything will be fine. I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
It'll be just like having a brother who looks nothing like me and has a different last name.
Sheen
[slightly annoyed] Man, you guys are so lucky! I have to stay home and loofah my grandma's cankles.
I can't believe you're camping out in the desert. [snorts] I get slightly phlegmy just thinking about it.
That's what Burning Duck is all about, Wheezer, my man. We're going to let it all hang out, groove to a natural scene, might even toast some marshmallows.
Honey, put your pants on. You can groove when we get to the desert. See you soon, sweetie.
Keep it real, Jimbo. Go with the flow.
Well, Jimmy, let's get you settled in.
Sheen
Bye, guys. Have fun while I'm cankling.
Sheen
Wow, this place is awesome!
: It's nothing, really. Sorry about the heliport, we're having it redone.
Wow, Neutron, this sure beats the heck out of your dinky little clubhouse.
It's not "dinky," it's ergonomic!
Oh, no, no, no, Cindy, I'm sure that Jimmy's clubhouse is state-of-the-art-- primitive art, that is. [Everyone laughs as Jimmy fumes furiously] Thank you so much.
[Jimmy growls in annoyed fury]
Eustace [to Jimmy]: Make ready, Neutron: you're about to face the ultimate triumph in expensive robot technology. Blix!
[Blix lets a small, cat-like robot into the arena]
Sheen
They just don't make crazed, berserk robots like they used to.
People, people! I know what this rock is. Carl, Sheen, show the first slide.
Sheen
[speaking into a megaphone] SLIDE!
Ow, Sheen, I'm right next to you!
[The lights go out and a slideshow begins the rock's history]
Since 1511, there have been reports of rocks with strange symbols falling from the daytime sky. In every case, these rocks were destroyed before scientists had a chance to study them. These are those rocks. Minsk, Russia, 1653-- Rock pulverized by Imperial guards. Reykjavík, Iceland, 1810-- Also crushed. Lima, Peru, 1880-- Rock elected mayor, then overthrown by rebels.
MMan
Well, at least it wasn't crushed.
Then crushed. Butte, Montana, 1957-- Rock made into soup and eaten by prospectors.
[The last photo shows Sheen snorkeling in a bathroom toilet]
Sheen
[screams] Carl!
Ladies and gentlemen, the aliens that sent these message stones are today, giving Earth another chance. I implore you to let me take the rock to my lab for study!
Let's meet those life-forms now! Vandana?
VVandana
[appearing] Thanks, Meldar! They're smart, they're sassy, and they've evolved to a nonskeletal form. Meet the Brains!
VVandana
Next, they've been called the sharpest species in the galaxy. Say hello to the Needleheads!
NNeedleheads
[repeatedly] Mib! Mib! Mib!
Sheen
Oh, man, those voices are gonna get on my nerves!
VVandana
And finally, they're a warmongering species from the Kondracke Belt, give it up for the Gorlocks!
Each player will step forward and place their vote into the giant Head of Truth. First up, Jimmy.
[walks up to the table and votes for Cindy] I tried to be your friend, but I have a planet to save.
[walks up to the table and votes for Jimmy] Sorry, pally. The human race can't afford another slip-up.
[also votes for Jimmy] Bye-bye, big-head.
Sheen
Well, you know what they say, dude. You can fool all the people some other time, but you can't fool the time with the people that the, the… FORGET IT!
I hope that once you get over the betrayal, you'll still come over for cookies.
[Goddard votes for Cindy]
Bolbi not wearing underpants. [votes himself off]
I don't think we're in Retroville anymore.
This is all an illusion! The Brains have placed us under some sort of mass hypnosis.
Sheen
What if they make us act like chickens?!
I don't know. Unless we can break their hold on us, we're completely at the Brains' mercy.
Well, guys, we saved the Earth.
Sheen
And more importantly, we won the car!
This isn't right. We've gotta go back!
Neutron, what are you doing?
I'm reprogramming the auto-pilot. I won't let all those planets be destroyed!
Are you nuts?! But we barely got out of there alive!
[Sheen volunteers for the school chorus]
Sheen
[singing badly] HOME, HOME ON THE RANGE-
Sheen
Eh, pardon?
Thank you. That's all I needed to hear.
Sheen
Well, I can't say I'm surprised. Now, let's talk rehearsal schedule, man. Tuesdays, I have my action figure support so that's no good for me. Mondays…
Oh, dear. I better explain. Um, Sheen, amigo, I'm afraid you won't be joining the chorus.
Sheen
What? You're rejecting me?
Now, now, now, don't take it personally. We needed an alto, and well, you're a… You're a…
You're a terrible singer!
Miss Fowl! You see, Sheen, your voice… Um, how shall I put this?
Your voice scares small children!
Miss Fowl, please! Look, Sheen, as chorus master, I know talent…
And that's what you have: no talent! [Principal Willougby is about to burst] I'm done.
Sheen
Wait a minute. I see what's going on here. You people don't think I'm a very good singer, do you? [Miss Fowl's about to say "Yes" but Principal Willougby covers her lips] Then you have silenced a precious talent! From this point on, I, Sheen, shall never grace the world with song again! [He storms offstage but then rans back to them] But if you guys change your mind, call me anytime.
