MMike

Which is more correct to say, "Who are you kidding?" or "Whom are you kidding?"

TTim

Well, most people say, "Who are you kidding?" but it's really more correct to say "Whom are you kidding?"

[Later...]

TTim

Well, Sarah, I was wondering, um...

SSarah

Spit it out.

TTim

Well, you'll only say no.

SSarah

Not necessarily.

TTim

Yes you will. You'll say no.

SSarah

Try me.

TTim

Promise you won't say no.

SSarah

Okay, I may regret this, but I promise I won't say no.

TTim

Sarah, will you go to the dance with me?

SSarah

Uh... whom are you kidding? [giggles]

S1 E5 Episode Five
View quote →

As you may have guessed this week's show is about drugs. Except we can't really make it about drugs or we'd get taken off the air. 'You can't do that on television.' Anyway. The idea that anyone would want to push a custard pie in their own face is just about as stupid as the idea that anyone would want to harm their bodies with dangereous and additive drugs, I mean custard pies. Sure they're kinda fun, but I don't need them. I mean I'm not addicted to them or anything! Excuse me.

[Walks off stage to a table of custard pies]

You don't have to follow me with that camera. I finished the introduction. Can't a girl get any pies in privacy....any privacy for pies? I don't need them...

[In walk 3 other cast members. Their faces are covered with custard pie remnants]

Listen man, you gotta splat pies sometime.

No, Kevin, I don't gotta do nothing.

MMike

It's good for you man, gives you a nice sticky feeling on your face.

It's not bad for you Christine. You won't get addicted or anything.

[Kevin splats a pie in his face]

I just don't understand the point. You spend all your money on pies. You mess yourself up. Your clothes...your school work suffers... You get so sticky you can't even sleep at night.

Listen sister, don't knock it til you try it.

Well I'm not going to try it. I think you guys are all deplorable.

[Christine walks off leaving the remaing 3 with the pies on the table]

MMike

Waste not. Want not.

Right on.

[The rest remain and continue to splat pies in their faces repeatedly]

Mike, pretty soon the splat you get from pies just won't be enough, and then you'll move on to bigger things - like green slime!

MMike

Don't be stupid, Christine. I won't go for that stuff. Besides, it's dangerous.

Don't lie to me, Mike! You're already splooshing slime, aren't you?

MMike

No, of course not! ... How did you know?

(examining Mike's T-shirt) Oh, I can tell the signs. Green stains don't wash out as easy as pie. HA! Get it? As "easy as pie"! ... Oh, sorry - serious show. Go ahead, be ashamed.

MMike

Oh Christine, I'm so ashamed. I gotta sploosh now. You don't have to watch if you don't want to.

Mike, DON'T!

MMike

I gotta! I gotta! Right now!

No! Mike! Ohh!

(Mike dumps a bucket of green slime over his head.)

MMike

(shivering) Oh, I can feel it running all over me... slithering down the back of my neck and slopping through my shirt... ohhhhhh...

You're disgusting!

MMike

Oh Christine, help me, please... (reaches out to hug Christine)

(recoiling) NO! UGH!!!!!!!

[Opposite sketch]

SMr. Shidtler

Michael Lyon, did I see you cheating just now?

MMike

No, sir.

SMr. Shidtler

Why not? You know the answers?

MMike

No, sir.

SMr. Shidtler

Oh. Well, wanna look at mine?

MMike

Did you see my picture in the paper yesterday, sir? I'm carrier of the week.

I never read the newspaper, son.

MMike

That's what everyone says on my route. No one ever reads their papers anymore.

That's right, everyone gets their news from the teletext on TV.

MMike

Then why do you all still get a newspaper?

Cause we haven't found any way to wrap up kitty litter in a television set.
