Post by bunniefuu »

Today's big game
starts at : .

: ?!
Holy cramolie!

Why have I been
wasting my time in here?

It's about to start
without me!

Yes, yes, yes!

Yee-haw!

All right! Unh!

Yeah!

Hmm.

A special game deserves
a very special chair!

[Grunting]

Ok. All clear.

Ok. Just a bit more this way.
Almost perfect.

Let the game begin!

Announcer: The junior/senior
golf classic

is about to get underway
as Bert fetzer decides

to go with either the -
or the -iron.

Yes. I haven't
missed a thing.

He's going for the .
Back to the .

Ok. Pin placement
is a little to the left on that.

Dee Dee, come back here
with that device!

No! You can't have it!
I want to play with it!

No! You'll break it!
I will not!

Will too!
Will not!

Will too!
Will not!

Hey, kids,
could you, uh--

give it back!
Come and get it!

Dee Dee, stop this!
Give it to me!

Just tell me
what it does!

You are too stupid
to understand!

That's it.

Quiet!

Thanks
to your horseplay,

I'm missing the most
important match
of the year.

Now, take your nonsense
outside.

Dexter: Let's have it!

Dee Dee: No!
It's mine now!

Dee Dee!

Ggrrrr...

Announcer: Oh! No doubt
that sh*t puts him well
in the lead.

Put who in the lead?
Put who in the lead?

Mom: Oh, yeah.
You know, I tried
that very same recipe,

and I got a totally
different result.

I have no idea
what I did wrong.
Can you imagine?

Uh, dear heart,
would you mind
taking that, uh--

would you say that
again, Betty?

I was just
rudely interrupted.

What?

Yeah. So do I,
but I would never--

[louder]
I say, I would never

combine artichokes
and squash...

Announcer, louder:
...Who's just having
the most terrific day.

[Both talking at once]

Honey, do you mind?
I, uh--

shh, shh, shh.

I can't hear.

Well, I can't hear,
either.

Then go away.

No.
Yes.

No.
No.

Yes. What's that?

Oh, that's the funniest
thing I've ever heard.

Ha ha ha! That reminds me
of the time

when I was cleaning
the oven and--
[Door opens and closes]

Betty? Betty,
can you hear me?

[Grunting]

[High voice]
Sure I can, but I've
got to go now.

My voice is sh*t,
and I really couldn't
stand another minute

of your mindless gab.

Huh?

Unh!

See you around
the holidays, Betty.

Looks good.

All's clear.

Now, let's see
some action.

Announcer: This is
a career-making sh*t
for melbridge.

The match rides
on this swing alone.

Hello, father.

I see
you are enjoying

your favorite
sporting event,

and I was thinking
what a fine
opportunity

this would be
for you and I

to spend
some quality time
together.

Well, I guess.

And perhaps
you could also
fill me in

on the strange
phenomenon

you call sports.

Oh...

Comfy?

Let the bonding
begin!

Hey, son, why don't we
just start by watching
the game, huh?

Yeah! Come on,
batter! Swing!

[Golf club hitting ball]

Not a good situation
for the hapless mccracken.

Dad? Dad?

Yeah, son?

Tell me, father,

is the gentleman
with the microphone
the quarterback,

or does he merely
kick the ball?

Announcer: I can't
believe my eyes!

What?
What just happened?

Looked like
a pop fly into
the end zone.

Ohh!

Got to pay
attention, dad.

[Golf club hits ball]

Announcer: This is
the kind of sh*t that can
make or break a player.

[Dexter crunching loudly]

Dexter, I'm afraid
you can't watch
any more of this.

But, dad, why not?

Son, this is the part
of the game that gets...

Well, extremely violent,

and--and you're
too young to watch.

The carnage that follows
is unspeakable.

Run, my son!
And cover your eyes!

Heh heh heh!

Announcer: This is the closest
match I've ever seen.

It's coming right down
to the wire now, folks.

Every stroke counts.
There'll be no more
commercial breaks.

This match at flushing meadows
is just whizzing by,

but you're in luck

because the tension is swelling
with no relief in sight.

He's in the lead now,
but will he hold it?

Whew! That was--huh?

Game show host:
Just one more spin,

and you can pick
your vowel.

Hey, now, that's
not fair. My game!
It's almost--

shh!
Shh!
Shh!

My game!
My--my sp-special chair!

How dare you
do this?!

[Crying loudly]

Honey, could you move?
And will you please wait
till the commercial?

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Announcer: What a match.
Oh, what an incredible...

Hey, thanks again,
Barney.

I sure am glad
you let me watch
the game with you.

I can't tell you
the time I had

trying to watch it
at my house.

Nothing but jabber,
jabber, jabber, jabber,
jabber, jabber, jabber.

Phone talking,
kids going crazy.

Oh, man, I mean,
distractions galore--

just between you and me--
us guys, you know--

and all I wanted
was to watch the game
in my special chair,

but no!

[Dexter and boy laughing]

[Both gasp]

[Laughing]

Hey, what are you nerds
laughing about?

We are enjoying
a scientific
learning program

which is tickling
our intellectual
fancies.

Now, leave us alone!

Let's hear it again.
Ha ha ha!

Hey!

Man on recording:
Chapter --reproduction.

Dee Dee: Oh, my!

Douglas, quick!
Shut off the tape!

I can't believe you nerds
are listening to that.

Yeah. Well, that's
the only way they'll
ever learn about it.

Jeez, like,
how uncool.

Dexter,
you're such a dork.

[Laughter]

You take that back!
Dexter is way cooler

than any of you guys,
let me tell you.

Shh, shh, shh!

I bet none of you
have an interdimensional
portal to the multiverse

like my good buddy here.

[Laughter]

I do not think
they understand, Doug.

Hey!

Look! I'm Dexter!

Give those back!

[Kids all talking at once]

Hey, has anybody
seen my glasses?

Oh, my parents are going
to be mad

at whoever took
my glasses.

Aha!

Oh, my.

Ooh!

Ohh!

Hey, kid. You better
get moving. School's
about to start.

Ohh...ohh...

Ahh!

Well, go on, kid.
Get going.

Hello, Douglas.

Hey, Dexter.
Hey! What happened
to your glasses?

Oh, they got
a little scuffed

back there,
but they're ok.

In fact,
you might even say

they give me
a whole new look.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, oh, I get you!
Say, that's pretty nifty.

So where could I get
a pair? Ha ha ha!

Oh, good one.
Ha ha ha!

But seriously,

let us
make haste.

Our education
awaits.

Hold it right there.
We just want to know

what's up
with those glasses.

Oh, it's
my new look.

Well, we just wanted
to tell you...

We think you're,
like...

Really cool!

Yeah!

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Hmm. Fascinating.

Apparently, your new
style of eyeware

is considered cool
by our female peers.

Indeed. I think
I will experiment
with these a little bit.

[Ring]

Psst. Hey, do you like
my new glasses?

Just checking.

They don't look dorky,
do they?

Oh, no, Dexter.
They're super cool.

Aw, thanks.
I'm glad you think so.

You know, the really
cool thing about them

is when you put them on,
it--it--well, here.
Try them for yourself.

Cool! Super cool!

Oh, wow! These are
so amazing!

Hey, hey!
Give them back.

Just remember,
this is my idea.

Hey, Dexter! Over here!
Hey, good buddy!

Dexter!
Dexter!

[All shouting]

So, Dexter, my man,

tell us again
about the glasses.

Well, it is just

a little experiment

I am trying.

Like, far out.
You reallyare

a regular
fashion wunderkind.

A real cool guy,
besides.

So tell me,
cool guy...

Where'd you get
those glasses?

[All talking at once]

Do you think
my glasses
are cool, too?

Girl: Yeah,
but they're not
as cool as Dexter's.

Ha! I can't believe it.
My brother Dexter

is the coolest kid
in school.

What kind of trick
is this?

It's no trick.

He's conducting
a scientific
experiment.

I don't know. Looks
like the experiment
is conductinghim.

Look at your hand.

That is
pretty cool, huh?

Wow!
Wow!
Wow!

Hello, Douglas.
Long time no see.

Yeah. I haven't seen you
in a while, either.

Nice glasses,
dork. Ha ha ha!

Dexter, is this still
part of the experiment?

Experiment? What are you
talking about?

And, uh, by the way,

the style is tobreak
your glasses.

[Cowboy movie playing
on television]

Hey, Dexter, don't you
think we should
get those fixed?

No way, man.
These are my ticket
to coolsville.

Ha ha! Listen...Man,

I know you think
you came up with
the broken glasses bit,

but back when I was
your age, that was
a fad for a while,

but then
we all just moved on
to the next cool thing.

Oh, don't worry, dad.

I have been calculating
several strategies

to keep up this style
for many years to come.

See? Yesterday
black glasses were cool.

Today red glasses are cool.

Tomorrow...who knows?

Hey, kid,
you need any help?

No, thank you.
No additional assistance
is necessary.

Check out
the casts!

Kids: Oh, wow! Cool!

Bah! That is not cool.

Are you kidding?
That's the coolest!

Hey, hey, people!

The glasses?
Remember these?

Oh, my gosh! Those
are incredible!

Dude! What's up
with the casts?

Well, you generally
receive a surgical
supportive splint

for a fracture
or dislocation
of any ligaments--

or for broken bones,
in layman terms.

Mandark,
your casts...

Are, like,
so cool!

You think my casts
are cool?

Bah! Casts are just a fad.

Broken glasses are uncool.

But a broken heart
is uncooler.

Ahem!

Man on recording:
Chapter --photosynthesis.

Oh, this'll be even cooler
than the last chapter.

Yeah, it will.

[Crunching loudly]

Aah!

Ooh-da-lally.

I better become
a vegetarian.

Ahh! The sweet smell
of electronics.

This shouldn't take long.
Just in and out.

Just a few things,
and I'll be on my way.

Man: Man, can you
believe that my entire
hard drive erased?

Ha ha ha!

These computer-parts stores
really reel in the geeks.

Ha ha ha!

Oh! Unh!

I'm terribly sorry, sir.
I just--

i--i wasn't
paying attention. I--

[gasp]

Incredible. What is it?

Receiving,
transmitting,
decoding.

Receiving,
transmitting,
decoding.

Ok. Potato cake.

Receive and transmit?

An antenna! Wait!

Please come back!

A common mistake

is to load the boll weevil
within the output parameter.

Ooh, now, that's
got to hurt.

What? What?
Wait a minute.

This might sound
ridiculous,

but communication
is expandable

unless your baffle
refractor Dracula
is encoded.

Communication?

He is using
a standard
tone generator

to communicate.

With who?

Since you no doubt
have your own walnuts,

pictures of birds,
butterflies,

brick, brick, brick,
et cetera.

Hmm.

Why stock wheels
when the p-p-power wheel

outperforms the rest?

It's real simple, folks--

we are not
alone.

[Gasp]

Aliens?

Fantastic!

What do they say?

What do they say?

Hey, now where did he go?

Uh, data digit over.
Do you copy? We're
losing you. Over.

We're losing you.
Over.

Help!
I'm breaking up!

[Imitating static]

We lost him.

His signal must be
too weak.

Hey, we could use
my laboratory

to boost his signals,

thereby decoding
the transmitters,

in turn allowing us

to communicate
with the universe!

[Nervous laugh]

Roger that.

Dexter: Just
a little further now.

I think you will be
pleasantly surprised.

Right this way, please.

[Humming]

[Glass breaks]

Oh! Is there a draft
in here?

[Gasp]

Hey! What's going on
around here?

[Snoring]

[Car chase on television]

Ah. Hey.
That's pretty sporty.

Mm-hmm. Ah. Hey.
Mm-hmm.

Ohh!

[Belches]

Here you go, buddy.

Honey?

Don't forget dessert!

Aah!

And that concludes
our tour.

Pretty impressive, eh?

Huh? Oh, no!
Where did he go!

He must have gotten lost
on the tour!

Computer, please locate
my guest immediately!

Computer:
Searching, Dexter.

Stay calm. He is probably
in a very safe place.

Dexter, your guest
has been located.

Oh, thank heavens!

[Gasp]

Computer:
I'm sorry, Dexter.

Dexter: Dee Dee!

Hi, Dexter!

Where is he, Dee Dee?!

Who?

I do not have time
for these games!

Just tell me where
you are hiding him!

He's not hiding.

Where is he, then?

He's right
over there.

[Gasp]

Are you ok? Please excuse
my sister's behavior.

Pbbbbt!

Let us get to the lab

and make sure the receptor
was not damaged.

Dee Dee has this thing

about wrecking
people's inventions.

He told me
it was a hat.

Yes, Dee Dee,
and you are the Jewel

that lights up the night.

Good-bye.

Really?

[Door closes]

Hmm. Hey!
Wait a minute!

Hello down there!
I'm just going to
do the once-over

and make sure nothing
was damaged, ok?

Ok, pal. Here I come.

Hey, that is strange.
These wires are not
even connected.

He must have
been with Dee Dee
longer than I thought.

Oh, well.
Here goes nothing.

[Inhales deeply]

Ah! That should
do it.

Now,
let's get down
to business.

Two unparalleled minds
come together

for the good
of all mankind

to receive
and decode transmissions

not of this world.

Now is the moment
of truth!

Let's make contact!

Aah!

I think
the transducer compliments
the stereoelectric pickle,

and if ever there was
a piece of computer

that deserved to be
described as more than
the sum of its parts,

it's the vehicle
that stands exactly
where the small yucca twig

and counterrevolution
intersect.

Just as the market appears
to have settled down,

the ib-m provides
a multiframe rate time-code
reader and generator,

but what really raises
the level of chicken

is the way all of its parts
come together!

Mm-hmm!

Uh, what happened?

[Gasp]

Hey, where did he go?

Hello?

[Echoing]
Hello, hello,
hello, hello...

Hello.

Enter at your own peril,
past the vaulted door,

where impossible things
may happen

that the world's
never seen before.
