01x11 - Nightmare On Eerie Street

[bunniefuu]

I do solemnly swear that everything

I am about to tell you is true.

A spool of weirdness from

another dimension turned my

hometown into the center of

weirdness for the entire universe.

Don't believe me? Just watch.

Stop it! Stop it!

On wild nights with evil things

around there screaming in the dark,

I like to think my family

is safe asleep in bed.

They just don't understand

how strange it gets out there.

No!

I wonder if that is.

No, no, turn off the lights and I go away.

Oh, Mitchell.

No, no, no.

Don't you hear me? There's not even human.

Mitchell, stand away from the door.

Oh, but that's an order.

Hello?

To Everett and Wise, we

must think we're terribly rude.

How's it going?

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

This is how I'm bringing you to the house!

Mr. Paranoia's seeing things again.

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

What?

It's your problem.

Say so, very good concern.

Ah!

You know, Mitchell, if

something's troubling you,

you can always come to us.

Tommy's troubled me. They're everywhere!

What can you do?

Nightmares are pretty

strange at the best of times,

but in earring, they can leak

right off the weirdness scale.

I've been having some

pretty intense dreams.

Lately, they were

getting a whole lot worse.

I don't know.

Oh, that's better.

I haven't been able to

sleep very well lately.

I've been having the strangest dreams.

Like what?

Well, I dreamt I was lecturing

my chemistry 101 class,

and suddenly I realized it was stark naked.

Yeah, everybody was laughing at me.

All 172 of them.

Well, I dreamt. I flicked the

wrong switch at the nuclear plant.

I melted down everything within 100 miles.

Oops.

That is nothing.

I dreamt I was wearing my

new dress on a blind date,

and then I opened the

door, and my date was

Who?

A zombie?

Worse.

It was awful.

Look, I don't want to talk about it.

Hey.

Oh.

There's that sand again.

Don't you think it's strange that we're

all dreaming our worst nightmares?

No.

As usual, my family could be

counted on to miss the obvious.

But something was

rotten in the dreams of Erie,

and it was up to Stanley

and me to find out what.

Then on Tuesday, I applied for a

job color-coding brown shoelaces.

At two o'clock.

Tuesday, two. That's how I remember it.

What?

What?

More coffee.

I wore my gray suit with depleted pants.

Not my other gray suit.

It doesn't have plates.

Of course, I also have a Navy blue suit.

But Navy blue is too

flashy, don't you think?

When you're applying for the job of

a color coder for brown shoelaces.

You too?

I'm so tired.

I'm afraid to go to sleep.

I mean, last night, I dreamt.

No, I'll forget it.

What, tell me, I dreamt

I was going on a date,

and on this lame-o suit and

carrying a bouquet of roses.

Smell like my grandmother's bath salts.

You poor guy.

It gets worse.

The date was with.

I can't tell you.

Yes.

Okay.

What's going on?

Wow.

Look at the tweeters on those.

What do you think, fellas?

W-Y-R-D's broadcasting live

all week from the world of stuff.

W-Y-D, weird radio.

Yeah, baby. Good morning, Eren.

People this city, it's worth a fortune.

Who's he?

Oh, that's the night guy.

He calls himself the Sandman.

Looks like a weirdo.

Yeah. Something out of a nightmare.

You have nightmares, too?

Night after night.

My dreams are filled

with indescribable horrors.

The frogman, a sheep, and a

Don't make me tell you more.

I won't.

I tell you, I can't risk

going to sleep at night.

They say nightmares can k*ll you.

If you die during your dream,

you never wake up again.

That can't be true.

You really want to find out for sure?

Mr. Crawford.

Don't miss.

Oh, no.

The most boring man in Erie.

He's been driving me nuts.

He's been hanging around

here every day since he

the past fact you laid him off.

I couldn't help overhearing

your fascinating conversation.

And I wanted to tell you about my dream.

I was waiting for a bus.

I waited, and I waited.

But the bus never came.

That's it.

There was a bench.

But I didn't sit on it.

What's this?

Maybe the nightmare left it behind.

He is the Sandman, isn't he?

Crawford was right.

It was getting dangerous to sleep.

I decided to stay awake that night.

I couldn't stop my family from sleeping,

but at least I could be there

to make sure they woke up.

We'll do hourly checks

on Mum, Dad, and Carrie.

They look at all scared.

Wake them up as fast as you can.

I can barely keep my eyes open.

It's not even midnight.

I'll need for that, Stanley.

I'll take the first watch where

you get a couple minutes' arrest.

I'm setting the bucket for 1 A.M.

At worst, we'll be out for an hour.

I better go to the bathroom.

I had three triple-strength hot chocolates

before I came to keep me awake.

Whoa!

It's midnight, sleeping, beauties,

and the Sandman's here

to walk to him to dream.

And where the Sandman walks you children,

you will go.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Wonderful sleep.

You'll sleep tonight, children.

You'll sleep tonight and never wake up.

This is Sandman my children.

Coming to you from Dream Central,

or should I say?

Night, Mecetro.

I'm so sorry.

Very.

The sequence of events began

as a dream's butterfly in Budapest.

Could cause a tidal

wave to obliterate Tokyo.

Just like that.

Hey, wake.

Hey, stay awake.

Sleep.

Coming.

Go!

Mitchell, this is beyond a joke.

Stand aside, young man.

I'll do it.

It was bad enough

saving my family from Erie.

Now I had to save myself.

From them.

What's wrong with you people?

For thousands of years

you were perfectly happy to

trot off to your beds

when the sun went down.

Of course it wasn't

much else for you to do.

But then, long came the electric light.

And then, radio.

And then, the most

evil invention of them all.

Television.

Calm down.

It was just late night talk shows.

And then, it was the late talk show.

And then, infomercials.

The psychic hotline.

Are you people nuts?

Don't you sleep anymore?

Well, you sleep tonight, my children.

You'll sleep.

And never wake up.

Squeeze your mind and shut.

Find children and bid farewell.

Go!

You are about to become silly!

Go away, go away, go.

Prominent citizens of Dreamland.

You're about to be out of the way.

And I stand there for

the minutes of losing.

What's going on?

DJ is doing something weird to our dreams.

We've gotta get down the world and stop.

No, Mitchell, it's a pretty

weird I'm dreaming or.

Past is falling apart. Oh,

actually I'm dream. You're

just a big man of my imagination

long for the ride. Uh-oh.

Hey, it's just a dream.

Yeah, what's our real

zombie? I can't really

hurt us. No, I know that.

You know that I don't think they know that.

Hi, Mr. Thomas zombie from

the word zachie, which means

dead walking although. I'm

not so much walking as shuffling

Even a boring zombie. Yeah,

I won't I have an out of good

night's sleep for 50 years Do

you have any idea how that feels?

50 years of vicious little parakeets.

Just nivelling on my

nerves playing chopsticks.

Tonight everyone goes

to sleep at the same

time and everyone

sleeps forever and finally.

The sandman will catch up on his Z zand.

No one.

Will stop him.

Wonder what he did with crop.

Think I know I.

Think you should know that

Stanley and me aren't really

here. He's just a dream. I'm just along

for the ride I know whose dream this is.

What do you think created it you

tell me that you're sandman the

guy who sprinkles sleep dust

and sets a sailing off to land a nod.

There is no nod They parceled it off

and sold it for beachfront condominiums

Brace yourself boy.

This dream is about to become a whole lot.

Nestor.

Why are you doing this

because I'm in a very bad mood.

You would be too if you

hadn't slept for 50 years.

You help me, huh? That's rich.

What have you got to lose?

This better be good, right?

You're getting sleepier and sleepier.

Your eyelids are growing very heavy.

You're falling into a deep deep trance

Your mind is spinning around

and around and around like a watch.

around and around and around and around

You're making me nauseous And good night.

Clothes your sleepy eyes tight

and you're still making me nauseous.

Good night faucet. Good night sink.

Good night water that we drink.

Anything Nada.

Slower not a yarn not even a droopy eyelid.

I don't get it. That's it.

You had your chance and you failed.

People are very say your prayers.

You're about to sleep the big.

Maybe in a hundred years if I get up in

a good mood. I just might wake you all

Cut it out.

Oh, you know, it's wine wine wine.

Well, I wouldn't say wine.

I sure would.

Like it or not. You're a public servant

Your job is to help

people go to sleep at their

convenience not your own.

I can't work around the clock

Then delegate higher assistance get

computers bringing new technologies

even Santa's got his elves and I've got

just the guy for you See you right there.

Do you ever run into the tooth fairy.

Oh.

Once in a while.

She stiffed me on a molar when I was eight

gave me a nickel instead of a silver dollar

What I'm not saying she

did it on purpose. Here he is.

You're new assistant allow

me to present my resume.

Willing to travel mm-hmm

likes shift work love it.

It's familiar with a snooze

program for windows intimately

that's very impressive, but

you make people sleep Big time.

Tell them about the bench. Oh, I've

known several fine benches in my day

The wooden bench in front of the hardware

store is a particular favorite of mine

Although there are some dangers

associated with wooden benches

my sister sat down beside

me once and got a sliver in her.

Hand and on the second

finger from the end and it was the

sister with the gamey leg not

the one who lost her kidney.

Higher higher that man. Oh, thank you.

You won't regret it because some have but.

Still you wait, I think so.

Listen hear that nothing.

The sand man's off the air. All right. Yes.

Let's go.

Sleeping habits are very interesting.

Some people can't sleep on a plane.

But I don't find any cover

at all. I think Mr. Tumis

is gonna enjoy his new

job a lot more. Yeah.

He's right. He's not scary at all.

Maybe he never was I.

Guess every dream good or

bad has a kernel of truth in it

I had to face the fact

that I couldn't protect

my family from all

the weirdness up there

But on a good day, I could take

on most of it good morning here.

This is Mitchell Taylor coming

alive from the world of stuff

I'm here with Stan the

man a true legend in his own

mind tell me Stan how

you've been sleeping lately

Well, not great, Mitch, but I

expect the situation to improve

thanks to a friend the forecast

is sweet dreams all the way

You harden folks to save the dream

so why not stand bed today and catch up

on some sleep you hear that I hereby

declare all businesses and schools.

Close everybody gets the day

off of course an eerie no matter

how careful you are something

weird always slips through.

You.
