13. as the guy who was accidentally shot into space

14. and then f— the hell?

15. Tom servo, you're naked.

16. Naked and beautiful, Joel.

17. The human body in all its many shapes and sizes

18. is a wonder to behold.

19. Today I begin anew.

20. No longer Tom servo, mere robot.

21. I emerge from my metal chrysalis.

22. Tom servo, real live boy.

23. Snips and snails and puppy dog's tails.

24. That's what Tommy's made of.

25. - Yeah, really. - Uh, no, paint actually.

26. Yeah, Tom, you know, I knew this was gonna happen sometime.

27. You're experiencing the Pinocchio syndrome.

28. Oh, nonsense, brother.

29. It has always been my dream to be a real live boy.

30. And now I am that thing.

31. But, Tom, why do you want to be a real live boy?

32. There are billions of real live boys on earth.

33. There's only one Tom servo.

34. I want to run and jump and skin my knees.

35. Uh, you don't have any legs.

36. I want to catch frogs down at the old swimming hole.

37. - Your arms don't work. - I want to experience

38. a world of emotions and feelings.

39. You'll get beat up because you're a freak.

40. - Five seconds to commercial sign.

41. Now I know I'm a real boy.

42. I can hear my heart breaking.

43. - It's okay. It's okay. - Commercial sign now.

44. Sitting here, smiling, watching Tommy grow.

45. Uh, I'm still wet, you know.

46. - Oh. Ooh. - I think you're stuck.

47. Gee, uh, servo, you're gonna have to touch up your skin.

48. I can see that, don't you think I can see that?

49. Here, spit.

50. That's really pink, isn't it?

51. Yeah— oh, Buffy and hildegard are calling.

52. Oh, Joel, the stories I could tell of...

53. Frenzied bachelor parties and exotic dancers

54. jumping out of cakes. Sounds exciting?

55. Sure.

56. But around midnight, there you are.

57. Frustrated and disappointed

58. with a fake cake you can't eat

59. and a dancer named candy who has to leave

60. to drive her baby-sitter home.

61. - What've you got? - Nothing.

62. That's why we've combined dessert

63. and objectifying the human body

64. in one easy cake mix.

65. Cake and shake.

66. A real exotic dancer included.

67. That's right, Clay.

68. Now gluttony and exploitation serves eight.

69. And just think, now even mom, dad, and the kids

70. can enjoy a chippendale dancer

71. at little Jimmy's seventh birthday party.

72. - Oh, Clay? - Hmm?

73. Can I tempt you with some dessert?

74. Oh, frank, this looks wonderful.

75. You've outdone yourself.

76. Just a sliver.

77. Oh, it was nothing.

78. I merely followed the easy-to-read instructions

79. right on the box.

80. And, hey, here's a tip.

81. Just fold the exotic dancer right into the cake.

82. That way, you save a step.

83. You don't have to wait for the cake to finish baking.

84. I'll remember that for my cake

85. for the next bake s— you what?

86. You baked a person in it?

87. An hour at 350?

88. D'oh, start digging, frank!

89. I get the Rose—

90. just dig, Duncan-hineder!

91. Oh, it's beefcake.

92. - Hey. - See, 'cause he's—

93. hush. Anyway, sirs,

94. our invention this week is based

95. on the old American tradition—

96. the junk drawer.

97. Yeah, hey, did you know that Benjamin Franklin

98. invented the junk drawer?

99. And were he alive today,

100. he might've invented the new American tradition,

101. the junk drawer organizer.

102. - Aah. - Finally, there's a place in this world

103. for those strange keys, ketchup packets,

104. that linoleum knife with the point broken off.

105. All those things that, until now,

106. have defied the laws of sequential occurrence

107. in space and time.

108. Yeah, and how many times

109. have you gone rooting through your junk drawer

110. muttering to yourself, "where'd I put that gun?"

111. Well, now there's a place for it.

112. And— and there's a place for round band-aids,

113. and for that handful of gravel that might be agate,

114. and your shoehorn,

115. and those two-inch pieces of string

116. that might come in handy someday.

117. Mm-hmm, hey, there's even a separate compartment

118. for miscellaneous grit and lint.

119. Already built-in.

120. So you don't have to!

121. - Huh? - Huh?

122. What do you think, sirs?

123. We could get into a lot of trouble for this, frank.

124. Oh, Joel, um.

125. Uh, everything's fine. Nothing to see here.

126. Your feature presentation

127. is a film called I accuse my parents.

128. Uh, you figure it out.

129. Enjoy it with the short about truck farming.

130. We're have to answer to the chippendale corporation

137. Truck farmer— the special edition.

138. Includes scenes the studio originally thought

139. too graphic for audiences.

140. Wonder if they sold this film door to door.

141. - Oh, the donner party. - Less than a century ago,

142. our forefathers moved west

143. across the vast and fertile plains

146. Searching for a place to farm.

147. Help US!

148. —Time as romantic and exciting.

149. Most of US think that these people were really free.

150. But they were just stupid.

151. —They were restricted in many ways.

152. Today we take a number of foods for granted—

153. —they ate little but meat and staples.

154. Here's a five-inch nail for dessert. Go nuts.

155. —Meant the end of most fresh vegetables.

156. Their opportunities for a balanced diet

157. disappeared.

158. Instead they ate the yellow snow.

159. —Snow covers the northern part of our country.

160. - People die. —Great truck farming areas

161. supply the constant demand

162. for fresh vegetables.

163. Florida is one of the areas.

164. Even during bitter northern winter,

165. harvesting goes on in Florida.

166. These select few are making three cents a day.

167. Let's take you back to the days when ddt was safe.

168. And in California,

169. in the salinas valley and other areas,

170. lettuce for the salads and sandwiches of a nation

171. is harvested fresh in wintertime.

172. Oh, you know, everything looks so good

173. on this salad bar.

174. Oh heavens yes, everything looks so fresh and delightful.

175. I'm just gonna have a small salad,

177. Oh, where else are people exploited?

178. Why— down on the southern border.

179. —Skilled hands shake bundles

180. of fresh carrots in January.

181. In recent decades, truck farming

182. has become big business.

183. But not for these people.

184. A lot of factors help.

185. But no one can deny

186. the important role of power machinery.

187. Aah! It's killdozer! Clint Walker, no!

188. Here, thousands of acres of rainforest are cleared away.

189. Who cares?

190. Stupid trees. God, I hate 'em.

191. Early tractor pulls. Not that much fun.

192. This is the freestyle competition.

193. Don't see many of these trees anymore.

194. Well, down it goes.

195. The sad thing is this guy doesn't even work for anybody.

196. He's just doing this for kicks.

197. Well, here as anointed by god,

198. man holds dominion over his earth.

199. By hand, the land would've taken

200. weeks of hard labor to clear.

201. - Stick farmers. - But now trees and brush

202. can be cleared and burned in days.

203. - Well, that's cheerful. - And the land

204. readied for the plow.

214. Sorry.

215. Now, duck news. Here's Hugh mcquacken.

216. - Harrowing, isn't it? - D'oh.

217. Harrowing cause— farmer joke.

218. And then planting and fertilizing.

219. Fertilizer, which not only increases the yield

220. but adds to the food value of the vegetable,

221. is added to the soil through one set of hoppers.

222. While the other set of hoppers plants the seed.

223. And remember, be sure to use

224. lots and lots of chemicals for a good crop.

225. Even cultivating is done

226. with the help of modern machinery.

227. In some places,

228. a rotary hoe is used to destroy weeds.

229. You know, I saw that on children of the corn.

230. Most farmers like to listen

231. to Igor stravinsky when they farm.

232. But where mechanical means are dangerous,

243. Yeah, let me harness this thing here—

244. well, I'll be damned! I'm in Mexico.

291. You got a bean in your pocket, I know it.

312. Well, hey, I'm stacking 'em as fast as I can.

313. Carrots are taken to a packing plant

314. where a highly mechanized process

315. of preparation for market begins.

316. Here, they are interrogated.

317. —Organized along factory lines.

318. The carrots are washed first.

319. They're made flavorless, so people will buy steak.

320. When they are topped in the field,

1052. something by johnston and Murphy.

1053. I synthesized animal protein in my lab today.

1054. You know, I'm glad you came over at that.

1055. - Are you really? - No.

1056. Well, if we're gonna be friends,

1057. it'll give US a chance to get better acquainted.

1058. Oh, I feel as though I've known you for years already.

1059. Oh, you do?

1060. Well, suppose you start telling me something about myself.

1061. - All right. - Well, you're hot.

1062. Let's see, when you were ten years old—

1063. oh, now, wait a minute.

1064. That's gonna be a long story.

1065. Suppose we sit the rest of this one out.

1066. Okay.

1067. I took the Liberty of sitting here.

1068. I hope you don't mind.

1069. - Not at all. - Who are you?

1070. Oh, this is Jimmy Wilson.

1071. Boy from my hometown.

1072. I met him today by accident.

1073. This is Mr. Blake, Jimmy. My boss.

1074. How do you do?

1075. I'm glad to know any friend of kitty's.

1076. You gonna be in town long, Mr. Wilson?

1077. - I live here. - In a castle and stuff.

1078. I guess you see quite a change in kitty

1079. since the last time you saw her, huh?

1080. Oh, not so very much.

1081. Of course, her clothes are different.

1082. Yes, I'm sure they are. You see,

1083. she spends a lot more nowadays

1084. then she did back in Iowa.

1085. - Ooh, that's cold. Ouch. - Right, kitty?

1086. Okay, Charlie.

1087. Now, if you'll excuse US—

1088. oh, sure, go right ahead.

1089. Thank you.

1090. I'm waiting for a call from the president,

1091. so I couldn't dance anyway.

1092. So who's the stiff?

1093. Where'd you run into little lord fauntleroy?

1094. In a shoe store.

1095. I went in to buy some shoes, and there he was.

1096. Isn't that a funny coincidence?

1097. Selling shoes, huh?

1098. Hi, I sell shoes.

1099. Seems like a nice kid.

1100. I might be able to help him do better.

1101. Look, Charlie, lay off.

1102. I'm only trying to help him.

1103. I know other people you've helped, and they all—

1104. —end up like when you was a kid.

1105. Just whose welfare are you interested in? His or mine?

1106. Yours, of course.

1107. Okay, see that it stays that way.

1108. I want you to give me a buildup for the kid.

1109. Tell him what a great guy I am.

1110. What a good friend I've been to you.

1111. I might find him useful.

1112. Then I'll throw him away like a paper towel.

1113. In our audience tonight? Tony "big tuna" accardo.

1114. Stand up, Tony.

1115. I went and liberated France while you were dancing.

1116. Yeah, I fixed your chair too. Doesn't squeak anymore.

1117. Well, I ordered for all of US. I hope it's all right.

1118. But, you see, tomorrow's my birthday,

1119. - and I'm celebrating. - Okay, enough with the birthday.

1120. All right. As a matter of fact, we'll make a night out of it.

1121. - What do you say, kitten? - Meow!

1122. Well— fine, I'm for it.

1123. Well, here you are, Jimmy. Happy birthday to you.

1124. - Thank you. - Happy birthday, Jimmy.

1125. So then my mom says to Roosevelt and Churchill,

1126. she says, "what about some kind of lend-lease program?"

1127. Sssso...

1128. Suddenly they're at a hee-haw wrap party.

1129. Oh, they'd better not sing

1130. "achy breaky heart" again.

1131. Jules and Jim.

1132. Welp, we're going to the buffet.

1133. everything satisfactory, Mr. Blake?

1134. Oh, fine. Thanks, Trent.

1135. Say, you haven't forgotten about that package

1136. you left with me?

1137. Well, no. No.

1138. I'll have it picked up in a couple of days.

1139. - Okay. - And Trent?

1140. - I love you. - This party's on the kid.

1141. Thanks.

1142. Say, what're you doing tomorrow?

1143. Or today, I guess.

1144. It must be Sunday morning already.

1145. It is— why? What's on your mind?

1146. Well, I thought with my folks away,

1147. that we could spend my birthday together.

1148. Oh, why not?

1149. I'll tell you Jimmy, you come to my apartment about 12:00,

1150. and I'll fix you an old-fashioned birthday breakfast.

1151. You know, coffee and cigarettes.

1152. Oh, swell. You know, tonight's been great,

1153. only it'd be nicer if Mr. Blake hadn't come along.

1154. You'd ask him, he'd say the same about you.

1155. Don't you like Mr. Blake?

1156. Oh, I guess he's all right, only...

1157. Well, isn't he all right?

1158. Yeah, I guess.

1159. Well, don't you like him?

1160. He's my main squeeze, Jimmy.

1161. —I wouldn't want you to be like him.

1162. Why? What's wrong with him?

1163. Oh, he's a money man. Wants to get rich quick.

1164. Hey, is that bad?

1165. Sometimes.

1166. I think you have a better future

1167. in the shoe business.

1168. How about essay-writing? I'm good at that.

1169. Thank you.

1170. Oh, kitty, Trent's been asking if you'd sing a song.

1171. Why, I'd be glad to, Mr. Trent.

1172. Thanks, Ms. Reed, it'll be a treat for my patrons.

1173. - Excuse me. - How about "love to love you baby"?

1174. So, Jimmy, do you like your kneecaps?

1175. Ladies and gentlemen,

1183. I've never met anyone like her before.

1184. Take it back, take it back!

1216. Gee, you were swell, kitty.

1217. - Thanks, Jimmy. - So, as I was saying, Jimmy.

1218. If you'd like to add to your income sometime,

1219. I might be able to throw a few odd jobs your way.

1220. What kind of odd jobs?

1221. Oh, little things you could do for me.

1222. - After working hours. - Sod farming.

1223. Here's my card, if you're interested.

1224. - Look me up sometime. - Well, thanks. I will.

1231. And a cover.

1232. Do you remember a fourth person sitting here?

1233. Gee, I'm afraid I don't have quite enough cash to cover this.

1234. Oh, they'll take a check.

1235. Oh, will they? Well, have you got a blank check?

1236. - Sure. - How're you fixed for socks and underwear?

1245. Well, let's get going.

1246. Come on.

1248. I want you to go to the bank for me and make a deposit.

1249. - Yes, sir. - And, uh, Jimmy?

1250. - Uh, I love you. - You might put these through.

1251. Maybe they'll be good now.

1252. They bounce back again,

1253. I'm gonna put that Mr. Smith in jail.

1254. Gee, that's quite a coincidence,

1255. 'cause I just wrote a bad check,

1256. and if I had some extra cash, i— oh.

1269. I'd like to deposit some guilt

1270. and withdraw some denial, please?

1271. I'm sorry, you can't deposit this.

1272. Oh.

1273. I'm sorry, you can't

1274. put that in your pocket either.

1275. Nice cuticles.

1276. Sit down. I'm glad you dropped in.

1277. You've been thinking about my suggestion.

1278. Yes, in a way, I have. You see—

1279. and you could use a little cash, is that right?

1280. Yes, there's a friend of mine in trouble,

1281. and I'd like to help him out.

1282. - Well, how much do you want? - About $100.

1283. - Or $72.80. - Well, that's a lot of money, Jimmy.

1284. - Get out, get out! - But I guess I can advance it to you.

1285. When you begin to work for me, why,

1286. you can pay me back.

1287. That'd be swell if you would, Mr. Blake.

1288. I could start working for you any time you say.

1289. Good, you can begin right now.

1290. First thing I want you to do is

1291. to go to the bank and rent a safe deposit box.

1292. At times, there may be some valuable papers

1293. I want you to take care of for me.

1294. - All right, I'll do that. - Do what?-- Oh!

1295. Now, don't be surprised if this job

1296. gets you up at odd hours of the night.

1297. I'll make it worth your while.

1298. Well, maybe I ought to quit the shoe store.

1299. No, there's no need to do that.

1300. You stay at the store until I get you on a full-time job.

1301. If you say so.

1302. Now, tonight, I want you to go to this address.

1303. And pick up a package.

1304. - And whack somebody. - You just show him this,

1305. and he'll know it's okay.

1306. Well, should I bring the package back?

1307. - No— - no, no, no!

1308. —Box, and I'll let you know when I want it.

1309. - All right. - Jimmy.

1310. This'll take care of the rental of the box,

1311. and you can keep the rest of it.

1312. - Thanks. - By the way,

1313. I'd rather you wouldn't say anything

1314. to anyone about working for me.

1315. You know, if your boss found out,

1316. - he might not like it. - I won't.

1317. And when you get through work tomorrow, give me a ring.

1318. - Yes, sir. - Oh, and, uh,

1319. leave your soul with the receptionist.

1320. nope, sorry, honey, I'm eating

1321. all four of my lobsters.

1322. Okay, here you go, Jimmy.

1323. And make sure nobody sees this pound of bacon, see?

1324. I'm taking you downtown, honey.

1325. I'm kidding!

1326. Uh, bu— where should I put my hand?

1327. It's kind of awkward.

1328. Senator Paul Simon.

1329. Hey, you two staying home tonight?

1330. Hah, well, your father's going to the club

1331. to play cards later.

1332. I thought you and I might do something,

1333. but I see you have other plans.

1334. - Oh, I'm sorry— - he's dead!

1335. Why don't you call up one of your gang?

1336. Maybe I will.

1337. Well, goodbye now.

1338. - Bye.

1339. You think he'd ever accuse US?

1340. —Changed these last few weeks. Have you noticed it, Dan?

1341. - Jimmy who? - Yeah, he seems to have grown up overnight.

1342. Well, I don't like it.

1343. What do you suppose he's doing out every night in the week?

1344. For several nights, he didn't come home at all.

1345. Maybe he stayed with a friend.

1346. It's a little late to start asking questions now.

1347. Well, after all, your his father.

1348. You ought to keep an eye on him.

1349. Well, you're his mother.

1350. You stay home once in a while, you might know what he's up to.

1351. The talking corpse, ladies and gentlemen.

1352. —A girlfriend, that's all.

1353. I had when I was his age.

1354. And then I died inside.

1355. —Taking after you.

1356. That's it, there's a six-pack

1357. calling my name.

1358. - Hello, kitty. - Quack, quack, quack.

1359. I brought you a little something.

1360. - Quack quack quack. - Oh, Jimmy.

1361. - Leftover Chinese! - Not another present!

1362. Why, sure. I like buying presents for you.

1363. - It's fun. - But I always have to pay for them.

1364. Jimmy, I don't want you to be offended,

1365. but I've got to ask you something.

1366. Do I have a weird profile?

1367. —Mixed up in anything that isn't quite on the level, are you?

1368. Whatever gave you that idea?

1369. I'm just selling drugs to school kids.

1370. —Except that you have so much more money to spend lately.

1371. - Oh, the mob ties. - Look,

1372. don't you worry about me.

1373. I wouldn't do anything that wasn't

1374. on the right side of the law.

1375. I hope not, Jimmy.

1376. You're so sweet, I wouldn't want you to change.

1377. - Why should I change? - I'll always wear jed clampett's hat.

1378. People do in this town.

1379. - Circle pines'll do that. —You don't, kitty.

1380. Now let me have that tongue of yours.

1381. Say, Eddie Mendez gave me

1382. two tickets for the follies Sunday.

1383. Hey, what do I bid for two tickets to follies? Hey!

1384. —Cancel that like you did our luncheon date today?

1385. Oh, now, look, kitten. Can I help it if I'm busy?

1386. I'm hanged if I can find time

1387. to do the things we've planned.

1388. But business is sure picking up.

1389. - Well, that's good. - You bet, for both of US.

1390. The higher Charlie Blake goes...

1391. - The higher kitty Reed. - You said it.

1392. Well, bye, darling.

1393. Oh, uh, I meant to ask you before.

1394. Have you put Jimmy Wilson to work?

1395. Why, uh, I haven't laid eyes on him— have you seen him?

1396. ♪ liar! Liar!

1397. —You asked me to give you a buildup, remember?

1398. Must've been a swell buildup

1399. you gave him to keep him away like this.

1400. Man, everybody lies in this movie.

1401. —By now, he'd be pounding on your door for a job.

1402. Well, I haven't seen him.

1403. I guess he's pounding on the wrong door.

1404. - You said it. - Hey, you talk about

1405. me giving you a stand-up—

1406. where have you been disappearing to after the show every night?

1407. You sure get out of that dressing room in a hurry.

1408. And I've been missing you.

1409. Well, Charlie, you know the old saying.

1410. Early to bed and early to rise.

1411. - Huh? - That's me. Bye, now. - Goodbye.

1412. I also know about a bird in the hand.

1413. Now, get out of here. "Early to bed and early..."

1414. You're new with Mr. Blake.

1415. How long have you been with him?

1416. A few weeks— I'm not working full-time for him yet.

1417. Mmm, I see.

1418. I'll be with you in a minute.

1419. Uh, note to self. Find out correct time.

1420. Uh, it's my birthday tomorrow, mister.

1421. What is this guy, butcher to the mob?

1422. Here you go. Happy birthday, Jimmy.

1424. You see that Mr. Blake gets this note tonight.

1425. And be sure that you give it to no one but him.

1426. All right, I'll do that.

1427. And this is skag. Be careful with it.

1428. I'll let you out the back door.

1429. Don't tell the Nazis where I am.

1430. Hi, I have an important thing

1431. and some stuff called skag?

1432. What's the idea coming back here?

1433. I told you what to do with that package.

1434. I know you did, Mr. Blake, but Mr. Carlton said

1435. to give you this note. He said it was important.

1436. Is this a caper?

1437. Never should've gone to old country buffet with him.

1438. Let's see, what does it say here?

1439. "Isn't this guy carrying the letter a dink?"

1440. It's all right, Jimmy, you did the right thing.

1441. Better wait out in the other office.

1442. I may have something else for you to do.

1443. Okay, Mr. Blake.

1444. And, uh, do some filing while you're out there.

1508. He was talking from my office.

1509. It was funny. Made me laugh— hah!

1510. So you really fell in love with the kid.

1511. Now, look.

1512. Nobody's gonna take you away from me.

1513. - Nobody. - Not even me, see?

1514. I'll kill me before that happens.

1515. Why... why, Charlie.

1516. You don't really think I fell for that kid, do you?

1517. Why, you asked me to string him along.

1518. Can I help it if he fell for me?

1519. Well, he did win that essay contest.

1520. He's as good as forgotten.

1521. ♪ liar! Liar!

1522. When he gets here, I want you to get rid of him.

1523. - Your way. - Or the highway.

1524. Or would you rather have me do it?

1525. Okay, Charlie.

1526. I'll be happy in my work.

1527. It ought to be a cinch.

1528. - Oh, it's the three hard-boiled eggs she ordered.

1529. I'll be in there listening.

1530. Like I usually am.

1531. Watch out! Aah!

1532. Hey, I thought you were gonna have this stuff dry-cleaned.

1533. Well, aren't I miss popular?

1534. Well, I've joined the black hand. Hi!

1535. —Let's get going. We've only got a few hours.

1536. I have some work to do later on.

1537. I'm not going.

1538. Well, what the— wait a minute!

1539. Hey, are you kidding? Why, over the phone,

1540. you just got through saying we'd go someplace.

1541. I lied.

1542. I know, but after I talked to you,

1543. - I changed my mind. - Guy in the closet.

1544. An old friend of mine called,

1545. - and I'm going out with him. - Guy in the closet.

1546. Hey, you say that so convincingly,

1547. I almost believe it.

1548. Hey, where'd you get these golf clubs?

1549. - Shh! - You can believe it.

1550. Guy in the closet.

1551. - Do you mean it? - Closet.

1552. Of course I mean it.

1553. Hey, I smell Italian.

1554. - Look, wh— - oh, you poor chump.

1555. Courage!

1556. Did you really take me seriously?

1557. Did you think for one minute that I loved you?

1558. That I wanted to marry you?

1559. She's smokin'.

1560. Why could you imagine kitty Reed

1561. cooped up in a little two-by-four cottage

1562. with a string of kids climbing all over her?

1563. Oh, no, not kitty.

1564. I am the angel of death.

1565. The day of reckoning is upon US.

1566. —Jimmy, I thought that for a while

1567. you might go someplace.

1568. But you'll always be a shoe salesman

1569. - at 25 a week. - 18 after taxes!

1570. And, uh, my ambition's a little higher than that.

1571. Well, wait a minute, they're gonna put me

1572. in charge of the sock table!

1573. —And peddle your papers. You annoy me.

1574. Uh, okay.

1575. Good night, Mr. Blake.

1576. Good night, Jimmy— d'oh!

1577. Quack quack quack quack.

1578. Ought to get that tennis racket re-strung.

1579. Honey, I'm home. Hah. Love that.

1580. Are you satisfied, Charlie?

1581. Well, you saved me a lot of trouble, kitten.

1582. Meow.

1583. I'll see you in the morning.

1584. Yeah, thanks for coming by.

1585. If I had parents,

1586. I'd accuse them right now.

1587. I accuse her hair.

1588. Meanwhile, outside of Skokie,

1589. eliot ness and his men continue their vigil.

1590. Well, at least I got a caper to fall back on.

1591. Huh? What now?

1592. How can I get a blowout when I'm just sitting here?

1593. Get going, kid, quick.

1594. - What happened? - Get going.

1595. They stole the bogart!

1596. Ze bogart!

1597. Wait, shouldn't we find out what those shots were?

1598. If anyone was hurt?

1599. I knew that nervous trigger finger of yours

1600. would get US into trouble sooner or later.

1601. - All-American. - It was either him or US.

1602. - What about the kid? - He ought to be here any minute.

1603. And he's ready to scream.

1604. And you'd better do some fancy talking, Blake.

1605. We're gonna have trouble with him.

1606. Just let me handle him.

1607. Why didn't you tell me I was driving a car to a hold-up?

1608. - Oh boy. - I didn't see any reason to tell you, Jimmy.

1609. I never told you about any

1610. of the other jobs you did for me.

1611. What other jobs? What do you mean?

1612. Ring jobs.

1613. You don't think I've been paying you the kind of money I have

1614. just to pick up packages.

1615. If it'd been on the level, I could've gotten a messenger

1616. for a lot less than you've been getting.

1617. I didn't know there was anything crooked about the job.

1618. I don't want any part of it. I'm quitting right now.

1619. - No, you're not! - Give me that tie back.

1620. Nobody ever quits on Charlie Blake.

1621. Oh, he's really in trouble.

1622. If he doesn't want 'em to.

1623. Whatever I've done, I'm not gonna stand for murder.

1624. I'll tell the police. I'll tell them about you.

1625. I'll tell them what you did to me, I'll tell—

1626. aah! It's my birthday tomorrow.

1627. Tell them anything.

1628. You're in this whether you like it or not.

1629. Just as much as if you handled the gun.

1630. You tell the police, and you'll get 20 years.

1631. Free? With no obligation?

1632. What if I tell a notary public?

1633. Huh, that's better.

1634. No sense in getting panicky.

1635. You know what you do?

1636. You go on home and get a good night's rest.

1637. Forget about— tomorrow morning,

1638. go back to the store as if nothing had happened.

1639. And don't worry about getting into a jam.

1640. I have enough influence to pull you out.

1641. Okay, I guess it's all right. Gosh.

1642. You, uh, want some yogurt?

1643. Oh, it's all because of these shoes.

1644. Family circus is really upsetting to him today.

1645. I've gotta control my urges.

1646. Jack Benny program.

1647. It's the feather McGee and Molly show!

1648. Stop mocking me, radio!

1649. No, don't open that door, McGee!

1650. I hate that hal roach music.

1651. You figure that vase is filled with scotch?

1652. - What, Jimmy? - Hello?

1653. Hello, this is Jimmy Wilson. Is kitty there?

1654. - I gotta talk to her. - Just a minute,

1655. and I'll see if she's here.

1656. It's Jimmy Wilson. He wants to talk to you.

1657. The young Vivian Vance looks hopeful.

1658. She leans back.

1659. Tell him I'm not here.

1660. - She says she's not here. - I'm sorry, Jimmy,

1661. - but she's not here. - Thanks.

1662. I wonder who that was in the back— wait a minute!

1663. Hey.

1664. Mmm.

1665. The glow of the essay contest

1666. is starting to wear off.

1667. Mmm.

1668. Ladies and gentlemen, today we are watching

1669. a film called I accuse my parents.

1670. And just to ground everybody,

1671. it's the one where the kid accuses his parents.

1672. But can parents and parents alone

1673. explain mental illness on the scale of young Jimmy's?

1674. - Hmm. - Hmm, gee, that'd be nice.

1675. But, hey, let's try to map out the trail of his psychosis.

1676. Mm-hmm. We'll give Jimmy the benefit of the doubt

1677. and start with the film's hypotenuse

1678. that, at the center of Jimmy's madness,

1679. we will, in fact, find his drunk folks.

1680. Right, drunk folks.

1681. Concerning whom, Jimmy lies.

1682. And that's fine, but these are not

1683. simple, utilitarian lies that satisfy you and me

1684. as we interact on a daily basis.

1685. No, no-no-no-no no.

1686. These are elaborate lies.

1687. Joel, if you will. Elaborate.

1688. Through which Jimmy constructs

1689. a richly cuckoo fantasy world of love.

1690. Then, Jimmy meets a nice young woman.

1691. - Ahh. - Hey. Jim.

1692. Here's someone you might want to confide in.

1693. Truth, Jim.

1694. Truth. Truth. Truth! Truth! Truth!

1695. - Mm-mm. - No. - Not a chance.

1696. It's not gonna happen. Instead...

1697. Jimmy feels the need to...

1698. Denigrate others

1699. while simultaneously attracting others.

1700. Which leads somehow to a life of crime.

1701. And yet he's ignorant that it is crime. Huh.

1702. Related back to the elaborate lies, perhaps, Jim?

1703. And where in god's name

1704. is the connection to our starting point?

1705. - Drunk folks. - Uh-huh.

1706. - Right. - And we shouldn't forget

1707. that Jimmy may be kind of stupid, Joel.

1708. - Right. - Mm-hmm.

1709. Oh, cambot, if you will. Here we go.

1710. Now we've entered Jimmy's subconscious.

1711. - Yuck. - As it spins and twirls

1712. to illustrate today's lesson.

1713. That true Jimmy-scale dementia

1714. is indeed a complex phenomenon.

1715. Cause and effect? Good luck.

1716. Here's, uh, drunk folks.

1717. But that's just a piece of the puzzle.

1718. Hey! There's stupid. Really big.

1719. And yet there's so much more.

1720. Oh— no backbone.

1721. Oh, and an extra unexplained level of denial.

1722. His strange need for mob ties.

1723. Yeah, Jimmy's complicated haircut.

1724. There goes his failure in webelos.

1725. Oh, and original sin. Don't forget that, folks.

1726. So, if you're off your dot yourself—

1727. don't look for simple answers.

1728. Really get inside yourself

1729. and just run around and have a good time.

1730. Believe you US, it can be a whale of a lot of fun.

1731. And, you know what? We got commercial sign.

1732. - Good morning. - Morning. - Morning.

1733. - Mr. Holden. - Yes?

1734. - Morning. - Is there anything I can do for you?

1735. Yes, have you a boy working here

1736. - by the name of Jimmy Wilson? - Good morning.

1737. - Yes. - We'd like to see him.

1738. I'm sorry, he hasn't come in yet.

1739. Most unusual. Jimmy's always on time.

1740. Milk duds?

1741. We got orders to check up on him.

1742. Check up on Jimmy?

1743. - Yeah. - What's he been doing?

1744. That's what we're going to find out.

1745. He's been seen with some pretty shady characters.

1746. Yeah, let's have his address.

1747. - Why, of course. - Let's see— Tuesday good for you?

1748. - No. - How about Sunday?

1749. 465 lindhurst drive.

1750. - Thanks, Mr. Holden. - Sunday it is, then.

1751. I'm afraid your boy won't show up today.

1752. Well, who's going to sell these shoes, then?

1753. Hey, uh, you fellas wanna

1754. reach in to the treasure barrel?

1755. Oh.

1756. Hmm?

1757. There he is!

1758. Officer, officer!

1759. Well, here's our little fugitive.

1760. I'm sorry I'm late, Mr. Holden, but I had some business—

1761. there's two men here asking about you.

1762. - From police headquarters. - Police headquarters?

1763. Well, what did they want to know about me?

1764. They didn't say.

1765. Have they got anything against you, Jimmy?

1766. Well, no, of course not. What could they have against me?

1767. Well, I don't know what you do outside the shop.

1768. They say you've been seen with some pretty shady characters.

1769. - Hmm. - Maybe you'd better go home,

1770. get your folks to take you down to police headquarters.

1771. - Get this thing straightened out.

1772. I don't like police coming here, Jimmy.

1773. - It isn't good for business. - What business?

1774. Well, I don't blame you, Mr. Holden.

1775. I'll go right home and do that.

1776. All right.

1777. I'm sure there must be some mistake.

1778. Two plainclothesmen from police headquarters

1779. have been to the shoe store asking about me.

1780. Hmm, that's pretty quick work. They must've traced the car.

1781. Now, look, you got me into this.

1782. You gotta get me out. You said you would.

1783. Take it easy. I said I would and I will.

1784. —And lay low for the rest of the day.

1785. At 11:00 tonight, meet the boys

1786. - at sixth and Kent street.

1787. - And then what? - I'll have some money for you,

1788. - and they'll slip you out of town. - Then what?

1789. After a few weeks, when it blows over,

1790. - you can come back. - Then what?

1791. Okay, I'll be there.

1792. As long as I talk really fast and do what he says,

1793. I'm gonna be okay.

1794. Life on the lamb.

1795. An affordable vacation.

1796. He's taken to selling his essays

1797. cheap on the street.

1798. Here, now, what are you doing in a cocteau film, boy?

1799. Go home to your mother. That's a good lad.

1800. Well, that was a close one.

1801. Oof.

1802. We're supposed to deprogram you.

1803. - Have you got the stuff? - It's all in here.

1804. Let's get back in here, so nobody can see US.

1805. Oh, that seems reasonable.

1806. Walk back with a couple of nice fellas.

1807. And then all of a sudden, you— whoa!

1808. This is a message from the other kids

1809. in the essay contest, Jimmy.

1810. So I told her that I like playtex— wha?

1811. Huh?

1812. Jimmy's really fitting in with the other gangsters his age.

1813. Hey, wait a minute, somebody's coming.

1814. - Let's get out of here. - Mobsters

1815. are easily scared.

1816. Wait, I forgot to give you the stuff here.

1817. What's a matter, kid? What happened to you?

1818. - I don't know. - You'd better come along with US.

1819. We'll report it to the police.

1820. No, no, fellas, just—

1821. just help me find a cab, will you?

1822. - I wanna go home. - Okay, kid, just as you say.

1823. Alfred on the spot.

1824. Mom? Dad?

1825. I won the "get the crap kicked out of you" contest!

1826. Mom? Dad?

1827. I'm up here, honey, with the dt's!

1828. Could you get the yellow lizard out of the bathroom?

1829. Uh, where's the dexedrine?

1830. Where's that dexedrine?

1831. If knick-knacks ruled the world.

1832. - Meanwhile,

1833. at black panther headquarters.

1834. I'll see. What have you got?

1835. Yyyyes?

1836. Hello. Yes, sir?

1837. Mr. Wilson in? Tell him his son wants him.

1838. Just a minute, I'll see.

1839. Ollie, telephone.

1840. I've never had such luck.

1841. - Murray, use a coaster. —You beat me every hand.

1842. Your boy's on the phone, Mr. Wilson.

1843. - He wants to talk to you. - Tell him I'm not here.

1844. But you are— oh.

1845. - Come on, deal. - Yes, sir.

1846. He says he's not here.

1847. I'm sorry, sir, but your father isn't here.

1848. Well, if he comes in, tell him I called, will you?

1849. Uh, I wonder who that was in the background.

1850. Oh, well. Mom!

1851. I'm just gonna run away!

1852. I got peanut butter. And underwear.

1853. And that's all I need!

1854. Well, I'm gonna run away to Kansas

1855. and become a ventriloquist.

1856. Oh, wait a minute.

1857. Where's my trowel-sized pert shampoo?

1858. Jimmy is suddenly seized

1859. with an essay idea.

1860. Say, that's what happened to all his other moms.

1861. "Problem with mob. On lamb.

1862. Accusingly yours, Jimmy."

1863. "P.s. Hope you had fun

1864. at Jack Taylor's."

1865. Would you comb your hair? That's annoying.

1866. I'll just put this over here with mom's suicide note.

1867. Oh, they'll think it's a cocktail napkin.

1868. I saw some kick-ass parties here.

1869. More powerful than a locomotive!

1870. Auntie em! Auntie em!

1871. - What, is he thinking about trains now? - Uh, yeah.

1872. These trains never stop for you.

1873. Ah, but he's able to...

1874. Pick up a ride with the joad family.

1875. This is the life.

1876. Maybe I'll travel somewhere.

1877. Hey, cafe.

1878. I've heard of this place.

1879. I don't know if I'll find any Thai food

1880. in this old town.

1881. Hey, maybe they'll see me looking dejected

1882. and invite me in.

1883. On top of it all, my area's gone.

1884. Boy, that was good stuff.

1885. I gotta learn to order only one chicken.

1886. Oh, and that whipped cream? Mmm.

1887. One million, two million.

1888. Three million, four million.

1889. 14 billion, 15 billion.

1890. I've decided— I'm gonna do something really stupid.

1891. Um, uh, can I Rob you?

1892. - Cup of coffee. - You bet.

1893. And put the French silk pie in an unmarked bag.

1894. Expecting somebody?

1895. - No. - I didn't know it was drugs!

1896. Uh, do you have any bullets?

1897. How about a hamburger?

1898. It's what's for dinner.

1899. No thanks, I'm not hungry.

1900. If you're broke, it's on the house.

1901. Hey, it's officer tootie.

1902. Plenty of onions, eh?

1903. French fries, and all the trimmings.

1904. I'll trust you. You can pay me anytime you want.

1905. - Ooh ooh. - Okay.

1906. Did someone tell you it was my birthday?

1907. You like my hat? I made it.

1908. Give and take, that's my system.

1909. - Yep. - Share what you've got,

1910. and you'll never want.

1911. I've had a lot of guys come in here broke.

1912. Never sent 'em away hungry.

1913. Got 'em piled out back.

1914. And I don't lose by it either.

1915. They always come back and pay.

1916. Most people are okay.

1917. Except for you, of course.

1918. Here, stab this into your thigh.

1919. You're not gonna hug me, are you?

1920. Better give me that gun, son.

1921. You can't eat with one hand.

1922. Actually, you can, but I'll give you the gun anyway.

1923. Wait a minute, this is an episode of insight.

1924. Yep.

1925. I saw it on your face when you first came in here.

1926. I can read your chakras, too.

1927. —Been around.

1928. - Seen all sorts in my time. - But they don't see me.

1929. You learn things about people in this business.

1930. For instance, they're bipeds.

1931. Mmm, loaded too.

1932. That's dangerous.

1933. Look, can I have my hamburger?

1934. You know, some guys get sore

1935. when you pull a gun on 'em.

1936. And they don't stop to think.

1937. Why, you might've even killed me.

1938. Not meaning it, either.

1939. - Such things happen. - I know.

1940. Better put this away before somebody comes in and sees it.

1941. Would you get me my hamburger?

1942. Okay, I'll keep it for you.

1943. You can have it anytime you want.

1944. At Alice's restaurant.

1945. Funny thing, you dropping in here this way.

1946. - Why? - I've dreamt of your soft features.

1947. —I'd like to have a boy like you to help out here.

1948. - Want a job? - Sure, I want a job.

1949. You ever worked as a boy before?

1950. —Your food and lodgings.

1951. I got a shack here in back of the restaurant.

1952. - Tain't much— - in fact, it sucks.

1953. —Comfortable enough.

1954. Radio, some flowers in the garden, and the dog.

1955. - And me. - What do you say?

1956. Give me my gun back.

1957. —An awful chance, aren't you?

1958. I mean, offering me a job this way.

1959. Without knowing anything about me?

1960. You see, before i—

1961. I gotta tell you, though,

1962. there's one condition attached to it.

1963. You have to go to church with me every Sunday morning.

1964. Church?

1965. - That's right. - Forget it!

1966. —Week, I work for myself.

1967. On the seventh, I work for the church.

1968. I'm an Usher.

1969. It wouldn't look right, you living in my house

1970. and not going to church.

1971. Of course, that's only an hour on Sunday mornings.

1972. In the afternoons, on fine days,

1973. - we could go fishing. - Ahh.

1974. Gee, that sounds swell.

1975. Oh, and no mob ties.

1976. You're learning fast.

1977. I've entered the twilight zone.

1978. How do you like my swingin' church, son?

1979. Michelle pfeiffer in the fabulous baker boys.

1980. He's in Kansas, flipping burgers.

1981. it's an air filter piano.

1982. oh, she's a regular koko Taylor. Cha-cha.

1983. Or irregular.

1984. And now she's got a table centerpiece on her head.

1985. now, let's see, I've ordered the death

1986. of ten, no, twelve people today.

1987. Pretty good day.

1988. The audience is frankly stunned.

1989. ♪ where can you be?

1990. "Where can you be."

1991. Last call, ladies and gentlemen.

1992. Last call.

1993. You were swell in that, kitten.

1994. - Thanks.

1995. Still thinking about Jimmy, huh?

1996. What makes you think that?

1997. Oh, maybe the way you sang that song.

1998. Oh, now, look, kitten, I know you've been—

1999. - meow. —Searching for that kid for two months.

2000. Why don't you give it up?

2001. He's probably a thousand miles from here.

2002. I'll tell you what we'll do.

2003. When you get through tonight, we'll go out

2004. and paint the town. You need some recreation.

2005. I'll kill somebody for you. Who do you want killed?

2006. Okay, Charlie.

2007. Ho, what a caboose. Hoo-hah.

2008. Son, it's been two months,

2009. and you haven't touched your hamburger.

2010. Sir, I just don't understand the holy spirit.

2011. Is it a bird?

2012. What's the matter? Not hungry?

2013. How come i'm the only customer?

2014. Something's bothering you.

2015. - What is it? Homesick? - Uhh.

2016. - No. - I found a toenail in my hamburger.

2017. I thought you liked it here pretty well.

2018. Seem to be settling down.

2019. I do like it, al. It's not that.

2020. In fact, it's the only time I've ever really been happy.

2021. But I want a salad. Is that asking too much?

2022. Spill it, son, you can tell me.

2023. Well, it's— it's just that I've been

2024. thinking things over, that's all.

2025. - And I want new curtains. - You wanna go back

2026. and straighten yourself out?

2027. Square accounts? Take the load off your mind?

2028. Yeah, I guess that's it.

2029. Bring your trousers in for dry-cleaning?

2030. Find the courage to do it.

2031. Change that old underwear?

2032. Would you help me, al?

2033. And don't mention god.

2034. I've been waiting to hear you say that, son.

2035. So I prepared a song.

2036. We'll go back and face it together.

2037. After they hear your story,

2038. I'm positive they'll give you a break.

2039. Don't worry.

2040. Ah, gee, that's swell.

2041. Well, I feel better already.

2042. Now tuck in to that beef.

2043. You see, miss Reed, I couldn't let Jimmy give himself up

2044. unless he'd seen you first.

2045. - Okay. Let's go. - And I wanted to see you too, Jimmy.

2046. To explain and tell you the truth—

2047. - I never wore the shoes. - Blake was in

2048. the other room that night, listening.

2049. I had to say what I did, or he'd've killed you.

2050. - Huh. - They tried to the night they beat you up.

2051. And, then, the things you said weren't true.

2052. Of course they weren't true.

2053. Except for about your lousy shoe career.

2054. Oh, Jimmy, Blake's the cause

2055. of all your trouble and mine, too.

2056. If he finds out you're here, he'll kill US both.

2057. No, he won't, because he's going to the police station with me.

2058. You and al can call the cops and follow US.

2059. Jimmy, wait! Jimmy!

2060. Quack, quack, quack quack.

2061. Again, proving just how stupid he is.

2062. So, how about a little sugar for happy chef over here?

2063. Organized crime, please hold.

2064. Organized crime, please hold— sir?

2065. Let me guess. It's your birthday.

2066. - Hello, Jimmy. - How's your hat?

2067. What brings you to see me?

2068. Not in trouble again, are you?

2069. No, but you are.

2070. I'm giving myself up to the police,

2071. and you're coming with me.

2072. You're taking a lot for granted, aren't you?

2073. Maybe I am.

2074. But you're gonna tell everything that's happened between US.

2075. - And if I don't? - You'll kill me?

2076. The police are on their way here to see that you do.

2077. Now, let's see, did I call them? right.

2078. Okay, Jimmy.

2079. About time I went on the straight and narr— hi-keeba!

2080. Well, that's a weird position.

2081. They're really going to town in there.

2082. Hey, does anyone have an appointment?

2083. His heart just exploded.

2084. Well, so much for the whole

2085. "he's coming with me" scenario.

2086. Uh, I accuse my parents.

2087. I tried to take the gun away from him.

2088. - But it went off. - Huh?

2089. Oh, I know I've lied. I've cheated.

2090. - I've done a lot of things that I shouldn't have done. - And more.

2091. But maybe I wouldn't have started lying to my schoolmates

2092. if I hadn't been ashamed of my home life.

2093. If I hadn't been ashamed that my parents were—

2094. - were denying— - this is wild.

2095. —The love and protection that a boy needs.

2096. The guidance that sets him straight.

2097. Maybe they should've sworn him in.

2098. And that's why...

2099. I accuse my parents.

2100. Aah. Oh.

2101. Is your hat flask empty yet?

2102. That court reporter is dreamy.

2103. Seeing as it's your birthday, we'll let you go.

2104. - James Wilson— - you dummy.

2105. Your story is supported by much of the evidence in this case.

2106. And I think indicates clearly that you are not guilty

2107. of the killing of Charles Blake.

2108. Thanks! Well, bye.

2109. —Count I find you not guilty.

2110. Huh— oh. Oh, "not" guilty!

2111. - Oh. - On the remaining counts

2112. of having aided and abetted

2113. in the transportation and concealment

2114. of stolen property,

2115. - uh-oh. - I find you guilty

2116. and sentence you to five years in state prison.

2117. Hey, my dad went there.

2118. That sentence is hereby suspended.

2119. And you are placed on probation for two years.

2120. - Thank god I'm white! - You are to remain in

2121. the custody of your parents until you are 21.

2122. During which time I hope

2123. that you will justify the confidence

2124. - I am placing in you. - Hah!

2125. I will, your honor.

2126. Oh, let's go to Jack Taylor's and celebrate.

2127. - Jimmy! - Wait, wait,

2128. he has to talk to Doug llewelyn first.

2129. He accused US.

2130. Why don't you just do it on the bench?

2131. As for you, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson.

2132. You are not on trial here.

2133. But you have seen the tragedy brought about

2134. by the neglect your boy suffered.

2135. You will roast in hell.

2136. —The only parents guilty of such neglect.

2137. - I speak to parents everywhere— - message coming in!

2138. - There it is. - In the pursuit of your own

2139. —own pleasures and occupations,

2140. you neglect your children.

2141. Realize now before it is too late.

2142. - Buy bonds. - This might have been your boy.

2143. Not that your boy would be

2144. quite so thick-headed as Jimmy.

2145. I accuse my parents

2146. brought to you by Boone's farm.

2147. The makers of this film also accuse Hitler

2148. and tojo and Mussolini!

2149. We accuse them all. Soon we'll accuse Stalin.

2150. Seriously, Joel, who would you accuse?

2151. Oh, I don't really...

2152. Okay, as we move into the home stretch,

2153. I thought it'd be nice to read a letter.

2154. So...

2155. Uh, hi, Tom. Hi, crow.

2156. Just getting ready to read a letter.

2157. Oh, no thank you, that's okay.

2158. All we'd like is just a cup of coffee.

2159. Well, I'll just get going on this letter, then.

2160. Hamburgers.

2161. No, no thanks. We're... not hungry?

2162. Oh, I get it. It's like in the movie.

2163. How would you boys like a hamburger?

2164. Like that?

2165. Finally, what took you so long?

2166. What a maroon.

2167. Now.

2168. Now what?

2169. - No, no, no.

2170. You stupid, stupid man.

2171. Now, you present US

2172. with a big, beefy char-broiled hamburger "sammich"

2173. and a French-fried potatoes garnish like in the movie.

2174. Uh, all I got is this postcard.

2175. D'oh. Crow, you talk to him.

2176. You were supposed to get US

2177. a char-broiled hamburger sandwich

2178. like in the movie.

2179. What is happening to this family?

2180. Come on, honey. Honey, honey.

2181. There must be a pie cooling in the ship someplace.

2182. - A pie? - It's just a movie, guys.

2183. Jeez.

2184. Anyway.

2185. Thought we could read this letter now.

2186. Um, this says,

2187. "for rent, the barco rammer."

2188. And it's from Peter Spears.

2189. And on the back here—

2190. let's put that on still store in the back.

2191. It says, "the barco rammer.

2192. "Indisputably the finest.

2193. "It will ram, it will pound, it will press.

2194. It will do what you want it to do."

2195. And then he humorously writes,

2196. "the perfect date for crow and Tom."

2197. Which I thought was pretty... funny?

2198. I accuse you, Joel.

2199. Now, carefully.

2200. Hand over the hamburger sandwich.

2201. Ahh.

2202. Don't let him forget the French-fried

2203. - potatoes garnish. - Right.

2204. Joel, you magnificent bastard! I read your menu!

2205. Come on, we gotta beat mighty messina, maggot!

2206. Aah.

2207. Uh, what do you think, sirs?

2208. Uh, sorry, Joel. Didn't catch that.

2209. We, uh, came this close to losing...

2210. - Rodney. - Right, right.

2211. Almost lost Rodney.

2212. Is this enough, doctor f?

2213. No way, frank. There's plenty more frosting to shovel.

2214. Oh, just go push the button, you freaked-out maniac.

2215. Uh, look, Rodney.

2216. I'm sorry this whole thing got out of hand.

2217. I'd like to make it worth your while.

2218. Oh, no, that's— that's all right.

2219. That— you've done enough.

2220. Well, what's so funny?

2221. This has been a presentation

2222. from comedy central.
