1. Not again.
Copy !req
2. This is the third
time this morning.
Copy !req
3. Whew.
Copy !req
4. Hello.
Copy !req
5. Somebody call for a
refrigerator repair?
Copy !req
6. In here.
Copy !req
7. Hello there, young lady.
Copy !req
8. Is your mommy home?
Copy !req
9. This isn't my home.
Copy !req
10. It's my lab.
Copy !req
11. And my mommy didn't call you.
Copy !req
12. I did.
Copy !req
13. Well, aren't we all grown up?
Copy !req
14. You must be Darla Gugenheek.
Copy !req
15. Please.
Copy !req
16. My friends call me the Geek.
Copy !req
17. Ah, the Cool Spot Super 6.
Copy !req
18. Dandy of a unit.
Copy !req
19. What seems to be the problem?
Copy !req
20. Well, for starters,
it's possessed
Copy !req
21. by some unearthly presence,
it sneaks up behind me a lot,
Copy !req
22. and it doesn't
keep my soda cold.
Copy !req
23. Sounds like a power surge.
Copy !req
24. I'll have her fixed in a jiffy.
Copy !req
25. Right.
Copy !req
26. That's what the last
two repair guys said.
Copy !req
27. No!
Copy !req
28. Darn you.
Copy !req
29. Darn you all to —
Copy !req
30. What, another one?
Copy !req
31. Well, this has
just gone too far.
Copy !req
32. Computer.
Working.
Copy !req
33. Put out an urgent
call to Sam and Max.
Copy !req
34. Who?
Copy !req
35. Sam and Max.
Copy !req
36. Sam and Max.
Copy !req
37. Sam and Max.
Copy !req
38. Sam and Max.
Copy !req
39. Sam and Max: Freelance Police.
Copy !req
40. Last time
on Sam and Max:
Copy !req
41. Boy, those were fun
times, he said wistfully.
Copy !req
42. You can say
that again, Max.
Copy !req
43. But like all dry
spells and peach pits,
Copy !req
44. this too shall pass.
Copy !req
45. I sure hope so, Sam.
Copy !req
46. It's been at least five minutes
since my last brush with death,
Copy !req
47. and I'm getting
light in the head.
Copy !req
48. Try eating a cookie.
Copy !req
49. - I got it!
Copy !req
50. I got it!
Copy !req
51. Yes, uh huh.
Copy !req
52. 10-4.
Affirmative.
Copy !req
53. Roger.
Miller.
Copy !req
54. Gotcha.
Check.
Copy !req
55. We're on it.
Copy !req
56. Was it
the Commissioner?
Copy !req
57. Not exactly.
Copy !req
58. It was someone not
unlike the Commissioner,
Copy !req
59. with all the intolerant intones
of the commissioner, who
Copy !req
60. sounded the remarkably
like the Geek,
Copy !req
61. and therefore could very
well have been the Geek.
Copy !req
62. You have a long, black hair
growing right out of your nose.
Copy !req
63. She says there's
bad trouble down
Copy !req
64. in the Subbasement of Solitude.
Copy !req
65. It's a case.
Copy !req
66. To the lab.
Copy !req
67. Having fun, little pal?
Copy !req
68. It's curiously unsettling.
Copy !req
69. Well, Secretary General,
there are no easy answers
Copy !req
70. to the global warming
problem, but if you're asking
Copy !req
71. my opinion—
Copy !req
72. Incoming.
Copy !req
73. Incoming.
Copy !req
74. Ah, geez.
Copy !req
75. Can't they ever take the stairs?
Copy !req
76. Catching some air.
Copy !req
77. Going for distance.
Copy !req
78. It's a new world record.
Copy !req
79. Gee, I hope this wasn't
anything important.
Copy !req
80. It looks like an incredibly
virulent form of the plague.
Copy !req
81. But tastes like butter.
Copy !req
82. Look, Sam.
Copy !req
83. The Geek fixed our car.
Copy !req
84. It's got new
headers, and lifters,
Copy !req
85. and retractable headlight
howitzers, and everything.
Copy !req
86. She's too good to us.
Copy !req
87. You can say that
again, little buddy.
Copy !req
88. I love having a
Subbasement of Solitude
Copy !req
89. with our very own genius
girl to think of wildly
Copy !req
90. improbable stuff for us.
Copy !req
91. Like this exploding Max decoy
with realistic action banter.
Copy !req
92. Death from above.
Copy !req
93. Death from above.
Copy !req
94. It's what I've always wanted.
Copy !req
95. Thanks, Geek.
Copy !req
96. Keep it down, you guys.
Copy !req
97. I'm on the phone to
the United Nations.
Copy !req
98. Doing a little moonlighting
for the world powers, I see.
Copy !req
99. I had some free time.
Copy !req
100. Secretary General, I'll
look into that ozone thing
Copy !req
101. right away.
Copy !req
102. Over and out.
Copy !req
103. What took you guys?
Copy !req
104. My fridge is really acting up.
Copy !req
105. Golly, Geek, we had a
hankering for something
Copy !req
106. a little more dangerous.
Copy !req
107. Life threatening, even.
Copy !req
108. Hm.
Copy !req
109. So far, it's absorbed
three innocent repairmen.
Copy !req
110. Now you're talking.
Copy !req
111. OK.
Copy !req
112. On my signal.
Copy !req
113. Three, two, open
the door right now.
Copy !req
114. Chill, fridge.
Copy !req
115. Freeze, unit.
Copy !req
116. I can't believe I shot
at an innocent vegetable.
Copy !req
117. I can't believe I said chill.
Copy !req
118. Oh, well.
Copy !req
119. Nothing spooky or
untoward inside.
Copy !req
120. It's not fair.
Copy !req
121. Give it a minute to warm up.
Copy !req
122. It's an old fridge.
Copy !req
123. Happy now?
Copy !req
124. This is definitely a job
for the freelance police.
Copy !req
125. The light.
Go into the light.
Copy !req
126. This is no time to mock
the paranormal, little pal.
Copy !req
127. We need to look into this.
- Check.
Copy !req
128. Ooh.
Aah.
Copy !req
129. It was at that point
they met Yukon Cornelius,
Copy !req
130. Scallywag of the North.
Copy !req
131. Max, snap out of it.
Copy !req
132. What did you see?
Copy !req
133. I saw what can only be
described as a gateway
Copy !req
134. to some wondrous
parallel dimension.
Copy !req
135. Great.
Copy !req
136. But did you see any
Fudgicles in there?
Copy !req
137. Look way in the back.
Copy !req
138. Stop it, Sam.
Copy !req
139. You're making it mad.
Copy !req
140. Oh, Max doesn't mind.
Copy !req
141. Do you, Max?
Copy !req
142. Whoa.
Copy !req
143. I'm just tossing
darts in the dark here,
Copy !req
144. but I'd say this whole
trans-dimensional mess
Copy !req
145. is the combined
result of you storing
Copy !req
146. toxic oozes in leaky
zippy lock bags
Copy !req
147. in a freezer that's about
as neglected as Quasimodo
Copy !req
148. at a Sadie Hawkins dance.
Copy !req
149. Can you guys just do
something about this, please?
Copy !req
150. Sure, but do you have
any sage scientific advice
Copy !req
151. before we venture into this
presumably hostile unknown
Copy !req
152. dimension?
Copy !req
153. Well, it's unknown
and presumably hostile.
Copy !req
154. I'd be careful.
- Thanks, Geek.
Copy !req
155. You're the best.
Copy !req
156. There's no place like home.
Copy !req
157. Well here we are in
the hostile parallel ice
Copy !req
158. dimension contained
inside the Geek's freezer.
Copy !req
159. And me, without my lip balm.
Copy !req
160. And you, without lips.
Copy !req
161. But enough of this.
Copy !req
162. In the
morning, in the evening,
Copy !req
163. ain't we got fun.
La la la la.
Copy !req
164. La la la la.
Copy !req
165. La la la la.
Oh!
Copy !req
166. Quickly fashioning a
makeshift sled using
Copy !req
167. giant French fries and spit.
Copy !req
168. Mush, Max, mush.
Copy !req
169. If we ever hope to
find those repairmen
Copy !req
170. and get home in time for a huge
self-congratulatory hoagie,
Copy !req
171. we've got to find
the source of all
Copy !req
172. these multi-dimensional
shenanigans.
Copy !req
173. Woof.
Woof.
Copy !req
174. Scarecrows.
Copy !req
175. Crude, but effective.
Copy !req
176. How so?
Copy !req
177. There's not a crow in sight and
the corn hasn't been touched.
Copy !req
178. I'm thinking maybe these
scarecrows are here to scare
Copy !req
179. off more than just crows.
Copy !req
180. Perhaps whoever lives down
there can provide the answer.
Copy !req
181. What's the password?
Copy !req
182. And if you say,
swordfish, I'll lose it.
Copy !req
183. The password is haggis.
Copy !req
184. - Boiled...?
- Haggis!
Copy !req
185. No signs of life, Max.
Copy !req
186. Still, I can't shake
this uneasy feeling
Copy !req
187. that we're being watched
in a cliche kind of way.
Copy !req
188. Yeah, it's just like in those
cheesy teenage gore flicks.
Copy !req
189. Don't strip for a shower unless
you want to buy the farm.
Copy !req
190. And speaking of
cliche movie moments—
Copy !req
191. Freelance police.
Copy !req
192. Nobody move.
Copy !req
193. Good work, little buddy.
Copy !req
194. You can un-hogtie us now.
Copy !req
195. - Not until you say cheese.
- Cheese.
Copy !req
196. Sorry about that back there.
Copy !req
197. We thought you were the Thing.
Copy !req
198. The Thing?
Copy !req
199. A shape-changing entity
of unfathomable evil
Copy !req
200. that's been stalking us.
Copy !req
201. More sticky buns?
Copy !req
202. Oh, I really shouldn't, but—
Copy !req
203. It's just a matter of
time before it gets us all.
Copy !req
204. We're doomed, man.
Copy !req
205. Doomed, I tell you.
- Hudson.
Copy !req
206. No more coffee for you.
Copy !req
207. Like you, we too were
snatched like babes
Copy !req
208. from our mothers' arms.
Copy !req
209. But why is this crazy,
upside down world?
Copy !req
210. Ah, that's easy.
Copy !req
211. Tell them, Max.
Copy !req
212. All right, Sam.
Copy !req
213. You and your friends
have been whisked away
Copy !req
214. for an extended stay
in the frigid ice
Copy !req
215. world spawned inside the Geek's
Cool Spot Super 6 icebox.
Copy !req
216. REPAIR MAN:Yes.
Copy !req
217. It's all coming back now.
Copy !req
218. Darn this topsy turvy
house of horrors.
Copy !req
219. We're doomed, I tell you.
Copy !req
220. Doomed.
Copy !req
221. Hudson!
Copy !req
222. Sorry.
Copy !req
223. The four of us are just real
messed up about all this,
Copy !req
224. you know?
Copy !req
225. The four of us?
Copy !req
226. Hey, who's the new guy?
Copy !req
227. Now there's something
you don't see every day.
Copy !req
228. That's exactly why I quit my
summer job at the petting zoo.
Copy !req
229. There.
You see?
Copy !req
230. It just took Higgins, man!
Copy !req
231. Yes.
Copy !req
232. The air is still charged
with its icy presence
Copy !req
233. and, unless I'm
mistaken, peach cobbler.
Copy !req
234. Max, get a reading on this.
Copy !req
235. If we can glean the Thing's
basic molecular composition,
Copy !req
236. there may be a
way to destroy it.
Copy !req
237. Glean?
Copy !req
238. Is that a real word, Sam?
Copy !req
239. Hm.
Copy !req
240. Just as I thought.
Copy !req
241. The Thing was born
of a bizarre chemical
Copy !req
242. reaction between the
Geek's ill-stored
Copy !req
243. biological pan drippings and—
Copy !req
244. Salisbury steak and gravy.
Copy !req
245. It's a monstrous
TV dinner gone bad.
Copy !req
246. Fascinating.
Copy !req
247. What is that device?
Copy !req
248. Some kind of tricorder?
Copy !req
249. Actually, we're deep
in the fourth quarter.
Copy !req
250. Pinhead. Heh-heh.
Copy !req
251. Well, here we are in a
deadly game of cat and mouse
Copy !req
252. with the Thing.
Copy !req
253. Tell me, Sam.
Copy !req
254. Why the heck are we
doing this again?
Copy !req
255. It's simple, really.
Copy !req
256. If this so-called Thing
should somehow find its way
Copy !req
257. into our world, devouring
unsuspecting citizens who have
Copy !req
258. no natural fear
of frozen entrees,
Copy !req
259. it would surely cause
a nation-wide mistrust
Copy !req
260. of pre-manufactured
foods of all kind,
Copy !req
261. forcing producers of salty,
overcooked, man-size portions
Copy !req
262. to go bankrupt.
Copy !req
263. To safeguard American
businesses, Max.
Copy !req
264. That's why the heck
we're doing this.
Copy !req
265. And because we get
to wave these around.
Copy !req
266. Well, that goes without saying.
Copy !req
267. Freezerburn
to Heat and Serve.
Copy !req
268. Do you read me, Heat and Serve?
Over.
Copy !req
269. No
sign of the Thing.
Copy !req
270. All's quiet here, but wait.
Copy !req
271. Oh, no.
Copy !req
272. It's behind us.
Copy !req
273. We read
you, Freezerburn.
Copy !req
274. Just testing the equipment.
Over.
Copy !req
275. Well, don't.
Copy !req
276. Any sign of the beast?
Copy !req
277. No sign of him yet.
Copy !req
278. Although we may have
stumbled into its den.
Copy !req
279. Help.
Copy !req
280. Please help.
Copy !req
281. Finish me.
Copy !req
282. For the love of
Mike, just do it.
Copy !req
283. I guess we could do that.
Copy !req
284. Well, can't we just
rescue you instead?
Copy !req
285. Oh, all right.
Copy !req
286. That's good, too.
Copy !req
287. Steady, men.
Copy !req
288. Like all wild
creatures, it's easily
Copy !req
289. spooked by sudden movements.
Copy !req
290. Nice.
Copy !req
291. Freeze, entree.
Copy !req
292. We're packin' heat!
Copy !req
293. Reheated beef-like byproducts.
Copy !req
294. Coming right up.
Copy !req
295. Say your prayers, dinner.
Copy !req
296. Or your dinner
prayers, or something.
Copy !req
297. Gee.
Copy !req
298. I don't know anybody who
could fire bomb kittens.
Copy !req
299. Here.
Let me.
Copy !req
300. Wow.
Copy !req
301. It's a nondescript supermodel.
Copy !req
302. Quick, Sam, get a picture.
Copy !req
303. You always have that
effect on the ladies.
Copy !req
304. There's no time to lose.
Copy !req
305. Our only hope is to
activate the outpost's
Copy !req
306. automatic destruct sequence
and blow the Thing to bits.
Copy !req
307. Sorry.
Copy !req
308. We don't have an autodestruct.
Copy !req
309. Then we'll overload the
post's environment controls,
Copy !req
310. superheating the nuclear
power plant, and—
Copy !req
311. No, no nuclear
power plant either.
Copy !req
312. Just space heaters.
Copy !req
313. OK.
Copy !req
314. We'll jam a scuba tank
in its gaping maw,
Copy !req
315. and shoot at it
with rifles and—
Copy !req
316. Scuba tanks?
Rifles?
Copy !req
317. We have no use for such things.
Copy !req
318. - We can throw lit matches at it.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
319. It hates that.
Copy !req
320. Looks like the
end of the line, Sam.
Copy !req
321. We're about to be scoffed like
a couple of cocktail weenies.
Copy !req
322. I may scream like a grandmother.
Copy !req
323. Me, too, little buddy.
Copy !req
324. If only we were on the other end
of this nightmarish food chain.
Copy !req
325. I'm starved.
Copy !req
326. Hm.
Copy !req
327. This is a new wrinkle.
Copy !req
328. Boy, and I thought
I had issues.
Copy !req
329. Gentlemen, we have
the Thing's assurance
Copy !req
330. that the attacks will stop.
Copy !req
331. Under one condition.
Copy !req
332. The hideous creature before
you is the last of his kind.
Copy !req
333. Only he remains.
Copy !req
334. And being a TV dinner,
his destiny is, you know—
Copy !req
335. To be eaten.
Copy !req
336. What are you?
Copy !req
337. Crazy, man?
Copy !req
338. What kind a sick lunatic
would volunteer to do that?
Copy !req
339. Oh, pick me.
Copy !req
340. Oh, me.
Copy !req
341. Sorry, little pal.
Copy !req
342. You just don't have the
sheer girth to volunteer
Copy !req
343. for such a hazardous mission.
Copy !req
344. This one's on me.
Copy !req
345. It won't be long now.
Copy !req
346. Sam skipped lunch.
Copy !req
347. Hello, there.
Copy !req
348. Don't be afraid.
Copy !req
349. I'll be your eater
for this evening.
Copy !req
350. - Thank you.
- No.
Copy !req
351. Thank you.
Copy !req
352. It's over.
Copy !req
353. He's gone on to a better place.
- How was he?
Copy !req
354. At the end, I mean.
Copy !req
355. He was happy.
Copy !req
356. And except for a little freezer
burn, surprisingly tasty.
Copy !req
357. Yeah.
But where does this leave us?
Copy !req
358. We're still stuck here, man.
Copy !req
359. Doomed, I tell you.
Copy !req
360. Doomed.
Copy !req
361. Hudson.
Copy !req
362. The excitable guy's
got a point, Sam.
Copy !req
363. And a timely one at that, Max.
Copy !req
364. For according to my
calculation, the Thing's demise
Copy !req
365. should severely compromise the
stability of the dimension.
Copy !req
366. Right about—
Copy !req
367. Love you, man.
Copy !req
368. Good work.
Copy !req
369. Good job.
Copy !req
370. Yeah, friends for
life, you know.
Copy !req
371. Hey, Sam, what's
the matter, boy?
Copy !req
372. I don't know.
Copy !req
373. I'm experiencing quite a
lot of discomfort here, Max.
Copy !req
374. - Maybe it was someTHING he ate.
- Whoa.
Copy !req
375. Oh.
Copy !req
376. You see?
Copy !req
377. It's that Thing, man.
Copy !req
378. It's alive.
Copy !req
379. It's going to hatch out of this
guy, and do the same to us.
Copy !req
380. We're doomed, I tell you.
- Hudson!
Copy !req
381. Oh.
Copy !req
382. Take cover.
Copy !req
383. He's going to blow.
Copy !req
384. Feeling better?
Copy !req
385. Much.
Copy !req
386. You guys.
Copy !req
387. Look what you did.
Copy !req
388. The lab is ruined.
Copy !req
389. Oh, I wouldn't say that.
Copy !req
390. Some fresh paint,
a few plants here
Copy !req
391. and there, and a construction
crew working around the clock,
Copy !req
392. and it'll be good as new.
Copy !req
393. And as for getting some of
this lab equipment repaired,
Copy !req
394. I think we can call
in a few favors.
Copy !req
395. Well, at least my
fridge is fixed.
Copy !req
396. And so is the ozone, by golly.
Copy !req
397. Look.
Copy !req
398. TV: Repeating our top story,
just moments ago an unknown gas
Copy !req
399. was released into
the atmosphere,
Copy !req
400. creating what scientists are
calling an impenetrable yellowy
Copy !req
401. build up around the inner
lining of the ozone,
Copy !req
402. effectively plugging the hole.
Copy !req
403. And how do you spell relief?
Copy !req
404. Well, I'll be.
Copy !req
405. You did it, Geek.
Copy !req
406. You repaired the ozone layer.
Copy !req
407. The world is in your debt.
Copy !req
408. We thank you.
Copy !req
409. Don't thank me.
Copy !req
410. Secretary General.
Copy !req
411. Thank Sam and Max,
freelance police.
Copy !req
412. - Aw, go on.
- Stop it.
