1. Pretty creepy so far.
Copy !req
2. Wow.
Copy !req
3. This sort of material should
carry a stern warning label.
Copy !req
4. Here's what
we've got to go on.
Copy !req
5. It's an unidentifiable
life form, offensive
Copy !req
6. in both appearance and smell.
Copy !req
7. And it's been at the back of
the fridge since we moved in.
Copy !req
8. It's either some kind
of spreadable meat
Copy !req
9. byproduct or nesting hamsters.
Copy !req
10. It is fur-bearing, and
that's what throws you.
Copy !req
11. It's a coded message from
the commissioner, Max.
Copy !req
12. What does it say, duck?
Copy !req
13. He says there's big
trouble at the Earth's core.
Copy !req
14. We've got to seek out
the hub of Mother Earth
Copy !req
15. and see what's
troubling the old gal.
Copy !req
16. Then onward to the
Earth's warm gooey center!
Copy !req
17. To the lab!
Copy !req
18. And as even more sightings of
these unidentified humanoids
Copy !req
19. spring up, we urge all of
you to stay in your homes.
Copy !req
20. We said it before and
we'll say it again,
Copy !req
21. Geek, you're a genius.
Copy !req
22. Who'd of thought the inner
workings of a salad spinner
Copy !req
23. could be modified
to drill through 60
Copy !req
24. miles of solid bedrock?
Copy !req
25. It bears out the little known
scientific fact that if you
Copy !req
26. spin something fast enough—
Copy !req
27. Even our spongy living heads.
Copy !req
28. —it can bore through
just about anything.
Copy !req
29. You're going to be spinning at
80,000 revolutions per second.
Copy !req
30. So please, remain
seated until the ride
Copy !req
31. comes to a complete stop.
Copy !req
32. Center of the
Earth, here we come!
Copy !req
33. Wowee, the world truly
is a carousel of color.
Copy !req
34. There's drama and
mirth in old Mother Earth.
Copy !req
35. And all of her
secretions, you see.
Copy !req
36. So this is the
Earth's core, huh?
Copy !req
37. It's not so hot.
Copy !req
38. Speak for
yourself, little buddy.
Copy !req
39. My hat band is working overtime.
Copy !req
40. Holy jumping weasel
fritters on a hot cross bun.
Copy !req
41. Look at that!
Copy !req
42. Do you realize what this means?
- No!
Copy !req
43. But let me guess!
Copy !req
44. The Earth is going to
super-heat and explode,
Copy !req
45. thereby reducing
everyone and everything
Copy !req
46. to an imperceptible haze of
drifting atomic particles.
Copy !req
47. That's right!
Copy !req
48. And that alone is
motivation enough for us
Copy !req
49. to go willy-nilly
with the controls.
Copy !req
50. We got to cool this puppy down.
Copy !req
51. Lookie there, Max, it's a horde
of murderous inner-dwellers.
Copy !req
52. When there are five or more,
the correct term is a clot.
Copy !req
53. Oh.
Copy !req
54. Ooh wee ooh, yo oh.
Copy !req
55. Ooh wee oh, yo oh.
Copy !req
56. Welcome, surface dwellers.
Copy !req
57. I am Dr. Morag.
Copy !req
58. Family practitioner?
Copy !req
59. What luck.
Copy !req
60. I was hoping to have
this big mole removed.
Copy !req
61. DR. We are the
mole-men, a simple race who,
Copy !req
62. until recently,
have lived content
Copy !req
63. in our duties to maintain the
core temperature of the planet.
Copy !req
64. And then came 510
channels of glorious
Copy !req
65. around the clock
non-stop broadcasting.
Copy !req
66. And with it, the
seeds of discontent.
Copy !req
67. That explains their pasty
complexions and bad posture.
Copy !req
68. Yours too.
Copy !req
69. DR. Our squinty eyes
were opened to the wonders
Copy !req
70. of your lively surface world.
Copy !req
71. From that day forth
the die was cast.
Copy !req
72. No longer would we remain
prisoners of the dark!
Copy !req
73. For tonight is the
night of our rebirth!
Copy !req
74. Tonight we embark on a mass
exodus to the surface world,
Copy !req
75. in order to abandon this life
of blind subterraneanism,
Copy !req
76. to see the world, and get dates.
Copy !req
77. I don't recall asking for this
guy's life story, do you, Sam?
Copy !req
78. In order to better
prepare ourselves
Copy !req
79. for a social integration, once
a week, on Saturday night,
Copy !req
80. a party of happening
mole-men would
Copy !req
81. partake in a fact-gathering
field trip to the surface.
Copy !req
82. Our height and
facial deficiencies
Copy !req
83. could be somewhat
overlooked by your people.
Copy !req
84. But it was our hands, ghastly,
shovel-like claws to you,
Copy !req
85. that proved to be our undoing.
Copy !req
86. Hi, I'm Cathy.
Copy !req
87. Hello, Cathy.
Copy !req
88. I'm Morag.
Copy !req
89. Stop right there, Morag.
Copy !req
90. Maybe you shouldn't set
your sights so high.
Copy !req
91. Try hitting it off with a member
of the rodent family first.
Copy !req
92. A solid relationship
with a groundhog
Copy !req
93. could be very rewarding.
Copy !req
94. These talons— how I hate them!
Copy !req
95. They would forever prevent us
from obtaining true happiness,
Copy !req
96. until now.
Copy !req
97. With these life-like
synthetic hands,
Copy !req
98. we can venture into the
surface world with confidence.
Copy !req
99. Nice hands.
Copy !req
100. If you're a fielder
for the Cubs.
Copy !req
101. Say, there's a confident grip.
Copy !req
102. DR. Thanks to
your throwaway society,
Copy !req
103. and their habit of burying
everything in sight,
Copy !req
104. we have mountains of plastic.
Copy !req
105. And with a boundless supply of
energy from the Earth's core,
Copy !req
106. we will soon have
a pair of new hands,
Copy !req
107. for each and every mole-man!
Copy !req
108. Come in, Sam and Max.
Copy !req
109. Come in, Sam and Max.
Copy !req
110. It's and urgent
communication from the Geek!
Copy !req
111. Put it on the big screen.
Copy !req
112. Distinguished mole-men, the
core temperature of our planet
Copy !req
113. has climbed to
cataclysmic levels.
Copy !req
114. Unless you abandon this
reckless course of action,
Copy !req
115. it will reach critical
mass within two days
Copy !req
116. and will explode with
the force of 1,000 suns.
Copy !req
117. Morag, as a fellow
person of science,
Copy !req
118. I implore you, stop this madness
now, before it's too late.
Copy !req
119. No!
Copy !req
120. We've come too far to stop now.
Copy !req
121. We're so close to the
realization of our dream.
Copy !req
122. And the big singles
mixer is tonight.
Copy !req
123. But doctor,
listen to reason.
Copy !req
124. I have nothing
further to say to you.
Copy !req
125. Except that I'll
be in town tonight
Copy !req
126. if you want to get together.
Copy !req
127. Uh, gee, I, uh, was planning
on washing my hair tonight.
Copy !req
128. I think it's high time we
threw the proverbial wrench
Copy !req
129. into the works, don't you, Max?
- I'll say.
Copy !req
130. Now I can finally
ditch this thing.
Copy !req
131. Max, I didn't know
you were a marsupial.
Copy !req
132. Me neither, whatever that is.
Copy !req
133. No!
Copy !req
134. DR. Our one chance
at happiness is no more.
Copy !req
135. We are now forever doomed to a
life of loneliness and despair.
Copy !req
136. Thanks to you!
Copy !req
137. Ah, don't thank us.
Copy !req
138. Just doing our job.
Copy !req
139. DR. Seize them!
Copy !req
140. Hmm, obviously sparing the
planet cuts us no slack at all.
Copy !req
141. Let's mull that over during an
intense but invigorating fight
Copy !req
142. sequence.
Copy !req
143. No prisoners!
Copy !req
144. Into the core with them!
Copy !req
145. You wouldn't have anything
tucked away for putting smoking
Copy !req
146. holes in things, would ya?
Copy !req
147. Just minty toothpicks.
Copy !req
148. Then I guess this is the end.
DR. Look!
Copy !req
149. Something there!
Copy !req
150. It's mole-women!
Copy !req
151. Well, what do you know?
Copy !req
152. New neighbors.
Copy !req
153. Isn't that nice?
Copy !req
154. It's just like when
the boy campers discovered
Copy !req
155. the girl campers on Camp
Runamuck, only miles
Copy !req
156. beneath the good Earth.
Copy !req
157. All's well that ends well, Max.
Copy !req
158. The world is safe
and the mole-men
Copy !req
159. have found true happiness.
Copy !req
160. It's a
beautiful thing, Sam.
Copy !req
161. Let's leave.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
162. I think they crave
a little privacy.
Copy !req
163. Actually I'm deathly
afraid of seeing them kiss.
Copy !req
164. Eww, they're at it!
Let's go!
Copy !req
165. Let's go!
Copy !req
166. Fair thee well,
tiny mole folks.
Copy !req
167. What's that smell?
Oh, Max.
Copy !req
168. Well, Sam, looks
like we've found
Copy !req
169. out what's been causing
all the big trouble
Copy !req
170. in the north Atlantic.
Copy !req
171. Yeah, nothing says
drama on the high seas
Copy !req
172. like a cheesed-off giant
octopus defending its turf.
Copy !req
173. It's time we taught this ornery
critter its proper place
Copy !req
174. in the food chain, Max.
Copy !req
175. I like 'em deep
fried with lemon.
Copy !req
176. From Heck's heart I stab at thee!
Copy !req
177. For Pete's sake!
Copy !req
178. I spit my bad breath at thee!
Copy !req
179. The drama's done.
Copy !req
180. The seas are safe once again
for giant multinational fishing
Copy !req
181. fleets to cast their drift
nets with reckless abandon.
Copy !req
182. We return victorious, proud
with the scars of battle!
Copy !req
183. It looks like I'm wearing
polka-dot jammies.
Copy !req
184. But sadly that cheap,
two-bit octo-punk
Copy !req
185. nabbed my pocket watch.
Copy !req
186. Where exactly did you
keep a pocket watch, Max?
Copy !req
187. That watch had
sentimental value, Sam.
Copy !req
188. It had a secret compartment
where I kept all
Copy !req
189. my favorite toenail clippings.
Copy !req
190. Well, I know this
can never replace
Copy !req
191. the one you lost, but here.
Copy !req
192. It shines like the
head of Mr. Papadopoulis.
Copy !req
193. Where did you get it?
Copy !req
194. It was an impulse purchase from
that friendly street hawker.
Copy !req
195. It's got all the
bells and whistles.
Copy !req
196. Button A is for regular time,
B is for military time, C
Copy !req
197. for your blood pressure,
A and B turn it
Copy !req
198. into a personal massager, A
and B plus C shows your IQ.
Copy !req
199. What happens if
I press them all?
Copy !req
200. Something altogether
zany, I bet.
Copy !req
201. Incredible.
Copy !req
202. The pedestrian special
effects, the hackneyed imagery.
Copy !req
203. We're tumbling backwards
through the ages.
Copy !req
204. Eww!
Copy !req
205. Time travel!
Copy !req
206. That's way better than
a toenail compartment.
Copy !req
207. Where and when
are the heck are we?
Copy !req
208. According to my new
watch, it's— oops.
Copy !req
209. Holy mother of pearl
in a side-car going 80.
Copy !req
210. We've rambled all the way
back to the dawn of time.
Copy !req
211. Careful, Max.
Copy !req
212. Our slightest
movement might alter
Copy !req
213. the course of human history.
Copy !req
214. The simple act of swatting
a fly could change
Copy !req
215. the earth's entire timeline.
Copy !req
216. Now we'll see if
all those science
Copy !req
217. fiction stories are true.
Copy !req
218. Creepy, huh?
Copy !req
219. And the strange
part is, they
Copy !req
220. keep the city much cleaner.
Copy !req
221. I could do this all day.
Copy !req
222. You know, Sam, playing
fast and loose with destiny
Copy !req
223. is fun and all,
but all time travel
Copy !req
224. reminds me of science class.
Copy !req
225. What if I'm learning stuff?
Copy !req
226. Yeah, ain't it great?
Copy !req
227. The simple days of youth.
Copy !req
228. Hey, that reminds me,
there's a stop I want to make.
Copy !req
229. You should of thought of
that before we left, Sam.
Copy !req
230. Not that kind of
stop, dough-head.
Copy !req
231. Although I did sneak
behind a thirsty fern
Copy !req
232. back in two million BC.
Copy !req
233. I shudder to think
of the repercussions
Copy !req
234. that's going to have.
Copy !req
235. It's soft, marketable baby
versions of ourselves.
Copy !req
236. Look at me, Sammy,
I'm Daniel Boone.
Copy !req
237. You crack me up, Max.
Copy !req
238. This sure stirs up a few
long suppressed memories.
Copy !req
239. And explains how
those sticky nightmares
Copy !req
240. I have about possessed
vermin headwear.
Copy !req
241. Well, well, if it isn't Sam
and Maxey, freelance goobers.
Copy !req
242. It's Melon Hargraves.
Copy !req
243. Swaggering poster-boy
for unchecked bullyism.
Copy !req
244. He delighted in rubbing
your fur the wrong way.
Copy !req
245. And stealing your lunch,
and giving you pink bellies.
Copy !req
246. I can't watch.
Copy !req
247. It's so demeaning.
Copy !req
248. Pink bellies... I hated those.
Copy !req
249. To this day I hate those.
Copy !req
250. Curse you, Melon Hargraves!
Copy !req
251. No, Sam, we dare not interfere,
lest we alter our own futures.
Copy !req
252. You're right, Max.
Copy !req
253. Sorry.
Copy !req
254. Hey, now he's dressing
you like a girl.
Copy !req
255. Max?
Max?
Copy !req
256. Now remember, go for the
soft underbelly first.
Copy !req
257. Save the grisly bits for later.
Copy !req
258. Words of wisdom, Gramps.
Copy !req
259. Get him off!
Ah!
Copy !req
260. Get him off!
It hurts!
Copy !req
261. Shame on you, big Max.
Copy !req
262. What about all that yadda
about altering our future?
Copy !req
263. Relax.
Copy !req
264. I only passed on my
unsettling ability
Copy !req
265. to unhinge my lower jaw.
Copy !req
266. What could possibly— happen.
Copy !req
267. Gee, I don't remember checking
into the Y. Do you, Sam?
Copy !req
268. Sam?
Copy !req
269. Where are you, Sam?
Copy !req
270. Say something!
Copy !req
271. Give me a sign!
Copy !req
272. Hello there, friend.
Copy !req
273. What a relief.
Copy !req
274. For a minute I thought
something awful happened to you.
Copy !req
275. Oh if your
llama is all lonely
Copy !req
276. and your gibbon's
gettin' gritty,
Copy !req
277. there's no better place to go
to in this big stinkin' city.
Copy !req
278. If there's an eye-burning
aroma wafting off your buffalo,
Copy !req
279. Sam's Discount Pet Wash is
the place ya ought to go.
Copy !req
280. Sam's Discount Pet Wash?
No!
Copy !req
281. Make it stop!
Copy !req
282. Melon Hargraves!
Copy !req
283. Now this may sting a bit.
Copy !req
284. What— what have I done?
Copy !req
285. Everything's changed!
Copy !req
286. Got to find Sam.
Copy !req
287. Oh if your
llama is all lonely
Copy !req
288. and your gibbon's get
gritty, there's a better—
Copy !req
289. Sam!
Copy !req
290. Welcome, stranger.
Copy !req
291. Are you here for the special?
Copy !req
292. Sam, it's me!
Copy !req
293. Max!
Copy !req
294. Don't you know me?
Copy !req
295. We're partners!
Copy !req
296. We grew up together.
Copy !req
297. Think back, man!
Copy !req
298. I do vaguely
recall a fuzzy bunny
Copy !req
299. pal with whom I whiled away the
hazy halcyon days of my youth.
Copy !req
300. Yeah.
Copy !req
301. Yeah?
Copy !req
302. Then one day
something happened.
Copy !req
303. I ate a bad head cheese
sandwich and wandered
Copy !req
304. off into a hallucinogenic daze.
Copy !req
305. I came to 15 years later in
a remote Tibetan monastery.
Copy !req
306. I had obtained
higher consciousness.
Copy !req
307. But still, I always felt
there was something missing.
Copy !req
308. Besides shorts.
Copy !req
309. It was me!
Me!
Copy !req
310. I was missing!
Copy !req
311. But I'm back, here to save
you from this sorry existence!
Copy !req
312. I think you should leave now.
Copy !req
313. You're scaring Patches.
Copy !req
314. I got it!
Copy !req
315. I guess I do got it.
Copy !req
316. Hello?
Copy !req
317. It's for you.
Copy !req
318. Oh.
Copy !req
319. Sam's Discount Pet Wash?
Yeah.
Copy !req
320. Yeah.
Copy !req
321. No!
Copy !req
322. He said that?
Copy !req
323. What did you say?
Copy !req
324. Well then what did he say?
Copy !req
325. No!
Copy !req
326. Was it the commissioner, Sam?
Copy !req
327. Who's the commissioner?
Copy !req
328. It was my booking agent.
Copy !req
329. He says there's bad
trouble in the North
Copy !req
330. Atlantic— something
about a rogue octopus
Copy !req
331. with a bad case of ick.
Copy !req
332. A rogue octopus?
Copy !req
333. It's deja vu all over again.
Copy !req
334. Let's roll!
Copy !req
335. Well here we are, right
back where we started.
Copy !req
336. It must be how all these
time travel shows go.
Copy !req
337. Ring any bells?
Copy !req
338. This is what we do, Sam.
Copy !req
339. We're the freelance police.
Copy !req
340. These are just licorice, right?
Copy !req
341. Feel feel to jump
in anytime, Sam!
Copy !req
342. Sorry, as a monk I was
taught to revere all life.
Copy !req
343. We are one with even
the lowest of creatures.
Copy !req
344. Even if it's slapping you silly
while going for your wallet?
Copy !req
345. The path of violence can
never lead to harmony.
Copy !req
346. Now you're just
being ridiculous.
Copy !req
347. What's it going to push
this guy's buttons?
Copy !req
348. A pink belly!
Copy !req
349. He's giving you a
pink belly, Sam!
Copy !req
350. Come on!
Have you no shame?
Copy !req
351. Pink bellies, I hated those.
Copy !req
352. To this day I hate those.
Copy !req
353. Curse you, Melon Hargraves!
Ah!
Copy !req
354. That's it!
Copy !req
355. It's only Melon
if you believe it.
Copy !req
356. Welcome to your destiny, Sam.
Copy !req
357. How do you feel?
Copy !req
358. Kind of dizzy.
Copy !req
359. But at last I've found my true
calling— the rash and reckless
Copy !req
360. life of a freelance cop.
Copy !req
361. I've preened the ticks
off my last cat.
Copy !req
362. And I'm swearing off meddling
with the fabric of time.
Copy !req
363. Looks for all
the world like things
Copy !req
364. are back to normal, little pal.
Copy !req
365. Sending that giant
octopus back in time
Copy !req
366. has restored the
natural order of things.
Copy !req
367. Or a reasonable facsimile.
Copy !req
368. Did I mention that
you crack me up, Max?
Copy !req
369. All the time, Sam.
Copy !req
370. Ah!
Copy !req
371. - Now, this may sting a bit.
- Ah!
Copy !req
372. Death from above!
Copy !req
373. Hi, kids.
Copy !req
374. How would you like to own
your very own lovable paper
Copy !req
375. bag Max head hand-puppet?
Copy !req
376. I've got one, as do all the
people I respect and admire.
Copy !req
377. I like it.
Copy !req
378. Here's what to do.
Copy !req
379. Cut these shapes out
of white construction paper.
Copy !req
380. Then glue them on
to a paper lunch bag
Copy !req
381. in a face-like configuration.
Copy !req
382. Draw Max's adorable
features and the inside
Copy !req
383. of his gaping maw on the back.
Copy !req
384. If you feel ambitious, you can
include everything Max may have
Copy !req
385. eaten in the last 24 hours.
Copy !req
386. Make a bunch and use 'em
to put on twisted puppet shows
