Well, hello cupcake. Did you enjoy the performance?
Er.. er.. er..
Awesome, excellent, cool
Your act brought a lump to my throat..
Push the choke in, I think you're hot enough. Now, what do you want me for?
I take it you liked the show. Now, what can I do with you..to you..
I mean, for you?
Your throat? Hmm, well that's a new one on me. Now, how can I acommodate you?
I'm looking for the Professor, he's been kidnapped. Have you seen him?
I found these matches at my friends apartment but he's been kidnapped
Sorry, Fruit-Pie, I can't say that I have..
Yes, I gave those matches to one of Dick Tate's men
Who's Dick Tate?
I found these matches, dropped by the kidnappers
He's a very potent man. A big-shot around Barryville
You mean he's got loads of money
Sure has. Tate wanted some private work doing at his secret base
Where's his secret base?
What sort of private work?
If I knew that it wouldn't be a secret base, now would it?
Well, how did you get there?
I was picked up at the park, in a truck of all thing
Blind-folded and taken to the job
He wanted me to do something in his private apartment
But I don't know where the apartment is
How come?
Do you think anyone at the park may have seen something?
Search me..
I'd love to but I've got to find my friend. Thanks a lot
Sure my little quarter pounder. It's been fun, so here's a little reminder
Thanks Lola you're a babe!
Hello again
Tell me, you don't have a photograph of your dog in your wallet, do you?
Hey, I'm outta here!
Hey Vera, I've got the tie you wanted
Polynesian polka dot. Vera like nice pretty tie
Vera let boy in club for such nice pretty tie
Boy has pretty Tie. Vera let boy enter
Hey cool! Move over Vera
Hey big guy! Look what I've got!
Hey cool! Move over I'm coming through
Hi, there. How you doing?
Zzzzz..zzzzzz..zzzzz..zzzzzzz
Hey! Wake up
Hi there, Mr Shifty! How you doing?
Hi, Tony what's cooking?
Mr Shifty? The name's Tony, kid, and don't you forget it!
Hey! Cut off his legs and call him shorty. It's the low-down bum again!
I'm looking for a buddy of mine...
It says medium on my shorts, but I'm no psychic. Whatsee look like?
Well, a bit like a professor
White coat, glasses...
Like a favourite uncle with brains
Yeah, which bit looks like a professor?
Hey man, this is a matter of life and death! Have you seen him?
I never had no uncle, I'm an only child
I seen a red-head couple of hours ago
Really! Bright red hair?
No, a red head. No hair, just a red head
You were an only child?
That must have been rough
Yeah, just me and my twin brother and my three sisters..
Sure was. Ever tried wearing your pop's hand me downs?
Er.. Look about the Professor?
And six older brothers...
The professor!
Huh? Oh, sorry kid, I ain't seen him
Sure have, and my dad was shorter than me
Look about the Professor: have you seen him?
You must be emotionally deranged
That figures
And my mother was so small, she was almost invisible
Yeh, and between them they produced Tom Thumb
Woah! Is that the time? Gotta dash
Maybe, maybe not. What's it worth?
A ticket to see Julio Englasias?
My great grandmother's whelk collection?
I'll give your name to a double glazing salesman
Sorry, I'm not into horror movies
It's not what you call hard currency is it kid?
Threats don't scare me kid
Well, it was worth a try. See you around
Kid, I see all sorts round here. He got any unusual features?
Teeth like stars
Really blue eyes
Big ears
Yeah the sort that come out at night
One blew to the left, the other to the right
Right, Trophy-head
You've seen him?
Sorry kid, I ain't
Right. Catch you later
Hey, shuduppaya face, or you'll be emotionally deranged
Witty comeback, dude. See you round sometime
What ya doing out here?
I'm a street salesman, kid. Wanna buy something?
That depends...
I'm looking for a nice tie...
Do I get a guarantee?
Not right now, thanks, maybe later
Depends on what?
On what your selling
I sell it all, kid
So what you got?
Apples, pears
Ugly brown bears
Dice, lice
Blind mice
Boats, flies
Pies and ties
Coats, floats
I even sell goats. I got it all kid. Whadya want?
Not quite sure, I'll have a think about it
Tell me about the tie again
Yeah! I guarantee I'll sell you a tie
Er.. I'll have a think about it
You know where I am if you need anything
Ties, I got ties
Great I'll take one
Slow down, kid. I'm gonna need some of that folding stuff
What's the price of your ties?
Would you consider part-exchange?
I'll have to start saving. Bye
I'm having a one day sale, so lets say 1,312 Dollars & 28 cents. Plus tie tax
Can I pay by instalments?
What's tie tax?
That's big bucks considering you've got a sale on
Yeah, well the sale doesn't start till next week
Look it's simple. Using the pro-active nature of the fiscal market..
Right..I..
..in a negative sum gain situation, the financial tie index..
But..but..
..is linked directly into inflationary measures designed to..
I..I..Don't feel well..
..rip off anyone dumb enough to buy a tie off me
I'm sorry I asked. I think I'll go for a lie down now
Yep! I got an easy to pay, single instalment scheme
Part-exchange! Yeah sure, I'll exchange a tie for a little Gold bullion
You must have something I can afford
Look kid, I'm a little hungry, get me something to eat and we'll see
So, what do you want to eat?
I'd give my right arm for a sticky bun
Where's the best place to get a sticky bun?
I've got no money. I'm broke
Do you want a bun with a cherry on top?
How about a sticky bun shop? And don't tell me you didn't see that one coming
I've got a few questions about that sticky bun..
Hurry up kid, I'm losing my appetite
Yeah. Lots of icing. And even more cherries
Then you'll have to beg, steal or borrow
OK, I'll be right back
Hey dinner is served. Here's the bun you wanted
About time too! You're not exactly fast food
No tie, no bun
Here you are. A Polynesian Polka dot. It matches your face
Yeah sure and that bag of nuts and bolts matches yours
Do you think you could dispose of this?
You bet I could
I don't need a brain, I've got a good one thanks
Do you think I could get locked up for owning an offensive tie?
Is this tie in fashion?
Then you must be a glutton for punishment
Don't be a wiseguy. That tie's a one-off
It was back in the 60's. It represented love and peace, man
Why do you say that?
Ain't nobody ever bought stuff off Tony twice
There's a first time for everything. Even for you peanut-brain
Hey, get lost kid, you're giving Tony the hump!
Sure is. A one-off too many
A one-off..one-off where?
Haven't you heard on the Citizen's charter?
Oh yeah, well you're the schmuck who bought it
Hey Tony, how you doing man?
One-off the back of your tee-shirt
Well thanks for the fashion lecture
Yeah, the boat leaves in an hour, be on it kid
Yeah, I've read the book
Love and peace! That never worked
Yeah, this ties as colourful as your lies
That's "War and Peace", numbskull
Don't knock it kid. The era brings back some fine memories
It's not as colourful as your face'll be if you don't beat it
The woman burnt their bras, men burnt their socks..
Yeah, thanks for the sales pitch. Catch you later
Yeah, I think I've read that too!
Sure, by Tolstoy! See, I've got the I.Q. of a genius
That's the way kid, you keep burning shoe leather, its good for business
You shouldn't think so much. You'll wear your brains out
Yeah, well maybe you should give it back
Yeah I can see the effect it's had on you
I'll bear that in mind. Catch you later
Ha ha. Real funny
Yo, Tony, you still got the hump with me?
Everyone loves a smart Alec. 'Cept me. Now beat it kid!
You're breaking my heart, kid
Use some initiative. That's what the game's all about
Gaultier must be quaking in his shorts. See you
Hey I never had it so good..Business was booming
Although I'm fresh outta brains
Couple o' tons of diamonds or maybe a few thousand Krugerrands
Hi there! How's it going?
Fine Bud, what can I get you?
Hey, how did you know my name's Bud?
I'd like a giraffe sandwich
Nothing thanks. I've got no money
Your name's Bud? I call everyone Bud
Well..Hey, it is a cool name!
That's a tall order, kid
No problem, the first one's on the house
Yeah sure..Then it's ninety dollars for the next..Right?
Got it in one Bud and you pay up or Vera gets to have a little fun
Dummy line
Can I ask you a few questions?
Here we go, another putz with a problem
Do you remember giving these matches to any one?
What can you tell me about Lola?
Have you ever seen this guy?
You wanna talk to Lola? Take a seat at an empty table. I'll send her over
Hey Bud! There's someone here to see you
Everyone with a problem spills his guts to the barman
I knew I should have taken that dead-end job as an undertaker
The customers never complain
Help! We're going down! Women and little guys first! Where's my life vest?
It's okay, dude. I couldn't wake you up
Who the Hell are you?
I'm Bud Tucker. Who the Hell are you?
I'm Bud Tucker. I've been thrown in here on a bum rap
Health Inspector. Roach Department. What are the roaches like?
Rottarod, come to fix your water leak!
I'm Pansy
Pansy?!?
Yeah and please, spare me the wise cracks. I've heard them all before
Your name came up while I was talking to someone
Oh, yeah, who?
Dave Van Gogh
Oh! Dave, right. Barryville's very own Salvador Dali
I'm in here 'cause the police are corrupt
Yeah, that's why I'm in here
You mean you're learning to be a corrupt police officer?
No! I'm doing time for something I didn't do
What was that?
I've heard that one before
What happened?
Dave looks like one weird dude
Well, you shouldn't watch so many old movies
I didn't run fast enough
I used to be a police informer, until that night at the warehouse, when
the Balooga Boys got the drop on me
Who are the Balooga Boys?
What happened at the warehouse?
Can you get me out of this place?
The Balooga Boys. The're a kind of freelance Mafia controlled by Tate
Who is this Tate guy I keep hearing about?
What's so special about Tate?
He's evil personified - Lord of Malice, Master of Lies
Tweaker of Kitten's Noses. He's trouble, kid
He practically owns Barryville. He's the lowest of the low
Like, how low's low?
About as low as the belly on a Vietnamese pot bellied pig
after a big bowl of swill
That's low! What sort of things does he do?
Rides buses without paying, runs up down escalators and down up escalators
takes library books back late
he's the greatest living threat to civilisation as we know it!
I heard there was some illegal stamp licking going on
I tried to find out what was happening and the Balooga Boys got wind of it
They roughed me up. Tate laid some bread on the Sarg
I ended up here, on a concocted charge
I could but...
Hey man , it's a matter of life and death
Okay, watch this. See, the Designers got really stuck
and couldn't come up with a way of getting you outta here
Yeah, I know. It's cheap. Like I give a rat's...
Yeah, you look like a bum
I guess that's a good reason to get locked up
I've heard there's mega corruption round here
Big, fat and ugly. They'll eat what ever's on offer
Get outta here!
I wish I could, buddy
Yeah, just like the dude that threw me in here
With talk like that, you'll be in here for a long time
Hey thanks Pansy I'm forever in your debt
Yeah right that's what they all say
Yeah, he's been warned about sniffing those paint fumes
Surreal isn't the word for that guy
As a friend of Dave's, could you get me out of here?
A fly
I'll bet you work with the SWAT team
Hey shorty where were you on the night of the eleventh?
Visiting my poor sick Grandma
Why, what's it to you?
Wow! I love a guy in uniform
The eleventh? It's only the tenth
A likely story. You punks don't deserve a Grandma
It was my birthday, I don't like people who forget my birthday
Don't get fresh. You're in enough trouble as it is
Well I'm a busy man. I like to stay ahead of crime
Hey not so fast! You're under arrest
Why? I'm completely innocent
You've got the wrong man
You've got me fair and square, copper
Which dirty rat squealed on me?
Hey punk, no-one's completely innocent
Short. Ugly. Breathe like a camel. I've got the right man
Haha! I knew it all along
Nobby the nark grasses on everyone
So why am I under arrest?
For malicious wearing of an unfashionable jacket..
For a blatant and quite vicious hairstyle..
The Babinger jewel job, and any other crimes we haven't solved yet..
What! But! I..
Oh yes and entering a strip joint underage. Spread 'em
Oh careful. That tickles
Right sonny. You're coming with me
What have we here Chuckney? He's a little young, isn't he?
He's a little young to be drinking at Big Al's
So, what's the charges? Under age drinking?
Under age drinking
Impersonating an adult
Grievous bodily odour
Wearing an offensive tie
Impersonating a pizza delivery boy
And soliciting Lola
I was only asking Lola about a friend who has gone missing
These charges are unreal! What's the real reason I've been arrested?
Why the charge of wearing an offensive tie?
Why ask Lola? Missing persons is our job
Yeah, but I didn't think it was a crime to ask questions
Stop your whining, kid. Chuckney, throw him in the slammer
Looks like you've thrown-up down the front of your T-shirt
That alone will cost you a night in jail. Lock him up Chuckney
Hold it! Hold it! Do you know a guy by the name of Dick Tate?
Watch your lip, kid. It's people like Mr Tate that's made Barryville great
Throw him in cell two Chuckney
Hi there, old-dude. I'm Bud Tucker. Can you help me?
I could, but as you can hear my stomach is empty
So, Royston when did you last eat?
This park is cool..
Have you got squatters?
Three, no! I tell a lie, it was four nights ago
Why are you living in that square old box?
There's no room in a triangle
Hmm, never thought of that. You do look in a sorry state
Yes I've had a hard life. I don't wish to be rude but what is your excuse?
The 90's culture shock
They say I look like my dad
Can you help me or not?
I got to be going, catch you later
Yes, it is somewhat of a shock isn't it
You have to move with the times Roy
Royston, the name is Royston. I dislike the shortening of names
How come?
I attended school with a boy named Fatridge Bumford
What did they shorten it to?
Oh, I despair at the youth of today..
I'm looking for a friend. Can you help?
The hunger pains are bad today
I haven't but, I may be able to get some. I'll see what I can do
BLANK
BLANK
At times master Tucker life can be cruel
Dumbo
Did not I say that life is cruel?
Yes, and I'd love to chat all day but I need to ask you some questions
It is often said the way to a man's brain is through his stomach
I thought it was through the top of his skull ?
BLANK
BLANK
I can not help myself. So I can not help you sir. If only I had some food
I'll see what I can do. Don't go away I'll be right back
I've no where to go. This is my home sir
Created by a wave of the Lord's hand. A grand place it is
Shame he didn't do a little more with your place
My treasures are in heaven not material things on this earth
Hey, can I ask you a few questions?
Not before I've eaten. Perhaps you have some food for me?
Sorry I don't
Then sadly you are out of luck young sir
No, it's just the grass is a little damp this morning
I heard there was a problem with homelessness in Barryville
Indeed. I have already received three eviction notices this week
No, I'm not from the Council. I just wanted to ask you a few questions
Is that food I hear rustling in your pocket?
No..It's just my pants are a little tight
If you could spare some food I would be eternally grateful
I'll be back!
Pardon?
That fish cake keeps repeating on me
and I can't think on an empty stomach
By the way, my name is Royston, young sir
It was the night I ate a fish cake. I remember it well
That fish cake keeps repeating on me
You haven't a little food to ease the pain have you young sir?
Tell me, what was your nickname at school?
I'll see if I can find something
Are you here to serve me a fourth?
Hi there Royston!
Hello good sir
Hello good sir. Ahh! What is that I smell?
Well, if it's not the flowers or food, one of us is in big trouble
That smell can only mean one thing..MOOooo!
Whoa you shouldn't eat so much beef dude
Can you help me? I'm looking for a friend of mine
What are you doing out here?
I haven't eaten beef for ages. In fact, I haven't eaten for ages
Sure, get stuck into this man
Thank you kind Sir. This should stem my hunger
The hunger pains are bad today
I may have something. Er..What was your name again?
The name is Royston
Starving young Sir. Starving
Quick, run for cover! It's an earthquake!
Have you had beans for your supper?
No, it's the sound of hunger, young sir. I haven't eaten in days
Master Tucker returns. Ahh! What is that I smell?
Hi there, old-dude. I'm Bud Tucker. Can you help me?
You haven't a little something to eat have you?
Please come into my home and we will talk
You haven't a little food to ease the pain, have you young sir?
Have you any food?
Hi there Royston!
Are you still hungry?
Ah, Mr Popplewick. Salutations and greetings...
You fiend! I'll never talk..
It is nigh on three summers since I saw you last...
I won't talk I tell you..
Pray tell what brings you to old London town...
Professor. We have been patient so far but you are running out of time
Now tell me and tell me quickly. How do you turn on the machine?
I won't tell. I won't be part of your nefarious plans
Very well if you won't cooperate you leave me with little choice
Norris show the professor your holiday snaps
Ur, sure thing, boss. This is me on the beach next to the sea
on the sand and this is an ice cream cone what I had and this is...
That's horrible. And surely physically impossible?
That's nothing. Watch this...
Oh that's worse. Oh dear this is really too much...
Hur you ain't seen nothing yet...
Professor, you are only making things worse for yourself
Oh no Bud! They've captured you as well!
Who me Bud? I think you've got the wrong guy!
Norris, secure that midget, and prepare him for his fate
Now his diminutive assistant has arrived
I think we can expect some co-operation from our friend the professor
Beryl unleash the aardvark
Egbert prepare the ant costume, teenager size I think
Gulp!
Hey..It's a Picasso. Or is it a Rembrandt? Or maybe a Monet? Hi I'm Bud
Hi, Dave, how's life in the art world?
Oy! Don't you know high class art when you see it?
Fine, thanks Bud
I'm looking for a friend. Have you seen him?
Bloomin 'eck! A missing Bosch!
Who's the best person to ask?
I've noticed you're ambidextrous
Have you ever painted anyone in the nude?
Thanks a lot, pal. Been good talking to you
Not me, that's for sure
Don't worry, it's not contagious
No. I prefer to keep my socks on. Cops still arrested me
You're a real mine of information
You must see lots of people while you work
Nice of you to say so. Marty, the barman's the man to ask..
Big Al's Bar
But..I..
Yep! I am a mind reader
Wow..T..
No problem. You're welcome
The place ain't got no atmosphere. Couldn't wait to get back
This is an original one-off Dave Van Gogh masterpiece
I live to work, and work to live. I don't notice people
Hey man, isn't that taking things a bit far?
Oy! Alaska's a bit far, and the moon's even further!
So, you're an astronomer, as well as a painter?
Ever been there?
Yeah, and so cold
I'm a typical Pisces
I'm sorry?
I said astronomer!
Oh, sorry I only half heard you.
Hardly surprising with a name like Van Gogh
Yeah, I spent a few days there last week
You can sun bathe on the warm side
I was talking about Alaska
How come you're painting with both hands?
No, but rubella is
I'm giving my feet a rest. Big Al's was full last night. I couldn't get a seat
So, you know Big Al's?
Doesn't everyone?
So are computer games
You play computer games?
The police must be pretty heavy round here?
Indecent exposure?
Yeah, and corrupt. My mate Pansy Sharp found out the hard way
Under exposure
I call it "Fence in Yellow"
Where can I find Pansy?
In the slammer
Yo, Dave! How about a favour?
Awright Bud! what can I do for you?
Lend me 1,000 Dollars
I need a paint-job
Course, just as soon as I sell this piece I've just painted
You what?
Can you paint this waterproof rain thingy for me?
Van Gogh's the name and painting's my game. What colour would like it?
What colours have you got?
Pink with little green dots
Any colour you like, old son. As long as it's yellow
That'll do nicely. Thanks
How about yellow with yellow dots?
Who's the Neanderthal over there?
The barman asked Vince, "Do you want a drink?"
Ha..Ha..Ha. That's Vera you're talking about
What kind of name's that for a guy?
Does anyone ever get in that club?
What's his day job?
Thanks for the chat old boy! Tootle pip! Must dash!
We'll I'm not going to ask him. Are you?
I could tell you a story about that
I'm all ears!
I thought you were a painter?
Ha..Ha..Ha..
What's so funny?
My uncle Vince, Vince Van Gogh that is, went into Big Al's
Yeah, I tell my stories by pictures
He's an equal opportunities officer
Well, there's nothing equal about Vera
Don't you need a brain for a job like that?
I've heard enough. I'm outta here
Course there is His I.Q. is equal to his age
Gosh, you're so English
Only the coolest of the cool
Apparently not
Vince replied, "No, I've got one ear"
Who's Pansy Sharp?
You don't wanna mess with Pansy, mate
Hi, there. Dig the tunes, dude
Say what?
Can you turn the music down?
Yeah man, get down! You got the rhythm boy
Hi buddy, how you doing?
Grooving, bro woah!
The name's Bud. Can you help me out?
Well, what's cooking my man, you looking for some tunes?
I'm looking for a friend of mine
Cooking? It's that chick's perfume. Who is she?
Do I sound like I've got a cold?
That music's so loud you'll end up deaf
What can you tell me about Dick Tate?
Yeah? So, what's the dude look like?
Skinny, round glasses, white coat. He's a professor
Professor?
Yeah
So the dude's got brains?
Phd Science grade D
Yeh loads of them squashed into his head
Grade D! Hahaha, I got seven Grade A's man. That's why I'm called Dr7
Then what are you doing working in a record shop?
Freedom baby. To play what I like when I like
What type of music do you like?
Do you do any DJ work?
You got wax in your ears boy?..Soul, Rhythm and Blues, Motown
Must be hard getting those old records
Yeah but I pay good price for good music
Do you buy old records?
What do you call a good price?
Depends on what you got to sell, you got something to sell boy?
That depends on the price

Hey it was worth a try. See you round
Tricky Dicky? Yeah I know that dude
What can you tell me about him?
He's the nicest man you never wanna meet
Who is he like a godfather or something?
Is kidnapping his thing?
Godfather. Godzilla. He's one mean mother. The guy's got no moral
Take my advice kid, don't mess with Tate. He'll eat you for breakfast
I get the feeling when I find Tate, I'll find the professor
You take care, bro. If I were you I'd forget it
Thanks buddy
Hey Doc 7, how's it going man?
Cool my man, just cool. How's it hanging?
Well I'm still looking for my friend the Professor

There's only three still in existence
Hello there. What can I do for you, young sir?
I'm just window shopping
How much is that Photo machine?
Have you ever seen this guy?
Thanks for the chat. I gotta go
Sorry son, we don't sell windows here
So what do you sell?
That's good. Never heard that one before
SCUBA diving equipment
Well I can't see any SCUBA equipment!
Good Lord, what has that salesman given me!
I've got loads more like that. Want to hear another?
No thanks. All the laughing's bad for my blood pressure
It's not for sale
Why not?
Well, what's it doing here?
Because it's not, okay?
Hey haven't you heard of the expression the customer's always right?
Yes
Chill-out, dude, I just wondered what the machine was doing here
It's just sitting there, doing nothing in particular
Does it work?
Silly place to have a photo machine
Yes, if you've got money
Not as silly as a train station or post office
Hey, can I have that photo?
What for?
I want to use it to frighten children
Look this is serious. Have you ever seen this guy?
Nope! Why don't you ask Lola?
Lola?
Thanks but I already did
Yes, the lovely young lady from Big Al's. Remember her?
I thought you looked flushed
I might just do that. Thanks for the info
And the last guy who told me that is still playing the piano with his ears
Hello can I help you?
Hey, could I get some service here?
Certainly sir. You want fries with your burger?
I don't want fries, thanks
Funny, I don't feel hungry anymore thanks
Hold the mayonaisse. I'm outta here
Well, what do you want?
Some information please
An alligator sandwich and make it snappy
Cold fries and a burger that tastes like rubber
I'm sorry sir, that's not on the menu
Neither's bad service, but you still expect to get it
Do you ever get angry customers in here?
Yes sir, what we expect and what we get are usually very different
Ain't that the truth..
Thank you sir. What do you want to know?
Do you know a guy by the name of Dick Tate?
You haven't seen this guy in here have you?
No, who's he?
If I knew who he was I wouldn't be asking you, would I?
Well sir I don't know. Would you?
I'd like to thank you for your invaluable help. But I won't
Well sir with all these burgers flying about we tend to keep our heads down
Yeah, I've heard of fast food but this is ridiculous
I'm sorry sir. The machine's gone crazy. If you catch one it's yours
You mean like that movie where the guy flips his lid?
Yeah the reason for that was all a bit lost on you, wasn't it..
Well could you see what he was mad at?
Gee you're kind of French Fry Freud aren't you?
I'm sorry sir, we're out of bread
I'm sorry sir, we don't do cold fries and rubber burgers
You did last week
Nothing, I've got to split
Thanks pal, I'm outta here
Yo! Are you a dental practitioner?
No, I'm a plumber in disguise. What do you want?
Can you check my teeth please?
I've got a plumbing job for you at the jail
Doesn't all this screaming put you off being a dentist?
I can't stand the sight of blood. I'm outta here
Why? I think they look OK white
Hey, a dentist with a sense of humour
Hmm a small child with impacted molars. Now what do ya want?
I've always wanted to be a dentist
Has this guy ever been in here?
What kind of anaesthetic do you use?
Me too!
Holy nipple clamps! The last time I saw teeth like that
Anaesthetic? What's that?
Oh?
Yeah, Pansy's sprung a leak
Have you been at my embalming fluid, boy?
Ah, the sweet suffering..Music to my ears, boy..Music to my ears
You know, you're pretty sick?
So you like music?
Yes! They call my brother Dick sick. We're the sick Twins
Don't tell me you've got a twin brother?
Dick? Are you talking about Dick Tate?
Yes. He's forty, and I'm thirty-six
Yes. Do you know Dick?
Not personally. How do you know him?
We go shooting together on Sunday afternoons
What do you shoot?
Where do you go shooting?
Usually each other
At Tate's secret base
Where's that?
That, my dear boy, is a secret
Listen, boy, I'm trying to have some fun here..
Can't you see I'm busy?
the blacksmith was fitting a new set of shoes to the horse!
Hey Del, what's cooking?
Hey shifty. How's it going?
Hey! It's the guy with the fashion problem
Whatta you on about? The name's Del, Del E. Gate
Have you seen my friend the Professor?
Yeah sure I'm always talking to eggheads, whatsee look like?
Egghead? I hope you're yolking!
Glasses. Lab coat. That sort of thing
Oh just your average mad professor
Yeah kid I know how to crack 'em
Yeah! So you have seen him?
The type that pirouettes over the tightrope of sanity?
Horn rimmed?
That's right!
Hmmm..A horn rimmed lab coat. What about his glasses?
Sorry kid I can't help you right now, but I am expecting
a consignment of slightly shop soiled architects. You interested?
I don't think so somehow. Thanks anyway
Are you some sort of salesman?
Am I some sort of salesman? Listen kid I won the "Black
Marketeer of the Year" award three times in a row!
What do the awards look like?
Is that something to be proud of?
How did you get nominated?
It's a Golden stocking atop a genuine Siberian watch
Are they valuable?
I didn't realise they made watches there
Are you really sure about this?
Sure. That's what I'll tell the mug who buys one
Say how would you like..
Er..is that the time. Bye!
Yeah and if it gets above freezing they melt
Isn't that a little impractical?
So how do you tell the time?
Not if you live in Siberia
With the optional extra batteries not included patented
fully guaranteed no purchase necessary twenty eight days
delivery portable cryogenic pack with separate mains lead
I'm sorry I asked. See you round
No, you're right kid. I'm just a compulsive liar
But you'd probably guessed being so intelligent and handsome
What? You really think so?
No..Sorry kid I couldn't help myself there
Yeah thanks a bunch
No worries kid it's all part of the service
Yeah my old Ma was tickled pink
And if you don't?
Hey what is this? Twenty Questions?
Sorry. I guess I'll go now
You mean you have a mother?
Isn't that illegal?
Hey kid, did I just smell the faintest whiff of sarcasm?
It was merely an enquiry into anthropological matters
Neat patter Kid. I could use an assistant with
the gift of the gab. Howdya fancy it?
Maybe when I've found my friend
Well I'll keep the vacancy open then
Only in certain states. And only then if it involves
more than two startled penguins
Oh..
And only then if one is a qualified country dancer
But..
And if the other once knew a postman with a lisp
You're making this up. Aren't you?
Hey Mendacity is my middle name
I thought your middle name began with an E?
I guess you'll never learn kid
Gee thanks for the education
You do good deals and people notice. Who else could
convince the owner of an aquarium that his life is
incomplete without a gross of slightly bent egg whisks?
What did he do with them?
Isn't that immoral?
Hey kid! Do you think I lost any sleep over that?
Well sharks never sleep do they?
Yep that's right kid. You're starting to get there
Thanks for the education. Catch you later!
I don't know the meaning of the word
Why not?
All the pages from herring to kamikaze are missing from my dictionary
Well..Immoral means without scruple..
Hey spare me the English lesson and I'll spare you
the Physical Education
Okay I'll go now. Catch you later
Yeah! Can't wait
Hello, Ma'am
Miss! Miss Putty, but you can call me Mary
Right, hello Mary. I'm Bud Tucker
Bud Tucker, what a sweet name for such a sweet boy
I'm looking a friend of mine. Have you seen him?
What do you know about Dick Tate?
What can you tell me about Pansy?
Hmmm..He looks like some sort of professor
He's a missing professor. I'm trying to find him
Have you tried the erm..Police?
Yeah, and I found them guilty
Yeah, but I prefer Gangster Rap, thanks
Some of those officers are adorable
Look Mrs...
Miss!
Okay..Miss. Can you help me or not?
Certainly I can. Why not try the university erm..lavatory?
Have you seen the professor there?
Okay. Where's the university?
What makes you say that?
That's where professors go, isn't it?
Yes but..I'm not looking for any old professor I'm looking
Why not give it a try dear?
Where is Barryville's university?
University?
Senile dementia!
Oh, yes, I went there once for a holiday. What a lovely place
Me too! Although I could never get used to all the swearing
Yeah, they do use some pretty darned harsh language. About my friend?
We can't all be good at everything can we?
You can say that again
I thought this was a tourist information shop?
That again. Feel better now, do we?
The lights are on, but there's no one at home
That's right dear. Would you like to see the sights?
I think I've seen enough, thanks
Quite a lot actually
Such as?
Office managers dictate to their secretaries at the rate of 250 WPM
260 WPM actually
Do you know Dick Tate, or not?
Call me a liar for 10 words per minute
Yes, he's that nice young man who works in the post office
They made a thing called fire
So, where is the post office?
Several Thousand years later we still have little sticks
Right next to the University
but they have a red bit on the end and they're called matches
How can I help you dear?
Spring perennial plant. It's companions include forget-me..somethings..
Yes dear?
Sorry, I'm in the wrong place
What can you tell me about these matches?
Well, it started off with two cave men rubbing sticks together
Okay, Okay. I understand and thanks for the history lesson
Hello Mary
Barryville doesn't have a University dear but we've got a bus-stop
Bye
for my professor
So. It's you again, what you hanging around for kid?
I heard the alarm and came to help
You really do have an attitude problem
I've got nothing better to do
You? Help? Right, and pigs might fly
So, you've got your pilots licence then?
Look kid, I knew you were trouble the first time I saw you. Now beat it!
If you don't get out of here you'll have a kick inna pants problem. Now scram!
Man, this hero business is hard work
I'm giving you the Spanish archer. Now move it
The Spanish archer! What's that?
El Bow! Now, get out of my shop
Yo. Mr Pastry, how's it going?
Hey, it's a pizza-faced kid
How's it going, baker-dude?
I make a living
I'm looking for my friend, the professor..
Have you tried the Department of Missing Persons
The Dog Pound?
Do you know a place called Big Al's Bar?
I did but there was no one there
I never gave it a thought. Thanks!
Yeah, you'd be surprised at what turns up there
Yeah, why do you ask?
Yeah, well they were probably all out looking for each other
Look! have you seen the professor?
They wouldn't have the professor anyway, he's got a pedigree
Are you sure about all this?
Holder of the University Chair, University Teacher of high rank
one who makes profession of religion, that sort of professor?
No, an eccentric professor of from Muddy Creek
Ah, you mean the Professor!
You've seen him!?!
No
Are you sure? There's all sorts at the pound
Such as?
Blood Hound, Basset Hound, Beagle Hound, Deer Hound, Shih Tzu..
Shih Tzu?
Gesundheidt
Well, thanks for everything. Goodbye
Isn't this a little bit silly?
So you haven't seen the Professor?
Hey, kid, they said the Chocolate Tea-pot would never catch on
Errrmmmm....No
Right, thanks for your time. Catch you later
As sure as night follows day. Or is it day follows night?
How do you know about the dog pound?
So what about the professor?
You've been a great help. Goodbye
When I was a baby I was found by a dog warden tied to a French Poodle
That's terrible
Yeah, we all got our troubles. Mine's the stupid name I was given
So, what is your name?
That's a cool story
I think I'll go now..
Lamppost Fouler
That's awful
Sure. But at least my name doesn't sound like a rude anagram
Yeah, and not a word of it was true
What none of it?
Nope. Not a single, solitary, standing-all-alone-by-itself-in-the-corner word
Is he a short guy, looks a like a bulldog chewing a wasp?
Not exactly...
Pity, I saw somebody like that half an hour ago
Where did you see him? In the mirror shaving?
Boy, he must have been ugly...
Push off kid, I've got dough to pound into submission
Ugly? Ugly? Kid, he was curdling my custard!
I found these matches, I want to find the place they came from
I'm looking for someone named Lola...
Big Al's is just around the corner. Lola works there
So you know Lola?
Doesn't everyone!
Is there any special place the might meet up?
Do they know who they're looking for?
Yeah, Big Al's bar, in Seedy Street
Thanks, catch you later
Don't be silly, that's why they're Missing Persons
Yeah, thanks. I'll be on my way then
the Yellow Pages or the Dog Pound?
Aarrgh! Call the Fire Department! Fire! Fire!
I couldn't believe how ugly you were, so I came for a second look
I've spoken to guy named Tony - the guy with the Brooklyn accent
Do you sell sticky buns?
You look more like a Coal man than a baker
Look who's talking. You're not bad looking. For a boxer!
Yeah, you look like you've used you face to put out a thousand fires
A thousand sticky buns, maybe!
By the smell of you, you could sure use a bath!
So, do you have sticky buns?
I've got buns in the oven. That's what you can smell
Sure I sell sticky buns. Best in Barryville
So what. Everyone's got an Brooklyn accent
In Brooklyn maybe. But we're not in Brooklyn
We're not?!? I've got to keep off that cooking sherry!
Does the Pope drive a funny little car that looks like a greenhouse?
Yeah! He must be the first Pope to go green
In more ways than one
So how much are your sticky buns?
Can I have a sticky bun please?
One hundred bucks, kid
Sure if you've got a hundred bucks
My bread bin's empty!
So, you've got no dough. Tough!
Most people in Barryville have two jobs
So, you have a part-time job as a coal man?
What's your other job?
You greedy swine
No. I'm doing an impersonation of Al Jolson. I'm his official stand in
I'm an actor. You've probably seen me in the theatre
Yeah. Selling ice cream during the intermission
Listen, bubble brain, you're getting on my nerves. So beat it!
This conversation's stupid. I'm outta here
Great!
How's it going, baker-dude?
I make a living
Hi there! What's going down?
What? Who said that?
It's Bud. Bud Tucker
Bud Tucker? What were your parents then? Comedians?
I'm looking for my friend the professor
What's that you're reading?
Is this the museum?
No. They were lion tamers
Yeah well. He ain't around here
How can you tell from behind there?
Are you sure you haven't seen him
Yeah? Thanks for your help
Strange and eldritch psychic powers. That's how
Yeah. Sure. Psychic powers
Right. Thanks for nothing
See. I knew you'd be cynical
Okay then. What colour is my jacket?
Black
Black? Not even close
Yeah but you haven't had that accident with the barrel of oil yet
I give up
Yeah. I knew you were going to say that too
Look there's all kinds of people pass this way. Short people. Tall people
People with baby people. People with people off to see people
And people like you asking about other people
But there's been no professor people. None whatsoever
Gee you're really a people person aren't you?
No. Can't stand them
Well thanks for your time. Catch you later
Well let me think. It says museum on the door. So..
So?
So I guess this must be the museum
Hey thanks for your help. Catch you later
Lion tamers?
Yeah. In a travelling circus. But they had to give it up
Oh?
After placing his head in a lion's mouth
My Dad discovered that one of the clowns had fed it garlic
He wasn't the same after that
Hey you've just made that up. Haven't you?
Yeah 'cause I'm the comedian in the family
Very funny
Hey! I try
A very interesting article on the uses of antelope nose hair
I'm afraid to ask
Antelope nose hair?
I don't want to hear this. See you later
And well you should be. It's not for young ears
Thanks for the warning
Oh yes. A very versatile material is antelope nose hair
You know they can weave it together
and it'll produce a rope that'd stop an aircraft carrier
Uhm..
But it's so soft and warm as well
In fact I'm wearing a cardigan made out of antelope nose hair wool
and I'm as warm as a new born kitten
So tell me. Where did you escape from?
What's it to you?
Future reference
Hey there. It's me again
Go away I'm reading and I ain't got time to talk to the likes of you
What do you want? Applause?
Hi big guy! How's it hanging?
Big guy? My name's Vera
Hi Vera, how's tricks?
Vera only know one trick. Called Disappearing Boy trick
So, is this where the action takes place?
Yeah, action for members only!

So, how do I become a member?
Make boy into pretty little Christmas tree. Then beat boys brains out
Sorry to bother you. Catch you later
No dibs, no dobs. Vera don't let in yobs!
How about if I grease your palm?
I've got to meet the President inside
Thanks for the scintillating dialogue. Later

Would Bud Tucker do that?
Do you think I'd mock the afflicted?
People do anything to see Lola
Vera only understand small words
I need to see Lola
No member, no Lola. Vera black belt in Origami. If boy not push off
Vera need blood sample
But I'm a Jehovah's Witness
No problem, I'll pick a fight inside
But I..I've only got eight pints
Boy witness kick in backside if he not stop asking questions
Vera don't need that much blood
Well if boy gives Vera one, boy be left with...urm...five. And a half
Surely, there's another way I can get in ?
Fire exit locked. Maybe boy make Vera laugh with funny joke. Vera like jokes
Okay..A boy asks his dad "Where's the Alps?"
Erm..How do you stop moles from digging up your garden?
Okay..How do you make an elephant fly?

Enough about friends, what about the Professor?
I don't need this abuse. Catch you later!
Huh! Vera thought boy tells lies
Honest! I'd swear on a stack of Bibles
Look, about the Professor..
Swearing very bad. Swearing at Bible very, very bad
Er..Look, gotta go, I've got a three minute egg on the boil
Is boy's friend a member?
I wouldn't think so. He probably couldn't cope with your witty repartee
Vera not like big words. Big words make Vera feel sick
Repartee's not that big a word
No, but think is
Boy want to see doctor about that
Which doctor?
Look about my friend the professor..
Vera don't mess with Voodoo stuff

Wow. What a talent...
Has boy not heard baker song?
What song is that?
"Baker, baker, show us your legs." You mean that song?
"Who ate all the pies, who ate all the pies?"
No! Baker not seen his legs since he was ten
Yeah, well, I've got to split "V"

Look this isn't a long story is it?
Ah it can be as long as the ocean's wide
Right well is that the time?
Ah can't the Captain tell the short version?
The one that only takes an afternoon?
Hey I'm sure it's riveting but I'll catch it later
Ah the Captain sells everythin' a salty sea dog would

Ahoy there Captain!
What? Captain? Where? I'm just Billy
Hey aren't you the Captain?
He's behind you
Who me? I'm just an apprentice
An apprentice? At your age?
It takes a lifetime's experience to be a fisherman
I mean it takes years just to knit the chunky jumpers
My Uncle Albert was eighty two
when he finally finished his apprenticeship
Really. This is fascinating
Hey! No time to chat. Catch you later
Honestly? Would you like to hear a tale about my cruel mistress..
The sea?
Er..Maybe later. Much later
Oh go on. I've learnt them all. Stories about big fish
Small fish. Petulant fish. Fish who don't return your calls
Hey. You know I'll catch them all later
There's nothing behind but nasty smelly slimy nets
Nasty slimy nets? You can't be much of a fisherman
Er no. I really wanted to be an accountant
All those lovely figures. Spreadsheets. Double entry book keeping
Debiting. Crediting. Oh makes my heart sing just to think
of such things
Right. Yes. I can understand that
I'm looking for my friend. Have you seen him?
Friend? We fisherfolk don't have much time to socialise
The only living thing I've talked to in nigh
on forty days was an overfriendly haddock
Hey those are the breaks. Thanks anyway
Do you have a warehouse security pass?
I do. All Tate employees have one
So could I get a job on your boat?
I'm not sure I'd want to work for Tate
Hey thanks for the information
Why not? There's plenty of perks when you work for Tate
Such as?
I'm sure there are but I'm not interested

Hey it's sorted already
And there's the fishing rod. A fishermen's got to have a fishing rod
Yeah no problem
And there's the waterproof
You can't be a fisherman without a yellow waterproof rain thingy
Hmmm..Okay
And finally there's the fish identification book
Very important your fish identification book
Can't catch something if you don't know what it looks like
So if I get all these I'll be a fishermen?
I don't see why not. It worked for me
Hold onto your sou'wester I'll be right back
(SIGHS) That's what they all say
You can!
No. Of course not
Hey Billy. What fishing gear do I need?
Look. It's easy. Fishing rod
Yellow waterproof rain thingy. Book of fish..

Not yet Billy
Then hurry sailor for we leave on the morning tide
Hey Billy I've got some of the stuff I need
You can't be a fishermen without all the gear
So can I still have a job?
Nope. When you've got all the gear. Many's the..Many's the..
Many's the sailor who never came back because he just
weren't properly prepared
Okay. I'll be right back
Um..
Whoa! He's older than Methusala's jockey shorts!
Hey! What're you up, you varmit? Tryin' to steal somethin'?
What do you take me for?
I was only looking. It is a museum
I thought I'd look at some old relics
Well sonny..Ah reckon a midget with zits 'bout fits the bill
Hey! Don't get personal. You got a problem pal?
Yeah well..that's the trouble
What's the trouble?
What're you trying to say?
Hey, gotta go! Later!
Lookin' after these here exhibits in the exhibition
Why is that a problem?
See the star exhibit sonny?
Yeah
Ah've bin watchin' over that 24 hours a day. I ain't had no shut eye
Is it very valuable?
Roller skates aren't a fashion disaster
Well you were asleep when I came in here
Okay, I'll catch you later!
Not in bucks, but to them there train spotters
Hey, man, that is rare!
Now leave me be sonny. Ahm busy
I'll catch you later, old-dude
BLANK
They were when I wore them
Yeah I could imagine that. Catch you later
Yeah sure
Yeah, I was having this dream where I was on one of them there vacations..
Dream on dude!
I reckon I don't know. Give me a clue
Forget it
Forget what?
Everything
Yeah, and you can look but don't touch. And no sniffin' the whale!
Sniffing the whale...?
Yeah, we've already worn out three this week
Why don't you go back to sleep?
Who'se the head honcho there?
How long have you worked here?
Okay, I'll let you get back to sleep
Sleep! Chance would be a fine thing
Barryville City Council
Who's the top man there?
Mr Tate, who else
I can't seem to escape that name
Ah guess ah've always been here. Mah mummy's over there
Yeah, well I've seen loads of mummies in museums but no daddies
Sonny, that joke's so old we've got it on display with the dinosaurs
And ah'll be the last, if yer keep yakkin' like that
Sorry if I've disturbed you
Well it's a lot of good being sorry. Ah'll never get back to sleep now
it's like..like..something really rare
Tell me about the roller skates
Ah'd keep quiet about them sonny
They'se 'bout the most embarrasin' thing a critter could ever wear
with Barbara Bush. And Nancy Reagan. Phewee! Dang nabbit!
Hey wake up. I want to talk!
Mutter..mumble..mutter
Hey! I guess he's out for the count
Hi, there. How you doing?
I've never seen you before. What are you doing around here?
I'm looking for a friend of mine
I'd like a job as a fisherman
I was wondering, what's in the warehouse?
Nothing, just looking at the boats
Hey! I've just remembered something! Gotta go!
What's your friends name?
Professor Goonhilly
Er..Pro..Professor Goonhilly?. N..No..No professors around here
Are you sure about that?
N..N..Nervous, me? Ha ha ha! That's not nerves it's fish fever
Fish fever? What's that?
Like who?
Thanks! Catch you later
Well, you know hay fever?
Yeah
It's a bit like that but it smells
Oh..Right
Try the crew on the trawlers
Who's in charge on the trawlers?
Billy Dosser
Billy Dosser? What sort of name's that?
What does this guy look like?
It's a name fit for a hero
And does he look the heroic type?
He looks like a fisherman, direct from central casting
Okay, thanks
You a fisherman! Ha Ha Billy would use you for bait
Billy Dosser? Who's he?
He's the head crewman on the trawlers
Well, it's a good job you're a security guard and not a fisherman
Lucky for you I'm not a fisherman!
Who's your cousin, the doorman at Kindergarten?
I'll bet you still suck your thumb
People around here are so violent
No, the bouncer at Big Al's
Right, so intellect is a family trait?
No. We've never had our photograph taken together
Why is that? Camera shy? Ha Ha Ha!
I guess cameras with panoramic views weren't invented
Beat it kid, or you'll wind up as fish bait
Hey better fish food than fish face
You'll be chewing my fist if you don't get lost
It's a violent world kid. Now beat it
Hey, I've just remembered I've left the gas on. Catch you later
Nothing that would interest you lad. Mr Tate stopped the guided tours
Well, I am an employee
Lets see your security pass then
Maybe later
You'd better move along lad. Mr Tate doesn't like people snooping around
Why's that? Got something to hide has he?
I'm not snooping around. I'm boat spotting
Mr Tate's a good man
Take it easy dude, I was only asking
Yeah, I think you've asked enough questions for one day
Boat spotting?
Yeah, that's similar to train spotting but more boring
Sure, like watching paint dry..
Counting the grains of sand on the beach..
The blades of grass at the park..
The leaves on a tree..
The moon on a sunny day..
This conversation
The sta...You what!
Sheesh, what a bozo! I'm outta here
Hi, It's me again
I can see that. What do you want?
I've got to get something from the warehouse
I've told you once you can't get in without a..
Okay, wise guy. Go on in.
You know I just love it when a plan comes together
You sounded pretty nervous when I mentioned his name...
Why don't you ask someone else?
He does all the hiring and firing for Mr Tate, but he hires men not boys
Now watch your lip kid or..I'll get my cousin
That's why I'm here. The only people allowed in are employees
and if you know what's good for you you'll show some respect
Hey! How's it going
You again..And they said it would be exciting being a security guard
I'd enjoy bashing your head against the side of a boat
Can I get in the warehouse?
I've told you before. There's nothing in there
Now hop it while you still can
Yeah well, I was getting bored anyway
Wow! This place is larger than the Taj Mahal!
Yes, I need the space for my bits and bobs
Thanks I just love looking through junk..Er sorry..Bits and bobs
Please be my guest
What's the story on the elephant?
You must be lonely living by your self?
How did you get this great big box?
Right thanks, catch you later
Fido, was a close and trusted friend. Sad. Very sad
I thought you said I could have what I like?
That is true my good friend
It's a good job you didn't try for children
What about the Wellington boot?
And why might that be?
I despair for the youth of yesterday..
It belonged to a one legged gardener, who suffered from athletes foot
What about the crown?
How about the old woman or the box?
The crown..That was placed in my possession by an overthrown King
Are you sure you're not making all this up?
As sure as that painting is the Mona Lisa
That's not the Mona Lisa!
I never said I was an art expert
Do you want the painting?
No
Then can I have it?
I'm looking after it for someone. Sorry
Alas, the box belongs to the old woman
What did the old lady keep in the box?
Then how did you come by the painting?
I'll bet you're looking after that lobster pot for Moby Dick?
Her antique mango collection! Would you like to see it?
No thanks
The director used my home to store things
Hitchcock?
Bless you
No. I found that pot one night last week. Strange that..
What was so strange?
I heard truck just outside the park, and voices two male and one female
And?
I saw a large truck driving away and this pot must have fallen off
So, it fell of the back of a truck?
Yes. One can only guess that the truck came from the docks
Gee, thanks. I prefer lobsters to crabs
Not really
Why not?
I talk to myself
Do you answer yourself?
Do you think I am mad?
Er..Er..No. Not at all. I talk to myself all the time
I used to teach origami for outward bound
That's fine but what if it rains?
I'm an expert at papier mache
Hasta La Vista, useless-junk-collection-dude
Right thanks. Catch you later
I would like to repay you for the food that you gave to me
Look around, see if there is anything that may be of use to you
Fido must have been the only African elephant to ever die Bungee Jumping
I loved that elephant, we'll never be parted
Would you be so cruel as to part a lonely man from his one and only true love?
Every time I look at that Wellington it makes me laugh
I couldn't part with that
Hey I can understand that
King Fanto Magumba Olager
Strange name for a man considering he was born in Croydon
Never the less, I gave him my word that I would keep the crown
and should he return to power one day I would return it to him
who was squashed when Fido was Bungee Jumping. In her day she was a star
She appeared in a film called "The Cute Bunnies Have a Nice Picnic"
The painting was a prop in the film
which was financed by King Fanto Magumba Olager
The film so frightened his people they throw him out of the country
Then I heard shouting. I went to look
That's the only place where lobster pots can be found
You can have it if you wish
Have you seen this person?
Have you seen my friend the professor?
Hey! Lola's matches from Big Al's bar
This should help me find my way around
It's a bar of Sud-U-Like soap. My favourite!
Ouch! They're not as safe as they look
They're alright if you pull them quickly
The Gidyun book of fish. There's one in every hotel room
It's the Daily Yak
The tastiest sticky bun I've ever seen
Just an average iron bucket
I should catch something with this
Mmmmm! Made with 100% something or other
Billy G's Sounds of the Seventies! Cool!
A genuine Barryville dollar piece
I'd hate to imagine what these were used for
Lobsters really live in these things?
I think it's smiling at me
Hey! Aren't branches fractal objects or something?
It's twice as long as half it's length
Fashion disaster alert!
Well it's an improvement I suppose
Boudicea's skates. You can see where the wheel spikes went
A commemoration of Olaf Particle and his wrestling prawns
This is great for executive stress relief
A teabag that is completely water proof. Neat!
You could use this to see in the dark
It's a good likeness but not of me
Not bad huh? 10 out 10 for inventiveness
The tropical chainsaw fish. A very rare species
Just an average iron bucket..With water in
This should get me places
I'll treasure this for ever and ever
This is not your ordinary everyday digital watch
I guess it's some kind of electronic key
This smells of rum. No wonder that guy was asleep
It's empty now. Oh well
You know this reminds me of my old headmaster
Bertrand Tepid "Gargles Beethoven's greatest hits". Cool
It has state of the art buttons and things but no battery
Well the tape doesn't appear to be turning..
It's working but there's still something missing
Testing. One. Two. Hey it works!
I wonder if someone actually has a nose like this?
Here's the key to a cupboard. It's a cupboard key
This is a safe key. But safe from what?
I've never seen a Dug dance. This should be good
Wow a pink thing! This'll replace my blue thing
I can only think of a few uses for one of these
Well it's a certainly a lot smaller
It's power to the people
It's tuned to the weather station
Without batteries? It won't work
It's a space hopper with a deflated ego
We could go places with this
The hula girl pizza company. The're my rivals!
One of these rang me once. It was a crank call
Pink chewing gum? Who left this here?
I hope I never meet the owner of this
Hey! This is almost as sharp as me
A can of my least favourite beverage
Hmm now what could we use this for?
I'd like to see the chopper fly without this
A washer handcrafted in solid steel
The cuckoo seems to have fled the nest
Shhh you shouldn't disturb nesting birds
A fanless fan? Very useful
Hey how ingenious!
Who makes these things?
Now what could I use these for?
Glue that'll stick anything, can I get the top off?
A scared chicken isn't that an oxymoron or something?
These were gloves at first sight
Nail. Nine inches. What else do you need to know?
The greatest roller skate ever made. Honest
I really don't think it would suit
There's a head shaped dent in it
These look familiar
I've always wondered why they call it pool
A stick of white chalk. This reminds me of school
Big. Red. Full of Air. Just like an old teacher of mine
You know what they say about cuckoos? No me neither
You ever wondered about the size of my pockets?
I don't think Ms. Cluck is going to miss this
What's with all this unstylish clothing?
A clothes peg? Well it could prove useful
Don't fish ever use deodorant?
And people wear these as trousers?
Don't they usually flock together?
Don't eat it! I don't want to go to that dentist
Hey! Now I'm a real yuppy
I wonder what's happening in the world?
It's a complimentary book of matches
A medicine cabinet of curiosities
Hey! A tea-chest of drawers!
I don't think it's been washed in months
Yuk! It has more rings than Saturn
*R
I wouldn't want to sleep in that
It seems happy, but you can never tell with elephants
An original copy of some guy's painting
I'm sure something moved in there
She's probably been here for years
An ancient ceremonial crown of kings long gone
*E
There's some tempting wares on display
I wouldn't risk going in there
*M
It looks dark and foreboding down there
I think we're being watched
I'd like to see the cake that was in there
Even swag bags have to be washed sometime
It leads back to the hotel room
They've been thrown away for a good reason
I guess this is where the flour is kept
A guy could get paranoid about this
Cake? Soap? Well why not?
They look so happy together
It's a pity that there's no sticky buns in there
It looks like it's in full working order
Apparently it's a delicacy
There's bread a baking in there
This was fresh from the oven last week
I guess this is where the baker pounds his dough
Hey! this baker uses a lot of flour
Do you think I could get out this way?
*E
*E
It's a way out of here
*E
*E
A seedy rundown bar with peanuts
I guess you get all sorts in here
Staff only. Perhaps we should get a job here
What? After we spent so long getting in?
I can't think what those cakes are doing here
A reminder of the Birdman of Alcafraz
The conditions in here aren't very sanitary
It's a superfly for a superfly guy
The mysterious rainbow trout
It's not a barrel of laughs but a barrel of worms
*E
Wow! A five speed quadraphonic SupaBlasta
Black leather. Wicked!
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
I'm not going back in there
There doesn't seem to be a queue
I wouldn't want his job
*E
It's covered in the dentist's tools
*E
*E
They suck your soul out, and you have to wait four minutes
A sponge for a counter? Cool!
Well it is quicker by drain
*E
I think that's someone's home
A monument to Bob Connor whoever he is
It's an ordinary stand pipe made from zinc
A sprinkler I think. Gardening's not my scene
It's a pot plant. What more can I say
*E
*E
It's seems to be set for lunch
*E
*M
It's mans best inflatable friend
I don't think I'll get in that way
Do you know who invented the roller door? Me neither
Fin's ain't what they used to be for this shark
Extremely useful things. Probably
It's a ladder down to a trawler
*E
*M
They always hover when you read a newspaper
*M
*M
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
Woah Spooky or what?
*E
It's a way back to the antechamber
Tate's a real egomaniac
*E
At least some things never change
It's an Edison original
Wooden. Square. It's either the counter or the shopkeeper
*E
It needs some serious dusting
He's certainly seen better days
*E
*E
Hey it's a brick counter. So what?
Brimming with goods. It's a shame I don't like DIY
They're special pun saws
It seems to be missing something I wonder why?
*E
Just your average dentistry laser cannon
It's a hole in a useless hose
*E
What great brushwork!
I think I can see a train in the distance
Now this is art that I can relate to
Hey! It leads back to Seedy street. So what?
Is this a way in?
A window cleaner's platform. For window cleaners
*E
*E
Go this way to get out of here
It's a white knuckle ride to the ground floor
An open skylight? Hmmm
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
*E
You'd get square eyes watching this
Just press for Channel One
Press to watch Channel Two
Button. Push. Channel Three. Okay?
On and Off. Just like that
*E
*E
I don't think it'll work
Hmm. The cleaners need to pay a visit
Hey. That guy's initials get everywhere
I guess Tate must start them young
*E
It's an important monitor
*E
Woah! It's an altar to Tate's greatness
He seems to be enjoying himself
*E
Spot the lie
*E
Well it's different to last time
*E
*M
Hey great view!
Exciting composition or what?
Steps down into the depths of the earth
I'd strongly advise going that way
*E
Hey what happened to his face?
He should see an orthodontist
I guess Tate's not an art lover
Does bad clothing have a long half life?
There just isn't the same variety is there?
I guess the're not speaking to each other
Woah what happened here?
Gee and I thought it was run down before
It's still staff only
What you really want to go back to Seedy street?
Hey! Who watches the watchtower?
It's tacky. It's tasteless. I love it
Tate's not a big Bob Connor fan
I wonder if the're hardy perennials?
Woah a major nuclear project right here in Barryville
*M
He's certainly seen better days
*M
It's not environmentally friendly is it?
There's an idea for a sequel! Treasure Island Bud Tucker
It's square. It's brown. It's a box
Well it's different
What composition! What style! A masterpiece
Back to the overworld away from here
It's a dark dank yet strangely mysterious tunnel
*M
*E
It's lost weight since last time
It's one of those plot device air vents
*E
I guess this is where they dump their junk
It's left end of the tunnel
It's the right end of the tunnel
*E
*E
*E
Hey this corridor continues further
It's seems like quite a walk
It's a mean lean green submarine
*E
It's a large red number three. Could be significant
*E
Walk this way back to the subway tunnel
Ah how sweet I don't think
The're just your average wooden bunk beds
*E
*E
Hey! It's a genuine antique. Possibly
It's back to the top of the corridor
Woah! Cool plant
This'll get your whites really white
It's a cerebrally challenged waiter
*E
*E
This must be the heart of Tate's operation
*E
Over the ocean blue back to the docks
It's round. It's a hole. It must be a way in
Don't these guys realise that green submarines suck?
*E
So this is where Tate gets his ideas
It's round. It's a hole. It must be a way out
*E
*E
Hey! I think something's trapped in there
Woah! Computer games!
*E
It's all done with mirrors you know
Just what is it with these tentacles?
*E
It's a Watt and Pritney 60cc submarine engine
A button. Gee I wonder what would happen if I pressed it?
Look it's a very unexciting cupboard. Okay?
You can't tune a piano but you can tuna fish
It leads back to the docks
*E
Doesn't anyone do cans of coke?
It's one of those dark mysterious tunnels
*E
Hi-Tech. Plastic. It's some sort of security terminal
*E
*E
Grey. Boring. Let's look at something exciting
Hey! It's the captain's chair. Now where's the captain's log?
A portrait of the captain's mom
This Tate guy likes his luxuries
Ugly. Mean. It's a good likeness
Why are they called French windows? Perhaps it's the accent
*E
*M
It'll get us off the trawler
It's an oxygen bottle
Hey! How'd you describe a door
A way out of this place
Gee I can't think where this leads
It's a doorway obviously
It's a strange rectangular hole of some kind
Door. Go through door. It's real easy
I'd have to check the map
What? After all the trouble it took getting inside
I only wish it were that easy
I'll have to find the exit first
Let's get back to the mall first
You really want to leave this place?
Hey why not stay here and mellow out?
I agree let's find the exit
That'll be easy when we find the exit
So you don't feel like staying here?
It's the hotel rules
No jelly juggling after midnight
Trout tickling strictly forbidden
No licking the walls between meals
Camels must be kept on a leash
Standing on one leg is strictly forbidden
Rubbing lemon sorbet into the bedsheets is forbidden
Turtles must only be turned clockwise on Saturday
Cress must not be grown on the bath towels
There is no calling the cleaner Arthur
All legumes must be handed over at reception
Hmm Let's see..What is it the professor wants?
A wind machine
A land sailboard. Strange
One match
An inflated bladder. Bizarre
One example of domestic fowl
A sharp point of some description
One tray or similar
A clockwork mechanism
Gloves. Two
One Bowling ball
A tube
Hula girl outfits (medium)
One empty pizza box
Well this shouldn't prove too difficult
Look in the dictionary under "cool", and you'll find a picture of me
Well, by the apron and the smell, I'd guess he was a baker
I've seen some shady guys in my time, but this guy's the Duke of Dubious...
What bold use of colour! What challenging concepts! The guy's a genius!
Quick! Call the zoo! Tell them one of their gorillas has escaped!
Wow, what a babe! I'm in love...
A Bunny Boy? Well, I suppose this is the age of equality
A regular beat cop. The kind that would beat you. Regularly
This guy looks familiar...
Proof that God didn't make man in his own image
Obviously one of Barryville's friendlier residents
He looks like a real salty sea dog. Smells like one too
An intelligent, attentive guy... not!
A real cool soul brother
Woah, a serial killer!
This guy's one of Barryville's more normal residents
Gee, what a sweet old lady!
This guy is the High Priest of Hobo. And he's got really bad body odour!
Well, he looks the part...
He looks like Vera, just a couple of steps further up the evolutionary scale
There must be one great story in there...
Well, he's in the right place...
A high class street vendor. Remind me to count my teeth before I go
Some sort of strange gigantic brain type thing
Wormus Wriggilus I think
As always, ice cool and every inch the hero
Argh! Bigfoot in a dress!
I guess she's never seen a dug dance...
A mountain with legs!
What is it with bad guys and stupid uniforms?
Is it just me, or is that a 300 pound gorilla in a hat?
Industrious kinda guy
Imprisonment haven't affected the Prof. Still as craz- er..inspired as ever
Hey, I know I look good, but this isn't really gonna get us anywhere, is it?
Woah! This guy's got serious problems! And I don't mean his weight!
He seems like a responsible citizen
They seem to start shopping earlier every year...
This guy was weird before Tate got to him!
Has Royston been cloned? No! There's no way anyone could reproduce that smell!
I thought he'd have retired by now
The prof learnt all he knows from Einstein. Stanley Einstein from Bootle
What is it with bad guys and stupid uniforms?
Hmm...I've seen this guy somewhere before...
Grunt won the "Sychophantic Gameshow Host" Award six times running!
Hey, it's the King!
Wow, a regal Egyptian babe!
Nice dress, dude
I don't see anything. Oh! You mean those inconspicuous store detectives!
This guy proves Darwin's Theory...
I suppose this guy only gets out at weekends...
Somebody give this guy a job. He oozes talent! Well, I hope it's talent...
Hey, what a sweet kid...
Woah, that's one chick I wouldn't mess with!
Seen one chicken waiting for dental treatment, you've seen 'em all
Hey, I know 70's chic is cool, but being a 70 year old geek..?
Sorry, I can't do that
That's impossible
I see reality has eluded you. Again
Next!
You want me to do what?
Hey, that sounds surreal
Try something else
I'm calling the men in the white coats!
Nurse!
You're totally insane, dude
Uh-huh..
It's a good thing I've enough brains for both of us
Excuse me?
Hey buddy, try this one: Use brain to think of sensible suggestion
Open is a tricky concept
Just as well I have the brains and you have the looks
I can't see a handle
I see no way to open it
The lights are on but know ones at home
All these pointless suggestions
Do you play computer games often?
Aw, gimme a break..
Close what? There's nothing open
Try something else
May I suggest an alternative use of our time
Are you feeling all right?
Why don't you close your mouth?
I can't close that
Yeah, right
Any more bright ideas?
Er... No
I guess they only let you out at weekends
How could I do that?
Any more suggestions like that and I'll have you committed
That's a stupid idea
No, I'll keep it for now
I'll keep that
I'm gonna save it for later
I'm not giving that away
I'm not giving away all of my goodies
My need is greater than their's
I'm gonna hold on to that
Let's not be too generous
No, I might have use of it later
That's not a good idea, I should keep it
That's too useful to give away
I don't think I could live without it
It's not Christmas, I'll keep it
I'll hang on to it for now
Try something else
I don't think my gift would be appreciated
I can't carry that around
It's not my type
What did you last servant die of?
I can't pick that up
Come off it
Do you really think I need it to find the Professor?
I really don't need it
What would I need that for?
No way! You want it, you get it
Hey man, take my advice: stay off the drugs
The Caffeine must be making you hyper active
You've flipped
I don't need it
I'm not a kleptomaniac!
I'd better not
Pick that up? No way!
That's going nowhere
I can't move that!
Where would you want me to put it?
I don't want to, Okay?
That would be pointless
I'm a kid, not a removal man
It's not in my job description
I can't move that.
It's fine where it is
Get a life...
I don't fancy touching it
Move it where?
It's not my place to rearrange things
Moving that wouldn't solve our problems
Would moving that really help us find the Professor?
Hey it looks cleaner already
That was quite a trip
This should provoke a response
Now what could we do with this?
Woah! My life is complete
Great! It's not exactly four star
Now I enjoyed doing that
Bizarre plot device huh!?
I don't think he can hear
Hey I'm in the guild!
Let's go put this to use
Hole in one!
This'll go toward the deposit on a sports car
I think I need shades!
Hey this is quite a pad!
Don't try this at home kids
Neat job huh?
Great lateral thinking huh?
And I have to put this into my pocket?
I don't think he even noticed
Sshh..This'll be a surprise
That was like taking candy from a baby
The magnetic field was stronger than I thought
Why did I get out of bed this morning?
This should have some effect on the crew
Hey an instant life preserver
It looks like a key of some sort
Hey this is embarrassing but I can't swim
At least clockwork is environmentally friendly
This will save me getting wet
That water must have been ultra hot
And for my next trick
Well it wasn't dignified but I got the card
We have power!
Another top ten hit recorded
Gee they seem hypnotised by the Dug's syncopated rhythm
Hey I should be a cat burglar
I guess it's the wrong key
It's an outrageous fashion statement
Well this shouldn't pose any problems
Let's get the professor and get out of here
Hey why not?
It's as good a way as any
Escape through the air vent? What a great plan
Look are you really sure about this?
Hey not while they're watching
Gee Tate's very security minded
Hey they have some use after all!
This watch sure is useful. Pity it's stopped
Let's go!
Why don't they design bigger lifts
Now it's as good as new
I think we'll take the train next time
Hey! It's jammed stuck
It just won't open
I'll be saving someone pain
Hey! We're locked out
This isn't going anywhere
Hey! Comedy slapstick!
Going down!
There must be an easier way to save the world
That was shocking!
Woah! I ain't going no further dude! That muzak sucks
If silence was golden I'd be rich!
Now down to business!
Hey! I don't want to wear something so unfashionable
I'm only doing this because everyone else is wearing one
Woah! I'm taking the coat off before going out there
Let's see what happens now..
It's locked. Typical criminal mastermind
Hey it's almost as good as new
Hey! Where'd the cuckoo go?
Well that's the museum open again
What strange behaviour
What a couple of bozos
Hey I think I got it dirty again
Stand back! Clear the area!
Woah! No way am I going down there!
Well okay. Just don't tell anyone I did this
Hey worm! How's it going?
Never better. Thanks for asking
So what are you doing?
I'm looking for my friend
Have seen anything suspicious recently?
I need a favour. Can you help?
Digging the vent tunnel for mineshaft eleven
Mineshaft eleven?
What is it you're mining?
That's interesting but I've got to go
That's right. One of thirty five
And the're an engineering miracle if I do say so myself
Pre-Stressed concrete cross beams. Overhead steel cored support..
Woah..Hey..That's enough
You don't want to hear about the twin bored pneumatic earthmover?
Er..No
Well okay then
Well it's your loss
I'll take the chance
Well the twin bored pneumatic earthmover..
Actually..
Yes?
I've just remembered an urgent appointment
Yeah right..Sure..
I'll come back. Honest
That's what they all say
Hey worm I'm back
To hear about the twin bored pneumatic earthmover?
Er yeah..Hey why not?
Ooh..This is a dream come true
So let's go!
Well the twin bored pneumatic earthmover
is a pneumatic earthmover with twin bores. Marvellous don't you think?
Yeah that was..that was very educational
I aim to please
Well thanks for everything
He look's strangely familiar..Ah yes..!
I saw him with Mr Tate some time ago
Here in the park?
Was he tied up?
Hey thanks for the information
You're welcome!
You know Tate?
Yes. Nasty man. I wouldn't trust him. His ears are too close together
Don't you mean eyes?
I know what I mean
Well thanks for the information
Like a parcel
The poor Professor. I've got to find him somehow
Well anything I can do to help
Thanks I'll remember that
Over there behind the statue
Did you see what happened?
No sorry. I'm only a little worm
But a little worm with a big heart
Hmm I think I'm going to be sick
Gee thanks. But that's what you get when you try to bond with a worm
I did see a big evil crow hiding in the rhododendrons
Hmm not quite what I had in mind
What about a fat sparrow with a hungry grin?
Can sparrows grin?
They can when they spot lunch
Lunch?
Look do I have to spell it out?
No I think I can guess. Well thanks anyway
Anytime
Yeah why not!
It involves a fishing rod..
A fishing rod? Am I going to like this
Yeah I need to become a fisherman. And I need a fishing rod..and some bait..
Will it hurt?
You won't feel a thing
Well okay then..Though I think I may regret this
Hi worm I'm back!
Hey it's the giant again
Can't stop things to do!
Tunnellin' actually. Trade secret I'm afraid
Can't you give me a tiny clue?
Hmmm..I don't really know..Well alright then..
Great so what is it!
A new expressway to Huddersfield. It'll revolutionize the tourist industry
Won't that take a long time?
Few thousand years. Give or take a decade
Hey I'll book my ticket now to avoid the rush. Thanks for everything
Hey! What you up to?
Er..Nothing. Just admiring the view
Well..Just don't try anything funny
Who? Me?
Hey Mr Brain! I`m Bud. How`s it hanging?
Hanging? Hmmm street dialect. Late twentieth century. Interesting
I shall modify my speech output in order to make myself understood
It is cool Daddy-O. Groove to the max and give me some skin
A simple hello would have been enough
Hiü!ü üIüt`s Bud again. What`s new?
Sentient life..pull ring soda cans..pre-pasted wallpaper
What are you?
Have you seen my friend?
I am the brain that knows everything. Tourist information a speciality
Gee everything? üThat`s cool
Everything?ü üYeah and I`m a tuna sandwhich
Hey that`s interesting. Catch you later
Indeed. There is nothing to which I do not know üthe answer
So can you tell me the meaning of life?
How do you achieve world peace?
Can you stop pizzas burning your mouth?
I would advise waiting until they were cold
I`ll try that one sometime. You`ve been a great help
Beü nice to one another. Smile more. It`s very simple
Hey that`s truly profound. You should be on television
Would you like the complex sociological geo-political explanation?
Or an answer that you`ll actually understand?
Er..The complex version
I`d like to hear the second answer
I think I`ll pass. Catch you later
Sarcasm ill befits you little one. When I say everything, I mean everything
Hey don`t short a synapse. I believe you. Honest
Tell me about Barryville
A coastal town, Barryville was founded by twins Romulus and Barry
Suckled, so legend has it by a giant maternally minded lobster
Are there any nightspots?
Not during the day. And then generally the entire city after that
No. I mean Clubs..Places of entertainment..Hip happening venues
Hmm..Areas where the population can gather for recreational activities?
The very same
There is the famous no hole golf course for those of an uncompetitive nature
Not really what I had in mind
What about the club for people with no sense of direction?
Where`s that?
No-one has ever found where they meet. Including the members
Well you`ve been great. Keep it up. Catch you later
Are there any good restaurants?
There is of course the world renowned Le Tastee poisson
An epicure`s delight with only a forty two year waiting list as disincentive
Hmm I don`t have that long
Then there is the What`s your Beef? steak house
Whose chef is proud to use the bits that others throw away
I don`t feel hungry all of a sudden. Thanks anyway
Describe the shops in the mall
There is of course the ubiquitous Burger
The same fake smiles and homogenized product found in every city
It is the factory system applied to food preparation. Absolutely ghastly
Though I do admit a weakness for their delicious Whammy Burger and Fries
What about the other shops?
There is the Captain`s fishing tackle shop
A more honourable man has not sailed the seven seas
Though it is not advisable to stand downwind
unless you have a particular liking for haddock. Popular with cats though
Thanks. That`s what I wanted to know
Anymore?
Avoid the dentist
What? In general?
No..Only the particular dentist of this mall
It is good when one enjoys one`s work, but not in his case
Any other information
There is an excellent record shop
Stocked with what I believe is known to aficionados as popular music
Which I am informed is not wholly unpleasant to listen to
Anything else?
And then there is Plugs. A plug shop for all your plug needs
That`s all I need to know. Catch you later
Is Mary Putty really up to the job?
Mary Putty has all the qualifications necessary
for a career in tourist information
Over qualified if you ask me
In all the years she has served not one tourist has ever returned
A record we can all be proud of
The`re probably lost forever
Yeah I can see that. Catch you later
It is desirable to have excitement and adventure whilst on vacation
Take that young Norwegian fellow Mary once gave directions to
Only wanted to find a good hotel. Ended up being first to the South Pole
Now that was a holiday to remember
Well I can see you and Mary have a lot in common. Catch you later
Can you tell me where the docks are?
Certainly. Leave the mall. Turn left. Left again. Left twice more
Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Left. Right. Down. Right. Left
Left at the man standing on the corner. Right. And then Left. Got that?
No problem. Catch you later. I think
Can you tell me where the park is?
Leave the mall. Follow the road as long as you think necessary
Turn left as often as needbe. Follow whichever signs you prefer
Then walk as far as you think fitting for a summers day
It is then you shall find all that you seek
Great directions. I wish I hadn`t asked
Have you seen my friend, the professor?
Hmmm. Interesting. He is missing in some way?
Kidnapped
A noble Nobel nobbled?
Something like that
Unfortunately I do not know his whereabouts
However I shall cogitate on the matter at some length
Fear not I shall aid you in the discovery of your friend
Thanks I feel better all ready. Catch you later
Have you located the professor yet?
Sadly the location still eludes my senses
That`s the way it goes. Thanks anyway
It`s like this. Each life is a journey
Yeah and?
That`s it. But at least it`s understandable
What more do you want? Relevance?
Well it`d be a start
Sorry times up. Any more questions?
Not right now. Thanks for nothing
Epistemologically, true meaning can only be achieved through application of..
Woah..Hey!
Non-temporal existential thought and behavioural patterns
Yeah I can see that..
To be is not to be. To do is to be. To be is to do. Do bee do bee do
Right..That makes sense
Did Nietzsche not say he wouldn`t join a club that would have him as a member?
How pertinent an explanation of the human condition
I feel better all ready. Thanks for everything
Have you heard of Dick Tate?
Dick Tate? Ahh yes. Desperate to be a Barryville high flyer
Cunning. Nefarious. Underhand. A cheat and rascal
Voted most likely to take over the world in his school yearbook
He would stop at nothing to grasp the power of life or death
wielded only by presidents, royalty or PE teachers
Not a nice guy huh?
Not even within throwing distance
Well thanks for your time. Got things to do
Pizza U Like. A song, a smile and an anchovy pizza
Ah Bud. It is finished. My greatest creation complete
Is that the great mystery invention you've had hidden away?
It most certainly is
Make haste to my laboratory with one of your special pizzas
Sure thing professor
I'll start grating the chocolate right away!
Ah Bud! Come in. Come in.
Ah I see you're still using my multi dimensional personal pocket transporter
Yeah! Though I still haven't found that elephant I put in there last week..
Ach, teething troubles, nothing more. You've bought the pizza? Wunderbar!
So prof, where's this new invention of yours?
All in good time, Bud. Let me take the pizza
Behold! The duotronic replicator!
Wow! It looks great prof. But what does it do?
Do? Watch this!
Hey that's impressive!
You've invented a machine to destroy pizza's
Ah my dear Bud the demonstration is only half complete
It's a duplication machine!
Precisely
But how? What?
It's really quite simple Bud. You've heard of quantum theory?
The indeterminancy effect?
Woah professor spare me the physics!
Just think of the possibilities!
You could solve the world's food problems!
Double the number of pizza's baked in day!
Though I'd have to be copied to deliver them all..
I'm sorry Bud but copying people just isn't possible
It seems to be something to do with brainwave patterns
but anyone copied would have no memory
and would have to be taught everything again
Perhaps it is just as well
Imagine if someone copied lady prime ministers
Ah Professor, my dear chap
You really should be more careful
It was a most unfortunate mistake to use a public telephone line
Not the most secure means of communication
All one needs is a simple wire tap. Isn't that right Egbert?
Yeah boss it was real easy, all I needed to do was a..
Shut up Egbert. Shut up, shut up, shut up..This is my bit!
What is it you want? I have no money
Money? Oh I want more than money. I want power. Absolute power
Power over all those idiots who laughed at me..Mrs Wimplethorpe..
Jumbo Jenkinson, my mummy
And cats. I want all cats to be made illegal
Especially white ones. The ones with long hair
The smug looking ones. And your machine will give me that power
As one genius to another I can only thank you effusively
for delivering the means to complete my master plan
Egbert please escort the professor to our secret headquarters
Norris secure the machine.
"Big Al's strip joint. Starring Lola. Seedy street. Barryville"
Hmm I wonder if that's where they've taken the professor?
There's only one way to find out
I've always thought I'd make hero material
Seedy street. Barryville and step on it!
Hey, this taxi's done 200,000 miles..
Would you ask your Grandma to run in the olympics?
I can see you've waited years for someone to say that. Haven't you?
Yeah well you've got to have some ambition in life
Say is there a hotel in Seedy Street?
I guess I'm going to have to find somewhere to stay
Hotel? Seedy street? No problem
Hey kid, you wanna support the Barryville Cab Driver's fund
for disturbed Cab drivers?
See we're organising this sponsored walk, see
But you don't walk, see you talk a cab, okay..
I can see this is going to be a long trip
But there's three people in each cab, see, and you give each one half
Aw no! I'll lose my no claims bonus. And my Macey's discount vouchers
Woaaaah!
Woaaaah!
