|
Kermit
|
Hey,
Lindbergh, get us out of here!
|
|
Lindy
|
I
can't! I can't reach the yellow button from inside here. If we work
together, maybe we can get Digit to push the button.
|
|
Kermit
|
We
have to figure out how to move him.
|
|
Waldo
|
I'll
look for a motor control.
|
|
Lindy
|
Hey,
c'mere -- look at this!
|
|
Kermit
|
What's
that?
|
|
Lindy
|
It's
a control marked Locomotion!
|
|
Kermit
|
Great!
Push it!
|

|
|
[
Digit starts dancing. ]
|
|
Digit
|
[
singing: ] Everybody's doing the brand new dance now... Come on, baby,
do the Locomotion...
|
|
|
[
Kermit and Lindy are knocked around inside Digit's head. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
Lindbergh,
turn it off!
|
|
Waldo
|
Hey
-- I found the hand control!
|
|
|
[
Lindy tries pushing the hand control -- but all he can do is make Digit slap
himself in the face. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
The
feet, quick! Find the controls for the feet!
|
|
Lindy
|
I
think this one here...
|
|
|
[
Lindy pushes the foot controls; Digit lurches around. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
No,
no, push it the other way!
|
|
Lindy
|
I'll
try!
|
|
Kermit
|
Find
a finger!
|
|
Waldo
|
Uh...
finger here!
|
|
Kermit
|
Now
the yellow button!
|
|
Lindy
|
Turn,
turn!
|
|
Kermit
|
Towards
the yellow button...
|
|
Lindy
|
There
we go... getting close... here goes!
|


|
|
[
They get Digit to press the button, which beams them out of his head. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
Wow.
Everybody okay?
|
|
Waldo
|
Whew!
That was fun!
|
|
Kermit
|
Now
what?
|
|
Lindy
|
I
know I had a toolbelt when I went in...
|
|
|
[
Lindy shakes Digit, and hears the toolbelt clanking around inside his head. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
Oh,
no...
|
|
|
[
Kermit notices a sketch starting on the monitor. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
Oh
-- Here's Louie Anderson!

SPACE
GUY! The thrilling story of a guy in space! When last we left Space Guy, he
and his faithful crew of lobsters had just escaped another harrowing
experience.
|
|
Louie
|
Geez.
That was a harrowing experience.
|
|
Lobsters
|
Yeah!
Yeah.
|
|
Louie
|
I
tell ya, this is one Space Guy who's never going to mix anti-matter and beer
nuts again.
|
|
Debbie
|
Aaaah!
Captain Space Guy!
|
|
Louie
|
What
now, Lobster Debbie?
|
|
Debbie
|
I'm
picking up communications from an alien vessel! Should I put them on the
viewscreen?
|
|
Louie
|
But
it's almost time for Bonanza! Oh, all right.
|
|
Debbie
|
Hmmm.
where's the remote?
|
|
Lobster
|
It
was here a second ago...
|
|
Louie
|
Oh,
don't you tell me the remote is missing again! Find that remote, or tomorrow
it's gonna be Lobsters For Hire in the paper! Look under the couch!
|
|
|
[
CRASH! Space Guy and the lobsters are jolted as a tractor beam locks onto
their ship. ]
|
|
Louie
|
What
was THAT?
|

|
|
[
A Lobster points to an alien that can be seen on the viewscreen. ]
|
|
Lobster
|
Look
-- it's an alien being!
|
|
|
[
The viewscreen zooms out -- it's Bean Bunny, with a gaggle of giggling
bunnies. ]
|
|
Bean
|
Actually,
I'm an alien Bean! [ The bunnies giggle. ] Hello! I'm Commander
Bunny from the planet Cute-tron.
|
|
Louie
|
Whadda
ya want?
|
|
Bean
|
I
want to be your friend!
|
|
Louie
|
I
don't have friends.
|
|
Bean
|
Aw,
what do you say -- do you want to sing a song, or play a game?
|
|
Bunnies
|
Yeah!
|
|
Louie
|
Eat
my socks, you little carrot sucking pests! Now -- let us go before my
ferocious team of combat lobsters have to get ROUGH! [ The lobsters
growl. ] I'M SPACE GUY!
|

|
Bean
|
Lobsters?
What a coincidence, we just found all this melted butter!
|
|
|
[
The lobsters wave white flags and abandon ship. ]
|
|
Lobster
|
So
long, Space Chump!
|
|
Louie
|
Wait
-- don't take the remote!
|
|
Bean
|
So,
are we friends now?
|
|
Louie
|
I'll
see you as rabbit stew first, hairball!
|
|
Bean
|
You
know, you wouldn't be so cranky if you were cute! Maybe a little dose of the
Cute Ray will cheer you up!
|
|
|
[
Bean points the Cute Ray at Space Guy, and pulls the trigger. Bubbles come
out of the gun... and Space Guy suddenly has pink fuzzy hands and a rabbit
nose. ]
|

|
Louie
|
My
nose! Hey -- my hands! I'll get you for this, you piece of garbage... Tee
hee! Oops.
|
|
Bean
|
See?
You just keep getting cuter and cuter...
|
|
|
[
Bean shoots the Cute Ray again. ]
|

|
Louie
|
Stop
it! Stop it! Tee hee hee hee. Oh, you WON'T make me cute -- you WON'T! Think
of things that aren't cute... toxic waste... shotguns... Leonard Nimoy...
cigar butts... balloons...
|
|
|
[
The bunnies laugh. ]
|
|
Bean
|
One
more oughta do it!
|
|
Louie
|
You
can't do this to me! I'm not cute! I'm Space Guy! I'm Space Guy!
|
|
|
[
Bean shoots the Cute Ray one more time. The bunnies cheer. ]
|
|
Bean
|
Three's
the charm!
|

|
Louie
|
Hi!
I'm Pinkaboo -- the cutest, cuddliest, most pinkaliciously wonderful person
in the universe!
|
|
|
[
Bean and the bunnies are sickened. ]
|
|
Bean
|
PINKaboo?
|
|
Louie
|
Will
you be my friend?
|
|
Bean
|
Ewwww
-- maybe I set it too high.
