we must not go any further.
Look!
It is an ancient, sacred Hovitos symbol.
It's certain death for anyone who enters.
We must turn back...
how!

Ugh!

[CREAKING]
Ugh!
Bob: George.
Hello?
Earth to George.
- Ahh!
Are you daydreaming again?
No, no, I was just admiring how clean and shiny this grill is.
Come on, George. We're busy here.
You know what the problem is?
Nobody here appreciates a guy with a good imagination.
Well, at least not the people at the lumber yard
or the miniature golf course or Floyd's Fish Market,
or any of the other places you worked in the last month, right?
Yeah. Well, someday... someday they'll be sorry.
They'll be eating breakfast or something
and all of a sudden, they'll say,
Hey! We screwed up!
We never should have fired George Newman
because he's got imagination.
Well, I think the fries are just about done.
Aw, jeez, you better not let Big Edna see that.
- She'll have a fit. - Big Edna, Big Edna.
You sound like a broken record.
Why are you so afraid of that pathetic tub of lard?
[BOTH] Whoa!
Ahh!
[KARATE YELLING]
Bob: How could you do this to me?
I knew this was gonna happen.
You're right, Bob. I'm sorry.
What can I say?
I'm a miserable, worthless hunk of slime.
Here.
I want you to take this crowbar and...
just bash my head right in!
Go ahead, really. Please. Just bash it right in!
Ah, George, you know I couldn't do that.
You still owe me five bucks.
- [MAN] Wah-hoo! - [GLASS SHATTERS]
Ahh!
Hey, Kuni.
Hiya, George.
Beginner's class today, huh?
Yeah. They're so stupid!
Oh!
Stupid!
Mm, boy!
Look what I got here, Bob.
A twinkie-wiener sandwich!
Your favourite.
[KARATE YELLING]
Come on, Bob. Cheer up, will you?
You ruined my life.
You know, Bob-o,
I think you're developing a bad attitude here.
[Karate yelling continues]
You see, Bob... [SNIFFS]
You gotta look at the big picture.
You gotta grab life by the lips
and yank as hard as you can!
[CRASHING]
See anything in the want ads?
Yeah. But nothing with the prestige of working at Burger World.
So what do you think Teri's gonna say
when she hears you got fired again?
Teri? Oh, no. What time is it?
7:30? Oh boy, I gotta go. I'll see you later, Bob.
[KUNI] Stupid!
So, what's your excuse this time?
[SIGHS] Well, Bob and I were having
a serious discussion about our various career options.
Boy, I really like what you've done with your hair.
- It's really... - George, did you get fired again?
Yes! Yes! It's all true!
I just don't know what's wrong with me!
So, what's for dinner?
Mashed potatoes? My favourite!
Teri, you shouldn't have.
George!
When are you gonna start taking things a little more seriously?
I mean, you've been wandering aimlessly
from job to job ever since I've known you.
If you could just get that overactive imagination of yours
to work for you instead of against you,
maybe you could... [SIGHS]
What are you doing?
This means something.
This is important.
[GIGGLING]
Oh, George, that is just terrible.
But don't you worry,
you're a fine young man.
I'm sure you'll get another job right away.
You got such a good face.
Look at this face.
Would you look at this face?
Is this a face you could die for?
[snap]
So, where's Uncle Harvey? I haven't seen him all night.
Oh, he'll be out soon.
I think he's having some sort of last-minute business meeting.
Two pair, aces high.
[LAUGHING]
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
Yeah, what?
Hey, Louie.
I just wanted to congratulate you, Mr. Bilchik.
You did very well at the track this afternoon.
Oh, yeah? I won again, huh?
Right. Yeah. Thanks, Louie. Bye.
Now, what are we doing here?
[MAN] it's your deal, Harvey.
Oh, hi, honey.
Have you finished your meeting?
Oh, yeah, yeah,
and business was great tonight.
Harvey, have you been gambling again?
Hey! What are you complaining about?
This is for when you go shopping on Rodeo Drive.
What's this?
Oh, that's the deed to Channel 62.
I won it with a pair of sevens. I was bluffing.
Channel 62?
- Never heard of it. - I'm not surprised.
More people watch the fish tank at Leo's pet store.
It's a little UHF station on the edge of town.
It's been on the brink of bankruptcy for years.
- It's too bad I gotta dump it. - Oh, really?
I kind of like the idea of us having our own TV station.
Forget about it.
They can't even find anybody to manage the place anymore.
Harvey, I know somebody who'd be perfect for the job.
Oh, yeah? Who's that?
George! George, dear, can you come over here for a second?
Oh, no.
No, not him. Forget it. No way.
[TERI] I can't believe your Uncle Harvey's
letting you run his TV station.
[GEORGE] Hey, he trusts me.
Besides, he's going to California.
He doesn't want to be bothered with it.
Well, here we are.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
[DUG HOWLING]
This is it?
Wow, this is even better than I imagined!
Come on. Let's go check it out.
I don't know, George.
I'm not so sure about this.
See? The front door's open.
It's a friendly place.
[MAN] Hey, mister!
Change? You got change?
Oh, um... sure.
85...
95...
one dollar!
Thanks, mister.

I mean, what time do you normally go home?
This is my home. I live here.
Hold these.
No, no, like this.

I don't know about this, George. I mean, I don't know the first thing
about what goes on at a television station.
Don't worry, Bob. It's just like working in a fish market,
except you don't have to clean and gut fish all day.
[TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING]
Yeah, so? Can I help you?
Hi. I'm George Newman.
I'm the new station manager.
[GROANING]
You know, when I first took this job,
they told me that this position was only temporary
and that eventually, when the time was right,
I would be moved up to news, which is really my forte.
You know how long I've been working here?
Two years!
It's kind of hard to get promoted
when every other week you have a new boss!
This job really sucks.
And this is my friend Bob.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Howdy, friends. It's Crazy Ernie
from Crazy Ernie's Used Car Emporium.
It's a giant supermarket of cars!
I got so many cars people come up to me and say,
Hey, Crazy Ernie, where'd you get all those cars?
Lookie here! I got red cars, I got green cars!
I got enough cars to choke a camel!
Tell you what, friends,
if nobody comes down and buys a car from me in the next hour,
I'm gonna club this baby seal!
That's right! I'm gonna club a seal to make a better deal!
You know I'll do it, too,
'cause I'm crazy! Ha ha ha!
Look at all the old reruns this station is airing.
We could sure use some more live shows.
I don't know, something like, uh...
Pam: Oh, no!
You okay in there, Pam?
Yes. It's just if it's not one thing, it's another.
You know, that mail man's really got a screw loose.
He delivers us this package. It's supposed to go to R.J. Fletcher.
Who?
R.J. Fletcher. He runs Channel 8,
you know, the network affiliate downtown?
Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to send it back to him tomorrow.
No. That's okay. I-I'll take it over myself.
It'll be a good chance to meet the competition.
You know, George, I'll tell you,
I don't really think that's such a good idea.
I heard he's not the nicest guy in the world.
Oh, come on. He can't be all that bad.
You just gotta know how to talk to those guys.
Fletcher: You idiot! Can't you do anything I tell you to do?
Does this look like a No. 2 pencil?
- No. I just thought... - You thought?
I don't pay you to think!
- But, Dad... - Shut up!
Let's get back to the meeting.
All right, who's got the research report?
I left the report on your desk, sir.
I don't see it. When did you put it here?
Yesterday before I left, sir.
The janitor. It must have been the janitor.
He probably threw it out when he was cleaning up in here.
Send in the janitor.
I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
I will not tolerate this kind of behaviour at Channel 8.
This is a business, not a home
for irresponsible pus-brains!
[DOOR OPENS]
Uh... you wanted to see me, sir?
That's right.
I guess you know why I called you in here.
Uh... because you're lonely?
No, you moron.
Oh, duh.
Now, look carefully.
Do you see anything missing from this desk?
Uh...
[SNAPS] That stapler?
No!
Now listen to me. There was a very important file on this desk,
a file that represented two months of intensive research.
It's my guess that you threw it out.
Oh, uh, no, sir. No, uh...
Were you in here cleaning up last night?
Uh, yes, sir... yes, sir, I was.
Do you see that file on my desk now?
Gee, I don't know.
I think I've proven my point.
You are a worthless human being Mr., uh...
Spadowski. Stanley Spadowski.
May I call you Stanley?
Okay.
Stanley, you're fired!
But I... I didn't...
Get out!
But I...
People are...
I can't believe the incompetence in this place.
People like that should be put to sleep.
Whew.
Well, what do you know?
The research file.
Here it is. Been sitting here all the time.
[LAUGHING]
[TELEPHONES RINGING]
[TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING]
[LAUGHING]
Betty, hold my calls.
Yes, Mr. Fletcher.
Hey, R.J.!
[ALL NOISE STOPS]
Hi! George Newman, U-62.
Say, nice place you got here.
You know, I was just thinking, since we're both in the business...
Where'd you get this?
Do you realize that stealing mail is a federal offence?
Hold on. You don't understand...
No, you don't understand how serious a crime this is.
I think you'd just better clear out your desk and get out.
You're through, mister.
But, I don't work here.
Trespassing, huh?
You've got 10 seconds to get out before I call the police.
Look, I thought we could...
Five... four...
- three... - Gee, look at the time.
Well, gotta go.
Keep in touch.
No. No. Please. It's all I've got left!
Let go. This is station property.
No! No! Its my mop.
Let go!
Let go, you idiot!
That's my mop!
Not any more, buddy!
Hey, are you all right?
It's just not fair.
Come on, forget about it. It's only a mop.
Only a mop? Only a mop?
Oh, you don't understand.
That mop was given to me for my birthday when I was 8 years old.
We've never been apart!
Now...
now I don't even have a job anymore.
After 15 years, they just toss me out
like an old bag of mouldy tangerines.
[Crying] What am I gonna do?
[SOBBING]
- Well... - [STANLEY BLOWS NOSE]
Maybe you could come work for me.
Really? You mean it?
Sure. I guess we could use a janitor.
- Stanley Spadowski. - George Newman.
I'm mighty glad to meet you, George.
I'm gonna do a really good job. You won't be sorry.
I'm really gonna do a good job for you, George. I'm a good janitor.
You want me to clean your glasses for you?
- No, that's... - I'll make them real shiny, real shiny.
Cause we're friends, huh, George? We're friends.
Bum: Nope.
[MAN] is this it?
Nope.
Is this it?
Nope.
- Is this it? - Pam: No, George.
I can't delay the broadcast
because the mayor is supposed to be coming out any minute.
Where is he?
No. I've looked all over.
I don't see a Noodles Macintire.
Macintosh at your service.
Yeah, George, never mind. I think I found him.
Come on! Come on!
We go now live to U-62's Pamela Finklestein
on the steps at City Hall.
Thank you. Hi. Pamela Finklestein here.
Boy, it's quite a scene this morning
on the front steps of City Hall.
We're awaiting the emergence of Mayor Thompson
from his annual city budget meeting.
I think he... oh yeah, here comes the mayor now. Let's go over.
Maybe we can get a few words out of him.
[CROWD CHATTERING]
Oh!
Oh, did I do that?
Oopsie!
Noodles, those things are fragile.
You should be more careful.
Here he is now. I think that we should be able...
Hey, sweetheart, take my advice.
Broads don't belong in broadcasting.

Hi. Richard Fletcher. Channel 8 news.

[WINCES]
Yeah, but...
yeah, but...
broads don't belong in broadcasting?
Is that the kind of professional courtesy
you teach your news department?
Why, that's just terrible.
I don't know how many times I've told those boys
never call chicks broads.
Why, you slimy... oh!
[LAUGHING]
Hello, and welcome to town talk.
I'm George Newman, and today our special guest
is local high school shop teacher Joe Earley.
Joe, thanks for joining us.
Thank you, home boy.
[GEORGE] Well, I see you've brought some equipment with you today.
Would you mind giving us a little demonstration?
Not at all.
There's only a few simple principles

Now look at Mr. Frying Pan.
Uh-oh! Bob-o fall down, go boom.
Upsie-daisy.
Say, Bob-o, what's wrong?
Oh, I bet I know. You're hungry, aren't you?
- [HORN SPUTTERS] - Well, I know just what you want.
Clowns and kids alike can't resist the mouth-watering, lip-smacking taste
of Mrs. Hockenburger's Butter Cookies.
Right, Bob-o?
That's right!
And, hey, Mom,
they're nutritious, too!
Just look at how much Bob-o here likes them.
Mmm. That's good.
And don't forget, kids,
there's a nifty surprise
inside every box of Mrs. Hockenburger's...
uh-oh. [George laughs]
Bobo's been eating Yappy's Dog Treats.
That's right, Yappy's Dog Treats.
Your dog will love that real liver and tuna taste...

With just a hint of cheese.
Hi. Pamela Finklestein here,
coming to you with an interview with Mr. Earl Ramsey.
Now, Mr. Ramsey is the president of the local chapter
of the American Gun Association.
Um, Mr. Ramsey, is it correct to assume
that your organization is against gun control?
Gun control is for wimps and Commies.
Listen, let's get one thing straight.
Guns don't kill people.
- I do. - Pam: Yes, well...

Is there anything else you want me to do?

It's getting pretty late. Why don't you call it a night?
Oh... do I have to?
Yeah. Go on. I'll see you in the morning.
Okay. I'll see you.
George, you know, I was wondering, like...
like, if you were travelling through outer space,
ll mean, like, you're going real fast, like the speed of light,
you know, and all of a sudden, you started screaming,
Ahh! Ahh!
Do you think that your brain would blow up?
Uh, guys, I'm trying to work. Do you mind?
No, I... I don't mind. Go... go right ahead.
Do you mind, George?
Would you care to order now?
Oh, yeah. I think we'll have the...
No, thank you. We'll wait.
Are you sure he knows what restaurant we're at?
[BUTTONS CLACKING]
Well, I've got some good news and some bad news.
Okay, give me the bad news first.
Well, given our present financial situation,
compounded by ongoing fixed expenses
and outstanding invoices,
I figure this station will be flat broke by the end of the week.
What's the good news?
I lied. There is no good news.
I never should have taken this job.
[SIGHS]
I should have known it would turn out like all the others.
You know, for a short time there,
I really thought this was gonna be different.
I just don't know anymore.
Well, at least I've still got Teri.
- What time is it? - Uh, 9:30.
- Oh, no! - [RINGING]
Hello?
George Newman? You are a selfish,
thoughtless, insensitive creep,
and from now on, you can forget all my birthdays
because we're through.

Hey, kids, where do you want to go?
That's right, to Uncle Nutzy's Clubhouse.
And, boy, oh, boy,
are we gonna have big fun today.
We're gonna have so much fun,
we'll forget about how miserable we are
and how much life sucks
and how we're all gonna grow old and die someday.
- Boy: I wanna go home. - Shut up, you little weasel.
Okay.
Right now I'd like to show you one of my favourite cartoons.
It's a sad, depressing story about a pathetic coyote
who spends every waking moment of his life
in the futile pursuit of a sadistic roadrunner...
[YELLING] who mocks him and laughs at him
as he is repeatedly crushed and maimed!
Hope you enjoy it!
Bob: Hey, where are you going?
- I need a drink. - You don't drink.
Yeah, but I've been meaning to start.
Wait a minute.
What about the rest of the show?
Watch out, Mr. Coyote! Oh, that's terrible.
Hey, Stanley.
Yeah, George?
How would you like your own TV Show?
Okay.
You're on.
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
What?
[CHUCKLING]
- But, George, what about... - Bob, it doesn't matter anymore.
It's over.
Bartender: Yeah. We're watching it, too.
Yeah. I've never seen anything like it.
Okay, I'll call you later.
Gentlemen, what can I get you?
Beer.
Blueberry daiquiri.
I'll tell you what, George. Let's start fresh.
Start a whole new business.
Maybe we can borrow some money from your Uncle Harvey.
Oh, right.
We just flushed his TV station down the toilet.
I'm sure he'd be happy to lend us money.
So I guess Teri's never going to speak to you again, huh?
Hey, I didn't get an umbrella.
[MAN] look everybody! He's coming back on!
Hey, welcome back to Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse.
Are you kids having a good time?
Yeah!
Hey, how about that cartoon? hat was a weird cartoon, wasn't it?
You know, that cartoon, it reminds me of a dream I had last week.
I turned into a bird with a candy-bar head.
And there were these other birds, you know,
they were all trying to eat my head and everything, but I got away from them.
Then there was this tree, you know,
and there was this weird lizard, you know...
what the...
ooh!
Oh.
Whoa!
Oh!
I wa... I wanna show you something... ugh!
I want to show you something.
[CLINKING]
This is my new mop.
George, my friend, he gave me this mop.
It's a pretty good mop. It's not as good as my first mop.
I miss my first mop, but this is still a good mop.
Sometimes you just have to take what life gives you
'cause life is like a mop,
and sometimes life gets full of dirt and crud
and bugs and hairballs and stuff.
You... you... you gotta clean it out.
You... you gotta put it in here and rinse it off
and start all over again and...
and sometimes, sometimes life sticks to the floor so bad,
you know, a mop... a mop,
it's not good enough... it's not good enough.
You... you gotta get down there, like, with a toothbrush, you know,
and you gotta... you gotta really scrub.
You gotta get it off! You gotta really try to get it off.
But if that doesn't work, if that doesn't work, you can't give up.
You gotta... you gotta stand right up,
you gotta run to a window, and say,
Hey! These floors are dirty as hell

Hi, George. Well, I finished with the TV show.
What do you want me to do now?
Did you have a good time in there, Stanley?
Yeah! Oh, boy, it was fun.
Great! How'd you like to do it every day?
Yeah! That would be nea...

Do I still get to be the janitor?
Sure.

[CROWD APPLAUDING]
Okay, let's play the game.
We'll start with yesterday's winner,
Miss Phyllis Weaver.
[CROWD APPLAUDING]
Are you ready, Weaver?
I sure am, Kuni.
Okay, you get over there and spin the Wheel of Fish.
Go ahead.
Give it a big spin!
[CHEERING]
Come on, big fish!
Come to Mama! Come on!
Oh...
a red snapper.
Mmm. Very tasty.
Okay, Weaver, listen carefully.
You can hold onto your red snapper
or you can go for what's in the box
that Hiro-san is bringing down the aisle right now!
What's it gonna be?
[CROWD SHOUTING] Box! Fish!
I'll take the box! The box!
You took the box!
Let's see what's in the box!
[CROWD GASPS]
Nothing!
Absolutely nothing!

Hello.
My name is Philo,
and welcome to...
[ECHOING] Secrets of the Universe.
Today we are going to learn to make plutonium
from common household items.
Hey, man. This is Raul Hernandez,
and welcome to... Raul's Wild Kingdom,
coming to you live from my apartment.
How about that, huh?
Okay, first thing we're gonna do today
is check out the wonderful world of turtles.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
This is my friend Tommy.
Tommy, say hello to the nice people.
Hello. Ha! Isn't he great, huh?
Okay, so, the turtle is a member of the reptile family,
and he's got this hard, protective shell
which keeps predators away,
also provides him with his own home when he sleeps.
Oh, and he's got these tiny, teeny little legs
which makes him move real slow.
And not too many people know this,
but the turtle is also nature's suction cup.
- Watch this. - [THWACK]
Did you see that? It sticks! Ha!
Okay. Oh yeah. What else I got for you?
Yeah, check this out.
This is my ant farm. Now, ants are amazing.
They can carry 50 times their own weight,
and they work for weeks and weeks
building these intricate little tunnels.
And, oh, yeah, they hate it when you do this.
Oh, look!
They're really mad now.
Where did you find this guy?
Me? I thought you hired him.
For those of you just joining us,
today we're teaching poodles how to fly.
Come here, come here, Foofie.
Ah, Foofie, are you psyched?
Are you ready? Okay.
Here we go.
Get ready and fly!
[FOOFIE BARKS]
- [THUDS] - Oh, man.
You know, sometimes it takes them a little longer
to learn how to do it right.
Okay, come on, come on, come on, shut up, shut up.
Hey, hey. Who's next? Ah, Gigi.
[BARKING]
- [THUDS] - Oh, man!

Come on, Teri!
Teri! Oh, oh! I'm in hell!

Teri, pick up the phone!
Pick up the phone! Pick up the phone!
Oh! Oh, Teri!

Oh, Teri!

Ah, Richard, you shouldn't have.
Happy Father's Day, Dad.

What is this piece of crap?
I thought I told you I wanted a Rolex!
- A Rolex! - [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- What? - Sir?
What do you want?
I just thought I ought to tell you, sir, there's a lot of talk in the street
about this Channel 62.
They're starting to get a pretty strong following.
Excuse me?
- Did you say Channel 62? - Uh-huh.
Do I have to remind you that we are a network affiliate?
And we're in competition with other networks,
not with a bunch of punks broadcasting out of a closet!
- But, sir... - Do you enjoy wasting my time?
Get out of my office!
And take that ridiculous thing off!

Got the delivery here for your next show.
Oh, great. What you got?
Well, let's see, I got one aardvark, one flamingo,
four porcupines, two armadillos, three badgers.
Badgers?
We don't need no stinking badgers!

[ANNOUNCER] Conan the Librarian.
I'm sorry.
These books are a little overdue.
Ah.

Tonight, only on U-62.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna eat some corn flakes.
These are good corn...
whoa!
Free toy inside. Free toy inside.
Let's find it.
Don't let your mom know that you do this.
I want to find the toy.
Oh, look! It's a toy man.
Hey. Wanna go for a ride?
[Stanley imitating toy man] Oh, boy! Is it fun?
[NORMAL VOICE] Here, I'll just tie this around your waist.
[As toy man] Oh... wait a minute!
[NORMAL VOICE] No, I'll show you.

Okay. How's this for our new Friday night line-up?
8:00, Druids On Parade,
then The Volcano Worshippers Hour,
followed by Underwater Bingo for Teens

Why not?
Get this. I get a call this morning
from a guy who says he can swallow his own face.
Can you believe that? I...
Bob?
- What you got there? - The ratings.
Don't tell me we actually showed up on the list.
We're number one.
Say what?
W-we beat out the networks.
Th-this is unbelievable. Look at these numbers.
We've got three shows in the top five.
Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse went through the roof.
He got a 60 share! Do you know what this means?
We're finally gonna have some real money.
George, we're the number one station in town.

[ANNOUNCER] There's lots of fun coming your way

First, slam your way to health

Whoa!
[ANNOUNCER] It's a whole new weekend on U-62,

Be there! Huh huh, yah.
Fletcher: This is indeed a sad day for Channel 8.
We've been number one in this town for the past 10 years
and now our sponsors are pulling their accounts.
We're losing valuable advertising revenue.
We're losing credibility in the market.
And, Why?
Because of some fly-by-night UHF station!
A UHF station!
This is an embarrassment, a disgrace!
What do you think R.F. Fletcher, Sr. would be saying if he were alive today?
Help, let me out of this box. I can't breathe in here.
Help. Let me out.
We've gotta do something.
We've gotta do it fast.

None of your horses came in.
Oh, that's too bad.
So, uh, what's the damages, huh?
$75,000.
[STATIC]
Oh, excuse me, Louie.
I think I got a little water in the phone here.
How much did you say that was again?
$75,000.
I'll be expecting payment in two days.
Two days?
Hey, listen, Louie.
Uh, I might need a little bit more time, huh?
Friday night, 10:00.
75,000 in cash.

This is R.J. Fletcher.
Can I help you?
No, thanks. Just taking a few measurements.
Wait a minute. I think I missed something here.
Oh, didn't I tell you?
I own this place now.
You what?
What's the matter, kid, you got wax in your ears?

Harvey Bilchik is flying in tonight to close the deal.
I don't believe this.
- Hold this, kid. - George, do something.
Hey! W-wait a minute.
Don't you already own Channel 8?
I mean, isn't it illegal to own two television stations in the same town?
Oh...
really?
Gee...
I guess I'll have to turn this place into a parking lot.
[LAUGHS]
Toodle-oo! Ha ha ha!
[Horn honking]
Harvey, I still don't understand
what this is all about.
I told you, I just gotta wrap up a little business deal,
and I'll be back in a few days
and I'll tell you about it then, hmm?
You take care of yourself, you hear?
- Bye. - Bye.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
Hello?
Oh, hi, George.
It's so good to hear from you.
How's everything?
He what?
Harvey Bilchik, get in here!
Uncle Harvey, at least give me a chance
to match his offer.
Well, let me worry about
where I'm going to come up with the money.
Yeah. 75,000 in cash by Friday night.
10:00. Yeah, I got it.
Okay.
Okay, bye.
Oh, George,
where are you gonna come up with that kind of money?
Bob: Yeah, and what are you gonna do about Fletcher?

yeah, I wouldn't put anything past that guy.

I want to make sure that you're very comfortable.
Anything special you want, you just let me know.

Now... what do you say we take care of a little business?
I've got all the cash right here.
And as soon as you sign these,
- we can start celebrating. - Yeah, well, uh, listen...
I-I-I gotta talk to you about that.
What? What's wrong?
Well, uh, you see, the thing is, that, uh,
I promised George that I'd give him a chance
to get all the money by Friday night.
What are you talking about? We had a deal!
Yeah, I know, I'm sorry about that,
but it's just something I had to do. Don't worry about it.

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Hey, Dad,
you'd better turn on Channel 62.
Something funny's going on.
Bob: Now, we're not asking for donations.
What we are doing is offering this town
a unique business opportunity.
This is one share of stock in Channel 62.
Our goal over the next day and a half
is to sell 7,500 of these
at $10 apiece.
If we succeed, then the station will belong to all of us.
Now, I'm calling out an SOS!
Save Our Station.
We got volunteers right over here. They'll be taking your money.
They're gonna be working around the clock for two days
until every share is sold.
What do you say, kids? Can we do it?
[AUDIENCE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]
I think it's time you boys paid
our Mr. Spadowski a little visit.
Stanley: Uh, yeah, I'm calling you on behalf of our station.
We're having this telethon. We're trying...
we're really raising a lot of money here for the channel.
We'd really appreciate it if you could help us.
Well, you... bring your dogs down here.
I'll wash them for you.
Huh?
Pam: Well, so far, guys,
your response has really been incredible,
but we've still got a long way to go.
Remember, when you buy stock in U-62,
you're not only helping yourself and your community...
You're doing great, Stanley.
Now, remember, you gotta pace yourself.
You got a long way to go before tomorrow night.
Yeah, I can do it, George. I can do it.
All right, now, just take it easy.
[BURPS]
- Is there anything I can get you? - Uh... some Play-Doh.
Okay.
No, no, no, George, get me some bubbles,
- some real big bubbles. - I'll see what I can do.
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR] - Who is it?
[MAN] Got a pizza here for Mr. Stanley Spadowski.
Pizza? For me?
Oh, boy!
I like peppers.
But I love anchovies
because they're real fishy.
Sometimes I just like to get a pizza
with nothing on it but anchovies.
No peppers or olives or onions.
Just anchovies 'cause they're good.
So, are we going to kill him?
No. The boss just wants us to keep him on ice for a while.
Easy, easy-
Hey, wait a minute.
You guys aren't from the pizza place.
[VOCALIZING]
Oh, George! George, you've got to do something.
Every minute that Stanley's not on the air, we're losing money.
Yeah. Listen, just stall as long as you can.
- I'm sure he'll turn up. - Okay.
- What did the police say? - They're doing everything they can.
I'm telling you, George, Fletcher's behind this. I just know it.
Stanley: Okay. I'm thinking of something...
orange.
Something orange.
Orange.
You give up?
It's an orange. Get it?

Okay. Now I'm thinking of something...

Personnel's that way, young lady.
No, I'm not here about a job.
I'd like to talk to you about Channel 62.
Channel 62? Oh, yes.
My demolition team is looking forward
to turning it into a rubble heap Saturday morning.
Uh, wait a minute.
Will you please just listen?
George Newman has turned that little station
into something this community cares about.
George Newman is a two-bit little punk
who should never have stuck his nose where it didn't belong.
And if he sent you here to try to make a deal...
George doesn't know I'm here.
Look, it just seems to me that
there's more than enough room for both of you in this town.
Besides, a little competition
is always good for the community.
Fletcher: The community? Let me tell you something.
This community means about as much to me
as a festering bowl of dog snot.
Stanley: You guys?
Hey, You guys!
The blindfold fell off.
You better come fix it.
I didn't mean for it to... whoa!
Hey, my shirt glows in the dark!
[LAUGHS]
Will you shut him up?
Stanley: Oh, I got an itch. I got an itch.
I got an itch.
- I got an itch, I got an itch. - Stanley.
I don't want to have to tell you this again.
Shut up.
You're making us nuts.
Now...
I got three guys out here
that would love to cut your tongue out,
but I don't want them to do that.
I told them that in another couple of hours
this whole thing will be over,.
So, Stanley, be nice.

there comes a time in every man's life
where he has to look the potato of injustice

There's a powerful evil force in the universe.
And it lives at Channel 8. And I've seen it,

[TV ANNOUNCER] And now a special report
from the owner and general manager of Channel 8,
R.J. Fletcher.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
I come before you tonight
to speak on a matter
which is of grave concern to us all.
I want to show you
how one small television station
can single-handedly disrupt and destroy
the moral fibre of an entire community.
The following may upset you.
It may even shock you.
[TOWER CHARGES]
Fletcher: But I feel it is my duty as a concerned citizen
to bring you this important message.
This community means about as much to me
as a festering bowl of dog snot.
You think I care about the pea-brained yokels of this town?
If you took their combined IQ and multiplied it by 100,
you might have enough intelligence to tie your shoe,
if you didn't drool all over yourself first.
I can't stand those snivelling maggots.
They make me want to puke.
But there is one good thing about broadcasting
to a town full of mindless sheep...
I always know I've got them
exactly where I want them.
Ha ha ha!
Heh heh heh!
- [CLICK] - [TOWER DISCHARGES]
- [CHEERING] - Stanley: Ho ho! Ha ha ha!
$73,000!
Whoo-hoo!
We just hit the $73,000 mark!
Okay, Mouseketeers, come on.
We can do it. Woo!
What do you say, stranger?
Teri.
What are you doing here?
I thought you never wanted to see me again.
Well, whatever gave you that idea?
Well, I think my first clue was when you said
you never wanted to see me again.
Oh. Well, George...
no matter what happens tonight,
I just want you to know that I'm so proud of you.
[GIGGLING]
Uncle Harvey.
Listen, we'll definitely have the money for you,
it just may take a few minutes longer than we expected.
Look, kid, if it was up to me,
I'd let you have all the time you wanted, but you know,
Big Louie is a very punctual kind of guy, you know what I mean?
I wouldn't wanna keep him waiting.
Whoa, whoa.
Okay, okay. I know a lot of you people
probably like to wait till the last minute.
Well, this is it! This is the last minute!
Fletcher: What are you doing here?
You're disturbing the peace. Come on.
Out of the way. Why aren't you home in bed?
Get out of here.
Stand back. Out of my way.
Look out.
Crowd: Aw!
This party is over, Mr. Newman.
You can say that again.
Okay, Fletcher...
you win. Give me the money.
Settle down.
All in good time, Mr. Bilchik.
What, are you crazy? Give me the money!
Please, if you don't mind,
there are a few things I'd like to say to these people
before this transaction takes place.
[BLUBBERS] What?
[MICROPHONE FEEDBACK]
Dear friends,
I'm sure that one day you'll realize
that by shutting down
this hotbed of subversive activity...
Hey, mister!
Not now, okay?
I was just wondering if it's too late
to buy any of them shares.
I'll take whatever you got left.
- How much is that? - $2,000.
[LAUGHS] Keep the change.
Fletcher: I have decided not to tear down the building after all.
I am going to turn it into a laundromat.
Uh, Mr. Big Louie, sir?
My uncle Harvey wanted you to have this.
$75,000.
- It's all there. - [LOUIE GRUNTS]
Fletcher: Now let me tell you something...
Uncle Harvey.
Hey, what's going on here?
Ha ha ha!
Now, wait just one minute!
What do think you're doing?
We did it! The station's ours!
[CHEERING]
- Wow, look at that! - You can't do this!
We had an agreement, remember? An oral contract.
I'll sue.
Oh, blow it out your ear, scuzbag.
R.J. Fletcher?
- So what if I am? - I'm John Vickers, F.C.C.
I've noticed your that station is late
in filing its license renewal this year.
Now, normally, this kind of violation
is punishable by a stiff fine,
but I've been watching you lately.
You made a big impression on me.
Yeah, I'm revoking your license.
Effective immediately, you're off the air.
Hi, Pamela Finklestein here
coming to you with the most incredible turn of events.
Not only has the once-powerful corporate broadcasting giant
been thoroughly crushed and defeated,
but now, as luck would have it,
they've been completely stripped of their license by the F.C.C.!

Hey, you really went beyond the call of duty on this one, pal. Thanks.
I'm glad to have been of service, George.
Well, I-i-it appears my work on this planet is complete.
I must now return to my home
on the planet Zarkon.
Okay. Well, have fun.
Hey, nice going, kid.
I didn't know you had it in you.
- You're okay. - Thanks, Uncle Harvey.
- Have a nice flight back to the coast. - [HARVEY] Thanks.
- Say hi to Aunt Esther for me. - Sure will.
Excuse me.
Aren't you R.J. Fletcher?
Ye Ooh! Us?! Ugh'
[LAUGHING] Yeah!
Hey, Stanley, congratulations. You really pulled us through.
George, I want you to know that I'm mighty proud to be a part of your team.
Well, I'm mighty proud of you, too, Stanley.
In fact, I'd like to present you with a small token of my gratitude.
A trophy.
That... that's me?
Stanley... World's greatest janitor
and TV Star.
Aw, George,
I never had anybody give me a trophy before.
It's... it's big.
George, you're my best friend in the whole world.
I'm gonna go show everybody right now.
Hey, everybody,
look at what George gave me!
Hey! Hey, I know you.
You're the guy that gave me
that 1955 double-die Denver mint penny.
Oh, ho, ho, thanks a lot, mister.
That thing was worth a fortune.
When I cashed it in,
I got enough money to buy a whole bunch of shares,
plus I got me a real neat watch.
It's a Rolex. See?
[SOBBING]
Um, George?
Uh-huh?
You know those dreams you're always having?
Yeah?
Well, do you think that maybe sometime
I could be part of them?
[SOUTHERN ACCENT] Honey, from now on,
you're gonna be in all of 'em.
[SOUTHERN ACCENT] Oh, George.
Darling', let's leave this place right now.
Let's go this very minute.
No, dear, please. Let's wait till tomorrow.
But why? Why?
Because tomorrow is another day.
I knew she was going to say that.
