Ah, Zelda, I knew the first time I saw you, it was love at first sight. Tell me how much you love me.

ZELDA:
Two oranges and a banana.

MICKY:
Two oranges and a banana. Nothing will stand in the way of our love. It’ll go on, onward and onward through life. Hand in hand with…

ZELDA:
Two lemons and a crabapple.

MICKY:
Two lemons and a crabapple. Zelda, I don’t have any more money.

Hey, kid, don’t bet that number; it’s unlucky.

BIGGY:
Now, are you leaving?

Yes, we’re leaving. Here we go. Leaving. Ready to leave. Ah huh.

I’m sorry.

DAVY:
You must be joking!

PETER:
Oh, someone’s at the door.

BIGGY:
Hi, I’m the maintenance man.

PETER:

BIGGY:
We must maintain.

DAVY:

With the vacuum cleaner.

DAVY:
Not with a vacuum—

BIGGY:
Hey! Who are you?

DAVY:
I’m the maintenance man—no, I’m not the maintenance man. You’re the maintenance man.

BIGGY:
I’m the maintenance man.

DAVY:
No, you can’t be; maintenance men don’t come that short.

PETER:
Yes, they do. I mean, he-he’s not so short. Hey, show us—stand up and show ’em how tall you are.

BIGGY:
I am standing up.

DAVY:

MANAGER:
Don’t look down. Help me. I’ve got nothing but aggravation. I mean, this wheel is completely ruined. I can’t even use it again. There’s a wire attached to the thing. It’s just rigged. It’s bugged. It’s just a total loss. I’ve sent for the police. They’ll help me, ’cause I know nobody else in the world helps you but yourself. I just sent for the police ’cause it’s their job. You know, I’m just a nervous wreck. Oh, officer. Thank goodness you’re here. I just found this wire attached to the wheel, and whenever I’d shift my stick, the house would lose a bet. Could you die?

POLICEMAN:
Stick shift.

MANAGER:
Yes.

POLICEMAN:
Wired wheels.

MANAGER:
Mm-hm.

POLICEMAN:
Sounds like a fast gang.

MANAGER:
It is.

POLICEMAN:
Let’s go get ’em.

Okay. Oh, lord. Hurry up.

We’ve been robbed!

DAVY:
Police, police.

POLICEMAN:
We’re the police.

MIKE:
What took you so long?

MICKY:
Ah huh ha ha.

MANAGER:
That’s the one called Magic Fingers.

MICKY:
Yes, Magic Fingers. I’d like to report our money’s been robbed, stolen.

POLICEMAN:
Are you willing to sign a statement to that effect?

MICKY:
Of course.

MIKE:
Of course we are. Now. Give this to Micky.

DAVY:
Okay. Micky, Mike sent that.

MICKY:
Ah. How you make capital M?

MIKE:
Capital M? You take one line, forty-five degree angle, ninety degree angle to that line, forty-five degree angle to the end of the line.

MICKY:
Got it.

DAVY:
Oh.

MICKY:
Ah. Pencil broke.

MIKE:
Oh.

MICKY:
Well.

MICKY:
What?

MIKE, PETER:
What?

DAVY:
Arrest?

POLICEMAN:
Get ’em!

DAVY:
No, no, we’d never—

PETER:
No!

DAVY:
We’re honest—

MICKY:
Boo!

PETER:
Hey, you guys have got this all wrong.

DAVY:
You’re supposed to arrest the criminal, not the victim.

MIKE:
You know the one who commits the crime.

MICKY:
Didn’t you learn that in cop shop?

POLICEMAN:
Move. Move.

MICKY:
Police brutality!

INT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS

POLICEMAN:
Now, where’s the money?

MIKE:
Ah! You can’t bring us in here like this. I know my consti—oh!—constitutional rights.

POLICEMAN:
That’s right.

PETER:
You didn’t inform us of our right to have counsel.

POLICEMAN:
I understand.

MICKY:
You can’t make me just sign a piece of contract paper that I don’t know what it is.

POLICEMAN:
You’re right.

DAVY:
So why are you doing all this thing here with this stuff and all that?

POLICEMAN:
That’s the way I always do it.

PETER:
Oh.

MIKE:
Oh, I see.

DAVY:
Oh, I understand.

POLICEMAN:
Now where’s the money?

MIKE:
Some crooks stole it.

POLICEMAN:
The stolen money you stole was stolen?

MIKE:
Ye—uh, yeah.

POLICEMAN:
Come on. You can think of a better story than that.

MIKE:
Okay, dig, uh, there was this, uh, uh, beans.

PETER:
Yeah.

DAVY:
Beans.

MIKE:
With this cow this cat had he got for some beans.

POLICEMAN:
What was his name?

MIKE:
Jack.

PETER:
Yeah.

MICKY:
Jack.

POLICEMAN:
Jack.

PETER:
And it grew up into this, uh, uh, beanstalk.

MANAGER:
Wait a minute! Wait a second! I suppose you didn’t know about the roulette wheel being rigged, did you?

PETER:
The reel was wigged?

DAVY:
The reel was wigged!

MIKE:
Officer, arrest this man.

MANAGER:
Wait. I didn’t do it. I’m innocent. I didn’t do a thing.

MICKY:
The wheel was rigged? You mean I didn’t win? These aren’t magic fingers? They’re just plain old fingers.

PETER:
Oh.

DAVY:
I think you have nice fingers, Micky.

MANAGER:
Look, fellas, I got a deal. You get the money back in twenty-four hours, and I won’t press charges.

MICKY:
Okay.

MIKE:
Okay.

MANAGER:
But if you don’t get it back in twenty-four hours, it’s twenty years.

INT. CASINO HOTEL

MICKY:
Twenty years? We’re gonna go to jail for twenty years, and we don’t even know who the crooks are.

MIKE:
Well, if we can’t find the crooks, maybe we can get the crooks to find us.

DAVY:
How can we do that, Mike?

PETER:
Why don’t we open a prison?

MIKE:
Ooh! Ooh!

MICKY:
Ooh, is that stupid!

MIKE:
Ooh, dumb!

DAVY:
Oh, Peter. Peter!

MIKE:
Stupid idea, wow, man. Hold it, guys.

DAVY:
What?

MIKE:
I know what we’ll do.

DAVY:
Where’s Peter gone? Oh, there he is.

Right! Hey, uh, don’t bother the Professor while he’s thinking.

BIGGY:
Who are you?

MICKY:
I’m, um, the Insidious Strangler. I’m the boss of this, uh, gang.

BIGGY:
Well, my boss wants to know what your gang is doing in town.

MICKY:
Well, me boss says my gang is here for robbery, extortion, and murder.

MIKE:
Sort of your regular—

MICKY (V.O.):
—tourist activities.

PETER:
Actually we’re here to play a gig.

DAVY:
Peter!

PETER:
Hm?

BIGGY:
Look, when my boss wants to know something, you better tell him.

MICKY:
Who’s gonna make me?

[Biggy breaks a croupier stick over his head.]

MICKY:
Mauler. Come here. Come here, Muscles.

DAVY:
Yeah?

MICKY:
This is Muscles the Mauler.

DAVY:
Oh, yeah.

MICKY:
Show him.

MANAGER:
Go play in traffic if you’re not gonna gamble.

MICKY:
Show him the same thing.

DAVY:
Oh, really?

MICKY:
Ha ha.

DAVY:
Same thing, right?

MICKY:
Yeah, the same thing.

[Davy breaks a croupier stick over Biggy’s head.]

MICKY:
Yeah. How do you like that?

BIGGY:
That’s pretty good.

MANAGER:
Oh, come on, now! Separate checks for these two. Now, this is ridiculous. I only got one left.

MICKY:
Vicious Killer here spent two years in solitary confinement.

BIGGY:
Was it tough?

MICKY:
Nah. He did it standing on his head.

BIGGY:
Good. I’ll give him two more years to get back on his feet again.

MANAGER:
If you aren’t gonna gamble, will you please hurry up please?

BIGGY:
What do you do for this gang?

PETER:
We’re here to take over this town and win all the money.

BIGGY:
How?

PETER:
Well, I have this system, see? It’s almost perfected. You square the linear coefficient of the cube root raised to the power of X, and then we invert the logarithms like this, and now we add seven plus five, which equals eleven, and we extrapolate the third derivative—

BIGGY:
Hold it. Hold it. Seven plus five equals twelve.

PETER:
You’re right. You’re right! You’re right! This perfects my system! My system is perfect! I have it!

MIKE:
Isn’t that dumb?

Uh, well, it’s the, uh, i-i-it depends on the equalization of ratios.

BOSS:
Oh. It’s the old equalization of ratio bit, eh?

PETER:
Right. Yes. That’s right.

BOSS:
Go ahead.

PETER:
Well, i-it’s, uh—equal things are e—you know, when you put them—here. Let me show you. Um, first of all, you, uh, like, take, uh, see, two glasses. The same amount in, uh, both. See? And, uh, they have equal amounts in them, and therefore, they are the same as each other. See? Well, they’ll—they’re different. Here. You take this one and, uh, you take this, and you’ll see that if you drink together, you’ll find that they are unequal, and when they are unequal, that the ratios can no longer be equalized. Now, here, have a little of this and, uh, we’ll, um, have a little of that. Here.

BOSS:
Ah, thank you. Mm-hm.

PETER:
Yeah, here, have some more. Th-this one is the good one, and, uh, we can see that that’s a sixteen red there, and the black is, uh, right.

Uh, sixteen red eye and sixteen black eye, and, uh, here, have some—

MICKY:
Beautiful, Peter. Beautiful. Beautiful. Lovely. Lovely.

Twenty-four red.

MICKY:
Twenty… twenty-four red. See, they’ll lose in the first spin.

MANAGER:
You better make sure they lose that money.

What did you say?

MICKY:
Hm. I said, “You could choose on the first win”.

BOSS:
I did, and twenty-four red better win.

MICKY:
Ah.

Hey, don’t I know you?

MICKY:

Oh!

It’s a fixed machine. It’s my own. I don’t understand this aggravation.

Lucky guess, I guess.

Lucky? You better believe it.

Remember, if you win more than a million, we throw the key away and fill the cell with cement.

Good thinking!

He’s got nothing here, but he’s got it here. Hm. Good thinking.

MICKY:
I guarantee you’ll get your money back. They can’t possibly win this time. I stake my life on it.

I know! Have you been in Dez Moines?

MICKY:
Uh, you mean Des Moines?

ZELDA:
No, Dez Moines.

Wow!

Now, then—over-over here, kiddie. Yeah. Uh, for all practical purposes, you see, the show is over, uh, but we have in the television industry what they call a tag, uh, which is some sort of just complete laugh riot at the end of a show—

DAVY:
Heh heh heh.

MIKE:
—so that y’all tune back in next week, you see, because it’s so hilarious. Now, the tag we’re gonna do this week is called a “here we go again” tag, and Davy and Peter are gonna do it. It involves Micky.

DAVY:
To think none of this would have happened if Micky hadn’t-a got the gambling bug.

PETER:
Boy, but we’re sure not gonna get involved in that scene again, are we, Micky?

DAVY:
Never again.

PETER:
Micky? Micky?

DAVY:
Micky?

PETER:
M—uh, Micky?

DAVY:
Micky?

MIKE:
Okay, now, wait a minute. Hold it, guys. Now, you see, we cut over to Micky, and you see him playing with a gambling machine. And now you cut back to us. And now you cut back to us. And now you cut back to us. And now you cut back to us, and we’re supposed to give a pained look to the camera. Isn’t that funny, kids? Ah ha ha ha! Whoa ha ha!
