ALICE: ...it's been a real thrill it's been to entertain y'all tonight!

LARRY: That's right, sis! One of our greatest audiences ever!


BRIAN: You two say the same bullshit every night.

ALICE: Brian, just shut up and take your stupid bow.


ALICE: Okay guys! If you'll kindly exit through the front curtain, we'd appreciate it! We hope to see you at our next show!

LARRY: Don't forget to tell your friends about us! Remember, there's a complimentary box of popcorn for every five referrals!


BRIAN: Jeez Barnum, can you believe the size of that crowd tonight? We're rich!


ALICE: Take care, everyone! Have a safe trip home!

LARRY: Wow, what a show!

BRIAN: I know, I was just saying -- we must've made ten thousand bucks tonight!


LARRY: What do you think, sis? Ten thousand? Maybe more?

ALICE: We'll find out when we count it! Let's do that tomorrow; I'm pretty exhausted from that ridiculously convoluted trapeze act you insisted we do.

LARRY: Well excuse me for taking pride in my work.


ALICE: I'm gonna hit the hay, would you guys mind doing the big sweep?

LARRY: Sure, but before you go, uh...take a look in the stands.


LARRY: I think one of our fans is hoping for a meet-and-greet.


ALICE: I don't remember that guy coming in. Did he buy a ticket from any of you?

LARRY: Not me.

BRIAN: Me neither.

LARRY: You mean "me either."

BRIAN: I really don't.


ALICE: I wonder what he wants. Maybe he's autograph hunting?

LARRY: He ain't getting no freebies. Everyone knows that our signed 8x10's are fifteen bucks.


LARRY: He looks a little mean and weird, doesn't he?

ALICE: We've had worse. Remember that busload of shriners last week? Woof.


LARRY: Sis, tell him to leave, will ya?

ALICE: Ugh, FINE. But then I'm going to bed and you guys are cleaning up the place, got it?

LARRY: Yeah whatever, just take care of the green dude.

HSSXXLLLO: I've got to get my normal body back! There's nothing I can do in this form!


HSSXXLLLO: Maybe if I squint my eyes and tense up all of my muscles, magic will happen!


HSSXXLLLO: Unnnnngh! Unnnnnnnnngh!


HSSXXLLLO: Oh my goodness! Thank Leviathan -- I'm back to my old self!


HSSXXLLLO: ...but I can't spare a moment to celebrate. I've got to rescue my friends!


HSSXXLLLO: Sorry about this, bud, but if I'm going to save my friends from the hands of some warped demon, I'm gonna need help. Gutting your corpse and replacing the organic tissue with wires and shit is my only choice!


HSSXXLLLO: That should do it. You're officially a robot clown. But...are you operational?


HSSXXLLLO: Say something, please!


....


....


ROBOCLOWN: Domo arigato!


HSSXXLLLO: Yes!!! Okay Roboclown, we have to hurry! I'll bring you up to speed later, but here are the basics: Some crazy, green-faced monster attacked me and my friends, turned our animals into giant crabs, killed a bunch of us and kidnapped the rest!

ROBOCLOWN: Even with my robot brain, I find this very confusing.


HSSXXLLLO: Grrr, I'll explain later! Just find whatever weapons you can, and let's get out of here!


ROBOCLOWN: I believe I have found an artifact that fits your direction.


ROBOCLOWN: So where are we going, exactly?

HSSXXLLLO: Wish I knew. He could've gone anywhere.

ROBOCLOWN: And who is "he?"

HSSXXLLLO: I already told you! Ugh, had I known you were going to be one of those "sassy" robots, I would've just resurrected Man Eating Chicken instead.


HSSXXLLLO: Holy Mary. I still can't believe what happened here last Christmas.


HSSXXLLLO: Look at this...there are bodies everywhere! These were my friends, Roboclown!

ROBOCLOWN: Highly unsanitary, this place is.


ROBOCLOWN: And who is this creature? He doesn't look like the rest.

HSSXXLLLO: Man...I can't believe it. That was Waiterbot. I can't believe Waiterbot's dead!


WAITERBOT: I am not dead, fool rabbit!

HSSXXLLLO: AHHHH! What the fuck?!


HSSXXLLLO: How can you be alive?!


WAITERBOT: Have you never discovered the glories of playing possum, Hssxxlllo? I acted dead so I wouldn't have to be dead for real! A genius plan!

HSSXXLLLO: So you've been laying out here for half a year, pretending to be dead?

WAITERBOT: Nobody but me could pull off such a stunt!


WAITERBOT: Now get this fucking fire truck off of my legs!


WAITERBOT: Finally. Okay rabbit, tell me, what sort of insolent rescue plan have you conjured?

HSSXXLLLO: I'm not sure I have one. We just gotta figure out where that jerk took Kuse and everyone else, and save them!

WAITERBOT: Yeah...if they're still alive.

HSSXXLLLO: The glass is never half full with you.


HSSXXLLLO: Let's go that way. It looks like a clearer path.

WAITERBOT: West?! You want to go west?! Everyone knows that west sucks!


WAITERBOT: Wh--wha?!! You're serious? You're seriously going west?!

HSSXXLLLO: Look Waiterbot, we don't have time for this. Either come with us or don't. Your choice.

WAITERBOT: Bah, fine, whatever, I'll take your insipid westward route. Anything to get away from this god damned piece of shit circus.

HSSXXLLLO: Amen to that.


ROBOCLOWN: That was a circus?! What the hell was I doing there in the first place?!
