Bit: What's Your Dream? Episode: 201- Rocketship X-M Transcribed by Lorrie Matheson [SOL] (J&TB are sitting around staring out into space, quoting dreamy verses and stuff.) Joel: What do you guys wanna do with your life? What are your dreams? I mean, where do you wanna be in two years? Crow: Beauty walks the razor's edge. Someday I'II make it mine. Tom: Bless the beasts and the children. Joel: Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you walk near? Crow: All I want is a tall ship and a star to sail her by. Tom: Oz never did give nothin' to the Tin Man. Joel: One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. Crow: I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night. Tom: Half-breed. That's all I ever heard. Joel: We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun. Crow But the stars that we reached were just starfish on the beach. Tom: Dames like this always got beer around. Joel: What? Crow: Huh? Tom: Oh, oh, oh. I mean...Filled with mingled cream and amber I will drain that glass again. Such hilarious visions clamber. (Joel and Crow stare blankly) Poe! Crow and Joel: Ohhhhhh.... Crow: Hey, there's a ship out there! Joel: Who said that? Crow: I did. Tom: That's beautiful. Crow: No, no, no. There's, really, there's a ship outside. Joel: Oh, it just goes on like that? Crow: No, outside, there's a ship outside. Tom: Oh, you mean outside the bounds of earthly restraint? Crow: No, no, out there. See, look! Joel: Yikes, he's right. Hey, Cambot, give me Rocket Number Nine, I need an exterior of the ship. Let's go, you guys. There's somebody outside the ship...and they're trying to hail us. Check it out on the Hexfield Viewscreen. [Valeria appears on viewscreen] Valeria: Hello, puny earthling. Tom: Oh, hi! Oh, I think she's talking to Joel. Valeria: I have come these many light years to find you, and now...you and your daughter are doomed. Crow: Maybe she's talking about Gypsy, Joel. Valeria: You and your daughter will never escape the power of the Dogwa. Joel: Dogwa? Doug...Doug Warren? I haven't seen him since high school. Dark One? I don't know any Dark One. Valeria: You dare to mock me? See if you can mock me in the Room of Questions. Tom: Uh, Joel, who is she, and what the heck does she mean? Joel: Just let me handle this. I know how to talk to these space vixens. [uses Binaca] Uh, I could never give in to your demands...you'll...never getÉany satisfaction...out of me. Valeria: Not even a little? Joel: No. God, she's ugly. Valeria: Okay, well. Then gotta go. Bye, bye! Joel: Wait! Valeria: Kick it down, Tork. Crow: Wait, wait, wait, Joel! Maybe she can help us get back down to Earth. Joel: Yeah. Can you rescue us or help us? Valeria: To Earth? I don't know. What does it look like? Joel: We have to get down to Earth! Valeria: How nice for you. Well, gotta go, ciao! Bye, bye! Tork, kick it down. [in deep voice] I live to serve you. [in "normal" voice] Bye, bye! Joel and the bots: (variously) Wait, hey! [viewscreen closes] Joel: Oh, man. Tom: What a strange woman. Kinda makes you think, though, doesn't it? Crow: Yeah. Guess you don't have to be a rocket scientist to uh, pilot a rocketship. Joel: Well, at least we still got each other, you guys. Crow: Yeah...no matter where I serve my guests, it seems they like the kitchen best. Tom: Yeah, and if you don't believe the dead come back to life, huh, you should see this place around quitting time. Joel: Yeah, it's a nice day for a white wedding. We got commercial sign. Crow: Hey, I'm moved. Who said that? Tom: Uh, was that Blake? Or Yeats, perhaps? Or Rod McKuen? Hmmm... Crow: Hmmm.... (cut) .
