Crow: Can't talk. Must play.

Mike: ..and Tom Servo.

Tom: Block, kick, punch!

Mike: The good folks at Playstation Underground asked us to look at some of their work from the past years.

Tom: Yeah, meaning they bought us off with a bunch of Playstations.

Crow: ...and a mess of neat games.

Mike: Oh well, uh and we're gonna head into the theater in a minute, but uh, first I just wanna get one more goal at NHL Faceoff '98.

Tom: Meaning ya fairly stink at it! Huh!

Mike: Hey.

Tom: Well my arms don't work and I'm doing better than you! JUMP, KICK, TURN!

Crow: Yeah, Mike, why don't you go back to playing Pong.

Tom: Yeah, face it bub. You'll never master the subtle power of Parappa the Rappa.

Crow: ...or the lightning fast reflexes of Crash Bandicoot! (Mike looks at Crows TV)

Mike: Oh really, Crow, is that why Crash keeps getting pummeled by penguins, huh?

Crow: Well it's slippery in there! Hey, c'mon, Bandicoot, ya big....THING! (Mike now looks at Tom's TV)

Mike: And uh, Tom. I noticed your onion head guy has fallen down a lot and, well uh, farty.

Tom: Well yeah, I want him to do that.

Mike: Well don't get cocky it's gonna get rocky. (Lights flash and sound buzzes.) We're gonna head into the theater now...
