"Future Boy"
|
I'm
dressed like a giant TV dinner, talking to a hologram! Now what does that make me? Eccentric. -- Sam and Al, "Future Boy" Let's say it's Friday at 8 o'clock, and you want to go back to Wednesday at 10, because you missed your favorite television program... -- Moe, describing the timonometer, "Future Boy" Before we sign off, we have time for one last letter ... Today's letter is from little Sam Beckett of Elk Ridge, Indiana, Sam writes: "Dear Captain Galaxy, could you please explain your theory of time travel to us ... -- Captain Galaxy, "Future Boy" According to my gyrograph, we are aboard a futuristic cruise ship in the year *1987*! -- Captain Galaxy, "Future Boy" How come you can never find a time machine around when you need one? -- Moe, "Future Boy" Don't tell me, let me guess -- you've been invited to a costume party and you're going as a baked potato. -- Al, "Future Boy" Boy, if only the guys at MIT could see you now. -- Al to Sam, who is dressed as a scouring pad, "Future Boy" Look, time is like a piece of string. One end of the string is birth, the other is death. You put them together, and life is a loop. Sam, that's your theory! If I can travel fast enough along the loop, I will eventually end up back at the beginning of my life. He's almost got it! -- Moe and Al, "Future Boy" Let's say we examined each others' briefs and decided to call it even. -- Al, "Future Boy" Looks like Ziggy had a sloppy floppy on this one. -- Al, "Future Boy" Moe...Moe...Moe...Larry?...Curly? nyuk nyuk nyuk. -- Sam, "Future Boy" Activate the time machine. Stand by the time accelerator. -- Captain Galaxy, "Future Boy" Shakespeare wrote dialog, Ben Harris writes television. -- Moe, "Future Boy" Don't be ridiculous, kids love violence. -- Ben Harris, TV writer, "Future Boy" I should have stayed in radio. -- Ben Harris, watching Mr. Scrubbo, "Future Boy" Quantum leap? Quantum leap ... I like that, I like that a lot. -- Sam and Moe, "Future Boy" Boy, if only the guys at MIT could see you now. -- Al (to Sam dressed up as Mr Scrubbo), "Future Boy" Your honor, Moe Stein is a dreamer. Are we going to punish people for that? Because if we are, we're gonna' need a much bigger room than this. -- Sam, "Future Boy" Sam, hurry up before he turns himself into a french fry! -- Al, "Future Boy" It's a chicken... an upside down chicken. -- Sam, "Future Boy" |
