| (Dramatic orchestra hit) | |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Yes! Hello, if you are watching us on other planets, I want you to know that... on Earth, I am the leader, I rule! everyone on Earth must follow me! Ha ha ha ha! (aside) Don't tell them the truth, okay, Space Ghost? |
| (Opening theme music & titles) | |
| Space Ghost: | (invisos in) Greetings! I'm Space Ghost, welcome to the show. Joining me tonight, comedian Bobcat Goldthwait, and rock and roll citizens The Ramones. |
| Zorak: | (jamming) Hey ho, let's go! Hey ho, let's go! |
| Space Ghost: | Zorak is all geeked up about the Ramones being here. (Zorak keeps jamming) That's good, Zorak. (keeps jamming) That's enough Zorak. (keeps jamming) Zorak! (jamming winds down & stops) My first guest (one more note interrupts Space Ghost) ... (taps cards) My first guest is a comedian. He is Bobcat Goldthwait, welcome him! (intro music plays & screen lowers; Zorak's face is on the screen instead of Bobcat) |
| Zorak: | (imitating Bobcat) Uh, hi, Space Ghost! |
| Space Ghost: | Aaah! |
| Zorak: | (back to normal voice) Your show is lame. |
| Space Ghost: | Are you done, Zorak? |
| Zorak: | I'm Bobcat, interview me. |
| Space Ghost: | You're not fooling anyone, Zorak, we know it's you. |
| Zorak: | Is this how you treat your guests? |
| Space Ghost: | Moltar! |
| Zorak: | Wait! |

| Moltar: | Sorry, man, boss's orders. (throws lever) |
| Zorak: | No! (zaps off screen; new image is infinite regression of Space Ghost's set) |
| Space Ghost: | Hey, it's me, watching me, watching me, watching me! |
| Moltar: | Simpleton! |
| Space Ghost: | Are you lookin' at me? You must be lookin' at me. There's no one else here... (shoots at screen twice with power bands) (laughs) Alrighty! |
| Moltar: | Gawd, loser! (throws switch again, Bobcat appears) |
| Space Ghost: | Hello, Bobcat, welcome to the show. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Hi, Space Ghost, how are you today? |
| Space Ghost: | I'm energized, just like a jittering woodchuck. You know, when they cling to the side of a tree, and their jaws move up and down and up and down over and over really fast gaining speed until its just a blur of vibrating gums and lips (mouth becomes a blur) ... Energized! (more subdued) And, how are you, Bobcat? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | I'm livin' a dream, thanks a lot for having me back on the show. |
| Space Ghost: | We're certainly glad to have you back on the show. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Although I've never been on the show before, you ... |
| Space Ghost: | Of course you haven't. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | You look pretty good. |
| Space Ghost: | That's because I've been lifting heavy objects. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Really? Yeah, well, it shows, you look pretty cut, you look pretty buff. |
| Space Ghost: | Well, aren't you sweet? I like you, Bobcat. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | I like you, Space Ghost. I got a question; what's, what's your real name? |
| Space Ghost: | (pause) Uhmmm... |
| Zorak: | Tad Ghostal. |
| Space Ghost: | (glares at Zorak) |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Tad Ghostal? Really? Stick with Space Ghost, much cooler. |
| Space Ghost: | (face gets red) Er, I agree. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Wouldn't really work on the babes too much in a bar... |
| Space Ghost: | I, I agree... |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | "Hi, I'm Tad"? |
| Space Ghost: | I realize that! (pause) Zorak's real name is Katy Did. |
| Zorak: | (looking surprised) What? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | (laughs) Hi Zorak, how ya doin', pleasure to be on the show. |
| Zorak: | Oh no, the pleasure is all mine! (Pathetic Earthling! Your feeble words do not amuse me!) |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Zorak? Do you eat your young? |
| Zorak: | (looks surprised) Uh, um... |
| Space Ghost: | Zorak eats anything, young, old, and then some! (Bobcat makes "Zorak" faces while Space Ghost talks) Say, Bobcat is a good name! Tell us, what's your secret identity? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | My secret identity? Like, if you saw me in real life? |
| Space Ghost: | Uh... |
| Zorak: | Yeah, like if he saw you in real life. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Uhhhhh... I.. Joey Lawrence. |
| Space Ghost: | Get out! I've got your album! |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Yeah, girl, you know it's true. |
| Space Ghost: | I hear Blossom hates you. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Tad! |
| Space Ghost: | Well? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | See, it's an issue right now, and I feel strongly about it. |
| Space Ghost: | You don't look very strong. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Well, I may look small, but I'm pretty wiry. |
| Space Ghost: | Sorry. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Space Ghost, I've got a question for you, and this isn't, I'm not trying to be weird or anything, but... do you think I'm pretty? |
| Space Ghost: | (looks back blankly) |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Just like another guy to a guy? |
| Space Ghost: | (pause) Ummm... Yes! I think you're a pretty man. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Thank you. I think you're kind of handsome too, Space Ghost. Although the locust, hmmm, I dunno. |
| Zorak: | (glares at him, "Psycho" music plays) |
| Space Ghost: | Hmmmm, I see what you mean... But on a serious note, Bobcat, how would you stop crime in America? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | I think you wanna stop crime in America, you say a very special episode of "Blossom" where the entire cast gets ball-peen hammers in the knee caps... |
| Space Ghost: | Ooooh... |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | I promise you there'll be a half-hour of non-violent America. Because everybody'd be glued to the set. "Hey, they hit Joey Lawrence in the knee cap yet?" |
| Space Ghost: | You think that could work? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Well, no, not really, perhaps I, I need to loosen my pants. |
| Space Ghost: | Go ahead! |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | (looses pants, sound of pressure escaping) Oooo! Man, I feel better already! Wooo! |
| Space Ghost: | You should try spandex! |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Yeah, you know, I'm actually one of the only superheroes that wears leisure suits. |
| Space Ghost: | Speaking of heroes, who are yours? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Wow! Um, geez, I dunno, I like all the greats, you know, Curly. I think that's what my coif actually looks like, what if Rutger Hauer and Curly Howard pounded out a baby... "Hey, Moe, I'm a replicant! Ne ne ne ne ne!" (makes Stooge hand & face gesture) |
| Space Ghost: | (laughs) (Replicants were the evil creation of Dr. Zin) (aloud) Ahem, let's see, where am I? (mumbles) Oh! Who is your arch enemy? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | John Tesh. |
| Space Ghost: | The composer? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | The whole man. John Tesh scares me. |
| Space Ghost: | Say, do you need any weapons? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Yeah, what size power band are you? |
| Space Ghost: | Colossal! Why? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Because I have a, I'm usually like a, a small power band, believe it or not, but I've been retaining a lot of fluids lately, so, probably like a medium power band. |
| Space Ghost: | How about a nice pleated skirt? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Boy, Space Ghost, you're really switching gears! |
| Space Ghost: | Hey, it's a 15 minute show! And, we have to take a break. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | What's the locust's name again, I'm sorry? |
| Space Ghost: | Zorak. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Oh, yeah. |
| Space Ghost: | Zorak. I like saying "Zorak". |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Zorak, play me something public domain. |
| Zorak: | (plays something from their vast easy listening library) |
| Space Ghost: | We'll be right back after this. |
| Zorak: | It appears we will be right back. |
| :INTERRUPT FEED | |
| :START FEED | |
| Zorak: | Uh, because no one can stop it, the show is back. |
| (Theme music plays in background) | |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Barney's going to make more kids snap than Bugs Bunny. |
| Space Ghost: | Uh huh. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | A kid knows Bugs Bunny's joking around, kids think Barney's for real! |
| Space Ghost: | Uh huh. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | "I love you", you don't love us, Barney, you don't even know us! |
| Space Ghost: | Okay! We're back with Bobcat Goldthwait! I understand that you have special powers. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Yes. I'm able to, uh, bend forks. |
| Space Ghost: | Wow! |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | But only at Denny's. Any other kind of forks I don't seem to be able to bend. |
| Space Ghost: | Wow, now, is this physically or mentally? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Um, I do it with my mind... but you gotta look away, really, for a little while. |
| Space Ghost: | When I said you were pretty, I meant you remind me of Judy Collins. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Judy Collins? (laughs) Wow, Space Ghost, man, crack a window, will ya? |
| Space Ghost: | I'd be violently sucked into space. |
| Moltar: | Heh, then maybe people would tune in. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Well, I think Moltar's giving us the signal to wrap it up, huh, Space Ghost? |
| Space Ghost: | No, Bobcat, that's just his way of telling us to finish the interview. Join us for dinner after the show? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Thanks, I'd love to join you for dinner, but I don't know about eating with no gigantic locust. Don't they spit on their food first and then mulch it up and spit it back out? |
| Zorak: | That's regurgitational ingestion, flies do it, not locusts. |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Yeah, well that, but you know, that's exactly how I eat, so, perhaps I will dine with you. |
| Space Ghost: | Alrighty! We'll meet you in the chamber after the show. Any parting words? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Space Ghost, I want to party with you. |
| Space Ghost: | You mean with a party cake and lemonade and paper hats? |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Perhaps, perhaps. |
| Space Ghost: | Alrighty then! My next guests are Zorak's favorite band. Please welcome the Ramones! |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | Thanks, man. |
| (Ramones appear on screen) | |
| Zorak: | Hey, Joey. |
| Joey Ramone: | (waves) |
| Space Ghost: | Okay then. Identify yourselves, Ramones. |
| Johnny Ramone: | Hi, I'm Johnny Ramone. |
| Marky Ramone: | And I'm Marky Ramone. |
| Joey Ramone: | And I'm Joey. |
| C. J. Ramone: | And I'm C.J. |
| Zorak: | And I'm Zorak Ramone. |
| Moltar: | And I'm Moltar Ramone. |
| Space Ghost: | (to camera) They're not really Ramones. (to Ramones) Say, fellas, tell us about your new record. |
| Johnny Ramone: | "Acid Eaters", that's our latest album, it's a cover album of, uh, songs that were recorded in, um, generally around the 1967-68 period of time. |
| Space Ghost: | And it's just now coming out? |
| Ramones: | (all laugh) |
| Space Ghost: | Say, guys, on your third album, "Rocket Fuel", (starts gibbering) whoops, too many Cokes. |
| Ramones: | (all laugh) |
| Space Ghost: | Ah ha haa! Hey! Tell me about your music. |
| C. J. Ramone: | It's snappy. |
| Johnny Ramone: | It's always meant for rebellious kids. |
| Space Ghost: | Rebellious? |
| Johnny Ramone: | Uhhh, we're a bunch of punks. |
| Space Ghost: | Hmmm... Well, you just listen to me, you punks, I don't want any trouble from you. This is a good show. This is a clean show. This is a good clean show. |
| C. J. Ramone: | You ever get a wedgie in tights? It's not pleasant. (laughs) |
| Space Ghost: | Uhhh... |
| Bobcat Goldthwait: | (on control room monitor, with Locust text from before, to Moltar) This is going as well as the Letterman-Madonna interview. |
| Moltar: | Yup. |
| Space Ghost: | Allll right then, you punks, you're musicians, make something up for me. |
| Marky Ramone: | Well, how about: "way, we-we-way, wah wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah, way way way way way way-we-way." |
| Space Ghost: | "Way way way"; that's catchy! |
| Joey Ramone: | It was subliminal. |
| Marky Ramone: | That was, that was the instrumental part. |
| Space Ghost: | Ah!. Uh, do the word part. |
| Marky Ramone: | How about: "Space Ghost, Space Ghost, you're the most, from coast to coast..." |
| Space Ghost: | Listen, we have to go. Bobcat invited me to a party, with a party cake and lemonade and paper hats, and you can't come because you're punks and punks don't go to parties. Hey, you guys got a cake! |
| Marky Ramone: | It's a nice chocolate vanilla. |
| Johnny Ramone: | There's plates right there... |
| Space Ghost: | Hey! Where'd you guys get that cake? |
| (All Ramones are "wearing" paper hats) | |
| Marky Ramone: | You want a piece of this? |
| C. J. Ramone: | Yeah. |
| Space Ghost: | That's my party cake! Where did you guys get my party cake? Who gave them my party cake? I want my party cake! That was specifically definitely for Bobcat and me! Zorak! Did you give them my party cake? |
| Zorak: | (with paper hat on & crumbs falling out of mouth) Uh, what party cake? |
| Moltar: | (with paper hat & cake) Mmmm, chocolate party cake. |
| (Credits roll. Ghost Planet in credits is wearing a party hat) | |
| Marky Ramone: | "Way, we-we-way, wah wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah, way way way way way way-we-way. (skip) we-way. (skip) we-way (skip) we-way." (fade out) |
