:WAITING

Space Ghost: (sitting at desk, reading a speech) ... but most of all, I'd like to take a moment to thank the one person who's made all of this possible... (close up) me, Space Ghost! Thank you, me!

Moltar: Ten seconds, Space Ghost.

Space Ghost: Okay, everyone, on your toes, let's be really great tonight. I can see it now... first, the Cable Ace awards. Then the Emmy, Tony, Oscar, Shecky, Lulu, Dean Martin roast, Secret Squares, Star Search, spokesmodel...

Brak: Hey!

Space Ghost: Aaugh!

Brak: All hail Brak!

Space Ghost: No!

Brak: Let Brak do the intro! Live from Ghost Planet, it's Brak!

Space Ghost: No!

Brak: Let Brak sing the theme!

Space Ghost: No, no, no, no!

Brak: La la la la la la la la la!

Moltar: You're on!

(Opening theme & titles; Brak sings along)

Space Ghost: (Invisos in to set) Who let that little creep on? Didn't anyone listen to what I said? Didn't I just get through telling you, I want this show to be as smooth as a baby's...

Zorak: Space Ghost!

Space Ghost: What?

Moltar: Like, we're on the air, man!

Space Ghost: Er, uh, what? But, but I'm not ready! That, that little creep threw me off! Quick, start over!

Moltar: What?

Zorak: You jerk, Space Ghost, we're live! You can't start over!

Space Ghost: Er, er, um, uh, well then, uh, everyone close your eyes!

Zorak: What?

Space Ghost: Close them!

Zorak: Oy gevalt! (closes eyes)

Space Ghost: (to camera) You too, home Citizens! (screen goes black) (sound of drums, glass breaking, chicken squawking) Ow!

Zorak: Space Ghost!

Space Ghost: Okay now, open them!

Zorak: (eyes still closed) Aaagh! Ayee! My eyelids are encrusted shut! Help me! Help meeeee!

Space Ghost: (in low voice) Ten seconds and already this one's in the toilet. (normal voice) Oh, er, um, Greetings! I'm Space Host! (laughs) Woopsie daisy! As you can see, things are a little bit zany tonight, a little wacky, a little kooky (ripping sound)

Zorak: Wacky?

Moltar: Kooky?

Space Ghost: And that's because tonight's show's a real doozy! My guests are sassy comedic chanteuse, Sandra Bernhard, and... wait a second... Moltar, is this right? A mere hardware store owner, on tonight's award-winnable doozy?

Moltar: His name is Palmer Mills... nice guy.

Space Ghost: An average citizen? On my doozy? Moltar, what gives?

Moltar: Eh, we got him dirt cheap.

Space Ghost: (sighs) Uh, well, besides that star-studded line-up, we've added oodles of exciting new features to our show.

Zorak: What a load of...

Space Ghost: What's that, Zorak? What are these loads of excitement? Well, for starters, we have a live studio audience here in the studio! Completely live! (applause) We'll also be taking your live calls and questions, here at the Ghost Planet, live! (phone rings) Not now!

(Subtitles:)
do not call in...
this is a cartoon joke show
what are you, stupid?

Space Ghost: And finally, we'll have a human sacrifice! (does double take) What?

Zorak: (evil laugh) Live!

Space Ghost: Not happening, funny boy.

Zorak: Rats!

Audience: (boos)

Space Ghost: Before we start tonight's incredible show, let's say hello to our live studio audience. (shows audience full of mantises) Baba ghanoush, it's the lone audience of the apocalypse! Zorak, do you know these people?

Zorak: Nein! Nein! What are you inferring, Space Ghost?

Uncle Judy: (in Southern accent) Zo-rak! Zo-rak! Ovah heah!

Aunt Lars: Hi, Zo-rak!

Zorak: Oh, uh, hi, Uncle Judy, Aunt Lars. Uh, sorry about Raymond.

Aunt Lars: That's okay, we was gonna eat him up anaway.

Audience: (laughter)

Space Ghost: I don't find that funny.

Zorak: Don't be such a jerk, Space Ghost.

Space Ghost: That's the second time you called me a jerk tonight!

Zorak: Oh, my, Space Jerk can count!

Audience: (laughter)

Space Ghost: Don't call me a jerk, Zorak! You... you... you jerk!

Zorak: I'm not a jerk! You're the jerk!

Space Ghost: No, you are!

Zorak: You are!

Space Ghost: You are!

Zorak: You are!

Space Ghost: Jerk!

Zorak: Jerk!

Space Ghost: Jerk!

Zorak: Jerk! (they both repeat "Jerk!" faster and faster)

Space Ghost: Enough... We've wasted too much award-winning time! Moltar, first guest! Get Sandra on!

Moltar: Yeah, whatever. Jerk!

Space Ghost: My first guest is that wild and crazy girl of the minute, star of her own multi-something extravaganza, Sandra Bernhard!

Audience: (applause)

Moltar: Sorry, man, she, she's not ready.

Space Ghost: Oh, this is great! Just dandy! Now I'll have to talk to that ordinary guest guy!

Salesman: (appears on monitor) For your free copy...

Space Ghost: (monitor changes again, shows Palmer Mills) Who's that?

Moltar: It's your guest.

Space Ghost: Oh, terrific! Whoopee! Welcome to the show, plain old average garden variety non-celebrity citizen whoever.

Palmer Mills: Glad to be with you today.

Space Ghost: Yeah, I bet you are, Joe Plainfolks. (condescending) So, you own a hardware store! How nice! Any interesting stories to tell?

Palmer Mills: I thought you'd ask that...

Space Ghost: Nope, didn't think so. You know, I could bench press you from now 'til doomsday. What do you think of that, average citizen?

Palmer Mills: (stunned silence) Well...

Space Ghost: Think it'll rain today? How about those Dallas Cowboys? Boxers or briefs?

Palmer Mills: Well, that's a rather pointed question...

Space Ghost: Well, isn't that what you average citizens talk about, hmmmm, huh, hmmmm? Answer me!

Zorak: Space Ghost! He's a guest!

Space Ghost: Some guest he is! Look at him, he's mundaning up my whole show! How can I win any awards with material like this? This show needs oomph, pizzazz, joy d'vivre! Moltar! Is Sandra ready yet?!

Moltar: Well, um... no.

Space Ghost: Plan B! Take some calls! (phone rings, he answers) Welcome to my shoe, caller, what would you like to talk to me about?

Caller 1: Actually, I wanted to ask Mr. Mills what he thinks of Tim Allen.

Palmer Mills: Tim Allen... let's see, he doesn't, he doesn't have a store in our, our town.

Audience: (laughter)

Moltar: (laughs)

Zorak: (laughs)

Space Ghost: Hey! I do the jokes here! Next caller! Hello? You're on the air with Space Ghost!

Caller 2: (actually Lokar) Hello? Hello?

Space Ghost: (recognizing that it's Lokar) Okay, I see how it is.

Caller 2: Uh, hello, Mr. Mills? What would you suggest using for eradicating giant mantises?

Zorak: What! Is that you, Lokar?

Palmer Mills: Sevin dust. Malathion. Either one of those would be great for it.

Space Ghost: Hmmm! Sevin dust in metal can. I'll have to remember that. Hey, you know something, Joe? That reminds me, maybe I should come to your store. I need to replace my... Orgone... Zargon... Zargonite...

Zorak: (laughs)

Palmer Mills: Zorgonute Branch.

Space Ghost: I know how to say it, earthling! I am a talk show host, y'know. I know how to say things! I can say lots of things! Tuna fish! Parentheses! Coochie-coochie girl Charo! Zingnut Ranch!

Palmer Mills: Zorgonute Branch.

Space Ghost: That cuts it, Hardware Boy! No skinny pink boy's gonna tell me how to say things on my show! Moltar! Get him off!

Audience: (boos)

Zorak: Sheesh! What a jerk!

Space Ghost: Everyone be quiet or I'll clear the room! Moltar! Sandra Bernhard, now!

Moltar: She went out for... knishes.

Space Ghost: (pause) Okay, okay, I think we should take a break. Now, let's go to break.

Brak: (appears on monitor) Hail, Brak!

Moltar: Hail, Brak!

Audience: Hail, Brak!

Space Ghost: Not Brak, break! Break!

Audience: Hail Brak! Hail Brak! Hail Brak! ...

Space Ghost: (sighs) I'm an unhappy space man...

:INTERRUPT FEED

:START FEED

Moltar: (in control room) Sorry about SG, man, he's, he's bein' a real jerk today.

Palmer Mills: I was a little bit blundersome on some of them, wasn't I?

Moltar: Oh, no, no, you were great, you were great. Are we still on for going fishin'? Is this weekend good for you?

Palmer Mills: Any time, any time.

Audience: (applause)

Space Ghost: Zorak! I'm warning you!

Zorak: (makes raspberry sound)

Moltar: Ix-nay, Ost-ghay.

Space Ghost: Oh, hi! Heh heh, we're back to the show, where any day now my guest will be the lovely Sandra Bernhard. In the meantime, let's take some more calls, from you, the viewers. Hello, you're on the air.

Caller 3: Hello, can I, can I speak to Mr. Mills?

Space Ghost: Sorry, he's off the show. Next!

Caller 4: Uh, yes, I have a question for Miss Bernhard.

Space Ghost: Sorry, she's not in yet. Do you have a question or comment for me?

Caller 4: (hangs up, off-hook busy signal)

Space Ghost: (sullen) Doesn't anyone want to speak to me? I'm the host... (angry) Next caller!

Caller 5: (sexy female voice) Hello, Zorak?

Zorak: Yes?

Caller 5: Play "Misty" for me.

Zorak: Aaaagghhhh!

Space Ghost: Next caller!

Caller 6: Is your refrigerator running?

Space Ghost: What a stupid question! Of course it is!

Caller 6: Better go catch it!

Audience: (laughter)

Moltar: (laughs)

Zorak: (laughs)

Space Ghost: I don't get it. What's so darn funny?

Zorak: What a jerk!

Space Ghost: Hello!

Caller 7: Paging Space Ghost!

Space Ghost: You! Haven't I told you never to call me here? Moltar! Hang up!

Moltar: (throws switch)

Space Ghost: Next caller.

Caller 8: (actually Jan and Jace) (off-hook busy signal) Jerk!

Space Ghost: Next call!

Caller 9: Hello? Mr. Tad Ghostal?

Space Ghost: Heh! It's for me! Yes, Citizen?

Caller 9: Mr. Ghostal, I'm calling about your long distance service.

Space Ghost: Ack! Not interested!

Caller 9: If I could just have a moment of your time...

Space Ghost: Blow off, wage slave.

Caller 9: (shocked) Jerk! (slams receiver)

Zorak: Why are you such a jerk tonight, Space Ghost? Is it the loneliness?

Space Ghost: Well...

Audience: (laughter)

Space Ghost: Hey! I'm not lonely! And I'm not a jerk!

Zorak: Yes, yes! You're the loneliest jerkiest jerk! You're King Jerk!

Space Ghost: Zorak!

Audience: (laughter throughout)

Zorak: Lord Jerk! Emperor Jerk! Pope of the Jerks!!

Space Ghost: Zorak!

Zorak: Jerk-meister, jerk-arino, jerk-enstein, jerk-o, beef-jerky, jerky beefaghetti boy, jerk-a-mundo!

Space Ghost: Zorak, I am rubber, Zorak, and you are glue!

Zorak: Only the Grand King Jerk would say that!

Space Ghost: (phone rings) Moltar! The phone!

Moltar: (laughs)

Space Ghost: Moltar!

Moltar: (still laughing) What?

Space Ghost: The phone!

Moltar: Oh, yeah, can you get that?

Space Ghost: Oh, okay (answers the phone) Hello? (no response) Hello!

Chad Ghostal: Hello, Tad!

Space Ghost: That, that voice!

Chad Ghostal: Do you know who this is, Taddy-kins?

Space Ghost: Good Lord! I know that voice! But it can't be! You're...

Chad Ghostal: In the asylum? Oh no, Taddy boy, not anymore! I escaped last night!

Space Ghost: Eh, uh, now look, Chad...

Zorak: Chad? Who's Chad?

Space Ghost: Ohhh, just evil, pure and simple, that's all. Let's not discuss it.

Zorak: Evil Chad?

Space Ghost: No, he's my... (dramatic sting music) evil twin!

Zorak: Evil twin?

Space Ghost: Yes, my evil twin! Chad Ghostal! Doesn't everyone have an evil twin?

Moltar: No.

Zorak: Not me, brother.

Palmer Mills: No, no, no.

Space Ghost: (pause) Ah, we walk alike, we talk alike...

Zorak: What a crazy pair!

Space Ghost: Then, one day, a hot dog made him lose control.

Chad Ghostal: (still on phone) Tad, do you remember when we were young, how I would make you cry. The ropes, Tad, remember the ropes? How I'd twist them and twist them, and keep twisting them until...

Space Ghost: (nervous laughter) Can't talk now, Chad, got a talk show to do, you know. (invisos out)

Chad Ghostal: Wait for me, Tad, wait for me, I'll be right over! (evil laugh) (hangs up, off-hook busy signal)

Zorak: (long pause while everyone looks in shock at the empty studio) Uh, Space Ghost,

Space Ghost: (still inviso'ed out) Uh, yeah?

Zorak: Is your evil twin a jerk too?

Audience: (laughter)

Space Ghost: (invisos back in) I've had it with you, Mr. Funny Bug! You don't want me to win any awards, do you, Mr. Funny Bug?

Zorak: "Mr. Funny Bug"?

Audience: (in unison) "Mr. Funny Bug"?

Sandra Bernhard: (now on screen) (laughs) (exchanges stares with Zorak)

Space Ghost: Sandra, can't you see I'm in the middle of something?

Sandra Bernhard: (stares at Zorak)

Space Ghost: (pause) Sandra! Moltar, why didn't you tell me she was ready? Uh, hello, Citizen Sandra! It's about time. I mean, welcome to the show!

Audience: (applause)

Sandra Bernhard: Wow!

Zorak: Hey Sandra, what do you call Space Ghost drinking a root beer?

Sandra Bernhard: Um...

Zorak: A soda jerk!

Audience: (laughter)

Space Ghost: Hey! I want a big laugh like Zorak! Moltar, get me a big laugh!

Moltar: (throws switch, a really feeble single voice laugh comes out)

Space Ghost: That's a big laugh? Eh, heh, uh, Sandra, tell me about your super-powers.

Sandra Bernhard: My super-power?

Space Ghost: Yes, yes, your super-powers!

Sandra Bernhard: I can psychically read every thought inside of your mind right now, if you have any... wait, I have to take a moment to see if you're actually thinking.

Space Ghost: (closes his eyes and thinks) (Need food, I'd love some tacos, mmmmm, chicken tacos! Refried beans!)

Sandra Bernhard: Love some tacos, chicken tacos, refried beans... And a chimichanga!

Space Ghost: Aaaaah! She's scanning me!

Sandra Bernhard: (laughs)

Space Ghost: Sandra, stop that! Get out of my mind! You're freaking me out!

Sandra Bernhard: I'm the kind of girl you don't bring home to mother. Understand?

Zorak: She's alright!

Moltar: She is alright!

Zorak: That girl's al-l-l-right! She's real people!

Space Ghost: Ehhhh, yeah.

Sandra Bernhard: That's one of my super-powers.

Space Ghost: Ahem! Let's take a call for Sandra. Hi, you're on the air!

Caller 10: (heavy breathing) Sandra, can you tell what I'm thinking?

Sandra Bernhard: Oh, I know what you're thinking, I can't talk about it on the Cartoon Network.

Space Ghost: Let's have some serious calls, please! Next caller! Hello?

Caller 11: (actually Brak) Do you have Prince Albert in a can?

Sandra Bernhard: (laughs)

Space Ghost: Don't encourage them, Sandra! Next caller! We're speaking with Sandra Bernhard!

Caller 12: Um, yeah, what's, uh, what's on after this? I, I lost my TV Guide.

Space Ghost: Next caller!

Caller 13: (female voice) Yeah, can I see your muscles?

Space Ghost: Why, of course! Admire my wonderful...

Caller 13: Not yours, hers, you jerk!

Space Ghost: Oh.

Sandra Bernhard: (rolls up sleeve) Okay, well, I'm not going to show you all of them, but I will show you this one. (flexes bicep) Not bad, huh?

Space Ghost: (sarcastically) Yeah, great, Sandra. Next!

Zorak: Jerk!

Caller 14: Mr. Tad Ghostal? This is Herb Mosh of the IRS...

Space Ghost: Moltar! Next call!

Caller 14: Hello? (feedback increases)

Space Ghost: Caller, turn down your set!

Caller 14: Hello-o-o?

Space Ghost: What's wrong with you people? Next caller, now!

Caller 15: The tingler, the tingler is loose in the theatre, scream, scream for your lives!

Zorak: (screams)

Moltar: (screams)

Audience: (all scream)

Space Ghost: (screams)

Sandra Bernhard: Wow!

Space Ghost: Everyone all right?

Zorak: Yeah, I think so.

Space Ghost: Sandra, years from now, when you talk about this, and you will, ple-e-ease, be kind!

Salesman: (appears on monitor) Oh, there we are... (zaps off again)

Brak: (appears on monitor) All hail Brak!

Space Ghost: All right! That's it! I've had it! Moltar! Stop the tape!

Brak: Waaaahhh! You hurt Brak's feelings!

Space Ghost: This isn't a talk show, it's a freak show! Get out! Get out, all of you! The show's over! Out with you!

Audience: (booing and grumbling)

Zorak: Good luck getting an award for this one, Space Ghost!

Space Ghost: I don't care! I don't need any awards! I don't need any of you! I'm Space Ghost, the rest of you are all cogs, extras, faces in the crowd, 9-to-5 nobodies! You're all cannon fodder, you hear? You're the guys in red shirts on "Star Trek". Get out! (sound of everyone leaving the studio) Well, I sure blew it. I'll never get any awards after this fiasco! Never never never! It's so unfair! I feel like such a jerk! (pause) Why, it sure is creepy in here, with no one around. (pause) Hey! If I'm all alone here... then who's behind the camera?

Chad Ghostal: Hello there... Tad! (evil laugh)

Space Ghost: (gasps)

(Credits roll)

Zorak: She's alright!

Moltar: She is alright!
