| BEGIN TRANSMISSION | |
| (Space Ghost and Zorak are dining, classical music plays in the background) | |
| Zorak: | Mmm! These watercress sandwiches are splendid! |
| Space Ghost: | Do you like them? I made them with extra water. |
| Zorak: | So that's the secret! |
| Space Ghost: | I've composed some light verse to accompany our reverie. Shall I recite it? |
| Zorak: | That would be divine. |
| Space Ghost: | A bug on a rug Drank from a mug. I felt a tug. (pause, squeaks mug) Give me a hug. |
| Zorak: | I adore the rhyme scheme. |
| Space Ghost: | Let us engage in a spirited philosophical debate. Is morality an absolute or a relative societal construct? |
| Zorak: | It's absolute. You're either good, or evil. |
| Space Ghost: | There are no absolutes, the cold hand of science has shown us that. (sips from his mug) My friend, it appears we disagree. |
| Zorak: | Then let us agree to disagree. (laughs) |
| Space Ghost: | Well stated. A toast, to civility and restraint. |
| Moltar: | More tea, m'lady? |
| Zorak: | Why, yes, how lovely. (sips from his mug) |
| Space Ghost: | Moltar, where are the cakes? The dainty cakes. |
| Moltar: | Dainty cakes? |
| Space Ghost: | Where are they? |
| Moltar: | I bought 'em! I had 'em in the car! I, I swear! Sh- she handed 'em right to me. I, I had the dainty cakes right in the car! Nooooo!!!! |
| (Screen morphs back to Moltar in control room) | |
| Moltar: | (wakes up, panting) Ooooh, what a nightmare! |
| (Opening theme & titles) | |
| Space Ghost: | (invisos in) Greetings! I'm Space Ghost. Here's the deal. I've got a behind, it's super-heroic, and I'm about to shake it. |
| Zorak: | I'd rather you didn't. |
| Moltar: | Why are we even doing this? |
| Space Ghost: | Evil villains, stand down from the funk. Tonight, I'm gonna tear it up, and break it down, with my favorite extended dance mixes. |
| Moltar: | That still doesn't answer the question. |
| Space Ghost: | Come on, Moltar, all the kids are dancin'! (high funky voice, with echo) It's electrifyin'! (end echo) Now put the needle on the record. |
| Moltar: | (grumbles to himself, throws lever; needle drops to record, dance music plays) |
| Space Ghost: | It's time for my (high voice) Soooooo-looo Dance Party. (neon-style titles superimposed on screen: SOLO DANCE PARTY) Y'all ready for this? (dances at his desk) Come on, come on! |
| Zorak: | (glares at Space Ghost) |
| Space Ghost: | Come on, Zorak, this is outta sight, man! |
| Zorak: | You dance like a woman. |
| Space Ghost: | (record scratch sound, music stops) I dance like a woman, if she were a man. |
| Zorak: | Well, you got me there. |
| Space Ghost: | I command all viewers to welcome my first guests, Mr.Ice-T and Mr. Ernie-C. Together, they're my first guests. |
| (Monitor lowers with Ice-T and Ernie-C) | |
| Ice-T: | Greetings! |
| Ernie-C: | Hello, how are you? |
| Ice-T: | What's up, Space? |
| Space Ghost: | Space is up, T, way up! And, way out! Observe my outer space jig! Moltar? |
| Moltar: | (grumbles again, throws lever, needle drops again, more dance music) |
| Space Ghost: | (doing funky hand moves) E-lec-tronic, au-to-matic. How d'ya like this action, Ice-T? |
| Ice-T: | It's all good, Space baby. |
| Space Ghost: | (dancing again) Yeah, they never let me do this in the action show. |
| (Screen morph flashback to original Space Ghost cartoon) | |
| Space Ghost: | I have vanquished you, lizard slavers. And now, behold the pelvic gyrations of my victory boogie. (dance music starts, Space Ghost boogies) |
| Lizard Slaver 1: | No, please, not the victory boogie! |
| Lizard Slaver 2: | The cosmic gyrations will destroy the ship! |
| (Rest of lizard slavers hold their hands to their heads and scream) | |
| Space Ghost: | Doin' the butt! Heyyy... pret-tay, pret-tay! |
| (Screen morphs back to Space Ghost at his desk) | |
| Space Ghost: | Oh, Iced Tea, you are a sweet and refreshing beverage. |
| Ice-T: | I am very sweet and refreshin'. (laughs) |
| Space Ghost: | I'm not talkin' about you, I'm speaking in general. |
| Ice-T: | That's right. |
| Ernie-C: | Very cool, very cool. |
| Ice-T: | What's up, Zorak? My man. |
| Zorak: | (eyes swirling, with eerie sound effects; tries to control Ice-T's mind) (Ice-T! You will hook up Zorak with some fly honeys!) |
| Ice-T: | (appears to be in a trance) |
| Space Ghost: | Ice-T. Ice-T. Wake up! |
| Ice-T: | That was cool, Zorak, that was cool, hit me 'gain, that was cool. |
| Zorak: | Just remember what I said. |
| Space Ghost: | Want me to blast the little pit spawn? |
| Ice-T: | That's how you do, Space Ghost, you just go around killin' and blastin' ... |
| Ernie-C: | (laughs) |
| Ice-T: | Space Ghost, just don't blast us! |
| Space Ghost: | Why not? It's electrifyin'. |
| Ice-T: | Do Ernie. |
| Space Ghost: | Oh, okay. (aims power bands) |
| Ernie-C: | Ho-, ho-, hold... |
| Space Ghost: | I'm only playing, I'm only playing. What are you, you're mad at me now. |
| Ernie-C: | No, no, I don't even like the word "destructo". (laughs) |
| Space Ghost: | Free-style for me, Ice Ice baby. |
| Ice-T: | You see my name's SG, and the place to be, representin' with Ice-T and Ernie-C. |
| Space Ghost: | (raps badly) Why I'm SG, and it's plain to see, that I'm SG, and my name is SG. |
| Ice-T: | (laughs) That was cool. |
| Ernie-C: | That was interestin'. |
| Zorak: | (eyes swirling again, with sound effects, etc.) (Just a little mental note...) |
| Ice-T: | Hmm? |
| Zorak: | (Reminding you about those fly honeys.) |
| Ice-T: | Zorak was messin' with my brain again, what're you do... |
| Space Ghost: | Hey, Ice-T, check it, buddy. (dances again, panting, humming to himself. Ice-T, Ernie-C and Zorak stare at him) |
| Ice-T: | Come on, Ghost, come on, man, you gotta, you gotta do better'n that. |
| Space Ghost: | Don't take that tone of voice with me, young man! |
| Ice-T: | Yes, sir. |
| Ernie-C: | Yes. |
| Space Ghost: | Hey, Moltar! Kick it! |
| Moltar: | (throws lever, rock music plays) |
| Ernie-C: | I hear somethin'. |
| Zorak: | Oooh, this rocks! |
| Space Ghost: | Hold on, I can't dance to this. |
| Zorak: | Play it backwards! |
| Space Ghost: | No, don't! Something scary could happen! |
| Moltar: | (throws lever, music starts playing backwards; a ghost flies out of his monitor) Eaaaaah! A ghost! (runs away) |
| Space Ghost: | Moltar, what's goin' on? |
| (Ghost flies out of control room) | |
| Space Ghost: | (talking to Moltar, who is standing next to his desk) What's wrong? |
| Moltar: | I wanna be out here with you. |
| Zorak: | He's frightened of ghosts! |
| Moltar: | (whimpering) Moltar fears nothing! Nothing! |
| Zorak: | He fears what he cannot understand. |
| Space Ghost: | That ghost isn't gonna hurt you. |
| Ice-T: | Bring him in here so I can smack 'em. |
| Moltar: | But... but... |
| Ernie-C: | One time. |
| Space Ghost: | See, Mr. T and his friend Ernie aren't afraid of the ghost. |
| Zorak: | Yeah, Moltar, it just wants to possess your soul! |
| Moltar: | (as ghost flies by) No!! |
| Ice-T: | (to ghost) Peace, ghost. (waves) |
| Space Ghost: | Get outta here! |
| Moltar: | No! Wha!! |
| Zorak: | (evil laugh) |
| Space Ghost: | You don't have to be crazy to work here... (punchline intro music) But it helps! (punchline outro music) Stop it! |
| INTERRUPT TRANSMISSION | |
| RESUME TRANSMISSION | |
| Space Ghost: | (to Moltar, in control room) But I keep telling you, I'm a ghost, you're not afraid of me, are you? |
| Moltar: | Arggh, no! I hate you, hate and fear are two different things. |
| Space Ghost: | (floating, makes "scary" sound) Aaaaaaaaaaaaa! Are you frightened? |
| Moltar: | Uh, no. I think I just told you, I hate you? |
| Zorak: | (on control room monitor) Hey, what, are you guys slow dancin' in there? I wanna go home. (monitor shows text:) |
| CAM 02 ICE-MAN. PLEASE. RAPPIN DAZ- DANCIN MACHINE | |
| Space Ghost: | (invisos back to desk, lounge music is playing) Yes, as a matter of fact, we were. And speaking of were, please welcome funny man Fred Willard. |
| Fred Willard: | (appears on monitor) My name is Fred Willard, and in earth terms, I am an actor, and, uh, I've been in some movies and television series... |
| Space Ghost: | Let's talk about your days at "Real People." Now, there's a show! |
| Fred Willard: | Oh, yeah, now, now that was fun. |
| Space Ghost: | How did you determine if a person was real or an android? |
| Moltar: | Yeah, did you rip their face off and check their circuitry? |
| Fred Willard: | Uh, this is getting a little technical for me... |
| Space Ghost: | Then let's change the subject to me. You know, I'm a superhero... |
| Fred Willard: | That's right, and I, I, you are a hero, and I always wanted to play a, a hero. And I think, I think I played a hero once, I think I played Batman in a stage revue in Chicago... |
| Space Ghost: | I won't have that man's name mentioned on my show! He still owes me for that dinner I bought him at R. J. McGoodtimes. (quietly) I oughta tell everybody he's Bruce Wayne. |
| Fred Willard: | Oh dear, okay. |
| Moltar: | Tansut, you hear that? Batman's Bruce Wayne! |
| Tansut: | Wow! You think you know a guy. |
| Zorak: | (eyes swirling yet again, with sound effects, etc.) (Fred Willard, you will hook Zorak up with some fly...) Ih... Never mind. |
| Space Ghost: | Fred, I got a notion to put my butt in motion. Moltar!! (monitor shows text:) |
| SEARCHING WHAT'S MINE | |
| Moltar: | (pulls lever, disco music plays) |
| Space Ghost: | (dances again) Come on, Fred, sing along! |
| Fred Willard: | I'm game, I'm up for it. (music stops) |
| Moltar: | (rustling noise) Whaa!! |
| Space Ghost: | Moltar! What's happening now? |
| Moltar: | The ghost is back! (Ghost flies to Zorak's keyboard pod) |
| Zorak: | Stop scrunchin' me! This is my work area! (Ghost flies through Zorak & flies off) Hey! You got my soul! Gimme back my soul! (bounces off after ghost) |
| Space Ghost: | Say, I'll bet Zorak doesn't have a "ghost" of a chance (punch line music). Get it, Fred? |
| Fred Willard: | Sure, sure. Now, we're not gonna be, beamed back to earth without mentioning my movie, are we? |
| Space Ghost: | It's all about you, isn't it, Fred? |
| Fred Willard: | Uh... (smiles) |
| Space Ghost: | Well... |
| Fred Willard: | Well, it takes place in this small, uh, midwestern town, and we're a small time amateur theatrical group that puts on... (Zorak walks in front of the camera; Fred continues to talk in the background, but is drowned out by Space Ghost and Zorak) |
| Space Ghost: | Back already, Zorak? Did you get your soul back? |
| Zorak: | (mocking) No, I didn't. Did you get your brain back? |
| Space Ghost: | That's your worst line ever. |
| Zorak: | Thanks. |
| Fred Willard: | ... and we find out this gentleman called Guffman may come to see us from uh, Broadway producers, I think it comes out in January, and I think you'll enjoy it. |
| Space Ghost: | (pause) Ah ha!! Now that's an anecdote! |
| Fred Willard: | Uh, which one? |
| Zorak: | (spooky sounds) He's baaaack! |
| Space Ghost: | Away with you, spirit! Hang on a minute, Fred. |
| Fred Willard: | That's fine, that's fine. I'm in no hurry. |
| Space Ghost: | There's only room for one ghost in this studio, and it's not the ghost that's not me! |
| Fred Willard: | Alright. |
| Space Ghost: | (blasts ghost with destructo ray; a note flutters to the ground at Space Ghost's feet) Holy Schnikes! That ghost was carrying a note! (picks up note) It says: (sniff) I just wanted to shake it. One time. (sniff) Sincerely, A Ghost. |
| Fred Willard: | Oh! |
| Moltar: | (mock sincerity) If I'd known that, maybe I wouldn't have been so scared. |
| Zorak: | (distraught) I never got my fly honeys! (gets big anime eyes & cries; his tear sizzles when it hits the ground) |
| Space Ghost: | Fred Willard, this is all your fault! I order you to give the ghost a touching eulogy. |
| Fred Willard: | Ah! And, um, yes, he's done a lot of wonderful... stuff, am I saying the right thing? |
| Space Ghost: | Eh, who cares? Let's dance! Moltar! Hit me with another one of those block rockin' beats! |
| Moltar: | (pulls lever, disco music plays, monitor shows text:) |
| SHOE BEGIN FEET END | |
| Space Ghost: | (dances again; Fred looks disgusted, then credits roll) Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! (over and over and over) |
| (Credits roll) | |
| Moltar: | The only thing that scares me more than ghosts is coming to terms with my grief. |
| Tansut: | Oh, suck it up, fatty! |
| Space Ghost: | (groan) |
