Waiting (for a really really long time)

Zorak (Z): Yah! Yah!
Space Ghost (SG): Hang on, Zorak, hang -
Waiting (again briefly)
(In control room, Moltar throws the lever, a black and white photo of a bald man wearing a tie appears on monitor, followed by a test pattern with a "7", followed by Denis Leary)
Denis Leary (DL): Moltar, how are ya?
Moltar (M): This is how I am, Denis. (pulls lever) I'm destroying the planet. (klaxon siren in background)
DL: Get outta here.
M: Yeah. And I'm havin' a sale, too.
Voice (V): Seven minutes, twenty seven seconds until total devastation.
M: Whattya think about that?
DL: Now you, you overstep your, your boundaries when it comes to power.
M: How about a free kick in the throat?
DL: See what I'm saying?
M: (throws lever, sends Denis to the studio monitor) Bah! (laughs)
SG: (invisos in to control room) Moltar, are you trying to destroy the - Oooh! Are you having another Total Devastation sale? (looks at sign:)
Total
Devastation
SALE!!

Take an additional 30%
off all men's outerwear!

M: Yup! Everything must go.
SG: I don't have any money! (punches Moltar in the face)
(Moltar and Space Ghost proceed to punch each other rock'em sock'em style)
(In the studio; Denis is already on the monitor)
Z: Wow! Denis Leary! I've seen all your movies!
DL: Thank you, thank you.
Z: I didn't think they were very good. (Beat) What'd you think?
(In the control room; Space Ghost is lying on the floor, Moltar is standing on his back)
SG: Ooh! Get off my back!
M: (laughs, hops onto his head) Ooh, sorry! (laughs)
SG: My head! This is going in your file! (invisos out, Moltar drops to the floor)
(In the studio)
SG: (invisos in) Hello! I'm Space Ghost!
Z: And I'm Zorak.
SG: Nobody cares who you are, Zorak.
Z: (BEAT) Man, you're wrong about that.
SG: (Beat) Okay, okay, everybody pipe down. Guest is here, it's interview time. (invisos to desk while Zorak plays cheesy funky organ music; Space Ghost plays with his inviso control, fading in and out for about fifteen seconds, until music stops)
SG: I like that that happened. (Beat) I'm gonna do that again. (Music starts again, Space Ghost resumes invisoing in and out) (moans) Denis...
DL: Hi, how are ya?
SG: (still invisoing in and out) Good, good, and you?
DL: Oh, okay, good.
SG: Mmmm. (finally finishes invisoing in) (sighs) Ah, there we are. Denis, are you a leprechaun?
DL: No, there's no such thing as leprechauns. (sips water)
SG: Oh, yeah, yeah, I was gonna say.
DL: Mm hm.
SG: (looks at his card) Okay then... well, that's all I got. We done here?
Z: (NODS)
DL: Uh, I have one question for you, have you ever thought of taking a vacation and - (Space Ghost is walking towards Zorak's pod) You're not listenin'.
SG: (to Zorak) Say, what's this thing?
Z: Don't touch it, it's mine!
SG: When did you get this?
Z: I've had it.
SG: (presses a keyboard key, a riff plays) You didn't tell me this was a synthesizer! (plays a few other keys) It has samples! Hey, get out of there, scoot over!
Z: Hey, quit, quit shovin'!
SG: Mine! My turn!
Z: Jerk!
SG: (sitting in pod; he sings his lines while he plays a melody on the keyboard) 'Hey Denis, what brings you to these parts?'
DL: Uhhhh... you asked me to appear on the show, so I -
SG: I did? Oh yeah! (sings and plays) 'I did, didn't I?'
DL: I'm actually doing this as a sort of a, uh, a payback for my kids, 'cause they're big fans of your show. I don't really watch the show, and I'm not really a big fan, I don't think you're that funny, quite frankly.
SG: (sings and plays) 'Not that funny, eh?'
DL: Well, my kids watch the show, so I'm on the show 'cause it'll please my kids.
SG: (sings and plays) 'So the feelings of your stupid kids are more important than mine.'
DL: Yeah.
SG: (stops playing, walks over to studio monitor) Who do you think you are?
DL: I think the universe knows who I am, Space Ghost.
SG: Then who do you think the universe knows I am, Denis?
DL: Space Ghost, and I'm Denis Leary, of course. Master of the universe.
SG: (sitting at desk) (laughs) Master?! I know one or two guys who might disagree with you. (whispers) Master!
DL: Like who?
SG: Yoda.
DL: Okay, who else, on the list?
SG: (Beat) Star wars.
DL: Okay, so let's say that I'm, uh... master of the -
SG: You're sure you're not a leprechaun?
DL: (Beat) I'm too tall to be a leprechaun.
SG: Okay, okay. 'Cause I was gonna say, you're the worst leprechaun that we've ever had on the show.
DL: Look, look, here's the bottom line...
SG: Ho- hold on. (flies off)
DL: (to Zorak) You have Madonna's new album?
Z: (hisses)
DL: Somebody's buyin' it.
(In the control room, Lokar is on Moltar's monitor)
Lokar (L): Have you any dangerously sequinned hot pants?
M: Um... no.
L: Perchance a scented thong?
M: I have some underwear that's scented, but... I don't think it's what you're lookin' for.
L: Oh... gorgeous!
(In the studio, Space Ghost bounds back to his chair, sporting a crude drawn-on mustache)
SG: (whispers) Hey, Denis! (normal Voice) Notice anything... different?
DL: Nope.
SG: About my face?
DL: We don't really care.
SG: Hey, Zorak.
Z: (sporting a toucan beak)
SG: (Beat) (sighs) Anybody else have any questions for Denis? (Beat) Anyone? Anyone? (mustache is gone) Anyone?
M: (marches out, slams cards down on Space Ghost's desk) Try this one.
SG: (reading card) "Nice jacket Fonzie." (to Moltar) And you want me to say this?
M: (nods)
SG: Out loud. To Denis.
M: Go on.
SG: I don't think so.
M: (groans in disgust) Sit on it! (walks off stage)
DL: Hey, lay off.
SG: That's my arch-enemy, Denis.
DL: Mm hm.
SG: Who are your arch-enemies? And don't say me.
DL: You.
SG: (does spit take on camera lens; audience laughs) Me?! (spits again, audience laughs again) Me?!?! (laughs) One more... (spits again, this time it's blood; audience gasps) Uh oh. (gulps)
DL: Aside from you, uh... Dr. Katz, another animated figure.
SG: Why don't you just launch him into the deep recesses of space?
DL: If I could.
SG: Oh, that's right, you're a smoker.
DL: Who's the last person you, you've launched into the deep recesses of... of space?
SG: My friend Edward.
DL: Why couldn't you do that with, say, Celine Dion?
SG: Oh no, I don't think Edward would approve of that.
DL: Not extremely powerful, I must say. (sips water)
SG: (Beat) I beat up Charlton Heston once.
DL: When?
SG: Over the holidays.
DL: In your one-dimensional world, you beat up Charlton Heston.
SG: Yeah, I hit him over the head with some books.
DL: So, you're actually bragging about beating up a man who must be in his late eighties, is that correct?
SG: Uh, late eighties, early nineties.
(In the control room, Brak is on Moltar's monitor)
Brak (B): You have any farmer stuff?
M: No.
B: You have any astronaut stuff?
M: Uh...
B: You have any melba toast? 'Cause that's what I want.
M: (trying to break in) I got - (sighs)
B: I'd also like an army of rabbits, some tar, a glass hat, a book about lightning, a magical fortress made of rainbows...
M: (trying to interrupt) Brak... Brak... Brak!!!
B: Yes?
M: How're you gonna pay for all this?
B: With rocks.
M: (shouts) I hope you die before your wedding!
B: What? I'm not gettin' mar- (Moltar throws lever, sending him away)
(In the studio)
SG: I guess my greatest fear would be to find myself hopelessly attracted to one of my coworkers.
(Camera zooms back to show Zorak sitting on Space Ghost's lap)
SG: What are you doing?
Z: That'll be ten dollars.
SG: Get off!
Z: (bounds away) You can owe me.
SG: Denis, what's your greatest fear?
DL: Probably, having to have my own... show on prime cable.
SG: Hey, do you wanna move in with me?
DL: No thank you.
SG: Well, then how would you like to help out around the set?
DL: Naw, that's okay.
SG: You sure?
DL: Yep!
SG: Maybe you could overcome your fears.
DL: I really have a packed schedule.
SG: We've got some exclusive interviews coming up.
DL: Yeah, I've got - with who?
SG: (Beat) My friend Edward.
DL: Yeah? And who else?
SG: Um...
Z: Denis Leary.
SG: That's right, Denis Leary, thank you Zorak.
DL: Mm hm.
Z: You can owe me.
SG: Lots of big names.
DL: Yup.
SG: Big stuff going on here. (taps cards)
Z: Hey! Weren't we supposed to blow -
(BLAM!!!!!)
(Music starts, then slows down and stops)
Later... at camp
(Four kids are sitting on the ground in a field, Space Ghost stands in their midst)
SG: And so, kids, that's the story of how I saved Christmas. (angrily) Now get back to work, ya fat humps!!
