Page 2 of 3
Mr. Hammen

And how about the time we hopped in the family car and drove all the way to Woodstock?

Mrs Hammen

Oh, that was a time. You got hold of that bad acid and didn't come down for two weeks. You keep telling everyone that you were Jesus Christ and then you jumped off a roof 'cause you thought you could fly!

Mr. Hammen

What a bummer.

Mrs. Hammen

No shit.

Mr. Hammen

I've always loved you darling, but I have to tell you, I was unfaithful to you, just once.

Mrs. Hammen

Oh I understand, darling.

Mr. Hammen

Remember Joan? My first secretary?

Mrs. Hammen

Thats alright, I knew about it all the time. I was unfaithful too.

Mr. Hammen

I understand darling.

Mrs. Hammen

Remember Susan? Your last receptionist?

Opening Crawl
[scrolling up a la Star Wars style]

By the close of the twentieth century, construction of colonies on the lunar surface had begun and with this colonization came a new era in space travel. As our story opens, Mayflower 1, the first passenger shuttle to the moon, prepares for its maiden voyage--a voyage filled with hope, yet destined for disaster. Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far away, Princess Amoura lay back in her bed as the handsome young knight entered the room. The princess slipped off her robe, revealing her silky white thighs. The knight embraced her roughly, and began to caress her soft, round…

Prosecuting Attorney

Doctor can you give the court your impression of Mr Striker.

Dr. Stone

I'm sorry I don't do impressions, my training is in psychiatry.

Prosecuting Attorney

Of course.

ROC

Voice interface.

There's an overheat in the core. Please analyze problem.

ROC

There is no apparent overheat.

Yes, there is, ROC. We read a coreheat. Repeat analysis.

ROC

Analysis confirmed. All systems compute positive.

Well, not from where I'm sitting, they don't!

ROC

Look, Elaine. Cut the "not from where I'm sitting" shit. It must be a human error.

[Elaine turns to the captain]

Captain, I think we have a computer foul-up!

Clarence Oveur

I see.

Well, what do you recommend, Captain?

Clarence Oveur

Maybe you'd better run it through the computer.

But sir, I already have!

Clarence Oveur
[looking very pleased]

Good!

Simon

Gentleman, I'd like you to meet our new captain.

Clarence Oveur

Gentlemen, welcome aboard.

Simon

Captain, your navigator, Mr. Unger, and your first officer Mr. Dunn.

Clarence Oveur

Unger.

Unger

Oveur.

Dunn

Oveur.

Clarence Oveur

Dunn. Gentlemen, let's get to work.

Simon

Unger, didn't you serve Oveur in the Air Force?

Unger

Not directly. Technically, Dunn was under Oveur and I was under Dunn.

Dunn

Yep.

Simon

So, Dunn you were under Oveur and over Unger.

Unger

Yep.

Clarence Oveur

That's right. Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.

Unger

So you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn.

Clarence Oveur

Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.

Listen good. That thing is bound to come apart on you at that speed, and that's no good! It's got to be in one piece when you land on the moon! You know damn well that that warp drive has never been tested! [stabs his cigarette into the left hand of the controller sitting next to him] You're putting yourself and everybody else on that ship in jeopardy!

Art Fleming
[Cuts to Art Fleming hosting a Jeopardy! game on the shuttle with the passengers as the contestants]

All right, Contestant #38.

Contestant #38

Art, I'll take Air Shuttle Disasters for $40.

Art Fleming

The answer is... [The $40 display rotates to reveal the answer] ...the Mayflower!

We're all betting on you. [In another room, people draw their bets as to whether the Shuttle passengers will die or not]

[drunkenly]

Gentlemen, I don't find it easy to talk at a time like this, but I got to say something about that guy up there, and I can sum it all up in just one word: courage...dedication, daring, pride, pluck, spirit, grit, mettle, and G-U-T-S, *guts*. Why, Ted Striker's got more guts in his little finger than most of us have in our large intestine, including the colon. [He gestures extravagantly and falls over]

Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up till now.

Jacobs

Well, let's see. First the Earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. [McCroskey walks off] And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it- [Jacobs turns and starts to walk away, continuing to speak, trailing off as he gets further from the camera] he took her best summer dress and he put it on and went to town...

Jacobs, what have you got on Elaine Dickinson?

Jacobs

Well, I'm two inches taller, a better dancer, and much more fun to be with.

We keep losing their radio!

Bug Kruger

Give it to me straight, McCroskey! What's it look like?

[puzzled]

The radio? About so big, green, with numbers and lots of knobs...what?

Bug Kruger

I mean the situation! What do your people think?

Controller #2
[The controllers begin thinking about the people in the hijacked airplane]

They're screwed!

Controller #3

They're dead!

Controller Jacobs

Did I leave the iron on?
