Crow: "Hey, Tommy, remember when we de-briefed Mike?"
Tom: "Hoo-hoo! That was great!"
Mike: "Yeah. I'm glad you guys remember that so fondly."
> General: What happened after you went through the wormhole?
> Tom: I found myself in the far future. I was picked up by a human
starship.
Crow: "'Human starship'? You mean Meatloaf?"
> They returned Captain
> Rogers and me to our proper time and then went back to there own, I presume.
> General: How far into the future?
> Tom: Dec. 7, 2374. The humans on the starship said they would be arriving
> back to their time three days
> after they left.
Tom: "And the non-Prime-Directive-related contamination begins."
Mike: "It's not -! ...Oh."
> General: Thank you, Captain, you can go now.
> Tom: Thank You, sir.
> The End
Tom: "Whoof! Sheesh, finally!"
Crow: "Yeah, that one was rather painful."
(Mike and Crow rise; Mike picks up Servo)
Mike: "Well, now we can relax, have some warm milk and ramchips and forget
all about."
(they begin to exit right)

Crow: "Yikes! What the hell is that!"
Tom: "I don't know, but let's keep moving!"
Mike: "We are, we're outta here, I'm not even looking at it."
(they exit right)
(1...2...3...4...5...6...dogbone)
Mike: "Wow. Whoof, that was a hard one."
Crow: "Yeah, I'll say. But I've learned something this time."
Mike: "Great!; what?"
Crow: "I hate my life."
Mike: "Ah. Good. And you, Servo?"
Tom: "Yep, I hate Crow's life too."
Mike: "No! I mean, did you learn anything?"
Tom: "What, from the story? Well..."
(Mike & Crow lean in)
M&C: "Yes?"
Tom: "Mmmm, no."
(A lilght on the console begins flashing)
Crow: "Oh, great. Can't they ever go to bed early?"
Mike: "Well, no good puttin' it off."
(Mike hits the indicator)
(Castle Forrester; interior. High-angle shot: In the background, Observer lies
sprawled on the floor; the bathtub is overturned, and water and suds have run
all over the floor. As the camera descends to level, we see Pearl sitting in
the foreground. She is soaked and covered in suds.)
(SoL)
Mike: "Yikes! Pearl! What happened down there? What's with Observer?"
(Castle)
Pearl (sighing heavily): "...Got too close to a naked Bobo."
(Bobo bounds in from left; he is mumbling in sing-song, then notices the
camera. He is wearing brightly-colored pajamas and a festive bathrobe.)
Bobo: "Ah! Boys! I certainly hope you enjoyed your story! As you can see,
I'm all bathed, and I just put fresh linens on my bed! And a fresh me plus a
fresh bed means I'm going to sleep like a furry little baby!"
(SoL; M&tBs are smiling through their grimaces)
Mike: "Well, that's ... certainly a good thing ... I guess ...."
(Castle)
Bobo: "Indeed! You know, I've always said-"
Pearl: "Bobo."
Bobo: "Uh, yes, Pearl?"
(Pearl glances back at the inert form of Observer; she sighs again)
Pearl: "You do realize that I'll have to destroy you, of course."
Bobo: "Oh, heck, after two years of you as Lawgiver, I've simply learned to
expect that sort of thing from time to time."
Pearl: "You should be proud, in a way. It's not everyone who can shock an
omnipotent being into catatonia."
Bobo: "Mmmm... Well, I better get up to bed..." (He turns to leave, then
turns back to Pearl) "Uh, you *will* wait until I'm completely asleep before
smothering me, won't you?"
(Pearl puts a hand to her chin and ponders)
Pearl: "Hmmm... Well, there *would* be less struggling that way..." (She
pats Bobo on the thigh) "You got'cher self a deal! Now, off to bed with you!"
Bobo: "Ah! Great! Good-night, Mike! Good-night, boys!" (Bobo bounds off
up the stairs)
(Pearl turns towards camera, leering)
Pearl: "As for you, Nelsonicus: I bid you nightmares and fitful sleep."
