[MiSTed] Dark Knuckles

[hac...@polarcom.com]

[Opening credits and theme song]

[Bridge of the SoL. Mike and Tom are moving things around, and Gypsy is
sweeping by holding the broom in her mouth. Crow is nowhere to be seen.]

Mike: Oh, hi everybody! Since it's spring, we decided...
Tom: "We"? Yeah right.
Mike: *AS* I was saying, we decided to clean up the satellite a bit, and
so far it's been going pretty well.

[Crow walks onscreen, caked in dirt and grime.]

Crow: *cough* All done, Mike.
Mike: My God, what happened to you?
Crow: Like you told me. *cough* I cleaned my room.

[Crow shakes himself, throwing dirt everywhere. Gypsy turns and hits him
with the broom.]

Crow: OW!
Gypsy [dropping the broom]: Why you little... It'll take hours to clean
this up!
Crow: Well, don't let me stop you...

[Gypsy eats him. Tom begins laughing like a goon.]

Mike: Gypsy! Put him down!
Gypsy: Alright, but he's cleaning this up. [Spits out Crow.]
Crow: How am I supposed to sweep, I can't hold that broom?
Gypsy: Oh, yeah?

[Gypsy drags Crow offscreen. Banging, shattering, and screams of agony.]

Mike [looking offscreen]: Oooo that's gotta hurt. Umm... this could
take awhile, everybody.

[Commercial sign. Open on grainy image. Two odd looking women are beating
each other to a bloody pulp, while Torgo, dressed in the Master's robes,
looks on. The fight ends and the winner stands and walks over to Torgo.
Torgo grins and holds up a tube of breath mints. Manos: The Freshmaker!]

[SoL. Mike and Tom are vacuuming, and Crow is walking around with the
broom shoved through his lacrosse mask, sweeping by shaking his head.
Soon the remaining dirt is gone.]

Mike [slumping into his seat]: Man... that was tough.
Crow: I still think you should have done something, Mike.
Mike: I don't know, Crow, you did kind of deserve it.
Crow: But Miiiike...

[Mads' sign.]

Tom: Can it, guys, Norman Bates and Mother are calling. [hits the button
with his head]

[Deep 13]

Dr. F: Norman Bates, huh? You really think I'm that mad?

[SoL]

Tom [drily]: Oh, absolutely.

[Deep 13]

Dr. F [misty eyed]: I'm... I'm touched...
Pearl: Cut the chitchat. Today we have a particularly putrid piece of...
um... Clay, give me a word starting with P.
Dr. F: Um... I don't know.
Pearl: Uh... Anyway, it's a Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic by Lane Kramer, who
should have his computer taken away. It's that bad. Send them the
crap, Clay.
Dr. F: Yes, mother. [pushes the button]

[Divers alarums and excursions]
Crow [wearily]: Oh, look guys, movie sign.
Mike [stretching]: *Yawn* Here we go again.
[All wander offscreen]

[Dog Bone, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, o]

[Mike enters the theatre, carrying Tom. Crow follows, and they take their
usual seats.]

> Dark Knuckles
>
>
> Sally and Sonic looked out to the stars that shown brightly on the
>freedom fighter enclave of Knothole. It had been an enduring day

Tom: An enduring day?
Mike: The hackles on the back of my neck just stood up.

>for the freedom fighters.
>First the sudden red energy field that had appeared

Tom: Wha?
Mike: I have a feeling there's some backstory Lane's not telling us.

>and then the sudden appearance of a human in their village.

Crow: Uh oh. Self-insertion time.

>The human was currently in their stockade.

Crow: Maybe not.
Tom: Actually it still could be. Remember how Aksland's alter-ego was
initially treated in "Altered Destiny?"
Crow: I'd almost forgotten until you reminded me. Thanks a lot, gumball
head.
Tom: Gumball head?! Why you...
[Crow & Tom scuffle]
Mike: Do you two want a timeout?
Tom/Crow: Sorry.

>Sonic's first thought was that

Crow: ...they should roast the human on a spit and have a luau.
Mike: Feeling a bit dark today, Crow?

>he was some how a spy for

Tom: K.A.O.S.

>Robotnick, but Sally stated that it seemed unlikely since the human had
>seemed just as confused about what was going on as they had been.

Tom: Yeah, I know the feeling.

>Sonic then said," Sal' what a weird day it has been." Sally turned her
>head

Crow: ...all the way around, her eyes glowing an unearthly green.

>and then responded," It sure has."

Crow: Why are they speaking in such a stilted manner?
Tom: I do not know.

>Sonic asked," Any idea on what the at weird red light was. I mean its
>the weirdest thing I have ever seen. What could have caused that rift
>or whatever it was?

Tom: It was a Shifter. He was trying to go to Wormwood, but opened a
portal to Mobius instead.

>Sally responded," I just do not know. Nicole is currently trying to
>figure out what was the rift specifically and what could have caused
>it."
>Sonic stated," I've got a simple answer and its called Robutnick. Plain
>and simple."

Tom: Quite simply, that simple solution is so simple it is simply
ridiculous. Why, this is no simple problem, how could the solution
be so simple?

>Sally looking very tired responded," Its possible that Robotnick is
>responsible and if he is we are in real trouble. Its just this dosen't
>seem like Robotnick could do such a thing. I just don't think he is
>responsible."
>"Please give a logical reason why Robotnick is not behind this rift."

Mike: Because one villain can't possibly be behind every little thing
that goes on everywhere, all the time?

>"Alright smarty hog heres one; if Robotnick were responsible he eould
>sent a swatbot army out to destroy Knothole with whatever allows him to
>do so."

Tom: My God, the voice of reason speaks!

>"Good point"
>"The only one who may know something is the human who appeared after the
>rift exploded."

Tom: He's the only one who knows anything, eh? Yep, this is a self-
insertion fic, all right.

>Sonic then said," Then I better get over to the stockade and start to
>question our friend."
>" Wait! Antoine is already doing so."

Mike [Antoine]: Alright, you Eengleesh peeg-dog, what ees ze airspeed
velocity of ze unladen swallow?

>Sonic responded with a wry look on his face," I know, but somebody has
>to save Antoine before he reveals all our secrets to the human." Sonic
>then leaned over kissed Sally on the cheek and then zoomed of to the
>stockade.

Tom/Crow [racing car sounds]

>
>***

Mike: Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are...

>
>"Snively what is your report on that power fluctuation that was
>detected earlier?" Dr. Robotnick yelled.

Tom [condescendingly]: No, Lane, a ? means a question. Yelling is !.
Mike: How did you do that?
Tom: It's a bot thing.

>"I have been unable to determine the exact location of the

Crow: ...outhouse.

>power surge?"

All: SUUURRRRGGGE!

>Snively spoke weakly. "Well what about a source for the energy?"

Tom [Snively]: Energizers.
Mike: They keep going and going and going and going and going...

>"Scanners have detected that the energy seems to have originated from
>somewhere near the Floating Island."
>"Very interesting. Continue to monitor for any other disturbances.
>With that power source I can finally destroy the hedgehog." Robotnick
>chuckled.

Tom: And if that doesn't work, I'll kill him with a forklift!

>
>***

Tom: I hate that game, I can never get the hang of it.
Mike: What game?
Tom: Centipede.
Mike/Crow [groan]

>
>"Alright, how did you get here and what was your mission?" Sonic
>demanded.

Tom [Shredder]: My name is Michaelangelo. My mission is to serve the cool
forces of good, to obey my totally hip master, Splinter, and,
whenever possible, to consume mondo portions of pizza!
Mike: Tom Servo, if you ever make another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
reference I will turn you into a Tamagotchi.

>"Hey! I don't know what you are talking about. All I know is that I was
>walking home and the next thing I know I am standing in a

Crow [Ace Ventura]: ...biiiig pile of guano.

>village with a bunch of talking animals." the human replied.
>"You mean you don't know where you are."

Mike: And Sherlock Sonic does it again!

>"Correct!"

Tom: Affirmative.
Mike: Right.
Tom: Uh-huh.
Mike: You bet.
Tom: You got it.
Mike: You are correct, sir!
Crow: I do not know you two.

>"Well you are on the planet Mobius. Specifically you are at Knothole
>village."
>"That's nice. Well now can you please send me home."

Tom [Sonic]: Sorry, kid, the next bus doesn't come until 5:15.
Mike [Sonic]: Just click your heels together three times, and say,
"there's no place like home."
Crow: There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no
place like home.
Mike: Crow, what are you doing?
Crow: Trying to wake up from this nightmare.

>"We didn't bring you here. I was hoping you would beable

Tom: Beable beable beable.
Crow: Doidy doidy doidy.
Mike: Remember, You're Allowed.

>to tell me how you got here."
>"No luck on that one. Well I guess I'm stuck here for now. My name is

Tom [Shredder]: Michaelangelo. My mission is to...
Mike: STOP IT, SERVO.
Tom: heh heh heh

>Jake."
>"The name is Sonic.

Tom [singing]: They call me Sonic, cause I'm faster than sound, I keep on
jumping around...
Crow: Fanboy.
Tom: Bite me.

>As soon as Sally comes I think we can let you out of here. Where are
>you from anyway?"

Crow [evilly]: The darkest regions of HELL!

>"I come from earth. Know where that is?"

Tom [Sonic]: Somewhere over the rainbow.

>"Not exactly where, but I have heard of the planet before. We
>encountered a human from Earth before. Here comes Sally."

Crow [Butthead]: Huh huh huh, he said "unrelated sentences"

>"I see you must be finished with the interrogation. It seems your
>buddies already."

Tom: Your buddies already what?

>Sally stmated Mockingly.

Crow: Huh? stmated?
Tom: Okay, this one's got me.

>"I've found him to be an O.K. guy. He's from Earth and friendly as far
>as I can tell. Allow me to introduce Princess Sally Acorn of the House
>of Acron, rightful ruler of Mobius."

Mike [Sally]: Princess Sally? Funny, that's my name too!
Tom: Princess Sally's from Ohio? I thought she was from Knothole.

>"The pleasure is all mine your highness. The name is Jake and what do
>you mean rightful ruler." Jake asked puzzled.

Mike: That's asked?

>"A dictator named Dr. Robotnick overthrew my father and conquered
>Mobius." Sally stated.

Crow: In fact, he threw him over... ah, to hell with it.

>"Well from what I see how come there are not more of you from the
>population standing up tp this Robotnick." Jake questioned.

Tom: "standing up tp this Robotnick." Uh...
Mike: That's the freedom fighters' secret plan. Sonic and Bunny, because
they're the fastest of all the freedom fighters, are going to go to
Robotropolis and TP the entire city.
Tom: Mike, that wasn't funny.
Mike: Bite me.

>"He roboticizer is the reason. He used this device to turn most Mobians
>into

Tom [Latin accent]: ...loyal supporters of the revolution. VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

>robots that obey his commands. We have developed a deroboticzer, but it
>is still experimental."

Crow [Sonic]: And we can't test it, because our supply of plot
contrivance fuel is low.

>Sonic said with a gloom look.
>"I'm sorry. I would like to help you if I could since apparently
>neither of us know how I got here and how I will get back."

Tom: But since I can't help I'm just gonna ramble on and on until you
finally decide I'm not worth listening to and leave me alone.

>"I'm still concerned about that red abberation that brought you here. We
>must determined what caused it." Sally spoke in a serious tone.

Mike: It's a plot hole. They're caused by poor writing.

>Just then Bunny Rabbot came in. "Sally girl sorry to interrupt, but
>Knuckles has just arrived and has something urgent he must discuss."
>Bunny spoke.
>"Alright lets go. Jake would mind coming along." Sonic asked.

Tom: How do you know he would mind? You didn't even ask.

>"I'll follow. I'm right behind you." With that said the three freedom
>fighters exited and Jake followed with a terrible

Crow: ...gas pain.

>grin on his face. Everything was happening as planned.

Tom: Plot point! Plot point!
Crow [making siren sound]: Woop! Woop! Woop!

>
>***

Tom: Three stars?
Crow: If it's out of 200, then yes.

>
>The freedom fighters assembled with Knuckles at the center of

Crow: ...a black hole, where they were all crushed into a thin layer of
atoms. The end.

>Knothole. They all were very

Tom: ...suicidal, like us.

>concerned and wondered what the mysterious echidna had to say.

Tom [Knuckles]: Just dial 10-321.

>Knuckles looked impassive as Sonic and Sally were joined by Bunny
>Rabbot,

Mike [Bunny]: Dearly beloved, we are heah t' join this heah funny-lookin'
hedgehog and this heah squirrel in holy matrimony.
Crow: Dear God, Mike, that's disturbing.

>Tails the fox, and Antoine. Once all were
>assembled Sally spoke," Were all hear Knuckles what is it you need?"

Crow [Chef]: I need sweet lovin'.

>Knuckles responded," I wish to inform you that on the Floating Island I
>have discovered a power source that is a danger to all of Mobius."
>"Well what is it?" asked Sonic.

Crow [Sonic]: Taco Bell. Man, I ate some of that, and I had the
nastiest...
Tom: Crow...
Mike: Hey, Tom, that's my line!
Tom: I was saving you the trouble. Jeez, try to help somebody...

>"In ancient echidna lore it was said that other than the Green Chaos
>emeralds there was a legend of an evil emrald, the Red Chaos Emerald.

Tom: If it's red, shouldn't it be a Chaos Ruby or something?
Mike: Don't question it, that way lies madness.

>The power of this emerald was said to be strong enough to conquer
>Mobius.

Tom [Church Lady]: How conveeeeenient.
Crow: Too bad it's not enough to destroy Mobius.

>Until recently it was only a myth until I and a friend discovered the
>emerald in the Cave of Ruin. We need some help in deciding what to do
>with it and I thought you might be able to help."

Crow [Lt. Hicks]: Hey, uh, why don't we just, uh, nuke the whole cave?

>Sally took a few moments to take in what she had been told. She knew
>Knuckles gaurded the last Chaos Emerald and felt shiver up her fur at
>the thought of such a power. "If Robotnick learns of it you can bet
>he'll try to get it.

Tom: Of course he will, cause he's THE ONLY ENEMY THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS
EVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH!!!
Mike: Calm down, honey, it's almost over.
Tom [twitching]: Really?
Mike: No.
Tom: ARGH!

>We must make sure he does not. If we can lets go and see this emerald."
>Sally spoke.
>Sonic than shout," Hey Sal I had an idea. What if the emerald were
>responsible for bringing our guess here."

Mike: I call no spelling flames here. That should be "guest." End of
story.
Tom: Actually, "guess" works too. I mean, it's not as if we know
anything about the human.
Crow: You're reaching, Servo.
Tom: Shut up.

>Knuckles inquired," What guess would that be?"

Crow: Again with the guess?
Tom: At least Lane's consistent. Imagine if Ratliff wrote this, it'd be
spelled "guest", "geust", "guess", and "guast".
Crow: And if it were Oscar, it'd be "gauss" or "goats" or even "gatso."
Mike: Are you two done dropping names? Can we please get on with the
fanfic?

>With that Jake came out

Crow: ...of the closet.

>into the open and saw Knuckles. "I believe he would referring to me.
>The name is Jake." Jake then reached out and shook the echidna's gloved
>hand.

Tom: Unfortunately, the sharp ridges on Knuckles' gloves slashed Jake's
wrists, killing him.
Crow [Darth Vader]: You have learned well, my son.

>"It is a pleasure to meet you as well." Knuckles stated humbly.
>"If the emerald is responsible for Jake being here he should accompany
>us to the floating island." Sonic stated.

Tom: Oh, of course. Let's take a person we know exactly NOTHING about to
see an evil device of unimaginable power. Right.

>"I agree; Bunny, Antoine you remain here at Knothole we need to keep
>everyone up and ready for the raid on Robotnicks sixth power generator."

Crow: Huh? What raid?
Mike: More of that missing backstory.

>"You can count on us Sally. Keep in touch." Bunny stated.
>"Lets get moving. I can't stand waiting around any longer." Sonic
>blurted out.
>The freedom fighters prepared for the trip to the Floating Island.

Mike [Sally]: Now, Tails, honey, don't forget to pack extra underwear.
Tom [Tails]: Awww, mom...

>As they were leaving Bunny couln't help but notice

Crow: ...Sonic's firm behind. She licked her lips in anticipation of the
inevitable...
Mike [shudder]

>that she thought she saw Knuckles's eyes glow red for just a second.

Tom: Linda Blair *IS* Knuckles the Echidna!

>
>***

Crow: Hey, if you tilt your head a little this looks like three Poyozo
line dancing.
Mike: Remind me to check your systems for viruses when this is done.

>
>The freedom fighters were very careful as they entered the Cave of Ruin.
>The freedom fighters finally entered into the main chamber of the cave
>and spotted the crimson glow of the

Mike [cheery]: ...roaring hearth fire.
Tom [singing]: Come read us a story Old Bear, we'll all gather round,
dear Old Bear...
Crow: That was... cute. [begins spitting and gagging]

>Red Chaos Emerald filled the chamber. All were on guard as Tails
>noticed s shadow move and yelled,"Hey I saw something move."

Mike: That's yelling?

>Within a heartbeat Sonic was moving towards the area were Tails pointed
>to and caught up with the moving shadow.
>"Well who do we have here?" Sonic stated as he held up a small looking
>ant.

Tom: I guess the ants in "Them" were big looking ants.

>"Put him down Sonic. That's the friend I mentioned earlier. Allow me
>to introduce Archimedes." Knuckles commented.
>"So these are the friends who are going to help us. I'm not impressed."
>Archimedes spoke.

Crow: He dissed Sonic and Co.?
Tom [British accent]: Sacrilege! Let's build a bridge out of him!

>The freedom fighters crowded around Archimedes and did not notice Jake
>moving toward the Red Chaos Emerald.

Tom: Uh huh. Leave it unguarded. Brilliant.

>"We came because we experienced a sort of red rift in our reality at
>Knothole and believe the emerald is responsible." Sally exclaimed

Tom: Thank you Princess Exposition.

>"That is impossible. According to my people's history the emerald on
>works if it touched." Archimedes shouted as fear overcame him.

Mike: That's shouting?
Tom: Apparently.

>"We had a person come through the rift and hoped the emerald could send
>him home. He's right... Where is Jake?"

Tom: The intense action caused him to fall asleep.

>The group turned to see Knuckles holding the Red Chaos Emerald and
>handing it to Jake.
>"Stop them for all of Mobius." Archimedes cried.

Mike: That's "cried?"
Crow: I'd say Lane needs to learn the meaning of the word "emoting."

>Even before the words were fully out Sonic sped towards the two. He was
>to late.

Tom: WHAT? Sonic the Hedgehog, known as the fastest critter alive was too
slow to stop them?
Joel: I guess he hasn't been eating his chili dogs.

>Jake gripped the Red Chaos Emerald and a blinding red light stopped
>Sonic in his tracks.

All [laugh]
Tom: The Chaos Emeralds: All-powerful artifacts of a bygone civilization, or
really cool
looking traffic lights? YOU be the judge!

>When the light dimmed Knuckles was at the ground unconscious

Tom: At the ground, huh? Was he also sitting in a table?
All: TOGGG!

>and the human form of Jake was no longer standing in the spot he was
>last seen. Instead a dark figure stood in his place.

Mike [Darth Vader]: The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next
to the power of the Force.

>The figure was in the shape

Mike: ...of a brand new CAR!
Tom & Crow [crowd noises and general excitement]

>of an echidna. The freedom fighters stared into the red eyes of the
>dark figure.

Tom [Lone Starr]: Are you the leader of the Red-Eye Knights and keeper of
the Force?
Crow [Yogurt]: No, no, that was Alec Guiness.
Mike: The Spaceballs sketch, ladies and gentlemen.

>"At last I am born.

Crow [Bad Ash]: I... live... again.

>Mobius will soon be mine. Freedom Fighters I thank you for allowing
>me to finally be born. I will reward you by not destroying you now.

Crow [Dark Knuckles]: Because I am a super-villain, I will tell you my
plans and go away for a while, instead of killing you immediately
and removing my obstacles right off the bat.
Tom: Dark Knuckles *IS* Dr. Evil!

>Soon you will bow down to me and so shall all of Mobius." the dark
>figure exclaimed.

Crow [Shao Kahn]: BOW... TO... ME...

> Don't bet on it chump. Your not getting away." Sonic yelled. He was
>in motion, but was to late as the dark echidna vanished in a puff or red
>smoke.

Crow: So which was it? A puff or red smoke?
Tom: You know a fanfic is bad when even the writer doesn't think it's
worth it to spend the time to work out the details.

>
>***

Crow: Why do fanfic writers love these things so much?
Tom: I dunno, ask our writer, he uses them to bracket his disclaimer.
Mike [puts his hand over Tom's "mouth"]: Ixnay, Servo.

>
>Robotnick stared out his view port as the mighty factories of
>Robotropolis worked away. A moment later Robotnick was blinded by a
>crimson flash

Tom: So now this is a crossover with The Flash?
Crow: That or Cutey Honey. Either way, it's just wrong.

>and stared face first into a black figure with glaring red eyes.

Crow: As opposed to staring with his... um...
Tom: Forget it, Crow, not even you could make that sound dirty.

>"Swatbots to the command center now." Robotnick shouted.

Crow [sobbing]: You mean I'm losing my edge?

>"Sorry Robotnick, but the Red Chaos Emerald has already overridden your

Mike: Now, now, Crow, there's lots of other bits you could have made sound
dirty. I'm
proud of you, you've managed to avoid making too many sick jokes this
time.
Crow [sobbing]: But, Miiiike, sick jokes are my thing! My schtick! Without
them I'm
nothing!
Tom: Will you two shut up?

>programing of the Swatbots and they now only obey me." the dark figure
>retorted.

Tom [as figure]: I wield the power of the Deus Ex machine!

>Just then six Swatbots came in and surronded Robotnick. "Remove
>Robotnick from Robotropolis and dump him in the forest. Then monitor for
>any freedom fighter activity."

Crow: Bash him, smash him, chop him into tiny little pieces and feed him
to the birds.
Mike: Yuck.

>"You will not get away with this. I will get you." Robotnick screamed
>as he was hauled out of the command center.

Tom [flatly]: You will never defeat me. I am invincible. This planet is
mine, and one day I will return and wreak horrible nasty revenge
with a big knife. Ha. Ha. Ha.

>"Snively please come out from behind the chair. I have some assignments
>for you." the dark figure spoke.

Tom: Do questions 7 through 12, and read pages 15 to 974 in your
textbook.

>"You are not going to harm me or remove me." Snively said coming out
>from benind Robotnick's former command chair.
>"Not at all. Just like Robotnick I to need a boot licker." the dark
>echidna chuckled.

Mike: "I to need a boot licker." Do you get the idea that Lane Kramer is
actually Yoda?
Tom [Yoda]: The fanfic's strength flows from the plot. But beware plot
contrivances, deus ex machina, self-insertion. The dark side are
they.

>"What should I call you master?" Snively asked shyly.

Crow: Snively has been possessed by Torgo!

>"I am Blast, Snively. The name is Blast."

Tom [Blast]: James Blast. Shaken, not stirred.

>The End

Crow: Woohoo!
Mike: Let's get out of here QUICK.

[Bridge of the SoL. Mike walks in carrying Tom. Crow follows with his
head down.]

Crow: *sniff*
Mike [putting Tom down]: Crow? Is something wrong?
Crow [sniffling]: No, no, I'm f-f-fi... Wahhhh! [breaks down in tears]
Mike: Crow! What is it?
Crow [calming slightly]: I've lost my edge, Mike! Look at me, I'm
useless! You might as well replace me with a t-t-tape recorder!
[breaks down again]
Mike: Hmmm...

[Mike whispers something into Tom's dome, who nods and sidles up to
Crow.]

Tom: Hey, Crow, look. I found those Baywatch tapes you were looking for.
Crow [head snapping up]: Really? *drool*
Mike: See, Crow? You're still as sick and warped as ever.
Crow [brightening]: Hey, you're right! I... wait a minute. There aren't
any Baywatch tapes, are there?
Tom: Uh... no.

[Crow leaps on Tom, and they fall behind the console. Mike shrugs and
pushes the Mads-signal-thingy. The hexfield flares to life.]

Mike: What do you think, sirs?

[Deep 13]

Dr. F [jubilant]: I saw! I heard! Your bot was crying! I'm getting closer
Nelson! [begins laughing maniacally]
Pearl: Shut up, Clay!
Dr. F: Yes'm.
Pearl: You mark my words, Nelstone, you'll rue the day you ever tangled
with Pearl Forrester!

[SoL]

Mike: Bite me.

[Deep 13]

Pearl [turning red]: What what what? That does it, next time you're
history! Push the button, Clay.
[Dr. F pushes the button. Fade to credits and closing theme.]
