Crow: [groans] Please don't mention that name.
Mike: Why, what's wrong with--

Tom: Yeah, no mentioning of "V.C. Andrews" either.

Crow: *Now* who's pushing the limit, Mr. Nelson?

Mike: Yeah, Bashir was full of fear because his hair was mussed.
Tom: Could you imagine the photographer?
Crow: [Photographer] C'mon, Bashir, just *one* picture of this
traumatic event?

Tom: A little *too* carefully.

She disappeared," Odo muttered to himself.

Crow: It's good to know Odo is so well-educated in the
behaviors and motivations of the Undead.
Tom: Hey, cut Odo some slack. He probably uses Ouija boards

are, RIGHT?!?

[Doors close]
[S.O.L.]
Mike: Man, the only good thing about that fanfic was its
short length. It may have FELT as long as the Bible,
But... Guys? ...Guys?
[Mike looks around. The bots aren't there. The lights dim.
Cobwebs are on the walls and rubber rats are crawling around.]
Mike: C'mon, this isn't funny. Cut it out.
[Sounds of wolves howling and chains rattling.]
[Wind rushes. Thunder booms and lightning flashes.]
[A spotlight shines on a large photograph of Crow on the wall
behind Mike.]
Gypsy enters with tea stains on her.
Gypsy: Hi, Mike! [looks around]
Oooooooh... [faints]
Mike: Gypsy?
[Tom Servo's voice echos through the S.O.L.]
Tom's Voice: Cosmic Justice...
Mike: Cosmic Justice? Is that a comic
book superhero? What do you
mean, "Cosmic Justice"?
Gypsy: [rises] Oooooohhh... [faints]
Mike: What's going on around here?
Gypsy: [rises, hysterically laughing] Heeheeheehee... [faints again]
[Spotlight shines on a pair of fake googly-eyes that are
scotch-taped to the wall. Blood seeps from the wall in
great gouts. Mike's hair blows in the wind as
a bright light shines in his face.]
Mike: Who's saying that? WHO ARE YOU?!?
Gypsy: Heeheeheehee... [faints]
[A white sheet with eye-holes cut in it, and about the
size and shape of Tom Servo, comes up from below and
moves ominously towards Mike.]
Tom's Voice: Cosmic Justice must be served!
[Mike backs up against the bloody wall and
beats the back of his head on it.]
Mike: This is not happening [thud]... this is not happening [thud]...
Tom's Voice: Justice! JUSTICE!!
Mike: Nooooooooo!!!
[The sheeted figure slips in the blood and falls over.]
Tom's Voice: ARGH!
Mike: [Touches the "blood" on the wall and tastes it] Hey!
You guys used up all the strawberry jam!
[Mike lifts up the sheet. Tom painfully rises.
Gypsy rises as well.]
Mike: Very funny.
Gypsy: We had you scared there for a minute, huh?
Mike: Uh, heh-heh. Who, me? Naw. I was just playing
along.
Gypsy: Suuure, Mike. [exits]
Mike: Aw, come on! There's nothing that can scare me!
Tom: [from behind Mike] RATLIFF!
Mike: [turns, startled] Ahhhhh!
[Tom chuckles]
Mike: That was a low blow, Servo.
Tom: Jeez, sorry. You're lucky we didn't start throwing
the female reproductive organs around.
Mike: Well, there's one thing I can say for certain. [clears throat]
Now that fanfic writer Henry Chatroop has finally written his
little heart out, there is no other reason for him to write
anymore. He has returned from whence he came.
And there is no reason for him to return again.
[The photograph of Crow on the wall moves and speaks:]
Crow's Photo: Hey, Mike?
[Mike and Tom look at the photograph.]
Crow's Photo: [ominously] Don't bet on it.
Mike and Tom: AHHHHHHHH!!!!
[Deep 13]
[Pearl rises from beneath her table. Her hair is
sticking straight up. She is pale and shivering.]
Pearl: N-now *that's* scary!
[Her shaking hand presses the button.]
