This is probably a frequently used line, but *I think* the reference
was the end of the Wierd Al movie UHF, where the station engineer
says that, walks into a field and zaps off into space.

Anyone have a clue where the whole ghost town/creepy guy thing
comes from. Looks too much like a reference, but I'm not identifying it.

The exact line from the show was, I believe, "Well, my work is done here."
This was the same line word-for-word uttered by Leon Kompowski at the end of
the "Stark Raving Dad" episode; I thought it was an amusing reference to a
previous show, although I've no doubt that this line is frequently used else-
where.

Including Saturday Night Live in the late 70's. There was a film skit with
John Belushi and Jane Curtin starring as Pennsylvania Dutch detectives. They
get a case, travel to it in their horse-drawn buggy, and by the time they get
there, the case is solved. When they arrive, Belushi says, "Our work is done
here..."
