[Season 10 Opening Sequence]
[The scene opens on the bridge of the Satellite of Love. A computer
is perched atop the command console. Mike sits behind the computer,
flanked by Tom and Crow. Tom approaches Cambot.]
Tom: Hi everyone, and welcome once again to the Satellite of Love.
Today, we're embarking upon a journey of knowledge and
economic discovery. And why are we doing this? [hushed] Well,
we're a bit low on funds, and we figured that the only way to
get enough money to support us is if Mike becomes rich
overnight. So, we're teaching Mike how to day trade!
[Tom walks over to Mike and Crow.]
Crow: Okay Mike. Wall Street's just about to open. Time to get
started!
Mike: Great! I'm raring to go!
Crow: Trading starts... NOW!
[Tom and Crow anxiously lean towards the screen. Mike sits
motionless, with a happy smile on his face.]
Tom: Mike?
Mike: Ready to go, guys!
Crow: What are you doing?!
Mike: Aren't you two supposed to be teaching me?
Crow: There's no time!
Tom: Log onto daytrader.com! Now!
Mike: Okay, Okay. Hold your horses. Okay. [typing] W. W. W...
Crow: Quick! Buy 3,000 shares of SysvescoCorp!
Mike: [still typing] ...D. A. Y. R. T. A. Whoops! I'll just
backspace...
Tom: It's peaked!
Crow: Okay! Dump the SysvescoCorp and channel everything into
AttillCo!
Mike: [typing] ...T. R. A. D. ...
Crow: Now! Sell!
Tom: Nydex is rising!
Crow: Into Nydex before it splits!
Mike: [typing] ...E. R. S. Dot...
Crow: Over into Hardees!
Tom: Hardees?
Crow: They're about introduce a new sandwich! It's a kind of
barbeque sandwich, but with chicken instead of beef.
Tom: Sounds good. Buy, Mike, buy!
Mike: [oblivious, but still typing] C. O. M! Okay! There
we go! And we're connecting...
Crow: Out of Hardees and over to Interon!
Tom: And... we're done!
Crow: Woo-hoo! We're on the money train now!
Mike: Okay! We're connected! Now what?
Crow: Now we reap in the profits!
Mike: Don't I have to start investing first?
Tom: What?
Crow: Good grief! [Crow stares at the screen] You didn't do a
thing that we said!
Mike: Sure I did! I typed in the site name.
Tom: Mike! You just lost $860,000!
Mike: How? I didn't buy anything!
Crow: Oh, great! And I had my heart set on that yacht too!
Tom: And I was going to finish my Beanie Baby collection!
Nice one, Mike!
Mike: What?
[The mads' light begins to flash.]
Mike: Oh, never mind. E.F. Hutton and company are calling...
[The bots cease their bickering and lean over towards Mike, as
if straining to listen.]
Mike: Oh, stop that. That joke was old twenty years ago.
[Mike hits the light, and the view shifts to...]
[Castle Forrester]
[Pearl stands in the foreground. Behind her are stacks and
stacks of boxes, each with a large label on it. Some are
marked "Make money fast!" Others bear the label "Cookie
recipes!" Many, many, many of them bear the label "porn."
Bobo and Observer are attempting to haul those away.]
Pearl: Hey there Tom! Crow! Rich Uncle Moneybags! I'm afraid
that we here at Castle Forrester have been letting our
responsibilities slide here lately, and now we're
neck deep in spam.
[S.O.L.]
Mike: Aren't you getting sick from all of the pork product
fumes?
[Castle Forrester]
Pearl: [dryly] No, Mike. We've fried it up, so it smells
quite tasty. [Sighs]
Observer: Pearl? What shall we do with these, charming,
solicitations for "adult" entertainment?
Pearl: Dump them in the incinerator, Brain Guy. It'll
keep us warm for a month. Anyway, Mike, we've
got a backlog of spam for you, so we thought that
we'd send you a charming little e-mail called
"What if the Average Person Knew This?" It's
about a fantastic, yet indescribable, way of
making money. Enjoy.
[S.O.L.]
[The lights are flashing wildly.]
Tom: [to Crow] Maybe we can sell some of those Pokemon
cards...
Crow: Nah. The bottom fell out on that market after the
"Wad of Cards" expansion.
Mike: Never mind that! We've got E-MAIL SIGN!!
[Mike hits the light, and the door sequence begins.]
[6 . . . 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .]
[Crow enters, followed by Mike who carries Crow. They quickly sit.]
Mike: So, let me get this straight. You want me to sell
a kidney on ebay?
Crow: You have two of them, Mike.
Tom: We really need the money...
Mike: I'll think about it.
>From: <rr...@gnwmail.com>
>To: <rr...@gnwmail.com>
Tom: Wow. I've never seen a spammer trying to trying
to convince himself to make money fast.

Mike: How to make emoticons? I think it's pretty common knowledge.

Mike: These chowderheads believe that an alien known as
"Ralph" has given them permission to smack people
with small mouthed bass, all the while singing show
tunes. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS!

Tom: Well, it's hard to ignore them continually running up

Tom: We'll send you a deck of cards, a cheap card table,
and instructions on how to play three card monte. Then
you're well on your way to financial success!

Crow: Just follow the simple advice in my new book, "How to

Crow: Oh, it's a bug.
Mike: Hey, why should we be beta testers for the US government?

Tom: Blasted bank. Who on earth thought that a 132 digit PIN

Mike: So, where does the extra $8 come from?
Tom: You need to drive around to local gas stations and raid their

Crow: But if you do it every hour, then you'll go blind.

Mike: You'll even be able to afford that adverb removal that

Crow: Can you do it on a train? Or while you're swinging from a
plane?
Tom: Well, I will not do it on a train. Or while I'm swinging
from a plane. I will not make some money fast. Now, move
along before I kick your as...

Mike: And Richie Rich and Chicken make a surprise guest appearance.
Tom: Let's skedaddle.
[Mike lifts Tom up from his seat and the trio heads out of the
theater.]
[1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . 5 . . . 6 . . . ]
[A small stand has been constructed on the SoL's bridge. A sign
above the stand reads "Tom and Crow's Gen-U-Ine Currency Exchange."
The bots anxiously wait behind the stand. After a few moments,
Mike enters. The bots begin to elbow each other and eye Mike
as he approaches these stand.]
Mike: A currency exchange, huh?
Tom: Yep. We decided to follow the advice of the people in
the e-mail and use the flaws in the world currency market
to help us achieve financial independence.
Mike: So, you sent these weasels money?
Crow: Well, no.
Tom: Crow blew the last of your funds on some counterfeit
"Rock and Roll Elmos", so we had to come up with a
plan by ourselves.
Crow: And you're our first customer!
Mike: [Sighing.] Well, I guess I'll play along. [Mike reaches
into his wallet and withdraws a bill.] Here's twenty
bucks. Work your financial magic on me.
[Tom disappears below the stand.]
Crow: Okie-dokie. We'll take your twenty bucks and give you...
[Tom reappears with a box.]
Tom: This box of currency!
[Mike opens the box and looks in.]
Mike: This is a box of rocks, guys.
Crow: Correction! It's a box of bright, shiny rocks!
Mike: This isn't really currency.
Tom: It is in The Upper Democratic Republic of the Congo!
Crow: And Grand Fenwick too!
Mike: Guys, I'm afraid that...
[Mike stops and peers into the box again. Momentarily,
he looks up with an odd look on his face.]
Mike: I'll be right back.
[He exits, with the box.]
Crow: Well then. Tom, do you want to tell people how
to join our little hobby?
Tom: Currency speculation?
Crow: No! Misting!
Tom: Oh, that. Just join the MiSTing Authors Dibs List,
by sending an e-mail to majo...@neylonpc.engin.umich.edu...
[Mike reenters.]
Mike: Hey guys? Can I get some more of that currency?
Crow: Sure thing!
[Tom pops below the stand and returns with another box.]
Tom: Here you go!
Mike: Thanks.
[Mike exits.]
Crow: Sucker.
Tom: Yep. Anyway, where was I?
Crow: Subscribing.
Tom: That's right. Send an e-mail to:
majo...@neylonpc.engin.umich.edu with the message
"subscribe dibslist [<your name>]" in the message body
and boom, you're in.
[Mike re-enters.]
Crow: Say, Mike? We've still got another box of shinys...
Mike: I'll take that one too.
Tom: Be right back.
[Tom darts down to grab another box, and returns moments
later.]
Tom: Here you go.
Mike: Thanks guys. [He exits.]
Crow: Servo? Since when does Mike willingly go along with
our hare-brained schemes?
Tom: Well, um, never.
Bots: Uh-oh. MIKE!!!
[Mike returns to the bridge.]
Mike: Yes?
Crow: What exactly are you doing with those rocks?
Mike: Selling them.
Tom: Come on. Who's stupid enough to buy rocks? Besides
you, of course.
Mike: Well, no one. But they'll happily buy rubies.
Crow: Rubies?
Mike: And other gemstones. You two filled up those boxes
with uncut gems. Quite a bargain for twenty bucks.
Tom: Gemstones?
Mike: Yep. I've made enough money from the deal to repay
all of my credit cards that you've plundered. Thanks
guys! I guess your currency speculation scheme actually
does work. Just not for you. [Mike grins wildly.] Mike
one, bots zero.
[With that, Mike smiles and hits the button, causing the picture
to contract with a ....]

\ | /
--- * --- PWOOOOSH!

Crow: [V.O.] Well, blast.
Tom: [V.O.] Relax. He still hasn't realized that we know his
PIN. We'll be rolling in the dough soon enough.
Mike: [V.O.] What are you two smiling about?
Bots: [V.O.] Nothing!
