CONTINUED:

George nods.

The bartender places a glass of beer in front of Bob and a large, ridiculous-looking blueberry daquiri with an umbrella in front of George.

Bob puts his fingers in George's mouth, forcing a goofy-looking smile. One of the bar patrons motions wildly to a TV set at the end of the bar.

Everyone in the bar enthusiastically crowds around the TV. Stanley appears on the screen.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: (2)

He runs out of frame and the screen remains empty for a few seconds. Everyone in the bar looks thoroughly engrossed. Stanley runs back into frame with his mop.

The crowd cheers. George and Bob look at each other in astonishment and quickly exit.

Pam is at her desk, answering phone calls in rapid-fire succession.

George and Bob rush in the front door. Pam hands them each a stack of messages as they continue into the main room.

52 INT. MAIN ROOM

Bob heads towards his desk as George approaches Stanley, who is emerging from the studio. The kids from the Kiddie Korner are giving him high-fives.

ANGLE ON PAM

53 INT. U62 STUDIO

The Kiddie Korner is now overflowing with kids and people of all ages. A few are holding signs and banners ("We Love Stanley!", "Stanley Is #1!", "Spadowski Rules!").

They break into spontaneous cheering and applause, and then start to chant.

54 INT. MAIN ROOM

Bob is at his desk, on the phone. George enters as Bob hangs up.

George hands Bob a few index cards. Bob stares at the first card, and then back at George, slightly puzzled.

55 INT. U62 STUDIO - "WHEEL OF FISH" SET

We see a PAN of three game show contestants behind individual podiums.

The studio audience cheers. A blonde, statuesque game show presenter stands next to a large contest wheel on which various types of fish have been nailed. Kuni runs through the studio audience, wearing his white karate outfit. He jumps onto the set.

The audience cheers as Phyllis runs onto the stage and gives the wheel a big spin. Kuni and Phyllis ad lib various encouragements to the wheel ("come on, baby!", "do it for mama!", "fishy fishy fishy..."). The wheel comes to a stop pointing to a swordfish.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

Our blonde presenter has taken the swordfish off the wheel and is holding it out in front of Phyllis. Kuni's assistant comes down the aisle holding a large box on a tray. The studio audience calls out to Phyllis ("Keep the fish!"... "Take the box!"). Phyllis looks back and forth between the fish and the box.

Hiro-san lifts up the box and there's absolutely nothing underneath it. KUNI (continuing, smiling broadly) Nothing! There's nothing in the box! Stupid...! You're so stupid...!!

The audience joins in with shouts of "Stupid!"

56 INT. PHILO'S WORKSHOP

Philo is standing behind a workbench, facing camera. In the b.g. we see assorted, far-out looking electronic equipment buzzing away.

We hear an o.s. GONG, and Philo holds up a piece of torn notebook paper, which says:

He places each of the items on the workbench in front of him.

57 INT. RAUL'S APARTMENT - DAY

We see Raul standing in the middle of his funky apartment, surrounded by cages containing various household pets.

Raul turns the turtle over and throws it as hard as he can towards the ceiling. We hear an o.s. SUCTION sound.

He walks over to his ant farm, which is on top of his dresser.

Raul grabs the ant farm and shakes it vigorously.

58 INT. U62 - DAY

Bob is watching Raul on a monitor as George enters.

59 INT. RAUL'S APARTMENT

Several yapping poodles now surround Raul. He picks one up and starts swinging it back and forth by an open window.

He hurls Foofie out the open window, then looks outside.

The poodles jump up and down, yapping cheerfully. One jumps up into his arms. In the b.g. we see Tommy the Turtle fall through frame.

RAUL hurls Gigi out the window.

60 EXT. RAUL'S APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY

Gigi flies out a third story window and drops with a THUD on a huge mound of poodles on the ground below.

61 INT. CHANNEL 6 - FLETCHER'S OFFICE - DAY

Fletcher is sitting behind his desk, opening a small, gift-wrapped package, as Richard looks on.

Fletcher opens the box and pulls out a wristwatch.

He is interrupted by a KNOCK at the door.

Cronie #2, a moustached man wearing a three-piece business suit and a Rhinestone cowboy hat, enters the office.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

The crony dejectedly rips off his moustache and sulks out of the room.

62 EXTREME CLOSE UP - PANEL FROM SUNDAY COMICS

U62 STUDIO - DAY

Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse is in full swing. The Kiddie Korner is once again jammed to capacity with people of all ages. They laugh and cheer in reaction to Stanley's reading.

He runs over to a table which has a meat grinder on it, jams his hand into the grinder, and starts cranking the handle. He screams at the top of his lungs as we see strings of ground meat ooze out. Suddenly he stops and raises his fully intact hand to the audience.

Stanley runs over to one side of the set, where we see a middle-aged woman, and old man and a small boy furiously searching through a sandbox filled with oatmeal. Suddenly the boy raises his hand triumphantly and a loud SIREN goes off.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

Joel follows Stanley over to a firehose which is propped up. Joel puts his face directly in front of it and opens his mouth wide.

Suddenly a huge blast of water comes from the hose, sending Joel flying out of frame.

Stanley places the spoon against his forehead. He shuts his eyes tightly and grimaces. The Kiddie Korner is spellbound.

He pushes the spoon forcefully against his forehead, causing it to bend. He opens his eyes and looks at it.

The Kiddie Korner cheers.

Everyone excitedly raises their hand, calling out to Stanley ("Me!" "Pick me!"). He approaches a conservatively-dressed businessman with a can of whipped cream and gives him a huge squirt in his mouth.
