1010: It Lives By Night Movie: A Batologist and his wife go on a vacation or a honeymoon or something and they make a stop at a cave. There, they fall into a crevace and the man gets bitten by a bat. Soon he begins to develop what we are supposed to assume is bat-like qualities (Though chances are, it's only rabies). He kills a few people here and there, then he goes to live in a cave with his wife. Opening: It's painting day on the SOL. They're gonna spruce up the galley and the companionways and the can. Can really needs it. Mike shows the bots giant paintchips to see how they affect them. Crow just wants to date Lisa Stansfield, no matter what the color. Eggshell makes them panic. The end. Host Segment 1: Pearl sprays Mike and the bots with certified government poisons and refuses to admit it. Mike and the bots whine until she sends antidotes. In short, they create a little playlet about government security policy in the Cold War era. Host Segment 2: Crow dresses like Mary Tyler Moore in order to make the point that he looks Moore (get it?) like Mary than the woman in the movie does. Crow is so persistant that he makes Mike dress like Ted Baxter and Servo like Lou Grant and they put on a lame "Mary" sketch. Mike and Servo refuse to call Crow Mary, as they should, and Crow leaves in a huff, none the wiser. Host Segment 3: The bots find Mike passed out with foamy whiteness surrounding his mouth. The bots rashly assume he was rabid, and stick him full of hypothermic needles. Actually, it turns out that Mike had fallen asleep while eating a cream puff. They have a rich laugh and continue the injections. Host Segment 4: Mike puts on a mustache, a bushy one like Dr. Groovy on the film. He calls Pearl to see how a woman might like it. She says it's okay. Suddenly Crow appears with a gigantic, ridiculously bushy mustache. Pearl goes wild for him. Mike leaves in a tizzy, and Servo Appears in a Yosemite Sam-size 'stache. He tips over and drops like a tree. End: Inspired by the bum in the movie, Servo gets a kit from the Buddy Ebsen Hat Distressing Corporation, making nice hats suitable for bums for decades. Turns out he paid twenty grand for a bag of dirt. Meanwhile, Pearl has trapped Bobo and Brain Guy in the castle showing them slides of the various honeymoons she's had, with husbands who all died under "suspicious circumstances." Stinger: Batty Johnny says "well?" and goes batty. Special Notes: None |
