[Announcer]
Twentieth-Century Fox presents...

Hours Again
starring Oswald Bates.

[Gravelly Voice]
I wanna talk to you, Bates.

Don't you knock before
"enamatizin"' a room?

Just shut up and listen.

One of your ex-buddies, Billy Bear,
just busted out of prison...

and you're gonna
help me find him.

You got no choice, convict.

You cannot expectorate me
to digest my secretions.

Kiss my beehive.

Look, Bates...

help me find him,
I'll give ya anything you want... anything!

Just tell me what you want!

I need to assist my penal implanter...

and lactify my oral embankment.

In other words...

I need a dictionary.

You got it, Bates.

♪♪ [Country]

Ever been in a country bar, Bates?

These good ol' boys are gonna love you.

I can fondle my own piece cool.

Think so, convict?

I can't wait to see it.

Hell, I'm even gonna give you a badge.

Your siliconic gyrations
got my delicatessen open.

Bitch.

- Howdy.
- Doody.

Want do you want to drink?
A black Russian?

- [All Laughing]
- [High-pitched Laugh]

How'd you like me
to suppositorily tenderize your posterior?

Not to mention your "pusterior."

- Where's Boo-boo Bear?
- What the hell are you talking about?

Relate the "definicious" locality
of Boo-boo Bear...

or else be "circumvised."

I don't have to tell you nothin'.

On the contraire, my redneck eclair.

I've been "pigmatized."
My colon card.

Okay, you're a cop.

But I can't understand you.

What we have here
is a failure to "ejacubate."

I don't know what you're sayin',
but I'm gonna kick your butt.

Go, ahead.
Make my "goombag."

[Groaning, Yelling]

Listen up, "au-revoir-ckers."

I'm about to fornicate
your innermost ovulations.

We don't understand what you're saying.

Regurgitate, or be Turtle-Wax.

[Glass Shatters]

Look...

if somebody doesn't
tell him where he is...

not only is my throat
gonna get sore...

but he's gonna be talkin' like this
all night long.

Please, not that.
Okay?

Billy Bear lives next door.
Second-floor apartment.

A'ight, Colonel Sanders.

Remember, there's
a new "doo-shay" in town.

[Announcer]
Hours Again...

coming soon to a theater near you.

[Announcer]
He was a peace officer...

but he wanted more
than just peace on the streets...

he wanted peace
in his eternal soul.

Armed with only a gold badge and those stripes
of gold paint down his nose, he was...

He was the toughest cop
to ever hit the streets...

whether he was walking a beat
or banging one out on his tambourine.

[g*nshots Ricocheting]

[Announcer] But one day
the tambourine stopped beating.

Partner! No!

Oh, my God! No!

Why couldn't it have been me?

Why did it have to be Rajnisattva?

Hey, Jake.
Did you get him?

Go ahead, kid. Run along and play.
Get outta here.

Maybe later, Jake. But now we have to
catch the guy who shot me.

Is that you? Rajnisattva?

What do you think?

It is you, little buddy!

And, oh, yeah, my name's Timmy now.
Officer Timmy.

Okay.
Let's go, Officer Timmy.

- Hey! Freeze!
- [Announcer] Krishna Cop.

Destined to be reincarnated
again and again...

until the city streets are finally safe
for peace-loving citizens.

Freeze!

- He's got more soul than James Brown...
- [g*nsh*t]

And more lives than Shirley MacLaine.

Oy!

- They say a cat has nine lives.
- [Barks]

[g*nsh*t]

Well, that's a slow day
for Krishna Cop.!

- [Car Horn Honking]
- Kids, sounds like Dad's home.

- Yea!
- Yea!

[Man] Home from a long day
ofhosting a popular game show...

it's professional quizmaster
and host of this household...

Bill Benson.!

- ♪♪ [Theme]
- [Audience Applauding, Cheering]

Thank you, and good evening.

Now let's say hello to my cohost
for the last years.

She's a homemaker and a mother of two...
my wifeJanet.

- Hi, Bill!
- [Audience Applauding]

Janet, why don't you tell us
what's in tonight's dinner showcase?

Tonight's dinner
prize package includes...

an evening's supply of Rice-A-Roni,
the San Francisco treat.

And for dessert
we'll be having Certs with Retsyn.

That's Certs.
It's like two... two... two mints in one.

Yummy!

Now let's meet our two children.

Conceived in the back seat
of a ' Ford...

and the reason her mother and father
"had to"get married...

[Janet Laughs]
Oh, Bill.!

Our daughter, age ,Jenny Benson.!

- Come on down!
- [Audience Applauding]

Good to have you back
in the living room, Jen.

All right, now, our next contestant...

he doesn't like sports...
or so he says.

But his mother and I both know he's too
embarrassed about his lack of endowment...

to shower with the other boys.

Our son, age , Chris Benson.!

Come on down!

[Audience Applauding]

Okay, kids, you know the rules.

Now let's get right to the game.

Now, our first item...

is a handsome ceramic table lamp.

Janet?

Handcrafted in Mexico...

but destroyed by a tennis ball
here in the Benson living room.

Once valued at $ ...

it's now completely worthless.

Okay, contestants,
who broke the damn lamp?

♪♪ [Countdown]

Remember, no one eats
until they speak up.

- Jenny.!
- It was Chris! He did it!

Chris, I'm sorry.
I guess that makes you our big loser.

You'll be heading upstairs to bed
without any dinner.

But thank you for playing with us
this evening.

Thanks!
I really had a good time!

All righty, then.

- And Jenny, you'll also be going upstairs.
- But why?

Because the password is "snitch"!

But we have some lovely
parting gifts for you.

Jenny, you'll be receiving
a month's supply of birth control pills...

as well as the upstairs version
of our home game!

Thanks!
I really enjoyed playing the game!

Well, that's all that matters, Jenny.
Now beat it!

Bye-bye.

Oh, Janet, you know
what I'd like to do...

while the kids are upstairs
in their soundproof bedrooms?

Hmm.

I'm gonna say...

make whoopee?

She said, "Make whoopee."
I said, "Fall asleep watching the ball game."

Oh, Bill!
You never wanna do it anymore!

Look who's talking.
You're as cold as our Frigidaire!

And with twice the storage space!

Watch it, Bill. I think our marriage
might be in serious Jeopardy.!

Then I'll take " Mistresses
with Large Breasts" for .

[Horn Sounding]

You've just hit the Daily Double.

If you answer correctly, I could win
a divorce and half your belongings.

Here's the answer:

Bill, she's been your lunch break
for the last five years.

♪♪ [Countdown]

Who is my secretary?

- [Bell Dinging]
- Sounds like I'm correct!

- I'm going to k*ll you, you rotten bastard!
- [Laughs] Judges?

- [Bell Dinging]
- Sounds like they're going to allow that.

And how's she gonna k*ll me today?

She's gonna do it in style with
a distinctive set of fine china from Royal Dalton.

Royal Dalton adds a touch of elegance
to any vicious attack.

But that's not all, Bill.

I'll also be pummeling you with pots and pans
from Ekco Non-stick Wear.

Ekco. Even the messiest blood
won't stick to it.

- [Birds Twittering]
- Kids!

And I suppose
you'll be taking the children...

on an all-expense-paid vacation
to your mother's house.

That's right, Bill.

But that's not all.

We'll be leaving you
in your brand-new car!

[Gasps]

Well, that's it for today's game.

Tune in tomorrow when I'll play
with nubile young coeds...

on The Rebound Game.

- ♪♪ [Theme]
- [Audience Applauding]

[Announcer] And now another episode
ofThe Head Detective.

I'm telling you, partner...

I never thought this hard-boiled head
would ever go soft for a dame.

But this blonde-haired, green-nosed
hot potato knocked me for a loop.

Just look.

Hey.
What's her name?

Candy.

Candy Yam.

[Laughs]
Whoa! Look at those taters.

Sounds like you're in love, Head.

Love's not the word, partner.
I'm crazy, head-over-heels about her.

I can't wait.
I'm taking her to the beach today.

[Female Dispatcher]
Car , we have a robbery in progress...

at First State Bank, Fourth and Main.

That's affirmative. All right, Head,
time to go to work. Let's roll.

[Imitating Siren]

[Tires Screech]

Sorry about that.

All right, everybody freeze!
Police!

You folks can relax.

- Which way did they go?
- [Stammering] I don't know. They got away.

Damn!
That's the fifth time this week.

Well, let's get to work.

Oh, man, with all the questions and paperwork,
there goes my date tonight.

All right, Head.
I'll wrap it up around here.

- You go on.
- Really?

You'd do that for me, partner?

Get outta here, you knucklehead.

- Thanks, partner!
- Have fun!

I have to tell you, honey...

I'm really potato-whipped.

Mm-hmm!
Wanna neck?

- That's the same thing my doctor asked me.
- [Both Laughing]

Hey! I'm gettin' wet!

- All right. You positive it was a woman?
- Yes, yes.

Okay, I'm gonna need you
to describe her, if you can.

All right.

She was very short...
about five inches.

- Five inches?
- Mm-hmm.

Uh, she had a kind of a pear-shaped face
and no legs.

- She had nice feet, though.
- Okay, nice feet.

Um, she had red hair
and a blue nose.

Her ears were round,
and they kind of jutted out to the side.

And she always seemed to be smiling.

Mmm. Okay. Take a look at this
and tell me what you think.

[Gasps]
That's her.

This woman has robbed five banks
in the past week.

We can't seem to track her down.

[Sighs]

Hey.
Wait a minute.

Come on.

Hmm.
Now, if I were to do this...

Uh-huh.

And make that blue nose
a green one...

Oh, my God.
I've got to warn Head.

Call the police.
Tell 'em to meet me at the beach district.

[Both Laughing]

I just have to go powder my nose
and put on my face.

See ya in a second.

Okay, cutie pie.
I'll be right here.

[Thud]

Head. Head. Thank God I found you.
I've been looking all over for you.

What are you doing here?

I got some bad news, Head.

Our bank robber...

It's Candy.

Oh, God!

I'm sorry, pal.

I didn't want to have to
break it to you like this.

- [Candy] Okay, this is a stick-up.!
- Candy!

Well, pal, I guess it's time for us
to peel that potato.

Come on!

Hurry it up,
before I lose my stuffin'!

All right, police! Freeze!

Put the g*n down, Mrs. Yam.
Those gorgeous eyes don't faze me.

No, don't sh**t, man.
Candy, let me talk to ya.

Okay, you can come, Head.

But the copper with the g*n stays put!

You sure you know
what you're doing, partner?

Trust me, man.

This potato seems like
she got a chip on her shoulder.

Set me down nice and easy.

You heard me.
Back off, copper!

- Oh, Candy. Why didn't you tell me?
- I tried.

But every time I opened my mouth
it just came out half-baked.

Gee, I always dreamed of the two of us
in a little house with a white picket fence...

maybe a couple of tater tots
running around.

You got under my skin.
That's more than anyone else ever did.

Take care of yourself...

you big lunkhead.

Candy, stop.
Candy... No!

- Aaah!
- [Splash]

[Weeping]
I loved her, man.

I really loved her.

Aw, forget it, Head.

This is Burgertown.

Not her eyes...
You're eating her eyes.

[Announcer] This has been
another episode ofThe Head Detective.
