of hey the ride's over fellas oh well we

apologize for our enthusiastic wooing

sir but as you can tell your ride brings

us great joy you've been on on this

thing five times you getting off just

what the hell does that mean you

fil Chris he's asking if we're done if

we're getting off the ride oh oh pardon

me I'm sorry I I thought that you

thought that well Larry and I were were

lovers or

something now why would I think a thing

like

that well two men on a roller coaster

giggling like school girls you could

easily get the wrong impression I

guess yeah right we are going to go one

more time so uh let her R actually Chris

you know it's getting late but you were

right about today I feel a lot less

tense thanks well Larry the only way to

thank me is to ride the loop One More

Time come on one more time one more time

all right all right one more time and

that's it all right let her

go

weenies okay here we go here we go

through the here we go you bloody

b*stard um Larry are we moving through

the loop a lot slower this time it's

probably just a temporary malfunction I

bet we'll be moving in no more than 2

seconds I bet you're

right Larry we're

stuck it's jam oh no I'll be back

dipping funnel cakes in the deep fry by

tomorrow we'll have you down in no time

hold on to your pants did he just just

ask us where we bought our pants at a

time like this the Gap you idiot now get

us

down Chris today was supposed to be

relaxing it was supposed to be fun

instead I'm stuck in a bad Irwin Allen

movie with an aging Dennis the Menace

all right just relax okay I know you're

frightened Larry but I promise you I

will get us through this thing okay just

relax there's got to be a

morning I it's wa getting right outside

the

door Watergate was really bad the movie

Brian song was kind of sad playing

Pac-Man at the mall China under martial

law gbit comes to town Chris and Larry

upside down we didn't start the fire it

was always I can't take it anymore I'm

going to rip out your vocal cords and

stuff them in your

ear are you getting a little cranky yes

I'm getting cranky we've been upside

down for 2 hours already yeah and that

kind of brings up an interesting point I

wonder how long it takes before all the

blood rushes to your brain and your head

explodes why is this taking so long

don't they realize this thing could fall

at any second Larry don't be ridiculous

this is a state-of-the-art roller

coaster it's been tested double tested

and triple tested we're perfectly safe H

in retrospect what we should have done

is tested this thing obviously that car

can fall the track any second now I'll

have to act fast Henderson call thrill

World find out how they handle their

dead just want to go home

home to my kids and my dear sweet wife

dear sweet

wife hey pal I don't know what you're

smoking over there but I think it's

distorting your sense of

reality shut up you're such an idiot

yeah well has it ever occurred to you

that I'm happy being an idiot Mr 9 to1

Chris it's 9 to5 not 9

to1 W you really put in the hours there

don't

you wait what was that oh we're going to

die up here we're going to die don't say

that Larry don't say that we all right

listen we need to keep our strength

let's let's eat we need to ration what

little food we have

here would you like some Doritos crunch

all you want we'll make

more that is so cool all

fixed

screw up again you idiots you

morons oh what are they yelling at us oh

well they're just shouting you know

words of encouragement best wishes and

so forth that sort of

thing now that's kind of

odd I must be hallucinating I think I

see an Angel that's no angel Larry

that's cutting Bristol from wrxt TV

we're saved Larry we're saved thank God

wait a second TV we we're not going to

be on TV are we well sure we're kind of

like those whales that were stuck in the

ice what if somebody sees me everybody

at work thinks I'm at a funeral oh yeah

air hello I'm Connie Bristol reporting

from Funland amusement park and

suspended upside down behind me are two

very brave men whose lives may end at

could do the interview down on the

ground I asked your

names hey Mom look Uncle Chris and Daddy

this is my friend Larry

Potter ladies and gentlemen it appears

as all the roller coaster is about to

tear off the track and plummet to the

hard concrete below right now during my

exclusive

report

well I guess

not and now let's go back to our Studios

where Dr Charles Freeman will tell us

how long a person can hang upside down

before their head

explodes don't go you can use your crane

thing to get us down sorry reporters

have to stay objective we just can't get

involved with our stories bye come back

come back come back you raing spamming

wh SL Larry Larry get a grip on yourself

Larry I'm thinking clearer now than I've

ever thought before in my life and you

know what it's so simple all we have to

do is unstrap ourselves get out of the

car and climb down the track rung by

rung hand over hand you're insane

that'll never work where's that slot

that wh Larry listen I wouldn't try this

unless I was in Peak physical condition

but you know if you don't feel like

you're up to it then just grab a hold of

my love handles and I'll carry you

down Lorry Lorry I think I'm

miscalculated Larry we are going to die

Goodbye Chris Larry I love you not you

know in a strange way more like a

brother although you know at this point

why should we rule anything

out goodbye my friend

goodbye wait Chris we're moving we're

moving Don't Let Go Oh Praise the Lord

praise the Lord here we go through the

loop through the loop woo woo woo woo wo

Larry

okay that's not going to be good either

Fu what are you doing here I thought you

had a cold and a funeral to go to today

uh well yes sir uh after the funeral I

came here to amusement park to uh buy

some drift

and Potter you're fired now hold on just

a dog on second here who's this Jer well

I am a Southern multibillionaire and you

see this fell here was just trying to

convince me to bring my little company

to your accounting firm oh shut up you

take me for an imile

well actually yes sir I do take you for

an inviso I'm sorry but that's just a

problem I'm going to have to work out on

my own but if I could just have a second

of your time everybody listen up here

Connie come over here I want you to hear

this too my

friend Larry Potter has just been

fired by this

man but I suggest to all of you that

perhaps he deserves a second chance who

Among Us hasn't been given a second

chance just once in their miserable

lives

well I know someone who has given a

second chance a overworked president of

a major accounting firm who had a little

too much Jim Beam one night and decided

to take a joy ride through JC peny on Mr

Ed it took several months but eventually

we all stopped snickering behind his

back and so if we can forgive The

Lovable Town Lush can't we forgive one

of his underlings who after all was

merely trying to relieve some of the

incredible pressure in his life so that

tomorrow he could do his job that much

better

poter

Potter if you ever pull a stunt like

this again you'll be out like

yesterday's

[Music]

garbage see you in the

morning well Larry all in all kind of a

fun one day huh oh

velocity let me get this straight Sharon
