You can do it, Stanley Ipkiss.


You can get your own dates.

- Care to..
- Dance?

Uh, delighted.

Pretorius.

Health and genetic makeup..

...excellent.

Are you some kind of doctor?

beep beep

Brain stem,
larger than average.

You'll do.

Ah!

Oh, no.

Must use The Mask
for good, after all.

tush

whoosh whoosh

Ah, do you come here often?

I have never been here.

But then, I've never sought a
bride before.

His head. It's gone!

woink

Much better.

bam thud

crack crack

thud

[crowd screaming]

We'll be safe at my place.

I calculated the probability
that you might be here tonight.

To interfere with my plan.

So, I came prepared
to remove your mask.

Defense.

grr grr

Ha ha ha.

Ugh.

Mental note.

I'm not a crook.

[dramatic music]

Oh, my gosh.

Psych. Ha ha ha.

Oh, somebody stop me.

O-oh, ha ha ha.

Smokin'.

Mental note.

Construct new robot body.

Mask, your powers are bizarre,
unpredictable

and beyond the realm of science.

And if you were a woman,
I would marry you.

Yaah!
Agh!

[Stanley]
'Another night at the Coco-Bongo
without meeting anyone.'

Haven't been on a date
in three years?

Your only companion a dog?

No, no, I'm not that desperate.

The comet Sebo will pass within


becoming visible
to star gazers everywhere.

Let's take a look, Milo.

This is a once
in a life time experience.

I wish I had someone special
to watch it with.

[whimpering]

[Pretorius]
'It approaches.'

And with it the realization
of my scheme.

But first there is a detail
yet to be worked out.

I'm still in search of..

...the perfect bride.

'Haven't been on a date
for three years?'

[Stanley]
'Well, I'm picky, Charlie.'

I won't go out with
just anyone, like you.

Excuse me, I'm very picky.

I only go out with
good-looking blondes.

Well, my perfect woman is
someone soft spoken.

'You know, someone who doesn't
need to dress fancy.'

'Who likes to stay home and
read.'

If she's
socially inept or awkward

hey, that's okay.

[screaming]

Ha ha ha.
Gave me a little jolt, there.

Umm, agh.

Is this new accounts?

I'm sorry,
I didn't quite hear you.

[clears throat]

Is this new accounts?

Cause I would like to open
an account for my dog.

For your...dog?

Uh-huh.

Esmeralda.

Oh, oh, she is cute.

Well, she is very, very shy.

Ha ha ha, I see.

Oh, you like comets?

Ha, 'cause I like comets too.
Ow!

Ha ha ha, oh,
she's wild about you, my man.

Really?
How can you tell, Charlie?

I can't make out a word.

[Charlie]
'Oh, come on, I got a sixth
sense about these things.'

She's a caged animal
waiting to escape.

She'll eat you alive.

[indistinct chattering]

Hi.

Listen, uh, wou-wou-would you be
interested in watching

the co-co-comets, you know.

'Cause I've got
this great telescope and I..

[mumbling]

Uh, I'm, was that a yes?

[man on TV]
'We now return to Friday night
co-ed mud wrestling.'

Milo, Milo, Milo,
my little buddy.

Could you make yourself
scarce tonight?

Because I have got a date.

Evelyn.

Get down, get down, get down.

swish swish swish

brrh brrh

[instrumental music]

Nah!

I almost got it.

thump thump

Gotta be her.

sniff sniff

- Hi.
- Hi.

Come on in.

This is nice.

Oh, you've brought your dog.

- Mm-hmm.
- Have a seat.

I'll be right back.

Milo, do it for me.
Just for a while?

I promise.
I'll buy you a steak, please?

Here we go.
Look, Milo. It's Esmeralda.

grr

[whimpering]

slurp slurp

[instrumental music]

Ha! Dogs.

Nature's little clowns.

Pork rinds?

[instrumental music]

Right.
Entertain her.

Ha ha ha. You know what really
cracks me up?

This.

Aah! Ha ha ha.

[dramatic music]

I don't get it, Milo.
The face always gets a laugh.

I just can't tell
if she likes me.

Hey, maybe I should talk about
her dog more.

[whimpering]

Sorry, I didn't mean
to rub it in.

Enough dilly-dallying.

I asked her here
for one reason.

A moment like this comes
once in a life time.

It would be foolish to
just let it pass by.

Umm!

Oh, no.
I meant the comet.

Please. Yup. Comets.

You know, Evelyn,
they are so far away.

- And yet..
- So close.

Well...yeah.

Um, Oh, God.

Um, uh, I have to go.

[Stanley]
'No, wait, Evelyn,
that's the closet.'

crash thud

[instrumental music]

[Evelyn]
'I can't see.
without my glasses.'

Evelyn, no!

whoosh whoosh

Hi there, sugar.

And now these messages.


And now back to show.

- Evelyn.
- Call me, Eve.

It's more how you say,
je ne sais quoi.


Oh, Stanley,
when I look at you

I see vital organs
and my head aches.

In a good way.

We were meant for each other.

You love pork rinds.
I love pork rinds.

slurp
slurp

Oh, those faces you make.

Aah! He he he.

She thinks I'm
screw ball rabbit.

Screw ball rabbit?

[screaming]

You're hurtin' my back.

Ha ha, and you're
makin' me sweat.

Kiss me.

mwah
mwah

[whimpering]

I guess she likes me after all.

And then he dumped me.

And that's why I became..

...a cow girl.

[Pretorius]
'The comet Seba nears its
closest proximity to the Earth.'

I am running
out of time.

Well, I've been talkin'
about myself all night.

I wanna know more about you.

Well, I have developed
a new tissue rejuvenation serum.

[dramatic music]

Help me.

What do you think?

Ugh!

He's...kinda cute.

Then you'll do.

Where ya goin'?

I was just gonna go
to the men's..

Oh, yeah.
Ha, cha cha cha.

thud

Oh.

They are really good,
aren't they, darlin'?

Darlin'?

[instrumental music]

[Evelyn]
Aw, you shiverin',
slender thing.

Ah, uh, I-I-I'm frozen in fear.

I'll heat you up.

Oh, should I remove The Mask?

Eve, really loves me.
But what if Evelyn doesn't?

But the mask
must be used for good.

It's good
that she loves me.

But she's got
a big green head.

What would
our children look like?

Mask has got to go!

How about that?
The stars are far away.

Yet so very, very close.

Yeah, so close.

Say it in French.

[screaming]

Get off my spleen.

S'il vous plait.

Huh?

[dramatic music]

Eve, behind you.

mwah mwah mwah

Oh, feisty rabbit.

[whirring]

At last. My perfect bride.

The future belongs to me.

Stanley-y-y!

[instrumental music]

We'll be right back.

[instrumental music]

And now, back to the show.

The comet quickly approaches
it's closest proximity to Earth.

Yes, siree, space not it's gonna
be one cosmic spectacle.

The moment I saw you doing
that new-fangled jitterbug dance

I knew we were destined
to spend eternity together.

Forgive me for encasing you in
the titanium based cylinder.

But it was necessary to contain
your mask super powers.

He thinks I'm Eve.

Ha, I hope he likes surprises.

'This laser cannon will divert
the Comet Seba from its course'

to a direct collision
with Edge City.

'When the comet
strikes earth..'

'...it will destroy
all human life.'

'Just like the dinosaurs.'

That is except for you and me,
when we retreat to my

underground stronghold.

Ironic name, Eve.

Considering we shall be
the Adam and Eve

of a new super-human race.

Born of my brilliant intellect
and your mask powers.

Sure.

Except I don't have
any mask powers at the moment.

And you are psychotic.

Ow!

But first, I must
remove your head.

'So we're more
physically compatible.

Let me out of here.
Let me out of here.

boom

Get away from my
screw ball rabbit.

You're not Eve.

Eve, be mine and we shall
rule the Earth together.

Dream on, zippy.

I love Stanley Ipkiss.

Eve, uh, Eve,
those things never work.

Goodbye, Eve.

It's up to you, now.

Good thing I'm inperious

Hmm, how to stop a speeding

I'm stumped. Might as well go

For foiling my brilliant plan.

'Freeze, low life.'

I'm sorry,
what was that?

[clears throat]

I said...freeze, low life!

You just get away
from the man that I love!

Aren't we the bold one?

That's right!
I guess I did.

Now you can say...farewell.

'Ha ha ha, you know,
Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve.'

We have everything in common.
I mean, comets and pork rinds.

And making funny faces.

He he he.

- Too bad I wanna k*ll your dog.
- Hey, likewise.

What?

Excuse the heck out of me
but at least Milo knows

not to do his doody
on my comic book collection.

Well, maybe Esmeralda wouldn't
have had to doody

if your dog didn't
make her so nervous.

There is only one thing to do.

We don't have much choice.

I'm glad I have someone special
to watch the comet with.
