Gypsy: And then the moon came out & it was like Jerry WILLED it!!!
Crow: C'mon, Mike! Freak, freaky, freely dude!!!
Mike: (Hesitantly) Alright...Freak...Freaky...Freely? (Music begins)
(Mike sings real twangy vocals to Grateful Dead-like music)
Been riding on that Cosmic Freight Train feeling bad...
And don't you come around her anymore! (To Crow) Take it!
(Crow begins a LONG guitar solo. Mike and the other bots stand around
patiently. Mike smiles, politely as the solo drags on...At one point
Mike tries sing another line from the song, but is drowned out by
Crow's continuing guitar solo. Mike and other Bots wait...and wait...
and wait...and wait...Crow continues...Mike takes off his headband and
wipes at his eyes with it.
Gypsy moos, nervously. Mike is looking REAL
bored by about now...The Transmission
Light from Deep 13 blinks...Cut
to Deep 13...Frank and Dr. Forrester are asleep standing up, leaning
against each other. Frank starts sucking his thumb, contentedly. Cut
back to the Satellite of
Love. Crow is STILL playing. Mike & Tom are
playing a game of chess, while
Gypsy whispers moves
into Mike's ear.
Cut to exterior of the Satellite. Earth hangs serenely in the background.
The entire cosmos is filled with Crow's droning guitar solo. Cut back
to interior of Satellite. Everyone is back to normal, except Crow who
is still dressed as Garcia and still plucking away at his guitar.
Gypsy
is reading "War and Peace" out loud to herself. Tom is playing solitaire.
Mike is folding tiny, little Bot clothes. Crow continues! Movie Sign is
flashed...)
Tom: Ha!!! Thank GOD!!!
Gypsy: Movie Sign?
Mike: Oh, we got Movie Sign! (Mike and other Bots scatter, but Crow keeps
playing his solo. Door sequence starts. Cut back to the counter
where Crow is still playing his guitar solo. Mike runs in...) Crow!!!
We got Movie Sign!!! (Crow ignores him and keeps playing...Mike
finally grabs Crow by the head-piece & forcibly drags him off)...
While entering the theater, Crow loses his wig...
Crow: Hey! My Jerry hair!
Next host segment, Crow is still dressed like Garcia, and still jamming the same song....
Mike: Hey, Cap'n Trips! Do you want to give it a rest?
Crow: Almost done Mikey!
