But... there is,

5
00:00:34,181 --> 00:00:38,719
unseen by most, an underworld.

6
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:42,389
A place that is just as real

7
00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:46,493
but not as brightly lit.

8
00:00:46,493 --> 00:00:49,257
A dark side.

10
00:01:13,653 --> 00:01:15,021

to slather all over
your buttocks

18
00:01:33,173 --> 00:01:35,609
and squish between
your fat toes?

19
00:01:35,609 --> 00:01:38,278
You want to look like
a walking cream puff?

20
00:01:38,278 --> 00:01:40,580
A walking, talking lard bucket

21
00:01:40,580 --> 00:01:43,116
oozing down the street, Fobsie?

00:02:03,703 --> 00:02:08,675
Okay, snookums, it's food time.

27
00:02:08,675 --> 00:02:11,166
Open your pores.

28
00:02:12,179 --> 00:02:14,781
Open wide!

29
00:02:14,781 --> 00:02:17,751
Num, num, num, num, num, num!

lt's an old dress.

105
00:06:29,502 --> 00:06:31,938
Just a little tight...

106
00:06:31,938 --> 00:06:34,808
here and here.

107
00:06:34,808 --> 00:06:36,643

Oh, who am l trying to kid?

114
00:06:51,458 --> 00:06:54,594
Maybe this wasn't such
a great idea.

115
00:06:54,594 --> 00:06:58,398
Maybe he won't show up.

116
00:06:58,398 --> 00:07:00,266

136
00:07:49,115 --> 00:07:50,183
BETSY:
Yeah.

137
00:07:50,183 --> 00:07:54,449
Well, you look different.

138
00:08:02,996 --> 00:08:04,297
Are you hungry?

139

(traditional Mexican
music plays)

140
00:08:11,371 --> 00:08:13,206
l know it's a lot of food.

141
00:08:13,206 --> 00:08:16,609
Believe me, l've tried
everything l can to lose weight.

142
00:08:16,609 --> 00:08:18,945
l've-l've done the water diet,

143
00:08:18,945 --> 00:08:22,182
the tea diet, the juice diet.
the no-diet diet.

144
00:08:22,182 --> 00:08:24,751
l even had my earlobes stapled.

145
00:08:24,751 --> 00:08:25,785
Didn't work.

146
00:08:25,785 --> 00:08:26,786
(weak laugh)

147
00:08:26,786 --> 00:08:29,088
Oh, l've wrapped myself
in cellophane,

148
00:08:29,088 --> 00:08:32,759
l wore weight belts, fat pants,
even suction pants.

149
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:34,093
Suction pants?

150
00:08:34,093 --> 00:08:37,130
Mm, pants connected to a vacuum

151
00:08:37,130 --> 00:08:39,399
that's supposed to suck off
the pounds.

152
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:40,733
lt doesn't work.

153
00:08:40,733 --> 00:08:42,735
l looked into the liposuction
operation

154
00:08:42,735 --> 00:08:45,505
where they really open you up
and take out the fat,

155
00:08:45,505 --> 00:08:47,407
but that's too expensive.

156
00:08:47,407 --> 00:08:49,509
(watch beeping)

157
00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:51,778
Oh, uh, excuse me.

Oh, it's okay.

Betsy?

175
00:10:25,638 --> 00:10:27,407
ELMO:

No, you can just leave.

184
00:10:43,790 --> 00:10:45,258
l've ruined your night.

185
00:10:45,258 --> 00:10:48,361
Uh, someone left this
at your back door.

186
00:10:48,361 --> 00:10:49,529
What is it?

187
00:10:49,529 --> 00:10:50,730
l don't know.

188
00:10:50,730 --> 00:10:53,700
lt says it's from
''Your weight is over.''

189
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:55,268
No.

190
00:10:55,268 --> 00:10:57,904
l'll, uh, open it.

191
00:10:57,904 --> 00:10:59,072
BETSY:
Good-bye.

192
00:10:59,072 --> 00:11:02,633
Betsy... could l say something?

193
00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:08,337
You were the prettiest
girl in our class.

194
00:11:15,388 --> 00:11:17,090
(door shuts)

195
00:11:17,090 --> 00:11:20,651
l'm not the most
beautiful girl anymore.

196
00:11:32,839 --> 00:11:34,640
Glasses.

197
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,677
''Guaranteed weight loss
with regular use.''

198
00:11:37,677 --> 00:11:39,736
(laughing)

199
00:11:44,050 --> 00:11:45,381
Guaranteed.

200
00:11:46,386 --> 00:11:47,944
(multiple voices):
Please don't...!

201
00:11:53,092 --> 00:11:55,461
Please don't eat us!

202
00:11:55,461 --> 00:11:59,522
Please don't eat us!
Please don't eat us!

203
00:12:04,437 --> 00:12:08,007
ALL: Please don't eat us!
Don't eat us!

204
00:12:08,007 --> 00:12:09,497
-No!
-Aah!

205
00:12:13,312 --> 00:12:15,615
FEMALE VOlCE: l implore you
to stay your hand.

206
00:12:15,615 --> 00:12:17,350
MALE VOlCE:
Yeah, she's right, lady.

207
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:19,852
Give us a break here, huh?

208
00:12:19,852 --> 00:12:21,554
MALE VOlCE 2:
We've done you no harm.

209
00:12:21,554 --> 00:12:23,656
Why abuse us so?

210
00:12:23,656 --> 00:12:26,859
What's the matter, lady,
cat got your tongue?

211
00:12:26,859 --> 00:12:28,428
Cat got my tongue?

212
00:12:28,428 --> 00:12:31,364
Hey, lady, whoa!
Just a simple question here.

213
00:12:31,364 --> 00:12:34,333
No. No!

214
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:36,669
lt's not a simple question
when a banana asks it.

215
00:12:36,669 --> 00:12:38,571
lt's not a simple question
at all.

216
00:12:38,571 --> 00:12:40,973
Hey, you got a problem
with bananas, lady?

217
00:12:40,973 --> 00:12:43,042
Yes.

218
00:12:43,042 --> 00:12:45,878
Yes, with talking bananas,
yes, l do.

219
00:12:45,878 --> 00:12:48,081
Now, honey child, calm yourself.

220
00:12:48,081 --> 00:12:50,183
No need to get upset.

221
00:12:50,183 --> 00:12:53,386
Oh, this has got to be
some kind of, uh...

222
00:12:53,386 --> 00:12:56,956
l don't know, drug or dream.

223
00:12:56,956 --> 00:13:00,193
There are no chemicals
or psychoses involved here.

224
00:13:00,193 --> 00:13:01,627
Like yourself,

225
00:13:01,627 --> 00:13:04,697
we are living,
thinking entities.

226
00:13:04,697 --> 00:13:06,432
But people can't talk
to fruits.

227
00:13:06,432 --> 00:13:08,101
Your name Betsy?

228
00:13:08,101 --> 00:13:09,602
How did you know?

229
00:13:09,602 --> 00:13:12,271
BANANA: Your bald buddy
mentioned it about ten times.

230
00:13:12,271 --> 00:13:14,040
What do you think,
we can't hear?

231
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,174
l can't believe this.

232
00:13:15,174 --> 00:13:17,276
You're not real.

233
00:13:17,276 --> 00:13:19,479
Are you going to let us live,

234
00:13:19,479 --> 00:13:21,414
or are you gonna nibble
and gnaw at us

235
00:13:21,414 --> 00:13:24,383
till we turn spotty brown
and die of exposure?

236
00:13:24,383 --> 00:13:27,620
Well, uh... is that painful?

237
00:13:27,620 --> 00:13:28,721
Painful?!

238
00:13:28,721 --> 00:13:31,324
Let me peel your skin
off, lady, huh?

239
00:13:31,324 --> 00:13:33,326
Humiliating, too.

240
00:13:33,326 --> 00:13:36,729
Left alone with no friends,
no one to talk to.

241
00:13:36,729 --> 00:13:39,398
You know how awful
that is, Betsy.

242
00:13:39,398 --> 00:13:41,100
Oh, l know how, l...

243
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:43,002
We girls have to stick together.

244
00:13:43,002 --> 00:13:46,672
(laughing)

245
00:13:46,672 --> 00:13:48,731
l must be dreaming...
(laughing)

246
00:13:51,244 --> 00:13:54,042
lt's been a long day.

247
00:13:56,282 --> 00:13:59,251
(fruit trio
humming ''Brahms' Lullaby'')

248
00:14:13,966 --> 00:14:15,957
(lullaby fading)

249
00:14:19,438 --> 00:14:22,202
ALL:
Good morning, Betsy.

250
00:14:27,413 --> 00:14:29,115
You aren't dreaming, Betsy.

251
00:14:29,115 --> 00:14:30,816
We are very real.

252
00:14:30,816 --> 00:14:33,386
l'm hungry.

253
00:14:33,386 --> 00:14:35,021
(all gasping)

254
00:14:35,021 --> 00:14:38,650
l'll-l'll see what's in
the refrigerator.

255
00:14:44,564 --> 00:14:46,799
(whimpering)

256
00:14:46,799 --> 00:14:48,367
Oh, no, it's all right.

257
00:14:48,367 --> 00:14:50,102
Try to relax.

258
00:14:50,102 --> 00:14:53,506
GRUFF MALE VOlCE:
Yo, looking for trouble, lady?

259
00:14:53,506 --> 00:14:55,041
Uh, no.

260
00:14:55,041 --> 00:14:58,511
That's good, 'cause l could
give you a lot of trouble.

261
00:14:58,511 --> 00:14:59,312
You could?

262
00:14:59,312 --> 00:15:02,042
lndigestion for days.

263
00:15:06,652 --> 00:15:09,519
l've got to eat something.

264
00:15:11,390 --> 00:15:12,391
(gelatin whimpering)

265
00:15:12,391 --> 00:15:14,859
ROAST: Hey, you, can't
a guy have any privacy?

266
00:15:19,832 --> 00:15:22,468
l'm very hungry.

267
00:15:22,468 --> 00:15:24,670
(stomach rumbling)

268
00:15:24,670 --> 00:15:27,173
Wouldn't you like
banana soufflé?

269
00:15:27,173 --> 00:15:29,742
Think about pears--
chocolate-covered pears.

270
00:15:29,742 --> 00:15:31,410
How about some apple strudel?

271
00:15:31,410 --> 00:15:32,778
Banana flambé.

272
00:15:32,778 --> 00:15:35,781
Noodles, a crisp apple flan,
apple tart.

273
00:15:35,781 --> 00:15:37,750
Ginger pears, pickled pears,

274
00:15:37,750 --> 00:15:40,519
spiced, diced pear pie!

275
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:41,554
(chuckles)

276
00:15:41,554 --> 00:15:43,723
You're very cute.

277
00:15:43,723 --> 00:15:45,124
l couldn't eat any of you.

278
00:15:45,124 --> 00:15:46,826
lt'd be like
cold-blooded murder.

279
00:15:46,826 --> 00:15:48,817
(phone ringing)

280
00:15:52,431 --> 00:15:53,833
Hello?

281
00:15:53,833 --> 00:15:55,801
Betsy? lt's Elmo.

282
00:15:55,801 --> 00:15:57,436
Elmo?

283
00:15:57,436 --> 00:15:59,672
Listen, Betsy, l thought maybe
we could try

284
00:15:59,672 --> 00:16:01,974
to have dinner together again.

285
00:16:01,974 --> 00:16:03,376
How about your place?

286
00:16:03,376 --> 00:16:04,810
Dinner? Here?

287
00:16:04,810 --> 00:16:06,612
-(whimpering)
-l bet you're a great cook.

288
00:16:06,612 --> 00:16:08,281
My favorite's apple pie.

289
00:16:08,281 --> 00:16:11,884
BETSY:
No, no, l... l can't.

290
00:16:11,884 --> 00:16:14,020
l ca... l can't eat here.

291
00:16:14,020 --> 00:16:17,156
Okay, we'll... we'll go out.

292
00:16:17,156 --> 00:16:19,458
Elmo, you don't have
to just for old-times sake.

293
00:16:19,458 --> 00:16:21,894
8:00. See you then.

294
00:16:21,894 --> 00:16:23,828
(click, dial tone)

295
00:16:26,165 --> 00:16:27,860
(stomach gurgling)

296
00:16:31,504 --> 00:16:33,062
(all whimpering)

297
00:16:42,081 --> 00:16:44,483
You ever think about
getting old, Betsy?

298
00:16:44,483 --> 00:16:46,118
Sometimes.

299
00:16:46,118 --> 00:16:49,455
Your flesh gets soft, age spots,
you get wrinkled,

300
00:16:49,455 --> 00:16:51,223
you start to smell.

301
00:16:51,223 --> 00:16:53,259
l don't think
l want to think about it.

302
00:16:53,259 --> 00:16:55,294
lt's not a pretty thought.

303
00:16:55,294 --> 00:16:58,164
Maybe old age isn't all
it's cracked up to be.

304
00:16:58,164 --> 00:17:00,866
Maybe it's better to be
demolished and digested

305
00:17:00,866 --> 00:17:06,205
while l'm still young and sweet
and succulent and... gorgeous.

306
00:17:06,205 --> 00:17:11,711
You do look young
and sweet and succulent

307
00:17:11,711 --> 00:17:16,549
and tasty, juicy, edible...

308
00:17:16,549 --> 00:17:18,915
Lady, control yourself, here!

309
00:17:19,552 --> 00:17:22,121
Oh, my God.

310
00:17:22,121 --> 00:17:24,056
What was l doing?

311
00:17:24,056 --> 00:17:25,591
Oh, l'm sorry.

312
00:17:25,591 --> 00:17:26,959
l'm sorry, pear.

313
00:17:26,959 --> 00:17:29,095
l don't want to hurt you.

314
00:17:29,095 --> 00:17:32,565
l'm just light-headed, and
l don't know what l'm doing.

315
00:17:32,565 --> 00:17:35,500
And my stomach is screaming
for food.

316
00:17:37,136 --> 00:17:38,537
(knocking)

317
00:17:38,537 --> 00:17:40,806
Betsy, it's Elmo.

318
00:17:40,806 --> 00:17:43,309
(gasps)
Don't let him in, Betsy.

319
00:17:43,309 --> 00:17:45,344
You never know what he might do.

320
00:17:45,344 --> 00:17:47,680
The stupid jerk might
try and eat us.

321
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,215
ELMO:
Are you ready, Betsy?

322
00:17:49,215 --> 00:17:52,051
l'm so hungry l could
eat a horse.

323
00:17:52,051 --> 00:17:54,053
Pretend you're not here.

324
00:17:54,053 --> 00:17:55,721
(knocking)

325
00:17:55,721 --> 00:17:58,357
Betsy, are you in there?

326
00:17:58,357 --> 00:18:01,727
(footsteps departing)

327
00:18:01,727 --> 00:18:03,662
APPLE:
Commendable, Betsy.

328
00:18:03,662 --> 00:18:04,964
Thank you.

329
00:18:04,964 --> 00:18:07,566
l could almost feel
his teeth on my core.

330
00:18:07,566 --> 00:18:11,036
(phone ringing)

331
00:18:11,036 --> 00:18:13,839
(gasps)
lt's him, l know it.

332
00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:15,808
He's calling from the corner.

333
00:18:15,808 --> 00:18:18,276
Don't answer, Betsy, please.

334
00:18:21,447 --> 00:18:22,812
(clatters)

335
00:18:25,017 --> 00:18:26,685
(laughing)

336
00:18:26,685 --> 00:18:28,854
Hello, snookums.

337
00:18:28,854 --> 00:18:30,723
Mama's gonna feed you now.

338
00:18:30,723 --> 00:18:32,758
Doesn't that taste good?

339
00:18:32,758 --> 00:18:35,488
Mama wants to eat,
too, but Mama can't.

340
00:18:39,031 --> 00:18:41,700
(sobbing):
l'm so hungry.

341
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:43,569
We're your friends.

342
00:18:43,569 --> 00:18:45,304
Talk to us, Betsy.

343
00:18:45,304 --> 00:18:46,772
That's what we're here for.

344
00:18:46,772 --> 00:18:49,375
That's not what you're here for.

345
00:18:49,375 --> 00:18:51,143
You're food.

346
00:18:51,143 --> 00:18:53,579
You're here to be eaten,

347
00:18:53,579 --> 00:18:56,115
so that l can live,
so that l can feel good.

348
00:18:56,115 --> 00:18:58,584
You're here for me to eat.

349
00:18:58,584 --> 00:19:01,987
She's losing it.
lt's nutso time.

350
00:19:01,987 --> 00:19:03,789
Oh, for years,

351
00:19:03,789 --> 00:19:07,426
l tried everything
l could think of to lose weight.

352
00:19:07,426 --> 00:19:10,296
l have tried
every trick in the book.

353
00:19:10,296 --> 00:19:12,398
None of them worked.

354
00:19:12,398 --> 00:19:14,834
That's what you are.

355
00:19:14,834 --> 00:19:16,769
You're a gimmick.

356
00:19:16,769 --> 00:19:18,504
You're a trick,
so that l won't eat.

357
00:19:18,504 --> 00:19:21,473
Just a pair of trick glasses
and a trick hearing aid.

358
00:19:23,509 --> 00:19:26,145
lt won't come off.

359
00:19:26,145 --> 00:19:27,847
Oh, my God.

360
00:19:27,847 --> 00:19:31,044
This is our Waterloo.

361
00:19:32,117 --> 00:19:34,420
