¶¶¶
2
00:00:33,034 --> 00:00:34,934
Yeah.
3
00:00:34,935 --> 00:00:36,835
Thank you for joining us for
this very special episode of
4
00:00:36,837 --> 00:00:38,971
Freaky Stories.
5
00:00:38,973 --> 00:00:41,173
Huh.
6
00:00:41,175 --> 00:00:43,008
Okay, okay, so every
episode is special.
7
00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:46,211
But tonight we have a guest
expert who will explain the
8
00:00:46,213 --> 00:00:49,181
reason for the
success of my show...
9
00:00:49,183 --> 00:00:53,252
right after our
first Freaky Story.
10
00:00:54,355 --> 00:00:56,121
Listen up. This is a true story.
11
00:00:56,123 --> 00:00:58,490
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine...
12
00:00:58,926 --> 00:01:01,326
[rapping:] Let me tell you the story of Penny Penday.
13
00:01:01,328 --> 00:01:04,129
The runty kinda kid who always runs away.
14
00:01:04,131 --> 00:01:06,398
Her mother enrolled her in PS 32.
15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,035
And from that day on the other kids tried to get her
16
00:01:10,037 --> 00:01:13,172
black and blue.
17
00:01:14,275 --> 00:01:16,025
They thought she's too skinny.
18
00:01:16,026 --> 00:01:17,776
They thought she's too lame They hated that her running
19
00:01:17,778 --> 00:01:21,447
shoes didn't carry some star's name.
20
00:01:24,251 --> 00:01:26,351
Penny tried to act real tiny.
21
00:01:26,353 --> 00:01:28,987
She tried to disappear.
22
00:01:28,989 --> 00:01:31,523
But there was this gang of real mean girls
23
00:01:31,525 --> 00:01:35,160
who liked to instill fear.
24
00:01:39,467 --> 00:01:41,500
Teresa the Terror was the leader's name.
25
00:01:41,502 --> 00:01:44,336
She wore tight jeans and her friends all did the same.
26
00:01:44,338 --> 00:01:46,805
They hounded after Penny both by day and by night.
27
00:01:46,807 --> 00:01:49,441
Tripping her and pushing her and giving her a fright.
28
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:51,844
Boys can be bad, but girls are meaner still.
29
00:01:51,846 --> 00:01:54,480
They held Pen by her ankles out the Home Ec window sill.
30
00:01:54,482 --> 00:01:55,547
They stalked her in the bathroom.
31
00:01:55,549 --> 00:01:56,982
Put her head in the sink.
32
00:01:56,984 --> 00:01:58,383
They told her that her perfume gave off
33
00:01:58,385 --> 00:02:00,135
a rancid stink.
34
00:02:00,136 --> 00:02:01,886
They were fixed. To play some tricks.
35
00:02:01,889 --> 00:02:04,990
And their make-up was on double thick.
36
00:02:04,992 --> 00:02:07,126
Penny was a baby. And I don't mean maybe.
37
00:02:07,128 --> 00:02:10,062
Her backbone it was limp-noodle lazy.
38
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:14,500
She'd cower in the playground hide behind the teach.
39
00:02:14,502 --> 00:02:17,202
Teresa'd steal her lunch box and hold it out of reach.
40
00:02:17,204 --> 00:02:18,370
They stuffed her in a locker,
41
00:02:18,372 --> 00:02:19,905
they wedged her pantyhose.
42
00:02:19,907 --> 00:02:22,307
Penny'd lie to her mom when she got home
43
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:24,543
with a bloody nose.
44
00:02:27,581 --> 00:02:29,548
Day after day, it was all the same.
45
00:02:29,550 --> 00:02:30,949
When she'd thought they'd given up,
46
00:02:30,951 --> 00:02:32,351
they'd find a brand new game.
47
00:02:32,353 --> 00:02:34,887
They'd laugh at her in science class
48
00:02:34,889 --> 00:02:37,289
and make her touch dead brains.
49
00:02:37,591 --> 00:02:40,325
They dissed her and dissed her till she thought
50
00:02:40,327 --> 00:02:44,296
she'd go insane.
51
00:02:44,999 --> 00:02:47,366
She was sad. She was mad.
52
00:02:47,368 --> 00:02:50,135
She wanted to get back at them real bad.
53
00:02:50,137 --> 00:02:51,236
She took Kwan Do.
54
00:02:51,238 --> 00:02:52,538
Let her rage go.
55
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:56,108
She'd practice 24/7 now don't you know.
56
00:02:57,578 --> 00:03:00,145
Now the city kids they don't take no yellow bus.
57
00:03:00,147 --> 00:03:02,881
They ride through the tunnel like the rest of us.
58
00:03:02,883 --> 00:03:05,017
Penny had to face Teresa every day.
59
00:03:05,019 --> 00:03:07,619
Riding the rails on the big Line A.
60
00:03:07,621 --> 00:03:10,222
T'rese and her girls would cruise through all the cars.
61
00:03:10,224 --> 00:03:12,624
Hassling passengers, ignoring safety laws.
62
00:03:12,626 --> 00:03:15,260
They wouldn't mind the gap, they held the doors ajar.
63
00:03:15,262 --> 00:03:18,063
If these femmes had been Girl Scouts,
64
00:03:18,065 --> 00:03:20,465
they'd never made it far.
65
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:25,270
They zoned in on Penny like a heat seeking missile.
66
00:03:25,272 --> 00:03:27,206
They jumped in her car after the guard'd
67
00:03:27,208 --> 00:03:28,758
blown his whistle.
68
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:30,309
Went straight up to her and faced her nose to nose.
69
00:03:30,311 --> 00:03:34,479
But I bet you can't guess how the rest of this goes.
70
00:03:35,449 --> 00:03:37,950
Teresa suddenly apologizes,
71
00:03:37,952 --> 00:03:40,452
says what she's done's not been fair.
72
00:03:40,454 --> 00:03:43,021
'Cause it just ain't right to mess with Pen
73
00:03:43,023 --> 00:03:45,424
'cause she don't like her hair.
74
00:03:45,426 --> 00:03:47,392
The guidance councilor'd got to
75
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:50,495
T'rese and something'd just sunk in.
76
00:03:50,497 --> 00:03:53,165
She was really very sorry now
77
00:03:53,167 --> 00:03:55,968
and hoped they could be friends.
78
00:03:58,472 --> 00:04:00,939
Pen was shocked. She wasn't mocked.
79
00:04:00,941 --> 00:04:03,375
That she wasn't suddenly put in a head-lock.
80
00:04:03,377 --> 00:04:04,576
Theresa seemed sincere.
81
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:06,462
Then they were there.
82
00:04:06,463 --> 00:04:08,347
Pen walked out on the platform without fear.
83
00:04:08,349 --> 00:04:10,682
But then she looked back and saw what she saw.
84
00:04:10,684 --> 00:04:12,551
Teresa hanging with her lunch box,
85
00:04:12,553 --> 00:04:13,986
a big smiling jaw.
86
00:04:13,988 --> 00:04:15,954
The box Pen'd left back on her subway seat.
87
00:04:15,956 --> 00:04:20,425
The box she'd have to get back with her Kwan Do feet.
88
00:04:21,128 --> 00:04:23,395
'Cause Terese'd stole that box so many times before
89
00:04:23,397 --> 00:04:25,998
Penny started seeing red, couldn't take it no more.
90
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,165
She would show that sandwich thief
91
00:04:27,167 --> 00:04:30,068
what a skinny runt can do,
92
00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:32,970
When she's sick of going hungry and been taught a move or two.
93
00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:36,008
She said "Hey, everybody clear the floor."
94
00:04:36,010 --> 00:04:38,977
She was tough. She was rough.
95
00:04:38,979 --> 00:04:41,146
She showed Teresa all her stuff.
96
00:04:41,148 --> 00:04:42,381
She swung her leg.
97
00:04:42,383 --> 00:04:44,767
She jumped up high.
98
00:04:44,768 --> 00:04:47,152
Teresa gave her the box 'cause she was gonna cry.
99
00:04:48,689 --> 00:04:50,022
Now you're waiting for the moral,
100
00:04:50,024 --> 00:04:51,323
seems like it turned out right.
101
00:04:51,325 --> 00:04:52,457
The bully gets her just desserts
102
00:04:52,459 --> 00:04:53,725
when Penny learned to fight.
103
00:04:53,727 --> 00:04:54,993
But this just ain't the ending.
104
00:04:54,995 --> 00:04:57,579
There's something more to go.
105
00:04:57,580 --> 00:05:00,164
There's still a freaky bit, hanging there down the road.
106
00:05:01,368 --> 00:05:03,101
So Penny went to school thinking she was
107
00:05:03,103 --> 00:05:04,736
all that stuff.
108
00:05:04,737 --> 00:05:06,370
She'd got her lunch box back which was well enough.
109
00:05:06,373 --> 00:05:08,207
She could hold her head high now.
110
00:05:08,208 --> 00:05:10,042
But grabbed a gulp of air When she opened up the box,
111
00:05:10,044 --> 00:05:12,277
saw her lunch wasn't there.
112
00:05:14,148 --> 00:05:16,381
That wasn't her ham sandwich.
113
00:05:16,383 --> 00:05:19,017
She'd packed an egg on rye.
114
00:05:19,019 --> 00:05:21,453
Then the truth started dawning like a tale gone wrong.
115
00:05:21,455 --> 00:05:24,356
This'd been Teresa's lunch box all along.
116
00:05:24,358 --> 00:05:26,525
Hers was on the counter where'd she'd left it that AM.
117
00:05:26,527 --> 00:05:30,662
In the kitchen she'd forgot it munching toast and jam.
118
00:05:31,265 --> 00:05:32,597
This is a true story.
119
00:05:32,599 --> 00:05:34,766
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
120
00:05:40,474 --> 00:05:43,275
Here he is, the
noted psychiatrist,
121
00:05:43,277 --> 00:05:46,311
Dr. Sigmund Von Maggot.
122
00:05:46,313 --> 00:05:48,580
I meet some real
crazies in my work.
123
00:05:48,582 --> 00:05:51,383
Now, tell us, Doctor, why
do you consider yourself
124
00:05:51,385 --> 00:05:53,618
an expert on television?
125
00:05:53,620 --> 00:05:56,088
Ven I Vas a
little schnitzel,
126
00:05:56,090 --> 00:05:59,224
back in Dusseldorf, I
fell into an old TV set.
127
00:05:59,226 --> 00:06:01,460
A gashtoonken bolt
of electricity
128
00:06:01,462 --> 00:06:03,295
exploded through my body.
129
00:06:03,297 --> 00:06:04,696
I got TV in my blood.
130
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:06,131
You ain't got no blood.
131
00:06:06,133 --> 00:06:08,266
Here's a Freaky Story.
132
00:06:10,371 --> 00:06:12,404
All right, this is a true story.
133
00:06:12,406 --> 00:06:14,539
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine,
134
00:06:14,541 --> 00:06:16,408
but I can't tell you his name cause,
135
00:06:16,410 --> 00:06:19,044
well you'll understand.
136
00:06:20,681 --> 00:06:23,348
You see, he was a real smart-aleck kid.
137
00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:25,484
Let me give you an example.
138
00:06:25,486 --> 00:06:27,452
One day, he swiped a waiter's jacket,
139
00:06:27,454 --> 00:06:29,621
put it on, and stood in front of this swanky,
140
00:06:29,623 --> 00:06:31,323
down town restaurant.
141
00:06:31,325 --> 00:06:33,558
Brad made like he was the parking valet.
142
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,260
Oops! Forget I said his name.
143
00:06:35,262 --> 00:06:37,562
Not aloud to do that - regulations.
144
00:06:37,564 --> 00:06:40,432
Right then, this hoity-toity rich couple pulled up in
145
00:06:40,434 --> 00:06:42,501
their fancy new convertible.
146
00:06:42,503 --> 00:06:44,636
The lady was dripping diamonds,
147
00:06:44,638 --> 00:06:47,539
and hubby was oozing big bucks.
148
00:06:47,541 --> 00:06:50,575
And you-know-who, the kid, was all smiling and making
149
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:53,378
like, good evening Sir, Ma'am.
150
00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:55,580
Then he took the car away, like as if to park it,
151
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:57,849
but the kid drove it around the corner,
152
00:06:57,851 --> 00:07:01,253
and guess what - he just kept going!
153
00:07:04,825 --> 00:07:06,725
So when the couple came back out,
154
00:07:06,727 --> 00:07:08,727
Brad, oop did it again, anyway.
155
00:07:08,729 --> 00:07:12,731
Brad was gone, and so was the fancy new car.
156
00:07:12,733 --> 00:07:15,300
The Misses was all in tears.
157
00:07:15,302 --> 00:07:17,602
You see, they'd special ordered the car to be the
158
00:07:17,604 --> 00:07:20,705
exact same colour as her favourite lipstick.
159
00:07:20,707 --> 00:07:23,775
So she could be ah, colour coordinated, right.
160
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:25,143
And the husband?
161
00:07:25,145 --> 00:07:28,113
Well, he was spewing smoke and fire,
162
00:07:28,115 --> 00:07:30,215
because even to a rich guy like him,
163
00:07:30,217 --> 00:07:33,418
a car like that is not small change.
164
00:07:34,721 --> 00:07:36,788
So they called the police and took a taxi home
165
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:38,523
from the restaurant.
166
00:07:38,525 --> 00:07:41,693
And on the way, the wife was whining about loosing her
167
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:43,462
special car.
168
00:07:43,464 --> 00:07:45,330
The husband was on his cell phone,
169
00:07:45,332 --> 00:07:47,866
waking his insurance broker to make sure he was all
170
00:07:47,868 --> 00:07:50,202
covered, and wasn't going to lose any money.
171
00:07:50,204 --> 00:07:52,437
"Money", the wife said.
172
00:07:52,439 --> 00:07:55,173
"Is that all you care about - money!
173
00:07:55,175 --> 00:07:58,910
I'll never get another car that exact same colour!",
174
00:07:58,912 --> 00:08:01,880
but the husband just said: "Change your lipstick".
175
00:08:01,882 --> 00:08:04,783
This was some deep relationship.
176
00:08:06,687 --> 00:08:08,687
Well, they were pretty upset,
177
00:08:08,689 --> 00:08:10,689
and they stayed pretty upset for a couple of days
178
00:08:10,691 --> 00:08:12,958
at least.
179
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:15,226
The wife was complaining, and running all over town
180
00:08:15,229 --> 00:08:17,662
trying out different shades of lipstick.
181
00:08:17,664 --> 00:08:20,699
The husband was grumbling, every time he squeezed into
182
00:08:20,701 --> 00:08:23,802
the little economy compact - which was all the car rental
183
00:08:23,804 --> 00:08:26,238
place had.
184
00:08:28,642 --> 00:08:31,176
But just three days later, there,
185
00:08:31,178 --> 00:08:34,346
in his driveway, plain as day - was the red
186
00:08:34,348 --> 00:08:35,747
convertible.
187
00:08:35,749 --> 00:08:38,283
And sitting in it, putting on her lipstick,
188
00:08:38,285 --> 00:08:40,418
was his wife.
189
00:08:40,420 --> 00:08:42,621
She was all smiling and happy,
190
00:08:42,623 --> 00:08:44,890
saying how she came home from the cosmetics store and
191
00:08:44,892 --> 00:08:46,825
found the car just sitting there.
192
00:08:46,827 --> 00:08:50,262
And she showed her husband a note she found in the car.
193
00:08:50,264 --> 00:08:53,198
The note, which was written as neat as Brad could make it,
194
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,668
said: "Sorry, I had to borrow the car.
195
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:58,670
There was an emergency.
196
00:08:58,672 --> 00:09:02,407
By using the car, I was able to save a life.
197
00:09:02,409 --> 00:09:04,176
Thanks."
198
00:09:04,177 --> 00:09:05,944
And with the note, there were two tickets to
199
00:09:05,946 --> 00:09:07,979
"La Boheme", which is an opera that the couple pretended
200
00:09:07,981 --> 00:09:11,750
they were kinda crazy about, because liking opera meant
201
00:09:11,752 --> 00:09:13,518
they had culture.
202
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,487
The tickets were for that very night -
203
00:09:15,489 --> 00:09:17,656
front row seats.
204
00:09:19,293 --> 00:09:20,725
You could imagine how they felt.
205
00:09:20,727 --> 00:09:22,527
The car was back without a scratch,
206
00:09:22,529 --> 00:09:25,764
they had two tickets to this high-class opera,
207
00:09:25,766 --> 00:09:27,566
and their car, according to the note,
208
00:09:27,568 --> 00:09:29,451
saved someone's life.
209
00:09:29,452 --> 00:09:31,335
Now they could brag to all their friends about how good
210
00:09:31,338 --> 00:09:34,606
and caring they were, and with culture to boot!
211
00:09:34,608 --> 00:09:37,676
Well, they got dressed to the nines -
212
00:09:37,678 --> 00:09:40,445
tux, evening gown - the works!
213
00:09:40,447 --> 00:09:45,283
They went to the opera in their fancy red convertible.
214
00:09:46,954 --> 00:09:49,721
If the story ended here, it would be one of those:
215
00:09:49,723 --> 00:09:53,391
"They lived happily ever after" stories.
216
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:54,726
Which it isn't.
217
00:09:54,728 --> 00:09:57,562
You see, after the opera, they came home,
218
00:09:57,564 --> 00:10:00,498
and to their surprise, everything in their mansion
219
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:01,967
was gone.
220
00:10:01,969 --> 00:10:03,668
I mean everything.
221
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:05,637
(SCREAMS)
222
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:07,272
Furniture, appliances,
223
00:10:07,274 --> 00:10:10,775
linens, dishes, even the burglar alarm.
224
00:10:11,311 --> 00:10:13,511
Their big, magnificent mansion,
225
00:10:13,513 --> 00:10:15,880
was a big, empty mansion.
226
00:10:15,882 --> 00:10:17,682
They would've collapsed from shock,
227
00:10:17,684 --> 00:10:20,485
but there was nothing for them to collapse on to.
228
00:10:20,487 --> 00:10:23,488
But, as upset and depressed they were,
229
00:10:23,490 --> 00:10:26,491
they had to admire the crooks ingenuity.
230
00:10:26,493 --> 00:10:28,360
These kids today.
231
00:10:28,362 --> 00:10:30,528
Who says they lack enterprise!
232
00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:32,631
This is a true story.
233
00:10:32,633 --> 00:10:35,000
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
234
00:10:35,002 --> 00:10:37,302
Yeah, his name is Brad.
235
00:10:37,304 --> 00:10:39,904
And I've got him out of the car parking and house
236
00:10:39,906 --> 00:10:41,539
robbing business.
237
00:10:41,541 --> 00:10:44,943
He's into lettuce - picking it - for the next ten to
238
00:10:44,945 --> 00:10:49,614
fifteen years, for me - the warden on the youth
239
00:10:49,616 --> 00:10:52,050
detention farm.
240
00:10:54,955 --> 00:10:57,756
Welcome back to our
interview with Dr. Sigmund
241
00:10:57,758 --> 00:10:59,057
Von Maggot.
242
00:10:59,059 --> 00:11:00,876
Danke shein.
243
00:11:00,877 --> 00:11:02,694
Now, tell us, Doctor, what
is the secret of the success
244
00:11:02,696 --> 00:11:05,030
of Freaky Stories?
245
00:11:05,032 --> 00:11:06,798
Maurice the maggot.
246
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,435
Vot a charmer, vot talent...
247
00:11:10,437 --> 00:11:13,471
Excuse me while I go
and hurl my guts out.
248
00:11:17,477 --> 00:11:18,943
This is a true story.
249
00:11:18,945 --> 00:11:21,713
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
250
00:11:21,715 --> 00:11:23,481
Joe was a travelling salesman.
251
00:11:23,483 --> 00:11:26,518
His territory covered most of the Omega Sector.
252
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,987
He used to drive around hawking what he called
253
00:11:28,989 --> 00:11:30,622
'quality merchandise'.
254
00:11:30,624 --> 00:11:32,123
Dime store stuff.
255
00:11:32,125 --> 00:11:34,426
Grav-jiggs and Time Coders.
256
00:11:34,928 --> 00:11:36,795
Business was pretty good for Joe.
257
00:11:36,797 --> 00:11:39,898
He was a sharp dresser and drove a shiny new sedan.
258
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:41,533
He liked the ladies.
259
00:11:41,535 --> 00:11:44,402
And the ladies liked him back.
260
00:11:45,872 --> 00:11:48,073
One night, he finished his last call at my shop and was
261
00:11:48,075 --> 00:11:51,009
looking for a motel.
262
00:11:53,513 --> 00:11:57,115
The rain was coming down in buckets and as far as Joe
263
00:11:57,117 --> 00:12:00,018
was concerned, any flea-bag-joint-in-a-storm
264
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:02,487
would do.
265
00:12:03,957 --> 00:12:05,824
Joe was hunched over the steering wheel,
266
00:12:05,826 --> 00:12:07,692
peering out as his windshield wipers waged a
267
00:12:07,694 --> 00:12:11,396
pitched battle with the unrelenting sheets of rain.
268
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:17,068
It wasn't a night fit for man nor 'bot.
269
00:12:18,739 --> 00:12:20,772
That's when he saw her.
270
00:12:20,773 --> 00:12:22,806
She was walking along the gravel at the side of the road.
271
00:12:22,809 --> 00:12:25,910
Drenched to the bone and making a futile effort
272
00:12:25,912 --> 00:12:27,712
to protect herself from the weather.
273
00:12:27,714 --> 00:12:29,331
Against his better judgement,
274
00:12:29,332 --> 00:12:30,949
Joe pulled up along side of her.
275
00:12:30,951 --> 00:12:32,817
He studded the window open.
276
00:12:32,819 --> 00:12:35,019
"Are you alright, Miss?"
277
00:12:37,124 --> 00:12:38,890
The girl kept walking.
278
00:12:38,892 --> 00:12:41,626
Couldn't hear him above the beating rain.
279
00:12:43,830 --> 00:12:47,732
Joe stopped the car and got out.
280
00:12:47,734 --> 00:12:52,637
"It's a long way to the next town, Miss.
281
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,939
The girl stopped, then turned to face him.
282
00:12:54,941 --> 00:12:56,474
She was young.
283
00:12:56,475 --> 00:12:58,008
Couldn't have been more than sixteen.
284
00:12:58,712 --> 00:13:01,112
Wearing a light summer frock and sandals.
285
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:02,547
No umbrella.
286
00:13:02,549 --> 00:13:03,782
No rain coat.
287
00:13:03,784 --> 00:13:05,083
Kids. Hrmmp!
288
00:13:05,085 --> 00:13:07,752
Out on a night like this.
289
00:13:07,754 --> 00:13:09,621
The girl climbed into the back of Joe's sedan.
290
00:13:14,561 --> 00:13:15,860
As he started the thrum- motors,
291
00:13:15,862 --> 00:13:18,129
Joe glanced in the rearview mirror.
292
00:13:18,131 --> 00:13:20,165
He could see that she was shivering.
293
00:13:20,167 --> 00:13:22,634
Joe took off his overcoat and passed it to her.
294
00:13:22,636 --> 00:13:24,502
"Here. You'd better wear this.
295
00:13:24,504 --> 00:13:27,138
It'll keep you warm 'til you get home."
296
00:13:31,011 --> 00:13:33,011
She slipped into the coat, said "Thanks"
297
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:35,146
and sat staring out into the rain.
298
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:37,649
"Where can I drop you?" asked Joe.
299
00:13:37,651 --> 00:13:39,751
"437 Hope Street," she replied.
300
00:13:39,753 --> 00:13:42,187
"In Ridgemount, the next town up the road."
301
00:13:42,189 --> 00:13:43,521
"A name?"
302
00:13:43,523 --> 00:13:44,956
She said, "It's Mina."
303
00:13:45,659 --> 00:13:47,792
"Unusual."
304
00:13:47,794 --> 00:13:49,561
"Yup, unusual."
305
00:13:49,563 --> 00:13:51,029
She wasn't much of a talker.
306
00:13:51,031 --> 00:13:54,165
Different than any teenager he'd ever met.
307
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:57,936
So Joe gave up and drove on through the teeming downpour.
308
00:13:57,938 --> 00:13:59,270
He crested a hill, and there ahead,
309
00:13:59,272 --> 00:14:01,806
lay the thriving metropolis of Ridgemount.
310
00:14:01,808 --> 00:14:04,209
Population: 600.
311
00:14:04,211 --> 00:14:07,011
"Thar she blows," Joe said, in one last attempt at
312
00:14:07,013 --> 00:14:08,680
conversation.
313
00:14:08,682 --> 00:14:10,715
But when he turned around to see if Mina was laughing,
314
00:14:10,717 --> 00:14:12,650
she wasn't.
315
00:14:12,652 --> 00:14:14,252
She was gone.
316
00:14:14,254 --> 00:14:16,087
And so was Joe's coat.
317
00:14:16,089 --> 00:14:17,956
How could that be?
318
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:19,757
He hadn't stopped once, the whole while
319
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:21,926
she was in the car.
320
00:14:23,663 --> 00:14:27,031
The puzzlement of it all made Joe's head spin.
321
00:14:28,802 --> 00:14:32,170
He found 437 Hope Street without any trouble.
322
00:14:32,572 --> 00:14:34,706
It was quite the bungalow.
323
00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:37,141
He went to the door and rang the bell.
324
00:14:38,245 --> 00:14:40,845
The door slowly swung open.
325
00:14:40,847 --> 00:14:42,680
He was wearing a tuxedo.
326
00:14:42,682 --> 00:14:44,682
All seven-foot eight of him.
327
00:14:44,684 --> 00:14:46,251
It was an old Mark-3.
328
00:14:46,253 --> 00:14:48,052
A robot butler.
329
00:14:48,054 --> 00:14:50,655
Joe hadn't seen one of those since the radiation scares,
330
00:14:50,657 --> 00:14:52,123
back in the '80's.
331
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:53,224
"There was a girl in the road.
332
00:14:53,226 --> 00:14:54,692
I gave her a lift.
333
00:14:54,694 --> 00:14:56,060
She wanted to come here..."
334
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:57,795
"One moment please."
335
00:14:57,797 --> 00:14:59,931
Said the robot as he turned and left.
336
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,634
He went into the back room and emerged saying,
337
00:15:02,636 --> 00:15:04,702
"Follow me."
338
00:15:04,704 --> 00:15:06,905
And he led Joe up some stairs to a room with little
339
00:15:06,907 --> 00:15:08,973
light, lots of cobwebs and the smell of
340
00:15:08,975 --> 00:15:12,243
aging...EVERYTHING.
341
00:15:12,646 --> 00:15:14,045
And there was this ancient crone,
342
00:15:14,047 --> 00:15:16,214
in just enough light to tell she was a least
343
00:15:16,216 --> 00:15:17,715
one century old.
344
00:15:17,717 --> 00:15:19,651
"Thank-you for the ride."
345
00:15:19,653 --> 00:15:20,785
"What's going on?
346
00:15:20,787 --> 00:15:22,086
I gave a ride to a young girl,
347
00:15:22,088 --> 00:15:23,988
but when I turned around, she was gone."
348
00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:25,890
The old woman smiled and said,
349
00:15:25,892 --> 00:15:28,927
"Gone is such a final word."
350
00:15:28,929 --> 00:15:30,194
"But..." Joe began, but never finished.
351
00:15:32,832 --> 00:15:34,599
The old woman smiled.
352
00:15:34,601 --> 00:15:36,167
"Some of us never go."
353
00:15:36,169 --> 00:15:37,635
When she handed back his coat,
354
00:15:37,637 --> 00:15:39,203
he looked deep into her eyes.
355
00:15:39,205 --> 00:15:43,274
Behind the wrinkles, Joe saw the two bright eyes of a teenager.
356
00:15:44,911 --> 00:15:46,377
This was a true story.
357
00:15:46,379 --> 00:15:48,346
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine...
358
00:15:48,348 --> 00:15:50,265
Joe.
359
00:15:50,266 --> 00:15:52,183
As for hitchhikers, he makes it a practice to only pick
360
00:15:52,185 --> 00:15:55,920
up stray dogs, robots and senior citizens.
361
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,060
Doctor, here's
the big question.
362
00:16:02,062 --> 00:16:04,329
What makes Freaky
Stories such an exciting,
363
00:16:04,331 --> 00:16:07,899
vibrant, up-lifting,
invigorating show?
364
00:16:07,901 --> 00:16:10,335
[snoring]
365
00:16:10,337 --> 00:16:13,404
Well, it ain't the
sparkling interviews.
366
00:16:13,406 --> 00:16:15,406
Must be the stories.
367
00:16:18,678 --> 00:16:20,111
This is a true story.
368
00:16:20,113 --> 00:16:22,880
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
369
00:16:23,283 --> 00:16:25,950
Clinton Vance was a guy I went to school with.
370
00:16:25,952 --> 00:16:29,087
He was always a bit of a scaredy-cat.
371
00:16:30,223 --> 00:16:32,390
So when he decided to take a summer job at the
372
00:16:32,392 --> 00:16:36,995
"Sunset Palms" old age home, I couldn't believe it.
373
00:16:36,997 --> 00:16:39,130
It was Clinton's first day on the job and head nurse
374
00:16:39,132 --> 00:16:42,834
Laidlaw assigned him to Mr. Seery for the day.
375
00:16:42,836 --> 00:16:45,336
"This is Mr. Seery's banking day.
376
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:48,940
Take him downtown Clint.", she barked.
377
00:16:53,947 --> 00:16:56,214
On the way to the bank, Clinton stopped to get
378
00:16:56,216 --> 00:16:59,083
himself a soda pop and Mr. Seery another packet of
379
00:16:59,085 --> 00:17:01,052
personal hankies.
380
00:17:01,054 --> 00:17:03,221
He couldn't have been gone more than five minutes.
381
00:17:03,223 --> 00:17:07,191
But they say that five minutes is all it takes.
382
00:17:11,197 --> 00:17:13,197
He handed Mr. Seery his tissues.
383
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:16,334
The old guy didn't even say thank-you.
384
00:17:17,904 --> 00:17:20,271
In fact he didn't say a single word on the whole
385
00:17:20,273 --> 00:17:22,440
trip to the bank.
386
00:17:22,442 --> 00:17:24,842
Clinton just figured he was like moody.
387
00:17:24,844 --> 00:17:27,311
That is until he brought the Sunset Palms station wagon
388
00:17:27,313 --> 00:17:30,915
to a stop in front of the bank and Mr. Seery plopped
389
00:17:30,917 --> 00:17:32,884
over into his lap.
390
00:17:32,886 --> 00:17:35,386
Clinton panicked assuming that he'd lose the job of a
391
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:39,190
lifetime if anyone knew that someone like died while he
392
00:17:39,192 --> 00:17:42,460
was supposed to be looking after them.
393
00:17:45,932 --> 00:17:48,132
Clinton decided to complete Mr. Seery's business
394
00:17:48,134 --> 00:17:51,402
downtown, sneak him back into the Sunset Palms,
395
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:54,038
and straight into his own bed where it would be
396
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,074
discovered that the poor old gent
397
00:17:56,076 --> 00:17:58,076
passed away in his sleep.
398
00:17:58,078 --> 00:18:00,244
Poor nervous Clinton shivered worse than he did
399
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:02,513
in biology class when he reached into Mr. Seery's
400
00:18:02,515 --> 00:18:05,049
breast pocket to pull out his bankbook
401
00:18:05,051 --> 00:18:06,784
and deposit slip.
402
00:18:06,786 --> 00:18:12,090
After fumbling through several used hankies
403
00:18:12,092 --> 00:18:16,828
he managed to shake it off and run into the bank.
404
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:22,834
Inside the bank, Clinton made the deposit,
405
00:18:23,403 --> 00:18:25,970
but before he could run out the clerk saw that there was
406
00:18:25,972 --> 00:18:29,040
a message on Mr. Seery's file.
407
00:18:30,110 --> 00:18:32,343
They needed to head up to the Bank manager's office
408
00:18:32,345 --> 00:18:34,245
to sign some papers.
409
00:18:35,882 --> 00:18:38,382
Poor Clinton went outside and hauled Mr. Seery out of
410
00:18:38,384 --> 00:18:42,153
the wagon and headed up the elevator to the 13th floor
411
00:18:42,155 --> 00:18:44,489
to meet with the manager.
412
00:18:45,158 --> 00:18:47,325
The security guard recognized old Mr. Seery
413
00:18:47,327 --> 00:18:48,926
and gave him a wave.
414
00:18:48,928 --> 00:18:52,096
Clinton 'waved' Mr. Seery's arm back at him.
415
00:18:55,001 --> 00:18:58,536
Finally, they got up to the 13th floor.
416
00:18:58,538 --> 00:19:03,040
The bank manager greeted them grandly
417
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:07,812
but also wondered if Mr. Seery was OK.
418
00:19:07,814 --> 00:19:10,915
Clinton explained that Mr. Seery was just really,
419
00:19:10,917 --> 00:19:13,050
REALLY tired.
420
00:19:13,052 --> 00:19:15,253
When the Bank Manager slid the papers he needed signed
421
00:19:15,255 --> 00:19:17,855
across the desk, Clinton quickly pointed out the
422
00:19:17,857 --> 00:19:20,858
window screaming that Donald Stump's helicopter
423
00:19:20,860 --> 00:19:22,426
was soaring by.
424
00:19:22,428 --> 00:19:24,295
As soon as the manager turned his back,
425
00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:26,531
Clinton signed the papers.
426
00:19:29,469 --> 00:19:33,171
Clinton and Mr. Seery got back to the elevators only
427
00:19:33,173 --> 00:19:35,973
to find an 'out of order' sign.
428
00:19:36,442 --> 00:19:38,943
Thirteen flights is quite a bit for Clinton
429
00:19:38,945 --> 00:19:40,511
even on his own.
430
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:43,447
Surprisingly, he did just fine wrestling the limp
431
00:19:43,449 --> 00:19:48,152
Mr. Seery down the flights... well, two of them anyway...
432
00:19:48,154 --> 00:19:51,222
unfortunately Mr. Seery found his own way down
433
00:19:51,224 --> 00:19:54,292
the remaining eleven stories.
434
00:19:54,627 --> 00:19:56,594
Finally, Clinton got him into the car
435
00:19:56,596 --> 00:19:59,430
in one piece and back to Sunset Palms.
436
00:19:59,432 --> 00:20:01,749
After tucking him into his bed,
437
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:04,067
Clinton dusted himself off, regained his composure
438
00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:07,171
and RAN to Nurse Laidlaw's station.
439
00:20:07,173 --> 00:20:09,307
"Come quick! Mr. Seery is...
440
00:20:09,309 --> 00:20:11,909
is... well you know...
441
00:20:11,911 --> 00:20:14,879
he's ceased to be!!" he yelled.
442
00:20:15,248 --> 00:20:17,982
Nurse Laidlaw ran into Mr. Seery's room to find the
443
00:20:17,984 --> 00:20:20,384
corpse but when they whipped the door open,
444
00:20:20,386 --> 00:20:23,554
there was Mr. Seery sitting upright!
445
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:26,290
Poor Clinton stammered about being positive
446
00:20:26,292 --> 00:20:28,459
Mr. Seery was deceased.
447
00:20:28,460 --> 00:20:30,627
Then nurse Laidlaw explained Mr. Seery suffers from
448
00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:33,197
narcolepsy.
449
00:20:33,199 --> 00:20:37,001
He falls into a deeeeep sleep when you least expect it.
450
00:20:37,403 --> 00:20:39,570
The nurse and the interns laughed.
451
00:20:39,572 --> 00:20:42,006
Old Mr. Seery wasn't laughing though.
452
00:20:42,008 --> 00:20:44,175
Aside from wondering why his head hurt,
453
00:20:44,177 --> 00:20:47,545
he was his old self, calling for his jelly dessert,
454
00:20:47,547 --> 00:20:49,580
and a bedpan!
455
00:20:49,582 --> 00:20:51,783
This is a true story.
456
00:20:51,784 --> 00:20:53,985
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine,
457
00:20:53,987 --> 00:20:56,053
who decided to get a different job.
458
00:20:56,055 --> 00:20:57,121
Like at a mortuary.
459
00:21:04,330 --> 00:21:06,497
Our first letter is from a
viewer who wants to know if
460
00:21:06,499 --> 00:21:08,065
we ever did an infomercial.
461
00:21:08,067 --> 00:21:10,334
Hey, Charlie, run the clip.
462
00:21:11,204 --> 00:21:13,104
For only
fourteen ninety-five,
463
00:21:13,106 --> 00:21:15,172
plus shipping and handling,
you can have "Glorp",
464
00:21:15,174 --> 00:21:17,308
the new,
improved youth cream.
465
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:19,610
The secret
ingredient in "Glorp" is...
466
00:21:19,612 --> 00:21:21,078
Grease trap drippings.
467
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,446
Does it work, you ask?
468
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:24,248
Well, here's living proof.
469
00:21:24,250 --> 00:21:26,717
This is Maurice
after using "Glorp".
470
00:21:26,719 --> 00:21:28,586
And here's Maurice before.
471
00:21:29,022 --> 00:21:31,188
If you don't want
to look like this...
472
00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:34,225
smear on some "Glorp" and
you can look like this.
473
00:21:38,698 --> 00:21:42,500
The infomercial wasn't
what you'd call a big hit.
474
00:21:42,502 --> 00:21:45,236
The cops shut us
down, for fraud.
475
00:21:45,238 --> 00:21:48,506
You see, the "Before" picture
wasn't really Maurice.
476
00:21:48,508 --> 00:21:51,175
It's hard to find a
maggot uglier than Maurice.
477
00:21:51,177 --> 00:21:52,543
We were shot this
picture of Maurice's
478
00:21:52,545 --> 00:21:53,744
great Uncle Filbert.
479
00:21:53,746 --> 00:21:56,681
two weeks after
Filbert died.
480
00:21:57,617 --> 00:21:59,350
He's still better
lookin' than Maurice.
481
00:22:00,486 --> 00:22:02,620
