  • [as Lardass walks across the stage to his seat the Benevolent Order of Antelopes mock him in rhythm with his steps]

    [Now he speaks to the crowd]

    Mayor Grundy: Alright, are you ready? Hands behind your backs, gentlemen! Drum roll!

    Donelley TwinDonelley Twin: Hey, Lardass! Chow down, Wide Load!

    Mayor Grundy: Heh-heh-heh... GO!

    [the contestants bury their faces and begin eating. Within a few seconds, Lardass has finished his first pie]

    Lardass Hogan: Done!

    [Lardass finishes his second pie]

    Lardass Hogan: Done!

    [Bill Travis finishes his first pie]

    Bill Travis: Done!

    Lardass Hogan: [Lardass finishes his third pie] Done!

    Mayor Grundy: [to Lardass] You better pace yourself if you wanna hold out, boy.

    [Lardass continues and the crowd starts to cheer him on]

    Crowd: Lardass! Lardass!

    Gordie: What the audience didn't know was that Lardass wasn't really interested in winning. What he wanted was revenge, and right before he was introduced he'd gotten ready for it.

    [Cut to flashback scene showing Lardass drinking a quart bottle of Castor Oil and eating a raw egg just before the start of the contest; cut back to the contest in progress]

    Gordie: Diving into his fifth pie, Lardass began to imagine that he wasn't eating pies. He pretended he was eating cow-plops, and rat guts in blueberry sauce.

    Crowd: Lardass! Lardass!

    Lardass Hogan: Done!

    [Lardass prepares to dive into his sixth pie, but then his stomach starts rumbling]

    Gordie: Slowly, a sound started to build in Lardass' stomach. A strange and scary sound, like a log truck coming at you at a hundred miles-an-hour. Suddenly, Lardass opened his mouth, and before Bill Travis knew it...

    [Lardass barfs all over Bill]

    Gordie: ... he was covered with five pies worth of used blueberries. The women in the audience screamed. Bossman Bob Cormier took one look at Bill Travis and barfed on Principal Wiggins, who barfed on the lumberjack that was sitting next to him. Mayor Grundy barfed on his wife's tits. But when the smell hit the crowd, that's when Lardass' plan really started to work. Girlfriends barfed on boyfriends. Kids barfed on their parents. A fat lady barfed in her purse. The Donnelley twins barfed on each other, and the Women's Auxiliary barfed all over the Benevolent Order of Antelopes. And Lardass just sat back and enjoyed what he'd created-a complete and total barf-o-rama!

    VernTeddyChris: [Cheering and laughing] Yeah!

Everywhere he's gone, he's created destruction. So I charge him. I charge him with being the greates kidnapper on this earth! I charge him with being the greatest murderer on this earth! I charge him with being the greatest robber and enslaver on this earth! I charge the white man with being the greatest swine-eater on this earth. The greatest drunkard on this earth!

    Crowd: Talk to me, Jesus Christ...

    Jesus: There may be a kingdom for me somewhere, if you only knew.

  • Crowd: Pilate, crucify him! Crucify! Remember Caeser! You have a duty to keep the peace, so crucify him! Remember Caeser! You'll be demoted! You'll be deported! Crucify him!

  • Max: [on deck of ship] It happened every time. Someone would look up, and see her. It's difficult to understand. There'd be more than a thousand of us on that ship, traveling rich folks, immigrants, and strange people, and us; yet there was always *one*, one guy alone, who would see her first. Maybe he was just sitting there eating, or walking on the deck, maybe he was just fixing his pants. He'd look up for a second, a quick glance out to sea, and he'd *see* her. Then he'd just stand there, rooted to the spot, his heart racing. And every time, *every* *damn* *time* I swear, he'd turn to us, towards the ship, towards everybody, and *scream*.

    Passenger: [pointing] America!

    Crowd: [everyone turns to see the Statue of Liberty, and break out in cheers]

    Villager: There's a curse upon this village, the curse of Frankenstein.

    Crowd: Aye.

    Older Villager: Aye, it is true. The whole countryside shuns the village. Our fields are barren, the inn is empty.

    Village Mother of Hungry Children: My little ones cry in their sleep. They are hungry. There is no bread.

    Older Villager: It's the curse, the curse of Frankenstein.

    Mayor: This is nonsense, folks. You talk as though these were the Dark Ages. You know as well as I do that the monster died in the sulfur pit under Frankenstein's tower. And that Ygor, his familiar, was riddled with bullets from the gun of Baron Frankenstein himself.

    Older Villager: But Ygor does not die that easily. They hanged him and broke his neck, but he lives.

    Villager: Haven't I seen him, sitting beside the hardened sulphur pit, playing his weird horn as if to lure the monster back from death to do his evil bidden?

    Mayor: You talk like frightened children.

    Villager: Well, if something isn't done, there'll be a new mayor after the fall election.

    Crowd: Aye.

    Mayor: Well, what do you want me to do?

    Villager: Destroy the castle! Wipe the last traces of these accursed Frankensteins from our land.

    Councillor: The people are right, Your Honor.

    Councillor: I agree, Your Honor.

    Mayor: I don't believe that these dead wretches can affect the prosperity of this village. But do as you will with the castle. It's yours.

    Villager: We'll blow it up!

  • Doc Murdoch: Can you cook lamb?

    Cookie: There are nine different ways to cook mutton. And I know them all!

    Homer Kettle: Never mind that! Do you cook it with the hair on?

    Cookie: I should say not!

    Crowd: Hurray!

    Homer Kettle: Then you're hired!

  • Crowd: Down with military Dictatorship!
