(After the Nostalgia-Ween intro, we open with Nostalgia Critic sitting in his chair.)
NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. Well, it's the last day of Nostalgia-Ween, and you know what that means. It's Stephen King Time!
(The sound of children cheering is heard and "Greenery" by Silent Partner plays as a black-and-white cutout of Stephen King in front of a colorful, cheerful background appears. The words "STEPHEN KING TIME!" appear on the screen. Clips from different Stephen King media are shown.)
NC: Boy, do I have a crazy one for you today! It's the miniseries of Stephen King's Laundry List!
(A made-up cover for a book entitled Laundry List is shown.)
NC (vo): Yep. Years ago, Stephen King said if he published his laundry list, fans would buy it. He did, and there's a miniseries of it now.
NC: We're talking hours dedicated to how the washer works...
(An image of a washing machine pops up.)
NC (vo): ...and how the dryer works... (An image of a clothes dryer pops up.) ...and the dialogue-heavy backstory about his socks! (An image of a laundry basket full of socks pops up. The sock on the very top of the pile has holes torn in it.)
NC: And I feel like I'm scraping bottom of the barrel here.
(Footage of various film adaptations of King novels (many of which NC looked at in the past) are shown.)
NC (vo): I mean, for several NostalgiaWeens, I've talked about a Stephen King property, and I love doing it. But I feel like, for the moment, I've talked about all the ones I want to talk about.
(Cut to a shot of a tweet by Doug in which he asks if he should stop doing King projects or continue, as he found a Ronald McDonald special that seems fun, but if he reviewed it, he would have to bump the King review he had in mind. He further asks if people are sick of such reviews or if they wouldn't like it if he missed one. The tweet finishes up with an image of Ronald McDonald himself.)
NC (vo): So I asked online if people want me to keep doing them, which I'd be totally fine with, or if they wanted me to do them only when I was passionate about talking about them. Overwhelmingly, people chose the latter, so I think I'm going to give it a break for a little bit...
(Cut to footage of other Halloween-appropriate, non-King films.)
NC (vo): ...and make room for some other Halloween oddness that may deserve some attention, too.
NC: With that said, (The cover for The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald: Scared Silly is shown in the corner.) what the hell is this?
(The title for Scared Silly is shown, followed by clips of it.)
NC (vo): In 1998, McDonald's released a VHS series called The Wacky World [sic] of Ronald McDonald. There were six altogether, and seeing how I was about 17 at the time, this didn't really pique my interest. Forty-two, on the other hand, of course I'm all over this! It's no secret McDonald's went out of their way in the '80s and '90s to market their restaurant...
(Cut to footage of actual McDonald's commercials.)
NC (vo): ...in a similar way Disney marketed their theme parks. They had kid-friendly characters with personalities, magical lands, they even tried creating sentimental moments. And I know this is all to sell happy-faced artery cloggers, but for the thirty-second spots they had, I think they did a decent job. Many of us still remember Grimace, Birdie, Hamburglar, this permanent resident in my night terrors [Mayor McCheese].
(Cut back to Scared Silly.)
NC (vo): So it's not surprising they tried telling actual stories at some point. They didn't mess around, either; they got one of the most popular animation studios at the time...
(Cut to the logo for the studio that made these films...)
NC (vo): ...Klasky-Csupo...
(Cut back to Scared Silly.)
NC (vo): ...the folks who made hits like (Shots of the following are shown...) Rugrats, Wild Thornberrys, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and my personal favorite, Duckman. The series sold like, well, hotcakes, as many locations quickly ran out of VHSes. Since then, it's gathered a lot of popularity, with their Halloween special Scared Silly ranking over 70 million views on YouTube. Sweet Jesus, what's in this special, the secret meat they use for the Chicken McNuggets?
(Cut to the famous clip of Soylent Green.)
Detective Thorn (Charlton Heston): ...is people!
(Cut back to Scared Silly.)
NC (vo): Well, for a long time, people have been asking me to look this over, so, on the last day of NostalgiaWeen, I'm going to do exactly that.
NC: Let's travel to a world where anything is possible as long as you...
(Cut to a clip of an old McDonald's commercial, in which the Hamburglar mistakenly believes Grimace to be a hamburger, but Ronald McDonald defends Grimace from the Hamburglar.)
Ronald McDonald: Don't touch Grimace!
NC: Let's take a look at The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald: Scared Silly.
NC (vo): We open in the often-shaky worldbuilding of McDonaldland, which sometimes look like Oz and other times looks like...leftover (An image of the following is shown in the corner...) lunchboxes they used to hand out with Happy Meals, where we see Ronald McDonald clearly invaded Pee-Wee [Herman]'s home, while also taking speed as everything is fast-forwarded.
(In Ronald McDonald's home, he wakes and, similar to Pee-Wee's house in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, uses various ridiculous gadgets to get himself ready for the day. However, the process is done at a very fast pace.)
NC (vo): No, I mean it. It's like 80 percent of the live action stuff is sped up. It's like (The closing credits for The Benny Hill Show pop up.) "eternal Benny Hill credits".
(As Ronald brushes his teeth, we hear a lively song about it.)
Background Singers: Getting even cooler stuff and to a new beat...
NC (vo): That's Jack Doepke as my personal favorite version of Ronald McDonald. And believe it or not, only one live-action character was designed by Klasky-Csupo and not the McDonald Corporation. Can you guess which one it is?
(Ronald goes into a closet to dress into an appropriate outfit. He comes out several times wearing different outfits. His dog Sundae (who has red hair on his head just like Ronald), however, keeps shaking his head no repeatedly, apparently not liking his master's choice of outfits. Finally, Ronald emerges, wearing his traditional red and yellow McDonald's outfit, and Sundae finally nods yes.)
NC: Yeah, look at that freak! It's like its parents were...
(As we cut back to Sundae, we are shown images of the following next to him...)
NC (vo): ...Frasier [Crane]'s dog and Boy George!
(We see another bit of the intro where Ronald briefly dresses up as an astronaut, before we cut to the first scene, showing Sundae in the living room watching TV, which is showing a horror movie about dinosaurs.)
NC: This is Ronald's pet named Sundae. Yeah, even the name of a dog has to advertise something. And he's played by, no joke, Verne Troyer.
(Ronald comes in to join Sundae in watching the movie.)
Sundae (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker): The dinosaurs are eating their way through Central Park.
NC: (frozen smile) Presumably not the voice.
NC (vo): They sit down to watch a scary movie called "Attack of the Dinosaurs".
(As Ronald and Sundae watch, the film shows a scene showing a woman and a scientist witnessing the dinosaurs causing havoc)
Woman: If you hadn't sat on that dinosaur egg, we wouldn't be in this mess.
Scientist: I did it for science!
NC: (snickers) I may use that excuse for everything.
(Cut to NC (wearing his NostalgiaWeen jacket) in bed with the light off. He is watching TV in his room, holding the remote control in his hand. He smiles creepily while porno music plays in the background.)
NC: Yeah...
(He then puts the remote down and lifts up the sheets. He is about to put his hand under his sheets, when suddenly, Chester A. Bum bursts into the room.)
Chester: Mr. McCritic, I just wanted to ask you–
(He is interrupted, however, as he glances toward what it is that NC is watching. Chester yelps in shock at what is on the TV (which we never see). NC frantically looks around, trying to figure out what's wrong.)
Chester: OH! OH, MY GOD! WHAT IS THAT?!? (looks disgusted) IS THAT THAT BLUE THING FROM THE LAST EPISODE OF COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG?!?!
NC: I did it for science!
Chester: (suddenly calm) Oh, okay.
(In the special, while watching the movie, an alarm goes off, startling Ronald, who spills his popcorn everywhere. He looks around for Sundae, who appears to have vanished, then looks up to spot Sundae caught in the blades of the spinning ceiling fan. The dog then falls down and lands in Ronald's arms.)
NC: All right, so you know how I joked if you took out the slo-mo in Passion of the Christ, it'd be ten minutes long?
NC (vo): Well, if you took out the sped-up scenes in this, I'm convinced it'd be three hours long. It's fine in a commercial, but it's a little much here.
(Ronald then slides down a pole to a secret bank of screens on a desk. To a mix of slo-mo and speeding up, he walks up to and sits at the desk as a bell rings.)
NC: Just walk to a chair. You didn't have to Requiem for a Dream that!
(Ronald speaks into a microphone.)
Ronald: Oh, hi, Tika. What's up?
(On one of the screens, which looks like a Picture Phone, a freaky-looking CG-rendered girl appears.)
Tika (voice of Jazmine A. Corona): Well, it's a really nice day.
NC: (recoiling in horror at the sight of Tika) Sweet Moses!
Tika: I'm wandering right around the corner, so I was wondering if you and the gang might want to go camping together out in Far-Flung Forest.
(Suddenly, the image is replaced by the low poly-count acid trip block man from the freaky Nintendo commercial from Australia.)
Man: WE ARE NINTENDO. ULTIMATE TV GAME SYSTEM.
Ronald: Great idea! Fresh air, campfires...
NC (vo): You gotta love how Ronald has his name on the back of his shirt. We...wouldn't want anyone to confuse his common look or common wardrobe for anyone else.
Tika: So you're up for it?
Ronald: Ho! Sure, Tika!
NC (vo): She invites him on a camping trip and he cheerfully agrees.
Ronald: Meet us at the car in five minutes.
Tika: Thanks, Ronald.
NC: Remember, kids, whenever a man in a clown costume tells you that, he can be trusted.
(Ronald then answers another one who is calling on the Picture Phone, and it is revealed to be Grimace.)
NC (vo): Hey, why did they turn Grimace into Patrick the Eggplant?
Grimace (voice of Kevin Michael Richardson): (looking scared) Ronald, I can't watch any more TV! They're all scary!
NC: (confused) Maybe this is what happens when you eat Burger King in this universe.
Grimace: Every channel I turn to has movies with vampires, and monsters, and baby ducks!
(Upon hearing that, Ronald becomes confused as he mouths "Baby ducks?")
NC: Never thought I'd see the day when Ronald McDonald gives a look like... (The shot of Ronald's confused look is shown.) "Christ, I need new friends."
Ronald: Meet us at the car as soon as you can. (hangs up)
NC (vo): He invites Grimace to come camping as well, as Ronald starts to get ready...
Ronald: Hey, Sundae, can you find that new flashlight we were working on?
Sundae: Okay, Ronald.
NC: You did say..."flashlight", right?
NC (vo): Don't give me that look. Don't tell me you couldn't see something like that hanging around this place!
Birdie (voice of Christine Cavanaugh): You will never believe it!
Ronald: What, Birdie?
Birdie: I'm certain a spaceship came down.
NC: (creeped out) Did everybody get the Lawnmower Man treatment?!
Birdie: Aliens, Ronald! Aliens! It was here one moment and gone the next.
(Sundae comes into Ronald's room.)
NC (vo; as Ronald): I told you, stop taking the Joe Rogan Experience so seriously.
Ronald: Let's see how that new tent and a flashlight invention works!
NC (vo): Their flashlight tent doesn't work that great. Now, the other tent with the... (clears throat) other light worked interestingly. And they decide to head onward to adventure.
(Ronald and Sundae drop through a tube filled with colorful balls. As this happens, Ronald turns into a cartoon version of himself.)
NC (vo): Oh, thank God. Now we can look as properly satanic as everyone else.
(Ronald lands in another ball pit at the bottom of the tube. The other McDonald's characters with Tika in tow all appear in the room.)
All: Hi, Ronald!
Grimace: Hi, Ronald.
NC (vo): We switch to animation as they ride through...man, again, a surprisingly mundane McDonaldland.
NC: I don't reckon. Like, look at these previous depictions of McDonaldland...
(Cut to a clip of a McDonald's commercial from the 1970s. It is much more lively as Ronald McDonald and two kids explore the area.)
Background Singers: Follow Ronald McDonald through the land of apple pie trees, milkshake volcanoes, you'll even find a French fry thatch...
NC (vo): That sounds awesome! It...killed me before I'm twenty. But what an amazing fashion to go!
(Cut back to Scared Silly.)
NC (vo): This town's just made out of colorful nose hair clippers; not really that magical.
Tika: Thanks for having me along, Ronald. I've always wanted to go camping in Far-Flung Forest.
NC (vo:) They make their road to the Far-Flung Forest where Tika says a terrible phantom lurks.
Tika: A ghost that walks the night and preys on unsuspecting campers. And they get lost...forever!
Grimace: (terrified) No...! (shivers)
NC: Don't worry, there's no way this phantom's anywhere near as frightening as every single one of you!
Ronald: I've been camping in Far-Flung Forest for years. I haven't seen any phantom!
NC (vo): You are the phantom! I'm sorry, I usually like this style, but for McDonald's characters, it's freaky! Ronald looks like one of these punching bag clowns became human, but somehow kept the same proportions.
Ronald: What we need for the car is a good driving song.
NC (vo): They sing a song about camping, which I swear is the "Immigrant Song" from Led Zeppelin.
Ronald: (singing) There's nothing like the grand outdoors in the Far-Flung Forest is the best, of course.
NC (vo; singing): We come from the land of ice and snow from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow! (spoken) And they finally arrive.
McNugget #1 (voice of Pamela Adlon): Thought you might need an extra body, Grimace.
Grimace: Oh, sure. Jump in!
NC (vo): Something you might pick up on is that there's...quite a few notable voice actors in this, including Christine Cavanaugh as Birdie, Charlie Adler as Hamburglar, Kevin Michael Richardson as Grimace, and Pamela Adlon as...a Chicken McNugget? That's what they're supposed to be? Do I really want to think about what McNuggets look like before they're cooked? Hell, what am I speaking about? Depending on the location, (The infamous image of the real-live chicken found in some Chicken McNuggets is shown in the corner.) that might be what they look like after they're cooked!
(Suddenly, Sundae sniffs something.)
Sundae: Squirrel!
NC (vo): Sundae chases after a squirrel and... (A giant squirrel in army pants and boots steps out.) Whoa! Take a Rodent Commando. I didn't know there were rodents who were adult calendar models, but I've been online long enough not to be surprised by it.
Ronald: We have another three hours 'til we make camp.
Birdie: My poor delicate arches!
NC: What Ronald says wherever he's kicked in the McNuggets.
NC (vo): Hamburglar tries to trick Ronald into speeding things up by using his magic. Did you see the first five minutes? We don't need more Meth Donald time! And he [Hamburglar] tries using a bear call, summoning an actual one.
(A bear appears behind Hamburglar and chases after everyone, but Ronald somehow conjures up a door out of nowhere and opens. The bear runs inside. Ronald leans against the door, relieved.)
NC (vo): He just spent an eternity in the black void where he's unable to die and unable to live. Wacky adventure!
Birdie: There is a lot of groundwork to cover, so let's get cracking!
NC (vo): They sing a song about setting up camp...
Ronald and Sundae: (singing) Time to set, set, set, set, set, set, set up camp!
NC (vo): From the (The soundtrack album for Wish pops up.) lyricist of Wish.
NC: I'd mention their names, but they got enough death threats.
NC (vo): But later that night, it starts storming, and they discover an old Gothic house.
(Ronald enters the house and looks around. Unbeknownst to him, one of the candlesticks in the wall is actually a security camera, which records everyone as they enter.)
NC: (pumping fist) Yes! We're finally getting the McDonald's cinematic universe we all deserve!
(As he says this, an image of the security camera in Mac and Me is shown in the corner, along with the made-up movie title for it: Paranormal Mactivity (with the Ms being the M in the McDonald's logo). And on that note, we go to a commercial break. Upon return, the McDonald's special resumes, as everyone looks around, unaware of the objects moving on their own.)
NC (vo): Ronald starts singing a song about what kind of people could be living in this house...
Tika: (singing) This place is creepy, but you gotta admit, we got no choice on a night like this...
NC: Tika got the same coach as Joaquin Phoenix from Joker 2.
NC (vo): And I will admit, this house is pretty fun. This is where the Klasky-Csupo style really shines. Everything has an Aaahh!!! Real Monsters feel to it; very Halloween-ish.
Grimace: It smells all musty, and everything is dusty!
NC: Ah, so a kitchen at...well, McDonald's.
(The gang runs into a giant robot.)
NC (vo): Oh, my God, look at their design for (An image of the following McDonald's character is shown off to the side...) CosMc!
Tika: Let's see where those doors go.
NC (vo): They reach a series of doors, when suddenly, a floating head appears, offering them a riddle.
Floating Head (voice of Patrick Pinney): Never push and never pull, you're finished when your plate is full. Exercise your force of will...
NC: (as floating head) One dollar menu, that's a good bill.
(To the sound of the Windows 95 "tada!" tone, the words "THIS IS ALL A COMMERCIAL!" pop up in yellow, while NC nods.)
NC (vo): They stand on the drawing on the drawing of a plate on a carpet, opening one of the doors. Yeah, gee, all this imagery is bizarrely making me hungry!
(A montage of promotional images for the following are shown: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original show), He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, G.I. Joe: An American Hero and The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.)
NC (vo): How do these cartoons get called commercials again?
(They enter another room, but the door slams shut.)
NC (vo): They enter a room where the walls close in and...
Tika: We'll be crushed!
(Cut to the hallway outside the room. The door is broken open, and everyone emerges, all scrunched together into a block-like form. The block then expands, and everyone scatters in all directions.)
NC (vo): Oh, that was anticlimactic.
NC: I don't know, what was I expecting?
(The scene replays.)
Tika: We'll be crushed!
(Again cut to the hallway outside the door. But this time, blood splatters out through the cracks, presumably killing everyone. Then the McDonald's logo appears, along with its longtime slogan: "It's a Good Time for the Great Taste".)
Background Singers: It's a good time for the great taste of McDonald's!
(Then Grimace opens another door, revealing the bear from earlier. Grimace quickly slams it shut.)
NC (vo): Uh-oh, there's that bear again! Back to the dreamless sleep void!
(Suddenly, mirrors form around the group.)
NC (vo): They get trapped in a hall of mirrors, but Ronald says if they just put their left hands on the side of the wall, they'll eventually find their way out.
Ronald: You might have to walk through the whole maze, but if you don't ever lift your hand from the wall, eventually, you'll find your way out.
NC (vo): This might be the first Halloween anything that actually recommends following the man in creepy clown makeup.
(They eventually find the way out and walk through the door into another room.)
Grimace: It worked!
NC (vo): They move towards the way out, but the way out moves away from them. However, Grimace has an idea.
Grimace: We can stop the walls from moving if we all just spread out in a circle.
NC: (pointing at camera and smiling) Hey! That kind of justifies you being in this!
NC (vo): They do exactly that, and the floating head congratulates them on making it further than anyone else.
Floating Head: You can beat me by pitting your brains against mine. And you get your friends back.
NC (vo): So, this whole special is basically (An image of a McDonald's Happy Meal box (promoting a re-release of The Jungle Book, circa 1990, no less) pops up.) a Happy Meal box riddle tied in with the movies, (Posters for the following pop up...) The Game and Saw?
Floating Head: What is it that the more you take away from it, the bigger it gets?
NC: (holds up index finger) Life expectancy when not eating fast food.
Tika: I know! A restaurant! The more you take out...
NC: Rigged!
Floating Head: Way too complicated. The answer is, a hole!
(A hole appears under Tika and she falls through it.)
NC (vo): Yeah, despite it obviously being a commercial, I did actually like her answer a little better. I mean, hey, it worked better in that ad than...
(Cut to a clip of Batman Forever.)
Batman: I'll get drive-thru.
(Cut back to Scared Silly.)
Sundae: Oh, man, I read that one on the bottom of a gum wrapper!
NC: (laughs sarcastically) You make Happy Meals!
(As he says this, an image of another Happy Meal box (again promoting the Jungle Book re-release) is shown in the corner.)
NC (vo): They continue to get the riddles wrong until they get to Ronald.
Floating Head: What costs nothing, but is worth everything, that one person can't own, but two people can share?
Ronald: The answer is...FRIENDSHIP!
(The floating head is outraged that Ronald finally got a riddle right.)
NC (vo; as floating head): Drat! I've been foiled by the greasy, oversalted power of love!
Floating Head: Lucky guess! No fun! No fun!
NC (vo): I like this mastermind is kind of a brat, like you think you're going up against (An image of the following is shown...) Darth Vader, but it's really (Now cut to an image of...) Duck Vader.
(The phantom head disappears, and Ronald spots an electrical cord. He looks to see where it leads and is amazed.)
Ronald: It's a wire that leads to a TV camera!
NC (vo): Sundae finds a wire, and they follow it to a room where the Wizard is– I mean, the real mastermind is: a little boy named Franklin, who Tika is friends with. He's played by Alex D. Linz... (Images of Home Alone 3 and Max Keeble's Big Move, both starring Linz, are shown.) weirdly typecast as "boy genius who sets traps". But it turns out he's been using his dad's V.R. equipment.
(Franklin's father, Dr. Quizzical, shows up to reprimand his son for using his V.R. equipment without his permission and scaring people with it.)
Franklin: Dad's a super genius. I'm going to be like him someday.
Dr. Quizzical (voice of Maurice LaMarche): I only use my work to help people.
NC (vo; as Dr. Quizzical): As you can tell by my home clearly designed to give the impression of helping others. (normal) It turns out a lot of this, though, was Tika's idea.
Tika: Sorry I tricked you, Ronald, but I really wanted you to play a game, and I couldn't think of any other way.
NC: (as Tika) I know I could have asked, but... No, there's no second half to that; I could have just asked.
Ronald: You still want to go camping?
Tika: Sure!
Ronald: Anybody else?
(The camera is shown looking down on the group from above. Ronald and Sundae look like they're lying on the floor, with Sundae's legs being splayed out.)
Everyone: Yes!
NC: Were Ronald and...
(The downward shot from above is shown again.)
NC (vo): ...Sundae killed on the carpet in between shots? I'm assuming there wasn't a ton of time for redraws, but...they need a redraw! Franklin expresses interest in going camping, too.
Franklin: Sorry. Could we go camping?
NC: Sure! We need to burn someone for the fireplace. You'll do nicely!
NC (vo): They all go camping and make their way back to the somehow more horrifying world of live action.
(Upon return to the live-action world, Ronald and Sundae watch the dinosaur movie they were watching earlier.)
Ronald: This is the same baby dinosaur that the scientist hatched in the first movie?
Sundae: Right.
Ronald: Are you sure you want to watch that before bedtime?
NC: I think every parent asked their kid that (An image of Sundae is shown in the corner.) before showing them this imagery.
Sundae: With a friend like you, I'm not afraid of anything.
NC (vo; as Sundae): Except obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, whatever else is hidden in the corner of the McDonald's menu.
(As he says this, a typical McDonald's menu pops up, and the camera zooms in on the corner showing the Oreo and shamrock shakes, with an additional message: "May cause: obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, certain death".)
Ronald: (looking into camera) This is your very own clown, Ronald McDonald, hoping I'll see you next time live and in person at McDonald's.
NC: (pretending to be shocked) Wait, this was an ad? I thought this was an adaptation of (The cover of "Paradise Lost" appears off to the side.) "Paradise Lost"!
(Footage of the special is shown one last time as NC gives his closing thoughts.)
NC (vo): And that was The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald: Scared Silly. I...didn't get that into it, but I don't think it's really meant for me. It's aimed at little kids who just want some recognizable characters bouncing around and... Okay, despite being a long commercial for not the healthiest food, I think it works okay for what it is. The live-action segments are a little annoying, speeding everything up, and sometimes, the designs can be distracting, but when they get to the creepy house, I think it becomes creative enough with a lot of classic creepy house tropes. The characters are harmless, and for a short forty-minute adventure, I think it's perfectly serviceable. Again, for little kids. It might be an obvious ad, but (The promos for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man and G.I. Joe are shown again.) given what I've grown up with, and considering it's around Halloween, I guess you could argue a lot of us are used to that, and every once in a while, there might just be the tiniest bit of charm to it.
NC: Happy NostalgiaWeen, everyone! Now, if you'll excuse me, (takes iPad tablet) I have a bit more science to partake in...
(NC pushes a button on the tablet. The porno music from earlier plays as NC smiles and nods creepily. Suddenly, he hears the door opening, startling him.)
Chester A. Bum: Oh, Mr. McCritic, I forgot to mention– OH, MY GOD! WHAT'S IN THAT SQUIRREL'S ARMY PANTS?!
(Becoming nervous, NC tries to hide the tablet and shoo Chester away.)
Channel Awesome Tagline – Scientist: I did it for science!
(The credits roll.)
