Text transcript
Dr Quickly: I thought that the whole point was to NOT blow up!! Rabid: Sometimes after all th'dodging and yes also weaving it is sort of a nice diversion to explode!! Dr Quickly: Hm, perhpas you could demonstrate this for me? Rabid: Well... Rabid: Okay! << KA-BOOM!! >> Dr Quickly: What fun indeed! Maybe I'LL give it a try! Dr Quickly: HRRNK! Rabish: Doctor Quickly! What are you DOING?! Dr Quickly: HRRNK! Dr Quickly: Why, I'm trying to explode, of course! That lovable scamp Rabid made it look so EASY!! Rabish: Oh no! He fooled you too? He's been sending out exploding robot doubles. Dr Quickly: Why that little!! Dr Quickly: That! :: sputter :: Dr Quickly: Makes me so mad I could... << KA-BOOM! >> Rabish: Wow! Ha ha! That was really neat! Space Frog: You are pulling tricks! Rabid: Aye. Space Frog: Are you up to no good? Rabid: Some-thing like that. Rabish: Rabid is very odd lately! Uncharacteristic! Rabish: I'll find so OUT what he is up TO! [[ Meanwhile: ]] Noel: Heh heh! Plan underway! Rabid: You see, Space Frog, I have these magic beans a strange and cloaked figure gave me... Rabid: They are of a variety he -- it -- referred to as "Bobo Beans"! Rabid: Some I was told to eat, which I did. Rabid: Others to plant, I did that too... Noel: ... and soon they will grow!! Noel: Soon! Soon they will grow! Rabid: It should sprout soon... why do I feel so strange? Rabish: Oh what is going on! Why has the doctor not come back from exploding? Rabish: I guess it's going to be up to me to figure out why everything's been sooooo weird lately... Space Frog: Hey Rabid! I'm peckish! Got any of those beans?! [[ (time has passed) ]] Rabid: BLUH? GAH! HUH? NO! GO AWAY!! Space Frog: Fine then! I'll eat YOU! << SWALLOW! >> Noel: Something has gone wrong with my evil plans! Noel: BUT WHAT COULD IT BE?! Noel: I will check my infer-o-scope!! Noel: Oh no! It cannot be!! Space Frog: I BELIEVE I HAVE EATEN SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT AGREE WITH ME!! Rabid: Doesn't AGREE? EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG!! Space Frog: Hey! Quiet down there! Rabid: No! << BLURST >> Rabid: HA HA HA HA HA Rabish: Oh no! I'm too late! Rabid: THAT'S RIGHT!! Rabish: EEK! Rabid: You're NEXT!! Rabish: EEEE!! << Yoink! >> Rabish: ?!

A Bobo Tree! You must be behind all this! Dr Quickly: The reputation of the Bobo Tree is based on unconfirmed hearsay! I woudl fain blame a tree. Rabish: Doctor Quickly! You're back! Tree: Oh! The noble famed Dr. Q! You must know the truth about the Bobo Beans! We're as non-violent as any othe tree -- unhampered in our kindess by our motility!! Dr Quickly: Yes, but the beans are still very dangerous to consume! Poor Rabid! Tree: He'll be better after he hangs for a while. The spines'll drop off, too. Dr Quickly: I know of only one who would get up to such a ... fiendish and ill-researched plan! Noel: They'll NEVER catch me!! Noel: HA HA HA! Noel: Ha! I am on the desolate and barren moon! No-one will find me here! [[ Many years pass: ]] Noel: I'm bored, and LONELY! Noel: ... Noel: This was a really stupid idea. [[ Meanwhile: ]] Rabid: I can't believe how much fun we've had over the past few years! Rabish: And it's all thanks to the Bobo Tree! Yay! Noel: sigh... [[ Post Scriptum ]] Tree: So much fun we've had, yet now it is time for me to wilt. Rabish: So long! We'll all miss you! << droop! >> [[ Meanwhile: ]] Noel: Back from the moon at last! Noel: Now I shall get down to some most SERIOUS evil! Dr Quickly: I sense an ominous apprehension... KEEN!!
