Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet - Big Baby



(spoken by Charles Burns, who's playing several different characters)

Tony: Hey, Mister, no, up here ... what'cha digging for?

Worker: Ah, it's a secret, kid. But, I guess I can tell you. We're diggin' for buried treasure

Tony: Wow, really? How'd it get in Mr. Pinkster's back yard?

Worker: Eh, it was put there by monsters. Yeah, this is monster treasure

Tony: Cool, hey! My dad's got a shovel, can I help too?

Worker: Eh, sorry kid, I don't think so

Mr. Pinkster: Okay, Tony, leave these men alone. They have work to do

Tony: But ... but I wanna help find monster treasure. Can I, Mr. Pinkster, can I please?

Mr. Pinkster: Don't gimme any of your backtalk young man, just climb down from there and let those men get back to work

Tony: Your name isn't Mr. Pinkster, it's Mr. Stinkster

Narrator: Later, at Tony's house ...

Mom: I don't wanna hear another word out of you, just close your mouth and go to sleep
Tony: Okay, g'night, mom
Narrator: Thirty seconds later ...

Tony: Wow, I wonder what kind of treasure monsters would bury. I wish I could ... hey, I just saw something moving down there. Geez, it looks like one of those monsters. Mom, Dad, come quick, it's a monster!

Mom: Alright, Tony, what is it this time?

Tony: Ah, there are monsters in Mr. Pinkster's back yard, I'm not kidding

Mom: There's nothing down there but a hole

Dad: I think you've been watching a few too many spook shows for your own good

Tony: But it really was there Dad, really

Dad: Uh, do you want me to plug in your nightlight?

Tony: Ah, Dad, that's baby stuff!

Narrator: One hour later ...

Tony: There it is again. But, but it's carrying something. Looks like a man ... oh, no, now it's crawling back in the hole. Oh, no, Mom!

Mom: I'm losing my patience with you, young man, if you don't ...

Tony: Mom, could you plug in my nightlight? I promise I'll be good and go to sleep
