- No, no, no, no!

- He's contagious!

- I don't have any immunities!

Don't try to change

your story now, boy.

I don't have germs!

I'm not contagious!

I just need a ride!

I need a ride!

I hereby declare

this place quarantined!

I don't have germs!

I don't...

- Burn, baby, burn

- Whoa! Whoa!

- What's going on, Sheriff?

- Burn, baby, burn

Guys, I think

your building's on fire.

- Burn, baby, burn

- Carl Peterson's best pig just died!

It's spreading!

It's spreading!

Burn, baby, burn

Disco inferno

Burn, baby, burn

Burn that mother down, y'all

Burn, baby, burn

Disco inferno, yeah

- Now, burn it

- Hey!

Just like Calcutta in the summer!

Come. Follow me.

Come on.

- I don't think I'm in!

- Stop messing about.

This whole town is going to blow!

Boy, howdy!

Now, that's a good fire!

- Uh-oh.

- Burn, baby, burn

Disco inferno, yeah

Burn that mother down

Burn, baby, burn

Ice cream! Ice cream!

Curry!

Let's go. Let's go. Come on.

Watch out for the feet.

I told you. I told you before.

Look out! Coming through!

I'm on the run.

Morton, that's the one!

Jimmy! Jimmy! We're here!

Morton, get this thing open.

Jimmy! Ji-Jimmy! Oh!

Look at this cute

little boy, Morton.

Can you tell me, have you seen my son?

He's wearing a large plastic bubble suit.

I know what you want.

I'll give you some candy.

- He stole my freaks, that son of a b*tch!

- Oh! Potty mouth you have.

Where was he going?

Screw you, lady!

Thanks.

Thanks for saving me back there.

- You're welcome.

- Those were some crazy vatos.

For some unknown reason, Shiva brought

you into my life like a hot flash.

You came to my defence, and the law of

karma requires me to return the favour.

You see, this ice cream truck

is merely a catalyst...

...a way to teach the wisdom

of the sacred cow.

For who can resist ice cream, eh?

I know I can't.

So, how may I be of service to you,

my zip-locked friend?

I need to get to

Niagara Falls by Saturday...

...to stop Chloe from getting married.

Oh.

I was thinking more along the lines

of a free snow cone, but okay.

Niagara Falls it is.

Living in the Land

Of the Lost

Livin'in the Land

No way is this better

than Jurassic Park.

I can't believe you and Bubble Geek

actually like this show.

- The effects look totally fake.

- That's the whole point.

What, it's supposed

to look fake?

I'm not here.

- Hello?

- What have you done with my son?

Mrs Livingston?

Is he with you?

How could he be here?

Well, apparently he's on his way

to your wedding in a bubble suit...

...exposing himself to all the wickedness

and filth this world has to offer.

And you're responsible!

Come on! Over here!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, this way!

Come on, come on!

Let's go, Morton.

Correction. You two aren't going

anywhere until I get my freaks back.

Don't you take that tone of voice

with me, young man.

Morton, are you just gonna sit there

and let him talk to me like that?

Yeah, Mort, are you?

- My car!

- My freaks!

Road trip!

Help! Jimmy!

Aah! Jimmy!

Help!

Hang on! Hang on!

Screw you, Grumpy!

Hop on, babe.

Thanks for saving me, Mark.

How do you do it?

Immunities, baby.

Immunities.

Oh, dear.

Oh. Oh.

Look at that. It's an elk.

Or-Or is it a... a caribou?

Or an American bison?

I, uh...

I think that it's a cow.

Oh, really? A cow?

I didn't know.

What have I done?

It's just a cow, Pushpop.

It's not...

Just a cow?

Just a cow?

In my religion, the cow is the womb

from which all life springs!

I have transgressed against Shiva!

Shiva?

The six-armed goddess.

Have you ever been karmically

b*tch-slapped by a six-armed goddess?

I'll take that as a no!

Oh, um...

...it's okay, Pushpop.

Your religion's all lies.

- Pardon?

- That's what my mom says.

I mean...

Bollocks.

I must atone.

His mother taught him.

What nonsense.

May Shiva shine upon your journey.

Well, can't we...

can't we drive and atone?

No! One for the road.

What?

There are germs in here!

Frozen! No germs!

No germs?

When did this happen?

Thanks for the lift.

So long!

Ice cream!

It was one thing that my mom had never

heard of the b*tch-slapping goddess...

...but it seemed like everybody should've

heard of frozen, germ-free ice cream.

Everybody loves ice cream.

Stripper.

Dykes.

Dear Lord, if thou findest the stealing

of this truck offensive in any way...

...please direct thy wrath

upon that midget...

...and not upon us,

thy humble servants.

All right.

Let's haul ass.

One of you two gotta drive.

I can't reach the pedals.

Okay. Upsy-daisy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, go.

I'm coming back as a cockroach.

Definitely a cockroach.

Now, we don't know where

those hands have been, do we?

Rub 'em together.

Rub 'em together.

Kill those germs. That's right.

Good boy.

No! Stop!

Show some respect!

Hey! Yo, hippie!

You seen a big, yellow bus with a lot of bright

and shiny cabrones pass through here?

No, sir.

I don't believe I have.

You got any Bomb Pops

on that truck?

Oh, yes.

Please, take the whole damn truck.

All right! Ice cream!

Who wants a blue one?

Come and join our happy band

Always happy, never gay

Living clean is A-OK

Bright

And shiny

What have I done?

You okay?

Yeah.

It's just... Jimmy's

my best friend, you know?

We basically spent

every day together in high school.

Yeah? Did you ever, you know,

get in his bubble?

No.

- Not that I didn't think about it, though.

- I know what you mean.

I used to play "Spin the Bottle"

with the kid from Special Ed.

Well.

I mean, obviously, it would've never

worked out between the two of us.

Yeah. I mean, rubber comes in handy every

once in a while, but let's not go overboard.

You're way better off

with my brother.

Yeah. Way better off.

Take a little time

Throw it on the line

Let me believe

that you believe in me

Baby, turn around

Look at what I found

You are the one that I want

Take a little time

Throw it on the line

Let me believe

that you believe in me

Stand and turn around

Look at what I found

You were the one that I wanted

Take a little time

Throw it on the line

Let me believe

that you believe in me

Baby, turn around

Look at what I found

You were the one that I wanted

- Take a little time

- Taxi! Taxi!

Hi. I need to get

to Niagara Falls by tomorrow.

- Can you take me there?

- Depends.

- Depends on what?

- Going that far I'll have to get me some Depends.

And 500 smackers.

$500?

Where am I gonna get $500?

All right, who wants to be next?

Who wants the five hundred dollar?

Now, we need some fresh blood here!

Whoa! Spotlight on the dance floor!

Whoa, I like the look of this.

Mr Alien is here!

- What are you doing here, dummy?

- Um, I saw the sign outside...

...and it said, um,

that you have $500, and so...

You want five hundred dollar?

Yes, I... I would like $500.

You want five hundred dollar?

Yes, I would...

Please, I would like $500.

- You want five hundred dollar?

- Yes, I want five hundred dollar?
