#Who will go

to the cellar down below #

#Trouble is a-bubbling

in the brew #

#While you're

down there #

# Mr. Vincent Price

will give you good advice #

# He'll know

what to do #

#You just

tell him boo #

# He will put the voodoo

in the stew, I'm telling you #

# It's like a movie #

#It's a B-movie show #

#It's like a movie #

# It's a B-movie show #

Look at me.

Barf, barf, barf!

I'm a can opener,

a lamp, and a shaver.

Oh, God,

I'm a mishmash!

#This is weird #

# It's much worse

than I feared #

# I'll close my eyes

and make it disappear #

- #This is strange #

- # It ain't home on the range #

#You just tell St. Pete

that you got cold feet #

#There goes the sun

Here comes the night #

# Somebody

turn on the light #

# Somebody tell me

that fate has been kind #

#You can't go out

You are out of your mind #

# It's like a movie #

#It's a B-movie show #

#It's like a movie #

#It's a B-movie show #

#Ah-ahh #

#Ah-ahh

ah-ahh #

Excuse me,

the missus loved the blender motor.

Was wondering if you got

some radio tubes, too.

Sure.

I got a whole shipment of

radio tubes in this morning.

You gotta help me.

I'll do anything!

I can get you bread,

mounds of hot cross buns.

Pull yourself together!

Now what did I do

with that radio?

I could swear I left

it right here...

in this very,

very spot.

What did it do,

get up and walk away?

I really should

drink more coffee.

Aha!

There you are!

Ha, ha!

I got ya!

#Bo-bub-bup #

Kirby,

what should we do?

I don't know.

Hey!

I've got an idea!

A- hoo!

Whoa-oh-oh!

Aaah!

See? It worked!

I told you!

I told you!

I knew!

It worked!

Jailbreak!

Jailbreak!

Oh, ooh.

What?

Did I catch you

at a bad time?

Just wondering

if you got my radio tubes.

Wow!

Yee-hoo!

Honey...

are you taking

enough underwear?

Mom, you bought me enough underwear

to stock the whole dorm.

Do you have

enough socks?

I'm not going toJupiter,

I'm going to college.

- It's just college.

- So let me worry a little bit.

I'm your mother.

That's Chris.

We're going to the cabin...

and pick up the lamp

and radio and stuff.

I can use them

at the dorm.

Hi, Rob.

You ready?

Good-bye, Mom!

Take a sweater.

Hey, Plugsy.

- Yeah?

- Did you hear that?

He's taking some old...

stuff to the dorm...

instead of us.

All right, go!

You're gonna

like this cabin.

Too bad we

have to sell it.

How are we gonna find the Master...

in this big place?

Here it is.

Excuse me...

could you tell us

how to get to...

To, uh...

A113.

This is it.

Go ahead.

He's not home.

We'll have to wait.

Let's wait inside

and relax!

But it's locked.

Luckily, my war training

included inter-appliance codes.

I will simply render

the secret appliance knock...

and we'll be welcomed

by the native machinery.

Stand aside,

my meager companion.

Hiya, pal!

It's them!

What are

we gonna do?

Should we

let them in?

Shhh!

All right.

How do ya do?

Tarry not upon

our doorstep.

Please feel free

to enter, all of ya.

Boy, you were

some lucky kid.

Every summer for as

long as I can remember...

we'd be running

all over this place.

I looked her straight

into those big blue eyes.

It was you who

killed Johnson.

Parker found out

and you killed him.

Then you tried

to get me.

It's your turn,

sweetheart.

Now you're

taking the fall.

There was a shot!

A puff of smoke!

We ran like

the dickens!

- And that's how we got here.

- Wow!

Well, something like that.

And all on

your own, too.

How convenient.

I mean...

- Remarkable.

- Yeah.

Junkyard refugees...

- in this house.

- What's the world coming to?

I wouldn't sew a stitch

on that raggedy blanket.

If you could

call it a blanket.

- Looks like an old diaper.

- It smells.

- It's raggedy.

- Get that thing away from me.

- Did someone wash that thing?

- No.

Yuck.

I'm nauseous.

Oh, how do you do?

How do you do?

Hey, look at this!

Boy!

He sure has grown.

What a heartbreaker!

He graduated, too!

Of course!

He knows how to work hard.

He's all big now.

- I hope he still needs us.

- Still needs you?

That's the silliest thing

I ever heard!

If it isn't

old rabbit ears!

If it isn't

old loudmouth!

- Hi, TV!

- How ya doing?

I've got a few

more seasons left.

The cottage wasn't the same

after they took you away.

Yeah,

it wasn't as noisy.

I see you

haven't changed.

Kind of gives you

a sense of security.

Where's the Master?

No one told you?

Is he gonna be surprised

when he gets back!

He just left to

drive out to the...

- Hey!

- What's the idea?

Oh, many pardons.

Was you watching

that channel?

Come on in.

It's the greatest,

isn't it?

You guys sure did some weird

stuff with your furniture.

What happened?

This is... Gee!

Somebody trashed

the whole cottage!

You big dumbo.

Didn't you lock

the doors?

I don't believe

I've ever seen...

quite so many

smiles before.

I've never seen

contraptions with so many...

buttons and knobs

and dials before.

Naturally.

We are on the cutting edge

of technology.

- Wow.

- What does that mean?

I don't know.

What does that mean?

# Since you came here

uninvited #

#We all knew

you'd be delighted #

#This is not the time

or place to hedge #

# No one here

would be so bold to #

# But since you asked

and no one's told you #

# Let us take you

to the cutting edge #

# I can process words

accounting too #

#And my pixel screen

displays for you #

# Computer graphics

locked into your memory #

#With fiber optics

cast in plastic #

# For natural sights

and sounds fantastic #

#Just reach out and talk

to your dear old uncle Emery #

# More, more, more #

# Everything you wanted

and more #

# More, more, more #

# Let me tell you

what it's for #

# Here's the printout

with the score #

#Get yourself together

on the edge #

#Ooo-ahh-ooo #

#You want to go to old

Rio deJaneiro, my dear #

#You want tojoin in

any Club Paradise #

#You'd rather stay at home

where the picture is clear #

#You get it on the stereo and

you don't even have to go #

#More, more, more #

#Everything you wanted

and more #

#More, more, more #

#Any time

or place you wish #

#You might meet up

with some dish #

# Pull yourself together

on the edge #

# If you want a lean machine

to whip up some mean cuisine #

# I'm on the scene

totally automatic #

# I can bake your

biscuits too #

# Pop some dough boy

out for you #

# I'm micro solid-state

and that's no static #

#More, more, more #

# Everything you wanted

and more #

# More, more, more #

#We're the bytes

and chips to call #

#You just have

yourself a ball #

#It's all hyperactive

on the edge #

#From LEDs to CRTs, woofers

tweeters, antenna trees #

#An ultra-nylon

life of ease #

# Everything you dreamed of

on the edge ##

- And more!

- And more!

Where's the toaster?

Where's the vacuum?

Whoa!

What's going on?

Where's the radio,

the lamp and blanket?

Whoa!

I'm glad the Master

has such good appliances.

Thomas M. Disch

Thomas Michael Disch (February 2, 1940 – July 4, 2008) was an American science fiction author and poet. He won the Hugo Award for Best Related Book – previously called "Best Non-Fiction Book" – in 1999, and he had two other Hugo nominations and nine Nebula Award nominations to his credit, plus one win of the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, a Rhysling Award, and two Seiun Awards, among others. In the 1960s, his work began appearing in science-fiction magazines. His critically acclaimed science fiction novels, The Genocides, Camp Concentration, 334 and On Wings of Song are major contributions to the New Wave science fiction movement. In 1996, his book The Castle of Indolence: On Poetry, Poets, and Poetasters was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and in 1999, Disch won the Nonfiction Hugo for The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of, a meditation on the impact of science fiction on our culture, as well as the Michael Braude Award for Light Verse. Among his other nonfiction work, he wrote theatre and opera criticism for The New York Times, The Nation, and other periodicals. He also published several volumes of poetry as Tom Disch. Following an extended period of depression following the death in 2005 of his life-partner, Charles Naylor, Disch stopped writing almost entirely, except for poetry and blog entries – although he did produce two novellas. Disch killed himself by gunshot on July 4, 2008 in his apartment in Manhattan, New York City. Naylor and Disch are buried alongside each other at Saint Johns Episcopal Church Columbarium, Dubuque, Iowa. His last book, The Word of God, which was written shortly before Naylor died, had just been published a few days before Disch's death. more…
