And we're gonna begin...

This is our chance

Gonna begin...

Our very last chance

With you!

Where is it?

Where are you

hidin' it, dollface?

Up your asteroid.

Ahh-ahh-ahh...

Aw, who's the loser now? Squaresville.

Starts with "B" and it

ain't Bobbi, that's for sure.

I'm not exactly sure what's

going on around here, but...

Yeah, you and the rest

of your world.

It's your call,

baby doll.

Give me what I want.

Do that...

and your little friend

here might actually live

to tell the tale.

You wouldn't dare.

Give it back to me...

or pay the price.

To think I was actually

in love with you...

If that's the way

you wanna play the scene.

Hold on.

What's he doing?

Careful!

Oh my God!

Let's spark that plug!

Get in!

We'll catch up with

them later, back inside, now!

You, out!

Let's fade, baby!

To black!

I charge you, as you value

the secret of that device,

to do nothing and say nothing

of this episode.

I know where

the girl is hiding

and can guarantee

her safe return.

I'm feeling very

uncomfortable, Snooky.

Fear not, my pet.

Except opening nights,

sober critics,

or a poker player

holding a winning hand,

which I assure you, my

leather-clad warrior,

I most assuredly am.

What should we

do, boss?

Should we

make him talk?

Knock his block, clean

his clock?

Get cool, Paulie.

If this fine, upstanding citizen

and his fine upstanding...

wife?

Girlfriend.

Whatever.

...have anything

to tell us,

I'm sure that's

exactly what they're gonna do,

Right?

That's right,

super-duper, Daddy-o.

So.

Where is she?

I really couldn't say.

Oh, that's it, boss- Let me

rock him, let me sock him!

Unless you agree

to assist me.

You know,

tit for tat.

What?

Nice hat.

Kill the engine,

chuckles.

Gosh.

I used to see

double-features here.

I've never seen a picture show

at the drive-in.

You haven't?

Almost all of these

babies are gone,

just like the buffalo

and the 35-cent hamburger.

I can't believe you've never

been to a drive-in.

I have, just

not for the show.

I thought I told you

to kill that engine.

I'm sorry.

I've never done anything

like that before.

I've never done anything

like any of this before.

Well, I have, more times

than you can imagine,

and it always

comes out the same way.

I'm sorry.

So who are those punks

and what do they want?

You don't wanna know.

I think I should know, now that

I'm on their must-hit list.

They call themselves

"The Ghastly Ones".

The Ghastly Ones?

What are they,

musicians?

Not quite.

Chip...

I'm in a bit

of a bind right now

and I could really

use your help.

I've never said

that to anyone before,

at least, not with

my clothes on.

Why me?

Because, you're...

...different.

I knew the moment

I first met you

You're someone

I could trust

So when I ask

you, please believe me

It's something

that you must

And though your

questions might persist

Even after we

have kissed

They'll be answered

by...

These lips

that never lie

What I must tell you

won't be easy

For you to understand

The trouble

I have gotten into

Was totally unplanned

If you provide

the help I need

cross my heart when

we succeed

You can satisfy...

These lips

that never lie

I'd never deceive you

like a common tramp

And I swear I'll

relieve you...

Wait, I'm getting

a cramp!

But first I must

complete my mission

'Cause that is

why I'm here

So listen close

and pay attention

I'll make it

very clear

Just save

the universe with me

And I guarantee

you'll be

Compensated by...

These lips

that never lie

Okay.

You talked me

into it.

Now, what's

this all about?

The Ghastly love

of Johnny X.

Him again?

What's he got

that I haven't got?

And what makes that creep so

all-powerful over you?

Johnny comes from a

place... very far from here.

He was powerful,

even there.

One day he came to us

with this dastardly device.

He called it

the resurrection suit.

When he put on that suit

he could control anyone,

especially if they're wired

to receive the frequency

of his brainwaves.

You poppin' pills?

I was his

first subject.

What are those?

What do you think?

Implants?

No, they're real,

Chip.

You wanna touch 'em?

No, no, no-

I know what those are.

I meant those

other...

things.

How do you think he forced

me out of the car?

But, all he

had was a glove.

That's why he could only make me

do nasty things with one hand.

So this suit

really does exist?

Be careful!

If this is what

you say it is,

how in the world did you

get him to give it to you?

I didn't.

I pinched it.

All except for

the glove.

Just save

the universe with me

And I guarantee

you'll be

Compensated by...

These

lips that never

These lips that

never

These lips

that never lie!

Welcome to my

little corner of paradise.

Nice digs.

They were gonna

wreck this place.

Yeah, bang, zoom!

Tear it down, until Lil and

I stepped in to saved it.

Nice stepping.

Nearly broke my heart

to think of...

the money-making

potential of this place

at the mercy of those

big balls.

Wrecking balls.

So, we just borrowed some money,

and whammo, here we are.

Whammo- Broke!

Yeah, that's all very

interesting

but I'm still not sure why we

bothered to show up for class.

So cut to the chase, see,

or we're droppin' out, you dig?

Spill it.

I suppose that all of you

are aware, indeed,

quite paralyzed with fear,

over the recent disappearance

of a certain cactal crooner.

The Man

with the Grin?

The very same.

He's one of the reasons

I came here.

He sure is. One of the

reasons we all came here.

Well, stay close.

And no flash photography,

please.

We're still

rehearsing.

I saw you

standing there

With the moonlight

in your hair

And I smiled and sighed

And said

that's for me

That's for me

I heard no

other sound

When my heart began
