Allhail themostglorious, themostesteemed,
Oh, enough! Enough, enough! I'm hungover.
- Hyp, did you bring me cough medicine? - That night-light I asked for?
- King, you pussy. [ Laughs ] - Bite me, Poe.
- You set me up! - Easy, pal. [ Chuckles ]
Just coming to congratulateyou. It ain't easy snatching those Exit Passes.
Steve was the last guy to do it, and that must have been 25 years ago.
Why'd you do it, huh? Wh-What did I ever do toyou?
It's nothing personal, Stu, it'sjust we need nightmares-- fresh nightmares.
We'ddie without 'em. That's why we grabbedyourbody.
- I'm no nightmare-maker. - That's the monkey'sjob.
- Monkeybone? What? - [ Laughs Maniacally]
Let's face it, Stu. Nobodywants to be a fiigment. It's a dead-end career.
So he gets fed up, he comes to us with a proposition:
We help him swipeyour body, he helps us get a heap ofbrand-new nightmares!
- News flash, buddy: I'm a cartoonist! -Sure!
Butyou got a girlfriend who's fiigured out the chemical basis ofbad dreams.
Andguess what. Shejust whippedup abigol'batch ofnightmarejuice!
[ Laughing ] Oh, we're predicting record box offiice.
What'spluralfororifice? ''Orifi''? No, I wasn'tina coma!
All right, I was in a coma. It wasn't like I was ''in a coma'' and goofiing off.
I was thinking up hilarious new bits the whole time!
[ Laughing Wildly]
You see, it's all synergy. The show synergizes the strip.
The strip synergizes the merchandising.
The merchandising synergizes the religion.
And the religion synergizes the Barbara Walters special!
And then, baby, we are all in...
the United Empire of Monkeybonia!
No, really. He's ready to merchandise, yeah.
We gotta move on this, so get the burger guy, the toy guys...
the toy guys and the lunchbox people in here--
Herb, get offthat phone right now. You're exploiting him!
- Am not. - Herb, he's not himself.
He's your friend. He trusts you, and you're taking advantage ofhim!
- Am not. I'm on the phone! - Are too!
- My cocina. - Hey, hey.
My refrigerator, where I store and chill my food.
And this-- the oven, where I cook my food.
And ifyou'll step this way, you'll fiind my dining room, where I eat my food.
What is all this stuffabout merchandising? You hate merchandising.
I know, baby, I do. But look at it from another angle:
There's a potload ofmoney here.

Nowhere. I was asleep.
Honey, don't lie to me. I knowyou went out.
Nope. Not me. You must be dreaming.
I know what this is about. You've been mad because I haven't proposed toyou.
Oh, go on, admit it!
You've been giving me the stinkeye ever since that business with the banner.
- You, you and that dog. - I have not been giving the stinkeye.
You're giving me the stinkeye right now.
Stu, you're wearing shoes and a poncho...
with no pants, in bed.
[ Mutters ] I know.
[DistantScreaming]
Well, did you all have sidekicks--
fiigments, monkeys?
A raven.
Mine was a dog. Man's best friend. [ Scoffs ]
I went throughhell toget thatExitPass.
And who got to use it? Cujo.
Miley, you got a visitor!
Kitty!
Oh God, Stu,
I'm so sorry.
I wanted to tell you what was going on.
I really, really liked you.
Thankyou, Kitty, but that doesn't matter right now.
The woman I love is living with a horny little monkey that looks like me.
- What a lucky girl. - Kitty, listen.
Is thereany wayIcangetamessage to warnherabout whatMonkeyboneis up to?
- Time's up! Break it up! Let's move! - No, no. No!

Here's another thing. The Natural History Museum is kicking off...
a fund-raising campaign and wanna know ifyou can appear at a benefiit.
Oh, I get it. We give the public the impression...
that we're doing something charitable-- brilliant!
Yes. Yes, that's it exactly.
Now, I thinkyou remember Bill here from Bazoom Toys.
We have a little something here we thinkyou mightjust like.
It'saprototype. Codename::LittleJack Horner.
Go ahead, pull out his thumb.

- Uh,Jerry? - Sure.
- Yeah, yeah, I guess we could. - All right!
You've gotyourself a deal!
- [ Trumpeting ] - [ All Laughing ]
Shall we shake on it?
Shake on it? That's not the way we do things in Monkey Land.
In Monkey Land, we rub our bottoms together.
Huh?
You heard the man. Getyour asses on the table.
[ Cackling ]
The thing is, I'm responsible for the way he's acting.
It's the nightmarejuice. It's gotta be.
Julie, that stuff probably saved his life.
He's not Stu anymore.
The Stu I love is gone.
He spends all his time in the garage. He says that he's... autographing.
[ Laughing ]
Nightmare in a butt!
- [ Trumpets ] - [ Laughing ]
-[BusterBarking] - Huh?
I think I hear a guinea pig.
[BusterContinues Barking]
Listen, let's bring him in for some tests.
I guarantee you're overreacting.
[ Buster Barking ]
Oh, actually, no, I don't think I'm overreacting.

[ Growling, Barking ]
- [ Trumpets ] - [ Whimpers ]
Sweet dreams, you little bastard.
[Cats Meowing]
[Hypnos]Dog dreams? This is completelyhumiliating.
That stinkin' monkey. I can't believe it.
We give him a body, and he sends us dogs.
Shh.
Let's not think about dogs.
Let's think about... pussycats.
Oh. [ Laughs ]
Oh, what a luscious surprise. [ Laughs ]
[ Both Laughing ]
So, I thought, ''What the hell. I'm a big celebrity now.
I can get all the chicks I want. Why get married?''
On the other hand, ifyou are married, no more stinkeye.
Plus, they can't testify againstyou.
Testify about what?
[ Phone Ringing ]
- Hello. -Julie, it's Hutch.
- Oh, Hutch. What? - The nightmarejuice-- it's gone.
Somebody switched it for a beaker ofgrape Kool-Aid.
Grape Kool-Aid? But who'd wanna--
Stu, areyou sure youjust wanna give these away?
- It seems wrong. - Go, go, go, go!
Stu.
Stu!
Shh. Sh-sh-sh-sh.
Here. You'll need these foryour trip.
What?
And this.
Kitty, you can't do this. You're gonna get in trouble.
You're the one true-hearted man I ever met.
You fiind a way back to that girl ofyours, and you make her happy.
Thankyou.
What about the guard?
I'll take care ofthat rat.
[ Purring ]
Okay, Stu. I'll seeyou tomorrow.
Good-bye, Kitty.

What kind ofidiot sneaks into the Land of Death twice?
One that likes a good stretchin'? [ Laughs ]
Shut up. I wanna hearwhat he has to say.
Now, Death, I knowyou're mad at me, and I don't blameyou.
But we're both mad at DownTown, and we're both mad atyour brother, Hypnos.
So nowyou're gonna tell me it's all his fault and you were completely innocent.
No, I'm not gonna tell you that. I wanted that Exit Pass.
I wanted it bad enough that I had to stareyou right in the face to get it.
Why?
Because I--
I got a girl up there, and I shoulda--
I-I never--
I wanna tell her that I love her.
Oh, gosh, helovesher. Thatchanges everything.
- Ow! Okay, uncle! - Sit down. Sit down right now.
Down, down! Anddon'tsayanother word.
Look.
I'm a simple person. I do an honest day's work.
Why does everybody make it so hard for me?
You're switching bodies. You're stealing Exit Passes.
I work a long enough day as it is.
Look, you can take my soul. I-I don't need it.
You can turn me into a paper doll. Just, please, give me one hour.
That'sit.
[ Assistant ] Hey, I love my girlfriend.
Well...
you're gonna need a new body.
You know...
I don't generally do this, but...
I really like your comic strip.
- Really? - Yeah, it slays me.
Death, coming from you, that's, you know, that's-- Whew!
It's nothin'. But turn around before I change my mind.
- Huh? Oh. - Turnaround.
All right, could you bend over, Stu, please?
- Huh? Bend over? - Yeah,justbendover.
All right. Bye-bye.
