Bit: REEL TO REAL

Episode: 404- Teenagers From Outer Space

Transcribed by: Tom Carter [Nodakmike@aol.com]

Crow: You know Joel, that old grandpa guy sure was nice to the teenager from outer space by letting him stay in the apartment without having him pay a rent until he got work. A real life Landlord would never do that.

Tom: Why yes, things that happen in the movies are different from what happens in real life.

Joel: Right tom, so from our "Look at the Lighter Side Department," we'd like to introduce a new segment called Reel to Real. Check it out, (to bots) move aside, guys...(holds up sign).

In Reel life...

Tom: You are offered free room and board until you can pay off your rent.

Joel: And in Real life...

Crow: If your are late with one payment, your room is padlocked, and you end up living in a refridgerator box.

Joel: In Reel life...

Tom: Your roomate is a beautiful woman, who fills your life with afternoon swims, moonlit drives, and the promise of romance.

Joel: And in Real life...

Crow: Your roomate is a stinky high school dropout, who fills your life with lice, crusty socks, and burnt cans of spaghettio's.

Joel: In Reel life...

Tom: Your landlord is a rosy-cheeked, cheerful old man.

Joel: And in Real life..

Crow: Your landlord is a butane addict, who sneaks into your room, and searches through your underware drawer.

Joel: In Reel life...

Tom: There is a big fat drunk guy sleeping on your couch.

Joel: And in Real life...

Crow: There is a big fat drunk guy sleeping on your couch. (All laugh)

Joel: These are just some of the diffrences in Reel life and Real life. Stay with us in our "Look at the Lighter Side Department" for some of those everyday befuddlements that come at us in such a humorous way. Like dieting! I just look at a piece of bread and gain five pounds!. Look at Crow! He can eat 10 banana splits and not gain an ounce! I hate him! (Jokingly elbows Crow). And Mondays! What are you gonna do! Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee! (As this sudden attack of lame comments comes over Joel, the bots get increasingly worried and edge away from him). What about starting the car? Have ya thought about it? My hip hurts! Why?
