Gypsy: ...but at Alpine Valley, they did "Love Light" into "Sugaree" into "Dark Star" into "Love Light" into "Sugaree" into "Love Light" into "Dark Star" into...
Mike Nelson: Can anyone tell me why we're dressed like this again?
Tom Servo: Mike, remember, the name of the movie is The Dead Talk Back. We're The Dead, get it?
Gypsy: ...and then the moon came out and it was like Jerry willed it!
Crow T. Robot: Come on Mike, freak freely, dude.
Mike Nelson: Okay, freak freaky freely.

MIKE
Been ridin' on that cosmic freight train
Feelin' bad
And don't you
Come around here
Anymore [to Crow] Take it!
