Have you ever wanted to live forever?
Maybe now is your chance.
Scientists in Russia say they're very very close
to unlocking the mysteries of eternal life.
They just have one cabinet, and I quote,
Unless something goes wrong during the experiments, unquote.
Ugh, oh my, what could possibly go wrong
playing around with the mysteries of eternal life?
In international news,
something wicked this way comes.
It's being widely rumored
both in Russia and China
are calling hundreds of thousands of chickens
in an attempt
to halt a new variation
of the so called bird flu.
Now haven't we heard this song and dance before?
Of course, we have.
But this gossip has whispers
of something much more fearful and sinister,
happening here.
Our multitalented sources are working
to confirm the rumors, but where there's smoke,
there usually is a fire.
And in this case, folks,
I'd venture to say it could be a raging inferno.
Now excuse me,
but we have to take
an obscene commercial profit break.
Valentine's Day is just around the corner,
and you're gonna wanna look your very best.
Have you ever wanted your clothes to be a whiter white?
Well, of course, you have.
Love is in the air, folks.
Probation, Dale?
I did the best I could.
You can't be the savior
of the every dog and cat in the city, Max.
Besides, the guy's face was swollen up like a pumpkin.
He deserved it, Dale.
Be that as it may.
To my best friend, protector of small children
and small creatures, great and small.
Hey, what's the difference
between a lawyer and a vampire?
- Aren't you a lawyer? - I'm your lawyer.
That's what's gonna make it funny.
What's the difference between a lawyer and a vampire?
A vampire only sucks blood at night.
Oh, that's funny, Dale.
I got a million of 'em.
That's too bad.
You're drooling. And drooling is normal.
You're normal, max.
You are just a normal guy.
Hard to accept, isn't it?
Incoming.
So are you just gonna stare at me all night
or are you gonna step up to the plate like a real man?
I'll step up to the plate.
I can't believe that line actually worked.

Hey, what's a lawyer's favorite pour-a-cop reception?
- What? - His personality.

- So are you coming in? - I'm not sure.
- It's been awhile for me. - Oh, Max,
it's like riding a bike.
You know how to ride a bike, don't you?
I was the bicycle king of my block, if that counts?
Oh, the whole block?
- Oh yeah. - Wow.
I'm impressed.
I think you should bring that whole bicycle king inside.
Will I see you again?
Wild horses couldn't drag me away.
Has anyone even taken the time to read this?
Hello?
Anyone?

"A horse, a horse,
my kingdom for a horse."
Mm-hmm.

And you must be the professor.
Yes, but of course, you are.

can drive a grown man to cry.
Are we ready to shoot this?
Are you guys ready up there?
Okay.
All right, quite on the set.

uh, especially, the ill educated.
But more importantly,
