The Brak Show - Episode 16
Runaway
Brak's Dad: Darling, look at my knees. What do
you think?
Brak's Mom: I think I've seen your knees, dear.
Brak's Dad: Well you need to look again and look
very closely this time. One of them is shaved. Do you like the shiny smooth
one, or the hairy jungle one?
Brak: Whoa, hold the phone, Jackson! Dad, what's
with the knees? They're freaking me out, man, with the short pants and the knees...
Brak's Dad: Why, what's wrong with it?
Brak: Oh, oh, nothing. It just looks like I walked
into the knobby knee circus!
Brak's Dad: What!?
Brak:
Step right up please
And behold the knobby knees
Of the king of the kneebones.
Better stand back twenty feet
Or these knobby knees will eat you up.
Brak's Dad: That's enough!
Brak:
One is bald and one is hairy.
Hide the children, it's too scary!
Brak's Dad: Brak!
Brak: What?
Brak's Dad: I've heard quite enough from your opinions.
How dare you walk into this kitchen and ridicule the knees of your father? You
have hurt me AND my feelings.
Brak: Aw, I was just funnin' ya, Dad. I actually
think your knees are pretty cool.
Brak's Dad: Too late! You've made the knees cry!
I can feel their tears rolling down my shins and filling my shoes.
Brak's Dad: Let me tell you a story about a fish
I once caught in a 37,000 degree lake.
Brak's Mom: You've never been fishing!
Space Ghost: Sure he has!
Brak's Mom: How would you know?
Space Ghost: I went with him. It was in the future.
Your husband and I caught several large fish.
Brak's Dad: I'm sure we did. Or should I say, I'm
sure we WILL.
Space Ghost: It was one of the best times I've
ever had...until SOMEBODY suggested we go swimming.
Brak's Dad: Oh, that sounds like fun.
Space Ghost: Yes, great fun, jumping into a 37,000
degree lake armed with nothing but tiny futristic underwater fish grenades.
...It was my idea.
Brak's Dad: Well, what happens?
Space Ghost: Luckily the extreme heat causes the
lake to evaporate and we fall on to a soft cushion of beautiful mermaids who
kiss us very, very much. End of story...or is it?
