Series opening montage and theme song.
If you're looking for me,
You better check under the sea,
'cause that is where you'll find me,
Underneath the sea, lab,
Underneath the water,
Sea lab, at the bottom of the sea.
Sealab 2021 logo. The flipping number 1 makes an alien growling sound.
Bridge
Murphy is watching the screen at Sparks' console, and holding a remote control.. The screen displays a clip from "The Brak Show."
Zorak: (on screen) Let's go get some beer.
Brak: (on screen) I don't know, Zorak, I don't think my folks'd want me drinkin' beer.
Zorak: (on screen) That's why we're doin' it.
Brak: (on screen) Oh, alright.
Murphy changes the channel. Now he's watching "Space Ghost, Coast to Coast."
Space Ghost: (on screen) That is Ol' Kentucky Shark, and he has been there.
Murphy changes it again. Now it's "Aqua Teen Hunger Force."
Meatwad: (on screen) But you swimmin' right now.
Master Shake: (on screen) What I'm doing is merely swirling the water about! That's not a crime!
Frylock: (on screen) Uhh, Shake, we've swam enough now...
Murphy: Heh-heh-heh, that darn cup.
He changes it again. Now it's the video feed from the Reactor Room, and a shaking, panicky Hesh.
Oh.. hey, Hesh, what's up?
Hesh: (on screen) The huge monster's still on the loose!! He's killing everybody!!
We hear hideous growling in the background.
Murphy: Uh-huh.
Hesh: Hesh fears for life!!
Reactor Room
Hesh is shaking as alien growls and human cries for help are heard in the background.
Crewman: (off screen) Hesh!
Hesh: Oh jeez!
Crewman: (off screen) Help!
Hesh: Oh jeez! Da** you, monster!!
Bridge
Murphy and Sparks watch Hesh's transmission at Sparks' console.
Murphy: Hey, what's that all about?
Sparks: The monster, sir.
Murphy looks blank.
Ate half your crew, cracked open their bones, sucked out the marrow..?
Murphy: Shut up.
The door shooshes open, and Marco enters.
Marco: The Hell-spawn fiend has struck again! Pod Six is a bloodbath!
Murphy: What the heck's going on around here?
Marco: The monster. Don't you remember, sir? It all started last week!
Ripple-dissolve to Marco, standing in the exact same place, but with a big, brown, handlebar moustache.
Marco: A monster has entered Sealab! He's killing everyone in sight!
Murphy sports an identical moustache, only his is white.
Murphy: Aaaaah! Ready my escape pod!
Sparks, predictably, has the same moustache, in red.
Sparks: No good, it's smashed the escape pods! We're trapped!
Murphy: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah -
Ripple-dissolve back to present-day Murphy, still screaming.
Murphy: - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Whew, oh yeah, now I remember. So, uh, (he makes a lip-popping noise) uh, where are we on that?
Marco: On the flesh-eating monster?
Murphy: The what?
Marco: The bloodsucking alien!!
Murphy: Ha ha, I know, heh, gotcha!
A series of growls and screams is heard, and Sparks' screen shows another victim of the monster, which is seen as a transparent, shimmering, green cloaked-Predator shape.
Sparks: Monster just got another one!
Murphy: The what?
Marco: Please, stop saying "the what" when we say "the monster!"
(Pregnant pause. Murphy narrows his eyes.)
Murphy: ...The what?
Marco: Captain!! For God's sakes!!
Murphy notices the screen.
Murphy: (shushing Marco) Buh-buh-buh... monster's on!
Quinn enters.
Quinn: I may have a plan to kill the monster. I got some of its DNA off of Archie's bones, and we just might be able to kill it if we change Sealab's atmosphere! Sparks, -
Sparks: Already on it! Hesh, come in!
Sparks tunes in the Reactor Room. Hesh is still ranting.
Hesh: (on screen) ..When I find you, I'm gonna... tickle your insides -
Sparks: Hesh.
Hesh: (on screen) - with all Hesh's fingers!!
Sparks: Hesh!
Hesh: (on screen) I'm gonna pull your legs off!! And I'm gonna -
Sparks: HESH!!
Hesh: (on screen, suddenly calmly) What?
Sparks: Shut your hatch!
Hesh: (on screen) Okay.
Quinn: Hesh, reduce the oxygen levels by 80 percent!
Hesh: (on screen) Okay.
Reactor Room
Hesh moves a slider switch up. The hiss of rushing gas is heard.
Bridge
Quinn: And triple the helium levels.
Reactor Room
Hesh: Hanh.. huh..
Hesh moves what appears to be the same slider switch back down. Another hiss.
Quinn: (on transmission) I said triple the helium! Triple it, da** you!
Hesh: Okay.
Hesh slides the switch back up again. More hissing.
Bridge
Hesh: (on screen) Hanh.. huh..
Quinn: You see, the monster's lungs..
Quinn's voice starts to raise in pitch, as the helium levels in the atmosphere rise.
..they won't be able to process the helium. So his cell walls are gonna begin to collapse -
Murphy: (high-pitched helium voice) Ha ha, listen to your - oh my God, listen to my voice! (smiling) Hello, my name is Mister Squeaky!
Quinn: (even higher-pitched) Captain, please!! This is serious! Hesh, gimme a reading!
Murphy: Oh, yeah, we gotta hear what Hesh sounds like!
Hesh: (on screen, and seriously high-pitched) Uhmm, it's yellow..
The crew, watching Hesh, erupts into uncontrollable laughter.
Reactor Room
Hesh watches a gauge on a console. Back on the bridge, the crew laughs harder the more Hesh speaks.
Hesh: (amazingly squeaky) ..Now it's completely red.. yellow again, and... look at this crazy thing go...
A green cloaked-predator arm grabs Hesh from behind and pulls him off screen, where Hesh does some of the highest-pitched screaming in history. The bridge crew is still laughing.
The monster slides the switch back up, and the atmosphere is returned to normal.
Bridge
Sparks: (gradually returning to normal pitch) What a bust. Hey, you got any ideas that don't suck?
Quinn: (still laughing) A-ha, a-ho, oh ho-ho-ho, oh-ho-ho, oh-hooo, ohh... hey! Old Gus has seen a lotta weird stuff. Maybe he can help.
Tank Room
Quinn enters. Stormy and Debbie, in scuba gear, are at the edge of the pool.
Quinn: Hey, have you two seen Gus?
Stormy: No. Just his bloody wetsuit.
Debbie: And what we think was a nose.
Stormy: Eeugh.
Quinn: Well, we gotta find him. Or what's left of him.
Stormy: Great idea! We'll look in the pool!
Quinn: Wait! He's not in the -
Stormy and Debbie dive into the pool, ditching Quinn.
..pool.
Pool, underwater
Stormy and Debbie float underwater.
Debbie: Ohhh, we shouldn't have ditched Quinn.
Stormy: Hey! He brought this on himself.
Debbie: What?
Stormy: Listen woman, you need to relax.
Debbie: I can't relax around you.
Stormy: Well, you'd better learn. 'Coz if that monster eats everyone else, we'll have to repopulate Sealab.
Debbie: Ohhhhh! That's disgusting.
Stormy: Is it, Debbie? ...Debbie?
Debbie: What??
(Pause.)
Stormy: ...Is it?
Debbie: Yes!! Now quit touching my leg!!
The monster is in the pool. We now see Stormy and Debbie from the monster's point of view, in Predator-vision, all orange body-heat and such, with monster hands reaching out for them.
Stormy: You're touching my leg!
Debbie: Oh my God, the monster!!
Stormy: Save me!!
Stormy and Debbie scream for their lives.
Tank Room
The pool water turns blood-red as Debbie and Stormy scream their last.
Bio Lab
Quinn enters. A doctor, Doctor Virjay, is standing over a patient on a table. The patient's face is blocked from view by an arrangement of sheets. Life support machines and a soothing minuet are heard in the background.
Doctor Virjay is a jolly, mustachioed fellow in surgeon's scrubs who speaks in an East Indian accent.
Quinn: Yo, Doc! Have you seen Gus?
Virjay: Ohhh, goodness. Come on in. He is right here.
The patient is Gus. Quinn can see what we can't, and is suitably disgusted.
Quinn: Augghh!! Ohh!! AUGGGGHHH!!
Virjay: Just talk towards the hole in his forehead.
Quinn: Ohhhhh..
Virjay: That's his new ear.
Quinn: Shouldn't he be in surgery?
Virjay: Just came from surgery! Twelve hours.
Quinn: Where's his.. face?
Quinn: Right. (to Gus) Gus, you're the only one to face the monster and live. ...Kinda. What can you tell us? How can we defeat him?
Gus' reply comes in hideous, unintelligible gurgling, gagging, and bubbling throat noises. Quinn listens attentively.
Right..
More horrid gurgling from Gus.
Mm-hm..
More gurgling. Doctor Virjay watches with interest. More burbling.
Uh-huh..
More gurgling.
I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
Still more gurgling.
Right..
Gus is still gurgling away.
Sure..
Even more gurgling.
Mm-hm..
Even more gurgling and gagging.
Sure..
Gurgling and more gurgling.
Yes..! It's just crazy enough to work! Thanks, Gus!
Gus gurgles a question.
No! No, no.. you look good! (grimacing) Lookin' good... Lookin' good, Gus... Good lookin' Gus.
Quinn quickly backs out of the room. Gus gurgles something to Doctor Virjay.
Virjay: Yes, I'm sure you're quite thirsty indeed. But until the sutures have -
Suddenly, we see Doctor Virjay in Predator-vision.
- Ohhhhh, heavens! Welcome to my humble surgery, you magnificent specimen!
Back in normal vision, the monster spits a green substance into Doctor Virjay's eyes.
Yeeeeeowwwoww! (still jolly) You have spit some sort of corrosive substance directly into my eyes. You are a perfect killing machine! And I for one am honored to be among your helpless - Yeeeooooooow!!
The monster extends a curved blade from its arm, and goes to work on Virjay off-screen. Virjay is still flattering the monster in between screams and slices.
Corridor
Marco is driving a go-cart toward the Bio Lab.
Marco: Hey, hang tough Doc! I'll give that monster a lethal dose of vitamin M! (singing the CHiPS theme) Dunn, dunn, da-dun daaaa...
The go-cart's headlights begin flashing red and blue like police lights, and a siren starts up. Marco drives off-screen.
�Ay! �Chupacabra! �Ay! My face! �Mi cara! Aaaagh!!
The go-cart is driven back on screen by the monster, police lights still flashing.
Bridge
Sparks and Murphy watch the monster on-screen.
Murphy: (sarcastic) Ohh, way to go, Marco! Now the da** thing's got wheels!
Reactor Room
Quinn and Dolphin Boy are talking. Dolphin Boy chitters in his dolphin-speak.
Quinn: (reassuringly) That's why I'm putting you in here. It's the safest place. Now, I've gotta go, and get rid of that mean old monster.
Dolphin-speak.
Ah, don't worry about me, I'll be back! Who's your number one buddy, huh? Huh? Who's number one?
Dolphin-speak.
Okay.
Dolphin-speak.
Sure! We'll go see the turtles, I promise. Now, just to be extra safe, I need you to put on that life jacket.
More dolphin-speak, and a zip as Dolphin Boy puts on a vest that turns out to be made entirely of meat, tied around the middle with sausages.
Hey, lookin' sharp!
Quinn winks. Dolphin Boy says something in return.
Bridge
Quinn, Murphy, and Sparks watch the video feed from the reactor room on Sparks' console.
Murphy: So.. it's just us three, and the fat kid?
Quinn: Yeah, but don't worry. This plan is fool-proof.
Murphy: How's that go again?
Quinn: Using Dolphin Boy as bait, we lure the monster into the reactor core.
Sparks: Nice touch with the meat vest!
Dolphin Boy, on-screen, chitters something.
That's right, fat stuff! Shake those chins!
Murphy: What about little butter-chubs, there?
Quinn: Who cares?
Murphy: Right! Sparks, can you get a wider angle on that fat little pumpkin?
Sparks' console appears to be covered in brown goo.
Sparks: (disgusted) Hang on, somebody spilled, aw, Chok'lit Chip Juice on my electronics over here!
Murphy is slurping from a can labeled "Chok'lit Chip Juice."
I just gotta - gzzzzz!!
Sparks touches a knob on his console, and gets violently electrocuted. He slumps over his console, dead. The picture disappears from the monitor.
Murphy: Jeez, way to go, Sparks! You broke the monitor, and you're dead! Happy?
One final bolt of electricity zaps through Sparks' body, causing him to twitch. The picture of Dolphin Boy returns.
Oh, okay, that fixed it.
The monster joins Dolphin Boy in the reactor room.
Djsh!! He's - look, look, look, he's taking the bait!
Reactor Room
The monster confronts Dolphin Boy. For the alien-growling and dolphin-speak impaired, their speech is displayed in subtitles.
Dolphin Boy: [Are you going to eat me?]
Monster: [Well, that's kinda what I do.]
Dolphin Boy: [How come?]
Monster: [Gosh... nobody ever asked me that. They just scream at me. And all that screaming really upsets me. So I eat them.]
Dolphin Boy: [No one is ever nice to me, either. It's because I'm... fat.]
Monster: [Hey, now... you're not fat. You're husky.]
Dolphin Boy: [Thanks. You're nice.]
Monster: [Will you be my... friend?]
Dolphin Boy: [Yes! Yes!]
The monster and Dolphin Boy reach out to touch fingertips, ET-style The monster seems to hesitate.
Bridge
The crew watch the monster and Dolphin Boy on the monitor.
Murphy: Look! The monster's repulsed by the very fatness of Dolphin Boy's touch!
Quinn: But Captain! This -
Murphy: Buh-buh-buh! Don't you get it? All we have to do is get disgustingly fat! Then, the monster won't eat us. To the pudding vats!!
Reactor Room
Dolphin Boy and the monster touch fingertips, and there's a spark. Dolphin Boy grimaces in pain, his fingertip burnt and blackened.
Dolphin Boy: [Ow! You burned my finger you ugly stupid stinking monster!]
Monster: [Oh, no! I'm sorry. Sorry you're so freaking fat!]
Dolphin Boy: [You said I was husky!]
Monster: [Guess I was blinded by your fat.]
Dolphin Boy: [I thought we were friends.]
Monster: [Fat makes you think crazy things.]
The monster dissolves to a beam of light, and zaps away.
Corridor
Quinn and Murphy are in the corridor outside the Mess Hall.
Quinn: I don't know about your plan to get really fat, sir. I think -
Murphy: Quinn!
Quinn: Yes, sir?
Murphy: Is there ever a bad time for pudding?
(Pause.)
Quinn!
Quinn: (exasperated) ..What?
Murphy: Is there?
Fade to black.
Caption:
33 months later...
Mess Hall
Murphy and Quinn, disgustingly fat and shirtless, are sitting at a buffet table piled high with food. They're dutifully stuffing their faces.
Murphy: Hey. Try one of those hams. There stuffed with hot wings!
Quinn: Captain, I can't keep eatin' like this. And for all we know the monster's long gone.
Murphy: Hey! The only thing I wanna hear outta you is "mmm, mmm, mmm..."
Quinn: Yes, sir. (He belches loudly.) Too bad about Dolphin Boy, though.
Murphy: Oh, yeah, he tasted terrible.
Murphy and Quinn erupt into jolly laughter. Suddenly, Quinn grimaces.
Quinn: Ooh, ooh, ooh, stop! My left arm is tingling!
Murphy: Uhh, maybe this'll help! (He farts loudly, and laughs.)
Quinn: Seriously! I'm having... a heart attaaaaaaaa...
Quinn falls off his chair with a loud thump.
Murphy: Quinn?
Murphy wheels his chair over to Quinn's inert body, putting his arm around it.
If you don't want me to eat you, say something!
(Pause.)
