A convertable car drove up and out stepped a cartoon Beatle! George! He said: "It's all in the mind, you know"...
He opened a door and we all looked out. THERE WAS A LOCOMOTIVE HEADED STRAIGHT FOR US! It looked very frightening and the music started to rise to a thrilling cresendo... We, the audience, started to worry about the rapidly approaching destruction and certain death...
THEN GEORGE SLAMMED THE DOOR SHUT! a peaceful silence filled the hallway and we gave a sigh of relief... ahh... that was a close call...
AND THEN THE TRAIN JUST BLASTED RIGHT THRU THE DOOR!
It ran over the cartoon Beatle George and crashed thru the doorway on the opposite side of the hall. There were splintered boards everywhere and Ringo was bleeding profusely... Disaster!
It looked like the end of the line for our lads when suddenly help arrived. Buster Keaton opened another door and held up an ALIEN SOCKET WRENCH! "I've got just the thing you need" he said. "Use this thing to make the film run backwards and we can save the cartoon Beatles." Cartoon John walked over and twisted a knob on the ASW and the train ran backwards into the hall and down the tracks. Lumber healed itself and became a door. Ringo pulled a hole out of his pocket and mopped up all the blood with it. A giant pair of scissors entered the scene and cut the film right between George and his speech balloon. One of the knots from the boards that made up the hallway stepped forward and said "Allow Me to Help, Sir"... They inserted the knot at just the right place and re-ran the scene from the beginning.
Cartoon George said: "It's NOT all in the mind, you know... Really, It's NOT!" And he hung a sign on the door saying... "Do NOT open this door. Use the next one down for Paddington station"

3. Why is Buster Keaton in this scene?
4. Who was that masked man?
5. How do I make that funny sound with my voice...Like I'm in a Firesign Theatre radio drama?
