Come on, now.
I'm all dressed up
in my pretty underthings...
and I need a little lip suction.
And now for that mouth.
I'd like to stick my whole head
in your mouth...
and let you suck out
my eyeballs.
I bet you'd like that,
wouldn't you?
What are you hogs looking at?
The show's over! Beat it!
Mortville's up that way!
Follow that dirt road.
Go ahead before
I haul your ass to jail!
I'll take a slice, please.
You want
lemon meringue or chocolate?
Chocolate, honey.
That'll be 10 cents.
Could you recommend
a rooming house for the night?
I don't think I like it here.
It's filthy, and
the people are repulsive.
We have no choice, Peggy,
and it's better than jail.
I'll tell you, Grizelda,
there is something wrong here.
Look around you.
It's a village of idiots.
Somebody help me.
Can't you act normal?
Just act normal for a change.
Please. There must be
I can't go in that hog pen.
Oh, shut up.
Can I help you?
We were raped.
Please, give us shelter.
You were raped?
Look, don't pay
no attention to her.
- We need to rent a room.
- You got money on you?
- I'm a very wealthy woman.
- Yeah, and I'm Cybill Shepherd.
Come on in here.
We might work something out...
That is, if you got money.
My name's Mole McHenry.
I'm Peggy Gravel.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Grizelda Brown.
I'm Peggy's psychiatric nurse.
Room's out back.
Nothing fancy,
but it's a roof over your head.
Come on, I'll show you.
Shh! My girlfriend's
sleeping.
Yeah, you're lucky it's empty.
My last tenant shot himself
in here last night.
That dumb f***
left a mess everywhere.
Damn, it stinks in here.
Well, what do you think?
Do you want it or not?
Will he be removed?
I'll get the stiff out of here,
but don't think I got time...
for all the chores
in the world.
And no linens until
I soak these in cold water.
And we ain't got
no toilets in Mortville.
How do we...
I guess you'll just have
to use your imagination.
I see.
How much cash you got?
Give me that!
Six bucks.
Hey, you are a rich one.
A lottery ticket.
I'll take that, and I'll win it.
What's this? A bank book?
A lot of good
that'll do you here.
There aren't any banks
in Mortville?
There ain't nothing
here, lady.
Nobody's got one red cent
in Mortville...
except for that Queen.
The Queen? Can she help us?
You got a lot to learn
about living in Mortville.
I think we'd like
to take the room.
It's all yours, Sweetheart.
You hungry?
Yeah.
I think I'm going
to eat myself some chow...
and I got a little extra.
Looks like you got
a big appetite.
I'd be happy to help
with the preparation.
This one takes the cake.
