No, I'm a journalism student.

You study journalism.

Well, if you...

Have you ever been

dematerialized before?

No.

No?

Well, there's nothing to be afraid of.

I'm just going to agitate some of

your molecules and split them apart.

It's not gonna hurt.

I just ate.

Is this gonna make me...

- You just ate.

- She said she...

I'll do the jokes, Sondra.

Now, Sondra, I'm going to

ask you to step into that box

and I'm gonna have your molecules split up.

I'm gonna split 'em up.

It's gonna be very painless.

And I'm gonna put you

back together again.

Don't tickle me.

Tell them what you just said to me.

You got to hear this.

Tell them what you said to me.

- No, tell them, tell them.

- No.

She said, "Don't tickle me."

God bless you, sweetheart.

You got a fantastic sense of humor.

You know if more people in the

world had a sense of humor,

we would not be

in the state we are in today.

I kid you not.

Get in the box. Get in the box, Sondra.

Go ahead.

In the box. Go ahead. Get in the box.

Get in the box. Hurry up.

I'm going to agitate the molecules now.

Miss Sondra Mandelbaum.

Pransky.

Pransky, Mandelbaum.

What's the...

We take off the same holidays.

Doesn't matter.

Get in the box, sweetheart,

and don't be scared.

You in there?

You're a journalist, right?

Oh, my God.

What are you doing in here?

Aren't you a journalist? Yeah?

I mean, those are the vibrations

I've been concentrating on.

Are you ready, Sondra?

I'm Joe Strombel, reporter,

and I have the scoop of the decade

about the Tarot Card murder case.

I mean if it pans out,

it'll be fantastic.

It's got everything.

Big names, murder, prostitution.

I'm going to start agitating

your molecules.

You're a journalist.

I've got some information for you.

Big story.

Big, big, big scoop.

Peter Lyman...

Come on out, Sondra. Come on out, sweetheart.

Come on out, sweetheart.

The trick's over.

It's over. It's over.

She's a little stunned.

She's never been on stage before.

So, you know...

She's a little stunned.

Are your molecules okay?

Is everything feeling good?

You all in shape?

You got all your parts?

That's fantastic.

Okay, Sondra, take your seat.

Go back to your seat.

Go back to your seat.

Go ahead. She's great.

Let's hear it for her.

She's great.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Go back to your seat.

Will you take out

the blue light, please?

'Cause I'm getting a completely

negative vibration from the blue.

It's not right.

There's a lady to see you, sir.

Hey, Mandelbaum!

From the school newspaper,

am I right?

No, Pransky.

Listen, I have to talk to you

about something very serious.

When you put me

inside that box...

I smell a frivolous lawsuit here.
