[ cut to two women talking ]

Woman #1: Oh, I’m cold! Turn up the heat! And have the maid clean up the house! It’s a mess!

Woman #2: Oh, that’s a good idea. We ought to throw out this trash, too.. but first, I’d like a glass of water.

Voiceover: The following exchange would be taking place in theBizarro World:

Woman #1: Oh, I’m cold! Turn up the air conditioning! And have the maid dirty up the house!

Woman #2: Good idea! And throw away all these diamonds! But first, me thirsty. Me want a glass of nice, dry sand.

Voiceover: Oh, no! Looks like those Bizarros have gotten itexactly backwards! Well, it’s a crazy place.. As a matter of fact, right now in the Bizarro World, Bizarro Jerry Falwell is fighting to get more sex and violence on TV.

[ cut to Bizarro Jerry Falwell giving a speech ]

Bizarro Jerry Falwell: Good Bizarro American people am tired of bad TV! Look at “Little House on the Prairie”! It am boring! Let’s see Laura’s boobs, then blow up the house!

Voiceover: Pretty wild, huh? But what do you expect of a placewhere the Miss America contest is a search for the ugliest girl? Andwhere, instead of having a Be Kind to Animals Week..

[ cut to Bizarro being mean to animals ]

Bizarro: Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty! [ pulls axe frombehind his back ]

Voiceover: ..they have a Be Cruel to Animals Week. They prefer it, because you only have to have it once. Everything is backwards on this mysterious cube. Black is white. Hello is goodbye. Right is wrong. But even in this strange world, there is one place so bizarre, it scares even them.

Black House Aide #1: Look at all these important papers on his desk.

Throw them away, then we’ll break the windows and put dirt on the floor.

Black House Aide #2: Good idea. [ they begin messing up the Trapezoid Office ] Where am the Bizarro President?

Black House Aide #1: His job in Washington, so of course he inCalifornia.

Black House Aide #2: That don’t make Bizarro sense. Hey! Thismorning, me pull up all those ugly roses in the weed garden and plantbeautiful weeds. [ wipes brow ] Me thirsty. Is there any sand to drink?
