SANDURZ Pardon me, sir. I have an idea. Corporal, get me the video
cassette of Spaceballs-the Movie.
CORPORAL Yes, sir.
CORPORAL walks to a wall labeled, "Mr. Rental"; The wall
opens. He looks through the selections.
HELMET Colonel Sandurz, may I speak with you, please?
SANDURZ Yes, sir.
HELMET (lifts up mask) How could there be a cassette of Spaceballs-
the Movie. We're still in the middle of making it.
SANDURZ That's true, sir, but there's been a new breakthrough in
home-video marketing.
HELMET There has?
SANDURZ Yes. Instant cassettes. They're out in stores before the
movie is finished.
HELMET Naaaaa.
CORPORAL Here it is, sir. Spaceballs.
SANDURZ Good work, Corporal. Punch it up.
CORPORAL starts the tape. It starts on the FBI Warning.
SANDURZ Started much too early. Prepare to fast-forward.
CORPORAL Preparing to fast-forward.
SANDURZ Fast-forward.
CORPORAL Fast-forwarding, sir.
Starts fast-forwarding through the ludicrous speed scene. Helmet is
thrown into the panel at a high-speed.
HELMET Nnnnno. Go past this, past this part. In fact, never play
this again.
SANDURZ Try here. Stop.
The movie stops at the exact same thing that is actually happening
now. HELMET looks at the camera, then he turns back to the monitor.
SANDURZ looks at the camera when HELMET looks back at the monitor,
then he looks back at the monitor. HELMET looks at the camera when
SANDURZ looks back at the monitor. When HELMET turns back, he waves
his hand. He turns back to the camera.
HELMET What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the
movie?
SANDURZ Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens
now, is happening now.
HELMET What happened to then?
SANDURZ We passed then?
HELMET When?
SANDURZ Just now. We're at now, now.
HELMET Go back to then.
SANDURZ When?
HELMET Now.
SANDURZ Now?
HELMET Now.
SANDURZ I can't.
HELMET Why?
SANDURZ We missed it.
HELMET When?
SANDURZ Just now.
HELMET When will then be now?
