Things you'll never hear 'From Beyond' characters say


Comedy thread, modeled after posts elsewhere:


Crawford(upon seeing the basement monster): Oh my God! It's a giant garbage bag with teeth!

Crawford: My God Edward what have you become?
Praetorious: Your guess is as good as mine.

Crawford: My God Edward what have you become?
Praetorious: I have no idea. One minute I'm the mad scientist of the hour and the next I'm a refuge from Stan Winston's creature shop.

Crawford:...what have you become?
Praetorious: Myself.
Crawford: So you're really a half-man, half-wrinkled slimey whatchamacallit?

Praetorious: We are the most powerful being in the universe!
Crawford: First off, you're using the wrong pronoun. Second, that's a pretty big assumption: have you met every being in the universe?

Crawford:...what have you become?
Praetorious: Myself.
Crawford: So you're really that? God that must suck!

Crawford:...what have you become?
Praetorious: Myself.
Crawford: You mean like your true inner self? That? I knew you were a pervert but God in Heaven! I don't even want to know what goes on in that twisted mind of yours! Ever!

Crawford: Catherine don't go near him, that forehead might attack you!

Catherine: What are you going to do to me?
Praetorious: I...I don't know. I didn't think I'd get this far.

Praetorious: You whore!
Catherine: Great. I'm being lectured on decency by a sex-crazed BDSM pervert.

Praetorious: Look at me, I can peel my face off!
Crawford: Awesome!

Bubba(when the bugs attack him): Oh sure pick on the black guy!

Bubba(to Praetorious): I'm not afraid of you! In my youth I took on the living dead!

Praetorious: When you are transformed you'll see the world as you've never seen it before.
Crawford: You mean bright colors and hallunciations? I see those all the time! You don't need a mutation for that.

Bubba: Oh, that flashlight is shining on me. I think I'm just going to stand here and see where the bugs are going with this.(bugs start eating him) Ok well ouch then.

Crawford(upon seeing the basement monster): We're about to eaten by rejects from the Dune movie.

Praetorious(upon Crawford's reaction to his partially-altered form): What's wrong with my face? Sure my hair is all aging 80's rock band-ish, my teeth are somewhat sharp, and half my face looks like melted candle wax but other than that...

Crawford: Edward you fool! You were never that good at getting women and that was before you changed? What in God's name makes you think looking like THAT will help you pick up chicks?

Crawford(upon seeing Praetorious's freaky-haired self): It looks like Doc's spent way much time in the DeLorean again.


All of these were made up by me except for the Bubba flashlight joke which is from the "Future War" episode of "Mystery Science Theater 3000".

Crawford (to Praetorious-Monster): "You seem to have neglected brushing your teeth. May I suggest a fluoride treatment?"

"Scientists make these deductions by examining a rat, or your landlord who won't cut the rent."

reply

"This is some good pineal! I'm trippin' balls!"

The real trick to life is not to be in the know, but to be in the mystery. -Fred Alan Wolf

reply

Praetorious (seeing Crawford bald): "You look familiar."
Crawford: "I am Robocop. Your move creep."

"Scientists make these deductions by examining a rat, or your landlord who won't cut the rent."

reply

Ha, ha, that awesome!

"Well I Won't back Down...No I Won't Back Down..."

reply

Praetorious (to Crawford as he powers up the Resonator): "If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 rotations per minute, you're gonna see some serious *beep*!"

"Fluoride doesn't prevent tooth decay. It does render teeth detectable by spy satellite." -JL

reply

Crawford: "Mmm, this is really delicious." [closely examines what he's eating, then shrugs nonchalantly] "Yes, delicious." [continues eating]

reply

Praetorious: "Just think...in a couple of years we'll be famous enough to appear on the same show!"
Crawford: "Important scientists of the 21st century?"
Praetorious: "No, DS9."

"Fluoride doesn't prevent tooth decay. It does render teeth detectable by spy satellite." -JL

Bubba: When there's no more room in perceptible reality, The eels will walk the earth.

I love to love my Lisa.

reply

Crawford (upon seeing the basement monster): "Okay, who forgot to take the trash out again? Bag's been here so long it's achieved sentience."

"Fluoride doesn't prevent tooth decay. It does render teeth detectable by spy satellite." -JL

This is taken from an adaptation of a certain song from West Side Story and is inspired by a certain scene in the film Anger Management.

(Pretorius and Crawford are fighting for control and are now nothing more than one huge mass of flesh whose heads are now fleshy skulls trying to bite each other to death. They then stop and turn to attention to Katherine before she can jump out the window. The bomb also suddenly malfunctions and doesn't explode for some reason.)

Pretorius:

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty, and witty and bright
And I pity
Any guy who isn't me tonight

I feel charming
Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real

See the pretty guy on the floor here?
Who can that attractive guy be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty mess
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty, wonderful sex toy!

Crawford:

Have you met my good friend Pretorius,
The craziest guy on the block?
You'll know him the minute you see him
He's the one who is in an advanced state of shock

He thinks he's in love
He thinks he's in Spain
He isn't in love
He's merely insane

It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas

Keep away from him!
Send for Chino
This is not the Mar-
Ia we know!

Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well bred and mature
And out of his mind!

Miss America! Bravo! Speech! Speech!

Pretorius:

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organised to honour me

Crawford:

Lalalala la la la la lala!

Pretorius:

I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign

Crawford:

Lalalala la la la la lala!

Pretorius:

See the pretty guy on the floor there?

Crawford:

What floor where?

Pretorius:

Who can that attractive guy be?

Crawford:

Which? What? Where? Whom?

Pretorius:

Such a pretty face
Such a pretty mess
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!

Crawford:

Such a pretty me!
Such a pretty me!
Such a pretty me!

ALL:

I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty, wonderful sex toy!

(Katherine is bewildered and looks at both like they're out of their damn minds!)
