Be forewarned: Although this episode contains four characters being interviewd, the entire episode only serves to circlejerk about how awesome the Wogglebug is.
[Title Card: FANTASY TONIGHT]
Bugfucker: Hello to all out there. Welcome to a new episode of Fantasy Tonight! Once again, I am your hostess, Cynthia Hanson. Tonight we have four special guests who are visiting from the Land of Oz, they had come to America before, 110 years ago to be exact, where they had many adventures and also some misadventures. Now they have come to visit again for tonight's show. Please welcome the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Jack Pumpkinhead, and our returning guest, Mr. Wogglebug. Welcome to you all here I'm so happy to see you all tonight, and in particular to see you again Mr. Wogglebug.
Bug: Thank you Cynthia. And as you know, I am always happy to see you again as well.
Bugfucker: And of course that isn't to exclude you three though. I've always wanted to meet you also.
Tinman: Thank you so much for inviting us here tonight Cynthia. It does our hearts good, and my own in particular.
Scarecrow: I am happy to be here tonight also. And this is my first time on television, so I'm a little nervous and I hope you don't mind if I fidget a little bit at times.
Pumpkin: I like being here also. And these bright spotlights aren't dangerous for pumpkins, are they?
Bugfucker: No, of course not Jack. And now as I remember, you all had come to America in the early years of the past century so as to explore the US which I'm sure was at the time so much like an alien planet to you all, and also to learn about us and our ways here, and I hope you all did so and enjoyed your visit then.
Bug: Yes, we all did indeed. We learned a lot also, though our lack of experience and knowledge of this queer land of yours did land us in some troubles in the beginning however.
Bugfucker: Well, so I read, and you, Mr. Wogglebug, still was always able to get you and your companions out of the sticky spots at all times being so wise and quick to notice things.
Bug: Yes, that's right. I was indeed. After all, I am not named as "Thoroughly Educated" for nothing, you know! *cackles*
Pumpkin: And I don't know what we would have ever done without him either! He always seemed to know just the right thing to do, and often say.
Bugfucker: And you Scarecrow have always been known for your sharp brains which can think clearly as well. Have you ever been jealous of Mr. Wogglebug because of this?
Scarecrow: Who, me? No! Not at all! Not ever!
Tinman: Come, now, old chum. You might as well just admit it!
Scarecrow: Well...OK then. Yes. I was a little jealous of him at times in the beginning, especially when he would surprise us all with the astonishing things he could accomplish with his education.
Bug: Yes, and I thought so too! I do remember the time when I single-handedly rescued Jack's head from being lost from him when it fell into a deep well, by using ?? powder and thus PROVING my knowledge of chemistry!
Bugfucker: Yes! I read all about that too. And you also proved yourself as having a tender heart as well. I mean, in all the times you helped your companions when they were in trouble and also some of the citizens in America when you saw they needed it.
Bug: Yes I did. But, of course, all of us from Oz are always greatly pleased at the opportunity to do an act of kindness for anyone, whoever it may be.
Tinman: We always follow our hearts, wherever we may go!
Bugfucker: Though there were some times also when you wuld try to do something you thought was kind for someone and the result didn't turn out as well as I remember.
Scarecrow: Yes, that was true also! I remember when I gave an automobile to a little girl, who so desired to have one, and she, uh, wrecked it.
Pumpkin: And I once used the magic we were given for the journey to give a new leg to an old man who only had one leg, but then it turned out to be a terrible mistake to alter him from how he was.
Bugfucker: Yes it usually is not a good thing to alter someone from the way that they have naturally become, especially without their consent of it.
Tinman: How true that is! I too also once gave two young boys each a magic wish to make them happy. But then when I went back to see them later on, I found that one had wished to be a good boy and he had only hurt him, so then his brother had used his wish to take away his wish. I never would have known such a thing could happen.
Bugfucker: Though there were still a number of times where what you meant to do for someone turned out just as you and they wanted it to, right?
Tinman: Oh yes! Sometimes that was the case. I do remember when I saved a small poodle dog's life by rescuing him from a burning boarding house because it was in a place where the firemen couldn't go. The good woman he belonged to was ever so greatful to me.
Bugfucker: Yes I read about that one also and it is true that being made of metal can be much to your advantage sometimes. And you, Mr. Wogglebug, had been successful the MOST times in your acts of charity and acts of kindness towards Americans, right?
Bug: Yes! I suppose I was. I remember when I met a young girl named ?? who badly needed to learn how to cook for her poor family, and so I gave her a magic oven that would magically give her the finest cooking skills imagineable.
Bugfucker: And you were also an encouragement of charity to the beggers who were around at that time also right.
Bug: Well, yes, I suppose I was. I found an old man sitting on the curb of a street one day, and I stood beside him holding up tin cups for people going by to fill with alms. And they did, then I learned, much to my disgust, that this beggar I had helped was, as many others of his time, a con artist!
Bugfucker: I remember! And we still have this problem in some places to this day. Still it shows you were just generous to a fault. Now, tell me, whaet is your favorite episode from your time spent in America in the early 20th century, Wogglebug?
Bug: I suppose that would have to be the time I got a Thanksgiving dinner for a poor little girl's family.
[SCENE CUTS TO MEMORY]
Girl: ;_;
Bug: Here, little one, take my hankerchief, tell me, why are you dripping water from between your eyelids?
Girl: Because Thanksgiving is coming. ;_;
Bug: Well can't it be stopped?
Girl: I don't want it stopped, only I'd like a turkey for Thanksgiving like the rich people have.
Bug: Oh, turkey, eh? Now, whatever could a little girl do with a turkey, I wonder? *cackles*
Girl: Eat it. ;-;
Bug: To be sure, how strange. I never thought of eating turkeys for Thanksgiving. But, why haven't you a turkey to eat?
Girl: We're too poor to buy one. ;_;
Bug: Well well my dear. I promise to buy you all the turkeys you can eat, and I never break my promise. So, shut off the water from your eyes and turn on a new smile.
[SCENE CUTS TO BUG AND FRIENDS]
Bug: I must have a few turkeys for a little girl to eat. Now, where would you advise me to get them?
Tinman: This morning, as I rode in on the Gump, I saw great flocks of wild turkeys, flying over the woods.
Bug: Oh, that gives me an idea! I'll take the gump and catch some fine wild turkeys for my little friend.
[BUG MAGICALLY HAS TURKEYS, SCENE SKIPPED WITH CAETCHING THEM]
Turkeys: *woggle woggle*
Girl: Oh, they're beautiful turkeys!
Bug: Only three of them are turkeys, the fourth bird was flying with the flock, and was quite different frmo the turkeys. However, I think the three turkeys will be sufficient for your Thanksgiving dinner.
Girl: Oh yes indeed. But what is the strange bird?
Bug: A horn bill. (??)
[SCENE CUTS BACK TO INTERVIEW]
Bug: And that was when I first learned all about the holiday you call Thanksgiving.
Bugfucker: Do love that story also. It may be favorite one too. Now how about you Tin Woodman. What is your favorite time from your first visit in America.
Tinman: I suppose it would have to be the time when by a delightful unexpectedness, we came to the state of Kansas, and found ourselves directly over the prairie where our beloved friend Dorothy lived.
[SCENE CUTS TO KANSAS]
Bug: Let us alight(??) here.
Scarecrow: Would it not be better to see what lies beyond the prairie?
Bug: Perhaps. But I'd like to see what an American farm is like.
Pumpkin: So would I. If they grow pumpkins here, I might get a new head. It strikes me that this one is not so precious it might be.
Tinman: But it's alive, which a new one would not be and I can imagine no more disagreeable feeling than to have a lifeless head upon a live body.
Bug: Nevertheless, our friend Jack may well be interested in his own species. I, who have much more excuse for being alive than any of you, since I was born living, *cackles*, can sympathize with poor Jack. The seeds of discontent are in his brain. Let me alight and prove to him how much better off he is than all othe pumpkins.
[HOT AIR BALLOON LANDS]
Toto: *woof woof*
Scarecrow: Oh, Toto, my dear little Toto!
Toto: *still barking*
Scarecrow: Where did you come from and where is your mistress?
Dorothy: My dear old friends, how glad I am to see you!
Tinman: Dorothy! *hugs*
Pumpkin: Who are these people?
Scarecrow: Dorothy and Toto once visited us in the Land of Oz and we were great chums there, but her home is her ein Kansas where the wheat fields grow.
Pumpkin: Oh, is that stuff wheat that the farmer is cutting out there?
Bug: No. Indeed, it is called barley.
[SCENE CUTS BACK TO INTERVIEW]
Tinman: Oh yes. It does always do my heart well to meet again with a dear friend. No matter how long we may have been apart from each other. Oh, it rather brings tears to my eyes just thinking on it!
Bug: I know what you mean! And I am so happy we did get to meet with Dorothy when we did. She was such a sweet, lovely girl.
Bugfucker: What about you, Scarecrow? What is your favorite time from when you all first visited America?
Scarecrow: Well, I'm sure that would have to be the time when Dorothy came to the hotel we were all staying at in Kansas generously provided for by the mayor of the city and we put on a little show of our magical abilities for her.
[SCENE CUTS TO HOTEL ROOM]
Dorothy: It does seem like old times to be with friends from the Land of Oz again. I think the reason i love you all is because you are so different.
Scarecrow: Yes, I have learned since we came to America that we are quite different from your Earth people. They call us fairies and think everything we do is the result of magic.
Dorothy: But really you are fairies in a way. And you do wonderful things.
Bug: You people also do wonderful things, but no one here seems surprised at moving pictures, talking machines or telephones which surely owe their origin to magical arts.
Dorothy: That is because we are used to them, the things that interest us are things we seldom see. Won't you perform some of your own magic for me this evening?
Scarecrow: With great pleasure! It is our duty to strive to amuse our guests and we will attempt to do some things you seldom see in America.
*walks up to painting* Now bow!
*man comes out of painting, bows and dances for 30 seconds*
Dorothy: That was very interesting.
Tinman: Look out, but don't get frightened.
*Tinman does magical spell which causes room to fill with water and living fish*
Dorothy: That was strange and beautiful.
Bug: Usually, as you know, it takes many years for a tree to grow from a seed. That is because nature supplies very slowly the elements of chemistry required to enable the tree to increasein size, and therefore it is obligated to grow just as slowly. But tonight I shall give the seed a large quantity of the food it requires to make it grow and you will be surprised at the results.
*tree grows out of the hotel room floor in fits because Bugfucker sucks at 3D animation*
Dorothy: Huh, that was indeed wonderful. What kind of a tree was it that you've made to grow?
Bug: I'll tell you. It was a banyan tree.
[BACK TO STUDIO]
Bugfucker: I'm sure that must have been fun to see. Now, how about you Jack? Do you also have a favorite time from your first trip to America?
Pumpkin: Well, yes. As a matter of fact I do. Though, of course, it wouldn't have turned out to be a favorite if it hadn't have been for the Wogglebug's wise intervention. It was when I almost gave up the Sawhorse.
[CUT TO STREET]
Pumpkin: Ooh, this is a very pretty gold saddle that would look very nice on the back of the Sawhorse. Oh, but it costs $7.93. And I do not own a single penny of this money which the people around here demand. But, wait, here is another shop that reads "A Jackson Lilly: Money Lender". Why here's a way provided for me to purchase that pretty saddle. I have only to ask Mr. Lilly to lend me the money and then return to the store and get the saddle. Oh, these queer American ways are not at all difficult to understand if one tries are intelligent.
[CUT TO MONEYLENDER]
Lilly: Here you fellow. Don't you know better than to ride into a gentleman's shop?
Pumpkin: No indeed. If I knew better, I would not do such a thing.
Lilly: What do you want?
Pumpkin: I wish to borrow $7.93.
Lilly: Very well, sir. Where is your security?
Pumpkin: My security, my security? Ah, my secuiryt lies in keeping my head fresh as long as possible.
Lilly: You must give me something that is worth $7.93 as a pledge that you will return your money, and your head won't do at all because I can get better pumpkins for a nickel a piece.
Pumpkin: I am sure you underestimate my worth.
Lilly: Stop my friend! I will gladly lend you the money if you wish, if you will leave this wooden horse with me as a pledge.
Pumpkin: Hmm...that seems very reasonable.
[CUT TO STREET]
Pumpkin: Hello Mr. Wogglebug. Come inside with me while I get a saddle for the Sawhorse.
Bug: You cannot get it without money. These Americans want money for everything.
Pumpkin: I am not so ignorant as you suppose. See? Here is the sum of money required. Exactly $7.93.
Bug: Where did you get it?
Pumpkin: From a moneylender down the street.
Bug: And what did you give him in exchange?
Pumpkin: The Sawhorse.
Bug: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Dear me, why did I not keep an eye on you? You need a guardian friend, Jack. *cackles*
Pumpkin: Why so?
Bug: Because you have given away the Sawhorse for money to buy him a saddle. When you have bought the saddle, you will have no Sawhorse to put it on. Does that not strike you as being an absurd act?
Pumpkin: Yes ;_; it really does.
Bug: Then instead of buying the saddle, return the money to the man and get back your Sawhorse which is of great value of you to in your travel.
[CUT TO MONEYLENDER]
Pumpkin: Hello sir, I'm afraid I made a mistake in giving you the Sawhorse, as I need him more than I realized I need this money and I want him back.
Lilly: I must have interest to pay me for making the loan. *shilling intensifies* $1 more please.
Pumpkin: I have no more money, and as I have returned to you the full sum that I received, I now demand my Sawhorse.
Lilly: I shall keep both the Sawhorse and the money until you pay me the interest.
Pumpkin:



Goodbye, dear friend! Through my ignorance I have lost your companionship forever.
*Sawhorse breaks out of shop window*
Bug: It is always well to avoid these shops which display three golden balls in the window.
Pumpkin: Why do moneylenders display 3 golden balls?
Bug: It is an ancient custom for the 3 balls were taken from the armorial bearings Lumbardt family of the 13th century, the head of which family was among the first moneylenders.
Pumpkin: What was the name of the famous Lumbardt family?
Bug: I'll tell you. The d'Medici family.
[BACK TO STUDIO]
Pumpkin: So that was how I learned that true friendships and things that are truly valuable to me are of no merit in comparison to things like money and things I otherwise do not really have a need for, such a fancy golden saddle.
Bug: Well said my fine friend! You speak so much like a philosopher these days. I see you have learned well from your life's experiences, as well as from my own teaching of you. *cackles*
Pumpkin: Yes I have. Thank you.
Bugfucker: Those were all really wonderful and interesting stories. So, since coming back ot America in this new day and age, what significant differences have you all noticed about it?
Pumpkin: I noticed a lot of new transportation. All around. When we first came here, hardly anyone could afford to purchase an automobile. And now, nearly everyone has one. And you also have flying machines called airplanes, that fly everywhere in the sky, and almost as fast as our flying Gump can fly.
Tinman: I noticed a lot of factories and buildings everywhere where there used to be a lot of woods and farmlands around. And a lot of these new factories cause a lot of air pollution which is bad for you meat people's health and also your hearts.
Scarecrow: The biggest difference to me is how relatively few people in this new century seem to know about the land of Oz. And I mean, the REAL land of Oz that is written about in our history books you have in plenty, and not the musical movie version from 1939 that starred Judy Garland who, as pretty as she may have been, just doesn't hold a candle to the REAL Dorothy.
Bug: Yes, I know what you mean my friend. Just as sure as so many movies and TV shows are now taking the place of learning history from books, and the memory from wise old people now which I think is too bad, as I learned all I learned in the old fashioned way, and look where it got me!
Pumpkin: Is that really a good example? Because hardly anyone in this new century knows about you either. And even fewer know the real you.
Bug: Why must you remind me of this?
Bugfucker: Oh you know I am working towards changing this problem, and so many others are working on changing all the other problems we also have in the world these days, and change is always happening you know. Now, before we say good night would each of you like to say anything to everyone that would be worthwhile?
Bug: Certainly! I'd like to say, you must all continue to learn all you can learn, as that is the only way you may grow and rise in the world.
Scarecrow: And I would like to say to everyone, you all must learn to use your brains wisely and think about everything before you speak and act in any way!
Tinman: And I would like to say to everyone, you all must learn to use your hearts and let them guide you in all you say and do as that is the only true path to achieving happiness.
Pumpkin: And I would like to say to everyone to treat gourds with the respect they deserve, especially at this time of year. ((video was uploaded in April, wtf?))
Bugfucker: Everyone, thank you all so much for being such good guests, so now good night to all of you *applause* out there and make sure to tune in next time for our next guest on Fantasy Tonight.
