It was the Beginning of a Spoo Age


INT - SHERIDAN'S OFFICE - BABYLON 5

Sheridan is seated at his desk, when an alien Advertiser of unknown race enters. He sits down in front of the desk.

Advertiser: Aah, hello Captain...Sinclair, was it?

Sheridan: Sheridan. John Sheridan.

Advertiser: Now, Captain Sheridan... Sheridan, Sheridan... Unusual name, Vorlon is it?

Sheridan: No.

Advertiser: Aah. Now, what was it you were wanting to advertise?

Sheridan: Well, what with relations between Babylon 5 and Earth being what they are, we're having to explore any avenue of income, so we've turned most of Brown sector over to spoo ranching.

Advertiser: Tasty stuff, spoo, no problem there.

Sheridan: There's a problem you see, the only containers we could come up with are recycled Drazi spoo cisterns. 10,000 bindams each.

Advertiser: What's that in Earth measures?

Sheridan: Half a tablespoon.

Advertiser: Well, that's our selling point! SINCLAIR'S INDIVIDUAL SPOOETTES!

Sheridan: What?

Advertiser: THE NOW SPOO! READY CUT, EASY TO HANDLE, SINCLAIR'S INDIVIDUAL SPOO - JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT!

Sheridan: For what?

Advertiser: A MILLION HOUSEHOLD USES!

Sheridan: Such as?

Advertiser: Uhmm...repelling boarders, polishing rank insignia, destroying household pests...

Sheridan: Destroying household pests?!

Advertiser: Well, if they're bigger than a Tribble, you can poison them with it, and if they're smaller than, you drown ‘em in it!

Sheridan: Well surely...!

Advertiser: DESTROY NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF KNOWN HOUSEHOLD PESTS WITH PRE-SLICED, RUSTPROOF, EASY-TO-HANDLE, LOW CALORIE SINCLAIR'S INDIVIDUAL CENTAURI EMPEROR SPOOETTES, FREE FROM ARTIFICIAL COLORING, AS USED IN HOSPITALS!

Sheridan: Hospitals!?!

Advertiser: Have you ever in a Hospital where they didn't serve spoo?

Sheridan: No, but it's only spoo!

Advertiser: Only spoo?! It's everything! It's...it's Vorlon proof!

Sheridan: No it isn't!

Advertiser: All right, it's Vorlon resistant then!

Sheridan: It isn't!

Advertiser: All right, it's Vorlon repellent! It's...First One Repellent Spoo! REPEL VORLONS TODAY WITH SINCLAIR'S INDIVIDUAL SPOO! AWAY WITH KOSH!

Sheridan: You're mad!

Advertiser: AWAY WITH THE DRUDGERY OF WORKADAY PLANET KILLERS!

Sheridan: I don't think --

Advertiser: Shut up, shut up, shut up! Sex, sex sex, must get sex into it. Wait, I see a vid commercial-- There's a nude Ivanova in a bath eating a bit of your spoo. That's great, great, but we need a doctor, got to have a medical opinion. There's a nude Ivanova in a bath with Doctor Franklin--that's too sexy. Put a PsyCop there watching them, that'll take the curse off it. There's two kids admiring the spoo, and a Drazi admiring the PsyCop inspecting the spoo. Uhh...interplanetary flavor's missing...why not make the PsyCop Talia Winters! No, no, she's dead... nevermind, we'll get her sister, it'll be cheaper... So, there's this nude Ivanova with Talia Winter's sister in a bath....
