Look Out! This Plane Is Going to Zzzz!

Singing bellybuttons? Shut up.

Back in the airplane can, Scotty is being coached by ghost pilot to -- first -- get into the cockpit. But how?

A waitress in the sky asks a little boy whether he wants to see the cockpit. Three rows over, Scotty leaps to his feet and says that'd be great. Hee.

After a lovely shot of the Budny van driving past the Golden Gate bridge (what, no trolley car eating Rice-a-Roni near the Too Close for Comfort house? Or a Ghirardelli chocolate bar waving from Alcatraz? Let's try to be creative, people), they land in a parking lot. The lot used to be lover Buzz's final resting place. Now it's the place where you get tube socks and Turtle Wax. The '50s Lady says that they'll search every cemetery in the state. Yes, they will. Couldn't they toss her body off Dead Man's Curve? No. No, they couldn't. They drive off and almost hit some doofus. It's Buzz! He and The '50s Lady share a tender moment, which I will try to leave alone, and poof off. But Jane and Yawn still have her body in the Budny van! Zoicks, Scoob! Anyone up for a little...nah, can't make that joke.

We hear the end of a conversation that goes, "And that's why all Trans-Planet Airline pilots are urine-tested regularly." The little boy says, "Neat." This so wants to be, but is not, an Airplane! moment. The kid leaves and Scotty is all, the plane is gonna crash. And how does he know this? He works for McDonnell Douglas, and helped build this thing. He puts his hands on a console, and the plane veers and shakes. People in their seats scream. The pilots correct the error and yell at Scotty. The ghost says that Scotty should use the fact that they think he's crazy to his advantage. Scotty says that they have to take the plane off autopilot now! The pilots do, and suggest that he get back to his seat for the movie which is, what else, Who's the Mayor?, with the guess who, that's right, the fictitious, not-real person you can stop asking about on the boards because he isn't real and doesn't exist Jared Paul. As soon as Scotty leaves, the pilots flip the autopilot back on again.

Scotty -- not arrested even though he freaked out in the cockpit -- walks back to his seat, then stops and heads back into First Class. His sister Tracy is sitting there smugly. She showed him who does what she wants to do. He sputters and fumes until she calls out, "Waitress? This man is bothering me." Hee.
