Previously on Artificial Unintelligence

[long pause]

Clay: How did we get in here anyway?

[Clay &  Humphrey fall into sand]

Clay: Oh yeah. Why are you eating the sand, Humphrey?

Humphrey: Because, Clay, I'm trying to escape the dessert.

Clay: You mean desert?

Humphrey: That's why it's so hot. How did we get in the desert again?

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

[chopper sounds]

Clay: Hey. Hey! Over here! Humphrey, it's a helicopter!

Humphrey: Probably a mirage.

Clay: Oh, you're right. it's just a pig.

[pig squeals]

Clay: Why are you eating the sand, Humphrey.

Humphrey: Because, Clay, I always said I'd eat sand when pigs fly.

Clay: I thought you said you'd eat flamingo poop when pigs flied.

Humphrey: That's why it tastes different from last time.

[piano starts playing]

Clay: Hey. Hey! Over here! Humphrey, it's a piano!

Humphrey: Probably a mirage.

Clay: I have the strangest feeling of Déjà vu.

[piano falls into sand]

[sergeant comes out of piano]

Clay: Sergeant!

Sergeant: There's a war going on! What are you boys doing here?

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Sergeant: Now come on, boys, we have a war to-Humphrey, why are you eating sand?

Humphrey: Sir! Me and Clay had an illegal bet if you would come on a flying piano or not! Sir!

Sergeant: When'd you do that?

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Clay: [muffled] I bet Sergeant will come on a flying piano and save us.

Sergeant: Clay and Humphrey. I am very disappointed. You said me and Clay instead of Clay and I.

Humphrey: What? When did we do that?

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Sergeant: No, the other time.

[Clay& Humphrey fall into sand]

Sergeant: No, the OTHER other time.

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Humphrey: I have no memory of that event.

Sergeant. Nevertheless, soldier. We've got to get back to base.

[Clay & Humphrey get onto piano]

[piano flies away]

[pig squeals]

Humphrey: No! We forgot piggy!

[pig squeals]

Humphrey: We'll never forget you piggy! [sniffle] I remember when we first met him.

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Clay: [muffled] I bet Sergeant will come on a flying piano and save us.

[pig squeals]

Sergeant: Something's wrong. She's out of control!

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

[pig squeals]

Humphrey:  Piggy! You can save us!

[pig squeals]

Humphrey: What do you mean why not?

[pig squeals]

Humphrey: We didn't forget you. You told us you didn't want to come. Remember.

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Clay: [muffled] I bet Sergeant will come on a flying piano and save us.

[pig squeals]

Humphrey: Fine piggy, if he does come, you don't have to if you don't want to.

[pig squeals]

Humphrey: No, no we didn't fall on you, I'm sure it was a different pig.

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Humphrey: Oh. Sorry about that.

Clay: Well, now how are we going to get to the base? We have no food, no water, no-Why'd  you take off your pants?

Humphrey: It's just excess heat. Besides, what good is camouflage clothes in a desert?

Clay: You do have a point. But wouldn't it be a disgrace to our army?

Sergeant: Come on Clay! Everybody's doing it!

Clay: Shouldn't we take off our helmets?

Humphrey: Good idea.

[Humphrey takes off helmet]

[Cow's head appears under helmet]

Clay: Actually, maybe we should-

[Clay and Humphrey fall into sand]

Clay: Well, that did us no good.

[orchestra music plays]

Clay: Wait. You hear that?

Sergeant: It's an orchestra of naked orangutans! Wait, why are you eating sand  Humphrey?

Clay: Who cares? Let's go!

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Clay: Well, that did us no good.

Sergeant: 20 cents a seat. How could we get that much money in the desert?

Humphrey: I have a crazy idea.

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Clay: Well, that did us no good.

Humphrey: You know that déjà vu feeling you had earlier?

Clay: No.

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Humphrey: Well, anyway, I'm starting to feel it now.

Sergeant: Clay! Humphrey! I just snuck in, and guess what?

Clay: What?

Sergeant: I found our pants!

Clay: Why are you eating sand again Humphrey?

Sergeant: I thought I said no more illegal bets!

Clay: When did you say that?

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Humphrey: No, no it just tastes good.

[dramatic music plays]

Clay: You hear something?

Sergeant: That's the kind of music that's always comes before-

[all is pitch black]

Sergeant: Well, now what?

Clay: I have an idea.

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Sergeant: Well, we're back where we started.

Clay: Look! It's the enemy base!

Sergeant: Do you know what this means?

Clay: I have no idea sergeant. Humphrey stop eating sand.

Sergeant: Darn I was hoping you knew.

Humphrey: Do we go in?

Clay: I have a better idea.

[Clay & Humphrey fall into sand]

Sergeant: Look! It's our base!

Clay: Let's go!

Humphrey: But the gatekeepers. They have guns!

Sergeant: You're the gatekeepers.

Clay: Actually no. We're just scientists, and we invented a new type of drugs. The fact that I'm remembering this now probably means I'm about to have a hangover and shouldn't be touched.

Sergeant: Maybe you're having your period and shouldn't be touched.

Clay: You're lucky I'm about to disappear. Uh-huh. Any second now.

Humphrey: Actually, I'm pretty sure our enemies gave you the drugs to make you think that.

Clay: Well then let's go in already.
