Jefferton alive
Pardon?
Hello?
Yes, hello.
Who's there, please?
It's Tom Peters.
Great!
I just wanted to
I wanted
I wanted to come by
and talk to you about something.
I was up most of the night worried about Jefferton's tourism industry.
I appreciate that, Tom.
I guess it all got sparked off
watching That's Amazing! last night.
Love that show.
Had the good fortune
to end up taping it.
Let me see if I can find the segment here.
who makes her own clothes
out of pancakes!
- Oh, Bradley.
- Darn it, should have cued it.
Well, basically, it was about the Loch Ness Monster.
Not sure if you're familiar with that.
- Should be coming up in a sec here.
- Balls are fun
but not when
you're locked inside of one!
Say, I didn't know
you were in town.
Anyway, they had this segment about something called the Loch Ness Monster
which I guess is some sort of sea serpent that lives in Scotchland.
Apparently did pretty well
for their tourism.
- Right.
- I was just wondering
if you knew of any mysteries
that Jefferton had
that we could kinda use
to bring in the tourists.
Nothing's really
ringing a bell right now.
Tell you what, Tom.
Can you close your eyes, please?
All right.
What do you think, Tom?
Well, I'm just not 100% sure
what I'm looking at.
It's our sea serpent.
It's our Loch Ness.
I'm calling him Jeffy.
I see, we build our own
man-made serpent. I get it.
And then we convince people that it's real.
That's a little devilish but I like it.
Tom, it's gonna be beautiful.
I've designed
a little pilot's pod inside.
I wanna put you in there
and you can steer it
and move it
all over the lake like a real serpent.
Mayor, this is really gonna be
a big news for tourism.
I can see the T-shirts and the CDs
and all the hats.
It's gonna be wonderful.
I can even imagine a banner that goes
"Jeffy the sea serpent!"
OK, couple more steps and we'll be there and
OK, here we are.
What do you think?
Isn't it awesome?
Tom, it just looks so real.
It's wonderful.
It's all you, Mayor.
I just had to follow the blueprints.
- You hit it out of the park with this.
- We're not done.
You must leak it to the press
and we can't let anyone know it's fake.
Right, I got it. As far as I know,
that's a real sea serpent.
All right,
let me just get myself
Well, bon voyage, Tom.
Let me take a snapshot here for the Married News Team.
Smile!
Good.
Very nice.
- Sea serpent!
- That's right, Jan!
Married News confirmed
the sighting of a sea serpent
that dwells deep within
the Jefferton man-made lake.
At night he pops his head up,
over and over
and over again!
- We're calling him Jeffy.
- Well listen.
I don't know what it is
or where it came from
but I gotta admit something to you, Wayne. Come here.
I think it's cute.
Darn it, I'm running low on air.
Better tell the Mayor
I gotta abandon ship here.
Come on, children,
please keep up now.
We're almost at Jeffy.
Mayor, it's Tom Peters.
I'm having an air supply problem
down here. Over and out.
Mayor to Tom Peters,
over and out.
Are we on a secure line?
Over and out.
- Absolutely. 10-4 to that. Over and out.
- Check. Over and out.
Listen, I got a big tour group coming to see Jeffy.
Bring her to the surface and do some tricks for me. Over and out.
I can't give you a 10-4 to that, Mayor.
We're having some major technical problems. I'll send her back to port.
Over and out.
10-4 to that, Tom. Tour boats coming your way. Let's give it to 'em.
All right, let me just see
if I can get her going here.
Trim my left crank,
that should probably take me up.
Little less on the gas hook.
I'm gettin' this.
Easy, girl.
Tom, what's happening?
I lost control of her, Mayor.
She's got a mind of her own sometimes.
Juststuck in the
Mayday. Help me. Over and out.
- Are you saying she ate you?
- Mayday!
Stuck in the Mayday!
Please, no!
Over and out.
Goodbye, friend.
Mr. Mayor,
do you wanna try to explain
what's going on
in the man-made lake right now?
That's actually a funny story.
Apparently this deadly sea serpent,
I'm calling him Jeffy
has risen from the dead,
and is attacking our town
and killing everybody.
But the good news is that Jefferton tourism has jumped up 200%.
Excuse me, Mr. Mayor
my wife and daughter were on that boat and I don't think it's appropriate that you
All right, Chad.
Come on,
who cares about that?
The main point here is that we need to talk to Jeffy
reason with him and
bring him back on our side.
And that's why I hired
a true friend of the serpent.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Phillip Priest!
Hey, folks, hey, gang.
Thanks for having me.
My name is Phillip Priest and
I'm from the Snakes And Such Institute
and this here,
don't be scared, is Jonathan.
Look at that!
He's a Swiss Bingo Constrictor.
Jonathan, bad!
Let's see what else.
He's a real apple lover.
You guys like apples?
Do you like apples? Yeah!
He eats apples too.
But sometimes, guess what?
He eats mice.
He can eat a whole mouse.
Jonathan! No!
Bad! Bad!
Gentlemen, the point is, Phillip is the only man in town with a boat
and he may be able to negotiate with Jeffy.
Yeah, little guy, you bit me.
Mayday. S.O.S.
Help me, anyone.
Over and out.
Who's that out there?
Are you a fish?
Friend
Friend, listen.
Please, give me a hand here.
What was that?
Try the manual starter cable?
OK, I'll give it a shot.
Thanks, friend!
I know you're out here somewhere.
Show your face,
you silly dinosaur.
Thank goodness!
Phillip, there he is!
Mayor, let me talk to him.
Jeffy. Jeffy?
Yeah, do you like
the sound of my voice?
Come give
your Uncle Phillip a kiss.
Yeah. It's OK.
I'm your uncle, your friend.
Give me a kiss, buddy.
All right, let me just maneuver this guy to shore
Can I offer you an apple?
Phillip, no!
I'll get you, Jeffy!
Adios, a la mañana,
my old friend.
I think I liked you better dead, Jeffy.
So you wanna play, do you?
Come here,
I got some fresh apples for you.
Come take a bite.

"Hold on a sec, honey,
I hear somebody talking.
"I gotta start screaming again."
Help!
Help me!
Help!
Somebody help!
Help!
Oh, my God!
I think that sound's
coming from inside me!
Hey! Help!
Abso-lutely.
