It’s for a mad scientist so it could be radioactive Pepsi waste…

(TUNE: “Think”, Aretha Franklin)

I’ve seen your junk!  (JUNK!)
Seen your junk when you’re standing in the nude!
I’ve seen your junk!  (JUNK JUNK!)
Drop the sheet and don’t be such a prude!

Let’s go down, let’s go down, let’s go way down to Brazil …
You ask what I’m doin’, I tell you I’m sent down here to kill!
I’m a black ops specialist, and I know what “secret” means,
But there ain’t no use in bein’ obtuse when I’ve seen your franks & beans!

I’ve seen your junk!  (JUNK!)
Seen your junk when you were standing there!
I’ve seen your junk!  (JUNK JUNK!)
You were lettin’ your li’l friend get some air!

Seen your … seen your … seen your … weiner!
Seen your … seen your … seen your … weeeeeeiinerrrrrrrr!

However, to complete it, you need the introduction to the song as well:We’ve just been introducedI don not know you wellBut you transported in and interfered with our great feudThe Doc and I agreeYou’re sexy as can beAnd so, our plan, hunky man, is to keep you in the nude(Who needs pants?)

Eventually I figured out that it’s the way Mell’s holding her gun. Specifically, she cannot possibly fire it from that position, even accidentally. I just can’t see Mell ever holding a gun that way, it would be like a panel showing her putting the safety on.

Young Helen is completely adorkable, though. Much love for that.

@Leon: Wouldn’t that fall under the trope “Author Appeal”?

Though this is certainly the acceptable, even encouraged, sort

He needs pants!
In this evil remote Brazilian lair!
He needs pants!
He might settle, at least, for underwear!
Just a glance
Shows us more than he really wants to share …
Artie looks so beguiling
When he’s starkers, Mell is smiling
And she won’t even look askance!
His complete lack of trouser
Will amuse her and arouse her!
He needs pants!  He needs pants!  He needs pants!

‘Authorservice’ isn’t a real word, or even a trope name, but today’s episode is loaded from start to end with whatever that word, were it real, might signify.

Fourth-wall dialogue: 63.
