All told not too bad, actually, but than I am a computer programmer so I may be predisposed.

This is, according to what I read on Wikipedia yesterday, about as close as this storyline comes to aping the movie. It occurs to me also that this sort of scene really couldn’t work with anyone other than Helen.

(Actually, it could probably work with Artie.)

I assume, by the use of Mountain Dew as digestive enzyme, that the details in this episode are slightly exaggerated. Even so, I fear that for some people this is only a minor departure from their culinary reality.

Caffeine!
Oh, caffeine caffeine!
Caffeine is what I like
‘Cause it makes my heart rate spike!

Sugar!
Goes good with caffeine!
Mell, keep on filming this,
Or the good parts you will miss!

If I do not have caffeine, my heart will stop a bit!
Watch my EKG go flat!
Mountain Dew with Circus Peanuts, there’s no topping it!
(Are you gonna finish that?)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

Pump a little caffeine in me, baby…
Pump a little caffeine in me, baby…
