(fade in to Rocky thinking of his plan; fade out, then in to Senator Fausmussen's office)
Narrator: Well, Rocky's plans for Gidney and Cloyd to become the first Americans on the moon have hit a snag in the person of Senator Fausmussen of the Citizenship Committee.
Senator Fausmussen: Too many people are claiming to be Americans! Alaskans, Hawaiians, Californians! It's disgraceful!
(cut to newsboy)
Newsboy: Senator acts to stop moon men!
(cut to Rocky, Bullwinkle, Gidney, and Cloyd at the little house in Frostbite Falls)
Cloyd: We'll never get home again.
Rocky: Nonsense. We're gonna teach you to become Americans.
Bullwinkle: Yeah, time we get finished, you'll look as American as I do.
(Bullwinkle wears a hat, carries a "yeah" flag and dances)
Gidney: I'd really rather not.
Rocky: Bring in our whole library of books, Bullwinkle.
(Bullwinkle carries the books into the room)
Bullwinkle: Here they are, Rock. The Farmer's Almanac, The Bobsey Twins at Camp Wahoo, and my personal down volume of Gastly Comics.
Narrator: The boys set to work to convert the moon men, Gidney and Cloyd, into typical Americans. Unfortunately, their idea of what an American should know was rather limited.
Rocky: Okay, Gidney, how many days in September?
Gidney: Thirty days haft September.
Bullwinkle: Right. Say, you're getting as smart as me.
Rocky: How do you make fire without matches?
Cloyd: Rub two boy scouts together.
(Rocky shakes his head in embarrassment)
Rocky: No, no, no, no!
Cloyd: Oh, uh, sticks! Rub two sticks?
(Rocky is satisfied and closes his book)
Rocky: That's it! (to Bullwinkle) Well, Bullwinkle, I guess they're ready to become Americans.
Bullwinkle: Yeah, sorta gets you right in here, don't it?
(Rocky cries happy tears at Gidney and Cloyd's upcoming success)
Rocky: Yeah, I'm just quietly proud.
Narrator: But the next day in Senator Fausmussen's Committee Room, the moon men didn't make out so well.
(Senator Fausmussen is testing the moon men's knowledge with other people watching them intently)
Senator Fausmussen: If the President doesn't sign a bill, how many days before it becomes a law.
Gidney: Uh, 30 days haft September, April, June, and November...
Senator Fausmussen: Apart from Congressional action, how may a bill be introduced?
Cloyd: By rubbing two sticks together?
Senator Fausmussen: What?
(Senator Fausmussen and his colleagues are confused and angered by the last answer Cloyd gave; cut to Rocky and Bullwinkle just outside)
Rocky: (whispering) How are they doing, Bullwinkle?
Bullwinkle: (whispering) Oh, they're getting the answers perfect, Rock.
Rocky: (whispering) Good!
Bullwinkle: (whispering) Only thing is, he keeps asking the wrong questions.
Narrator: Sure enough, the moon men were quickly ejected from the Committee Room, but they didn't seem at all unhappy.
(Rocky, Bullwinkle, Gidney, and Cloyd start exiting Capitol Hill)
Gidney: Well...(laughs) we made it!
Cloyd: We'll never be able to thank you enough, Rocky.
Rocky: What do you mean?
Bullwinkle: You flunked your exam, didn't ya?
Cloyd: Oh, better than that!
Gidney: Senator Fausmussen says we shouldn't even be allowed in the country.
Rocky: Oh?
Gidney: So guess what? He's deporting us!
Cloyd: Sending us back where we came from!
Bullwinkle: You mean the M-U-N-E moon?
Cloyd: That's right. And of course, there's only one way we can get there.
Rocky: The mooseberry bush!
Bullwinkle: You're gonna go by bush? Sounds a little scratchy.
Rocky: No, Bullwinkle. We'll use the mooseberry bush to make your secret rocket fuel.
(Bullwinkle remembers and hold up his "Rocky and his Friends" script from the past 40 episodes)
Bullwinkle: Oh, of course! It's been so long, I almost forgot the plot. Well, let's go.
Narrator: And within a few days, Bullwinkle had whipped up an exact duplicate of his Grandma Moose's fudge cake batter.
(cut to the airport with a waiting rocket ship bound for space with Rocky and Bullwinkle preparing to deposit the fuel)
Rocky: Just slip it in this blast chamber, Bullwinkle.
Bullwinkle: Right!
(and he does with a hard thrust)
Narrator: Of course, all official Washington turned out for the moon men's departure. Senator Fausmussen himself bid them goodbye.
Senator Fausmussen: Goodbye. (to Bullwinkle) Now close the hatch and blast off.
Bullwinkle: Right!
Narrator: But when Bullwinkle slammed the hatch closed, he caught the tail of Senator Fausmussen's coat!
(the voice of a Countdown Man is heard through the speakers as Senator Fausmussen tugs vainly at his coat to get it loose)
Countdown Man: Ten...nine...eight...
Senator Fausmussen: What's this? My, my coat is caught!
Countdown Man: Six...five...four...
Rocky: Well, take your coat off!
Senator Fausmussen: That wouldn't be dignified!
Rocky: I got it!
Countdown Man: Three...two...
Narrator: Quickly, Rocky zoomed to the President's chair and whispered in his ear.
Rocky: (inaudible whispering to the President)
Countdown Man: One...zero...fire!
(Senator Fausmussen tugs his hardest, still vainly)
Senator Fausmussen: Somebody DOOOOOOOO something!!
President: Very well. Senator Fausmussen, I appoint you the new ambassador to the moon!
Narrator: And as the crowd cheered, the spaceship bearing Gidney, Cloyd, and our first interplanetary diplomat zoomed upward and out of sight.
Rocky: Well, Bullwinkle, you did it again.
Bullwinkle: Yeah. Onced a hero, always a hero, I guess.
Rocky: You said it, Bullwinkle.
Bullwinkle: Didn't I, though?
Narrator: And the boys trudged away from the airport and into a brand new adventure. Don't miss the beginning of it in the next chapter of Rocky...the Flying Squirrel!
