Sherpa - Valentine Love Boat

February 14, 2003

Listen (How to Listen)

Dale Connelly: This section of our show is brought to you by the Sherpa sport utility vehicle from Intimida. It's a mighty big car!

(music: theme)

And a big car can say so much when mere words say so little.

Jim Ed Poole: (off mic) Hey Sweetheart! Look what I just bought! For you!

Beth Gilleland: (calling up to him) For me? Are you kidding?

JEP: No! I'll drop the rope ladder ... climb on up!

(sfx: peel out)

DC: The new Sherpa "Love Boat" ... a car as big as your romance. Outsized. Unreasonable. Outrageously huge. It's a car that knows no bounds for a love that can't be contained.

JEP: And the great thing is ... it can go off road, so whenever we want to be alone ... just head for the hills!

BG: But honey ... we have a house! We can be alone there!

JEP: But our house isn't as big as our Sherpa Love Boat! Look! There's a mountain! Let's go!

(sfx: peel out and zoom)

DC: Take your true love to the top of a nearby mountain for a romantic look at the twinkling lights of the city below!

JEP: Isn't this great?

BG: (panting) I'm feeling ... dizzy!

JEP: (amorous) Me too!

BG: No ... the air ... getting thin. Hard to breathe!

JEP: Well, the last mountain goat we passed 20 minutes ago seemed to be doing all right.

BG: Do we have to be so off road?

JEP: It's OK! I almost forgot! The Sherpa comes complete with oxygen masks. I'll put mine on first ... (muffled) And then I'll help you with yours!

BG: Wait! Think!

JEP: (muffled) You're right! We can't kiss!

BG: What?

(sfx: takes mask off)

JEP: I said ... with our oxygen masks on ... we can't kiss! I'll drive back down to the foothills! Hang on!

(sfx: peel and zoom)

DC: The Sherpa Love Boat is designed for people in love. With his and hers defrosters!

JEP: Need more heat over there, honey?

BG: Just keep driving!

DC: Crushed red velvet seats!

JEP: The upholstery was designed in Vegas! Like it?

BG: Watch the road!

JEP: What road? Yee hah!

DC: And rose-tinted windows!

JEP: Doesn't the world look grand from inside our Sherpa? Whaddaya say we make these windows fog up?

BG: Put on your oxygen mask! (inhale)

DC: The Sherpa Love Boat Edition is available in a rainbow of colors! Rouge. Ruby. Candy apple. Lipstick. Fire engine. Baboon Bottom. And of course ... Red.

BG: Honey, what are those red lights way down there?

JEP: Where?

BG: On ground level.

JEP: Why ... that's some kind of law enforcement officer! Probably wants to rap on the window and scold us for necking!

BG: We're not necking!

JEP: By the time she climbs up here, we could be!

DC: The Love Boat. A new Sherpa from Intimida!

(sfx: screech to a halt)

It's a mighty big car!
