The scene opens with Ned wandering in what appears to be the cavernous insides of a whale. He is eventually approached by Pons and others. Ned: Land o' Goshin! Dis here's da innards of a whale! I been swallered by Maybe Dick! Pons: Hey, Ned. Funny meeting you here. Ned: Jumpin' Gehosophat, Pons! You got yerself ate by Maybe Dick too? Pons: You must be dreaming, Ned. Ned: I ain't never seen no whale's insides, Pons. How'd I know what ta dream? Pons: Some kind of cartoon idea of what it might be like. Ned: Oh? Ya mean like Pin-o-chee-oh? Dat wood kid what got drunk in by a big ol' whale? Pons: Monstro. Ned: So we're in Monsteroh's belly, huh? Ain't dat somethin' ? Pons: More likely, Ned, you're only dreaming you're here. Ned: But I got dis fishin' pole. Why would I a brung dis if I were just dreamin' ? Pons: Dreams are random, Ned. Things just show up out of your subconscious so your brain can discharge pent up thoughts. That way you won't go crazy. Ned: Now wait a gall dang minute dere, Pons. I got no ideer what da heck you just said. How could I be dreamin dat? Pons: It could be nonsense words that only seem to have meaning in your dream state. Ned: Well dat dang near resemblifies how it is when I'm waked. Jonah: Either of you boys know how to get to Albuquerque? Ned: Lordy, Pons! Dis here's dat ol' boy what got swallered by da whale in the Bible. Pons: You mean Jonah? Ned: No. Dat other dude what built da big boat den filled it full a all da animals aseptn dinosaurs an' unicorns. Pons: That was Noah, Ned, not Jonah. Ned: Ain't dat what I said? Pons: But Noah wasn't eaten by a big fish. Noah: Yes I was. Pons: What happened to Jonah. Moses: Who? Pons: Oh wow, Ned. Your dream is getting a bit weird. Ned: Weirderer dan being in the belly of a gia-gantic whale? Geppetto: Have you boys seen my son? Pons: Pinocchio? Geppetto: We pronounce his name - Pin-o-chee-oh. Pons: Well, of course. In Ned's dream you would. Ned: Don't it smell fishy in here, Pons? Pons: It does. Did you eat fish before you went to sleep? Ned: I 'member eatin' some leftover tuner fish. Pons: How LEFT over was it? Ned: Well I put it on some bread fer a sammich on Tuesdee; left it on da counter fer a day; put 'er in the frigatater on Thursdee; pulled it out an' left it on da windersill 'til Saturdee. Pons: A week!? Ned: Well, I meant the Saturdee afore dis lassun. Pons: It's a wonder it didn't kill you. Ned:  Gee willickers, Pons! Ya think I might be in one of dem co-mers?
