Frank Harris
- Frank Harris: Baby, you and me, I can't have that in the real world. I can't live without you. But I can't be with you. What do you do, huh? What do you do?
- Lonette: Well, we're just going to have to pretend, then, aren't we?
- Frank Harris: When your partner gets inked, you do something about it. He was your partner, so you do something.
- Lonette: Well, I'm not buying it.
- Frank Harris: How about a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
- Lonette: Can't you use think about me for a minute, Frank? I mean, where does this leave me?
- Frank Harris: What are you mad about?
- Lonette: I'm mad because you talk about crossing and you don't even care how it makes me feel!
- Frank Harris: I don't even care? How do you feel?
- Lonette: Left out!
- Frank Harris: You think I want to go back there? You think I want to go back?
- Lonette: Now why wouldn't you want to go back? That's real to you, isn't it?
- Frank Harris: Let me tell you something about over there. It hurts over there. It's lonely over there. It's a war over there. They got 8 million ways for you to die on and they're all permanent. This is real for me, this with you. If I want to stay with you, I gotta go back.
- Jack Deebs: I'm a cartoonist. I drew all this. I have visions. I translate this.
- Frank Harris: You do nothing, man. This place exists with or without you. You believe me, right? I'm not one of your creations.
- Jack Deebs: Right. You're not pretty enough.
- Frank Harris: Good one. Have a seat.
- Holli Would: You want to know what it is about you that really kicks my ass, Harris?
- Frank Harris: How about my foot?
- Frank Harris: Hey, sexy.
- Lonette: It's the man with the badge.
- Frank Harris: In the flesh.
- Lonette: Don't remind me.
- Frank Harris: How can I help it? What are you doing to me? You're messing me up.
- Lonette: Oh, honey, you're tense. It's Holli again, isn't it?
- Frank Harris: Yeah, Miss Holli Would-if-she-could. That dame. You heard anything?
- Lonette: Now you know I don't listen to that sleazy cow.
- Frank Harris: Don't. Just don't.
- Lonette: But why?
- Frank Harris: Because we can never finish it, Lonette. It's frustrating. I'm like a plug without a socket, you know?
- Frank Harris: [sees Nails sniffling] Nails, this is no time to catch a cold.
- Nails: It's not a cold, boss. I'm allergic to clouds.
- Frank Harris: WHAT?
- Frank Harris: Noids do not have sex with doodles. Right? Noids do no have sex with doodles! It's the oldest law in Cool World. I've never had to enforce it. You cross that line, I'll slap you around and make you piss like a puppy.
- [Deebs and Harris watch Holli Would dance]
- Frank Harris: Jack, you think she's got a thing for you, don't you? That's sweet. But don't flatter yourself. She's a waste of ink. Truth is she's been after me and every other noid who's come though here. It's just that no one's been insane enough to get involved with her. You keep your pencil in your pocket. Know what I mean?
- Frank Harris: A little late for a lady to be out on the streets, don't you think? I've got a couple of questions for you, miss.
- Lonette: Oh, come on, officer. Let it slide, would you? I'm tired.
- Frank Harris: Word is you have a thing for noids.
- Lonette: Yeah, I've got a thing for noids. But what's it to you, tough guy?
- Frank Harris: Baby, you don't know how tough it is.
- Lonette: You're late.
- Frank Harris: Ah, you're killing me. Why are you so beautiful?
- Jack Deebs: What are you doing here, Harris?
- Frank Harris: I'm taking you and the bimbo back.
- Jack Deebs: What are you gonna do, shoot me? Why don't you shoot me, God damn it? Shoot me, Harris!
- Frank Harris: Don't push me! Don't push me! You just couldn't take a piece of good advice, could you? No, Jack, you had to listen to your Johnson.
- Jack Deebs: I've had enough of you, Harris! I've had enough of you, God damn it!
- Frank Harris: You've had enough of me? You've had enough of me, you piece of shit? You screwed us all for a piece of ass? And you've had enough of me? Where is she?
- Frank Harris: [to Holli Would, now human] You know, sweetheart, you look good in flesh. It's almost a shame I gotta take you back. You are going back, you know?
- [Inside Lonette's apartment]
- Lonette: Oh, Frankie... So did you do it while you were back there in the real world?
- [laughs]
- Lonette: Did you do it while you were real? Do you ever think about going back there so you can?
- Frank Harris: There's no reason now.
- [Before the kiss, Nails opens the door and interrupts]
- Nails: Hey, boss, we gotta go.
- [Frank and Lonette get angry directly before Nails]
- Lonette: Get outta here!
- [Nails quickly comes out of their apartment]
- Nails: I'm sorry!... I'm so sorry, I can't stand myself.
- Lonette: Well, then, we're just going to have to stop pretending now, aren't we?
- [Frank switches the lamp off. Frank and Lonette kiss. An animated heart appears on the screen and comes out Nails]
- Nails: Bye-bye, folks, have a nice life.
- [In the Cool World, Doc Whiskers uses the Spike of Power and opens the portal to the real world]
- Doc Whiskers: Well it works, my spike works.
- [In the real world of 1945 Las Vegas, Frank is attended on the floor by the police]
- Frank Harris: Okay.
- Cop: Easy.
- Cop: Easy.
- Frank Harris: OK.
- Cop: Take is easy.
- Cop: Take is easy.
- Frank Harris: No!
- [In that moment, Frank is teleported into the Cool World]
- Doodles: I've got a headache. Have you got some wite-out?
- Frank Harris: Ma?... Ma!
- Bouncer: You don't know what you're into, but you're a long way from home.
- Doc Whiskers: It's so confusing, where to go? Where to go? Yes.
- Frank Harris: Ma!
- Doc Whiskers: Oh, bother.
- Frank Harris: What the hell are you?
- Doc Whiskers: They're doodles.
- Frank Harris: Cartoons?
- Bouncer: Don't get too close.
- Doc Whiskers: I can't believe what I've done, my spike was supposed to send me to your world, instead you're here. This man's not dangerous. We may not be real to you yet, but we will be. You've come to a whole new world, you've done something extremely rare.
- Doc Whiskers: You're in a real palace called the Cool World.
- [checks on Frank]
- Doc Whiskers: Strange, say ahh!
- Frank Harris: [opens his mouth] Ahh!
- Doc Whiskers: But when it comes to making a trip in the body, I've never seen it before.
- [Doc Whiskers uses the hammer for hit leg and Frank kicks]
- Doc Whiskers: Oh my goodness, I'm sorry about your mother.
- Frank Harris: You're cartoons...
- [touches four stars]
- Frank Harris: You're not real.
- Doc Whiskers: We're real, all right. The possibility of interworld travel has been my obsession for many, many years.
- Bouncer: Hey Doc, wait.
- Doc Whiskers: This man is not for you. He's not a police problem. He's a mystery of science and a hero.
- Frank Harris: [disagrees with him] I ain't no hero.
- Doc Whiskers: Don't be so sure with this hole I've opened. There could be many problems. They call me Doc Whiskers. What's your name, son?
- Frank Harris: I'm Frank Harris.
- Doc Whiskers: What did you do in the real world?
- Frank Harris: I was a soldier.
- Doc Whiskers: Oh, you could be useful here when I'm gone. Where are you from?
- Frank Harris: Las Vegas.
- [Lonette walked on the streets of Cool World, until she found the corpse of Frank Harris]
- Lonette: Oh Nails!...
- [crying]
- Nails: He didn't make it, I'm sorry.
- Lonette: Oh Frank, honey. No please, oh no please!... You can't leave me...
- [crying]
- Lonette: Oh no! Who killed him, Nails?
- Nails: He was pushed off a building.
- Lonette: Who pushed him?
- Nails: Holli Would.
- Lonette: Holli Would?... That bitch!
- [crying]
- Lonette: Nails, was she a doodle when she aced him?
- Nails: Yeah, so what?
- Lonette: So what?... Oh so what? Do you know what happens to noids who traffic in the Cool World, Nails? When they get killed by a doodle, they become a doodle themselves.
- [In that moment, Frank Harris becomes an animated cartoon and wakes up]
- Frank Harris: [surprised] Hot dog, dig it, dig me!
- Lonette: Oh my God! Oh Nails, he's alive and he's gorgeous too.
- Frank Harris: Oh bo-bo-bo baby, what do you think?
- Lonette: Oh you're a hero Harris, you saved the world.
- Frank Harris: So what are you waiting for? Come and get it.
- [Lonette and Nails embrace happily and laughing]
