Bullseye Bullwinkle or Destination Moose/Squeeze Play or Invitation to the Trance (1959)

William Conrad: Narrator

Quotes 

• [Bullwinkle is hypnotized] 

  Boris Badenov : [disguised as Swami Ben Boris, hypnotist]  At last the formula will be mine! Now, Mr. Moose, tell me everything you know.

  Narrator : So Bullwinkle told them everything he knew. All about his early days in the Minnesota woods; his days at the Philpott School for Exceptional Children, and he *was* exceptional, being the only student with antlers; his experiences in the army, where he served three years as a hat rack in the officers' club... On and on he went without stopping, for twelve hours. But, true to their promise, Boris and Natasha didn't hear a word. The steady drone had long since sent them to dreamland. Unfortunately, it had done the same thing to Rocky. And so, when Bullwinkle finally got to Grandma's recipe, the only people who heard it weren't people at all, but the two moon men.

• Narrator : And if that weren't bad enough, when the boys were on their way home, the two spies, Boris and Natasha, received their latest instructions.

  Boris Badenov : Don't tell me. Let me guess. I'll bet it says, "Keel Moose", right?

  Natasha Fatale : [reading the secret instructions as they are revealed]  Right.

  Boris Badenov : Okay!

  [Boris cuts a rope, dropping a safe out a hotel window toward an unsuspecting Bullwinkle and Rocky below] 

  Natasha Fatale : ...But in front are two more words: "Do Not".

  Boris Badenov : [reading the full message]  "Do Not Keel Moose"... Oh, Boris, you impetuous boy. What have you done?

  Natasha Fatale : Better yet, what will you do?

  Boris Badenov : Save him! I've got to save him!

  [Boris rushes down several flights of stairs as the safe continues to fall] 

  Narrator : Boris raced to beat the heavy safe to the ground, and he won!

  [the safe lands on top of Boris just outside the hotel entrance, driving him into the ground with a crash] 

  Narrator : ...Almost. The heavy safe drove him into the ground like a tent stake! Bullwinkle's keen mind knew instantly what had happened.

  Bullwinkle J. Moose : Hey, up there! You dropped your safe!

• Narrator : In the next few days, our boys worked like demons. Measuring, sifting, rolling, baking. And the results were tremendous! Seven-layer cheesecakes, hot fudge strudel, an acre of cinnamon pizzas, and two hundred pounds of peanut brittle! Unfortunately, none of it would explode.
