Transcript:
Rip Haywire: New Year, new problems to punch in the mouth... what's the trouble, ma'am? Woman: Muh-muh husband, Flapjack Lumberson, is missing! (Short-sniffle!) Rip Haywire: When's the last time you saw your... Flapjack? Woman: We were just married and (sniffle) he got in the limousine and then he was gone! And I was (snort) right behind him! TNT: Did you notice anything strange, like his hat hanging in the air behind him, or a cloud of dust and distinct "ka-flee" sound? Rip Haywire: Most of them run before they say "I do," Rip. Voice: Where to Rip? How are we going to find our missing person? Voice 2: Well, Flapjack Lumberson was last seen at the starlight chapel. Rip Haywire: Spur, what are you doing here? Spur: I'm the justice of the peace... we lost the pastor in a shoot-out at starlight's last 4th of July party. It's a small town, but a mean one. And the DJ keep playing "Who Let the Dogs Out"! TNT: I'll wait in the truck. Rip Haywire: Maybe the man we're looking for was just a runaway groom, Spur. Weddings can be stressful! TNT: Most of them run before they say "I do" Rip.
