Burton: (VO) Previously on $ale of the Century....Greg: In total, this number could be worth $1,481,309. Bob has been controlling his breathing for the last three minutes, and the whole audience has been on pins and needles. Minnie..... what is behind.... #14?
(Minnie flips over #14......)
[LOT WIN CUE, BELLS AND SIRENS][The Cash Jackpot Sign comes back down along with a deluge of balloons and confetti, Minnie hands Bob the "Grundy Cash Suitcase"]
Greg: Bob Verini, you are leaving us with a grand total of....
$1,509,701 in cash and prizes.
Steve: (VO) $ale of the Century stars Greg..... $ale of the Century stars Greg.....Palmer. This is Stev.. WHO STARTED THE FIRE???[After Steve signs off and Greg's credit disappears from the screen, there's a technical malfunction, as somehow, the car is now on fire. Bob V., Minnie, and Greg quickly vacate as Greg wonders what's going on.]
[We immediately cut to Billy Joel at his piano, surrounded by Steve and several Disney characters from the audience (in this case, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Max Goof, Brer Fox, Nick Wilde, Jake the kangaroo rat, Elsa, Baymax, Kylo Ren, C-3PO, Powerline, Pain, Panic, Dr. Facilier, Evil Queen, Maleficent and Black Widow). None of them seem to be concerned with the fire. Greg quickly calls the fire department and arms himself with a fire extinguisher, but it's no good. The fire spreads to the rest of the set, as Greg looks on in horror. And soon, the fire hits the gas tank of the car, as the car explodes. The entire studio explodes as fire engulfs the screen.]
[Greg wakes up upset, rips off his sleep mask, and turns on the lamp. He wakes to find he's in his bedroom at home. He also notices there's someone else in his bed. He nudges awake this mystery person, who gets up. It's Bob Newhart.]
(The next morning....)
(We fade in at the former Stark Mansion, now belonging to the new Iron Man.)
Greg: (VO) If you're wondering whose mansion this is, it's mine. Tony left it to me when he killed himself saving the world. It's one of the things he fixed with that finger snap. The next morning went on as usual, until....
(We go inside Greg's kitchen, where we find Bob Newhart making breakfast, trying to figure out Tony's extremely advanced, $18,000 coffee machine.)
Bob: Oh, good, good morning. How do you work this thing?Greg: (VO) I discovered that some of what had happened the night before wasn't a dream at all. Bob Newhart was in my kitchen.
Greg: Friday?
FRIDAY [voiced by Kerry Condon]: (VO) Yes, boss?Greg: What is a 70s comedy icon doing in my kitchen?
FRIDAY: (VO) After he used the facilities, he went into another bedroom and went back to sleep. I figured you didn't want me to kick him out. I mean, look at him. (Bob accidentally shoots out some milk)
A 90-year-old man trying so hard to stay relevant.Greg: I have an idea.
(After breakfast, Bob is dressed in a rather conservative suit he borrowed from Tony Stark's wardrobe. He and Greg are both outside.)
Greg: Now, Bob, how did you get here?
Bob: Well, I'm, not really sure, to be quite honest.Greg: (to himself) Maybe it's Loki pulling tricks on me. (to FRIDAY) Friday, do you have Mr. Newhart's address?
FRIDAY: (VO) I certainly do.
Bob: Who said that? (Bob looks around for the voice)
Greg: That's FRIDAY, the Female Replacement Intelligent Digital Assistant Youth. She's my assistant, my girl Friday as it were. (Bob politely chuckles) Anyway, we've got to get you home. So, we're going to send you back to your address in an Iron Man suit. You're going to be.... "Iron Bob".
Bob: Did, did you say, "Fly"? (Bob looks rather uncomfortable with the idea)
Greg: I can't drive you home. I don't have a car.
Bob: I could always call an Uber, or, or something.Greg: Nah, don't worry, you'll be fine. Friday, prepare the miniature arc reactor. (a drone flies out and hands the arc reactor to Greg, who approaches Bob and attaches the reactor to Bob's suit) Activate suit Mark 85. (Greg steps back as the components of Iron Man Armor MK LXXXV click together as the rest of the suit forms; now, Bob is Iron Man; he looks at himself, we look inside the Heads-Up Display)
Bob: Whoa.... I am Iron Man.(back outside) Greg: That's right. Now, relax and leave the flying to Friday. Friday, take him home. (And suddenly, Bob blasts off and starts flying back to Beverly Hills) Well, there he goes. As for me... I believe it's time for me to fly! (Greg activates his bracelet, then stretches out his hand and arm as he activates his brain synapses and the armor forms around him,
the 1996 Iron Man theme plays as the armor forms and he blasts off)
