Show: Atomic Blast Levels Fantasy
Island
Ross
interrupts Moose's intro because he is coughing uncontrollably.
He blames it on his cigarette. Upon this, Moose asks
why he smokes, and Ross says it's because he enjoys
the "fresh taste."
Jami
tells Christine that his ancestors introduced tobacco
to the white men so they would die of lung cancer.
Later, Jami tells Christine about his new job at the
barber shop, which he just lost. He doesn't care,
though -- he managed to cut off six scalps before
being caught, and then goes after Moose for a seventh.
Kevin
and Jami fight over a peace pipe.
And,
Les steps out of character to give an anti-smoking
message.

QUOTES
Mr.
Schidtler: Jami, are you smoking?
Jami: No, sir, I'm Burning!
Kevin:
And then he set me free! And the Ayatollah HIMSELF
drove me home! And that's the whole truth, Dad!
Senator Prevert: I didn't believe
a word you said!
Kevin: But several of those words
I said were true! And ... if ... but...
Christine:
I want to give a commendation and a special medal
of bravery to Les Lye, who plays all the adults on
the show, for smoking all those cigarettes, because
Les doesn't smoke cigarettes. Les, if you can speak,
tell us.
Les: (coughing) Sorry. Actually,
I thought it was ... rather gross, Moose. I can't
believe people actually pay to smoke cigarettes, and
I will *never* ... do it again |
