and utter loony bin.  (Clips from various episodes, including this one
:-)

Yeah, I like that too!

RanmaR:  It's a method of traveling to alternate Earths.  We "ride" along
a sort of connector--

Kasumi:  The Einstein-Tezuka-Takahashi bridge?

       (RanmaR facefaults.)

TofuR:  Very good, Kasumi.  Like my wife, you have a keen mind behind
that beautiful face.

Wyrm-chan: Smarter than she looks!

You kiddin'? She's BRILLIANT!

AkaneR:  Well, Ranma did ask, and I was thinking about my answer, but
then we went Riding, and the timer got broken, and all sorts of things
happened, and we're hopelessly lost.

You can't win, can you?

RanmaR:  I guess I owe a lot of it to my father.  He said I'd be the best
at something, and it turned out to be science.  He was always pushing me
to study harder, innovate better, learn more.  he died a couple of years
back, and the Riding device is at least partially my tribute to him.  Is
my father still alive here?

IE, Brainiac Ranma.

RanmaR:  Our version is Ryouga "Crying Man" Hibiki, rising karaoke star.

I woulda thought comidian.

Kasumi:  These, and these look right.  (Holds one up.)  Why is Mickey
Mouse on the 500 yen bill?

RanmaR:  Long story.

Hail to the chief!

Chibi-Usa: M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!

Kunou (off):  Akane Tendou!  At last you have come to me!

       (She turns around and sees Kunou, bokken in hand, rushing towards her.)

AkaneR:  Ack!  Dark Emperor Kunou!  You'll never take me alive!  (Draws a
flashlight from her belt, which sprouts an energy blade.)

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

       (They spar.)

Doncha mean "fight"? Akane thinks its the Emperor, after all, and I don't
think she'd be kind to him.

       (Kunou's lovable but slightly wonky sister bounds into the picture.)

Kodachi:  No!  The evil Akane must be slain so I can be with my beloved
Lord Ranma!  HOOHOOHOO hoohoohoo HOOHOOHOO!

SLIGHTLY wonky?!

RyougaR:  (sotto voce) Hey, hey, hey!  It's that cute waitress I met on
the world of no clothing!

H-Wyrm: If I had my way, she wouldn't have much use for clothing in this
reality, either.

(Wyrm-chan mallets him.)

 Now she was a wildcat in bed.  I'll bet the
same lines work on her.  *chuckle*

       (He walks up to the Chinese girl.)

RyougaR:  Hi, sweetheart.  You probably don't know me, but I'm the Crying
Man, and right now, I'm crying for some sweet loving from you.

Shampoo:  Nihao, Ryouga.  Why for you sweet talk Shampoo?  Shampoo
thought Ryouga like Akane!

RyougaR:  That's in the past, my purple-haired dumpling.  She has eyes
for no one but R-Ball, and I'm a man who needs a flexible woman.  (Starts
stroking her shoulder.)  I know how to please you.  (whispers in her ear.)

Shampoo:  Aiyah!  How Ryouga know that?!  Shampoo never even tell
Great-Grandmother she like that!

(Wrapped in black cloak) Who knows what desires lurk in the heart of
Shampoo? The Shadow knows!

       (Mousse appears.)

Mousse:  Ranma!  Take your hands off my beloved Shampoo!

RyougaR:  Uh oh, jealous boyfriend.  But I don't look that much like Ranma.

Shampoo:  Silly Mousse!  This not Ranma!

Mousse:  (Peers through glasses)  Hmm, moustache.  Good Lord!  Mr.
Tendou!?  How could you, sir?  Robbing the cradle!

Maybe you should get your perscription checked, Mousse!

RyougaR:  Time to become "Running Man" Hibiki!  Feet don't fail me now!

Casts RLAMF (oh, and that's "Feets, don't fail me now!")

Ryouga:  Ranma!  At last I have found you!

RanmaR:  No need to be so melodramatic, Ryouga.  It's only been a couple
of hours.  Say, where's your moustache?

Ryouga:  I will finally have my vengeance for all the misfortunes you
have visited upon me!

Maybe it's time for Ryouga to update his cliche file. :)

RanmaR:  Chill out, Ryouga.  You were the one who reset the timer, remember?

Ryouga:  You can't trick me with your babbling!  DIE, RANMA!

Ever notice that when Ranma really tries to trick him, Ryouga's always
fooled? And when he's telling the truth, Ryouga doesn't believe him?

Ryouga:  You're still a man!  How have you done this?  Give me the cure!
(Hauls RanmaR up by his lapels.)

Hate to break it to you, Ryouga, but there IS no cure! Besides, manhandling
people demanding cures will give you bad Karma. You wanna wind up as
something worse? :)
