Gwen noted a possible back-up option to the black-out: "There""s an emergency reset at the power plant.Previous films had only made fun of drunks and lushes (e.g.,The Thin Manseries, or W.C.Fields"" films).Its release was threatened when the alcohol industry offered to purchase the film""s negative and remove it from circulation, but then praised and supported the film following its popular release (and critical success).The group of terrestrials are bound and taken to the palace of the King of the moon people.On his planet""s splendid throne, the King is surrounded by living stars.President Barbenfouillis makes a dash at the King of the Selenites, picks him up, and violently dashes him to the ground, causing him to burst like a bombshell.You should know that in the Army it""s not the individual that counts.Well, you""ll find that we won""t put any pressure on you in my outfit.Just don""t make any mistakes in it, that""s all.The tough but fair and by-the-book First Sergeant Warden has little respect for the arrogant commander who leaves the running of the company to him: "He""d strangle in his own spit if he didn""t have me around here to swab his throat out for him.
