Fred: (offscreen) Go.

Space Chicken: (offscreen) I don't want to.

Fred: (offscreen) Come on.

Space Chicken: (offscreen) Why me?

Fred: (offscreen) Because everyone likes you.

Space Chicken: (offscreen) Ugh, fine.

(Space Chicken comes unto the screen, then looks at the screen)

Space Chicken: Hi everybody. It's me, Space Chicken. Listen, um, due to some technical difficulties...

(Space Chicken turns to Fred)

Space Chicken: I-I can't lie to them, though.

Fred: (offscreen) Just do it!

(Space Chicken turns around, looks around, then grabs a paper and marker[1], takes the point off it and writes something, then turns the paper around revealing it to say "Fred's Laziness")

Space Chicken: Due to some technical difficulties, (as he says "technical" and "difficulties", the paper goes into the screen more and more, then backs up) cartoon section's[2] not quite up yet. But we're working on it.

(Space Chicken turns to Fred)

Space Chicken: They're gonna wanna know how long it's gonna be.

Fred: I don't know, make something up.

(Space Chicken turns to screen)

Space Chicken: Something should be up within the next couple of days.

Fred: What are you, nuts? (Space Chicken turns to him) Are you gonna sit here animating 24/7? I have a life, you know.

(Space Chicken turns to screen)

Space Chicken: Give or take a week. Okay, see you there.

(Space Chicken leaves the screen)

Space Chicken: (offscreen) Was[3] that okay?

Fred: (offscreen) Yeah, I think they got it.

(words "The End" appear, then)

Space Chicken: Wow, what a difference a month makes.

Fred: Yeah, I know. That ending sounds so much better now.

("back" and "again" appears)

(long pause)

Space Chicken: (offscreen) How many people you think are gonna wait around to see if we say anything else?

Fred: I don't know, well, 3.

Footnote

 * 1) This marker is called Pointy Marker.
 * 2) This word could also be "section is", and not "section's".
 * 3) This word could also be "is".

Trivia

 * The ending sound was commented that it was so much better than in Coming Soon!. This exact same sound was used for future cartoons, but ceased starting with Blast to the Past, since it was remade in that cartoon and was used for future cartoons starting from that one.
 * 3 is mentioned in this cartoon. This number is mentioned cartoons later.
 * The Pointy Marker is seen again in 3-2-1 Relaunch Part 4 (during the Cloe part).

Remarks

 * Although SC has no hands, he still manages to hold paper and marker (called Pointy Marker).
