Bart Collins:
How much are you being paid overtime?

Mr. Zabladowski:
Two thousand pastoolas.

Bart Collins:
Two thousand WHAT?

Mr. Zabladowski:
Two thousand pastoolas. Dr. Terwilliker doesn't pay me in American money - he keeps that for himself. He pays me in pastoolas.

Bart Collins:
What are pastoolas?

Mr. Zabladowski:
If you must know, the currency here is a little strange. First of all, in the small money comes the drakmids. At the regular, normal rate of exchange, there are 59 drakmids to one silver zlobeck.

Bart Collins:
"Zlobeck"?

Mr. Zabladowski:
Three silver zlobecks make one golden kratchmuk. A pastoola normally is, uh, 44,000 kratchmuks. But these, they tell me, are not normal times...

Bart Collins:
Pastoolas, kratchmuks... How much do you get American?

Mr. Zabladowski:
Precisely twenty bucks. Show me a better job, and I'll take it.
