Bright Side of the Moon

This is a sub-page of Sam & Max Save the World.

Unused Dialogue#

Any spelling errors in the subtitles are left as-is.

Dialogue in blue is only present in the GameTap version of the game. These lines are not present in the english.langdb subtitles file.
Dialogue in italics is used in other parts of the game but is included here for context.

General#

Dialogue ID	Character	Subtitles
48227200	Sam	It's been a long time since we've seen Sergeant Blip and the rest of the Rubber Pants Commandos.
48227328	Max	I heard they had a nasty break-up once the commandos started to hit puberty.
48227456	Sam	I suppose the diaper isn't as adorable when you're wearing a wispy teenage mustache.
There are four generic conversations from Max before he gets blissed out. This fifth dialogue choice, "Remember Sergeant Blip?" references Sam & Max's rarely-seen bailer-outers.
47772544	Max	Well, we'll just have to jimmy it open.
The last line of Max's hint for "How do I get in that lunar lander?" was cut, probably because it made the solution too obvious.
48389376	Sam	I put the display case in the microwave, but nothing happened!
48389504	Max	Mircowaves don't really get very HOT, do they?
Sam can try putting the display case in the microwave, but this hint from Max can't be triggered. The Max hint prompt isn't in the subtitles file, either.
47878912	Sam	I'd like to help Mr. Featherly with his rat trick.
47879040	Max	That rat looks very familiar.
An alternate result for the hint prompt, "How do we help Featherly?", probably before talking to Jimmy on Earth. Max's blissed-out voice is different here, much lower-pitched.

Moon Surface#

Dialogue ID	Character	Subtitles
47230208	Sam	Who are you now?
47232256	Harry	I've gone back to being Harry Moleman. Or I should say, I've gone forward!
47232384	Harry	Prismatology has helped me find a new me where the old one used to be.
The dialogue choice "Who are you now?" would have probably been unlocked after asking Harry Moleman if he was still a criminal. Doesn't, though.
47580032	Sam	Would you like to join Prismatology?
47580160	Harry	What? I'm already a member.
47580288	Harry	I'm sure I told you that, are you deaf or just -- no, no, wait, that's the old Harry talking. Think yellow thoughts, yellow.
The inaccessible dialogue choice, "Care to join Prismatology?", might have unlocked after putting the unicorn in the microwave and attaining red-level Prismatology status. What a strange sentence. What an odd game.

Streets#

Dialogue ID	Character	Subtitles
47536768	Sam	"Ceolacanth: The Other Endangered Meat"
48037376	Max	Tastes just like passenger pigeon!
The aforementioned poster would have replaced the "Impeach Max!" graphic on the Wall o' Posters. It was instead placed on the outside of Bosco's store, where it can't be clicked upon.

Office#

Dialogue ID	Dialogue	Character	Subtitles
48294528		Sam	Nope, no more TV-watching until we finish this case.
In a perfect world, using the Coat Hanger on the TV would trigger this response from Sam.

Bosco's#

Dialogue ID	Character	Subtitles
48109568	Sam	Remember to wash your adorable paws, pal.
A new line for clicking the bathroom door, and a neat little reference to the first published Sam & Max comic. The game recycles the dialogue from previous episodes instead.
48884608	Sam	Hi, Jimmy!
47951360	Jimmy	Hi! I'm Hugh Bliss!
47956096	Sam	Of course you are.
47956224	Jimmy	Anyone less enlightened might be miffed that you'd fed him to a voracious green monster, but I forgive you.
47957504	Max	I forgive you, too, Sam.
47959552	Jimmy	Actually, I like it in here.
Jimmy Two-Teeth is unique in that he can be "rescued" either before or after Earth gets blissed. This dialogue would be used if he was left on Earth, fed to Gluttonus Max, and then visited by Sam & Max. The final game uses Jimmy's standard standoffish personality regardless of where he was when Earth was blissed.
47958272	Sam	You say you like it here?
47958400	Jimmy	It's peaceful. Good for meditation. I'm staying.
47962752	Max	He has a point.
In the final game, Sam will automatically use the Gastrokinesis Talisman after entering Max's stomach. This dialogue implies that the player would have to use it manually, and they'd be able to interact with Max & Jimmy before exiting.
47959680	Sam	I can get you out of here if you want.
47961088	Jimmy	You'll have to drag me kicking and screaming.
47961216	Jimmy	Or at least holding on for dear life. I don't kick and scream much any more.
This conversation also suggests that Jimmy would have remained in the stomach even after Sam & Max left, instead of being vomited out soon after.
48161536	Sam	Nothing up my sleeve...
Meant to be used when Sam pulls Max's stomach (and Jimmy) out of the Magician's hat, but there's no good place for it in that scene.

Sybil's#

Dialogue ID	Character	Subtitles
48059264	Sam	"Relax". Sorry, too busy.
This line was recorded before the "Relax" sign transformed into the "Relax, Eh!" sign.
48064384	Sam	All we need is a tattoo of a snake eating a porcupine while saying, "I love you mom."
48912000	Max	It's all anyone needs, really.
There are two versions of the Tattoo Designs dialogue, though the only difference is that after Max gets blissed out, his line gets cut. The game mistakenly uses the blissed-out version every time.
48070144	Sam	All the clippings are from Canadian papers.
Early version of the line, "These must be Canadian newspapers."
50491006	Sam	It's a two-four, eh?
Clicking on the case of "Beer, Eh!" should play this line of dialogue instead of the default "Nothin' special." clip.
47682560	Sam	What's next on the career horizon?
47711104	Sybil	Next? What could be better than being Queen?
47711232	Sam	She does have a point.
47711360	Max	Just wait until the Canadians start looking for someone to behead.
The dialogue choice, "What's your next job?" is never unlocked, so this conversation is never heard.
47690880	Sam	Are you sure you don't need any help with your monarchy?
47691008	Sybil	Well, you could help us study. All these weird provinces and cities.
47693824	Sybil	And what's the deal with this whole "metric" system, anyway?
A conversation for choosing the "Need any help?" choice subsequent times, but that choice disappears from the dialogue tree after selecting it once.
48694144	Sam	Any more ideas for Canadian improvement?
48694272	Sybil	We're still working with our Ministry of the Interior Decorators.
These lines are for choosing the "How will you improve Canada?" choice again, but the game plays the first conversation every time.
47801088	Sam	Sybil's being nice? That doesn't sound so bad.
47801216	Lincoln	Women are supposed to be cold and aloof!
47801344	Lincoln	It's throwing me off my game.
Nine different responses from Lincoln were recorded, but only seven were used in the final game. This was originally the third conversation.
47809408	Sam	So I suppose you'll soon be the King of Canada!
47809536	Max	Kingdoms are outdated concepts, Samuel!
47809664	Max	We are all brothers united in the realm of imagination.
47809792	Lincoln	Oh, so it wasn't enough to steal the election, now you're trying to steal my throne?
What would have been the penultimate conversation with Lincoln. Even in his newly blissed-out state, Max manages to crush Lincoln's spirits.
48658816	Sam	Hey Lincoln, wanna rub my unicorn?
48658944	Lincoln	I don't have any hands. I'd have to use my mouth.
48659072	Sam	Let's not cross that line.
Using the Unicorn on Lincoln in Sybil's would give new results. Guess they didn't even want to approach the line, much less cross it.

Moon Retreat#

Dialogue ID	Character	Subtitles
47481472	Sam	How'd you get suckered into this Prismatology nonsense?
47481600	Lincoln	As I was lying there in the debris and destruction, my body shattered, I had a lot of time to think.
47481728	Max	No need to thank us! Just doing our job.
47481856	Lincoln	I thought, what I wouldn't give for someone, anyone, to pick me up and get me out of here.
47481984	Lincoln	And that's exactly what Hugh Bliss did.
While it's possible to ask ~~Featherly~~ Philo Pennyworth and the C.O.P.S. why they joined Prismatology, a similar dialogue choice for old Abe is conspicuously absent. This is also the only explanation on how Lincoln got to the moon at all.
47482112	Sam	So what does a reanimated statue head cult member do for fun?
47482240	Lincoln	The brothers and I play boardgames, "20 Questions", "I Spy", that kind of thing. It's all fun, except for Thursdays.
47482368	Sam	What's on Thursdays?
47482496	Lincoln	"Keep Away From Lincoln".
An extra dialogue option, "What do you do for fun?", which would probably unlock after asking Lincoln about Prismatology.
48704384	Sam	What's behind that big lead door at the top of the elevator?
48704512	Lincoln	That's the most sacred area in all of Prismatology: Hugh Bliss' inner sanctum!
48704640	Sam	I suppose even wacky cult leaders need a little private time now and then.
This would unlock after looking at the lead door at the top of the retreat. No choice text for this conversation exists.
47482624	Sam	What's inside Hugh Bliss' inner sanctum?
47482752	Lincoln	I've never seen it! Only the highest-level Prismatologists get in there.
The last unused Lincoln dialogue option, "What's inside the inner sanctum?", would unlock after asking about the lead door.
47491456	Max	Just be mean to her. Women love bad boys.
After Lincoln says "I wouldn't know what to say!", Max was meant to give this bit of advice.
48706688	Lincoln	I'm not good at this! Help me out here, guys!
Would have played after offering to help Lincoln get a date subsequent times.
47641728	Sam	Come on, you can spare the talisman just for a minute or two.
47641088	Bob	We're sorry. That power is currently in use! We're working hard to create an unbeatable AI. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Asking to borrow the talisman a second time would have given a new line of dialogue from Sam. Not a big loss.
48741376	Sam	What's behind the door at the top of the elevator?
48741504	Curt	THAT IS THE INNER SANCTUM OF THE MASTER HIMSELF.
48741632	Max	Oh boy! What goes on back there?
48741760	Bob	No one knows! But it's got to be incredible, and it's coming your way soon!
The C.O.P.S. talk about what's behind the lead door in this enthralling but deleted scene.
49684608	Bug	Hey Max, is that our bug?
Oops. Someone forgot that the Organic Listening Device is supposed to mimic characters exactly instead of just repeating what they say.

Laser Room#

Dialogue ID	Dialogue	Character	Subtitles
49039488		Sam	Nooooo...
49607424		Sam	...oooooo!!!
After Sam screams "Nooooo..." and the camera cuts to the shot of the moon, the scream was supposed to go on a bit longer.
49867136		Sam	You'll never get away with this, Hugh Bliss!
49867264		Hugh	That's what they all say!
49867392		Sam	Yeah, I was going for that classic hero-villain banter there.
Sam can't talk to Hugh Bliss in the final game. Trying to click on Hugh Bliss will just trigger the crystal barrier dialogue instead.
49867520		Sam	Hey! Hugh Bliss!
49867648		Sam	Guess he's busy soaking up the happiness of his hypnotized followers.
Trying to talk to Hugh again would do no good.
48237696		Sam	Wow! It's bulletproof!
This is probably an early response for trying to shoot Hugh's crystal barrier, though the line is so generic that it could have been used for any number of bulletproof things.
49026688		Sam	Max is magically sealed inside!
Dialogue for clicking the crystal barrier during the second Laser Room sequence. Neither Max nor the barrier are ever in frame during that entire sequence.
50082944		Sam	Max, help me!
50083072		Max	Quiet, Sam, I'm watching a show!
50084736		Sam	What?!
50083200		Max	Just kidding! But it doesn't matter. I'm trapped in here!
50083840		Max	Try not to die!
Since Max is never in frame in the second Laser Room scene, he can't be clicked on. Given what happened to Hugh Bliss, it's not certain whether this would trigger even if he was in frame.
49855104		Sam	Max turned the beam white!
49855872		Sam	Is it real, or is it...illusion?
If the crystal barrier isn't in frame, and Max isn't in frame, then the Rainbow Beam definitely isn't in frame.
49859456		Sam	"The Rainbow Wheel of DEATH".
There are two different lines for clicking on the Rainbow Wheel of Death. This would play after he frees himself from the wheel, but the game plays the "I think I'm gonna be sick!" line even after he's freed.
49935744		Hugh	Oh no!
49935872		Hugh	Oh my!
49936000		Hugh	Oh dear!
Some mock-scared lines from Hugh which would probably play after using the Magic Talisman in the Magic Saw Box.
49990656		Sam	That wouldn't be a good idea!
Another line that's too generic to properly pinpoint the correct context. Maybe trying to make Sam use the saw on himself?
49885440		Sam	"The Cleansing Bath of ANNIHILATION".
Like the Rainbow Wheel of Death, the game uses Sam's trapped dialogue for the water tank even after he switches places with Hugh.
50452096	N/A	(Game Script)	Sam blasts off into space. Everyone just watches.
50452224		Max	Um, Sam?
50452352		Sam	Hmm, not my best move.
This situation would only be possible if Sam could use the Lunar Lander Key on the Lunar Lander after switching places with Hugh in the Magic Saw Box. Unfortunately, your inventory is locked at this point, and you're forced to use the saw.
50453760	N/A	(Game Script)	Lander starts up and heats water to a boil, but Hugh is not inside.
50454144		Sam	WATCH THIS!
50454912		Max	You just boiled water, Sam. It's not Baked Alaska!
Similar to the previous unused scene, though at this point Sam has already used the saw on the Lunar Lander.

Unused Graphics#

The textures below can only be found in the GameTap release.

Filename: env_nightsky_trailer

The night sky texture from the E3 2006 trailer somehow made it into this episode, possibly as a reference image for the starry background used outside of the retreat.

Filename: env_moonretreatkaleidend

A flat texture for the roller coaster ride that's similar to the entrance tunnel for the ride. Judging from the filename, this would be used inside the much smaller exit tunnel.

env_citybg_b	env_citybg106

env_citybg_b is a preliminary version of the night sky background used in Sam & Max's office. The final version is at a higher resolution (1024x1024 compared to the early image's 512x512) and the color palette is drearier.
