Plot

In a live action sequence, a reporter interviewing Max Fleischer asks him about Betty Boop. Max obligingly draws Betty "out of the inkwell" and asks her to perform a couple of numbers. Song and dance numbers from Stopping the Show, Betty Boop's Bamboo Isle, and The Old Man of the Mountain are used.[2]

In the end, Betty jumps back into the inkwell, accidentally splashing ink into the reporter's face.

gollark: Of course, we can't actually work out what these numbers *are*.
gollark: "First" being "least absolute value" with a tiebreaker for negative numbers or something.
gollark: "First number not describable by any property other than this one", "second number not describable by any property other than this one", etc.
gollark: I think you can use similar logic to the proof that all numbers are interesting to disprove this?
gollark: So if anything wants to know the IP, it *has* to - indirectly - contact my server.
