bugs runs to each work site, and each of the doppelgängers is now malfunctioning, repeating short lines like broken records. inspecting each, he discovers all of them are made on planet nudnik (a yiddish word for "tedious") and reasons it is a hostile corporate takeover. bugs decides that if he gets rid of the clones, the original characters will return. he rounds up each of the clones in a bag of "pale stereotypes," ties the bag to a rocket, lights the rocket into space (where e.t. makes a cameo) and sends the clones careening toward a black hole, which swallows the bag and rocket whole.
