WhatChuTinkWeCameHereForToEat?! He said "read", not "eat", I think. I don't know. The group comes in and sits at the little table, and Estrella comes over and asked, 'So you want to know your fortune?' to which Cousin Balki says the line, 'What Do You Think We Came Here For, To Eat?' So I figure in context, sitting down and then being approached, the 'Eat' line seems to fit better than the word read.

I guess then it would probably be 'eat".

To be fair to Gila Monster and Shrews, MST3K just obtained really bad copies of those films. I've seen Shrews on Google Video and was surprised I was able to understand every word. Maybe it's just me, but I had no problems understanding the dialogue in either one of those, though it is true that they were working with really trashed old prints.

Another example of poor sound tracks... the first General Hospital clip they did (jumps to the part I mean): youtu.be/fSmI5uCiy2Q?t=2m14s
Although, the whole thing is very muffled and hard to understand really. Y'know, I think that might just be that one actress mumbling her line. I never had any trouble understanding the dialogue in the General Hospital segments, although they do suffer from the kind of soundtrack issues as most old kinescope reels of that era. They all sound real midrange-y.

Oh, holy jeez, how could I have possibly forgotten that climactic scene towards the end of The Beatniks, right before the alley fight behind the recording studio with Eddie and Moon? Pick it up at around 01:25:15... ...and take a good guess at just what in the Hell, Michigan Peter Breck is supposed to be saying there... "I'm gonna spread you..." ...whaa?I reckon he's saying "I'm gonna spread you all over this alley." For what it's worth.
