'Whose Line Is It Anyway' question

I'm working on a mock infomercial project right now and I thought of something that would really help me.

I'm trying to remember some of the banter between Ryan and Colin during the "Song Styles" bits. You know, the skit where Wayne sings and Ryan and Colin act like infomercial pitchmen. I remember their comments to the viewer and to each other being really funny, but I can't remember any specifics. How about you? Or is there a website that has some kind of transcript? Or downloadable clips of that skit?

Thanks for your help.

They did this almost every episode that I saw, so tune in and see

It is just typical sales person type stuff like "how much would you pay?!" with little jokes thrown int (like maybe one will respond "Nothing! because I live in a dumpster!")

The shows on ABC family every night if you need to catch a few episodes to jog the memory.

They had so many good lines back and forth that it's so hard to remember specific ones off the top of my head.

I do remember one that had me rolling. It went something like this:

Ryan: So, Colin, how much would you pay for a 10 CD set such as this?

Colin: (Excited) Are you kidding?! I'd be willing to pay as much as $100!

Ryan: (looking embarrassed) Oh, well, we're selling it for $200. Moving on, then.

Here's a couple of links I found to help you out.

The first is a series of transcripts from some of their "Greatest Hits" skits (the ones where Ryan and Colin are trying to sell an album and Wayne has to sing the song in a particular style of music:

http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/L.../greatest.html

The second one features one of their "Home Shopping" skits (where they're trying to sell a weird product):

Hope that helps.

Ryan: You know, Colin, these CDs make great gifts as well. Who could you give one to?

Colin: Why, if I had anyone in my life, it'd be them!

Ryan: Hey, why don't you buy one for me this Christmas?!

Colin: Sure, like I'm made of money. But let's get back to some of the tunes.

Colin: Tapioca!!!!! Tapioca!!!!!!!

Ryan: What's that Colin?

Colin: Why it's that great Ricky Ricardo song. Isn't it?

Ryan begins laughing and can't quit for about 5 minutes while Colin looks puzzled.

Colin: We'll be back to our nature documentary, "Baggy - the Anorexic Elephant", in just a second.
Ryan: You know... hey Colin,
Colin: Yes Ryan?
Ryan: Question: Is this CD set safe for the kid?
Colin: Answer: yes it is! And not only that, it's cholestorol free... alright, moving right along...
Ryan: We've put together 60 songs on a 2 CD set about the exterminator.
Colin: That's right. We have more hits than Dodgers opponents. And we're gonna start off with one of our favourite rockabilly straight from the Stray Cats, "Oooh, A Spider".

My favorite Ryan/Colin bit is (I think) from the british version. Colin starts babbling about something, Ryan taps him on the forehead and says "Sleep!" and Colin goes lights out for about 15 seconds. Cracked me up.
