Charles Rocket: Well, now, "Update Fashions", with our own Fashion Editor Tiffany Fleur.
Tiffany Fleur: Bonjour, mes amies. I am Tiffany Fleur. Welcome to my very first fashion show for engineering students. May I present Paul. [ cut to Paul parading on the runway ] Paul is a mechanical engineer from MIPU. Throw away those calculators - the slide rule is back. And Paul wears his attractive leather hip holster to prove it. He's ready for any calculation. Paul's ensemble is completed by his pocket pen/pencil holder. Handcrafted in practical vinyl, of course. But watch out - at night, when the animal in Paul breaks loose, he'll switch to ze daring after-dark blue. Thank you, Paul. [ Robert enters ] Entre, Robert. Robert is an electrical engineering student from Cal Tech, and sports the summer at the beach look. Under his functional tuck, Robert wears the go-anywhere pen and pencil holder, which is of course neatly glued to his chest. So, whether it's a quick algebraic equation at the cafe, or an intimate evening at home with the computer, you're always in style with Tiffany Fleur designer fashions for the engineering student. And that is finis with the Fashion Report [ cut back to Tifany at the newsdesk ] I have been Tiffany Fleur, bye bye.

Gail Matthius: Thank you very much, Tiffany.. and Robert and Paul. Now, it has been a huge week in sports, and here now to tell us all about it is our own Joooeee Piscopo!
Joe Piscopo: Thanks, Gail! Hello again, everyone! Joe Piscopo, live! Saturday Night Sports. The big story - tomorrow. Super Sunday. Superbowl! Superdome! Eagles! Raiders! Winner? Who cares? When I think "Superbowl", I think Steelers! Cowboys! Not Eagles-Raiders. I think Bradshaw, Starback - not Joworsky, Plunkett. Someone should look into why two mediocre teams that nobody cares about are playing in New Orleans tomorrow! Let's take a look at the so-called Superteams! [ camera zooms out to reveal a miniature electronic football table in front of Joe ] Look at this, you call this football! Unbelievable! Look at this guy, what the heck is he doing? I think that the Eagles will score by a touchdown! Either that, or they just might score a field goal! The Eagles by a touchdown, that's the sports. Joe Piscopo, Saturday Night! Gail.
Gail Matthius: Thank you, Joe!

Charles Rocket: Well, claims against Iran will be a legal nightmare. According to specialists, procedures for transfer of the fund will take at least nine months! Well, with us tonight is one of the people caught up in the massive exchange of assets.. our own, Mr. Eddie Murphy.
Eddie Murphy: Thanks, Charles. A while back, I paid this dude $80 up front for an ounce of Iranian hashish. Now, I asked if he was from Iran, he said donn't worry about that, right? Two weeks laters, I went to get my reefer, and he told me he didn't have it. So I said, "Man, you got to give me my money back." Do you know that that dude told me that his assets were frozen? I said, "Hey, man, don't me tell me about no frozen assets, because I gave you my heating oil money for that reefer!" Right? So, I took the dude hostage, and I ain't giving him back until Iran.. #1: Give me my $80; #2: Give me an ounce of that good Iranian reefer; and #3: Give me some of that Iranian oil, 'cause I been freezing my assets off all winter! Back to you, Charlie.

Charles Rocket: Thanks, Eddie, always a pleasure. Eddie Murphy. Thanks so much. For Gail Matthius and the entire "Weekend Update" team, I'm Charles Rocket. Good night, and watch out.
