[Fade in on an image of a building with a sign
reading: McKAY FUNERAL HOME. Somber organ music plays.
Dissolve to the interior where a man and woman stand
behind a huge wooden casket paying tearful last
respects. In the background, other mourners sit in
chairs awaiting the start of the funeral. The man
kisses the woman, they cross themselves and exit left
just as another couple enter from the right, briefly
pay their respects and take a seat with the others.
Next, three mumbling members of the Brasky Bunch
enter, drinking from large glasses half full of
liquor, and line up at the casket as if it were the
countertop of a bar. The cigarette-smoking First
Friend of Brasky puts an ashtray on the casket. The
Second Friend of Brasky carries a bottle. The Third
Friend of Brasky wears a hat and also smokes a
cigarette. They speak loudly, slurring their words
drunkenly throughout:]
Third Friend of Brasky: I can't believe he's
gone!
First Friend of Brasky: Best damn salesman in
the office!
Second Friend of Brasky: Bill Brasky was a
son-of-a-bitch!
Third Friend of Brasky: I'm gonna miss
him!
Second Friend of Brasky: [proposing a toast] To
Bill Brasky!
All Three: [raising their glasses] Bill
Brasky!
Third Friend of Brasky: A ten foot monster who
slept with all of our wives!
Second Friend of Brasky: And he punched us all
in the face!
First Friend of Brasky: And we LOVED him for
it!
Third Friend of Brasky: He had a four day heart
attack!
First Friend of Brasky: Yeah, a day for every
chamber!
Second Friend of Brasky: When they did the
autopsy, they said his heart was like a basketball
filled with ricotta cheese!
Third Friend of Brasky: They found sixty
dollars in change in his stomach!
First Friend of Brasky: Best damn salesman in
the office!
Third Friend of Brasky: To Bill Brasky!
All Three: Bill Brasky!
Third Friend of Brasky: I remember one time
Brasky took his family to Sea World--
First Friend of Brasky: I'm wearing a
diaper!
Third Friend of Brasky: [after a slight pause]
Anyway, they were watching Shamu the whale when Brasky
got splashed!
Second Friend of Brasky: [speaks
incoherently]
Third Friend of Brasky: Right. So Brasky yells,
"I'm Bill Brasky and no one gets me wet!" So he climbs
into the tank, grabs Shamu and throws the whale into
the audience, splashes him and yells, "How do you like
it?!" And then damn if Brasky didn't step in there and
finish the show!
Second Friend of Brasky: That's just like
Brasky!
First Friend of Brasky: You know, he would
shoot whiskey into his neck with a syringe.
Third Friend of Brasky: He did all the make-up
on the Planet of the Apes movies.
Second Friend of Brasky: He taught - he taught
me how to love a woman - and how to scold a
child.
First Friend of Brasky: He had dandruff the
size of mice!
Second Friend of Brasky: To Bill
Brasky!
All Three: Bill Brasky!
Second Friend of Brasky: Did I ever tell you
about the time Brasky took me out to go get a drink
with him?
Third Friend of Brasky: I'm a convicted sex
offender!
Second Friend of Brasky: [after a pause]
Anyways, we go off lookin' for a bar and we can't find
one. Finally, Brasky takes me into a vacant lot and
says, "Here we are!" Well, we sat there for a year and
a half. Sure enough, someone constructed a bar around
us!
First Friend of Brasky: P. J.
McGinty's!
Second Friend of Brasky: That's right, that's
right! Well, the day they opened it, we ordered a
shot, drank it and then burnt the place to the ground.
Brasky yelled over the roar of the flames, "Always
leave things the way you found them!"
Third Friend of Brasky: He was a terrible
man!
First Friend of Brasky: He once punched a hole
in a cow just so he could see who was comin' up the
road.
Third Friend of Brasky: He had nine children,
all of 'em boys!
Second Friend of Brasky: Hell, he sired a
baseball team.
Third Friend of Brasky: An orchestra, if you
count the bastards!
Second Friend of Brasky: To Bill
Brasky!
All Three: Bill Brasky!
Woman: [joins the three at the casket,
whispering loudly] Excuse me, could you gentlemen
please keep it down? This is a funeral!
First Friend of Brasky: Oh! Sorry.
Third Friend of Brasky: Sorry, sorry. Hey, you
mind gettin' us some fresh ice there, girlie?
Woman: You are horrible men! [exits]
First Friend of Brasky: [continues without
missing a beat] Did I ever tell you about the time I
had breakfast with Brasky?
Second Friend of Brasky: My Uncle Hal molested
me!
First Friend of Brasky: [after a slight pause]
Anyways, Brasky drank a full glass of liquid LSD with
his eggs. Then he slept for eight months straight.
When he woke up, he rubbed his eyes and said, "All in
all, I prefer gin!"
Third Friend of Brasky: That's just like
Brasky!
Second Friend of Brasky: To Bill
Brasky!
All Three: Bill Brasky!
Second Friend of Brasky: They say Gene
Roddenberry got the idea for Star Trek from Brasky
talkin' in his sleep!
Third Friend of Brasky: He once breast-fed an
injured flamingo back to health.
First Friend of Brasky: He used to jog around
the block with a fridge on his back!
Second Friend of Brasky: His poop is considered
currency in Argentina!
First Friend of Brasky: He loved extension
cords!
Third Friend of Brasky: He hated Mexicans!
Second Friend of Brasky: And he was half
Mexican!
First Friend of Brasky: And he hated
irony!
Third Friend of Brasky: He grew a third arm and
kept it in a vault!
Second Friend of Brasky: He slept eight hours a
night! [the others give him a puzzled look] Well, he
was pretty normal when it came to that.
[A mourner, who has been sitting in the background
since the sketch began, now rises with a drink in his
hand and joins the three at the casket:]
Fourth Friend of Brasky: Excuse me! Are you
guys talkin' about Bill Brasky?
First and Second Friend of Brasky: We certainly
are!
Fourth Friend of Brasky: I know Bill
Brasky!
Second Friend of Brasky: I like you!
Third Friend of Brasky: To Bill Brasky!
All Four: Bill Brasky!
[Suddenly, a giant hand clutching a half full glass of
liquor smashes up through the top of the wooden
casket. The Brasky Bunch is momentarily
stunned.]
Booming Voice of Bill Brasky: I'm back! Now,
top me off, you bastards!
All Four: [thrilled] Bill Brasky!
[First and Second Friend pour liquor into Brasky's
glass.]
First Friend of Brasky: Here you go,
buddy!
[Dissolve to photo of Alec Baldwin and some blue
balloons. Fade.]
