Tales of Ribaldry

Evelyn Quince…..Jon Lovitz
Woodsman…..Mel Gibson
Lady Cicily…..Nora Dunn

[ open on Evelyn Quince, dressed rather foppish and acting as excited as a small child ]

Evelyn Quince: Hellio.. and welcome to “Tales of Rrrribaldry”! I’m your host, Evelyn Quince. Tonight, I would like to share with you a naughty tale of a lusty woodsman and a wanton lady, and possibly a cuckolded husband! Oh, it’s high rrrribaldry at its best! And it’s about to start – let’s watch!

[ cut to the scene with Lady Cicily sitting in her room ]

Woodsman: [ enters ] Excuse me, Lady Cicily. I’ve finished chopping the wood, and if there won’t be anything else, I’d like to go back to my cabin and take a cold bath. You see, a vigorous wood chopping always makles me feel hot and sweaty and bit.. randy.

Lady Cicily: Please, Woodsman, come in. You see, my husband is in town and will be gone for several hours. I’m quite alone. There’s a few things you could.. do.. for me.

[ cut quickly to Evelyn Quince enjoying the scene ]

Evelyn Quince: Oh, my! Our little story is unfolding quite nicely! A handsome woodsman and a beautiful lady, with the husband conveniently in town. Perhaps at the haberdashery, being fitted for cuckold horns? [ make horns around his head ] Yes!

[ cut back to the scene with Lady Cicily and the Woodsman ]

Lady Cicily: Woodsman, could you open the window? It’s suddenly very hot in here, and I need a breeze.

Woodsman: Certainly, my lady. [ opens window, breeze tears his shirt open ] There you are, my lady.

Lady Cicily: Woodsman, you’ve ripped your shirt!

[ cut quickly to Evelyn Quince enjoying the scene ]

Evelyn Quince: Ohhh! My face is crimson! [ giggles ] It appears we are having a baudy fest tonight!

[ cut back to the scene with Lady Cicily and the Woodsman ]

Lady Cicily: Hmm.. narrow in the waist, broad in the shoulder.. much larger than my husband’s, you’ll never fit in any of his shirts.

Woodsman: Not to worry, my lady. I’ll just put on my coat. [ wraps it around him ]

Lady Cicily: Oh, Woodsman, would you mind helping me move that chest over there.

Woodsman: Certainly not, my lady.

Lady Cicily: It’s very heavy. I’ll help you out, but first I’ll change into something more.. appropriate.

[ Woodsman glances at the camera with a smirk on his face ]

[ cut quickly to Evelyn Quince enjoying the scene ]

Evelyn Quince: Ooooohhhh..! Is he thinking what I’m thinking! Well, it might be naughty! Let’s find out!

[ cut back to the scene with Lady Cicily and the Woodsman ]

Lady Cicily: Woodsman, you can push the chest, and I’ll pull. [ as she pulls, her dress gets caught on the chest and is ripped off ]

[ cut quickly to Evelyn Quince enjoying the scene ]

Evelyn Quince: Ooohh..! Oh, tonight’s tale is particularly naughty! Lusty, baudy, deliciously risque! I am ravished to say, bordering on an indecent, saucy, randy, suggestively off-color tale of rrrrribaldry! Isn’t it?

[ cut back to Woodsman covering Lady Cicily’s chest with a fur ]

Woodsman: I didn’t see a thing, my lady.

Lady Cicily: Thank you, Woodsman. Now, would you help me.. light the chandelier?

Woodsman: My lady, may I be so bold as to speak freely?

Lady Cicily: Why, yes.

Woodsman: I mean, I could help you fix things here all night. And, maybe, during the course of the evening, my pants might fall down. Or a mysterious draft might come through that window and blow your skirt up over your head, giving us brief, but titilating glimpses of one another. But what are we waiting for, eh? I’m a lusty woodsman, and you’re a wanton lady. Hey, let’s just do it, eh? Let’s just have hot, passionate sex.

Lady Cicily: Oh, I’d like nothing more!

[ they start to make out with one another ]

[ cut quickly to Evelyn Quince no longer enjoying the scene ]

Evelyn Quince: Oh, I don’t like this! This is becoming less randy and more sexually explicit at every moment! Our once baudy tale is turning into a tawdry tale of pornography! I don’t like it!

[ cut to Woodsman and Lady Cicily still removing all their clothes ]

[ cut back to Evelyn Quince annoyed at the scene ]

Evelyn Quince: No, no, no, no, we’ll have none of this! Yuo’ve gone too far! You’ve ruined it for me! [ faux cries ] Well, this tale is over, but you must admit it was a ribald tale, wasn’t it? Join me next week when a rakish yachtsman meets a lacivious lady, whose husband is conveniently plummenting in erotic Istanbul. I trust they’ll behave themselves. Until then, I’m Evelyn Quince. Goodbye everybody, goodbye!

Mel Gibson’s Monologue

…..Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson: Thank you very much for that! It’s great to be here. Actually, it’s kind of weird to be here, I’m not really accustomed to doing TV. Uh, see, basically I’m a movie star. But that’s a great job, though – you travel around the world, you work with beautiful women, you drive fast cars, and they pay you ridiculous amounts of money.

And this is the good bit – this part will really kill you – I don’t have to work very hard. And it’s fun. I do my own stunts. If you see my character jump from a building, hey that’s me; and when you see me land, that’s the stunt man.

Now, before I was a movie star, I had other jobs, you know, low-paying, menial jobs. And I can tell you the best job I ever had was being a professional movie star. Because, as a movie star, I get paid a ridiculous amount of money and I don’t have to work that hard. So, to sum it all up, being a movie star – high reward, low effort. Now, for this show, I’m getting paid next to nothing, and it’s been a tremendous amount of hard work, so right away I know I don’t like television. And, as I stand here, I realize that, in a live broadcast like this, something could go terribly wrong, and I could end up alienating millions of movie-going patrons.

Basically, hosting “Saturday Night Live” is, for me – high risk, low reward. As opposed to movies, which is, once again – high reward, low effort. And you may be wondering why I would jeopardize all that I have worked for.. [ laughs ] ..well, actually, it’s just fallen into my lap.

Is it because I want to stretch as an actor? No, no, that would be work. Is it because I really love comedy? Well, no, no, not particularly. So why did I agree to host this show? Because sometimes I just don’t think things through. I mean, if someone calls and says, “Hey, you wanna host ‘Saturday Night Live’?”, I say, “Sure!” without even considering the potentially disastrous effect on my real job – a movie star.

So, if tonight I should appear inadequate, ordinary, not larger-than-life, or, at worst, un-movie star-like, just say to yourslef, “Hey, he might not be a great TV star, but I just can’t wait to see him in “Lethal Weapon 6”.

Well, we’ve got a great show tonight, and Danny Glover is here – he is. And I can tell you, because I talked to him, that he feels pretty much the way that I do about all this. Living Colour is here, so stick around, we’ll be right back.

Cooking with The Anal Retentive Chef

Gene…..Phil Hartman

[ open on the Anal Retentive Chef’s tidy kitchen ]

Gene: Hello! And welcome to “The Anal Retentive Chef”! I’m Gene. Today, we’re going to be making Pepper Steak. Now, you’re going to need: one large bell pepper, three onions, exactly two inches in diameter, and 17 1/3 ounces of lean beef cut into 43 pieces. Okay, let’s get started. Now, I’ve already cut up my bell pepper. Look at this. [ holds up bowl ] Isn’t this nice? See how all the pieces are the same size? People try to tell you that the secret to Pepper Steak is the seasoning – but we know differently, don’t we? Uh-huh. It’s getting all the pieces the same size. And that’s what I’ve done here. Beauti.. uh-oh! [ pulls out piece of pepper ] This one’s a little bigger than the rest, so we’ll just discard that one.. [ pulls out another piece ] And I don’t think this little wrinkly one belongs in here.. [ pulls out another ] And this.. well, I just don’t like the look of that one at all. Alright.. as a matter of fact, why don’t we just start over and throw this out? [ places bowl on counter ]

And how do we throw things out? Okay. We take our paper towel, two pieces, unbroken, lat it out neatly, dump the refuse inside, arranged neatly.. [ assembles the garbage ] ..let’s take these little nasties we separated earlier, put that back.. fold over carefully, making sure the corners are square.. and.. we take a piece of aluminum foil, and we place our refuse onto the foil, and fold over very carefully – this way, it won’t leak onto the other garbage. Aluminum foil is such a miracle product! It’s really an extraordinary product. Alright, and then we take a brown, paper sandwich bag.. [ opens bag ] ..place the refuse inside.. [ drops it in ] ..and.. oh no, this bag is torn.. [ looks around ] Well.. no, that’s alright. We’ll just fold over, and no will see. We’ll fold it over twice to be careful.. then we get our tape. [ grabs tape, which is naturally covered in a cozy ] And, we tape it shut – be very careful to center the tape on the bag. I like to keep my tape dispenser right here on the counter. There we go! [ holds up bag ] All ready for the trash. Now that’s some garbage you can live with! [ laughs ] Alright, I noticed some of you were admiring my tape dispenser cozy. Isn’t that pretty? I made it myself, out of toothpicks, felt, plain old buckroom, a couple of pearl buttons sand some eyelets. Now, isn’t that better than looking at an old tape dispenser? I think so! Alright. Let’s set this over here. [ places tape dispenser onto the counter next to the sink, behind him ]

Okay, where were we? We were going to dice the bell pepper. But.. oh.. [ thinking ] ..so, we’re going to need our chopping block.. [ pulls it out ] But we can’t put that down, because there’s some water there from the bell pepper, so let’s clean that up. As a matter of fact, this stovetop could use a lick and a promise while we’re at it! So, how do we clean? We take our bucket.. but, first, let’s remove the food products, because we don’t want to get any caustic substances onthe food, of course. [ places food products on the counter next to the sink, behind him ] Place these neatly in the background – this floor will be cleaned later. Okay, so we’re ready to clean. [ pulls up mop bucket ] We’ve got our glove, to protect us – we don’t want to ruin our manicure. And we’ve got a clean white cloth, and abrasive cleanser – none of that non-abrasive cleanser for us, it’s good old-fashioned cleanser. That’ll get us started, I think I’ll clean these cabinets while I’m at it. And, oh! Look at this. [ points to the stove ] Aluminum foil is filthy! I’m going to have to replace that. So, we might as well pull that up right now. [ closing music pots up ] I don’t when I cleaned that up last, I’d hate to think.. And, God knows what those mopboards look like. But! We start at the top, and clean down, so as not to drip..

[ they all laugh as they sit down ]

Audrey Sweeney: Candy, you are still a laugh riot! [ laughs ]

Candy Sweeney: Guilty!

Audrey Sweeney: Frank and I never laugh anymore. He lost another job, fooling around.. I’ve left him for good this time.

Liz Sweeney: That’s why I married my music.

Candy Sweeney: I’m with Liz. When I feel those lights on my face and that mike in my hands, and the waves of love rolling in from the audience, and then that splitter-splutter of applause when it’s over. Now, that – that is a relationship.

Liz Sweeney: Why don’t you sing with us tonight?

Audrey Sweeney: Oh, no!

Candy Sweeney: Yeah, yeah! Come on!

Audrey Sweeney: I’m not a singer anymore – you are! You stuck with it, and.. boy, look where you are now.. Besides, my pipes are pretty rusty. [ demonstrates a half-decent singing voice ] No, no.. you go ahead!

[ Liz and Candy grab their microphones and step onto the stage in the middle Candy Sweeney: Hi, everybody, welcome to the Holiday Inn. We’re so happy to see you. I’m Candy Sweeney.

Candy Sweeney: “At first, I was afraid

And I grew strong!”

Liz & Candy: “And you learned how to get alongggggg..”

Fish gotta swim
Birds gotta fly.
I gotta love one man ’til I die
Can’t stop loving that man.. of mine!”

“Let it please be him
Oh, dear God, it must be him
It must be him, or I will die..”

Liz & Candy: “No, you won’t die-ie-ie-ie!”

Candy Sweeney: Skip! [ the music stops ] I’m gonna bring the room down for a minute..

Don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more!
Hit the road, Jack”
