Jingle: “Wow! You’re on Hidden Photo”!

Announcer: And now, Mr. Hidden Photo himself!

[ dissolve to close-up of TV screen with title screen, pull back to reveal Allen Funt in his studio ]

Allen Funt: We believe that there is NOTHING more hilarious… than people caught in the act of being themselves! You know, one of the BEST-LOVED gags of all time is the old Hot Foot! Remember that? Right? Well, we went to the Teaneck Diner in New Jersey to try a variation on the old Hot Foot! We call it the Hot Fork!

[ he turns to face the monitor, as the footage appears ]

[ dissolve to full-screen footage ]

Allen Funt V/O: Now, the speciality of the house is the Cheesecake.

Diner: [ to Waitress ] Cheesecake.

Waitress: Cheesecake. [ she exits to the kitchen ]

[ cut to a fork being heated over an open grill ]

Allen Funt V/O: The kitchen has been heating the fork ’til it glows red hot! Watch.

[ the heated fork is pressed down on a steak, which sizzles immediately ]

Allen Funt V/O: Now, that’s HOT! But, just to make sure…

[ the fork is held back over the open grill ]

[ cut to Funt in the kitchen placing the cheesecake on the counter and ringing the bell ]

[ the Waitress brings the cheesecake and the hot fork to the diner ]

Allen Funt V/O: She’s expecting a bite of cool, creamy cheesecake! What she’s gonna get… is a mouthful of seared flesh!

[ the diner cuts a piece of cheesecake with her fork and brings it into her mouth. She screams and hops out of her seat as the Waitress alughs hysterically. ]

Waitress: This is called Cheese…cake! It’s an American dessert. You like to try?

[ the Japanese businessmen laugh, then politely unfold their napkins in preparation to eat the cheesecake ]

Allen Funt V/O: Now, these fellas probably can’t speak a word of English! But, as you all know, pain is an international language!

[ the Japanese businessmen put the cheesecake in their mouthes, then jump up and start screaming into their napkins ]

[ suddenly, Funt emerges from the kitchen, laughing, and raps his arm around the two businessmen as the Waitress returns, also laughing ]

Allen Funt: Guys… [ he points ] Look in that camera right there! Look at that camera! Huh? You recognize me, right?

[ the scene freezes, then dissolves back to Funt in his studio ]

[ dissolve to footage of a blind man standing on a street corner with his seeing-eye dog ]

Allen Funt V/O: Anybody who hangs around the corner of 6th Avenue and Vinetta is BOUND to see him. His name is Willie. Willie, of course, is blind… but that doesn’t stop him from selling pencils. We’re gonna have some fun with Willie. Watch!

[ crew member places a “Vicious Dog, Stay Away!!!” sign over Willie’s “Help Me, I’m Blind” sign ]

[ reveal camera crew in plain sight, snickering ]

Allen Funt V/O: Now, this is one time we didn’t even have to conceal the camera!

Allen Funt V/O: Now, watch — watch! She’s gonna distract him…

[ the woman bumps into Willie ]

Woman: I’m sorry, excuse me. But these are very lovely pencils, can I have one? May I have a red one, please?

[ a crew member enters the scene and removes Willie’s dog, as Willie hands the woman a pencil ]

Woman: No, no… that’s not red! That’s purple!

[ the crew member ties a pig to Willie’s leash, then prompts the pig to run down the street, pulling a hapless Willie with him ]

[ the scene freezes, then dissolves back to Funt in his studio ]

Allen Funt: [ laughing ] Just beautiful! You know, our show has been around for TWENTY YEARS! And the piece of film we’re about to show you TILL makes us laugh! We went to the Salisbury Elementary School in Westbury, New York to see what would happen if we told a group of third-graders that their parents were putting them up for adoption! Watch!

[ dissolve to black-and-footage of a little girl ]

Allen Funt V/O: Meliisa, I called you out of class to tell you your Mommy and Daddy are putting you up for adoption. [ the girl is stunned ] That’s right — they don’t love you any more, and they’re giving you away!

[ she lowers her head, her eyes droop, and she begins to weep pitifully ]

Allen Funt V/O: We told the same thing to every kid in the class, and every one of them reacted the same!

[ cut to a boy scout crying and lowering his head onto the desk ]

[ cut to another boy running across the room, screaming, as he knocks a chair to the floor and throws himself against the wall ]

[ the scene freezes, then dissolves back to Funt in his studio ]

Allen Funt: [ choking with laughter ] It’s SO easy to fool kids, isn’t it! Debbie learned the HARD way that… sometime, somewhere, someplace when you LEAST expect it, someone might come up to you and say…

[ cut to the audience ]

The Audience: “Smile! You’re on “Hidden Photo”!”

Allen Funt: Goodnight, everybody!

A Message To Young White Viewers

…..Eddie Murphy
Sammy…..Eliot Wald

Announcer: A message to all our young white viewers.

Eddie Murphy: Hello, I’m Eddie Murphy and I’m here to tell you the importance of a good education. I’m 20 years old and a high school graduate. I studied at Nassau community college for about two weeks. I have no formal theatricaltraining what so ever yet I’m one of the stars of the new Saturday Night Live. I also make more in a week than mostwhite people make in a year. Which leaves me to the conclusion that in 1981 a good education is just as imporant asa warm bucket of hamster vomit. That’s right, all you white kids in school are wasting your sweet precious time because life is luck. You’re either lucky or you’re a bum from the beginning. So stop kidding yourself, drop out. Go have some fun, drink some beer. Get each other pregnant and play Space Invaders. You know, you white kids take life so seriously. Quit school and be successful like me.

(Sammy the limo driver appears)

Sammy: Excuse me Mr. Murphy, you’re limosuine’s waiting.

Eddie Murphy: Thanks Sammy. Sammy went to Harvard.

I want to be loved by you

Making Love Alone

written by: Cheryl Hardwick and Marilyn Suzanne Miller

…..Bernadette Peters

[ open on Bernadette Peters standing before piano ]

Bernadette Peters: [ singing ]
“A log thrown on a fire… two profiles met as one
The igniting of desire in the air.
But when there’s just one profile, and yet desire grows
Despite the fact there’s no one else to care.

Must romance be abandoned as it’s fanning its own flame?
Waiting to burst full-blown?
There’s a special kind of bliss, not engendered by a kiss.
Surreptitiously indulged in less well known.
For when one cannot make love with another…
One can still make love alone.

There’s a certain special magic, to the touch of your own hand.
And a special thrill of knowing that you will for sure be feeling grand.
And that tender smell of rapture, you don’t have to try to postpone
that’s what it’s like when you’re making love alone.

Oh, the sweet, sweet sound of your own breathing, as the sky turns pale pink to hot
and the special thrill of knowing that you will not catch God-only-knows what. It’s the kind of love that fits hand in glove, and bursts like a bud full-blown.
That’s what it’s like when you’re making love alone.

Who can describe the special sweetness of knowing the speed that you’re going is right?
And is there anything as thrilling as trying to keep the book open, to page 24 all night?

And, oh
The calm and tender door you have taken, so lovely, an object of love addiction
It’s trite, but there’s nothing quite so sweet, as sweet nothings you say to yourself.
?????, you may outgrow your own.
That’s what it’s like when you’re making love alone.

The wondrous hue of aberration, as you listen to your own sighs
And the pools of perfect adoration, as you see you in your eyes.
It’s the kind of love that fits hand in glove
When the lips that meet are your own.

‘Cause the date you can’t see their faces
The one who knows all the best places
Who’ll never ask your sign on the phone
Due to the simple magic of making love
Not taking, faking, or mistaking love
But The simple magic of making love alone
Save on cologne!

That’s what it’s like when you’re making love alone!”

Its powerful emulsifying agents cut through grease to get my dishes SPARKING clean! [ she lifts up a china dish ] You know how tough those tuna casseroles can get. [ she lifts up a casserole dish ] With Whisper, baked-on food just WIPES away! [ she sponges the casserole residue off of the dish ] Whether it’s this morning’s sausage and eggs — [ she lifts a frying pan ] or the burnt remains of last night’s pot roast — [ she lifts a pot ] or, even… [ she struggles to lift an item ] even Sparky’s bowl!
