Clint Eastwood Chrysler Ad

Clint Eastwood…..Bill Hader

[ open on footage from Clint Eastwood’s Chrysler ad that ran during the Super Bowl ]

Clint Eastwood V/O: During the Super Bowl, I said it was halftime for America. I said Motor City’s getting back on its feet. I tried to make an inspiring ad that would rally our country. But you dummies in the media thought it was about politics!

[ cut to Clint Eastwood ]

Clint Eastwood: Well, guess what?! Halftime’s over! We’re in the third quarter now, America, and we’re WAY behind! So I don’t care if Obama runs the ball, or Romney throws a touchdown, or Ron Paul kicks a field goal with his tiny little chicken legs! I’ll tell you right now, though — I ain’t putting Santorum in the game! He can stand on the sideline doing cheers in his little sweater vest! PUSSY!!

[ Eastwood glances off-camera ]

Clint Eastwood: What’s this commercial for, again? Alright. Chrysler! Get a Chrysler… and get off my damn lawn!

[ SUPER: “Chrysler. Imported From Detroit” ]

Little Girl…..Nasim Pedrad
Herman Cain…..Kenan Thompson
Guards…..Taran Killam, Jay Pharoah
Mitt Romney…..Jason Sudeikis

Announcer: [ over scroll ] The year 2014 is a time of turmoil for America. Comfortably serving his second term, President Barack Obama no longer hides his socialist agenda.

The unemployment rate skyrockets and foreign armies gather their forces for an attack.

Chaos reigns. But from the darkness, a visionary emerges and leads a group of pioneers to pursue a better future in space. He is…”

[ graphic flies forward ]

“Newt Gingrich: Moon President”.

[ dissolve to Moon Gingrich staring at the Earth from his space station on the moon ]

[ SUPER: “Moon 2014” ]

Newt Gingrich: Callista! Callista, come see how pretty the Earth looks.

Callista Gingrich: Oh, Newt… you need to forget about the Earth. You have the people of the Moon colony to lead now.

Newt Gingrich: Oh, you’re right… you’re right. Where’s my trusted robot advisor — the Reagatron 3000?

[ a robot designed in Ronald Reagan’s likeness enters ]

Reagatron 3000: Reagatron 3000, at your service.

Newt Gingrich: And what is on today’s Moon agenda?

Reagatron 3000: Well… the little girl who won the… Miss Moon Pageant is here for a photo.

Newt Gingrich: Oh! Wonderful! Send her in!

Little Girl: [ running in ] Hello, Moon President Newt Gingrich!

Newt Gingrich: And what do you do, little girl?

Little Girl: I go to school!

Newt Gingrich: And when you’re not at school?

Little Girl: I work as a janitor at the school — per your moon decree!

Newt Gingrich: You know, on Earth they thought the idea of student janitors was crazy. I guess that‘s why they didn’t want me to be their president.

Little Girl: The people of South Carolina wanted you to be president!

Newt Gingrich: Not all of America is as forward-thinking as South Carolina,

[ they lean closer and smile for a camera ]

Little Girl: A good Moon to you!

Newt Gingrich: And may divorce be with you.

[ the little girl rushes off, as Herman Cain saunters in ]

Herman Cain: Mr. Moon President?

Newt Gingrich: Vice-Admiral Herman Cain!

[ they share a secret handshake ]

Together: Blast-off!!

Herman Cain: Yeah, the latest shuttle of refugees from Earth arrived, and we found a stowaway!

Newt Gingrich: A stowaway?

Herman Cain: [ signals guards to bring the stowaway in ] Yeah. At first we thought it was a woman, but… [ he rips the stowaway’s wig off to reveal: ]

Newt Gingrich: Mitt Romney!

Mitt Romney: Yes! Yes, it’s me!

Newt Gingrich: Vice-Admiral Cain, leave me and Mr. Romney alone.

Herman Cain: Very well. I shall return to “inspecting craters”, if you know what I mean. [ he chuckles heartily ]

Newt Gingrich: Very well.

Herman Cain: Do you know what I mean?

Newt Gingrich: I do.

Herman Cain: I mean, not like moon crater craters…

Newt Gingrich: Vice-Admiral!!

Herman Cain: Alright!

[ Herman Cain rushes out ]

Newt Gingrich: It’s a surprise to see you here, Mitt. As I recall, you found the idea of a moon colony silly back in 2012.

Mitt Romney: Ohhhh, Newt, we were all wrong! Ever since you left Earth, it’s been a nightmare! Please forgive me, and let me work in your ad-moon-istration.

Newt Gingrich: I’m just supposed to believe that you’ve just completely changed your position?

Mitt Romney: Well, it wouldn’t be the first time!

[ they share the laugh ]

Reagatron 3000: [ edging in ] Are you my robot father?

Mitt Romney: Ah, don’t be silly! I’m not a robot, I’m a human man.

Reagatron 3000: Liar!

[ the Reagatron 3000 moves away, as Herman Cain rushes back in ]

Herman Cain: Sir! We received a communication from Earth that Iran and North Korea have launched nuclear weapons! And just as you so wisely predicted that they would! Also — when I said “craters” earlier, I meant “ladies butts”!

Mitt Romney: [ getting it ] Ohhhhh!

Callista Gingrich: [ pointing ] Oh, no! Look!

[ they all watch as the Earth suddenly explodes into two halves, the upper half still hanging in space as the lower half drops from the solar system ]

Mitt Romney: Now what?

Newt Gingrich: There’s no reason we can’t start a newer, better civilization here on the Moon!

Reagatron 3000: There is one problem, Mr. Moon President: Of the 13,000 colonists, only 200 are men.

Newt Gingrich: Curses! That ratio is no good!

Herman Cain: Yeah, ’cause, see, the most I can handle is about 5, maybe 6, at a time. Yeah… more than that, Herman gets in trouble!

Callista Gingrich: There is one solution?

Newt Gingrich: What is it, Callista?

Callista Gingrich: What if we stay married, but you had sex with other women?

Newt Gingrich: [ intrigued ] An open marriage? What man would ever ask for such a thing?

Callista Gingrich: Why not? [ close-up aside ] It’s a perfectly reasonable request for a man to ask of his wife!

Newt Gingrich: Thank you. And so it shall be! The Moon is our future, and it has EVERYTHING we need! Humanity is saved, and I shall lead them! [ close-up aside ] I’m Newt Gingrich, and I approved this crazy-ass fantasy! [ he winks ] And “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Niiiight!”

Big Ronnie…..Kenan Thompson
Denise…..Kristen Wiig
Bridget…..Vanessa Bayer
Husband…..Taran Killam
Lesley…..Fred Armisen
Doctor…..Andy Samberg

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen — Channing Tatum!

Channing Tatum: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! It is great to be here hosting “Saturday Night Live”! I still can’t believe that I am here. It is such an honor to be on this stage, especially considering my first job in show business was as a male stripper. [ the female audience members shriek ] That may sound like a joke, but… it’s true: I really was a stripper for a year before I became an actor.

So, real quick… the ground rules for tonight ARE:

1. No touching. I can touch you; you can’t touch me. [ the female audience members whoo ]

2. Tips are appreciated. The only reason I’m hosting this show is to put myself through nursing school.

3. For my safety, Big Ronnie here will be with me all night long.

[ Big Ronnie steps out and gives the stinkeye toward the audience ]

Big Ronnie: You okay, Channing?

Channing Tatum: I’m alright, Ronnie. Thank you very much.

Big Ronnie: Alright. [ pointing toward the audience ] I’m watching you! [ he steps away ]

Channing Tatum: But you know what? Look — I’m not ashamed of my past. I loved stripping. I loved my customers. [ women in the audience whoo some more, as he looks toward them ] Wait… in fact… Denise?! Is that you?!

[ cut to Denise, who frowns at the recognition ]

Denise: [ laughing ] Wha-a-a-at? No!

Channing Tatum: Denise, come on! It’s ME! Chan! I used to give you a lap dance, like, once a week.

Denise: [ chuckling embarrassedly ] No! I think you have me confused with someone else! I don’t go to strip clubs. I sit home and I pray.

Channing Tatum: Hmm… well, I guess I was wrong. Anyways… this has been such an exciting — [ he glances into the audience again ] Okay! Okay, now definitely — I know YOU! Bridget!

[ cut to an embarrassed Bridget sitting with her husband ]

Bridget: Uh… uh, no! No, you don’t! Uh — I mean, my name is Bridget, but I’m… I’m just a stranger, and I’m here with my husband! [ she signals Tatum to let it go, as her husband waves ]

Channing Tatum: Nope! It’s YOU! It’s definitely you. We used to call you “Filthy Bridget” because of all the filthy things you’d ask for…

Husband: [ irked ] Excuse me, sir! My wife is not filthy! [ proudly ] I’ll have you know we haven’t had sex in TEN years!

[ Bridget secretly winks at Tatum ]

Channing Tatum: My mistake. Uh… wait! Oh, my God… Is that Lesley? Lesley Burns?!

[ cut to Lesley, a man, wide-eyed and confused ]

Lesley: What’s that? I’m sorry?

Channing Tatum: Lesley! Thank you so much for coming, man! [ to the audience ] Guys! Guys! Lesley was my absolute BEST customer! I mean, he came in every night, and most days…

Lesley: [ shaking his head ] No. That’s not me.

Channing Tatum: Oh… come on. What, are you telling me you don’t remember this?

[ the band pulls out something nice and slow, as Tatum begins to do a slow grind on stage ]

Lesley: [ uncomfortable ] No, uh… no, it doesn’t ring a bell…

Channing Tatum: No? What about this?

[ Tatum turns to one side and lets his butt and abs shake in rhythm with each other ]

Lesley: [ wiping the sweat from his forehead and cheeks ] Not sure yet, but, uh… you should keep trying.

Channing Tatum: Oh, yeah? Well… what about this? [ he shimmies, then rips his shirt off ] What about NOW, Lesley?! What about now?

[ cut to Lesley passed out in his seat as a doctor examines him ]

Doctor: This man is dead! He died happy.

Channing Tatum: Dr. Matthews?

Doctor: Uhhhhh… no! [ he makes a gagging sound and pulls himself away by his own collar ]

Channing Tatum: We have a great show for you tonight! Bon Iver is here! So stick around, we’ll be right back!

[ CAMPAIGN GRAPHIC – ROMNEY: BELIEVE IN AMERICA ]

Mitt Romney (V/O): I’m Mitt Romney and I approved this message

INT. JIM BOB’S DINER – DAY

[ Former Massachusetts Governor MITT ROMNEY, in a Carhart jacket and unbuttoned shirt, is seated at a table. ]

Mitt Romney: Hello… hello, I’m Mitt Romney and I’m speaking to you today from Jim Bob’s Diner; a really fantastic diner outside Aiken, South Carolina. As I’ve said, it’s a really fantastic place. It really is. I enjoy it very much. It’s super.

I’m down here to bring my Presidential campaign down to the people here of this great state. They definitely connect with me on a human level and don’t find me weird at all. Say, did everyone see that Broncos-Steelers game last Sunday? Wasn’t that something?

And how about that Tim Tebow? He was slinging the pigskin down the field. You know, I’ll bet you dollars to donuts the Broncos give my beloved Patriots a run for their money on the gridiron tomorrow. I’ll be watching that game along with my five human sons and my expectation is that I will enjoy it very, very much!

[ Governor Romney glances off-camera. ]

What’s that?

[ A beat ]

It’s being played tonight?

[ A beat ]

That’s wonderful news! The fact is our whole family loves to watch sporting events on the television on the weekend. So normal are we! It sure beats doing chores at home. That’s for sure! Of course, I’m kidding… we got people for that.

A few days ago, we had another great result in New Hampshire. Of course, we enjoyed that very much as well. Unfortunately, that victory was clouded by a bit of a kerfuffle of a remark I made the day before. I was speaking to a crowd about the importance of being able to choose YOUR own insurance company and simply put, when the service provider isn’t doing the job, you have to make a change — adding, you ought to fire people.

I think the audience understood what I was saying. It’s like when you’re raking leaves out in the yard and your t-shirt is a little clammy. You go inside and FIRE IT. Replacing with a dry t-shirt or no t-shirt at all. It’s like that…

Of course, my opponents immediately pounced on that remark and tried to relate it to my work at Bain Capital. At Bain, we specialized in acquiring failing companies. Sometimes, this did involve individuals being “fired”. That is, in the sense, losing their jobs. That is the exception, not the rule.

[ A young, teenage waitress, BECKY, enters. ]

Becky: Hi!

Mitt Romney: Oh, hello there! I’m Mitt Romney!

Becky: I’m Becky.

Mitt Romney: Becky — I’m really enjoying MEETING YOU! How old are you? No, wait! Let me guess… 31.

Becky: I’m 19.

Mitt Romney: Close enough!

Becky: What can I get you?

Mitt Romney: I’d like two eggs!

Becky: How do you want them?

Mitt Romney: Laid off!

Becky: Laid off?

Mitt Romney: Yeah, you know, laid off.

Becky: You mean, over easy?

Mitt Romney: Bingo! Say, what does that come with?

Becky: Bacon.

Mitt Romney: No, bacon. Let’s throw the bacon “out-of-work.” Can I replace it with sausage?

Becky: Sure.

Mitt Romney: Okay. Can I replace the bacon with sausage but pay half the price for the sausage I would’ve paid for the bacon?

Becky: It’s the same amount.

Mitt Romney: Thought I’d ask…

Becky: It also comes with toast.

Mitt Romney: I don’t care for toast. I’d like to see the toast lose its job — without notice, if possible. Can I have an English muffin instead?

Becky: Okay.

Mitt Romney: Good. Can the English muffin be hired on a temporary basis? Meaning that if I’m not hungry enough to eat it, I don’t have to pay.

Becky: Sure. Coffee?

Mitt Romney: No. No, coffee. I’d like orange juice. Is it freshly strangled?

Becky: You mean, fresh squeezed?

Mitt Romney: Yes, fresh squeezed… as you call it…

Becky: Anything else?

Mitt Romney: I’M. FINE. BECKY.

[ Becky departs. ]

Mitt Romney: She’s a nice girl. I’d like to be able to fire her. Well, I think you’ve enjoyed this time we’ve spent together and I think you’ll agree that I’ve come across as genuine and warm.

Thank you, and “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

[ dissolve to cast interior, as Minerva leads a group of students in ]

Minerva: Okay, girls, gather round. This is Gryffindor House, where you shall study, socialize, and sign up for extracurriculars.

Student: Wow! It’s beautiful!

Minerva: Many of Hogwart’s greatest alums have graced these halls — some of them have become legends.

[ Harry Potter peeks in from a back hall ]

Harry Potter: Hello! did somebody say “legend”?

Student: Harry Potter!

Harry Potter: That’s right! The boy who lived! In the flesh! Uh — congratulations to all of you for being accepted to Hogwart’s. These are going to be the BEST days of your lives. [ sadly ] Honestly. The best. It does not get better.

Student: But what are you doing here?

Harry Potter: Oh, I thought I’d apperate in for the weekend, welcome the newbies. It feels like just yesterday I was here!

Minerva: You WERE here yesterday! And the day before! Which is odd, considering you graduated ten years ago!

Harry Potter: [ laughing ] Ha! Yes! So… is He Who Must Not Be Named giving you any trouble?

Student: Voldemort? No, he’s dead.

Harry Potter: [ ecstatic ] Oh! That’s right! I killed him! Remember that! Yeah! That was great! [ ge high-fives the students ] Let’s all celebrate! Yuo love it, kids! Yeah! Just eliminated all evil all over the world. You’re welcome. I did that when I was 18. And just yesterday — this is equally as exciting — I bought a Volvo. Let’s celebrate! Who’s thirsty? [ he pulls out a can of beer from his jacket ]

Minerva: Mr. Potter, you know very well we do not allow alcohol on these premises!

Harry Potter: Don’t worry… it’s just butter beer. [ he leans closer to the student ] Is it? [ he smiles ]

[ Ron and Hermione enter ]

Ron Weasley: Harry?

Hermione Granger: Harry James Potter! You’re back — again.

Harry Potter: Ron! Hermoine! how are you!

Hermione Granger: Well, we’re teachers now, remember?

Ron Weasley: Yeah, we work here… so it’s not weird.

Harry Potter: Oh! The gang’s all back together! [ he hugs them ]

Ron Weasley: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… Harry, I thought you were out of town, mate.

Harry Potter: Well, yeah, I’ll be out. I’ll be touring, I’ll do shows, I’ll do magic, making things disappear. You know, one thing I can’t make disappear — my MORTGAGE! [ he laughs uproariously, then leans closer to the student ] You know what I’m talking about!

Student: I don’t!

[ Malfoy enters ]

Draco Malfoy: Well, well, well! Harry Potter!

Harry Potter: Malfoy. Still hanging around, lurking. You can’t keep living in the past, mate. [ to the student ] I was a varsity seeker first year. Doesn’t happen often. [ he turns back to Malfoy ] So, uh — what do you want, Malfoy?

Draco Malfoy: Oh, uh… just wanted to say Hello. My wife and I are dropping off our daughter for orientation. Amd she said she saw you outside playing Quiddich — alone. And making cheering noises. Was that you?

Harry Potter: [ laughing nervously ] No. Yes. But, you know… I’m still having fun, though. Not boring and married, like you!

[ Hagrid stumbles in ]

Hagrid: He’s not the only one, Harry, my boy.

Harry Potter: [ alarmed ] Hagrid?! You, too?!

Hagrid: Yep. Tied the knot! I married Luna Lovegood here.

Luna Lovegood: He’s huuuge!

Hagrid: Yep! Yep! The lonely janitor in the trenchcoat who lives just off campus, found love with a student. Who would have guessed?

Harry Potter: Well, uh, that’s brilliant! I’m so glad to hear we’re all doing great!

Professor Snape: Not everyone!

[ reveal Professor Snape in his portrait ]

Harry Potter: Professor Snape. Still watching me from the beyond.

Professor Snape: [ sternly ] Hello, Potter!

Harry Potter: I used to think this bloke was a dark lord. It turns out he was looking after me the whole time! Oops!

Professor Snape: “Oops”? Really? Harry, you turned out magnificently. Definitely worth sacrificing my life!

Harry Potter: [ to Hagrid ] Is he being sarcastic, or not? [ Hagrid shrugs ]

Ron Weasley: Alright, Harry… we’ve gotta get back to work, mate.

Hermione Granger: Good to see you, Harry.

[ everyone starts to walk away ]

Harry Potter: Well, hold on! Who wants to re-enact the fight I had with Voldemort on the bridge? [ to the student ] Spoiler alert: I win!

Student: Yay!

[ the new students run into the hall ]

Harry Potter: Yeah! Go on, you kids! Yes! Off you go! I’ll be right behind you! [ he sighs ] I’ve still got it.

[ fade ]
