Calvin: Agh! That was the most stressful day of my life, man!

Tristan: Yeah. It sounds like it. Well, uh, the first one’s on me, alright?

Calvin: Alright. [ to the bartender ] Excuse me? Bartender?

[ the Bartender extends a passing glance, then completely rebuffs him ]

Tristan: Oh! The bartenders here are the WORST.

Calvin: Yeah. This always happens, you know? Like, who do I have to screw to get a drink around here?

[ Drifter #1 ambles forward ]

Drifter #1: Me.

Calvin: I’m sorry… what?

Drifter #1: You asked: “Who do I have to screw to get a drink?” The answer is ME!

Tristan: Yeah, but — [ he laughs ] That’s just a figure of speech! Right?

Drifter #1: No! It’s not.

Calvin: [ he shrugs ] Man… this is gonna SUCK!

Tristan: Wait — no! Calvin! You’re not actually considering doing this?

Calvin: I really want a drink, man!

Tristan: WHAT?! Will you LOOK at him?!

Calvin: What? He’s not all that bad. I mean… he kind of looks like Gandolf.

Tristan: Yeah — no! I-I-I can SEE that, but you can NOT do this!

Calvin: Hey, Tristan? You’re acting like a real SQUARE! Now, SAVE my spot, ’cause I’m about to go score a drink!

[ Calvin takes the Drifter’s hand and follows him into a broom closet, giving a final thumbs-up before he disappears ]

[ SUPER: “7 HOURS LATER” ]

[ Calvin emerges weak-kneed from the broom closet, as the Bartender hands over a beer ]

Tristan: Well?

Calvin: NOT worth it!

Tristan: Yeah. Alright.

[ the Drifter ambles forward ]

Drifter #1: Hey, sport, look — sorry it took so long in there.

Calvin: Yeah…

Drifter #1: It’s just, uh, that I find you SO unattractive. It took me while to, you know, “get” there. But, you gotta admit, when I got there… I really GOT there!

Calvin: Yeah. Thank you.

Drifter #1: [ he looks at Tristan ] Hey, there. Sport! You thirsty?

Tristan: No. I’m good. Thank you, though.

Drifter #1: You sure? How about just a shot of something?

Tristan: [ trying to resist ] Aw, dammit! …DAMMIT! It HAS been a stressful day. Just a shot?

Drifter #1: Just a shot.

Tristan: Alright, let’s go.

[ the Drifter offers his hand ]

Tristan: Aw, that’s nice!

[ Tristan takes the Drifter’s hand and follows him into a broom closet, giving a final thumbs-up before he disappears ]

[ SUPER: “6 1/2 HOURS LATER” ]

[ Tristan emerges dazed from the broom closet, as the Bartender hands over a shot ]

Calvin: So?

Tristan: [ chugs his shot ] It was BAD! Not a fun time. No, it was HORRIBLE!

[ the Drifter ambles forward ]

Drifter #1: Hey, Sport.

Tristan: Ah, hey.

Drifter #1: I — I-I — I gotta apologize. I took forever in there. Both of you guys are just CRAP ugly!

Tristan: Okay, yeah! I’d rather not talk about it.

Drifter #1: Hey, what’s with the attitude? I’m just doing my thing.

Calvin: No, buddy, it’s not even really you.

Tristan: Yeah. No, the real problem is your friend back there.

[ a second drifter emerges from the broom closet ]

Drifter #2: Hey, guys. Ready for Round Two?

Calvin: The guy’s INSATIABLE!

Drifter #2: That was a nice little rehearsal, but I think we need to bump it UP a notch. [ he rubs his goatee ] I’m gonna need WAY more eye contact!

[ Calvin and Tristan think it over ]

Calvin: Well… he does have really nice eyes.

Tristan: He has GORGEOUS eyes!

Calvin: Yeah.

Drifter #1: One more round?

Calvin: Was there ever a doubt?

[ the Drifter extends his hand ]

Drifter #1: This one’s on me!

[ Drifter #2 extends both of his hands and flexes his fingers ]

Calvin: Eeeuuggh!! What are you doing!

Studio Engineer…..Kenan Thompson
Blizzard Man…..Andy Samberg
Mrs. Blizzard…..Robert DeNiro

[FADE IN on the exterior of Superhits Studios. FADE inside to the recording studio, where Sean “Diddy” Combs stands behind the engineer and two execs stand across the room.]

Female Studio Exec: Alright Diddy, you’re a week past deadline on this album. I hope you have some good stuff to show us.

Diddy: Don’t worry about it. I got this guy that’s comin’ in that’s crazy; he’s the hottest hook guy in the business.

Male Studio Exec: Oh yeah? Who’s that, Trey Songz?

Diddy: Better.

Female Studio Exec: Bruno Mars?

Diddy: No. Blizzard Man.

Studio Engineer: Oh, the Blizzard Man. Yeah, I’ve heard of him; legend has it he’s a hip hop hermit.

[The door buzzer goes off]

Diddy: That must be him right there.

[He walks to the door as it opens up. Enter Blizzard Man, a white guy with blow-dry hair in a multicolored jacket. They exchange a hip-hop handshake and hug.]

Blizzard Man: Yo.

Diddy: Blizzy Blaze, my man!

Blizzard Man: What it do?

Diddy: You ready to do this?

Blizzard Man: Wiggity word!

[Blizzard Man removes his jacket, drops it on the floor, and enters the recording booth.]

Diddy: Okay, let’s go

Studio Engineer: [looking a bit confused] So, uh, that’s the Blizzard Man?

Diddy: Yeah, it’s the Blizzard Man. Check this, man; don’t judge a book by its cover. My man is like R. Kelly, Erykah Badu, Kate Hudson all rolled into one.

[Both studio execs nod their heads.]

Male Studio Exec: Mmm-hmm. [smiling] Now you’re speakin my language, Diddy.

Diddy: [bends over toward the microphone] Aight, Blizz; I’m gonna let the beat rock, and you just do your thing baby. Let’s go!

Blizzard Man: Holla back.

[A hip-hop track starts playing as Blizzard Man starts rocking to the beat.]

Blizzard Man: Yo, I’m ‘bout to set it! It’s your boy Young Blizz! I’m a just do me! Check my style out!

[As the beat keeps going, Blizzard Man launches full-tilt into his rap, off-key and out of sync.]

Blizzard Man: Rap song, rap song, rap is the fad that the kids all dig! Fancy duds are what we sport, and when the ladies shake the leg we peek at their buns! Yo, where Brooklyn at? [crosses his arms with a smug look on his face]

Diddy: Woooo! [pumps his fist in the air.] Black class, black fire! Brooklyn’s in the house! I told y’all, that’s my man! He’s crazy!

Studio Engineer: [confused, disgusted look on his face] What? That was awful!

Male Studio Exec: Yeah, yeah.

Female Studio Exec: Yeah that was…that sucked.

Male Studio Exec: It was bad. It sucked bad.

Diddy: Y’all just hatin’. That kid in there, he’s the truth.

[The door buzzer goes off again]

Studio Engineer: Well, who is that?

Blizzard Man: Yo, that’s my Momz.

[The door opens. Enter Mrs. Blizzard – an older woman with a horrendous multicolored shirt, stretch pants, pink shades, and a large gold chain around her neck.]

Mrs. Blizzard: What’s up, snitches?

Diddy: [checking her out] It’s indeed a pleasure to meet you. [kisses her hand and continues to admire her]

Mrs. Blizzard: Oh Diddis, you know a bitch gotta stay dipped!

Diddy: Indeed.

Studio Engineer: [looking very confused] Whaaaat?!

Diddy: Alright, let’s get back to makin’ this smash. [bends over toward the microphone] Hey Blizzy Rock, let’s hit it one more time baby!

[The hip-hop track starts playing once again as Blizzard Man moves to the beat.]

Blizzard Man: Yo! Uh! Streets want it! Another bad creation! You crazy for this one, MC Scat Cat? Check my style out!

[The beat keeps going, and Blizzard Man once again launches full-tilt into his rap, off-key and out of sync.]

Blizzard Man: The city is spooky, but we’re not scared. We hang on the stoop and razz the cops. Then we stuff socks down the front of our jeans, and the gals see the bulge and they think it’s our wang! Yo! No homo. [crosses his arms with a smug look on his face]

Diddy: Woooo!

Studio Engineer: [looking thoroughly agitated] NO!

Diddy: What you talking ‘bout? My boy just killed it in there!

Mrs. Blizzard: Yeah, don’t front on Blitz. He’s…he’s spittin’ hot fire!

Diddy: [turns to Mrs. Blizzard and checks her out once again] No, girl, you the one that’s hot fire. You wasn’t my man’s mom, I’d tear that ass up.

Mrs. Blizzard: Thank you! [turns around and grinds against Diddy with her rear-end]

[The male studio exec can’t believe what he’s hearing / seeing.]

Female Studio Exec: Ummm, you must be really proud of your son?

Mrs. Blizzard: Oh yes indeed. He’s a roughneck who gets his thug on, and he looks like a young Denzel.

[CUT to Blizzard Man in the booth; he has a moronic, blank stare on his face and his mouth hangs open.]

Studio Engineer: Man, he looks like he’s going to the bathroom!

Diddy: Alright alright, one more time. [bends towards the microphone] Blizz Nasty, come on, I want you to really put it on ‘em this time. Let’s go!

[Hip-hop track resumes]

Blizzard Man: Yo! Bad boy is in the buildin’! We run New York! Diddy and Blizzy! Nineteen ninety FORK!

Studio Engineer: [to Diddy] Ninety fork?

Blizzard Man: Yo, parents don’t understand! Hungry like the wolf! Check my style out!

[Blizzard Man once again launches into his terrible, off-beat / off-key rap. As he raps, the camera CUTS to the studio execs and the engineer – all with horrified looks on their faces.]

Blizzard Man: New York is a heck of a town. We all talk funny ‘cuz we’re from the streets. We shoot the crud and drink malted beers, and wear novelty chains of enormous size. This song needed pizzazz; I’m makin’ it cook with my velvety pipes.

[Diddy and Mrs. Blizzard begin dancing; bumping and grinding to the music.]

Blizzard Man: The glare from our diamonds are so dang bright that I lose my stomach and barf on the stool. Doop doop doobidy doop boop a doop…

Male Studio Exec: Well congratulations, Diddy. I think you got yourself another hit.

Diddy: As I told y’all, we going straight to the top with this one baby. Yeeah!

[FADE to a Daily Press newspaper headline which reads, “NEW DIDDY SONGS HITS #1: BLIZZARD MAN’S MOM TO APPEAR ON THE COVER OF ‘KING’ MAGAZINE.” HOLD on the chart for several seconds, then FADE to black over applause.]

Anchor: Morning, everyone. Our top story today: Shots were fired last night outside a midtown convenience store, and residents of a 50th Street apartment bilding saw the entire incident. Our own veteran reporter, Herb Welch, is on the scene. And, today he’s celebrating his 60th year in broadcasting.

[ dissolve to Herb Welch on the scene ]

Herb Welch: [ barely conscious ] …Hello, Jack.

Anchor: Hello, Herb — and congratulations! Now, tell us — what’s happening down there?

Herb Welch: I’m here with Maria De — De — Sylvia.

Maria DeSalvo: DeSalvo!

Herb Welch: What?

Maria DeSalvo: Maria De. Salv. O.

Herb Welch: [ he sighs ] Well, I don’t know. Why — why don’t you tell me what happened? [ he thrusts the microphone against her nose ]

Maria DeSalvo: Uh — well, I heard some shooting outside, and, uh, the kids were looking out the windows, so I told them, you know, “Get down!”

Herb Welch: Do you have any, uh, fun plans for, uh, for Turkey Day? [ he thrusts the microphone against her nose ]

Maria DeSalvo: Uh — what?!

Herb Welch: You gonna cook a bird, or, I don’t know, some yams or something?

Maria DeSalvo: Well — [ she flinches in prepration for Herb’s microphone whack ] We go to my Mother’s.

Herb Welch: So there you have it. Back to YOU, Jack!

Anchor: Okay, now, now, now wait a minute, Herb. Why don’t we ask her a little more about the robbery? Like, what time was it?

Herb Welch: What’s that?

Anchor: What TIME was it?

Herb Welch: Oh. Uh — uh — uh — What time is it? [ he thrusts the microphone against her nose ]

Maria DeSalvo: Oh! It’s, like… 10 a.m.

Herb Welch: 10 a.m., Jack. You ought to wear a WATCH! When I was an anchor, I always wore a watch!

Anchor: No, Herb — ask her what time she heard the shots!

Herb Welch: Alright. Well, uh, what time did you hear the shots?

[ he thrusts the microphone toward her nose, but she ducks out of the way ]

Maria DeSalvo: I think it was around 8:30, but — [ Herb thrusts the microphone upward to hit her in the nose, then thumps it on her nose a few times ] No. [ thump ] My — [ thump ] kid — [ thump ] my kid saw everything! Everything!

Herb Welch: Thank you. Take it awaaaaaay, Jack!

Anchor: No, Herb! Herb! It sounds — it sounds like the children may have seen the shooting. Okay? Why don’t we talk to one of them Herb?

Herb Welch: [ shaking his fingers at the camera ] You call me “Mr. Welch!”

Anchor: [ incredulous ] Alright. Alright, Mr. Welch. Ask who SAW the SHOOTING!

Herb Welch: Alright, now. Uh — uh — uh — uh, who saw the shooting?

[ he psyche-thumps the microphone at her a few times ]

Maria DeSalvo: My boy — Ricky! Ricky. [ she points off-screen ]

Herb Welch: Uh — [ he turns around ] Come here. [ he pulls Ricky into frame ] I got him. Now — now — now, what do you want me to do?

Anchor: [ shaking his head ] Ask him what he saw.

Herb Welch: Alright. What did you see? [ he thrusts the microphone against Ricky’s nose ]

Ricky: I saw two guys come runnin’ out of the store, and they jumped into a red car.

Herb Welch: Who’s your favorite baseball player?

Ricky: Uh — what? [ Herb whacks Ricky in the nose with his microphone ] What are you talking — ?

[ Ricky’s sister steps forward ]

Sister: They didn’t jump in a car — they jumped in a van?

Herb Welch: Who are you? [ he thrusts the microphone against her nose ]

Sister: I’m his sister.

[ Herb repeatedly thumps each kid as they argue during their turn ]

Ricky: Stupid! It was a CAR!

Sister: It was a VAN! You don’t remember!

Ricky: Yeah, I DO!

Sister: No — Ow! Hey!

[ Herb begins to manaically whack each kid with the microphone as their argument escalates ]

Anchor: Herb! Herb! HERB!! Herb, quit hitting them with the microphone!! [ Herb doesn’t stop ] Herb, this is ridiculous!! STOP IT!!!

Herb Welch: What, what?

Anchor: STOP IT!!!

Herb Welch: Hey! I’m not gonna take reporting lessons from some haircut!

Anchor: Oh? Well, maybe you should, because you’re a lousy reporter.

[ Maria runs into frame ]

Maria DeSalvo: Hey… hey! Excuse me, Jack! With all due respect, uh, I don’t think you should yell at Mr. Welch so much. He’s just a little confused, alright?

Herb Welch: That’s right…

Maria DeSalvo: There’s a lot of different apartments before we found him in the hall, but, considering how old he is… he’s doing a pretty good job.

Herb Welch: This broadcast, by the way, is brought to you by Kale’s Brill Creme!

Anchor: [ shaking his head ] No, it’s NOT!

Herb Welch: Son of a bitch!

[ Herb begins to pelt the camera with his microphone ]

Anchor: Okay. Okay. Okay, Herb! Alright, this was a BIG mistake! Alright, we apologize to you at home. We’ll follow up on that story later. Coming up: Some local residents are up in arms about asbestos found in their building. [ a paper is handed to him ] Oh, and some… sad news — we’ve jsut received word that veteran reporter, Herb Welch… died five seconds ago.

[ cut to Herb sitting dead on a couch with Maria DeSalvo, with SUPER: “HERB WELCH, 1920-2010” ]

[ suddenly, Herb rises and begins to pelt the camera with his microphone ]

Herb Welch: I’m not dead, you bastards!

The Essentials with Robert Osborne

Robert Osborne…..Jason Sudeikis
Dorothy…..Anne Hathaway
Scarecrow…..Andy Samberg
Tin Man…..Taran Killam
Cowardly Lion…..Bill Hader
Weather Vane…..Fred Armisen
The Wizard…..Bobby Moynihan

[The narrator tells us that we are watching “Turner Classic Movies.” The show: “The Essentials with Robert Osborne.”]

Robert Osborne: Hello, I’m Robert Osborne. Welcome back to “The Essentials,” where we take a behind the scenes look at America’s greatest films. Last week, we showed you some rare footage of Bing Crosby screaming at a cleaning woman. This week, we have a real treat in store. 1939’s “Wizard of Oz” is filled with unforgettable scenes and characters. But, tonight, we take a look at the moments that ended up on the cutting room floor. Let’s watch those lost scenes now.

[The music of “We’re Off to See the Wizard” begins. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion are skipping down the yellow brick road and singing the tune.]

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion: [singing] We’re off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!

[Suddenly there’s a rustle in the corn to the left of the group.]

Dorothy: Shhh…I hear something!

[A dorky looking weather vane appears, complete with old-style glasses and think New York accent.]

Weather Vane: Hi. How are you?

Tin Man: Well, would you look at that!

Weather Vane: What’s going on, you know, it’s weird ’cause I heard you guys goin’ down the road, and I’m thinking where are those guys going, you know? So, I figure I’d come check it out.

Scarecrow: Well, you’re an awful strange looking bird. What are those letters?

Weather Vane: Oh, I’m a weather vane. I work up on that barn up there, you know. So, when the wind blows, I go different directions, you know. [He trails off.] Where you guys goin’?

Dorothy: Why, we’re off to see the wizard.

Scarecrow: I’m going to get a brain.

Tin Man: I’m going to get a heart.

Cowardly Lion: I’m gonna get some courage so I can put ’em up, put ’em up, put ’em up!

Dorothy: [talking to the Weather Vane] And if you come with us, you can ask the wizard for something to.

Weather Vane: Oh really? I’m thinkin’. You know what I want? A new apartment. I’ve been in the same place for like four years now, yeah, I got two roommates, yeah, added to that, it’s like far from everything. I can’t buzz people in, you know, the buzzer doesn’t work; so you gotta drop the key down the window. I can’t live like that.

[Music starts up.]

Dorothy: [singing] So now we all know what we want.

Scarecrow: [singing] A brain.

Tin Man: [singing] A heart.

Cowardly Lion: [singing] The nerve.

Weather Vane: [singing] Plus my own apartment.

Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion: [singing] We’re off to see the Wizard! The wonderful Wizard of Oz!

Weather Vane: Where you guys goin’?

[Cut back to Robert Osborne, sitting in his chair.]

Robert Osborne: The original script featured several scenes with the character of the Weather Vane, played by New York actor Lon Donson. [A black-and-white photo of Donson is shown, with him wearing the same black-rimmed glasses the Weather Vane was wearing.] Let’s look at another unseen treasure.

[Cut back the gang staring at the Emerald City in wonderment.]

Tin Man: Oh! There it is! The Emerald City! Why, it’s just beautiful, isn’t it?!

Scarecrow: Isn’t it something, Dorothy?

[Pan over to Dorothy standing with the Weather Vane.]

Weather Vane: Dorothy, so how long until we get there?

Dorothy: We’re supposed to just follow the yellow brick road.

Weather Vane: You know, I was telling the Lion just now, I say, we’re walking all day, you know, we’re not stopping to eat, and I’m starving, I’m getting dizzy. I pointed out like eight places we could stop to get something, you know what I mean?

Dorothy: Oh, we need to get there soon. My Auntie Em must be so worried about me.

Weather Vane: I’m talking! OK, so Tin Man goes ‘OK, we’ll eat when we get to Oz,’ and I go ‘I don’t know what’s going to be open, you know, and I can’t take my pills on an empty stomach.’ So….

Dorothy: I just hope…..

[Music starts up. The Weather Vane seems confused.]

Weather Vane: [looking around] What are you doin’? What are you gonna sing a song? Are you gonna sing?

Dorothy: [singing] Someday, I’ll wake up from my eyes…

Weather Vane: Dorothy?…

Dorothy: [singing] …and in that land beyond the skies…

Weather Vane: Dorothy? Dorothy? Did you write this song?

Dorothy: [singing] you’ll find me!

Weather Vane: Scarecrow, did you write this? Tin Man?

Dorothy: [singing] Somewhere, over the rainbow…

[Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow join the two and begin to sway to the music.]

Weather Vane: This melody is so good. Do you guys know this song? I never heard it in my life.

[Cut back to Robert Osborne, sitting in his chair. He pauses as the audience claps and cheers with laughter at the ridiculousness of the Weather Vane.]

Robert Osborne: If you listen closely, at the end of that scene, you can here the crew booing. Despite his unpopularity, however, director Victor Fleming shot over 400 feet of film featuring the forgotten Weather Vane.

[Cut back to Oz, where the Wizard is giving the group their gifts.]

Wizard of Oz: And remember, Tin Man, a heart is not measured by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.

Weather Vane: Congratulations, that’s really nice for you.

Dorothy: [dejectedly] Oh, Wizard, I suppose there isn’t anything in that black bag for me.

Weather Vane: Hey, wait, wait…you skipped me! She’s gotta wait her turn, right, Wizard? You can’t do that!

Dorothy: But, I want to go home! To Kansas!

Weather Vane: Right, but that’s not gonna happen. You gotta stay here, you know, stay with friends until you find an apartment. You know, this guy can help you. He is….[the camera does a close-up of the Weather Vane and his goofy expression]…the WIZARD OF OZ! [The Weather Vane then gives an awkward look to the camera.]

[Cut back to Robert Osborne sitting in his chair.]

Robert Osborne: Lon Donson went on to be cut from several other Hollywood classics. He had memorable deleted scenes in films like “Casablanca”….[Donson is shown in black-and-white footage wearing an officer’s uniform with a weird expression on his face]…”The Ten Commandments”…[Donson is shown, glasses and all, with an amazed look on his face as Moses hands down the Commandments……and “The Sound of Music”……[Donson is shown with his hands over his ears as the von Trapp family is singing one of their memorable tunes]..where he played a neighbor who asked the von Trapps to ‘please keep it down.’ For Turner Classic Movies, I’m Robert Osborne.

[The title card (“The Essentials” with Robert Osborne) is shown again.]
