Sister 1: This is my dream come true! I mean, I’m totally serious! Tigger hugged me at the door, and I thought I was gonna cry!
Sister 2: Awww..
Debbie Downer: [ sullenly ] I guess Roy isn’t doing as well as I first thought..

Debbie Downer: Do you guys care about that train explosion in North Korea?
[ drunken trombone sound effect; Jimmy Fallon starts to crack up ]
Debbie Downer: The media is so sensitive there.. so secretive —
[ Rachel Dratch begins to crack up with Jimmy Fallon ]

Debbie Downer: Wow, you guys, Disneyworld really is fun, it makes me feel like a kid again. I mean, the time before my two-year stint at Children’s.
[ sound effect, as camera zooms in on Debbie’s comic distraught face as she takes the picture ]
[ everyone tries desperately not to crack up, as Pluto comes over ot hug Debbie ]
Debbie Downer: Oh.. hey.. hey, Pluto, hi. Boy.. it must be fun to work here.. although, the biggest drawback to working in a theme park is that you must live in constant fear of deadly terrorist attacks.
[ the jovial Pluto stops being so jovial, its tongue hanging out rather sad and pitiful in light of Debbie’s statement ]
[ sound effect, as camera zooms in on Debbie’s comic distraught face, which begins to crack up under Rachel Dratch’s crumbling willpower ]
[ Pluto runs off ]
Brother 1: Pluto.. Pluto, wait, where are you going?

Debbie Downer: Speaking of heat.. if this greenhouse effect keeps up, we’ll all be living underwater.
[ drunken trombone sound effect, as camera zooms in on Debbie’s comic distraught face which breaks because of her cracking up; Rachel Dratch tries to hold her breath to keep from cracking up, but it doesnt work that well ]
Debbie Downer: By the way — [ cracks up ] By the way, it’s official — [ pauses extensively to hold in her laughter; Jimmy Fallon is looking at her. Dratchs voice breaks as she says the next line]: I can’t have children! [Jimmy Fallon covers his face with his hands to keep from laughing]

Sister 1: Okay. You know what, Debbie? [ stands ] You are totally ruining my trip to Disne — [ cracks up in the middle of her anger, then composes herself quickly as Horatio Sanz is wiping his tears of laughter with a Mickey Mouse waffle ] I didn’t say a word during It’s A Small World, when you talked about low birth weight! Or, during the fireworks when you went on — [ cracks up again, tries to sit down, but gets back up and finishes the line ] When you when on and on about feline AIDS!
Debbie Downer: It’s the number one killer of domestic cats.

Sister #1: I cant take this! [leaves in a huff
Debbie Downer: So, after this, we’ll head to the park, guys? [ cracks up ] Lather up the sunscreen. I had a mole looked at recently, and the doctor told me that, due tothe extent of its irregular borders, I’m flirting with a melanoma.
[ drunken trombone sound effect, as camera zooms in on Debbie’s comic distraught face; Rachel Dratch again tries to hold her breath to keep from laughing ]
