77e: Ray Charles

Brother Ray Meets Mr. Mike

Written by: Michael O’Donoghue

… Ray Charles
Mr. Mike … Michael O’Donoghue
… and the entire cast

[Home Base. The entire cast stands around the grandpiano as Ray Charles sits at the keyboard and plays.The female cast members sing Charles’ hit version of”I Can’t Stop Loving You” … like whitebreadRaylettes.]

Jane, Laraine & Gilda: [singing] I can’tstop loving you

John Belushi: [slips on sunglasses, imitatesCharles, sings]
It’s useless to say
[Applause but then Belushi sings the wrong line:]
To live in memory … of a lonesome time
[Belushi and Charles crack up at the error]
Sing the song…

Jane, Laraine & Gilda: [singing] I can’tstop wanting you

Ray Charles: [also sings the wrong line, toapplause and much amusement from the cast]
I’ve made up my mind
So I’ll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday

[The song ends. Applause.]

John Belushi: You picked up on it.

Ray Charles: Yeah, I picked up on it.

John Belushi: He picked up on it.

Ray Charles: I – I take it it’s music youlike…

[The evil Mr. Mike — a thin, bearded man in dark suitand glasses — quietly approaches the group.]

John Belushi: But, you know, you sound like RayCharles but I look like him, you know.

Ray Charles: Mm hmm. I see.

John Belushi: You know “I Don’t Need NoDoctor”?

Mr. Mike: Hi, kids.

Laraine & Gilda: Oh, hi, Mr. Mike!

John Belushi: Hi, Mr. Mike!

Mr. Mike: Hey, I don’t mean to break up the funhere but we have a little surprise for Ray.

All: Ooooh! A surprise! Okay, surprise.

[The cast steps away from the piano. Mr. Mike standsnext to a painting covered with a red velvet coveringand addresses the audience.]

Mr. Mike: You know, we’ve kidded Ray a lottonight but blindness is nothing to kid about. So, weat Saturday Night, with the network, set up sort of amatching fund and we were able to purchase this lovelypainting in appreciation of Ray Charles and thecourageous example he sets for all of us — besidesbeing one heck of a good sport. And, so, in Ray’sname, we’re donating this painting to the Lighthouseof the Blind, in the hope that someday all will beable to see it. Let me just, uh, pull the string hereand give you to look at what I’m talking about.[removes the covering to reveal a frame without apainting, just big red block letters that read: PLEASEDON’T TELL HIM!] It was painted in 1909 by the FrenchImpressionist Claude Monet and it’s entitled, as youmay have already guessed, “The Old Windmill.” Uh,there’s that shimmering iridescence, the, uh, subtleinterplay between light and shadow that Monet wasfamous for. Hard to describe really, you sort of haveto see it. [approaches piano] Ray, I’m sure there’ssomething you want to say.

Ray Charles: Well, I would like to say that -that – that out of all the awards that I’ve received,I – I – I gotta tell ya, this one, without doubt,makes me the happiest, so let me thank you, Mr. Mike,and I also would like to thank all the wonderfulpeople on Saturday Night Live who’ve made this week somuch fun. Thank you.

Mr. Mike: Hey. Well said. [pats Charles on theshoulder]

Ray Charles: All right. [applause, the castgathers around the piano again]

Mr. Mike: Listen, Ray, I’m sorry. I gotta run.I’ll see ya later at the party, pal.

Ray Charles: Okay. See ya, Mr. Mike.

All: Bye, Mr. Mike. Bye bye.

[Mr. Mike exits. Charles lowers his voiceconspiratorially.]

Ray Charles: Now, what Mr. Mike doesn’t know… is, at the party, are going to be ten or twelve ofthe biggest black dudes he’s ever seen in his life.And they’re gonna whoop him upside his head and breakevery bone in his body. So please don’t tell him!We’ll be right back, right after this next filmedmessage.

[Much applause and laughter from both cast andaudience.]

Ray Charles’ Monologue

… Ray Charles

Don Pardo V/O: Ladies and gentlemen, RayCharles!

[Applause. Darkened Home Base. In a spotlight, RayCharles sits at a grand piano.]

Ray Charles: Aw, thank you. Thank you, thankyou very– Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.Uh, I want to say that when the people, uh, fromSaturday Night first asked me to, uh, host this show,of course, I – I – I said “Absolutely not.” Uh, I – Iknew the show was tasteless and – and offensive and -and – and there was no way I was gonna letthirty years of a career go down the drain. I – I – Imight be blind but I’m certainly not stupid. But they- they – they kept on askin’ me and the producer wassaying, “Hey, hey, Ray, you know, we gonna make youlook good.” And – and– But, you see, I was worriedmore about the sound. So, I – I – eventually, Isaid, “Listen, I’ll tell you what. Er, uh, I’ll do theshow but – but – er, uh – there must be some, uh,particular conditions in order for me to do it. Ah,for instance, I’ve got to have my own musicians. I – Iwant the Raylettes. And they said, “Okay.” But for thelast thing I asked ’em about, it took ’em a littlewhile to come up with it but they were even able to dothat, too. So, therefore, ladies and gentlemen, let mesay that: [grandly] Tonight, we are proud to be comingto you live — from Carnegie Hall!

[lowers his voice conspiratorially] Now, listen, I,uh, I gotta tell you something. [chuckles] You see,now, they think that I think that this isCarnegie Hall but… [laughter and applause] … Yousee, but, ah, the joke is really on them because, yousee, I – I’m not the real Ray Charles. The realRay Charles IS at Carnegie Hall. Ah, but if hewere here tonight, I – I am sure that he wouldlead off this show with somethin’ like this. One!Two!

[Charles’ band comes crashing in and the lights comeup to reveal a stage full of musicians and numerousfemale backing vocalists, the Raylettes. They alllaunch into a swinging, soulful version of “I Can SeeClearly Now” …]

No More Godfather on TV

Tom Hagen…..Bill Murray
Don Vito Corleone…..John Belushi

[ open on Tom Hagen in a dark office speaking with Don Vito Coreleone ]

Tom Hagen: — They did a lot of work on it, they spent a couple millon dollars. Now, it’s true, they showed the bad side of the family. But you came off looking really well tonight.

Don Vito Corleone: I don’t know. You know, if what they say is true, the camera really does put on ten pounds, you know? I don’t like the way we were portrayed, you know? The movie’s the one thing, but.. there’s too much violence on television. Oh, it’s a dirty business. I want no part of it. No more “Godfather” on television!

Tom Hagen: We’ll try whatever we’ve got to do. The Nielsen ratings were awfully high. It’s gonna be difficult to get them to cancel parts two, three and four. In fact, they have plans to do even more.

Don Vito Corleone: What plans?

Tom Hagen: Well, they’ve already started developing two new shows – “Godfather Knows Best”, and another thing called “The Courtship of Eddie’s Godfather.”

Don Vito Corleone: How could NBC treat me with such disrespect? [ “Godfather” theme pots up ] All I’ve done for them. When they wanted Dean Martin to star in a series, who got him for them? I did. Ah, but let’s face it – they never wanted my friendship. It’s okay, I understand – but, now, this? How can they do this to me? We made a no contract.

Tom Hagen: They didn’t have to have a contract. We have no legal recourse!

Don Vito Corleone: Ah, legal recourse. Legal recourse. We’ll go to the mattresses!

Tom Hagen: What do you suggest we do, Godfather? Make them an offer they can’t pass by?

Don Vito Corleone: Hmm.. Something like that. Let’s see. We move hard, fast. Tom – you go to NBC in Hollywood, take Clamenza with you. I want Grizzly Adams to wake up with a bear’s head on his pillow. That’ll take care of it.

Tom Hagen: Okay. How about “Saturday Night Live”?

Don Vito Corleone: Noooo. No, my grandchildren love the show, it makes them laugh. Abd there’s not enough good satire on TV these days. [ camera zooms in ] Besides.. I love it when they say, “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

Blackout

Burglar #1…..Dan Aykroyd
Burglar #2…..Garrett Morris

[ open on a New York night ]

Ray Charles V/O: Oh, I love New York, everything about it — even Con Edison, the electric company. As a matter of fact, when I was in New York last summer, it was Con Ed who came to my rescue.

[ dissolve to Ray Charles talking on the phone in his hotel room ]

Ray Charles: Oh, yes, I’m having a marvelous time! Just yesterday, I was on the observation deck of the World Trade Center. You know, I could smell all the way to New Jersey! [ a hard knock at the door ] Wait a minute, there’s somebody at the door. Yes, who is it?

Burglar #1: Uh… Room Service!

Ray Charles: Alright, just a minute. [ into the phone ] Uh, listen — I’ve got to go now, but, uh, I’ll call you bacl kater, alright? Be cool. [ he hangs up the phone ] Room Service? I never ordered anything from Room Service… Room Service? Let’s see here… [ he opens the door ] Yes?

Burglar #1: Okay, buddy, put your hands up! Cooperate, and you won’t get hurt!

Ray Charles: Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! Steal anything you see…

Burglar #2: Hey, hey, hey, Boss! This here… is Ray Charles, man.

Burglar #1: Who?

Burglar #2: Ray Charles. The King of Soul, man. We can’t rob him.

Burglar #1: Are you kidding? This will be a CINCH! Tie him up!

Burglar #2: Oh, man, I can’t do that!

Burglar #1: I said tie him up, man!

Burglar #2: But, I —

Ray Charles: Which one of y’all got the gun?

Burglar #1: I do. [ he cocks his gun ]

Ray Charles: [ to Burglar #2 ] I think you’d better listen to him.

Burglar #2: Oh. Okay, okay.

Burglar #1: Take the rope out of the bag and tie him up!

Burglar #2: Alright. Sorry, Mr. Charles, but I — I — I guess I gotta… [ the lights suddenly go out ] Hey! Hey, the lights are going out!

Burglar #1: What’s going on? Hey! Hey!

Burglar #2: It’s a blackout! It’s a blackout!

Ray Charles: There is?

Burglar #2: Yeah, I-I-I can’t see anything!

Ray Charles: You can’t?

Burglar #2: No!

[ suddenly, there’s the sound of a wild scuffle ]

[ the lights come back on, as Ray Charles coolly dials the phone ]

Ray Charles: Uh, hello? You say the lights just came back on? Waht are you telling me that for? Is this Room Service? Oh. Well, listen, uh — This is Ray Charles in 1722. And I’d like to order some neckbones and some collared greens and… and… and potato salad and two tall glasses of iced tea. You got it? [ camera pulls back to reveal Burglar #2 tied up and Burglar #1 shot dead across the coffee table ] Okay. Now, when you get that finished, would you please send up the police? Goodbye!

…..Charles Grodin

[FADE IN on the locker room backstage, where Garrett Morris is tying his shoe next to Gilda Radner and John Belushi.]

John Belushi: [under his breath] Jeez.

Voice: [over intercom] Stand by, cast! We have two minutes to air! TWO MINUTES!

John Belushi: I don’t believe it.

Garrett Morris: Oh, John, you’re takin’ yourself too seriously, man. C’mon. Just go on and have a good show–Gilda, will you talk to him?

Gilda Radner: Yeah, right, have a good show, Garrett!

Garrett Morris: [walking off camera] All right!

Gilda Radner: See ya later.

John Belushi: [changing clothes] I dunno, Gilda. I dunno, this, this Chuck Grodin guy is really making me nervous. I mean, he’s barely here all week, and he missed dress rehearsal. That’s inexcusable, dress rehearsal!

Gilda Radner: Well, he must know what he’s doing, John. He’s a brilliant actor.

John Belushi: I know, but he doesn’t know TV, y’know, I mean… He doesn’t smoke dope, he’s just not one of us!

[laughter]

Gilda Radner: Well, he spends a lot of time by himself, y’know. He has a place up in Massachusetts, and then he leaves there and does a film, and then he goes back to Massachusetts.

John Belushi: Mmmm… He doesn’t know what’s going on. He’s never even seen the show…

Gilda Radner: He’s a real sweet guy and if we just help him through, then he can… [looks up] Hi, Chuck!

[ENTER Grodin with a huge black shopping bag in his hand.]

Charles Grodin: Hi, Glenda! [to John] Hi, Bungee! [reaches into bag] I gotcha some gifts. It’s an old New England tradition to give gifts.

Gilda Radner: Oh, thank you, Chuck! That’s real nice.Charles Grodin: It’s a maroon dickey. I hope you like it, Glenda.

[laughter]

Charles Grodin: Bungee, you’re a tough guy to shop for. Here, I got you a shaving kit. I hope you like it.

[He hands a wrapped box to Belushi.]

John Belushi: Oh. Thanks.

Voice: One minute! One minute to the monologue!

Gilda Radner: Oh, um, Chuck, have you worked on your monologue?

Charles Grodin: Monologue?

Gilda Radner: You do a monologue to open the show.

John Belushi: Yeah, a monologue. Didn’t Lorne tell you about the monologue?

Charles Grodin: Oh, he did mention something, but what with doing promotions for the show, and sightseeing, and catching up with old friends, and I’ve written a song, to express how I feel about life, that they say they’re gonna let me sing, so I really haven’t paid that much attention to it.[laughter]

John Belushi: You’ll have to go out there in less than a minute and do a monologue to make the studio audience LAUGH, y’know?

Charles Grodin: Studio audience?

[laughter]

Charles Grodin: I didn’t know there was an audience.

John Belushi: Well, maybe if you’d been to dress rehearsal, you’d know that there was an AUDIENCE out there!

Gilda Radner: John, John, John…

Charles Grodin: I’m sorry, y’know, the stores close at nine, it was a direct conflict with dress rehearsal.

[laughter]

Charles Grodin: I couldn’t very well get gifts for some of the cast and not for everyone. If I had forgotten to get a gift for Garrett… [lowers voice] I mean, can you imagine my embarrassment if I’d forgotten to get a gift for Garrett? I mean, Garrett, especially.

John Belushi: Yeah.

Gilda Radner: Well, Chuck, the gifts are really nice, but I think you should–

Charles Grodin: You like the dickey? Listen, I could give Laraine the travel alarm clock, if you would rather have that than the dickey–

Gilda Radner: No, no, no, I like the dickey.

Charles Grodin: How about you, John, would you prefer a travel alarm clock instead of the, uh, shaving kit?

John Belushi: Well, if it doesn’t make any difference…

[laughter]

Charles Grodin: [trades gifts] I’ll give you the alarm clock. And I could give the shaving kit to Danny, and I got a keychain for Danny that I could give to Laraine–I couldn’t give the shaving kit to Laraine. That wouldn’t be…

Gilda Radner: No.

Charles Grodin: Oh, my God, y’know, I forgot to get something for the director. You think there are any shops that are still open around here now?

John Belushi: Chuck, you can’t go to a shop, we’re doing a live SHOW. There’s no time!

Charles Grodin: Live?

John Belushi: [exasperated] Yeah, it’s “Saturday Night… LIIIIII-IIIIIIIIVE.”

Charles Grodin: Wait a second. You mean, really, live?

John Belushi: YES!

Charles Grodin: Really?

Gilda Radner: Yeah, and, like, you should be working on your monologue, ’cause you have to go out and do it in one minute.

Charles Grodin: You do this actually live?

John Belushi: [losing patience] YEEEE-EEEES! You know, like… LIVE, FROM NEW YORK, IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT!!! [FADE to montage as Belushi mugs for the camera.]
