Officer Rosen…..Edward Norton
Shalon…..Nasim Pedrad
Student #1…..Aidy Bryant
Student #2…..Noel Wells
Student #3…..Kenan Thompson
Student #4…..Bobby Moynihan
Student #5…..John Milhiser

[ open on Astoria Elementary School ]

[ dissolve to classroom ]

Teacher: Okay, okay, okay! “When my hand goes up…”

Class: “The chatter goes DOWN!!”

Teacher: Oh, yay. Class, this is Officer Rosen, from the Irvine Cops & Classrooms program. He’s going to be talking to you today about Stranger Awareness.

Officer Rosen: Mmm-hmm!

Teacher: So be courteous and still. Yay for this! I’m gonna go sit in my car and make an adult phone call.

[ Teacher exits the classroom ]

Officer Rosen: Alright, good morning, guys!

Class: Good morning, Officer Rosen!!

Officer Rosen: Okay.

Shalon: A cop in a windbreaker?! That’s a cool look, man!

Officer Rosen: Oh. Well, thank you… thank you. Now, I want to talk to you kids today about something that I call “Stranger Danger.” Sometimes, especially now around Halloween, you know, you may find yourself in a situation where you’re confronted by a stranger without a parent or a guardian nearby.

Shalon: So far, so goooooood!

Officer Rosen: Okay. Now, let’s say a man — he pulls up into the school parking lot, and he’s in a van, and he offers you some candy?

Shalon: Oooooohh! I like candy!

Officer Rosen: Uhhhh… well, we all like candy. But, the question is: What should you do?

Shalon: Whatever it takes to GET THAT CANDY!!

Officer Rosen: Now, wait a minute! Wait a minute, wait a minute. The man… he says to you, that what you have to do is get into his van to have that candy.

Shalon: GET IN THAT VA-A-A-A-ANNN!!

Officer Rosen: No! No, no! No, no! No! I’m sorry. It’s on me! It’s on me! I should have clarified: The MAN… is a STRANGER! You don’t know the man.

Shalon: Okay! So, then, you go: “What’s your name? I’m Shalon. Where are you from? I’m from Orange County.” Everything checks out, then hop into that van and GET THAT CANDY!!

Student #1: Ohhhhhh, I get it! So if you introduce yourself to a stranger, they’re not a stranger any more!

Officer Rosen: What?! No, no, no, no, no, no, NO! That’s wrong! That’s wrong! I’m sorry, now what was your name? [ he points to Shalon ]

Shalon: Shalon!

Officer Rosen: Okay. So, Shalon here is, uh, clearly misinformed… but she sounds very confident, and that might be throwing some of the rest of you off. The bottom line, guys, is that you should NEVER, EVER talk to strangers.

Shalon: Whoa, whoa, hold up! I can’t TALK to him?! I mean, I’m shilling in this dude’s SWEET van, eating all his candy, and I’m supposed to just SIT there in total silence?! That is classic BAD MANNERS, man!

Student #2: Yeah! That’s DISRESPECTFUL, Officer Rosen!

Student #3: Yeah, you’re MEAN, Sir!

Officer Rosen: [ fuming ] Okay, guys… When I say “Don’t talk to strangers”… That INCLUDES not getting into the van!

Shalon: Mr. Officer, listen — Let’s back this thing up! There is CANDY involved! Huh? Now, for me, I am ALL about candy! And if all I have to do to GET said candy is hang out in a van… I am NOW all about VANS!!

Student #4: Yes! Shalon’s right. I’m starting to see vans in a whole new way now. Do you know how much CANDY you can fit in a VAN?!!

Shalon: Right!

Student #3: [ looking out the window ] Hey, you guys — There’s a van parked out in the street! If it’s there after school, let’s all approach the driver for candy!

Officer Rosen: No, no! NO!! No, no… DON’T do that!

Student #5: [ raising his hand ] Officer Rosen? Because of you: When I grow up, I want to drive a van and pass out candy to kids. I LOVE VANS!!

Shalon: [ impressed ] Wo-ow! BIG day for vans!

Officer Rosen: Wait, wait, wait! What?! What? Okay, I — I — I think that everybody here may have less of a handle on strangers than before I walked in. [ he sighs heavily ] That’s not a good thing. Shalon? Can you come up here? Help me out. [ she runs up ] These guys obviously look up to you. Are you the leader in the class, or something?

Shalon: Unofficial, no title, but that seems pretty accurate, yeah!

Officer Rosen: Okay. Shalon and I are gonna do a scenario.

Shalon: Okay. It’s Shalon, again…

Officer Rosen: Shalon, we’re gonna do a SCENARIO!! No CANDY in this one!! And there’s no vans, either, okay?

Student #4: [ stunned ] No VANS?? Woof! I already HATE this!

Officer Rosen: Guys! Guys! Just please, please pretend I’m a MAN… who walks up to your friend, Shalon, in a park — and remember, it’s NOT safe to talk to strangers, okay? So I come up and I say, “Hey, little girl… you wanna get in my van?”

Shalon: “You’re probably a friend of my Dad’s! Let’s go!”

Officer Rosen: NO!! NO, NO!! Hey, look! I’m NOT — I am a TOTAL STRANGER to you!!

Shalon: Well… I don’t know all of my Dad’s friends! I don’t even know my DAD!!

Officer Rosen: [ exasperated ] I’m NOT… a FRIEND… of your FATHER!!

Shalon: Oh… Wait! So are you playing my Dad? “Oh, what’s up, Dad! I get why you left, Mom is a mess…”

Student #1: Shalon’s interacting with her Dad, guys!

Class: YAYYYYYYY!!!!

Officer Rosen: I’M NOT HER DAD!!!

Student #4: BE A MAN, AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR CHILD!!

Officer Rosen: She’s not — SHE’S NOT MY DAMN CHILD!!! Now, look — listen!! Can’t anybody even name a SINGLE thing that was wrong with this scenario?!!

Student #4: Ummmmm, let me think… There were no VANS!!

Student #2: And no candy!

Student #3: And the guy playing the Dad SUCKED!!

Student #4: Yeah! But Shalon was AWESOME!!

Class: YEAH!! SHA-LON!! SHA-LON!! SHA-LON!!

Shalon: Yeah, I guess you could say I’m the vans of acting!

Officer Rosen: Yeah, okay… You know what I can say? I think we’re DONE here! [ he throws pamphlets across the desk ] Here’s soem pamphlets! Read them! I’m heading for the precinct house before I TAZE the LOT of you!!

[ he storms out the door, as the Teacher returns ]

Teacher: Well, that was fast. I don’t have any lesson plans for the rest of the day.

Student #3: Well… can we go outside and look for me in vans?

Teacher: Sure. Just make sure y’all have a buddy.

Class: YAYYYYYYY!!!

[ the students run out of the classroom ]

A Message From the Department of Health & Human Services

Kathleen Sebelius…..Kate McKinnon
I.T. Guy…..Bobby Moynihan

[ open on department seal ]

Announcer: And now, a message from the Department of Health & Human Services.

[ dissolve to Kathleen Sebelius ]

Kathleen Sebelius: Hello there, hi! I’m Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health under President Obama. Now, a lot of folks have been talking about our new health care enrollment website… how it’s been crashing and freezing and shutting down and stalling and not working and breaking and sucking.

Well, tonight, I have a number of friendly tips to help you deal with those technical problems. For example, have you tried restarting your computer? Sometimes it helps to turn the computer off, and then turn it back on! We don’t know why, it just does!

If our website still isn’t loading up properly, we’re probably just overloaded with traffic. Millions of Americans are visiting healthcare.gov, which is great news. Unfortunately, the site was only designed to handle six users at a time. So if you’re in a rush… [ she turns to reveal the website up on a computer screen ] Consider using our low-res website… [ she clicks button to “U WANT DOCTR?” screen ] With simpler fonts and graphics. Nice! Or, if the regular English site isn’t working… try signing up in a different language, like, say… Icelandic. [ she clicks to screen ] And then choose one of four simple plans: Fjordflug, Huegelhoffer, Trollish, or High-Five. Now that’s fun!

And if our site keeps freezing, we’ve also provided links to other helpful websites, such as kayak.com… where you can purchase airline tickets to Canada, and buy cheaper prescription drugs. Or how about bitTorrent, where you can download pirated copies of healthcare-related movies like “Patch Adams”! We also have links to a number of doctor-themed pornographic websites that should help you pass the time. Sites like “Docors Without Boundaries”… “Bang Ambulance”… “WebM DD’s”… and “Blue Cross Blue Balls.”

Still need guidance? Consult healthcare.gov’s Frequently Asked Questions, for topics like: “What The Hell?”, “How Have I Been On The Same Page For Three Hours?”, “Does ObamaCare Cover Mental Health Issues Causes By Using This Website?”, and our most frequently asked question: “Who The Government?”

Or you can contact us by mail. Just send a postcard with the word “HELP!” to “The U.S. Government. ATTN: Internet Problems, Washington, D.C.” And in six to eight weeks, you;ll receive an informational brochure. [ she holds up pamphlet: “So You Want To Do Computer?” ] Along with a trial version of Encarta Encyclopedia. Plus: 1,000 free hours of AOL! Just don’t install any of these programs while our website is running, or it WILL cause an actual fire.

So enjoy your new healthcare system, America! And be sure to Like Us on Facebook. [ she clicks a button to reveal the thumbs-up symbol ] Oh, look at that! We’re already up to THREE Likes! And I LIKE… that enthusiasm!

[ she clicks another button, accidentally starting a Virus Download ]

I.T.! Could we get someone from I.T. in here? We’ve got a problem.

[ I.T. Guy enters with a baseball bat and smashes the computer to pieces ]

I.T. Guy: FIXED IT!!

[ he exits ]

Kathleen Sebelius: Oh! Oh! And I almost forgot the most important thing of all. Whatever happens, do not… [ the screen freezes with a spinning rainbow circle, then finally resumes ] …or you WILL die. Thank you for listening, and “Live From New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

Mitchell: Russell! Russell, can you see what’s happening in there?

[ cut to Russell squeezed inside the vent ]

Russell: [ squinting ] Uh… they took my eyeglasses… and one’ of ’em’s puttin’ them on himself, and he… [ excited ] He’s pretendin’ he’s ME! [ laughing ] I DO do that!

Mitchell: I wanna see that! I wanan see that!

Russell: You gotta come in here, these guys are high-larious!

Mitchell: Alright! [ he jumps into the vent ] Oh, my gosh…

[ the possums squeal, as Russell and Mitchell laugh at their antics ]

Russell: What did I tell you? Do these guys do marvelous impressions or what?

Mitchell: My God! Do ME! Do ME!

[ the possums squal, and Russell and Mitchell crack up ]

Mitchell: Look at him!

Russell: It’s exactly how you walk!

Mitchell: Oh, my God! I never thought I would say this, but I… love… these possums!

[ back in the meeting room, everyone stares at Russell and Mitchell’s outstretched largs uncomfortably ]

Russell: Now… now, look… one of them is stickin’ out his little paw in friendship…

Mitchell: YES, Mr. Possum! I accept you as a brother! Wait… now what is that in his paw…?

Russell: Oh, God, he’s got a knife!

Mitchell: OH, MY GOD!! IT WAS A TRAP!!

[ suddenly, the two pairs of legs are yanked forward in the vent and disappear, as the exceutives look on in confused horror ]
