Mark: I don’t know.
Todd: Hey, you got me.
Jackie: No clue.
[ Dimitri the security guard enters ]
Dimitri: Perhaps it’s a… valentine from a secret admirer?
Jackie: [ piqued ] Ohhh! Read it! Ooh!
Jennifer: [ reading ] “To my sweet Jennifer doll, who I will own if in God’s plans. I take you to woods and we sleep there a hundred years…”
Dimitri: [ innocently ] Oh, that’s real sweet! Sounds like a real charmer!
Jennifer: Um…?
Jackie: Listen — I think it’s kind of creepy.
Jennifer: Listen to this: [ reading ] “I am a person who is closer than you think. I hope to grow closer by days, and… watching… waiting.”
Jackie: [ disgusted ] Okay, you know, it sounds like a threat.
Dimitri: [ nervously ] Uh… even I see that was not the best choice of words — [ quickly ] for whoever wrote it!
Jennifer: [ frightened ] “Closer than you think.” Okay, this is someone who WORKS here! Okay, NO ONE leaves until we figure out WHO this is! Dimitri! You should be questioning people, while I read this psycho’s manifesto!
Dimitri: “Manifesto” is, perhaps, a strong word…
Jennifer: [ reading ] “I want you and it makes me mad.There is something that I can’t say, but we eat dish of milk and bananas together…”? Dimitri! ASK them!
Dimitri: Uh… Mark, did you write this?
Mark: Uh, let me think — Did I write a broken English, crazy, foreign guy note? NO!!
Jennifer: [ reading ] “You are perfect, I am your mother. Ha ha ha! No.”
Dimitri: Ben, I’m looking at you on this one…
Ben: And I’m looking right back at you, buddy!
Jennifer: [ reading ] “I want to screw with you. I take a long time. We will never be apart in the woods…”?

Jennifer: Oh, my God! He must be stalking you, too, Dimitri! He included this SICK picture of you! Dimitri, show this to everyone!
[ Dimitri holds up the photo and winces ]

Jennifer: Yeah! It’s really weird! He must have Photoshopped your head onto a DISGUSTING man’s body wearing a tanktop and leaning on a car!
Dimitri: Jackie, did — do you Photoshop this?
Jackie: No, Dimitri, that actually doesn’t look Photoshopped. It kind of looks like something that really happened.
Jennifer: Oh, yeah, right! So Dimitri rented a LAMBORGHINI, which would cost HUNDREDS —
Dimitri: Four hundred.
Jennifer: Just to take this photo?! I mean, that would be CRAZY!
Dimitri: [ meekly ] Y-yes… I see that now.
Jennifer: Ugh! Okay, everybody, listen to this part: [ reading ] “Do not forget to remind me I have a peanut for you.” Is this a penis? Is he talking about his penis?
Dimitri: [ defesively ] No, no… this one is not creepy at all! There, there is a country — I know — where a common joke is that you take out a ring box, and you say: “[ he opens a ring box with a peanut inside ] “I am proposing to you. No — it is just a peanut!” You see? [ he laughs buffoonishly ] It is actually quite… quite a funny, sweet joke!

Dimitri: Jackie, was this your own handiwork?
Jackie: Oh, Dimitri…. [ she shakes her head ]
Dimitri: Ben, you’re awfully quiet!
Ben: [ laughing ] Come on, man!
Dimitri: Todd!
Todd: You gotta ask me the full question, Dimitri!
Dimitri: Yeah. Todd, did you reference a popular tradition from my village, in which you offer a peanut as a kind of fake proposal/traditious joke?
Todd: [ shaking his head ] NO, Dimitri!
Jennifer: Well, I guess we’ll NEVER know who sent this! But, Dinitri, I’d feel safer if you came to lunch with me.
Dimitri: Yes, I hope to close… to grow close by… that… day’s…. end…
Jennifer: Okay, let me just grab my things… [ she lifts hr purse to reveal another letter ] Wait a minute, what is this letter? [ she opens it to reveal a photo ] Oh, this is just a picture of some black guy’s penis!

Patrick Vance: Well, I’m 38 years young! I was Valedictorian in high school and college, and — this is kind of embarrassing — I love Katy Perry! [ he laughs ] Last year, I saw her concert, like, a hundred times.
Mack Montgomery: Wow! That’s committment! Finally, we have Meredith Fine. Meredith, what’s going on with you?

Patrick Vance: [ proudly ] At least!
Mack Montgomery: Your question is: [ reading card stoicly ] “What have you become?”
[ soft piano music plays ]
Patrick Vance: [ he suddenly drops his smile ] Oh, God! My God! I follow Katy Perry on tour. I go alone. I tell everyone my daughter’s in the bathroom, but… I don’t have a daughter… What have I become?
[ buzzer ]
Mack Montgomery: Sorry, Patrick! We can’t accept that — and, Patrick.. Patrick… neither should you.
Patrick Vance: [ he nods ] I know…
Mack Montgomery: Alright, Meredith — you had a chance earlier to say ANYTHING about yourself, and you chose that you were bad at KNITTING! So your question is: [ reading card stoicly ] “What have you become?”
[ soft piano music plays ]
Meredith Fine: [ smiling ] Okay! I see what you’re trying to do, Mack, but it’s not gonna work, so stop the music, okay? I always wanted to be a mom, and now I have a beautiful daughter and I’ve become exactly what I want!
[ ding ]
Mack Montgomery: Ah-ha! Good for you! Quick follow-up: Are you happy?
Meredith Fine: NO!! My daughter’s a BITCH!! [ she breaks into tears ]
[ buzzer ]
Mack Montgomery: Thought so! Okay, time for Round Two!
Donald Latimer: Uh, I don’t want to play if you’re gonna keep asking the same question!
Mack Montgomery: Of course not — that would be cruel! So, instead, to ask the questions — let’s bring out each of your oldest living relatives! First up, it’s Donald’s GRANDFATHER!
[ Donald does a double-take at his grandfather towering over him ]
Donald’s Grandfather: Donald! What have you become?
[ piano music swells ]

[ buzzer ]
Mack Montgomery: Aw, rough day for Donald! Patrick, your question is a two-parter, and it comes from your Great-Grandma Ernestine!
Great-Grandma Ernestine: Patrick… What have you become?
Mack Montgomery: And the second part?
Great-Grandma Ernestine: [ holding up Patrick’s graduation photo ] What happened to this bright, young boy?
[ piano music swells ]
Patrick Vance: Uh… you knew Elenour Roosevelt… All I know is the name of Katy Perry’s cat. It’s “Kitty Purry“. [ he breaks into a pathetic cry ]
Meredith Fine: You know what, Mack? How about I ask you a question?
Mack Montgomery: [ laughing nervously ] That’s not how the game works!
Meredith Fine: [ sternly ] What have you become?
Mack Montgomery: Well, uh… a GAME SHOW HOST…! [ his face turns serious, as piano music swells ] But I wanted to dance… “Mama! Let me dance!” “No, boy! You’ve got to go to Game Show School!” “But, Mama! My feet want to move!” “They belong behind a podium, boy!” “Mama! No!” [ buzzer sounds ] Oh, God…! What have I become?!! [ ] I want to dance!

[ open on Super Bowl XLVII graphics ]
Announcer: We now return to the Super Bowl, on CBS!
[ dissolve to game booth ]
James Brown: Welcome back to the Super Dome! I’m James Brown, here with Dan Marino and Coach Bill Cowher and Shannon Sharpe. For those of you just tuning in — twenty minutes ago, there was a power surge that knocked out a number of lights in the building. and we’ve been told the game will NOT resume for another fifteen minutes.
Shannon Sharpe: [ incredulous ] Another fifteen minutes?! That’s what they said fifteen minutes ago! Don’t make us watch those First Half highlights again! I can’t watch those again!!
James Brown: Alright, well, no reason to panic, Shannon. There’s plenty to talk about.
Dan Marino: Is there? Because I’m running on FUMES, man!
Bill Cowher: We did a SIX-HOUR pre-game! What more is there to say?
James Brown: Just be cool. [ he chuckles nervously ] Now, for another update on the situation, we throw it back down to our own Steve Tasker, who’s on the sidelines! Steve?
[ cut to Steve ]
Steve Tasker: Well, not much new to report, J.B. The lights went out, and now they’re trying to get them back on. Some players are stretching… Some are not. And as a favor, I’d like to ask you NOT to come back to me, because I have NOTHING to add! Back to you, J.B.!
[ return to the game booth ]
James Brown: Alright. Well, thanks, Steve. [ a beat ] That seems like it’s been about fifteen minutes, huh? [ he glances off-camera ] No? It’s been less than one minute? Oh. Okay! Well, uh — as a reminder, tomorrow on CBS, it’s “2 Broke Girls”. “2 Broke Girls”! Very funny show! Now, Bill, as an ex-coach, who do you think is helped by the blackout?
Bill Cowher: Well… as I’ve said seven times in the last fifteen minutes… I can see it having advantages for both sides. [ James Brown is stone-faced ] That’s… all I’ve got, J.B. I am real sorry, pal, but that is all I’ve got.
James Brown: Alright. Well, Dan, what do you think the quarterbacks are thinking?
Dan Marino: Well, if I’m Colin Kaepernick, I’m thinking, “We need to score some points.” And if I’m Joe Flacco, I’m thinking, “Let’s keep this lead!”
James Brown: Wow! Wow! Wow! Oh, that was great, Dan! You should save that one for your REEL!
Dan Marino: Hey, come on!
James Brown: Now, Shannon, you’ve played in some Super Boels. What are the players thinking right now?
Shannon Sharpe: Well… This is only conjection, but if I’m out there and there’s been NO power for TWENTY minutes, I start to think: “Who on this team are we gonna eat first?” The obvious choice is the punter, because he’ll be the easiest to catch. But, then, if you need a punter later in the game, you don’t have one because you ATE him! So…
James Brown: You started thinking about that after twenty minutes? [ he stares into the camera ] What do you get when you cross two ladies, a cupcake shop, and no money? “2 Broke Girls”! Tomorrow on CBS! [ he chuckles ] It’s a very funny show! [ a sheet of paper is handed to him ] Oh, thank God!

James Brown: I’d like to offer a quick apology. I’ve been told we’ve run out of proper commercials, and had to show a WEIRD one. Anybody else got a question?
Shannon Sharpe: I do. I do. Uh — When the clock in the stadium stops… do we stop aging?
James Brown: What?! [ he glances at the camera ] Caroline visits a psychic to learn about her romantic future, on an all new… “2 Broke Girls”! “2 Broke girls”! If it ain’t broke, don’t watch it! That’s a funny show! In fact… can we watch it now? [ he glances off-camera ] No? Alright. Oh! I’ve just received word that our own STEVE TASKER on the sidelines has some new information! Steve!
[ cut to Steve ]
Steve Tasker: I don’t know who told you that, J.B. And I’m willing ot bet that YOU made it up! Suffice it to say, I have NO new information — Back to you, J.B.
[ return to the game booth ]
James Brown: [ shifty-eyed ] Back to you, Steve.

Steve Tasker: [ fuming ] You can’t “Back to you” me, I just “Back to you”ed YOU! Back to YOU!!

James Brown: And right back to you!

Dan Marino: Okay, then — why don’t YOU admit to something?!
James Brown: Fine! I’ve never seen the show “2 Broke Girls”! I mean, I’ve seen actual broke girls! But they didn’t look like pretty white girls in aprons! Shannon! Go!
Shannon Sharpe: Okay. Ray Lewis knows who killed those people, because it was HIM!!
James Brown: OH!! That is JOT true! That is NOT true!
Shannon Sharpe: I had to say something! I HAD TO!!
