Female A-Hole: I want to wait ’til the news gets here.
Male A-Hole: Yeah, we’re gonna wait for the news
Detective Kelly: Look! It’s a stolen vehicle, ma’am. It doesn’t make the news!
Female A-Hole: It would if a baby stole it.
[ Male A-Hole points proudly at his wife ]
Detective Kelly: Look! You two are the only witnesses that we have, so I’d really appreciate a little help!
Female A-Hole: I remember.
Male A-Hole: Hey, buddy – we got it.

Detective Kelly: Yeah, I can see that.
Male A-Hole: Uh-huh. That means “no.”
Detective Kelly: Yeah! I went to school, I know what it means! so, then why did he look like Jesus?
Detective Kelly: He looked.. like a rabbit? What the hell does that mean?
Female A-Hole: Can we get the reward now?
Male A-Hole: Yeah, when do we get paid?
Detective Kelly: You don’t get a reward.
Male A-Hole: Alright, we don’t get paid tonight, babe! [ to Detective Kelly ] It probably comes in the mail, right? Cashier’s check?
Detective Kelly: No! There’s no cashier’s check!
Male A-Hole: Oh, right, right, right – it’s all direct deposit now, huh?
Detective Kelly: No! No, no! There’s no reward!
Male A-Hole: Oh? ‘Cause you gotta catch him first?
Detective Kelly: NO! NO! There’s no reward!! SHUT UP!! Now, you either start answering my questions, or I’ll arrest the two of you for obstruction of justice!

[ dissolve to interior, classroom, as Teacher addresses his class in a close-up ]
Teacher: What’s up, everybody? I am pumped to welcome you to the Learning Annex’s MySpace and You seminar. Today we’re going to help you guys set up a MySpace page, so you an communicate with mroe than 6 million young people currently in the MySpace community. Okay, let’s get started. [ squints his eyes ] You know, this is a slightly older group than I was expecting.
[ show the class, a soccer mom surrounded by a group of sleazy-looking adult men ]
Soccer Mom: [ looks around, giggles ] Uh – well, I admit i’m not here to start my own MySpace page, but my daughter is spending all of her time on it, so I thought I should see what all this hullabaloo is about!
Teacher: Okay. And the rest of you?
Chadster1991: ..What she said?
Other Men: Yeah – yeah – what the lady said – that’s it!
Teacher: Fair enough. Uh – now, the first step in creating your MySpace page is to fill out your profile – things like your name, sex, and age.
Bill: Now, with the age thing – could my, uh, “child” put a different age than his actual age.
Teacher: Yeah, I guess he could.
Bill: MySpace doesn’t have a way to police that?
Teacher: Not really.
Bill: So, if my “son” was.. forty-five.. he could say he was fifteen?
Teacher: Your son is forty-five?
Bill: I said, if he was forty-five. It’s hypothetical.
Teacher: Well, yeah, technically he could say any age he wanted. But why would he do that?
9thGradeSk8terBoi: Well, sometimes people from one age group feel more comfortable around people of another age group. Um – maybe he wants to put what age his soul is, and.. not what age he actually is.
[ the other men agree with his valid point ]
Soccer Mom: Well, um, I am always worried that my daughter and her friends are putting older ages – you know, so they could seem more mature. Do you gentlemen have the same worries with your kids?
[all the men stare at the women, until finally one of them hesitantly speaks up ]
NaughtyGirlHotStuff: Y-yes?
Teacher: Alright, you can also fill in things like your taste in music or your favorite movies. This way, you can meet people with similar tastes.
Soccer Mom: [ laughs ] Oh! My goodness! This music my daughter listens to – I don’t know how she listens to it! It must be a generational thing.
Chadster1991: Uh, I have a question.
Teacher: Yeah, go ahead.
Chadster1991: What kind of music does your daughter listen to?
Soccer Mom: Oh, uh, let’s see, what does she – oh, she listens to a lot of this band called.. Fall Out Boy.
[ all the men simultaneously type the information into their laptop computers ]
Teacher: Okay, uh – now, let’s move on —
Jason: I’m sorry – real quick. Is “Fall Out Boy” one, two, or three words?
Soccer Mom: Oh. I don’t know. [ laughs ]
Bill: I found it! It’s three words!
[ all the men simultaneously type this new information into their laptop computers ]
Teacher: Another fun part of MySpace is picking out a screen name. One common approach is to use some variation of your name and the year that you were born. So, for instance, mine is: DJDanny1979. It’s a good way to give people a little more info on who you are.
Soccer Mom: [ laughs ] Well, I don’t want to “date” myself, fellas, but.. you can call me Nancy1966!
Teacher: Nice work. Alright. Let’s see what else we got here. [ walks over to Chadster1991 ] Chadster1991?
Chadster1991: One-thousand nine-hundred ninety-one is my favorite number.
Teacher: Okay, well, Chad —
Chadster1991: My name is Larry.
Teacher: Okay, Larry. Well, if you put 1991 on there, it might make people think you’re 15.
Chadster1991: Well, that’s a risk I’m trying to take. I really like the number.
Teacher: Okay. And, what else we got? How about over here? [ walks over to 9thGradeSk8terBoi ] 9thGradeSk8terBoi.
9thGradeSk8terBoi: [ uncomfortably ] Sk8terBoi was my fraternity nickname.
Teacher: Spelled like the Avril Lavigne song?
9thGradeSk8terBoi: Yeah.
Teacher: And why does it say 9thGrade if it was a fraternity nickname?
9thGradeSk8terBoi: [ struggling for a lie ] Um.. because, uh.. I went to college early.. like uh.. Doogie Howser!
Teacher: Okay. Alright. And what do we got over here? [ approaches NaughtyGirlHotStuff ] NaughtyGirlHotStuff. You know, I don’t even want to hear your explanations, but – you should know you’re gonna get a lot of teenaged boys wanting to meet you.
NaughtyGirlHotStuff: [ feigning shock and disdain ] Oh, no.. I don’t want that! Why would I want that? Let me just change that. [ mimes typing on his keyboard ]
Chadster1991: Uh – I have a question?
Teacher: Yeah.
Chadster1991: Let’s say you meet someone on MySpace, and want to arrange to meet them in person.
Teacher: Okay.
Chadster1991: Like, maybe you’re going to meet them at their house.
Teacher: What’s your question?
Chadster1991: What’s the best way to make sure that “Dateline”‘s not going to be there?
Teacher: [ returns to the front of the classroom ] Okay. Uh – I’m just going to race through the rest of this. Uh – you’re going to want to select an avatar, which is a visual representation of yourself. Most people use a picture of themselves.
Chris: Excuse me? Um – I was recently in a “car accident” that “severely” altered my appearance. Is it okay to use a picture of myself from before said “accident”?
Teacher: You can use anything you want – again, MySpace doesn’t really have a way to police that.
Chris: Ex-cellent!
Teacher: Just out of curiosity, what did you look like before your accident?
Chris: Chad Michael Murray.
Teacher: [ skeptical ] You looked like Chad Michael Murray?
Chris: Before the “accident”, yes, much exactly like Chad Michael Murray.
Teacher: And what kind of “accident” was it?
Chris: A severe one.
9thGradeSk8terBoi: I used to look like Ashley Parker Angel!
NaughtyGirlHotStuff: I’ve been told I look like Jessica Alba.
Soccer Mom: [ laughs ] You know what? My son loves her!
NaughtyGirlHotStuff: [ silently ] Yes!
[ suddenly, a police officer enters the room, knocking on the door forcefully after he’s already entered ]
Police Officer: Excuse me!
[ as if on cue, the older male students quickly scoop up their laptops and rush out of the classroom, offering phony excuses like “I think I left the lights on in my car!” ]
Teacher: How can I help you?
Police Officer: Well, I’m gonna teach a community policing class. do you know where Room 904 is?
Teacher: Yeah, down the hall.
Police Officer: Alright, thanks a lot! [ exits classroom ]
[ the Teacher looks at what’s left of his class – the soccer mom and 9thGradeSk8terBoi leaning against the back wall attempting to hide behind a potted plant he holds in front of his face ]
Teacher: You should probably tell your daughter to stay off the internet.

(Opens with the Morning Show logo and a goofy theme music. The hosts sit on their TV studio set with a background of the city behind them)
Announcer: And now the Morning Show with Lydia Johnson and Peter Phillips.
Lydia: Good Mornin- (goofy theme music continues) That´s weird. Can we cut the music?
Peter: The music still going. Can someone turn it off?
(Music stops)
Lydia: Guess we´re having some technical difficulties.
Peter: Yeah, must be something in the air. Everything has gone a little haywire this morning.
Lydia: Sure has. Anyway, hello and welcome to the Morning Show. I´m Linda Davenport, uh…Lydia Johnson. Why did I say that? I guess I´m a little off too.
Peter: And I´m Peter Phillips. We have a great show planned for you but first we´re excited because we have a birthday on the set today.
Lydia: Yes, one of the members of the crew has a special birthday. Our very own Stan turns 72 today,(off camera) oh, he did? Oh…
Peter: (off camera)What? Last night? That´s terrible. Our condolences go out to Stan´s family.
Lydia: Well, we got a lot of neat things to get to today so…
Peter: Yeah, ahh… let´s get to our weather man out on the street Rick Courtney, he´s got our forecast for this afternoon.
Lydia: Hi, Rick! How are things out there?
(camera splits showing Rick talking with great enthusiasm with no audio)
Peter: Looks like we´re having problems with his audio. Can we turn his mike up? (goofy theme music plays) No, that´s the theme music again.
Lydia: Can we please turn that off? (goofy theme music stops and the audio on Rick is restored)
Rick: ..so if you live in that area you should be thinking of evacuating. Back to you guys, oh, and Happy Birthday to Stan, 72 years young.
(grim faces on Lydia and Peter)
Peter: Someone probably should´ve let him know about Stan.
Lydia: Yes, ok what do you say we get to our first guest (guest pops out in front of the hosts) oh, no…not yet. (guest leaves) She is the author of “The Winter’s Edge.” Please welcome, Jackie Miller. (waves her to come in, Jackie enters and shakes hands withLydia)
Jackie: Hi. (Peter is unsure whether to shake hands, kiss or hug, finally ends in an awkward hug) Ok, glad to be here. (Jackie sits and makes a horrible fart noise) Um,that, that wasn´t me it was this chair. See I… (gets up and sits, no fart noise) Well, it’s notdoing it now but it did it before.
Lydia: Jackie, it says here that you´re from New York.
Jackie: No.
Lydia: Talk to research about that.
(Peter and Jackie interrupt each other)
Peter: So, Jackie where did you get—
Jackie: It took me about about five—
Peter: No that´s ok….its my fault—
Jackie: Oh, sorry….I, I to apologize—
Peter: Oh, ok, yeah, all right—
Jackie: No, no, ok you go ahead.
Peter: Ok, where did you get the inspiration for your book?
Jackie: Um, well a lot of it actually came from my own life and much like the character Maria, I fell into a depression and as I got older I used drugs and alcohol to escape. So by the time I was about 16 I was living on the streets—(goofy theme music plays)
Lydia: What´s going on today?
Peter: You know what? Just ignore it. What were you saying?
(Jackie continues, competing with the goofy theme)
Jackie: Um, well I hit bottom, I ended up in a crack house and um, did the music just get louder?
Peter: Yes, I think it did get louder. Excuse me. (Peter walks off camera, Jackie adresses Lydia)
Jackie: Well then…I, I ended up and (goofy theme stops) WOKE UP IN A POOL OF MY OWN URINE! Oh, I´m sorry but the music was loud but then it wasn´t so….
(Peter returns)
Lydia: Thank you, Peter.
Peter: Yeah, no problem. (Peter trips and falls grabbing by accident Jackie´s boobs, she gets up and they look at each other with shame. Kristen Wiig seems to almost crack up)
Jackie: That´s, that´s my—
Peter: Sorry about that.
Jackie: It´s ok… (Jackie sits and another fart noise is heard) This is a terrible chair.
Lydia: You know what? Maybe this might be a good time to quickly check in with Gene and the traffic report. Gene?
(Cut to the entire crew of the show holding a giant banner that says “Happy Birthday Stan”, ballons hanging about)
Crew: HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAN!!!
(Mortified look on the hosts’ faces)
Lydia: I forgot we did that.
Peter: Yeah, uh you know what? We´ll gonna try to get Gene later on on the show and hopefully– (goofy theme music plays and the show logo appears)
Lydia: You´ve got to be kidding me!!! What!? What!?
(Peter throws his index cards on the table defeated)
…..Julia Louis Dreyfus …..Jason Alexander …..Jerry Seinfeld
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen – Julia Louis-Dreyfus!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Thank you! Thank you, thank you! Thank you so much – wow! I just can’t believe that I’m back here on “Saturday Night Live.” You know, some of you may not know this, but I was in the cast from 1982 to 1985. And I am so honored to say that I am the first female cast member to ever come back and host “SNL.”
Um – now, I’m in a show called “The New Adventures of Old Christine” I know, I know, I know – it’s a very catchy title. The truth is, originally, though, the title was just “Old Christine,” but CBS tested it, and they found out that men didn’t like the word “Old.” So they made us put words that meant “do like” in front of the title. Like “New” and “Adventure.” Other titles that tested particularly well with men were: “Football Christine.” “Barbecue Spaceship Christine.” “Coke Off a Whore’s Ass Christine.” And, of course, “CSI: Christine.”
But – the best thing about working on a show is that some people are saying that I broke the so-called Seinfeld Curse. Which is, frankly, a complete load of crap. I mean, we were on one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, and, because we haven’t been able to re-create that, we’re cursed? I mean, come on. Believe me, we are anything but cursed. In fact, I was just talking about it to an old friend, just the other day…
[ dissolve to pre-filmed exterior, coffee shop, with generic “Seinfeld” music fading into the background ]
[ Julia steps out of the coffee shop, as a beared Jason Alexander comes walking down the sidewalk ]
Jason Alexander: [ spots her ] Julia? Hey-ey-ey-ey-hey!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Jason! Oh, my God!
[ they hug ]
Jason Alexander: It’s so funny!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: I know!
Jason Alexander: What are you doing in New York?
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Oh, I have “Saturday Night Live” this week.
Jason Alexander: Oh, my God! I can’t even get tickets to that thing any more! The guy I knew from NBC got fired. Who’d you call?
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Oh, no, no. Actually, I’m hosting it.
Jason Alexander: Oh, hosting?
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Yeah.. yeah..
Jason Alexander: Wow, that’s great..
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Yeah. Well, I mean, it’s because I have a show on CBS now – “The New Adventures of Old Christine.”
Jason Alexander: Yes, yes. Right. I saw it. [ chuckles politely ] It’s cute.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Well, I mean – it’s more funny than it is cute.
Jason Alexander: Yeah. Right. Well, I’m not the demographic!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Yeah! Anyway, people are saying I broke the Seinfeld Curse!
Jason Alexander: Oh.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: [ laughs ] How ridiculous is that?! [ laughs again ] I mean, have you ever felt cursed?
Jason Alexander: Me? No!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: No!
Jason Alexander: Blessed! And I’ve got a lot of time now! A lot of time! And I got a new dog.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Oh. Oh.
Jason Alexander: But, you know – but I do have time, if you want. I could do the guest spot. On your show. You know. It’s stunt casting, the audience loves that stuff.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Yeah, yeah.. I’m not sure.
Jason Alexander: It’s the Curse. Isn’t it? It’s the Seinfeld Curse. You don’t want to touch me. I-I understand. I’m like poison. Ever since “Bob Patterson.” And I thought it was good! And “Listen Up” – it wasn’t my idea —
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Oh, no, no! There’s no curse! Jason, come on! Look, I’ll talk to the people at “SNL” about getting you on the show with me. Okay?
Jason Alexander: You would do that?
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Absolutely.
Jason Alexander: Oh, my God! I-I adore — you are the best! You’re the best! [ gives Julia a great big bear hug ]
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: No, you’re the best.. you’re the best.
Jason Alexander: This is great! We’re gonna have a great time!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: It’ll be fun.
Jason Alexander: I’m going to host “SNL” with you! This is great! [ runs into the street ] The curse is over! The curse is ov —
[ suddenly, a taxi cab barrels down the street, running over Jason ]
[ cut back to Julia standing at Home Base ]
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Oh, well. That’s a shame. Anyway, I know I’m not cursed —
[ suddenly, a light crashes to the floor beside Julia. She looks up to see what caused it to fall ]
[ cut to pre-filmed bit, Jerry Seinfeld high above the rafters holding a pair of wire cutters ]
Jerry Seinfeld: [ with a raspy voice ] Oh, dammit! I missed! It’s like a curse! I’ll get you! Aghhh!! [ shirks away ]
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: We have a great show for you tonight! We have Paul Simon! We have me, the uncursed Julia Louis-Dreyfus! So stick around, we’ll be right back!
