Announcer: It’s time for “Trucker Talk”, the sage words of the country’s last true cowboy: the American trucker.

[ interchange between truckers as they speak into their CB radios ]

Leadfoot Cowboy: Breaker 1-9, for a radio check.

Stink Finger: This is Stink Finger. You’re comin’ in loud and clear! Who am I talkin’ to?

Leadfoot Cowboy: You got the Leadfoot Cowboy on the line. I’m at the mouth of the Cumberland Pass, lookin’ for 1013. Over.

Stink Finger: Can’t help you with your weather. I’m on your back door, at Mile Marker 2-2-9.

Whiskey Dick: Hey there, Cowboy — Whiskey Dick here. I just blew through there about an hour ago, and you got a bad batch of weather comin’ your way.

Leadfoot Cowboy: Hoo! That’s more bad news I didn’t need to hear.

Whiskey Dick: You’re runnin’ late with your load?

Leadfoot Cowboy: No. Ain’t that.

Whiskey Dick (on radio): What’s the matter, friend?

Leadfoot Cowboy: Ahh, it’s just this, uh — [ shakes his head ] It’s this Brad and Jennifer thing.

Whiskey Dick: [ shakes his head ] That’s a big 10-4. I can’t BELIEVE they broke up! I thought they were gonna make it.

Stink Finger: Negative copy! Come on back! Did I hear you right?!

Leadfoot Cowboy: Where you been, partner? It’s true! Brad and Jennifer broke up!

Stink Finger: Nooo!! I knew they was havin’ problems, but I thought they went down to the Carribbean to works things out?! Hell, I even saw ’em kissin’ on the beach!

Leadfoot Cowboy: Turns out… that was just a goodbye kiss, Stink Finger.

Stink Finger: Awww, that really scrapes my ass! They was GREAT together!

Leadfoot Cowboy: Yeah, I thought they had the goods, too.

Whiskey Dick: I’ll tell you one thing: I like them as individuals, as well as a couple.

[ skeeter pops his head out of the bed of Whiskey Dick’s cab ]

Skeeter: Sons of bitches!! If dey can’t make it… what chance do da rest of us have?

Whiskey Dick: My buddy Skeeter’s right — what hope DO the rest of us have?

Stink Finger: Any word on WHY they split up?!

Leadfoot Cowboy: I heard she broke up with him after she saw “Troy”. [ cackles with glee ]

Whiskey Dick: Who the HELL said that?! This isn’t a jokin’ matter! Brad and Jennifer have broken up! For REAL!!

Leadfoot Cowboy: I’m sorry. I giess I’m just tryin’ to mask the pain.

Whiskey Dick: Ah, I shouldn’t have snapped at ya’. We’re all hurtin’. [ holding back the tears ] Oh, damn… I’m gonna cry!

[ Skeeter passes Kleenex to Whiskey Dick ]

Leadfoot Cowboy: I heard Angelina Jolie had something to do with that break-up, too.

Whiskey Dick: Well, don’t that take the cake? I’d like to break that boy in HALF, if he cheated on her!

Leadfoot Cowboy: I don’t get how he could ever get tired of swappin’ spit with that little honey.

Stink Finger: [ excited ] Did you see him in “Thlema & Louise”? He was shirtless and wearin’ a cowboy hat!

[ cut to each of the other three truckers, as they share a look of bewilderment ]

Leadfoot Cowboy: Come back. I was talkin’ about Jennifer.

Stink Finger: [ shrugs ] She’s pretty cute.

Leadfoot Cowboy: It’s gonna be rough for them two. Papparazzi’s gonna be all over ’em.

Whiskey Dick: It was hard enough breakin’ up… let alone doin’ it in front of the whole world.

Stink Finger: I still can’t believe he broke her heart by CHEATIN’!

Leadfoot Cowboy: She broke his heart by not wantin’ KIDS!!

Whiskey Dick: We may never know what happened!

Skeeter: This is a quand-a-ry for tha’ ag-es!

Fast Lane (on radio): I’ve been listening to your conversation… and I just want to say: you don’t even know these people! You’ve never met them!

Stink Finger: Who the HELL said THAT?!

[ cut to Fast Lane sitting in his basement ]

Fast Lane: This is Fast Lane, blasting out from my HOME BASE!

Leadfoot Cowboy: Well, boy! You shouldn’t interrupt TRUCKERS when they’re talkin’ serious TRUCKIN’ business!

Fast Lane: You’re gossiping about people you don’t even KNOW! You’re as bad as the papparazzi!

Whiskey Dick: You got a valid point, Fast Lane. Hmm. [ soft piano music plays ] We complain about how much the press invades these people’s life… yet we still want to know what went wrong in their relationship. Maybe it’s us. We put too much pressure on them. You’ve taught us a lesson. What’s your 20, good buddy?

Fast Lane: I’m at 2211 Dunbar Lane, in Wheeling, West Virginia.

Whiskey Dick: Did you boys get that address?

Leadfoot Cowboy: [ smiling ] That’s a copy!

Stink Finger: [ eagerly ] Roger that!

[ cut to prop footage of three 18-wheelers coming from three different directions to ram into a suburban house and burst it into flames ]

Announcer: Next week… on “Trucker Talk”:

Stink Finger: [ into his CB radio ] Did you hear that Federline won’t let Britney buy no more clothes?

Voice on Radio: Nooooo!!

Stink Finger: No, it’s TRUE!!

[ cut to approaching 18-wheeler, as Title Logo appears ]

Announcer: This has been “Trucker Talk”.

CBS Evening Fraudulent Document Update

Dan Rather…..Darrell Hammond

Announcer: [ over animated titles ] The CBS Evening Fraudulent Document Update, with Dan Rather.

[ dissolve to Dan Rather ]

Dan Rather: Good evening. This is the CBS Evening Fraudulent Document Update, Dan Rather reporting. Earlier this week, CBS News announced the results of an internal investigation, lasting several months, and of the use of possibly forged documents in a September “60 Minutes II” segment concerning President George W. Bush’s Vietnam-era service in the Texas Air National Guard.

Tonight, on the heels of that report, there are some startling new developments. To begin with: although the authenticity of the documents themselves remain in question, it now appears, that my subsequent on-air apology for that segment, purportedly written by me… was itself… almost certainly… a fraudulent document. Or, at the very least, insincere. In the opinion of experts, who have examined the actual script of the apology, it was typed on a Dell computer, using WordPerfect, and, therefore, could not have come from my iBook, which uses Microsoft Word. In addition, the same experts have pointed out that phrases such as “I accept full responsibility”, “I deeply regret the error”… simply do not sound like me.

In addition, statements which I made in the same broadcast, concerning the enormous popularity of the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, may be factually incorrect, as they were based on Nielsen Ratings, which also appear to be fraudulent. It now seems that the CBS News with Dan Rather is not the highest-rated news show on television, and, in fact, regularly finishes behind such programs as “Today in the Ukraine” and “Noticero Telemundo”. While learning this, I don’t mind telling you that I felt as embarrassed as a Vienna Boys Choir soprano at a five-dollar cathouse. And, buddy, that is embarrassed.

And… there’s more. According to investigators, certain details of my official biography, as prepared by the CBS Press Department, now also appear to be inaccurate. I am not, as the press bio states, a native of Texas. Apparently, my birth certificate, upon which I and CBS base this claim, can no longer be considered authentic. We still don’t know for certain, but, at this point, it appears that I was born, raised, and finished high school in Fairlawn, New Jersey, and that my REAL name… is Joel Howard Pincus. If that is the case — AND, at this moment, it appears to be — there is apparently no legitimate reason for me to talk the way I do.

What’s more, despite what my press bio claims, I have never officially been named World’s Greatest Dad. That award, which I thought I won in 1978, now appears to have been a coax, concocted by members of my family. The newspaper that reported the story — The Anytown Daily Bugle — was apparently produced in a joke shop. And the cash prize, which accompanied the award, according to experts, is Monopoly money.

Finally, and on a personal level, most painfully, just hours ago it was made apparent to me that I am not, as I have long believed myself to be, a licensed bikini inspector. As experts have shown, the official bikini inspector license, upon which I base this assertion, is a forgery, and, indeed, no such medical specialty exists. Earlier today, upon first learning this information, I immediately surrendered this document to the proper authorities, and, suffice it to say, the [ makes quotes signs with his fingers ] “friend” who issued me the license, is no longer a friend. [ reveal photo of Andy Rooney ] To the hundreds and hundreds of women I may have wronged, albeit with the best of intentions, I can now only offer my most sincere and heartfelt apologies. I… an deeply… sorry.

For the CBS Evening Fraudulent Document Update… Dan Rather. Good night.

Terrell…..J.B. Smoove
Terrell’s Wife…..Paula Pell
Female Audience Member…..Liz Cackowski

Topher Grace: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, I’m totally psyched to be here at Saturday Night Live. This is kinda like the original ‘That 70s Show’ and I’m just really excited to be hosting. Um, unless this is like just some really elaborate set-up to getting me Punk’d. In which case I wanna say, I knew it, Ashton! Okay? I totally saw it coming so I’m with it, all right? [looks around] No? I’m not getting Punk’d? I’m actually… hosting Saturday Night Live? Okay, awesome. Uh, you know, something I like to do on my show is take questions from the audience so if anyone… Yeah, yes sir? [points to Male Audience Member #1]

Male Audience Member #1: [stands up] Hello Topher, uh, no question, I just want to say that I for one am very excited that you’re hosting tonight instead of Jennifer Garner.

Topher Grace: Oh, yeah, thank you. Um, some of you may know Jennifer Garner was originally supposed to host the show tonight but she couldn’t do it because she hurt her back doing a stunt.

Male Audience Member #1: That’s not what I heard. I read on the internet that Ben Affleck gave her syphilis.

Topher Grace: No, no no no no, no. Uh, that’s- I don’t know where you read that but I’m sure that’s not true.

Male Audience Member #1: I don’t know, read it on the internet.

Topher Grace: Well… not everything you read on the internet is true.

Male Audience Member #1: [laughs] You better hope not, there’s some gross rumors about you on there.

Topher Grace: Where?

Male Audience Member: On my website.

Topher Grace: …Okay, another question? [points to a man in the audience] Yes?

Male Audience Member #2: Yeah, hey buddy, how ya livin’? Hey look, I gotta question, what’s the deal with your name?

Topher Grace: Oh, yeah, uh, I get this a lot. Topher is short for Christopher. Kinda the same way Chris is.

Male Audience Member #2: Yeah, but what? You think you’re too classy to be called Chris?

Topher Grace: No, just- you know, Topher’s just another variation on Chris.

Male Audience Member #2: Uh huh, yeah yeah yeah, like a classier variation?

Topher Grace: Look, it suits me better. Certain names fit certain people. Like, hey, what’s your name?

Male Audience Member #2: My name’s Chris.

Topher Grace: …And… that suits you.

Male Audience Member #2: Okay, so you’re saying that I can name my kid Matthew, and call him Thew. Right? I can do that, I can do that and expect people not to kick the crap out of him?

Topher Grace: I guess so, yeah. Okay, any other questions?

Terrell: Yeah, I have a question. Where is Jennifer Garner at?

Terrell’s Wife: Terrell, come on.

Terrell: Woman..

Topher Grace: Man, I already answered that. Did you get here late or something?

Terrell: Why? You think I showed up late because I’m black? You think I’m on colored people time?

Topher Grace: [offended] Oh my God, no I didn’t, no, I didn’t say anything like that.

Terrell: You are a racist! For your information, I missed the beginning of the speech because I had to go out in the hall and smoke a little weed… and buy myself a grape soda, you racist!

Terrell’s Wife: Terrell, calm down!

Terrell: Woman, bring it on! Come on! [they both leave] Bring it!

Topher Grace: Okay, I am being Punk’d, right? Could I just go out with one normal question? Yes? [points to Female Audience Member]

Female Audience Member: I have a question, uh, I was wondering… could you tell me how the Jets missed two Field Goals in a row?!?!

Topher Grace: You know what? I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, we’re gonna help you take your minds off of it by having a great show. The Killers are here! So stick around and we’re coming right back!

Wilmore: B-but they’re not for us, okay? All we got is Martin Luther King Day!

[ white paramedics exit ]

Ricky: Look. You guys are usually my best paramedics. You know I respect my heritage?

Kendall: I think he said “heritage.”

Ricky: [ flustered ] Well, I-I.. I.. don’t know how that’s disrespectful.

Ricky: Okay, you guys are talking about Rodney King.

Wilmore: He’s right.

Kendall: White people playing basketball.

Wilmore: I’m alright, on Martin Luther King Day.

[ emergency alarm beeps, as Ricky enters with clipboard ]

Ricky: Okay, you guys, I’ve got a call. A guy fell off a ladder and broke his arm. [ Wilmore and Kendall don’t move an inch ] Uh.. Martinez and Logan, I need you on this one.

Logan: [ whining ] But it’s their turn!

Wilmore: Any other day, you would be correct. But not today. Martin Luther King Day! [ toasts his coffee mug with Kendall’s ]

Martinez: They’re right. I shouldn’t have to work on Martin Luther King Day, either.

Ricky: Can I ask why, Martinez?

Martinez: No, you may not. It’s a black thing. You wouldn’t understand. [ holds up his hand for a high-five from Wilmore and Kendall, but doesn’t receive one ] Okay, we’ll go. [ he and Logan stand ] But I’m not working on Cesar Chavez Day.

Ricky: Whatever.

Martinez: ‘Cause that guy.. was a good boxer.. and I’m not working on his birthday. [ he and Logan exit ]

Ricky: Look.. guys.. why’d you even come in today?

Kendall: ‘Cause we’re dedicated professionals.

Wilmore: Plus, we get time-and-a-half off on the holiday!

Kendall: That’s right! [ they laugh ]

Ricky: Okay, do you guys even know anything about this holiday?

Wilmore: I know one thing about Martin Luther King Day – you trying to make us work!

Ricky: Do you know anything about black history? Booker T. Washington? Rosa Parks? Frederick Douglas?

Kendall: Whoa-oa! I know Frederick Douglas! He was a high school in Atlanta! I went there about five years, I know —

[ emergency alarm beeps, as Male Paramedic #2 enters with a note for Ricky ]

Ricky: Okay, uh.. look.. you guys, there’s no one else here. I hate to do this to you on.. Martin Luther King Day – a day which you.. seem to know nothing about. But the catwalk collapsed at a fashion show, and some models have been injured.

White House Press Conference

President Bush….Will Forte
Bill Clinton….Darrell Hammond
George Bush, Sr…..Fred Armisen
Reporter #1….Amy Poehler
Reporter #2….Seth Meyers
Reporter #3….Finesse Mitchell
Reporter #4….Rachel Dratch

[CNN logo and theme]

Voiceover: Bad stuff happens, CNN is there. Coincidence?

Fredricka Whitfield: Good afternoon, I’m Fredricka Whitfield. We have received word that President Bush is about to give another press conference with former President Clinton and his father, former President Bush. We now take you live to the White House.

President George W. Bush: Good afternoon and thanks for comin’ out. And I wanna thank these two distinguished Americans for being here with me today.

Bill Clinton: Well, I’m always happy to be in front of reporters, George.

[cut to reporters laughing]

George Bush, Sr.: Wouldn’t miss it for the world.

President George W. Bush: Already these gentlemen have helped raise millions of dollars in the world wide tsunami relief effort, and I am pleased to announce that their efforts will be expanded to include the victims of the California mud slides, in what we are now calling “the war on weather.” Our hearts go out to all the muslim countries and blue states, that are currently suffering the wrath of God with these crazy Bible times floods. I will now reluctantly take your questions.

[reporters raise their hands and say “Mr. President”]

President George W. Bush: Yes, Margaret?

Reporter #1: Mr. President, what do you say to critics who claim you were slow to respond with aid to the tsunami victims?

President George W. Bush: Well, you know, I’ll tell you, Margaret. I was right out there, you know. I came forward in a matter of days and pledged a couple hundred bucks. You know, some people said that wasn’t enough. But people don’t understand, that was just an initial response. You know, that was before I understood what a tsunami was. I’m from Texas, we don’t have tsunamis. You know, someone tells me a big wave hit, I think a couple hundred bucks oughta cover it.

Bill Clinton: I think what President Bush is saying is that the United States will continue to adjust our contributions to South East Asia as the rebuilding continues, for the need is great and their friendship is important to us.

President George W. Bush: Yeah.

[reporters raise their hands and say “Mr. President”]

Reporter #2: Mr. President, do you consider American tsunami relief efforts an opportunity to restore good will among muslims?

President George W. Bush: I hope so, Tom. You know, I hope these people see what we’re doing and realize that America’s heart is a giant. You know, it’s our- it’s our most gigantic part. And it’s coming to get them.

Bill Clinton: I think what the President is saying, Tom, is that we’re gonna help these people because they need help. And if that improves our image in the world then that is a wonderful bi product.

President George W. Bush: What he said, you know, it’s, uh…

[reporters raise their hands and say “Mr. President”]

Reporter #1: Mr. President, follow-up. Do you have any plans to visit South East Asia in the near future?

President George W. Bush: Margaret, it’s a timing thing. You know, the area is- is real dangerous right now. And, from what I understand, it stinks real bad.

George Bush, Sr.: George–

Bill Clinton: [interrupts] Margaret, I agree with the President that at this time, it would not be appropriate to go.

George Bush, Sr.: We don’t wanna–

Bill Clinton: [interrupts] You know, when I was the President we had terrible floods in the Mississippi River valley, and what I learned is that sometimes it’s more important to let the relief workers do the good work that they do, unincombered.

George Bush, Sr.: And I agree that–

Bill Clinton: [interrupts] But, but I hope and I believe that sometime in the near future we’ll be able to visit Indonesia and Thailand, and see the fruits of our labors and stand together as a world community, proud of what we have done.

President George W. Bush: Dito on that.

[reporters raise their hands and say “Mr. President”]

Reporter #3: Mr. President, what do you make of reports that al Qaeda operatives may pose as relief workers inside Indonesia and try to spark anti-American violence?

President George W. Bush: Well, Lamar, you know… this is the first I’m hearing of it, but the first response is it’s creepy. It gives me the creeps, I don’t like it, you know. But that’s what we’re up against here, a bunch of creeps, you know. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you!

Bill Clinton: Lamar, when I was the President of the United States I put U.S. troops on the ground in Somalia in spite of the extreme risk, because the people there needed our help. And I think that’s what we’ll continue to do because that is our role in the world.

President George W. Bush: It’s our role, Lamar! … in the world. It’s, uh… hard work.

[reporters raise their hands and say “Mr. President”]

Reporter #4: Mr. President, on Wednesday the search for weapons of mass destruction was called off in Iraq. Does your administration finally admit defeat on this issue?

President George W. Bush: Well, Sharon, we’ve been through this like a hundred times, alright. Just because there were no weapons of mass destruction found, doesn’t mean that this administration did not know that they weren’t there or will not continue to be not there in the future. We just don’t know. Heck, we could have been lying about them the whole time and then somebody would have found somthing, and we would have looked like geniuses! But we don’t, that’s not our style. You know, I mean, uh… Bill, you wanna get in on this?

Bill Clinton: Well, first of all let me say – hello, Sharon. It’s nice to see you again. You’ve changed your hair, and I think the color really does light up your face.

[cut to Sharon looking spellbound]

Bill Clinton: But… what I think the President is trying to say is that our reasons for being into Iraq were maniple.

President George W. Bush: Yeah!

Bill Clinton: And now that we’re there we need to focus positive attention on getting our troops home safe.

President George W. Bush: Well, I know that!

Bill Clinton: And in assisting the Iraqi people in determining their own fate through democratic elections.

President George W. Bush: That’s what I’ve been sayin’! I’ve been sayin’ that for months!

George Bush, Sr.: They like it better when he says it. [indicates Clinton]

Bill Clinton: And if I may be so bold, I can think of a couple of other things the President might like to say.

President George W. Bush: Yeah, get on it, be bold.

Bill Clinton: For instance, we welcome Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to the stage and hope he’ll be a force for peace in the Middle East.

President George W. Bush: Yeah, yeah.

Bill Clinton: Also, Monday is Martin Luther King Day.

President George W. Bush: Oh.

[pause]

Bill Clinton: … And we take pride in the amazing progress we have made together as a country.

President George W. Bush: Yeah, yeah, I wanna say that.

Bill Clinton: And finally, to our friends in the Ukraine – live from New York, it’s Saturday Night.

[open on Brian and Pam outside of apartment door]

Pam: So, what do these people do, again?

Brian: Okay, they’re art dealers, and they are no different than you or me. They hired me to make a website for their gallery. [rings doorbell]

[Mr. Schoener opens door]

Mr. Schoener: [with strange accent] Brian! You’re right on time! Come in, please!

[they enter the apartment]

Brian: Hey, thanks for having us over, Mr. Schoener.

Mr. Schoener: [chuckles] It’s Nuni, okay? You must meet my new wife. [calling to her] Darling, they’re here!

Mrs. Schoener: [emerging from apartment interior] Oh! Welcome! Ah, look at you both!

Brian: Hello.

Mr. Schoener: This is my wife, Nuni.

Brian: Oh, that’s funny; you guys both have the same first name: Nuni.

Mr. Schoener: No, no, no, no. I am Nuni; she is Nuni.

Brian: I see. Nuni and Nuni.

Mrs. Schoener: No, no. Nuni; I am Nuni.

Brian: Nuni.

Mrs. Schoener: No, no, Nuni. You must use the back of your tongue, come.

[Mr. and Mrs. Schoener grasp Brian’s cheecks and chin while all three say “Nuni” repeatedly]

Mrs. Schoener: No, no, Nuni is masculine, and Nuni is feminine. Nuni.

Brian: Nuni.

Mrs. Schoener: No, no, Nuni.

Brian: Nuni.

Pam: Honey, I think she’s Nuni, and he’s Nuni.

Mrs. Schoener: Yes, exactly! Anyfoofoo, why don’t we all have a seat please?

[Mrs. Schoener leads them to an area where five pieces are arrayed: a hemispherical table, a white inclined divan, a red sphere, a white pyramid, and a stylistic metal chair that faces away from the other pieces. Mr. Schoener sits on the divan, placing his feet in stirrups. Mrs. Schoener sits on the sphere. Pam sits in the metal chair. Brian looks around confusedly]

Brian: Um, I guess I should just stand?

Mrs. Schoener: No, no, that one is for you.

Brian: What, the pyramid?

Mr. Schoener: Yes!

[Brian begins to attempt to sit on the pyramid]

Mrs. Schoener: No, no! Not on it; against it! That is a leaning post!

Mr. Schoener: [chuckles] You sit on that, and it will ruin your ass!

Brian: [begins to lean against the pyramid and slides to the floor before standing up again] I’m just gonna…

Pam: Um, does this seat swivel so I can face you guys?

Mr. Schoener: [laughs] Why would the chair turn? It’s a 1950s Adler!

Mrs. Schoener: Brian, what is your woman’s name?

Brian: Oh, God, I can’t believe I did that. I’m such an idiot. I’m sorry. This is my girlfriend, Pam.

Mr. Schoener: Bam.

Brian: No, Pam.

Mrs. Schoener: Bar.

Brian: It’s Pam.

Mrs. Schoener: Bor.

Brian: No, Pam. [elongates word]

Mr. Schoener: Bam. Bam. [elongates word] We’re not saying this?

Pam: No, you’re saying “Bam,” and it’s “Pam.” You know, short for Pamela?

Mrs. Schoener: Baronen.

Brian: Pamela.

Mr. Schoener: Harpelo.

Brian: Pamela.

[Mr. and Mrs. Schoener continue to say peculiar trisyllabic things]

Brian: You know what? Perfect! You guys got it. Perfect.

[Tato enters, skipping, with a tray containing small bags]

Mr. Schoener: Oh, here is Tato with the drinks.

Mrs. Schoener: Oh! Thank you, Tato!

Tato: [giggling and covering mouth with hand ] I’m shy. [skips out]

Mr. Schoener: We find his joy exhilirating. [lifts a bag from the tray] To the new website!

Brian: Right, to our new website! [takes a bag] I’m sorry, I don’t…How do you drink out of these bags?

Mr. Schoener: You don’t know Mouthware?

Mrs. Schoener: You poke the bottom, stupid silly.

[Mr. and Mrs. Schoener poke the bottoms of their bags with small sticks and hold the bags up so the streams of fluid pour into their mouths]

Pam: Hey, what’s going on back there?

[Tato enters, skipping, with a tray containing Chinese-style takeout containers. He sets it down and skips out.]

Mrs. Schoener: Mmmmm! Rice paste! Would you like some, Brian?

Brian: Rice paste? No thank you; I’m good.

Mrs. Schoener: Oh, but you must eat it. It’s like an intense workout for your colon. [makes arm gestures as if exercising]

Brian: No, really, I’m good.

Mr. Schoener: Well, Brian, don’t be such a stranger. [he and his wife begin shoving large clumps of rice into their mouths] Tell us a little about yourself.

Brian: Okay, uh, well, I grew up in Ohio.

Mr. Schoener: Stop. Tato, we want to hear Brian’s story to music. It’ll be more theatrical.

[Tato skips in, makes a circular motion with his hand, and skips out. Bizarre synthesized music plays.]

Brian: Okay, uh, I was born in Dayton, and I studied web design at UCLA where I got my bachelors. And then I moved to New York in search of work. Can I just use the bathroom?

[music stops]

Mrs. Schoener: [with mouth full of rice] Yes. It’s right over there behind that glass door.

[Brian looks askance at the bathroom door, which is completely transparent, before entering the bathroom and closing the door. He begins to reach for his zipper before snapping out of his preoccupation]

Brian: Okay, you know what? I forgot: I have a tennis lesson that I have to be at. So we’re going to get going. Come on, Pam.

Pam: Oh, okay.

Brian: Thank you guys so much for the drinks and paste.

Pam: You guys had drinks and paste?

Brian: I’m really looking forward to working with you, Mr. Schoener.

Mr. and Mrs. Schoener: Nuni!

Brian: Right, whatever. Come on, honey. [exits]

Pam: Oh, thank you for your hospitality! [exits]

Mr. Schoener: Goodbye, Bam!

Mrs. Schoener: Bye-bye, Bar!

Mr. Schoener: Oh, they were delightful!

[strange electronic sounds]

Mr. Schoener: Darling, get the telephone, please.

[Mrs. Schoner walks forward and is suddenly enveloped by light]

Mrs. Schoener: Hello? Darling, it’s Gretchen! She wants to know if we’re going to the balloon festival!
