Natalie Merchant performs “Wonder”

…..David Schwimmer
…..Natalie Merchant

David Schwimmer: Ladies and gentlemen – Natalie Merchant.

Natalie Merchant: [ singing ]
“Doctors have come from distant cities just to see me
Stand over my bed, disbelieving what they’re seeing
They say I must be one if the wonder’s of God’s own creation
And as far as they see they can offer no explanation.

Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions
They reach into my head to steal the glory, of my story
They say I must be one if the wonder’s of God’s own creation
And as far as they see they can offer no explanation.

Oo-oo-ooh, I believe, that Fate smiles down on Destiny,
Laughed as she came to my cradle
“Know this child will be able.”
Laughed as my body, she lifted,
“Know this child will be gifted, with love, with patience,
and with faith, she’ll make her way, she’ll make her way.”

People see me, I’m a challange to your balance,
And I’m, I’m over your heads, how I confound you, and astound you
To know I must be one if the wonder’s of God’s own creation
And as far as you see you can offer no explanation.

Oo-oo-ooh, I believe, that Fate smiles down on Destiny,
Laughed as she came to my cradle
“Know this child will be able”
Laughed as she came to my mother
“Know this child will not suffer”
Laughed as my body, she lifted,
“Know this child will be gifted, with love, with patience,
and with faith, she’ll make her way, she’ll make her way
Oh, she’ll make her way.”

David Schwimmer’s Monologue

…..Jennifer Aniston
…..Gary Coleman
…..Barry Williams
…..Jimmy Walker

Don Pardo: Ladies and gentlemen – David Schwimmer!

David Schwimmer: Thank you. I’m not just saying that, but, uh.. it really is – it really is g to be here. In fact, when I was a kid growing up, I used to watch “Saturday Night Live” and wondered what it would feel like, you know, just to walk out on this stage knowing that millions of people were watching you. And, uh.. I have to say, now that I’m here – it’s a little scary. And a little lonely.

[ the house begins to play the theme from “Friends” on the piano ]

David Schwimmer: It’s times like these your kind of wish you had a friend around. “It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear / When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.”

[ suddunly, a familiar figure rises from the front row of the audience ]

Lisa Kudrow: I’ll be there for you, David.

David Schwimmer: “When the rain starts to pour,” Lisa?

[ Jennifer Aniston rises from her seat beside Lisa ]

Jennifer Aniston: We’ll be there for you, David.

David Schwimmer: “Like you’ve been there before,” Jen? [ happily ] Come on up here, you guys!

[ Lisa and Jennifer join David at Home Base, as he wraps hos arms around the two of them and hugs ]

David Schwimmer: Well, anyway —

[ suddenly, Gary Coleman appears from Stage Left ]

Gary Coleman: “Now, the world don’t move to the beat of just one drum / What might be right for you, may not be right for some / It takes Diff’rent Strokes / It takes, Diff’rent Strokes to move the world.”

David Schwimmer: That’s right, Gary —

[ another surprise, as Barry Williams steps out from within the band area ]

Barry Willians: “Here’s a story, of a lovely lady / Who was bringing up three very lovely girls / All of them had hair of gold like their mother / The youngest one in curls.”

David Schwimmer: So, anyway — well, uh.. we’ve got a great, great show for you tonight —

[ the biggest surprise of all, as Jimmy Walker bursts from behind the host entrance door ]

Jimmy Walker: “Good Times / Any time you meet a payment!”

[ a huge church choir follows him onto the stage, singing the theme song in full ]

Choir: “Good Times / Any time you meet a payment / Good Times / Any time you need a friend / Good Times / Any time you’re out from under / Not getting hassled, not getting hustled / Keepin’ your head above water / Making a wave when you can.”

David Schwimmer: “Temporary lay offs.”

All: “Good Times.”

Gary Coleman: “Easy credit rip offs.”

All: “Good Times / Scratchin’ and surviving / Good Times / Hangin in a chow line / Good Times / Ain’t we lucky we got ‘em / Good Times!”

David Schwimmer: Well, uh.. that’s what friends are for! We’ve got a great show! Natalie Merchant is here tonight, so stick around, we’ll be right back!

Grayson Moorhead Securities II

Arthur Grayson…..Jim Downey

Narrator: To Arthur Grayson, there was no substitute for knowingthe market.

Arthur Grayson: Clients will rely on us for market expertise. If the day ever comes when a client knows more about the market than we do, copy him. Do what he does.

[ SUPER: “Writing Brokers’ Names on Slips of Paper” ]

Once a year, we will write each broker’s name on a slip of paper and then place the slips in a hat. Each broker will then draw a slip of paper from the hat. He will buy a gift for the broker whose name he has drawn. He will be that broker’s “Secret Santa.”

[ SUPER: “Drawing Again” ]

If a broker draws his own name from the hat, he will draw again.

[ SUPER: “Taking Special Care” ]

We must take special care of the list with each client’s name and the amount of money he has invested. If we were to lose that list, we would be ruined.

[ SUPER: “If My Wife Calls” ]

If my wife calls while I’m in shagging my secretary, tell her I’m at a board meeting. That way I’ll be able to continue shagging my secretary without my wife knowing about it.

[ SUPER: “the tradition continues…” ]

If my wife were to find out about me and my secretary, that would be bad. As bad as losing the list.

Grayson Moorhead Securities I

Arthur Grayson…..Jim Downey

[ SUPER: “Grayson Moorhead Securities. A Tradition of Excellence.” ]

Narrator: On Wall Street, trendy investment fads have come and gone over the years, but not at Grayson Moorhead, where we’ve always stuck to the basic principles set forth by Arthur Grayson nearly 80 years ago.

Arthur Grayson: Our clients must be our first priority.

[ SUPER: “The Tradition Endures” ]

We will take our client’s money and invest it. Part of the profit we will keep for ourselves; the rest we will give to the client.

[ SUPER: “A Tradition of Security” ]

We will make a list of our clients, and how much money each of them has given us to invest. We will keep this list in a safe place. If we have time, we will make a copy of the list, in case something happens to the first list.

[ SUPER: “A Tradition of Listening” ]

Listen to your client. It’s the only way to know what he’s saying.

[ SUPER: “A Tradition of Trust” ]

If a client is talking, and you’re not listening, and he notices, and he accuses you of not listening, just say, “Sure, I’ve been listening, I’ve heard every word you’ve said.” If he then says, “Alright, tell me what I’ve been talking about.” Just say, “You’ve been talking about your investments. Which stocks to buy and so on.” That way the client will think you’ve been listening, even though you haven’t.

[ SUPER: “A Tradition of Integrity” ]

We will invest only in white-owned businesses.

Narrator: Not all of Arthur Grayson’s principles are followed today, but at Grayson Moorhead we still believe in the basics.

Arthur Grayson: Don’t leave the client’s money lying around. Keep it in a safe place. For example: where we keep the list.

Fuzzy Memories

Narrator…..Jack Handey

[ open on “Fuzzy Memories” book sitting before a roaring fire ]

Announcer: Fuzzy Memories —

[ hand reaches it to open the book to the first page, labled “by Jack Haney” ]

— by Jack Handey.

[ hand turns the page to an animated visual of the following sequence: Mom and Dad addressing the kids, and the holiday meal that followed ]

Narrator: I think the best Thanksgiving we ever had was one when we didn’t even have a turkey. Mom and Dad sat us kids down, and explained that business hadn’t been good at Dad’s store. So we couldn’t afford a turkey. We had vegetables and bread and pie, and it was just fine.

[ dissolve to the young Jack entering his parents’ bedroom ]

Later, I went into Mom and Dad’s bedroom to thank them, and I caught them eating a little turkey. I guess that wasn’t really the best Thanksgiving.

[ return to the first page, as the hand closes the book and returns to the cover ]

Rude Passenger: [ confused ] I’m sorry?

Second Rude Passenger: [ more confused ] Sorry?

Normal Guy: Well, there’s a whole elevator.. it’s just, you know.. most people stick to one side of the elevator or the other!

Second Rude Passenger: Ohhhh, I’m sorry.. you know, I was looking for the Elevator Instructions when I came in here. Where are they posted? I must have missed them.

Rude Passenger: Me, too. Thank God Mr. Elevator Monitor is here to teach us how to stand inside this thing.

Normal Guy: Look, I’m just saying that’s what people do, you know?

[ elevator stops at Rude Passengers’ floor ]

Second Rude Passenger: Well, my floor. You can have your precious elevator back! [ exits ]

Rude Passenger: Yeah, I’d better get out before he calls theElevator Police! [ exits ]

[ Normal Guy is flabbergasted by the episode that just occurred, but remains in the elevator. At the next stop, two gay guys enter and immediately hover into his personal space ]

Normal Guy: [ dumbfounded ] Okay, why? Why? What’s going on here?

First Gay Guy: [ confused ] What.

Normal Guy: Well, I know I don’t own the elevator.. but, you know, it’s a big elevator, right?

First Gay Guy: Right.

Normal Guy: I mean, I’ve seen them bring up, like, huge desks in here. You know, there’s a lot of room over there and over there and over there.. so, why? Why are you here? Why are you on top of me?! You’re standing on top of me, why?

First Gay Guy: We’re gay.

Normal Guy: Hey? Are you okay?

Seemingly Normal Guy: Yeah, I am.. Hey, you’re not one of themgay elevator guys, are you? You just ditched some of your buddies, there!

Normal Guy: No! No!

Seemingly Normal Guy: Yeah, yeah! Yeah, right.

[ elevator stops at next floor, as two more guys enter and immediately press their body against the back wall just like the Seemingly Normal Guy. Seeing no other recourse but to join the statud quo, the Normal Guy turns around and also faces the wall. At the next stop, all three wall-facing guys exit the elevator, leaving the Normal Guy in that awkward position as a Cute Woman enters ]

Cute Woman: [ concerned by this odd display ] Excuse me?

Normal Guy: Yeah?

Cute Woman: Are you okay?

Normal Guy: What?

Cute Woman: Are you okay?

Cute Woman: [ smiles ] Um.. could you help me with something?

Normal Guy: Oh, sure. [ Cute Woman jumps into his arms, lockingherself into a more comfortable position, but making him feeling awkward once more ] So, uh.. oh, you’re in Sales, right?

Cute Woman: Uh, no, I’m not.

[ elevator stops at her floor, so she climbs down from Normal Guy’s arms and exits. At that moment, two guys doing handstands hobble into the elevator ]

Voice of Handstand Man: 32, please?

Normal Guy: [ cooperative, despite the situation ] 32? Sure.[ presses the button ]

[ as the elevator doors close, the two guys doing handstands hobble into the Normal Guy’s personal space and crowd him, as scene zooms out ]
