Goodnights

…..Bruce Willis

[ return from commercial to bumper of Bruce Willis with his hand resting on his head ]

[ dissolve to Bruce standing at Home Base, flanked on both sides by Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman still dressed like Phil Donahue; Neil Young is nowhere in sight ]

Bruce Willis: Uh.. [ laughs, as Neil Young strolls across the back of the crowd ] Thank you very much, we had, uh, a lot of fun tonight doing this show. I want to thank my, uh.. [ looking around for him ] musical guest – Neil Young. how about it! [ everyone cheers and claps, as Neil Young moves a little bit forward from the rear of the crowd, throws up his arms, smiles, and accepts various high-fives ] Way to go, Neil!

[ Jon Lovitz mumbles something indistinct over the applause ]

Bruce Willis: If any of you are driving home tonight.. please take the car. [ Phil Hartman laughs ] I had a good time. Goodbye. Good night. We’ll see you soon. Adios!

[ the credits roll, as everyone hugs one another. Phil Hartman wanders from castmember to castmember, holding his fisted hand out like a microphone and pretends to interview each of them in the style of Phil Donahue. ]
