Lorne Michaels: What kind of producer am I?
Rob Schneider: Lorne, you’re a wonderful producer!
Lorne Michaels: Really?
Julia Sweeney: If it makes you feel any better, I forgot my Pat costume.
Lorne Michaels: What are we gonna do? We don’t get to Paris for hours! [ pauses ] Wait a minute.. I’m Lorne Michaels. Stewardess! Tell the pilot to turn this plane around!
