Hillary’s Investment Tips

Businessman #1…..Michael McKean
Businesswoman…..Julia Sweeney
Businessman #2…..Kevin Nealon
Hillary Rodham Clinton…..Jan Hooks

[ open on three businesspeople sitting at a table in restaurant ]

Businessman #1: My broker has me in mutual funds, but with the way the market’s been lately, I’m losing my shirt.

Businessman #2: Tell me about it. I’m taking a beating in the bond market.

Businesswoman: Well, my investment counselor is Hillary Rodham Clinton… and HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON says: [ the entire room leans closer, as she stares at them in shock ]

[ dissolve to Hillary Rodham Clinton seated at desk ]

Hillary Rodham Clinton: Hello! I’m the First Lady of the United States — Hillary Rodham Clinton. You know, in this volatile, topsy-turvy market, investing even as little as a thousand dollars CAN be a frightening propspect. That’s why you want an investment counselor with a proven record of results SO spectacular… that it’s hard to believe they’re legitimate! What would you say if I told you that you could get a 10,000% return on your money in less than a year? [ she smiles ] Impossible? Well, I did just that in 1982.

[ she stands ]

Now, to give you some idea of what a 10,000% return means, to get that return on a Certificate of Deposit at today’s rates, you would have to hold onto it for… three… hundred… years. That’s a looong time!

[ she steps in front of her desk and sits ]

Now, here’s how it works: Simply subscribe to the Hillary Rodham Clinton Investment Newsletter. [ she holds up a copy of the newsletter ] Every issue is jam-packed with my Hillary Rodham Clinton investment tips, like:

Don’t Invest in Land.

Don’t Invest in Land in Arkansas.

And, perhaps the most important tip of all: Don’t Invest in Land in Arkansas with the McDougals.

And, if you call now, you’ll get this free booklet: [ she holds it up ] “Cattle: How to Turn a Thousand Dollars Into a Hundred Thousand Dollars.” [ she winks ] It really works!

Plus, as a special added gift, this history of “Saturday Night Live”, entitled “Live From New York, It’s Saturday Night.” [ she holds up the book ] Oh! I almost forgot: “LIVE, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
