Announcer: And now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Harry Connick, Jr.!
[ Harry Connick, Jr. enters stage, sits at piano ]
Harry Connick, Jr.: Thanks a lot. I want to thank you all for coming here tonight. Thank you. You know, the past couple years I’ve done a little acting, did some soundtracks.. but tonight I want to get back to my roots – the songs that made Frank Sinatra famous. This music means a lot to me, and I hope it means a lot to you.
[ plays piano, sings ]
“My.. funny.. valentine..
Sweet.. comic.. valentine..”
[ laser pointer dot bounces across Harry’s face ]
“You make me smiiiiiile with my heart..
Your look is.. laughable..
Un..photo..graphable..”
[ stopss abruptly ]
Hey! There’s a laser dot on me! Come on, knock it off! Whoever’s doing that, knock it off, alright? Please! [ laser dot disappears ] Thank you! I guess some people just like to ruin a good time for everyone. Let’s have some fun.
[ begins playing again ]
[ laser pointer dot bounces around Harry’s nose ]“My.. funny.. valentine..”
“Sweet.. comic.. valentine..
You make me-“
[ swats laser dot away ]
Alright! Seriously! Come on, stop it, alright! no one’s laughing but you, alright! Now, come on! Does anyone know who’s doing this?! Is there any security here?! Can we find out who’s doing that, please!

Jokers: [ laughing with pride ]
[ cut back to Harry Connick, Jr. fuming on stage ]
Harry Connick, Jr.: I mean, come on! I know that laser pointers are a lot of fun – I have one myself. But, come on, just be cool, alright! [ laser dot finally disappears ] Thank you! [ sits at piano again ] Let’s have some fun.
[ singing ]
“My.. funny.. va-“
[ jumps to his feet ]
Come on, knock it off, alright! Is this what you want?! This is a beautiful song!
[ laser dot bounces along Harry’s crotch ]
Alright, yeah, yeah, that’s funny, right?! That’s what funny to you, right?! This is real creative! This is what you do with your time, right?!
[ two laser dots give Harry a set of nipples ]
Aw, brilliant! Brilliant! I’ve got nipples, that’s great! You could hear me play the music your parents fell in love to, but, instead, I got nipples! Are you done now, man?! Come on! [ laser dots disappear ] Are you finished?! Is that it?! Have you had your fun?!
[ cut back to the jokers laughing in the audience ]
Joker #1: [ laughing ] Yo, Bro, we should stop! He’s starting to get really mad!
Joker #2: Oh, hold on, man! I want to give him a dot on his forehead, make him look like the chick from No Doubt!
Joker #1: Yeah! Yeah, do that!
[ cut back to Harry at the piano ]
Harry Connick, Jr.: Le-let’s have some fun.
“My.. funny.. valentine..”[ laser dot bounces on Harry’s forehead, making him look like the chick from No Doubt ]
“Sweet.. com-“

Joker #2: Okay, man, it still makes me laugh!
Joker #1: Ooh, I got one! I’m gonna make him look like Cindy Crawford!

Harry Connick, Jr.: Th-his is screwed-up, man, alright! This is screwed up, man, alright! This is screwed-up, I’m sick of this! You’re taking all the fun out of it! I’m finished!
