Reggie: You just set me up, and clear the way! Where your hot sauce?
Wife: Oh.. hot sauce? Gosh, I don’t know.. I think we have some salsa in the refridgerator..
[ music comes to an abrupt halt ]

[ opens her purse to reveal the various hot sauce accessories neatly organized ] Each compartment is insulted and calibrated to keep your sauces organized and fresh. It ently carries them from wherever you are, to wherever you need to go.

Bernie Mac: Hello! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey hey, welcome, everybody! And I hope everybody here to have a good time, because I am here to have a blast! You know? Bewcause the whole country’s tense! It’s a tense time. Everybody in the country’s on high alert. They nervous and edgy, you know? They say look out for suspicious behavior. I need to know what the hell is suspicious behavior! You know? I keep on eye on every damn body! Iraq’s army playin’ like they the U.S. Army, givin’ up and killin’ us and holdin’ us hostage and all that kinda stuff!
So I’m watchin’ everybody! I was on an elevator with an old white lady. Just her and I! She watchin’ me, I’m watchin’ her! Then she asked me a stupid-ass question: “Whatchoo lookin’ at?” I said, “What the hell you think I’m lookin’ at?! I’m lookin’ you! You could be.. Saddam’s grandma, I don’t know..”
It’s scary times, I’m tellin’ you! The country got everybody doing stupid things. They told you to buy gas masks.. duct tape.. gloves.. plastic.. The whole doggone country look like a episode of “Trading Spaces”. And you better use your own doggone minds, see? Grown folks stupid, too. You know, you listen to hizzit about “Get some duct tape!” Now, you go get some damn duct tape, if you want to.. and tape your whole house up.. and then wonder why you can’t breathe. You smotherin’ your ass to death!
Right now, you don’t know nobody! It ain’t like it was back in the day! See, like, people know me now – but I don’t know them. This is a beautiful thing, and I’m a good person – I’m a people person. When you come up to me – back up in the day – I’ll shake your hand and talk to you. I’m not doing that today! You can call, be hollarin’ my name, pullin’ on me – “Hey, Bernie!” Slappin’ me, all that stuff. I shot three people last week! I told ’em I was sorry, but I don’t know you. It could be one of those suicide bombers – you ain’t gonna take me with you! You gonna take yourself – I’m takin’ you out!
You gotta protect yourself! Ladies and gentlemen, I’m on ten planes a week. Okay? That’s kinda heavy. You can’t carry no guns.. you can’t carry no knife. But they didn’t say nothing about carrying no hammer! So, if you see me on a plane.. [ singing ] “I got a hammer..” I got a hammer! So I’m gonna tell you how you playin’ when you see me. “Oh, that’s Bernie Mac!” I’m gonna tell you how you ride the plane when you see me. You see me? I want you to sit up.. eat your food.. watch your movie.. take a nap.. leave your shoes alone! I don’t know you, I don’t know what you doin’ down there. But I swear – if you bend down, you ain’t gonna bend back up until you land!
We got a great show for y’all this evening! We got Good Charlotte.. I’m the Mac-Man.. thank you for “Saturday Night Live”!

Jerry: [ still confused about the status of his hands ] Should I put ’em on my waist..? Or should I put ’em in my pockets, or something..? Does this look weird?
Red: Besides! There is no medical evidence.. that proves smoking is bad for you!
Hedda: There’s no medical evidence..
Red: The only people that say that smokin’ is bad for you are scientists!
Hedda: Right.
Red: And doctors and tobacco companies! Who can you trust?!
Hedda: Nobody.
Jerry: [ still very confused about his hands’ current function ] Sh-should I clap? [ claps ] I mean.. wh-wh-what if I put ’em on my leg..? Should I put ’em in my mouth, maybe, uh..

Woody Harrelson…..Jimmy Fallon Museum Curator…..Darrell Hammond Moe…..Chris Parnell Larry…..Chris Kattan Curly…..Jeff Richards Rib-Eye…..Bernie Mac
Announcer: We now return to The Three Stooges’ 75th anniversary, on NBC.
[ dissolve to Woody Harrelson in studio ]
Woody Harrelson: Hi. I’m Woody Harrelson. And that can only mean one thing – you guessed it.. a prime-time Three Stooges tribute. If you’re like me, you love The Three Stooges – mostly because you’re stoned all the time. Moe, Larry & Curly are The Three Stooges we know best; but, over the years, the Stooges went through a lot of line-up changes, with Shemp being only the first among many replacements for Curly. One of the most interesting, and little-known, chapters in the Stooges’ existence came during a brief period when the Three Stooges becoem a foursome, with the addition of a gifted physical comedian, dance hall piano player, and former cathouse bouncer named.. Rib-Eye Wilkins. This new line-up made its debut on the Columbia Studios two-reeler “Now Museum, Now You Don’t”.
[ Three Stooges music pots up, as we dissolve to the title card ]
[ dissolve to black-and-white reel of the film short, set in a museum, as the Museum Curator looks about the area ]
Museum Curator: Ohhh.. pip and tosh! Where are those four dinosaur bone cleaners I requested? They were supposed to be here over an hour ago!
[ suddenly, the Four Stooges poke their heads out from behind a wall – Rib-Eye on top, then Curly, Moe and Larry in downward succession; the camera pans upward on them ]
Larry: Hellooooo!
Moe: Hellooooo!
Curly: Hellooooo!
Rib-Eye: Hello.
[ the Stooges fumble about trying to stand together in a line ]
Museum Curator: Gentlemen! Don’t you realize how late you are!
Moe: Hey, just take it easy there! Don’t get your Bunson burner in a bunch, spinach chin!
Museum Curator: Spinach chin..?? Why, I..
Moe: Listen! you just sohw us these bones of yours, and we’ll get ’em cleaned up in a jiffy!
Museum Curator: Well.. you had better! And please remember these bones are very valuable, and very fragile! So, please.. don’t let anything Stoogish occurrrr.
Moe & Larry: Hmmm…
Curly: Soitenly!
Rib-Eye: Alright.. I guess that we.. need to spread out, then.
Moe: Alright! You heard that professor, fellas! We need to get to work on this thing, you bunch of ignoramuses!
Curly: Who you callin’ an ignoramus, you ignoramus?
Moe: Why, I oughtta..
[ Moe begins to hit Curly with wild sound effects, Curly hits back, and eventually Moe smacks one to Larry just the same ]
Larry: Hey, what’dja hit me for? I didn’t do anything!
Moe: No! But you was about to!
Rib-Eye: [ breaking up the fight ] Hey, hey, hey, oh.. come on now, chowderhead.. we got a job to do. Let’s cut all the monkey business and get to work, chop-chop.
Moe: Chop-chop, eh? I’ll chop you, you wise guy! [ slaps Rib-Eye across the face, laughs ]
Rib-Eye: Aw, hell no! I know you just didn’t do that, man, I know you just didn’t do that!
Moe: But, I, uh..
Rib-Eye: Huh?
Moe: I mean..
Rib-Eye: Huh? Huh? What did you say to me? Huh? What did you say to me.. soup-bowl haircut?
Moe: Uh.. y-y-y-y-you heard me, you nincompoop! [ meekly ] Come on, man, this is a.. a bit. It’s supposed to be funny..
Rib-Eye: Ohhh, it’s funny now? Slappin’ a black man around on film, it’s funny, huh?
Moe: Oh, no! I..
Rib-Eye: I’ll show you funny! [ begins to beat the hell out of Moe ] Huh?! You think I’m funny?! Huh! Huh!
Larry: Hey, Rib-Eye.. it’s just a slap!
Rib-Eye: [ stops pounding on Moe ] Just a slap, right? I’m sick of Moe! I’m sick of you, too! [ claps Larry ] That’s just a slap? You slap women! You don’t slap women?!
Curly: Oh, God! Take it easy! You’re kickin’ his brains all over your foot, you crazy bastard! [ stops himself short ]
Rib-Eye: What’d you say to me?!
Curly: Oh, God! Whoo-whoo!
[ dissolve to end title card, over closing theme music ]
[ dissolve back to Woody Harrelson, who opens his mouth allowing pot smoke to escape. He coughs ]
Woody Harrelson: After this.. one film, the four performers went their separate ways. Rib-Eye, back to the dance halls and juke joints he loved so well; and The Three Stooges, to 18 months of.. painful physical and speech therapy. Stick around. When we come back, we’ll lookat even more unpopular Three Stooges pornos. I’m gonna have to roll another one for that..

Which is to say that it has reached its inevitable.. conclusion. The next sketch: funny, enlightening, entertaining.. it should be starting any minute now. But, uh.. as of yet, we don’t seem to be quite ready. I, uh.. apologize for the delay. It’s 12:26 Eastern Standard Time, or 12:26 Studio 8-H.. Daylight Time.
