Announcer: From Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center, it’s “Weekend Update,” with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler!

[applause]

Amy Poehler: Hello, I’m Amy Poehler.

Tina Fey: I’m Tina Fey, and here are tonight’s top stories:

This week, in an attempt to appeal to pro-gun voters in the battleground state of Ohio, John Kerry and some friends walked into the woods to retrieve four geese that had been strangled and left for them by Democratic operatives.

Kerry appeared close with his fellow hunters, but as soon as they left, he accused them of raping the geese and setting fire to geese villages.

Amy?

Amy Poehler: Kerry then tried to win over Cuban voters in Florida by shooting Fidel Castro.

Dick Cheney says that because of his history with heart disease, he has received a flu shot, even though they are in short supply. Cheney added, “But even if I was healthy I woulda gotten one, so suck it.”

Tina Fey: Election offices across Florida opened last Monday to give black voters the option of being turned away early. [applause]

This y-[continued applause] This year’s winner of Family Circlemagazine’s Presidential Cookie Bake-off was Laura Bush’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk cookies, which beat Teresa Heinz Kerry’s Portuguese Ketchup Rhinocerous bars.

That lady’s weird.

Amy Poehler: Looks gross!

Martha Stewart reportedly spent her first week in prison playing Scrabble and charming her fellow prisoners. And tunneling. Furiously tunneling!

Tina Fey: Well, the Red Sox beat the Yankees this week, and adv- [cheers] Yes, advanced to the World Series for the first time since 1986, they’re already up one game in the World Series- [more cheers] which raises the question: is the curse of the Bambino over?

[moaning heard in the distance]

What is that?

Amy Poehler: What is that?

Tina Fey: It sounds like scary ghost, or someth-

Amy Poehler: Yes! I’m scared, Tina, it’s a terrifying sound!

Tina Fey: I don’t like it!

[more moaning. Pan to the ghost of Babe Ruth, applause]

Ghost of Babe Ruth: What are you talkin’ about, lady? I cursed the hell outa them good-for-nothin’ Red Sox! What about that game, that 18- that 19-8 game? Yeah, I tried to mess up Schilling’s ankle, blood come out of his socket an’ everything. Hey, you know what? I also gave Johnny Damon that ladies haircut!

Tina Fey: Alright, but that was the first two games. What about Game Four? Where were you in Game Four?

Ghost of Babe Ruth: Well, you know what, Game Four looked like the game was in the bag, so you know, I left. Uh, me, Mickey Mantle and Rodney Dangerfield, we went and got a few beers. And then I entered a ghost hotdog-eating contest. And I, uh, passed out.

Amy Poehler: You passed out for Game Four?

Ghost of Babe Ruth: Game Four…Five, Six, and Seven.

Amy Poehler: So you only had a few beers, is that what you’re saying?

Ghost of Babe Ruth: And some gasoline.

Tina Fey: Aw, you drank gasoline??

Ghost of Babe Ruth: Yeah, and some horse tranquilizers. Listen–

Tina Fey: Aw, Babe!

Ghost of Babe Ruth: That’s nothing new. One time I passed out for the whole season. And I still hit forty homers! [holds bat in front of him, but realizes he’s holding it the wrong way] Like this, I was left-handed.

[more moaning; the ghost of Babe Ruth’s hooker enters]

Amy Poehler: Oh, another ghost!

Ghost of Babe Ruth: This is, uh, Lulu. She’s, uh, my ghost hooker.

Amy Poehler: Oh my gosh.

Ghost of Lulu: Bambino! Whooo! I’m waiting out for you in the ghost car!

Tina Fey: This is your ghost hooker? So you’re telling me you were at a ghost hotdog-eating contest–

Ghost of Babe Ruth: Right.

Tina Fey: With Rodney Dangerfield’s ghost, and a ghost hooker, when you should’ve been cursing the Red Sox!

Ghost of Lulu: Did you know Babe can eat over a thousand of those hotdogs in one sitting? [holds her mouth open in astonishment]

Ghost of Babe Ruth: This is- this little sweet gal here, she’s the sweetest hooker in heaven! And you know what, in heaven, all theladies–[cracks up] in my heaven, are hookers, so I mean, that’s really sayin’ something.

Ghost of Lulu: That’s my guy!

Tina Fey: The ghost of Babe Ruth and the ghost of Babe Ruth’s hooker, everyone! [applause] Oooooh!

Amy Poehler: First Lady Laura Bush said Tuesday that if her husband is elected to a second term, she would like to help juvenile delinquents with substance abuse problems. When asked how she would do that, Mrs. Bush replied, “Just as I always have. By marrying them and bearing their children.”

Tina Fey: A German man is patenting a device which he claims canstraighten bananas, making them easier to eat, ship, and store. Because, how many times has this happened to you? [points to Amy]

Amy Poehler: [fumbling with two bananas] Oh, these bananas are so hard to eat!

[frustrated, Amy drops the bananas. She and Tina shrug their shoulders. Cheers and applause. Both try handling the bananas again]

Tina Fey: Whoa!

Amy Poehler: [placing one banana near her ear, like a telephone] Hello?

Because of the controversy surrounding accusations that he harrassed a former colleague, Bill O’Reilly has cancelled a number of TV interviews intended to promote his new children’s book, Curious Engorged.

Tina Fey: Andrea Mackris, the woman suing O’Reilly for sexual harassment in the form of unwanted phone sex, is alledgedly seeking sixty million dollars in damages, which sounds like a lot until you realize it breaks down to about $2.99 a minute.

Several major American Muslim groups gave their endorsement to John Kerry this week. In response, Kerry was like, “Aw, no, really, thanks, I’m good. Thanks, though. Thank you.”

Amy Poehler: John Kerry said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine that he would end the color-coded Terror Alert system, and find a more thoughtful way of alerting the American people. [picture of ketchup bottles of various colors, with labels from “Low” to “High”]

Tina Fey: I feel bad, ’cause my favorite flavor is “high.”

Helmut Simon, who thirteen years ago found the 5000-year-old remains of a prehistoric man frozen in the ice of an Alpine glacier, has himself disappeared in the snow-covered Alps. Helmut, if you can hear me, don’t give up. Help is on the way, in 5000 years.

Amy Poehler: F/X announced Thursday that actress Glenn Close will join the cast of “The Sheild.”

Tina Fey: Oh god, that’s so great! “The Shield” is so good!

Amy Poehler: I know!

Tina Fey: Do you ever watch it?

Amy Poehler: No.

Tina Fey: Me neither. [both pause for a moment]

Amy Poehler: Last week, a pet turtle in China, where turtles are a symbol of longevity, climbed through an apartment window, fell ten stories onto the roof of a taxi, and survived. The turtle claims it was an accident, but then why did he leave a note? [picture of an unintelligible scribbled note] Turtle writing!

Tina Fey: According to a new study, almost half of all New York City high school students have lost their virginity.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler: You’re welcome.

Tina Fey: Hi Jimmy!

Amy Poehler: For “Weekend Update,” I’m Amy Poehler!

Tina Fey: I’m Tina Fey! Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

NBC Special Report

Tom Brokaw…..Chris Parnell
Osama Bin Laden…..Seth Myers
Voice of Translator…..Jim Downey

[ NBC Special Report graphic ]

Announcer: This is an NBC Special Report. Here’s Tom Brokaw.

[ Dissolve to Tom Brokaw ]

Tom Brokaw: Good evening. The much-anticipated October surprise of this 2004 election may finally have materialized. Yesterday, a new videotape of Osama Bin Laden, in which the al-Qaeda leader continues his attacks on the United States and even addresses the upcoming Presidential election, appeared on Arab televison. Here now, in its unedited form and with a translation provided by the State Department, is that tape.

[ Dissolve to Osama Bin Laden. On the upper left hand corner of the screen is a caption that reads “Voice of translator”. At the bottom of the screen appears translated text.]

Voice of translator: “Hello. I am Osama Bin Laden. And Allah be praised, this is my message to the American people. In a few days, you will hold your election to choose between the ignorant cowboy Bush and the gigolo Kerry. Over the last several months, I have been approached repeatedly by representatives of both candidates, who would ask me if I would please endorse their opponents. But I have refused to do this. First, because frankly, I find this request sort of insulting, which it really is, if you think about it. Especially coming from Bush, who has not shown the least bit of interest in me since he invaded Iraq. And also, because to me, voting is a private matter, and one which I take very seriously.

For a time, I feared that I would not be eligible to vote in this election. But recently, praise Allah, I was tracked down by two volunteers from the Kerry campaign. They signed me up, and apparently, I am now registered in Cincinnati. Since then, I’ve tried hard to follow the campaign, and to study both the candidates, and the issues. This has often been frustrating, as I am constantly moving from cave to cave here in the mountains of Northwest Pakistan, and thus have very little contact with the outside world. The only person I see regularlyis Michael Moore. And frankly, I am not sure I can believe half of what he tells me.

So, I am not as well-informed a voter as I would like. But, that having been said, here are my thoughts on the election so far. First of all, I must say, I have been very disappointed with the negative tone of the campaign. It would be nice if, just once, the candidates would stop attacking each other, and instead talk about the issues.

What issues? Well, for one thing, living as I do, like a hunted animal, moving from one cave to another, never staying two nights in the same place, and all that time, needing regular dialysis for a kidney ailment, has really brought home to me the importance of quality health care. Kerry at least has a health care plan, but my question is, “how is he going to pay for it?”, especially after my organization acheives its goal of destroying the US economy.

Next, there’s the issue of Social Security. The baby boomer generation is about to retire, and what happens then? But unfortunately, neither candidate seems willing to talk about Social Security. That, and the use of Christian and Muslim babies’ blood by the Jews in their rituals, are the two great un-discussed issues of this election.

Then there’s the issue of stem-cell research. Here, I admit, I don’t know quite what to think. But it’s important to make an informed decision, because, after all, we are talking about human life here.

I guess I’d like to get information on the subject, which is not easy, since again, I live in a cave. On the whole, if you ask my opinion, I don’t see much difference between the two candidates, although, and I will probably get in trouble for saying this, I cannot stand Teresa Heinz Kerry. She is just awful. Just awful. Our religion forbids us to strike a woman although, I admit, I do it all the time, and I know I shouldn’t. But if she were my wife, as Allah is my witness, I would not stop beating her.

So, where does that leave me? Like many of you, undecided, and wondering how, in a country as large as America, this is the choice we were left with. But to be fair, the wicked people of America have no one to blame but themselves. You invade our countries and steal our resources. You are indifferent to our poverty and our customs. You export your own perverted culture, like your degrading reality shows, and, far worse, your lip-synching pop stars. What a disgrace! It’s one thing for a J.Lo to use a guide track, the woman does full choreography. But a girl who doesn’t even dance? On a Live”…broadcast? Where have your standards gone? Then she blames acid reflux. I’m sorry. That is just evil.

So, whomever you elect, consider your lost values. That is the biggerpicture–to restore the meaning of the words, “Land of the Free”, “All Men Are Created Equal,” and especially…”Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!!!”

[ open on exterior, White House ]

[ dissolve to interior, Oval Office, President George W. Bush at his desk ]

Intercom: Mr. President? You’ve got a phone call from Sen. Kerry.

President George W. Bush: Thanks, Ashley. [ picks up phone ] Hello there, John.

[ split-screen ]

John Kerry: Hello, George! I just wanted to call and congratulate the man who ran the most ruthlessly efficient campaign in the history of the nation.

President George W. Bush: Well, thank you. I’ll tell Karl Rove. [ chuckles ]

John Kerry: I was talking about you, George. So, how’s everything else?

President George W. Bush: Well, you know.. I don’t know. I got so much work to do. I’ve got to clean up the mess left by the previous administration.

John Kerry: Well, in that respect, I don’t envy you, George!

President George W. Bush: Yeah, well, tell me about it, you know. I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention, but the economy is in shambles. You know, we haven’t caught Osama bin Laden because we outsourced the job to those.. those crazy Moo-lahs and – heck! Don’t get me started on Iraq. You know that’s just.. that’s just a nightmare. What about you? What are you up to?

John Kerry: [ sips a frozen mixed drink, as a waiter delivers a second ] Not much of anything. Just hanging out, really. Recovering. Pretty boring stuff.

President George W. Bush: That sounds, uh.. awesome

John Kerry: Well, I have to be honest – it was rough at first. But then my accountant told me how much money I would save under your administration. It was hard not to feel like a winner. Plus, my wife has citizenship in, like, eight countries, so, if this joint goes down, I’ve got plenty of outs! [ Theresa Heintz-Kerry nudges John ] Oh, wait, hold on, she wants to talk to you.

Theresa Heintz-Kerry: Whoooooo!! Congratulations, George! I knew you could do it! Listen, tell Laura I said Hello. Hug her awkwardly for me, okay? [ blows a kiss ]

President George W. Bush: Will do.

John Kerry: [ back on the phone with Bush ] Oh, isn’t she great? To think that I married her for her money and I got so much more – houses.. cars.. an ostrich ranch; it’s fantastic!

President George W. Bush: Wow, John, you know, I’ve never heard you sound so relaxed and easygoing.

John Kerry: Curse of the Democrats, George. We save likeable and charming for the concession speech. When it counts – stiff, cold and wooden. When the campaign’s over, we’re the life of the party!

Voice: Whoo-hoo-hooooo!!!!

[ Al Gore sits ]

Al Gore: Well, well, well. John, I have the shuffleboard court reserved for 4:30.

John Kerry: I’ll be there in a few minutes, Al.

Al Gore: Well, come quick, there’s a lot of great games. Tipper and I just won a limbo contest by a decisive margin. Who are you talking to?

John Kerry: George. He says he’s swamped at work.

Al Gore: Let me talk to him. [ takes the phone ] Congratulations, George.

President George W. Bush: Thanks, Al! And I actually won this one, you know! It feels, uh, weird, you know?

Al Gore: I just want to thank you again for what you did to me four years ago. Losing to you was the best thing that ever happened to me. I mean, I keep telling John now’s the time to grow a beard, hang out with Ben Affleck, and start yelling a lot! People really seem to respond to that.

President George W. Bush: Well, uh.. you know, it sure sounds like you’re having fun.

Al Gore: Well, like I always says: “Do do do do do – I’m loving it!” [ chuckles ]

President George W. Bush: Alright. Al, Al, Al, Al.. could you put John back on the phone, please?

Al Gore: Oh, snippy. [ returns the phone to John ]

John Kerry: [ laughing ] Oh, I love that goofball! Come on, George, I’m sure you and your friends are having fun, too.

President George W. Bush: You know, that’s the thing. All my friends are leaving. You know: Ashcroft; Don Evans; Rumsfeld’s gonna go; Colin Powell cleared out his office, like, two years ago, you know? That guy is gone. You know that feeling you had in college, when all your friends were gradge-e-ating, but you still had, like, two more semesters of math requirements? It’s like that.

John Kerry: Well, I’m sure you’re gonna find some good people.

President George W. Bush: Yeah. I’m sure I will. Everything’s gonna be fine.. I guess.

John Kerry: Well, that’s the spirit!

[ John pauses to take a sip from his frozen drink, as Bush waits patiently ]

President George W. Bush: Switch with me!

John Kerry: I’m sorry, w-what?

President George W. Bush: Switch with me. Please! You know, I can find more votes for you in Ohio. [ chuckles ] Trust me – I know where to look!

John Kerry: No, no, I don’t think that’s a good idea, George.

President George W. Bush: Oh, it can work, John. You know? It worked in “The Parent Trap.”

John Kerry: They were twins, George.

President George W. Bush: But what am I gonna do?

John Kerry: George, this is a very important time in our country. People need you to lead them.

President George W. Bush: I guess you’re right, John. You know? It’s time to be decisive. Now, this may not be the popular thing to say, but I’m gonna say it. [ hangs up his phone ] “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

Announcer: You’re watching Wake up San Diego with Joyce Ann Golden and Trevor Green.

(Upbeat jazzy tune plays while Joyce and Trevor dance with great enthusiasm in their talk show studio )

Joyce: Ugh, ugh. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Excellent, excellent. Can we talk about that music. Is that new?

Trevor: It sounded new. I felt I was in one of my favorite jazz clubs. Toby, was that a new new theme.

Toby: Yes, it is new. We’re trying to to shake things up around here.

Joyce: Well that is really great. Who was it Toby – Winston Marseilles or one of the Marseilles brothers?

Trevor: Was that Winston, Toby?

Toby: No, I believe it’s called City Groove.

Joyce: Well it sounded great. I mean really, really great. Didn’t it, Trevor.

Trevor: Yes, it did. Well good morning everybody.

Joyce: It is a good morning. We have a terrific show for you today.

Trevor: I’m Trevor Green.

Joyce: And I’m Joyce Ann Golden and this is Wake up San Diego. Oh, wait a minute.

(Groovy music plays and Trevor and Joyce get up and dance. Joyce dances jumping in one place, Trevor gyrates his hips, makes masks with his fingers, snaps his fingers, Joyce does the robot, Toby looks on smiling)

Joyce: Go ahead, go ahead. Ugh, ugh. Go ahead. I can’t stop, I can’t stop. I got,I got the fever. I can’t stop. I got the fever. Hey, owww. (music stops) Toby, Toby, whoever is on sound today is really really making me move my junk, I just love it!

Trevor: Me too! This sound is fresh! (they sit down) Was that the Spinners, Toby?

Joyce: Or an instrumental of one of the Spinners?

Toby: (a little stressed) I don’t know, but let’s keep the show rolling.

Joyce: Woo! Well all right.

Trevor: What a show we have today, right, Joyce Ann?

Joyce: It sure is, Trevor. You know I’ve been through a lot over the past year with the identity theft and the kidnapping. But that is nothing compared to what our first guest has been through.

Trevor: That’s right, Joyce Ann. Now this man’s story is shocking. Please welcome Darnell Martinez.

(Enters Darnell and vibrant Latin music plays sending Joyce Ann into a frenzy shaking her skirt wildly, Trevor dances too to the Latin beat)

Joyce: Woo! Kikikikikikikiki!! Wooo, yeah. I can’t stop, I can’t stop! (Darnell smiles shyly and when approached by Joyce starts dancing too) Can you stop! I can even stop!(Joyce plays air guitar) Feels realgood! (Toby watches them and smiles, music stops)

Trevor: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Welcome to the show.

Joyce: Welcome, my goodness. That sort of had a Latin vibe. Didn’t you think Trevor?

Trevor: Yes, yes, yes.

Joyce: Toby, was that a Latin groove?

Trevor: Was that Celia Cruz, Toby?

Joyce: It could’ve been Miami Sound Machine. Was that the Machine, Toby?

Toby: Apparently, it’s from a Starbucks mix CD called Caliente Fever. But hey, let’s focus on our guest.

Joyce: Well, aye, aye Captain. (military salute)

Trevor: So, Darnell tell us. You think that was Celia Cruz?

Darnell: (caught off guard) I’m really not sure. I haven’t been listening much these days because of my situation.

Joyce: Darnell, why don’t you tell our audience what you’ve been through.

Darnell: All right well, my house burned down (audience awws) Yeah and the insurance won’t pay for it (audience awws) because my wife set some curling irons on top of some papers towels.

Joyce: You can’t do that.

Trevor: Let’s take a look at the devastation.

(slow soulful music plays)

(picture of the house burning at night; audience awws. Second picture of the already burnt house during the day; audience awws)

Trevor: That’s just terrible.

Joyce: Toby, Toby what’s that music underneath?

(again Joyce and Trevor get up and dance slowly)

Trevor: That is smooth, Toby crank it up. I’m going in, I’m going in. (Trevor inhales and exhales deeply while doing yoga like moves and meditating, Darnells looks confused)

Joyce: Go in. Go into the inner you. Oh, oh.

Trevor: Oh, yes. Oh yes.

(Joyce makes a snake dance and gets close to Darnell standing on one leg brushes his face with her hair. Music stops.)

Joyce: Woo! Who was that? Spiro Gyra, Toby?

Trevor: Or a young band with a Spiro Gyra vibe?

Toby: (Feeling aggravated) Do you really want me to find out? Is it that important to you?

Joyce: Ohh! Toby Fredericks everyone. (Toby smiles)

Trevor: Our producer. We love you, Toby.

Joyce: So Darnell. Your wife died in the fire, right?

Darnell: No she’s fine. You just refused to fly her out here.

Joyce: Did we, Toby? (Toby nods yes, embarrassed) All right, you know what Darnell? We have something for you.

Darnell: (getting excited) Oh, no! Don’t tell me this. I knew when you asked me on the show something good would happen. (emotional) I might cry.

Joyce: Well don’t you cry because I might ugly cry. Come on.

Trevor: Come on here Darnell. (All three get up and walk over to a podium with a gift wrapped box on top of it) See this box? In it are the keys (beat) to your happiness.

Darnell: Oh, my God! Did you get me a house?

Trevor: No, something better. (Reveals a CD with Joyce and Trevor on the cover smiling)

Joyce: OHHH!!

Trevor: A Wake up San Diego CD sampler with all the great music used on the show, today!!

Joyce: Oww!!Check that out! Well Darnell’s face says it all!

Trevor: We’ll be right back after this!

(City groove plays, Joyce and Trevor dance and Darnell holds up the cd confused and looking around the studio for help)

(Cheers and applause)

Drug-Sniffing Dog

Potsmoker…..Liam Neeson
Potsmoker’s Girl…..Amy Poehler
Officer…..Chris Parnell
Officer Quinn…..Kenan Thompson

[ open on interior police station, as a white trash couple enters ]

Potsmoker’s Girl: What are we doing in a police station?

Potsmoker: Relax, everything’s gonna be cool. We have to find the pot that I lost.

Potsmoker’s Girl: You didn’t lose it, you hid it.

Potsmoker: Exactly. I hid it so no one else could find it, but I forgot where I hid it.

Potsmoker’s Girl: So why are we here? Are you gonna file a “missing pot” report?

Potsmoker: I’m not stupid! They would arrest me if I did that. I’m just gonna borrow one of their drug-sniffing dogs so I can find my weed. Observe. [ casually saunters over to the officer on duty ] Good afternoon, Officer. How are you today?

Officer: I’m fine. How may I help you?

Potsmoker: [ turns to give the thumbs-up to his girlfriend ] I’m part of a community outreach program, and this week we’re volunteering to walk your drug-sniffing dogs, especially the ones that sniff pot.

Officer: We’re not interested.

Potsmoker: I thought you might be a little hesitant. But our special this week not only includes walking the dogs, we’re also gonna wash them. So.. if you could bring out one of your dogs, I can get started.

Officer: Our dogs are very well taken care of. And, besides, I’ve never heard of your organization.

Potsmoker’s Girl: Hey, hey, hey.. can I talk to you real quick?

Potsmoker: Chill out, go wait back there. [ she sits ] Okay, I’m gonna levle with ya’ – I’m not part of a community outreach program.

Officer: I had a hunch.

Potsmoker: Okay, here’s the truth. My kid is turning five years old today, and I promised I would bring a drug-sniffing dog to his party.

Officer: I guess I could have an officer stop by the party for a few minutes.

Potsmoker: Nah, that’s not gonna work.

Officer: Why not?

Potsmoker: No offense, but my kid hates cops. You know, the whole Rodney King thing?

Officer: I thought you said he was five?

Potsmoker: I know, but he watches a lot of A&E. He must have seen Bill Kurtis talk about it, and you know kids. So, just, uh, give me the dog, and I’ll have him back to you in no time.

Officer: Maybe we can work something out. Why don’t you give me your name and address —

Potsmoker: [ chuckles ] Nice try.

Potsmoker’s Girl: Hey! We-we’re late, we should get moving.

Potsmoker: One second, baby. [ faces the officer again ] Okay, Officer, here’s the real deal. I’m gonna lay it out in front of ya’, as is. I’m afraid my son is on drugs.

Officer: Your five year old son?

Potsmoker: Makes your heart weep, don’t it? I want to help him, but at his age, I don’t want to get him in trouble with the law. Especially with the way he feels about you pigs already.

Officer: [ sighs ] Well, I can send an officer over there, and we won’t fill out a report on your son, we’ll just dispose of the drugs.

Potsmoker: Okay, that’s not gonna work, either. This time I’m gonna shoot straight with ya’?

Potsmoker’s Girl: Hey, hey, hey, hey! We should really get out of here, and just go buy some more P-O-T!

Officer: [ sighs ] I’m a grown man, and I know what that spells.

Potsmoker: She’s just kidding, Officer. Now, where were we?

Officer: Sir! I’m not giving you a drug-sniffing dog!

Potsmoker: Okay! Here it is. Scout’s honor. You’ve heard of Homeland Security, right?

Officer: No!

Potsmoker: You’ve never heard of —

Officer: I have heard of it, I mean “No!” to your story.

Potsmoker: Check it out, guy – my grandma has glaucoma —

Officer: No!

Potsmoker: I.. misplaced my hemp belt.

Officer: Hmm.. no!

Potsmoker’s Girl: W-we can’t find our Willie Nelson albums?

Potsmoker: Yeah!

Officer: No!

Potsmoker: Oh, come on, man! just be cool, let me borrow the dog!

Officer: No, I’m sorry, I can’t be “cool.”

Potsmoker: Dude! You are bumming me out! [ points to a black officer ] I want to talk to the black cop out there!

Officer: [ sighs ] Officer Quinn. This gentlemen would like to talk to you about borrowing one of our dogs.

Officer Quinn: A drug-sniffing dog.

Officer: One of our drug-sniffing dogs.

Officer Quinn: Why do you want the dog?

Potsmoker: It’s funny you should ask. [ looks at the first officer ] Uh.. do you mind butting out of this?

Officer: Not at all. [ promptly exits ]

Officer Quinn: Mmm-hmm.. oh, you hid it? Okay.. now you can’t find it? Alright. Oh, ’cause I’m black, I’m supposed to be cool? Right, right, right. So you need a dog? You know, I think we got it.

Potsmoker: So, we’re cool?

Officer Quinn: Hell, no, we not cool! Man, you lucky I don’t arrest you!

Potsmoker: For real?

Officer Quinn: [ whispers ] No, not for real. Meet me in the back in five minutes. [ gives thumbs-up ] Now, get out of here!

[ first officer returns ]

Officer Quinn: Man, that guy was crazy.

Officer: Mmm-hmm.

Officer Quinn: [ fakes a yawn ] I’m tired! I think I’m gonna take an early lunch. You know, maybe take Rusty with me. Come on, Rusty! [ exits ]

Officer: I’ll see you later. [ back to business ] Uh, Crystal? Someone has posted your bail, so if you’ll just come over here and sign this for me..

[ dissolve to a smoke-filled room in a trailer, the white trash couple and Officer Quinn lying on the couch listening to Willie Nelson music as a small kid runs circles around them ]

Officer Quinn: Yeah.. oh, hell, Willie, sing it!

Potsmoker: Willie’s the best!

Officer Quinn: Yeah, he sure is. Hey, can you tell oyur kid to take off that Spiderman mask? He’s freaking me out.

Potsmoker’s Girl: We don’t know that kid!
