Loretta…..Rachel Dratch
Leslie…..Chris Parnell
John George Peppers…..Will Forte
Missy Peppers…..Tina Fey

[open on exterior of home with Christmas decorations]

[dissolve to interior with a large group of people, and a glass bowl on a table in the center of the room]

Kathy: [laughs] Okay, everyone, gather around. I think it’s time that we start this key party.

Ted: Okay, I want to talk through the rules one more time. All the men will put their keys in the bowl, and then the women will pick a set, we’ll break into pairs, and I think you know what happens then.

Kathy: Yeah. There are three bedrooms open upstairs, an air bed in the den, and an upside-down kiddie pool in the garage.

Ted: And try to keep it down, because Kathy’s mom is upstairs, and she is sleeping.

Kathy: Yup.

Owen: [aside to Carol] You know what, maybe this isn’t such a good idea.

Carol: [aside to Owen with ungainly, blaring voice used throughout skit] Don’t get cold feet now, honey. We talked about this. Our love is strong enough for us to share our love and our bodies with others.

Ted: Now, I know all of you by your online chat room names, but maybe it’s best if we run through our real names one more time.

Cheyenne: Cheyenne.

Victor: Victor.

Loretta: Loretta.

Leslie: Leslie.

John: John George Peppers.

Missy: Missy Peppers. [speaking through clenched teeth and with a slight speech impediment, used throughout the skit]

Owen: Owen.

Carol: Carol.

Ted: And I’m Ted, and this is my wife Kathy. And I must say, I’m very happy with tonight’s turnout. The fear has always been that a bunch of freaks are going to show up to these things.

Kathy: Yeah, it’s a really good group tonight, you guys. Great sexual energy.

Carol: I forgot everybody’s names. Let’s do the list again.

Cheyenne: Cheyenne.

Victor: Victor.

Loretta: Loretta.

Leslie: Les-lah.

John: John George Peppers.

Missy: Missy Peppers.

Owen: Owen.

Carol: Carol.

Ted: And I’m Ted, and this is Kathy. Now, we were very clear on the e-vite that everyone needed to come up with a safe word.

Kathy: Yeah, a safe word is just in case you’re in the middle of sex play or a scenario that’s making you uncomfortable and you want to stop.

Ted: So before we pair off, let’s go once and say our safe words.

Cheyenne: Parachute.

Victor: Nunchucks.

Loretta: Razzmatazz.

Leslie: Filibuster.

John: John George Peppers.

Missy: Popcorn.

Owen: Submarine.

Carol: Supercagifragilisticexpealidocious. [sic]

Ted: Mine is “more.”

Kathy: And mine is “harder.”

[Ted and Kathy laugh]

Ted: We’re just kidding. We do not have safe words.

Kathy: No, there’s nothing you can do to me that can make me feel uncomfortable.

Ted: Trust me, I’ve tried. I love you. [hugs her]

Owen: [aside to Carol] Baby, I don’t think this is such a good idea.

Carol: [aside to Owen] But I want to do this! I think it will be good for our relationship, because I love you, and I want to learn how to do other things to you.

Owen: [aside to Carol] Come on, let’s just go home. I’ll light some candles, I’ll slip you out of that girdle, flip on “The Jimmy Kimmel Show,” and our bodies will become one, baby.

Carol: [aside to Owen] But I want to do this. [to all] Oh, boy! The safe words made me forget your real names. Tell me again.

Cheyenne: Cheyenne.

Victor: Victor.

Loretta: Loretta.

Leslie: Les-lie.

John: John George Peppers.

Missy: Missy Peppers.

Owen: Owen.

Carol: Carol.

Ted: And I’m Ted, and this is Kathy.

Carol: Oh, boy. Now I forgot the safe words again. Say them!

Cheyenne: Parachute.

Victor: Nunchucks.

Loretta: Razzmatazz.

Leslie: Fie-la-booster.

John: John George Peppers.

Missy: Popcorn. [crosses her fists in front of her chest]

Owen: Submarine.

Carol: Superfragalasticisticespalabanocious. [sic]

Ted: And we don’t use them.

Kathy: No, do your worst.

Carol: I want to go first, ’cause I want to have sex with a stranger.

Owen: Baby, wait. Wait. [while Owen speaks, carol touches his face tenderly] When I married you, I knew I was the luckiest bastard on the face of the Earth. And I swore I would do whatever it takes to make you happy. And if that means you need to do this, well, all I can ask is that you promise me you won’t fall in love with anyone else!

Carol: No can do! [pushes Owen onto the couch] Give me all the keys! [picks up the bowl of keys and lifts one set] Ew! These are yours! [throws them at Owen] Come on, everybody! [barrels up the stairs]

Kathy: [brightly] Oh, it’s an orgy!

Carol: It’s an orgy!

[everybody but Owen and Missy follow Carol upstairs]

Owen: [rests his head glumly on the banister, and then looks at Missy, tosses his keys in the air and catches them] Well, why not? Do you want to move to the couch? [puts an arm around Missy]

Missy: Popcorn! Popcorn! [crosses her fists in front of her chest while pulling away from Owen]

Amy: [ interrupting ] Yeah, we get it, Merv.

Steve the Skeeve: That’s right — I’m from across the pond, but, hopefully, later tonight, I’ll be across the blonde.

[ Merv and Steve laugh, as the girls titter ]

Rachel: [ whispering to Amy ] His accent is SO elegant..!

Merv the Perv: Hey, you want to hear my idea of elegant? You two slipping out of those antlers, heading back to my place, and massaging my planters horse with your boobies.

[ the girls remain speechless for a moment ]

Amy: Merv, you are such a bonehead!

Steve the Skeeve: Hey — I’ll supply the bone, you supply the head, we could make a movie.

[ Merv laughs ]

Amy: [ giggling ] Oh, my God — he’s like Shakespeare!

Merv the Perv: Hey, I LOVE Shakespeare! Speaking of which, I’ll be putting on a production of Core-a-lanus out in my van! Who wants to audition?

[ a visibly pregnant Maya steps forward, and whispers into the girls’ ears ]

Maya: Hey, girls — who’s the hunk with Merv the Perv?

Amy: Back off, I saw him first.

Merv the Perv: Howdy, Preggo! If that’s a little lady you’ve got in there, then I’m lookin’ at my first three-way!

Maya: [ stunned ] That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

Steve the Skeeve: [ stepping forward ] Hey there, beautiful. If you’re not busy later, how about we adjoin to the janitor’s closet, drop trou, and see if I can hit baby?

Maya: [ blushing ] Wow! You know just what to say!

Steve the Skeeve: [ drops to his knees and touches Maya’s belly ] Hey, little fella… better make some room in there, it’s about to get real crowded.

Rachel: Wow! She’s so lucky!

Amy: I know — tell me about it!

Merv the Perv: [ points to his genitals ] I’ll tell you about this: three solid inches of hairless, wrinkled pleasure with your name on it! [ motions his fingers ] Come and get some.

Rachel: Okay! That’s it! Merv, you need to learn a lesson from your cousin, Steve the Skeeve here. He is a gentleman, and he treats women with RESPECT!

[ Steve pops his head out from under Rachel’s skirt ]

Steve the Skeeve: Merv, you have GOT to check this out! The view from down here is FANTASTIC!

Merv the Perv: [ chuckles ] I’m sure it is, Steve… but I can take a hint. These ladies clearly want me to leave, so I guess I’ll just take off… MY PANTS!!

[ Merv pulls his breakaway pants loose to reveal a red-and-green candy cane thong ]

Girls: Oh, Merrrrrrrvv!!

Merv the Perv: Hey, that’s Merv… the Perv!

Big Roach Problem

Man…..Colin Farrell
Woman…..Amy Poehler
Roach #1…..Horatio Sanz

Man: Well, this is the place. [unlocking door] Let me just peek in and make sure the coast is clear. I have a bit of a roach problem.

Woman: Well, don’t worry about it. I have roaches in my apartment too. This is New York City. Everybody has roaches.

Man: Yeah, but I have a BIG roach problem.

Woman: I have so many in my apartment I’m gonna start charging rent.

[Both laugh and enter apartment]

Man: C’mon in.

[Both walk in apartment, and it’s completely dark.]

Woman: Oh wow, it’s really dark.

Man: [closes door] Uh, yeah. I’ll just put the food down and light a few candles.

Woman: Okay. You know what, well, let me just turn on a light so you can see just a-

Man: No! Not the lights!

[The lights come on, and there is a human-sized roach sitting on the couch eating out of a box of Honey Comb cereal. He freezes then jumps off the couch. Woman screams.]

Man: There he is! [The roach jumps over the back of couch] Do you see him? [The roach runs out the kitchen door.]

Woman: Oh my-

Man: Did you see him? He just ran into the bathroom!

Woman: Oh my god! What the hell was that?! Was that thing just eating a box of cereal?!

Man: Damn thing loves cereal. [He picks up the box] No matter how tight you close the box, they always find a way in anyway.

Woman: Is there a power plant near here? That thing was huge!

Man: Like you said, everyone has roaches. This is New York, right?

Woman: No, no, that was, like, the biggest roach I’ve ever seen. Gross!

Man: Yeah, well, he’s gone now, so just start setting up the food. I’ll just take these coats and put them in the closet. [He opens the closet door, the roach is in there, and Woman yells.]

Man: What?!

Woman: Behind you!

Man: Who?!

Woman: The roach!

Man: Where?!

[The roach runs around behind Man every time he turns around, so he never does see him.]

Woman: The roach is behind you!

Man: What?

Woman: Right behind you!

Man: Where?!

Woman: Right behind you! It went behind the couch!

Man: I don’t believe it! [He takes off his boot]

Woman: Get him! Hit him before he gets away.

Man: He’s not getting away this time. [He starts beating the roach behind the couch and some guts/slime sprays all over him with every hit. Woman yells out.]

Man: I think I killed him. [He points at the roach and then at his shirt]

Woman: Oh, thank God!

Man: Ugh! I got roach guts on my nice shirt.

Woman: [looking around] Wait, I can hear him moving! There he is! There he is! [She points over at the wall behind the couch]

Man: Dammit, where is he?!

Woman: He’s over there!

Man: Where?!

Woman: Next to the window!

Man: Where?!

Woman: Uh-uh-how can you not see him?!

Man: [whispers loudly] I see him! I can see him! [whispers loudly and slowly] Hand me the can of spray, Baby.

[Amy moves slowly and grabs the can of spray off the coffee table and hands it to Colin. Man walks nonchalantly behind the couch chuckling as if they were talking about something funny.]

Man: [laughs] Yeah.

[He laughs more and then lunges at the roach spraying him up and down with the spray. The roach just shoos it away from his face, holds his nose, and nothing happens to him.]

Man: It’s not working! [He looks at the can] This is air freshener. [He hands it to Amy] Hand me the roach spray.

Woman: Oh, sorry. [She hands him the roach spray]

Man: You’re goin’ down this time, you big possum. [He starts spraying the roach and it reacts like it’s dying. It fights until it falls to the floor.] Ugh! That should do it. I think he’s finally dead.

Woman: You’re not gonna leave him on the floor there, are you?

Man: [says sarcastically] No-o. Hand me some tissue. I’m gonna flush him down the toilet.

Woman: [grabs about 5 tissues] If you flush him down the toilet, he’s gonna go into the ocean and kill somebody.

Man: Well, let me at least move him. [He pushes up his sleeves] All right. [He tugs with all his might behind the couch] Ugh! He’s too heavy. [He tries again and yanks off two legs] Gross!

Woman: Well, just cover him with the tissue then.

Man: [acts as if he got an idea] Ah! [He points at her with the legs, then sets them down and unfolds the tissues. He gingerly places the tissues on top of the roach.] Whew! [He claps his hands together as if to dust them off] Uh, let’s turn off these lights and get cozy. [He sighs, turns off the lights, walks over to couch and sits down] Now this is more like it.

Woman: Y-y-y-you sure that roach is dead? [She looks around]

Man: Don’t be scared. He’s dead.

Woman: C-c-c-could you just make sure?

Man: [throws his hands up] Okay.

Woman: I’m coming with you!

Man: Don’t be scared, he’s dead.

[They walk together to turn the lights on. They turn around the there are 3 roaches climbing on their furniture and eating their food.]

Together: Oh my god!

[They both keep yelling and the roaches jump up to scurry away. Man starts beating them with his boot. Woman grabs the spray and starts spraying them. One tries to kiss Amy.]

Man: [yells at a roach] What are you doing with my cereal?! Get out of my cereal! [He throws his boot at the roach.]

Kuwait Briefing

Donald Rumsfeld…..Darrell Hammond
Soldier #1…..Rob Riggle
Soldier #2…..Will Forte
Soldier #3…..Kenan Thompson
Soldier #4…..Finesse Mitchell
Soldier #5…..Rachel Dratch

[General introduces Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and soldiers stand and applaud him]

Rumsfeld: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My goodness. What a group. Now before we begin, I want to express on behalf of the entire nation my deepest gratitude for the service you have given and the sacrifices you have all made. And God bless you. [applause] Now as the General said, I’m here to answer your questions. [looks around the crowd] Yes.

Soldier #1: [clears throat] Secretary Rumsfeld, uh, our troops have been in Iraq for three years. Our vehicles don’t have armor plating, so we’re digging through landfills for pieces of scrap metal. My question is, why aren’t resources like armor plating readily available?

Rumsfeld: That’s a fair question, and I suppose my answer would be, in any war there are going to be shortages of equipment. It’s simply the nature of war, especially one as poorly planned as this one.

Soldier #1: Uh-huh.

Rumsfeld: In fact, I would suspect your complaint is a common one. [pointing out in the crowd] Who else here is short of equipment? [points] Yes.

Soldier #2: Uh, our unit has almost no communications gear.

Rumsfeld: [points elsewhere] You, Sir.

Soldier #3: Uh, we need night vision goggles.

Rumsfeld: [points elsewhere] Yes.

Soldier #4: [throws his hands up in the air] Sir, we still don’t have any pants. [camera zooms out to show him in only a jacket and underwear.]

Rumsfeld: [scowls] My goodness. That kind of thing is inexcusable. No question about it. Now, is the lack of basic equipment for our troops something we’re willing to live with? Absolutely not. Are we putting every resource at our disposal into solving this problem? You bet. Is it going to be corrected any time soon? I have no idea. But as for your question, Sir, about the armor for refitting and up armoring our trucks, that we do have.

Soldier #1: Really?

Rumsfeld: Absolutely.

Soldier #1: That’s great. How soon will it get here?

Rumsfeld: Oh, it’s been here. Got here about six months ago.

Soldier #1: It’s here? In Kuwait?

Rumsfeld: Right over in the next hangar. I’ve seen it. It’s state-of-the-art. Looks great.

[The soldier and Rumsfeld look back and forth at each other, both waiting for the other to say something.]

Soldier #1: Could, uh, could we have it?

Rumsfeld: Well, it’s sort of packed away.

Soldier #1: But we will be receiving it?

Rumsfeld: Well, the thing it, it’s kind of hard to get to. It’s back behind a bunch of other stuff. How soon do ya need it?

Soldier #1: As soon as possible, really, would be great.

Rumsfeld: Aw, that’s not gonna be easy.

Soldier #1: My unit would be happy to go in there and help unload it.

Rumsfeld: Well, the problem is, you wouldn’t know where to look. And we really can’t have a bunch of guys to go in there digging around. I’m sorry.

Soldier #1: (tsk) Ok. [thinks for a moment] Oh! What if we were really careful and put everything back exactly where we found it?

Rumsfeld: [shakes head] I wish I could help. I really do. But if we gave your unit armor, we’d have to give it to everybody.

Soldier #1: I understand.

Rumsfeld: [points elsewhere] Yes.

Soldier #5: Hi. Um, I was supposed to go home a year ago, but my tour has been extended twice because of the Stop Loss program. Can anything be done about that?

Rumsfeld: Regrettably, the Stop Loss program, in which a soldier’s tour of duty can be extended without his consent, has become an unfortunate fact of life in today’s military. Now, does everyone agree that it’s not the ideal solution to our recruitment problems? Of course. Is it used any more than is absolutely necessary? Yes, as a matter of fact, it is. But when you signed up for the National Guard, that’s a chance you took.

Soldier #5: Well, see, that’s the thing. I didn’t actually sign up for the Guard. Um, I thought I was applying for a bank loan to buy a car, and the next thing I knew I was drugged, thrown in a van, and here I am.

Rumsfeld: Obviously…obviously, I’m not going to deny there are problems with the kidnap-enforceable enlistment program, even though, to be perfectly honest, it was my idea. I suppose one could look at it philosophically that it’s the price one pays for being an American citizen.

Soldier #5: Ok, see, that’s the other thing. I’m not an American citizen. I was just visiting here from Canada. It seems wrong somehow.

Rumsfeld: My gosh, what an absolutely awful story. I only wish there was something I could do. [points elsewhere] Yes.

Soldier #1: It’s uh, me again. Suppose we just borrowed the armor plating, and then after the mission we just-

Rumsfeld: [Interrupts, chuckling] Aw, come on now, don’t make me shoot you. [chuckles] Seriously, don’t. [looks around] Any other questions? Nope. In that case, Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!

Weekend Update with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

…..Tina Fey
…..Amy Poehler
…..Brett Hull
…..Lindsay Lohan
…..Colin Farrell

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

[cheers and applause]

Amy Poehler: I’m Amy Poehler.

Tina Fey: I’m Tina Fey. And here are tonight’s top stories:

Donald Rumsfeld visited troops in Kuwait this week, and when specialist Thomas Wilson asked why they had to dig through landfills to find scrap metal to uparmor their vehicles, Rumsfeld had this to say:

Donald Rumsfeld: If you think about it, you can have all the armor in the world on a tank, uh, and a tank can be blown up.

Tina Fey: Now Merry Christmas, suckers! Oy.

According to his own Grand Jury testimony, New York Yankees player Jason Giambi injected himself with Human Growth Hormone in 2003, and also used steroids for at least three seasons. Although apparently, not the kind that make you good at baseball.

I don’t know, I don’t watch baseball.

Amy Poehler: Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, who was President Bush’s nominee to be the next Homeland Security chief, abruptly withdrew his name from the nomination on Friday. So President Bush stubbornly insists on going back to his original choice: Superman.

This past Tuesday marked the first night of misspelling “Chanukah.” [graphic of a menorah with a caption that reads “Chanugah”]

Tina Fey: In preparation for his child molestation trial, investigators took a DNA sample by swabbing Michael Jackson’s mouth on Saturday. Then, out of habit, Jackson gave the investigators twelve million dollars in hush money.

Amy Poehler: The NHL hockey lockout continues, and may end up causing the entire season to be cancelled. Here to talk about it, from the Phoenix Coyotes, Brett Hull.

[pan to Brett; applause]

Brett Hull: Hi! Thanks for having me.

Amy Poehler: Thank you! Thanks for being here, Brett. You are arguably the best player in the NHL today.

Brett Hull: Oh, I don’t know about that. As they say, there’s no, uh, “I” in team. But as I say, uh, there’s no team without I. I’m just kidding! Hi guys.

Amy Poehler: Well it must be, uh, breaking your heart to miss a whole season.

Brett Hull: No doubt, Amy. I really miss playing, and scoring goals in air hockey just isn’t the same.

Amy Poehler: Th- Tell me about it, yeah, I know. So, do you think the NHL—[some laughter] do you think the NHL will be able to regain popularity after a year off?

Brett Hull: I think so. I mean, with the basketball riots, the steroids in baseball, I think hockey’s looking classier all the time.

Amy Poehler: Very true. Brett, you’re Canadian. What do you think of this new gay marriage law passing in Canada?

Brett Hull: Well, that’s what happens in Canada when there’s no hockey. [applause] Guys, guys have more time to hang out, talk about their feelings. Next thing you know, they’re in love with each other. I’ve got nothing against it, but I’d rather be playing hockey.

Amy Poehler: You heard it here first, folks. Brett Hull would rather play hockey than marry a dude. Brett Hull, everybody! [applause]

Tina Fey: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have pledged to help stop abuses at overseas sweatshops producing their clothing line, although the twins say they know from personal experience that three-year-olds have more than enough energy to work an 18-hour day. [photo of the Olsens as toddlers] Aw, look how cute they were!

Amy Poehler: A little tired!

[picture of Hamid Karzai wearing his famous hat] This week, in a historic ceremony, interim prime minister Hamid Karzai was sworn in as Afghanistan’s first democratically-elected hat model. [laughs at her joke] Nice hat!

The Anti-Defamation League is upset with Bill O’Reilly for suggesting to a Jewish caller on his syndicated radio show that if he is offended by Christian attempts to convert him, he should go to Israel. Then he asked the caller what he was wearing.

Tina Fey: Oh, thank you for reminding me. Hey Bill, remember that time you used to call that lady that worked for you and, uh, tell her you wanted to rub soap on her boobs? And uh, and then you told her you had a big penis, but if you really had a big penis you wouldn’t have to tell people, they would just see that. Aw man, remember when you did that? I do.

[cut to graphic; applause]

Don Pardo V/O: This has been “Don’t forget Bill O’Reilly is disgusting.”

Tina Fey: Andy Slater, Rick Floyd, and Bobby Wooderson are suing filmmaker Richard Linklater for defamation, for using their names for three stoner characters in his 1993 movie “Dazed and Confused.” The three may not have much of a case, though, since they apparently watched the movie for eleven years without recognizing their own names.

Amy Poehler: This week, Jay-Z was named president of the Def Jam record label. Sorry, John Kerry.

Tina Fey: The Christmas season is a time for giving and giving back to your community, and that’s why Amy and I have joined the Teen Mentoring Program of America. Please welcome the young girl we have been assigned to mentor, Lindsay Lohan.

[Lindsay enters and sits between Tina and Amy; applause]

Hi! Hi Lindsay.

Amy Poehler: Hi Lindsay! Lindsay, we are very worried about you, OK? What’s going on?

Lindsay Lohan: Nothing. Everything’s great.

Tina Fey: Are you eating?

Lindsay Lohan: Yeah, I’m eating.

Tina Fey: OK, ‘cause you know what, [grabbing Lindsay’s right arm] these are Mischa Barton arms, yeah. And I don’t like that. I think Lindsay Lohan should have Lindsay Lohan arms.

Lindsay Lohan: I- I’ve just been really busy working on my movie, “Herbie,” and my album, “Speak.”

Amy Poehler: OK, let’s talk about this album.

Tina Fey: You are a very good singer.

Amy Poehler: That is true. You have a lovely voice, but you are such a good actress. I don’t want to hear that you’re neglecting your acting!

Lindsay Lohan: Amy, I’m not neglecting my acting. I mean, a lot of actors my age have albums. Everyone’s doing it!

Amy Poehler: If Hillary Duff jumped off a bridge, would you want to do that too?

Lindsay Lohan: No, duh.

Amy Poehler: Duh? Duh? Is “duh” a word?

Lindsay Lohan: I- I didn’t mean “duh,” I just meant everything is fine.

Tina Fey: Mm-hmm. Now you’ve been wearing a lot of low-cut blouses lately—

Lindsay Lohan: Tina, nobody says “blouses.”

Tina Fey: Fine. Low cut tops, whatever the kids say, alright? So now I’m gonna ask you one more time: are those things real?

Lindsay Lohan: Oh my God! Yes!

Tina Fey: Because when people ask me if they’re real, I always tell them yes, and I would hate for you to be making a liar out of me, Lindsay.

Amy Poehler: Because people ask us a lot.

Lindsay Lohan: OK, you know what? Stop it, you guys are embarrassing me. Besides, I’m not sure you two are the best mentors for me anyway.

[Tina and Amy gasp in astonishment]

Because Tina, you admitted to me that you used to have sex with a guy ‘cause you thought he would help you get into movies.

Tina Fey: Yes, but that was before Fandango made everything so easy! [some applause]

Lindsay Lohan: OK, I mean, and Amy, you’re drunk right now.

Amy Poehler: How dare you! I am!

Lindsay Lohan: Listen, I love you guys, but I gotta go.

Amy Poehler: OK, wait. Where are you going?

Lindsay Lohan: I don’t know. I’m just gonna go to Colin’s dressing room and say hi.

Tina and Amy: No, no, no.

Amy Poehler: Young lady, no. You go home, and you go right to bed.

Lindsay Lohan: Fine. I will see you guys in church tomorrow.

Tina Fey: OK.

Amy Poehler: Right here, please. [Lindsay kisses both Tina and Amy on the cheek]

Tina Fey: Thank you.

Amy Poehler: Thank you. Wait wait wait, where are you really going?

Lindsay Lohan: Marquee.

Amy Poehler: What is that, like, a club? Is that a cool place, or—

Lindsay Lohan: Yeah, it’s a club, and actually it’s really fun.

Amy Poehler: So you’ll probably be dancing ‘til six in the morning, and making out with 25-year-old underwear models?

Lindsay Lohan: I don’t know, maybe.

Amy Poehler: [pauses for a moment] Take us with you! Please!

Lindsay Lohan: Guys! I can’t take you guys with me.

Tina Fey: Fine. Lindsay Lohan, everybody. [applause]

Amy Poehler: Get outta here.

Tina Fey: Our teen mentee, Lindsay Lohan!

Amy Poehler: We’re good role models!

NASA officials were alarmed to learn this week that the food supply on the International Space Station has almost run out. Though neither astronaut on the station could explain where all the food has gone, NASA officials have their suspicions. [picture of an overweight astronaut]

Tina Fey: It was reported that Mel Gibson is buying a private 5000-acre island in Fiji for fifteen million dollars. Not having any Jews around: priceless.

Amy Poehler: While boarding a flight in Africa, members of 50 Cent’s [pronounced “fiddy cent’s”] entourage—[interrupted by audience laughter] That’s how you say it! Members of 50 Cent’s entourage—[more laughter] Is that funny? I should just stop the joke right here.

Members of 50 Cent’s entourage got into a fight with a Nigerian rapper after he tried to sit in a seat reserved for 50 Cent. On the plus side, the terrorists on board were all too scared to try anything.

Actually, Tina, you know I think I know how this fight started. [as a member of the entourage] Hey, that seat is 50 Cent’s!

Tina Fey: [as the Nigerian] Uh, I only have a dollar.

Amy Poehler: No, no, no. That seat is 50 Cent’s!

Tina Fey: Do you have change?

Amy Poehler: No, no, I ain’t hearin’ nothing. The seat you’re sittin’ in belongs to 50 Cent.

Tina Fey: I already paid the lady for the ticket! This is ludicrous!

Amy Poehler: Aw, no, no. I’m Ludacris! And it’s on now!

[Tina and Amy awkwardly punch each other and shoot off fake guns. After a moment, they bow to the audience. Cheers and applause]

Tina Fey: Professional magician The Amazing Randy has promised one million dollars to anyone who can prove supernatural powers or phenomena really exist. I think it’s a supernatural phenomenon when a magician named The Amazing Randy has a million dollars!

Amy Poehler: The Supreme Court ruled Monday that members of the Ku Klux Klan cannot protest in New York City wearing their hoods and they must show their faces, because New Yorkers like to see who they’re punching. [applause]

A teenage girl- A teenage girl recently found a twenty-pound brick of marijuana while cleaning up a Pennsylvania beach. And here’s the awesome part of the story: I’ve adopted her! [applause]

Tina Fey: Our host this week, Colin Farrell, is the star of the new Oliver Stone big-budget epic “Alexander.” Much of the attention around the film has centered on Alexander the Great’s sexuality. Here to comment is Colin Farrell.

[pan to Colin; applause]

Colin Farrell: Thank you. Thank you, Tina. I’m very proud of “Alexander.” It’s an honest, multifaceted portrayal of one of the greatest figures of the ancient world. And yet, all anyone seems to talk about is how this guy liked men as well as women. He’s so much more than that!

I mean, this is a man who was able to take a group of fresh-faced young boys and whip them into one of the greatest armies the world has ever seen. And it’s not like it was that easy to get these guys to go off and follow him. As everyone knows, it’s very hard to get Greek men to leave their brothers behind. So he looked all over Greece, and found men who were anxious to leave home because they didn’t like the way they were being reared.

Tina Fey: Th- This is fascinating. And during this whole time, the Greeks were constantly being attacked by the Persian army, right?

Colin Farrell: Yes, that’s right, and the Persians were strong, manly fighters. But Alexander managed to beat off the entire Persian army.

Amy Poehler: Amazing, amazing. And yet, all people can talk about is that he mighta been gay!

Colin Farrell: Sad, isn’t it? I mean, he united all of Greece, and got them to fight together as a nation.

Amy Poehler: So he used Greece to beat off the men of the Persian army?

Colin Farrell: Yes he did, Amy. Without Greece, the job of beating off the entire Persian army would’ve been much harder. I mean, this way he can finish them off quicker.

Tina Fey: That- that’s true. I know that, ‘cause I’m Greek. So, what was a typical battle like for Alexander?

Colin Farrell: Well, his preference was always to take the Persians from behind.

Amy Poehler: Of course, sure.

Colin Farrell: Alexander would use his troops to form a long phalanx, and then he would spread their flanks and ram the head of the phalanx into the Persian rear. And then his master stroke—you’ll like this, Amy—unknown to the Persians, Alexander would hide an entire battalion of the Greek navy inside the phalanx.

Amy Poehler: Really? Wow.

Colin Farrell: Yes. So finally, after pounding away for hours and hours, a raging torrent of Greek seamen would erupt into the Persian rear.

Tina Fey: Amazing. And all we Americans care about is the fact that he may have had sex with a man! We’re so provincial, unbelievable. Colin Farrell, everybody!

[Applause; Colin distracts Tina for a moment]

Amy Poehler: For “Weekend Update,” I’m Amy Poehler…and this is Tina Fey.

Tina Fey: Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

[cheers and applause; fade]

Agent 1: Okay, all you got to do is get him to talk about the D’Ambrusio hit. Then this guy is going down. Gotta watch yourself. This is a dangerous man.

Ruben Sanders: For the last year I’ve been studying these guys. I know the way to move, I know the way to walk, I know the way they talk. I’m gonna… I’m gonna get him.

Agent 1: All right, Sanders, get your coat on and let’s do this.

Mr. Tanucci: Quit fooling around, and tell me more about this internet casino business.

Old Wiseguy: Yeah there’s a lot of money in that.

Ruben Sanders: That there is. But first I wanna tell you a little story. (Godfather music plays) When I was young, I had to hide out in Sicily. I married a beatiful farmgirl named Apollonia. I taught her to speak English Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. She takes her top off and she had perfectly round Yabbos. And they blew her up in a car. So I came to America and married a girl named Diane Keaton. (Music stops and agents in the other room shake their heads in disbelief)

Mr. Tanucci: What? I’m funny? How am I funny?

Ruben Sanders: Funny, you know.

Mr. Tanucci: I don’t know, you said it. Funny, how? Like, I’m clowning over here? To amuse you, or what? Tell me what the hell is so funny about me? (Dead serious and there’s a tense silence) I’m just bustin’ beans! Fuggitaboutit! (Everyone laughs)

Gino: I still think this guy is working for the feds.

Ruben Sanders: Oh yeah, I’m working for the FBI. My real name is agent Ruben Sanders.

Mr. Tanucci: Ruben Sanders, that’s hilarious!

Ruben Sanders: You know what? I’m trying to record you through this wire. (Opens his shirt revealing a microphone wire) I’m trying to get you, Mr. Tanucci, to admit you killed Carlo D’ambrusio.

Mr. Tanucci: (Playing along) Yeah! And I suppose I’m just gonna pick up this microphone from your shirt right here, and tell the FBI how I killed Carlo two months ago and had him buried under the Seacaucus ramp on the New Jersey turnpike, and I suppo– (Knock on the door) I suppose that the FBI is here to take me away. (Agents storm right into the club) Oh! it is them!

Agent 1: Mr. Tanucci, you’re under arrest for the murder of Carlo D’ambrusio.

Mr. Tanucci: I can’t believe you tricked me, you rat piece of garbage! I trusted you like a son, I let you in and you betrayed me! I bet you ain’t even married to Diane Keaton.

Ruben Sanders: Take him out of here.

Agent 1: I don’t agree with your methods, but you got the job done.

Ruben Sanders: Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back. We have to move on to our next mission. (Cracks up) Infiltrating the Chinese mafia. (Seth, under his breath, says, “You blew it.”) Henceforth, you will know me as.. (in thick chinese accent) ..Hong Kong-a Fooey. (bows down, and we hear the sound of a gong over cheers and applause)
