A Message From the President of the United States

President George W. Bush…..Jason Sudeikis
Dick Cheney…..Darrell Hammond
Condoleeza Rice…..Maya Rudolph

[The Official Seal for the President of the United States comes up]

Announcer: The following is a special address from the president of the United States.

[The camera goes to President Bush sitting at his desk while the audience applause]

President George W. Bush: Good evening, my fellow Americans. Memorial Day will soon be here, and for me, like most Americans, that means the long summer vacation. It’s been a very difficult year, and I don’t mind telling you, that it will be a relief, not having to think about Iraq, the war on terror, or the exploding federal debts for the next three months. In fact, I might even leave a week early. (chuckles to himself)

Since you won’t be hearing from me, until after Labor Day, tonight, I’d like to share to you some thoughts on the most important issue currently facing our nation, the war in Iraq. First, when this administration launched Operation Iraqi Freedom, critics of the war, both in the Muslim World, and here in America, charged that its real purpose was to install a U.S. puppet government in Baghdad. Now, four years later, those critics have been proven dead wrong. Far from being a U.S. puppet, the government of Iraq isn’t even much of an al-lie. In fact, I kind of think they hate us. Case and point, their parliaments resolutions set to pass next week, calling on all U.S. soldiers to leave the country. Obviously, we will ignore it. But, still, does that sound like a puppet?

[President Bush looks sideways towards Vice President Dick Cheney, and without saying anything, Dick Cheney gives a smile to the camera and gives a thumbs up. The camera goes back to Bush and he perks up from Cheney’s reaction]

President George W. Bush: Second, we all remember how, at the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom, opponents of this war acclaimed that it wasn’t about freeing the Iraqis at all, but about guaranteeing cheap oil for American consumers. Well, today, with the price of gasoline of an all time high, my administration, has once again, been resoundingly vindicated. I don’t mean to gloat, but this summer, when Americans find they’re paying over $4.00 for a gallon of unleaded, a $1.50 then they did before the war, I think they’ll say “Mr. President, we’re sorry we ever doubted you.” And I’m very proud of that.

[President Bush looks sideways once again toward Vice President Dick Cheney, who gives an “A-Okay” sign with his fingers. George Bush perks up once again and looks back to the camera]

President George W. Bush: Third, what about those critics of the war, who insisted that by overtaxing our armed forces, and spreading them to thin, we would be unable to take military action against other threats, such as, Iran, or North Korea? [scoffs] Well, just wait ’till fall. October 16th. Those critics will be proven wrong, too, big time.

[President Bush looks sideways again to see Vice President Dick Cheney throwing one of his arms down, while his hand is made into a fist. George Bush looks back at the camera]

President George W. Bush: Finally, when Operation Iraqi Freedom began, many of those against this war said this administration would refuse to listen to the advice of military experts, and would conduct the war incompetently. Here, the critics turned out to be right.

[President Bush looks sideways to find Vice President Dick Cheney. But, Dick Cheney ran off after the negativity]

President George W. Bush: [getting nervous] But, okay! That’s one out of four! You know, ask any baseball manager, one out of four is nothing to be proud of. When I was part owner of the Texas Rangers, we did a little better than that, and as I recall, we were considered a disaster! Also, we traded away Sammy Sosa for Herald Banes, which I’ll be honest, was completely my idea. Well, that’s all for tonight, I’ll see you all after labor day. Until then, all decisions effecting the country will be made by my very capable Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, and her assistant, David something-rather. [looks sideways] Condi, come on out here!

[Condoleeza Rice walks out with a front tooth missing]

Condoleeza Rice: Hello, Mr. President.

President George W. Bush: Well, stranger! Long time, no see! When was it?

Condoleeza Rice: Probably Thanksgiving. Mr. President, will there be a number where I can reach you?

President George W. Bush: [scoffs] Yeah, nice try! Any way, you’re doing a heck of a job, how about you take it from here.

Condoleeza Rice: Certainly, Mr. President. [voice rises] Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!

Zach Braff’s Monologue

Announcer…..Don Pardo
…..Zach Braff
…..Amy Poehler
…..Maya Rudolph
…..Kenan Thompson
…..Andy Samberg

Don Pardo: Ladies and Gentlemen… Zach Braff!

(Audience applauds while peppy music ends)

Zach Braff: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you very much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you. I just want to take a moment here: I cannot believe it, I am so incredibly honored to be hosting the season finale of Saturday Night Live.

(applause)

This has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little kid. I would stay up past my bed time to watch SNL in the days of the Church Lady and Toonces, the cat who could drive. Now I know when most people come out here they talk about how much they love New York, right? New York gets a lot of attention. I love New York. I grew up right across the river actually in a little state known as New Jersey. You may have seen my movie, Garden State, which was my love letter to New Jersey. I think it’s a place that’s so often overlooked in my opinion. Its my state I’m very proud of it. I just want to share those feelings to you.

(Piano starts and Zach sings to the tune of Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind”)

“Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood.
Hop a flight to Miami beach or to Hollywood.
But I’m taking New Jersey transit, the Morris/Essex line.
I’m in a New Jersey state of mind.”

Thank you very much.

(Piano continues as he breaks out of singing)

Here are some facts you may not know about the greatest state in the world. Of all the governors of all the states, our governor drives the fastest. 91 miles per hour. That’s the governor of New Jersey. Two thirds of the nation’s eggplants are grown in New Jersey, but you never once hear us brag about it. Why? We’re just not like that in New Jersey.

New Jersey has the 4th highest Italian-American population of any state, yet, HBO chose to set their series the Sopranos there. Why? It just felt right in New Jersey. For these and many other reasons, even though I live in California, my heart will always be in New Jersey.

(A new song starts up, Zach goes back into song, and Amy, Andy, Maya, and Kenan come out dressed as different landmarks of New Jersey.)

They say the Neon lights are bright on Route 17 in Paramus.

All: PARAMUS!

Zach Braff: They say that you can see the mall from there.

All: PARAMUS PARK MALL!

(Song stops)

Maya Rudolph: Um, Zach.

Zach Braff: Yes, Maya?

Maya Rudolph: We’re happy to do this but we don’t know what we’re supposed to be.

Zach Braff: What are you supposed to be?!?! Maya, you’re the Prudential Building, the best building in downtown Newark. Amy, you represent the Newark Airport. And Kenan you’re the Continental Airlines Arena where the Mets play! You guys are the most beloved landmarks in New Jersey!

Andy Samberg: And why am I a sandwhich? Not that I mind!

Zach Braff: Andy, you’re my favorite landmark of all. The Campus Sub Shop in South Orange, New Jersey.

Andy Samberg: Oh, cool, we got to go!

(Andy, Amy, Maya, and Kenan leave the stage and Zach breaks back into song)

Zach Braff: Take a bus to Secaucus, shop some Allen malls, use your EZ pass. Great views of Lady Liberty, if you prefer her ass. She’s actually in New Jersey. I’m taking the Holland Tunnel to the place where oil’s refined. I’m gonna break it down. I’m in a Neeeeeeewwwwwwwww Jersey a state of Miiiiiinnnnndddd!!!! Minnnnndddddd!!!! Miiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnd!!! We’ve got a great show, Maroon 5 is here! Stick around! We’ll be right back! Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnd!!!

[ open on exterior, high school ]

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs V/O: Alright, everyone, listen UP, okay?

[ dissolve to interior, classroom, prom committee meeting, students Beth “B.J.” Jacobs and Lauren “B.J.” Carlton addressing their classmates. Both girls speak in a weird drawl. ]

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Welcome to what I hope will be our final prom committee meeting. I’m Beth “B.J.” Jacobs — and, before you get any ideas, my name is Beth Jacobs, and that’s why I’m called B.J.

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: And I’m Lauren “B.J.” Carlton. [ chews on her pencil eraser and offers no follow-up explanation ]

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Guys, if it was up to us, none of you would be here, and Lauren and I would have picked the prom theme WEEKS ago! But, apparently, we at least have to hear your stupid ideas before we decide.

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Which we totaly didn’t wanna do!

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: I think I made that clear, B.J.

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Sorry, B.J.

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: By the way, our prom theme should absolutely be James Bond! It’s 2007! Double-0-7! God! Okay, first up, with our WORST suggestion, is Billy Zerillo.

[ Billy Zerillo, dressed in Mets uniform, stands ]

Billy Zerillo: Alright. So.. I LOVE the Mets! But every time I suggest a Mets-themed prom, you guys look at me like I’m CRAZY!! Well, here I go — final effort: [ pleadingly ] let’s do a Mets prom! Blue and orange streamers, hot dogs! My uncle knows Mookie Wilson — he cam come! Therefore, my theme is: “Remember the Night We Mets?” [ the room is silent ] Thank you.

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: We’re not even gonna say anything. We’re just gonna let you know what we think of your idea with our expressions: [ both girls give an open-mouthed empty stare with tongues hanging ]

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Good expression, B.J.

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Thanks, B.J.

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Next up, our valedictorian, Lyle Cane.

[ Lyle Cane, shy and mildly retarded, stands ]

Hi there, I’m Lyle Cane. Many of you don’t know me, as I’ve just recently start speaking at school. But I assure you I’m a pretty great guy. My mom will vouch for that. As for our prom theme, how about: “Getting to Know Lyle Cane”? You’ll find I am a super-genius who is allergic to all kinds of wheat. Thank you. I’m Lyle Cane. Mother? [ sits ]

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Great idea, Lyle.

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Good sarcasm, B.J.

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Thanks, B.J.! [ the low-five one another ]

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Next up, is Brian Bernstein.

[ Brian Bernstein, wearing oversized headphones, stands ]

Brian Bernstein: Looking out at all of you, I think, “Wow! What a generation we are!” And, then, I think, you know, I love James Bond, but what is THE movie of our generation? What is THE film that most spoke to our alienation in the infinite abyss that is our young lives?

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Ugghhhh!!! Are you gonna talk about “Garden State” again?

Brian Bernstein: Why shouldn’t we talk about “Garden State”? “Garden State” talked about us, right? Think about it — we could play the entire Grammy-winning soundtrack!

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: [ stunned ] That won a Grammy? It was, like, a pitchfork mix CD.

Brian Bernstein: I happen to know those songs were very carefully chosen.

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Okay, Brian, we’re moving on!

Brian Bernstein: Well, I don’t care what you guys say! That soundtrack changed my life. [ places his oversized headphones over his ears, sits and languishes the soundtrack within him ]

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Joining us now, are those two guys that smell like concerts — Scootch and Mando.

[ Scootch and Mando, a pair of stoners, stand ]

Mando: Hello!

Skootch: [ with an echo ] Hello, hello!

Mando: Is there anybody in there?

Skootch: Just nod if you can hear me!

Together: Is there anyone at ho-o-o-o-ommme??!!

Mando: Pink Floyd – The Wall theme!

Skootch: From nine p.m. until 420!

Mando: O-pen your bra-ains!

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Okay, guys? Thanks to my SAT Vocab pPrep courses, I have the perfect word to describe that idea: Yuck!

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Ha! Good one, B.J.

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Thanks, B.J.

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Next up, Beatrice Mitchell and her boyfriend, Stanley.

[ Beatrice Mitchell and Stanley, a pair of uptight virgins, stand ]

Beatrice Mitchell: Hi there.

Stanley: Hello.

Beatrice Mitchell: Our suggested theme is: “Worth The Wait.” A theme that could draw attention to what has been a very important issue to Stanley and I.

Stanley: As you know, Beatrice and I are believers in saving intimacy.. until.. after Prom.

Beatrice Mitchell: Marriage. Til after marriage.

Stanley: My mistake. Sorry.

Beatrice Mitchell: Stop making that mistake! Because you keep making that mistake, and it’s making me uncomfortable!

Stanley: I’m sorry. I love you, and waiting.. only makes.. that love.. stronger.

Beatrice Mitchell: That’s so sweet! [ pats his back ]

Stanley: [ becomes immediately aroused by her slight touch ] I’m sorry..

Beatrice Mitchell: Stanley!

[ she runs out of the room, as Stanley slowly and painfully follows ]

B.J. & B.J.: God! Gro-oss! Disgusting! [ a beat ] Next up, is Lomax!

[ Lomax, dressed in some sort of weird wizard’s garb, stands ]

Lomax: Hello! And thank you for your ironic support, ladies! I am here to say that I am uninterested in your prom, but would like to extend an invite to the Virtual Prom I will be holding on the shores of the River Asitoo! If you like mythical beasts and the realm of fantasy, it’s the prom for you! And, don’t worry — no Orks allowed! [ winks and grins ]

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Hey! Why don’t you and Lyle have a two-man weirdo prom together?

Lomax: Oh! Splendid idea! Lyle, can I interest you in a Virtual Prom?

Lyle Cane: No way! I want to go to a real Prom, and get lay for real.

Lomax: I wish you luck in your endevour. [ takes his seat ]

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Okay, so to recap

Mando: Hey! We didn’t get to go!

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: [ stares at them, open-mouthed ] Yes, you did.

Skootch: [ stares back open-mouthed ] Okay! [ smiles ]

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Okay. Your choices are: The Mets —

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Ugh!

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Meet Lyle Cane —

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Eugh!

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Napoleon Dynamite —

Brian Bernstein: It’s “Garden State”!

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: What-ev-er! Pink Floyd —

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Lame!

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Abstinence —

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Eugh!

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Virtual Prom —

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Yuk!

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: And, of course, James Bond!

Lauren “B.J.” Carlton: Ow!

Beth “B.J.” Jacobs: Now, expecting that it will be an eight-way tie again, we’ve decided to let Principal McDougal be the tie-breaking voice.

[ Principal McDougal casually saunters into the classroom. Because he’s in favor of the James Bond-themed prom, he is dressed as modern-day Sean Connery ]

Principal McDougal: Well, well, well! Quite the conundrum. So many marvelous themes to choose from. I’ve talked at length to all of you, but I believe the two B.J.s were the most convincing. Therefore, I’m proud to anounce that our Prom theme will be “Shaken.. and Stirred.”

B.J. & B.J.: Yaayyyyy!!!!

Weekend Update with Amy Poehler & Seth Meyers

…..Amy Poehler
…..Seth Meyers
Aunt Linda…..Kristen Wiig
Sam Waterson…..Fred Armisen
Whitney Houston…..Maya Rudolph

Announcer: “Weekend Update with Amy Poehler & Seth Meyers.”

Seth Meyers: I’m Seth Meyers

Amy Poehler: I’m Amy Poehler and here are tonight’s top stories.

Lt. General Douglas Lute, the Pentagon’s director of operations, was chosen to oversee the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan as a war czar. Lute was chosen after being the last one in the room yelling “Not It!”

The average national price of a gallon hit an all time record high of three dollars and fifteen cents this week. Meaning that where ever you’re going this summer, it might be cheaper to mail your car.

As part of a new immigration reform bill, illegal immigrants would get immediate legal status by paying a fee of 5,000 dollars. So, it looks like that jet ski will have to wait until next year, Horhey.

Seth Meyers: During a concert of the Virginia Symphony at the 400th anniversary celebration of Jamestown, president Bush briefly took over the orchestra, which explains why the orchestra is now 4 trillion dollars in debt.

The New York Police Department is deploying 10 segway scooters this week to patrol on pathways and parks in an effort to increase murder.

Amy Poehler: [murmurs] Clapping for murder. Well summer’s just around the corner and that means this year’s biggest movies are on the way. Here with her take on some of these films, is my Aunt Linda.

[Aunt Linda scoots out on a rolling chair]

Aunt Linda: [looking at a person off stage] I can push myself! And leave my purse where I can see it! [turns head forward]

Amy Poehler: Okay, hi, aunt Linda. Welcome back.

Aunt Linda: Hello, Amy. Hello, Seth.

Seth Meyers: Hi aunt Linda, you actually sound like you’re in a good mood.

Aunt Linda: Well, its spring so I’m happy. Isn’t that obvious? [rolls her eyes]

Amy Poehler: Okay, well, I heard there were a lot of good movies coming out.

Aunt Linda: You whaaaat? Well, I guess if you like sequels.For instance, another Pirates of the Caribbean?!? Well, I’ll see this one with two eye patches on. I’ll give this one a “Thar she blows”! And guess how many oceans they’ve made now!

Amy Poehler: Wait, what?

Aunt Linda: Oceans Thirteen! Did the first 12 do that well? Well, if they’re anything like the last 2, I give this one 13 “ghaas” and a “puhhhleez”. And of course, the highly anticipated Rush Hour 3. [rolls eyes]

Amy Poehler: Oh, yeah, that’s the one with Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan.

Aunt Linda: Yes, Amy, the infamous ethnic comedy duo have teamed up again. Well just from trailer, I give this movie a review that both its stars should appreciate: An “Oh no you didn’t” and a “De jong”.

Amy Poehler: De jong? What does that mean?

Aunt Linda: It’s Chinese for “oh brother”.

Amy Poehler: This has been uplifting, thank you so much, aunt Linda!

Aunt Linda: Yes, [looks back stage again] hand me my purse! [scoots away]

Amy Poehler: Aunt Linda, everybody!

Seth Meyers: For the second consecutive year, Miami has been named the city with the worst road rage. They hope to solve this next year with more cocaine and louder salsa music.

Amy Poehler: A new bird called the Gorgorded puffleg which is a blue and green throated humming bird was discovered in a cloud forest in Columbia… though still nothing on Bin Ladin.

Hundreds of girls stood in a line, Monday, in Manhattan, to audition for a role in the upcoming American Girl movie, which stars Abigail Breslin and nobody who stood in a line.

Seth Meyers: Fire Fighters in Alaska were called in to lift a 7,500 pound elephant that had laid down and refused to get up, because if there is one thing fire fighters know about, it’s elephants.

Amy Poehler: Sesame Workshop, the creators of Sesame Street, are in talks with Northern Ireland to bring the show up there. Producers have already made a new character for the show, called “Drink You Under the Table Elmo” [murmurs] I look forward to that.

NBC announced Monday, it will once again renew its long running drama series, Law & Order, which as near as I can tell, is about a kindly old grand-father who teaches cynicism to a series of super-models.

Seth Meyers: [looking the opposite direction of Amy] Oh oh, oh oh!

Amy Poehler: [whispers] What?!

Seth Meyers: [still looking the opposite direction of Amy] Sam Waterson is standing right behind you.

Amy Poehler: What? No! Damn it! No!

    Head writer Tina Fey and long-time cast member Rachel Dratch departed “SNL” to star in the prime-time series “30 Rock”, which poked fun at the behind-the-scenes humor of an “SNL”-like sketch comedy show.

    After much speculation by viewers, cast members Horatio Sanz and Finesse Mitchell were finally let go, as was Chris Parnell for the second time this century.

    Seth Meyers moved up the ranks to be become the new head writer (with Paula Pell and Andrew Steele as his co-horts) and Amy Poehler’s co-anchor on “Weekend Update.”

    Finally, Don Roy King took over as director.

    Mr. Danberg…..Jason Sudeikis
    Dr. Highsmith…..Kenan Thompson
    Spokesman…..Bill Hader
    Announcer…..Andy Samberg

    [FADE IN on a dark bedroom in which a woman is sleeping. Her husband steps quietly in, dressed in business attire, and closes the door softly. He slips quietly to a futon at the foot of the bed while she stirs awake.]

    Karen: Honey? Honey, is that you?

    Mr. Danberg: [unshoulders suit] I’m sorry, hon. I didn’t mean to wake ya.

    Karen: Oh, it’s okay. Oh, it’s so late.

    Mr. Danberg: Yeah, yeah, work. It’s killin’ me lately.

    Karen: But this is the third night in a row!

    Mr. Danberg: [stumbling a bit] Yeah, yeah, it–it’s been rough. [loosens tie] Y’know, I’m pretty bushed.

    Karen: [switches on light and stumbles out of bed] We need to talk.

    Mr. Danberg: Can it wait? You know, I’m tired.

    Karen: Well, I’m tired, too. [tearfully] I am tired of waiting up for you! I am tired of you staying late at work!

    Mr. Danberg: [bristles] Okay, I can’t help it, okay? We’ve talked about this.

    Karen: Why do you always smell like perfume?

    Mr. Danberg: [faking disbelief] What? Perfume? What–what do y–I don’t know! I mean–there’s ladies at work, that wear perfume, and I’m sure that’s it! You know? Gosh!

    Karen: I found… these.

    [She holds up a pair of baby blue, French-cut ladies’ underwear.]

    Mr. Danberg: Yeah, so?

    Karen: [tearfully] They were in your suit pocket!

    Mr. Danberg: Okay. Okay. Y’know, uh, that’s dumb. [laughs stupidly] We, uh, we were goofing around, and, uh… it’s just… things happen.

    Karen: Oh, please. Please!

    Mr. Danberg: I can’t do this anymore.

    Karen: What?

    Mr. Danberg: It’s not fair to you, it’s not fair to the kids… I’m done lying.

    Karen: [covers mouth and weeps] Oh, oh, my God…

    Mr. Danberg: I should have told you this a long time ago.

    [Dramatic pause while Karen sobs quietly.]

    Mr. Danberg: I’ve been diagnosed with Restless Penis Syndrome.

    [laughter]

    Mr. Danberg: RPS.

    Karen: What?

    Mr. Danberg: It’s a very well-known neurological condition, and it is… awful.

    Karen: I’ve, I’ve never even heard of it! You’re having an affair!

    Mr. Danberg: I wish it was that easy. I really do! Currently, there are no known cures for RPS. Restless Penis Syndrome.

    Karen: This is stupid! If you think for one second that I am buying this… this so-called Restless Penis Syndrome. Really? So you’re saying you can’t control what your penis is doing?

    Mr. Danberg: I haven’t been able to control it my entire life! I’ve never been able to. [painfully] And… I’m not sure if I ever will.

    Karen: No, I can’t believe this. I can’t believe you’re even trying this.

    Voice: I’m afraid it’s true, Karen.

    [Enter Dr. Highsmith carrying an old-fashioned doctor’s satchel.]

    Karen: Dr. Highsmith?

    Dr. Highsmith: Your husband is telling you the truth. You see, when I first diagnosed his RPS… Excuse me…

    [He plops down on the bed right next to Karen.]

    Dr. Highsmith: I thought maybe there was a chance. It might’ve been foolish of me, but I told him to let his penis do whatever it wanted to do. I thought it would get tired out, and no longer be restless.

    Karen: Why are you here?

    Dr. Highsmith: But letting it be restless has only made it more restless, I guess. I’m partly to blame for this. I mean, we just didn’t know enough about RPS in those days. I’m sorry.

    Karen: So–I’m just supposed to sit back and let his–your penis run wild all across town with as many women as it needs to?!

    Mr. Danberg: [touches her head tenderly] It’s a lot to ask, I know.

    Dr. Highsmith: I think you’re the bravest woman I know, Mrs. Danberg.

    Karen: Oh, come on!

    [After a pause, ZOOM OUT to reveal a commercial spokesman in the foreground to the right of the bed.]

    Spokesman: If you suffer from Restless Penis Syndrome, you’re not alone. RPS severely affects the lives of millions of Americans.

    Karen: What… what is happening now?

    [laughter]

    Mr. Danberg: We’re shooting a commercial for RPS.

    [Commercial music rises slowly in the background.]

    Karen: Are you kidding me? I don’t look–well, let me do something with my hair, you could have told me!

    [She pulls her hair back and grins in pleasant surprise.]

    Mr. Danberg: [chuckling] It’s okay, dear. You look amazing.

    Karen: A commercial? For RPS? That’s big stuff! [smiles]

    Mr. Danberg: It sure is, honey. It sure is.

    Dr. Highsmith: You look wonderful.

    Karen: Oh, thank you, Doctor.

    Dr. Highsmith: Um, you know, I also have Restless Penis Syndrome… [touches inside of her leg]

    Mr. Danberg: Hey, Highsmith? [shoos his hand away] Not part of the deal, buddy.

    Karen: Would you guys be quiet? And let the guy do the commercial. [gestures to spokesman]

    Spokesman: But now there’s hope. The RPS Foundation is committed to finding a cure for this debilitating disorder. With new medical breakthroughs happening every day, we think we may be just years away.

    Mr. Danberg: Decades.

    Spokesman: Decades away. Won’t you please support the RPS Foundation?

    [FADE to the RPS Foundation logo.]

    Announcer: Restless Penis Syndrome. With your help, we can beat this thing.

    Karen: [off camera] What? That sounded like your brother.

    Mr. Danberg: No, well, it wasn’t.

    [FADE to black over applause.]
