[Opens with an outside shot of the Target Center arena]
[ Caption: “Minneapolis, MN.” ]
[Cuts to the stage with two long-haired old school soft rock singers. The band behind them play a jangly soft rock song]
Dan: Good evening, everybody!
Jeffrey: Hello! Thank you all for coming.
Dan: Wow!
Jeffrey: Are you ready, Dan?
Dan: I’m always ready. Oh, yeah.
Dan and Jeffrey: [singing] “I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it? I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it? I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it?”
Jeffrey: Oh, remember this song?
Dan and Jeffrey: [singing] “I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it?”
[soft rock theme continues]
Dan: Thank you all so much for coming here tonight. It means so much to me and my brother Jeffrey.
Jeffrey: It sure does. [to the audience] Can you all see us? Even the people in the back? Is that–
Dan: Turn the house lights up a little. We want to see the crowd. [looks into the audience] Mmm, look at that. There aren’t that many people here tonight.
Jeffrey: It’s what professional singers describe as “lightly attended”.
Dan: There are pockets of people. I see a nice little crowd right over there. [points] Hello!
[Three people wander around the empty arena]
Jeffrey: Still, a few more people would’ve been nice. [pointing to the stands] It seems like whole sections are empty.
Dan: Whole sections… you know what? That’s okay. This is our hometown. And we love you!
Dan and Jeffrey: [singing] “I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it? I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it?”
Dan: Hello!
[soft rock theme continues]
Jeffrey: You know, this song hit the Top 200 on the Minnesota charts back in 1979. It’s our only song. How about that?
Dan: It was so nice seeing our name up there. “The Bjelland Brothers”. You know, printed local music magazine. We were shocked.
Jeffrey: Especially since the song itself was written fairly quickly, believe it or not.
Dan: It’s very true. I had sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to a woman I was very interested in…
Jeffrey: Very interested.
Dan: …and I didn’t hear back from her as to whether or not she got it. I was very depressed for about a year. Until one day I walked out into my garage and saw a bottle of sparkling apple juice underneath my table. So, as it turns out, I never sent it.
Jeffrey: He’s very forgetful.
Dan: But you know something? We did get this wonderful song out of it.
Jeffrey: We did.
Dan: What a wonderful thing that is! To write beautiful music.
Dan and Jeffrey: [singing] “I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it?”
Dan: [to the band] Say hello to our band. They’ve been working so hard on this 3-day tour.
Jeffrey: You know, we’ve lost a lot of money on this tour. A lot of money.
Dan: We bought two buses. You know how much a bus costs? We could’ve rented them, but I was just being show-offy in front of my new assistant. So dumb.
Jeffrey: [holding his arms in disbelief] We also hired a chef!
Dan: So stupid. You guys look like a really good crowd.
Jeffrey: They do…they do.
Dan: Do you guys want to sing along? Okay, bring the music down.
[music goes down]
Jeffrey: Bring it down, you guys. Bring the music down just a little.
Dan: [sings] “I sent a—” [holds microphone out into the audience]
Audience: “–bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it?”
Jeffrey: Oh!
[Dan and Jeffrey hold their microphones out to the audience]
Audience: “I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it? I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it?”
Dan: Bring it back up! [soft rock theme comes back stronger] This is the only song we’re doing tonight!
[cut to outside of the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN]
Dan and Jeffrey: “I sent a bottle of sparkling apple juice to your house…did you get it? I sent—”
Bryan Cranston: Ohhhhh, thanks to Kanye West! Pusha T! Morgan Freeman! Ernest Borgnine! Thank you, Lorne Michaels, this is the greatest cast in the world! I had the BEST week of my life! [ he blows a kiss to the audience ] I love you all!
[ dissolve to interior, basement, as Henry paints a mural on the wall ]
Henry: [ singing ] “Pegasus, Pegasus, I like your shape That’s because –”
Dad’s Voice: HENRY!!
Henry: Oh?
[ Dad enters the basement ]
Dad: Pegasus looks GREAT!
Henry: Thanks, Dad!
Dad: Hey, can I talk to you a minute, son?
Henry: Okay!
[ Henry puts his paint supplies down and steps closer to Dad ]
Dad: Now, I-I know the fifth grade can be rough — your mom tells me you’re getting picked on by some bullies.
Henry: Yeah! Today they somehow fit me into my own backpack!
Dad: Well, you’re WAY small.
Henry: Yeah, WAY small! Yeah, definitely the smallest boy. Probably smaller than ALL but a couple of girls!
Dad: That’s okay, because I’m gonna teach you how to defend yourself! You know why?
Henry: ‘Cause you were a Green Beret?
Dad: ‘Cause I was a Green Beret! And because I… love… YOU! Alright, Henry! Now — feet steady, hands up, eyes on the target, and COME AT ME!!
Henry: Okay!
[ Henry rushes toward his Dad, only to punched square in the forehead and dropped to the floor ]
Henry: OW!
Dad: Alright.
Henry: Ow, Dad!
Dad: Alright, Champ. Okay. You’re alright. Now, what happened there?
Henry: [ he catches his breath ] Yeah, let’s talk about it! Uhhh — I got my BUTT handed to me, right off the bat!
Dad: Yeah. Yeah. Now, now, what did you think you did wrong?
Henry: Well, I’ll be honest: I went in with LITTLE to NO strategy —
Dad: Ahhh…
Henry: Then, there was the whole punch-in-the-face moment, and it was pretty much just Lights Out from there!
Dad: Yeah, that’s right, Henry. And at what point did you lose the upper hand?
Henry: Ohhh, I’d say from the get-go, and then pretty much steadily throughout!
Dad: And what are you gonna do right now?
Henry: Well… my suggestion is that we both step away from this for about an hour, maybe process this. That way, I can get back to my mural.
Dad: Or: You can come at me EVEN HARDER!
Henry: Okay.
Dad: Now, WHAT are you?!
Henry: Small!
Dad: What do want to BE?!
Henry: Strong!
Dad: HOW are you gonna do that?!
Henry: I’m gonna fight and win!
Dad: NOW!! COME AT ME!!
Henry: Okay!
[ Henry rushes forward, but Dad is able to hold him back with one arm stretched outward ]
Henry: OW!! OW!! Dad — Ow!
[ suddenly, Dad knocks Henry to the floor with a suckerpunch ]
Dad: Aw, Henry, dammit! Are you okay?
Henry: Yes. But — ow!
Dad: Oh, now what happened there, Champ, huh?
Henry: Let’s see — Once again, I got ABSOLUTELY dominated —
Dad: Yeah, you got ABSOLUTELY dominated! Now, WHY did you let me DO that?!
Henry: Well, that time I was focused on staing on the balls of my feet —
Dad: Ah!
Henry: So THAT all checked out.
Dad: Uh-huh.
Henry: But that I-was-punched-in-the-face time, and I just have NO answer for that!
Dad: Now, Henry, you gotta keep your arms UP!
Henry: Right! Again, Dad, I feel like everything you’re saying makes perfect sense on paper… but, when I’m actually IN the fight —
Dad: It’s a lot harder.
Henry: It’s a LOT harder, yeah! I get tired, like, almost immediately. If I’m being completely honest, there ARE moments during the fight when I wish I was doing ANYTHING else! And, again, there’s just a WHOLE lot of thinking about my mural!
Dad: Oh, yeah — and it SHOWS! Now, I need to hear it again: What are you?
Henry: Small!
Dad: What do you wanna be?
Henry: A mural artist?
Dad: [ disgusted ] HEN-RYYYY!
Henry: Strong!
Dad: Now, okay! What should you do with FEAR?!
Henry: Have less of it?
Dad: Right! Right! Right! So come on — let’s DO thiS! KNOCK! ME! OUT!
Henry: Okay!
[ Henry lunges toward his dad, but is immediately placed in a chokehold ]
Henry: Oh..!
Dad: Now, Henry — why’d you — why’d you let me get you in a chokehold?
Henry: Uhhh — you’re asking me to take myself OUT of the situation —
Dad: Uh-huh?
Henry: But I’m STILL very much IN it! Also, could you let go? ‘Cause I think my face is starting to DIE!
Dad: Whoa, whoa, whoa…
Mom’s Voice: Boys! Dinner’s ready!
Henry: Good!
[ Dad releass his grip on Henry ]
Dad: Okay, we’ll be up in a minute! [ to Henry ] Okay. Ready?
[ Dad lays another suckerpunch across Henry’s face and drops him to the floor ]
Henry: Oh!
Dad: Alright, Son. Now, what happened there, Henry?
Henry: I don’t knoooowwww. I mean, looking back, I’m very PROUD of my performance. I did EVERYTHING right. I mean, in the end, it just came down to superior size and strength!
Dad: Well, obviously, this is gonna take some time. But, I gotta say, you are improving crazy-fast!
Henry: Yeah! I’m improving CRAZY-Fast!
Dad: [ chuckling ] And I LOVE you, buddy, but you’re WAY small!
Henry: WAY small!
[ Dad wraps his arm around Henry and peads the boys upstairs ]

Girl V/O: I was at the club with some friends. That’s when it happened: [ she clutches her stomach ] This burning sensation.
Voiceover: In-di-ges-tionnnn!
Girl V/O: I was ready to go home. [ Bartender brings a tray toward her ] Then I heard about Pepto-Bismol Ice. [ the thick pink beverage is poured into a glass ] The only antacid that’s also a malt licquor.
Voiceover: Pep-to-Bis-mol Icccccce!
[ diagram of human figure as pink liquid pours down the throat into the stomach, then bounces back toward the brain ]
Girl V/O: Just one sip, and you’ll taste the relief. Pepto-Bismol Ice gives you relief from your stomach pain and fills your brain with a low-grade alcohol.
[ show girl dancing in the club with a bottle of Pepto-Bismol Ice in her hand ]
[ SUPER: “Enjoy Pepto Bismol Ice responsibly.” ]
Girl V/O: Pepto-Bismol ice got me off the toilet… and onto the dance floor!

Girl: [ shouting ] It kills the bacteria that causes diarrhea!
Guy: [ shouting ] Nice!
[ they begin to make out ]
[ cut to Bartender pouring a fresh glass of Pepto-Bismol Ice ]
Girl V/O: Pepto-Bismol Ice. Keep the party out of your pants.
President Barack Obama…..Fred Armisen Rahm Emanuel…..Andy Samberg Peter Rouse…..Bobby Moynihan
[ open on C-Span “Next” card ]
Announcer: Next on C-SPAN: Yesterday, at a special ceremony, Rahm Emanuel officially stepped down as White House Chief of Staff.
[ dissolve to President Barack Obama behind podium, flanked by a confident Rahm Emanuel and timid Peter Rouse ]
President Barack Obama: Thank you. Thank you. Hello. Uh, good morning. Uh, today my administration says goodbye to a friend… a fighter… a warrior. A man you want in your corner when the going gets rough. A man who won’t take “No” for an answer. A man who has twisted a few arms and, uh, poked a few chests. A man who knows no fear, but knows how to make others afraid. You know him as Rahm Emanuel, but, to me, he will always be Rahmbo.
[ the two men bump fists ]
Uhh, Rahm will be replaced as White House Chief of Staff by Peter Rouse. Uh, Pete hails from Connecticut and is a lover of cats. [ Rouse shies away ] Come on back, Pete. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Uh, but enough about me. Today belongs to Rahm. Rahm?
Rahm Emanuel: Thank you, Mr. President. As the president reminded us just now, I do have a certain reputation amongst my colleagues in the administration and Congress. Now, has my manner sometimes been a bit aggressive? Probably. Could my personality be fairly described as abrasive? Yes, it could. Do I lack even basic social skills? Absolutely. Does a little bit of me go a long way? Indeed, it does. In my job, have I at times used ugly strong-arm methods to get support for this president’s agenda? Guilty as charged. But, remember: there’s a big difference between arguing a point passionately and committing actual physical violence. And that’s a difference I completely lost sight of. Not in every case, but almost. And for that I am truly very sorry. Now, Pete? Come here. Come here, buddy.
[ Rouse reluctantly inches closer ]
If there’s one piece of advice that I can give to you, it’s this: Everyone in Washington is trying to kill you! All! The! Time! And it’s kill or be killed. Are you ready to kill a man, Pete?
[ Rouse shakes his head with fear ]
Are you ready to choke a man over a vote?
Peter Rouse: [ whimpering ] I don’t think so!
Rahm Emanuel: ‘Cause this is prison rules now, baby! Olay? On the first day, you gotta walk up to the biggest congressman you can find and say, ‘Nice to meet you.’ And when he goes to shake your hand, you STAB him in the NECK with a pencil! And then you scream, for everyone to hear: “I am Pete Rouse! But you can call me King f’n Kong! If any of you ladies got a problem with that, I will FIGHT you in the men’s room!” You ready to be King Kong, Pete?
Peter Rouse: [ crying ] No-o-o!
Rahm Emanuel: Are you ready to let the part of you that’s human die?
Peter Rouse: No! I don’t think I want this job any more…
Rahm Emanuel: You can’t cry, buddy. Okay? If you cry, it’s over. If you cry, it’s shawshank! Here. I want you to have this. [ he holds up a razor blade ] It’s a razor blade. Keep it in your mouth. Hopefully, you’ll never have to use it, but it’s still nice to feel the metal against your gums.
Peter Rouse: [ crying, as he removes the blade from his mouth ] I wanna go ho-o-ome!
Rahm Emanuel: [ he puts his finger on Rouse’s lips ] Shhhh, shhhh! [ whispering ] You have no home now. Home is for people. But you? You’re a monster.
[ Emanuel kisses Rouse’s forehead, then shoves him off-screen ]
Today I am leaving the hardest and the best job I’ve ever had. Now, did I make a difference? I hope so. I do know one thing for certain: [ he sniffles ] I made a lot of friends. [ he looks off-screen ] What’s that? I didn’t? Really? No friends at all? Right. Because of my personality. [ he tsks ] Well, there’s not much more else to say. I want once again to thank the president for this opportunity, and to wish him good luck dealing with the new angry Republican majorities in Congress. On that score, I’m sure Pete will do just fine.
[ Rouse continues to cry ]
And, one last thing: “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
[ tag (over black screen): “An SNL Digital Short” ]
[ dissolve to the sounds of a door being kicked in ]
[ Homeowner wakes up in distress to the noise, looks at his clock to see it’s 3:24 in the morning, then looks out the bedroom window to see two burglars scurrying past ]
[ the Homeowner jumps out of bed, grabs his cellphone and quickly dials 9-1-1 ]
[ by now, the burglars are inside the house and closing in, so the Homeowner scoots under his bed ]
Voice: 9-1-1. What’s your emergency?
[ from ground level, the burglars can be seen entering the bedroom ]
Voice: Hello?
[ the Homeowner hangs up his cellphone ]
Burglar #1: Did you hear that?
Burglar #2: What? It’s nothing. Just get the stuff.
Burglar #1: Okay.
[ the burglars exit the bedroom ]
[ trying to keep quiet, the Homeowner pulls up an “Emergency 9-1-1′ app on his cellphone and presses the button ]
[Opens with a black businessman entering a hotel room. He puts his bags down, loosens his tie, he’s ready to go to bed in his pajamas]
Announcer: Traveling can be tough. Especially if you find it difficult to sleep in a strange room. You’ve tried white noise machines, but they just don’t work.
[Black businessman tosses and turns in his bed, unable to sleep]
Announcer: That’s why Sharper Image has created the I-Sleep Pro.
[Black businessman holds the little machine up]
Announcer: The I-Sleep Pro not only has a setting for White Noise… but also one for Black Noise.
[Black businessman sets dial on the I-Sleep Pro machine to Black Noise and goes to bed]
Announcer: Now you have the soothing sounds you’re used to. Sounds like muffled Tyler Perry sitcoms.
[ Caption: “Muffled Tyler Perry Sitcoms.” ]
[Black businessman is fast asleep with the muffled sounds]
[2:23 a.m.]
Voice from Sitcom: [muffled] What if he comes in?! What if he comes in?!
Voice: [muffled] I wish tha’ fool wou’ come in!
Announcer: An old lady complaining about foot problems through the wall.
[ Caption: “Old Lady Complaining About Foot Problems.” ]
Voice: [muffled] Lord Jesus! I can’t walk on it no mo’!
Announcer: Bass.
[ Caption: “Bass.” ]
[4:52 a.m.]
[Sounds of muffled rap heavy bass. Thump, thump, thump. Black businessman sleeps like a baby]
Announcer: Domestic arguments.
[ Caption: “Domestic arguments.” ]
Female Voice: [muffled] I told ya’! I don’t know him!
Male Voice: [muffled] You lie!
Announcer: And the movie “Friday”.
Voice of Ice Cube: [muffled] You think he playin’ wit’ you?!
Voice of Chris Tucker: [muffled] Man, that fool ain’t goin’ do nothin’!
Announcer: So you can get the rest you need. And get ready to take on the world.
[Black businessman is all relaxed in his business suit getting ready to leave his hotel room. He smiles.]
Announcer: I-Sleep-Pro. Get the sleep you need.
