[ she steps aside, as Principal Frye steps forward ]
Principal Frye: [ blowing into microphone and clicking his teeth ] Attention teachers and students… It has come to my attention… that several of y’all have stolen the Whack-a-Mole mallets! And have taken it upon yourselves to chase homeless people off the property! Students, it’s called Whack-a-MOLE, not Whack-a-BUM! Also: One of y’all has taken off all your clothes, and is currently parading around in a cotton candy thong! I hope that’s cotton candy! Otherwise, you need to go see a d-d-d-d-d-doctor or something! Thank you, teachers and students!
[ he steps aside, as Teacher reappears ]
Teacher: And here is the first year teacher who volunteered to be in the Dunk Tank — Miss Terry!
[ she steps aside, as Miss Terry steps forward ]
Miss Terry: Hey, guys! What a great carnival! I didn’t know that three dogs in the back of an SUV could be considered a petting zoo! Now, I know I failed most of you’s on your midterms, and I called your parents, but I really think it’s gonna help you in the long run. So, let’s have fun! I’m gonna be right over there in the Dunk Tank, I hope some of you will — Oh, look! There’s already a line forming! I’ve been practicing my insults to inspire you: “You’re a stinky botom!” [ she laughs ] J.K.! Alright, see you all over there!
[ she steps aside, as Teacher reappears ]
Teacher: Thank you, Miss Terry. and now, we would like to — [ Principal Frye reappears ] Oh!
Principal Frye: [ blowing into microphone and clicking his teeth ] Attention teachers and students… Several of y’all have been caught fornicating in the funhouse! Unfortunately, there are so many mirrors in there, I can’t tell if there’s two of y’all or a full-on ORGY! Our beloved school secretatry, Miss Janice, who lived through the 70’s, was STILL hocked by this sordid display and fainted on sight! Also: There’s a possum posing as a Churro’s vendor… so if you’re looking for a snack, I would suggest a f-f-f-f-f-funnel cake! Thank you, teachers and students!
[ he steps aside, as Teacher reappears ]
Teacher: Thank you, Principal Frye!

Not a freakin’ plugged-in computer printer! One of youse even turned on a HOSE! On a BLACK lady! Know your history! You little ass baskets! That water was DISGUSTING!

Somebody always gets stabbed! That sound nice? Huh?! Well, then, SHUT THE HELL UP and play some WHACK-A-MOLE!!
[ he starts to step away, as Principal Frye suddenly pops up from below frame ]
Principal Frye: Attention teachers and students!! Somebody has put a Nerf Shark in the apple-bobbing barrel! Students, these are normally docile animals, but one of you jive-time Tom turkeys put a can of Red Bull in there! And now the shark is behaving very aggressively, and seems eager to check things off his To-Do List! So let’s please, please do not go bobbing for apples if you value the lips on your face!

Man V/O: Oh, we’re also gonna need two ambulances to wheel us out of here when we’re done! [ he laughs ] Just because of all the sugar… Of all the sugar… Of all the sugar…
[ scene morphs back into the ice cream shop ]
Man: Sorry, didn’t mean to, uh, give you too much to think about. Just the ice cream would be fine.

[ the Manager and Clerk test the ice cream for sugar intake, eventually going so far as to require assistance from paramedics, who burst into the ice cream shop in real-time to revive them, as the stunned couple watch ]
Paramedics: Hey, what the hell happened here?!
Man: Nothing! We were just ORDERING ice cream, and then I made a JOKE about needing tow ambulances to take us out of here!

[ dissolve to interior, Oval Office ]
President Barack Obama: Alright, now, uh… Give it to me straight.
Press Secretary: Well, Mr. President, uh… as your Press Secretary, I have to be honest: It has not been a good week. But, on the plus side, you have a state dinner tonight, and all of your biggest supporters are gonna be here.

Michelle Obama: And Kenan won’t…?
President Barack Obama: No.
Michelle Obama: Well… In that case, I will leave, and, in a few minutes, Oprah will be here!
Announcer: [ over SUPER ] The producers at “Saturday Night Live” would like to apologize to Kerry Washington for the number of black women she will be asked to play tonight. We made these requests both because Ms. Washington is an actress of considerable range and talent and also because “SNL” does not currently have a black woman in the cast. As for the latter reason, we agree this is not an ideal situation and look forward to rectifying it in the near future… unless, of course, we fall in love with another white guy first.
[ suddenly, Oprah Winfrey rushes into the Oval Office ]
Oprah Winfrey: I’m HEEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEE!!
President Barack Obama: Oprah! I mean… It’s so good to see you! Uh, are you okay? You seem a little WINDED!

Oprah Winfrey: Don’t even!
Press Secretary: Um… She’d love to pop in and say Hello?
Oprah Winfrey: Is Jay-Z with her?
President Barack Obama: Uh… no! [ he shakes his head furiously ]
Oprah Winfrey: Okay. Well, then… I should get going!
Press Secretary: Oh! [ yelling toward the hall ] I hope she’s wearing that SPARKLY DRESS WITH ALL THE SEQUINS?!
Voice of Kerry Washington: She’s wearing a BATH ROBE!!!
Press Secretary: That’s good, too! That’s good, too. [ he checks his watch and tries to stall ] It’s such a nice office! [ he chuckles nervously ]
President Barack Obama: I mean, the BEST, huh? I don’t know why, uh, more offices aren’t oval.
Press Secretary: You know, I’ve thought that before!
President Barack Obama: So, uh… while we’re waiting, is, uh… is there anyone else out there?
Press Secretary: You know what? I’ll check. [ he runs toward the door ] Uhhhh, actually, uh… This is very, very exciting: There are SIX different Matthew McConaugheys!
[ he opens the door to let in the six Matthew McConaugheys ]
Matthew McConaugheys: Alright…! Alright…! Alright…! Alright…! Alright…!
President Barack Obama: Alright! I see this is gonna be a great party!

Thomas Roberts: There sure are, and then, there are the contestants.
(They laugh, extremely fake.)
Co-Host: I don’t even
Thomas Roberts: I’m just reading from the prompter.
Co-Host: Okay. Of course, the big story tonight is the last minute inclusion of a few new countries to the pageant.
Thomas Roberts: Can the contestants from these less-developed nations handle the pressures of being on the world stage?
Co-Host: Speaking of which, here comes Miss Moldova now.
Thomas Roberts: Who is not supposed to be approaching us. Okay
(Miss Modolva, wearing a tacky 70s-style shag dress, steals the Co-Host’s microphone)
Miss Moldova: Okay, First of all, I am so much proud to win contest!
Co-Host: (Trying to grab back microphone) Oh no, you haven’t won yet
Miss Moldova: (Fighting her off) Okay I want to thank food for being backstage, I want to thank Prison, for, uh, taking my husband and making him a shell of a man, and uh

Co-Host: Hmm. Well she’s a lot of misplaced enthusiasm.
Thomas Roberts: Indeed, and speaking of enthusiasm, it appears the talent portion of the show is about to begin with Miss Spain.
(Miss Spain enters and sings. About a line into her song, Miss Uganda wanders onstage, confused and angry.)
Miss Spain: (singing) Romanza .Romanza Romanza is romance to me .
(Miss Uganda grabs the mike. The music stops.)
Miss Uganda: What is this? This is not right. Why is she? What are they? Who is he? How is she? When are we?

(She storms off as the cohost enters.)
Thomas Roberts: Okay, Miss Uganda, everyone. She is keeping the dress.
Co-Host: Well, these fringe countries are certainly making an impact.
Thomas Roberts: Which is odd, because I thought fringe was out of fashion!
(They laugh, hugely forced)
Co-Host: I laughed because I hate silence.
(Suddenly Miss Boliva, her nose covered in White Powder, lurches on and grabs the Host’s microphone.)
Miss Bolivia: (Twitchy and coked-up) Okay, here we go, Party! Yeah! Everyone say party for Miss Bolivia tonight! WOOOO!
Thomas Roberts: Miss Bolivia, Miss Bolivia you –

Co-Host: Okay
Miss Bolivia: And remember, like a tiger always say: Come into the Jungle, is fine. But is not fine, IS A TRAP!
(She gives the mic back and Passionately french-kisses the Co-Host. She walks off stage, giving the camera a thumbs-up.)
Co-Host: (Stunned) Wow! Wow, she has a really long tongue!
Thomas Roberts: Okay, Well here to get us back on track is a perennial finalist here at Miss Universe, Miss Switzerland.
(They exit. Miss Switzerland, a beautiful, demure blonde, enters to jazzy music.)
Miss Switzerland: My talent is my sit-up comedy! I have a joke I say: In Switzerland, we love cheese; unless you’re cutting it. Thank you!
(With a cry, Miss Greenland runs onstage and karate chops Miss Switzerland. She picks up the mic.)
Miss Greenland: I’m from North Greenland
Thomas Roberts: (Running On) Okay, Miss Greenland, you can’t –
Miss Greenland: Now there are three of us up there and I am the woman!
Thomas Roberts: (As the Co-Host enters) Alright but we don’t-We do not the other contestants!
Miss Greenland: (ignoring him) My Talent is that I can fit my entire hand and arm in my mouth. (She attempts to shove her hand in her mouth, to the shock and disgust of the hosts)
Thomas Roberts: Please don’t do that.
Co-Host: No no no.
Miss Greenland: I need someone to bring me a hammer so I can break my jaw with it!
Co-Host: You know what, let’s take a quick break, and let’s have you stand near the Off part of the stage!
(Miss Greenland, still attempting to shove her hand in her mouth, is escorted off by two officials. Miss Moldova, holding food, reenters)
Thomas Roberts: Yes please. Thank you miss- (Noticing Miss Moldova) Oh, she’s-
Miss Moldova: Hey, Donkey back in Moldova! Look who has bagel and grapes! Now maybe I ride YOU to work!
Miss Uganda: (Wandering on again and grabbing the Co-Host’s Mike) Who is this? Why is she?

Co-op President: Welcome, Kevin and Nancy. So we’ve looked over your financials and your references, and they both look very good, so at this point, the only thing left before you become tenants in this building is today’s interview with our co-op board.
Kevin: Great!
Nancy: Exciting!
Co-op President: Now, I know everyone has New York Co-op Board horror stories, but I promise you we are a very laid-back bunch. And we’re gonna start with you, Judy.
Judy: Okay, I’m Judy, and this is my husband, Sy. Our apartment is next to yours, so our question is about noise. What is the volume of your lovemaking?
Kevin: [ confused ] I’m sorry?
Judy: Your lovemaking? Now, the walls are fairly THICK, so if it’s in this range… [ she moans softly ] We’re not gonna have a problem.
Sy: And if it’s a little louder, say: [ he moans slightly louder ] We’d also be fine with that!
Judy: Now, were it to get up here, like: [ they maon together at a slightly louder level still ] We’re still good with that!
Co-op President: Okay, guys, do you have a question?
Judy: Mmm, just a statement: The sky’s the limit.
Co-op President: Okay, alright, uh… Next question. Roz, you’re up.
Roz: Yes. Do you have pets?
Nancy: Yes, we have a dog.
Roz: And when your dog does his business, does he do it inside the house or outside the house?
Nancy: he does his business outside!
Roz: Well, that’s something your dog and I have in common!
Co-op President: Roz, do you have a question?
Roz: Yeah, where do we get our mail?!
Co-op President: Come on, Roz!
Tenant #1: I have a question. [ she stomps the table with her hands ] Have you seen the film “My Cousin Vinny”?
Kevin: Yes.
Nancy: Yeah.
Tenant #1: And do you by any chance know who Marisa Tomei’s character was based on?
Nancy: No. Um, who was she based on?
Tenant #1: I don’t know, I’m asking you.
Kevin: Oh. We don’t know.
Tenant #2: Oh! Question! Question! Do you have children? Because I have one! I just had her!
Nancy: Oh! Congratulations!
Tenant #2: Thank you very much! I love my REAL baby! [ she holds up a broccoli head ] Isn’t she beautiful? She gives my whole life meaning! And the BEST part is: Oh, you’re never alone when you have a baby!
Kevin: Uh… Well, that’s very nice, but we’re not quite ready to be parents — especially not in this apartment building.
Tenant #2: Well, don’t wait too long. You could wake up one day and find our you’re too OLD to have a baby! That almost happened to me! [ she takes a bite of her baby broccoli head ]
Co-op President: Alright, is there someone else here who has a question?
Ryan: Oh hey, guys. I’m Ryan, and I apologize for the eccentric behavior of the board.
Couple: That’s okay!
Ryan: I don’t really have a question. I just wanted to let you know that if you live here, there is private access to the garden. I have the key, so if you need it, just come to my apartment.
Nancy: Great! Thanks, Ryan.
Ryan: I keep the key on a chain… that I wear around my waist. It, uh — it hangs on a piece of thread… it’s around six inches long… and, uh, I tuck it behind something… just to keep it safe. And, you know, if I’m sleeping… just feel free to lift that something up and grab it.
Kevin: Oh. I, uh… I bet we won’t.
Ryan: Well. If you change your mind… it’s always behind my testicles.
Co-op President: Okay, that about wraps up our interview, and I think we all agree that you would be a perfect fit.
Nancy: Well, it is a great price… so I think we’re gonna move in!
Co-op President: Excellent! You can pick up your key from Ryan.
Ryan: Yes, I have your housekey! It’s on a different chain, that hangs from the back of my belt.
