    Announcer V/O: “Civil War Memories”. Ordinary Americans who never completed high school look back at the war between the states.

    Part 6: The Battle for Charleston.

    [ dissolve to illustrations of the Civil War battles ]

    The Battle for Charleston, South Carolina, was one of paramount importance for both the Union and the Confederacy. Charleston was the jewel of the South; and, for the North, the road to victory led inevitably through its streets.

    [ dissolve to Richard Panero, a crossing guard ]

    Richard Panero: General Lee knew if he lost Charleston, the war was over. But the odds were against him, because the Norh had a lot more troops, faster horses, much bigger tanks, jets, planes and Scud missles.

    [ dissolve to illustrations of the Civil War battles ]

    Announcer V/O: Indeed, the North’s firepower far exceeded that of the South. But the South had one key advantage over Generl Sherman’s Union forces.

    [ dissolve to Denise Tompkins, a laundromat supervisor ]

    Denise Tompkins: Advantage? I don’t know! It’s what, the 1800’s and something, right? So, maybe the Southern people, ’cause they live there and stuff, know where to hide! And the North’s people couldn’t find them, ’cause they don’t live there! Duh!

    [ dissolve to illustrations of the Civil War battles ]

    Announcer V/O: Knowledge of the terrain didn’t prove a key advantage for the South and its wily commander, General Robert E. Lee.

    [ dissolve to Damon Watson, an exotic dancer ]

    Damon Watson: General Lee was nobody’s fool! I remember he said to the troops, “Boys, ask not what your country can do for you, ’cause the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. I have a dream!” So, when Limcoln heard that, he was, like, “I better hightail it to Charleston, ’cause it’s time for one of my Gettysburg addresses.”

    [ dissolve to illustrations of the Civil War battles ]

    Announcer V/O: In August 1863, Union guns opened fire, setting much of downtown Charleston ablaze.

    [ dissolve to Craig Schenk, a sporting goods salesman ]

    Craig Schenk: The North was shooting these guns, and.. taking people, and they were, like, “Let’s get it on!!” And the other guys were, like, “No way!!” It was sick! Then the North went.. [ motioning with his arms ] ..Wham! Wham! Wham!!

    [ dissolve to James Barone ]

    James Barone: And the number of casualties was staggering, right? But it was worse for the South, ’cause the North started getting help from these alien spaceships, right? And no martian’s gonna hold off against those space torpedos. Fuggidaboutit! Right? Ohhh!

    [ dissolve back to Craig Schenk ]

    Craig Schenk: Wham! Wham.. wham!! And then this southern plugged this Nazi guy in a headlock! And started pounding him! [ demonstrates ] Bam! Bam bam bam bam!!

    [ dissolve to illustrations of the Civil War battles ]

    Announcer V/O: General Lee’s battle-wary troops fought bravely.. but they were no for General Sherman’s neo-Nazi reserves.

    [ cut to footage of a Nazi army casting “Heil!” to Hitler ]

    These men fared even worse against the ray guns of the Martian flying saucers.

    [ dissolve to illustrations of the Civil War battles, with “Star Wars” music potted over ]

    General Lee knew the end of Charleston was near.

    [ dissolve to Eric Milligan, a highway worker ]

    Eric Milligan: I like to eat the Charleston Chew candy bar. [ laughs ] See? Charleston Chew. [ holds up his chewy candy bar ] Like the battle of Charleston – same thing. That’s why I eat ’em! [ chews his Charleston Chew, with a smile ] Chewy.

    [ dissolve back to Craig Schenk ]

    Craig Schenk: [ still ] And then, finally, there was this one Southern guy left! And he was up against, like, 2,000 ninjas.. and he yells out, “Do ya feel lucky, punk?! Well, do ya?” And then, uh.. this Arab guy pulls Indy’s heart out of his chest and shows it to him! Right in his face! [ ] Ahh, swear to God!

    [ dissolve to Rajneesh Singh, a crossing guard ]

    Rajneesh Singh: General Lee was crazy. He fights like a woman! The South loses everything. Abraham Lincoln was a very smart man. He won the war and got on the five-dollar bill, like I would like to be someday!

    [ dissolve to illustrations of the Civil War battles ]

    Announcer V/O: General Lee’s longtime belief, that fighting like a woman would win him a place on the five-dollar bill, proved unfounded. The Confederacy’s days were numbered.

    [ dissolve to Denise Tompkins ]

    Denise Tompkins: I went to Myrtle Beach once – right? Which is right near Charleston. And I’m in the water, right? Looking at some guy, um.. when this huge wave hits me, and my bathing falls off and I’m standing there, my whole ass is hanging out! [ laughs about the incident ] And that was the end of that!

    [ dissolve to illustrations of the Civil War battles ]

    Announcer V/O: On April 9th, 1865.. General Robert E. Lee officially surrended to General Grant. But it wasn’t until May 27th, 1992, when a Myrtle Beach wave knocked Denise Tompkins’ bathing suit off, and her whole ass was hanging out, that the war between the States was officially brought to an end.

    Customer #3: [ not what he wanted ] Uhh.. yeah. you don’t have any plastic puke, would you? With chunks in it?

    Lyle: No. We.. only sell.. funny strange things in this store. You can look around.

    Customer #3: Well.. plastic puke is pretty strange, if you aks me.

    Lyle: [ with clenched teeth ] I warn you, Laslo.. get out of my store.. I have no patience for you today..

    Jesse Helms Press Conference

    Sen. Jesse Helms..Mike Myers
    Reporter #1…..Michael McKean
    Reporter #2…..Ellen Cleghorne
    Reporter #3…..Kevin Nealon


    Announcer: Next on C-Span, Sen. Jesse Helms holds a press conference, to explain threatening remarks he made last week about President Clinton.

    Sen. Jesse Helms: Good afternoon, thank you all for coming. I just want to set a few things straight. First of all, it is true – I did tell a newspaper reporter, “If the President comes to North Carlina, he’d better bring a bodyguard.” Now, sooome people thought that was inappropriate, indicating that I’d like to see the President harmed. Well, if that were true, why did I tell him to bring a bodyguard?! It doesn’t make sense! If I wanted him harmed, I’d tell him not to bring a bodyguard! Unless you’re, you’re thinking I was using some kind of “reverse psychology”. But I don’t uuuuse “reverse psychology” – or do I? You don’t know what I’m thinking! Alright, let’s move on to some much more imoportant issues, such as my bill to replace Martin Luther King’s birthday with National tobacco Day. [ reporters start waving their hands and attracting Helms’ attention ] Yes?

    Reporter #1: Senator Helms, do you intend to apologize personally to the President and Mrs. Clinton.

    Sen. Jesse Helms: Well, let me just say a little something to Hillary Clinton: If the First-Lady comes to North Carolina, she should alos bring a bodyguard! She’s gonna need round-the-clock security protecting her be-hind. And I need not remind you, that is a pretty big be-hind! [ laughs ] Yes! Yes!

    Reporter #2: Senator, how can you talk about our First Lady like that? She’s a wife and a mother!

    Sen. Jesse Helms: Oh, she’s a mother, all right! [ chuckles ] And, I’ll tell you something, I’ve got some advice for that daughter of hers – Chelsea, don’t stand too close to Al Gore. He’s a marked man! and all I’m saying is: Accidents happen. Vice-Presidents get struck by lightning.. air conditioners fall onto Vice-Presidents’ heads.. Vice-Presidents get hit by poisonous blowdarts.. All I’m saying is “Watch it!” Okay? And that goes for the Gore girls, too! If I were the Gore girls, I’d have my brakes checked! You don’t want to be driving down a winding North Carolina road at night, and some other car starts banging into you and.. runs you off the road, and sends your car flying into some ditch.. It’s a crazy world out there, and nowhere’s crazier than North Carolina! [ reports clamor for Helms’ attention ] Yes! Yes!

    Reporter #3: Senator, you’ve covered almost everyone in the White House except Socks the Cat! Do you plan to threaten her, too? [ laughs ]

    Sen. Jesse Helms: Socks! I got a little piece of advice for you! Careful what you eat! Now, I’m not saying another word on the subject, except this – strictnine. Oh. And the best way to kill Socks the Cat? “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

[ her audience shows their excitement. Yeah. I couldn’t make this stuff up, folks. [ puts the box away ] Alright.. let’s bring out our first guest. She’s doing a dime for armed robbery, and in addition to being a very talented tattoo artist, you may kbow her as the woman who owns me – please give a Cellblock 6 welcome to Pauline!

    Pauline: Ahhh.

    Bobby Blake: Now, how did you feel when you got caught.

    Pauline: Well, I felt pretty bad, but.. if I hadn’t got caught, I never would have met you, Honey Pot!

    Cheryl Houston: A pack of Kools.

    Bobby Blake: So, is that it?

    Cheryl Houston: No, I got one more thing – don’t think I can show it here, though. It’s a vibrator that’s never been used.

    [ the crowd voices their disagreement: “Yeah, right!” ]

    Roseanne’s Monologue

    …..Roseanne


    Roseanne: Thank you very much! Thank you! Thank you so much! I love New York when it’s co-old! You can hardly smell the urine rom the subway! And if you step in dog crap, who cares, it’s FROZEN! Well, I just survived another heap of dog crap and lived through it! [ audience applauds wildly ] Yeah, people still ask me: “Hey, Roseanne, what about that three-way marriage thing?” And I would very well like to clear that up. I thought it was a joke. But.. that’s Hollywood for ya’. [ sarcastic ] And, boy, I love Hollywood – okay, I have a few problems with Hollywood. Like Heidi Fleiss. How can they prosecute anyone in Hollywood for prostitution? Everyone is a prostitute in Hollywood! [ audience applauds thunderously ] Oh, yeah, right – Heidi is guilty.. but O.J. will be home in time for CHRISTMAAAASSS!! You know, the only judge who could find O.J. innocent is Clarence Thomas. [ audience goes nuts at the thought ] And he already has a job.

    So there’s just way too much hype in the news, and it just has all of you fooled. That’s why you have a Republican Congress now. [ audience applauds wildly ] ‘Cause y’all see Arnold Schwartzenegger standing next to a Republican candidate, so you go: “Well, the Terminator likes him – he must be storng on defense.” [ audience applauds wildly ] Wake UP! Don’t let show business elect your government, because everything in Hollywood is just a big, fat lie! Okay? Nobody is married because they’re in love with each other – the’re just married because it’s too expensive to get a divorce! [ light, confused laughter from the audience ] And all the guys who pretend to be these big family men – Heid Fleiss knows them. [ audience laughs ] And half of you movie stars in Hollywood – stop pretending that you’re faithful! And the other half – stop pretending that you’re not gay! [ audience applauds wildly ]

    Yeah, I can already hear all the critics. [ mimicking a whiny critic ] “Well, if she hates Hollywood so much, why doesn’t she just leaaaave?” You know, I don’t hate all the critics – just you first-year penmanship students who always come out to critique the political content of my ass, okay? You just don’t GET IT.. and you NEVER will! [ light wild applause from the audience ] If you had any talent, you would go write that novel you’ve been talking about, instead of writing the Gossip column for People Magazine! [ audience applauds ] I mean, I hate that guy. He writes: “Well, Roseanne lives her life in the public eye..” Well, if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have a job! So get off my AAAAASSSSSS!! [ audience applauds wildly ]

    Oh, and by the way, I’ve just been artificially inseminated. And I have sixteen babies inside of me! And that oughtta keep “Hard Copy” on forever! [ laughs ] And it was not painful, just so you know. It was just a little prick, kind of like having sex with Tom.. [ audience applauds wildly ] And it only took a minute! [ audience applauds wilder still ]

    So, it’s gonna be a great show! So, stick around – Green Day is here, and we’ll be right back!
