Stanley Sperrow: Hello, welcome to What’s the Best Way, the only game show by New Englanders, for New Englanders. Ok folks, ready to play?

Contestants: Aya, aya.

Stanley Sperrow: Some weather we’re having.

Contestants: Oh yeah, oh yeah, Nor’easter.

Stanley Sperrow: Ok, 1st question. How do you get from Providence Rhode Island, to Worchester Mass?

(Tony buzzes in)

Tony Vallencourt: Ok, whatcha gotta do is get on 95 north, follow that to 495, then ya take that for about an hour. Then your gonna see signs for the Mass Pike. Ok get into the far (fah) left lane, then take the Mass Pike west and you’ll see this WICKED huge Radio Shack. That’s where ya get off, and you’re in Worchester, you’re right there pal.

Stanley Sperrow: That’s correct, yep, ok, here we go. Ok, who’s got directions from Quincy Mass, to to Jordan Marsh (Jahdan Mahsh) department store in Bedford, New Hampshire?

(Katie buzzes in)

Stanley Sperrow: Katie.

Katie McGregor: Ok, now you wanna take 93 north to Route 3, now the Jordan Marsh is off exit 6, and it’s one, uh two, um 3 traffic lights. But ifyou’re heading up there, you really ought to eat breakfast at Shirley’s Pancake House, now it’s close-by, and they have wonderful peach cobbler – but don’t go ona Sunday, cause the after-church crowd is bound to –

Stanley Sperrow: (interrupts) Oh, sorry, that’s more than we need.

(Wayne buzzes in)

Stanley Sperrow: Wayne.

Wayne Dunbar: (slowly) Ok – from Quincy to the Jordan Marsh in Bedford, alright, well there are several ways to get there, lets see, well the old route 14 used to go straight there – you just follow the Merrimack River – but that was before the war – so – now you’d have to –

Stanley Sperrow: (interrupts) Sorry, we have a time limit.

Wayne Dunbar: Alright, good luck.

(Tony buzzes in)

Tony Vallencourt: Ok, its 93 north to 3, but its four traffic lights, you hit a Chevron station, and a little past that there’s gonna be a retarded (retahded) kid selling fireworks. Hang a left by him you’re at the Jordan Marsh pal.

(Wrong answer)

Stanley Sperrow: Oh, sorry. The correct answer is 93 north to 3 north, exit 6, but you hang a right at the retarded kid, and if you cut through the Bedford Mall parking lot you save yourself 5 minutes.

Tony Vallencourt: Is that right pal?

Stanley Sperrow: Oh yeah. Ok, lets meet our contestants. First, Tony Vallencourt. You’re an electrical contractor, you enjoy that?

Tony Vallencourt: Oh yeah, pissah.

Stanley Sperrow: And what do you do in your free time?

Tony Vallencourt: I snow plow the K-Mart plaza parking lot and, uh,candlepin bowling.

Stanley Sperrow: Alright, Katie McGregor. You work at a wicker shop?

Katie McGregor: Aya, I’m part (paht) owner.

Stanley Sperrow: And what do you do in your free time?

Katie McGregor: I like to make pottery, and I like to candlepin bowl.

Stanley Sperrow: Ah – and Wayne Dunbar, you’re retired?

Wayne Dunbar: Aya.

Stanley Sperrow: And in your free time?

Wayne Dunbar: (slowly) Oh, you know, go out on the porch – look out at the stars – and candlepin bowling.

Stanley Sperrow: Ok folks, back to our game. From Hartford to Sturbridge –

(Katie buzzes in)

Katie McGregor: Ok, now that’s straight on route 84, but you’re gonna want to avoid the tourist traps up there, now, if you go up Manhill Road,you’ll see a pretty Bed and Breakfast in Bradford – but that’s a little out of your way, but it’s very reasonable. And there’s a farm (fahm) down the hill where you can get fresh Maine blueberries, of course, but that’s only in the summer –

(Wrong answer)

Stanley Sperrow: Sorry Katie, I didn’t finish the question. From Hartford to Sturbridge, how many Dunkin Donuts along the way?

(Tony buzzes in)

Stanley Sperrow: Tony.

Tony Vallencourt: Fourteen.

Stanley Sperrow: Correct! Bonus point for each drive-thru.

Tony Vallencourt: – Four

Stanley Sperrow: That’s right!

Tony Vallencourt: Yeah, and the one in Caucus got this WICKED fat kid workin’ there.

Stanley Sperrow: Ok, from Boston (Bahston) Mass to Nashua New Hampshire.

(Wayne buzzes in)

Wayne Dunbar: Can’t get there from here.

(Wrong answer)

Stanley Sperrow: Sorry, you can.

(Tony buzzes in)

Stanley Sperrow: Tony.

Tony Vallencourt: Boston to Nashua? You goin’ up there to buy liquor pally?

Stanley Sperrow: Aya, no sales tax.

Tony Vallencourt: Alright, you just gotta shoot up 95, but watch your ass crossin’ over the border. Those state troopers are outa control.

Stanley Sperrow: That’s correct Tony!

Tony Vallencourt: Hey, I don’t care if you’re 1 mile over the speed limit, they’re haulin’ your ass into MuniCourt.

Stanley Sperrow: Ok, Tony.

Tony Vallencourt: I’m tellin’ ya pal, these guys got a quota and a WICKED radar (radah) gun.

Stanley Sperrow: Ok, Tony, the game’s still going here. Newport, Rhode Island to Roxbury Mass.

(Katie buzzes in)

Katie McGregor: What do ya wanna go there for?

Stanley Sperrow: That’s right, there’s no reason to go to Roxbury!

Tony Vallencourt: Hey you can go to Roxbury if you bring your nunchucks pal, I’ll tell you that much.

Stanley Sperrow: A whole lotta crack up there. Ok, homestretch.

Tony Vallencourt: Those maniacs’ll slice ya and dice ya pally.

Stanley Sperrow: Ok Tony. Ok – how do you get from Dorchester Mass, to Mike Bigelow’s house?

(Wayne buzzes in)

Wayne Dunbar: (slowly) Ok, from Dorchester, oh dear, that’s uh,alright, well Dorchester’s south of Shrewsbury, so –

Stanley Sperrow: (interrupts) Oh sorry, we could see what was coming.

Wayne Dunbar: Alright, good luck.

(sirens)

Stanley Sperrow: Ok, that means we’re out of time, so Tony, you’re the winner pal. (Music plays, curtain opens) That means you’ll be joining our bonus round over here, and you’ll be joining our Kalahari Bushman,and his innate sense of direction. Welcome back Zelma.

Kalahari Bushman: (makes tongue noise) Good to be back.

Stanley Sperrow: Alright, how do you get from New Milford Connecticut, to the biggest Waterslide in Boothbay Harbor Maine?

(Tony and Bushman give directions, Bushman finishes first)

Stanley Sperrow: The Bushman’s got it! The Bushman’s got it! – Well don’t feel bad Tony; you still win a quart of Block Island Honey.

Tony Vallencourt: That’s wicked good!

Stanley Sperrow: And Zelma, as always you win a pound and a quart of fresh Maine lobster.

Kalahari Bushman: (makes tongue noise) Pissah.

Edward Osgood…..Phil Hartman

Announcer: [ over SUPER ] “The following is a production of WNET New York in cooperation with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting”

Narrator: And now we bring you the PBS Afterschool Special: “Sex and Peer Pressure at Valley High.”

[ open on suburban living room, teenager Steve preparing to go out as his parents sit on the sofa ]

Dad: Big date tonight,huh, Steve?

Steve: Yeah! [ laughs ] Dad? Just this once, can I stay out ’til 1 o’clock?

Dad: [ thinking ] How about 12:30?

Steven: Okay, 12:30 it is! Look, I gotta run, I’ll see you!

Mom: Have fun.

Steven: Okay! [ runs out the door ]

Mom: Honey, are you worried about this getting too serious?

Dad: Well, you know, Andrew treats him a lot better than Roger did.

Mom: I know, I never liked that creep Roger. But I am worried that Andrew’s too old for Steven. I mean, he’s a Senior, and he runs with a really fast crowd..

Dad: Honey, Steven is a smart kid, he’s gonna be okay.

[ dissolve to Steven with Andrew in his car, driving down the street ]

Andrew: My, uh.. my parents are out of town this week. Why don’t you stay over? I think it’s time we “go all the way”.

Steven: [ relunctant ] I don’t know..

Andrew: [ angry ] What do you mean, you don’t know?!

Steven: I mean.. I like kissing you and hugging you, and stuff, but.. I’m scared to all the way, I’ve.. never done it before, I’m only a Freshman.

Andrew: Look, everyone’s doing it, okay? It’s no big deal! If you love me, you’ll do it..

Steven: I do love you, Andrew, it’s just that..

Andrew: Hey! I don’t need to be wasting my time with Freshmen, okay? You know, there’s ten guys that would kill to stay with me at my parents’! I scored four touchdowns last week!

Steven: I know! I cheered the loudest! But.. this is all happening too fast.. I can’t think.. it’s too soon..

Andrew: Well, maybe I should just take you back to mommy and Daddy, and you can think about it!

[ dissolve back to the family living room, Mom and Dad still talking ]

Dad: But, you know, really, honey, Andrew, he seems like a good kid.. he’s got his feet on the ground, and he hear he’s quite an athlete. Steven tells me he scored four touchdowns last week!

Mom: Yeah, I suppose dating a big football player is a feather in the cap of a Freshman..

Steven: [ runs in crying, flops on the sofa ]

Mom: Honey, what happened?

Dad: What’s going on?

Steve: [ muffled ] Andrew told me that.. if I don’t do it.. I’m scared.. I don’t want to..”

Dad: Hey, hey, hold on, tiger.. is this about Andrew?

Steven: [ pulls his head out from behind the sofa cushion ] He wants me to.. go all the way.. I don’t know.. I don’t know what to do..

Mom: Well, I think I’d better leave you two.. alone. [ exits ]

Dad: You’re scared, aren’t you? Now, that’s only natural. Andrew means everything in the world to you, doesn’t he? You know, I never told you this, but.. I remember when I was in high school, and I had the biggest crush on Tab Hunter.

Steven: Who’s that?

Dad: Who’s that? Only the most gorgeous hunk of a movie star that ever lit up the silver screen, that’s who! Boy, I was just crazy about him – everything was just “Tab Hunter this..” and “Tab Hunter that..” I thought the sun rose and set around Tab Hunter. Anyway.. then, I met your mother, and, well, you know the rest..

Steven: So, I should do it? Dad, I don’t..

Dad: No, I didn’t say that. I didn’t say that. It’s up to you. you’re a big kid, and you’ve got to make your own decisions. [ shakes Steven’s hand, passing a condom to him ]

Steven: Thanks, Dad.

[ cut back to the program, Steven at hi hogh school locker with a friend ]

Friend: Hey, Steve. Did you and Andrew do it?

Steven: No.

Friend: [ suprised ] No-o? Why not? He’s so excellent!

Steven: I know.. I want to, but.. when he touches me, I get scared, I can’t think, it..

[ on the other side of the hallway, Andrew punches his locker ]

Friend: Uh-oh. I’d better get going. Good luck. [ continues down the hall ]

Steven: [ as Andrew approaches ] Hi.

Andrew: Hi.

Steven: So, is that offer still good for this weekend?

Andrew: [ surprised ] Yeah! Are you serious?

Steven: Yeah. You know.. I was nervous, because it’s my first time and everything, but.. you know, I think it’s right.

Andrew: I have a confession to make – it’s my first time, too.

Steven: [ surprised ] No way, not you!

Andrew: Oh, yeah.

Steven: Well, then, you might need this. [ holds up his condom ]

Andrew: [ amazed ] Hey! You might be a Freshman, but you sure think like a Senior. Come on.. walk me to practice.

[ they walk off, screen freezes as Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” plays to fade ]

“Well, I’m jumping on the table cause nothing seems quite as nice,
Now my face is in my poo, that’s your clever punishment device.
I slept on the couch,
I THOUGHT YOU’D LIKE IT!
Brought you a dead bird,
I THOUGHT YOU’D EAT IT!
So now you’re like my nose, cold as iiiiiiiiiiice!

[ Fan #2 takes a doggie treat out of his pocket and feeds it to the bassist]

Oh what’s my name again?
I’m sorry I didn’t come running
No dinner for me? So sad
It makes its own gravy
Now I’m puking on the carpet,
I COULDN’T HELP IT!
I’m drinking from the toilet
IT’S JUST A HABIT!
I swear that smell you smell is not from meeeee!

But I’m baa-aa-aad!
Bad bad baa-aa-aad!

[ Fan #3 scratches the backup singers neck]

Bad bad baa-aa-aad!
‘Cause I won’t go on the wee-wee pad!

Have you ever tasted your brown shoes?
I think you might be surpri-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-sed”

[ guitar solo, during which Fan #2 rubs the lead singer’s belly]

“Squeeze toy!”
[Backup singer squeezes the squeeze toy ]

“Well, don’t you know it’s shedding season
Or is that a dirty word?
And weren’t you the one who said, “Stay inside!”
I’ll bring you the tennis ball
BUT YOU DON’T THROW IT!
I run for the tennis ball
BUT YOU JUST FAKED IT!
Oh you’re just way too smart for meeeee!

But I’m baa-aa-aad!
Bad bad baa-aa-aad!
Bad bad baa-aa-aad!
‘Cause I won’t make on your wee-wee pad!”

College Student: Governor Clinton? I’m a sophomore in college, andI may have to drop out because my parents can’t afford tuition.

This week President Clinton took his first tour of the White House asPresident-Elect. On the tour were the historic Lincoln Room, where AbrahamLincoln slept; the Truman Room, where Harry Truman slept; and the OvalOffice, where Ronald Reagan slept.

Barbara Bush welcomed Hillary Clinton to the White House this week, greetedher with a warm, motherly embrace, took her into the Executive Mansion, andthen gave her a spanking she’ll never forget.

After news photographers lured Chelsea Clinton’s pet cat, Socks, out ofthe Governor’s Mansion for a photo shoot, President-Elect Clinton angrilyordered them not to do it again. Meanwhile, Socks, who had nothing elseto do, decided to kill some time fooling around with Gennifer Flowers’cat, Blondie.

A statistic in U.S.A. Today revealed that 1 out of every 3 smokerstry to quit smoking each year. The other 2 quit breathing.

Remember: immediately following tonight’s boadcast, there will beanother TV show.

The high ratings of the miniseries “The Jacksons” on ABC, and “Sinatra” onCBS, have prompted third-place NBC to announce plans for its own miniseries”The Cowsills”.

Every Thanksgiving from now on, a different “SNL”performer will compose and sing an original song to commemorate theholidays.

Adam Sandler: Oh, thank you.. thank you, Kevin!

Kevin Nealon: Alright, Adam, are you ready?

Adam Sandler: Yes, I am, Kevin. I’ve worked all week on my song,and I hope you’ll be entertained and a little moved.

[ singing ]“Love to eat turkey, love to eat turkey
Love to eat turkey ’cause it’s good
Love to eat turkey like a good boy should
Cause it’s turkey to eat, so good

A turkey for me, turkey for you,
Let’s eat turkey in a big brown shoe.

Love to eat turkey at the table,
I once saw a movie with Betty Grable.
Eat that turkey all night long,
50 million Elvis fans can’t be wrong.

Turkey turkey dee, turkey turkey dap,
I eat the turkey and I take a nap

Thanksgiving is a special night
Jimmie Walker used to say “Dynomite”
That’s right!

Turkey with the gravy and the cranberry
Can’t believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry

Turkey for you, turkey for me,
Can’t believe Tyson gave the girl V.D.

Gobble gobble dee, gobble gobble dawkie,
I used to go to camp at Lake Winnepesaukee”

Adam Sandler: Come on, Kevin.
Kevin Nealon: No, that’s okay.
Adam Sandler: Oh, it’ll be fun.
Kevin Nealon: Okay.

Together:
“Turkey turkey dee, turkey turkey duffin,
Love to eat turkey with a lot of stuffin’
Turkey for me, turkey for you,
Let’s eat turkey in a big brown shoe.

Turkey and sweet potato pie,
Sammy Davis Jr. only had one eye
Turkey with the girls, turkey with the boys,
My favorite kind of pants are corduoroys

Gobble gobble gee, gobble gobble gickle
I wish turkeys could only cost a nickel.

Oh, I love turkey .. on Thanksgivingggggg..”

Incredible Hulk: I.. I wish I.. Hulk not good with words. Hulk write it down. [ takes out sheet of paper, then puts on reading glasses ] “Superman was that rarest of things. Every superhero owes him a debt of gratitude and homage. His life was a super-human expression of the noblest asperations of man. And, in death, he has become the ideal. Of my friend Superman, I can only say this: he was.. my.. hero!” [ removes glasses, near tears ] I.. Hulk.. just.. Hulk.. Hulk just not the same! [ smashes podium to bits ] Enough said.

INT. PATTERSON LIVING ROOM – NIGHT

MR. PATTERSON, late 50’s, slight gray hair, plaid shirt, chit-chats with his SON on the couch while they watch television and enjoy dinner.

Mr. Patterson: Renee! Bring over some salt!!

RENEE PATTERSON, in floral dress, gray hair, cardigan, sweeps in and raises her arms in the air.

Renee Patterson: MY CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK DON’T NEED NO SALT!!

Mr. Patterson: Listen, woman!! My taste buds want salt!! And this is one man who ain’t going to deny his taste buds!!

Renee Patterson: Then you get up! And you get that salt yourself!

Renee trembles in tears and clutches her hands to her chest.

Mr. Patterson: I! Ain’t! Getting! Up! What you watching, son!?

Young Patterson: I’m just flippin’ around, daddy!

Mr. Patterson: MY! Boy! Doesn’t flip around! You going to turn that TV! To! “Rescue 9-1-1!!” And we going to keep it on “Rescue 9-1-1!!”

Renee moves closer to the man, shaking her hands over and over again.

Renee Patterson: We ain’t going to watch no “Rescue 9-1-1!!” Not under this roof!! Not this family!!

Renee points to her son and clenches her fists.

Renee Patterson: You going to turn that channel and we going to watch the movie-of-the-week!! About the serial killer woman in Florida!!!

Renee tilts her head to the roof, eyes blood-shot red and watered.

Renee Patterson: And you going to like it!!

Mr. Patterson rises from the couch.

Mr. Patterson: I! Am! A! Man! I work 14 hours a day! I paid for that TV! With my sweat! And when I come home, I want to see Captain Kirk on that screen!

Young Patterson rises from the couch.

Young Patterson: What’s happening to us?!?! This ain’t a family no more!! Why can’t we just agree!?!?

Young Patterson reaches onto Renee’s arms and they both cry in exaltation.

Mr. Patterson: MY! Son! Does not cry!

Renee slaps Mr. Patterson.

Renee Patterson: I ain’t raising no more sons! That! Can’t! Speak their mind!

ADRIAN PATTERSON, early 30’s, in trench coat and suit, ENTERS.

Adrian Patterson: Hey, folks!

Renee Patterson: ADRIAN! Oh, my baby! You came home!! Where you been!?!?

Adrian Patterson: In Cleveland. Remember? I have a job there. It’s Thanksgiving. I’m visiting.

Mr. Patterson: Why you always running away, boy!!!

Renee Patterson: My boys! Don’t have to run out of town! You stand and be strong and tall!!

Adrian Patterson: What do you mean? I’m an engineer. It’s a great job.

Mr. Patterson: Don’t! You! Talk! To your mother like that! You! Raise! Your voice when you speak to you mother!

Adrian Patterson: Man, just relax a little bit. You guys expend so much energy that maybe if you calmed down, you’d get somewhere.

Overacting Pattersons: Oh! Oh!

All of them corner Adrian to the wall, pointing at him.
