Morning Drive

Written by: Kristen Wiig and Jim Cashman

Driver…..Kristen Wiig
Passenger…..Alec Baldwin

[FADE IN on a shot looking into a car through the windshield. A woman is behind a wheel, with a man in a business suit in the passenger seat.]

Driver: Y’ know, in some places, the prices are still almost three dollars a gallon, it’s crazy.

Passenger: Well, carpooling was definitely a good idea. At least now I don’t feel like I’m losing money going to work.

[both chuckle]

Driver: I know–plus having someone else in the car makes the drive go faster.

Passenger: Yeah, this is a nice car.

Driver: Thank you.

[awkward pause]

Driver: Oh, so it looked like you were having some words with your neighbor back there.

Passenger: I’m sorry?

Driver: Oh, when I drove up, he was ranting and raving–that must be fun, living next to a crazy old man. [snickers]

Passenger: [stiffly] That’s my dad. He actually lives with us.

Driver: Oh. I’m sorry.

Passenger: He’s not quite right anymore. He had wandered into the neighbor’s yard, I was trying to get him back to the house to, uh… put some clothes on him.

Driver: I’m sorry, that must be really hard.

Passenger: [softly] It is. Especially on the kids. So where do you guys live?

Driver: Oh, no, no, it’s just me, I’m by myself, I have an apartment.

Passenger: Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you were married.

Driver: I am. He ran away.

Passenger: Oh.

Driver: It’s okay, um, he left a note. Um… it was nice… But, uh, he can’t live with me anymore. But it’s okay.

Passenger: So what happened to those bonuses we were supposed to get this summer?

Driver: [laughing] Oh, yeah, those bonuses. Honestly, I don’t even think they exist, y’know? It’s like, it’s a big myth. It’s like Bigfoot.

[pause]

Passenger: I believe in Bigfoot.

[laughter]

Passenger: I’ve seen him twice, so he’s real.

Driver: [nervously] I didn’t mean to offend you.

Passenger: It’s all right, you weren’t there.

Driver: [after a pause] Do you want to listen to some music or something?

Passenger: [quickly] Sure, that’d be great.

[She turns on the stereo. “Where Does My Heart Beat Now?” by Celine Dion starts playing.]

Passenger: Ugh, Celine Dion. Anything but that, I cannot stand her. You mind if we change the station?

Driver: It’s a CD.

[laughter]

Passenger: Sorry. Do you mind if we put in a different CD?

Driver: They’re all Celine.

Passenger: Big fan, huh?

Driver: [turns off music] When I was 17, I was kidnapped and taken to Peru. After four months, I managed to escape, but couldn’t get back to the U.S. I begged for money to buy a piece of paper and a pencil so I could write a letter. I wrote that letter to Celine Dion to come and rescue me, and she did.

[laughter and applause]

Driver: [tightly] She’s an amazing person. She’s an amazing person.

Passenger: I’m sorry, I should have known.

[laughter]

Driver: It’s okay, I’m, I’m just sensitive about it, y’know, she’s always been there for me, y’know–she’s, she’s my rock.

Passenger: [incredulous] Your rock?

Driver: Yeah… what?

Passenger: It’s just that last summer my dentist and I were rock climbing, and he fell into a crevasse where he got his foot stuck. The coyotes were circling, so I did what I had to do, and I chewed his foot off with my teeth.

[laughter]

Passenger: So you should be a little more careful with the words you throw around.

Driver: [growing angry] What words I throw around.

Passenger: Yeah.

Driver: [in a brittle voice] Someone threw a box full of dictionaries out of a fourth-story window, crushing everything below my waist. No one came to help me for so long, I started reading one of the dictionaries and got halfway through “C”–so I think I know a little something about people throwing words around.

Passenger: I’m sorry, that must’ve been awful for you.

Driver: I’m metal from the waist down.

[Her passenger glances over to her and then looks down at her legs.]

Passenger: I’m sorry.

Driver: Y’know, it’s fine. You know what they say: “Don’t worry, be happy.”

Passenger: Bobby McFerrin raped my grandmother.

[He presses his fist to his mouth in anguish for a long moment as they drive on over cheers and applause.]

Driver: Let’s just, uh, let’s just listen to the radio.

[She switches the stereo back on, only to hear “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” coming from the speakers. The passenger covers his eyes with his hand while the song continues for a few seconds. FADE to black over cheers and applause.]

Weekend Update with Amy Poehler & Seth Meyers

… Amy Poehler
… Seth Meyers
Tim Calhoun … Will Forte
Same Sex Man 1 … Fred Armisen
Same Sex Man 2… Bill Hader

Announcer: Weekend Update with Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers!

Seth Meyers: I’m Seth Meyers!

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

The White House announced, this week, that President Bush will no longer use the phrase, “Stay the course” when speaking about the Iraq War. Preferring, instead, to use the phrase, “Think outside the bun!”

President Bush signed a bill, Thursday, authorizing 700 miles of new fencing along the U.S./Mexico border. Which will be great until our frisbee ends up over there.

U.S. officials said, on Tuesday, that Iraqi leaders agreed to develop a time table by the end of the year for progress stablizing Iraq. So there you have it. There’s now a time table for establishing a time table. Welcome home, boys!

Seth Meyers: Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said it is great that Senator Barrack Obama is thinking about also running, adding “I think it’s great that anybody thinks about doing what they want to do in the future. It’s great. Great, great, great! So frickin’ great! Aw, I’m so screwed!

Many say that London has replaced New York city as the world’s undisputed financial capital. Hear that terrorists? The world’s undisputed financial capital is London!

Amy Poehler: We are just about a week away from what is the most anticipated mid-term elections in years. Here, to discuss his campaign, is Senator Tim Calhoun.

[Tim Calhoun wheels over, looking scared, and starts talking by his note cards, with no emotion]

Tim Calhoun: I am Tim Calhoun, and I am running for Senator of America. I am perfect to represent America, because like America, I am heavily in debt, I am about 10 percent gay, and I have a really bad gas problem. I have touched many pages in my life, because I am a veracious reader, of child pornography studies. Illustrated studies. Everyone wants to know if Kim Jong Il has a nuclear bomb. Am I the only one who wants to know if he has a twin sister that looks exactly like him? Because lookswise, that’s my type. Here are proposals: I propose a harsh 20-strike law for criminals. After 20 strikes, the criminals only get 3 more strikes. But, after 3 strikes, that’s it. One more strike. I’m glad Pluto is now a dwarf planet. It’s about time we had a planet to send those little bee holes to. I propose that we make Jupiter a Mexico planet. In conclusion, and in summary, my name is Tim Calhoun, and I do not approve this message.

Amy Poehler: Tim Calhoun, everyone!

Seth Meyers: A new study shows that the Freshman 15 weight gain is actually closer to 5 to 7 pounds, as kids are now much better at getting super-fat in grade school.

Seattle’s new tour slogan is “Welcome to Metronatural”, which replaces their old slogan, “Drummer wanted”.

Amy Poehler: A referendum to widen the Panama canal was approved Sunday, though voters are skeptical about the government’s plan to widen the canal using an enormous speculum. Said the cheif engineer, “Okay, Panama Canal, just lie back, relax, put your feet up. You’re gonna feel something cold, and a little bit of pressure, and… I’m in. So, are you having a nice fall?

Federal agents broke up a Colorado drug reign, this week, that shipped methanfedamine hidden inside an Elmo doll. Police were informed when someone tried to tickle Elmo, and he shot them 36 times.

Seth Meyers: The current issue of NewScientist magazine reports that researchers have identified a rare medical condition, where sufferers unknowingly demand or actually have sex while asleep.

[Amy Poehler rides over to him snoring]

Seth Meyers: Oh, boy.

[Seth gets a blowhorn out and ignites it]

Amy Poehler: Oh! Wow! Sorry! Sorry! Was it good for you, did I blow your mind? Excellent.

Seth Meyers: It was reported that Shaquille O’Neal was present last month during a botched child pornography raid, while working as reserved sherriff’s deputy in Virginia. Police now believe the purps had been tipped off by the famous 7-foot-2 black dude selling stupid jokes in a bush.

Amy Poehler: The winner of New York’s annual Vendy award, which honors the best food cart in the city, was Sammy’s Halaul in Queens, while the last place finisher once again was Mario’s under-cooked chicken sticks in the Holland tunnel.

Seth Meyers: The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled, Wednesday, that gay-lesbian partners deserve the same rights as married couples. Here to comment, a same-sex couple from Jersey.

[The same-sex couple scoots over]

Same Sex Man #1: Oh!

Same Sex Man #2: Oh!

Same Sex Man #1: Hello, Seth and Amy!

Both: Oh!

Seth Meyers: So, how exactly does this ruling effect you two personally?

Same Sex Man #1: Basically, it means should anything happen to me, this beautiful son of a bitch, over here, will be entitled to my benefits. Which should keep in in track suits and change him well into his golden years!

Same Sex Man #2: And vica versa! Oh!

Same Sex Man #1: Oh!

Both: Oh!

Seth Meyers: Now, critics are saying that the courts may have over-stepped by legalizing gay marriage.

Same Sex Man #2: First off, it’s a civil union, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be one hell of a wedding!

Same Sex Man #1: Do Chang Cobanna Mesh Tuxedo!

Same Sex Man #2: Oh!

Same Sex Man #1: Como down sculpture ice!

Same Sex Man #2: Oh!

Same Sex Man #1: A selection of fine Italian meat!

Both: Oh!

Amy Poehler: So, um, how did you guys meet?

Same Sex Man #1: Well, it goes like this. One day, I saw Vinnie, over here, pounding some Jomoc in the face! I thought “I wish that was my face!” I wish those fists were tiny little kisses.

[both look at each other passionately]

Same Sex Man #1: Oh.

Same Sex Man #2: Oh.

Same Sex Man #1: Oh.

Seth Meyers: Oh, you know what? Um, you guys have a— Guys? Guys? Any final words?

Same Sex Man #1: Just this: Gay people, I know you’re afraid, but it’s time to commit!

Same Sex Man #2: To move to New Jersey!

Both: Ohhhh!!!

Seth Meyers: The same-sex couple from New Jersey! Great Job!

Amy Poehler: Very nice!

It was reported that according to the birth certificate filed Tuesday, Britney Spear’s new born, is a boy named Jayden James Federline, as in “Jayden James Federline, you have the right to remain silent!”

Seth Meyers: This week, New Jersey’s gay marriage ruling was celebrated across the country, including St. Louis… Oh.
[Super reveals the catcher and pitcher of the St. Louis Baseball team hugging]

Seth Meyers: According to it’s developer, the Bionic Dolphin, a new vehicle that can take passengers beneath the water, revolve 360 degrees, and stand upright, like a dolphin, may be released as early as next year. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who has ever dreamed of drowning to death inside of a mechical dolphin.

Seth Meyers: From Weekend Update, I’m Seth Meyers!

Amy Poehler: I’m Amy Poehler!

Both: Goodnight!

[both of them take out cigars and put them in their mouths, as the music starts up and fades]

“Well, the poor keep getting hungry, and the rich keep getting fat
Politicians change, but they’re never gonna change that.
Girl, we got the answer, it’s so easy you won’t believe
All we gotta do is.. [ mumbles incoherently ]

Well, the winds of war are blowin’, and the tide is comin’ in
Don’t you be hopin’ for the good times, because the good times have already been.
But, girl, we got the answer, it’s so easy you won’t believe
All we gotta do is.. [ mumbles incoherently ]

It’s so easy, to see
If only they’d listen, to you and me.
We got to.. [ mumbles incoherently ] as fast as we can
We got to.. [ mumbles incoherently ] every woman, every man
We got to.. [ mumbles incoherently ] time after time
We got to.. [ mumbles incoherently ] vodka and lime.

Well, the world is gettin’ weary, and it wants to go to bed
Everybody’s dyin’, except the ones who are already dead.
Girl, we got the answer, starin’ us right in the face
All we gotta do is

Clap hands, that’s right
Clap hands, clap hands that’s right

Beck: 1, 2, 3, 4

“Now I’m a seasick sailor
On a ship of noise
I got my maps all backwards
And my instincts poisoned
In a truth blown gutter
Full of wasted years
Like blown-out speakers
Ringin’ in my ears.

Oh it’s nausea, oh nausea
And we’re gone.
It’s nausea, oh nausea
And we’re gone.

Now I’m a straight-line walker
In a black-out room
I push a shopping cart over
In an Aztec ruin
With my minion fingers
Working for some God
Who could see his own reflection
In a parking lot.

Oh it’s nausea, oh nausea
And we’re gone.
No it’s nausea, oh nausea
And we’re gone.

Now I’m a priest teenager
On a tower of dust
I’m a dead generator
In a cloud of exhaust
I eat alone in the desert
With skulls for my pets
I rate the days, one to ten
With lead cigarettes.

It’s nausea, oh nausea
And we’re gone.
It’s nausea, oh nausea
And we’re gone.”

Hugh Laurie’s Monologue

…..Hugh Laurie

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen – Hugh Laurie!

[ the audience cheers loudly ]

Hugh Laurie: [ over the applause ] Thank you, thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls – I am very excited to be here hosting this great show —

[ suddenly, what is now noticed to be canned applause, fades and quiets ]

— in this great city, in this great and venerable building! Very, very, very excited, uh – I would be more excited if I weren’t also slightly medicated. [ scattered laughter ] But, uh, even so – you see, it’s a huge honor — uh, and I thank you. Now, uh – introductions. As the nice man said, my name is Hugh Laurie. Uh — [ the audience bursts into applause ] Of course, I would genuinely love to know all your names, uhh – it’s not really a profitable use of our time is it? Uh, so, instead, if you don’t mind, I’m just going to call you, collectively, Sweet Cheeks. If that’s alright. [ the audience chortles ]

Uh – now, Sweet Cheeks – if you know me at all, it’s, perhaps, as the curmudgeonly, misanthrope “House”, from the TV show of that name. [ the audience cheers ] Goodness! How did that drop out of the conversation, I wonder? Uh – but in real life, the trith is I’m neither misanthropic or curmudgeonly. Um – in real life, I am.. [ thinking ] I am.. daffodils. [ soft music fills the background ] I’m the morning dew. I am.. the laughter of children. I’m the smell of freshly-baked bread. I’m the postman’s cheery “Good morning.” I’m the yelp of a puppy, free from the microwave. [ the audience gasps ] I am.. chicken-fed corn. The seven of clubs that fills the inside straight. I’m the grateful twinkle in your grandmother’s eyes, as you reverse the tractor off her legs. I am sugar, spice, and all things nice. I’m the click on an empty chamber, whenit’s your turn at Russian Roulette. I am hope.. love.. mankind.. the world. I am.. everything. [ a beat ] It’s called lithium, by the way, if you’re interested. Some side effects, but otherwise it’s absolutely excellent.

Now, uh – Sweet Cheeks! Uh, before “House”, I had a long and very theatrical career. My Bottom was much in demand at the royal Shakespeare Company in the late 80’s. Uh – although I didn’t actually do “Midsummer Night’s Dream” until 1994. [ the audience laughs with a spirit of mild confusion ] Uh – heh! That was a Shakespeare joke, and, frankly, not a good one!

Um – now, Sweet Cheeks, if you’re half as sharp as I think you are, I’m sure you’ll be thinking – and you will, you will notice that I am English. Um – yeah. And, uh — bu, now, some of you may be thinking, “Well, hold on! English is a language! How can you be a language?” But you see – it so happens that English.. is also a nationality! Allow me to explain. [ glances to his side ] Uh – can I have a map, please? Yes. Thank you. [ a United States map is wheeled forward; Laurie looks around with confusion ] A map with England on it would have been preferable. That’s okay – never mind, never mind. [ stands next to the map ] Okay. So that means England would be.. about right where my right nipple is. Um, if I had one. But that’s a long story. Uh – no, actually, let’s just forget the map. [ pushes it away ]

Uh – so what can you expect from an Englishman hosting an American comedy show? Well, firstly – humour! Uh – with a “u”, because.. that’s how we spell it over there. Uh – and when I say “humour”, I mean overly elaborate puns that may take you days to understand, with very little payoff. Uh – there’ll be many sketches about – or regarding – bad teeth. Uh – you’ll be hearing “By jove” a lot. “Jolly good.” And, of course, “bollocks.” Uh – it will rain at some point during the show. And every sketch will be served with peas. Please! Don’t try to plug in your hairdryers, because it will start an electrical fire.

And, last, but not least – Beck is here! So, Sweet Cheeks, stick around, we’ll be right back!
