[Starts with a family having dinner]Beck: Alright guys, happy thanksgiving everyone.
[everyone wishes each other]I am so thankful to have you all here today.
Vanessa: I am thankful that I only burned the turkey a little bit.
[everyone laughs]Cathy: You know, I am thankful that our governor is not gonna let those refugees in here.
Cecily: Oh my god!
[Cut to a video that says “Thanksgiving with family can be hard.”] [Cut to Beck]Beck: You know, I heard the refugees are all ISIS in disguise.
[Cecily shaking her head]Cathy: Oh yeah, that’s true. [Cut to Cathy] I actually saw an ISIS in the A&P today when I was picking up the yam.
[Cut to Cecily]Cecily: No, you didn’t aunt Cathy. That was an Asian woman.
[Cut to a video that says “Everyone has different opinions and beliefs.”] [Cut to everybody]Cathy: You know what? [pointing at Jamal. Jamal is the only black person at the table] I have a question for you. Why is it that your friends keep antagonizing the police?
[Jamal is offended]Cecily: Why would you ask my boyfriend that?
Cathy: Well I’m just trying to get to know Jamal.
[Cut to a video that says “But there’s one thing that unites us all…”] [Cut to everybody arguing with each other. The little girl sitting by Cathy gets up and plays Adele’s ‘Hello’ on the music player.] [Everyone suddenly stops talking] [Cut to Cathy lipsyncing to the song]Cathy: Hello, it’s me.
[Cut to Vanessa lipsyncing to the song]Vanessa: I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet.
[Cut to Beck lipsyncing to the song]Beck: To go over everything.
[Cut to Cathy and Jamal holding hands and lipsyincing to the song]Jamal: They say that time’s supposed to heal you but I ain’t done much healing.
[doorbell rings]Vanessa: Oh, your grandparents are here.
[Cut to the grandparents walking in]Beck: How was the flight?
Grandpa: It was good. Good.
Grandma: I saw two transgender at the airport. They sure look all pretty.
Grandpa: Very interesting trend.
[Cut to Cecily and Jamal]Cecily: Oh, my god!
Jamal: Transgender is not a trend Mr. Paul.
[Cut to Grandpa]Grandpa: There weren’t any around when I was younger.
[Cut to Cecily]Cecily: Yeah, they were there but they couldn’t say anything so they lived sad lives and died.
[Cut to Beck]Beck: No talking about…
[everyone starts arguing again] [Cut to the little girl who plays the song again] [The video changes to black and white. Everyone stands up lipsyncing to the song.]All: Hello from the other side
[They have the wind blowing on them effect going on]I must have called a thousand times
[Beck has his nails done like Adele in her video]To tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done
When I called you never seemed to be home
Hello from the other–
[The oven’s timer beeps]Vanessa: Oh, the pies are ready.
[Cut to Cathy]Cathy: And I am ready to vote for Ben Carson.

[Everyone is wearing a coat like Adele in her video now]At least I can say that I tried
To tell you I’m sorry for breaking your heart
