Yo! You're too slow.
Isaac, Tootie, get him out of here.

But you don't understand,
I'm the Executive Producer of this show.

We got a thing goin'
on here. I don't know...

He's cool, he's cool.
Leave him.

All right, so anyway, the chicken
crossed the road, right?

Anybody know why the chicken
crossed the road?

To get to the other side.

[All Laughing]

[Loud Laughing]

Look, uh, Shawn, we got
a show to do, okay? Can we...

Wait a minute.

He says you're needed
on some show.

[Whispering, Indistinct]

Mr. says "chill."
He'll be up there when he's ready.

Oh, well, you tell Mr. ...

Now he's ready.

Bye, Shawn.

See you after the show.

- [Audience Applauding, Cheering]
- Ladies and gentlemen, SW .

We're very close
to signing Paula Abdul.

It would be quite a coup.

Oh, this is it, homey.
This is the green room.

Is Madonna down here somewhere?

I'm Madonna's manager.
She's on stage. Can I help you?

The man himself.
Look here, homey.

I'm Clavell.

Now I know Madonna must have
mentioned me because we go way back.

My cousin Boudreau delivered some flowers
to her guesthouse one time last year.

Now look here. I heard Madonna's
been in town for a week...

and she hasn't called me, you know?

- Well, Madonna's very busy.
- Say what?

Well, we all know how that can be.
I'm Howard Tipps III.

I manage a group called Satern.
That's with an "E." S-A-T-E-R-N.

Now I used to manage
a group called Stratus.

Had to fire horns,
but we got nine left.

But here's the kicker.
We hired a brand-new bass player...

Polynesian cat from Detroit.

Funky as he wanna be.

Let me give you one of our cards.
You know, I'm fresh out. Howard.

[Chuckling] Bam!

All right now.
Check this out.

Don't pay any attention
to the drapes and fixtures, all right?

My number's here on the back, all right?
I'm stayin' with Moms.

Don't call after : p.m.
Not that you couldn't...

but it's a respect
type of thing, all right?

That's great. Uh, if you'll excuse me,
I'm supposed to meet Tina Turner upstairs.

Is Lil T in town,
'cause she hasn't called me, you know?

Ike hasn't called either,
but that's another story, another life.

- Stop it! [Chuckling]
- Great. Uh, see you later.

When my hair gets straighter.
[Laughing]

Hello, Sunshine.

You know, I didn't know
angels could fly so low.

Clavey, give me a shot of insulin,
'cause I'm about to go into sugar shock.

Girl, you are the sweetest thing.

Howard Tipps III.
That's spelled three-R-D.

And I'm Clavell, that's with a "C."

Let me give you one of my calling cards.
You know, I'm fresh out. Howard.

[Laughing] Bam!

All right, now, check this out.

Pay no attention to that sign language
stuff on the front, all right?

'Cause that's not what
we're all about, okay?

But, look here, not that
we ain't down with the deaf. Get it?

Now, this is B.D.'s beeper number, all right?
You can call me anytime.

I don't think my husband
would approve.

Bam! In reverse! [Laughing]

Not that we're cheap
or anything like that.

But it's about that whole
big recycling thing, you know?

Excuse me.

- Salmon!
- Cakes.

Ahh!

Excuse me, are you
in this agent business?

- Actually, I'm a film producer.
- Right.

Ain't that a blip?
'Scuse me, but we are too.

You probably heard of us...
Funky Finger Productions.

You know our callin' card,
the scratch and sniff one.

- N-No, I haven't heard of you guys.
- Well, look.

I'm on the creative end
and Clavey handles the business.

He's got a lot of experience... Amway,
Herbal Life and, dig this, d*ck Gregory.

We gots to be down with the brothers,
you know what I'm sayin'.

But here's the kicker.
You remember them little sea monkeys?

I'm gonna bring 'em back, homey, only this
time I'm puttin' little cowboy hats on 'em.

- What does that have to do
with producing movies?
- You don't get it, huh?

We take the profits from the sea monkeys
and dump 'em into our movie.

Now, look here.
Already shot the trailer.

[Both] Bam!

Calm yourself. This is on camcorder,
but this sucker really cooks.

Now, look here.
We call this Penitentiary Four.

But dig it, you put your ducats down,
call it anything you want!

'Scuse me, baby. I'm sorry.

Oh, look here, this is a problem.
The lens cap was on.

[Laughing] All right, you ready?

Clavey, let me finish up frying up
this here baloney, all right?

How many times I've got to tell you I'm on
a budget? Now go ahead on and start.

- Oh, right.
- All right, go ahead. Kick it.

- Give it up, y'all.
- Action. That's action, Clavey.

Oh, l-I'm sorry. Actionini.

Here we go. Now, I been in
this penitentiary three times already...

so I guess that makes this
Penitentiary Four.

- Now what's that booger
on the side of yo cheek?
- That's a scar.

And lookin'good too. Sorry. Now, tell me
one more thing. What's this button here do?

Now that spells big bucks.
What do you say?

Oh, you-you speechless?
Well, let me give you the kicker.

Look here. What we tryin' to do is kinda
combine Blacula meets Coffy.

Now you know what that spells...
more ducats in the hip pocket!

- [Laughing] You know?
- Excuse me, I gotta go.

- He's not down.
- Well, his loss, our gain.

- Dig that.
- Those are the guys.

Hey, y'all, party over here!

I told you Madonna
would be down with us.

You, guys? Weren't you in
Sister Sledge's green room yesterday?

- Oh, yes.
- Oh, is the Sister in town,
'cause she hasn't called me!

Look here. You're probably here
to move my Torino.

Now this key is for
my crib in El Segundo.

It's in foreclosure, but that
ain't nothin' but a business deal.

- Give him a card, homey.
- Bam!

[Woman Narrating] At this season's
international fashion show in Paris...

Iraqi fashion designer
Macbar Al Fakar...

took top honors but also
his life in his own hands...

when he revealed his radical new line
updating traditional garments...

which had not been altered
for thousands of years.

This year, Fakar has taken
daring risks with hemlines...

sometimes revealing
almost an entire ankle.

The beauty of Fakar's designs
is that they can be worn anywhere.

Actually, Fakar explained
they must be worn everywhere...

at all times, according to law.

Fakar also gave
a tantalizing preview...

of what they'll be wearing on
the Iraqi beaches this season.

That is, what they would be wearing
if they were allowed on the beaches.

The designs of Macbar Al Fakar...

keeping Iraqi women one step ahead,
but always three steps behind the men.

This is Elsa Klutch with another
Style Minute for Fox News, Paris.

- You know, we do whatever
we do to survive, brother.
- Drop it.!

Children, the first act
was simply wonderful, wonderful.

Just be sure to speak clearly, okay?
And Edna Louise?

Edna Louise, you come away from that
fire alarm for the fifth time today!

- Mrs. Keegan, I cannot possibly play the sheep!
- Why not?

- Because I have an ocasa
calack adilelaaaa phobia.
- Ooh! What's that?

It's a fear of wearing a stupid
old, smelly sheep costume...

when you really should
have been a princess.

Okay, well, if you're not feeling well, I guess
we'll just have to call your mother then.

Oh, you know something.
It's amazing! I'm cured!

[Laughing]

Parnell, there'll be
no more spitting from you.

I'm not spitting! I happen to have
a severe alignment problem...

that makes it difficult for me
to contain my saliva.

Yeah! In other words,
you've got Bucky Beaver bite! [Chittering]

I do not, Edna!

Edna Louise, you stop it!

- Okay, mean old witch.
- What did you say?

I said, " Whatever you wish,
Your Royal Highness."

Children, we have five more minutes, okay,
so if you have to go, go now.

- Go where?
- To the bathroom.

Made you look, made you stare,
made you eat your underwear.

Oh, you shut up, Edna Louise.

Hey, you know what, Tammy?
I'll gonna do you this big favor, see.

I'll let you be the beautiful sheep
and I'll just be the dumb old princess.

- Go away evil, ugly Edna.
I don't wanna be a stupid sheep.
- Oh, yeah?

- Well, I know a secret about you.
- No, you don't!

- Yes, I do!
- No, you don't!

Yes, I do! Infinity!
You're adopted!

I am not!

- Yes, you are!
- No, I'm not.!

Yes, you are! I saw your picture on...
America's Most Adopted.

And, um, and if you go out there,
the whole audience will recognize you...

and, uh, see, if you're the sheep
then they won't see you.

You shut up, Edna Louise!
That's not true!

Hey, don't take it so hard.

- Ha ha ha, Edna.
- You.

- I told you.
- [Together] Nobody wants to...

You better stop...
You're never gonna...

Parnell, how many times have
I told you that's impolite.

She was the one.

And you, miss, you better learn
how to behave yourself.

- Whatever you say, pruneface.
- What did you say?

I said, " Oh, wow,
I love the human race!"

Children! We have about
five more minutes.

We're getting ready to start the show
right now. Please come in.

Baa! Baa!

[Mouths Words]

I am the beautiful princess...

and... and I'm adopted!

Aha! You evil witch...

your plan has been foiled!

And I, the true princess
of the kingdom...

must come here
to claim my love...

Farmer Brown...
played by Parnell.

Hey, uh, Parnell, you're on.

Way to go, Barfasaurus!

- Oh, my true love...
- You're wreckin' the whole production.

Parnell, just say your lines.

I am a farmer...

and I have come to-to, uh...

- I've traveled very far.
- I've traveled very far, 'cause...

Now I must kiss
the beautiful princess, Edna Louise.

Now I must kiss the beautiful prin...
Hey, I'm not supposed to say that.

- [Laughing]
- Yuck!

What'd you do that for,
Edna-Pedna-big-fat-Nedna?

'Cause I'm in love with you!

That's the grossest, most vomit-like thing
that's ever happened. You are a vomitore.

Yuck! I kissed a sheep!

But, alas! I am not a sheep.

I am a princess in sheep's clothing.
It's a miracle!

They all lived...
They all lived happily ever after.

- The end!

Thank you.

Edna Louise, you come away

- ♪♪ [Classical]
- [Announcer] It's time for
Buffed, Beautiful and Bitchin'...

the at-home workout
with Vera de Milo.

[Husky Voice] Hi, I'm Vera de Milo.
And thanks for tuning in.

You know, before I learned
how to exercise properly...

I was a poor excuse for a woman.

Just look at those unsightly lumps of lard
protruding from my sternum.

I was so weak and frail back then.

I couldn't even tear
a telephone book in half.

But I made that change
and you can too.

So, let's get busy burning off
those bothersome bazooms.

Girls, are you ready?

[All] All righty.

- ♪♪ [Dance]
- Let's start with a stretch... and down.

Okay, now you try.

See how those big breasts
just weigh them down?

I'm tellin' ya, you can't float
'til you get rid of those sinkers.

And now the shoulders.

Come on, girls.
Oh, yeah, that's right.

Uh-uh, that's right.

Now, this one.
Just pull it and pull it.

Really pull it. Really...
[Bones Cracking]

[Yelling]

Oh, wow!

That's gonna be sore in the morning,
but it hurts so good.

And you know what they say...
"No pain, no gain."

Now, before attempting
any serious lifting...

I can't stress enough the importance
of eating a healthy breakfast.

Of course, I prefer mine
in concentrated form.

[Whinnying]

[Nickers]

Another advantage
of my at-home workout...

is that there's no need
for investing in costly weight sets.

With just a little imagination...

a few hefty household appliances
will do just as well.

Deidre, the secret to a strong,
flat championship chest...

is breast bombardment
with maximum weight.

Are you ready?

- All righty!
- [Screaming, Groaning]

That's the spirit!
Show those mammaries no mercy!

Hey, kids, it's time
for Vera's vanity table.

You know, some women spend a lot
of money on lipsticks and glosses...

to make their lips look fuller.

I say you can get
the same effect naturally...

with a nice, hot curling iron.

- Watch.
- [Sizzling]

Of course, it helps to have
a high pain threshold.

But believe me, when these babies
start to blister, look out Michelle Pfeiffer!

Till next time... toodle-oo.
