Over , inmates are prisoners...

not only of their cells,

That's why Barbara Bush
is tearing down those bars...

with her "Read in Jail"campaign.

Here's Buddy.
He just, uh, started your program.

[Clearing Throat]

Thanks to your program,
I can read my sentence now.

"Tri-ple life sen-sentence...

"with n-n-no hope...

for parole."

- Congratulations.
- Well, now, let me introduce you toJohn here.

You know,
he's a real success story.

Thank you, Mrs. Bush.

Before I could read, I was forced to rob
convenience stores for a living.

But since joining
your literacy program...

a whole new world has been
opened up to me...

embezzlement.

Yeah, we're so proud of him.
And finally here, there's, uh, Oswald.

[Clears Throat]
He's one of our, uh, most enthusiastic students.

- [Clears Throat]
- Oh, yeah.

The pancreatic philosophy of your book,
you understand...

has "syphillized" the shaft, you dig?

And opened my "mucal" membranes,
you understand...

to a world... oh, yes...

a world of nocturnal commissions.

- Warden, may I?
- Guard!

Run a lockup.

So, what you're saying
then, Oswald...

is that the viscous "mammarian" glands...

- Mm-hmm.
- Which "scrofulate" my work...

- Right.
- Clearly disembowel the "placentitude"...

of the very "recticitality"...

- Uh-huh.
- Of my virtue.

Ah, exactly. "Pubile."

- It is the quasi-menstrual...
- Mm-hmm.

- Excuse me, Quasimodo...
- Point taken.

Phlebitis that makes
your book so, uh...

[Sniffs]
Clitoric.

- Oh, yes.
- And reminiscent of the Oedipus...

or the "Pedipus," depending on
which end is up.

Uh! I think I'm beginning
to see the light.

The entire premise
of my book was wrong.

- Way off.
- Well, I'd better start
on a new version immediately.

Possibly the closest friend
I've ever had.

Really?

You want to terminate
that friendship, Frank?

Then don't tell me

Man.

Let me see. It's pretty bad.
Why don't you just go ahead on home, okay?

- You mean back to the base?
- Yeah, back to home base.

W-Why don't you get Gray Squirrel

All right?

Okay, Frank.
If that's your preference.

Looks like everything here is pretty much
under control now anyway.

as you know, we voted
at our September meeting...

to invite one of the poor unfortunates
from our city streets...

Thank you. It was felt
that his presence here...

would make us appreciate
the things we have...

as well as generally make us
feel good for feeding a poor person.

So, without further ado...

here now is Anton Jackson.

Anton?

I hope I'm not too late.

The limo dropped me off too soon.

It had one of them bumpers
you couldn't hang on to. [Laughs]

Wouldn't you like to freshen up
before dinner?

Cleanliness is next to Godliness, I say.

Oh, thanks a lot.
I wouldn't want the Lord...

to see me giving thanks
with this up my nose.

Hey, could you put that
in your napkin for me?

Uh, Mr. Jackson, as our guest...

would you like to say a few words?

Oh, certainly.
I'd love to impose a toast, if I may.

There's wine. Drink up.

May your liquor be cold...

your women be hot...

and all your problems
slide off like snot.

Drink up, man.

Everybody drink up.

Mr. Jackson, l...
I wonder if you wouldn't be so kind...

as to do the honors
with the turkey.

Hey, I ain't never done nothin'
with no turkey before!

Who told you that?
Clarence? He's lyin'.

Okay. Once,
when I was desperate.

And the turkey kept teasing me,
going, "Gobble, gobble, gobble."

No, eh, uh... Mr. Jackson, I was simply asking
if you would like to cut the turkey.

Oh, I might as well.

I just cut the cheese.

How about a wing?
Here's a wing for you.

You can have a wing.

I bet you like dark meat.

How about a leg for you?

Oh, look, the wishbone.

You feel lucky?

- Uh...
- Go ahead and take a pull.

U-Uh, Mr. Jackson, if you'll just
be seated, then I'll serve the turkey.

Oh, you'll serve the turkey. All right,
