You are strong, you are beautiful,
you are perfect.
Welcome once again to the show
by, for and about women...
- Go on Girl.
- All right.
I'm your host,
Shawanda Harvey.
Tonight, we're pitting
the independent woman of the ' s...
against the traditional homemaker
of the past.
Please welcome the very motherly,
Mrs. George Bush.
- Go on, girl!
- Go on, girl!
- [Audience Applauding]
- Thank you so much.
Please, call me Barbara, Shanaqua.
- Uh, please call me Shawanda, Barbara.
- Hmm?
Girl, you are sound, you are strong.
- You are a shining example of womanhood.
- Oh, thank you, Shiitake.
Incidentally, uh, I brought you something...
an apple pie that I baked myself.
- Mmm!
- Go on, girl.
My next guest is the very independent,
Miss Hillary Clinton.
[Audience]
Go on, girl!
- [Audience Applauding]
- Girl, you are bold,
you are bad, you are beautiful.
- Welcome, sister.
- Thank you, Shawanda.
It's a pleasure to be here.
I'm sorry I didn't bring anything.
But I'm a partner in a very
prestigious law firm...
and I don't sit around the house
baking cookies all day.
[Laughing]
Well, Shenandoah...
I'm not going to apologize, really,
for believing that being a mother...
was more important than pursuing
some personal, rather selfish, career goals.
Oh, she does have a point.
Perhaps I should stay at home and make sure
that my children don't grow up...
and become savings and loan crooks.
- Or adulterers.
- Excuse me?
Well, uh, sister, they say that this
horny Gomer Pyle husband of yours...
did go off and sleep
with that other woman.
Now, that's never been proved.
I mean, I know my Bill.
Who doesn't?
I trust him.
And I could care less about some allegations
made by a desperate woman.
In fact, it means so little to me,
I can't even remember this woman's name.
I believe it was Gennifer Flowers, dear.
I hold no grudges against her.
I just want to become First Lady so I can
become more involved in the social issues.
I mean, in fact, I've already started
a new support group.
It's called Mothers Against Sluts.
Well, this sister is dedicated.
This sister is daring.
This sister is drinking!
Ask her about the affair
her husband had.
[Chuckles]
Well, my goodness, Shaka Zulu,
that was never confirmed.
That was never confirmed at all.
It was not proven.
It was an allegation made
by some very jealous people.
Well, what do you expect?
Your husband used to run the C.I.A.
I mean, if he can hide
missiles under the Ayatollah...
he can sure as hell
hide a few pairs of nasty boxers!
Sisters, sisters, please!
Now, you are better than this.
You are proud.
You are persevering.
Girl, you a pig!
You can't really blame her.
She's just trying to fill in all those wrinkles!
Oh, yeah?
Well, your daughter's so ugly,
Woody Allen wouldn't even touch her!
Sisters, please!
Now, now, now.
Haven't we suffered enough
at the hands of men?
We must unshackle ourselves
from the vices of the weaker sex.
We must band together
and find our true selves.
- Shawanda, you are so right.
- I know.
- This isn't the real me.
- Mm-hmm.
- I hate this dress!
- I do too.
- This is the real me.
- Wow! Were you on Hee Haw?
No!
Dukes of Hazzard.
And I'm not some
stuffed corporate type.
I'm a party girl and I wanna rock!
- Oh, my!
- You've gone a little too far, girl.
You know something, Chaka Khan,
I've got something I'd like to tell you too.
I am not who I pretend to be.
They force to me to dress this way.
Oh, now, don't you go on, girl.
They forced me to masquerade
as George's mother for too long!
I want to live!
I want to live!
I'm not even fat!
I've got an idea.
Let's go to Chippendales...
and cram some of that campaign support
into some jock straps!
- Well, all right!
- Ar! Ar! Ar!
Last one there buys the margaritas.
Whoo-hoo!
Now, that's what a domineering man
will do for you, sisters.
Now, if Bush and Clinton
can't satisfy their own wives...
what are they gonna do
for the rest of the country?
Until next time,
Go on Girl. Wait up.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
I have actually bent the spoon...
using merely the powers
of my incredible mind.
- [Applause]
- Isn't that wild? Isn't that wild?
Now, the Kreskin challenge.
I will give $ ,
to anyone in this room...
who can duplicate or surpass
what I'm doing here tonight.
Is there anybody in the room
who is versed...
in the art of psychic phenomenon?
Yo, yo, yo, Kreskin!
Let me get in on this challenge, man.
- You want to do this?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You would like to come in here
and show us your stuff?
- Yeah, yeah. Let me get on it.
- [Woman] Wow!
- Isn't that wild?
Oh, you poor sucker.
Okay. What is your name, sir?
Uh, my name is The Amazing...
[Clears Throat] uh, Laurent.
The Amazing Laurent.
Well, Laurent, I love a challenge.
You, give me your hand.
[Sniffing]
I'm sensing...
I'm sensing that in the last month
you've had visitors. Am I correct?
- Yeah, my parents were just here on vacation.
- That's right.
Isn't that wild?
All right, all right.
[Blows]
All right, give me a pound.
All right.
Now, I believe in the past month...
you was up against a wall
assuming the position.
- Yeah, I was pulled over by the police twice.
- Ha ha.
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
- I can even tell you exactly
what the police said, right?
- Right.
- " You fit the description of
somebody we lookin' for."
- Yeah.
- "Step away from the vehicle."
- Yeah.
- "Sit your butt on the curb."
- Yeah.
- "Put your hands behind your neck."
- Yeah.
- "You got any dr*gs in this car?"
- That's what he said.
- "You look like you high on P.C.P."
- Yeah.
- " You been associating
with known g*ng members?"
- Hell, yeah...
- "Wasn't you in the car with Rodney King?"
- No, man!
That's what he said! That's what he said, dawg!
That's what he said, man!
Isn't that amusing?
[Chuckling]
Quite amusing... indeed.
But not quite an example
of psychic phenomenon.
- Watch and learn. Madam.
- Oh!
I sense that during the last year
this lady has changed careers.
But she does not like her new job.
Am I correct?
Huh? Yes! That's right.
Hey, I do hate my new job.
- Isn't that wild?
- That's weak.
Isn't that amazing?
Top that, Laurent.
All right, all right.
Uh, I'm sensing in the last year...
you couldn't find not near
no parts of no job, right?
That's right,
and I was looking too.
Ah! Ah!
And I'm also sensing that you
would have loved to have that job...
- that old white lady's over there bitching about.
- In a minute.
Why don't you tell us something more
specific about her? Intimate details. Huh?
All right. Okay.
And I'm also sensing, uh, that...
- Yo, girl, that a wig?
- Hell, no.
All right. Uh, I'm sensing that,
in the last month...
you, uh, b*rned up the back of your neck, uh,
in the kitchen more than once with a hot comb.
- Damn, if he ain't right! He is good!
- Yeah! Ha ha!
Through my telekinetic powers...
I will now read
what is inside your purse.
I'm seeing a word...
"phenomenon." No.
Uh, I'm seeing the letters T-W-A.
Do they mean anything to you?
Yes. I have a plane ticket on TWA.
Isn't that eerie?
Come on, gimme those, girl.
- Don't! Don't...
- Hey, hey, hey, hey! All right! Okay!
- Get away from my purse!
- You gonna get it back!
You gonna get it back!
Sit down.
Would you stop that?
I'm, uh, sensing some letters.
I'm sensing three letters... T-C-B.
That mean anything to you?
- That's my activator!
- Ha ha!
- There they are.
- Give me that!
Damn! And judging from that attitude,
I'm sensing three more letters... O-B-G.
Those my tampons!
How did he know about them? My tampons?
I know your game now.
Let me pick the person.
Tell me what that lady
is thinking right over there?
All right, all right.
Excuse me. All right, man.
- Bitch, you scared of me?
- Yes!
All right, give me my money.
Give me my money. Give me my money.
- No.
- Give me my money.
- I don't think so.
- Give the man his money.
Give me my money! Give me...
All right, see, see.
This is how it started, right? This is how
it started, Normandy and Florence.
Right? Right up here.
All right, look, I got one last prediction.
I sense in this room hostility,
I sense anger...
and if you don't give me my money right now,
I sense a natural ass whupping!
The Amazing Laurent,
ladies and gentlemen.
- The Amazing Laurent.
- Hey, Laurent, wait up.
Letitia, wait!
Letitia! Leti...

What do you want to know?
Well, uh, let me get right
to the point, Miss Tramell.
I need to ask you some questions
about Steve Derrick.
Uh-huh.
When was the last time you saw him?
- The last time?
- Yeah.

- Whoa. Oh.
Uh, was he?
Um, why don't you, uh...

sort of flesh out the details.
Maybe I can get
all of the evidence I need.
Whatever you want.
You're the cop.

He was all tied up.
Naked... and helpless.
Oh.

Then my girlfriend took over.

I love you.
I think this was yours.
Still got the flavor.
Ooh, it's a policeman.
How you doing?
Is that a Taser in your pocket
or are you just happy to see me?
[Chuckles] Hey, look, I wish could see you,
but your voice sounds lovely.
Okay, then. Well, if you think
the voice is milky smooth, wait

Hey, look, why don't you tell me
what happened between you and Derrick?
Okay, then. First of all, I stripped down
to my unmentionables, right?
My Victoria's Secretions.

- Oh, God, yes.
And then I creeped up on him
like I was a gorilla in the mist.
[Imitating Gorilla]

Ooh! Hunt me down
