1. It seems today that all you see
Copy !req
2. Is violence in movies and sex on TV
Copy !req
3. But where are those
Good old-fashioned values
Copy !req
4. On which we used to rely?
Copy !req
5. Lucky there's a family guy
Copy !req
6. Lucky there's a man who positively can do
Copy !req
7. All the things that make us
Copy !req
8. Laugh and cry
Copy !req
9. He's a family guy!
Copy !req
10. Hi, it's me, Peter, your TV cartoon pal.
Copy !req
11. You know, Lois has been bitching lately
that I watch too much TV
Copy !req
12. and don't read enough books.
Copy !req
13. So, I went to the library
and picked up three books
Copy !req
14. by the greatest author
of the last thousand years:
Copy !req
15. Stephen King.
Copy !req
16. And tonight, I'd like
to share them with you.
Copy !req
17. We begin with a little tale
called "Stand By Me,"
Copy !req
18. about four young boys
who went looking for a dead body
Copy !req
19. and instead found themselves.
Copy !req
20. And also a dead body.
Copy !req
21. The year was 1955.
Copy !req
22. And the voice in my head
was that of Richard Dreyfuss.
Copy !req
23. I never had friends
like the ones I had when I was 12.
Copy !req
24. There was me, Petey LeChance...
Copy !req
25. Anyone else fed up with this
oversaturation of media?
Copy !req
26. Three channels and still nothing on.
Copy !req
27. Then there was Joey Duchamps.
Copy !req
28. The voice in his head was Roy Scheider.
Copy !req
29. How are you, Richard?
Copy !req
30. Fine, Roy, how are you?
Copy !req
31. Good, good.
Copy !req
32. We should grab a drink sometime
and catch up,
Copy !req
33. maybe reminisce about Jaws.
Copy !req
34. Great, you should
give mea call sometime.
Copy !req
35. My number's 555...
Copy !req
36. Wait, wait. What? 555?
Uh, yeah.
Copy !req
37. You know what, Richard,
Copy !req
38. if you don't want to have drinks,
just say so.
Copy !req
39. You don't have to be a dick about it.
Copy !req
40. Oh, please, make the voices stop!
Copy !req
41. And then
there wasQuag Chambers.
Copy !req
42. He was the leader of our gang.
Copy !req
43. He had sex when he was five
Copy !req
44. and committed his first rape
when he was ten.
Copy !req
45. Rape, of course, being legal in the '50s.
Copy !req
46. Beat those cards, fellas!
Copy !req
47. Giggity, giggity, '50s giggity.
Copy !req
48. Hey, you guys...
Copy !req
49. Finally, there was Cleve Brown,
my pudgy, Black friend.
Copy !req
50. I can still see him now,
all pudgy and Black.
Copy !req
51. Cleve, please,
we're busy looking at Playboy.
Copy !req
52. Look at the way these women
starve themselves.
Copy !req
53. This one can't be more than 180 pounds.
Copy !req
54. This is way better than Playboy.
Copy !req
55. Do you guys want to see a dead body?
Copy !req
56. Cleve, it's 1955.
Copy !req
57. Please reenter the clubhouse
Copy !req
58. in a more stereotypically
animated fashion.
Copy !req
59. Lord Almighty, I done seen me
a dead body down by the lake!
Copy !req
60. Sure 'nough,
I thought I'd go deaf and dumb
Copy !req
61. when I saw me that dead bod...
Copy !req
62. Cleve, calm down!
You're not making any sense!
Copy !req
63. Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer
Copy !req
64. Anything was possible
as we set out that day.
Copy !req
65. Except contracting AIDS,
because AIDS had not yet
Copy !req
66. been invented by the government
in an effort
Copy !req
67. to eradicate the homosexual community.
Copy !req
68. Have gun, will travel
Copy !req
69. Reads the card of a man
Copy !req
70. A knight without armor
In a savage land
Copy !req
71. Okay, I got another one.
Copy !req
72. Show me that smile again
Copy !req
73. Ooh, show me that smile
Copy !req
74. Don't waste another minute on your crying
Copy !req
75. We decided to cut through
Old Man Pressman's junkyard,
Copy !req
76. even though legend had it
Copy !req
77. that any kid caught
scaling the fence ran the risk
Copy !req
78. of being attacked by
the old man's dog,
Copy !req
79. who would charge to the cry
of'Chopper, sic balls."
Copy !req
80. I got a bad feeling about this.
Copy !req
81. Hey! What are you kids doing?
Copy !req
82. Oh, no, it's him!
Copy !req
83. That's right. I'm Old Man Pressman.
I own the junkyard.
Copy !req
84. I'm cranky 'cause all my stuff is junk.
Why can't I have nice things?
Copy !req
85. Chopper, sic 'em! Sic 'em, boy!
Copy !req
86. Now, he said, "Sic 'em, boy,"
but what I heard was,
Copy !req
87. "Chopper, talk todisfigured
World War II veterans
Copy !req
88. "who aren't as bitter as they should be."
Copy !req
89. Glad I could do my part.
Copy !req
90. I think you may have done too much.
Copy !req
91. Hey, how about this brand new thing
Copy !req
92. called rock and roll?
Copy !req
93. Even though it was just invented,
we already remember it fondly.
Copy !req
94. Here's Little Richard
with "Piano Riff Woo!"
Copy !req
95. Woo
Copy !req
96. Woo
Copy !req
97. Woo
Copy !req
98. Woo
Copy !req
99. - Woo
Copy !req
100. - Woo
Copy !req
101. Woo
Copy !req
102. My ass!
Copy !req
103. Man, this trip is dangerous.
Couldn't we have just taken a bus?
Copy !req
104. Black guy.
Copy !req
105. Uh, guys, anyone know
when the next train is scheduled?
Copy !req
106. Don't worry, if a train comes,
I'll warn you in slow motion.
Copy !req
107. Train!
Copy !req
108. My legs!
Copy !req
109. Another train!
Copy !req
110. What an odd, clustered train schedule!
Copy !req
111. Hey, sorry you got paralyzed, Joey.
Copy !req
112. Oh, it's all right.
Copy !req
113. Thanks for going all the way back
to the junkyard to get me this wheelchair.
Copy !req
114. Boy, was Old Man Pressman angry.
Copy !req
115. Ooh!
Copy !req
116. Well, there it is.
Copy !req
117. None of us could breathe.
Copy !req
118. The twisted and mangled body
we had come to see
Copy !req
119. was far more disgusting
than any of us
Copy !req
120. could ever have imagined.
Copy !req
121. He's nasty.
Copy !req
122. Out of my way, you little pipsqueaks.
Copy !req
123. I'm taking credit
for finding this body.
Copy !req
124. It was the meanest guy in town,
Copy !req
125. Ace, and his whole gang:
Copy !req
126. Beast-Man, Mer-Man,
and forsome reason Norm from Cheers.
Copy !req
127. Hey, gang.
What, are we beating somebody up?
Copy !req
128. Now get lost. We'll take it from here.
Copy !req
129. Kiss my grits, you cheap dime store hood.
Copy !req
130. This ain't over, LeChance.
Copy !req
131. I mean, you have a gun
right now, but tomorrow,
Copy !req
132. I'll get a gun and come
to your house and kill you.
Copy !req
133. Oh.
Copy !req
134. Yeah, I guess you could do that, huh?
Copy !req
135. I mean, we live in the same town.
Copy !req
136. And I can't just be on my guard
for the rest of my life.
Copy !req
137. Boy, that is a major hole in this story.
Okay, take the body.
Copy !req
138. We never forgot
that wonderful summer,
Copy !req
139. and eventually we all went
our separate ways.
Copy !req
140. Joey learned to live
without the use of his legs,
Copy !req
141. and even went on to create
a wheelchair-type rugby game
Copy !req
142. called "Don't Feel Sorry for Us Ball."
Copy !req
143. Cleve grew up and went on
to marry Rebecca Romjin.
Copy !req
144. Actually, I'm not even joking about that.
Copy !req
145. The fat kid from Stand By Me
is now marriedto Rebecca Romjin.
Copy !req
146. Can you believe that? I swear to God.
Look it up on the Internet.
Copy !req
147. Doesn't that piss you off?
Copy !req
148. Quag grew up to become
a famous Hollywood actor.
Copy !req
149. Unfortunately, about a week ago,
Copy !req
150. he took an overdose of designer
drugs at the Viper Room.
Copy !req
151. He died on the curb outside.
Copy !req
152. And now we're left with
a hare-lipped reminder
Copy !req
153. of what might have been.
Copy !req
154. Hi. Welcome back from commercials.
Copy !req
155. Joaquin Phoenix,
if you're still watching,
Copy !req
156. you are a good sport and a trouper.
Copy !req
157. And you passed our test.
And you can be our friend.
Copy !req
158. And now for a segment we like
a little less than the first and the last.
Copy !req
159. Here's Misery.
Copy !req
160. Marcia, I've done it.
Copy !req
161. I've finished the book,
and Snuggly Jeff is dead,
Copy !req
162. and the readers are just gonna love it.
Copy !req
163. Paul, I still wish I could
talk you out of this.
Copy !req
164. Snuggly Jeff is the most successful
children's book series ever.
Copy !req
165. Yeah, but I want to get into
writing more serious stuff.
Copy !req
166. You know, something where
the reader doesn't have
Copy !req
167. a load in his pants
while he's looking at it.
Copy !req
168. Well, we'll talk about
it when you get back.
Copy !req
169. This just in.
Copy !req
170. The weather service has reported
a big snow storm on its way.
Copy !req
171. Oh, my God! Stephen King!
Copy !req
172. Hey, this would make a neat story!
Copy !req
173. Done.
Copy !req
174. I'm your number one fan.
I'm your number one fan.
Copy !req
175. I'm your number one fan.
Copy !req
176. Who... Who are you?
Copy !req
177. I'm Stewie Wilkes. I saved your life.
Copy !req
178. You were in a terrible car accident
and you broke both your legs.
Copy !req
179. I taste lipstick. Am I wearing lipstick?
Copy !req
180. Not anymore.
Copy !req
181. Um, Paul, quick question,
and feel free to say no.
Copy !req
182. But I couldn't help but notice the new
Snuggly Jeff manuscript in your bag,
Copy !req
183. and I was wondering if I could read it,
then kill you if I hate it?
Copy !req
184. Well, I guess that'd be okay.
Copy !req
185. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Copy !req
186. Can I read it while I touch
your ear and suck my thumb?
Copy !req
187. - Uh, I guess.
- Oh, goody, goody!
Copy !req
188. Stewie?
Copy !req
189. I just finished the book,
you dirty birdie.
Copy !req
190. How could you? He can't be dead.
Copy !req
191. Snuggly Jeff cannot be dead!
Copy !req
192. Look, Stewie, I've gone as far
as I can with Snuggly Jeff,
Copy !req
193. and I... I want to write
something more serious.
Copy !req
194. Well, you are gonna write Snuggly Jeff
back to life, Mr. Man.
Copy !req
195. Look, Stewie, first of all,
you're insane.
Copy !req
196. And second of all,
I have to be inspired before I write.
Copy !req
197. Well, how about a little TV?
Copy !req
198. We now return to Magnum B.M.
Copy !req
199. Magnum, I found a fingerprint
smudge at the crime scene.
Copy !req
200. Do you have poo on your hands?
Copy !req
201. A little.
Copy !req
202. No, no, no. This won't do, Paul.
Copy !req
203. You can't just have Snuggly Jeff
Copy !req
204. magically brought back to life
by a child's wish.
Copy !req
205. - It's insulting to the reader.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
206. Well, it's just bad storytelling.
Copy !req
207. Let's see. How can I explain this to you?
Copy !req
208. - Did you ever see the movie Contact?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
209. So, like, they spent a trillion
dollars building this mile-high
Copy !req
210. space machine and Jake Busey blows it up,
so now, they're all like,
Copy !req
211. "Oh, no. We can't use the space machine."
Copy !req
212. But then this other guy's like,
"Hey, it just so happens,
Copy !req
213. "I built another identical
trillion-dollar space machine
Copy !req
214. "at my own expense
on the other side of the world."
Copy !req
215. And we're supposed to believe
no one noticed that?
Copy !req
216. Well, I stood up in the theater,
and I said,
Copy !req
217. "No! You can't go into space
because the machine
Copy !req
218. "already got blown up
by Jake cock-a-doody Busey!"
Copy !req
219. Start over!
Copy !req
220. Fine. But you're going
to have to go into town
Copy !req
221. and get me some more paper. I'm all out.
Copy !req
222. I don't know, Paul.
Copy !req
223. Let me see if I can get
the Big Wheel started.
Copy !req
224. Oh, I don't know, Paul. It's not starting.
Copy !req
225. Oh, I'm afraid I'm going to flood it.
Copy !req
226. Okay. I got it now.
I'll see you in a bit.
Copy !req
227. He's too big for that car.
Copy !req
228. - Mr. Sheldon?
- Oh, my God. I'm saved.
Copy !req
229. Let's get out of here
before Stewie gets back.
Copy !req
230. Ahh! My legs!
Copy !req
231. Now I'm going to have to spend
the rest of my life in a wheelchair.
Copy !req
232. No, you're not.
Copy !req
233. Well, that's it, Stewie.
The book is done.
Copy !req
234. Can I go now?
Copy !req
235. Oh, no, Paul. I'm not stupid.
Copy !req
236. If I let you go, you'll just
run straight to the police
Copy !req
237. and tell them I kidnapped you
and held you hostage
Copy !req
238. and fondled you while you were asleep.
Copy !req
239. No, I won't... Wait. What?
Copy !req
240. You'll tell them that
while you were sleeping,
Copy !req
241. I did things to you
that you don't remember.
Copy !req
242. You fondled me while I was asleep?
Copy !req
243. - Yeah.
- I don't think I like that.
Copy !req
244. Well, it's done.
Copy !req
245. Everybody still awake?
All right. Big finish.
Copy !req
246. Now, you remember
that Stephen King story
Copy !req
247. when the guy went up to the empty hotel
Copy !req
248. and there were those creepy twins
Copy !req
249. and the guy was running
around with that ax
Copy !req
250. and the kid talked to his finger?
Copy !req
251. Aw, can't you see Stewie doing that?
Copy !req
252. Well, here's The Shawshank Redemption.
Copy !req
253. The first time I laid eyes
on Andy Dufresne,
Copy !req
254. I didn't think much of him.
Copy !req
255. He was a fat drink of water.
Copy !req
256. The kind of drink of water
that you know your friend got
Copy !req
257. from the bathroom
and not from the kitchen.
Copy !req
258. Five packs of cigarettes
says the fat one breaks first tonight.
Copy !req
259. You're on. I'll take
the Don-Martin-looking one.
Copy !req
260. A month went by before Andy
said two words to somebody.
Copy !req
261. As it turned out,
that somebody was me.
Copy !req
262. Vagina boob.
Copy !req
263. Later, Andy came back
with more than two words.
Copy !req
264. I understand you're a man
who knows how to get things.
Copy !req
265. I've been known to procure
various and sundry items.
Copy !req
266. I... I don't understand
what you just said.
Copy !req
267. I need stuff. Can you get it?
Copy !req
268. What do you need?
Copy !req
269. - I need a rock hammer.
- What's it for?
Copy !req
270. I carve Star Wars figurines out of stone.
Copy !req
271. But it's also for not
tunneling my way out of here.
Copy !req
272. Wow. Can you carve me
a set of women's private parts
Copy !req
273. - out of stone?
- Sure.
Copy !req
274. Or you could just have
sex with Helen Hunt.
Copy !req
275. Oh, we've only had one conversation,
Copy !req
276. but I can tell we're going
to be lifelong friends.
Copy !req
277. And since you're Black and I'm white,
Copy !req
278. that makes it more
a-special for the audience.
Copy !req
279. Inspection!
Copy !req
280. You Andy Dufresne?
Copy !req
281. A little bit. You?
Copy !req
282. I'm just tweaking your bum.
What can I do for you?
Copy !req
283. I understand you make
Star Wars figurines.
Copy !req
284. Oh, Grievous! Wicked!
Copy !req
285. Well, anyway, I'm a pretty corrupt guy,
Copy !req
286. so I figured I could sell your
figurines and pocket the cash.
Copy !req
287. What do you say?
Copy !req
288. - I don't know.
- Oh, come on.
Copy !req
289. I'll even cripple that guy
who rapes you in the shower.
Copy !req
290. - But I like that guy.
- Too late.
Copy !req
291. Oh, my legs!
Copy !req
292. Two things never
happened againafter that.
Copy !req
293. Boggs never walked again,
Copy !req
294. and Andy's farts
never made a sound again.
Copy !req
295. Thanks to the Star Wars
figurines Andy carved,
Copy !req
296. he landed a cushy job cleaning
the warden's office.
Copy !req
297. Okay. You clean up
the warden's office
Copy !req
298. while I go pop out a pinecone.
Copy !req
299. A few times I've been around that track
Copy !req
300. So it's not just gonna happen like that
Copy !req
301. 'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl
Copy !req
302. I ain't no hollaback girl...
Copy !req
303. To this day, I have no idea
what that womanwas singing about.
Copy !req
304. Like, literally, no idea.
Copy !req
305. I don't know what a hollaback girl is,
Copy !req
306. but I have to imagine
it'sa foul, disease-ridden thing
Copy !req
307. that wears too much makeup
to cover up the fact
Copy !req
308. that it's a 47-year-old fish-dog.
Copy !req
309. Andy, I think you know why
I've called you in here today.
Copy !req
310. A prison is an environment which
requires the highest level of discipline.
Copy !req
311. And that little stunt you pulled today...
Copy !req
312. That little stunt you pulled today
made a lot of people look very foolish.
Copy !req
313. Look, Warden, we got it rough in here.
Copy !req
314. I just thought we could use
a little music.
Copy !req
315. Music is expressly forbidden
inside prison walls.
Copy !req
316. My God,
how could you be so obtuse?
Copy !req
317. What did you call me?
Copy !req
318. Obtuse. You're being obtuse.
Copy !req
319. Two months in the hole.
Copy !req
320. Or am I being obtuse?
Copy !req
321. No. Now you're being acute.
Copy !req
322. That time in the hole
changed ol' Andy.
Copy !req
323. I'm getting out
of here tonight, Red.
Copy !req
324. I'm going to take
the poop pipe to the crap swamp.
Copy !req
325. Wow. Where you headed
once you get out?
Copy !req
326. Zijuatanejo.
Copy !req
327. Sounds fancy.
Copy !req
328. Well, actually,
it's a filthy Mexican village.
Copy !req
329. Listen, Red. When you get out of here,
Copy !req
330. I want you to do something for me.
Copy !req
331. Up in a hay field in Buxton,
Maine, under an old oak tree,
Copy !req
332. there's a rock that has no
earthly business being there.
Copy !req
333. Under that rock is a box with
something I want you to have.
Copy !req
334. 'Course, now I think about it,
I been in here 25 years.
Copy !req
335. All these landmarks are based on
possibly outdated observations.
Copy !req
336. That whole area could be
a Wal-Mart by now.
Copy !req
337. If it is, pick yourself up
some nice, cheap pants
Copy !req
338. and good life to you.
Copy !req
339. - Inspection!
Copy !req
340. Dufresne? Dufresne!
Copy !req
341. Dufresne, you'd better
get your ass out here
Copy !req
342. before you make me
cut this sentence shor...
Copy !req
343. Where is he? Where the hell is Dufresne?
Copy !req
344. - I don't know, sir.
- I want him found now.
Copy !req
345. Not after breakfast.
Copy !req
346. Not after CSI.
Copy !req
347. Now!
Copy !req
348. God, I'm so angry,
I could just throw a rock
Copy !req
349. at that poster of David Cassidy.
Copy !req
350. What the warden and his boys
didn't realize
Copy !req
351. was that Andy Dufresne had
escaped from Shawshank Prison
Copy !req
352. the night before.
Copy !req
353. No one told you
Copy !req
354. Life was gonna be this way...
Copy !req
355. Andy crawled to freedom
Copy !req
356. through 500 yards of foulness
I can't even imagine.
Copy !req
357. Andy Dufresne,
Copy !req
358. the man who crawled
through a river of poop
Copy !req
359. and came out clean on the other side.
Copy !req
360. Why he chose enchilada night,
