| SAM Well over three and a half centuries ago, strengthened by faith and bound by a common desire for liberty, a small band of pilgrims left their homes to seek out a place in the new world where they could worship according to their own beliefs…and solve crimes. TOBY Sam. SAM By day they churned butter and worshipped according to their own beliefs and by night they solved crimes. TOBY Sam. SAM Pilgrim detectives. TOBY Do you see me laughing? SAM I think you’re laughing on the inside. TOBY Right. SAM With the funny hats. LEO These are high school students. Two of them are on their knees praying while being hand cuffed, with my sister standing next to the cop whose hand is on his nightstick. TOBY (picking up paper) He's resting it on his nightstick.

The more photo-friendly of the two gets a life at a children's petting zoo, the runner up gets eaten. BARTLET If the Oscars were like that, I'd watch. CJ Donna, have Morton take Troy back to his pen and remember to support his hindquarters. BARTLET What's wrong with his - CJ The turkey's hindquarters. |
