two days later: Play O The Year
Mar. 9th, 2006 01:26 amI have one thing to say about the Oscars, and it is this:
KIM: Women's ice hockey.
JEREMY: You're kidding.
KIM: The U.S. women's team won the first Olympic gold medal in ice hockey and there were over four thousand fans in the arena to see them do it.
JEREMY: They beat a team of Slovakian cocktail waitresses, and there were over four thousand people at my cousin Jacob's bar mitzvah.
ELLIOT (to JEREMY): What do you got?
JEREMY: Mark McGwire hits 70.
KIM: It's a little obvious.
JEREMY: Our goal isn't to be cunning, is it?
NATALIE: Can we keep this organized? Pros and cons.
JEREMY: Well, the pro is that he broke an unbreakable record, and the con is Kim likes women's ice hockey.
NATALIE: What's next?
JEREMY: Jeff Gordon.
KIM: No.
JEREMY: Why?
KIM: 'Cause it's NASCAR and who gives a damn.
JEREMY: Who gives a damn?
KIM: How many people give a good damn?
JEREMY: Well, it's the most popular sport in the world, so probably more than four thousand.
NATALIE: Next.
JEREMY: All right. Austrian skier Herman Meier.
NATALIE: Pros.
JEREMY: He got up from one of the most horrific accidents in Olympic history and won the gold medal two days later.
NATALIE: Cons.
KIM: It's downhill skiing.
JEREMY: And?
KIM: Who gives a damn.
...
JEREMY: The Yankees win the World Series.
DANA: That came as a big shock after they won a hundred and fourteen games.
( JEREMY: What is it with this element of surprise you people are looking for? )
