[Stan and Francine in the market]

Saudi Arabia is the greatest country in the world!

Francine

Greatest country in the world?

[singing]

We packed our bags we hopped a plane, we left our happy home.

Uh, Francine, singing is kinda illegal here...

Francine

The culture seemed a bit insane, but you said "Hey, when in Rome..."

Uh, seriously Francine ix-nay on the inging-say..

Francine

Maybe you've got no reason to complain...

But I've got no Y chromosome.

[speaking]

So here's what I don't like about Saudi Arabia. Hit it!

You can't go out unless you are escorted by a man.

And when you do you come home with a butt crack full of sand.

No alcohol, no rum and cokes, and no Dom Perignon.

At least a girl can have a smoke.

MMan

But not on Ramadan.

Oh it's a land of joy, if you are a boy.

But if you are a girl, it's the worst place in the world.

Ok Francine, we get it.

Francine

Oh but I'm just getting started.

American girls, we do pilates.

Starve ourselves until we're hotties.

Why? Because we like our bodies!

Check me out, you uptight Saudis!

[Francine strips down to lingere and boots]

Oh it's so awfully grand.

Come on Francine, stop singing.

Francine

If you are a man.

I'm only back-up singing.

Francine

If you don't take me home soon Stan I think I'm gonna hurl...

It's the worst place in the world.

I started this point system and she's way behind.

Francine

I only want to see the world, explore, and socialize.

But in this town I can't so much as look at other guys!

Cause if I did they'd call me harlot, whore, adulteress.

I'd bet my last riyal you fellas won't approve of this!

Who wants a kiss?

[Francine kisses all the men in the market]

[US airport, Stan kisses the ground]

Gee Dad, 24 hours ago you hated America.

Oh ha ha ha, shut the hell up Hayley.

But you know, I will admit America has its flaws.

Really Dad, like what?

[singing]

Well there's...

Free speech, and there's gun control, and lousy Democrats.

The media's too liberal and everyone's too fat.

The women have careers and form opinions of their own.

We let our wives control our lives...

Francine

Damn it's good to be home!

[family singing]

Our life's not always great, in these United States.

But remember boys and girls...

It's not the worst place in the world!

It's not the worst place in the world, yeah yeah.

Francine

Look at you two. Who would've thought guns would bring you so close together?

I know. If only we could get some guns to the Middle East.

Francine

Any letters for me?

No, just another postcard saying that your hair looks like crap - hey, it's from me!

Francine

Wow! For housewives, those Ladybugs really have it all: a fast-lane life and a slow-motion walk.

LLinda

Ugh. They're snobs, Francine. A girl would have to be pretty desperate to wanna associate-

Francine

Christie! [approaches to Ladybugs] Remember me? Francine. Oh, how I wish I could peel off your skin, put it on and be you. [pauses] I mean, hi.

Francine

Stan, help me. I've been faking an affair to impress the Ladybugs, and they found out I was lying, and now they're trying to kill me!

A cult of murderous housewives. Before 9/11, I wouldn't have believed it. Or at least I'd ask you some follow-up questions. But that's just not the world we live in anymore.

Francine

Hey, Linda. Wanna go to that art auction?

LLinda

We can't. It's our biweekly puzzle night. We are this close to finishing that covered bridge.

Francine

But wouldn't it be fun to mix it up a little?

LLinda

You're right. Let's do the rest of the puzzle without looking at the box! Flying blind! Whoo!

Stan might be an insensitive feelings-hurter, but he'd never cheat on you.

Francine

It's not Stan I'm worried about. It's the female "entertainment" I don't trust. Men throw a little cash out 'em, they'll do anything. Then sometimes when you're on the floor with another girl, guys'll throw money, then pick it up and throw the same singles out there again. Like I'm an idiot. Like I don't have peripheral vision!

[awkward pause]

[held by Deaf Teddy] Ow! Let go of me!

Francine

Hayley, what are you doing here?

I was worried...you were acting so crazy, so I followed you.

DTDeaf Teddy

[through sign language] I found her eavesdropping. Also, I'll need some time off in March. My wife's really on my ass.

Hey, Steve. Somebody left this on your front porch. (gives Steve the doormat)

Great, it's the fat one.

That's a doormat, Barry.

Who's Matt Barry?

God, I hate you so much!

Mom, can Barry stay for dinner?

Francine

If it's okay with his parents.

Oh, they won't care. They never care.

Good people. My kind of people.

(Barry's watch beeps)

Oh, time to take my vitamin. May I have a glass of water?

Fatty can use the garden hose!

[Francine is preparing to kill George Clooney with an axe]

Francine

Well, I'd better run. George Clooney's head is about to have a big opening weekend.

Wait! I've gone along with you on this whole thing, no questions asked, but now I've gotta know. What the hell, Francine? What is this really about? I mean, I hate Susan Sarandon, but you don't see me cutting off my hand. I just cut my hair different for a while.

Francine

What is this about? Just look at that fucker with cucumbers on his eyes! Not a care in the world. No making school lunches, no grocery shopping, no cleaning the house, no one depending on him all the time!

Oh, God. This isn't about some unfulfilled dream. You're having a midlife crisis and you're taking it out on a future senator from California!

Francine

Midlife crisis? Wait. Future senator? Oh, I will fucking chop his head in two!

Francine, don't you see? Sure, Clooney has no cares, no one that depends on him, but... he has no one that depends on him. But you, you have a family: A son, a daughter...

Francine

...and a husband who took a sabbatical from work, moved to Prague, and hired mercenaries to help his wife seduce another man! You probably would have let me sleep with him.

Of course! I assumed you did!

[both laugh]

Francine

I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

[both turn to Clooney]

Francine

You know, I actually feel sorry for him. He'll never know this kind of happiness. Let's go home.

Good news, I found a camp that still has an opening.

Dad, I don't want to go to camp. It's hot and there's always something crawling in your sleeping bag, like a spider or a counselor. Just let me tend to my posies. (leaves)

Francine

Stan, he doesn't want to go to camp.

But I spent my summers at camp, and I had the time of my life. I want him to have that same experience. And besides, gardening's gay.

Francine

I'll have you know, James Coburn had a garden.

I'm sick of your lies about Coburn!

Francine

Just so we're clear, you will not return home from Africa without my son.

I'm going with you. If I can just hold a refugee's hand and look them in the eye, they'll know someone cares.

(laughs) Okay, Bono, settle down.

Francine

Stan, you're being ridiculous. We have a guest out there.

Please, Francine, show some panic. Our son is dating a fatty.

Dad, that's awful. Plus-size women drive our economy with their purchases of Garfield books and Haagen-Dazs.

Francine

You apologize to your son.

For what? You brought fat into our house.

You'd like Debbie if you got to know her, Dad. There's a lot more to her than you think.

There's more of her?!
