StanAdmit you just want to be on TV.
I just want to be on TV.
[whispers] Kenny! [aloud] I deserve to be on TV.
StanDolphins and whales were framed by the real bombers. A chicken and a cow.
[upon discovering "real" Hiroshima bombers] Chicken and Cow? CHICKEN AND COW?!
CHICKEN AND COW USED POOR DOLPHIN AND WHALE AS A SCAPEGOAT?! THIS IS OUTRAGE!
The fact of the matter is that "fag" is still defined in the dictionary as a pejorative term against homosexuals. And so you are still causing harm to gay people everywhere, whether you mean it differently or not. The town of South Park and its mayor have once again shown themselves to be completely out of touch with the progressive world.
She's gaining support all over the country. I should've never listened to you!
We're sorry, Mayor.
Oh, that's nice. You made our entire town look like gay bashing, redneck homophobes, but at least you're sorry!
StanWe can fix this!
How?
StanThat lady said it's because "fag" still means "homosexual" in the dictionary. So we just have to convince the dictionary people to change the definition.
[Stan confronts Cartman at his book signing of "What Happened to My School?", which includes offensive and explicit rumors about Wendy Testaburger, Stan's girlfriend]
StanWhat the hell do you think you're doing?
A book signing.
StanI looked through your stupid book! It's 540 pages of ripping on Wendy and calling her a slut!
I do not directly say she's a slut!
Stan[reading from book] "Wendy Testaburger has proven time and time again that she will do anything to pleasure her vagina. Whether it is the school football team or the janitors on their break, Wendy spends her time as president on her knees or on her back taking the old in-out for hours on end!"
[leans over the table and points something out to him] You didn't read the rest, dude.
Stan[reading] "Or does she?"
"Or does she?" See, that's a question. I'm asking questions, Stan! I've called for Wendy to come on my show and defend herself, but she won't do it!
[showing up with his Melvins] Yeah, and she hates Smurfs!
[reading from book] "Shouldn't we be worried if our school president is a girl who would rather get her tits licked than go to student council meetings?"
StanHey-hey, stop reading that!
Well, what do you mean?
StanListen, just because a guy's voice is on the intercom and his words are in a book doesn't mean he has any idea what he's talking about!
Yes, it does!
Eric Cartman is simply making it so that all kids take responsibility to question their school leaders. We should all ask if our president is a penis-hungry hooker with a huge vagina. I'm Casey Miller.
Stan[about Cartman's ripping off on Wendy] Wendy, did you see the stuff Cartman is saying about you now?
I really don't care, Stan.
StanWell, don't you think you should go on his show and defend yourself?! Everyone is starting to think you're a crappy president.
I'm not giving Eric Fartman one minute of my time, you got that?! I'm not acknowledging his stupid questions. If you want him dealt with, you'll have to do it yourself!
[after escaping from the pee-flooded waterpark]
Will somebody get me to a hospital, I need to get my stomach pumped!
StanOh come on, it was just a little pee, Kyle.
GODDAMN IT, don't you get it?! I hate pee! I'm grossed out by pee! The only thing I find more disgusting than pee...is bananas!
[Mr. Garrison enters the Fourth Grade classroom with a box of books]
Okay, kids, lets take our seats. There has been a change in school policy, and so I'm assigning you all a book to read.
Aw, a book? God, I hate those.
Now kids, this book is very controversial, and has just been taken off the banned books list.
Oh, really? Sweet.
It's called "Catcher in the Rye", and it has some very risque parts...
Stan[excited] All right!
[Mr. Garrison starts handing copies out to the students]
And strong vulgar language...
[muffled] Awesome, dude!
And in fact many schools across the country still ban this book, because it's thought to be so inappropriate.
[starts reading excitedly] Oh, man, I can't wait!
Tonight I want you to read chapters 1 through 5, and tomorrow we'll discuss the...
No, no, come on let's read it now!
Mr. Garrison, didn't the guy who shot John Lennon say it was because of this book?
[irritated] Yes, apparently John Lennon's killer said he was inspired by "Catcher in the Rye", but he was just a kook
Whoa! You're telling us this book is filthy, inappropriate AND made a guy shoot the King of Hippies? Can we PLEASE read this, RIGHT NOW?
[angry] You will read it at home, and you will all be mature about it's adult themes and language!
[The class groan in unison]
Stan[runs in, panicking] Guys, guys! We are totally fucked! The book is gone from my dresser drawer; my parents must have found it!
So why are we all fucked? They'll think you wrote it all!
Stan[angrily] Hey, I'm not taking the heat for this alone! We all wrote it; if I'm going down, someone has to go down with me!
Well, if I'm going down, you're going down!
And if I'm going down, you are definitely going down!
StanWell dude, SOMEBODY has got to go down.
[Butters is confronted by the boys in the school hallways]
Butters, what the fuck do you think you're doing?
Just enjoying myself. Why, Eric?
Butters, you know goddamn well you didn't write that book!
[a little angrily] But, you told me I did.
StanYeah, but that's when we thought we were going to get in trouble, Million Dollar Abie.
[Red and Lola appear and defend Butters]
Hey, hey, you leave Butters alone! He's a very fragile artist.
[fondly] He's so brooding and full of angst.
[smugly] Yeah, I'm brooding.
Butters doesn't deserve any credit for Scrotie McBoogerballs! We deserve all the credit.
Oh, God, you guys are pathetic!
Yeah, get a life and stop mooching off Butters's success for once!
[the girls leave]
Stan[frustrated] God damn it!
Butters, do you really think it's fair to lie like this?! Let me tell you, if you don't have--!
[snaps] No! Let me tell you something, fellas!! You ALWAYS take advantage of me. And after reading Catcher in the Rye, I've learned you're nothing but phonies! [the boys look shocked at this sudden explosion] I'm not letting you trick me this time. So the four of you can just suck on my wiener. [Leaves]
[After a pause; in a shocked voice] What an inconsiderate jerk!
[After Butters' book influences a lunatic to murder the Kardashians] Our nation is still reeling from the tragic deaths of the Kardashians. The shooter claims he was driven to commit the slaughter immediately after reading "The Poop that took a Pee" by Leopold "Butters" Stotch. It's all over; the Kardashians wiped out in the blink of an eye, all because one little PRICK had to go and write a book! [Butters is at his desk with his face buried in his arms, The news report is airing on the TV in the background] Leopold Stotch… I hope they BURY you! YOU EVIL FUCK!
[Stan and his friends enter Butters' room]
Dude, people are pissed off at you, Butters.
I know.
StanThey're saying they're gonna ban both your books now, completely. You're not making any more money!
[lifts his head up, crying] You think I care about that?! My writing got the most beautiful woman in the world killed! I loved her! And if she died it was because of me!
Ah... Oh Butters, [steps forward] it'll be all right. Listen, we've all learned that people look for meaning in books. And sometimes, even if it isn't there, they'll try and invent their own meaning.
StanYeah, dude, eh, that's why we all need to avoid books and stick to television.
Thang, thanks, fellas. I'll definitely never write again. I think I can get over this.
That's good, Butters, because, we need to tell you something.
What?
[sighs heavily] You were sleepwalking again, and dressed Sarah Jessica Parker up in a moose suit. You left her in the forest and she got shot by a hunter.
[shocked] What?! Oh no!
Yep, sorry. You're gonna have to come down and admit it was you. [walks out of the room with the other boys]
Aw. Aw I got her killed too?? Aw uh, oh well, at least she was ugly. [leaves his desk and follows the other boys downstairs]
Hey, Stan! Isn't that Tom Cruise?
StanHuh? Oh, wow, it is. Hey, guys, check it out! Tom Cruise is a fudge packer!
What did you call me?
Hey, that is Tom Cruise! [snaps a picture of him]
How come you're packing fudge, Mr. Cruise?
I'm glad you asked, I'm not a fudge packer!
StanDude, you don't have to be ashamed or anything.
But, I'm not a fudge packer! [packs a block of fudge into a box]
StanThen why are you packing fudge?
I'm not! I'm glad you asked, I'm a very busy actor! I'm just here trying to get away for a week and do some fly fishing! [pushes more fudge into boxes]
StanDude, you are in a fudge factory packing fudge.
Oh, that does it! I will [slams his fist on the belt] SUE you!
StanFor what?!
You can't just call somebody a fudge packer and get away with it!
[walks up with the students; notices Tom] Hey, is that fudge packer Tom Cruise?
[takes off and throws his hat on the ground] THAT'S IT! I'm suing this entire intolerant town! [starts leaving the factory]
StanBut dude--
No buts! You wanna accuse somebody of being a fudge packer, you're gonna pay the consequences!
[South Park Elementary; Stan is called over to Principal Victoria's office and as he enters, he is stunned to see Principal Victoria, Mr. Mackey, his parents, Kyle's parents, Sgt. Yates, Officer Barbrady, and the Mayor with her aides, all there together, and are incredibly displeased with him]
You just had to push it, didn't you Stan? You just had to make fun of Tom Cruise again.
Did you call him a fudge packer?
StanAww, he was packing fudge!
Little boy, you don't understand how serious this is. Tom Cruise has put together a class-action lawsuit along with 200 other celebrities!
They're going to sue the bajeezus out of this entire town, m'kay?
StanIt wasn't just me. Other kids called him a fudge packer. Even Mr. Garrison.
But you started it. Mr. Broflovski, tell him what you told us.
Stan, a class-action lawsuit means the end of this town. We can't possibly go up against their lawyers.
Dammit, Marsh, why couldn't you've just kept your stupid ugly kid in line?
Hey, don't start blaming me for his looks!
[Back at the fudge factory, Stan and Randy talk with Tom Cruise]
Mr. Cruise, my son is so, so sorry. And he would do anything to take back his hurtful comment.
That's nice. I'm still suing you all! Nobody calls me a fudge packer!
Yes, it was a terrible mistake. But, maybe you could see how -- since you do, take fudge and, pack it into a box...
What?
I'm just saying, you are employed currently, as a person who, packages...
I'm an actor. I do not pack fudge!
Right, my son just got confused. Because you have a little uniform, and a hat that says "Fred's Fudge & Candies." And you are... look it doesn't matter just... please withdraw the class-action lawsuit. Nobody in our town will ever call you a fudge packer again.
[takes a short break and sighs] There is... one thing that your town could do to... maybe make me forget about this lawsuit.
Anything! Anything you want, Mr. Cruise.
It's just that there's somebody I've always wanted to meet. Face to face. If you could get him to show up in your town...
Sure, who is it? We can get anybody for you.
Muhammad. The prophet of the Muslim faith.
StanOoooo...
That's tricky.
Well then you can just get sued!
Mr. Cruise, if there's anybody else we could try to bring to town, we could-
NO! Just him! You get Muhammad to appear in South Park, or your little town is done!
[South Park Community Center, evening; Randy is on stage with Mr. Mackey, Principal Victoria, The Mayor and her aides; Much of the town is in the audience]
Okay, people, I kno- I know. But, he will get the other celebrities to withdraw their lawsuit if we just... get Muhammad to appear in South Park.
Are you nuts?! If Muhammad appears in South Park, we get bombed!
We don't know that! Maybe enough time has passed.
[to Token] Dude, I can't believe we are dealing with this Muhammad thing again.
But even if it were safe now for Muhammad to come, huh, how would we ever find him?
Yeah, showing an image of him is completely off-limits and censored. So nobody has ever seen what Muhammad looks like.
StanI saw him once.
[The audience turns to Stan]
You did?
StanYeah. A while ago my friends joined David Blaine's cult. I had to go to the Super Best Friends to rescue them. Muhammad was one of the Super Best Friends.
Oh, and what? And he was just out in the open where everyone could see him and nobody got bombed?!
StanNo, dude, it was totally flying.
Muhammad showed up and there was no violence at all.
StanWell this giant John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln.
Alright, Stan, that's enough. Jesus, can't learn to shut up, can you? [to the audience] Now look, I believe we CAN find Muhammad. I've done a lot of research and I've completed a sketch of what Muhammad could look like today.
[stands up] No, don't!
[Randy pulls out a sheet of paper from a manila envelope and turns it around: it's a stick figure with a round head]
Is that okay to show? [sits down]
I don't know. I guess we'll see.
I'll get you, Tom Cruise! [hops on him and wrestles him]
StanHey look! Tom Cruise has Seaman on his back.
[everyone stops and gasps. The "CENSORED" bar disappears and Tom is shown again]
What did you say?!
Oh yeah. Tom Cruise does have Seaman on his back.
I guess maybe Tom Cruise likes Seaman.
[everyone chuckles.]
[straightens up] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! [Sea-Man gets off his back] You're not supposed to be able to make fun of me anymore! What the hell's going on?!
[on the rafters with a jet pack on his back] I'll be back, Super Best Friends! [tales off through an open door on the roof.]
Who's the creepy ginger kid?
Reiner, you said the goo machine would work! But I got made fun of!
That's because there is no goo, Mr. Cruise. You see, I learned something today. Throughout this whole ordeal, we've all wanted to show things that we weren't allowed to show, but it wasn't because of some magic goo. It was because of the magical power of threatening people with violence. That's obviously the only true power. If there's anything we've all learned, it's that terrorizing people works.
That's right. Don't you see, gingers, if you don't want to be made fun of anymore, all you need are guns and bombs to get people to stop.
That's right, friends. All you need to do is instill fear and be willing to hurt people and you can get whatever you want. The only true power is violence.
