Booker T
I just wanna give my condolences to everyone who had, you know, who was involved, you know, everybody who was on the flights, you know, all the - all the firemen, all the policemen who...as soon as the thing happened, they rushed in there to help someone, they just wanted to save someone and to lose their own life is - is tragic, but those guys, in our eyes, in history is always gonna be remembered as - as heroes. That's the way I feel about 'em, and...for something like this to happen here in America, you know, it's givin' everybody uncertainty...it's, you know, can we go out of our houses, and you know it's kinda crazy right now but I know it's gonna make us stronger, it's gonna pull us together, it's gonna make us a better people...

FFunaki
This is Funaki, SmackDown! number one announcer! Tonight, I'm here Kurt Angle's office reporting on the very special announcement. Okay, Kurt.
Excuse me, if you're done butchering my language, I brought you in here because finally, there's someone here on SmackDown!, a superstar that I can be proud of, and his name is Booker T. Booker, will you please join me? [Booker T enters] Now, Book, you're everything I want in a superstar here on SmackDown!. You're professional, you're a sharp dresser, and nothing would make me prouder than to present you with the United States Championship. [showing the United States Championship belt]
Booker T
You're kidding me, right?
No. [lifting Funaki's arm]
Booker T
You for real, dawg?
Booker T
You talking about making me, Booker T, the United States Champion tonight? That's what you're saying, man.
[Booker T tries to take the belt]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa. Yes and no. Now, now, listen, Book.
Booker T
Come on, man.
Technically, I can't do it just yet, but immediately after the show, I'm gonna have a meeting with the members of the board, and by next week, you'll be the new United States Champion. But tonight, just for old time sakes, I'm gonna let you hold the title.
Booker T
You're letting me hold the title?
[Kurt Angle gives Booker T the United States Championship belt]
Booker T
Hey, I appreciate that, Kurt Angle. [Kurt Angle applauds] Thank you, man.
[Booker T shakes Kurt Angle's hand]:
You are welcome. You are welcome.
Booker T
I'm outta here, dawg.
[Booker T leaves the office]
FFunaki
Hey, Mr. Angle, that's not fair! That's not fair!
Not fair? You're telling me it's not fair? I'll tell you what's not fair. The fact that you're a broadcast journalist and you can't even say "broadcast journalist". Go ahead, try and say it.
FFunaki
I'm a SmackDown!...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Not number one announcer, say "broadcast journalist".
[Funaki struggles to say "broadcast journalist" then Kurt Angle grabs the microphone]
You know what? You're a disgrace to this microphone. You're a disgrace to my SmackDown!. And, Funaki, I'll tell you what's fair, YOU'RE FIRED! [takes Funaki's microphone] Now, get out! What are you doing? Get out of my office!
[Funaki leaves the office]
