[Man Announcing ] Live from CIA. headquarters in beautiful Langley, Virginia...
00:38
it's the first ever C.I.A. Telethon!
00:41
With your host Agent Stan Smith!
00:45
Thank you! Good evening, everybody!
00:47
How about a hand for our band? Midget Assassin and the This Doesn't Concern You Orchestra!

[Audience Applauding ]
00:53
Man, that is some sport coat! - Oh, you like it?
00:57
No, it's great. I just didn't realize your latest assignment was to kill fashion.
01:01
[Rim Shot ] - [Audience Laughing ]
01:03
Folks, it's an honor for me to be working in this studio.
01:05
This is the very soundstage where we faked the moon landing.
01:09
And the jfk assassination.
01:12
No, I'm sorry. This is where we planned the JFK assassination.
01:15
[ Laughing ]
01:19
So a lot of people think that C.I.A. stands for Central Intelligence Agency.
01:24
Not true, folks. Fact is, CIA. actually stands for...
01:27
Stan Smith was born with both male and female genitalia.
01:32
-[ Murmurings ] - That's not what we wrote!
01:35
We don't go blue. That's the lazy man's comedy.
01:38
Balls! - [ Chuckles ]
01:41
Maybe we're working too hard.
01:43
Uh, anyway, you're in for quite a show over the next 12 hours, so give generously.
01:48
Let's kick things off with our very own Langley Falls anchor partners Greg and Terry...

02:22
Francine, you must be so proud of your husband.
02:25
This whole telethon was his idea.
02:27
[ Giggles ] I Know! I'm sure it's gonna be a huge success.
02:31
Godlike? I don't know if I'd go that far.
02:34
Now, I need a moment with my writers.
02:37
What the hell was that genitals joke? - That's not what we wrote.
02:40
You were supposed to say, "CIA. stands for Central Insanity Agency."
02:45
[ Chuckles ] That's good. That's good. But that's not what was on the teleprompter!
02:49
Well, someone must have messed with it.
02:51
I'm gonna go double-check the copy for the "Taliban, Taliban, Tally Me Banana" sketch.
02:55
You really think someone messed with the teleprompter?
02:57
I mean, who would want to sabotage the telethon?
03:00
Sabotage? Oh, no!
03:06
Did you hear? We just captured a new terrorist! Time to torture!
03:10
Oh, yeah! - Yea! I get to strap him to the waterboard!
03:13
I call the car battery! - I want to slather him in oil and make love to him all night long!
03:18
Oh, no. I'm on the phone. Yeah, I'm still here, Mom.
03:21
Stop! We can't torture anyone!
03:24
What's he talking about? We always torture. - We can't afford it.
03:26
I was just on Capitol Hill. The Democrats have completely cut our torture budget.
03:30
[All Gasp ] - They're using the money to teach inner-city kids...
03:34
to read. [ Sobbing ]
03:37
[ Chattering ]
03:39
[ Screams ]
03:41
We'll just have to raise a million dollars and fund the torture program ourselves.
03:45
Luckily, I have a plan.
03:47
We have the biggest keg party this town's ever seen.
03:50
We charge five— no, seven dollars a cup. Girls drink free.
03:55
Uh, sir, I don't think that's gonna work.
03:57
I don't hear you suggesting how to get girls to our party.
04:03
How hard can it be to come up with a million dollars?
04:06
What if! I invent something?
04:08
Paper clips, paper clips—
04:11
Piper claps— Popper clops! Clops that pop your cloppers!
04:16
I think torture is barbaric and inhumane!
04:18
I can't believe you're actually trying to save it!
04:20
Why not? You tried to save Veronica Mars.
04:23
We get it. Girl detectives are bitchier than regular detectives.
04:26
Fart! Not into it.
04:28
You know what show I tried to save? The Ghost Whisperer.
04:31
It's still on. - Really?
04:34
That's it! I've got the idea! Dark bulbs!
04:37
You know, for when it's too bright out.
04:39
[ All Laughing ]
04:41
What? It's a great idea!
04:43
Stan, it's okay. So you're not an idea guy.
04:47
Yes, I am! Remember when I invented that machine?
04:50
Stan, that wasn't a machine. That was a hat.
04:53
I am an idea man, and I'll prove it to you all.
04:56
I just need to get away from all this negativity so I can concentrate.

What are you talking about? - [ Band Fanfare ]
05:13
Live from C.I.A. headquarters in Langley, Virginia...
05:17
it's the first annual CIA. Telethon!
05:21
[ Imitates Crowd Cheering ]
05:23
A telethon? No one wants to run 26 miles!
05:26
Not a marathon, a telethon!
05:29
It's the perfect way for you to raise the money you need!
05:31
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
05:33
That's what Jerry Lewis said right before he stole my idea. - You knew Jerry Lewis?
05:38
Yeah. Back in the 50s I was his tailor. I shortened his pants. Made him a star.
05:42
One day I said to him, "jer"-- I called him Jer, but not to his face.
05:45
I said, "Jerry, how about you do a long, televised plea for money?"
05:49
Course he did it, and he said it was all his idea. Made me look like a total liar.
05:54
The only one who believed me was Dean Martin. Good old Dino.
05:57
What a sweetheart. Talented, talented greaseball— from Ohio!
06:02
Thanks, Roger. But I don't need your stupid telethon idea.
06:05
I have all night to come up with something.
06:07
Hamburger... Hinderer.
06:13
Guess what, everybody. Bullock loved my telethon idea!
06:17
What? - A telethon? Wow, that is a good idea!
06:20
Way to go, Dad! - Wunderbar!
06:22
-Wait a minute. Your idea? - You should have seen it.
06:25
They were taking away all our torture stuff. Everybody's freaking out.
06:28
And then, like a bolt of lightning, it came to me— telethon!
06:33
I'm so proud of you, honey! How did you ever think of a telethon?
06:37
He didn't! It was my idea! - Yours?
06:40
Yeah. Remember, Stan? We were in the living room, and I said "telethon"!
06:43
Stan, is that true? - Oh, I remember now.
06:47
Thank you! - Yeah. You said "marathon," and that's what got me to telethon.
06:51
Oh, marathon. - That's why Roger got confused.
06:54
Oh! A marathon's a terrible idea.
06:56
No, no, no! The telethon was my idea!
06:59
Stan, tell 'em the truth, or they're gonna think I'm a liar!
07:02
That spaceship sailed a long time ago!
07:04
[ All Laughing ]
07:06
Get it? Because he's an alien! - Or so he claims.
07:09
[All Laughing ] - He's simply not credible, and I am apparently.
07:14
I let Jerry Lewis live. I think we all agree that was a mistake.
07:18
But I'm not gonna be branded a liar again!
07:21
Mark my words. This time, I will be avenged!
07:28
Please call me when dinner is ready!
07:34
Of course. It's Roger!
07:36
He's trying to ruin the telethon because I didn't call him when dinner was ready!
07:40
[ Band Fanfare ]
07:42
[ Phones Ringing ]
07:44
Klaus, did that teleprompter mishap hurt us?
07:46
Well, the donations slowed down a little, but things are starting to pick up again.
07:50
Good. We can still meet our goal. I just have to make sure nothing else goes wrong.
07:55
So anyway, what happened after you slathered him in oil? Did he like that?
07:58
Hey, everyone! Look who just wandered in...
08:00
from their tree house in the Appalachian wilderness.
08:03
It's the amazing Buckle and Sherry! [ Band Fanfare ]
08:08
Honey, I've been meaning to ask you for a... separation!
08:12
Like you could survive five minutes without me!
08:14
What kind of man puts his wife in a box and cuts her up?
08:17
I'm just trying to create a sense of wonder!
08:21
You know what I wonder? Why I didn't listen to my mother!
08:23
"Don't marry a mountain-man magician." That's what she said.
08:26
I joined a synagogue for you! Just do the trick!
08:31
Oh, you want to do a trick? Here's a trick. Put a baby in me!
08:34
Sherry and Buckle! - It's Sharri!
08:37
You know, folks, we're having a lot of fun tonight. But let's remember why we're all here.
08:42
This is a terrorist! - [All Gasp ]
08:45
They call him the Common Garden Snake of Rumallah!
08:49
-[ Man Clears Throat ] - It sounds much scarier in Arabic.
08:53
Snake, do you have information vital to this nation's security?
08:56
I do, Stan, yes, very much.
08:58
And will you share that information with us willingly?
09:01
Willingly? [ Chuckles ] No!
09:03
This is why we need to fund the C.I.A. torture program.
09:07
We have just over nine hours to raise the one million dollars...
09:10
or those repo men will take away our torture equipment forever.
09:14
Operators are standing by.

And now, black music!

[ Roger's Voice ] "Dear Stan. Admit you're the liar, or my reign of terror will continue.

10:32
Folks, we still have a long way to go to reach our goal, so we need your pledges.

Smile and look to camera "B."

11:19
What the hell was that?
11:21
Honey, that's what you have to do after a man takes you to a fancy dinner.
11:25
N-No. I mean, why was it shown?
11:27
Well, I-I'll tell you why. Because Roger's still clinging to the fantasy...
11:32
that this telethon was his idea, and now he's trying to ruin it!
11:35
Steve, Hayley, I need you to find him and stop him.
11:38
I better get the security guard. I'm not searching that basement unless I'm accompanied...
11:42
by an armed stranger who failed the psychological test to become a cop.
11:51
Here's the intro for the circus bear, Mr. Smith.
11:54
"Some acts are too hot.
11:56
"Some acts are too cold.
11:58
This act is just right." Oh, like Goldilocks.
12:02
Part of me thinks people will be confused because there's only one bear.

Irene... Grossbard!
12:28
Folks, we gotta do better than this.
12:30
You know, the C.I.A. has captured a lot of bomb makers.
12:33
Well, it's time for you to set off the biggest bomb of all— the one in your hearts.
12:37
[ All] Aww!

13:29
Hayley, what the hell happened?
13:31
We were looking for Roger when somebody hit me on the head. When I woke up, Steve was gone.
13:36
Wait. What would Roger want with Steve?
13:38
Hmm? What the hell?
13:40
Do not fear me, fair maiden.
13:43
Though my outward appearance may repulse thee, I assure you my intentions are most pure.
13:48
What are you doing? - The Phantom welcomes you to his home.
13:51
Sheez, it stinks in here! And why am I in a dress?
13:55
I'll thank you to hold your criticism, my darling.
13:58
Ah, the hell with this! - Steve? Steve, come back here!
14:02
I am trying to do something!

Ladies and gentlemen, the United States may be the greatest nation in the world.
14:08
But do you know what the second-greatest nation is?
14:10
[I Man ] El Salvador! - No, not Mexico.
14:13
The second greatest nation is donation. Won't you all become citizens?
14:18
Now, let's go to a real good novelty today—
14:21
Jeff Fischer and the Jeff Fischer Hacky Sack Attack!
14:25
One, two, three. Woo-hoo!
14:29
Thank you, Langley!
14:34
What? You want more?
14:38
All right! One, two—
14:43
[Audience Gasps ] - [Roger Cackling ]
14:56
Oh. Really thought we were gearing up for a much more satisfying chase. But this—
15:01
Roger, I'll kill you! -I'm not Roger! I'm the Phantom!
15:05
[ Gasps ] Roger! - Well, yeah. Who did you— What?
15:08
Well, anyway, you'll never stop me!
15:13
There you go again, stealing my idea.
15:16
Well, until you tell the family this telethon was my idea, I've got havoc to wreak!
15:22
Wreck? Wreak. - It ends now!
15:25
Ha! You can't stop the Phantom!

I've already destroyed this telethon!
15:59
And untied your bow tie! - No!
16:02
You've given me a relaxed demeanor!
16:05
Oh, my God! Is that a bomb?
16:07
You planted a bomb? - What the hell are you talking about?
16:11
That's enough C-4 to blow up this entire building!
16:13
Disarm it! - Stan, it's not mine.
16:16
All I did was change the teleprompter, cut the bear's brakes...
16:18
release the terrorist, drop a fishing boat on Jeff Fischer—
16:21
Wait. You released the terrorist?
16:23
He's an explosives expert! We'll never be able to disarm it!
16:26
Oh, my God! Stan, I Know exactly what to do.
16:29
Put me down.

16:42
I don't know. It's funnier, but I think it takes out some of the tension.
16:49
How could you release the Snake? He's a master bomb maker!
16:53
Me? [ Chuckles ] I don't know about "master." I make a nice bomb.
16:57
All right, Snake! The jig is up!
16:59
Um, uh—
17:03
Prepare to meet your Mecca!
17:07
Fine. Go ahead and kill me now.
17:09
Once the ticking clock on your tote board counts down to zero...
17:12
this whole building will be blown to smithereens!
17:15
Good God! I've got to evacuate the building!
17:18
Not so fast. I've rigged the exits.
17:20
I've also rigged the elevator shaft, the air ducts...
17:23
the little window in the bathroom—
17:26
I've seen a lot of movies.
17:28
When you're forbidden to drink, dance, or touch yourself, your afternoons are pretty free.
17:32
You can't touch yourself? How do you masturbate?
17:34
Ill give you the code to disarm the bomb.
17:36
But first, you will have to meet my demands.
17:38
-I don't negotiate with terrorists! - Oh, really?
17:41
Have you ever bought a mattress?
17:43
Fine! What are your demands?
17:46
I have something I want you to tell the world.
17:50
Hello. I'm the United States.
17:53
[ Feminine Voice ] And I'm Israel. With you behind me, I can do whatever I want.
17:57
Well, I want you.
17:59
Take me! [ Feminine, Masculine Moaning ]
18:03
No! This is wrong! We both have the same father— Satan!

18:10
Oh, God! Ohh, God!
18:12
Oh, Judeo-Christian false God! - [Man Coughs ]
18:15
All right. I did your little play, and it was intoxicating.
18:18
If you have anything else I'd be right for, please keep me in mind.
18:21
In the meantime, I need you to disarm the bomb!
18:24
Oh, that? No, no. I was lying. I was never going to disarm the bomb.
18:27
You bastard! - You're mad at him for lying?
18:30
You guys are enemies! Of course he lies to you.
18:33
But you're worse. You stole my idea and lied about it to your own family.
18:37
Oh, my God! You're right!
18:40
Lying is wrong!
18:42
I'd know that if only I'd paid attention to anything that's ever happened to me before.
18:45
It's not too late to tell everyone the truth, Stan.
18:49
Oh, what's the point? We're about to die.
18:51
I don't want "I'm a liar" to be the last thing I say to them.
18:54
It doesn't have to be the last thing.
18:56
What if I save us all? Then will you tell them the truth?
18:59
Roger, you save my family, and I'd be honored to redeem your good name.
19:04
Excuse me. Does this have dairy in it? Because if you want to see a real dirty bomb—
19:09
[ Laughs ] give me something with dairy in it!
19:11
[Roger Groaning ] - No, no, no.
19:14
Let the truth be told! What's the code to disarm the bomb?
19:17
i'll never tell! [ Groaning ]

This is annoying! Hey! - [ Keyboard: Discordant Notes ]
19:33
Hey! - Wait a minute.
19:35
I think I know how to save us and the C.I.A.
19:38
Ladies and gentlemen, we've had a lot of fun tonight.
19:41
But when that clock runs down, this building will explode.
19:43
[All Gasp ] - Yeah, you should be concerned.
19:46
Because that's the only man who knows the code to disarm the bomb, and he's not talking.
19:50
And he's not talking because we can't torture him!
19:53
Sure, he can be beaten by amateurs, like that oddly proportioned fellow in the cape.
19:57
-[ Groans ] Come on! - [ Group Humming ]
