Complete Transcript of

FEY AS PALIN: "Good evening, my fellow Americans. I was
so excited when I was told Senator Clinton and I would be
addressing you tonight."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "And I was told I would be addressing
you alone."
FEY AS PALIN: "Now I know it must be a little bit strange
for all of you to see the two of us together. What with me
being John McCain's running mate."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "And me being a fervent supporter of
Senator Barack Obama -- as evidenced by this button."
FEY AS PALIN: "But tonight we are crossing party lines to
address the now very ugly role that sexism is playing in the
campaign."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "An issue which I am frankly surprised
to hear people suddenly care about."
FEY AS PALIN: "You know, Hillary and I don't agree on
everything..."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: (OVERLAPPING) "Anything. I believe that
diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy."
FEY AS PALIN: "And I can see Russia from my house."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "I believe global warming is caused by
man."
FEY AS PALIN: "And I believe it's just God hugging us
closer."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "I don't agree with the Bush Doctrine."
FEY AS PALIN: "I don't know what that is."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "But Sarah, one thing we can agree on is
that sexism can never be allowed to permeate an American
election."
FEY AS PALIN: "So please, stop photoshopping my head on sexy
bikini pictures."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "And stop saying I have cankles."
FEY AS PALIN: "Don't refer to me as a 'MILF.'"
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "And don't refer to me as a [flurge]. I
Googled what it stands for and I do not like it."
FEY AS PALIN: "So we ask reporters and commentators, stop
using words that diminish us, like 'pretty,' 'attractive,'
'beautiful.'"
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "'Harpy,' 'shrew' and 'boner shrinker.'"
FEY AS PALIN: "While our politics may differ, my friend and
I are both very tough ladies. You know it reminds me of a
joke we tell in Alaska..."What's the difference...
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "Lipstick."
FEY AS PALIN: "...between a hockey mom..."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "Lipstick."
FEY AS PALIN: "...and a pitbull?"
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "Lipstick."
FEY AS PALIN(AFTER A BEAT): "Lipstick. Just look at how far
we've come. Hillary Clinton, who came so close to the White
House. And me, Sarah Palin, who is even closer. Can you
believe it, Hillary?"
POEHLER AS CLINTON: (AFTER A PAUSE)"I can not."
FEY AS PALIN: "It's truly amazing and I think women
everywhere can agree, that no matter your politics, it's
time for a woman to make it to the White House."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "No. Mine! It's supposed to be mine! I
need to say something. I didn't want a woman to be
President. I wanted to be President and I just happen to be
a woman. And I don't want to hear you compare your road to
the White House to my road to the White House. I scratched
and clawed through mud and barbed wire and you just glided
in on a dog sled wearing your pageant sash and your Tina Fey
glasses."
FEY AS PALIN: "What an amazing time we live in. To think
that just two years ago, I was a small town mayor of
Alaska's crystal meth capitol. And now I am just one
heartbeat away from being President of the United States. It
just goes to show that anyone can be President."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "Anyone."
FEY AS PALIN: "All you have to do is want it."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: (LAUGHS) "Yeah, you know, Sarah, looking
back, if I could change one thing, I should have wanted it
more." (RIPS OFF PIECE OF PODIUM)
FEY AS PALIN: "So in the next six weeks, I invite the media
to be vigilant for sexist behavior."
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "Although it is never sexist to question
female politicians' credentials. Please ask this one about
dinosaurs. So I invite the media to grow a pair. And if you
can't, I will lend you mine."
FEY AS PALIN: And as we say in Alaska...
POEHLER AS CLINTON: "We say it everywhere..."
FEY/POEHLER: "Live from New York, It's Saturday Night!!!
