[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

So. Y’know, we’ve got some uh, some real good stuff for you on offer today. It’s a very special episode, after all. Can’t air a program without doing a Dependence Day special, hehe.

Without further ado, let’s get right into it.

Alright, so this next one it’s… uh, it’s a doozy. You see, here we go. Truly you too have problems at home with those cupboards, right? You open em, and stuff falls out, and it makes a mess, and it’s really really bad… Heh. Yeah, well we’ve got a solution. See this is… uh…

GOD, CAN YOU JUST CALM THE HELL DOWN FOR A SECOND?

Alright, that’s better.

Because of its unsurpassed reliability, above-average magazine capacity of 17 rounds and its low weight, it is trusted by law enforcement officers and security professionals worldwide. It is safe, easy and quick to use through the revolutionary "Safe Action" trigger system. Glock 17 - designed for professionals. 

475 dollars, give or take. No haggling.

[FANFARE SNIPPET FROM EARLIER PLAYS. LARRY LOOKS VISIBLY UNNERVED. HE IS STILL HOLDING THE PISTOL.]

Okay, I know what’s going to happen now. You’re gonna cheer. They’ll expect me to just stand here and take it. Alright, I get it. I get what they want from me. They’re not going to get it though. Not today.

[AUDIENCE GASPS]

That’s right. I’m done with this. I’m done with all of you. And I’m done with that bozo over there manning the lights.

[LARRY TAKES AIM]

Goodnight, funnyman.

[LARRY FIRES OFF FOUR SHOTS. A SOFT THUMP IS HEARD AS A BATTERED CLOWN BODY HITS THE GROUND.]

[AUDIENCE CHEERS]

STOP IT! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

[LARRY WILDLY FIRES HIS PISTOL. FLESHY IMPACTS ARE HEARD AS NUMEROUS AUDIENCE MEMBERS ARE STRUCK.]

STOP IIIIT! PLEASE!

[APPLAUSE]

GET OUT OF MY FUCKING HEAD!

[LARRY FIRES A SHOT AT THE CAMERA, WHICH IMMEDIATELY FALLS TO THE GROUND. FILMING CONTINUES FROM THE FLOOR.]

It’s over. It has to be over. I can’t do this anymore. I can’t go back. I can’t go back. I can’t go back.
