Patriot Driver.....Seann William Scott
Traffic Cop.....Will Ferrell


[ open on wide shot of New York City street, cars whizzing by - car adorned with American flags comes into view from right ]

[ cut to close-up shot of patriotic car, complete with "Death To The Taliban" painted across the back side window ]

[ cue police siren, as patriotic car comes to a stop on the side of the road, and Traffic Cop enters from right ]

Patriotic Driver: Is there a problem, Officer?

Traffic Cop: Yeah, there's a prob- [ stops when he sees all the flags ] Can you see with all these flags on your car?

Patriotic Driver: Yeah, I can see just fine.

Traffic Cop: [ noticing back side window ] "Death To The Taliban"?

Patriotic Driver: [ defensive ] You got a problem with it?

Traffic Cop: Well.. I'm upset about last month's attack, too, but.. that seems a little extreme. But, you know what? Not my area of expertise..

Patriotic Driver: [ angry ] What are you, a coward?!

Traffic Cop: No, I am member of the New York Police Department.

Patriotic Driver: Then start acting like one! The city lost a lot of people in that attack, and we're gonna kill the Afghanis!

Traffic Cop: [ at a loss for words ] O-kay.. How about if I just explain what I'm pulling you over for?

Patriotic Driver: I know why you're pulling me over! It's because you want to deny me my Constitutional rights and freedoms as an American!

Traffic Cop: I'm all for Constitutional rights and freedoms, but you've got -

Patriotic Driver: I've got too many flags on my car! I only wish I had a bigger car, so I could put more flags on my car!

Traffic Cop: The flags aren't the problem, it's -

Patriotic Driver: You're one of them, aren't you?! You're a Communist! A Nazi-symphaphist!

Traffic Cop: [ angry ] Don't make me have to smack you!

Patriotic Driver: You're a peace offender!

Traffic Cop: I am trying to keep the peace! You're the one with "Death To The Taliban" painted across your window.

Patriotic Driver: Oh? So, you think they should live?! As though what they did to the Twin Towers is no big deal?

Traffic Cop: It is a big deal! But it doesn't make up for the fact that you are driving around with a busted headlight.

Patriotic Driver: [ notices the headlight ] Oh. [ points across the street ] It was that Afghani cab driver over there! He smashed my headlight as an expression of his hatred for America!

Traffic Cop: That cab driver is a Mexican. I'm giving you a ticket. [ writes out ticket ]

Patriotic Driver: You know officer, when you give a ticket to me, you are really giving a ticket to America!

Traffic Cop: Yeah? Well, I don't care who pays it, but it's going on your record, alright?

Patriotic Driver: Sure, I bet you would give a ticket to apple pie too, huh?

Traffic Cop: If apple pie was driving around with a busted headlight, I certainly would. The issue of how an apple pie managed to get a license in the first place is beyond me, but the busted headlight would definitely be grounds for a ticket. [ hands ticket to Driver ]

Patriotic Driver: Well, fine! I'm taking this straight to the Supreme Court!

Traffic Cop: It's not a federal offense, but.. you know what? Go right ahead. I'm sure you'll be a big hit in Washington. [ starts to walk away ]

Patriotic Driver: I know my rights, man! This is totally unpatriotic!

Traffic Cop: Have a nice day. [ exits ]

[ Patriotic Driver pops open his trunk and gets out of his car slowly. He reaches into the trunk and pulls out a nuclear warhead with a blanket wrapped around it. He cradles it like a newborn. ]

Patriotic Driver: It's okay, baby.. we'll get them.. we'll get them all!

[ Patriotic Driver puts the warhead down gently, closes the trunk and returns to the driver's seat, as the scene fades ]
