Osama Plans Escape
written by: Randy Hyden




Setting: Taliban's cave (bombs and gunfire heard from outside)

Al-Qaida 1: Osama, I've got some bad news for you. The Americans are close to finding our cave. This means I should probably kill you now.

Osama bin Laden: Kill me. Why do you want to kill me?

Al-Qaida 1: So they will never take you alive, remember?

Osama bin Laden: I got a better idea. I sneak out one of the many exits we have in this cave?

Al-Qaida 1: The Americans have bombed them all shut. The only way out is the front door and they will see you leave with their spy plane.

Al-Qaida 2: You lucky goat. Pretty soon you'll be in heaven with all the dancing girls.

Osama bin Laden: The dancing girls can wait. I have to plan my escape. I will call the Taliban in Kandahar and they will rescue me.

[ he dials his cell phone ]

Voice on the other end: I'm sorry, you have reached a number that has been real recently disconnected.

[ he hangs up quickly ]

Osama bin Laden: I have a better idea. Why don't we send out someone that looks like me and they will follow him.

Al-Qaida 1: We tried that. Only got $1.95 for his head.

Al-Qaida 2: Osama head worth millions. He gets dancing girls, we get lots of money. Everybody happy.

Osama bin Laden: I don't want to hear no more about dancing girls.

Al-Qaida 1: Qe must hurry before their forces overtake us.

[ more bombs and gunfire ]

[ breaks away to a couple of Al-Qaida men standing outside the cave entrance, shooting their own guns in the air and laughing. (showing their own plot to get ransom money) ]

[ back inside cave ]

Al-Qaida 1: I need to cut off your head before things get worse.

Osama bin Laden: How could things get any worse?

[ Geraldo Rivera enters the cave with camera crew ]

Geraldo Rivera: This is Geraldo Rivera reporting live for Fox News.

Osama bin Laden: Maybe he's looking for Al Capone.

Geraldo Rivera: Point the camera at him. Let's get his suicide on film.

[ Osama throws a chair at Geraldo and runs out the cave ]

Geraldo Rivera: You broke my friggin' nose!

[ Al-Qaida men look at each other and realize their fortune is getting away ]

Al-Qaida 1: Baby needs some shoes.

[ they run out the cave after Osama ]

[ Geraldo gets up from being hit with chair, dusts himself off and starts walking out the cave while saying ]

Geraldo Rivera: Next guy who throws a chair at me, I'm going to kick his ass!

[ end ]
