written by: Patrick Lonergan


.....Weather Channel anchors

[ dissolve to: ]

Dr. Steve Lyons: [ SUPER: Dr. Steve Lyons ] With 26 tropical storms and 13 full-fledged hurricanes, 2005 has been the most unusual hurricane season in recent memory. Perhaps.. of all time.

[ cut to: ]

Marshall Seese: [ SUPER: Marshall Seese ] We've only been on the air since 1982, so anything before that, we couldn't tell you.

[ cut to: ]

Jeanetta Jones: [ SUPER: Jeanetta Jones ] In 23 years, we've never experienced anything like this. I don't think there's even a word to describe what this hurricane season felt like.

[ cut to: ]

Bob Stokes: [ SUPER: Bob Stokes ] I'll give you a word. I'll give you two words to describe this hurricane season: friggin' awesome!!

[ cut to: ]

Jim Cantore: [ SUPER: Jim Cantore - Mike Siedel ] I haven't had this much fun during hurricane season since Andrew blew my pants off.

Mike Siedel: Andrew as in the famous hurricane of 1992, right? [ slyly winks at the camera ]

Jim Cantore: Right. [ suddenly realizes the joke ] You ass! [ punches Mike's arm ]

Jennifer Lopez: [ SUPER: Jennifer Lopez ] It's serious business, but we had fun along the way. Dennis the Menace.. Katrina and the Waves.. Willlllll-maaaaa!! Who says we're uptight? My name's Jennifer Lopez, for God's sake - you bet we like to have fun.

Dave Schwartz: [ SUPER: Dave Schwartz ] Our friends look up to us. Not just because we all have BLODs - buttload of degrees - and know everything there is to know about the weather, but also because we're attractive by nature, and viewers at home wish they could get a piece of that.

Jim Cantore: [ SUPER: Jim Cantore ] This hurricane season was unprecedented. I mean, I was in North Carolina covering Ophelia, and I literally had to fight the babes off me. It was so intense that, even when the rain stopped, my raincoat stayed on. [ laughs ] I think you know what I mean!

Heather Tesch: [ SUPER: Heather Tesch ] After Katrina, it seemed like every day we were reporting on a new breach in the levee system.

Heather Tesch: [ on-air ] The Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans reports yet another breach in the levee at the 17th Street Canal.

Marshall Seese: Hot doggie!

[ shot glasses are lined up at the weather desk, as Heather and Marshall each chug back a quick one ]

Bob Stokes: Awesome.

Stephanie Abrams: [ SUPER: Stephanie Abrams ] I was stationed in Florida during Wilma, and my nipples were erect. It wasn't just because it was cold standing out in the rain, but also because I was so excited that we made it to W so early in the season.

[ cut to: ]

Mike Bettes: [ SUPER: Mike Bettes ] Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon - this is living history. This is like communicating with your grandparents beyond the grave and saying, "You think the Holocaust was bad? Suck on the Greek alphabet, Grandma!"

[ cut to: ]

Jeff Morrow: [ SUPER: Jeff Morrow ] I don't care if you've seen Lindsay Lohan naked; nothing tops the excitement you feel when you start rattling off the Greek alphabet on live television.

[ cut to: ]

Jen Carfagno: [ SUPER: Jen Carfagno ] We had so many named storms this year, I began to wish I was getting paid on commission.

[ cut to: ]

Bob Stokes: And did you see what Katrina did to the Superdome? That was awesome! Sure, people had to die, but she ripped that mutha out - how awesome was that! And when the water started pouring in, it literally become a bowl within a bowl! Just mind-blowing, man! [ laughs hysterically ] Ohhh, God, I've got the munchies..

[ cut to Weather Channel logo ]

Announcer: Congratulations to the staff and crew of The Weather Channel for helming another exciting hurricane season. We'll see all you chumps again next year. Same time, same place.

Bob Stokes V/O: Awe-some!
