Marci X
Good evening, I'm Marci Feld.
Oh, thank you.
Please! Oh, please, stop it!
Enough. That's enough.
Tonight, the American Jewish
Federation...
You Jews, you wonderful Jews.
Who needs Santa Claus?
Am I right?
Tonight, the AJF presents
its highest honor,
its Global Humanitarian Award,
to the finest human being
I have ever known.
This award goes to my father,
Mr. Ben Feld.
We love you, bubby!
Ben! We're here for you!
Isn't he handsome?
And kosher, right?
Love you.
Now, most of you may think of my
father as, first and foremost,
an incredibly successful
corporate legend,
but he has always taught me
about responsibility
and giving something back.
He would say, "Sweetheart, you
are the prettiest, the smartest,
"the most perfect girl
in the whole world,
so you must reach out
to all of those who aren't."
Powerful.
Doesn't Marci
look fabulous?
Ultra-Marci.
Mega-Marci.
The full Marci.
Ten years ago,
we opened our first
shelter for the homeless,
helping those in need
of a bed, counseling,
and shampoo and conditioner.
Next came a drug rehab program
called "Marci Cares,"
and today, there are 25
branches of Marci Cares
all across the tri-state area.
Can you imagine being
addicted to heroin?
Oh, it's heartbreaking.
But does the weight
stay off?
I only wish that my mother
Sheila could be with us
on this joyous occasion.
But, as some of you know,
six years ago,
while we were opening
a free clinic in Johannesburg,
she was tragically killed by
a savage South African leopard.
It is in her memory
that I would now like to present
this medal of mercy,
a medal from Marci.
Tonight, this award
goes to my father,
Mr. Ben Feld!
We have problems, sir.
Daddy?!
Daddy, where are you going?
Was it the entree?
Daddy...
Daddy...
What's going on?
Marci, incoming.
This way, Miss Feld.
Daddy, what is wrong? I...
Shh! Sweetheart, sit.
The corporate crisis
centering on Ben Feld
has begun to escalate
out of control.
I got here as
fast as I could.
Daddy, what is this?
Daddy's busy.
...include the notorious
urban record label
called Felony Assault.
Earlier today,
that label released
a new CD by controversial
gangsta rap star Dr. S.
Dr. S has been
a hard-core success...
I don't know this person.
He's a rapper.
His songs are known
for their extreme sexual
and often violent content.
His latest release, however,
is by far his most provocative.
Controversy is erupting,
protesters are converging
on Feldco headquarters
in Manhattan.
blood, specifically the blood
of mogul Ben Feld...
Oh, Daddy, is that your picture?
...honored tonight
as a great humanitarian.
I am here with senator
and leading media watchdog
Mary Ellen Spinkle.
Oh, no.
I am appalled.
Is she wearing
a helmet?
I am outraged.
I am so disgusted
that I can barely speak...
but I will.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
This recording
is unspeakably offensive,
not just to all Americans,
but to all human beings
everywhere.
I will not quote the lyrics
because, as a Christian,
I cannot even pronounce
some of the words.
But let me just read you
some of the song titles:
"Shoot the Teacher."
Oh, my...
-Yes!
-Not good.
"l Am the King of Your Mouth."
-Very nice.
-Uh-oh. -Ooh!
"You My Special B*tch."
-Wait...
-Mmm!
"l Love You Because
I'm High."
"Six Grades Are Plenty."
Lane, did you ask Legal?
Do I really own this label?
You bought it years ago
as part of a package.
"lt Ain't My Baby Because
I Don't Like You."
This is it.
...and "The Power in my Pants."
Has Dr. S gone too far?
I don't blame these rappers,
I blame the man who profits
from this perversion!
I blame the man who makes
his dirty millions
from the wholesale slaughter
of our children's innocence!
I blame an American Satan,
Ben Feld!
I am calling for a complete
boycott of all Feldco products
including movies, newspapers,
TV shows,
and DVDs!
A boycott?
A boycott?!
Are you listening to this,
Mr. Feld?
Or I should say "Mr. Filth."
Ben Feld...
you are a dead man!
-Ben?
-Uh-oh...
Ben!
Daddy!
Ben, don't die!
The moral firestorm
blazing around Ben Feld
has raged into a white-hot
economic inferno.
A what?!
Pickets have closed
record stores nationwide.
My God... I'm choking...
We have contacted Tubby Fenders,
the president of Felony Assault,
who is currently serving time
-in a penitentiary.
-Look...
Yo.
Mr. Fenders, what about Dr. S?
Dr. S would never apologize!
He would never bow down
to the white man's censorship!
Just like me, he has been
unjustly oppressed and accused!
Tubby Fenders, the president
of Felony Assault Records.
Give me that remote!
Big baby!
I can't believe this.
Everything I worked for
my whole life,
it's all going
to crumble.
Baby, I'm so sorry.
Daddy!
Because you
have to see all this.
Because l...
I just wish I had a son.
Why would you want a son?
Someone to take over,
to take charge,
so that you wouldn't
have to worry.
Someone we could trust.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I just two weeks, we are going
to put Ben Feld on trial
before the entire civilized
world and China...
That's it! That's it!
I'm out of here!
What?!
Uh-oh. Dr. Skellar!
I need Dr. Skellar!
Oh, Daddy! Look...
Look what's happening.
I can't stay here!
I... I...
You get back in that bed,
Your Highness.
Mr. Feld...
Mr. Feld, you are an
extremely sick man.
Now, no visitors,
and nurse, get rid
of that television
and I need 10 cc's
of Valium right now.
Oh, thank you.
For your father.
Oh.
-Ben...
-What?
I'm going to put you
in complete isolation
for two weeks
for your own good.
No cell phones, no faxes,
no lnternet, nothing.
Like the '80s?
I'm warning you, Ben.
If you have any more
stress, it could kill you.
Sweetheart, please,
just go.
You don't think
the rules apply to you, do you?
Ben, you're in real danger.
You're a very sick man.
Thank God you're rich.
You're here in this hospital
and you're going to stay here
until I release you.
Sorry.
Marce!
Oh, Marci,
I can't believe it!
Are you all right?
Is your dad okay?
Have you bathed?
Look, chocolates!
Did you get a chance
to bathe yet?
They're for you...
and your dad.
But I feel so useless.
I love my father so much
and I can't even help him.
And he doesn't... he doesn't
really want me to try.
Why not?
He said he wished he had a son.
Maybe he's right.
Maybe I'm not strong enough
or smart enough.
Maybe I am just a socialite.
Excuse me?
Just a socialite?
You serve on the boards
of three major museums.
You are a guest editor
at Vogue, Vanity Fair,
and Mademoiselle.
And last year alone,
for literacy, muscular dystrophy
and cancer.
In this town, you are cancer.
No, but this involves law suits
and spin control
and the whole worldwide
entertainment industry.
Which is your life.
You introduced Princess Diana
to Mother Teresa
at your bat mitzvah.
