I mean, I don't know.|She could be black or white,
Hispano, Japanese,|pretty, fat, ugly.
I wanna rape them all!
All right, John, calm down. I|wanna help you. I'm your friend.
Are you my buddy, Barry?
I'm your buddy, John.
I can't help myself.|I gotta go do it.
You can help yourself. You're not|gonna do it, John. No, I gotta do it.
No, you're not|gonna do it, John.
Now, listen to me.|I'm gonna go do it.
No, no, no. Think about|what you're saying, John.
John?
He's gone.
Another lost soul|goes into the Dallas night.
We-We have a police trace|on this.
If anybody knows|anything about this man...
or is in Turtle Creek or|sees someone in a phone booth,
please call us here|at KGAB.
The number to call is,|is 555-TALK.
Uh, let's hear|from our sponsors...
Pasty Mate Roach|and Termite Cleaners.
Listen closely.
The sound|of cockroaches mating...
enhanced 500 times.|They couldn't trace it.
Right, I should've kept him on|for another three hours.
You know, I once had|a cup of Humphrey's coffee.
I was spitting blood|for three weeks.
You should try|the decaffeinated, Barry.
This is great.|Oh, wait. Don't tell me.
He seems|pretty harmless.
Come on, kid, sit down.|This is your chair.
This is your microphone.|Speak directly into it.
Keep your mouth about|six inches away from it.
These are your headphones so you can|hear the show. These are the ground rules.
What?|The ground rules.
No last names, no brand names,|no phone numbers over the air.
Other than that, act and speak|normally. This is Mr. Barry Champlaign.
You're Barry.
You got him.|All right.
What's wrong with him?|He's star struck.
Hey, kid, say something. I need|a level. Check, check. Check one.
Here we go on five,
four, three, two, one.|Stu.
Strap in, b*tch.|Here we go.
We're back. I'm Barry Champlaign.|You're listening to Night Talk.
We have a very special guest|with us tonight.
Kent. Say hello|to everybody, Kent.
All right.
My sentiments exactly.
We've brought Kent on board to get an|inside look at the future of America.
Kent is the classic|American youth...
energetic and resourceful,|spoiled, perverse and disturbed.
Would you say that's an accurate|description, Kent? Yep, sure.
What do you call that haircut?|I don't know. Rock and roll!
Are you high right now,|Kent?
Am I high?|Are you on drugs,
or is this your naturally|moronic self?
Watch the drool. You're|getting it all over the console.
I can't believe|I'm here, man.
Hey. Wow. Does this thing really work?
You're sitting in|a radio station, Kent.
You're sitting in front|of a live mike.
When you speak, thousands|of people hear your voice.
It penetrates their minds.
Okay, okay.|No, listen.
I wanna send that one out to Diamond|Dave and Billy the bass player...
and all the babes|at the Valley View Mall.
We're discussing|America here tonight, Kent.
Do you have any thoughts|on that subject?
Yeah.|Oh, I'm sorry.
I broke your train of thought. Please,|keep going. This is exhilarating.
No, I know.
It's not like I'm not political|or nothin'. You know, I mean...
I like Bruce.|He's political.
Bruce Springsteen, yes.|A very deep, political thinker.
He's a communist, isn't he?
No, he's from New Jersey.
His ex is pretty nice.|Mm-hmm. Whose ex?
Bruce's. Bruce Springsteen's|wife. Yes, what about her?
Julienne.|Hi, Julienne.
She was a model.|You know that, Bar?
All those guys|got models, Bar.
I mean, Mick and Jerry,|Keith and Patty,
Prince and...
Prince.
You know, Bar,|Bingo.
models only hang around with|guys they think are coolest.
Look at you, man. You're a|big guy, famous star and all.
I mean, you got that fine babe|right over there...
who works for you, man.
So hey, if you got some|cash and you're cool,
you get to have a model.
So you wouldn't call yourself a|women's libber then, Kent, huh?
Yeah, I would, Bar. I mean,|everybody being liberated, you know.
Women, South Africans, all|those kind of people, you know.
I saw a show|about all that stuff...
about how revolution's|a pretty important thing.
We're gonna have a lot more|revolutions where people get together,
solidarity and that|and...
You know,|like that song by Megadeath.
# Peace sells|but who's buying #
# Peace sells but who's|buying # Ah, come on!
Hey, plus-|Oh, I saw this other show...
about how in the future they're|gonna have these two-way TV sets.
People will be able to see|each other and everything.
And then there's, like, no way they're|gonna be able to stop the revolution.
Who won't be able|to stop it, Kent?
Big Brother, the government,|corporations.
They're a bunch of fascists. They|wanna control everybody's mind.
But, hey, freedom's|an important thing,
just like you|always say, Bar.
You say|the best things, Bar.
I listen to you|all the time.
You're great.|Kent, you're an idiot.
I sincerely hope you do not|represent the future of this country,
because if you do|we are in sad shape.
Bar, man,|you're so funny, man.
That's why I love to listen to your show.|That's why all the kids listen to you, man.
Plus, these goons|push you around, you know.
All the kids|listen to you, Bar.
You are the best thing|on the radio!
Kent, we discuss a lot of|serious subjects on this show...
sad things, frightening|things, tragic things.
Doesn't any of that|bother you?
Nope.
Why not?
It's just a show. It's one|big rock video, huh, Kent?
Yeah!
No.|Come on, Bar.
It's your show.
Yeah, that it is, that it is.|It's my show.
Let's go back to the callers|on my show.
Uh, Julia,|you're on Night Talk.
Barry, hello.|Now, you know, darlin',
I think these people who've|been callin' you tonight...
are a bunch of|I don't know what's.
It's crazy. And that crazy kid you|got on there, now, that's terrible.
I've been listenin' to your show|for five years straight, Barry,
and I love you and your show.
I think it's terrific that more|folks are gonna be listenin'.
I just hope you have time for|your longtime friends there, Bar.
I always have time|for my friends, Julia.
Aw, you're terrific.
Your show's terrific.|I don't know what else to say.
Well, tell me something, Julia,|since you listen all the time.
What is it|you like about the show?
Well, I don't know.
A lot of things.
Well, what, for instance?|Well, I love you, Bar.
Uh-huh, that's a given. Okay,|what about me do you love?
Well, you're very funny.|Uh-huh.
And I love to hear you talk about|all the things you have to say.
Yeah, yeah, okay.|Let's get back to the show.
The show must serve|some kind of purpose for you.
Well, now, I wouldn't say that.|What would you say?
Well, I don't know. What|do you mean, you don't know?
You said that at least five times|already. What don't you know?
You've been listening to this show for five|years. You don't know why you listen to it?
Well, I just said-|I heard what you just said.
You said you don't know why you listen|to this show. Why don't I tell you why.
You listen so that you can feel|superior to the other losers who call in!
