Why would I do that?

I have a perfectly

good job here. I'm a Mac Genius!

What do you do'?

Mostly, I clean

semen out of laptops.

Congratulations.

Living the American dream,

Okay, fine. I will help you.

On one condition.

Name it,

You reinstate me

as Head of Nuclear Research,

so I can finish

building my bomb.

Deal.

One last thing.

You will let me build

a round nuclear weapon.

Never. It must be pointy,

- Wait a minute. This is

- Whoa.

Okay, compromise. Conical.

- Round. Round,

- Teat-shaped.

Okay.

- Okay. Deal.

- Deal.

Ladies and gentlemen

of the press,

our Supreme Leader

is indisposed to answer your questions

as he is currently

drafting Wadiya's new constitution,

which is scheduled

to be signed

at the Lancaster Penthouse

Ballroom in three days.

Thank you.

No further questions

There is no way we're going to

get anywhere near this hotel

without a security pass,

This is ridiculous.

- Wait.

- What are you doing?

Hiding from that

lesbian hobbit,

That woman,

you know hen'?

I cannot begin to tell you

what an honor it is

to be able to provide

all of the catering...

Well, of course.

...and the malroom

for this signing.

You just paid

this month's rent!

She offered me a job.

Can you imagine that'?

Me? Working?

Listen, hold onto that badge. It's the only

thing that'll get you past security-.

Okay, thanks.

Wait a minute.

Wait, her company is catering the

event, She has a security pass!

That is the answer.

This is the plan.

Okay? You will take that

job and you will work for her,

I will gel you

an identical beard and costume,

And then on

the day of the event,

you enter the Lancaster

as a member of her staff

You will find the double,

switch with him,

then rip up the constitution

in front of the whole world.

Me? Work for that

hairy titted yeti?

Kimberly'?

Zoe?

Who cares?

I've come here

to apologize

about some of the comments

I may have made about

Captain Hook and Blackie.

Great!

And I accept your job offer

as general manager.

Well, you can't be the manager,

because I am the manager.

Well, I can

if I killed you.

I think I'm starting

to get you.

All right, then...

I will get you.

Great!

Let's get you to work!

Yeah?

Hold on one second,

Hey, my man!

Excuse me. Hairnet!

Yeah.

I need a little of the

quinoa salad, please,

and throw a couple of

extra cranny-b's on top, if you could,

and I kind of need you

to hurry up, chief. Chop-chop,

Next!

Whoa, whoa!

Occupied!

Out. I have lo clean.

Come on, out you go, out you go,

- What? You're hurling me!

- Out. Come on.

Hey, Allison,

can you take out the garbage? Thanks.

Look! One of the

customers left a tip of

some Nair and some female razors,

Does anybody want to use it?

Slop that.

Suck it, loser.

Clean-up on aisle four!

Hey, buddy, I saw that,

That is very disrespectful

to your leader.

Whatever, dude,

Who are you,

Osama bin Laden's

best friend?

No, he is not

my best friend!

Though he has been staying

in my guest house

ever since they shot

his double last year.

Now the guy won't leave.

I know why this guy's

the most hated man in the world,

You just have to go

to the bathroom after him.

You go to the bathroom

after Osama,

you will realize

the true meaning of terrorism,

Here is the plan,

We're going to take

this helicopter tour

and fly over

the Lancaster to spot its weaknesses,

Remember, we're just two

ordinary American tourists

looking at the sights,

Don't worry, nobody gonna suspect

anything. it's a great plan, pointy.

Don't do anything

to arouse any suspicions,

Don't worry.

I am Wadiya's number one actor,

You don'! win four

Wadiyan Golden Globes for nothing,

Yes, you do,

because you gave them to yourself!

My performance in

Aladeen Jones and the Temple of Doom

was outstanding.

I give it thumbs down.

Have you seen

You've Got Mail Bomb?

Yes, I've seen them all!

They're all terrible movies!

Listen to me. Okay?

You are a terrible actor,

I urge you, right now,

keep your performance small and real.

All right, can you

get me a cloak?

Why'?

Because I think

my guy would be wearing a cloak.

No, your guy wears an American flag

sweatsuit and a sheriff's badge.

I need the sheriffs badge,

For what?

You're sheriff

of American douche-town!

That's rude.

Listen,

We're going to walk over

there, act very inconspicuous.

- Okay. No problem.

- This has to work.

Don't worry,

Just relax.

Are you okay'?

MY guy has a limp.

I fell off me horse

at the old Bull & Bush Pub

because

I am a cockney,

Listen! Listen, okay'?

You need to focus up right now

and be prepared

to deliver a small,

subtle perfonnance,

- Okay, great, okay.

- Okay, good.

Okay. So, when

we go to fly...

Don't do that

with your eyes!

You can't be

a Chinese person on this thing, okay'?

I'm not chink,

I'm Chinese-American!

No, but you cannot

hold your eyes!

Nobody is going to think

you're Chinese-American

because you hold

your eyes like that!

It's racist,

what you are doing!

Do you know it's a fact

that they cannot pronounce their R's?

They pronounce them

as L's.

So instead you know

what "rabbit" is in Chinese?

I don't know

how to speak Chinese,

-it's "labbit."

- It's not "labbi\!

Sacha Baron Cohen

Sacha Noam Baron Cohen (born 13 October 1971) is a British actor, comedian, screenwriter, and producer. Baron Cohen has created and portrayed fictional characters Ali G, Borat Sagdiyev, Brüno Gehard, and Admiral General Aladeen. Like his idol Peter Sellers, he adopts a variety of accents and guises for his characters and rarely appears out of character.In most of his routines, Baron Cohen's characters interact with unsuspecting people, documentary style, who do not realise they are being set up for comic situations and self-revealing ridicule. His other work includes voicing King Julien XIII in the Madagascar film series (2005–2012) and appearing in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Hugo (2011) and Les Misérables (2012). He made a cameo as a BBC News Anchor in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013). In 2016, he played an English football hooligan brother of an MI6 spy in the comedy film Grimsby, and co-starred as Time in the fantasy sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass. In 2018, Baron Cohen created and starred in Who Is America? for Showtime, his first television project since Da Ali G Show. Baron Cohen was named Best Newcomer at the 1999 British Comedy Awards for The 11 O'Clock Show, and since then, he has received two BAFTA Awards for Da Ali G Show, several Emmy nominations, a nomination for an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay, and a Golden Globe for Best Actor for his work in the feature film Borat. After the release of Borat, Baron Cohen stated that because the public had become too familiar with the characters, he would retire Borat and Ali G. Similarly, after the release of Brüno, Baron Cohen stated he would also retire the title character. At the 2012 British Comedy Awards, he received the Outstanding Achievement Award, accepting the award while reprising his Ali G character. In 2013, he received the BAFTA Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy. more…
