so they can screw over another

local business?

Not for a 30-second segment

at the end of Atlanta P. M.

It's impossible to reason

with these people.

They won't listen to the truth!

Your bulldozer's a bully-dozer!

We have to do something

right now. This is it.

Hey, lady, do you want

to see something?

Do you want a really

good news story?

Take this!

We've got b*obs out! And

they're good ones!

If you want to move any further,

you're going to have

to run me over!

Holy sh*t!

County officials got more

than they gambled for

at a casino groundbreaking

ceremony earlier today

when an angry, shirtless lady treated

attendees to quite the show.

They lied to us!

No more lies!

One by one, the topless woman's

enraged colleagues

threw off their shirts and

joined her in protest.

Baba Booey! Howard Stern!

Wonderful.

It's an interesting story pitting

a ragged band of locals

against a land deal worth upwards

of 10 million dollars.

But just now the County

Commissioner has

stated that no construction

will go forward

until a full review of community

impact. Michael?

Great report. Thank you, Deena.

Hey, Deena, maybe if they

ever build this casino

these hippies can win the jackpot

and buy themselves some shirts.

It's certainly possible.

Deena, could you let

us know if you're

ever planning on protesting

a casino?

They're building a casino at

my place later tonight.

Okay, nailed it. There's more.

Deena, I don't think any

of us would protest

if you unexpectedly took

off your shirt.

Deena, I do have a

new weather report

which is hot, sweaty and

I have an erection.

This is historic.

The revolution has begun.

All because this courageous

woman saw an unjust world

and waved her boobies at it.

Let's celebrate!

I didn't even know we

had a television.

Let's open some chutney!

The tomato chutney!

The tomato chutney!

No. No!

Where's George?

Are you okay?

I'm doing great!

I felt something today when we were

standing up there and just...

I know.

Screaming it out and seeing

you with your shirt off...

That's an amazing experience

for me.

I just only hope that

George gets it.

You are a natural leader.

Oh, God, get out of here.

I feel like a schoolgirl.

Go on, tonight's your night.

Enjoy it, celebrate it.

Hi!

God! I still cannot believe

that I did that!

You're a hero.

You're like a topless Norma Rae.

I feel amazing!

It's great to see you so happy.

I know, I am!

I really am.

So... Yeah.

It's been two weeks.

I want to stay.

Okay, but before you answer...

I already answered.

There's a possibility that I

have a job back in New York.

We can go home. We can go home!

But I really...

I really feel like

this is our home.

For the first time in my life,

I feel like I have a purpose.

I've heard you say that before so many

times with so many other things.

No, it's different this

time. I feel it.

So you can live the rest of your

life without bathroom doors?

Yes.

You could be a vegan?

I am a vegan. I love it.

For two weeks you've been doing it.

They say three weeks and then

it's out of your system.

Open relationships?

No sexual boundaries. That's

part of the deal here, too.

Can you do that?

Exactly.

So, please, let's just go... Okay.

Okay? Yeah?

No, okay. Free love.

As long as there's trust, and

communication, and respect,

we can all enjoy each

other intimately.

What? I love all of these

people, George.

I love how I feel about myself

when I'm here. I just...

George, I want to stay.

Okay.

Really?

Let's do it.

Oh, God.

I'm so proud of us right now.

What did you say? "Now

I'm gonna stay"?

You're funny. I'm going

to go tell everybody.

We're staying! We're staying!

George,

Linda just told me the good news.

I'm so excited to hear

of your decision.

Yeah, it's great! I know.

Eva's really something, isn't she?

Yes, absolutely. The best.

I just made love to your

wife in the other room.

Great.

Thank you.

Honey, we said we were

going to do it.

No, I said we would do

free love in theory.

I didn't say let's do it tonight!

George! Oh, my God!

This is awful. This is

such a nightmare!

You have to do it tonight.

I don't know if I can

do it tonight!

You have to!

You can't just make me be

the only one who did it!

This was your idea!

Oh, my God, I can't

believe you did it!

You just have to please go do this

tonight, otherwise we're doomed!

I don't know... For us!

I can try.

No, there's no "try. "

There is only "do. "

What, are you Yoda? George!

I'm okay. I can do this.

Are you sure?

Yeah, this is good. Tonight's

the night.

This is it. This is

what it's about.

Yeah! No shackles. We're

doing this as a team.

You got to do this.

Oh, God!

This was your idea, George.

It's a good idea, right?

It's a good idea.

Monogamy is sexual slavery.

She got an exquisite p*ssy, well, how

about my exquisite erection? Huh?

Eva, what do you think, do you

like my exquisite erection?

Do you like my erection selection?

What do you think, Eva? Yeah?

Are you going to take it? Are

you going to take that dick?

Are you going to take that dick?

I'm going to pop off

a piece of my dick.

Oh, yeah, I'm fixing to f*** you.

I'm going to f*** you.

Mmm. Mmm-hmm.

I'm going to get it

all up in your vag.

Get it up in your vag with my dick.

With my dick.

I'm going to put it

in with my dick.

I'm going to put my dick in.

What's up, man? Are you all right?

What's up?

So, how we doing, George?

Hi, Wayne. Great. Never better.

It's funny because I

didn't want to get

into this before because

we had just met,

but, as you know, I'm writing

a new novel right now.

Really?

It's a political parable about the

flaws of capitalistic society.

I could tell you the story, but

it would probably bore you.

Maybe later. I'll just

give you a taste.

Basically, it's about this

one guy named John Belson.

And John is just this guy,

an average Joe...

I can actually even maybe

name him "Joe Belson. "

You could. And the big thing is...

Tell me if I'm boring you.

No, finish your sentence.

The big thing is, at a

certain point I reveal

that this is all happening

in Washington, D.C.

Wow. Yeah.

Belson's a creature of the Beltway.

Yeah. I'll tell you this...

Eva...

I'll read you this one part, unless

you're not interested.

Hey. There you are.

Hi.

I am ready to have sex.

Great. Come here.

Awesome!

But I can't believe this

is actually happening.

Yeah. Oh, my God.

God, George...

Your heart is racing. I know.

I've wanted to do this

since we first...

Yeah. Since we first...

And now it's okay. Yeah.

Now it's not like before.

Now I can actually...

Breathe, George, breathe.

Feel it in your diaphragm,

just breathe it in.

You're going to feel it in

your diaphragm with my...

You're going to feel

it with my dick.

Okay.

Do you need to take

a minute, George?

No, I'm good. I'm good.

I'm going to do this.

This is going to happen.

Yeah.

I'm going to throw down.
