Ugh! I am so bored!

Me, too.

Well, what do we do

when we're feeling bored?

Whine? Squirm?

No, we take out the Solomon family

rainy-day fun book.

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!

I forgot we had that.

Let's have a look, shall we?

We can come up with an idea

for something fun to do.

Now, let's see...

We've done video arcades, airport bar,

Shetland pony rides.

Tiny horses.

That was so cool. Yeah.

It's fun to read this book.

Reading this book in this book?

Yes, but stop interrupting.

Now, here's two things we haven't experienced.

Visit a parallel universe or rent go-karts.

Wait. Visit a parallel universe?

How is that possible?

Simple. We just use the time/space portal in the closet.

Okay, here's my concern.

Do they get angry if you drive the go-karts off the track?

Wait. So you mean to tell me

that we are living another existence in another place?

Actually, Sally, everyone exists

in every possible place at every possible time.

W-w-wait a second.

That means that somewhere right now

I'm driving go-karts.

All right.

Let's go!

Well, what-- what about Tommy?

Leave him a note. Oh.

Am I okay to go dressed like this?

You're fine.

Anyway, I'm sure they have a Gap there.

Sally! Okay, I'm so excited!

Here we go!

Who am I kidding?

There's no portal to another dimension in the closet.

Oh... Oh...

It's in the shower.

Whoo-hoo! Yes!

I want to go to Wisconsin!

Anywhere in West New York.

This is fantastic!

Dick, you look great!

Oh, so do you! Oh!

And look at Harry!

Oh, my God, we've got towels.

Hey, look, there's more.

[gasps]

Look at this place.

We must be doing incredibly well

in this parallel universe.

It is so open and airy.

Yeah, we should get some cattle.

Guys, guys, look at this! [horn honks]

There's a New York taxi and a New York bus.

[gasps] I can see the Empire State Building.

Look at the sidewalks

jammed with people of every conceivable ethnic background.

Hot damn, we're in Vegas!

New York City.

My kind of town.

It's the city by the bay.

Gateway to the west.

The Aloha State.

Motown.

[phone rings]

[beep]

[Dick] Hello, you've reached the Solomon residence.

This is Dick Solomon, attorney-at-law.

Please leave a message at the beep.

[beep]

[Woman] Dick, you're due in court in an hour.

Good luck. [beep]

Did you hear that?

I have an answering machine!

And I'm a lawyer!

Of course!

We have whole new lives here.

Yeah, and we've got to play along. I've got to go to court.

Ooh, I got to go shopping.

Mm, I'm gonna get a pretzel.

Look, here are your coats.

Ooh, cool!

I can't wait to see the look on Mary's face

when she finds out that I'm a lawyer.

Hold on a second. Albright's here?

Oh, I'm sure she is.

A love like ours transcends

all dimensional limitations.

Maybe you'll meet some people you know too.

Cool. Really? Oh, yeah.

But F.Y.I.,

they may have made different life choices

in this universe.

Mm...I see what he's saying.

You see, in this world Officer Don

could be an old Vietnamese woman.

No, Harry,

they'll have the same bodies.

Dick's just saying

they'll probably all be gay.

Oh, no, no, no.

General, allow me.

You've served your country bravely.

It's the least I can do. Go on, get in there.

I got to find out where the courthouse is.

Excuse me.

Sir, could you give me some directions?

You must be from out of town.

No, no. I breathe New York.

I know this island like the back of my hand.

Then why do you need directions?

I meant, do you need directions?

I am so sick of people coming in from out of town

and not knowing how to get to the courthouse!

Are you sure you're from this planet?

Taxi.

Sally.

Sally! Harry!

Heads up, guys.

New Yorkers can be curt.

Um, okay, you guys,

doesn't that guy by the newsstand

look a lot like Tommy?

Guys!

Tommy! Tommy! Tommy!

Oh, my God.

You came!

So you got our note?

Your note?

No, I just come to this parallel dimension all the time.

Mostly mid-week.

The theater prices are cheaper,

and you miss the bridge and tunnel crowds.

Is this thing hard to do?

I fell right into it.

I got myself a really nice gig in midtown.

Listen, Tommy, I'm due in court,

and I don't know how to get to the courthouse.

I got to go to work too. You can share my cab.

If you got time, I'll show you

where the peepshows moved

after they cleaned up Times Square.

Tommy, I am an attorney!

But, yeah, all right.

Whoa!

Check it out, Sally.

You write a column for the newspaper.

Oh, my God!

And I'm hotter here, if that's possible.

Look.

"The two-hour orgasm."

I wrote that.

I got to get cracking on tomorrow's column, baby.

Yeah.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

What about me?

I mean, what am I supposed to do?

Just watch TV like I do back home?

I always get left out. [horn beeps]

Mr. Solomon, Scott's back from the Hamptons,

and he wants to talk.

It's urgent.

Outstanding.

What do I do?

Just, uh, play the game.

I don't know how.

Hey, Sally, how will I know

if this guy I met at power yoga

is the marrying type?

Uh...the sex will be good?

Oh, that's awesome. Thanks.

Come on, Mr. Solomon. It's time to go.

Oh, yes, I suppose it is.

Oh, just get in the car.

Hey, can you get this for me? Thanks.

Hey, thanks...Tara.

Tara. Tracy!

What's up, man?

Hey, can we talk for a second?

Yeah.

Hey, listen, um, Tommy, man,

I don't need to study these lines, man.

You know what I'm saying? That works for you, right?

But me? All I got to do is cultivate that little "Oops, I messed up" giggle.

[giggles]

Then America's gonna be loving me too, so what's up?

Look, I know it's been a little weird

between us recently,

what with me getting all the attention

and you sort of shoved into the background.

It does seem a little unfair, you know?

'Cause I been here since '97. You know what I'm saying?

And you been here, what, a month?

But it doesn't matter what they think out there.

What matters is that Saturday Night Live

is an ensemble piece.

You understand?

Yeah, you know I always felt that way, you know?

I guess I'm a big sucker, huh?

No! No!

It is still an ensemble piece.

We are all equal,

and we are gonna maintain that tradition.

Are you with me there?

Yeah. Good.

Tommy, I'm with you. All right. Good.

Let's rehearse. Put on the hamburger head.

Yeah.

Oh, that's good.

Now, that's really funny, man.

Here. This way.

Hello...

Is this where I'm supposed to be?

It's about time, counselor.

Nina!

You will address me with the proper respect.

I am the Honorable Judge Campbell.

You go, girlfriend.

[bangs gavel]

Counselor...

kindly proceed with your summation.

Eh, with my what?

Oh, uh...right, with my summation.

We sit here in this court of law,

we, with our fragile sense of right and wrong.

It's so easy to play judge and jury,

especially when you are a judge and a jury.

Get on with it, counselor.

By all means, Your Honor.

Now, I could poke holes

in the prosecution's argument, but I won't.

That's cheap.

Now, I'm not here

to ask you for an acquittal,

and I'm not here to ask you

to listen to your conscience, no.

I am only here to demand that you recognize

that I am the most brilliant trial lawyer

that you have ever seen.

And I thank you.

He's done it again!

Counselor!

Your Honor, may I approach the bench?

Do you happen to know a, uh, Mary Albright?

Is this another witness

you're planning on calling?

Could be. Are you buddies with her?

Get out!

I'm sorry.

I've never been in an elevator that fast before.

"Harry Solomon, network president."

Is this true?

Yes.

[shouting] Then what the hell

are you people doing in my office?

Harry, we need some creative counterprogramming fast.

ABC's got a major hit

with Who Wants to Be a Turkish Prisoner?

Well, that might be good for ABC,

but that's not who we are.

We're about quality, all right?

I want this network to be about families

and violence

and as much sex as we can get away with.

All right, let's get busy.

I didn't waste all those hours

watching TV for nothing.

You mind if I move a few of these around?

You're gonna change the schedule?

Oh, no, no. Not change.

Save.

[Harry] All right.

Hey, you know what I'd like to see?

A whole night of Will & Grace.

Wouldn't you?

Brilliant!

Hey, better yet,

why don't we make one night Will, one night Grace?

So I've come to the conclusion

that New York is the sexiest city

in the world,

from sexy Bronx to sexy Brooklyn.

It's the city that never sleeps.

Unless it rolls over

and passes out after sex.

Ooh, Dick, I just wrote something so great!

Don!

You're here. I can't believe it.

Yeah, finally.

Crosstown traffic was a bitch.

Jeffrey.

Yeah? It's me.

Close 5th Avenue and the bridge.

Oh, and tell Puff Daddy

I'm gonna be late for lunch.

Don, you're so different.

How do you mean?

Oh, nothing.

I'm just--pff-- a little overwhelmed.

I mean, I thought you were hot in a uniform,

but this is way better.

When I was in uniform?

I've never worn a uniform in my life.

Oh, no, I know that.

I just meant like, you know,

your tie and suit.

Although you wear the--

You don't wear the same thing every day,

so it's not a unif-- Sally!

Are you going nuts on me?

Listen.

I want a girlfriend. I don't want a nut.

I want a nut, I go to the nut store.

Jeffrey.

Is everything okay, Mayor Orville?

I'm leaving.

Mayor Orville?

Mayor of New York City Orville?

Oh, my God,

I'm the girlfriend of the mayor.

Good-bye, Sally.

No, no, no! Don, please don't go.

Listen. If I get a little crazy,

it's just that I miss you so much, you know?

Mr. Mayor.

Mr. Big City in the palm of his hand.

Well...

half-hour.

Ooh!

New York is so fantastic.

I have the coolest job. Don's here.

Plus, he's mayor. I've never been happier.

That sounds wonderful. I'm thrilled for you.

Seriously. Thrilled. Are you really?

No! What are you, crazy?

I'm depressed. I want to go home.

I haven't found Mary yet.

Oh, you'll find her.

No, I've looked everywhere.

I've checked the faculties at NYU and Columbia.

I even tried the Staten Island Academy of Beauty.

No Mary Albright.

Although they almost talked me into

their $4 perm.

Look, Dick, why don't you

just try to find somebody else?

I looked, but $4 is a very competitive price for a perm.

Okay, let me give you a little piece of advice.

You only have yourself to blame for being miserable.

I can't help it.

I'm having a real problem with this whole experience.

It's so... so superficial.

Oh, God.

No, I miss Mary. I miss love.

Love is real.

No, sex is real with or without love.

Granted, sex without love has its place--

usually at a party under a pile of coats--

but life without true love

is completely meaningless.

Okay, Dick, we're in New York.

Why don't you just lighten up?

I don't want to lighten up.

Why is it that we need to constantly

distract ourselves from life's deeper concerns?

Oh, my God, look at those shoes.

Terrific, I'm talking philosophy with Ivana Trump.

Look, I got to see a new client.

I'll talk to you later.

Oh, I don't want another song, Mary.

I just want to talk.

Mary. No one calls me Mary anymore.

My stage name is Kiki Li.

So...you're an actress in New York City?

That's wonderful!

Well, I'm between jobs at the moment.

14 years in between.

Well, I guess it's good to rest up.

You know, a girl comes to New York City

willing to do anything to become a star,

and once she's done all those things

and she's still not a star,

what's left?

It doesn't matter that you're not famous.

I like you just the way you are.

Yeah. Let's have fun.

I'm a lawyer.

Lorne?

Oh, hi, Tommy! This is a surprise!

What are you doing

at Lorne Michaels' desk, sweetie?

Well, Ana, I wanted to talk to you alone,

so I sent Lorne out to get me a latte.

Oh.

Listen.

I don't think we can see each other anymore.

Oh, this is so sudden.

I mean, I thought we made such a great couple.

Well, I thought so too at first.

What do you mean at first?

We've only been going out a week.

Yes, but...

in that week

my career has exploded.

I just think that my fans would prefer

to see me unattached.

Yeah.

I understand.

But, um, I'm not gonna lie to you.

This really hurts.

And I don't want it ever said

that Ana Gasteyer kept Tommy Solomon

locked up in a cage.

I let him run free in the wild

like the bird he always longed to be.

Okay.

Well, that was a mixed metaphor,

but I'll take it.

Thanks, Ana.

Hey...thanks for not crying.

There's a pro.

Love ya. You do?

No, not like that.

I think meeting Mary in a parallel universe

has done wonders for our relationship.

It's like starting anew.

You know, it has been so great

for me and Don too.

Having sex with a mayor

is incredible, you guys.

I fired four people today.

What, from the network? What for?

Well, they were smarter than me.

Only four?

[sighs]

I can't believe how quickly

Mary warmed to me.

It's so easy to talk to her.

So easy to ask her out.

She's much easier here than in Rutherford.

If that's possible.

I see what you did there.

You are the professional funnyman!

Well, it's New York.

Brings out the best in all of us.

Now that I've found Mary,

I could stay here forever.

Wait. Do you think we could, Dick?

I'd like to propose a toast.

Here's to New York.

If you can make it there,

then you don't have to go back to Rutherford.

The Solomons are staying.

Hey, hey! Whoo-hoo!
