Cindy Seven days. Oh my God. I'm gonna die next Monday?
TS Tabitha's Voice
Yes. No. Wait. Monday. That would be seven business days. This is seven days starting now.
Cindy So seven days to this very hour? My watch broke. How am I gonna know the exact hour?
TS Tabitha's Voice
Forget hours. This day seven days from now.
Cindy But there's a holiday coming up. Do you count the holiday?
TS Tabitha's Voice
Well, that depends. What holiday?
Cindy Martin Luther King Day.
TS Tabitha's Voice
Then no.
Cindy Why not? Everybody at work is taking it off.
TS Tabitha's Voice
Jesus Christ, lady. I'm giving you seven friggin' days. I can come over now and kill the shit out of you if you'd rather have that. [Hangs up]
Cindy Hello?
TS Tabitha's Voice
It's me. How you doing?
Cindy Fine.
TS Tabitha's Voice
Enjoying your last week? I can't wait to see you. Six days now, right?
Cindy Yeah.
TS Tabitha's Voice
It was great catching up. Can I speak to Cody?
Cindy Why? He didn't watch the tape.
TS Tabitha's Voice
Yes, he did. Come on, Cindy, I do this for a living.
Cindy (Cindy hangs up. The phone rings again)
Hello?
TS Tabitha's Voice
Hello, I'm calling from "Reader's Digest" with a fantastic offer for Cody. (snickers)
Cindy (gasps)
No, you're not! You're that evil little girl from the tape!
TS Tabitha's Voice
Okay, you got me. How about I just leave a message for him?
Cindy Fine. (writes the message down) Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay, how do you spell that? Right. Okay, got it. Bye. (Cindy holds the paper up, which reads SEVEN DAYS) AAAAHHH!!
RG Ross Giggins
Turning now to sports...
R Ross
(Cindy types new text for the teleprompter)
And an evil video tape that kills anyone who watches it in seven days. It's true. We're all in danger. There's an alien force that's trying prevent you from knowing the truth.
CW Carson Ward
[Noticing Ross, and Cindy at the teleprompter keyboard]
Oh, no. [Rushes over to Cindy] Campbell, are you insane?!
R Ross
It's a horrible fate.
Cindy Carson, I have to do this!
R Ross
[Ward shoves Cindy out of the way and types new text; Cindy comes back and the two begin fighting for control of the teleprompter keyboard.]
Correction, there really is no danger. Actually, I didn't really mean anything I just said. Yes, I did. Every word of it. Everyone watching this could be dead in a week.
R Ross
[The Janitor joins in, making it a three-way fight over the teleprompter's keyboard.]

[The Janitor has won the fight for the keyboard. He smirks as he types, then leaves the studio.]
I been cleanin' after this dumb-ass cracker Giggins for ten years, but I been hittin' it with his woman for twelve. Know what I'm sayin', ****? She likes her some chocolate. Sharpton for President, y'all. I'm outie. Peace.
Cindy All you need is a family...
And we can be that family.
T Tabitha
(Tabitha turns into a little girl)
Thank you all. Your love has broken the curse and freed my soul. I'll never have to kill again.
Cindy Really?
T Tabitha
(Tabitha turns back into a corpse)
Nah! I'm just screwing with you! (she raises a knife)
(President Harris opens the door and unknowingly hits Tabitha, causing her to fall in the well)
I just wanted to tell you both, good luck, we're all counting on you.
Cindy Hello?
S ShaNeequa
I know. You're Cindy. Be right with you.
Cindy Aunt ShaNeequa?
S ShaNeequa
Bingo. But you can call me the Oracle. And don't worry about that vase.
Cindy What vase? [Bumps into a vase but it doesn't fall off] Oh! Sorry. I didn't know. [Walks into a doric column with a vase braining her] Oh! Aah!
S ShaNeequa
That vase. Please, sit. [Cindy sits and farts]
Cindy It was the chair.
S ShaNeequa
Mmm. [Farting loudly] Yes, the chair. I know why you've come. A great mystery lies ahead of you, but you must not shy away from the challenge. Only you can be the one... [Orpheus enters and turns on TV] Orpheus?
O Orpheus
I'm watching the game.
S ShaNeequa
Do you mind? The Lakers will win by 12. [Orpheus raises both hands and drops TV remote on ground in expressed displeasure]
Cindy So can you tell me about-
Cindy Yes. I watched it and-
S ShaNeequa
The phone rang.
Cindy Right. Then this voice said-
S ShaNeequa
That you would die.
Cindy Okay, that's getting-
S ShaNeequa
Extremely annoying.
Cindy Yeah.
O Orpheus
Try being married to her. I catch shit about women I ain't slept with yet.
S ShaNeequa
You made a copy of the tape. Let's see it. [They start playing tape]
Cindy Yes. Okay. ShaNeequa, can you tell me if... The tape is connected to the crop circles and the aliens?
S ShaNeequa
Yes. But it's up to you to discover how for yourself.
Cindy Look, it's a...
Cindy I was going to say lighthouse.
O Orpheus
Find that lighthouse. It's your destiny.
Cindy Wait. What is that? [Picks fly off TV woman's nose] Oh, my God. [Fly flies away and flies back to its original spot]
S ShaNeequa
[ShaNeequa grabs a flyswatter and swats screen with TV woman reacting]
There we go! [TV woman retaliates with flyswatter on ShaNeequa] Ugh!
S ShaNeequa
I knew that was gonna happen!
O Orpheus
Uh-oh. Come on.
S Shaneequa
[TV woman whistles and brushes hair nonchalantly]
Oh, hell, no! [Grabs TV woman] Get your ass out of the TV! What's wrong with you? I'm gonna teach you! Get out of that TV!
O Orpheus
[Manhandles her away]
Baby, no! No! Let her go! Let her go! Let her go! We gonna get another lawsuit!
S ShaNeequa
She spit on me! I'm gonna kill the bitch!
O Orpheus
Ah! You won! You won! You won! You won! Upstairs!
O Orpheus
[They do high-fives and low-fives]
Down low!
S ShaNeequa
Okay! All right!
O Orpheus
[Lunges again]
Baby, no!
O Orpheus
Is you crazy?! Baby!
S ShaNeequa
[Laughs while holding clump of hair]
What you gonna brush now? What you gonna brush now, huh?
S ShaNeequa
You picked the wrong TV to come out of! [TV woman falls down beaten]
