ADD QUOTES- Penn: Fear is useful, IF it's fear of something you can prevent. But, it's impossible to prevent the freak tragedy like Columbine because troubled kids will always find a way to break our hearts. And Michael Moore will always find a way to cash in on it. Edit
- Penn: But before we get the results, let's check back in with Cyril at SaferAmerica. [cut to Cyril still struggling with a mannequin head] Penn: We are such a**h*les. Edit
- Penn: After we swabbed the decks of our research monkeys, the swabs were delivered to a comprehensive testing lab in LA where the germs were transferred to a petri dish, allowed to grow, then run through a battery of tests and examined thoroughly by a fully qualified, state-licensed technician...who thought we were complete idiots.
