                          Oh, hello there, kids! Welcome to Lolly's 
                         Candy Shop.
 
                                     STAN
                         We're the kids whose names you called 
                         on your commercial last night. We're 
                         here to do the shopping spree!
 
                                     LOLLY
                         Oh that's great!

                                     CARTMAN
                         You bet your fat clown ass it is!

                                     LOLLY
                         Okay! Well I'll just need your ticket 
                         stub.
 
                                     CARTMAN
                          ...ticket stub?

                                     LOLLY
                         Well you know. When you entered the 
                         contest you got the other half of this 
                         ticket. 
 
                                     STAN
                         Oh shit. Who had the ticket stub??
 
                         
                                     KYLE
                         It was such a long time ago!

                         Wu-we don't "really" need the ticket 
                         stub, do we?
 
                                     LOLLY
                         Don't need the ticket stub?? Are you 
                         high?? How else do I know you're the 
                         winners?
 
                                     STAN
                         Because our names were called on the 
                         commercial last night!
 
                                     LOLLY
                         Sh-orry boys. No ticket stub, no candy 
                         shopping spree. If you find it, you 
                         can come back, but you only have one 
                         week to claim the prize. That's called 
                         "The Ticking Clock." Works great in 
                         the movies. 
 
                                     CARTMAN
                          GODDAMNIT!!!

                                     STAN
                         We're gotta find that ticket!

                         Which one of us took it?! It was so 
                         long ago, I c- I can't remember.
 
                                     CARTMAN
                         You guys we've got to focus! We've got 
                         to focus, and remember.

               back then.]

                          All right. There you go. Hold on to 
                         that ticket stub. You'll need it to 
                         claim your prize.  Shign up for the 
                         five-minute shopping spree!! 
 
                                     STAN
                          You hold on to this, Cartman. I might 
                         lose it.
 
                                     CARTMAN
                          Nah, I'll lose it for sure. You keep 
                         track of it, Kyle.
 
                                     KYLE
                         Okay.  N-no, ah I don't want that much 
                         responsibility. Here, you hold on to 
                         it, Kenny.

               hold the stub as their mouths open.]

                         We know he's dead. We mean, where is 
                         his body??

                         for the-!

                         and, ah, andand we need to see his remains 
                         for closure.
 
                                     KYLE
                         Yeah. Closure.

                                     CARTMAN

               house]

                         We haven't seen you boys for so long, 
                         we thought you'd forgotten all about 
                         him.

                         No. That's an urn, boys. Kenny's inside 
                         it.
 
                                     KENNY'S MOM
                         Your friends are here to see you, Kenny. 
                          They miss you an awful lot, like we

               window and that piece of window is removed. Cartman sets the 
               circle down and looks around. He reaches up to open the window 
               latch, then opens the window door. He slips in and goes for the 
               urn. He pulls out a fake detector and moves it around]

                         Kenny McCormick died of a terminal illness.

                         what some people had to say.

                         Well, our son just said to us that he 
                         really needed to see his little friend 
                         Kenny again and... and that he thought 
                         it would work...  if he... built the 
                         ladder to heaven.

                         that it will work. We can't tell them

                         evidence that Saddam Hussein is up there 
                         building weapons of mass destruction. 
                          We have tried to communicate with Saddam

                         Saddam was originally killed, his soul 
                         actually went to hell. But while in 
                         hell he began a homosexual relationship 
                         with Satan, the Prince of Darkness.

                         to be with Hussein anymore and broke 
                         up with him about August.  When Saddam 
                         became jealous and tried to kill Satan's 
                         new lover, Chris, Satan had Saddam sent 
                         to heaven to live with Mormons as a 
                         punishment.  Question?  Yes?

                         Wait, are you saying that you boys only 
                         wanted to build a ladder to heaven so 
                         you could get some candy??
 
                                     CARTMAN
                         ...I've never heard the words "only" 
                         and "candy" in the same sentence before.

                         But... what about yoru lost friend? 
                         What about your fragile innocence and 
                         believing we could all get to heaven?

                         Yeah, well people make us kids believe 
                         that heaven is this white place with 
                         fluffy clouds and angels...
 
                                     KYLE
                         Yeah, but now we think maybe heaven 
                         isn't a place you can get to, maybe 
                         heaven is just an idea. A frame of mind 
                         or, or something gay like that. Maybe 
                         heaven... is this moment, right now.

                         So, you're saying we should bomb this 
                         moment, right now. Right! Johnson!

                                     RANDY
                         No, no. We shouldn't bomb anybody. These 
                         boys are right. The only heaven we can 
                         hope for is one here on earth, now. 
                         We should stop waiting to get into heaven 
                         and start trying to... create it.

                          And I was dumb enough to believe Saddam

                         bombs.

                         was a more intangible idea 'n you couldn't, 
                         you couldn't really get there?

                         is still in Cartman's body.
 
                                     CARTMAN
                          No no, I just drank his memories. I'm 
                         not sharing my body with that poor piece 
                         of crap. Stop calling me poor, you fat 
                         dick!  ...Oh Jesus Christ.

                         you're secretly building weapons of 
                         mass destruction up here.

                         Weapons of mass destruction? Nooo! This 
                         is a chocolate chip factory. See? 
 
                         
                                     GOD
                         It looks like a chemical weapons plant.

                         Look, God, if I was gonna secretly build 
                         a chemical weapons plant, I wouldn't 
                         make it look like a chemical weapons 
                         plant, would I? I'd make it look like 
                         a chocolate chip factory or something.
 
                         
                                     GOD
                         ...Alright, just checking.
