Jordana Spiro: These great businessmen are American heroes.
The shot cuts to Will Ferrell.
Will Ferrell: So why is Obama trying to reform health care when insurance companies are doing just fine making billions of dollars of profit.
The shot cuts to Donald Faison.
Donald Faison: Obama why?
The words – Obama why – appear and then fade out. The shot cuts to Linda Cardellini.

The shot cuts to Will Ferrell.
Will Ferrell: And insurance companies are detail oriented enough to deny claims for things like typos. If you spell something wrong, do you really deserve surgery? I don't think so.
The shot cuts to Jon Hamm.
Jon Hamm: Eighty percent of the American public support the public plan because it would give quality care people can actually afford.
The shot cuts to Thomas Lennon.
Thomas Lennon: But, when you think about it, who's really supporting it, other than eighty percent of the American people?
The shot cuts to Jordana Spiro.
Jordana Spiro: And the public option would make insurance companies lower their prices and give better service in order to “compete.”
The shot cuts to Donald Faison.
Donald Faison: What's so American about competition?
The shot cuts to Jordana Spiro.

The shot cuts to Will Ferrell.

Masi Oka: And it's five houses.
The shot fades to Robert Ben Garant.
Robert Ben Garant: Private plane.
The shot fades to Linda Cardellini.
Linda Cardellini: Five hundred million dollars in your pocket.
The shot fades to Will Ferrell.
Will Ferrell: And a mini-zoo in your back yard for exotic animals like a white tiger and pygmy horses.
The shot fades to Olivia Wilde.
Olivia Wilde: Insurance companies offer you variety.
The shot cuts to Donald Faison.
Donald Faison: They can change the price of your plan at any time or stop covering you altogether.
The shot fades to Jordana Spiro.
Jordana Spiro: Do you want to get rid of those options?
The shot cuts to Will Ferrell.
Will Ferrell: Join us in the fight to protect our insurance company profits. They've looked out for our best interests for so long.
Will Ferrell, Olivia Wilde, Jon Hamm, Donald Faison, Jordana Spiro, Linda Cardellini, Masi Oka, Thomas Lennon, and Robert Ben Garant (in unison): Now we should look out for theirs.
Thomas Lennon: And I'm not being sarcastic. Not at all.
The shot cuts to the following text:
