The Saddam Transcript

Recommended Posts

For all of you who want to know what was really said...;)

--------- BEGIN TRANSCRIPT ---------

December 13, 2003. Soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division have found the "spider hole" in which Saddam Hussein has been hiding.

SGT. MARK MURRAY: This is the United States Army. Whoever you are, we know you're down there. Come out right now or we will open fire!

SADDAM: Don't shoot! I am Saddam Hussein.

MURRAY: President Bush sends his regards.

SADDAM: That's nice of him. How's Georgie been?

MURRAY: He's good. The swelling’s gone down. He says he's sorry he hasn't called.

SADDAM: He's not still sore about the time I tried to kill his dad, is he?

MURRAY: Not at all. Jesus Christ, that is the filthiest shithole I’ve ever seen.

SADDAM: It’s the maid’s day off.

MURRAY: Are those rats down there with you all the time?

SADDAM: They mostly come at night. Mostly.

MURRAY: Mr. Hussein, we are taking you into custody. I need you to leave your weapon on the ground and come out of the hole.

SADDAM: No! I am the President of Iraq and I wish to negotiate.

MURRAY: We're not going to negotiate.

SADDAM: If you will not negotiate, I will never come out.

MURRAY: We'll see about that.

SADDAM: What, do you plan to use force? Do you think you and your heavily armed infantry are any match for an old man in a hole with a pistol?

MURRAY: [Under his breath] Shit! He's got us by the balls. [To Saddam] Mr. Hussein, I need to talk to my C.O.

SADDAM: Don't try anything funny! I've got you cornered!

MURRAY: Just don't shoot. I'm putting down my weapon.

SADDAM: I want to see your hands!

[Murray exchanges a few words with his commanding officer, Capt. Roger Kozlowski, and then speaks again to Saddam.]

MURRAY: All right, Mr. Hussein, you win. If you come out, we will spare your life and give you full immunity from your crimes against humanity.

SADDAM: What crimes? I haven't gassed anybody in years.

MURRAY: Didn’t you build weapons of mass destruction with the intention of using them on innocent people?

SADDAM: Yes, but it's all right, I had –

MURRAY: – yeah yeah yeah, you had Subway for lunch.

SADDAM: How did you know?

MURRAY: And didn't you also torture thousands of Iraqis in order to intimidate your enemies and maintain your iron grip on power?

[Pause.]

SADDAM: That depends on your definition of "torture."

MURRAY: We're willing to forgive all that, but we want you to tell us what you did with those weapons of mass destruction.

SADDAM: I sold them to North Korea. I gave the profits to a mysterious and powerful figure who supports my cause. He is a dangerous and terrifying man who will one day destroy America.

[Pause.]

MURRAY: Howard Dean?

SADDAM: Enough! If I agree to come out, what will I get in exchange?

MURRAY: I told you, we’re offering you immunity. We promise that you won’t be tried and executed.

SADDAM: Unacceptable! I want $10 million and a villa in the south of France. And a razor.

[Pause.]

SADDAM: Gillette Sensor, if you please. With the comfort strip.

MURRAY: Out of the question.

SADDAM: I'm warning you, I have a cell phone. Shall I call CNN? I'm sure they'd love to film this little debacle.

MURRAY: Go ahead, call them.

SADDAM: I see that you are wearing an arm patch. What does it say?

MURRAY: Um, it says "Arizona Cardinals." It’s a football team.

SADDAM: I see. And you would want all the television viewers in America to know that you are a Cardinals fan?

MURRAY: Damn you, Saddam Hussein!

SADDAM: You have a patch on your other arm, too. What is the meaning of 'Pacino Division?'

MURRAY: It's not important. What do you want?

SADDAM: If you want me to come out, you will have to make more concessions. I wish to be on a reality TV show.

MURRAY: Which one?

SADDAM: The one with the porn star.

[Pause.]

MURRAY: There’s one with a porn star now?

SADDAM: And I want a guarantee that I'll win and get to marry her.

MURRAY: No way. We’re Americans. Every contestant deserves an equal chance to nail the porn star.

SADDAM: I've got bin Laden on speed dial. I'm sure I can talk him into attacking the United States. He has operatives in New Jersey with an explosive device that can reduce the entire state to a heap of smoldering rubble.

[Pause.]

MURRAY: And?

SADDAM: I can also call the New York Times and take out an ad giving away the ending to "Lord of the Rings."

MURRAY: You wouldn't dare!

SADDAM: Wouldn't I?

MURRAY: You don't know how it ends. You're bluffing!

SADDAM: After Frodo makes it to the top of Mount Doom, Gollum tries to -

MURRAY: Stop! [To Capt. Kozlowski] He'll do it, that crazy bastard. We're in over our heads here.

KOZLOWSKI: We’d better call the boss.

MURRAY: Mr. Hussein, I'm going to contact the White House and tell President Bush about your offer.

SADDAM: Go ahead. And tell him I want my ‘Sex in the City’ DVD back.

[There is a long pause as Murray speaks to President Bush via satellite phone.]

MURRAY: Mr. Hussein, the President has rejected your offer. We are giving you two options. Either you come up and surrender unconditionally...

SADDAM: Or?

MURRAY: Or we leave you here, bring the entire Army home, and leave you in charge of this fucked-up, steaming shitpile of a country.

[Pause.]

SADDAM: Hang on, I'm getting a ladder.
