She extols the virtues of traveling to 'somewhere in Florida that doesn't have a beach,' seeing their father (Mikey Day) smoke cigarettes indoors and mimic Jimmy Buffett, meet 'a lady (Kate McKinnon) who wants to be called by her first name' and sleep on a broken futon.

Then, they got into bargaining: 'I don't need a full impeachment/But we just need a little fun/Please just tell us we aren't crazy/At least indict his oldest son.'Įven with that, Strong couldn't maintain a cheery facade, suffering a mini-panic attack before her 'SNL' sisters - by now the troupe's other female players had joined in - got her back on track.
