                                       "SOUTH PARK"

                                       Episode 206

                               "THE MEXICAN STARING FROG"

                                        Written by

                                Trey Parker & Matt Stone



               [A television is on, and a new show seems to be on the air]
 
               
                                     ANNOUNCER
                         And now back to Huntin' and Killin' 
                         with South Park's favorite hunters, 
                         Jimbo and Ned. 
 
                                     JIMBO
                         Hi, I'm Jimbo Kern, and this here is 
                         Ned. Say 'Hi', Ned.
 
                                     NED
                         M-hi, Ned.

                                     JIMBO
                          Now, idn't that great?  We have a terrific 
                         show for you today: we're gonna kill 
                         some elk, and we're gonna kill some 
                         mountain goats. Now, the new law passed 
                         by Colorado legislature, which Ned and 
                         I call 'Pussy Law #4', states that we 
                         can no longer kill animals in defense.
 
                         
               "PUSSY LAW #4"

               NO ANIMAL SHALL BE HARMED,

               EVEN IN SELF DEFENSE, UNLESS

               SPECIFIC LICENSE AND SEASON IS

               IN ORDER. SELF DEFENSE CAN ONLY

               BE JUSTIFIED BY EXTREME, PROVABLE

               PERIL AND OR DOCUMENTED VISIBLE

               BODILY HARM.

               In other words, our old line of 'It's comin' right for us'-
 
               
                                     NED
                         It's comin' right for us.

                                     JIMBO
                         -no longer works. So now, we only kill 
                         naimals to, quote, thin out their numbers. 
                         If we don't hunt, then these animals 
                         will grow too big in number and they 
                         won't have enough food. So you see, 
                         we have to kill animals, or else they'll 
                         DIE.  Uuh. So, roll the tape.  Here 
                         we are at Shafer's Crossing lookin' 
                         for some animals.
 
                                     JIMBO
                         Looky, Ned, there are some deer!  Quick, 
                         Ned. Thin out their numbers!
 
                                     NED
                         Thin out their numbers! 

                                     JIMBO
                         Good work, Ned. Now, they won't starve.
 
                         
                                     JIMBO
                         That sure was a great hunting trip. 
                         We saved those deer from extinction.
 
                         
                                     NED
                         Mmmwe're environmentalists.

                                     JIMBO
                         Comin' up next, we're gonna drop some 
                         napalm on an unsuspecting family of 
                         beavers. And also, try to thin out the 
                         numbers of some endangered species.

                         Mr. Garrison, what's Vietnam?

                                     MR. GARRISON
                         What's Vietnam? A question a child might 
                         ask, but not a childish question. Heheheheheheheheheh. 
                         Children, for the next few days, we'll 
                         be learning all about Vietnam. Chances 
                         are that somebody in your own lives 
                         was affected by this incredible war.
 
                         
                                     MR. HAT
                         That's right, Mr. Garrison. The Vietnam 
                         War was sticky and icky.
 
                                     KYLE
                          Mr. Garrison. Were you in Vietnam?
 
                         
               [Mr. Garrison frowns as he seems to recall an incident in that 
               war. An injured man is dragged to a helicopter as fresh troops 
               wait to replace him]

               [The class is waiting. Now Mr. Garrison is smiling as the next 
               scene begins. A group of men is seen disrobed and bathing. At 
               the end of it, he laughs to himself]

                         No, I wasn't in Vietnam. But sometimes, 
                         I like to pretend I was. Anyway, children, 
                         I'm going to assign you all a paper.

                         I want you all to find somebody in your 
                         own life who was in Vietnam, and interview 
                         them about it.

                         septic tanks to support your drug habit.

                         TV show.
 
               [Back to Huntin' and Killin']

                         And now, time for

               Jimbo's

               Mysteries

               of the

               Unexplained

               [the letters are wavy and uneven. The boys come to see the taping] 
               One of our loyal viewers from South Park sent us some 8mm film 
               of what he claims to be the Mexican Staring Frog of Southern 
               Sri Lanka. Now, as you all know, the Mexican Staring Frog of 
               Southern Sri Lanka can supposedly kill you with one horrid gaze. 
               If a person even so much as looks into the frog's eyes, they 
               can be paralyzed, or even die. And this film proves that that 
               frog may very well exist. [it plays. Shown is a snowy field, 
               with the camera looking from behind some blades of grass] Now 
               watch carefully, you're gonna see the Mexican staring frog. [nothing 
               seems to be happening] There! There, did you see it? Roll that 
               back again! [the film is replayed] Now, freeze it! [the film 
               is frozen, and there's an object flying through the air.] Well, 
               I'd like to know what all you skeptics have to say now! What 
               do you think, Ned?
 
                                     NED
                         Mwhoa, I'm scared.

                                     JIMBO
                         Well, be sure to join us next time. 
                         Until then
 
               We're so glad you spent your time with us

               While we slaughtered our way through nature's guts

               Come again and stay a while

               We'll kill a lot more living things to make them bleed

                                     NED
                         Mmgood night.

                         Aand we're cut. Great show, guys.

                                     JIMBO
                         Oh, looky who's here. My little nephew, 
                         Stanley.  So, you're interested in your 
                         Uncle Jimbo's big TV show, huh?
 
                                     STAN
                         No. We have to do a stupid report on 
                         Vietnam. You and Ned are the only guys 
                         we know who were there.
 
                                     JIMBO
                         Oh. Yeah, we sure were.

                         Cartman, what kind of stupid-ass question 
                         is that?! Of course it was fun!
 
                                     JIMBO
                         Well, sure Vietnam was fun. But not 
                         like goin-to-the-circus fun, or fly-fishin-in-Montana 
                         fun. No, Vietnam was more like shovin' 
                         shards of broken glass up your ass and 
                         then sittin' in a tub of Tabasco sauce 
                         fun.

                          I remember I had just gotten off the 
                         Ferris wheel.

                         are here. I'm assigning one of them

                         Thanks, Ned. Now, the bad guys have 
                         been spotted about ten clicks north 
                         of here. I know that you and Kern are 
                         best suited to take them out. Are you 
                         up for it?

                         Sri Lanka right here in South Park.

                         Yes, now we're about to roll the film, 
                         but remember: if you look the Mexican 
                         staring frog in the eyes, you could 
                         go catatonic. We don't know if this 
                         applies to pictures of the frog or not, 
                         but who wants to take chances? So when 
                         we roll this film, be sure to look away. 
                          Okay, roll the film, Tom.  Is it over?

               Okay, it's over. [they lower their arms and sit up] Well, there 
               you have it. Undeniable proof that the Mexican staring frog of 
               Southern Sri Lanka exists. And you saw it here, on the Jimbo 
               and Ned show.

                         uh "skeptics" thought that the film 
                         we showed of the Mexican staring frog 
                         of Southern Sri Lanka was a fake. That 
                         you say it didn't harm anybody. Well, 
                         it just so happens that we just received 
                         another film from another anonymous 
                         viewer.  Roll it.  There you go. Proof 
                         that not only is this frog real, but 
                         it is doing harm to the people of South 
                         Park as we speak.

                         Sri Lanka is just something- mmade up 
                         by Jimbo and Ned, we can have them taken

                         roller coaster, but… all we ever wanted 
                         was a log ride. We waited and we waited, 
                         but… they never built us one. I think- 
                         Danforth wanted the log ride more than 
                         anybody, but he… he had to settle with

                         Ned, hit him with the shotgun! Now,

                         frog for a week based on some video 
                         footage we received from a viewer. Well, 
                         it turns out that these kids faked the 
                         footage!
 
                                     JESUS
                         Is that true, Stam?

                                     STAN
                         It was just a joke; we didn't think 
                         it would hurt anybody.
 
                                     JESUS
                          Uh, we'll find out more about this 
                         debauchery when we return.

                                     STAN
                         Whoa, I don't take drugs and worship 
                         Satan. That's a lie.

                         show to be boring. Somebody get pissed 
                         off and throw a chair at Ned here.

                         I'll tell you why. Because he's on drugs

                         with you people?! Look around you, Stanley. 
                         Look at all the pain and suffering your 
                         lie has caused. 
 
                                     STAN
                         Wull we only did it because Jimbo lied 
                         to us first. We had this report on the 
                         Vietnam War for school, and we interviewed 
                         Jimbo about it and he made up all this 
                         stuff about Vietnam, and he got us in 
                         trouble. 
 
                                     JIMBO
                         Hey, now. Everything I told you boys 
                         about the war actually happened.
 
                                     STAN
                         Mr. Garrison said that there was no 
                         way you could have defeated the entire 
                         Viet Cong army by yourself.
 
                                     JESUS
                         The entire Viet Cong army?

                         I uh… Well, okay, I might have embellished 
                         the truth a little, but that's different.
 
                         
                                     JESUS
                         Is it?

                                     JIMBO
                         Well, sure. I mean, eh…  Well, no uh, 
                         I guess not.
 
                                     JESUS
                         And as for you, Stan uh, I think you 
                         need to kick your drug habit pretty 
                         soon.
 
                                     STAN
                         Wait a second-I don't take drugs-that 
                         was a lie!
 
                                     JESUS
                         Wait. Jimbo made that up?

                                     STAN
                         No. Your producer did.  She made Jimbo 
                         tell everybody that I did drugs.
 
                                     JESUS
                         What?

                                     STAN
                         During the break. Your producer came 
                         over, and told Jimbo what to say about 
                         me. She told him to lie!
 
                                     JIMBO
                         It's true. She did. Hu-I'm such a tool.
 
                         
                                     JESUS

                         Yeah. I didn't wanna do it, Jesus. They 
                         made me do that.

                         to tell a good story. I never meant 
                         for you boys to get in trouble.

                         We're sorry for making you look stupid

                         home and show him some good hard-core 
                         porn-he'll snap right out of it. Won't

                         can't wait to get back to my old show
