Episode Quotes
Natalie Portman:
All that kids lookin’ up to me can suck my d*ck
It's Portman mother f*cker, I drink till I’m sick
Slit your throat, and pump nitrous down the hole
Watch you laugh and cry, while I laugh you die
And all the dudes, you know I’m talkin’ to you
[Scene cuts to a group of guys]
Guys: WE LOVE YOU NATALIE!
Natalie Portman:
I wanna’ f*ck you too
‘P’ is for Portman
‘P’ is for p**sy
I’ll kill your f*ckin’ dog for fun, so don’t push me
All that kids lookin’ up to me can suck my d*ck

Slit your throat, and pump nitrous down the hole
Watch you laugh and cry, while I laugh you die
And all the dudes, you know I’m talkin’ to you

Episode Goofs
At the beginning of the episode, the audio wasn't functioning properly so you couldn't hear Natalie's monologue in one speaker.
At the time of the first Million Man March, Bryant Gumbel was working for NBC, not CBS. Also, the clip from "Token Power" is allegedly from 1992, three years before the first Million Man March.
During Weekend Update, Donald Trump (played by Darrell Hammond) refers to Martha Stewart as a "Dutch witch," even though Stewart is of Polish heritage.
Cultural References
The "Belated Black History Moment" cartoon "Token Power" pay homage to token black characters Valerie from Josie & The Pussycats, Franklin from Peanuts, and Winston Zeddemore from The Real Ghostbusters, as well as Lt. Flap from the comic strip [Beetle Bailey.
The joke that Sasha Cohen (played by Natalie Portman) mangles during Weekend Update is the infamous "The Aristocrats," which was the subject of a popular 2005 documentary.
