An almost perfect portrait of a family comedy
Bill Massey: As a man, there's only one thing you need to know about a woman.::George Devereaux: What's that?::Bill Massey: They're never the right temperature.::George Devereaux: No?::Bill Massey: Something to do with their plumbing. Reproduction. Whatever reason, most of the time... they're either too hot or too cold. Mostly too cold. So what you have to do... is carry a sweater or a jacket or something with you at all times. Something you can keep in the trunk of your car... or in your closet at work... for when their thermostat gets messed up.::George Devereaux: What else?::Bill Massey: That's it. Once you've got that covered... there's nothing else you need to know about a woman.
Paula: Have you ever seen breasts?::George Devereaux: Sure... one.::Paula: You saw one breast?::George Devereaux: No, I meant once. I saw some once.::Paula: Some?::George Devereaux: Two. I saw two, once...::Paula: You wanna see mine?::George Devereaux: Who? Me? Now?::Paula: Ready?::George Devereaux: Okay. Sure, yeah.::Paula: How do they look?::George Devereaux: Alright! Good, fine. Of course I don't have much to compare them to...
Plot
Meet Dave Bertman, a tightly wound 37 year-old father of one. Bertman's "higher" education begins when medical marijuana activists wielding "loaded" weapons interrupt a planned reunion barbecue with college debate chums. When his teenage daughter Gina Marie unexpectedly arrives with a joint found in her pocket, Bertman assumes the worst. Only after he faces his own hypocrisies, can he have the open and honest discussion needed for father and daughter to understand each other and reconnect. Meanwhile, Bertman's fellow debaters shed their inhibitions and make their own self-discoveries. Tired of seeing her grass-roots campaigns sabotaged by corporations opposing legalization, pro-pot advocate, Dr. Willa Peterson decides the kid gloves are coming off. By convincing the Fun-0nion snack food empire their sales would skyrocket if marijuana was legal, Peterson enlists their corporate might to back her cause. It will take a radical marketing campaign to change the way America thinks about marijuana, and PR guru, Arturo Goldman, of the famous PR firm Goldman, Goldberg, Goldstein, and Goldman comes up with one. "If they can use terrorists to convince people out of smoking pot, then we can use homosexuality to scare them back into it." The romp that follows leaves paranoid Bible thumpers scrambling to get their kids high to inhibit perceived homosexual tendencies. "Totally Baked" takes a satirical look at marijuana's stereotypes and mythologies using a compilation of "Man on the Street" true documentary style interviews, humorous insights by live stand-up comedians, and a series of interconnected vignettes spoofing both sides of the political debate over the legalization of marijuana.

Yet is it in fact the spirit of the play that is doing this?

Carmine Lorenzo: You are in my little pond now, and I am the big fish that runs it.
John McClane: [during the fight with Col.Stuart] Motherfuckin' motherfucker!

Al Powell: What's this about?::John McClane: Oh, just a feeling I have.::Al Powell: Ouch. When you get those feelings, insurance companies start to go bankrupt.
John McClane: Hey, Carmine, let me ask you something. What sets off the metal detectors first? The lead in your ass or the shit in your brains? [under his breath] Fat fuck.
John McClane: [McClane is forced to crawl through yet another ventilation system] Just once, I'd like a regular, normal Christmas. Eggnog, a fuckin' Christmas tree, a little turkey. But, no. I gotta crawl around in this motherfuckin' tin can.

She's the kind of girl you know,
Who likes to keep account of what she owes,
And I would try to let her out,
But I can hear her when she's not around.
And she's saying things about my hair,
She's saying things about my hair.
She's wondering why the guys don't know
Why she's afraid of what she owes.
She is only learning of
A different kind of love.
He's the only man you love,
He's the only man you're thinking of.
You'd never try to make a deal,
The kind of love that you don't have to feel.
But she's leaving him, now she's grown,
She's leaving him, now she's grown.
And I'm saying all the right things,
I'm saying all the right things.
She's feeling like she'll owe her man
A wilfull taste of all she is.
She thinks she's only learning of
A different kind of love.
So maybe she can be the man,
Get the money any way she can.
I'll wait in the house alone,
Give her what she needs when she comes home.
But I'm just as blind as the rest,
I'm just as blind as the rest.
Cause she's saying things about my hair,
She's saying things about my hair.
She's feeling like she'll owe the world,
To anyone who'll take her in.
She thinks she's only learning of
A different kind of love.
She's wondering why the guys don't know
Why she's afraid of what she owes
She is only learning of
I'm tired of sitting round the house,
I'm tried of doing well without,
I want to reconnect with you
I'm tracing patterns on the wall,
Where I'm projecting a phone call,
That I had yesterday with you
And I forget just what I ment,
When I said whatever I said,
That wasn't me, that was just talking
And I'll addmit that from the start,
I was alone, you stole my heart,
That was as far as I could see
Sweet talking gets me of the hook,
Returns the liberties I took,
And all you have to say is "fine"
And I'll continue as I do,
I'll look to everything but you,
I am asuming you are mine
My memory's playing round the clock,
Your voice is telling me to stop,
My hands are working by themselfs
My brain is dead,
My heart is cold,
I'm shaking,
Fear is taking hold,
But I am felling something else
There's something running down my face,
My things are lying round the place,
I want to reconnect with you
I'm tracing pictures on the wall,
I wonder why you haven't called,
I want to reconnect with you
I want to reconnect with you,
I want to reconnect with you,
I want to reconnect with you,
I want to reconnect with you,
I want to reconnect with you,
I only realise now,
She was drunk both times.
Is she the kind of girl
To whom it don't mean a thing?
Am I to understand that's the way you are?
Am I to understand we'll only get so far?
Am I so happy now,
It's all I thought it would be,
For the moment little brown eyes open for me.
No, I don't remember the last one.
No, I won't remember you.
I only realise now,
That it's not my fault.
If it's the kind of world
In which it don't mean a thing.
And I don't think that I
Will get dressed tonight.
It's just a sense that I
Finally have it right.
Am I so happy now,
It's all I thought it would be,
For the moment little brown eyes open for me.
No, I don't remember the last one.
You don't like the pressure of my calls,
It comes so easy to me, easy to me.
And you don't like to see your heroes fall,
It comes so easy to me, easy to me.
Make me drop my number, let me know
If you're uneasy with me, easy with me.
Cause you don't like the pressure of my calls,
It comes so easy to me, easy to me.
So leave it alone, leave it alone and say tonight,
My baby decides.
Make me drop my number, let me know
If you're un-
You don't like the pressure of my calls,
It comes so-
You don't like the pressure of my calls,
I'm tired of sitting round the house,
I'm tried of doing well without,
I want to reconnect with you
I'm tracing patterns on the wall,
Where I'm projecting a phone call,
