Okay, children, let's all take our seats.
As you all know, Thanksgiving is only two weeks away.
And so the school has arranged for a lecture
from a real live Native American.
Oh, neat-o! Huh, fellas?
Hello, boys and girls.
My name is David "Running Horse" Sawitzki.
And I am 1/16 Cherokee Indian.
Does that mean we only have to pay 1/16 attention to you?
There's been a lot of stories
about the first Thanksgiving, and unfortunately,
they are mostly geared towards making the Pilgrims look good
and my people being degraded as usual.
Was Thanksgiving about turkey and peace,
or was it the beginning of the genocide of an entire race?
Thanksgiving is about murder?
This is bullcrap.
A guest speaker comes to our class
and assigns us a report on Thanksgiving?
Well, it is kind of true, you know.
Thanksgiving is fun and all,
but the Native Americans got pretty screwed over.
Yeah, now my video game time is getting screwed over by them.
Hey, fat ass,
instead of laying in bed eating, why don't you come and help?
Jesus, Kyle, you're really being grumpy today.
We all have to do this report together, dude.
You guys, we are wasting time.
If we have to write a report on Thanksgiving,
let's just go downstairs and watch TV.
How is that gonna help?
Dumb ass, it's November.
The History Channel is probably playing
Thanksgiving specials back-to-back.
We can learn everything we need!
You're watching The History Channel,
where the truth is history.
A lot has been written about the first Thanksgiving
between Pilgrims and Native Americans.
But what really happened at that first historic dinner?
Dude, see? I told you.
Who needs to read a bunch of stupid books
when we've got History Channel?
We know the first Thanksgiving was in the fall of 1621,
but new evidence suggests that the first exchanging of food
between the Pilgrims and Native Americans
may have been visited by aliens.
In every journal entry we research
from those early Pilgrims, not one entry
mentions anything about aliens not being there.
And what about the food?
Does the appearance of stuffing at the first Thanksgiving table
suggest a kind of alien technology?
Oh-ho!
What? This isn't history.
Dude, it is called History Channel.
Yeah!
And if we look in all the journals
and all the history books,
there is no reference to stuffing before 1621.
So where did it come from?
Did it come from space? We just don't know.
Did ancient aliens shape the first Thanksgiving?
Is it mere coincidence that Cape Cod,
when viewed from space, looks like an alien life-form?
What exactly did the Pilgrims experience?
How exactly did those beings from another world
shape the dinner we celebrate every November?
What?
Kyle, why are you being so grumpy?
Are you on your period again?
We are not basing research for our report on this crap!
Okay, let's take a vote.
Who thinks the possibility of ancient aliens at Thanksgiving
makes for an interesting history report?
Dude!
Okay, and who wants to take a little Pamprin
so their menstrual cramps stop bringing everyone down?
- Kyle. - All right, fine.
Let's just get this stupid report over with.
Yes?
A report from where?
Does Congress know about this yet?
Try to keep it contained, and get the helicopters ready.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
- Darling? - They found something.
This could be it.
Did you guys know that when you stop menstruating,
it's called menopause?
What?
Yeah, God takes your period away,
and apparently it makes you really irritable.
I was thinking maybe that's why Kyle's been so grouchy lately,
'cause he's going through menopause.
Dude, shut your fucking mouth!
See what I mean, you guys?
- Is that them? - That's them.
You boys have been very busy.
We need to know everything that you know.
About what?
Have you been contacted by alien life-forms?
Did you come across some kind of ship or something?
Dude, look, we just saw all this stuff on History Channel.
We are The History Channel.
For years, we've been collecting information on Thanksgiving.
We're getting close to the truth.
And now you boys have the exact same information.
It can't be coincidence.
We saw it on your channel.
What exactly did you see?
That stuffing was never heard of before 1621,
so it might be alien technology.
My God.
Would you be willing to say that on camera for an interview?
* I can hang out with my buddies *
* And get into trouble *
All right, Butters, that's enough MTV for one day.
You need to watch something that stimulates your brain.
- I'm putting on History Channel. - Okay, Dad.
You're watching The History Channel,
the only network dedicated to history.
Coming up next, it's Monster Quest! Argh!
Followed by Hairy Bikers. Grr!
But now back to part three of Ancient Aliens at Thanksgiving.
It has become a widely accepted fact
that Thanksgiving was a meal attended by Pilgrims,
Native Americans, and alien beings.
Stuffing wasn't mentioned anywhere until 1621,
and it might have been alien technology.
And while the number of people who accept the alien theory
continues to grow,
some experts have stepped forward
with a wildly different view altogether.
Could it be that Pilgrims were actually aliens themselves?
Of course you can't prove there were no aliens
at the first Thanksgiving,
just like you can't prove the-
the Pilgrims themselves weren't aliens.
Can you prove that?
Here, draw that Thanksgiving turkey symbol with your hand.
Maybe that symbol matches galaxies in space or something!
Ooh!
Could it be that the Pilgrims we've read about all these years
actually came from another planet?
History experts like Kyle Broflovski say yes.
You might as well just say Pilgrims and Indians
were all aliens who came here and made
some kind of intergalactic treaty.
Wow, check it out, dude. We're on TV.
How can they make a show out of this?
I wasn't even agreeing with them.
What are you doing?
Uh-oh.
The first Thanksgiving was a space treaty?
Native Americans are aliens?
I was just explaining how a negative argument
doesn't make a-
Haven't my people been through enough?
- God damn you! - Ah, dude!
The white man is gonna pay for his lies!
Look at this, sir!
An aerial photograph of Cape Cod,
where the Pilgrims landed in 1620.
Five Pilgrim settlements, with Plymouth Rock here.
The same symbols appear everywhere in history.
The symbology lines up to mirrored points in space.
If Kyle Broflovski is right,
then Plymouth Rock is some kind of wormhole.
Pilgrims and Indians were the aliens.
How did we not think of it?
Sometimes it takes the innocence of a child
to make us see the most simple things.
- True dat. - True dat.
Get all those tourists out of here.
We need this place secure.
All right, people, let's clear out.
We need you all to disperse.
This area is under quarantine.
Get me a piece of chalk.
Huh. Nothing.
Guess Kyle Broflovski was wrong.
Well, at least we weren't outsmarted
by a nine-year-old kid.
We should have known. Pilgrims couldn't be from space.
Ro-ock!
There. You can see it right there.
An object clearly fell from the sky and struck the Earth.
What is it?
It's a Pilgrim, sir.
So then Professor Broflovski was right after all.
Not long ago, it was an accepted fact
that civilizations on Earth shared the universe
with beings from other planets.
These alien beings visited our world
and once even settled it,
from deep within the galaxy Canis Major
and a distant planet called Plymouth.
Fellow Pilgrims!
The great captain hath gone missing,
and thine enemies have attacked our stuffing mines!
We must prepare for war with the Indians!
Now it is our time!
We shall attack Plymouth,
and we will take all their stuffing!
Mom? Mom!
Did you already get stuffing for Thanksgiving dinner?
What, hon?
Tell me you've already got
everything we need for Thanksgiving!
Oh, Thanksgiving's still a couple weeks away, sweetie.
- I haven't gone shoppies yet. - Oh, God! Oh, no!
What is it, hon?
Clyde Donovan said that he saw on the news
there's gonna be a massive stuffing shortage!
Get your coat on, Mom. We got to go to the store!
- You guys have stuffing? - Stuffing?
- Sure, aisle 17. - Oh! We're not too late!
Mother, come!
Hey! Where is it?
It's right there, right on the, uh-
Wait. That can't be right. Hey, Chet.
What happened to all the stuffing?
What are you talking about?
We got more in the back, right?
I just did inventory in the back.
It was all put out here.
You mean it's two weeks until Thanksgiving
and we're completely out of stuffing?
- Oh, no! - No!
- No!
You dare come to Plymouth, Ambassador,
after attacking our stuffing mines?
The stuffing mines were never yours.
Without control of the mines,
we cannot supply stuffing to the mortals, Ambassador!
This will be war!
You are in no position to declare war.
Your lead commander is nowhere to be found.
And how knoweth you that?
Word travels fast in our sector.
I do not give three bowls of stuffing what saith you.
We will take back control of the stuffing mines.
Then the Thanksgiving treaty will be off.
And I pray to stuffing that you are wrong.
Where are you, Miles Standish?
And furthermore,
everything Kyle Broflovski said
about Native Americans being from outer space was untrue.
Native Americans were brutalized,
and David Sawitzski's ancestors deserve an apology!
It was wrong to mix aliens and real history.
I don't know, dude.
Have you seen that stuff
about the pyramids and the link to Mars?
Dude, there's a guy with a gun here!
I'm just saying there's lots of symbols and signs out there
that show aliens and history are pretty linked.
Will you guys stop?
Just keep writing your apology!
How now, Indian?
Why hath thy race sent me here to Earth?
Huh?
Dude!
You Indians took me to thy planet
and then cast me here!
Why?
Yeah! Go, dude!
Whoo-hoo!
Hath thy race attacked our stuffing mines
and sent me here to die?
Tell me, Indian!
I-I-I'm only 1/16.
Hold your lying tongue!
This shall prove if thou arts Indian or not!
Ah, he was not.
I didn't think so.
I hath been told of your expertise,
Kyle of Devry Institute.
I need your wisdom to get back to my planet.
Into the wheeled chariot that strucketh me!
We must make haste to Cape Cod!
- Who's this? - This is Natalie.
Hi, guys!
All right, sir, we got some more information
on the Pilgrim who crashed to Earth.
30 seconds after impact, the Pilgrim was hit by a truck
and then put into the backseat.
Who did the truck belong to?
We believe it belonged to Natalie Portman, sir.
The actress? That doesn't make sense.
It gets worse.
All over the country,
people are reporting a shortage of stuffing.
We don't think it's coincidence.
You're telling me that somehow during a stuffing shortage,
this Pilgrim dropped down from space
and got into a truck driven by Natalie Portman?
Look, if anyone knows about stuffing,
it's Natalie Portman!
We have to find Professor Broflovski.
He was right about all of this. He'll know what to do.
We shall make camp here for the night.
On the morrow, perhaps we can reach Cape Cod.
And Thanksgiving may yet be saved.
What is wrong with Kyle of Devry Institute?
I think he's just kind of pissed off
he was wrong about the whole ancient aliens thing.
He seems almost like a Puritan lady
whose period hath stopped.
I fear, Kyle, that you still do not know whose side to be on.
No, I don't.
It must have been very difficult for you,
being the one on your planet with his wild theories
that Pilgrims and Indians were not of this world.
I actually only just said that sarcastically.
Then you are only just a remarkably gifted child.
Here, let me show you.
Plymouth, Indi, Colthenheim, and this planet over here
nobody really cares about.
The five are connected by a series of wormholes.
My people came to your world, and so did our enemies.
But we made a treaty.
And for 300 years, our people have not fought.
But now that treaty is over.
But I always read that Native Americans were here
and the Pilgrims and other settlers
kind of took their lands from them.
You can't believe what everyone tells you, Kyle.
You have to open your eyes.
Soon your wisdom will open the wormhole back to Plymouth,
and the stuffing mines can again be ours,
for he who controls the stuffing controls the universe.
Hold it right there!
We found Professor Broflovski! He is with the Pilgrim!
Stay back, all of you!
I will get to Cape Cod and cannot be stopped!
Come, boys. Let us fight to the death!
Wait! Stop! Stop!
Please, Mr. Standish, we are all on the same side here.
We know why there's a stuffing shortage.
We've been trying to get the wormhole open.
I trust none but them! Indians hath betrayed us.
I must return to Plymouth so my king can know the truth!
Please! We're The History Channel.
We care as much about the truth as you do.
Then get us to Cape Cod as soon as possible.
My lord! My lord, the battle is lost!
We have tried to stop the Indians on their home planet,
but yea, they are too strong!
Then our last chance for survival is gone?
I'm sorry, my lord.
All Pilgrim forces sent to the Indians' planet
have been wiped out.
And so, soon, the Indians will be here.
Sound the corn horn! We must abandon Plymouth!
The stuffing mines are ours!
Earth is connected to Plymouth by this wormhole here.
Once I get back, I will assemble my people to attack Indi
and regain control of the stuffing mines.
If all goes as planned, you will all have stuffing
in time for Thanksgiving.
But, Mr. Standish, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
We've tried to get the wormhole open with this symbol,
and it didn't work!
Of course not!
You had the correct symbol,
but you were missing the keeper of the portal.
The keeper of the- Of course! Natalie Portman!
We were wondering what she had to do with all this.
Natalie Portman controls the wormhole!
Our window of opportunity is closing, sir.
The wormhole has to be opened now.
All right, Miss Portman,
we need you to open your wormhole!
Mm, no.
Please, Miss Portman,
you've got to open your wormhole right now.
Mm. Uh-uh.
Curses and cranberries!
I must get to Plymouth now! Do as they say!
Mm. No.
There has to be a way to get the portal open.
Where is our expert?
What do we do, Professor Broflovski?
I'm not a professor.
The History Channel said you were!
You are the fucking History Channel!
Please, Kyle of Devry Institute,
there is no more time for squabble.
The universe is at stake.
You knew everything else.
You somehow knew about all of this.
You knew it here.
You must know how to get Natalie Portman
to open her wormhole.
So you, uh-you have any brothers or sisters, Natalie?
I had a lot of really close friends growing up
but not any brothers or sisters.
I was an only child.
Wow. Awesome. Um...
I have dual citizenship, United States and Israel.
Oh, thanks!
Um, so...
so dual citizenship, wow.
You know that-I never knew anyone that had that.
Well, I went to Harvard while I was acting.
I got a B.A.
But I did classes at University of Jerusalem too.
Cool. Cool.
You want to order some dessert?
Thanks. That was a lot of fun.
Yeah, it was cool. Thanks.
Um, so is there any way you'd...
What?
You know, could you...
What?
Would you please just open your wormhole?
Oh.
Mm, no.
- Mm, okay. - Yes!
All right, let's go, folks!
But just for a sec, though.
Thank you, Kyle of Devry Institute.
Now the Indians can be stopped, and Thanksgiving will be saved.
Yeah, you're welcome. I'm sorry I doubted you.
And, guys, I'm sorry I acted like a know-it-all.
It's cool, dude. We understand.
I guess we should all realize that history
and alien technology really do go hand in hand.
Now make way, children, for I have a war to fight!
For stuffing!
Take all their stuffing!
The treaty ends now.
With the wormhole once again open,
Miles Standish was able to finally command
the Pilgrim armies.
Now attack their left flank! Good!
They're retreating!
Hit them with the anti-Indian device!
The Pilgrims fought off the Indians,
making stuffing once again available
on all our Thanksgiving tables.
Yay, stuffing mine.
And now you know the true story behind Thanksgiving.
Wow, there was a lot about Thanksgiving
I never knew before.
Yeah, History Channel rules.
But was the first Thanksgiving
really just about Pilgrims and Indians from space,
or was there something more?
Shocking new evidence suggests
that the first Thanksgiving might also have been haunted!
There is certainly no evidence
that the first Thanksgiving dinner was not haunted.
The Pilgrims welcomed the Indians,
but did they also unknowingly welcome spirits
from beyond the grave?
- Oh! - Oh, come on!
