Queen + EMI's Christmas Card Fiasco
[We see the four band mates in ugly sweaters with the management and production teams in the back of a green backdrop with a banner that reads “Happy Holidays from EMI + Queen” as Mick prepares to take the photo]
Mick : [snaps photo] Got it!
*applause*
Freddie: Wait! Let's do a fun one!
Deaky: One 'Charlie's Angels'! Let's go!
[Everybody does the finger-gun pose]
Brian: This is just a Christmas card from EMI! No one's putting this on their frigde!
Josh: Oh! I got it! you guys, how 'bout this. Guys, what if all the boys are on one side, all the girls are on the other. One side is like, 'why I oughta', and the other's like, 'Let's go shopping!'.
[Silence]
Spike: Let's jump in the air!
Freddie: That's a picture! Yes! We're gonna jump in the air. Here we go!
Mick: 1..2..3! [snaps photo as everyone jumps at different times] Not everyone jumped.
Freddie: Okay, darlings. Please jump in the air this time. Let's go!
Mick: 1..2..3![takes picture as everyone still jumps at different times] Still some people not jumping.
Deaky: You gotta be kidding me! Who isn't jumping!?
Roger: I'll tell you who! Miami, Josh, Chris, Mack, and Eddy!
Chris: I am jumping!
Roger: Oh really? Let me see.
[Chris barley jumps]
Roger: Oh my god.
Reid: Also it's is a store-bought camera. It's not one of those special military-grade cameras that would be able to capture that.
Mick: Um, another thing: Pete is jumping way too early. He's on the ground by '3'.
Pete: I didn't want to miss it.
Brian: Well, if we all jump really high, we'll be in the air longer.
Miami: Here's a question nobody's asking: Is this worth it?
Freddie: Don't answer that. Darlings, listen up and listen good. We need to just get one picture where we're all in the air at the same time. Yes? I believe in us! We can do this! Here we go!
Mick: Okay, on three, everybody in the air! 3.. [some people jump] 2.. [others jump] 1..[others jump] ..0! [takes shot]
[Roger angrily lunges towards the camera, as everyone begins to yell]
Brian: ROG! NO!
[cut to studio]
Freddie: We didn't get it.
