Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph present the Oscar...
KRISTEN: Six beautiful -- some say handsome, women invited by the Academy not only to present three awards, but also to shatter the common belief that size does not matter. I hate to tell you guys this, but it kinda does.
MAYA: Yes, but not length. (Beat.) As my grandma used to say: it can be short and still make your toes curl. And I believe, in my heart, my grandma wasn't referring to wieners, but to short films.
KRISTEN: See, I'd rather have a short film with some heft that's nice to me rather than a long film that just lies there and makes you do all the work.
MAYA: Yeah, but sometimes a film can be too long.
KRISTEN: Not for me.
MAYA: What?

As someone who was a Girl Scout for 13 years, I can confirm that this is 100% true. Yes, we went camping, but just so we could have wild lesbian orgies in the wilderness. All the Girl Scout cookie money goes to birth control and dental dams. THE MORE YOU KNOW.
