Eddie Murphy returned for another sketch in the SNL50 show, this time as one of three prisoners trying to try to scare a trio of shoplifters straight.
Of course, the prisoners go a bit too far, alluding in rather explicit ways what they can expect behind bars.
Joining Murphy, as “all the way” Ray May, were Kenan Thompson as Lorenzo McIntosh and Will Ferrell as Red, with Jason Sudeikis as the police officer who invites the inmates to give the youngsters a talkin.
“When I was a boy, I wanted both of my parents die on these streets,” Ray May shouted at the men.
“That’s right, and the family that adopted him made him sleep under the staircase,” Lorenzo said.
Then, Ray May said, he “got a letter from an owl telling me I had to report to a school for some kind of wizards.”
Lorenzo admonishes the men, “Is that what you want? You and Hermoine got to stop he who must not be named before he gets his hands on the Sorcerer’s Stone. Cause this here is real!”
