Customer Service - SNL

>>> I WAS WORKING AT A CALL CENTER IN PAKISTAN AT THE TIME, DOING CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR GUCCI ON LINE ORDERS. NIGHT MOSTLY ENTAILED GETTING YELLED AT BY AMERICANS OVER MISSING PACKAGES, DAMAGED MERCHANDISE, OR WRONG ORDERS. BILLING. BILLING ADDRESS. BILLING. >> SOMETIMES THEY WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING ME BECAUSE OF MY ACCENT, WHICH WOULD FILL THEM WITH THAT RED, WHITE, AND BLUE RAGE I HAD COME TO FEAR. EVERY NOW AND THEN, THOUGH, A CUSTOMER WOULD BE CALM AND EVEN FRIENDLY, AND SOMETIMES I WOULD HEAR A LONGING IN THEIR VOICE, A LONGING THAT THEY HAD BEEN TRYING TO SATISFY WITH COMPULSIVE ONLINE SHOPPING, BUT ULTIMATELY JUST NEEDED TO BE HEARD. THAT WAS THE CASE WITH THIS WOMAN. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I EVER SPOKE TO HER. FIRST AND LAST NAME, PLEASE. >> MELANIA TRUMP. >> EXCUSE ME? >>> TRUMP, LIKE TOWERS IN THE SKY. >> SHE ASKED ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF. >> WHERE ARE YOU FROM? >> AND VERY ABRUPTLY TOLD ME ABOUT HER NIGHTMARES. SHE SAID SHE DREAMT OF A BLUE EYED PANTHER DRINKING AT A RIVER, LOOKING UP AT HER, AND CALMLY SAYING -- >> BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR. >> OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS I BECAME HER CONFIDANT, DREAM JOURNAL, AND ONE TRUE FRIEND. MY SHIFT STARTED AT MIDNIGHT, AND ON OCCASION I'D LISTEN TO HER TILL DAWN. HAVE YOU TALKED TO HIM ABOUT THAT? >> IT'S DIFFICULT TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE NOT SOLID, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT ARE ABSTRACT. >> RIGHT. >> SHE ORDERED OVER $400,000 WORTH OF HANDBAGS, AND PURPOSELY PUT IN THE WRONG ADDRESS JUST SO SHE COULD CALL AND CHAT. >> OH, DID I SAY RED HOUSE? I MEANT WHITE HOUSE. >> SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS OFTEN CRITICIZED FOR MOTT DOING ENOUGH TO PREVENT BULLYING. >> IF DONALD IS BULLY, AND I AM MARRIED TO DONALD, AM I HELPING BULLY? >> I RELATED TO HER CAUSE BECAUSE I STRUGGLED WITH THAT PROBLEM MYSELF. WE ARE BOTH STARING AT THE WORLD FROM THE OUTSIDE, AS IF THROUGH A SHEET OF GLASS. >> IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS JOB, WHY DON'T YOU QUIT? >> BECAUSE THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY. >> YOU ARE VERY INTERESTING MAN. >> SHE TOLD ME THAT SOME TIME AGO SHE FOUND A SPIDER IN A BOUQUET. SHE GASPED, BUT WHEN THE MAID ASKED HER IF EVERYTHING WAS OKAY, SHE ANSWERED YES. MELANIA FEARED THAT THE MAID WOULD SQUASH THE SPIDER SO SHE SPARED THE INSECT WITH HER SILENCE, AND EVEN KEPT IT SAFE IN A BOX UNDER HER BED. >> WHEN I FIRST TALKED TO YOU, I THOUGHT HE IS MY NEW SPIDER, BUT I WAS WRONG. I AM YOUR SPIDER. >> OUR CONVERSATIONS DWINDLED AFTER THAT. SHE PROBABLY GOT VERY BUSY BEING THE FIRST LADY WITH AND ALL. AND I MOVED ON LIVING MY LIFE. >> FOR THE ERROR THAT WE HAVE MADE. AND WE -- >> BULLY. BULLY. STOP THAT. BULLY. HELLO. I'M MELANIA, THE WOMAN YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE. >> YEAH. I KNOW. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. >> FOR WHAT? >> FOR LISTENING. I SHOULD GO, BEFORE THEY FIND OUT THIS I'M NOT A SLEEP. >> WE NEVER SPOKE AGAIN, BUT I THINK OF HER OFTEN THANKS TO A LITTLE GIFT I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL ONE DAY. ♪♪♪

This was absurd, silly, and completely bonkers...but it was so very sweet and melancholic... I loved it.

Every once in a while SNL transcends expectations.
