BREAKING: Whoopi Goldberg smokes weed. She even smoked it before receiving an Oscar for her performance in Ghost. She describes her ordeal thusly:
“When he (presenter actor Denzel Washington) said my name, and I popped up, and I thought 'Oh, fuck…okay, up the stairs…around to the podium…there's millions of people, get the statue, pick up the statue.'”
We know this thanks to an audio recording of a voice-over session she did in 1993. But IMPOSE has obtained a transcript of what happened in Whoopi's dressing room moments before this hilarious Hollywood anecdote transpired (thank you left-over J. Edgar Hoover wiretaps!)
WHOOPI: *Closes dressing room door* Goddamn, that Mickey Rourke has some busy hands. Now I can get high in peace. *Produces joint* Mmmmmm-hmmmm.
GHOST PATRICK SWAYZE: Whooooooopiiiiiiiiiiii
WHOOPI: *Startled* Patrick! You're a ghost! Just like our–
GHOST SWAYZE: I know, I know.
WHOOPI: But you're not dead, I just saw you a minute ago.
GHOST SWAYZE: Yeah, it's complicated. Listen, you can't smoke that joint.
WHOOPI: Why the hell not? We used to get high all the time on set! Remember that key grip who went down on me while you videotaped the–
GHOST SWAYZE: Yeah, yeah Whoopi I remember.
WHOOPI: And I heard that when making Roadhouse you needed a hit just to fit into those tight ass jeans. All those girls in your trailer, those weird costumes you used to–
GHOST SWAYZE: JESUS WHOOPI! OK I get it, I'm not perfect! Just shut up and hear me out. That joint of sweet, harmless marijuana has grave consequences for us all.
WHOOPI: Explain.
GHOST SWAYZE: Well, for one, in 15 years you're gonna be on a daytime talk show with Barbara Walters.
WHOOPI: Shut the fuck up.
GHOST SWAYZE: Yep. Replacing Rosie O'Donnell.
WHOOPI: *stares at joint* Go on…
GHOST SWAYZE: If you smoke that joint, you'll forever alter the course of the careers of so many of us. For instance, Mickey Rourke? That pus-faced troll outside that's been eating all the beenie weenies at the craft services table? He gets nominated for an Oscar in 2009.
BANGING ON DOOR
MICKEY ROURKE: *Muffled* Aw I knew you were talkin about me Whoop, you know I'm just crazy about you. Just gimme one little hit, please Whoop? Please?
WHOOPI: Are you wearing pants?
LONG PAUSE
MICKEY ROURKE: Yes.
WHOOPI: No dice. Leave me alone.
GHOST SWAYZE: Do you really want that to happen? Do you really want to be in Monkeybone?
WHOOPI: What's Monkeybone?
GHOST SWAYZE: Exactly. Just trust me here, for my sake, for yours: don't smoke that joint.
WHOOPI: Okay! Okay! Just stop fucking haunting me and…I dunno, go back into your body over there or whatever.
GHOST SWAYZE: Thank you! Wheew! You're doing the right thing. I gotta go talk to Charlie Sheen. I gotta bad feeling.
WHOOPI: You do that.
SWAYZE VANISHES
WHOOPI: *Sparks lighter* Sucker. Nice guys always finish last, Patrick.
