The pranksters and Palin discussed such issues as hunting and foreign policy in the six-minute faux interview.

- MA: Oh, it's a pleasure.
- Palin: Thank you, sir. We have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you! And thank you, for taking two minutes to talk to me!
- MA: I followed your campaigns closely with my special American advisor, (unintelligible), you know?
- Palin: Yes! Good!
- MA: Excellent. Are you confident?
- Palin:Very confident, and we're thankful that polls are showing that the race is tightening, and -
- MA: Well I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now, my dear?
- Palin: I feel so good. I feel like we're in a marathon and at the very end of the marathon you get a second wind, and you plow through the finish -
- MA: I got elected in France because I'm real, and you seem to be someone who's real as well.
- Palin: Yes, yeah, I - Nicolas we so appreciate this opportunity -
- MA: You know I see you as president one day, you too.
- Palin: (laughs) Maybe in eight years.
- MA: Well, I hope for you. You know, we have a lot in common, because personally one of my favorite activities is to hunt, too.
- Palin: Oh, very good, we should go hunting together!
- MA: Exactly. We could go try hunting by helicopter like you did, I never did that. Like we say in France, (unintelligible).
- Palin: Well, you and I would have a lot of fun together, while we're getting work done. We could kill two birds with one stone that way.
- MA: I just love killing those animals. Mmm-mm, taking away life, that is so fun.
- Palin: (laughs)
- MA: I'd really love to go, as long as we don't bring Vice President Cheney, ha ha ha.

- MA: Yes. You know we have a lot in common also, except that from my house, I can see Belgium, that's kind of interesting (unintelligible)
- Palin: Well, see, we're all right next door to other countries that we need to be working with, yes.
- MA: Some people said in the last days, and I thought that was mean, that you weren't experienced enough in foreign relations, and you know that's completely false. That's the thing that I said to my great friend the Prime Minister of Canada, Steph Carse.
- Palin: Well, he's doing fine too. And yeah when you come into a position underestimated, it gives you the opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong, you work that much harder -
- MA: I was wondering, because you are so next to him, one of my good friends the Prime Minister of Quebec, Mr. (unintelligible), have you met him recently, did he come to your rallies?
- Palin: I haven't met him at one of the rallies, but it's been great working with the Canadian officials in my role as governor, we have a great cooperative effort there as we work on all of the resource development projects - you know, I look forward to working with you and getting to know you personally and your beautiful wife, oh my goodness. You've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours.
- MA: Thank you very much. You know my wife, Carla, would love to meet you. Even though she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today, ha ha ha ha.
- Palin. Well give her a big hug from me.
- MA: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model, and she's so hot in bed, she even wrote a song for you.
- Palin: Oh my goodness! I didn't know that.
- MA: Yes In French it's called "De rouge a levre sur un cochon" or if you prefer in English "Joe the plumber: It's his life, Joe the plumber."
- Palin: Maybe she understands some of the unfair criticism, but I bet she's such a hard worker too, and she realizes you just plow through that criticism -
- MA: I want to be sure, I don't quite understand the phenomenon "Joe the plumber" - that's not your husband, right?
- Palin: That's not my husband, but he's a normal American who just works hard and doesn't want government to take his money.
- MA: Yes, yes, I understand, we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit
- Palin: Right, that's what it's all about. It's the middle class, and government needing to work with them. You're a very good example for us here.
- MA: I seen a bit about NBC, even Fox News wasn't an ally about as much as usual.
- Palin: Yeah, that's what we're up against.
- MA: I must say, Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know, Hustler's Nailin' Paylin?
- Palin: Oh, good. Thank you. Yes.
- MA: That was really edgy.
- Palin: Well, good.
- MA: I really loved you. And I must say something also, governor. (Normal voice.) You've been pranked by the Masked Avengers. We are two comedians from Montreal.
- Palin: (long pause) Oh. Have we been pranked? What radio station is this?
- MA: This is for CKOI in Montreal.
- Palin: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters.
- MA: CKO - hello?
- Palin: (silence)
- MA: If one voice can change the world for Obama, one (unintelligible) can change the world for McCain.
- New Voice (Bexy?): I'm sorry, uh...I have to let you go. Thank you.
