The premise
Here’s the bit.
A woman in a Marilyn Monroe costume wakes beside a motionless man dressed as John F. Kennedy. She nervously examines herself, the unfamiliar room and her companion before calling a friend to ask what happened at the parties they attended. While she is away, the man wakes and conducts his own anxious inspection of his body and belongings. They put their costumes back in order and attempt a polite farewell, slipping into the presidential and movie-star personas suggested by their outfits. The parting becomes more awkward when he confuses her Marilyn costume with Madonna.

Oh, thank God I still have my spleen.
You're supposed to be Madonna, right?
