It's almost time for dinner. I can't 86 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: tell you how many times I've said things like that 87 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: to my husband. 88 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: Were you going to snack? 89 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 4: Now? 90 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: I just cooked and made this whole thing? 91 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 4: And he's he's obviously notorious for doing it because we 92 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 4: kind of touch on that this season too, exactly. And 93 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 4: this is an interesting concept. She didn't cook. 94 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: They're going to go out to dinner, but she wants 95 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: to stop and have a drink first. 96 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: An that's an interesting concept. 97 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 3: It is because with that's what I'm saying. 98 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: Way more than I This is my. 99 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 3: Point, Jeff, Men and women see it differently. 100 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: That's why it's interesting. 101 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: Cheryl's reasoning is it's a different atmosphere. Larry doesn't get it. 102 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 5: I don't understand that it's a different atmosphere. I thought, 103 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 5: But it's the drink, isn't it. They have the drink 104 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 5: at the restaurant. What's the difference with the atmosphere is 105 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 5: don't you want to eat? 106 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: I do want to eat, but I would like to 107 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 2: sit there and have a drink and socialize and not 108 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: have food. 109 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 5: Just sit there and have a drink, knowing that you're 110 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 5: going to be that you want to leave to eat 111 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 5: when you're thinking about food. How can you sit in 112 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 5: the rocks and have a drink? 113 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: It just doesn't you know? 114 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: And then you wrote for many men in that moment. 115 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: I understand that there's a battle of the sexes. I 116 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: think to me, you go, you have a drink by 117 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: the ocean, and you sit and you relax, and you 118 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: create intimacy. 119 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: On the second here, all you're creating is whether you parked, 120 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: what space you get, and you do it twice to 121 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 2: valets to the whole time. 122 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: Understand your point, it's exhausting, No, but I understand Cheryl's point. 123 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: And I understand Cheryl's point more than I understand Larry's point. 124 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: That's why I think I knew you would have loved that. 125 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: I enjoyed it because I was totally on Larry's side 126 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: for sure. 127 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: And then she's like, well, we'll just get take out, 128 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: you know, she's frustrated, and they go to get take 129 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: out from the Chinese place, Kung Pao, whatever it's called. 130 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: Just like the Paramount Theater, the early seasons especially.

Also, clearly Larry's order in Alan Wasserman's order 195 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: got exchanged and Larry's has everything at HBO, this tension 196 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: between them because things did not go well. Larry goes home, 197 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: he's in a bad mood and the president. 198 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: Of HBO was there. 199 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: He got out of his special and Sarah charl says 200 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: to him, why did you make up a lie about 201 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: your stepfather? Cheryl's always asking the obvious questions about why 202 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: did you act like such a fucking idiot? Basically is 203 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: what she's always saying. And Larry says it was awkward 204 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: because he says it was a lie, you would be 205 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: believed because he was about down rather. 206 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 3: Then he opens up the Kung pao shrimp with. 207 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: All the shrimp. 208 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 3: It's only three shrimp and that giant container. Yeah, three shrimp, 209 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: it's usually more than that, like ten. 210 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 5: Well you can have him. 211 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: Did he take the shrimp? 212 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 5: I'll bet he took the shrimp? Wasserman, Yeah, he was 213 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 5: probably hungry. He got the container, he knew, he saw 214 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 5: it wasn't his food, and he ate shrimp and then 215 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 5: brought it back. Would he really do something like that, though, Well, 216 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 5: what do you mean when he really there's three shrimp 217 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 5: in there? 218 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: And sees there's only three shrimp in there, and there's 219 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: usually ten. 220 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 3: And then he starts to did he take the shrimp? 221 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: He ate the shrimp and brought it back, And that's 222 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: when Cheryl's like, look, she's grossed out if he ate 223 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: out of that cart, which I totally agree with her 224 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: the whole note notion. It takes the food and he 225 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: returns it. Then they meet They meet Julia clearly at 226 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: her office, which again this has been a theme that's 227 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: been going on for several episodes. So he meets Julia 228 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: and is it back and forth about whose office is 229 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: going to be at? 230 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 3: And he said, we'll just do fourth. We don't need back, 231 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: we'll just do forth. 232 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: And Julia says, you've turned into a nice man all 233 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden. 234 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: I loved that lie. Yeah, and then Larry pitches the 235 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 3: idea off. 236 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 2: Westwood between Olympic and Pico keep going and Larry remember 237 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 2: every one of those locations. 238 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: It's like an idiot savant thing you have going on. 239 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: I am an idiot, ye, So Larry skills but comedy. 240 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: Larry pitches the idea that he had previously pitched to Jason, 241 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: but he dunked Jason because Jason wouldn't come to his 242 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: office about you know how she grows to. 243 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 3: Hate Evelyn, aren't you Evelyn? 244 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: And Julia loves the idea, but says it might be 245 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: better suited for Jason, because you know, Jason played such 246 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: an idiot on the show. And this again is a 247 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: theme that was going on with Jason had talked about this. 248 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 3: I played the schmuck. I play the idiot. 249 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: But by the way, the way Larry pitches it is 250 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: the way you should pitch. What I mean by that 251 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 2: he is completely succinct. He gives the overall idea and 252 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: he's done within two minutes. He's done, and he's open 253 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: for questions. And yes, I do copy him. And the 254 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: times that I haven't copied him with a group of 255 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: people where it becomes a whole thing. One's pleasant. They 256 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: see a million people a day. Why don't they want 257 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: a two minute pitch? Makes it easy? 258 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, the elevator pitch as they say, boom yeah. And 259 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: Larry is disparaging towards Jason. This is all he could do, 260 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: basically said, I love that. And Julia wants to pitch 261 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: it to HBO because she wants to say fucking cocksucker, 262 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: and who could blame her? 263 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: And I also say something here, she says that, And yes, 264 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 2: at that time. 265 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: That's what I was going for.

We saw Mickey see him, and Mickey 674 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: sees the bruises, and Mickey confronts her and tells her 675 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: that he knows that Larry beats her and Cheryl dances 676 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: her and no, no, he's that patient doctor confidentiality even 677 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: with the dentist, which I found very funny.

And I've kept some stuff, 692 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 2: but most of it. Like there was a charity in 693 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 2: New York where men who don't have a lot of 694 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 2: money are going on job interviews, and I said, and 695 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 2: they need something nice to wear, and I donated it 696 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 2: to that.

Yours you can 702 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:56,239 Speaker 2: see like a football jersey, maybe the Smithsonium eventually, but 703 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 2: I do too. But you could see it on someone's 704 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 2: wall and they're dead because yours are frameable. Mine's just 705 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 2: a big guy suit. I say big guy. Back then, 706 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 2: I was quite the fat guy. 707 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: Oh but I did notice that, by the way, Yeah, 708 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 1: I mean you it's hard not to notice rate now. 709 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 3: I mean you always were. 710 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 2: I looked like the michelin man. 711 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 3: With such a baby face. 712 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 4: Babyface, such a all of you guys, I mean Larry 713 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 4: and Cheryl too. I mean, it's just so funny to 714 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 4: see Cheryl in her kind of like late nineties Cheryl's outfits. 715 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 2: Cheryl was extraordinarily beautiful, especially she is from those early episodes. 716 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 2: You're like, how did you get her? 717 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 4: Well, I do have to say if I was Cheryl's 718 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 4: dentist and I saw what I'd gone on, of course, 719 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 4: and saw the bruise, because it's like a huge I 720 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 4: mean concerned. 721 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: Just seeing the bruise is one thing. Just seeing the 722 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: fake beating is one thing. But the combination of the two, 723 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: you couldn't come to any other conclusion. 724 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 3: It would be like, poor Cheryl, She's she's a victim. 725 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: So then we cut to Larry and Cheryl are out 726 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: to dinner and it's all over at HBO. 727 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 3: They he thinks I'm a wife beater. 728 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: We'll go to ABC and the waiter asks about dessert, 729 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: and Cheryl's like, I will take the bill because let's 730 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: go to Shutters to get dessert. 731 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 3: I love the book end of this. Yeah, it's so classic. 732 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,760 Speaker 1: And again he doesn't get it. We'll go to Shutters, 733 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: get dessert, get a change of scenery. Larry's disturbed. You know, 734 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of an adventure, something new that 735 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: makes complete sense to me. 736 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 2: Let's take a step back. If your partner says he 737 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 2: doesn't like that, doesn't understand it. Do you think when 738 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 2: you asked the second time, he's going to go? You 739 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 2: know you're right. Shutters would be a different scenery. We 740 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 2: can look at the ocean. No, especially Larry, no way. 741 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 2: So I agree with him again. 742 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 3: But Cheryl's annoyed at him. She's annoying point and she 743 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 3: wanted to get. 744 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: Her way, and she wanted to get her way, and 745 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: it happens all the time. And then we see Michael 746 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: comes in and Cheryl wants to just go home. Michael 747 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: comes into the restaurant with clearly a date. Who's a 748 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: man is so he's things out? 749 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 2: Yes, I who played that?

For sure. 821 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 3: I have the funniest memory we were editing. 822 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 4: The pilots at HBO, which was at the end of 823 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:39,760 Speaker 4: the century city. 824 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 2: By the way, it wasn't even like our offices were 825 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 2: above the offices like a secret area, and there were 826 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 2: no windows. 827 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 3: No harless windows. 828 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 4: But I had gone out to get lunch for everybody 829 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 4: and I ran into Cheryl at the Center City mall 830 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 4: and she was walking into Bloomingdale's and I was like, Cheryl, 831 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 4: she was working for Michelle Reiner at the time as 832 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 4: her assistant. She's like, Oh, I'm just returning some things 833 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 4: from Michelle, and I'm like, i've been. We've been like 834 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 4: watching you all day, like you're so great in this pilot, 835 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:10,479 Speaker 4: and she was like. 836 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 2: Really, probably does, by the way, in all sincerity. Now, 837 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 2: by the way, we all thought it was a one off, 838 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 2: and I remember this was a. 839 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,720 Speaker 3: It wasn't even a pilot. It was a special. 840 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 2: But we also shot it and the first season of 841 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 2: Curb Everything in order we didn't come back. We had 842 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 2: to come back to locations because Larry wanted that for 843 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 2: the way he thought of it. And I remember filming 844 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 2: that first scene with Judy Tall and Alan Wasserman in 845 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 2: the HBO offices. We came out of there and we 846 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 2: were in a break and he sits on one of 847 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 2: the desks, empty desk, and he looks at me and 848 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 2: he says, wouldn't this be great as a TV series? 849 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 2: And my inner monologue said Larry David suggesting that we 850 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,240 Speaker 2: do this as a and I go, yeah, it would 851 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:58,240 Speaker 2: be excited, but knowing full well it would never be twenty. 852 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 3: Three years later, Yeah, it's fun. 853 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 2: It's fun. The journey we've had, we because of the 854 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 2: way it went about, we never believed the hype. Ever, 855 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 2: none of us have ever gotten big in our breches 856 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 2: because of and by the way, my attitude is when 857 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 2: I go on a talk show, it's basically they might 858 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 2: as well look at the camera, go we couldn't get 859 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 2: Larry David, So what ladies, and would you please welcome 860 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 2: Jeff Garland.
