I'm sorry.
Tell me, has larry ever been Romantically involved With any guests? What the fuck kind Of question is that? My editor put it on here.
You're right.

skin deep was A very good movie.
It did extremely well In europe.

Then i turn on my tv And hear you say That i seemed Distracted By what was Going on around me During the making Of the movie, That i became A bore after a while.
I don't need that.
I think those were The exact words i used.

Hank needs his midshow Water bottle at 6:04.
He's friendly, Right? Hollywood Misses the boat By not filming Good love stories.
Because Were i dating, I would look In the paper And take a woman To see free willy, And i'd nudge her When he comes heaving Out of the water-- See if she Gets the hint.
[Dog barks.]
[Phil cries out.]
Son of a-- Ah, now You little son of a bitch! [Barking.]
Artie, this goddamn Dog bit me.
Darlene, come back here.

Just some Puncture wounds.
No stitches necessary.
We'll get you A tetanus shot Right after the show.
Right now, i want you To go into my office.
Top left-hand drawer.
Bottle of brandy-- Take a big belt, Pour it on that hand, You'll be fine.
But it really hurts.
Oh, stop being Such a fucking baby.
God damn it, phil! So you'll jerk off With the other hand For a few weeks.
Shouldn't he get A tetanus shot? Submit questions In written form.
We'll get to them when we can.
Warren.
Arthur.
Can't wait to hear you Tickle them ivories, dear boy.
Thanks.
Listen, artie, I don't want to Be a prick, But you guys Want me to play werewolves of london tonight.
That's one of larry's Personal favorites.
Every single show i do, I play it.
It's driving me Fucking crazy.
What about Your first album, french connection? the french inhaler? Yeah.
That's the one.
Is that under Four minutes? I'll play fast.
Anything but werewolves.
O.
K.
You got it.
Thanks, artie.
Fucking musicians.
I think the test Of a good thriller Is how good The villain is.
If you think about The james bond films, He is constant, But you like Goldfinger.
He was The best villain.
So, malkovich is Critically important.
At the same time, Eastwood is a really fine Minimalist actor.
In the scene On the capitol-- Or the lincoln memorial-- Where he's coming on to-- Rene russo.
Exactly right.
You know, maybe I could be roger.
Maybe i could take Roger's place.
Well, gene, thanks For being here.
Just terrific tonight.
I wish you could stay, But i know you have A plane back to chicago.
So, thank you.
See you soon.
And stay tuned, We'll be right back.

We all thank you.
Until next time.
Thank you, arthur, Any time you want me.
How about Tomorrow night? Great.
Um Who was that? It was nothing.
What do you mean? Well, it was phil.
Well, what happened? He shut his hand In the door.
He shut his hand In the door? Yes.
How did that happen? He put a hand up on a hinge And closed the door.
Well, no, it sounded like It was this door right here.
It was his thumb In the door.
I have a bone To pick with you.
Really? Yeah.
I went to see the crying game Because you gave it Such a big rave.
It's a great film.
Yeah.
Um, what's all The hoopla about? Because there's Supposed to be this, Uh, fantastic plot twist, And frankly, i just-- I didn't see it.
You're kidding.
No.
No.
You're not kidding.
Hank, stephen rea's Character Stephen-- The woman he falls In love with.
That dark-skinned cutie? Mm-hmm.
She turns out To be a man.
I don't think so.
Hank, there's A shot in the film-- The camera pans Down the body, Right below the waist-- Yes? There's a penis.
I don't think so.
We should Have a policy Against opening Or closing doors During the show-- Absolutely-- Because see, That interview was-- I'll prepare a memo.
Good.
I'll send it out tonight-- Immediately.
O.
K.
Thank you.
Let me ask you A question.
How was she hung? You know, you've Got to excuse hank.
It's been years Since he's seen A movie Without The words "busty" Or "stewardess" In the title.
This is a little awkward, But we're back in Four seconds, so-- [Gene.]

Because Were i dating, I would look In the paper And take a woman To see free willy, And i'd nudge her When he comes heaving Out of the water-- See if she Gets the hint.
[Dog barks.]
[Phil cries out.]
Son of a-- Ah, now You little son of a bitch! [Barking.]

No stitches necessary.

Top left-hand drawer.
Bottle of brandy-- Take a big belt, Pour it on that hand, You'll be fine.

Is that under Four minutes? I'll play fast.
Anything but werewolves.
O.
K.
You got it.
Thanks, artie.
Fucking musicians.
I think the test Of a good thriller Is how good The villain is.
If you think about The james bond films, He is constant, But you like Goldfinger.
He was The best villain.
So, malkovich is Critically important.
At the same time, Eastwood is a really fine Minimalist actor.
In the scene On the capitol-- Or the lincoln memorial-- Where he's coming on to-- Rene russo.
Exactly right.
You know, maybe I could be roger.
Maybe i could take Roger's place.
Well, gene, thanks For being here.
Just terrific tonight.
I wish you could stay, But i know you have A plane back to chicago.
So, thank you.
See you soon.

Well, what happened? He shut his hand In the door.
He shut his hand In the door? Yes.
How did that happen? He put a hand up on a hinge And closed the door.
Well, no, it sounded like It was this door right here.
It was his thumb In the door.
I have a bone To pick with you.
Really? Yeah.
I went to see the crying game Because you gave it Such a big rave.
It's a great film.
