But i-- i don't-- He's-- he's gay! He's gay? Well, Don't tell dana carvey, 'Cause you know what? He'll do an impression of him.
Well, okay.
Let me Ask you a question.
How would you feel If beverly was a gay? A gay? What are you? Italian? You know, look At the bright side.
Maybe this will be Your first chance To fuck your assistant.
[Laughs.]
Come on.
Come on.
No, i-- i got to let him go.
You cannot fire this boy Because he's gay, hank.
We'd have a lawsuit.
If you want to fire him, You'd better find A damn good reason.
I have a good reason.
There was not one indication On that resume That he was gay.
Not-- not-- not one.
Barbara streisand.
Aw.
Aw, shit.
Do you know where i found This message slip? Hank, i don't even-- In larry's slot.
In larry's slot.
Now i'm going to be wondering All the time, "What else is waiting for me In larry's slot?" I-- i can't work This way.
Hank, i don't even Remember him calling-- And i wish to god It stopped there.
But, uh, what is this? Hello? What is this? Aloe vera.
Uh-huh.
And, uh, What did i ask for? Aloe vera.
Yes, i asked for lanolin.
I asked for lanolin.
Darlene was with me For six years.
She never did this.
Hank, you asked for aloe vera.
See, that's the attitude That i cannot take.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
It's obvious this-- This is not working out.
So i would appreciate it If you would just finish out The day and go.
So this has nothing to do With me being gay, does it? Oh, come on, mister.
Come on.
So it's the aloe vera.
'Cause i can certainly see How that would be The last straw.
You see? There it is again.
There's that attitude thing Again.
Listen, my friend.
I am a supporter Of the gay community.
I wore a red ribbon To the emmys.
I have been To several elton john concerts.
What does that mean? Elton john Is a gay.
[Dana carvey whining.]
Is my hair too big? What is it? I mean, My god, look at my hair.
Does my ass look any fatter In these pants or what? I mean, look at my ass.
I'm touching my ass.
Um, i'm going to go Get your fruit.
Okay, that's-- So, i guess you're Going to do it, huh? Well, yeah.
Good.
Good.
Well, now that you've Kind of seen it, Does it bother you, Honestly? Same disguise i think Michael jackson wears When he goes To disneyland, isn't it? It's a bit Over the top, yes.
But that's how i do These things.
You know, my hope is that it's So abstract, so cartoony, That it wouldn't be Offensive to, you know-- I mean, like, well, George bush is just like [Imitating bush.]
Not going do it-- You know, i mean, And if you've seen me do Jay leno, i become [High voice.]
Yeah, it's like-- And you are just [Whining, mumbling.]
So that's my hope.
So you're all right? Is it all right? Tch.
Ha It bothers you.
Do you have to do The teeth, you think? I mean, that's up to you.
It's great.
I'm just kidding.
The teeth are the best part.

I mean, it is funny stuff.
And around 1:00 on tnt, I mean, you can watch flipper, Which is a good show 'Cause that's a smart fish.
I swear to god.
I wish I had him in my cabinet.
If there's dynamite In an underwater mine, Flipper will tell you Five times out of seven.
People say i flip-flop, And i don't.
But then again, i do.
[Laughter.]
Well, they're all gone.
So the grumpy old man Is just lionel barrymore Being abstract.
Now monty python Did that bit about [British accent.]
Our life was so hard We were like-- we were In a paper bag.
When we grew up, We ate dirt.
And they'd compete For who had the worst childhood.
Well, i thought it would Be neat to have a character Who actually liked The hideousness of his past.
That's the grumpy old man.
[Old man voice.]
Things were great When i was young.
I loved it.
God loved it.
In my day, we didn't have Safety belts to restrain you.
If you hit something And stopped suddenly, You knew where you were going-- Straight through the windshield.
Splat.
You were dead, And you loved it.
Whoopee.
I'm a mass Of bleeding bones In a highway, And i love it.
In my day, we didn't have Flame-retardant sleepwear.
If you went to bed smoking, You woke up engulfed in flames.
Whoopidy-doo, i'm on fire, And i love it.
I'm a bleeding, flaming corpse, And god, i love it so.
As god as my witness, I'm in heaven as i flame up In a bleeding kind of way.
Oh! Wait.
I have more.
You want to do more? I'll do more.
We're running out of time.
We're running Out of time? Okay.
Uh, why don't you Come back sometime? I hope you will.
Of course i will.
Okay, but dana carvey, He's been great.
And we'll be right back With the raspyni brothers.
Why didn't you do The impression? Well-- I was shocked.
I thought you were going To do the impression of me.
No, i could tell That bothered you.
Oh, no, no, no, i loved it.
I was hoping you were Going to do it.
I thing it would've been A great topper To what went on tonight.
No, i could tell You hated it.
The only problem was, you know, I was under the impression That i was supposed to do it, And it was a bit of a hassle Getting the wig And the teeth.
It was expensive.
I'm sorry.
That's all right.
You'll have the money back At the poker game tonight.
I can't make the poker game.
My son's got an ear infection.
He might be up tonight.
I should be home.
You love the poker games.
You're mad, aren't you? No, no, no, he has An ear infection.
I'm not mad.
You're mad because You think i didn't let you Do the impression.
No.
Let it out.
You're Holding your anger in.
This is weird.
That's crazy.
I'm not mad.
Just tell me.
Get it out.
[German accent.]
Why should i be mad? I have many arrows In my comedic arsenal, larry.
Let's put the larry sanders Arrow back in the sheath And pull out The jimmy stewart arrow.

[Imitating jimmy stewart.]
Bull's-eye! There's your anger.
You're an asshole.
Bring the water.
Water, please? The water.

Well, the top is on.
You want the truth? What's really pissing me off Is that your staff said come out And do larry sanders.
He'll love it.
Then i get out here.
You're obviously saying, "Don't do it," Which you wouldn't tell me.
Now you're saying, "Why didn't you do it?" And that does piss me off.
Other than that-- I love you.
Okay.
I'll never do it again.
I don't fucking Believe larry.
What do you mean? Well, he's so vain.
He won't let carvey do That great impression of him.
I don't blame him.
If i was larry, I'd take That little dana carvey And i'd dry-shave him With a flicker.
What are you talking about? Just because larry Has his own show Doesn't mean he's not A human being.
How would you feel, phil, If one of your friends Wanted to make you look Like a sniveling, annoying fool On national television? Man: back in 40 seconds.
I mean, dana carvey obviously Hurt him with that impression.
He did.
Thank you.
Very refreshing.
Beverly: Good show, larry.
Larry, i think you were Absolutely right In not letting carvey Do that impression of you.
Really? Oh, absolutely.
He's supposed to be A friend of yours.
He should know better.
He should know That something like that Would hurt your feelings.
That's what i thought.
I think you should dry shave That little fucker With a flicker.
Right, that's exactly right.
What's a flicker? I-- Listen, what are you Doing later? Nothing.
I'm not doing anything.
Really? Hey, well, why don't You come along? We're going to play Some poker later With some of the guys.
Would you like to play? I would love to play.
Uh, you might have to refresh My memory on some of the rules.
Ah, well, just bring Your money.
Okay.
All right? All right.
Where do you think You're going, Mr.
Hank kingsley's Permanent assistant? I thought you were uncomfortable With me being gay.
