I don't want To be cruel, But how long Does it take To get yogurt? Uh, humphrey "yogart" Is right around the corner.
Larry: That's what I thought.
Well, maybe he went To "this can't be Yogurt.
" Where's that? It's right near "What is this, yogurt?" You know, i don't care If he goes to "Hey, that's my asshole.
" I just want Some yogurt.
Is that Asking too much? Larry, the boy has A bad attitude.
Yeah, well, I don't think This is gonna Work out.

Son, i think You screwed up the yogurt, But that's all right.
Everyone screws up The yogurt.
I used to screw it up Back when it was ice cream, And my car smelled Like rotten milk, But that's show biz.
My solution was a cooler For the backseat.
I'll get you one, My treat.
Arthur, you put That cooler in my car.
That's all show business Bullshit.
What i'd really like to do Is work for ups.
United parcel service? That's cool.
Ups is great.
You get to wear shorts, Drive around with The door open.
It's perfect in this Fucking heat.
Cully? Oh, there you are.

Oh! About the car? Naw, no.
I've forgotten about that.
How long did you Wait before you Finally gave up? Oh, well, let's see.
