Artie thinks i'm booking Too many of your clients.
What the fuck is that? I've got good clients.
I tried to explain to him It had nothing to do With our relationship.
Of course It doesn't.
You know, that guy Is fucking paranoid.
That's just the kind Of hollywood bullshit That makes me want To chuck it all [Telephone rings.]
And join The peace corps.
Yeah? Big bad ron, You piece of shit! How's it going? Oh, fuck you, asshole.
We've received A substantial number Of faxes and letters From the Anti-defamation league Protesting this segment That you're doing With peng lee.
Look, here's What i don't get.
Letterman can send Around the world And we can't send One chinese guy To the movies? Indians do not watch television As much as asians do, larry.
And besides, The asian community Is much more organized And vocal.
Well, how does leno Get away with it? He keeps putting on Those damn ito dancers.
That's a-- a parody of An asian-american judge, Prancing around With twinkle-toed Dinner theater rejects.
Oh, and by, dennis, By twinkle-toed, I imply nothing About their sexuality.
Well, it doesn't Make sense to me Because, i mean, The piece is Unwritten.
That's the way He talks.
I mean, that's The way i talk, That's the way He talks.
Let me clarify that.
This bit is Unscripted chatter From a charming Chinese man.
And by the way, His restaurant has Never done better.
That's right.
I mean, he should Really be thanking us.
I had his Sweet and sour chicken The other day, It was like hot pink.
I think it's cough syrup.
I swear to god.
Oh, come on, people.
You know, in my day We had amos and andy.
We had josé jimenez.
José jimenez was The first hispanic In space.
Kids looked up to him.
Well, he didn't Actually go into space.
That was just an act.
Well, i believed it.
So it was not only funny, But it was inspirational As well.
Look, larry, Let's be clear here.
We are not forcing you To do anything.
We just strongly urge you To discontinue the piece.
And if i don't? Well, then, you'll have A lot of screaming japs Picketing outside The studio.
Screaming Asian-americans.
Hey, phil Hey, great shirt! Where'd you get that? Oh, thanks.
I think i got it at-- Do you have a 20? [Sighs.]
Hank, the last time I loaned you money, It took you like a month To pay it back.
I know, and you know What happened? I sent brian To the bank With my atm card, But i don't know What happened To him.
He probably got Sucked into some Kind of parade.
Well, can't you just Wait for him to get back? No, i-- i can't.
I got the Delivery guy From peng's place.
I ordered the sweet And sour chicken.
It's incredible.
You ever had it? It cured my cold.
Well, here you go.
Listen, can i get that back At the end of the day? I don't even know why You go out with the guy, Paula.
I just do.
I like him.
I know you don't 'Cause you think he's Rude on the phone.
Yes, he is.
Because i have a name And he never uses it.
Who, larry? No, that stevie.
Ah.
What, is he only Taking 10% of your love? I don't want to Discuss this with you.
Oh, there's trouble In paradise.
So, is he running From commitment? Are you making fun Of me? No, i'm not.
Are you running From commitment? You're making fun Of me.
No.
I just want to Make sure that he's Meeting your needs.
