Jeez.
What are you doing in there? - What in the world was that? - What? What, do you got Seabiscuit in there with you? - What? - That was crazy.
- Oh, yeah.
- I never heard a a stream like that.
Yeah, I'm taking this new pill.
That is, like, not human, that sound.
It's got some backsplash too.
I gotta be careful.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
All right, so anyway, it seems like Meg Ryan is just not gonna work, because her schedule is too busy - and we're not gonna get her.
- Work? Work for what? For George's ex-wife.
But Lisa Kudrow I think would also be great.
- She's a great actress.
- Great actress.
But I think you want I think you want to go with an unknown for this part.
- Why? - Because you believe that it's real.
What's real got to do with what we do? Well, when George's ex-wife calls him from the plane, right? And, uh he's got the TIVO guy there - Mm-hmm? that happened to me - with Cheryl.
- Uh-huh.
Cheryl should play this part.
Cheryl! Maybe somebody that looks like Cheryl, that's an idea.
- No, but she - What about Renee Zellweger? But Cheryl, she's unknown and she lived this part.
- And she's an actress! - So the person that it happens to - is the best actor? - What else do you want? You think Nixon could have been Nixon in "Frost/Nixon"? - Nixon's not an actor.
- Neither is Cheryl.
- She is.
- All right, let's have her read.
She can read.
Maybe she'll get it.
- I'm open to it.
- You're open to it.
- Yes.
- Hey, guys, here's the latest scripts.
- There you go.
- Thank you very much.
And, oh! Reminder you have lunch with Richard Lewis, - both of you.
- Okay, thanks.
What is that? Yeah, that air conditioner is I don't know.
- It's making noise up there.
- Oh, I'll get it.
Oh, here we go.
Don't worry about it.
I used to do this for my mom all the time.
Oh, yep, hang on.
There we go.
It smells like a rattlesnake is in there.
Oh, there - Does that sound better? - Yeah, it's a little better.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
There we go.
All right, you guys need anything else? - Are you good? - No, we're good.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
- Okay, thanks, Maureen.
- Yeah.
I can't take it anymore.
- How can she walk around like that? - Every day.
Every day, every day.
We have to make a change.
We can't.
Julia got her the job.
We can't fire her.
- We have to talk to her.
- Oh, okay.
You need to talk to her about her clothing.
- L I can't do that.
- What are you talking about? I can't I can't do it.
Why not? - I don't want to.
- Do you think I want to? - I don't want to.
- You have to.
- I have to? - Yes.
Are you crazy? You do it.
No, but you it's the kind of thing you do so well.
- I do well? - Yes! Are you nuts? This is your forte.
- No no no no no.
- Yes yes yes.
You're smart and eloquent, that's what you are.
This is not a call for eloquence.
This is a call for charm, for, you know, lightness and breeziness.
That's you.
You're really the boss.
You're the star of the show.
She'd really respect it coming from you.
I'm white glove.
White gloves, Larry.
I don't do those things.
When we did the show, you were the one who did this stuff.
Remember the cook? How you told her she was using too much mayonnaise? - You did that! - I know.
And she came back the next day duly chastened, fixed the tuna, fixed the egg salad.
I know, but mayonnaise is not personal.
The mayonnaise is as personal to the chef as her flabby stomach is to her.
So how are we gonna decide who's I'm not doing it.
We'll choose.
- Odds even.
- One takes.
- One takes.
- What do you got? - Odds.
- You got odds? - I got evens.
- Okay.
- One two three - Shoot! I win.
Do it.
Okay, thank you.
Bye.
- Hey, Larry.
- Hey.
- What's going on? - Not too much.
- Yeah? - Jerry and I were just talking.
Mm-hmm.
And we kind of have a little bit of a problem Oh no.
with the, uh the bare midriff.
What with my shirt? This is all exposed and the stomach if it's not too much trouble - Uh-huh.
maybe you could wear longer shirts? - What do you think? - Okay.
- I see, okay.
- What? It's because I'm a woman.
I understand.
- No! - I didn't think you were like that, - but I guess you are.
- I'm not like that! No, I'm not.
Because if a man was wearing this, you wouldn't go and say anything to him.
Even if it was a man, I wouldn't want to see that.
"That"? What is "that," Larry? Well, that.
You know.
- Why do you keep doing this? - Do I? - Yes.
- Oh.
- Um, I don't know.
- What is the problem, Larry? - Are you offended by my body? - Not at all, not at all! But it's not really appropriate attire for an office.
Okay, so you want me to wear, like, a burka? Not a burka, but something in-between this and a burka.
Do you know that I have lost 68 lbs in two years? - That is fantastic.
- Thank you.
- I'm so happy for you.
- I'm very proud of it and I want to flaunt what I've got.
You can flaunt 2/3 of the day outside of the office.
And then you got 1/3 non-flaunt.
Do you have to flaunt 24 hours? Why not take a break in the flaunt? Why would I need to take a break in the flaunt? There's something about being a little mysterious "Oooh, what's under that? Hey, look at that woman.
What has she got under there? - What's going on with that one?" - You know what, Larry? I don't need this, okay? I quit.
I'm sorry.
- You're gonna quit? - Yeah, I can't do it, Larry.
- I won't do this stuff for you anymore.
- No, I understand.
- I completely understand.
- I'm not going on vitamin runs.
- I won't go buy your socks anymore.
- Yeah, I'll buy my own socks.
That's fucking ridiculous.
I'm out of here.
- Seriously? - Yes, I'm gone, Larry! Done! I cannot believe she's gone.
I thought maybe she would change what she wore.
But I never thought we could be done with her completely.
But isn't that really why you sent me in? I mean, were you thinking of it somewhere in the back of your mind? - I was hoping, yeah.
I was thinking - That I would mishandle that, - it would lead to something terrible? - I thought, "This bulvan will walk in there and in two minutes she'll be out in a huff.
" That's what I thought.
Hey, come on, man! - Just pulling out like that! - Idiot! What's he doing? You got something you want to say to me, cuntface? - Huh? - Hey, look, I'm sorry.
I didn't see you pull out.
I'm sorry.
Learn to fucking drive, you fuck! - Honking's very dangerous.
- Yeah.
I try never to honk.
Only in dire emergencies.
So you just wait if someone's in front of you, the light has turned - Yeah.
Yeah.
- Nothing? Sit behind them and wait? - Can you do a little huh? - The gentle honk? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
- The throat clear.
- The most I could do - is a gentle honk.
- Exactly.
- "Hello, excuse me.
" - Do you have that technique? - I do a great excuse me.
- It's a language.
- It's a lang absolutely.
- Yeah.
- By the way.
- What? How many napkins does a person need to get through a sandwich? I don't know.
I use a lot of napkins.
- Always.
Every meal.
- You should bring a bath towel to eat.
That's what you should bring.
- Hey, guys, I'm so - Hey! - Hey hey, man, good to see you.

- You should you know.
- What? No, you.
What's going on? Can I sit down? Come on, scootch over.
How many years you guys you know this guy? You're close friends.
Right, I know him longer so he should sit over there, because I'm actually gonna be talking to him more than you so I should have eye contact with him as opposed to turning around and straining my neck.
You know, I'm a lefty.
I can't It'll be to your right.
It works to your advantage.
Look, the only reason you want me to slide over is because you want - the luxury suite.
- Of course I want the luxury suite.
- You want the luxury suite too.
- Yes, I do.
You're right, you're right, I do.
But you - Hey, where'd he go? - Oh my God.
- What the hell? - I'm fucking angry at you.
Hi, guys.

- I thought I'd come by and say hi.
- Hi, Cheryl.
Jerry, I wanted to thank you so much.
- Oh.
- This is gonna be so great.
Thank you for giving me the part in the "Seinfeld" reunion.
- The? - The part on the reunion show? - You know.
- Oh.
- So - I am so excited about it - and I wanted to thank you personally.
- Oh, well, I'm l I can't believe it.
- I can't either! - Why don't I'll go meet you upstairs.
- Okay.
- All right.
I'll see you upstairs.
Go why don't you go up? All right.
- I'll see you later.
- Okay.
- I got an odd, um - No.
- Vibe from him.
No? No.
You know, the only thing is you prob um you're kinda gonna have to - audition, yeah.
- I have to audition for this part? - I thought you said I had it.
- No, you do have it.
- You do have it, you know.
- That's why It's like winning an election but waiting to get sworn in.
So the audition is the swearing in.
It's nothing.
- It's a formality.
- Formality, yeah.
- But I have the part? - You just show up and read it, - and, you know, he needs to see that - Read it? - He needs to see that you can read and write, you know, whatever.
- All right, well - All right, so I'll see you, uh you'll call me and tell me.
- Okay.
- Right? When to come in and - Yeah.
for the formality.
- You look good.
- Thank you.
I can't believe that you would have the audacity to even to even broach the subject, - to have the gut okay.
- Well, first of all, I didn't do it.
Excuse me, he did it.
Listen, what is this with Maureen? What what I tried to be very sensitive.
L I did, but she stormed out.
You can't go up to a woman and tell her that her shirt is inappropriate or distracting to you or whatever the hell you said.
It is sexist! - It's completely sexist.
- We would have said that to a man if if there was man flab.
- Yeah.
- A man wouldn't even dress like that.
Women dress like that.
That's the look for the young girls.
- Yeah, for your swinging, sexy LA scene that you live in.
- We don't live in that world.
- What are you talking about? He lives in Los Angeles.
Who do you think you are? He lives in his own mind.
He doesn't know anything about it.
The point is this there's lots of men that we talked about hiring that - we wouldn't hire for various reasons - Absolutely! Yeah, what about the guy we didn't like because he was veiny? - Yeah, there was the veiny guy.
- Yeah.
That first AD from "Evening Shade" had foamy mouth.
- We didn't hire him.
- He was bubbly.
I can't work with somebody who's bubbly.
Guys, I think you've forgotten that Maureen's mother was our nanny for years and years and she helped me with the girls.
Okay, she is very mentally unstable and right now she's going through a very rough time.
All right? Her daughter getting fired or quitting or whatever it is that happened, it's gonna make her she could be, like, suicidal.
- She's suicidal? - Get Maureen back here to work.
- Okay? You've got to do it.
- You should take care of this, Larry.
You should.
You need to drive over there right now.
- That's what you have to do.
- Yeah.
Man.
- So Jerry and I talked, and - Mm-hmm.
- We want you to come back.
Want you back.
You want me to come back? Yeah.
Well, the whole reason was because you weren't okay with this shirt.
Honestly, I don't even know what I was thinking about.
I'm fine with the shirt.
I'm fine with the whole thing.
- The whole the whole - What do you mean the whole thing? - All the whole - What is this whole thing? You know, whatever's happening there, I'm fine with it.
My stomach? What does that mean? You know, the protuberance and the whole all of it.
- So we're good? - I mean It's a simple thing, Larry.
- Perfect world? - Okay.
Maybe an inch further down, cover up the belly button.
That's all.
Perfect world, perfect world! I'd cover that little thing there, the little belly button.
An inch lower.
You know, but belly button or no belly button, we want you to come back.
- Okay.
- Good.

- You look exactly like him.
Wh what wh what happened to him? Oh, it happened so fast.

It was our wedding day.
We were driving down to Mexico for our honeymoon That's all I care about.
Ohhh.
- Happy, baby? - I'm so happy.
You ever think you'd get a guy like me? No.

Yeah.
Are you looking forward to the sex later? Well, I have to admit that I have been fantasizing a little.
- I have a confession to make.

- It is.
- You can't honk anymore! - Oh, no no.

No honking, no shushing.
That sound shh-shh, you know.

I'm gonna show you a picture of Tom.
Because you're not going to believe.
It's uncanny.

- What? - He doesn't look anything like me.
- Honestly.
- Look, the the the hair, the glasses, everything.
- It's the same.
Confirm it.
- All bald people do not look alike.

I'm standing there like a putz.
You don't even you don't even make believe I'm there.
What am I, Marley's ghost? I am so sorry.
You're so right.
I was completely in the wrong there and I truly apologize.
I'll tell you why I felt even doubly shitty, because I went to a memorabilia show the other day and I bought you a present.
Guess what a Joe DiMaggio bat that he signed that he used in a World Series game.
- Oh my God, that's so sweet.
- That's right.
- And I was gonna give it to you.
- Oh, that's so sweet of you.

" In that register? That "all right!" - Yeah, I think there was.
- That one? That's half a goodbye.
- Right, it's over.
- You don't need the goodbye.
- Yeah.
- Hey, guys, - can I talk to you for a second? - Oh, sure, Maureen.
Um oh, gosh, uh - Are you all right? - I'm actually the best I've ever been - in my life.
- Oh, wow.

- Really? - Yeah.
'Cause my whole life has changed.
Yesterday it was actually right after you left, a miracle happened.
I went into the bathroom and I called my mother in because there is a painting hanging up of Jesus.
It's beautiful.
And he's got a tear coming down on his face.
- Really? - A real tear that was never there before.
- Wow.
- Can you believe that? - That's odd.
- It's a miracle! - He chose us.
- Are you sure it wasn't you know, water? No no, it was at eye level.
It was there's no way water could get up there.
Have you ever witnessed a miracle like that? - No.

Anyway, I'm sad to tell you guys this, but I I have to quit.
- What? - Ohh! - I'm sorry, you guys.
- Oooh.
It's just my mother and I decided after seeing it we can't just keep it to ourselves, you know? We're going to go and buy an RV and tour the country and show the whole country our miracle.

- That's wonderful.
And we can't just keep it to ourselves.
