THANK YOU FOR COMING TO SEE US!
I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, THESE ARE NICE SUITS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THIS IS A NICE SUIT, TOO.
>> BUT THAT'S A NICER ONE.
>> James: WELL, YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT TO SAY, THESE ARE THE NIGHTS
WHERE I FEEL VERY, VERY LUCKY TO HAVE THIS JOB BECAUSE IF SOMEONE
TOLD ME THIS WAS A DINNER PARTY I WAS INVITED TO TO JUST SIT AND
BE IN THE COMPANY OF YOU TWO FOR ABOUT A MOMENT, I WOULD BE
THRILLED, AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU ARE BOTH THERE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> James: I REALLY AM.
IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME ON THE SHOW, STEVE, THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> James: YOU'RE BOTH HERE.
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT "RESERVOIR DOGS."
WE HAVE TO.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) LOOK AT THESE YOUNG THINGS!
NOW, DO YOU BOTH REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOU MET?
>> I THINK -- WASN'T IT AS HARVEY'S HOUSE, THE HOUSE HE WAS
RENTING?
>> YES.
( LAUGHTER ) CALM DOWN.
>> James: YOU MET AT HARVEY'S HOUSE?
>> HE WAS RENTING A HOUSE IN MALIBU, BUT THE ADDRESS SAID
WHATEVER SUNSET BOULEVARD.
>> James: RIGHT.
I WAS STAYING IN ECHO PARK, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW,
WAS WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN.
I THOUGHT I'M NEAR SUNSET BOULEVARD, I CAN GET THERE IN
TEN MINUTES.
I'M DRIVING, DRIVING, DRIVING.
I'M, LIKE, WHERE IS IT?
I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO A GAS STATION.
THE GENTLEMAN DIDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH THAT WELL AND HE JUST
LOOK AND WENT -- HE JUST KEPT GOING LIKE THIS AND I DROVE FOR,
LIKE, 45 MINUTES IN A PANIC BECAUSE I KNEW I WAS GOING TO BE
LATE.
YOU WERE SO SWEET.
YOU WERE SO SWEET TO ME.
>> I MUST HAVE BEEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE.
>> I'M SURE YOU WERE.
BECAUSE I REMEMBER HARVEY, AT ONE POINT, HARVEY -- THERE WERE
A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT HE DID FOR ME, CARVEY KITEL -- HARVEY
KITEL.
HE HAD A LOT TO DO WITH MY WEDDING.
BUT I REMEMBER SNIGHT THE VAN WITH HIM AND I THINK WE WERE
GOING BACK TO THE HOUSE AND HE STARTED TALKING ABOUT HIS AGE.
HE SAID, I'M LOOKING AT THE BACKDOOR OF MY LIFE, TIM.
HE SAID, I'M LOOKING AT THE END OF MY 50s.
IT WAS THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY THING.
HE WOULD DO THOSE UTTERLY SORT OF DEEP THINGS CONSTANTLY WHILE
WE WERE ALL JUST ( BLEEP ) ABO AND CAUSING TROUBLE, HE WOULD
HAVE -- HE HAD KIND OF A DEEP LINE TO HIM.
I LOVED HIM FOR THAT.
>> James: DID YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WERE SHOOTING "RESERVOIR
DOGS," DID YOU HAVE A FEELING YOU WERE DOING SOMETHING
BRILLIANT ON SET?
>> I FELT LIKE WE WERE DOING SOMETHING AMAZING BUT IT DIDN'T
MEAN IT WOULD TRANSLATE.
I'VE WORKED ON FILMS WHERE I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE GREAT BUT
THEN NOBODY SEES IT.
SO I FELT IT WAS SPECIAL.
I FELT QUENTIN WAS SPECIAL.
I NEVER HAD COME ACROSS SOMEBODY WHO MADE HIS FIRST FILM -- FIRST
OF ALL, HE WAS SO EXCITE AND MADE EVERYBODY FEEL LIKE WE WERE
WORKING ON OUR FIRST FILM, AND HE WAS SO CONFIDENCE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH CONFIDENCE COME OUT OF A FIRST-TIME
DIRECTOR.
IT WAS JUST, WOW, HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.
