Larry and I are ourselves so once we were having a legitimate argument
outside of "Curb"
and it was in the... with and they're setting up it takes hours and the hurry-up-and-wait
kind of deal and so we're out in the front lawn and we're screaming at each
other. I mean I love him, but we're fighting so you know whatever. And we're fighting and I I'm notorious
throughout my whole career I forget to turn the mic off so the producers are in
another room with the headphones on I'm going fuck him and fuck them and he's
jerking me around but I don't turn the mic off if I turned my mic off no one would
hear it. So we're having this argument and and I must say once we started action we
brought that intensity, sorry, into the into the scene. But, before the scene I was
bad-mouthing about 10 people on this, on the show so as we walk into the door and
to the scene I looked to the right and there's a little private room with like
seven or eight producers and right and they all had headphones on and out of
the corner of my eye I went, I saw them oh it's over. The career's over the
show's over. Because they heard everything that I had been saying for
like 40 minutes before the you know the scene. You know there was no consequences
fortunately for me but we sometimes can you know when you're playing
yourself it's really bizarre I mean I don't know about for Larry, but for me you know
I'm not playing myself
how do you describe it then? He's playing who's in the outline
you know you're playing something out you're playing.
Larry, do you remember when we
were doing the scene in the deli where you came to get the tickets you remember
that? Yeah, I was with him. Okay earlier in the day they had spent 12
hours shooting a scene in a balcony and something fell off and and they had done
it and so we start our scene and you say to me, 'what are you eating?' and I
said 'a turkey sandwich.' And, Larry says the fucking wig wasn't in the scene.
No, the band aid. Oh the band, the fucking band-aid wasn't in the scene and I said
oh well okay but did y'all like the turkey? No the fucking band-aid. Back
to the other location! Remember that? Yeah, I do.
We shot a scene in the theater in the episode where I watch "The Producers" and
I'm supposed to have a bandage on my head because Mel Brooks slammed the door
into me and I had the bandage on the whole show and that scene I'm supposed
to have a bandage on and then we went to, we wrapped everything. All the extras, we had the audience full of
extras and we shot the whole thing without the bandage on so we had to
go back to do it again. But, no explanation. I mean we're friends we're
human beings there's no. I've been sitting in this f***** deli for 7 hours, waiting to do this scene. And he said, "the band-id is gone!"
And they're gone, and there's no cameras.
He giggles like a schoolgirl, but Einstein always cracks him up and you know what
I can I just very quickly tell an anecdote about him
Of course. The favorite one and the twins were doing it earlier
that's Berg, Shaffer, and Mandel also our fine executive producers who I
call the twins. But, we were filming the scene where you smell the perfume on
Cheryl. And it's like that's my mother's perfume whatever and his mom's it's his
mom's, uh. Shipment? Fragrance? Not Shiva now. Sounds like?
her coffins there you know and for whatever reason Dale selected as their
AD, he picks out the extras, four or five of really the strangest looking extras
I've ever seen in my life. I'm talking Hall of Famers oh yeah
Wow Wow and they're lined up in a row next to him in front of the casket and
there's other extras myself there all of us are there and we're just standing
around waiting for the for them to call action and starts quiet we're all
because we're there were seconds away and then Bob turns and looks at these
people standing next to him and he goes
These are my best friends! My best friends! They came to my mother's funeral. Oh how thankful I am. They're my best friends!
Ok ok. Can I tell you,
it took ten minutes easy for us to calm down to start shooting again. Here's another
great example of I had a twentieth anniversary party and because of what
had to happen in this script the only people that are at my 20th anniversary
are black people and lesbians
You were there, you were there.
And I said, what is this? Have I? He said, shut the f*** up
*laughter*
Yeah, that was quite a collection
