"Pasta, if you like, uh, very good." "What?" "Because of what?" " Eh?" " What?" "What's the sauce with the fish?" "What, what fish?" "He didn't even mention the fish." " There was no fish." " Was fish the second thing?" "I'll just have the..." "I'll just have the first thing." " Okay, and I'll have the second thing." " Grazie." "They should write the thing down." "I don't know what he's talking about." "I've no idea what we just ordered." "So guess what's coming up in a few months?" "I'm sure it's been on your mind." "Our anniversary." " 10 years." " 10-year anniversary." "Boy, they just flew right by, didn't they?" "So, listen, I know what I want." "I would like..." "and just keep an open mind." " So remember our..." " Is it ever closed?" " Hmm-mm." " Has it ever been closed to anything?" "Okay." "Um..." "I would like for us to renew our vows and have a real wedding ceremony." "You got it." " Yeah." " Are you serious?" " Nothing big, small." " Okay, no no, yeah." " Friends, family that kind of thing." " Right." "Oh my gosh, I can't believe you just said yes to that." "I'll tell you what, you just built it all up." "I did." "I didn't know how I was gonna bring it up, but thank you." " You thought it was gonna be a fight." " Yeah yeah." "Now let's talk about my 10th anniversary present." "All right." "What would you like?" "I believe my present has already been agreed upon." " Really?" " Yes." " It's not ringing a bell?" " What are you talking about?" " We already talked about it?" " Here, at this restaurant." " Really?" " 10 years ago, before we got married." "In these seats." "Same seats." "I feel like we're married already." "We're just making it legal." "It's just gonna be, you know, permanent" "And..." "My friends think I'm crazy, but I do." "I just..." "Wait a minute." "They think you're crazy?" "How dare they?" "Well, that's what I say." "Which friends think you're crazy?" "I don't want to name names, but look it's working, right?" "Who, Julie?" "She thinks..." "she thinks you're crazy?" "I just think that we should be a family, you know?" "We should share the same last name." "I want to be Cheryl David." " What do you want to be a David for?" " I want to be your wife..." "Davids want to be out of being Davids." "I don't want to be a David, I have to be a David." "But if you don't have to be a David, why be a David?" "I feel like I have to be a David." "Is it... are you worried about not being able to have sex with someone else for the rest of your life?" "Is that what?" " Where did you get that?" "No." " Because you know what?" "Okay okay." "How about if we get married now..." "like, right now... for our 10-year anniversary, you can have sex with someone else?" "What?" "!" "If that's your hold up here, then let's just do that." "Come on, you're not gonna let me do that." " What are you saying that for?" " I will." "Just sex one time." "It's not a big deal." " Oh, right!" " Aha-aah." " Right." " Aah." " I can't believe you remember that." " Yes, I did remember." "Wow, you have a good memory." "For some things." " Yeah." " Yeah, for some things." "All right, well, all right." "Then I said you could have sex with somebody and you should do that." "It's our 10th anniversary." " You should do it." " I'm joking." "I'm not gonna do it." " I'm not gonna hold you up to it." " No, you should." "I said it 10 years ago." "You should go out and have sex with someone." " No no, it's nice, but..." " No no no no." "thank you." "That's sweet that you wanted... you know." " I'm insisting on it." " You want to keep your word." "No, because if you think you can have sex with somebody else, then you should do that." "What does that mean?" "You're gonna go up and..." ""Hey, lady." "I'm Larry David" "And my wife said I could have sex with somebody tonight."" " First of all, I'm insulted, okay?" " You are?" "Even if I wanted to, you don't think I'm capable of it." "No, I don't think you're capable of it." "I really don't." "That's why I think you, um..." " So if I do this..." " Hmm-mm." "Just so there's no misunderstanding here," " it's okay with you?" " Hmm-mm." "If you find somebody and say, "hey"..." " I don't want to hear any crying." " No." "...and say, "I can't believe you did that." " Why did you do that?" Huh?" " No, I would not be crying." "Oh boy, all right." "Well, thank you." " Thank you for my anniversary present." " You're welcome." "How long do I have to do this?" "You have until our anniversary and that's it." "Good luck." "I just hope Jeff is gonna be at that karaoke party" "Because I have got a lot to say to that young man." "Listen, maybe we should skip the karaoke party." "Why do you want to skip karaoke?" " Oh, it's horrible." "Why don't we just... - Horrible?" "Listen, why don't we go home and I'll..." "I'll make it worth your while." "I kind of wanna go to karaoke." "Oh my god."

"Your head's bleeding." "Just sign in!" "Yes." " Hello?" " Dude." " What are you doing?" " What?" "What are you calling me on the doctor's phone for" "I'm bored to death in here." "Don't use the doctor's phone." "That's not right." " What's the big deal?" " They don't like it." "Well, I just thought I'd give you a call," "See what's up, how you're doing." "What are you reading?" " "Men's Fest..." "Fitness." - "Men's Fitness"?" "Yeah, about America's fattest cities." "Oh, you know what?" "There's the doctor." "All right, I'll talk to you later." "I will, uh, I'll talk to you later." "That was Jeff." "You're not supposed to use that phone." "Sorry." "It was a local call." "You're not supposed to use the phone." "It doesn't matter whether it was a local or a long distance call." "We just don't want people using that phone, okay?" " What's the big deal, if I may ask?" " It's no big deal." "What's the problem?" "There is no problem." "We just don't want people using that phone." "I don't understand why not, though." "Why couldn't I use it?" "Well, you could use it." "You obviously did." "We don't want you to use it, though." "With all due respect, I don't understand the rule." "I don't see what the big deal is." "The history of how we arrived at that" "Is so complex that I won't even bore you with it." "Just let it be said that we don't allow anyone" "To use the phones in the examination rooms." "I just don't see how it's hurting anybody." "It's not hurting anybody." "We just have a rule." "You don't use the doctor's phone." "I just don't understand what the reason is." "You're saying not to use it, but what's the reason?" "I don't understand why you have to know the reason." "I'm just trying to understand why you decided that." "It seems very capricious to me." "You know, it's hard to make a rule that takes in all the contingencies." "So we just have a rule." "Don't use the phone." " Okay." " Okay?" " Understood." " All right." "Glad you understand it." "So what happened to you?" "Let's have a look." "I got hit by a door." "Wow." "Sit down, will you?" "Mel Brooks is coming out of a bathroom" "And he... a swinging door hit me." " Yeah, Mel Brooks, huh?" " Yeah." " Is it the Mel Brooks?" "The funny guy?" " Uh-huh." "I like Mel Brooks." "I'm a big fan." "Lay down, will you?" " Yeah, he's great." " Put your head on the pillow." "I have tickets for his play "The Producers."" " Oh really?" " Yeah." " I hear it's great." " So do I." "Boy this is a..." "kind of a nasty cut." "All right, I think all we have to do here is clean this up and put in a few stitches." " Oh really?" " Hmm-mm." "Oh, okay." "Again I'm sorry about the... the phone stuff." "Oh, it's okay." "Don't worry about it." "Just... if you're ever in a doctor's office again, don't use the phone." "Yeah, it just seems like an odd policy to me, though." "It's a rule that is universal in examination rooms." " You don't use the phone." " The rule doesn't make any sense." " It makes sense to us." " Okay, fine." "We don't have many rules here." "That's one of them." "It seems odd, though, that if you're making a local call that anybody would care, but whatever." "It's not the expense of the call we're concerned about." "I don't know if you've ever had stitches before, but there is a slight bit of pain involved." "Nothing more, I would say, than a little prick." "Yeah, there's definitely a prick involved." "Uh, yes, there is a prick involved." "Yeah, there's one prick involved." "Yeah, I'd say there is one prick involved." "I agree." "I'm not a doctor, but I agree there is one prick." "Yep." "And the more I look at this, I think this is pretty minor." "What the hell?" "You drooled on me!" "So have you thought about anybody for the 10th anniversary present?" "I have been thinking about it." "And?" "You know, I got three months." "I'm gonna take my time and wait... wait for the right one." "And you, my fat friend, will be the first to know." "All right, good." "I should be." "My big fat friend." "Hmm, fatso..." "Yeah, fatso." "Oh, hey." "Did you get your wallet?" " Yeah." "How did you know about that?" " I found it." " Wait." "You're the guy from the car." " Yeah." "Joanne gave it to me in Mel Brooks's office." "Yeah right, right." "I gave it to her." "That's not what she said." " Wait." "She said she found that wallet?" " Yes." "That's an exact quote, "I found this"?" "She said she found the wallet, gave it to me and I gave her 100 bucks." "Seriously, you should worry a little bit less about the wallet" "And maybe maintain a little focus on your driving skills, buddy." "Hello." "Jeff Greene, Larry David to see Mel." " Okay." " Okay." "You know, I ran into the guy in the wheelchair downstairs." "Your friend, Dennis." "He told me that you said that you found the wallet, and he gave you $100 reward?" "What's up with that?" " How dare you come in here..." " How dare I?" "...and accuse me..." " Hey, what's going on?" "This is the guy that I told you about." "Oh, you got a problem with our lifestyle?" " That we want to adopt a baby?" " Not at all." "Yeah." "You need a good fuckin' ass kicking." "That's what you need!" "You want to name our baby Tang?" "!" "You think it's good to name a kid after a breakfast drink?" "!" "We don't think that's a good name!" "Do you understand that?" " I understand." " Damn fucking right!" "You apologize to her." "You apologize now!" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "What are you doing here anyway?" "I got a meeting with Mel Brooks." " Well, you're here." "You came." " Yes." "And I guess you're wondering why I called you." "Kind of, yeah." "Do you remember the other night" "I sang at the karaoke club and then you got up?" " Yeah, he was great." " The audience went pretty wild for me and then you sang "Swanee"" "and they went crazy." "And when you sang, I was absolutely floored." "I mean, I..." "you think I..." " Really?" " No no, I couldn't get over it." "And bang bang, something went off in me." "In a couple of months, the guy playing Max Bialystock will be going out on the road, leaving an empty slot called Max Bialystock, the leading character in "The Producers."" "I want you, Larry David, to be the next Max Bialystock on Broadway." "I would like you to play the lead in "The Producers."" "When this thing goes off, I'm never wrong... the guy has to be... I..." "I..." "I don't, I mean, I'm..." "I don't know what to say, I'm..." " Were you great?" " Well, Mel, I mean, you know..." " He was great. - ...a Broadway show..." "I've never..." "I'm not, like a theater actor." "When we made the movie of "The Producers,"" "The guy that played Carmen Ghia was this incredible, talented greek actor." "His name is Andreas, Andreas Voutsinas." "And Andreas used to say to me..." ""Or you got it or you ain't."" "I said, "Andreas, you can't start a sentence with 'or."'" "He said, "Never mind." "Or you got it, or you ain't."" "You got it, Larry." " You got it, Larry." " You got it, mister." "Mr. Brooks is right, my friend, you got it." "Oh, by the way, Ben Stiller will be taking over at the same time."

"I'm telling you I'm never wrong." "I am never wrong." "I know it sounds crazy to you." "I know it sounds insane." " It doesn't sound crazy to me." " You were born to do it." " It sounds like a joke." " No joke here." "It's like Allen Funt or Jamie Kennedy's gonna come walking through the door." "You were born to do it." "Just see the show tonight, see what happens." "See what happens and then let this all come back to you." "Okay?" " You're gonna do it." "It's gonna happen." " He's going to do it." "Okay, Jeff, tell him in the elevator." "Tell him how great he is." " Gentlemen, a pleasure." " Take care." "I did all the plays in high school." "I swear to God." "They gave me the lead, every one." "Are your M4 and M5?" "Are those your house seats?" "They'll be there." "Pick 'em up at the box office." " Larry David, yeah." " Thank you." "Giant fuckin' mistake if I say so right to your face." " Okay, Zero Mostel..." " Yeah, I know." "I know what you're gonna say." "Nathan Lane, Jason Alexander and Larry David?" " Come on, Mel." " Trust me." "When I know, I know." "And this time, I know." "Thank you very much." "All right." "What's wrong?" "Aw, this thing's killing me." "You know, I'm gonna take a painkiller, I think." " I don't think you should do that." " Why?" " Don't they make you tired?" " So what?" "It's killing me." "It really hurts." "How are you gonna take it without water?" " I don't know." "Pop it in." " Maybe you should wait." "Okay okay." "Okay, Larry." " Did you get it?" " Yeah, I got it." "Ben Stiller?" " Yeah, I think that is." " Hey." "Hi." " Hey, how are you doing?" " Good to see you." " Nice to see you." " We met that one time at the..." " Hi." " Hi, Ben." " Oh good, thank you." " Nice to see you." " You okay?" " Yeah, what happened?" "Mel Brooks hit me with a bathroom door." "Cut my head." " I know, it sounds like a joke." " Really?" "What, were you talking to him?" "I met him today." "Oh, you met him today?" "So he told me you're doing the show." "I am, yeah." "I'm doing the show." "So you were talking to him about maybe..." " He..." " Yeah..." "He offered me the Max Bialystock." "Yeah, I know." " It was a little shocking to me too." " What?" "!" "You mean, he actually offered..." " Yeah." " Really?" "Offered him the..." "I know." " That is..." " Crazy!" "Are you guys just going cra..." "Because it took him a long time to make this decision." " Well, yeah, we..." " Can I ask you something." "You act?" " I know you're..." " No, I don't." "Yeah, and you sing?" "I don't do anything, really." "They'll have to teach me." " Right, right." " He saw me in a karaoke bar." " Wow." " You're fucking with me, right?" "No, it's true, but I'm still thinking about it." " I haven't made up my mind." " You should think about it." "Honey, actually I see Brian and Lee." "We should go say hi." " Bless you." " Gesundheit." "Good to see you." "See you later." " Well, whatever happens happens." " Good to see you." "Lar, good luck." "This is a big decision." "Take care." "I'll watch it tonight and think about it." " Good luck." "Whatever happens, it'll..." " Ben, so good to see you." "And we'll talk about apartments if you need to." " I'm sure we'll all gonna be seeing..." " I know." " I'll check it out." " Yeah." " Okay." " Okay, bye." " What is wrong with you?" " What are you talking about?" "Why didn't you shake his hand?" "He put his hand out for you." "He sneezed all over his hand." " But he just sneezed on it." " How rude is that?" "He didn't notice anything." " He put his hand out to shake." " Oh, please." "Of course he noticed that." "Everyone noticed that." "I'm not going to shake his hand." "It's got snot all over it, come on." "Partners, Leo, all the way."

" It's fine if you want out of it." " No." "Believe me, I will not think any less of you." "No, I don't want to get out of it." "A deal's a deal." "I just want to tell you that there's a few ground rules that we need to talk about, okay?" "Okay, rule number one is, it's a one time only." "Okay, one time only." "And there's a deadline." "It's our anniversary at midnight, then it's over." "Yeah, kind of like Cinderella." " And by the way..." " Yeah?" " If I do this show on Broadway?" " yeah."
