" Really?" "She looks at me like I'm a different person now." " Wow." " l can't believe it, it's amazing." "Do you have anything to read?" "I just sit here." "You don't have a magazine or a book, nothing?" "No, I just sit." "How come you didn't bring a book or a magazine?" "I don't need one, I like just sitting." "Who could sit on a plane for five hours like that?" "That's crazy." "I can." "Excuse me." "Sir, could you please put your seat in the fully upright position?" " Let me ask you a question." " Yes?" "Did he tell you to say that?" " Did who tell me what?" " That guy right there." "Did he tell you the seat wasn't upright?" "I don't know what you're talking about, but we're trying to take off." "I saw him talking to you." "Did he tell you my seat" "Sir, let me tell you what I need." "I need you to be quiet and in this seat, with the seat fully up." " Okay." " That's what I require, okay?" " But I saw him" " Did you hear what I require?" " Yes, ma'am." " That's all I require, "Yes, ma'am."" "That's very good, you're learning quick." " But wait a second." " Excuse me?" "Would you mind telling me what he said to you up there?" " l saw him whisper to you." " Sir, I'm trying to get to New York." " Do you want to go with me?" " Yes, I do, ma'am." "Then we can't talk any longer." "I got stuff to do." " Okay?" "All right." " Okay." "Okay." "Hey, Schwimmer." "Did you tell the stewardess my seat wasn't in the upright position?" "No." "Hmm, interesting." " Yeah?" " What were you talking to her about?" "That's my business." "Just give me a snippet." "No, the discussion I had is privileged." "Can you give me a hint?" "What's the area?" "What could you be talking to a stewardess about?" "Did you allude to me?" "Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned on the "Fasten Seatbelt" sign." "If you're up and about the cabin, please return to your seats and make sure your seatbelts are securely fastened." "Thank you." "Welcome to The Regency." " Welcome." " Thanks." "Welcome."

"How much longer do you think this is gonna go on?" "I can't say really." "You know, we open in two days." "You should maybe get some sleep." "You want to be refreshed, right?" "Yes."

"Of course you do." "This whole tipping thing, it's so confusing." "Good morning, Mr. David." "is this a good time to clean up?" "Okay, come on in." "Hey, let me ask you a question."

"Excuse me." "Oh, hello, sir." "I was talking to Tim over there." "He says you were a little upset this morning that you didn't get some kind of gratuity." "A little perturbed, yeah, a little." " Really?" " Yeah, sure." "That's your job, Sanji." "You know, it's just like, "Hey, I appreciate this."" "Common courtesy sometimes, "Hey, thank you."" " Common courtesy, really?" " l put in the time, you know, fixed the air for you." " l'll tell you what I'm gonna do." " Yeah." " You know the show, "The Producers?"" " Sure, big show." "I'm in the show. I'm gonna get some tickets today, I'll give you a ticket." " How about that?" " l'll take a ticket." " So we're square?" " Yeah, we are, that's good karma." " All right, Sanji." " Hey, that's good." "Sanjay." " Sanjay." " Thank you." "Excuse me, hey, could I ask you a favor?" " Would you please take our photograph?" " Thank you." "I'm not really very good at this stuff." "It's no big deal, it's just a point-and-click." " All right." " But you gotta turn it around." " Oh, okay." " Thank you." "But do it horizontally." "Okay, you know what?" "It actually works a lot better like this 'cause I get all the background." "I see the buildings, I see the signs." "Okay, but take it horizontally, and if I want it vertical l'll Photoshop it, and this way I have the option." " Just do it horizontally." " l mean, if you saw what I see-  l got it here." "Take it horizontally." " Maybe he's right." " You get the whole city feel." " l see the whole background." " Don't do this, okay?" " John, I was just" "You are constantly undermining every decision I've made on this trip!" " Sir, you know what?" " There's nothing I can do to please you since you got off the goddamn airplane!" "Why don't you guys work this out, okay?" "Seriously." "Oh, so no photo?" " So you're out, that's it?" " Yeah, I'm out." " Okay, thanks." " Excuse me, is that you?" "That's the actor."

" Hey, Larry, how are you doing today?" "Susan Stroman, the best director." "You are so lucky you got her." "Look, I got the lenses put in my Max glasses." " Check it out." " Great." "Oh, it's great." "I like it." " You love that?" " Absolutely." " My father wears these." " l love them." "Okay, you think they'll work." "I got your message, by the way." "Thank you so much." " You're welcome." " He found my watch." " Oh!" " Fantastic." "I lost it yesterday sometime." "Anyway, thank you so much." "Oh, do you have it now?" " That's fantastic." " That's a relief." "All during rehearsal he was going," " "Where's my watch?"" " Did you leave it at the hotel?" "What the hell is going on here?" "Are you kidding or you really found it?" "No, I found it and I had it in my pocket." "Did you look, maybe" "Remember putting it in your pockets?" " l put it in this jacket pocket." " That jacket?" "What, you lost the watch?" "Oh gee, I guess I lost the watch," " l'm sorry." " You lost" "Maybe it's in the cab." "It could drop out of the pocket." " Did you take your jacket off?" " No." "I'm just trying to comprehend this." "You lost my watch that you had less than an hour ago in your hands, correct?" "Yeah, sorry." "Well, you owe me a watch." "What are you, nuts?" "You didn't even have a watch to begin with, so you're in the same position." "There's no change." "It's a little different." "You had my watch and now you don't." "He's right, the watch was lost, so it continues to be lost." " What can I say?" " You can say-- you can say," ""l'm sorry, and I'll buy you a new watch."" " Buy you a new watch?" "!" " Yeah." "It was a lost watch." " You didn't have the watch, right?" " Absolutely, no." "He found the watch, so he had the watch." " Yes." " The watch was there." "He had it." " David lost the watch." " David lost the watch." "Who found the watch?" "Why is David this upset now?" "I don't know why David's this upset now." " Because it's not your watch." " He did not intentionally lose it!" "No, 'cause he lost it first, maybe he should" " Possession is 9/10ths-- - lf the watch had never been lost" "Hey hey, all right!" "All right!" "All right!" "We must go on here." "We have a show to do." "Max and Leo have got to get along." "The whole point of the show is that Max and Leo love each other." "That's the success of this musical, is that journey, that you not only become successful producers, you become wonderful friends." "Now, we can't let what has happened here come into this show." " She's right." " You don't have to worry about me." " What are you doing?" " l'm just arranging-- lt looks like you're building a sandcastle on the table." "Let's start to read." "Now, fellas, the one thing I wanted to talk about was that opening scene." "Oh, you know what?" "I just gotta wash my hands. I'll be right back." "I don't know, we need to get started." "Have you noticed?" "Have you noticed him doing stuff like this?" "He's compulsive beyond belief." "Some people get nervous, they wash their hands." "It's a quirk, it's a quirk." "You know, people have quirks." "Okay." "All right, so now about that first scene, the thing is, you have to drive that scene forward." " Larry?" " Yeah." "So you've got to pick up the cues." "All right, why don't we go to page nine in the script, see if we can get started here?" "It's not like I lost it on purpose, did I?" "I know, he's like a little crazy or something." "Did I take his watch and throw it in the river or something?" "I mean, of course I wanted to keep the watch." " l was excited I got it for him!" " l know." "I didn't understand that." " That's so crazy." " So crazy." "So crazy." "Larry!" "Oh!" "# Opening night # # lt's opening night!" "#" "I don't know what I was thinking!" "I can't do this!" "Nathan, I'm crazy!" "Why did l" "Stop it!" "Just stop it!" "I said stop it!" "Now stand up!" "Take this and go out there!" "You can do it!" "Don't even look back!" "Oy." " Hey." " You wanna go over there?" " What, to the theater?" " Yeah." "Are you cra-- we've got like, an hour and a half." "I thought I'd get there a little earlier." "No, I'm gonna do some stretching." " All right." " You do any kind of warm-up?" "Warm-up?" " Like what?" "What do you mean?" " Like stretching." " Stretching?" " Never mind." "Hey, what about-- how do you feel about reimbursing me for the watch?" "It seems to me your watch was missing." "I mean, we've gone over this, but if I didn't find your watch in the first place," " then it's not mine to lose." " Who had it last?" "You're in the same position now as when I started..." " Who had it last?" " ...so why am I getting blamed for it?" " l mean, you had it." " You lost your watch." " Let's not." "We have a show to do." " Okay, fine." " By the way." " Yeah?" "You did tell the stewardess that my seat" " wasn't in the upright position, right?" " Okay, I'll see you." "Larry David." " Hi!" " l'm a nervous wreck." "Oh no, this'll be exciting." "You're gonna be great!" "I'm gonna destroy your entire show, don't you understand?" "You're doing a great job." "They're gonna love you." " You're gonna get out there" " Why are they gonna love me?" " People dislike me intensely." " 'Cause you're great!" "The audience is not gonna love me." "Yes they are." "Mel never would have let you do the show." "What are you doing here so early?" "I have to get here early every single night." "I do have rituals." " Oh, you've got some O.C.D. stuff." " Yeah, lots of them." " What do you got?" " Oh God, pacing, petal counting." "I think I'm gonna bang my head against the wall, maybe 50 times." " You don't want to do that." " No, I do." "'Cause my mother used to say that to me growing up." ""Go bang your head against the wall," and I took it literally." "I did. I used to bang it against the wall." "That's why I got this condition in the first place, listening to my mother." "Thank you, by the way." "That was so sweet of you, with the guy with the handbag." "That was dangerous." "That was really dangerous!" " l didn't think so." " Oh." " Honestly." " No, you're so sweet." "You know, I didn't even think twice about it." "Honest to God." "The right thing to do." "Well, thanks." "That doesn't happen much." "If I didn't go into show business, I was going to become a fireman." " Hmm." " All right." "I've been thinking about that 10th anniversary present of yours." "You wanna come in?" "Sure." "Close the door." "What is that?" " What is that?" " What?" " What is that?" "What is that?" " What?" "What?" " ls that Bush?" " Yeah." "You've got a picture of Bush in your dressing room?" "Yeah." "You're a Republican?" "Yes, Larry, I'm a Republican." "Ugh." "What the fuck were you thinking?" "!"
