"All of the most important things in my life are changed around and mixed up for dramatic purposes." "So I decided to cut out all of the baloney." "Now, the movie is much shorter." "In fact, this is the end of the movie." "Thank you very much." "I am not fooling." "Good-bye." "Go." "Well, you're still here." "Okay!" "I hope you're not upset."

"But I have my own sports show." "Andy, you know that's not what I meant." "I'm gonna put my foot down." "No more playing alone." "You want to perform, you have got to have an audience."

"I mean, no one's ever done it." "I'm not like everyone else." "Everybody else gets this place cooking." "It was cooking." "There was a man over here that was really upset." "He stormed out, and many people left in the middle of your act." "I can't sell booze to people walking out." "It's just about booze, not comedy or art."

" My name is Lynne." " Lynne." "Lynne is the volunteer, all right." "You're pathetic." "What are you gonna do about it, Suzy Q?" "I want a clean fight." "No kicking, biting, scratching, head-butts." " You understand?" " He's gonna play fair?" "I'm not concerned with him..." "It's up to you." "You pin me." "I don't have to pin you." "Yes, I understand." "Very good." "Can we please shake hands?" "All right, into your respective corners." "Come out wrestling when you hear the bell." "You see?" "You see this?" "Yeah!" "Lynne, no choke holds!" "I told you!" "Yeah!" "Come on!" "Hey, stop right there, Kaufman!" " First warning!" " For what?" "You pulled her hair!" "You won't be getting a second warning, Kaufman!" "That is enough!" "What'd I do?" "Shut up!" "I am the champion." "No woman can..." "I'm mopping up the sweat." "One, two, three." "That is it!" "Lt is over!" "Lt is over!" "You are out!" "You are down!" "The winner and still undisputed Intergender Wrestling Champion of the world Andy Kaufman!" "I am the winner!" "I've got the brains!" "Ma'am?" "Here is your complimentary photo of Merv." " Thank you." " And your Turtle Wax." "I don't want Turtle Wax." "Every guest of Merv's takes Turtle Wax." "And here's your gift voucher to Red Lobster for dinner for two." "Thank you so much." "Listen, I just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job." " I really appreciate it." " Don't patronize me." "No, wait!" "What?" "I hope you don't take everything I did in there seriously." "What I was saying, well, it's just part of the show." "It's like the old days of the carnival barker when he could get the crowd all riled up." "So, you just pretend to be an asshole?" "That's what I'm good at." "Yeah, you are." "You are, you are really, really good at it." "You are." "Merv Griffin got 2,000 pieces of hate mail." "Don't make me laugh, George." "Andy, Merv does not get hate mail." "Well, that means we're a success." "We got the room all worked up, like punk rock." "Andy, they detest you." "The next time you make an appearance women are gonna picket." "You think so?" "Yes, because you have not given them any clues that this is a parody." "That's because I've only done it once." "They'll get used to it." "'Cause I'm gonna do it again and again, and again and again." "Time-out!" "All right, all right, you're out!" "You are out!" "Get..." "Two adults, please." "Thank you." "Do you want some popcorn?" "No, thank you." "I really want one." "A large tub of popcorn, please." "Extra butter." "So, why did you call me?" "You are the last person I expected to call me." "Gosh, gee, Lynne, I mean, I was just so impressed with your wrestling moves, you know?" "Yeah, you were impressed with something." "You had a huge boner on national TV." " Oh, man." "Come on." " Yeah, you did." "I had it taped down and everything." "I hope I didn't offend you." "I'm here, aren't I?" "Hey!" " What?" " Want to go to Memphis and get married?" "Do I want to go to Memphis and get married?" "Why Memphis?" "Because Memphis is the wrestling capital of the world." "I'll get up in the ring and I'll announce that I'll marry the first woman who beats me." "Then you can get up and we'll wrestle and I'll let you win..." " You'll let me win?" "I'll let you win." "I'll let you." "And then we'll run off and we'll get married  on the David Letterman Show." " God!" " Okay?" "What do you say?" "Is this for real?" "Shut up!" "Boo!" "Shut up!" "I demand silence when I am talking." "Total lack of respect from Mr. Hollywood." "If there is one woman here tonight who thinks she can defeat me  that lucky little lady will get to marry me!" "Let me ask you, folks:" "What kind of man would wrestle a woman, anyway?" "Kaufman!" "Kaufman!" "I'll take you on, you sissy!" "The little lady is upset." "Let me tell you somethin', baby." "Go back to the kitchen  where you belong, before you get hurt, okay?" "No, Kaufman, you get in the kitchen, 'cause I'll make you  do my dishes!" "Hey!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "This woman is a fake!" "She's nothin' more than Andy Kaufman's girlfriend." "Right?" "Well, there you go." "That's not true!" " Boo!" " That's not true!" "You big faker!" "That is not true!" "Yeah, that's true." "This is all a set-up, Kaufman." "And I'm not gonna allow you to fool these people." "You understand me?" "Who the hell are you?" "I'm Jerry Lawler, the King of Memphis wrestling!" "He's the King!" "Right on!" "Kaufman, if you want to wrestle somebody  I've got a real wrestler." "She's trained and she's ready." "Let's see if you can handle Foxy Jackson!" "Come on, Foxy!" "Oh, my!" "Foxy Jackson and Andy Kaufman  right here, one-on-one." "I never agreed to this!" "I will not do this!" "Lawler, I did not agree to this!" "This is against the rules!" "I don't think that Kaufman was prepared for Foxy Jackson." "Mr. Hollywood." "Again, Kaufman showing a total lack of respect." "Foxy Jackson's gonna take Kaufman to the woodshed." "Kaufman hangin' on the ropes like a little baby!" "Foxy's about to take Kaufman right out of his shorts!" "One, two, three." " Can you believe it?" "Son of a gun!" " I got her!" "Come on, you wank, get off of her!" "Get him off of her, come on." "Now, there goes the King..." "Oh, man!" "He just threw Kaufman down like a rag doll!" "The King took matters into his own hands!" " You all right?" " Sit her down." "What are you doing?" "I do not wrestle men!" "I am gonna sue you, Lawler!" "I am a national TV star and I don't like dumb, stupid crackers..." "I did not agree to wrestle you!" "I did not agree!" "This is assault and battery!" "And I'm gonna get a team of lawyers to sue you and your children, and your children's children!" "Let me tell you somethin', Kaufman!" "Wrestling's a very serious sport to me!" "And I don't appreciate a jerk like you makin' fun of it!" "I certainly don't appreciate a jerk like you makin' fun of people from the South!" "So we can go to court if you want to!" "Or you can get in the ring with a man and wrestle for real!" "You wanna wrestle me?" "You wanna wrestle me, Memphis god?" "Let me tell you somethin', Mr. Lawler." "I am gonna make you scream for mercy!" "Come on, Kaufman!" "They didn't know what hit them!" "Is it an act?" "Or are you just addicted to causing trouble?" "I can quit anytime I want, baby!" "You know what?" "I'm not a prop." "Don't ever treat me like that again." "I'm sorry." "I just get caught up, that's all." "Sometimes I get lost." "Please, Andy, enough with the wrestling." "You don't think that I can beat him?" "He's the southern heavyweight champion!" "He'll kill you!" "I don't know." "I've wrestled women that are bigger than him and I've mopped the floor with 'em." "Well, first you piss off women then you piss off the South, then you get killed." "And I did the booking." "It's funny." "Listen, I got this job that I want you to take." "It's guest-hosting the TV show Fridays." "It's not a great TV show, but it'll be good for you." "It's live, they'll give you carte blanche and you can get back in the business of making people laugh." "You said "live"?" "Live." " I don't do drug humor." " Andy, it's fine." "This is what the show is all about." "Kids love this stuff." "But I don't do drugs, and I don't enjoy making light of them." "I was promised creative control." "No one promised you creative control." "You got the script three days ago, and don't say a word until now." "We're on live in minutes." "It's too late." "Let's go!" "Bring the audience in!" " Live from the Los Angeles basin..." " Janice!" "Lt's on!" "... it's Fridays!" "Tonight's special guest star  Andy Kaufman!" "In this sketch, two married couples are out to dinner." "Everybody has secretly brought along a joint." "And Carl was the last one to sneak to the bathroom to get a little high." "And now he's coming back to the table." "Restaurants are amazing, aren't they?" "All these strangers just sitting around, stuffing dead animals into their faces." "Incredible." "Yeah." "Gee." "And the bathrooms are  so colorful." "Everything okay, Carl?" "I'm sorry." "I just can't do it." "I can't play stoned." "Read the cue cards." "I can't play stoned." "I feel stupid." "You feel stupid?" "What about us?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Andy." "You didn't have to do that." "Cut it out!" "Oh, you jerk!" "Okay, that's it!" "Joey, go to commercial, now!" "I told you I didn't want to do this, didn't I?" "Kaufman, get off my stage." "Get off my stage, man!" "Get your hands off me." "Don't you touch me!" "You're a nut!" "Break it up!" "You are a nut!" "Why does Andy do that?" "Jesus, you are a nut!" "Come on!" "Why?" "Why?" "I started using Suave..." "We've gone to commercial!" "Excuse me!" "You're never gonna work for ABC again, ever!" "Excuse me?" "Ladies and gentlemen, please." "You have all just participated in a happening." "Now, okay, now to make it real, some of you down there knew what was going on and some of you didn't." "I'm sorry." "But we don't want to upset the folks at home so now, Andy is going to tell them that it was all just a prank." "Coming back from commercial, and..." "During the commercials, the people at ABC  told me to explain to you that this whole fight episode  was staged." "Oh, good." "It's a lie!" "It's a cover-up!" "Why are you laughing?" "I don't understand why you're laughing." "I'm not being funny." "What you saw was real!" "These things occur all the time at the networks  only they're cut away." "Cut to commercial." "You see?" "You see?" "Now, for sure they'll fire me." "If you want to see me again  you'll have to come to Memphis..." "NIBLETS CORN In Butter Sauce" "What's in Memphis?" "The giant's flavor-tight pouch lets you cook the corn in..." "That kid is totally meshuga." "Jerry "the King" Lawler!" "The most popular athlete  in the history of Memphis, Tennessee  steppin' inside a square circle." "At 236 pounds  Jerry "the King" Lawler!" "And introducing, at 191 pounds  the holder of  the World Intergender Championship  here is Andy Kaufman!" "You can hear the ovation or lack of one for Andy Kaufman." "The cheers turn to jeers." "Yeah, Lawler is gonna settle the score for each and every one of us  because we've all been insulted by this hideous Andy Kaufman." "This man from Hollywood, California..." "Before we begin this event, I just want to say a couple of things  to you disgusting people!" "Come on!" "Now, that's just not right." "Are you listening to me?" "Okay!" "Ladies and gentlemen  this is a bar of soap." "Say it with me." "Soap." "All you have to do is wet this bar of soap  and wipe your hands with it and rub it on your body  and soon that disgusting, filthy dirt  will come off!" "Why is he saying these things?" "He's just engaging the audience." "He's riling them up." "They are going to lynch him." "And now for lesson two." "This is toilet paper!" " Good grief." " Use it!" "Let me tell you something, Kaufman." "We've had enough of your crap." "Now, let's do what we came here to do, let's wrestle, right now!" "All right, here we go." "The King is ready, and I hope  for Kaufman's sake, he's ready." "Kaufman's due a trip to the old woodshed here." "I never thought I'd see the day that..." "Well, look at Kaufman!" "Yeah, Kaufman doesn't want any part of Lawler." "He's an absolute embarrassment to humanity  this man from Hollywood." "You see, I am from Hollywood." " Who cares?" " I have the brains." "Nobody cares where you're from!" ""I'm the King." "I'm the King." "I'm the King of Memphis, Tennessee. "" "Andy, please, let's go home." "Don't worry, Mom, I'll make you proud." "Kaufman got nailed with somethin'." "Some fan threw something'." "Who did that?" "You cannot touch me!" " I'll sue you!" " Hey, Kaufman!" "I make more money in one day  than you do in your entire lives combined." "Kaufman!" "Did you come down here to wrestle or act like an ass?" "Now get in the ring!" "I'll give you a free headlock, okay?" "Come on!" "Lawler seems to be willing to offer a free hold here of some kind." "No, not now, drop it!" "Drop it, now!" "It'll be okay!" "Lt's okay." "Let Kaufman get in there and let's see what kind of man he is." "One, two, three." "I can't believe that the King is gonna go through with this." "Come on!" "That big-mouth son of a gun has got a free headlock!" "And business may pick up here!" "I did it!" "This is for real!" "I did it!" "Yeah!" "Look out, Kaufman!" "There he goes!" "Hold on!" "Kaufman in trouble." "Look out!" "The King folded him up like an accordion that time." "And now the King is asking the crowd if they want to see the piledriver." "That's illegal." "Kaufman is out of it." "Oh, my!" "Oh, my!" "It's gonna be a piledriver!" "There it is!" "Andy!" "And he's hurt bad." "That's an automatic disqualification, right there." "Well, Kaufman wins, but he doesn't look like a winner, right now." "Let's go!" "Come on, let's go!" "Hey, George." "Hey, Lorne." "Thanks for seeing me at such short notice." "I wanted to talk to you about putting Andy  back on Saturday Night Live." "George, I don't know whether Andy works on the show, anymore." "I mean, the wrestling stuff is..." " Yeah..." " Just, I think it's worn..." "The wrestling." "Yeah, we all agree completely about the wrestling, now." " That's smart." "Andy is very sincere." "He's gonna apologize to Jerry Lawler and repent for all his bad guy shenanigans." "I apologize for all the wrestling I've ever done and I'm sorry for all the grief I've ever given." "I was just playing bad guy wrestler, you know, and it's just a role." "It's not me." "So, I guess Jerry just took it personally." "I mean, you said some pretty inflammatory things, obviously." "Right, I mean, everything's a joke to this guy." "Like that thing." "Is it a neck brace or a flea collar?" " That's not true." "This is very serious." "I went to the hospital." "I was in the hospital for three days, in traction." "And I'll tell you something else." "My dad said I could've sued you." "I could have sued you for everything you've got." "But I didn't because I'm not that kinda guy." "What kinda guy are you?" "Tell you what, I think maybe I'll get a lawyer, you know?" "Listen, if you were a man, you'd apologize to me right now." "But you're just poor, white trash, and so I guess that's too lofty a concept for you." "I mean, you know, what are you gonna do?" "Are we, is everything, are you okay?" "I'm sick of this shit, Lawler." "I'm gonna sue you for everything you've got I swear to God." "Fuck you!" "Okay?" "Okay, Lawler?" "Fuck you!" "I'm sorry Dave." "Okay?" "I know I'm not supposed to say those things on television." "I can't say those words, and I apologize." "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "But you, you are a..." " Ing, ..." " Ing, ..." " Hole!" "Okay?" "Well I think you can use some of those words on TV but, what you can't do is throw coffee." ""Some of us at Saturday Night Live think that..." ""..." "Andy Kaufman's a comic genius, but others disagree." ""They say he's just not funny anymore." ""So we're leaving the decision up to you." ""To keep Andy, call 1-900-555-7618." ""To dump him..."" "JOKESTER AND Y KAUFMAN VOTED OFF SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" "This is bad." "I only got 28 percent." "This is Saturday Night Live, the hippest audience in television." "They turned on you." "Look, it pains me to say this but I don't think you two guys should ever work together again." "I'm sorry, George, we just thought it was funny." "You don't have to be sorry, Jerry." "You're terrific." "You're just the best." "I wouldn't have traded it for anything." "To me, this was a shining moment for wrestling." "Me, too." "And it was a shining moment for behavioral science." "But, why can't I make a gag out of this?" "I mean maybe I could go on the show, and I could I could say it was rigged and that I demand a recount." "Andy, you don't understand." "They don't want you back." "Now, close your eyes and if the thoughts of this world enter your head don't be upset by them." "It's just your stress unraveling itself." "Just slowly come back to the mantra." "Andy?" "Please." "Just continue your meditation." "I'll be back." "Jai Gurudev." "Jai Gurudev." "Hi, Andy." "Hi." "Hi." "This is very difficult for me to say but we feel that it's best if you don't attend the retreat." "Why?" "I go to the retreat every year." "I know, Andy, and we don't doubt your devotion to transcendental meditation." "It's just that we feel that well, you and the program have grown apart..." "Philosophically." ""Philosophically?" What's "philosophically"?" "Well, Andy, the wrestling, the sexist remarks, the foul language they're just not becoming of an individual of spiritual enlightenment." "It seems you just don't respect anything." "Of course I do." "It's just I think of the world as an illusion and we shouldn't take ourselves so seriously." "Don't..." "Don't, please do this." "You've got to let me attend these classes." "It's what keeps me balanced." "It's apparently not working." "Then help me." "Help me, okay?" "Guide me." "We just don't wish your presence here." "Hi." "I brought you some Haagen-Dazs." "I don't deserve Haagen-Dazs." "I'm a bad person." "Don't." "You aren't a bad person." "You are a complicated person." "You don't know the real me."

"Put it right there." "Right there." "Yuck." "And now, ladies and gentlemen, a treat for staying late." "Please welcome from Taxi, the Improv's own  Mr. Andy Kaufman!" "Actually, Budd, you're wrong." "I found out today that Taxi has been canceled." "What?" "Not to mention that my wife left me  and she took the kids." "I don't understand why you're laughing." "I'm not joking." "And then this morning  I got up and I noticed that I have a cyst, or some kind of boil  on the back of my neck." "Look." "See?" "So I was thinking that since  I'm still kind of a quasi-celebrity, that  maybe I could charge people to touch it." "Would anybody like to pay $1 to touch my cyst?" "I'm serious." "I could really use the money, right now." "It's a good deal." "Okay." "Wait, no, you gotta pay first." "It's $1 to touch my celebrity cyst." "Okay." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Would Andy like to tell us why he called us out at 4:00 in the morning?" "Yeah." "I have cancer." "Forget it." "Forget it!" "That is in terrible taste."

"That's ridiculous, you don't even smoke." "I've got some freaky, rare kind." "It's called large cell carcinoma." "I'm a lucky guy." "Have you told your family?" "No." "I don't want to tell them." "I just..." "I've jerked 'em around so much." "Andy, look in my eye, and tell me this is true." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Lynne!" "Come on." "If I find out that you're behind this, I'll kill you, Zmuda!" "What the hell are you talkin' about George?" "I was the one who didn't believe him."

"Lassie never bit you, and you know it." "Case dismissed!" "Dad?" "The cancer started here in Andy's lungs and spread to his left arm." "We've initiated an aggressive radiation program." "See if we can eradicate the affected cells." " Dr. Sullivan, line one." " Excuse me, I'll be right back." "What a crock." "How dare you make light of this?" "Dad, I cried when he broke his neck." "He's not getting me again." "Jesus Christ, Carol, he's got lung cancer." "He wants us scratching our heads, asking ourselves, "Is this real?"" "Of course it's real." "We're in a hospital." "Mom, it's Cedars-Sinai." "It's a show biz hospital." "Andy's studio friends probably run this place." "He plans these things." "He takes over and hires actors."

"No more Kaufman stories." "He's burned us too many times." "A very reliable source told me, Andy Kaufman has lung cancer." "Please, he's definitely not dying."
