1. Now listen up, boys and girls.
Copy !req
2. I'm gonna say this
one time only.
Copy !req
3. The next time one of you shows
up wearing black sneakers
Copy !req
4. instead of black dress shoes,
you'll need 'em
Copy !req
5. because I'll chase
your delicate little butt
Copy !req
6. right out into the street.
Copy !req
7. If you're serious about
a career in television,
Copy !req
8. I suggest you start
caring about proper foot dress.
Copy !req
9. Okay?
Got it?
Copy !req
10. Dig it?
Dismissed.
Copy !req
11. Arthur!
Bleacher.
Copy !req
12. Arthur!
Bleacher!
Copy !req
13. Oh my God, oh my God, Arthur,
we are in such deep shit.
Copy !req
14. All right, what is it?
Copy !req
15. Who dropped out, George Wendt
or Angela Lansbury?
Neither.
Copy !req
16. Beverly was driving Larry back
from the frozen yogurt place
Copy !req
17. and he became
violently ill.
Copy !req
18. Oh, God, why does Larry
have to go into
Copy !req
19. the yogurt place in person?
Copy !req
20. Because he thinks
if you can see the colors,
Copy !req
21. it's easier to pick the flavor.
Copy !req
22. He threw up all over
the front seat of Beverly's car
Copy !req
23. and then he threw up all over
Ventura Boulevard.
Copy !req
24. Sherman Oaks?
Studio City.
Copy !req
25. Any witnesses?
No, she didn't think so.
Copy !req
26. Oh, thank God,
because I've seen Larry vomit.
Copy !req
27. It's not something
you want to watch
Copy !req
28. over and over again
on "Hard Copy."
Copy !req
29. Damn it to hell!
Copy !req
30. What's going on?
I'll tell you later.
Copy !req
31. Where's Larry now?
Beverly took him home.
Copy !req
32. We are one hour
away from showtime.
Copy !req
33. What do we do, have the pages
send the audience home?
Copy !req
34. We are not cancelling
this show, goddammit!
Copy !req
35. Angela's a personal friend
of mine
Copy !req
36. and George Wendt
is starring on a TV movie
Copy !req
37. for the network tomorrow night.
Copy !req
38. They need us
to help promote it,
Copy !req
39. so there's no way
we can cancel.
Copy !req
40. All right, 45 minutes
to find a guest host.
Copy !req
41. Great, do I call the list
of regulars?
Copy !req
42. Call in this order:
Jerry Seinfeld,
Copy !req
43. Richard Lewis, Bob Saget,
John Ritter,
Copy !req
44. Howie Mandel, Louie Anderson.
Copy !req
45. Howie Mandel?
Copy !req
46. You're right.
Copy !req
47. Flop Howie and Louie,
bump Saget from third to fourth,
Copy !req
48. and make sure
that Seinfeld knows
Copy !req
49. that he's our first choice.
Copy !req
50. When he says no, make sure that
Richard Lewis thinks
Copy !req
51. that he's our first choice,
and so on down the list.
Copy !req
52. Oh, your mind amazes me!
Copy !req
53. I'm just now
comfortable with it myself.
Copy !req
54. Okay, Phil!
Copy !req
55. Make sure Sid has the monologues
on the cards early.
Copy !req
56. We want it ready for whoever
we get, whenever they get here.
Copy !req
57. Right.
What's going on, Paula?
Copy !req
58. Seinfeld and Ritter
are out of town,
Copy !req
59. Saget and Louie have conflicts,
Copy !req
60. Richard Lewis might be able
to move something around.
Copy !req
61. His agent's calling me
right back.
Copy !req
62. Howie Mandel?
Copy !req
63. Migraine.
He can barely stand.
Copy !req
64. Have you called him?
No.
Copy !req
65. Ah, Larry!
Copy !req
66. It's Artie, don't bother
to pick up, pal.
Copy !req
67. I know you're feeling like shit.
Copy !req
68. I, uh, just want you to know
everything's going fine.
Copy !req
69. I'm sitting here
with our friend Phil.
Copy !req
70. We don't even miss you, Larry.
Copy !req
71. Ah, listen,
we love ya, pal.
Copy !req
72. We miss you.
Copy !req
73. You're in our thoughts
and prayers.
Copy !req
74. Paula, goddammit,
get me a name!
Copy !req
75. 80% unemployment
in the acting ranks,
Copy !req
76. you can't find me one name?
Copy !req
77. Okay, here's the deal.
Copy !req
78. Richard Lewis
is not available today
Copy !req
79. but he is tomorrow
if we need him.
Copy !req
80. Great.
Howie Mandel?
Copy !req
81. He is out of town.
Copy !req
82. Did you call him?
Copy !req
83. I just got the message.
Copy !req
84. Oh, bullshit.
Oh, come on, man.
Copy !req
85. It's 35 minutes to showtime.
Copy !req
86. I don't mean to be
a pain in the ass.
Copy !req
87. Are you sure that
there's no one available?
Copy !req
88. I'm sure.
No one?
Copy !req
89. Well, there's some chimps
at "Live at Five"
Copy !req
90. who might be available.
Copy !req
91. I don't think so.
Copy !req
92. We'll have to settle
for the next best thing.
Copy !req
93. Paula, are you aware I'm about
to open the lid of a box
Copy !req
94. far nastier than Pandora's?
Copy !req
95. Aw, damn.
Copy !req
96. Uh, napkin.
Copy !req
97. Hank, we have a problem.
Copy !req
98. I'm not supposed to eat
in my show clothes, I know.
Copy !req
99. It's just... I get hungry.
Copy !req
100. Hank, Larry's very,
very ill.
Copy !req
101. We need you
to host the show tonight.
Copy !req
102. No.
Yes.
Copy !req
103. No.
Oh, yes!
Copy !req
104. Oh, this is amazing!
Copy !req
105. My psychic told me
a man in my life
Copy !req
106. was going to be given
a great opportunity.
Copy !req
107. I thought she meant
my father was gonna get a job,
Copy !req
108. but— but this—
this is good too!
Copy !req
109. Yes, it is.
Copy !req
110. Hank, we've got mucho to do
in 35 minutes.
Copy !req
111. Now, shall we?
Copy !req
112. Arthur?
Yes?
Copy !req
113. Can't move my legs.
Copy !req
114. Look, hey,
how's the legs now?
Copy !req
115. Uh... I'm—
I'm a little shaky, but—
Copy !req
116. God!
Copy !req
117. I've been waiting for this
moment my whole life.
Copy !req
118. I'm— I'm not gonna
let you down.
Copy !req
119. I can do this, I know it.
All right.
Copy !req
120. Yes, you can, Hank.
Copy !req
121. I'm doing some
creative visualization
Copy !req
122. and I'm seeing the audience
screaming with laughter.
Copy !req
123. I'm seeing
the same thing, Darlene.
Copy !req
124. Thank you for explaining
the screaming.
Copy !req
125. Uh, Darlene, call my agent,
call my manager, uh—
Copy !req
126. Oh, I should call
your wife!
Copy !req
127. Wife, yes, of course!
Copy !req
128. Uh, and, uh,
I want to eat some fruit.
Copy !req
129. I— I don't know why.
A Pineapple.
Copy !req
130. Oh, I should call
my mom.
Copy !req
131. She's gonna be so excited.
She has a thing for Hank.
Copy !req
132. Oh, don't we all.
Oh, uh, Artie.
Copy !req
133. My pal, Shadoe Stevens,
he's two blocks away.
Copy !req
134. Why don't we call him, have him
do the warm-up and the intro?
Copy !req
135. Shadoe is two blocks away.
Copy !req
136. Did I
say that already?
Copy !req
137. Whatever you want, Hank.
Copy !req
138. Okay.
Copy !req
139. Artie!
Yo!
Copy !req
140. I want to thank you.
Copy !req
141. I mean, I want to thank you
for this.
Copy !req
142. It's just
such a wonderful,
Copy !req
143. tremendous vote of confidence.
Copy !req
144. I— I wanna thank you.
Copy !req
145. Hank, believe me,
I had no choice.
Copy !req
146. I know.
Copy !req
147. Thank you.
Copy !req
148. Ha.
Copy !req
149. Um, where's—
where's my pineapple?
Copy !req
150. Okay, Hank, you wanna try
this first one?
Copy !req
151. Uh, could you—
Copy !req
152. Elizabeth, can you give us
a couple minutes?
All right.
Copy !req
153. Thank you.
Copy !req
154. Ask 'em if my...
Copy !req
155. Okay, um, you come out.
Copy !req
156. Applause, applause.
Hopefully.
Copy !req
157. And, uh, then you say this.
Copy !req
158. I say...
Copy !req
159. A little higher.
I say, "Thank you, all.
Copy !req
160. "Before we go on, I wanna send
a special message to my boss,
Copy !req
161. "my friend, Mr. Larry Sanders.
Copy !req
162. "Get well soon, buddy.
Copy !req
163. Things aren't the same
without..."
Copy !req
164. My God, Larry's sick?
Copy !req
165. Yeah, food poisoning.
Copy !req
166. Didn't anybody
tell you?
Copy !req
167. No.
Yeah...
Copy !req
168. Oh, no—
well, no, I—
Copy !req
169. Oh, I guess—
I guess Artie did,
Copy !req
170. but, you know, I—
I was so nervous,
Copy !req
171. and the shock
and the excitement.
Copy !req
172. Uh, uh... Food poisoning.
Copy !req
173. Yeah, yeah.
Eh, eh, eh.
Oh, man.
Copy !req
174. Uh, how many days
does that last?
Copy !req
175. I have no idea.
Copy !req
176. Uh, but we should really
try to get through these—
Copy !req
177. Yeah, we should, okay.
Copy !req
178. So you say that—
I say that.
Copy !req
179. And there's more applause.
And then you continue.
Copy !req
180. And then I continue.
Copy !req
181. Okay.
Higher.
Copy !req
182. "Even though Larry
couldn't be here tonight,
Copy !req
183. "I know he's comfortable.
Copy !req
184. I have an American car—
the trunk is quite spacious."
Copy !req
185. Flip it.
No, that— that—
that's it, Hank.
Copy !req
186. What?
Copy !req
187. That— that's the joke.
Copy !req
188. Uh, "The trunk
is quite spacious."
Copy !req
189. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
190. Uh...
Copy !req
191. I'm talking about—
I'm talking about Larry—
Copy !req
192. Yeah.
Then, you know,
talking about my car.
Copy !req
193. See, there's...
Copy !req
194. there's a logic.
Copy !req
195. Well, th—
See, that's the joke.
Copy !req
196. The idea is that you've
kidnapped Larry
Copy !req
197. and you've put him
in the trunk—
Copy !req
198. The trunk of my car!
Copy !req
199. I'm— Eesh!
Copy !req
200. I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
201. Uh, okay, uh...
Copy !req
202. Try it again.
Copy !req
203. Okay, takeover,
takeover, takeover.
Copy !req
204. Um, I'm sorry, okay.
Copy !req
205. "Even though Larry
couldn't be here tonight,
Copy !req
206. "I know he's comfortable.
Copy !req
207. I have an American car,"
Copy !req
208. and I put him in the trunk
and I kidnapped him.
Copy !req
209. Does that help?
Copy !req
210. Does it hurt?
Copy !req
211. Don't worry about a thing, pal.
Copy !req
212. Everything's under control.
Copy !req
213. You just rest up.
Copy !req
214. You're gonna watch the show
on the satellite feed?
Copy !req
215. Larry on the phone:
Yeah, who'd you get to host?
Copy !req
216. How far down the list
do I have to go?
Copy !req
217. Actually, we're off the list.
Hank.
Copy !req
218. Artie on the phone:
Larry?
Copy !req
219. Larry?
Copy !req
220. Artie, it— it's Beverly.
Copy !req
221. Uh, Larry's vomiting again.
Copy !req
222. Can we get back to you?
Copy !req
223. Oh, certainly.
Copy !req
224. Mr. Wendt!
Copy !req
225. Hi.
Hi.
Copy !req
226. I'm, uh, Phil,
the best writer.
Copy !req
227. Hi.
Thanks for doing the show.
Copy !req
228. Yeah, no problem.
Uh, there's been
a little change.
Copy !req
229. Yeah?
Yeah. Uh, Larry's sick
and so we have to have somebody
Copy !req
230. filling in for him tonight.
Oh, no.
Copy !req
231. Yeah.
He's okay, though?
Copy !req
232. Oh, he'll be fine.
Yeah.
Copy !req
233. Yeah.
Who's gonna host?
Copy !req
234. Uh, Hank.
Copy !req
235. Hank?
Yeah.
Copy !req
236. Well, that's cool.
Copy !req
237. Oh, my God.
That's cool.
Copy !req
238. Oh, my God.
Well, um...
Copy !req
239. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
240. I— I should give you
the opportunity now
Copy !req
241. that if you wanna say anything—
Copy !req
242. No, no, no,
I'm fine with Hank.
Copy !req
243. That's great.
No, really.
Copy !req
244. You don't have to be nice
about this because—
Copy !req
245. Do you have
a problem with Hank?
No, no.
Copy !req
246. Hank's great.
Oh.
Copy !req
247. Yeah. It's just that,
uh, it's his first show
Copy !req
248. and he's a little green, so...
Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
249. Well, that's all right.
Copy !req
250. You know, I did Conan's first
show, so you have to remember.
Copy !req
251. Yes, I do.
And I forgive you.
Copy !req
252. So...
Copy !req
253. Shit.
Copy !req
254. "George Wendt, Angela Lansbury,
Copy !req
255. and comedian Jeff Cesario."
Copy !req
256. Good!
"And now, because everybody else
in show business
Copy !req
257. was out of town or in rehab..."
Copy !req
258. Yes.
"'Hey Now' He—
Copy !req
259. 'Hey Now' Hank Kingsley!"
Copy !req
260. Okay, good, good.
Copy !req
261. No, your instincts
are absolutely right.
Copy !req
262. Do you mind?
No.
Copy !req
263. Just my opinion, but, um,
I think you wanna go,
Copy !req
264. you know, two notes,
Copy !req
265. but you wanna go up
on the second note.
Copy !req
266. You see—
King— Kingsley.
Copy !req
267. Kingsley!
Kingsley!
Copy !req
268. Don't be afraid of it.
Kind of a clarinet riff.
Copy !req
269. No, B-flat.
King—
Copy !req
270. Kingsley!
Kingsley!
Copy !req
271. Kingsley!
You got me here,
you got it!
Copy !req
272. There it is.
Copy !req
273. All right,
five minutes, gentlemen.
Copy !req
274. Shadoe, how's it going?
Copy !req
275. Oh, great. Perfect.
Copy !req
276. Listen, would you do me a favor
Copy !req
277. and give me
a few moments with, um...
Copy !req
278. the host with the most.
No problem.
Copy !req
279. The man is vocal god.
Copy !req
280. Ah, indeed he is.
Copy !req
281. Love you on
"Dave's World," kiddo.
Copy !req
282. Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
283. Thank you, Bernadene.
Thank you.
Copy !req
284. Okay?
Okay.
Copy !req
285. I'm fine.
Copy !req
286. Uh, I'm just trying
to pick out, you know,
Copy !req
287. just the right tie for the show.
Copy !req
288. What about this one?
You think that one?
Copy !req
289. Oh, definitely.
Okay.
Copy !req
290. That— that's the one.
You're the boss.
Copy !req
291. And, uh, you know, I ordered
some, uh, pineapple.
Copy !req
292. You know, uh, uh...
have you seen my pineapple?
Copy !req
293. No, I haven't, I—
I haven't seen it
but I'll get right on it.
Copy !req
294. Okay.
Uh, I've been talking to Larry.
Copy !req
295. He sends his best.
Great.
Copy !req
296. And, uh...
my shoes aren't right.
Copy !req
297. Look at the shoes.
What's wrong with them?
Copy !req
298. Well, they're just not right,
you know?
Copy !req
299. And I ordered
some pineapple...
Copy !req
300. Should I be concerned?
Copy !req
301. Hmm?
Copy !req
302. Don't make me do this, okay?
I just can't do this.
Copy !req
303. I'm not...
Copy !req
304. I'm not up to this
Copy !req
305. and don't make me—
Copy !req
306. Oh, come on.
Paula's out there.
Copy !req
307. She's waiting to go over
the guest questions with you.
Copy !req
308. I'll be a few feet away
at the monitor.
Copy !req
309. We're just so thrilled for you.
Copy !req
310. We just wanna support you,
buddy.
Okay.
Copy !req
311. What if I suck?
Copy !req
312. Never.
No.
Copy !req
313. Yeah, what if I suck?
Copy !req
314. I mean, after all this time,
I finally get my chance,
Copy !req
315. and what if I, uh, suck?
Copy !req
316. You— you know, I'm serious.
Copy !req
317. Maybe I shouldn't, uh,
get my chance
Copy !req
318. and then I don't have to
find out I suck.
Copy !req
319. Breathe in.
Copy !req
320. What if I suck?
Let it out.
Copy !req
321. What if I suck?
Copy !req
322. Ready?
Copy !req
323. No.
Breathe in.
Copy !req
324. Let it out.
Copy !req
325. Ready?
Copy !req
326. No.
Copy !req
327. Here he is!
Copy !req
328. Yay!
Copy !req
329. Okay, now if you get in trouble,
just go to the cards.
Copy !req
330. You'll be fine.
Copy !req
331. All the guests know
it's your first time hosting
Copy !req
332. and they're cool with it.
Okay.
Copy !req
333. Uh, but why'd you tell 'em?
Copy !req
334. Well, they were gonna find out
sooner or later anyway.
Copy !req
335. Um, just put these
in the desk and, um...
Copy !req
336. Sure.
Copy !req
337. Thank you.
Copy !req
338. I have a very good feeling about
all of this, Hank.
Copy !req
339. What are you drinking?
Copy !req
340. Red Zinger and gin.
Copy !req
341. You'll be great.
Copy !req
342. 30 seconds, Hank.
Copy !req
343. Live on tape from Hollywood...
Copy !req
344. This is your first card.
Copy !req
345. You got it?
Okay, Sid.
Copy !req
346. This is your mark.
Copy !req
347. George Wendt...
Copy !req
348. Ready?
Angela Lansbury...
Copy !req
349. Mmm.
Listen to me, buddy.
Copy !req
350. I've been in this business,
man and boy, almost 40 years.
Copy !req
351. I know things, Hank.
Copy !req
352. Let me tell you
one of the things I know.
Copy !req
353. You do not suck!
Copy !req
354. "Hey Now"...
Copy !req
355. That's one of the kindest things
anyone has ever said to me.
Hank Kingsley!
Copy !req
356. Thank you.
Copy !req
357. Wow.
Copy !req
358. Thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
359. Now, uh, before it goes—
before we goes on,
Copy !req
360. I want to send a special message
to my boss, my friend,
Copy !req
361. Mr. Larry Sanders.
Copy !req
362. Get well soon, buddy.
Copy !req
363. Things aren't the same
without you.
Copy !req
364. Wow, uh thank you.
Copy !req
365. Even though Larry wouldn't be...
Copy !req
366. couldn't be here tonight,
I know he's, uh, comfortable.
Copy !req
367. I have an American car
and the trunk is quite spacious.
Copy !req
368. Thank you.
Copy !req
369. Now, uh, say, did you read
the paper this morning?
Copy !req
370. Uh, tennis star
Jennifer Capriati
Copy !req
371. is in the, uh, drug rehab.
Copy !req
372. I mean, is this really
a surprise?
Copy !req
373. I seem to remember
people all the time saying
Copy !req
374. she preferred playing on grass.
Copy !req
375. How's Hank doing?
Copy !req
376. He just got
his first big laugh.
Copy !req
377. Good for Hank.
Copy !req
378. You don't understand.
Copy !req
379. This is gonna go
right to his head.
Copy !req
380. He's gonna be a huge,
huge pain in the ass.
Copy !req
381. You know Jimmy Woods?
Copy !req
382. That's nothing.
Copy !req
383. You know, um, my father,
uh, always, uh,
Copy !req
384. told me to tell the truth,
Copy !req
385. so if it isn't obvious, I am...
Copy !req
386. I'm really terrified.
Copy !req
387. So, you're probably
not going to see a really, uh,
Copy !req
388. great show tonight.
Copy !req
389. Man in audience:
Go Hey Now!
Copy !req
390. Okay.
Copy !req
391. Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank,
Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank,
Copy !req
392. Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank,
Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank, Hank...
Copy !req
393. All right, all right.
Copy !req
394. All right.
Copy !req
395. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
396. So... you wanna do this?
Copy !req
397. Yeah!
Copy !req
398. I mean, you wanna do this?
Copy !req
399. Yeah!
Copy !req
400. Okay, we've got George Wendt,
Angela Lansbury,
Copy !req
401. Jeff Cesario.
Copy !req
402. Hey now,
don't go away!
Copy !req
403. We're clear.
Copy !req
404. Now you go to the chair.
Copy !req
405. The chair.
Copy !req
406. The chair.
Copy !req
407. No, no, your chair.
Copy !req
408. Give it a go.
Copy !req
409. No, no.
Copy !req
410. Okay.
You're great.
Copy !req
411. Okay.
Copy !req
412. 'Cause I love this man.
Copy !req
413. I love this man.
Hey!
Copy !req
414. This guy.
Copy !req
415. Thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
416. Uh, well, I think you have
an embarrassing, uh, incident
Copy !req
417. that happened
somewhere in, uh...
Copy !req
418. Hank.
Amsterdam?
Copy !req
419. What are you doing
with those cards?
Copy !req
420. They told me to read the cards.
Copy !req
421. Hank, you don't have to
read those things.
Copy !req
422. Come on, give me those things.
Copy !req
423. What have you got here?
Uh...
Copy !req
424. What do you have here?
Come on.
Copy !req
425. Hank...
Copy !req
426. cards are a crutch.
Copy !req
427. They're a crutch.
Copy !req
428. There goes—
thank you and good night.
Copy !req
429. Hank—
We will—
Copy !req
430. You don't need
the cards.
I need those cards.
Copy !req
431. Larry— Larry needs the cards.
This man doesn't need 'em.
Copy !req
432. He's wonderful.
Copy !req
433. Hank just...
Copy !req
434. Yay!
Yeah, Hank!
Copy !req
435. Yeah!
Copy !req
436. Good job, good job.
You did it, Hank!
Copy !req
437. I have to be honest,
I— I thought we were gonna
Copy !req
438. have to warn people
to watch this show
Copy !req
439. through a pinhole
in a piece of cardboard.
Copy !req
440. But you made it, buddy.
Oh, man, thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
441. Thank you, everyone.
Copy !req
442. Oh, man,
I'm tired.
Copy !req
443. Now I know why Larry
is so fucked up.
Copy !req
444. Listen, you go home,
you get some sleep.
Copy !req
445. You deserve it.
Darlene, you're gonna drive him?
Copy !req
446. You bet.
Copy !req
447. Okay, folks, let's hear it
for Shadoe Stevens!
Copy !req
448. And the great
Hank Kingsley!
Copy !req
449. Yeah!
Copy !req
450. Thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
451. Thank you,
thank you.
Copy !req
452. Who are you?
Copy !req
453. Good morning, ladies!
Good morning, Artie.
Copy !req
454. What's the news from
the sick bed, Beverly?
Copy !req
455. Oh, well, Artie,
he's over that food poisoning,
Copy !req
456. but last night, he ran into
the bathroom
Copy !req
457. and he slipped and fell
and hit his head on the john.
Copy !req
458. Oh, shit.
No, no, he's okay.
Copy !req
459. It's a minor concussion
but it's serious enough
Copy !req
460. to get those painkillers
he's been after.
Copy !req
461. Yay, he's here, everybody!
Copy !req
462. Yay!
Copy !req
463. Thank you,
thank you very much.
Copy !req
464. Easy, easy.
Copy !req
465. Messages?
You were great
last night, Hank.
Copy !req
466. Thank you.
Copy !req
467. As good as Larry,
maybe even better.
Wow.
Copy !req
468. Good morning, my boy.
Still flushed with victory?
Copy !req
469. Yes, I am flushed with victory.
Copy !req
470. You sound a little surprised
I did so well.
Copy !req
471. Oh?
Copy !req
472. I'm glad I'm not
playing poker anytime soon.
Copy !req
473. Hey, Hank?
Yeah?
Copy !req
474. You were great!
Copy !req
475. Thank you.
You were great.
Copy !req
476. Yeah, thanks.
Copy !req
477. Yeah, good job last night.
Copy !req
478. Well, you're very excited.
Copy !req
479. Can you get me a coffee?
No.
Copy !req
480. No, I book talent.
I don't get coffee.
Oh, fine.
Copy !req
481. Well, then, uh, could you book
David Copperfield on the show
Copy !req
482. and when he gets here,
have him pull a cup of coffee
Copy !req
483. out of his ass?
Copy !req
484. Serious.
Copy !req
485. Hank, telephone.
Copy !req
486. It's Larry.
Fucking cup of coffee.
Copy !req
487. Who is it?
I think he wants
to congratulate you.
Copy !req
488. Larry.
Copy !req
489. Hey, how you feeling, buddy?
Copy !req
490. You all right?
Copy !req
491. Mmm, thank you.
Copy !req
492. Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Copy !req
493. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
494. Well, you know, you left me some
mighty big shoes to fill.
Copy !req
495. Oh, come on,
come on.
Copy !req
496. That's very nice of you.
Copy !req
497. Listen, you get back here
Copy !req
498. because no one can
do this show quite like you.
Copy !req
499. Okay?
Copy !req
500. Very good.
Copy !req
501. Very good.
Copy !req
502. Yeah, I'll see you soon.
Copy !req
503. Okay.
Copy !req
504. So?
Copy !req
505. So?
Copy !req
506. Uh...
Copy !req
507. Hank, what are you
doing in here?
Copy !req
508. Well, correct me if I'm wrong,
Copy !req
509. but the procedure is
the guest host gets to use
Copy !req
510. Larry's office, right?
Copy !req
511. Yes, the guest host.
Which you are not.
Copy !req
512. You have an office
of your own, Hank.
Copy !req
513. So come on,
let's get out of here.
Copy !req
514. Run along, come on.
Copy !req
515. Your tone is very grating.
Copy !req
516. Uh, I'd appreciate it if you
switched desks with Darlene.
Copy !req
517. I'd like her a little closer
to me today.
Copy !req
518. Uh, Hank, please,
don't make me mad.
Copy !req
519. And don't you
make me mad!
Copy !req
520. Darlene, sweetheart, I want you
to switch desks with Beverly.
Copy !req
521. Oh, that's okay, Hank.
I love my desk.
Copy !req
522. Uh, Hank, would you like it
Copy !req
523. if I called Larry
about this?
Copy !req
524. Because if I do, you know he'll
give me the go-ahead
Copy !req
525. to kick your balls right out
through the top of your head!
Copy !req
526. Oh, language.
Copy !req
527. What the hell is going on?
Artie!
Copy !req
528. Artie, would you talk
to this woman?
Copy !req
529. Uh, Beverly, thank you!
Copy !req
530. Artie...
Copy !req
531. the guest host gets Larry's
office, is that right?
Copy !req
532. That's right, Hank.
Copy !req
533. I'm sure Richard Lewis
would appreciate it
Copy !req
534. if you weren't sharing
the space with him.
Copy !req
535. Richard Lewis?
Copy !req
536. Yes, Paula and I
talked to him yesterday.
Copy !req
537. He couldn't do it last night.
He wanted to do it tonight.
Copy !req
538. Oh, wow.
Copy !req
539. Hey.
Copy !req
540. Hey, I saved
your asses last night.
Copy !req
541. This is the— the fucking
gratitude I get?
Copy !req
542. I mean, come on.
Copy !req
543. Look in front of your face,
it's me, okay?
Copy !req
544. It's Hank Kingsley.
I can do this job.
Copy !req
545. I can do this job better
than any outside person.
Copy !req
546. Come on, wake up.
Look at the reviews.
Copy !req
547. All right.
Copy !req
548. "Kingsley's winning demeanor
took Sanders' place
Copy !req
549. with relative ease."
Copy !req
550. Look at this one.
Copy !req
551. "Kingsley proved himself
completely maladroit
Copy !req
552. in the host's chair."
Hank.
Copy !req
553. "Adroit" means "able,"
Copy !req
554. "mal" means "bad" or "not."
Copy !req
555. Put 'em together: maladroit.
Copy !req
556. Not able.
Copy !req
557. Capeesh?
Copy !req
558. Beverly, get Larry on the phone.
Copy !req
559. I'm doing that
right now, Artie.
Copy !req
560. I want you
to tell him everything.
Copy !req
561. Oh, no, Artie, I'm gonna save
that maladroit thing for you.
Copy !req
562. Richard Lewis!
Copy !req
563. Hank Kingsley.
How you doing?
Copy !req
564. Listen, I'll—
I'll be real short.
Copy !req
565. I just, uh, I just think
it's great that you're hosting
Copy !req
566. the show tonight.
Copy !req
567. Uh-huh, yeah.
Copy !req
568. You gonna be doing
your usual shtick?
Copy !req
569. Uh...
Copy !req
570. No, no, I love it.
It's just that, um...
Copy !req
571. Ah, I don't wanna get into this.
Copy !req
572. I...
Copy !req
573. Well, it's funny,
because last week,
Copy !req
574. Larry and Arthur were talking
Copy !req
575. and one of them said, uh,
Copy !req
576. that they thought
the, uh, whole
Copy !req
577. neurotic-Jewish-person thing
that you do
Copy !req
578. is, uh, what did they say?
Copy !req
579. "Predictably," uh...
Copy !req
580. "banal."
Copy !req
581. Artie on phone:
I'm sorry to call you when
you're feeling low, buddy.
Copy !req
582. Nah, I'm fine, Artie.
Copy !req
583. I pass out unexpectedly,
Copy !req
584. but other than that, I feel
better than the night
Copy !req
585. we had Jennifer Tilly on.
Copy !req
586. Well, Richard Lewis dropped out.
Copy !req
587. I'm— I'm sure Hank
got on the phone with him.
Copy !req
588. That crazy son of a bitch.
Copy !req
589. I don't think
Richard's that crazy.
Copy !req
590. I think that's just an act.
Copy !req
591. I meant Hank.
Copy !req
592. I don't say this often, Larry,
but I made a mistake.
Copy !req
593. I should've canceled
last night's show
Copy !req
594. instead of putting Hank on.
Copy !req
595. Last night he was
a crying mess...
Copy !req
596. now he's the ass
of the Western world.
Copy !req
597. I think there's only one way
out of this.
Copy !req
598. It's risky, but I really
don't have any other choice.
Copy !req
599. Artie?
Yeah?
Copy !req
600. Hey.
Copy !req
601. What's happenin'?
Copy !req
602. "I think Socks had something
to do with that decision."
Copy !req
603. It's not funny.
I beg your pardon?
Copy !req
604. What word do you
have trouble with?
Copy !req
605. You understand "not."
That's comfortable for you?
Copy !req
606. Yeah.
And "funny,"
you've heard of that?
Copy !req
607. Mm-hmm.
Yeah, this doesn't work.
Copy !req
608. You see, "I think Socks
had something
Copy !req
609. to do with that decision."
Copy !req
610. See, now I'm laughing.
Copy !req
611. Well, uh, laugh loud so you can
cover for the rest of us.
Copy !req
612. Hey, hey.
You like your job?
Copy !req
613. No.
Copy !req
614. Well, watch it.
Copy !req
615. You may go.
Copy !req
616. Oh, may I?
Copy !req
617. Thank you.
Come on, Sid.
Copy !req
618. Watch it, asshole.
Copy !req
619. What, what?
Copy !req
620. You've changed, Hank.
Copy !req
621. There's a darkness around you.
Copy !req
622. Good. It's fine
there's a darkness.
Copy !req
623. Are you okay?
Copy !req
624. I'm gonna
tell you something.
Copy !req
625. I prayed. I mean, I— I actually
got down on my knees
Copy !req
626. and I prayed
that Larry would stay sick
Copy !req
627. so I could host
the show tonight.
Copy !req
628. I mean,
I wished this man unwell.
Copy !req
629. Do you understand that?
Oh, God, Hank, no.
Copy !req
630. And I'm still doing it.
Copy !req
631. I— I hope he gets sick
through the weekend
Copy !req
632. and on until the week after that
and the week after that.
Copy !req
633. Hank, don't!
Copy !req
634. You don't get it, do you?
Copy !req
635. You see, it's not Larry
who is sick.
Copy !req
636. It's me.
Copy !req
637. Yes, it's me.
Huh?
Copy !req
638. I am very sick.
Copy !req
639. I am a sicko.
Copy !req
640. I'm so fucking sick.
Copy !req
641. But...
Copy !req
642. I'm finally
where I belong.
Copy !req
643. Thank you.
Copy !req
644. Thank you.
Copy !req
645. Thank you.
Copy !req
646. Uh, don't adjust your vertical,
don't adjust your horizontal.
Copy !req
647. There's nothing wrong
with your set, it is me again.
Copy !req
648. Okay, here we go.
Copy !req
649. President Clinton announced
we'll be trading
Copy !req
650. tuna with the Japanese.
Copy !req
651. I'm sure Socks had something
to do with that decision.
Copy !req
652. You see, that's interesting
because our— our—
Copy !req
653. our head writer that that was,
uh, you know,
Copy !req
654. a little, uh, off
Copy !req
655. but he's such
a hopeless retard that, uh...
Copy !req
656. Man in audience:
Boo!
Copy !req
657. Easy now.
Copy !req
658. All right, so...
Copy !req
659. Man in audience:
You suck!
Copy !req
660. Take a seat.
Copy !req
661. We'll issue an apology
about the remarks
Copy !req
662. about the mentally challenged.
Copy !req
663. A healthy donation to,
let's say,
Copy !req
664. the, uh, Down syndrome people
wouldn't hurt.
Copy !req
665. And you should send
a gift basket to John Cusack
Copy !req
666. about that remark you made
about his sister.
Copy !req
667. And you should send
three baskets to Lionel Richie.
Copy !req
668. One for each time you called him
Little Richard.
Copy !req
669. Oh, I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
670. It just got away from me.
Copy !req
671. Oh no, Hank,
it really got away.
Copy !req
672. It's down in Bolivia by now.
Copy !req
673. Now, Hank,
what have we learned here?
Copy !req
674. When you're vulnerable
and humble, people like you.
Copy !req
675. And when you act
like an asshole,
Copy !req
676. people tend to think of you
as an asshole.
Copy !req
677. Are you gonna air
tonight's show?
Copy !req
678. No, we'll put on
"The Best of Larry."
Copy !req
679. But I'll always have a copy
of tonight's show close by.
Copy !req
680. Just keep that in mind
next time you wanna
Copy !req
681. throw your weight around.
Copy !req
682. You may go.
Copy !req
683. Larry on the phone:
Is he gone yet?
Copy !req
684. Don't let the doorknob
hit you in the ass.
Copy !req
685. Oops.
Copy !req
686. Was that him?
Yeah.
Copy !req
687. Larry?
Yeah?
Copy !req
688. I think we've learned
some valuable lessons here.
Copy !req
689. One, when you're sick
that close to air,
Copy !req
690. we'll cancel.
Uh-huh.
Copy !req
691. Two, Hank's place
is on the couch,
Copy !req
692. where he does his best work.
Uh-huh.
Copy !req
693. And three,
always let Beverly
Copy !req
694. go into that yogurt shop alone.
Copy !req
695. I'll admit, I—
Copy !req
696. I may have
mishandled this affair
Copy !req
697. but everything turned out
for the best, and—
Copy !req
698. and I think you see
that's gonna be all right.
Copy !req
699. You agree, right?
Copy !req
700. Hey, Artie?
What's happening?
Copy !req
