Monday night is audition night.
Anybody from anywhere...
1:41:05
...can come up here and do
what they want.
1:41:07
You should see what walks in the room.
1:41:10
Some of the people that started here
were David Brenner...
1:41:13
...Jimmie Walker...
1:41:14
...Gabe Kaplan, Freddie Prinze.
Maybe this next young man might...
1:41:19
...watch them on television.
1:41:21
Please welcome the comedy stylings...
1:41:25
...of Ralph Garci, ladies and gentlemen.
1:41:32
Yay, Ralph!
1:41:35
Thank you.
1:41:37
Like Richard said,
my name is Ralph Garci.
1:41:40
I'm a professional asshole.
1:41:45
I see we have a few
amateurs in the audience.
1:41:50
I have some--
1:41:51
Some. I have all of my friends here
tonight. From P.A. graduating class.
1:42:00
It's very important to have friends.
1:42:03
I live in the South Bronx.
1:42:06
That's the country just north of Harlem
and west of Puerto Rico.
1:42:10
It's a very tough neighborhood.
1:42:12
The dogs carry knives.
1:42:16
Did you ever see a baby
with a zip gun?
1:42:19
You gotta have friends. You can't
alienate anybody up there. Nobody.
1:42:24
Black people, white people, Chicanos,
Puerto Ricans, cockroaches.
1:42:28
You gotta respect cockroaches.
They got a good union.
1:42:31
Last week, 15,000 marched down my
block demanding better housing.
1:42:37
But I love the South Bronx.
Everywhere you go from there is up.
1:42:42
Everybody has dreams in the
South Bronx. I had dreams.
1:42:47
Stop your average boy
on a South Bronx street...
1:42:51
...and ask him
what he wants to be.
1:42:53
"I want to be an ex-junkie, man."
1:42:58
You can see them every day.
1:42:59
You can't drive because of the dreams
on the streets being seen by cokeheads.
