:05:01
Yes, love.
:05:03
Not with me as Tolstoy.
:05:06
You gotta work.
:05:08
There's no excuse for not working.
:05:10
There's no excuse.
There's unemployment.

:05:13
There was unemployment when
my friends and I started acting.

:05:16
And it's not changed.
:05:18
You got 90-95% unemployment.
It's never going to change.

:05:21
You're an actor.
You're in New York.

:05:24
There is no work.
But you gotta find ways to work.

:05:27
Two tortellinis,
a gazpacho with two salads.

:05:30
Ordering: Veal chop, medium,
two scrods, an order of chicken!

:05:34
One scrod underdone.
:05:36
-What's the rest?
-Baked potato.

:05:39
-How'd it go?
-Terrible.

:05:40
-Did you rewrite the last scene?
-I did the necktie scene.

:05:43
How is it?
:05:44
It'll change theatre as we know it.
:05:47
We'll work on it
when we get home tonight.

:05:49
That's my flounder.
:05:51
-That is my flounder.
-Robber!

:05:52
-Ordering: One flounder--
-That's for the customer!

:05:55
I eat these things so if the
customers ask if I eat his food...

:06:00
...I can say, "Yeah, I eat his food."
:06:04
You rewrote the necktie scene? Good.
:06:06
-Without the necktie?
-With the necktie.

:06:09
-With the necktie?
-Yeah, with the necktie.

:06:11
The necktie's wrong. You take the
necktie out, you got something.

:06:16
-What's wrong with you?
-What's wrong with me?

:06:18
What's wrong is it's depressing
to be disagreed with.

:06:22
It's depression.
:06:24
Today's your birthday,
and you haven't mentioned it.

:06:27
Don't start. I'm a character actor.
Age has no effect on me.

:06:31
-That's very good.
-How does one not be depressed?

:06:34
Instead of trying to be Michael Dorsey,
the great actor or the great waiter...

:06:39
...why not just try to be
Michael Dorsey?

:06:41
I am Michael Dorsey.
What's the payoff?

:06:43
-Say it like you mean it.
-I am Michael Dorsey. Fine. Okay?

:06:48
Surprise!
:06:56
Speech! Speech! Speech!
:06:58
Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait a minute.
