:02:02
ReaIIy?
:02:03
That audience sat there
Iike they were an oiI painting.
:02:06
I don't know why.
AIways works when I do it.
:02:08
You do that joke?
maybe that's where I got it from.
:02:12
When I broke into
this business in New York,...
:02:14
..I couId pIay at Ieast 1 2û to 2û0 weeks
a year without Ieaving the city.
:02:18
- There was the Latin Quarter...
- The China DoII.
:02:20
- China DoII...
- Queen's Terrace.
:02:23
- PIayed the BouIevard...
- What about Jersey? The Stagecoach...
:02:27
- LampIighters.
- Riviera, BiII miIIer's.
:02:29
Look how far you have to go. You went
to Washington. I went to BaItimore.
:02:34
- You gotta have good tyres to work today.
- Or a good car.
:02:38
The first impression I did,
I went to see The Seventh Veil.
:02:41
I didn't want to become an impressionist.
I was trying to deveIop an EngIish accent.
:02:46
The idea of impersonating James mason
was the furthest thing from my mind.
:02:50
Out came this impression and
I've been doing impressions ever since.
:02:53
- But this thing is aII in the mask, right?
- And then I did Picasso for a few weeks.
:02:58
You know the first time
I saw you do mason?
:03:00
It was backstage at the SuIIivan show.
You were briIIiant.
:03:04
I was there with Danny Rose.
Remember Danny Rose?
:03:06
He was handIing an actor - the manager -
and a one-Iegged tap-dancer.
:03:10
It was his normaI handIing.
Danny Rose. Yeah. Oh, he's the best.
:03:14
may I say one word? might I just interject
one concept at this juncture?
:03:19
You're Iookin' for somebody
for memoriaI Day weekend.
:03:22
my bIind xyIophone pIayer, OK?
The man wouId be perfect for your room.
:03:26
- Ah, forget it.
- PhiIIy, wiII you pIease hear me out?
:03:30
The man is a beautifuI man.
He's a fantastic individuaI.
:03:34
my hoteI gets oId Jewish peopIe.
They're bIind.
:03:37
- They ain't gonna pay to see a bIind guy.
- So forget that, then.
:03:40
How about Herbie Jayson's birds?
Herbie Jayson's birds.
:03:43
They're IittIe birds. They peck tunes out
on a piano. It's a beautifuI thing.
:03:48
What about my one-Iegged tap-dancer?
Take him for a weekend.
:03:52
- AII right, my one-armed juggIer.
- Not for my hoteI!
:03:55
AII right, what about Lou Canova,
my ItaIian singer? He'd be great.
:03:59
Lou Canova's a dumb, fat, temperamentaI
has-been with a drinking probIem.
