1:04:00
You gotta be naturalistic as hell.
1:04:02
If you're a bad actor,
that's bullshit in this job.

1:04:07
What is this?
1:04:08
That's an amusing anecdote
about a drug deal.

1:04:13
Something funny that happened to you
while you were doing a job.

1:04:17
I gotta memorize all this?
There's four pages of this shit.

1:04:21
Think about it like it's a joke.
1:04:23
Memorize what's important.
The rest you make your own.

1:04:26
You can tell a joke,
can't you?

1:04:29
Well, pretend you're Don Rickles...
1:04:31
and tell a joke, all right?
1:04:33
The things you gotta remember
are the details.

1:04:36
The details sell your story.
1:04:38
This particular story
takes place in a men's room.

1:04:41
You gotta know
all the details--

1:04:44
whether they got paper towels
or a blower to dry your hands.

1:04:47
You gotta know if the stalls
ain't got no doors or not.

1:04:51
You gotta know if they got liquid soap
or that pink, granulated shit...

1:04:54
they used in high school.
1:04:56
You gotta know if they got
hot water or not, if it stinks...

1:04:59
if some nasty, lowlife,
scum-ridden motherfucker...

1:05:02
sprayed diarrhea
all over one of the bowls.

1:05:04
You gotta know every detail
there is to know about this commode.

1:05:08
What you gotta do is take
all them details and make 'em your own.

1:05:13
While you're doing that, remember
that this story is about you...

1:05:16
and how you perceived
the events that went down.

1:05:20
The only way to do that...
1:05:22
is keep sayin' it...
1:05:24
and sayin' it and sayin' it.
1:05:30
This is during
the L.A. marijuana drought, 1986.

1:05:35
I still had a connection,
which was insane 'cause...

1:05:38
you couldn't get any weed
anywhere then.

1:05:42
Anyway, I had a connection with
this hippie chick in Santa Cruz...

1:05:45
and all my friends knew it.
1:05:47
They call me and say,
"Hey, Freddy--"

1:05:51
I say, "Hey, dude.
1:05:55
You gettin' some?
Can you get some for me too?"

1:05:58
They knew I still smoked,
so they asked me to buy some for them.
