El Salvadorians, Cambodians.
These kids are amazing...

1:08:05
You're that guy
from the Letterman show, right?

1:08:08
Yeah, that's me.
1:08:10
That's so excellent.
You and Stupid Pet Tricks are a riot.

1:08:15
Yeah? Then how about
you buy one of my comics, man?

1:08:19
That's the only reason
I go on that dumb show, anyway.

1:08:22
Right. Sure. Later, Harvey Pekar.
1:08:26
- What an asshole!
- I want to write a political comic book...

1:08:30
about these kids.
1:08:33
Listen to me. There's a conference
in Jerusalem in a couple of weeks.

1:08:36
I'm gonna start
by doing some interviews there.

1:08:39
Wait a minute.
What are you talking about, Jerusalem?

1:08:42
Lately I can barely drag you off the futon
to go with me to the Letterman show.

1:08:47
Do you want to know why?
1:08:50
Because I don't give a damn
about the Letterman show.

1:08:52
I want to do something important to me,
something that matters.

1:08:58
You know I only go on the show
for the extra bread.

1:09:02
Maybe if you got your lazy ass up,
and got yourself a job...

1:09:06
I could do something that matters, too.
1:09:08
- Harvey, you're yelling.
- You ever think of that?

1:09:21
Don't...
1:09:27
I'm sorry.
1:09:30
Joyce, I'm sorry.
1:09:39
I guess it was good to finally see
Joyce excited about something of her own.

1:09:43
This is crazy. Can't you just
do something here in Cleveland?

1:09:46
You'll survive a couple of weeks by yourself.
1:09:50
All right.
1:09:55
Be careful out there, all right? I love you.
