1:12:06
Just walk straight out to the desk.
1:12:08
I know. Okay, fine.
1:12:10
- You all set?
- Yeah.

1:12:13
I was starting to lose it.
1:12:16
Between the lump, the loneliness,
I felt like everything was closing in on me.

1:12:22
And with Joyce over there
saving the world...

1:12:24
I never felt more like a sell-out hack
in my life.

1:12:28
Okay.
1:12:31
You know, folks, if it really is true
that misery loves company...

1:12:35
our next guest must always have
a house full of people.

1:12:39
Okay, asshole.
1:12:42
You're gonna pay for that one, man.
1:12:45
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome back Harvey Pekar.

1:12:50
Harvey, this is not the forum.
This is not Meet The Press.

1:12:53
You just want me to talk about
simple-minded bullshit, David.

1:12:56
- I ain't co-opted like you. I got things to say.
- Relax, Harvey.

1:12:59
For instance, I want to talk about
a conflict of interest situation.

1:13:02
Can we do that, David? How about that?
1:13:04
You know,
like GE owning this network, NBC.

1:13:07
GE has basically become
a military, industrial, financial...

1:13:11
Can we get the singing shitzu back here?
Has he left the building yet?

1:13:15
You think NBC news is gonna cover
what they do fairly?

1:13:17
- I got other things I wanna talk about.
- That's enough...

1:13:20
Just shut up, man! Don't push me.
1:13:22
- I'm doing my own thing.
- Harvey, this is not...

1:13:25
Are you afraid of the truth, David?
1:13:26
It's not about what you're saying.
It's about your choice of venue.

1:13:30
It may come as a shock to you,
but this is a comedy show.

1:13:33
- Not tonight, it ain't.
- Joe, come check this out.

1:13:36
Take your winning personality
and go get your own show.

1:13:39
- I don't want my own goddamn show.
- We've had you on this show many times.

1:13:43
You sulk, complain,
and promote your comic book...

1:13:45
and you really haven't been appreciative.
1:13:47
You didn't do me any favors, okay?
1:13:50
I'm still a file clerk.
I've always been a file clerk...

1:13:54
and it's no thanks to you
or to your goddamn pathetic audience.
