<v Speaker 2>Ni, mister.

<v Speaker 1>You see that guy with it now?

4
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 2>He's an actor at the phone.

5
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm a driver and the only camp driver in his place.

6
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.479

<v Speaker 2>you this evening, HP.

10
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm a huge fan of Foo.

11
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Foo Naughty Naughty? Wasn't that a John Parr song? Naughty naughty?

12
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>The guy who did say it? Almost fire?

13
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Please me? No? Yeah, now.

14
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 2>We're talking taxis. In three, episode fifteen, Bobby's roommate, ooh mystery.

15
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Who's going to be the roommate? This is written by

16
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Earl Pomerants. I wish that that sweet basement apartment he's got.

17
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Man, Yeah, man, I would squat in there. I'd lie

18
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>change the locks. When he was gone. It would be mine.

19
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 1>It's say here, here's your stupid Gemini poster.

20
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 2>So it's written by Earl Pomerants and directed, of course

21
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>by James Burrows. Reminder, we're doing these shows in broadcast

22
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 2>order and not in order of filming. By the way,

23
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 2>this is this episode. Fatherlone is one of the earliest

24
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 2>produced for this season right this This episode was produced

25
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.040
<v Speaker 2>before the episode even with Tony's Sister, which I believe

26
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 2>was the second broadcast episode of this season, but it

27
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>wasn't broadcast until much later in the season.

28
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>What were they hoping that they didn't have to air

29
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>this one?

30
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 2>Again? I get people, certain people saying to me, why

31
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 2>do you have to always talk about the broadcast order?

32
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 2>This is why this was one of the earlier episodes,

33
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 2>yet it came very late in the sea. So there

34
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 2>you go. We cut inside the garage as Tony and

35
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Alex and Elaine are pouring over newspapers. Jim ambles over

36
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.520
<v Speaker 2>asks what's going on In the typical Jim fashion. Elaine

37
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 2>tells Jim that she can't find the apartment, that she's

38
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 2>lost her apartment. This leads to a very predictable joke

39
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>about how Jim sometimes can find his apartment for days.

40
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>You look in Brooklyn because that's usually where mine turns up.

41
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a good joke.

42
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 2>Actually, as usual, I can't do these jokes.

43
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Apartment is in Brooklyn. Again.

44
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to make it sound like Christopher Lloyd

45
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>doesn't kick ass as always as Jim, because he does.

46
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 1>For him here because this is the best part of

47
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>this episode.

48
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 2>I disagree. We'll proceed here. Elaine and Alex correct him

49
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>that they're apparently turning Elaine's apartment into a co op,

50
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 2>which she can't afford, so she's looking for a new apartment.

51
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. Has she lost her apartment and her kids?

52
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because they never come up at all. I guess

53
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 2>we just one time. It's a little odd, like we

54
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 2>have to presume that maybe because of this issue, maybe

55
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 2>they went to live with her ex husband. I would assume.

56
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

57
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I assumed that as well, but shame on the show

58
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 1>that I had to.

59
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And here's the thing. It's not as if you

60
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>can make the excuse that this is summer vacation and

61
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 2>the kids are are not around, because it's made very

62
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 2>clear that this is happening in the winter because there's

63
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 2>snow and ice involved. So you're right, I don't know

64
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>what happened to the kids this episode.

65
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they're at boarding school because Elaine can afford that, right,

66
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>I think their kids are her kids are hanging out

67
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 1>with that kid from the Bad News Banners who shut up.

68
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>In season one, when Louis was bragging about how we

69
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>put one over on that kid. Remember Tanner showed up.

70
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>In one episode, Alex tells Elane, don't worry. If you need,

71
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 2>you can crash on my couch for a couple of nights.

72
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>She says, thanks, but the couch isn't that comfortable, And

73
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 2>eventually it comes out that both Tony and Elaine fell

74
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 2>asleep on Alex's couch while he was showing slides of

75
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 2>his ski trip. Now side note here father alone. Remember

76
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>when slides were a thing? Did you ever have to

77
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>sit through a bad slide show of like a family

78
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>member on a trip?

79
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 1>I did. I don't think a family member ever did,

80
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 1>but I'm friends and neighbors slide shows. I certainly had

81
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>to sit there. The funny thing is it's always portrayed

82
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 1>in every movie and television show as this, as this

83
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 1>sort of put upon moment of you know, I met

84
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>with a huge sigh. Oh my god, we're gonna have

85
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>to sit through their goddamn vacation photos. I loved it.

86
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't get enough of it. Oh my god, we're

87
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna turn off the lights, We're gonna draw down this screen,

88
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna turn on this fucking machine that whirrs and

89
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna drop in and look. I eventually became a projectionist,

90
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 1>so maybe this is just me.

91
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 2>They were kind of like the original PowerPoint when you

92
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 2>think about it, right, because you'd be projecting the sequence

93
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 2>of slide. I mean, that's why they call them slides

94
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 2>in a PowerPoint presentation. But I can, like you, I

95
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.079
<v Speaker 2>can still smell the light bulb, the smell of a

96
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 2>light bulb morning God, yes, right, the hum of the machine,

97
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 2>the carousel of slides that you'd see go around.

98
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>It was.

99
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 2>This is something that has gone and will never come back.

100
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 2>But something was lost, I think, and it not being

101
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 2>being around anymore.

102
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 1>And if you haven't seen the final episode of season

103
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 1>one of Madmen called the Carousel, which is about the

104
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 1>very first carousel slide machine, you shall check that out.

105
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that. Okay, that's interesting.

106
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 1>It's not a slide machine, HP, it's a time machine.

107
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>You can go back and forth in time.

108
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Tony also offers his couch to a Lane, but she

109
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>refuses to impose on either of them. Another side note

110
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:56.759
<v Speaker 2>for the this to me is peak a lane right here.

111
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 2>Not only does she look great in a maroon blouse

112
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 2>and dark slacks, but her hair is styled as beautifully

113
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 2>as it ever has been.

114
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Look, she's just a beautiful creature. I can't I can't

115
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>judge one look over another. I just know that you

116
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't dress her in red, that's all.

117
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, but she looks good here. She's got this

118
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:16.839
<v Speaker 2>maroon dark blouse.

119
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:18.639
<v Speaker 1>She looks maroon.

120
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>She looks good.

121
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>They worked out their problems with the Red with Elaine

122
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>over the seasons. They figured out what didn't work and

123
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.759
<v Speaker 1>what does they did?

124
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 2>They did so. Tony asks Elaine if she could just

125
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>sleep on her latest boyfriend, Steve's couch. She says it's

126
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 2>a little too early in the relationship and she doesn't

127
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.040
<v Speaker 2>want to scare Steve off. Of course, this leads to

128
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Tony making a joke about how bad she must look

129
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>in the morning. I'm not going to rehash it, but

130
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of a lame joke. Just then, an excited

131
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Bobby runs into the garage.

132
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Which can be only one thing.

133
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.600
<v Speaker 2>What is it? What does it mean? He's got a role,

134
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.920
<v Speaker 2>He's got the job, That's what he keeps saying. He's

135
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.279
<v Speaker 2>going to be performing a whole month on tour, performing

136
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 2>in the play under the Yum Yum Tree, which I

137
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 2>told you before this episode was recorded. I said, I

138
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 2>thought that was just a silly play on desire under

139
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.160
<v Speaker 2>the Elms, which they make a joke about, but apparently

140
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Father Malone. Under the Yum Young Tree is an actual

141
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Broadway play.

142
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 1>And a feature film with Jack Lemon.

143
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>It was described by Wikipedia as a quote American sex comedy.

144
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>It was.

145
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.720
<v Speaker 2>It was a play in nineteen sixty was adapted as

146
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 2>a film in nineteen sixty three.

147
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Like you saipeaking of mad Men, this is prime Madmen

148
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 1>territory because this type of First of all, Robert I'm

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.959
<v Speaker 1>very bitter, cynical take advertising. Anyway. Yeah, I watched Under

154
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the Tree just it just so happened to come on

155
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>after I watched this episode, I went, this is what

156
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.959
<v Speaker 1>it is because the title made it seem like it

157
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 1>was going to be something at least very serious or

158
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.319
<v Speaker 1>not what it is, which is are you professor women

159
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>lack sex too. It's like one of these situations. Like

160
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like Carol Linley moves into into a building that's

161
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>like a swinger's pad that like the landlord is Jack Lemon,

162
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>who's like the king of the swingers, and but swingers

163
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.960
<v Speaker 1>by the way, meaning nineteen sixty three's version of it. Yeah,

164
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>they're all listening to, you know, Dean Martin on the

165
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 1>turntable and drinking martiniz and shit together.

166
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Wearing Nehru jackets. Probably in some some capacity.

167
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Man, it seems like such hell, to be honest with you.

168
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.559
<v Speaker 2>But he Jack Lemon's like a little Thario in this right,

169
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 2>He's he's on the make. He wants to sleep with

170
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 2>the tenants in his building. I think that's that's the plot, right.

171
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a play set in Hugh Hefner's world. You know,

172
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:06.320
<v Speaker 1>the playboy revolution that was occurring is the direct forebear

173
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 1>of Under Them Young Dream.

174
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Sure. So this is the play that Bobby's going to

175
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:12.759
<v Speaker 2>be acting in. And because Bobby's going to be on

176
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.399
<v Speaker 2>tour for an entire month, this means that Elaine can

177
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 2>crash in his apartment while he's away. So everybody, everybody wins.

178
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Tony asks what Bobby's going to do to celebrate, and

179
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.039
<v Speaker 2>without even thinking, Bobby says He's going to rub Louie's

180
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 2>nose in it. And this I liked because this is

181
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.320
<v Speaker 2>again prime Louie. Here. Bobby goes over very smugly and

182
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.080
<v Speaker 2>tells Louie that he just got a real acting job.

183
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 2>But Louie, Louie's so perceptive, he knows where this is

184
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:41.159
<v Speaker 2>going to go, so he says, like Bobby, that's great.

185
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 2>He seems very happy. He says, I would have announce

186
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 2>it over the PA.

187
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I owe it to you for.

188
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Giving you all hard time all those years. So he

189
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 2>takes the microphone down and he announces. Bobby, of course,

190
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 2>is trying to keep him from doing that because he

191
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.519
<v Speaker 2>knows this isn't a big deal, but Louie insists he's

192
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 2>going to make up for all the times he stuck

193
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.480
<v Speaker 2>it to Bobby. Louis makes a long speech where he

194
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:08.480
<v Speaker 2>paints Bobby as having the lead in a major Broadway production.

195
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Bobby corrects him that it's just a tour, so Louis

196
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 2>corrects his announcement to say that it's a major part

197
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>in one of the greatest tours in theatrical history. Like

198
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I said, Louis obviously knows Bobby's part is Penny Ante,

199
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.679
<v Speaker 2>and it's awesome to see him patronize Bobby like this. Eventually,

200
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Bobby sheepishly corrects him again, and Louie's final correction mentions

201
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>that he's got a tiny part and a sleazy production

202
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>in three trailer parks, which is awesome. And then that

203
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.159
<v Speaker 2>infuriates Bobby and he starts reaching through the cage and

204
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 2>what have you. As we cut to Bobby, you were

205
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>talking about slanky bachelor pads. We cut to Bobby's basement apartment,

206
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 2>which we've seen before, and Tony, Alex, and Elaine are

207
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 2>living the sweet life. They're all sipping wine. They're talking

208
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.159
<v Speaker 2>about what a great job Elaine has done fixing the

209
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.799
<v Speaker 2>apartment up side. Note Elaine, here, father Malone. I don't

210
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>know if you notice. She is dressed like a sexy ghostbuster.

211
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 2>She's got an olive jumpsuit with red sleeve accents. Only

212
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:10.240
<v Speaker 2>thing missing is a proton pack.

213
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 1>And that is a very good description of what she's wearing.

214
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.799
<v Speaker 1>Here's how I would describe it. What the fuck is

215
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>she wearing? Oh wait, she's cleaning, so maybe this is

216
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>just her cleaning jumpsuit. Oh no, this is actually what

217
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.279
<v Speaker 1>she would walk out of the house wearing. This is

218
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.879
<v Speaker 1>what they think that she would wear. That's what I thought.

219
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 2>The jumpsuit is almost like something kind of New Wavy.

220
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:38.120
<v Speaker 2>If you put Blondie or Debbie Harry in this same jumpsuit,

221
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:42.120
<v Speaker 2>it's a party. It totally fits. But it is a

222
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 2>little weird that she's just trumping around the apartment in

223
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Speaker 2>this very exaggerated looking jumpsuit with red sleeves.

224
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Elaine's not hanging out at the mud club.

225
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Alex Is, like I said, very impressed with how nice

226
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Bobby's apartment looks after she's been there a week. It's

227
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>been a week. I have to that bear mentioning. As

228
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.039
<v Speaker 2>she's puttering around, who walks in but Bobby. He's toting

229
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.919
<v Speaker 2>a suitcase. And by the way, Bobby is wearing a

230
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 2>fleece jacket with the highest collar I've ever seen in

231
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.000
<v Speaker 2>my life. When it's zipped up all the way, it

232
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 2>completely covers his neck, it's all the way up to

233
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:18.720
<v Speaker 2>his chin.

234
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 1>It's Blade Runner twenty forty nine.

235
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>And what was his name, Ryan Gosling was a k

236
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Was that his name?

237
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:26.960
<v Speaker 1>In that movie?

238
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's something that comes right out of the future.

239
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.279
<v Speaker 2>It's very odd. They're all like, Bobby, what are you

240
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>doing home? I thought you were going to be out

241
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.879
<v Speaker 2>a month. And Bobby initially tries to play off his

242
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.559
<v Speaker 2>early return, but it turns out that he was kicked

243
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.960
<v Speaker 2>off the tour in Florida because he was messing around

244
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>with the costume girl on the bus ride down to Florida.

245
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 1>And that's the director's daughter.

246
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's very much in character with Bobby, and

247
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:53.639
<v Speaker 2>I kind of like the fact that this is a

248
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:58.600
<v Speaker 2>return to the lothario, the ne'er do well Bobby. The

249
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.159
<v Speaker 2>only thing missing is the mane of hair that he

250
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.519
<v Speaker 2>used to have. This is the loveman leaving Bobby and

251
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm here for it. Turns out he was only in

252
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Florida for a day, but it took him three more

253
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.120
<v Speaker 2>days to get home, so he basically just he was

254
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.120
<v Speaker 2>three days down, got kicked off the three days back.

255
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.639
<v Speaker 2>That's why he was gone only a week. Elane brings

256
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.000
<v Speaker 2>up the fact that she still doesn't found an apartment,

257
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.639
<v Speaker 2>so it might be a little problematic, but Bobby is

258
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 2>totally cool. He says, you know what, you can have

259
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.440
<v Speaker 2>the bedroom and I'll take the sofa, no problem. But

260
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:34.120
<v Speaker 2>then Tony and Alex looked very askants at this arrangement,

261
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:37.639
<v Speaker 2>suspecting that Bobby, being the hound dog that he is,

262
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.559
<v Speaker 2>might take advantage of a lane, which is not truthfully,

263
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>not out of character for Bobby.

264
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, you're not buying this.

265
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.399
<v Speaker 2>I can already tell father alone. I'm a little bothered

266
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:48.960
<v Speaker 2>by your reaction.

267
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Here we go. This is fucking flipped a switch as

268
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 1>soon as he as soon as Bobby walked in, he

269
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.919
<v Speaker 1>should have said, it's gonna be a sitcom from here

270
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 1>on out. Everybody, I think you're.

271
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Being too hard, but we'll get into it. Bobby does

272
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.919
<v Speaker 2>his best to convince both Tony and Alex that, hey,

273
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, Elaine's my friend. She's going to stay here.

274
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.039
<v Speaker 2>But and even Elaine is a little annoyed at the

275
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:16.360
<v Speaker 2>inference that something might happen between the two of them.

276
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Tony and Alex leave, but they keep talking outside of

277
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:25.080
<v Speaker 2>the apartment, just behind like a shade, and Bobby goes

278
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.919
<v Speaker 2>over and kind of flips it. It's awesome physical comedy.

279
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.559
<v Speaker 2>He flips the shade up and it goes up perfectly

280
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.200
<v Speaker 2>like it, you know, goes all the way up, exposing

281
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Tony and Alex, who smile and look in and they're like,

282
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.080
<v Speaker 2>do you think they hurt us? Hell yeah? As we

283
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.039
<v Speaker 2>fade the commercial, see I do. Here's the thing. I

284
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:46.039
<v Speaker 2>know where you're going with this, father Malone. I know

285
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.000
<v Speaker 2>you're you're Your main gripe is going to be the

286
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.799
<v Speaker 2>tired premise of you know, oh, something's going to happen,

287
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:54.480
<v Speaker 2>like like a Three's Company episode.

288
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.519
<v Speaker 1>For lack of a better term, This isn't threes Company.

289
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.360
<v Speaker 1>These are adults on taxi on season three, and they're

290
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 1>what worried about her virginity. Here's here's how this episode

291
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.600
<v Speaker 1>happens in the real world. I don't know, leaving you

292
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>two alone the way you are, Bobby, Oh, give me

293
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.519
<v Speaker 1>a fucking break. Yeah, give us a fucking break, you two,

294
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.519
<v Speaker 1>And what happens if we do? Fuck? What are you

295
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:21.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna do about it? Who gives a shit? Shut the

296
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>fuck up and go back to the garage. Thanks guys.

297
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.919
<v Speaker 2>When it comes time to grade this episode, fall and

298
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you and I are going to have very different opinions.

299
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:33.159
<v Speaker 2>But again, let's let's let's soldier forward. Here we fade

300
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:36.840
<v Speaker 2>in on the same wintry. We've seen this b roll before.

301
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.440
<v Speaker 1>We saw this in a in a fucking Randall Carver episode.

302
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.879
<v Speaker 2>That's right, it was. It was from season one where

303
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.039
<v Speaker 2>there's like a plow taking snow off the sidewalk.

304
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.480
<v Speaker 1>It's ange and I remember saying to you, then it's

305
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 1>nice to see a winter bit of b roll not

306
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:59.200
<v Speaker 1>connected to a Christmas episode, like because there is there

307
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:01.559
<v Speaker 1>inclement what there in New York. That's a nice touch.

308
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>It's no longer a nice touch.

309
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So anyway, this is our clue that winter is

310
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.000
<v Speaker 2>returned to Sunshine Cab. We cut inside the garage where

311
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Jim and Tony are hanging out. They're hanging around that

312
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:20.679
<v Speaker 2>center cement pole where the phone is. Tony is still yes,

313
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually gonna I'm absolutely gonna mention it. There they're

314
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 2>still grousing about Tony's grousing about how he doesn't trust Bobby.

315
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Jim starts in on a lament about the changing times,

316
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.720
<v Speaker 2>how he talks about orgies, naked people in public places,

317
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:40.679
<v Speaker 2>but in vaudeville fashion. He's actually wistful for the sixties

318
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:46.039
<v Speaker 2>and not describing how soulless, you know, society has become nowadays.

319
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Whatever side. Note, this is what you're talking about. Tony

320
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:52.080
<v Speaker 2>gets from gets up from his seat he's sitting on,

321
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.159
<v Speaker 2>like a trash barrel or something.

322
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's doing a tough guy Tony bullshit move here

323
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>he is, but he's sitting sitting every Wherever there's a

324
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.279
<v Speaker 1>flat surface, Tony's ass will eventually land.

325
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:07.559
<v Speaker 2>So he gets up from whatever he's sitting on, an

326
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.039
<v Speaker 2>oil can or something. And the thing is, it took

327
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:13.359
<v Speaker 2>me years to notice this, but I'm now I can't

328
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:17.759
<v Speaker 2>unsee it. He he bumps the cement pole, the supposedly

329
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 2>cement pole, as he's walking over to Alex. The thing shakes,

330
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Father Malone. Is that what you're talking about?

331
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Absolutely? And you know what, speaking of things pointed

332
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>out in previous episodes, if any of you want to

333
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:30.839
<v Speaker 1>go back to the pilot episode and listen to my

334
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.640
<v Speaker 1>description of how awesome this set is, I point out

335
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:38.319
<v Speaker 1>that fucking column and specifically and how fucking realistic it

336
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:41.160
<v Speaker 1>looks and how it grounds the entire set. Leave it

337
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to Tony Danza to fuck that shit up. VERI similitude, no,

338
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>thank you.

339
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.400
<v Speaker 2>It instantly takes you from the garage to this is

340
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:52.880
<v Speaker 2>just the this is this may as well be a

341
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.119
<v Speaker 2>play that you're watching in a theater somewhere, because it's

342
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.880
<v Speaker 2>so jarring. It's almost like a glitch in the matrix

343
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.759
<v Speaker 2>when you see because it still looks to all observers

344
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.640
<v Speaker 2>like a cement pole with graffiti all over it and

345
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:12.079
<v Speaker 2>a fucking phone attached to it. But no, Tony's gonna

346
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:17.039
<v Speaker 2>shatter that, that illusion that we've grown so accustomed to.

347
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.359
<v Speaker 1>So although let's really blame James Burrows, who should have

348
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 1>known better to cut away right, yeah, maybe cut to anything.

349
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:29.279
<v Speaker 2>It basically destroyed the whole illusion. But what are you

350
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna do? Alex tries to talk to Tony and give

351
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Bobby the benefit of the doubt, and just then Bobby

352
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:39.759
<v Speaker 2>hustles in from from outside into the garage. He I

353
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:41.519
<v Speaker 2>talked about this in the last episode. He's got a

354
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.200
<v Speaker 2>newspaper over his head because it's snowing outside. And what

355
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I loved about this is that the newspaper is actually wet.

356
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.720
<v Speaker 2>When he shakes the snow off of it, it looked

357
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.400
<v Speaker 2>so realistic, like it wasn't like the you know, your

358
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 2>typical a it's just you know, painted flakes of something

359
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.960
<v Speaker 2>that's supposed to represent snow. This looked like real snow

360
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:06.359
<v Speaker 2>that he's sloughing off into the garage.

361
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I love that. I did too. I was surprised Tony

362
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Banta didn't come walking in with a snow machine that

363
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.079
<v Speaker 1>was making the props backstage, just to point out that

364
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>that's fake too.

365
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:19.920
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna ruin every illusion in the episode.

366
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.319
<v Speaker 1>I would love that actually if later on Tony just

367
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.400
<v Speaker 1>sort of like comes walking up and like moves the

368
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>camera to like point it at the audience.

369
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.319
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Yeah, you see, this isn't a garage. Tony

370
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:35.599
<v Speaker 2>goes over to Bobby and he basically says to Bobby, look,

371
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 2>you tell me that you're not doing anything with the

372
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Lane or you got no no intentions with Lane. I'll

373
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:46.960
<v Speaker 2>believe you. And Bobby assures him that I'm telling you

374
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:51.319
<v Speaker 2>nothing's happening, and Louis pokes some fun at Tony's gullibility.

375
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Elaine comes in and tells Alex that she and Bobby

376
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.960
<v Speaker 2>have really been bonding over the past week or so,

377
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:01.160
<v Speaker 2>but the sounds of it, it's ma built around her

378
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:06.000
<v Speaker 2>asking Bobby about himself again in typical egotistical Bobby fashion,

379
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.400
<v Speaker 2>but they're enjoying each other's company as She continues to

380
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:10.119
<v Speaker 2>crash there.

381
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.640
<v Speaker 1>As anyone would you know, like hanging out with somebody

382
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and never really hung out with them before you know,

383
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, Oh my god, they are adults

384
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.480
<v Speaker 1>who aren't just going to start fucking for no reason.

385
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.680
<v Speaker 2>They are they are so the phone rings, Jim goes

386
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.920
<v Speaker 2>over to answer it. It's evidently Elaine's new boyfriend, Steve.

387
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:28.160
<v Speaker 2>She goes over to talk to him while she's on

388
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:32.000
<v Speaker 2>the phone. And this is another warning signs that Laca

389
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:36.359
<v Speaker 2>isn't quite as sweet and innocent as you think he is.

390
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Laca relates to Alex that in his country, what Elene

391
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.559
<v Speaker 2>and Bobby are doing is actually common. He says, a

392
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.720
<v Speaker 2>man and a woman shacking up is no big deal.

393
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.440
<v Speaker 2>He says that they make love in every possible way

394
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:54.079
<v Speaker 2>to see if they still want to get married after that,

395
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:58.400
<v Speaker 2>and Alex replies, that's a very sensible tradition Latka, and

396
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Laca says, now, if we only we could get the

397
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.920
<v Speaker 2>women to buy it. This is so dark. It makes

398
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:10.720
<v Speaker 2>him seem like this lonely, sad, sex starved, sex obsessed,

399
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.599
<v Speaker 2>a little man working, you know, living in this odd

400
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:15.720
<v Speaker 2>place called New York.

401
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, they do say that on shows, writers tend to

402
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>write to the actor.

403
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.440
<v Speaker 2>That's well. What we know of any Andy Kaufman is

404
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:29.279
<v Speaker 2>that he was an odd character, no question, And I'm

405
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.400
<v Speaker 2>sure he was probably delighted with this twist.

406
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I bet he loved all the weird bullshit they kept

407
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:36.920
<v Speaker 1>giving him this season. You know. Yeah, I'm sure if

408
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.440
<v Speaker 1>he didn't instigate it himself, it's it's great.

409
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.799
<v Speaker 2>So then Elaine hangs up the phone. She's shaken, and

410
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:46.279
<v Speaker 2>I think we all know where this is going to go.

411
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Alex goes over and asks her, and she replies that

412
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Steve essentially broke up with her over the phone. Alex

413
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:57.240
<v Speaker 2>goes into caring Alex mode, and he says, they're all

414
00:21:57.240 --> 00:21:59.440
<v Speaker 2>going to be let's all go to Marios and we'll

415
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:01.759
<v Speaker 2>talk it out. But Elaine says she just wants to

416
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.400
<v Speaker 2>go home, which begs the question, by the way, why

417
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.480
<v Speaker 2>would she come in to work a shift, get this

418
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:09.720
<v Speaker 2>call and then just say fuck it, I'm going home?

419
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Did she not? Yeah, but she's got to work, she's

420
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:14.200
<v Speaker 2>got to earn money.

421
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:16.759
<v Speaker 1>No, she does. She doesn't have any responsibility.

422
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:20.119
<v Speaker 2>It's not like she has no kids, no kids anymore.

423
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Alex says he isn't sure that she should go home

424
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>and be alone right now, and Elaine corrects him, I'm

425
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.519
<v Speaker 2>not going to be alone. Bobby will be there. That

426
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:31.200
<v Speaker 2>sets off another warning done.

427
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Dum Pole's company. Uh oh, what did mister Furley hear?

428
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh you're being so harsh, she says. Bobby can be

429
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.440
<v Speaker 2>really understanding about stuff like this. Bobby, now you know

430
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Alex's warning bells are going off. You can see it

431
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.440
<v Speaker 2>in his face. Bobby walks past Alex, and Alex cautions

432
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Bobby that Elaine is feeling very vulnerable after her breakup

433
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.839
<v Speaker 2>and he's concerned that she might come on to Bobby,

434
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:00.720
<v Speaker 2>and this alarms Bobby, who assures that he's going to

435
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.519
<v Speaker 2>be on the lookout tonight. And as a final button

436
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to the scene and a final bit of this, just

437
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.440
<v Speaker 2>when you think Laca can't get any more perverse, he

438
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:15.000
<v Speaker 2>goes over to Alex, and Locke says he worries that

439
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Elaine might drown her problems in a shameful night of

440
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:22.039
<v Speaker 2>lust and passion with the first man that she comes across,

441
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:25.680
<v Speaker 2>and he says, if it's not Bobby, could you give

442
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:29.319
<v Speaker 2>her my phone number? Wow, Loca was such a fucking

443
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:33.960
<v Speaker 2>creep before simca entered the picture. We fade into Bobby's

444
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:36.720
<v Speaker 2>apartment at night. All the lights are off.

445
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:40.119
<v Speaker 1>L no, no, not my turn. Like here's where she

446
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:42.920
<v Speaker 1>finally realizes reason.

447
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Sure, reason, calm, cool, reasoning. Yes, that's from do you

448
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.279
<v Speaker 2>remember what that that shows? Brady?

449
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Wait, I was going to say, oh, okay, there you

450
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 1>got it.

451
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.200
<v Speaker 2>So we we fade into Bobby's apartment. It's night, it's

452
00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:58.920
<v Speaker 2>all the lights are off, it's dark. Elaine walks in.

453
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:03.920
<v Speaker 1>She's wearing sexy and sexy pajamas just just you know,

454
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>these shiftless real flannel jum.

455
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. She walks in. She she's asking Bobby if he's awake.

456
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:14.839
<v Speaker 2>Bobby kind of snaps awake and he goes, oh, and

457
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 2>he's already on his guard about this whole situation. Elaine

458
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:21.799
<v Speaker 2>says that she can't sleep. She asks if there's any

459
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.799
<v Speaker 2>more wine. Boy, they're drinking a little wine in this episode.

460
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen so many people drink so much wine

461
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:30.400
<v Speaker 2>in the course of a sitcom episode.

462
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.839
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, Well, you qualified it with sitcom, but I was

463
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:36.599
<v Speaker 1>just about to say, we did watch the four seasons, that's.

464
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:38.799
<v Speaker 2>But there was so much more there. They were eating

465
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.279
<v Speaker 2>bread by the handful, like eating it, like it's like

466
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 2>a piece of fruit. Just ah, just loving that bread.

467
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Sure nobody really gets drunk in that movie.

468
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 2>I thought they got high, but I guess they really didn't.

469
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:53.400
<v Speaker 2>They were just high on life ultimately. But anyways, Bobby

470
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.079
<v Speaker 2>is kind of panicked a little bit. He gets up,

471
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:59.640
<v Speaker 2>he gets he gets fully dressed. He even tells Elane

472
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.240
<v Speaker 2>to wear robe over that neglige. I mean, it's a

473
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:06.039
<v Speaker 2>pair of flannel pajamas. There's nothing over at least sexual

474
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:06.759
<v Speaker 2>about them at all.

475
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know. And at the same time, it's you know,

476
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 1>it's Marilyhanna in fucking pajamas, So it's automatically sexy. But

477
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:16.240
<v Speaker 1>that's not because of anything she's trying to do or

478
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:17.319
<v Speaker 1>put out put out.

479
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:20.599
<v Speaker 2>Sure, it's a fair point. She's just a very attractive person.

480
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:24.319
<v Speaker 2>So she says to Bobby that this whole Steve thing

481
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:27.440
<v Speaker 2>has hit her pretty hard, and she asks if they

482
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:31.000
<v Speaker 2>can talk about it. Bobby, after initially trying to speed

483
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:35.759
<v Speaker 2>through the conversation, he tells Elaine that Steve, obviously, if

484
00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:38.119
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna break up with her over the phone, it

485
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.319
<v Speaker 2>just proves that he didn't deserve her in the first place.

486
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:44.559
<v Speaker 2>And Elaine is touched and she goes over to hug Bobby,

487
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.039
<v Speaker 2>tell him how sweet he is, and I love he

488
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.880
<v Speaker 2>gets this comical revulsion on us. He recoils in horror.

489
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Simpsons fans will get this reference think on sexy thoughts.

490
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Part of the reason I love this episode so much

491
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:02.599
<v Speaker 2>is I feel like it's it's been forever since Jeff

492
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Conaway had anything to do on a Taxi episode except

493
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:09.119
<v Speaker 2>be the guy at the card table who says, yeah,

494
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:12.119
<v Speaker 2>go talk to Louis or something inane like, not really

495
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.359
<v Speaker 2>having any real purpose in an episode. In this, we're

496
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.279
<v Speaker 2>getting vintage Bobby here.

497
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:22.079
<v Speaker 1>And I love that. I totally agree he's been really

498
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:24.599
<v Speaker 1>absent this is and I think that's a I think

499
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:27.119
<v Speaker 1>that's a conscious choice by the producers at this point.

500
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:31.759
<v Speaker 1>But clearly, if this episode was early enough, then you

501
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:34.839
<v Speaker 1>know it sort of evaded capture.

502
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:38.240
<v Speaker 2>I love Jeff Conaway in this. It really feels like

503
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.200
<v Speaker 2>a return to form. Although even though I know that

504
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 2>he's on his way out effectively from Taxi, Delady says

505
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 2>that she has a special bottle of wine that she

506
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.599
<v Speaker 2>wants to share with him on this occasion. She's feeling

507
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 2>very close to Bobby again before she disappears into the bedroom.

508
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 2>She kind of looks lovingly at Bobby and says, I'm

509
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:02.759
<v Speaker 2>so glad you're here, and again he gets this look

510
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:06.359
<v Speaker 2>on his face like, uh, he's anything but excited about

511
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:11.519
<v Speaker 2>this prospect. So when she disappears, Bobby hardly calls up

512
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Alex on the phone and has enough time before she

513
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:18.119
<v Speaker 2>comes back to say Alex, Elaine is all over me.

514
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:20.680
<v Speaker 2>And then he's got to hang up because she walks

515
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:25.000
<v Speaker 2>back in and she asks him, you know who are

516
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:28.559
<v Speaker 2>you talking to? And he makes a joke about how oh,

517
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:30.599
<v Speaker 2>it's just my dad, and she says, this is your

518
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker 2>dad dead, and he says, well that maybe that makes

519
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.640
<v Speaker 2>up for all the times I never called him when

520
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:39.759
<v Speaker 2>he was alive. It's a bad joke, but he's trying

521
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:42.880
<v Speaker 2>to think on his feet. He's very worried about the situation,

522
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:44.119
<v Speaker 2>try to protect her.

523
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:46.039
<v Speaker 1>I think how funny this scene could have been if

524
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 1>it was just Jeff Conaway and Marilyn Henter, where he

525
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:50.880
<v Speaker 1>thinks she wants to fuck him and she knows he doesn't,

526
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.279
<v Speaker 1>and then it's just comedy of manners between the two

527
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.039
<v Speaker 1>of them. Oh my god, how that could have been anyway.

528
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.640
<v Speaker 2>I still think it's funny. So finally Bobby comes clean

529
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:04.119
<v Speaker 2>to her and says they shouldn't do this, and she says, well,

530
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:05.839
<v Speaker 2>what do you mean? What do what? He says, come

531
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:08.720
<v Speaker 2>on now, look like he points out the wine, the

532
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 2>soft lights, and he even says that flimsy flannel thing

533
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:15.599
<v Speaker 2>that you're wearing, and Elaine just scoffs at the idea.

534
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Then here's where the old Bobby really comes out. He says,

535
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:22.799
<v Speaker 2>almost word for word, he says, hey, babe, I've been around,

536
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:25.200
<v Speaker 2>I have had a lot of experience, and you and

537
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:30.319
<v Speaker 2>I were on the road to naughty naughty. Elaine is

538
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.519
<v Speaker 2>like naughty naughty, and he says, look, you and I

539
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:39.799
<v Speaker 2>were that close to doing fu fu, Which it's funny.

540
00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you could admit that it's funny that he's

541
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:44.759
<v Speaker 2>he's trying to It would be easy for him to say, look,

542
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:46.079
<v Speaker 2>we were this close to fucking.

543
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>But you know, this part of the episode I enjoyed.

544
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:54.200
<v Speaker 2>It's funny that he's coming up with these euphemisms for sex.

545
00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Try to this scenario where he thinks she wants to

546
00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:59.720
<v Speaker 1>fuck him, and she's just like, are you nuts? I'm

547
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:02.279
<v Speaker 1>just it's appreciating you as a friend here you dummy.

548
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:06.200
<v Speaker 2>So she yeah, So she gets angry and she says

549
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.599
<v Speaker 2>to Bobby, look, we've had a great relationship these past

550
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:10.640
<v Speaker 2>few weeks, and then when I come to you for

551
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:12.720
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of friendship and a little sympathy, you

552
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:17.920
<v Speaker 2>give me this. And he finally he apologizes and he says, oh, man,

553
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I lay, I feel like a jerk. And he basically

554
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.680
<v Speaker 2>asks her, look, can we just forget this all happened?

555
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:27.000
<v Speaker 2>And she says all right. She kind of lightens up,

556
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:28.480
<v Speaker 2>and she says, all right, well, where's that wine? And

557
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:31.480
<v Speaker 2>then with a laugh, they agree, and just as she

558
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:35.400
<v Speaker 2>starts opening the wine, Alex comes barrowing down those steps.

559
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:37.559
<v Speaker 2>You can see that it's snowing outside. By the way,

560
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.000
<v Speaker 2>it's no longer a dribble dribble draft situation. It actually

561
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:46.000
<v Speaker 2>is coming down steadily right, So it looked great. So

562
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Alex bursts in and literally breaks the whole door down

563
00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:53.920
<v Speaker 2>as he's great stunt. It is an awesome stunt, and apparently,

564
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.519
<v Speaker 2>according to the Lovey's book, it wasn't supposed to break

565
00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:59.720
<v Speaker 2>the way it did. He was just supposed to open

566
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:02.799
<v Speaker 2>the door. And you know, he literally breaks the door

567
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.720
<v Speaker 2>off of the hinges or off the gym. You can

568
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:06.359
<v Speaker 2>see it.

569
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Looks like the chain lock splinters off the doors. What

570
00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>it looks like.

571
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a great stunt. And the audience loves it.

572
00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 2>They're they're they're laughing like crazy. Alex comes in, he's

573
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:21.680
<v Speaker 2>he's wearing he's in pajamas. He's got no shoes, no socks,

574
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 2>no slippers, nothing, He's in bare feet and he just

575
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:27.680
<v Speaker 2>has he clearly had just enough time to throw on

576
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:32.079
<v Speaker 2>like a big wool coat and just over his pajamas,

577
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.559
<v Speaker 2>and his hair's all wet because it's been snowing.

578
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:39.759
<v Speaker 1>It's a great Yeah, you're correct. Throughout this entire episode,

579
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:43.079
<v Speaker 1>whoever's work in physical effects is doing a fucking fantastic job,

580
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:47.400
<v Speaker 1>because everything looks great except when Banta kicked that fucking Columny.

581
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.480
<v Speaker 2>That's the one thing that kind of they lost. It's true.

582
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.880
<v Speaker 2>He basically ran twenty six blocks to Bobby's apartment. He

583
00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.559
<v Speaker 2>lost his slippers in a snow bank, and he keeps

584
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 2>him playing that he's got frostbite. He say ask Bobby

585
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:05.079
<v Speaker 2>do you have anything in your medicine cabinet for frostbite?

586
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:07.119
<v Speaker 2>And he goes, oh, I got some socks school, so

587
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.319
<v Speaker 2>he goes off to get some socks for Alex. Elaine

588
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.160
<v Speaker 2>figures out that the phone call that Bobby made just

589
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.000
<v Speaker 2>a few moments ago was to Alex, and Alex and

590
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Bobby both say they're only looking out for a lane,

591
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:24.480
<v Speaker 2>which makes her even more mad, and justifiably so.

592
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:25.759
<v Speaker 1>I love this.

593
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:28.240
<v Speaker 2>You can't really call it like a monologue, but what

594
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:32.599
<v Speaker 2>she says back to them really encapsulates everything that's wrong

595
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:35.079
<v Speaker 2>with what they've been doing. She points out the double

596
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:38.599
<v Speaker 2>standard to them that she resents, the implication that, you know,

597
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:42.240
<v Speaker 2>she's an emotional female, so of course, in their eyes,

598
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:44.880
<v Speaker 2>she's going to lose control, but men are always on

599
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.599
<v Speaker 2>top of things. She really lets them have it deservedly so,

600
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:51.920
<v Speaker 2>and all they can do is sit there, sheepishly and

601
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:52.400
<v Speaker 2>take it.

602
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:54.799
<v Speaker 1>She should have thrown them out at this point, by the.

603
00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:57.119
<v Speaker 2>Way, Well she's not heartless.

604
00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:58.599
<v Speaker 1>I just think it would have been funny that it's

605
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:00.319
<v Speaker 1>not her apartment and she throws them out.

606
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 2>That would have been funny, but it wouldn't have been

607
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:06.279
<v Speaker 2>in character, because, as we'll see, she's aware of how

608
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:09.559
<v Speaker 2>how heartless that would be. Alex points out that he

609
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:11.519
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have even come if not for the call that

610
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Bobby made. And Bobby says, I wouldn't have called if

611
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:17.519
<v Speaker 2>you didn't tell me that she was going to come

612
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:19.519
<v Speaker 2>on to me like a mack truck in the garage.

613
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:23.359
<v Speaker 2>That's right. I never said anything about truck. So there's

614
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:25.720
<v Speaker 2>more arguing back and forth between Alex and Bobby, and

615
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Elaine finally just says, look, Alex, why don't you just

616
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:33.640
<v Speaker 2>stay Because Alex finally says, I guess I'm gonna go.

617
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:36.240
<v Speaker 2>I should go, and she says, no, don't go out.

618
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Stay here. It's ridiculous. You're not dressed for the weather

619
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:41.039
<v Speaker 2>and spend the night.

620
00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:44.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, could give him a ride back to his apartment.

621
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:46.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't think they don't. I don't think they

622
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:48.759
<v Speaker 2>have cars. I mean maybe Elaine does.

623
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:51.759
<v Speaker 1>No, if only they knew somebody who worked it it.

624
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:54.720
<v Speaker 2>A taxi service.

625
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:56.799
<v Speaker 1>Suit wasn't like that. That would be weird.

626
00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:59.799
<v Speaker 2>He's complaining a lot about how cold his feet are

627
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:02.559
<v Speaker 2>and how much he doesn't want to go back. I

628
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:05.480
<v Speaker 2>think she's just like, look, it's late, it's three in

629
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.079
<v Speaker 2>the morning, for God's sake, Like that's it's ridiculous. Don't

630
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:13.000
<v Speaker 2>go out, stay here. Whatever, Alex finally just says, look, Elaine,

631
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:14.559
<v Speaker 2>the only reason we would have done any of this

632
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:17.359
<v Speaker 2>is because we care about you, and they all three

633
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 2>of them sit down for a glass of wine. She

634
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.920
<v Speaker 2>opens the bottle of line up and they all agree

635
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:25.160
<v Speaker 2>to each other that they've had a really rough week.

636
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Elaine says she lost the boyfriend, Bobby says he lost

637
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the job, and Alex says he lost feeling in eight

638
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:36.319
<v Speaker 2>of his toes. End of episode. That is Bobby's roommate.

639
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Now we're going to talk about yellow lights.

640
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:40.720
<v Speaker 1>What does a yellow light meant?

641
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Reminder, we're scoring on a scale of one to five

642
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:48.799
<v Speaker 2>yellow lights. One is the worst a taxi episode can be.

643
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:51.519
<v Speaker 2>In five is the best that it can be. And

644
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.079
<v Speaker 2>as further as is our custom father alone, we're going

645
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:56.640
<v Speaker 2>to kick it to you. What do you give Bobby's

646
00:33:56.720 --> 00:34:00.359
<v Speaker 2>roommate two yellow lights? Two?

647
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:04.799
<v Speaker 1>It's not the worst, but god damn it, it's bordering.

648
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:08.360
<v Speaker 1>It's only saved by the performances here and the amazing

649
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:11.159
<v Speaker 1>practical effects. If we had half lights, it would get

650
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:13.639
<v Speaker 1>a half light, maybe a turn signal or something. But

651
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:19.280
<v Speaker 1>this episode, everyone's motivations here is super fucking Season one.

652
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know their relationships are well beyond this kind

653
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of nonsense. This absolute fucking sitcomery usually fallom alone.

654
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:32.440
<v Speaker 2>It seems like lately you'll give a score and I'll

655
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:34.440
<v Speaker 2>say something like, oh, we're not that far off, you know,

656
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:37.440
<v Speaker 2>two and between two and three yellow lights. In this case,

657
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.119
<v Speaker 2>we could not be more diametrically opposed. I gave this

658
00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:45.119
<v Speaker 2>five yellow lights. Father alone proudly gave it five yellow lights.

659
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:48.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm red, I'm giving this one yellow light.

660
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's unfortunate, because to me, this is a stellar

661
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:58.800
<v Speaker 2>ensemble episode. Everybody has laughs in this Everybody has something

662
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:01.360
<v Speaker 2>to do. Even Louis has few good jabs that he

663
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:04.199
<v Speaker 2>gives it. Some of the Caves locup, pops up doing

664
00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:07.599
<v Speaker 2>his weird perverse thing that he's into these days. The

665
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:09.920
<v Speaker 2>thing of it is, ultimately, I hear what you're saying

666
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:13.920
<v Speaker 2>that this is a bit cliched of a sitcom plot,

667
00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:18.039
<v Speaker 2>But what I took from this is that this episode

668
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.119
<v Speaker 2>has a lot of great things to say about this

669
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:24.599
<v Speaker 2>paternalism that the Caves obviously feel towards a Lane, and

670
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:27.920
<v Speaker 2>how unwarranted it is, and how it makes them ultimately

671
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.480
<v Speaker 2>act foolishly in the face of all of this because

672
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:33.320
<v Speaker 2>you're right. They should have known better. They should have

673
00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:39.000
<v Speaker 2>trusted a Lane to not be this crazy emotional being

674
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:40.480
<v Speaker 2>that they paint her out to be, and they should

675
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:43.639
<v Speaker 2>have trusted Bobby. Maybe he would have grown a little

676
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:46.880
<v Speaker 2>bit of a conscience and not taken advantage of a

677
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Lane or assumed that he would. To me, this is

678
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:52.719
<v Speaker 2>as good. This is one of the episodes that I

679
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:57.079
<v Speaker 2>returned to fairly often because it's got great laughs. Not

680
00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:59.960
<v Speaker 2>every episode has to be to have some sort of

681
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:04.639
<v Speaker 2>heaviness attached to it has to be some groundbreaking piece

682
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:09.159
<v Speaker 2>of television writing it. Sometimes you just want a burger

683
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:13.039
<v Speaker 2>from McDonald's and you don't need a steak from Ruth's, Chris.

684
00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I just want something fun that's going to make

685
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:18.320
<v Speaker 2>me laugh and that I can appreciate on that level.

686
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:20.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's this episode for me, Five yellow lights for me.

687
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So what you're saying is you've had occasion where you've

688
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:28.360
<v Speaker 1>had a hamburger from McDonald's that you would say that

689
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:34.519
<v Speaker 1>was a perfect hamburger. No burger could be better than

690
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:39.159
<v Speaker 1>that hamburger I just received at the drive through at McDonald's.

691
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Not at all. I'm saying that sometimes that's what you're

692
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.400
<v Speaker 2>in the mood for and that is the best thing

693
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:47.400
<v Speaker 2>that you could have at that moment. It doesn't make

694
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:50.320
<v Speaker 2>it the best meal I've ever had. It means I

695
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:53.719
<v Speaker 2>was in the mood for a McDonald's hamburger, and fuck yeah,

696
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:55.920
<v Speaker 2>that thing was the best thing I ate that day.

697
00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I loved it. Yes, if i'd gone.

698
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:05.000
<v Speaker 1>To Danza kicked a column in this episode and we

699
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.239
<v Speaker 1>had a conversation about it that was as long as

700
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the episode itself, tell me it's a perfect episode. Again, Look, that's.

701
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:14.800
<v Speaker 2>That's regrettable, and I wish I could unsee that, but

702
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:15.320
<v Speaker 2>I can't.

703
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:18.599
<v Speaker 1>HB is giving four yellow lights for this one, everybody.

704
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:24.320
<v Speaker 2>From HP, I'm sticking with five. Someone hopefully got reprimanded

705
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:25.960
<v Speaker 2>for that because it was a It was a shame

706
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:30.599
<v Speaker 2>on that episode. But again, sometimes you just want something

707
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:33.880
<v Speaker 2>nice and easy and fun. This episode gave it to

708
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:37.400
<v Speaker 2>me in spades, Father Malone. Five yellow lights for me,

709
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:41.280
<v Speaker 2>one yellow light from you. I rarely do we have

710
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:45.360
<v Speaker 2>such a gulf between our scores, Father Malone. It's been

711
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:47.000
<v Speaker 2>a long time since this has happened.

712
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's been a long time since we've had an

713
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.119
<v Speaker 1>episode this bad that you're so wrong about.

714
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.239
<v Speaker 2>Five yellow lights for myself, one yellow light from Father Malone.

715
00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:57.599
<v Speaker 2>This is gonna do it for this episode of Night
