American Express.

I'm Danille, how may I help you?

it's something, like, for...

(STUTTERlNG)

(ALL SNlCKER)

But two times in a row I eat

the damn roast beef and I'm...

I can't stop going to the bathroom!

MAN:
Well, I'm sorry, but

there's nothing I can do for you.

MAN:
Ma?

And my son thinks I'm crazy.

Ma, who you calling?

It's Jerry's. And don't

tell me not to call them.

Jesus Christ, get off the f***ing phone!

Don't talk to me that way!

Get off the f***ing phone!

What's going on?

MAN:
Same thing as the last time.

Did she... What'd she call you about?

The roast beef? Yes.

All right, she just

puked in the kitchen.

That's all right. I suggested

that she doesn't eat roast beef

if it doesn't agree with her.

(WOMAN SNlCKERlNG)

I... I appreciate your

suggestions, but I love roast beef.

It's delicious!

Go clean up the mess!

GlRL:
Hi, Mr. Simmons.

Ladies.

George Simmons, man!

Can I get a picture?

Yeah, yeah. You got it ready? All

right, hit me, baby, all right.

Get a little tittie in there. Come on.

How are you? You're really funny.

Thank you. You're funnier.

(SPEAKS GlBBERlSH COMlCALLY)

Hello. Hi!

Gentlemen. Gentlemen. Hey, what's up?

GEORGE:
Hey. How are you?

Hey, handsome. Doctor.

How are you, kid?

How are you, baby?

(CLEARS THROAT)

The Lunestas are working, baby.

Those are smooth. No hangover.

Fall asleep, bam. F***ing what

was the deal with the Restorils?

Why did you give me those? You

trying to f*** with me or something?

George, we got the results back from

the follow-up of your blood count

and it's not what we hoped for.

As I mentioned earlier,

the CBC was abnormal.

Your white blood cells were four

times the size that they should be.

And very low hemoglobin,

seven grams per deciliter.

I don't understand what

you're saying right now.

Can you speak how people speak?

You have a very serious

disease. It's called AML.

It's a form of leukemia and I can't

predict how this will play out,

but I feel you have a

rough road ahead of you.

That's George Simmons, right here.

George! George! George Simmons!

Hey, man! How, how you doing,

man? I'm a big fan of yours.

(lNAUDlBLE)

I'm sorry to say we're past the

point where traditional structures

Iike chemotherapy and radiation

would be effective at all.

DR. STEVENS:
And I think it's best for

us to pursue an experimental course.

CHUCK:
Here you go, ma'am. Your tamales.

Thanks for shopping

at Otto's. Yo, Chuck,

I'm going up at the Comedy

& Magic Club doing stand-up.

You should come watch me.

Don't let him suck

you in. He's not funny.

Nah, he's right, man. No way,

man. That sh*t was painful.

I mean, it was hard

watching you suffer up there.

I had f***ing nightmares after that.

That was a long time

ago. That was months ago.

I've gotten a lot funnier since then.

Then you bored my wife to sleep.

I couldn't get no p*ssy that night, man.

Don't blame me for your p*ssy issues.

Are they gonna pay you? Pay me? No!

That's just how it starts. You

don't get paid in the beginning.

You gotta, you know, work

your way up through the ranks.

My n*gger, how the f***

you in show business

when you got no business to show?

I'm supposed to be writing jokes.

I'm supposed to be doing comedy.

I'm not supposed to be

making macaroni salad.

I hate it, man. It's

depressing. Otto's sucks!

You don't know about no

motherfucking hard time, man.

I'm a ex-convict, man. Otto's

the only place that would hire me.

You too good for Otto's now?

I'm not too good for it.

I just don't... It's not

for me, you know, I'm sorry.

See that bridge? 1,200 bucks.

Okay.

On the house, man! Otto,

man! Otto's my lotto.

Come on, man, look. I can't

work here anymore, all right?

What, you gonna be on TV

or some sh*t like that?

I am gonna be on TV. The chunky

guy on Survivor or some sh*t?

No, I'm gonna be like Seinfeld.

Get the f*** out of here, man!

You ain't gonna be like Seinfeld.

Seinfeld's my motherfucking man!

Now Kramer,

Kramer gets a pass from me

'cause Kramer's my n*gger.

Well, very forgiving of you.

Look, as a friend, man,

let me tell you something.

You're not funny. I think I'm funny.

I got new jokes, man, and they're good.

Let me hear one of your new jokes.

Okay, I got one like,

I'm really good at Guitar

Hero, you know, on PlayStation,
