And that what you did...

was very brave

and compassionate...

and that I should both

apologize to you and thank you.

Hey, Frank...

isn't that Phil Donahue?

Put the magazine down

before you hurt yourself.

Okay, Harold?

So, are you married?

No.

Not personally, no.

Me neither.

Are you really connected?

I know guys.

Guys know me.

I put money on the street, people know

to pay me back on time as a rule.

They call me

"Frank The Money Store."

You hear of me?

No.

I suppose that's good.

Although my therapist says I crave

recognition more than accomplishment.

Maybe that's why I do stand-up.

What the hell?

I own the club.

What do you think of my act?

I heard two Buddy Hackett jokes,

a Pat Cooper, and a half a Lenny Bruce.

Another thing,

you know...

I was watching you

and it's all shooting out at people.

Sometimes you should aim in.

Make a joke at your own expense.

Otherwise it looks,

kind of like...

It comes off kind of hostile,

you know what I mean?

That's Phil f***in' Donahue.

All right, let the body heat

coming up through your hand...

warm up the cognac.

Give it a little swirl.

Take a little sniff.

Nice, right?

Okay, take a sip,

but hold it.

Don't gulp it.

Just let it leak

back down your throat.

- I know how to drink cognac.

- Okay.

Hello. Not now.

Cheers.

My wife?

She thinks f***ing and cooking

are two cities in China.

I thought you said

you weren't married.

Where'd you hear that?

I just made that up.

- Bullshit.

- Go ahead. Use it.

Don't ever,

ever f*** with me.

Don't ever lie to me...

disrespect me,

underestimate me.

If you do, your life

becomes a raging sea.

But come to me like a man...

come to me eyes open,

head up, hand out...

then I become more than a friend,

more than a shoulder.

I become the expediter

of your dreams.

That's beautiful.

Get the hell in the car, Wayne.

What if it rains?

I wish I was a handsome man.

What?

I wish I was brave.

I wish I was...

I wish I had real...

real guts.

You wish you were

a brave, handsome man?

No offense, but that sounds

a little immature.

Sh*t, I wish a lot of things,

but l...

You don't know.

Nobody... You don't know.

You don't always talk

to other guys like this, do you?

What'd I say?

- Nothin'.

- What'd I say?

Nothin'.

You're really good, man.

You know, I wish

I was a real photographer.

Not just like a...

I don't mean

police work or weddings.

- I mean...

- You mean like an artist.

You know, I get this feeling

me and you...

We both wanna be someplace else.

You know what I mean?

Not me.

Okay.

Not you.

This guy

looks like William Holden.

One time I went down to see

this group show with photographers...
