- Drive-By Records.
Drive-By Records?
Is that a joke? I mean, what is that?
It's a hip-hop label.
Hip-hop? Oh, rap. Right, right.
Well, that's interesting.
Let me see if I get
where you're headed here.
I'm sorry, but look,
I hate rap. I do. I really do.
It's just crude and violent
for my taste...
...not to mention
just a tad misogynistic.
Hey, some people see rap as poetry.
Yeah, but how many words
can you rhyme with "b*tch"?
Next, please.
How we doing?
Should have left
How's the new play?
Are you getting happy with it?
I'm 90 percent hard work,
10 percent talent.
And so far, the talent part
Right. Right.
- What's your play about?
- About?
I'm not exactly sure,
which is a bit of a problem.
But so far, it's about
a divorced woman, a writer.
She's a high-strung, over-amped,
controlling, know-it-all neurotic...
...who's incredibly cute and lovable.
It's a comedy.
So how did you two meet?
At a wine auction at Christie's.
Harry was the big buyer
of the night.
I kept raising my paddle
just to get her to smile at me.
Before I knew it,
I bought the entire collection.
Every known bottle
of Chateau Margaux.
After that, the least she could do...
...was share a bottle with me.
Ever been married, Harry?
No.
- No, I haven't.
- Mom.
Wow. Now, why do you think that is?
Well, some people just don't
fit the mold, and so far, you know...
Hey, if it ain't broke...
- Exactly.
- Wait a second.
Aren't you a famous bachelor?
Well, I wouldn't say I'm famous.
Yeah, didn't I read an article
about you in New York magazine?
I guess some people find it interesting
I've escaped the noose for so long.
That was the title,
"The Escape Artist. "
I read that article.
That was you?
Well, you were once engaged
- Who was it? Joan Collins? No.
- No.
- Okay. Carly Simon?
- Somebody cool like that.
- Someone like that.
- Not Martha Stewart.
- No! Not Martha Stewart!
- You could ask him.
No, this is more fun.
It's like I'm not here.
Harry was once
engaged to Diane Sawyer.
- What?
- Right. Diane Sawyer. I love her.
- I'm impressed.
- Yeah.
Women your age
love that about me.
- You know what I mean.
- Yes, I do.
I mean, it's not a bad thing

Oh, no. I'm sure it was a compliment.
It's just...
...an accurate observation. It's...
- So when was this?
- The engagement?
- Long time ago.

Never understood her ending up on a
