I walk home...
Im all scratched up, Ive got
blood all over my face...
Im crying my eyes out.
My mother sees me and she runs up
screaming, ''Who did this to you?''
I tell her, ''Stevie Bellon jumped me
from behind in the school yard...
while his pals stood there and
made sure no one broke it up.''
So take a guess what
my Mom does?
She takes me back
to the school yard...
she finds Stevie and tells him
that Im gonna fight him again...
only this time it's gonna be
a fair fight.
Your Mom booked
your fight.
Well, me and Stevie, we stood
there looking at her...
like she was waiting for us
to make up or something.
Then she pulls me aside
and looks at me...
and tells me
to rip his heart out.
She said, ''Rip his heart out''
to an eight-year-old?
-And?
-And I got him pretty good.
and watched?
she pulled me off of him.
Good for your Mom.
I salute her.
lf more parents took those steps
during child developmental years...
we wouldn't have a country
filled of emotional cripples...
those touchy feely, angst-ing head
cases afraid of their own shadows.
Exactly.
I say ''Buck up, baby.
its cold outside.''
I think it's time
for a cab home.
''Annie Hall''.
Denzel Washington?
Who could it be?
Julia Roberts?
Darryl Hannah?
Darryl Hannah...
''Blade Runner''.
''Blade Runner''.
Harrison Ford.
''Star Wars''.
James Earl Jones.
James who?
James Earl Jones,
Darth Vader.
You cannot use
Darth Vader.
I can't use Darth Vader?
Of course I can.
No, you cannot. He was a voice,
some computerized echo chamber.
lf he's in the credits,
he counts.
He wasn't even on the set when
they were shooting the movie.
Come again?
Bet you any money he was
sipping pina coladas by the pool
with some 17-year-old girl.
James Earl Jones?
While some poor slob was sweating
his ass off under the costume.
A few months later, he throws his
voice and walks out with a check.
You're a cook
in a restaurant, right?
I wondered if you'd been invited to
any James Earl Jones' pool parties.
I may not be
in the movie business...
but I have cable.
I know what a stand-in's for.
They're called ''doubles''.
Same difference.
No Darth Vader.
The only rule to the game is
the guy appears in the credits.
James Earl Jones's name
appears in the credits...
therefore he's
a correct response.
He's been in about fifty
movies. Give me a second.
''Star Wars Two''.
What are you laughing at?
You said sequels were good.
There's no such film.
Yeah, there is. Like, that smart
-''Yogi''.
-Yoda.
Yoda.
Same thing.
The sequel wasn't called
''Star Wars Two''.
it wasn't?
it wasn't called
''Star Wars Two''?
it was the ''Empire'' thing...
the ''Empire''...
the ''Empire''...
the ''Empire''...
That's four-zip.
-How much closer can you get?
-The correct answer would be closer.
Let's see...
''Cape Fear''.
-Robert De Niro.
-The original.
What original?
its a classic film with
two huge stars, major stars.
Ill give you a hint:
Nineteen Sixty-One.
Nineteen Sixty-One
is a hint?
Kirk Douglas?
Chariton Heston?
Nineteen Sixty-One,
Bing Crosby?
-Bing Crosby?
-Yeah, Bing Crosby.
Bing Crosby in
''Cape Fear''?
What? They made a lot of
musicals back then.
Gregory Peck,
Robert Mitchum...
and Telly Savalas
in a small supporting role.
I told you before.
I work...
Major film producer.
I know. You told me.
Don't be a sore loser.
