I wouldn't want to live his life,

0:00:130:00:15

cos he hasn't been happy all of his life.

0:00:150:00:17

All I think is, if you can find work, stay healthy,

0:00:170:00:20

find somebody to share it with,

0:00:200:00:21

you're the ultimate success.

0:00:210:00:23

He's had some of the pieces of the puzzle,

0:00:230:00:25

You wrote me your last letter

on hotel stationery.

0:01:400:01:41

Oh. Uh, it's great to see you, Pen.

You look...you look beautiful.

I came to take you back to California with me.

0:01:540:01:57

Uh, no.

0:01:570:01:59

It's a lonely state without you.

0:01:590:02:02

I'm home, Red.

0:02:020:02:03

I can't wait forever for you to marry me.

0:02:110:02:15

Well, apparently, I can,

0:02:150:02:17

But I really don't want to.

'It was 1981,

0:03:080:03:11

'and I had holed myself up in this New York hotel,

0:03:110:03:15

'the Phoenix Hotel,

0:03:150:03:16

'terrified of everything, ashamed of my life...

0:03:160:03:20

'..until, finally, I realized my salvation

0:03:240:03:27

'might be in recording my wasted life unflinchingly.

0:03:270:03:30

'Maybe it would serve as a cautionary tale.

0:03:310:03:35

'And maybe it would help me understand why.

'When I was 11, I had an experience

0:03:440:03:46

Hey. What?

Tuvia. What?!

0:03:480:03:49

You want to lick it?

0:03:490:03:51

No. Why should I?

0:03:510:03:54

Well, for one thing, it tastes like strawberry.

0:03:540:03:57

My sister tells me you love strawberries.

0:03:570:03:59

Yeah, well, I hate strawberries.

0:03:590:04:01

No, I'm serious.

0:04:010:04:03

It tastes exactly like a strawberry lollipop.

0:04:030:04:05

Look, I know that's not true.

0:04:050:04:06

Well, I bet you it does.

0:04:060:04:07

I bet you it doesn't.

I'll bet you a dollar.

0:04:090:04:11

BARRIS: Tuvia...my first love.

0:04:130:04:17

Perhaps my whole life turned at that point.

0:04:180:04:21

The repulsiveness of my sex confirmed

0:04:210:04:23

by the taste buds of a ripening pubescent girl.

What are you doing?

Get off me!

0:04:290:04:30

BARRIS: The constant inarticulate rage

TV ANNOUNCER: New York is a city of people,

0:05:310:05:33

the only state in the union to stretch

0:05:330:05:34

from the Atlantic Ocean to the great lakes.

0:05:340:05:37

Directly across the avenue is... you're right again.

0:05:370:05:40

BARRIS: I had heard that television

0:05:400:05:41

was an industry with a future,

0:05:410:05:43

so I packed up and moved from Philly to Manhattan.

NBC THEME PLAYS

0:05:460:05:47

TOUR GUIDE: We began making commercial broadcasts

0:05:470:05:49

in 1941,

0:05:490:05:51

and in 1953,

0:05:510:05:52

NBC made the first ever colour telecast by a network

0:05:520:05:56

during the Colgate comedy hour.

0:05:560:05:57

Now we'll have a look at the studio

0:05:570:05:59

where they produce The Today Show,

0:05:590:06:01

which NBC began broadcasting in 1952.

0:06:010:06:05

Excuse me, miss. Do you know where

0:06:050:06:06

I could apply for an NBC page?

0:06:060:06:08

0:06:150:06:16

on Tuesdays at 8pm

0:06:160:06:17

And hold on one second.

0:06:170:06:19

OK.

0:06:210:06:22

And my personal favourite,

0:06:220:06:24

The Lux Show starring Rosemary Clooney...

0:06:240:06:26

WOMAN: Raymond in accounting?

0:06:380:06:40

He's kind of cute, huh?

0:06:400:06:42

Cute is all well and good, Mary-Ann,

0:06:420:06:44

but what you want is a man who's going places -

0:06:440:06:48

a go-getter on the management fast track.

0:08:080:08:10

BARRIS: I don't know. Efficiency cutbacks.

0:08:100:08:12

Some bullshit. Look, it's gonna be fine.

0:08:120:08:15

I'm pregnant.

0:08:180:08:21

So, I figured, I'm gonna skip town.

0:08:260:08:29

I intend to be important, you know?

0:08:290:08:31

I can't be saddled with this.

0:08:310:08:34

Phhhbbt!

0:08:340:08:35

But then I remembered something Carlyle said.

0:08:350:08:39

"Do the duty which lies nearest thee."

0:08:390:08:44

So you see...

0:08:440:08:45

Who's Carlyle?

0:09:060:09:08

Jew.

0:12:290:12:30

I had one of those once, but he was Sephardic.

You look Ashke-nazi.

Ashkenazi.

0:12:340:12:36

Right, Ashke-nazi.

I haven't had one of those yet.

0:12:370:12:40

You're romantic.

0:12:400:12:42

Yeah. I just don't get into all the bullshit

0:12:420:12:44

between cats and chicks.

0:12:440:12:45

I know what you mean. You know what I mean?

0:12:450:12:47

I know what you mean.

0:12:470:12:48

Besides, you just give your heart to one cat,

0:12:480:12:49

and, you know, you get hurt.

0:12:490:12:51

Don't I know it?

0:12:510:12:52

0:13:330:13:35

I really like that song.

0:13:350:13:36

Oh, thanks.

0:13:360:13:37

Yeah, it's real sentimental bullshit.

# Last night I took a walk after dark

0:13:470:13:50

# A swingin' place called Palisades Park

0:13:500:13:52

# To have some fun and see what I could see

0:13:520:13:56

# That's where the girls are

0:13:560:13:58

# I took a ride on the shoot-the-chute

0:13:580:14:00

# That girl I sat beside was awful cute

0:14:000:14:03

# After it stopped she was holding hands with me

0:14:030:14:07

# My heart was flyin' up

0:14:070:14:10

# Like a rocket ship

0:14:100:14:12

# Down like a roller coaster

0:14:120:14:14

# Back like a loop-the-loop

0:14:140:14:16

# And around like a merry-go-round

0:14:160:14:20

# We ate and ate at a hot dog stand

0:14:200:14:23

# We danced around to a rockin' band

0:14:230:14:25

# And when I could I gave that girl a hug

0:14:250:14:29

# In the tunnel of love

0:14:290:14:31

# You'll never know how great a kiss can feel

0:14:310:14:33

# When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel

0:14:330:14:36

# When I fell in love

PENNY: Last night in my dream,

0:14:500:14:52

this ape and I are sitting

0:14:520:14:53

staring at each other,

0:14:530:14:55

and it was, like, across time and evolution.

0:14:550:14:57

And then he started talking,

0:14:570:14:59

but in a language I didn't really understand.

0:14:590:15:01

SHE LAUGHS

0:15:010:15:02

Swiss, maybe.

0:15:020:15:04

And then he turned into Perry Como -

0:15:040:15:07

real square.

0:15:070:15:09

What's wrong with you?

0:15:090:15:10

Nothing.

0:15:100:15:11

You know, just because we fucked

0:15:110:15:12

doesn't mean there are strings now. It's OK.

0:15:120:15:14

HE LAUGHS OK.

0:15:140:15:15

I just wanted to tell you about my dream.

0:15:150:15:17

Nothing more complicated than that.

0:15:170:15:18

Don't panic.

0:15:180:15:20

I'm just not used to all this...

0:15:200:15:21

all this dating bullshit, you know?

0:15:210:15:23

Now we're a couple. Now I'm obliged

0:15:230:15:24

to give a shit what you say. Is that...?

0:15:240:15:26

Don't worry.

0:15:260:15:27

I'm not into those games, either.

0:15:270:15:29

So anyway, the monkey turns into Perry Como,

0:15:290:15:32

and I say...

0:15:320:15:33

Holy fuck! What?

0:15:330:15:35

Holy, holy fuck! You just gave me an idea...

0:15:350:15:38

for a show. Fuck!

0:15:380:15:40

A show about monkeys?

0:15:400:15:42

No, about people.

0:15:420:15:43

About sex, about romance,

0:15:430:15:46

about the bullshit of dating.

0:15:460:15:49

I call it The Dating Game,

0:15:490:15:51

and that's what it's about, Mr Goldberg.

0:15:510:15:54

A pretty girl asks three handsome guys -

0:15:540:15:58

who she can't see - silly questions,

0:15:580:16:00

and based on their answers,

0:16:000:16:02

she picks one to date, and we pay for the date.

0:16:020:16:06

That's it. That's the show.

0:16:060:16:07

Aah!

0:16:120:16:14

Aah! Aah!

0:16:140:16:15

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

0:16:150:16:18

Hot damn!

0:16:180:16:19

What, what, what?

0:16:190:16:20

They bought it! Yeah!

0:16:200:16:21

They bought it! They bought it!

0:16:210:16:23

They're givin' me 7,500 fuckin' dollars

0:16:230:16:25

to make a pilot!

0:16:250:16:26

Yeah! We gotta go celebrate!

0:16:260:16:28

Let's go roller skating!

0:16:280:16:29

I can't! I got a date!

0:16:290:16:30

Ok, cool. Will you call me after?

0:16:300:16:31

OK! OK!

0:16:310:16:32

OK. Bye! Mwah!

Jesus, you gotta be kidding.

..when he's talkin' with you,

Look, there's a schoolyard half a block down.

0:20:320:20:34

Why don't you go trollin' there?

I can teach you at least 30 different ways

0:20:370:20:39

to kill a man with a single blow, Mr Barris.

0:20:390:20:41

It might help in future bar fights.

0:20:410:20:43

Just a thought.

0:20:430:20:45

Oh, and there's money in it -

0:20:450:20:47

good money.

You know, I figure if I can keep afloat

0:20:490:20:52

until I come up with the next game show idea,

0:20:520:20:54

then all would be copacetic.

0:20:540:20:56

Where do I sign up? Are you fuckin' with me?

You're fuckin' with me, aren't you?

0:22:010:22:02

Hardly.

0:22:020:22:04

And you wouldn't be working for the company.

0:22:040:22:06

You'd be an independent contract agent.

Independent.

No official tie to any agency.

Wh-What's the profile?

He's one of the bad guys.

0:28:090:28:13

Bad for the US, right, Jim?

0:28:130:28:14

Not bad in an absolute sense,

just bad for the US.

Don't fuckin' dance with me.

Renda's bad for the tea and biscuit company.

Chuck, quite frankly,

0:33:520:33:53

these episodes are unairable.

0:33:530:33:55

CHUCK: Look, Larry,

0:33:550:33:57

the show's spontaneous.

0:33:570:33:58

It's unscripted. That's its charm.

0:33:580:34:01

I can't help what people say.

0:34:010:34:02

< Be that as it may, Mr Barris,

0:34:020:34:03

we can't have black men

0:34:050:34:07

The point is not that he's black, Hank.

0:34:070:34:09

HANK: Well, I know that.

0:34:090:34:10

LARRY: Chuck, that's it. We can't air this stuff.

0:34:100:34:12

If you can't retain your spontaneity

0:34:120:34:14

on the show without this lewd conduct,

0:34:140:34:16

it's over, it's finished, you're history.

0:34:160:34:19

Now, you fix this fucking thing,

0:34:190:34:20

or we got a problem.

0:34:200:34:21

Hi, folks.

0:34:240:34:26

Before we begin taping today,

0:34:260:34:27

I'd like to introduce you to Mr Peter Jenks

0:34:270:34:30

of the Federal Communications Commission.

0:34:300:34:32

OK?

0:34:320:34:33

Thank you, Mr Barris.

0:34:370:34:38

I don't know if any of you

0:34:520:34:56

are aware of this...

0:34:560:34:58

..but it's a federal offence

0:34:590:35:02

to make lascivious remarks

0:35:020:35:04

on a television network broadcast.

0:35:040:35:07

The penalty...

0:35:100:35:12

..for this disgusting...

0:35:150:35:17

..un-American...

0:35:200:35:22

behaviour...

0:35:220:35:24

is one year in prison

0:35:240:35:27

or a 10,000 fine...

0:35:270:35:30

or both!

0:35:300:35:32

Anyone...

0:35:340:35:36

making a sick subversive remark tonight

0:35:360:35:40

will be arrested immediately.

0:35:400:35:43

I, then, will personally escort

0:35:430:35:44

the offender to federal prison

0:35:440:35:46

for booking under edict number 364

0:35:460:35:48

of the Broadcasting Act of 1963.

0:35:480:35:52

And it's a long drive to that prison, baby.

0:35:520:35:56

Just you and me.

0:35:560:35:59

No witnesses!

0:35:590:36:02

CHUCK: OK, have fun, everybody.

0:36:180:36:20

All right.

0:36:200:36:21

They gave everybody jackets

0:36:210:36:23

with their names on them,

0:36:230:36:24

and when we got number one ratings

0:36:240:36:26

on Saturday nights,

0:36:260:36:27

everybody got a gold plaque.

0:36:270:36:29

And so, he was a good boss,

0:36:290:36:31

and obviously had the common touch,

0:36:310:36:33

because he really knew

0:36:330:36:35

what people wanted to watch.

0:36:500:36:52

0:36:520:36:53

Oh, sit down, relax.

0:36:530:36:55

Take a load off. Make yourself at home.

0:36:550:36:57

I just got a call from the network. You want a drink?

0:36:570:36:59

You got any weed?

0:36:590:37:00

I wish. No, no weed.

0:37:000:37:03

Then I'll have a drink.

0:37:190:37:21

They want me to make it more exciting for night time.

Send them to some exotic locale -

Europe, southeast Asia, for example.

0:39:160:39:20

The network's not going to let me send

Send them with a chaperone.

That's not half bad.

0:39:350:39:36

Sometimes you could be the chaperone.

Chuck, when I said you fit the profile,

0:39:580:39:59

very little of that meant you needed the money.

0:39:590:40:02

You liked it with Renda.

0:40:020:40:03

I saw it in your eyes.

Tell her that I think she's real pretty,

I'm shy, too.

You got to talk to her, Chuck.

She called me gay.

You got to tell her that.

You're not doing your job very well.

I mean, I-I know it takes time

0:42:030:42:04

for people to get to know each other,

0:42:040:42:06

0:42:060:42:08

They... They thought he was...

He... They sort of walked a straight line,

he could turn on them.

0:59:290:59:32

was they needed me

0:59:320:59:33

to trade for one of their Russian agents.

0:59:330:59:36

I promised myself if I got out of this,

0:59:480:59:51

I'd live my life differently.

0:59:510:59:53

I'd throw myself into work,

0:59:530:59:55

into life.

last...

1:00:121:00:14

I don't know what was worse...

1:00:311:00:34

That I was duped by that fat fucking bachelor

You know what the sad part about it is -

1:04:491:04:51

Barris has a reputation for lowering the bar of television

1:04:511:04:54

and the standards and all, but...

1:04:541:04:56

he had a great feel for what people wanted,

1:04:561:04:58

and he couldn't take the criticism.

1:04:581:05:00

BARRIS: Things started to evolve pretty quickly.

Yeah... I don't think it's that loathsome.

1:06:431:06:45

What is it, then?

To mock some poor lonely people

1:06:471:06:48

who are just craving a little attention in their lives...

1:06:481:06:51

to destroy them?

1:06:511:06:53

which I believe is really, really gonna kill.

the thing is, we have to talk.

1:16:261:16:28

What's up, Rod?

1:16:281:16:30

Well, the thing is...

1:16:301:16:32

some of your old shows aren't doing so well

1:16:321:16:35

in the old ratings war. LAUGHS

1:16:351:16:37

1:16:391:16:40

I've been put in the unfortunate position

1:16:401:16:43

of having to inform you

1:16:431:16:45

that the network is cancelling these shows.

1:16:451:16:48

Now, don't shoot me, Chuck.

1:16:511:16:52

1:17:161:17:17

just like that.

1:17:171:17:19

I pushed them into the world

1:17:191:17:21

1:17:211:17:24

Lovingly...

It's my house, Pen.

It's our house.

1:18:551:18:57

I found it with you. I decorated it with you.

1:18:591:19:02

I spent six fucking months

1:19:021:19:04

waiting for the fucking plumber to fucking come.

What?

I need to know how much you like me.

I-I don't know what that means.

1:20:241:20:26

How much?

1:20:261:20:28

How can I rate a person in that way?

1:20:281:20:30

You could if you felt it.

1:20:301:20:33

If you felt it, it would be easy.

1:20:331:20:35

You would just...

1:20:351:20:36

..spread your arms

1:20:381:20:40

as wide as they would go

You know, nothing's black and white like that.

Do you want me around or not,

why don't you do it?

1:23:061:23:07

Why don't you kill the mole?

1:23:071:23:09

Any problem with killing, Jim?

1:23:091:23:12

I just don't fit the profile.

1:23:131:23:16

What fucking profile? There is no fucking profile.

1:23:161:23:18

OK. There's no profile.

1:23:181:23:20

Yeah, there's no profile.

1:23:201:23:21

OK.

1:23:211:23:22

You had a twin sister, stillborn,

1:23:251:23:27

strangled by your umbilical cord.

1:23:271:23:30

Your first hit.

1:23:301:23:32

Your mother always wanted a daughter.

1:23:321:23:34

She blamed you for your sister's death,

1:23:341:23:36

so until your sister Phoebe was born,

1:23:361:23:38

she raised you as a girl.

1:23:381:23:40

What else?

1:23:401:23:41

Your father, the dentist.

1:23:411:23:44

Not really your father.

1:23:441:23:46

Your real father was a man

1:23:471:23:49

named Edmond jams Windsor.

1:23:491:23:51

Among other things, he was a serial killer,

1:23:511:23:53

a fact your mother didn't know

1:23:531:23:55

when she had an affair with him in 1928.

1:23:551:23:57

That's ridiculous.

1:23:571:23:58

Is it?

1:23:581:24:00

That's insane.

1:24:001:24:01

Windsor died in the electric chair

1:24:011:24:03

in 1939.

1:24:031:24:04

I'm trying to think of what more I can tell you,

1:24:061:24:08

but you have me at a bit of a disadvantage, Chuck.

1:24:081:24:10

Come on, Jim.

a lot lately, Chuck.

1:33:021:33:03

Oh, yeah? Mmm.

1:33:031:33:05

CHUCKLES

1:33:051:33:06

I've missed you.

1:33:061:33:08

Well, you could have fooled me.

1:33:081:33:10

Well, I've mellowed.

1:33:101:33:12

CHUCKLES

1:33:121:33:13

Look, Boston is a beautiful city.

1:33:131:33:16

We could start over here,

1:33:161:33:18

normal life together.

1:33:181:33:20

Sell insurance.

1:33:201:33:22

LAUGHS

1:33:221:33:24

Yeah! That sounds good.

1:33:241:33:25

That sounds right.

1:33:251:33:28

Look at that.

1:33:301:33:32

I could learn to love that skyline.

1:33:321:33:35

Did you see I got your picture framed?

1:33:361:33:39

Oh, yeah? Where?

1:33:391:33:40

Look.

1:33:401:33:42

Oh, hot dog!

1:33:421:33:43

To life.

1:33:461:33:47

To life.

1:33:491:33:50

You devil.

1:34:011:34:03

Isn't that sweet?

1:34:031:34:05

Oh...

1:34:051:34:06

Hey, what about splitting our time in...

1:34:081:34:10

in New York?

1:34:101:34:12

Fuck. I just bit...

1:34:141:34:16

It's just a... GAGS

1:34:161:34:18

GAGGING

1:34:181:34:21

GASPING, GRUNTING

1:34:321:34:34

No, that's too quick.

1:34:341:34:35

You're supposed to get to the bathroom

1:34:351:34:37

and throw up first.

1:34:371:34:39

God, Chuck, you should have seen Oliver's face.

1:34:391:34:42

It was just... Well...

1:34:421:34:44

if I do say so myself.

1:34:441:34:45

I got a nice snapshot of it, actually.

1:34:451:34:48

Mmm...

1:34:481:34:49

You know, Keeler was easy.

1:34:491:34:51

Travelled halfway around the world

1:34:511:34:52

for a night with me.

1:34:521:34:54

Hmm...

1:34:541:34:56

PANTING

1:34:561:34:58

OK...

1:34:581:34:59

Let's see...

1:34:591:35:01

GRUNTS

1:35:011:35:03

Chuck...you've put on weight.

1:35:031:35:05

Come on.

1:35:071:35:09

I nearly blew it with Byrd.

1:35:091:35:11

Never farm out a job that you should do yourself.

1:35:111:35:14

Do you want a laugh?

1:35:141:35:16

He thought you were the mole.

1:35:161:35:18

He was going to kill you.

1:35:181:35:20

What an idiot.

1:35:201:35:21

"I'm not at all the person

1:35:231:35:24

"you and I took me for."

1:35:241:35:26

Hmm. Sounds like an epitaph.

1:35:261:35:28

Your handwriting, too.

1:35:281:35:30

You see, Chuck, I save everything...

1:35:301:35:33

All of your lovely notes. Mmm.

1:35:331:35:35

LABOURED BREATHING

I like Carlyle best, too.

1:35:401:35:43

I really do. Yeah.

1:35:431:35:45

Say hi to the boys when you see 'em.

1:35:451:35:47

BARRIS: 'I came up with a new game show idea recently.

1:41:231:41:27

'It's called The Old Game.'#

1:41:271:41:30

You got three old guys with loaded guns on stage,

1:41:301:41:35

they look back at their lives,

1:41:351:41:38

see who they were, what they accomplished...

1:41:381:41:43

how close they came to realising their dreams.

1:41:431:41:47

The winner...

1:41:501:41:53

is the one who doesn't blow his brains out.

1:41:531:41:57

He gets a refrigerator.

1:41:571:42:01

# There's no business like show business

1:42:081:42:11

# Like no business I know

1:42:111:42:16

# Everything about it is appealing

1:42:161:42:20

# Everything the traffic will allow

1:42:201:42:22

# Nowhere can you get that happy feeling

1:42:221:42:25

# When you are stealing that extra bow

1:42:251:42:30

# There's no people like show people

1:42:301:42:34

# They smile when they are low

1:42:341:42:38

# Even with a turkey that you know will fold

1:42:381:42:41

# You may be stranded out in the cold

1:42:411:42:45

# Still, you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold

1:42:451:42:49

# Let's go on with the show... #
