- Peter, I'm so happy to see you.
- Hi. How are you?
- I'm wonderful. How are you?
- Good, good.
Is this a night
for a party or what?
- I mean, this huge mix-up...
- Okay, everyone.
- I found his commercial. Come on in.
- Oh, I can't wait to see it.
Oh, he... he can't weasel out
of this one. We're gonna show it.
It's show time, folks.
Let's go.
- Shh! Shh! Shh!
- Hey, quiet!
I came from fairly humble beginnings
from upstate New York.
- And to be honest, I'd never
even been on an aeroplane before.
- Nice make-up.
Not until the Air Force
taught me to fly in 1969.
combat missions for them.
In, uh, 1971...
Oh, a tough year...
I threw everything I owned
into a charter service.
- You look better than those frogs
in that beer commercial.
- When we kicked off...
we had a six-seater and one DC-3,
and we would fly anywhere.
We were like
the yellow cabs of the sky.
In 1979, we started Endeavor, and
we only flew to four different cities.
But, uh, I think the passengers
picked up on my, my joy in flying.
And we've grown
to 37 countries worldwide.
in the scheme of things.
But then, I never wanted
to be the biggest, just the best.
The most important thing
to me these days... family.
Mine. Yours.
That's the good thing
about an airline.
closer together, among other things.
And that makes me
feel good. 1971. Man.
I had the devil in me back then.
But today... people change.
Sort of.
- He really didn't want to do it.
- I thought he was great.
- He was good.
- Author!
- Where did he go?
Okay, get it over with,
you pack of freeloaders.
- Put it there. I got big shoulders.
- When's it air?
I was afraid to ask, actually. No,
you're too kind. No, you're too kind.
Actually, I'm contemplating
suicide before it airs.
Oh, yes, of course.
Because he's so shy.
And next month,
he's doing the underwear
billboard in Times Square. Ow!
You should have seen... You should
have seen the look on his face.
He couldn't figure out
where I got that information.
- And where did you?
- I took safe-cracking at MIT.
- No, the guy couldn't believe it.
- Hey, Sean, you eat something?
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Good.
You know, the guy's a wacko.
I mean, seriously, he's, like, whoo!
- Unbelievable, unbelievable.
- What I can't figure out is how
someone expects you to bite...
without expecting you to know
everything about his business.
- I agree.
- Yeah. Anyway, uh,
David's on the carpet.
- All right, time to fold
the tent, fella. Come on.
- Tom?
- Yeah?
- Where did you get the tile
in the kitchen? It's great.
Oh, God, Louisa,
that's a Kate question.
See, I only answer Tom questions
like, uh, you know, what's wrong
with my chain saw?
- What's the best time of day
to kill a grizzly bear?
- I have a perfect Tom question.
How do you feel about Jackie Brown
filing a civil suit against you...
from his prison cell?
Sean, why don't you, uh, brush,
get ready. I'll be down in a minute.
David, would you get Bob, please?
- And you are?
- I'm just givin' you heads-up
because this Brown guy now says...
that he has proof that you paid him
to head off the machinists' strike.
Well, that's not novel. I mean,
he's been saying that for months.
I know, I know. But now he says he has
proof that you even initiated the bribe.
the Daily News. I just thought
if we could spend a couple seconds...
- Oh, oh, Bob Stone, Sammy Adams
from the Daily News. Uh...
- Adler.
- Why don't you make sure
he gets home safe?
- Can we get... Can we do
something for two seconds?
- I hope you had
a good time here. Drive safely.
- All right, all right.
- We're very civil here.
- Guys, I'm a reporter. All right?
- We know who you are.
- I'm not a stalker, guys.
Listen, your boss is gonna
have to deal with this.
Jackie Brown says he was set up.
someone else to talk to.
- He's in the clear,
you understand, Sammy?
- Listen, if I was...
- I came from humble...
- Cut.
- Sean?
- Okay, try it again.
- About four cities, but l...
- Sean?
- Oh, I guess he's not here.
So I'll lie down and take a nap
while I wait for him to turn up.
God, this mattress is lumpy.
And it's got hair and... what?
This mattress needs to be tickled!
No laughing.
No laughing allowed.
And why are you watching
my goof-ups again?
- What is this bug in the... Sorry.
- Cut.
- That's funny.
- Yeah? Well, must make you
feel good inside...
to know your old man
can't even talk.
Grobe?
A shrinking grobe?
Was that guy mad
at you upstairs?
No. He's, uh, not mad.
He's, uh, he's curious. Yeah.
- It's his job, you know. He's gotta...
- It seems like someone's
always mad at you.
- That the way that seems?
- Mm-hmm.
Well, I guess that...
You're not mad at me, are you?
- No.
- Well, I can... I can fix that.
- A knuckle sandwich before bedtime.
- Stop it! Stop it!
I said get your ass movin'!
- Get on the car! Shut the f*** up!

in your back, you f***!
