I'm very encouraged.

However, you know this work is just the

beginning of everything that has to be done.

You got a great body.

You know that?

As a matter of fact, so do I. Can't tell with

men's fashions, the way they fit nowadays...

but, uh, if you were to see me naked,

you know what you would say?

Louie, I never would have guessed it,

but you got a great body there. "

[Man]

Krispi"! Hey! Listen here!

- The electrician, see?

- what you ask...

is impossible.

I cannot just rewire your apartment.

I didn't say just my apartment!

I didn't tell him just my...

I said, Start with my apartment,

then do all the apartments. "

[Speaking In Foreign Language]

Oh, yeah? Go inside!

Go do the apartments! what language...

He doesn't understand!

- Don't let this guy throw you.

- Somewhere in here...

there's a list of all the other items

the judge wants you to address.

Just call my office

with a timetable for your repairs.

I'm sure some of the tenants

would like to know.

Did anyone ever tell you

how attractive you are?

No. Of course they have. 34 years old.

You think I've lived this long...

and no one's ever told me

how attractive I am?

You know, listen. This is a great opportunity

for us to go up to my apartment...

you know, we can relax a little bit,

get to know each other?

- [Sighs]

- Nothin' fancy.

If you think I'm such a jerk,

how come you came here?

- Because you're attracted to me.

why don't you admit it?

- Please.

- Like a magnet to a refrigerator.

- [Sighs] Look!

I want to see some real work

begin on this building.

I want to see an agenda.

I want to see a construction crew.

I want to see something more than the

Band-Aids you are applying to this open sore.

And if I don't,

you'll find yourself in prison.

where your great body

will be greatly appreciated.

I don't know why

you get so upset.

[Screams]

- [Engine Starting]

- You have a terrible temper.

But I still want

to take you to lunch!

All right, forget the lunch!

we'll just hump!

Just a matter of time.

[Static, Distorted Music

And Speech]

[Static And Voices Continue]

Come on, come on. I got

money on this friggin' game!

I don't think you look stupid.

Is it the jacket?

- The hood? what?

- It screams! You know what it says?

It says, Look at me! I'm wearin' sh*t

that nobody in this neighborhood would wear.

So come and stick me

with the sharp object of your preference...

and then steal that hideaway wallet

I got velcroed on my leg. "

You could tell?

No, it doesn't show.

But that's what you guys wear.

[Laughing]

Anyway, don't bother. Don't worry about it.

It's okay, you're safe!

You're with me.

Sam Simon

Samuel Michael Simon (June 6, 1955 – March 8, 2015) was an American director, producer, writer, animal rights activist and philanthropist, who co-developed the television series The Simpsons. While at Stanford University, Simon worked as a newspaper cartoonist and after graduating became a storyboard artist at Filmation Studios. Simon submitted a spec script for the sitcom Taxi, which was produced, and he later became the series' showrunner. Over the next few years, Simon wrote and produced for Cheers, It's Garry Shandling's Show and other programs, as well as writing the 1991 film The Super. In 1989, Simon developed the animated sitcom The Simpsons with Matt Groening and James L. Brooks. Simon assembled the show's first writing team, co-wrote eight episodes and has been credited with "developing [the show's] sensibility". Simon's relationship with Groening was strained and he left the show in 1993, negotiating a pay-off which saw him receive tens of millions of dollars from the show's revenue each year. The following year Simon co-created The George Carlin Show, before later working as a director on shows such as The Drew Carey Show. Simon won nine Primetime Emmy Awards for his television work. Simon turned to fields outside television in his later years. Simon regularly appeared on Howard Stern's radio shows, managed boxer Lamon Brewster and helped guide Lamon to the World Boxing Organization Heavyweight Championship in 2004 and was a regular poker player and six-time in the money finisher at the World Series of Poker. Simon founded the Sam Simon Foundation, which consists of a mobile veterinary clinic that goes into low-income neighborhoods offering free surgeries for cats and dogs several days per week, as well as a program that rescues and trains shelter dogs. He also funded the self-christened Sea Shepherd Conservation Society vessel the MY Sam Simon. Simon was engaged at the time of his death, having been previously twice married, including to the actress Jennifer Tilly. Following a profile of Simon on 60 Minutes in 2007, CBS writer Daniel Schorn wrote in an online article that Simon was "perhaps the Renaissance man of the baffling, uncertain age we live in."Simon was diagnosed with terminal colorectal cancer in 2012 and given only three to six months to live. Simon died on March 8, 2015. He bequeathed his $100 million estate to various charities which he actively supported during his lifetime. more…
