The Blind Date

You know, you should get one of these cordless vacuums! Hey, Mikey boy! - What? - What? I'm talking.
Yeah? Sorry, I was just listening to music.
You know what? You better get a new girlfriend, all right? 'Cause this isn't gonna last that much longer.
Yeah, well, whose fault is it that I don't have a girlfriend anymore? Hey, I did you a favor.
The problem is it's hard to fix you up.
You're so particular.
I would like to be with an attractive woman, yes.
What guy wouldn't? Not only does she have to be good-looking, - but she's going out with a blind man.
- So? - She has to wait on hand and foot.
- So? What matters to women is what's on the inside of a fella.
Okay, first of all, you've got nothing inside of you, okay? Let me just make that clear.
You are the most superficial man I've ever met, blind or sighted, okay? Be that as it may, it's just not fair that people get to see her and I don't.
It's not fair everybody knows what she looks like except you? Right.
It's not fair.
- Did you get the corners? - You know what I'll do? Keep my eyes and ears open.
Maybe there's somebody I can fix you up with.
"I am Max Bialystock, first producer ever to do summer stock in the winter.

Think that's related - ghurt, -ga? They're both healthy things.
Yoghurt, yoga.
I don't think so.
Hey, I thought of some more yos.
- Yodel, have you ever yodeled? - Bye, honey.
Larry, great seeing you.
- Bye, Christine.
- Bye, guys.
How about what's-his-name, from the movie? She can't hear you.
Why don't you come up front? Eh, I'm okay.
Come on up front.
I'm good.
- Are you serious? - Yeah, why? What's the difference? I'm not gonna drive you around like a chauffeur.
Get in the front seat.
You're not driving me around like a chauffeur.
We're two minutes from the rehearsal hall.
What kind of person asks another one to drive them around like this? This kind of mentality's what's What kind of person is so insecure that they have to make somebody move into the front seat so they don't think they're driving somebody around? The kind of person that's so insecure that needs to be driven around.
Subliminally you're telling me you need me to drive you around.
Why do I have to leave my seat, go into the front seat? Because I asked you to, and it's my car and if it's my car, - I make the rules, okay? - You're making the rules? - We would have been there already.
- Yes, very good! You can't drive with somebody in the back seat.
You're such a baby.
- You're a grown man baby.
- Are you saying I'm a man-child? I'm saying you're a little baby.
Little baby wants a ride? We'll give little baby a ride.

Here we go, driving Mr.
Larry.
Hey, take it easy, man.
- You're the baby, Larry.
- Oh, I'm the baby? 'Cause I want to take a poll, that makes me a baby? - No, you know what makes you a baby? - What? - The fact that you're a stupid baby! - I'm a stupid Look at this thing you're walking around with, - a big sack on your back.
- It's my knapsack! # They were helpless # # They were hopeless # # Then along came Bialy.

I don't know.
We'll see.
We'll see.
All right.
Hey, if it's okay with you, I'm taking your car today.
I got a meeting with Mel Brooks.
Oh, okay.
You know what? Maybe while you're out, you could get it washed.
It looks pretty clean, by the way.
- Do you mind? - But it's totally clean.
- Good morning.
- Morning.
I got to show you something.
- A card trick.
- Oh, a card trick, okay.
- Okay, you see this deck? One deck.
- Yeah.
Now you have to tell me when to stop.
Stop.
Now this # Doo-doo, doo-doo # is your card - Okay.
- I'd like you to shuffle this, please.
- All right.
Efficiently and any way possible.
Okay, fine, it's all shuffled.
Okay, and this is your card.
Wow! - Yeah.
- How'd you do that? I'm sorry, I can't tell you.
- Sorry.
- Stewart, how'd you do the trick? No, magicians don't tell people how they do their tricks.
- Well, you're not really a magician.
- Oh, yeah, I am.
- One trick makes you a magician? - Did I trick you? Were you a magician before you knew how to do that trick? Mmm, not really.
Well, who taught you how to do the trick? A magician.
Okay, so you weren't a magician.
A magician taught you how to do the trick, right? - Mmm-hmm, yeah.
- Okay, so I'm not a magician.
Now you're a magician, so you teach me how to do it.
I can't, just 'cause you said I am a magician, I can't teach you.
You didn't know that trick before the magician - taught it to you, right? - Yeah.
So why did the magician tell you? He can tell that I'm a magician.
Well, you can tell that I'm a magician.
But I'm a magician, just naturally a magician.
That's what you're saying.
I'm saying I'm naturally a magician.
- But you don't know any tricks.
- And you're just not.
I mean, see, because I'm a magician, if you were naturally a magician, I'd feel that you were naturally a magician.
- Are you gonna tell me this trick? - No.
- Magicians don't reveal their secrets.
- Fine, I gotta go.
You guys are a lot alike.
Yeah, except he's not a magician.
Hey, let me ask you something.
- You going to that Halloween party? - Of course.
- You are? - Yeah, we're taking you.
- You gonna wear a costume? - Of course I'm wearing a costume, - it's a Halloween party.
- I'm not gonna wear a costume! Oh, I almost didn't tell you.
So, last night at about 11:30, I go to the bathroom to, uh, you know.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
You got the energy for that at 11:30 at night? I always have the energy, yeah.
- Kain ein horeh.
- Kain ein horeh.
So I'm thinking about Jenna Jameson, you know? - Who's she? - A porn star, way hot.
And, um, all of a sudden, she pops out.
You know who pops in? You're not gonna believe this.
Cheryl.
Can you believe that? - My wife? - Cheryl, yeah.
What do you mean? You used Yeah, she was there.
I couldn't believe it.
Boom, she was there.
You can't control who pops in.
She pops in.
She pops in? Why didn't you pop her out? I tried popping her out.
She wouldn't pop out.
- What, she insisted on staying? - Not exactly.
"I want to be here with you, Jeff"? I couldn't pop her out, I'm not in control of it.
Besides, my bench is thin.
I don't have a lot going on there.
Your bench is thin? What, is she on your team now? No, she's not on my team.
She popped in.
- What are you using my wife for? - I thought you'd be flattered.
- Flattered? I'm fucking nauseous.
- Why are you nauseous? It's ugh! You, my wife I just don't like the whole idea.
- It didn't really happen.
- I know, but it feels in your mind.
- Okay.
- All right.
- Do me a favor, okay? - What? I don't want you using my wife anymore for that, okay? I'll never intentionally use your wife for that.
- What do you mean? - You can't control who pops in.
Yeah? Okay, next time she pops in, pick your pants up and get out of the room.
Hello.
- How you doing? - Very well, thank you.
Good.
How's the adoption coming? Good? - Yes, it's going very well.
Thank you.
- Great great great.
Wait till you get the kid.
It'll change your life.
"Get the kid"? Mel will be with you in just a second.
- You can go on back.
- Okay.
How are you doing? - You're carrying on like a funeral.
- That's what it is to me.
It's a decision! - Hey.
- Larry, Jeff, come in.
Close the door.
Do you have any complaints? I mean, how's it going for you? I've got one tiny thing, just one small issue.
I'm not happy with the toilet paper in the rehearsal hall.
You're gonna get the softest, most beautiful toilet paper.
You'll be so happy, you'll be hanging around the toilet every day.
- You'll get me the softer rolls? - You got it! - All right! - Mel, can we get to why you asked Larry to come here? Oh, yeah, we have a little problem.
Yeah, right.
Ben Stiller is gone.
He is history.
He has left us.
He came to me and said, "It's either me or Larry David.
Make up your mind.
" You know, I went right Larry David, Stiller out.
He complained about some things.
I don't know, minor stuff.
- You're kidding? - No, we're not.
Ben Stiller quit.
You wouldn't sit in the front of a car? You couldn't move into the front of the car? I have to move up to we were two minutes away from where we were going.
They were two minutes away from where they were going! At Ben Stiller's birthday party, you didn't bring a present.
- He said no gifts.
- They always say no gift, but everybody brings a gift.
So, you're at the show, you won't shake his hand.
I happen to have a small phobia about shaking people's hands who have snot on it.
- It's a small thing.
- Can you blame him? At the party, everybody sang "Happy Birthday" but you.
I don't like the "Happy Birthday" song.
He never sings the "Happy Birthday" song.
I don't like it either.
I hate the song! It's a trite, cliché song.
I hate it.
Did you hear this thing with the shish kabob? You know about that? That's painful.
- He's showing a stroke - It was an accident! - Right into the kid's eye! - Can I say something? - Please.
- Mel? Blessing in disguise.
He's a wonderful actor.
He's a fantastic actor.
I don't think he belongs in musical comedy, frankly.
It's gonna work out, it's gonna be fine.
- Everything will work out.
- All right.
So, uh, so you'll work on the toilet paper thing? Done, done.
Pink, blue, soft anything you want.
- You got it.
I love you.
- I don't know about blue.
Listen, you know, don't worry about Ben Stiller.
In my mind, I've got a couple of wonderful people.
What do you think of do you know David Schwimmer? - Sure, yeah, the guy from "Friends.
" - Yeah.
Think about that guy.
Think about that.
He can move well, sings well.
And we'd save a little money on the marquee.
"Larry David Schwimmer," get it? - Okay, bad joke.
- That's a good idea.
I like that.
- Think about it.
- Bye, fellas, thank you.
- Okay, good to see you.
- Bye-bye.
God bless.
Keep up the good work.
Mel, Mel, you're making a terrible mistake.
I'm telling you, there's something wrong with this guy! He's mentally challenged.
There is something about this middle-aged bald guy that is thrilling! Car wash! Car wash! - Come on.
- We got one.
- Good, good, all right.
- $10.
- $10.
- Okay.
For the Langley Center.
It's a charity and it's where we all belong.
- Okay.
- $10.
- Here you go.
- $10.
Everybody's seeing I'm putting it in my pocket, okay.
Nothing's coming off this.
Your foot's wet and you're on - Oh, sorry.
- You're on the seat.
Could you close the door? 'Cause you're spraying it all inside.
- It looks pretty clean in here.
- Aw, it's dusty.
- Look, don't dump the- - You're making a mess.
You're making it a bigger mess than it was.
I think it's okay now.
No, it ain't looking like it's supposed to.
I guess I'll get going now.
That's okay.
No no, just give me one more minute, okay? Fuck! Well, guess what? I'm out of gas.
You left no gas in the car.
How do you drive around like that? I don't know.
I'm nowhere near a gas station.
I gotta pee so bad.
You know what? Where's my sunblock? I'll bet you those guys took my sunblock.
I was at a gas station, 'cause I got your car washed.
You know what? I can't even talk.
I have to go to the bathroom so bad I'm dying.
All right, goodbye.
Hi, sir.
I'm so sorry to bother you.
I know this is gonna sound a little crazy, but my car ran out of gas, and I need to use a bathroom.
- Is it possible just - No! Would it be possible? I can just get in for two minutes - Why would I let a stranger in? - I'm not really a stranger.
I did the "Seinfeld" show, I've done Hello, how are you? You know, I was driving by and I couldn't help but I beg you.
I'd like to make an offer on your house.
Oh my God.
May I help you? My car is out of gas, and I'm just desperate to use a bathroom.
Come in, please come in.
Be my invited guest.
- You're kidding? - Please come in.
- Please to come in.
- Oh my God.
Whoa! Whoo! Refreshed? That was so nice of you to do that.
And can I just say something? If you're ever in my neighborhood and you need to use a toilet, I'm your guy.
- Oh, okay, I will remember this.
- All right.
Is there anything else I can do for you? - I hate to impose again.
- No no no.
You just did me an enormous favor.
You got room for another one? - I am very curious.
- Really? I need to get gas for my car.
- I've got to walk to a station - Gas? - Gasoline.
- I have a refinery in the back.
I'm joking! I would be pleased to take you to get gas! That is unbelievable.
My wife left me with no gas.
- She does it all the time.
- Oh, you are married.
- Yes.
- That's a disappointment.
I thought maybe I'd finally met someone.
- You don't have a man in your life? - I don't.
We're a very superficial people.
We like to know what women look like, so it's gonna be tough for you when the Hmm.
What? What is it? I think I've got a guy for you.
- A blind date? - Literally.
All right, look, I'll tell you what.
- We'll get some gas, okay? - Of course.
- And I'll tell you all about him.
- I cannot wait.
- Hey, Haboos.
- Yeah? - You hungry? - Yeah.
I've worked up a little appetite.
- You want to get a little lunch? - Why not? You ever had delicatessen? So this dog digs up a bra, "Filling too much.

- You like that? - Yeah.
This place is beautiful.

What an idea! That's just great! - Thank you.

Call her up.
She's quite a Muslim.
