Charity

Hi, guys! Hello! Thank you.
Wow.
We got a great show.
Oh, my God.

- What? Say hi to my Uncle Joe.
How are you, Joe? I can't feel my hip.
- Can't feel your hip.
- Aww Well, I'm sorry about that.
Aunt Brenda! There's my Aunt Brenda! Oh, you're kidding me! Billy, we're so proud of you, dear.
We're so very proud of you.
Yeah, but, Aunt Brenda, what's What's that thing on your neck? Oh, this? That's my goiter.
I have a goiter.
It looks much smaller.
Yeah, it's getting better.
We're draining it.
We're draining it weekly.
I think you maybe should have that drained daily.
Carry on.
Man, I got to tell you, Billy, you are so unbelievably lucky.
Yeah, I'm lucky.
You have a I mean, sure, I got Ira.
Who's Ira? You know, he's the one who's always in the front.
He loves pudding.
I like pudding! Here you go.
Fancy meeting you here, girl.
[laughs.]
'Sup, slugger? [laughing.]
"Slugger.
" You're so adorable.
So what do you want to drink? Um, I'll get my usual.
Triple macchiato, no foam.
Great.
Wow.
You have so many cool tats on your - Thanks.
- Yeah.
What's, uh May I? What's that one above your Br Uh, your shoulder? I bet there's a cool story behind that one.
It's a logo: FPE, Free Planet Earth.
It's this environmental organization I do a lot of work for.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
I, uh I love Earth too.
I'm very pro it.
That's awesome.
Yeah, I'm thinking about getting a Tesla No gas.
You know, foreign oil Meh, bleep that noise, right? It's super expensive, but, shit, it's for Earth, right, our planet.
Yeah, totally.
Billy Crystal has one, my costar Billy Crystal from my new series that's premiering in a couple of weeks.
You know Billy Crystal? Know him? We're like brothers.
He's like my really old brother.
That's cool.
You know, this Friday, we're having this event.
Yeah? And if the two of you came, it would be epic.
There's gonna be music, amazing speeches, and all the food is freegan.
Yeah, you know, it's not really a matter of the food costing any money.
It's just, Billy's a pretty busy guy.
Oh You're not gonna break my heart, are you? - You've gotta be kidding me - Sorry it just sort of popped out Well pop it back in.
Yes! That's what I'm talking about "Pop it back in.
" This banter that we have, this gentle ribbing, if we were to apply even a little bit of that chemistry to a charity event, could you imagine? It could be incredible.
You want to bang this girl, don't you? Why do you do that? Why do you immediately jump to the most cynical place when it comes to me? Have you ever thought maybe just being around you the past couple of months has inspired me, seeing all the charitable work that you do? Perhaps it has given me an impetus to want to be the best version of myself, to give back? She's really hot, huh? So hot.
Oh, God, Josh.
But she's got the kind of face that you just don't imagine that there's gonna be these huge tits, and then you look down, and there they are, these huge-ass tit Titties.
(Billy) Charity is very important to me, obviously.
Comic Relief alone, we raised almost $70 million to help the homeless, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I must get five or six requests a week to make appearances.
Last night, I did an appearance to raise money Well, shoes for inner city kids.
Well, Esme, Esme Yes, friend? Uh, in my office Do me a favor, please There's a big box of sneakers and athletic stuff from the charity last night.
Do you mind putting that in my car? All the way across the lot? Yeah, do you mind? My daughter likes to go through it.
Oh, yeah, good for her.
Anyway, so when Josh asked me about this charity (Josh) I'm sorry, all right? I'm sorry to drag you into my shit.
I really am.
I've just been Mess ever since my divorce.
Divorce? - Yeah.
- What divorce? I didn't tell you I got divorced? You didn't tell me you were married.
Yeah, it was when I was 24, a really stupid post-college, "I'm getting laid; "let's go to Atlantic City and make a tragic mistake that lasts three months" kind of thing.
Anyway, I haven't been right ever since.
You realize you're asking me to be the most expensive sexual aid in the history of the world? No.
Cleopatra had a dildo made of ivory.
How do you know that? I watch a lot of History Channel.
(man) And picture's up! All right.
You want to run lines? Yeah, let's do it.
Why, Colonel, so nice to have you back on the plantation.
Shut up and give me what I've been looking for.
- That's not the line.
- Uh, what is it? - Lines? - (off camera) "I'm a Southern gentleman" - Oh, okay.
- That's it.
That's it.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Why, Colonel, so nice to have you back on the plantation.
Is there anything I can get you? I'm a Southern gener Gen general? South (man) "Gentleman"! - I'm a Southern - We got it.
This is the longest light in L.
A.
Man Hey, Chief.
I know this guy.
I give him money almost every day.
Hey, Billy Crystal.

- Am I right? - You're right.
How you doing out there today? Oh, it's hot as shit out here.
Hot as shit, yeah, I know.
Well, try to find some shade, right? You know, I'm looking for it all the time.
Yeah, I know.
I understand.
Hey, look, can I give you something? Please? Can I? Y'all making a movie? It's a documentary about my return to television, uh, with another guy.
Would you mind? Make me feel good.
All right? Thanks, Crystal.
[laughs.]
He picked "Crystal.
" That wouldn't have been my choice.
Boy, it's so sad, you know, what's happening in America, somebody like this Oh, wow! 20! Holy shit! This is way more than you usually give a mother And, um, it just makes you feel good that you can do the right thing.
(man) We are one out away from baseball history.
The crowd is on the edge of its seat, and Miller wants to talk it over on the mound.
I'm gonna throw him a couple of fastballs on the fence, and we'll make him chase a slider low and away.

Right.
So I was thinking that in my parking spot, we could put a charger.
- Oh, okay.
- Electric charger.
Then I could charge the car up, so at the end of the day, I could be fully charged.
I am on it.
I will get it done.
Perfect, see? Kristen, you're terrific.

Earlier I was crying but not at work.

Mmm.
Sometimes you find the best places when you're lost.
Rejection makes everything taste so much better.
You know, Josh, charity It's got to come from the heart.
You can't just sign up for something you don't really care about just for the chance of getting laid.
I did that once, and believe me, I never did it again.
What happened? We're married 43 years.
It's a joke.
I'm joking.
[laughs.]
Good.
No, you just You start small.
You do something nice for the people around you, and then you go from there.
I bought your taco.
Less small.
(Kristen) The craziest thing happened about a week after Frederick died.
Out of the blue, I get this Facebook message from an old high school boyfriend of mine.
He was my chemistry teacher, actually.
This weekend, we saw each other.
And I don't know.
It was like, after all these years, we just we kind of picked right back up where we left off, except that he wasn't married anymore.
But the crazy part of all of this is, he's deathly allergic to dogs.
So if this had happened even a week earlier, then who knows? Life is amazing sometimes.
Kristen, Billy wants to see you on set right now, okay? He says it's an emergency.
Come on.
Kristen What is going on? Well, Josh and I were talking, and (Josh) We decided to get you This little guy! Huh? A puppy.

You got Bette Midler.
You got me.
You got these cute little kids, a story that people want to see another one of They don't want to make it 'cause it's too cheap to make.
Does that make sense? It don't make any sense.
All they want to do is make these big tentpole movies.
I don't get it.
Do you get it? No, I don't get it either.
You don't get it.
It seem to be that these people would realize the difference.
Yeah, but it's all about toys and marketing and animals and Oh, yeah, merchandising is the game with all these brands.
All of that stuff.
That's right.
