Let's just say for you, all words are off limits You know, honey the same policy with my staff They are not allowed to say insurance, fair wage, can I have Christmas off to visit my children?

I don't think you'll find an herb chevre and caramelized onion panini Oh, a new special from Chez Gay! Yeah, I put 'em in your bag just before we left I woulda put 'em in my bag, but your bag already smelled like cheese - I'll get it - No, no, no, I'll get-- Oh, that's curious This bread is as hard as our answering machine How did that get in there? Every time I reach for my keys, I always grab an appliance Grace Okay, I-- I just wanted to see if I could get clear on what Leo was saying What are you expecting to hear? That he's actually gonna be on that rooftop at 9:00 tomorrow night? Fine.
Let's say that he is gonna be there - Then what? - What do you mean? Do you wanna go meet him? I mean, you could've gotten back with him any time in the last six months, but you didn't So what's changed? - Nothing - Nothing's changed - You're right - I am Because the romance and the moonlight and the anniversary don't make a bit of difference I know.
It's just--you know, the sound of his voice just was really-- I don't know, it just instantly brought me back to No.
No, no.
I am not gonna get sucked back into this again You're right.
You know what? I'm gonna get rid of this message right now Hey! You didn't have to throw it out! Yeah, well, you didn't have to throw out the blender just 'cause there was a spider in it It hissed and adopted an attack posture! You hissed and adopted an attack posture Don't worry We'll get a new machine It won't be the same I was saving a message from Vince Now all the swans in the lake are gonna know he calls me "fluffer-nutter" Wow, a gay network was "Cagney and Lacey" Well, let me tell you, we've come a long way Now there's an entire network devoted to reruns of "Cagney and Lacey" Hey, Jack Ah, Jimmy.

I need to call Ho-Jo's and get back on the sub list Actually, I already found someone It's the Sinfully Delicious Cocoa Devil Who could possibly be a better camp icon from the '70s? Let me just say again, Rip how trilled, honored and excited we all are to have you as the face of Out TV Oh, I'm excited myself! I can finally afford some new confetti Ah, excuse me, Jamie I don't mean to interrupt I believe I found the spokesperson for Out TV Here's my head shot I know the haircut's a bit outdated, but at the time, the Dorothy Hamill look was all the rage No, no, I remember you.
You're the guy from the cocoa commercial I also did three years at Williamstown, two seasons at the Guthrie, and spent a winter at the Old Vic Uh, look, nobody's concerned about your prison time here We just look at talent Rip, sorry, but we have to let you go How dare you! And if you think you can get any more confetti, you're not Who am I kidding? Can you give me a lift to the bus stop, please? Good work, Jack But I feel bad about the way I treated Rip I'm gonna let him shake out the three-hole punch before he leaves I love the local news.

I do I know, and I think it's great that you think you do Sweetie, I'm just say how grateful I am to have a best friend who makes decisions based on logic not emotion Well, it's not like I have no emotions I mean, just because my Grandma taught me that God hates boys who show emotion doesn't mean that I'm a robot It's good This whole Leo thing whether or not he wanted to meet me If so, do I go, do I want to? What does it all mean? I mean, I-- I woulda kept my foot in that door forever Mooning about what might be on the other side And you, you shut that door and locked it - I wouldn't say I shut-- - No, you did And thank you for making the decision for me I'm gonna sleep easy tonight Good night, Fluffer-nutter Honey, look at you in that headset You look like a high-powered TV exec Or someone who's about to hand me a shake Ooh, I'm getting something Yes, hello?

I can never say those words again What are you talking about? Why do you think we hired ya? Because I'm a classically trained actor - I played Hamlet, Willy Loman, Iago - All in your cocoa devil outfit? Just Iago The world only knows me as a four-inch tall demon superimposed on Gabe Kaplan's shoulder Sure, I won a Clio and drove a brand new Mazda 626 But, like most actor in popular TV commercials, I became addicted to heroin But worst of all, I never got another job No one could ever see me as anything but that damn Cocoa Devil All right, come on, let's go, guys We're on a tight schedule We have to get that video camera back to PS 185 by 4:00 or my nephew gets suspended You're sinfully delicious! wait and see him with his pitchfork-- Listen you! I don't care about your sad life! You are gonna come up here You're gonna stand there And you're gonna look into the camera, and you're gonna do this commercial because there's 114 viewers who need to point at the screen and go, "Oh, look, it's that guy from that thing, I think"! I see Just give me a moment to prepare Honey, you were so manly The way you were hissing and spitting at him like that Karen, what you've just witnessed is the second definition of a tonguelashing at this network It's not pretty.
But it's effective It sure was Look what it's done for Cocoa D He's running like a man half his age Oh, my God! Karen, what do I do? This is devastating I can't breathe Everything's spinning I'm hearing voices Oh, right--yes, hello.

It was all you But I mean, Karen and Jack weighed in too, right? Oh, please.
Karen and Jack? You think I'm gonna trust my love life to Vampira and the Adult Toddler? But you do listen to them Sweetie, half the time I don't listen to myself I don't have to.
I have you You're always so certain - I'm not certain - What? I'm not certain What do you mean? If you weren't certain why did you sound so certain? I always sound certain I talk that way on purpose to seem smarter and hide my insecurities My real voice is more like this! Okay.
No, no Will, what you said made sense Whether Leo's there or not, it doesn't matter Nothing's changed - Stop saying what I said! - Well, you were right - Well, I'm not certain! - About what? About anything A-a-a-about whether he'll be there, or if you should be there Or-Or if you two are destined to be together Or if chocolate is a mood enhancer 'cause it's never made me feel anything but regret Will, don't worry.
You don't have to be certain, 'cause I am It's about time I grew up and started making some sane rational choices Listen to yourself.
Sane? Rational? That's not you You're crazy You're the girl who took off her top at a Journey concert and threw it at the stage Twice! Because they didn't notice the first time Look, if you are not on that rooftop at 9:00 tonight you're gonna spend the rest of your life wondering whether or not he showed up because I talked you out of it Sweetie, don't flatter yourself I've got a mind of my own This is my decision - Really? - Yes Trust me.

Long story short, I became the face of "Atooshi Kodki!" The energy drink of today's youth It was a health drink chock-full of vitamins, minerals, and 22 grams of nicotine Anyway, I became a sensation Everywhere I went, I was mobbed by Japanese people Fortunately, it was right around the time they invented pepper spray And you lost your entire sense of self Exactly However, years later when they discovered that nicotine was dangerous and replaced it with Ephedra and trace amounts baby laxative they offered me another commercial But I said no And that is a decision I have regretted ever since But why? You checked into a hotel just to pee - It seems like you have everything - Not everything! I would trade it all for the chance to be famous again It is the greatest thing any human can achieve You are never closer to God than when you are on television Now you say it - I don't think I can - Say it - No - Say it, bitch It's sinfully delicious I knew you'd be here Hi You know you went out for maple syrup What are you doing?

I'm here so that if any time in the future you start wondering if he came or not, I'll have the answer Oh Now I can't get mad at you for ditching me I didn't ditch you.
I took that awful bus so you could have the car You left me the car? Oops Look I like that you pay all my bills, and you do all my laundry, and make all my meals for me, but you really don't have to ake care of me anymore I feel like I do Well, you don't Although on our way out, I do need $675 for the taxi What about you? What are you doing here? - I came to take you home - Really? Not 'cause you wanted to see if he'd show? Nope Just for you Let's go So what are you gonna make me for dinner? Dinner? I thought I didn't have to take care of you anymore Baby steps, Will Hmm, guess it's not too late to glaze a ham Karen, thank you so much The spot went great I owe you a big favor Anything you ever need, just ask - Well, honey, in that case-- - No! Will you get off my back, woman? Atooshi Kodki! Atooshi Kodki! Come on! Karen, I don't understand.
