Scenes with Phil 3

Phil

[reading the new producer's memo] "Unfortunately, Phil's social maladjustment runs so deep that he is unpredictable and volatile. My guess is that he talks badly about Larry behind his back." Oh, right. You know Larry is just the kind of asshole to read that and believe it.

[smirking, without Phil noticing] Yeah, the memo is way off.

Phil

Social maladjustment... what the hell does that mean? You know, now I'm sorry for making copies of this for everybody.

[on Larry hosting the show with his jokes] He fucked it up! The joke doesn't work unless he ends with the words 'adjustable beds'.

Phil

His timing really sucks tonight.

He's off.

[Jeannie and Arthur enter the room]

And running in what looks like a wonderful show.

Phil

Hi, Mrs. Sanders.

Hi.

Phil

Hi, very funny monologue tonight.

He's on. This is as on as I've seen him in a long time. [muttering] Very strong stuff.

[Hank tells about the origins of his catchphrase] No, no, you see when I was a kid, I used to say "Hey". And then later, I said "Now". But I never put it together until much later...

Are you taking about "Hey now"?

Yes.

Because I have always wondered about that. Which writer came up with "Hey now"?

PJPhil, Jerry

Hank did.

It's brilliant. Really. Have you ever thought about changing it?

No.

Just listen to this. Okay? Instead of saying "Hey now!", you would say "Come here!"

[awkward silence from the group]

Try, just give it a try.

"Come here!"

It's wonderful, it's wonderful!

It's good, I like it.

That's what you can use when the show goes off the air.

What do you... what show... what show goes off the air?

Larry is always talking about moving to Montana, leaving the business...

[to Larry who just stopped by] The show's going off the air?

...building or something up there.

She's kiddin'. She's kiddin'.

No.
