We left because Katie got pregnant.
We both thought it was for the best.

:32:08
I'd have gotten in touch, but I
thought I'd done enough damage.

:32:12
Why did you steal their whole act?
Because you loved them so much?

:32:17
No, because I wanted a new act
that no one had seen in the States.

:32:22
I was ambitious. Is that a crime?
Did you never steal material, son?

:32:28
I knew their act.
It was a way in for me.Just a way in.

:32:34
I did it a couple of years,
then I became a joke man.

:32:40
Let me tell you something straight.
:32:44
About what kills me.
:32:47
It kills me that I got lazy,
using writers, not using me.

:32:51
We were funny! We didn't have to tell
funny stories. We were funny.

:32:55
We had funny bones!
:32:58
And what kills me most is watching
my own son flop time after time.

:33:06
However much I spent on writers and
coaches, it hasn't worked for you.

:33:11
It's like you're too educated
to be funny.

:33:15
All this analysis. I did that!
:33:20
There are two types of comedians.
:33:22
A funny bones comedian,
and a non-funny bones comedian.

:33:26
They're both funny.
One is funny, the other tells funny.

:33:34
And Tommy...
:33:39
It's time you knew...and this
kills me the most,

:33:45
but you're neither.
:33:48
You're not funny.
:33:55
Know it now. They're not gonna cheer
for you, no matter what you do.
