1:23:00
The thing is...
1:23:02
...Mr. Vitti's been detained.
1:23:06
Plus, he's sorry for his detainment.
1:23:09
Detained?
1:23:11
What kind of shit is that?
1:23:12
What's more important than this?
1:23:15
As the host, I take his not being
here as a sign of disrespect to me...
1:23:18
...and all these other men
who came a long way to be here.
1:23:23
I mean, no. I mean--
1:23:25
You see, the thing is that
he's not feeling well.
1:23:27
Plus, he don't feel good.
1:23:31
What's the matter with you?
1:23:33
Never discuss Mr. Vitti's
health outside the family.
1:23:36
You know better than that.
1:23:38
Sit down.
1:23:40
Sit down!
1:23:42
You want a fresh one?
1:23:46
Who is this guy?
1:23:48
What the fuck is he doing here?
1:23:49
Who I am?
1:23:51
Who I am? Who am I?
1:23:53
"Who am I?" is a question
for the ages.
1:23:54
That's one we're all searching for,
to find out who I am.
1:23:57
Who's in there, who wants
to come out and go...
1:24:00
... "Hey, I'm hungry. "
1:24:01
Who I am...
1:24:03
...is too deep and... .
1:24:05
You got to go in
and pull out the thing...
1:24:07
...like that movie where the thing
came out of the stomach...
1:24:10
...and ate the people on
the fucking spaceship.
1:24:13
May they rest in peace.
1:24:14
My name is Ben Sobel.
1:24:18
Leone.
1:24:19
Ben Sobeleone.
1:24:20
I'm also known...
1:24:22
...as Benny the Groin,
Sammy the Schnoz...
1:24:26
...Elmer the Fudd,
Tubby the Tuba...
1:24:29
...and once as
Miss Phyllis Levine.
1:24:31
But that was at a party, years ago.
1:24:33
I smoked a titibet,
and I had a Quaalude...
1:24:36
...and suddenly I'm in fishnets
singing show tunes.
1:24:39
These things happen,
but it has nothing to do...
1:24:41
...with what I'm doing here
with you fine gentlemen today.
1:24:44
So I apologize.
1:24:45
That being said, I'm also known to
the people who know me the best...
1:24:49
...as the fucking "Doctor. "
1:24:52
The second part of your question
that you "axed" me...
1:24:56
...is "Why am I here?"
I am here...
