Curb Your Enthusiasm

- Whoa! Whoa! - Terrific! Terrific! Thank you.

What a wonderful day of rehearsal, gang.

Thanks so much. That was great.

I like these men.

- Really great job. - Fantastic.

- My best work. - Wow.

How about Susan Stroman? I mean... huh?

She's the best.

11:30 call tomorrow.

We're gonna start with the new choreography for "Fatwa Sex."

- I gotta talk to Lin. - All right.

Quick question for you. Cody wants to know which poster you like more.

- Um... I think this one. - Cool.

- Murray. - Hey.

- That was unbelievable! - Oh, thanks.

- So great. - Felt good.

- Loved it. - Thanks.

I got one little, tiny note for you.

- Yeah? - It's a small, small note.

I noticed that you're denunciating with your fist.

And the ayatollah, actually, he denunciates

with his... with his index finger.

- He kind of uses it like a... - Yeah?

like a sledgehammer.

- That feels good. - You like that?

- I think it's terrific. - Yeah.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Yeah. And...

- I really like your shoes. - Really?

- Yeah. - Thank you!

Can we go over the choreo for "Fatwa Sex" before we go onstage?

Yeah, why don't you come in at 10:45?

We'll have the dance captain come.

- Ach! - Are you happy?

- Am I happy? - Aren't they incredible?

- It's crazy! This is insane! - It's gonna be amazing.

I can't believe how excited I am!

I've only been excited twice in my life.

Unsnapping my first bra.

And this! This is like my second bra!

Oh, well, fantastic.

If this guy ever asks you to go in the weeds,

get in the weeds!

- Is that fishing? - No, no, no.

- That's work. That's work, yeah. - Yeah. It's the work.

- As I was watching it... - Yeah?

...I'm thinking that old opening

would work great now.

Oh, I totally blocked that out.

You know, just sitting there,

you can just feel how well that could work.

You know what we do?

Cast album bonus track just for the fans.

Give them the bonus now. Why have a bonus then?

It's not a bonus if it's already here.

Cody, what'd you think of that?

My toe started tapping. I mean...

- It's catchy. - Yeah. It's catchy!

But I think this opening number

sets up the thing you love so much.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

I gotta go to wardrobe and get changed. Wanna walk with me?

- Yeah. I wanna talk to you about something. - Great. Thanks, Cody.

But honestly, you should reconsider this.

Look, watch. Just watch this.

One second. I'm running, okay? You're running.

And everybody's yelling from the windows.

That's your talk show bit.

You do that on "Late Night" and say,

"This is what turned into the amazing musical number we actually did."

It's gonna be great.

Hey, Cody, what'd you think of that?

I... I would attend a workshop of it.

- It's a workshop. - Hey.

- So, first preview's in a week. - Yeah.

I'm thinking it would be a good idea

to do something for the cast and crew.

Something fun, you know. Maybe like paintball?

Well, that's a great idea!

- Yeah? - Yeah, absolutely.

"Lion King" used to do that all the time.

- Oh, terrific! - Yeah, it might be fun.

Great, we'll do it this weekend.

You know, I'll pay for it.

Great, I'll spread the word with the cast.

- Hi, Greg. - Hi.

So, I think this is not the tweed that we really want. I just...

What is it about it that's not working for you?

It's not quite professorial enough. Do you agree?

- I... I like it. - You like it?

- Yeah, I think it looks good. - I'd like to see options, then.

- Okay. - Yeah.

These are all the vests I pulled.

Oh, I wanted to ask you,

my cousin Valentina and her husband,

their Airbnb fell through.

They're coming in to see the first preview.

I was wondering if they could maybe stay with you.

Hmm... no hotel?

They're... they're a really interesting couple.

Hotels are not their thing.

But aren't you renting a house?

Yeah, but me and V only have one bedroom.

There's really not room,

and you've got that great big house.

Is that okay? Is that... it's cool?

Yeah, sure. What the hell.

All right. Thank you.

Wonder if there's anything else

we need to do before tomorrow.

- Something wrong? - I...

I just did you a very nice favor.

- Yeah. - Uh...

and that "thank you" was...

it was like I passed you the ketchup.

Yeah, no, no.

It was not commensurate with the gesture.

Oh, I... I appreciate it.

Thank you.

Um, what else do you have?

You've seen the choices.

- Um... - All right, I'm... I'm...

- I'm gonna head back. I'll see you later. - Okay. Thanks.

- Thanks again. - Yeah.

- What do we think? - Yeah, it's a little boxy.

Where's Funkhouser? Where is he?

- He's always late, this guy. - I know. So rude.

I say next time, we tell him a half hour earlier.

- You know what, let's just sit down. - All right.

We'll have some appetizers, maybe even order dinner.

- Who cares? Yeah. - Who cares?

- Hi. Um... - Hi.

David. Reservation.

Ah! Yes. Party of four.

Are you all here?

No, we have three.

Well, I'm sorry.

We can't seat you until your entire party arrives.

- Why? - It's our policy.

We don't seat incomplete parties.

What's the point of the policy? We have three people.

It's the same table. What's the difference?

The chef really likes everyone to sit together

so they can order together and he can deliver the food at the same time.

- Oh, the chef likes everyone to sit together. - Yes.

- Isn't that nice? - It makes for the optimal dining experience.

Okay, you know what the optimal dining experience is?

To eat when you're hungry, okay?

- I understand. - That's the optimal dining experience.

I'm sorry. That's our policy.

We do not sit incomplete parties.

- Yeah. - No, this is bullshit.

- I know. - Guess we'll wait.

Hey, I got that paintball thing secured.

Oh, good for you. That'll be fun.

- They're gonna love it. - What? What is it?

I'm taking the cast and crew to do, like, a paintball day.

- You know paintball? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fun.

- They shoot paint instead of bullets. - It's a good bonding.

Yeah, we're gonna do it on Saturday.

- Sat... wait. This Saturday? - Yeah.

It's Sammi's wedding this Saturday.

I thought it was the week after.

Oh, God, I sent you the save-the-date,

I sent you the invitation,

you never fucking wrote it down?!

- You sent me too many things! - Don't make it my fault now!

You know what, I'll work it out. I can do both.

You're making a speech. You promised Sammi.

All right, I'll work it out. I'll work it out.

I'm sorry. I'm just a little cranky...
