Quotes

Rabbi Birnbaum : [Jess is quietly playing "Love on the Rocks" on the piano after his Bar Mitzvah student leaves, then he walks up calling] Jessel? Jessel? There's a telephone call for you!
Jess Robin : Thank you.
[He hops down and jogs off towards the phone]
Rabbi Birnbaum : [as Jess proceeds to take the call, concerned] It's long distance. Nobody died, God forbid?
Jess Robin : [Into phone] Hello?
Bubba : [Through the phone] So how's my favorite white man?
Jess Robin : Bubba!
[to the rabbi]
Jess Robin : It's okay.
[He walks off relieved. Back to the phone]
Jess Robin : How's L.A.? You still working on your tan?
Bubba : [Cut to him in a café on the phone, he laughs] Every day, Jess, every day.
