Quotes 

• Jiminy Glick : Marvin Hamlisch: I don't think he should wear jeans anymore.

  Billy Crystal : [laughs]  Really?

  Jiminy Glick : Oh my God, I thought there was a denim parade goin' by, the denim float had broke and gone down the sidewalk and Marvin Hamlisch was racin' for it, y'know.

• Jiminy Glick : Robert De Niro.

  Billy Crystal : Yes.

  Jiminy Glick : What's THAT about?

  Billy Crystal : What do you mean, "what's that about?"?

  Billy Crystal : George Maharis, you love...

  Jiminy Glick : De Niro has to say the "F" word. I don't like the "F" word: "F" this, "F" that, "F", "F", "F", "F". And he's always playing gangsters a lot, and I bet... I bet he bullies people on the set.

  Billy Crystal : Oh no no no, he's very quiet.

  Jiminy Glick : No.

  Billy Crystal : No, he plays that character great, but a very quiet...

  Jiminy Glick : I hear he's quiet.

  Billy Crystal : Yeah, he's terrific. You'd like him.

  Jiminy Glick : Nah, I don't...

  Billy Crystal : But maybe you're right. If, if you like George Maharis, you'll hate Robert De Niro.

  Jiminy Glick : So how come you said you weren't a mime before? You're lying?

  Billy Crystal : N- no, I PLAYED a mime...

  Jiminy Glick : Are you one of those Hollywood liars?

  Billy Crystal : No, I played a mime, but I never was a mime like at a mall or something.

  Jiminy Glick : I'm not gonna get argumentative, because I'm thrilled you're here, and I love you in a beard.

  Billy Crystal : Did you see "Spinal Tap"?

  Jiminy Glick : No, I read the book.

  Billy Crystal : 'Cause I said, "Mime is money."

  Jiminy Glick : I'm not interested in that part of the conversation.
