larry: did any maloof ever come close to the altar? close? did you? the closest we came to the altar was when adrienne was on the altar. larry: never close? no. no. larry: do you want to get married, joe? maybe it s too late. i don t know. larry: do you want to get married? maybe so. who knows. i ve thought about it. larry: miss right has never come through the door? well, there s been a lot of miss rights. left quite abruptly. larry: george? i d like to some day. larry: you would? yeah. larry: who s the youngest? phil. larry: would you like to some day, phil? maybe. i don t know. it s tough. it s very maybe in another life. larry: do you think how does your mother feel about that, joe? she threw in the towel. she threw the towel in long ago. she d like us to get married
larry: do they have an input? can joe call you up and say i don t like the idea of this nightclub? yeah, he can do that. larry: what impact does it have? it has impact. i listen. one of the things about the relationship we have is we listen to each other. which is good. we respect each other s opinions. we don t shut the door on someone s thoughts. so it s worked. my father used to say, running a family business is a tough son of a b to run a family business. but i think why we all get along so well is my mother and father never favored one child over another. they never pitted me against gavin or gavin against george. they all encouraged us. and got some great stories, terrific stories about they d watch gavin play football in albuquerque, and that night fly all the way to new jersey to be at my game on the next saturday. it would be incredible the kind of parents we had. larry: it s natural to favor
