[ laughter ] and, um, i'm wearing new clothes. i just got this today. do you like it? [ applause ] the bracelet, the watch. they were all birthday gifts. well, it wasn't my birthday, but i needed them more than the people i bought them for. [ laughter ] i really like shopping, you know, but doesn't it seem like everywhere you go in this town, somebody comes up to you and says, "excuse me, "miss, can i help you please?" [ laughter ] [ applause ] "what do you need-- [ laughter ] i always wonder if americans move to other countries if they get all the jobs in all the department stores. [ laughter ] [ applause ] and they try to sell you anything with attitude. that's what i don't like. if you look in these fashion magazines and see these models. first of all, they're very thin, and second of all, they're so grouchy. they're wearing expensive clothes. they should be showing us how happy these clothes make them, but they just stand there in the middle of a magazine going-- [ laughter ] buy this dress. ugh! damn you. and they never smile, these girls, even in real life, because they're afraid if they open their mouths, people will throw food in. [ laughter ] [ applause ] and, you know what i don't-- it's the same kind of people, though, that you see on these if you watch them, everybody on there is really phony. nobody acts this way in real life. do you do this? i don't know anyone that does this. you don't really say to somebody, "i tried... [ laughter ] "to love you. [ laughter ] "i have tried, and i have tried, "and i have tried." [ laughter ] "you make a fool out of me "in front of my friends, "and your friends, "and my friends' fds "friends' friends." [ laughter ] [ laughter ] "and that guy down the street, "and that lady with her dog, "and that family "on the elevator. "and that dog's friends." [ laughter ] "thank god i don't care "what other people think." and they always have news. "i have news for you, mister. [ laughter ] "i got the post, the times, [ laughter ] cigarettes appear from nowhere. [ laughter ] "you think i loved you?" [ laughter ] "get out." [ laughter ] [ applause ] but you w i'll tell you, i would like to get out of california sometimes. you know, it's really nice here but, uh, there is so much tan pressure. [ laughter ] you always have to have a tan. and if you don't, you have to make excuses. i have been so busy. [ laughter ] so people, say, "well, "i'm a member. "it only takes 30 minutes." like, that's a real healthy alternative. you might as well just sit in the microwave. [ laughter ] [ applause ] it's like, you look good, but you're developing this horrible skin disease. a few years later, you're dead. people go to your funeral. "such good color." [ laughter ] and the sun is equally hal. you know, people go on vacation, and they spend weeks in the sun, and they come back with that tan attitude, as if they think everyone's been waiting for them. like they're gonna change the world. just like they're busting into a saloon. yeah... i have a tan. [ laughter ] settle down. hey, yeah, i'll go ahead and buy everyone a round of drinks. i'm pretty bronze this season. "what's your secret?" sunscreen, ladies? i don't think so. oh, don't get me wrong, i used to use a 15. then i got down to a four, and then a two. now i just rub on some baby oil if i feel like it. [ laughter ] five years later they make a handbag out of you. [ laughter ] [ applause ] you go, "nice skin! luggage by bob. [ laughter ] these are my children, wallets." [ laughter ] you know why there's a lot of tan pressure? because people associate a tan with success. i see someone with a tan, i assume they're successful. oh, look at you. you must be doing all right. "oh, yeah, i got a promotion. "i won the lottery. "you're so dark." [ laughter ] you see somebody else, you say, "woah, what happened "to you?" they're pale. they say, "lost my job, "getting a divorce, i just "got out of the care unit." you go, "you better get "some sun, straighten out "your life." [ laughter ] you don't even have a strap mark. what a loser. [ laughter ] 'cause people act like it's a job. you always say, "nice tan." they go, "oh, well, thanks. "i've been working on it." like it's an accomplishment. something you're real d what'd you do today? "i laid out." well, at least you got something done. [ laughter ] you're so aggressive, what a go-getter. you're gonna be president if you get any darker. [ laughter ] [ applause ] would you say no to a lot more money?

"i got nothing else to do." and, uh, so we land at the airport. there's a big 80-foot boat called a limousine waiting there for us, and, um, the guy says, "come on, "i'll give you a lift home." i go to my mother's house, and we pull up. it's late at night. it's an older neighborhood, you know. >> did you think this guy was for real? >> oh, yeah, by the time i saw the limo, i knew you he wasn't kind of pulling my leg. >> yeah. >> and, uh, so, uh, we get out there, and the limo guy was pulling my luggage out, and it was about quarter to one in the morning. well, did car lights coming on, dogs are barking and all and everything. flannel robe from head to knee, "donald, is that you?" and i'm like, "yeah, ma, "get inside." [ laughter ] i said this guy would never harm me. thinks i'm one of the beverly hillbillies. but, so, he says, "gimme a call "in about a week." you know, and he says, "we'll see what we can "do for you." and i said, "sure, no problem." >> you came out, and-- >> i loaded up the car, drove on out here, uh, had a little second thoughts. did a little gut checking. said, "i must be nuts. "ain't nobody wanna see me "on no tv series." i almost turar >> yeah. >> so i came on out here, and, uh-- >> never acted before? >> no, sir. they threatened to break both my legs if i started taking some acting lessons. yeah. but i did-- but after i read for the network and everything, uh, you know, they called me up and said, "congratulations, "you got the part." and this was like a friday afternoon. i went, "what am i gonna do? "i've got until monday morning "to learn how to act." so i went out-- [ laughter ] >> there's a challenge, all right. >> so i went out and bought me an acting book. >> you got an acting book. >> yeah, i got me "act in front of the camera." well, it says, uh, be nice to the cast and crew, show a little, uh, etiquette and stuff like that. >> yeah. >> you know, how to hit a mark. and then, uh, make sure you find an agent. be best friends with your agent. >> oh, yeah, that's important. >> so i read that, and that was-- >> that was that. >> so you make it sound pretty easy. everybody watching the show is gonna say, "hey, yesso read a book. "he walked out here, "and he's on a tv show "just like that." >> it wasn't quite that easy. i mean, you know, i had to learn a few lines and stuff. >> but after that it was a piece of cake, and mr. hugh wilson, the guy that i did meet on the plane who's the executive producer, you know, our-our almighty executive producer. i can say that to the boss. >> oh, the executive producer on it. >> and, uh-- >> you got all this show business stuff already, don't you? >> yeah, i know how to schmooze and stuff. [ laughter ] >> what did you do before? what did you do before, don? >> uh, i was in graduate school working on my second degree. i was gonna be a high school coach. >> is that right? >> yes, sir, and, uh, i had a few things that kinda-- went kind of defunct. >> yeah. >> matter of fact, the bill collectors, they see this, they'll probably come looking for me. maybe i blacked out and that happened. >> acting is probably gonna make you more bucks than being a high school coach, right, or coaching? >> well, it's a lot more fun. i love hollywood. >> do you? >> yeah. i'm having a lot of fun, yeah. i like this stuff. i'm meeting all kinda-- what's really nice about it is-- >> who have you met so far that's impressed you? >> can you say that? you know, stuff-- >> well, what do you mean? i asked who you met. >> well, i could-- you know, i met jill st. john. >> ooh. >> oh, yeah, that was like-- yeah. >> hey, yo, yo. you're talking heavy duty stuff now. >> i went on over to her and introduced myself, you know. she'd be real impressed, you hear? so, uh, i walked on over to her and talked to her, and i'm sitting there and i'm looking in her face and i say, "man, you know, "i been admiring this lady "for a long time, and i'm "sitting there talking to her "like me and you are right now." >> yeah. >> so, i mean, it's like-- and i sneak in all this-- all she, uh-- are filming movies and stuff? i sneak in-- yeah, sure, go in and introduce people, and like, i'd try and get some autographs and stuff. >> yeah. >> but i wear chef whites on the show, you know? and they think i'm the cook from the commissary.

(audience laughter) - he's killing us with these promotions. you know, i can't believe that anyone would actually fly aeromass to get a free waterpik. - obviously, you've never known the heartbreak of gingivitis. - you know, joe, it's a little awkward working for you and roy when you guys are in the middle of this feud. and i just want you to know where my loyalties lie. - so, you giving away and any free good stuff? - no. - see ya. (audience laughter) you know, roy, it's always a little awkward working for you-- - have another waterpik. a little quiet over here, hackett. who died? oh, that's right, your business. they are not gonna be driven away, no matter how many stupid little gifts you give them. - announcing the arrival of sandpiper flight 2 from boston. (audience laughter) - that's flight 2? where are all the passengers? - arriving on aeromass with their free point and shoot cameras. we have to talk. - you're right. - sure thing. come on, fay, let's go. i've given it a lot of thought, and i think i've come up with a plan. - now, just wait a second, brian. i've been thinking a lot about this too. here's how i see it. the situation is this. roy, has more capital than we do, so he can undercut our prices. everybody with me so far? - gotcha. - the result of this is that more people are flying on his airline than are flying on our airline - that's it, i just thought a little recap might help. - well, now that we're up to speed, would you like to hear a real solution? - sorry i'm late, i heard there was a meeting. - yeah, i'm sorry, helen, we're sort of in the middle of a sandpiper business. - uh-huh, what's our plan? - our plan? - well yes, i'm gonna marry joe, so you know, i naturally have an interest in the future of the airline-- - i know you do. lved. she just wants to listen in. - oh, okay, well that's what they said about yoko ono. (audience laughter) - so, how are we gonna beat roy? - i have a plan. - sweetie, didn't you have an idea? - what, to put you on our next album? - oh! all right, yeah. well, you know, we should not compete with roy and his frills and just concentrate on being who we are. - well, i hate to break it to you, but we never left basics. - well, do you have a better suggestion? - as a matter of fact, i do, love. (audience laughter) one way to get an edge, to really get an edge over aeromass is to have a distinctive personality. and how do we get that distinctive personality? with a celebrity spokesperson. - i have a cousin who says she knows emmanuel lewis. (audience laughter) now, i was thinking of someone who is synonymous with flight. like say, a former astronaut? perhaps charles ace galvin? - oh yeah, that's a great idea, yeah. but why stop there? i mean, while we're at it, why don't we get the queen of england, or the pope? or mother theresa? - i'm serious about this, joe, i really am. ave to do is pay his expenses and he'll come look us over. - really? - [brian] yes. - you're not kidding me? ace galvin? that would be amazing. he's one of the reasons i got into flying. the guy's a national hero. - oh would you stop that, that's so annoying. - okay fine, i'll just say it. i mean, do you really want to risk every cent you have on some celebrity? - he's not just a celebrity, helen. the man has walked on the moon. he is an institution. - oh, i love that cereal. it's got wheat on one side, corn on the other, it's crispy, it never gets soggy. - joe, joe. listen, when we became partners, okay, we always said that we would decide everything together. we wouldn't make a move unless we were both onboard. we would always agree. so if you don't think this is a good idea, i'll drop it right now. - you already called him, didn't you? - he's right outside. lieutenant colonel charles galvin. - just call me ace.
