[With two staffers spotted fooling around all over the workplace—not just in their boss’s office, but within view of him, sidekick Hank, and a guest onstage, where they can be distracted—talk-show host Larry Sanders feels obliged to reprove the couple.]
Larry Sanders [played
by Garry Shandling, only his back seen in this picture]: “I’m in the middle
of a Peter Falk interview, and if we have to look up and see you doing that,
what are you thinking?”
Jerry Capen [played
by Jeremy Piven, pictured] [taking Sally’s hands]: “Sally
and I are very much in love, and we are spontaneous people.”
[Sally reaches out to protest, but Jerry
brushes her off.]
Jerry: “Hold on, hold on.
If you’re lucky to find someone…”
Sally [played by Kimberley
Kates] [putting her hands together, pleading]: “Mr. Sanders…Can I
say something?”
Larry: “Please.”
Sally: “I’ve accepted a
position on Saturday Night Live as a talent coordinator.”
Jerry [stunned
and angry]: “What?”
Sally: “I’ll be leaving
for New York on Tuesday.”
Jerry: “When were you
planning on telling me?”
Sally: “I don’t know. I
didn’t know when to tell you.”
Jerry [sarcastically]:
“Oh,
this is a good time. I don’t think you ever were going to tell me.”
Sally: “I was going to
tell you tonight.”
Jerry: “Oh, really? You
really were going to tell me?”
Larry [philosophically,
like a marriage counselor]: “Any
time is a good time for open and honest communication. This is a good start.”
Jerry: “I can’t believe
this. I—I—I put everything…” [As Larry begins to interrupt]. “Hold on a
second.” [Back to Sally] “I put everything on the line for you.”
Sally: “What did you
think this was? We had a great time, but this is another great opportunity for
me.”
Jerry: “In New York?”
Larry: “Good. You’ll have
a little time to get away from each other, test the relationship, and—this is
very positive.”
Sally: “Besides that,
this gives me a chance to be with my boyfriend again.”
Jerry [shouting]:
“You have a boyfriend!”
Sally: “Yes, I do…”
Jerry: “Oh, God!”
Sally: “…a writer on the
Letterman Show.”
Larry: “That is
wrong on so many levels. I don’t know where to start.”—The Larry Sanders
Show, Season 1, Episode 8, “Out of the Loop,” original air date Oct.
3, 1992, teleplay by Marjorie Gross, directed by Ken Kwapis
