Clips from Taxi - Bobby's Acting Career (S01E01)

"No, no, no."
Taxi
"( changing words )"
Taxi
"Latka, if you don't mind, I'll make the toast."
Taxi
"To Bobby's new job."
Taxi
"Hear, hear."
Taxi
"Ni-nice toast."
Taxi
"Okay, come on, come on. Everybody, sit down."
Taxi
"Yeah, come on. Okay."
Taxi
"ELAINE: Well, Bobby, why don't you just tell us"
Taxi
"about the job you're going to get."
Taxi
"Oh, well..."
Taxi
"When I found out I didn't get the commercial this morning"
Taxi
"I really started hustling."
Taxi
"I went into every casting office in this town."
Taxi
"Some guys even had me read for parts, you know?"
Taxi
"And that's pretty good when you're going in cold, you know."
Taxi
"Yeah, I'll say."
Taxi
"Who am I kidding?"
Taxi
"That's great when you're going in cold!"
Taxi
"And some of them even told me that I was in the running."
Taxi
"So one of them should come through, right?"
Taxi
"Sure."
Taxi
"I'm gonna get a call on my phone before midnight tonight"
Taxi
"when the three years are up,"
Taxi
"and I'm not going to have to give up acting."
Taxi
"Oh, you know, it's just so great"
Taxi
"when you know it in your heart, man."
Taxi
"You don't have to sweat it anymore."
Taxi
"( soft agreements )"
Taxi
"Well, maybe somebody is going to call you, Bobby,"
Taxi
"but how do you know they're gonna call before midnight?"
Taxi
"Well, that's simple logic."
Taxi
"You see, when you're good at something"
Taxi
"you end up doing it."
Taxi
"Now, I'm not going to end up acting"
Taxi
"unless I get a phone call before midnight. So..."
Taxi
"I'm gonna get a call before midnight."
Taxi
"Isn't it wonderful?"
Taxi
"I mean, so what if he doesn't get a call tonight?"
Taxi
"He's feeling really great right now."
Taxi
"Yeah. So what if you're falling off the cliff?"
Taxi
"The view is wonderful on the way down."
Taxi
"What does that mean?"
Taxi
"that he's setting himself up for too big a fall."
Taxi
"Alex, don't."
Taxi
"Sure. We all leave here at 11:59"
Taxi
"with a song in our heart,"
Taxi
"and hope we don't hear the thud."
Taxi
"I just don't think it's appropriate"
Taxi
"right now."
Taxi
"Hey, uh, what are you guys talking about?"
Taxi
"Nothing. Alex is just getting a little nervous."
Taxi
"Now come on, Elaine. I got to tell him what I'm thinking."
Taxi
"I'm his friend."
Taxi
"Hey, don't worry, Alex."
Taxi
"I just explained to you"
Taxi
"why I'm gonna get the call before midnight, right?"
Taxi
"because you're so good at acting."
Taxi
"Exactly."
Taxi
"Great actors get jobs."
Taxi
"I'm a great actor."
Taxi
"Bobby, we got to be rational here."
Taxi
"I am being rational."
Taxi
"I'm good."
Taxi
"Good people do what they're good at and I'm good."
Taxi
"I got to act, Alex,"
Taxi
"because I'm good."
Taxi
"Bobby, listen..."
Taxi
"I'm good!"
Taxi
"Look, just because someone doesn't call you"
Taxi
"by midnight doesn't mean..."
Taxi
"The only way that phone's not gonna ring"
Taxi
"before midnight, Alex,"
Taxi
"is if I'm not good enough."
Taxi
"And you're not going to tell me..."
Taxi
"Maybe you're not that good."
Taxi
"Doesn't mean that"
Taxi
"with a little more experience, you couldn't get there."
Taxi
"All right, Just stop it. All right?"
Taxi
"Now let me talk, all right?"
Taxi
"When I was six years old, Alex..."
Taxi
"my father died,"
Taxi
"and I never had any older brothers."
Taxi
"Had a couple of older sisters, but, uh..."
Taxi
"till I met you"
Taxi
"I don't think there was ever a man in my life"
Taxi
"that I felt was on my side."
Taxi
"I mean, I had lots of friends and everything,"
Taxi
"but I always felt"
Taxi
"there was something special between you and me."
Taxi
"And you knew that, Alex."
Taxi
"You knew how I... how I looked up to you"
Taxi
"and respected you, and counted on you."
Taxi
"Oh, come on, Bobby..."
Taxi
"Please, just... let me finish all right?"
Taxi
"What you just said just now--"
Taxi
"I mean, it would have been okay coming from a friend,"
Taxi
"but not from somebody I felt about"
Taxi
"the way I feel about you."
Taxi
"I don't know how to tell you, I..."
Taxi
"you just hurt me now, Alex..."
Taxi
"Except to say that..."
Taxi
"it feels like, uh..."
Taxi
"like my father just died again."
Taxi
"Oh, come on, Bobby."
Taxi
"No, it's a little late for that, man."
Taxi
"I needed you and you let me down."
Taxi
"Bobby, Alex is only trying to..."
Taxi
"You stay out of this, Elaine!"
Taxi
"It's between Alex and me."
Taxi
"There's only one thing"
Taxi
"that I want from you right now, Alex."
Taxi
"And that's for you to get out of here."
Taxi
"( voice breaking ): I don't want to see you again."
Taxi
"I don't want to talk to you."
Taxi
"I don't want to know you, man!"
Taxi
"Bobby..."
Taxi
"All right, come on, all right?"
Taxi
"Just get out, all right?!"
Taxi
"Just get the hell out of here!"
