Did you shoot that here or in New York?

We shoot it here.

My partner, Ed Weinberger, who Andy had told this was going to happen, and he said, Ed, I need you to really punish me, but punish Tony when he comes in.

And he comes in with the two prostitutes.

Ed goes crazy, calls the security guards who are not in on it.

The security guards, like almost in a cartoon, drag him and throw him out of the gate.

Where he calls Ed and said, thanks, that was one of the greatest.

No, it was sort of great because you'd go over and give him a note.

And he'd do it exactly.

But as you gave it to him, he'd be like, Andy, wondering who you were and stuff like that.

But then he did the notes solidly.

Because he stayed in Lanka?

Yeah.

He did amazing work on the show.

Oh, yeah.

The barman, yeah.

He came from a country that he invented a language.

He talked a foreign language.

He was vaguely Eastern European-ish.

A language on the show so that we can make up the customs of this mythical country and got episodes out of it.
