initiating the response:-

Michael: Are you saying that no one in New York will work with me?

George: No, no, that's too limited...no one in Hollywood wants to work with
you either. I can't
even send you up for a commercial. You played a *tomato* and they
still went a half day over schedule because you wouldn't sit
down.

Michael: Of course not, it wasn't logical.

George: YOU WERE A TOMATO! A tomato doesn't have logic! A tomato can't
move!

Michael: That's what I said, George, if he can't move, how's he gonna sit
down? I was a
stand-up tomato, George; a juicy, sexy, beefsteak tomato! Nobody
does vegetables like me! I did a whole evening of vegetables
off-Broadway! I did the best tomato, the best cucumber...I did
an endive salad that knocked the critics on their ass!

Hee hee hee hee! Bless your heart, Mark. Here's more for you.

"Pull back, I'd like to make her look a little more attractive."
"How do you feel about Cleveland?"

"Why is a guy named Les thanking you for a lovely night by the fire?
Michael, are you gay?"

'I know I'm just a worthless old has-been."
"Well, were you ever famous?"
"No."
"Well, how can you be a has-been?"
"I love how you never let me get away with anything."

"This is rage. I'm playing rage."

"I'm talking to the Coast."
"This is a coast, too, George. New York is a coast."

Actually, I was trying to find the *whole* script, especially the soap
speech at the end.
