THE MAN WHO SLOWLY STOPPED TALKING: VANDERBILT VIM

 

Tai: so why have you stopped talking?

Luke Russert: i volunteered to be Gloria Vanderbilt's caregiver. she was getting on in years. as a favor for my fellow newsman buddy Anderson Cooper. i was all ready to hear the juicy stories, how Cameron Crowe had bought at auction the secret love letters Frank Sinatra penned for Gloria Vanderbilt. well i get there and she's a dry zucchini!!! she doesn't say ANYTHING!!! when you tell her something she forgets it one minute later. slowly i start to learn that it's useless trying to talk to her, i realize that it's better to just not talk anymore altogether...

Tai: oh come on, she wasn't that bad. why she did that thing just recently, right?...

*gauzy gauzy gauzy*

Gloria Vanderbilt: yes i am wearing the jeans. dears and gentlehearts i must tell you that just because you're old doesn't mean happy hour needs to end. a grandma can still have her strawberry margarita. so i petitioned on behalf of the people to have a law passed that continued serving alcohol at nursing homes. i drove up to my home in a Munsters buggy with my crate of Zima. Morrissey was there at my party.

Morrissey: this isn't my Uncola!!!

Gloria: that Morrissey, he's such a dear. he is so zany.

Anya Taylor-Joy: women don't Method-act because we have things to take care of and can't be assholes on set. 

Uta Hagen: that is very insightful, young woman. i am sorry for creating Nicolas Cage...

Andy Murray: now it's Chipotle jalapenos? now you'll REALLY never see my brother playing tennis again. is he my twin brother? Jamie is a girl's name.

Jamie Murray: i'm just the brother, why bother.

Cindy Lorenz: does this mean no Del Monte Center date?...

Safeway customer: can i talk to you about the troubles in my life?

Chola Butt: i mean not right at this moment. you know? i'm stacking the dental floss here. the floss that still has the wax. that's what a date is for.

Safeway customer: can we go on that date on your lunch hour?...

Christopher Nolan: okay but why am i THE ONLY PERSON who gets to do these things?...

Last Action Hero: the villain is Evil Prince Harry?

Evil Prince Harry: i've killed people smarter and younger than you. 

Austin O'Brien: i'm ten years old, that is such a weird sentence to say. you're saying you killed, like, Jimmy Neutron?

Charles Dance: i was born NOT to be a coalminer...

Glen Hansard: Irish sodabread is made of tears.

Marketa: it tastes like the swollen season...

pickleball: we tried to be cool and different like ping-pong or table tennis but it didn't work.

Nell Carter: i knew i was the fat lady. so i did it all in my 30s. i lived my whole life in my 30s: the Broadway fame, the TV show, the heavyset sex, the opera, the love.

Blossom's brother: you got your break...

Robert Redford: i didn't want the Hollywood fame. i just wanted to be the Gorton Fisherman and call it a day.

Caped Crusader: sometimes at night there are people in a museum who are there cleaning the glass case housing the crown jewels...

Shorey Wesen: my boyfriend looks like a Callum...

Luke Russert: where do i go from here?

Tai: you have to learn how to talk again. to women. as friends. i'll teach you...
