The assistant was very polite to Rupert. She gave him her time to listen to his material, gave him constructive advice, and turned him down in a very courteous way.
Deniro, brilliant as always, but I also have to add ...Shelly Hack is perfect ! The smooth talking urban corporate pro, diplomatically giving him the brush off with finesse, and Hack is spot on in her performance
7:15 the running back and forth lol....is like a Scooby Doo skit. 😂... then at 10:03 lol... "pumpkin...ah ja... pumpkin ...you You know name pumpkin?" 😂👍🏻
I love how she beats around the bush about how lame his act is ("we think you have a lot of potential"), because they are already wondering if this guy is a psycho. Or it could just be the standard brush off.
I think his act in the finale is actually not bad-not fitting for a King, but perhaps enough for a courtier. I think that's the point. As Langford says earlier, it takes years, but Rupert is so obsessed that he wants it now, he needs it now and he can't see why he can't have it now. Even though Cathy says sincerely that he could get there.
@@flyingpenandpaper6119 - I'm not sure how sincere she is when she tells him he has "potential." I think she was primarily trying to get him out of there, as he was becoming a bit of a nuisance.
It was a beautifully professionally handled brush off. Basically, "you are not good enough yet, but contact us when you have WORK." Also the security man's brush-off is excellent: very polite but get the hell out.
I love how they keep getting Rupert's name wrong. Pumpkin, Pupnick, Pupper. The guy playing the security chief is probably a retired NYPD detective. Nothing is more embarrassing than being asked to leave a public place. I've been thrown out of a a few but it was because I was drunk, not crazy as Rupert is.
Just watched Joker and the similarities are amazing. Director Todd Philips took the shot of Rupert running in the hallway and incorporated it in the last scene of his film.
I'm a guy, so I don't have a "dream wedding." But if I did . . . Jerry Lewis as my best man? Dr. Joyce Brothers as my wife's maid of honor? Victor Borge playing our wedding march? And my high school principal apologizing to me in front of the entire nation for underestimating me? THAT'S my dream wedding. Dom DeLuise, Nipsey Russell, and Norm Crosby as my groomsmen would be even better.
I always wondered if Scorsese had Cybill Shepherd in mind for that part, but she became unavailable or something. (She was in Taxi Driver in 1976.) Shelly Hack's voice reminds me a lot of C.S.'s.
It would have been funny if somebody called him "Mr. Poopkin". I know this is a mature adult movie, but it still would have brought out at least one small chuckle.
I'll just wait in the comments section for Jerry. I don't mind waiting. I'll just be here.
Winter Haydn, you're really just wasting your time. We won't know anything until tomorrow.
Winter Haydn this is NOT a waiting room. You need to leave NOW.
C'mon Crumpkin, time to go.
I saw what you did there.
Which reminds me of the man who waited so long he forgot what he was waiting for!
The assistant was very polite to Rupert. She gave him her time to listen to his material, gave him constructive advice, and turned him down in a very courteous way.
its very sad hearing his principal apologize on behalf of everyone who affected him negatively and it obviously stuck around.
The more I watch this movie, the more I think it _might_ be my favorite Martin Scorsese film.
"Where is he, out playing golf?"
"Uh, yes."
Jonno's the best 😄
The security guy was very professional. They should use this as a training video
The way he's running with his little briefcase lmao
His little briefcase 💼 😂
Like a Scooby Doo skit..lol..
That secretary was really nice to him. Be nice if he actually took her advice.
Exactly! But I guess he wasn't interested in honing his craft or paying his dues like other comics.
Deniro, brilliant as always, but I also have to add ...Shelly Hack is perfect ! The smooth talking urban corporate pro, diplomatically giving him the brush off with finesse, and Hack is spot on in her performance
I agree. She totally nails the "gatekeeper" aspect of the character.
Lovely voice though
This has to be one the funniest extended scenes in movie history.
7:15 the running back and forth lol....is like a Scooby Doo skit. 😂... then at 10:03 lol... "pumpkin...ah ja... pumpkin ...you You know name pumpkin?" 😂👍🏻
I see a lot of parallels between Rupert pupkin and Travis Bickle. They are both so delusional and disconnected from reality.
If you only knew this would have been related to the Joker movie later on.
I’d rather hang with Travis to be honest.
The moment he sat back down when it's over, they didn't like the tape, he's done...
That's when you know he's really REALLY crazy! 🤣
What a jab at Rupert when he mentions that he'll be contacting his lawyer, & the head of security says "make sure he gets my name right".
Wow, I never even noticed that before. Too funny!
10:10 C'mon. Jerry! Get back to the house. Dude's getting a heart attack, already. LOL
I love that whole phone call. I wonder how much of that was improvised, it just seemed so natural.
7:15 I loved the homage to this in 'Joker'.
I cannot recall it in Joker, where was it?
@@nemgyuri remember the ending in Arkham asylum where he was running up and down the halls being chased?
@@Suave121 in our country he just walked away leaving bloody footprints after killing the psychotherapy woman, maybe alternate endings in countries?
@@nemgyuri yeah that's what happens but if you pay close attention he runs away from someone and they chase after him
I saw Joker in October and this movie months later and thought "that's like when Arthur is running from the guards" lmao

You can tell something is wrong the second you meet him. This is definitely mental illness being ignored.

@@MkeKen67 That's plausible, of course, and I thought about that. But I think her manner shows that she is being honest.

“You had your warning Krupkin.”
“My lawyer will be calling you.”
“Make sure he gets my name right.”
The marriage in the studio scene is the epitome of a teenage revenge fantasy

The following reply is 8 years late, but whatever: Rupert was not in a public place. He got kicked out of a private office suite.
7:15 Joker's ending
I like the girl, she's an odd-ball but consequently oozes a very unique charm.
"He's touching everything". ROTFLMAO!!
"He's a ruin a the house!!"

I love this film
It's my favorite Scorsese picture, followed by After Hours...which is inexplicably not on blu-ray.
When the music starts at around 5:23 that’s the perfect beginning of a brilliant sitcom.
Lmao his ex principal apologized to him 😂
7:15 There’s the Joker ending.
Why is there a waiting area for a late night talk show? And two receptionists. It looks like a dr . Office.
I think the idea is that it’s a production company.
"You had your warning, Crumpkin."
Hey!, that's not Cybil Shepard; That's Shelly Hack.
I always wondered if Scorsese had Cybill Shepherd in mind for that part, but she became unavailable or something. (She was in Taxi Driver in 1976.) Shelly Hack's voice reminds me a lot of C.S.'s.
@@MkeKen67 Both were awesome beauties at the time. You could put those 2 up against any woman in the looks department.

Chock full o'Nuts, indeed! (8:17)
I'm sorry sir, he's not in.
I happen to know that he is. Would you tell him that I'm here please?
"Ahhhaa Mistah Langfuurgh there is couple here...his name is, uh, Pumpkin!"
@ank2000 Like most great movies both interpretations are made possible thus allowing diverse appreciations like a Kafka parable.
Hey I’m getting a heart attack already
Excuse me I didn’t get thrown out of the building..
They walked me out. They walked me out. Lmao.
7:15 Joker reference on the ending scene lol
The table's only set for one
A hill of beans
I don't know why, but my TH-cam app, which never has any trouble with any other clips, keeps choking on these KoC clips. I can't even watch this one.
♥️💏♥️👍
Walter Mitty game strong
So. Much. Cringe.
rita wearing a wig to langford's house was a nice touch. realistic and totally unexpected.
