THANK YOU FOR COMING TO SEE US!
I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, THESE ARE
NICE SUITS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THIS IS A NICE SUIT, TOO.
>> BUT THAT'S A NICER ONE.
>> James: WELL, YOU KNOW, I'VE
GOT TO SAY, THESE ARE THE NIGHTS
WHERE I FEEL VERY, VERY LUCKY TO
HAVE THIS JOB BECAUSE IF SOMEONE
TOLD ME THIS WAS A DINNER PARTY
I WAS INVITED TO TO JUST SIT AND
BE IN THE COMPANY OF YOU TWO FOR
ABOUT A MOMENT, I WOULD BE
THRILLED, AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU
ARE BOTH THERE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> James: I REALLY AM.
IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME ON THE
SHOW, STEVE, THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> James: YOU'RE BOTH HERE.
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT "RESERVOIR
DOGS."
WE HAVE TO.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
LOOK AT THESE YOUNG THINGS!
NOW, DO YOU BOTH REMEMBER THE
FIRST TIME YOU MET?
>> I THINK -- WASN'T IT AS
HARVEY'S HOUSE, THE HOUSE HE WAS
RENTING?
>> YES.
( LAUGHTER )
CALM DOWN.
>> James: YOU MET AT HARVEY'S
HOUSE?
>> HE WAS RENTING A HOUSE IN
MALIBU, BUT THE ADDRESS SAID
WHATEVER SUNSET BOULEVARD.
>> James: RIGHT.
I WAS STAYING IN ECHO PARK,
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW,
WAS WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
TOWN.
I THOUGHT I'M NEAR SUNSET
BOULEVARD, I CAN GET THERE IN
TEN MINUTES.
I'M DRIVING, DRIVING, DRIVING.
I'M, LIKE, WHERE IS IT?
I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO A GAS
STATION.
THE GENTLEMAN DIDN'T SPEAK
ENGLISH THAT WELL AND HE JUST
LOOK AND WENT -- HE JUST KEPT
GOING LIKE THIS AND I DROVE FOR,
LIKE, 45 MINUTES IN A PANIC
BECAUSE I KNEW I WAS GOING TO BE
LATE.
YOU WERE SO SWEET.
YOU WERE SO SWEET TO ME.
>> I MUST HAVE BEEN UNDER THE
INFLUENCE.
>> I'M SURE YOU WERE.
BECAUSE I REMEMBER HARVEY, AT
ONE POINT, HARVEY -- THERE WERE
A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT HE DID
FOR ME, CARVEY KITEL -- HARVEY
KITEL.
HE HAD A LOT TO DO WITH MY
WEDDING.
BUT I REMEMBER SNIGHT THE VAN
WITH HIM AND I THINK WE WERE
GOING BACK TO THE HOUSE AND HE
STARTED TALKING ABOUT HIS AGE.
HE SAID, I'M LOOKING AT THE
BACKDOOR OF MY LIFE, TIM.
HE SAID, I'M LOOKING AT THE END
OF MY 50s.
IT WAS THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY
THING.
HE WOULD DO THOSE UTTERLY SORT
OF DEEP THINGS CONSTANTLY WHILE
WE WERE ALL JUST (  BLEEP  ) ABO
AND CAUSING TROUBLE, HE WOULD
HAVE -- HE HAD KIND OF A DEEP
LINE TO HIM.
I LOVED HIM FOR THAT.
>> James: DID YOU KNOW WHEN
YOU WERE SHOOTING "RESERVOIR
DOGS," DID YOU HAVE A FEELING
YOU WERE DOING SOMETHING
BRILLIANT ON SET?
>> I FELT LIKE WE WERE DOING
SOMETHING AMAZING BUT IT DIDN'T
MEAN IT WOULD TRANSLATE.
I'VE WORKED ON FILMS WHERE I
THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE GREAT BUT
THEN NOBODY SEES IT.
SO I FELT IT WAS SPECIAL.
I FELT QUENTIN WAS SPECIAL.
I NEVER HAD COME ACROSS SOMEBODY
WHO MADE HIS FIRST FILM -- FIRST
OF ALL, HE WAS SO EXCITE AND
MADE EVERYBODY FEEL LIKE WE WERE
WORKING ON OUR FIRST FILM, AND
HE WAS SO CONFIDENCE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH CONFIDENCE
COME OUT OF A FIRST-TIME
DIRECTOR.
IT WAS JUST, WOW, HE KNOWS WHAT
HE'S DOING.
