LATE SHOW
by
Nezee
Letterman:
Our
first
guest
is
a
talented
actor.
He's
starring
in
a
new
film.
It's
called
The
Cell.
It
opens
August
18th.
Here's
Vince
Vaughn,
ladies
and
gentleman.
Vince
enters.
Letterman:
Welcome
back
to
the
show.
Vince:
Nice
to
be
back.
Thanks
for
having
me
back.
Letterman:
Last
time
you
were
here
people
were
telling
me
that
after
this
show
-
maybe
it
was
right
after,
maybe
it
was
the
next
day,
I
don't
know-
you
went
out
and
hurt
yourself,
was
it
badly,
was
it
a
bad
injury?
Vince:
Just...
Feelings
wise.
I
hurt
my
feelings
badly.
Letterman:
Were
you
in
kind
of
an
embarassing
situation?
Vince:
Yeah.
I
went
and
uh...
Letterman:
What
happened?
Vince:
I
went
to
a
premiere
for
a
movie
I
did,
uhh,
that
Joaquin
was
in
with
me.
Letterman:
Joaquin,
Joaquin...
Vince:
Phoenix.
Letterman:
Phoenix,
of
course,
yeah.
sure.
Vince:
And
there
was
some
people
in
rock
and
roll
bands.
I
don't
know
all
the
people
in
the
bands,
I
know
Twiggy
was
there,
who's
a
friend
of
mine
from
the
Marilyn
Manson
band,
but
uhhh...
Letterman:
Happenin'
acts?
Were
they
all
happenin'
acts?
Vince:
From
what
I
could
understand
from
the
kids'
responses
they
were
happening.
These
bands
were
happening.
So,
uhh,
Joaquin
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
for
us
to
go
up
and
do
a
number
and
at
that
point
in
the
night,
I
thought,
"yeah
that's
a
great
idea,
let's
go
up
and
do
a
number."
Letterman:
Now
what
do
you
mean
by
"that
point
in
the
night"?
laughter.
Vince:
We
were
a
little
peeled(?
I
have
no
idea!),
we
were
a
little
peeled
up.
Letterman:
Really?
Vince:
Yeah.
laughter.
Letterman:
Alright,
now,
uh,
uh,
should
I
know
this?
I'm
not
sure
that
I
do.
Are
you
musical?
I
mean,
and
if
so,
how...
Vince:
No.
Letterman:
No,
you're
not?
Vince:
When
I
was
in
Junior
High,
we
had
kids
that
would
sing
and
then
we
had
listeners,
and
I
was
always
a
listener.
laughter.
Vince:
Not
even
good
at
the
recorder.
Bad
at
the
recorder.
Letterman:
But
somehow
on
this
particular
night
you
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea...
Vince:
I
thought
it
was
a
good
idea.
At
this
point
I
said,
"You
know
what,
we're
with
the
rock-n-rollers,
get
on
stage
and
make
it
happen
for
everybody.
Letterman:
And
the
rock-n-rollers
were
going
to
work
with
you
on
this?
Vince:
They
were
going
to
play
some
stuff.
We
covered,
uh
Little
Sister,
Elvis'
Little
Sister.
Letterman:
AHHHH!
Vince:
And
Joaquin
was
smart.
I
think
he
played
the
tambourine.
I
was
the
singer.
Letterman:
Really?
Do
you
know
the
lyrics
to
the
song?
Vince:
I
do
know
the
lyrics
to
the
song.
Letterman:
Well,
there
you
go.
Vince:
And
if
I
didn't
know
them,
i'd,
you
know,
Cab
Callaway
it
there
while
I
was
messing
up.
So
we
went
up
and
we
sang.
I'm
sorry,
do
you
have
something
to
say?
Letterman:
I
was
just
going
to
say,
you
can
probably
get
away
with
this
if
you've
got
like
a
happenin'
band
behind
you.
Vince:
No.
You
sound
all
the
worse
because
they're
really
good
and
it
just
accents,
it
accents
how
bad
you
are.
Letterman:
Oh,
okay.
Vince:
In
my
mind
I
think
"yeah,
it's
gonna
be
good"
and
i'll
get
up
there
and
not
good.
But
that's
not
how
I
hurt
myself.
So
it's
over,
goodnight.
They
kind
of
stop
the
song
halfway
through.
I
wasn't
sure
why.
(laughter)
But
I
felt
maybe,
you
know
what
I
mean?
So
then
of
course,
i'm
like
"goodnight
New
York"
making
a
joke,
hahaha,
funny
kid.
TRIP,
and
fall
down
on
my
way
off
the
stage.
But
of
course
in
front
of
the
rock-n-rollers
I
just
gotta
make
it
like
that's
part
of
the
night.
(makes
the
"rock
on"
hand
sign)
Whatever,
man,
whatever.
(laughter)
My
legs
killin'
me,
my
leg's
killin'
me.
I
go
back,
like
the
fetal
position,
I
have
ice
on
my
leg.
And
they're
my
friends,
they
wouldn't
put
me
through
that.
"Those
aren't
my
friends,
those
aren't
my
friends."
Letterman:
Was
there
serious
damage
done
to
the
joint?
Vince:
No,
just
a
bruise.
But
then
I
had
to
call
the
night
short.
I
made
it
like
I
had
other
things
happening,
I
had
a
busy
schedule.
(laughter)
But,
no.
Letterman:
Had
another
gig.
You
were
singing
somewhere
else.
Vince:
I
had
another
gig
playing
somewhere,
yeah.
Letterman:
That's
too
bad.
I'm
sorry
to
hear
that
because
there's
nothing
worse
than
embarassing
yourself
and
also
injuring
physically.
That's
just,
uh,
you
can't
deal
with
both
of
those
things.
Vince:
Very
hard.
One
separately,
you
can
get
past
it...
Letterman:
Absolutely.
Vince:
Both,
put
you
back
for
a
couple
of
weeks.
Letterman:
Very
difficult
to
do
it
gracefully.
And,
uhh,
subsequently
you
went
to
the
party
at
the
Playboy
mansion,
or
wast
that?
Vince:
No
that
was
a
different
night.
(Letterman
laughs)
Kilborn,
Craig
Kilborn...
Letterman:
Host
of
the
Late,
Late
Show
right
here
on
CBS.
Vince:
...big
fan
of
Craig
Kilborn,
he
invited
me.
We'd
never
been
to
the
Playboy
mansion.
He
said,
"Well,
i'll
go.
You
wanna
come
with
me?"
I
said,
"Sure."
But
he
was
invited,
I
was
not
invited.
Letterman:
Now
how
does
he
get
invited?
Vince:
I
don't
know.
He's
very
popular
there
in
L.A.
Letterman:
Is
that
right?
Vince:
Yes.
So
he
brings
me,
he
brings
me
as
his
guest.
And
he
has
a
drive
on
pass
and
they
say,
"okay,
you're
Mr.
Kilborn,
okay
who's
your
guest?"
They
say,
"You
can't
bring
him
into
the
party."
(laughter)
He
said,
"Well,
I
thought
I
could
bring
a
guest."
If
it's
a
girl,
you
can
bring
a
guest-
you
can't
bring
a
guy.
So
then
I
humiliate
myself
by
going
through
my
little
-
Swingers-
"you're
money"-
"you
ever
see
that?"
You
know.
No.
Not
gonna
happen.
So
we
go
back,
we
have
to
go
where
the
tram
parking
is
and
we
take
a
tram
back
up
past
the
security
because
the
people
at
the
tram
knew,
knew
who
I
was
(laughter)
so
I
got
to,
so
sad.
And
then
we
got
in
the
party
and
it
was
like
Bob
Saget
and
me
and
Craig
Kilborn.
(laughter
and
applause)
Letterman:
What
goes
on
at
the
party
there?
Vince:
For
me,
noth-
Obviously
things
go
on,
that
night
nothing
was
going
on.
I
just
kind
of
sat
by
myself
and
that
was
really
it.
I
did
see
the
monkey
cage,
that
was
interesting.
And
they
had
some
flamingos
walking
around-
just
kinda
hanging
out
at
the
party.
Letterman:
Now
is
Hef
always
at
one
of
these
things,
or
he
may
not
be?
Vince:
No,
he
was
there.
Hef
was
there
tonight
and
he
had
his
three
girlfriends
with
him.
Letterman:
Oh,
that's
right.
The
triplets
or
something?
Vince:
The
triplets,
yeah.
I
don't
judge,
that's
not
my
style.
You
know
what
I
mean?
(laughter)
Letterman:
No,
no.
Live
and
let
live.
Vince:
Amen.
Amen.
Letterman:
Yeah,
exactly.
Wow.
I'll
try
to
get
out
there
one
day.
Vince:
Have
you
been?
Have
you
ever
been
out
there?
Letterman:
No,
i've
never
been
out.
Well,
yes
I...
Vince:
You've
been
invited.
You
have
been
haven't
you.
Letterman:
I
have
one
story,
but
it's
too
silly.
Vince:
No
lets
hear
it,
C'MON!
Letterman:
Nooo.
(applause
and
cheering)
Vince:
What
happened
man?
(Vince
and
Dave
laugh)
We
were
so
pathetic
on
ours.
Letterman:
Uhh,
it
all
started,
we
were
at
a
baseball
game-
we
were
at
Dodger
Stadium.
Me
and
a
bunch
of
my
comedian
buddies
were
at
the
ballgame
ya
know...
Vince:
That's
how
it
happens.
Letterman:
...and
like
in
the
5th
inning,
this
beautiful
woman
runs
up
to
us
and
she
knows
one
of
the
guys
in
the
group.
And
she
says....
Vince:
Was
it
this
guy
that
she
knew?
(points
to
Dave)
You?
Letterman:
No,
no,
no,
no,
no.
Vince:
Okay,
okay.
Letterman:
I'm
just
a
boob(?),
look
at
me.
I
don't
know
anybody.
(Vince
laughs)
When's
the
nacho
guy
coming
back?
So
she
knows
this
one
guy,
Tom
Driesen
and
she
says
to
him,
she
says,
"I
need
a
ride
back
to
the
mansion."
Vince:
Right.
How
droll,
how
very
droll.
Letterman:
Yeah.
"I
need
a
ride
back
to
the
mansion."
And
so
the
next
thing
I
know
we
live
in
the
middle
of
the
game.
And
in
the
car
on
the
way
back
to
the
mansion,
the
story
unfolds
that
there's
been
some
kind
of
a
little
tiff
between
her
and
her
boyfriend.
Vince:
Right.
Letterman:
So
she's
gonna
go
hide
out
at
the
mansion.
Vince:
Good
way
for
you
guys
to
get
beat
up.
Letterman:
Yeah.
That's
right,
that's
right.
So
that
was
my
little
story
and
I
can
remember...
Vince:
I'm
with
these
guys,
i'm
with
these
guys
-
i'm
not
with
you
anymore.
Letterman:
That's
right.
No,
i'm
just
part
of
the
transportation
committee.
(laughter)
So
we
go
up
to
the
thing
and
it's-
you
know
I
might
as
well
have
been
blindfolded.
It's
like
a
kidnapping,
I
don't
know
where
I
am.
And
we
let
her
out
at
the
gate
and
she
goes
in.
Vince:
You
never
went
inside?
Letterman:
No,
we
weren't
invited.
Vince:
A
drive-by.
A
drive-by
story.
Letterman:
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
ride
and
goodnight,
that's
all.
Vince:
Any
phone
numbers?
Letterman:
No,
nothing.
But
that's
how
I
live,
that's
my
life.
Vince:
Okay,
I
hear
ya.
Letterman:
That's
how
things
go
for
me.
Uhh,
you're
from...I'm
from
Indiana,
you're
from
Illinois,
right
next
door
to
the
West
there.
Vince:
Yeah.
From
Illinois,
yeah.
Letterman:
What
was
that
like
for
as
a
kid?
Vince:
Illinois?
Letterman:
Yeah.
Vince:
Very
nice.
Very
nice,
yeah.
Lot
of
"kick
the
can",
little
"ghost
in
the
graveyard"
and
at
14
you're
bored.
Letterman:
Right.
Vince:
But
a
good
childhood,
yeah.
Letterman:
And
uh,
you're
family
still
there?
Vince:
Still
there.
Yeah
my
Mom
and
Dad
are
still
there.
Letterman:
And
did
you
have
early
acting
jobs
in
Illinois?
Vince:
Well,
uhh
early
acting
jobs...I
did,
uh
let's
see,
I
went
down
and
got
an
agent.
I
didn't
know
what
I
was
doing.
So
people
are
actors,
are
actors,
i'm
an
actor.
My
first
head
shots
were
like
me
holding
a
tennis
racket,
like
dressed
up
as
a
tennis
player.
(laughter)
And
then
I'd
have
like
a
chef's
hat
on,
like
cooking
the
stew
and
tasting
it.
And
the
photographer's
like
"you
gotta
let
them
know
that
you
can
have
a
lot
of
different
looks
happening.
Letterman:
Oh,
sure.
Yeah.
Vince:
So
I
didn't
know,
I
was
like,
"yeah,
sounds
good
to
me."
And
uh,
helping
your
friends
move.
Glasses
on,
on
the
phone
at
the
table,
but
you've
got
a
secret.
(laughter)
So
those
are
my
head
shots.
I
started
right
at
the
beginning.
Letterman:
Demonstrate
variety,
of
course.
Vince:
My
first
job
was
a
Sears
Roebuck
Industrial
Film.
For
some....almost
like
an
infomercial.
Letterman:
Well,
that's
not
bad.
Vince:
Not
a
bad
gig.
Paid
well.
And
I
think
it
was
a
universal
exercise
machine...when
that
was
the
rave.
And
I
played
the
guys,
I
played
the
guy
who
was
on
the
high
school
basketball
team
and
this
machine
really
helped
me
with
my
rebounding
skills
in
the
off
season.
(laughter)
Really
helps
me
bang
the
boards
or
something,
I
was
finishing
the
last
two-ones,
"how's
it
working?"
"whew,
it
really
helps
me
bang
the
boards-
gives
me
the
strength
I
need."
Letterman:
That's
great.
So
when
you're
done
with
that,
you're
ready
to
go
to
Hollywood.
Vince:
I
thought
so,
yeah.
I
had
the
pictures.
I
had
me
on
the
machine,
in
the
baby
tee,
in
the
half
tee.
yeah.
Letterman:
You
were
on
an
episode
of,
uh,
was
it
Sex
in
the
City?
Vince:
I'm
shooting
it
right
now.
Letterman:
Oh,
you're
doing
it
right
now!
Vince:
I'm
doing
a
guest
spot
on
Sex
in
the
City,
yeah.
Letterman:
Wow,
look
out.
You're
gonna
get
hurt
there
if
you're
not
careful.
Vince:
It's
true.
It's
true.
Letterman:
Some
happenin'
ladies
there
my
friend.
Vince:
Some
happenin'
ladies.
It's
true.
And
it's
been
fun.
I've
been
tired,
i've
been
flying
back
and
forth
from
these
places
and
I
don't
know
if
you've
ever
had
these,
I
have
these
alot
actually.
But
when
you
sit
there
and
you're
kind
of
tired
and
you're
not
sure
what's
happening
and
all
I
can
say
is
God
these
gals
are
really
clever.
They're
really
funny.
And
I
was
just
kind
of
sleepwalking
through
with
the
whole
thing,
not
turning
the
corner.
You
know,
it's
like
excited
to
have
Vince
and
then
kind
of
like
"he'll
cut,
he'll
cut.
I
think
Vince
will
cut
this
episode."
Letterman:
What
is
the
part
you're
playing?
Vince:
Uhh,
I
don't
want
to
give
it
away.
I
don't
want
to
give
it
away,
but
it's
a
good
script.
Letterman:
Now
are
you
playing
yourself?
Vince:
No,
i'm
playing
a
character.
Letterman:
You're
playing
a
guy
on
a
workout
machine.
Vince:
Like
the
mansion,
they
didn't
know
me.
I
had
to...
Letterman:
Now
do
you
get
to
have
sex
with
the
girls
in
the
City?
(laughter)
Vince:
(grins)
Yeah,
yeah.
Letterman:
We
had
Jennifer
Lopez
here
last
night.
Vince:
My
co-star
in
the
Cell.
Letterman:
Oh
my
God,
well
there
ya
go.
Vince:
Did
you
guys
have
fun?
Letterman:
Yeah,
she's
very
nice,
ya
know.
Vince:
Yes,
she
is
a
nice
gal.
Letterman:
I'm
worried
about,
uhh,
Puffy.
(laughter)
Vince:
You
know,
I
just
did,
I
just
did
a
movie
with
Favreau,
who
wrote
Swingers.
Our
first
movie
that
we
did
since
Swingers
that
Favreau
wrote.
And
Sean-
Puffy-
was
actually
in
the
film.
Letterman:
Oh,
is
that
right?
Vince:
Yeah,
he's
in
the
movie.
Does
a
good
job.
Letterman:
Did
you
have
a
nice
time
working
with
Jennifer
on
this
film?
Vince:
I
did.
I
did.
She's
very
funny,
very
sweet.
Letterman:
She's
very
personable.
Vince:
Very
personable.
Yes,
I
think
so.
Letterman:
In
the
back
of
your
mind,
were
ya
(turns
his
head
around
to
look
over
his
shoulder),
was
it
like?
Vince:
No,
not
at
all.
In
fact,
he
was
really
gracious.
He
was
really
gracious,
and
especially
on
our
shoot,
we
would
tease
back
and
forth
alot.
We
had
alot
of
fun
with
him.
Good
sense
of
humour.
Letterman:
Yeah.
Well
that's
good.
(laughter)
Vince:
Yeah.
Letterman:
This
move
is,
explain
this
movie,
this
is-
In
the
clip
she
showed
to
us
it's
a
bizarre
looking
motion
picture.
Vince:
It's
pretty
cool.
The
special
effects-
you
know
kind
of
bigger
explosions
and
that-
but
this
is
very
different.
It's
almost
like
paintings.
It's
very
interesting.
The
visuals
that
this
director
did
are
really
striking,
so
that
was
really
the
big
draw
for
me
in
doing
the
film
was
his
style.
Letterman:
But
the
plot-
She
plays
some
sort
of
parapsychologist,
some
sort
of
a
medium
who
is
needed
as
a
catalyst
to
activate
a
new
method
of
treatment
for
mental
illness.
Vince:
They
have-
kind
of,
yeah,
in
a
nutshell.
(laughter)
In
a
nutshell,
In
a
nutshell,
yeah.
Letterman:
That's
more
of
less
what
it
is,
yeah.
Vince:
That
do
it,
people
who
are
kind
of
in
a
coma
or
an
unconcious
state,
they
can
put
someone
into
their
reality.
Somehow,
through
the
technology.
Letterman:
So
in
this
film
we
really
don't
know
sometimes
what
reality
is,
which
can
be
said
of
life.
Vince:
Yes.
Yes.
Very
profound
Dave.
(laughter)
Very
profound.
Letterman:
Vince,
let's
take
a
look,
tell
them
what
we're
going
to
see
here
in
the
clip.
Vince:
I
think
this
is,
I
think,
if
i'm
right,
this
is
the
clip
where
she's
going
under
and
i'm
trying
to
figure
out
what
it
all
means.
Letterman:
She's
going
into
a
trance.
Vince:
What
would
be
called
a
dream
state,
yes.
Letterman:
Going
into
a
dream
state,
and
then
you,
what
is
your
part?
Vince:
I'm
kind
of
the
guy
who
is
chasing
the
killer.
I'm
an
FBI
agent.
And
i'm
a
little
confused
about
the
dream
state
stuff.
Letterman:
But
you're
not-
you're
in
her
dream,
but
your
not
dreaming
yourself.
Vince:
It's
all
kind
of...
What
you
said
earlier.
(laughter)
Letterman:
Yeah.
(shows
clip)
Letterman:
There
you
go.
The
Cell.
August
18th,
Vince.
Vince:
Yeah,
August
18th.
Letterman:
Well
you
know,
you
always
do
a
nice
job
when
you're
here.
Vince:
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Letterman:
I
hope
to
have
you
back
again
real
soon.
Vince:
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
for
having
me.
Letterman:
Have
a
great
summer.
Vince:
Great
to
see
you
as
always.
Thank
you.
Letterman:
Vince Vaughn, ladies and gentleman.

LATE SHOW
by Angel Kaufman
Dave - Our
first guest is a talented actor who stars in a brand new motion picture, it's
called 'Made', it opened today in selected cities, I just pray to God
your city was selected. Here's the very entertaining, Vince Vaughn, ladies
and gentlemen. Welcome to the show.
Vince - It's
good to be back.
Dave - Now,
I was talking about the film earlier today. I watched it, I really enjoyed
it, it's you and Jon Favreau and...
Vince - Yeah
Dave - Who,
who else is in the movie?
Vince - Uh,
Peter Falk's in the movie.
Dave - Oh,
Peter Falk is great.
Vince - He's
a great actor, Sean Combs...
Dave - Oh,
that's right, yeah.
Vince - Puff
Daddy.
Dave - Now
what was that like, working with him?
Vince - Sean
was great, you know, he was, uh, knew his lines, he was on time...
Dave - Is
he, is he a pretty good actor? He seems like it was alright.
Vince - He
did a good job, he did a good job.
Dave - Now
was, was I, uh, close to being accurate in my characterization of your portrayal
in this film as kind of a guy who just believes for all the world everything's
fine, but he just doesn't have a clue.
Vince - Yeah,
he's the kind of guy who thinks he's a lot cooler than he is.
Dave - That's
right
Vince - He
thinks he's a lot, uh, briter than he is, very tough for me to play, Dave.
But you know what was disappointing was I like the ping-pong ball bit and
I thought that's great and it's funny but I then looked at the ping-pong ball,
it's says made in China.
Dave - Really?
Vince - And
I thought we can't find some american ping-pong balls to drop...
Dave - How
do I know you didn't bring that from outside?
Vince - Let's
grab another.
Dave - Let
me see this.
Vince - There's,
there's 4,000 of them I think that are...
Dave - I don't
think the United States makes ping-pong balls anymore.
Vince - Really?
Dave - Well,
China and ping-pong, I mean, they go...
Vince - They're
very good at it.
Dave - Well,
that explains it.
Vince - They're
very good at it, alright.
Dave - Please
stop making trouble.
Vince - I'm
not trying to make trouble, I was just disappointed with the Indiana, with
the Indiana...
Dave - I'd
like to see where your suit was made.
Vince - But
I'm not, but I'm not, but I'm not dropping the suit, Dave, you know, what
I mean, from the ceiling and that kind of thing, you know how we do it.
Dave - Oh,
you're not dropping the suit, those words are music to my ears, they're dropping
the suit, thank God. Now, uh, well tell, tell this is you and Jon Favreau
again.
Vince - Yes
Dave - He
wrote it, did you write it also with him?
Vince - No,
Jon is sort of the generator of it and comes up with the material and I sort
of, collaborate with him on the story once it's, uh, been written.
Dave - In
similarities to 'Swingers' a little bit don't you think?
Vince - It's
different, I mean, it's, it's similarity sort of in the comic dynamic but,
but, uh, 'Swingers' is a much more innocent film in sort of about guys trying
to get girls phone numbers and that kind of thing, and this movie here, uh,
is more about uh, deals with the mob, but you know, me and Favreau don't really
know anything about the mob so we figured if, if we were gonna do a movie
about it you'd have to be like two losers who really want to be in the mob
and not really have then an opportunity, you know, and so we're like, Peter
Falk sends us on a mission we don't know what we're doing and, and they won't
tell is anything, they don't trust us with anything and then Sean Combs sort
of comes and takes us under his wing.
Dave - And
even when you're in the middle of it, you're not really certain what it is,
are ya?
Vince - Um,
we're not certain what exactly is going on, it's a drop and we're supposed
to keep our mouth shut, which I'm not very good at.
Dave - Yeah,
and, and I don't want to give away the scene but, uh, uh, all throughout the
film, uh, you've been cautioned that you're not gonna get to use a gun, because
nobody wants you with a gun.
Vince - yes...no...
Dave - Because
people, and it seems to make perfect sense like, no, no, no, no, anything
but the gun.
Vince - Right.
Dave - And,
and then there's the big scene and then it just gets funnier from there, I'm,
I'm sorry. How 'bout your Chicago Cubs playing some ball, huh?
Vince - I'm
a big fan of the Cubs and I'm scared to dream, you know, I'm happy that things
are going well but, uh, I, uh, just waiting, you know, I don't think it'll
happen, I don't want to jinx anything but I've just been so, uh, used to and
conditioned to the years of like inevitably things not working out, that well,
but I've been really happy watching, it's been fun watching this year.
Dave - Have
you been to some games?
Vince - I
have been to a couple games. They lost the game that I went to, so I felt
safe I said those are my Cubs, those are my Cubs.
Dave - Now,
are they still leading in their division?
Vince -
They are, they're in first place.
Dave - Well,
wow.
Vince - I
think they're tied for the best record in the national league, although I
don't, I don't know what happened.
Dave - And
they were, they were represented on the all-star team.
Vince - He
got rocked, did you see him? Leiber the pitcher, back to back homers.
Dave - Is
that right?
Vince - Yeah,
but it doesn't count, it's all for show, you know.
Dave - And,
and how, what kind of year is Sammy Sosa having?
Vince - Sammy's
doing alright, you know, he's got a good average and he's not having the
home run chasing season like he's had in the past, but he's, he's playing
well.
Dave - Ok,
alright, we'll, uh, do a commercial here and we'll come back with Vince
Vaughn everybody.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave - Stay
tuned for Elaine Boosler everybody. Did you have a big premiere for the uh,
when I say the movie is, is opening in selected citied, what exactly does
that mean?
Vince - Well,
they're starting small it's kind of hard to come up against the dinosaurs
and the gorillas in the middle of the summer with a small kind of character movie,
you know, so they start it in, in Los Angeles and New York the first week
and it'll move out to Chicago and other cities too, you know, subsequently
there's a web site too, that kind of lists stuff a "Made' web site
that Jon Favreau put together.
Dave - But
don't you think this film will, uh, ultimately do very well?
Vince - I
really don't know, honestly. Like when we made 'Swingers' Dave, uh, I was
just hoping to get some tape, I didn't even have an agent at the time, you
know, so what happened with that movie, we made it for like 250,000 dollars,
it was really shocking that that movie was one, bought, and two that
people sort of responded to it, you know, and so similar with this film here
it's like I really think it's good and I think if people like 'Swingers',
I think it's similar in, in it's character and comedy, but as far as
it translating and doing a lot of business, I have no idea.
Dave - I think
it'll be pretty good. Because people will, uh, know you of course, they know
Jon of course and they know your work together in 'Swingers', so I think you're
in pretty good shape.
Vince - I
hope so, thank you.
Dave - And
was there a premiere for it?
Vince - We
had a premiere, uh, we had a premiere for it last night at this movie theater
and the air-conditioning wasn't working and it was really hot in there so
it was hard to sit through it and watch the movie, you know. I thought it
was embarrassing 'cause it's like, you know, I'm proud of the movie,
it's a really good movie, but it's like they start like an hour late, like,
Sean Combs, I love Sean and but he shows up of course last taking pictures,
you know, so we kind of start a little late, you know, 'cause he's got
some pictures to take and then it's like really hot in, in the theater,
so it's like, you know, you're sweating and it's like I don't even care what
these kids are saying on the screen we'll have to step outside, but the audience
response was nice and that, but...
Dave - Well, don't oversell it, don't oversell it.
Vince - Don't
oversell it, I don't, that won't be good. I learned with the suit and the
ping-pong balls, I learned with the suit and the ping-pong balls. You said,
take your time Vince, take your time. We had a thing with the, uh, Today Show
where I was on that and, uh, I was on the Today Show and, uh, this was a couple
days ago and some guy was there with an orange sign that says 'Carrie, I love
you, will you please marry me?' and flips it over and I figure, you know,
if a guy's gonna be standing in the front with an orange sign this girl probably
is gonna marry him, you know.
Dave - It's
a slam dunk.
Vince - Slam
dunk, so when they cut back I make a joke, I say 'Hey, you know, this is weird
for me, I'm kind of seeing a girl from New York named Carrie, I won't say
dating, who are you calling for? Ha, ha, ha. She says, I'm calling for this
guy, Carrie, will you marry me I know it's a little early and, and the
lady does not say yes. She says, she doesn't really say no, she just
kind of stands there, so this poor guy is crumbling with this sign and melting
so I say 'listen, you know, we're having a premiere there will be some ladies
at the premiere, maybe you want to come out'.
Dave - That's
very thoughtful.
Vince - You
know, and get back in the game.
Dave - Very
nice of you.
Vince - And,
uh, and have a good time, and then I saw him at the premiere and then I got
scared for myself, because I said if this guy's with the orange sign and saying
I want to marry you and then the lady's not saying yes, you know, who is guy
and maybe I let the worst guy possible in the premiere, you know, but everything
seemed to be fine.
Dave - That's
a very nice story.
Vince - I
love that story, let me tell it again, what happened on the Today Show...
Back to the suit, back to the suit.
Dave - Now
were, were you in some kind of a fight and arrested recently?
Vince - I
was, I was in a situation, yeah.
Dave - Now
in the movie you, you and Jon played boxers too.
Vince - Yeah,
but in the movie it's like, we got people that were so over qualified
for us we got the Goosans (I don't know how to spell that) who are like
great trainers and stuff to work with us, and so, I kinda wanted to be in
shape for the movie 'cause I knew we were playing boxers and stuff, but what
happened was is I kinda just started eating cannellonis, I was in
New York and I was like my, you know, my character would probably
eat a couple cannellonis too and so then as I, at first you think it's cool
like DeNiro, people would be like wow, Vince Vaughn kind of gained some
weight, he's a real actor, but when you do that like 2 or 3 movies in a row
they're like this kid's just fat, this kid's fat and this kid doesn't take
care of himself so when we did the boxing sequences they worked out this really,
and the point of it going in was that we would like set up like we're
good boxers, but quickly deteriorate so you realize that we're not, like people
would throw beer on us and they boo us, so we had like a choreographed routine,
but after 3 or 4 takes me and Favs were both so damn tired that like he would
throw punches where he shouldn't, I would be standing where I shouldn't, we'd
start landing and like hitting each other, so it looks good for the film,
but we were so tired. I was like, I can't do it, I can't do it.
Dave - Did
either of you get hurt?
Vince - We
didn't really get hurt, no, our feelings did. Because the Gooses, because
the Gooses would be like, alright, ok, that's one way to do it, you know...
Dave - But,
but the, the other, the, the fight and all of that, that's done with and everything.
Vince - That's
done with, there's a case pending still, uh, uh, obviously with the guy, obviously
with the guy, uh, who, uh, uh, had the knife, so there's nothing I can say
about it, you know, respectively.
Dave - A guy
had a knife?
Vince - Yep.
Dave - Wow,
well, I don't, I don't think I even wanna know about this for God's sake.
Vince - Yeah,
yeah, it was a bad, it was a really bad thing. The one thing I'll say, you
know, everyone is ok thankfully and, uh, I really like the town too of...
Dave - Wilmington.
Vince - Wilmington
a really fun town, we really had a really good time down there, you know,
it was just one particularly bad incident, one, one person with a bad decision,
you know.
Dave - Now,
now do you think you did anything to contribute to this or is it just one
of those deals where, Oh my God, look what happened here.
Vince - The
way that it went down was shocking honestly, you know, and like I said we
can't get into details or specifics of it 'cause there's a case pending and
I'd rather, you know, obviously have it tried where it belongs and not give
any information, you know.
Dave - Well,
well, I hope it all works out for you and I hope this stays, I hope it
doesn't happen again, you don't want to go through that again.
Vince - No,
of course not, of course not.
Dave - You,
you want to take a look at a clip of the thing?
Vince - Yeah,
lets do it.
Dave - Alright,
you know what we're gonna see?
Vince - What?
Dave - Of
the movie, a clip of the movie.
Vince - A
clip of the movie. I thought we were gonna see the, I thought... I thought,
uh, I thought we might have something else dropped that I could pick
up and try to be clever and you could smoke me again. So I didn't, I don't
know what was happening. I don't mean in a bad way, I appreciate it, I love
that humor, I like it, I enjoy it, Oh God, it's so confusing, I get hugged,
I get pushed away, I'm not sure what's supposed to happen.
Dave - It's
like taking boxing lessons from the Goosans.
Vince - That's
right, it's true.
Dave - Uh,
ok now Vince, tell 'em what we're gonna see.
Vince - Uh,
I think in this particular scene 'as luck would have it', the character's
in the most delicious circumstance, I'm really not sure what, what we're
showing why don't we...
Dave - Alright,
lets roll it and see how close he is.
Vince - Oh,
no, this is what's happened, I know what's happening, I know what's happening...
---------------------------------------------------
Scene
---------------------------------------------------
Peter - All
our interactions in the future will be social, if you have any questions,
that are work related, you will direct them to Ruiz. He has my complete
confidence. Everything you need, or need to know is in those envelopes.
Do not open these envelopes until you have left the office.
Vince - I
started opening it before I heard the, do you mind if I borrow a piece
of tape?
Dave - Vince
Vaughn and Jon Favreau.
Vince - That
was, that was, uh, that was Peter Falk obviously and he was sort of,
uh, he was giving us our instructions for our mission.
Dave - It
opens up, uh, today and then soon around the country everywhere. Good to see
you again Vince.
Vince - Great
to see you as always, Dave, pleasure.
Dave - Thank
you very much, nice job. Vince Vaughn. We'll be back with Elaine Boosler
everybody.

LATE SHOW
by Angel Kaufman
Dave - Our next
guest is a talented actor starring in a brand new film, Domestic Disturbance,
it's currently in theaters, here's Vince Vaughn everybody. How ya doing?
Vince - Good
to see you, good, yourself?
Dave - Nice
to see you. Did you see the pets out here goin' nuts like that?
Vince - How
'bout that Bink, man.
Dave - Yeah.
Vince - The
thing that happened was, is you went down obviously you let Bink kiss you or
lick you, something happened, and the owner got a little jealous in that moment
and uncomfortable.
Dave - Do you
think so, really?
Vince - Yeah,
I thought a little bit. And then he was like not cool with it, he was like what's
goin' on man, with Bink? I don't know.
Dave - You know,
I didn't think...
Vince - And
then he went to touch you and you were like, I'm kissing the dog but this is
to much, but he's like, he's like things are cool with Bink now I can't touch
you... I don't know, I don't know, and then what I noticed was when they would
do the flip, there was always a clap before the turn, but I don't know if that's Binks
cue or that's his rhythm to keep his balance going, but there's a lot goin'
on in there.
Dave - There
was a lot going on.
Vince - And
the frisbee was fantastic and the bunny, go to sleep little baby, go to sleep
little baby, go to sleep little baby, yeah, I like it.
Dave - You,
you have pets yourself, ever had 'em in your life?
Vince - I don't
have 'em now. A lot of actors and stuff in Hollywood have pets, but they like
pet 'em once a week and they take a Christmas photo with 'em. They like, they
don't like walk with 'em or play with 'em.
Dave - Is that
true?
Vince - I think
it's fashionable, I think it's like, hey, yeah, I got some dogs come on in here,
boy, come one in here, you know, Rowdy, or whatever the dogs name is, whatever.
But they have like people who walk and feed the dog and they don't do anything,
and I would want to really be a great pet owner.
Dave - Well,
I think that's admirable.
Vince - But
no, I, I, I don't have any pets. I had 'em as a child.
Dave - So you
said the, the Hollywood pets are just affectations?
Vince - I don't
know if I would use those words, nor do I know if I understand those words.
Dave - Oh, I
see, I see. Alright, well, I'll accept that.
Vince - But
I think they're, I think they're kind of for show.
Dave - Well,
when, when you were a, you said when you were a kid you had 'em, you had like
a dog, you had...
Vince - Well,
my name, my dad's name is Vernon so my mom liked the double V's I've said a
lot, but so she would look for names in the dictionary to name the dogs and
if the dog had a name that my mom found interesting that started with a V, that
would be the dog's name, like Vanitus or, or Vero, whatever the meaning was,
that was the dog's name and they were small dogs 'cause she didn't wanna have
a lot to look after, so it would be like a Maltese or something like that. So,
we had one and my mom used to always feed the dog Bologna, it would only eat
the Bologna it wouldn't eat dog food and she, my dad grew up on a farm in Ohio,
and so my mom would go 'that dog just won't eat dog food, he really loves that
Bologna he won't eat the dog food and my dad would say 'well, if you feed the
dog Bologna all the time it's not gonna eat the dog food, but I bet the dog
would probably eat the dog food if Bologna wasn't a', 'I'm telling ya, he really
loves that bologna', driving my dad crazy. So she, we all went out of town and
he stayed home, it was him and the dog alone, it was a showdown is what happened.
Dave - He was
gonna break the Bologna habbit.
Vince - Here's
how he did it... He said the first day in the morning he put dog food in
the bowl, he came home from work the food was still there, he went to, and the dog
was like buzzing around the fridge wanting the Bologna, he goes to bed at night,
he wakes up in the morning, the dog food is still in the bowl, he goes
to work, he comes back and the dog food was gone. So we came home, he said
'I did it, look at that the dog likes it, I thought the dog would only
eat Bologna, but the dog likes the dog food, if you feed it dog food. You
know, I don't know he was like obsessed and he was not happy with the bologna
thing. We were soft kids we disappointed him many times, my dad. 'What
do you feed a dog Bologna for? You don't feed a dog Bologna, you feed
it dog food. It ain't good for it, you're not doing it a favor, look at,
the dog food's gone, look, if it's hungry enough it'll eat it, if it's hungry
enough he'll eat it. I square-danced twice in towns you ain't ever heard
of, that dog will eat it.
Dave - Wait
a minute, I square-danced in towns...
Vince - I square-danced twice
in towns you ain't even heard of, and I'm like...
Dave - I like
that.
Vince - I like
it too. Well, like I grew up, I grew up like in a, like a kind of upper class
suburb or whatever and I'd be like dad can I, you know, go out, 'I square-danced
twice in...' I didn't know what he was talking about. I'm like, alright, man.
Dave - You,
uh, uh, I don't know the chronology of this but you were in New Orleans recently
in the summer?
Vince - Yeah,
I did a guest, I did a, a friend of mine has an show 'Going to California' I went
and did a spot on it for him, and another friend of mine lives in New Orleans,
he owns a bar there, he said you know, why don't you guys stop after you
do the show, it's like a long weekend. His name's Rio, the bar's the El
Matador, nice bar, but the, I didn't ...
Dave - Now,
now am I gonna see anything for that? That plug.
Vince - You might.
Dave - Am I
gonna get a little something out of that?
Vince - Knowing
Rio, you probably will he's a class operation, Dave. I wouldn't hang out
with him if he wasn't, babe. So I go down there and it turns out to be
Southern Decadence weekend. I don't know if you know what that is, but it's
like a big, what is it, a gay pride festival and I think that's great everybody's
gotta celebrate whatever it is they gotta do, but there's not a lot going on
for me in that particular festival.
Dave - I see,
you're on the sidelines.
Vince - I'm
on the sidelines and because it's New Orleans like all the festivals are real
big whether they're throwing beads and they're taking their, 'girls gone wild',
like the videos you see, 'she's wild, she's wild', you know, they're going wild,
these gentlemen are goin' wild and there's like, a bad police officer you know,
the, the, professor with a secret, I don't know. But if you're, if you're out
there, but like you're out there and moving around to restaurants they like
wanna grab or something like that, you can't look at 'em like they're inappropriate
it's like, it's like a festival, it's the weekend, it's the pride. So I stayed
in the bar, we stayed in the bar was our oasis.
Dave - Now,
was that the Matador?
Vince - You
might get something for that.
Dave - Yeah.
Vince - Maybe
you should throw me frisbees and I'll gather 'em up. So, so anyway I, I decide
to do some bartending and I thought, boy, you know, I never really had any training
as a bartender, but I said I'm gonna be a good bartender is what I'm gonna be.
And I'm gonna put a little extra stuff in there like if they order a Jack and
Coke, I'll give them a little extra Jack, I'll make the drink strong and they'll
think I'm a great bartender.
Dave - People
love that.
Vince - People
love that kind of thing.
Dave - Yeah.
Vince - So I
feel confident, I'm pouring stuff, I'm not like 'Cocktail' flipping stuff, but
I got spring in my step and I'm making the thing. And then a guy, a guy, a guy
goes like this to me, I come over and he says 'if I wanted to order a shot of
Jack with a splash of Coke I would've ordered that, I ordered a Jack and Coke',
and at that point I realized that they wanted a balance in the drink and that
what I thought was gonna help and be a good thing, was a bad thing.
Dave - Really?
Vince - And
ny sister was down there and she was next to a guy and she goes, can I have
a kaluha and milk, I said, yeah I'll go get it and then she turned to him and
she, she said, I don't know why I'm ordering a mixed drink, I hear his mixed
drinks suck, but I don't wanna have Vince Vaughn just get me a beer. She
wanted to have me run around and do things for her.
Dave - Yeah,
she wants a little something for her trouble, exactly.
Vince - I gotta
tell you Dave, I love that, I love that story let me tell it again... I was
down in New Orleans...
Dave - Right.
Why don't you uh, I know this is uh, we had uh,Craig Kilborn on uh, I don't
know, 3 months or so ago...
Vince - Is he
more man or is he more myth? I don't know with Craig Kilborn.
Dave - And he,
he was talking about a party, I guess at his house...
Vince - Yeah.
Dave - And,
and you were there and Merv Griffin was there...
Vince - Yes,
it's true.
Dave - And he
told us kind of his version of that evening, why don't you, why don't you fill
in the blanks.
Vince - I think,
I think Craig Kilborn is very funny. I think he's one of the funnier guys I
know. I like Craig very much, and he had a party at his house, but see I don't
know like he has to go around like he has to tell the people who was there like,
isn't it enough that he knows who was there for him, I don't know. But, I go
there and Merv Griffin is one of the guys at the party...
Dave - Merv
Griffin.
Vince - I'm
a guy from Illinois, whatever, to me that's Merv Griffin, that's interesting,
and but I said, you know, I'm gonna talk to Merv Griffin, but then I'm talking
to Merv Griffin and everyone knows Merv Griffin's loaded, but I don't wanna...
Dave - Got a
lot, got a lot of money.
Vince - Got
a lot of, yeah, he's got some cash, a wealthy man. Not that that means anything,
but like people are talking to Merv and they're all looking at him like they
might get a project going, it's like, how've you been, how've you been,
well, I been alright, I got an idea for something, you know what I mean, and
Merv's like kinda feeling stuff. I like Merv, I think he's nice, all of a sudden
the time comes Merv's gonna play the piano for everybody, he's gonna play the
piano is what he's gonna do. So he goes and he plays like songs and he sings
and the whole party comes, I don't know, I found this to be odd, it was a
nice thing, but it was strange. We all went to sit in a room like when you were
a little kid you might put on a skit and your grandparents would sit and watch
the skit and they would go, oh my goodness that's really great you guys are
sailors' or whatever you were doing.
Dave - Or the
professor with a secret.
Vince - Or the
professor with a secret.
Dave - That's
right.
Vince - That's
right, that's right. Uh, so we'd all sit and watch him play the piano, he did
a very good job, but I thought it was like strange a little bit, like it would
be one thing of it would be like a thing like Merv's gonna play the piano just
wait, Merv's gonna play the piano, Merv's gonna... And the whole people come
and we all sit like this like it was like uh, you're in High School and like,
there's no math class today there's a special event.
Dave - But it's,
it's great though, wasn't it great?
Vince - A phenomenal
piano player and a phenomenal singer, but there was a lady there it's unclear
who she was with, no one claimed her, but she was gonna sing the blues,
you know what I mean, she was gonna sing. So Merv was a sweetheart and he accompanied
her and she sang with passion, not a lot of talent, but she sang with passion,
and she sang and she kept singing, but like I'm here, I'm here, I'm, like
angry and I don't know where, where she was coming from but it was not appropriate.
So I left the room because I felt like I'm not gonna feed this lady and make
it like that's ok 'cause it's not ok, I didn't come to Craig's house for that,
I came to enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
Dave - Yeah,
yeah, well, it's like...
Vince - Oh,
where's Bink, babe? You know what I mean?
Dave - Like
a old Hollywood party.
Vince - That's
what, exactly what it is.
Dave - Let's
uh, I want to show, I want to show a clip of the uh, movie, the uh, Domestic
Disturbance with you and John Travolta. Tell people what we're gonna see.
Vince - I'm
not sure what the clip is, uh it's, it's kind of a fun thriller, there's a lot
of jumps and scares, it's a fun, fun ride. And, and I really like Travolta very
much, I think he's a great actor and a nice man. Of course Buscemi's in it...
Dave - It's
a great cast.
Vince - He's
a great actor, a great cast, yeah. Harold Becker and that, it's a fun movie.
Dave - Alright,
we'll take a look and see what it is.

Scene:
John - My son
is living with you, in your house, and I have absolutely no idea what kind of
man you really are, and honestly, that scares the hell out of me.
Vince - Well,
Frank you're a good dad, you know, but uh, before you start letting your
imagination run away with you here, I'd ask you to remember something. It's
true that you may not know me so well, but, you do know Danny.
John - Yeah,
he lies, I know that. He lies to his mother, his grandma, teachers, the police,
oh just about everybody, but...
Vince - But
what?
John - He doesn't
lie to me.
--------------------------------------------
Dave - There
you go, there's trouble there. You got that cold too?
Vince - Yeah.
