Hello Again.

Excerpt from the American comedy show ‘Taxi.’

Judd Hirsch and Marilu Henner (the ‘sensible’ ones) are having a conversation about the fact that Judd has just phoned his wayward daughter in Brazil. The Rev Jim, a (not really) reformed junkie played by Christopher Lloyd interposes:

‘Did you know there are three million, eight hundred and forty seven thousand, nine hundred and sixty one telephone subscribers in Brazil?’

J and M regard him quizzically, and then continue the conversation. Jim interposes again:

‘And did you know that the total revenue from telephone subscriptions in Brazil is a hundred and forty seven million, five hundred and seventy two thousand, six hundred and eighty two dollars?’

J and M stop talking and regard him with amazement. Judd asks:

‘Jim, how do you know these things?’

It’s Jim’s turn to look amazed.

‘You mean I’m right?!’

I get it!

Am I back? S’ppose so.
