Watch the progression of the episode: The late-night talk at Gray’s Papaya about a fellow comedian’s death, tossed off while choking down poisonous junk food. The tension between Louie and Melissa Leo at dinner. The ugly behind-closed-doors fight between the married couple after dinner. The joke-free, laughing conversation in the bar.

Louis CK has put the final scene on youtube because "alot of people have been discussing this scene and I thought it would be helpful to have it on here as a reference." yes, but mostly so we could watch it over and over again. so great.

Et tu, Mr. Socko?
ReplyDeleteIt's about values. And that was without price.
ReplyDeleteI had that same thought watching it tonight.
