It's just not there

"Curb your enthousiasm", ultime saison, premier épisode. Après avoir participé à une soirée privée à laquelle il était convié en tant que "people", Larry David se défend de l'impression qu'il a laissée, certain.e.s invité.e.s l'ayant jugé pas suffisamment "cordial" .

— You're saying to me that I wasn't cordial? I most certainly was cordial.

— Do you know what "cordial" means?

— Yes, I know exactly what it means. It means to be polite, to be friendly, and not to tell people what you really think of them and what assholes they all were. Yes. That's cordial.

— You were not cordial. [...]

— I think I did to the best of my ability. I faked cordiality and I feigned interest. [...]

— I'm gonna be honest, I'm disappointed. I was expecting more from my childhood hero.

— I've been expecting more from myself my whole life, and it's just not there.

— Do you accept that it was a bad vibe, actually, and kind of ruined my party?

— I've ruined every party I've ever gone to in my entire life. I have bad energy.

— I just expected that you'd be more grateful.

— I really did the best under the circumstances of a person who hates people and yet had to be amongst them.

— I feel like you are being honest. For someone to admit that they don't like people and they have a bad vibe is not easy.

— I don't like myself. I'm a person.

There's no other side

Extrait impromptu de "Curb your enthusiasm" (qui parlera d'avantage à celles et ceux qui connaissent la série). Dialogue entre Larry David et sa femme Cheryl

— I'm leaving. I'm leaving, Larry. I can't do this anymore.

— You can't do this? What? What? What? What are you t...

— Does that really surprise you?

— What do you mean you're leaving? What are you doing?

[...]

— You know what the thing is, larry? People ask me all the time, "how do you stay with him?" and I always tell them, "there's another side to larry that you don't see." And then I just realized today there's no other side.

— No, there's another side.

— There's no other side! This is it!

— There's a lot of sides. I'm complex!
