Length: 02:23.6
-----START OF CLIP-----
Robin: I didn't talk about this yesterday, but did you see that they
imply in the paper that President Clinton agreed to help John Travolta
with Scientology...
Howard: (interrupting) Yeah, what is that, man.
Robin: In order to get a more favorable portrayal in this stupid movie
"Primary Colors?"
Howard: I can't tell you how that pissed me off, because I have..
Robin: (interrupting) That is worse than a Monica Lewinsky.
Howard: I know.. I.. You see, I don't mind Monica Lewinsky -- I mind a
guy sitting there agreeing to be good to Scientologists so that a
movie can be made nicely.
Robin: Yeah.
Howard: I gotta tell you something: I have had trouble with the FCC; I
think it's wrong. I believe in freedom of speech, and I would suspect
that President Clinton might care about this issue. I can't get a
meeting with him unless, you know, unless I put out a movie about
President Clinton. This is absurd.
Robin: Yeah, now you know how to get to him.
Howard: Yeah.. I'm.. I.. That.. That really bummed me out. And I've..
And I've been such a big supporter, and I've.. and I've gone to bat
for the guy. Like this is a legitimate issue. Scientology? Please.
Robin: They're upset about their "oppression" in Germany.
Howard: Yeah, well, I'm with the Germans.
Robin: So, the President is enlisting the entire government to go over
and help him [might be "them" hard to tell] out.
Howard: Yeah. Ah, you see, that's the thing that bums me out. That's
where Kenneth Star should be involved. I hate that. I don't care
about some oral sex in the Oval Office..
Robin: (laughs)
Howard: ..and that the guys lies about it. I don't care about that.
It's way down on..
Robin: (interrupting) I thought that was rather interesting: this is
what's on his mind.
Howard: Travolta's probably like, "I can't believe the President's
even, like, listening to me." In fact Travolta says that..
Robin: (interrupting) Well, yeah, he said, "I didn't," he said,
"Everybody says Bill Clinton can charm you, how can this guy get to
me?" And, he walked into that office, and he came out, and he said,
"Man, he got to me."
Howard: Right.
Robin: (laughs) "He talked about the one thing that matters: my
Scientology"
Howard: John Travolta must be the dumbest pin on the planet.
Robin: (cackles)
Howard: You know. Any religion that L. Ron Hubbard created.. a guy
who was a.. a.. a.. a Science Fiction writer who even said, "You know
what? Science Fiction is not going well for me -- I'm going to create
some dumb religion.
Robin: He wan't even a /good/ Science Fiction writer.
Howard: No! John Travolta's an idiot.
Robin: (laughs)
Howard: He was.. he was.. ah.. oh.. Vinnie Barbarino.
Unknown guy: Aren't you sick of him too? He always plays, like, "the
nice guy."
Howard: (interrupting) Yeah, well now he even.. even plays guys,
like.. he.. guys with super powers, 'cause it's all he wants. He
thinks Scientology is.. you know.
Robin: Well, he even claims to be able to heal people.
Howard: Yeah.. The goddamn clay table has more brains than him,
alright?
Robin: So, I.. I just was, uh, fascinated with what the president is
up to he's worried about what the /movies/ are going to say about him.
