Eminem:
Everyone in this fucking room is either staring at us, wanting to take a fucking picture. Ira Wright: [Ira takes a picture of Eminem and George from across the room] Yeah. Got it. Ray Romano: E-mail that to me. Ira Wright: I will. That's awesome. Ray Romano: Yeah. Eminem: Who the fuck is that guy right there? Eminem: [Eminem points at Ray] That fucking guy right there. George Simmons: What? Ray Romano's bothering you? Eminem: Who? Ray, Ray who? George Simmons: Ray Romano, the guy from Everybody Loves Raymond. Eminem: I don't give a fuck what show he's on. I'll fuck this motherfucker up, man! George Simmons: Hey. Eminem: Hey, Ray! Ray Romano: Hello, Marshall. Eminem: Fucking problem here, buddy? [Ray shakes his head confused] Eminem: Would you like to fuck me? Is that what this is? Ray Romano: [to Ira] I don't get it, man. What's going on? Eminem: Would you like me to fucking bend over for you right now? Ira Wright: [whispering] Say no. Ray Romano: No, man. Eminem: [to George] I just gotta always be on my toes, man. You know? George Simmons: I see that, but not with Ray Romano. Ray Romano: [to Ira] This is why I don't go out of the house. Ira Wright: I thought everybody loved you. See more » |
