00:30Walter Matthau, George Burns, and Richard Benjamin
00:32are making a movie about a vaudeville team
00:35who have been the funniest men in America for 43 years
00:37and have hated every minute of it.
00:39Roll it!
00:40You mean to tell me you haven't spoken to Al Lewis in 11 years?
00:43I haven't seen him in 11 years.
00:45I haven't spoken to him in 12 years.
00:47I don't hate him.
00:48I can't stand him, but I don't hate him.
00:50If it was all that bad, why did you stick together for 43 years?
00:53Al Lewis was the best.
00:55The best.
00:56You understand?
00:56I understand.
00:58As an actor, no one could touch him.
01:00As a human being, no one wanted to touch him.
01:08ABC is doing a big television special next month.
01:11It's an hour-and-a-half variety show,
01:12having some of the biggest names in show business.
01:14Why couldn't you get me on that show?
01:16I got you on that show.
01:17Alone?
01:18No.
01:19With Lewis?
01:21Yes.
01:22Then you ain't got me on the show.
01:25Good God.
01:27Because the Sunshine Boys is actually Neil Simon's tribute to all of America's comics,
01:32the great show business fraternity, the Friars Club, toasted Matt Bowne Burns as they began production.
01:37George Burns, an old friend, and Walter Matthau, a new friend.
01:42Ladies and gentlemen, again.
01:44Excellence in art.
01:45Here they are.
01:47The Sunshine Boys.
01:50The Sunshine Boys.
01:50And I want to thank you for that little introduction.
01:53And if I were you, I'd start thinking about using a cigar holder like I'm using.
02:00You don't need it now, but when you get to be my age, when you put a cigar into a
02:05holder, it's exciting.
02:09Walter Matthau and George Burns have made a movie saluting all the great comedians America has produced.
02:15On the set of The Sunshine Boys, George Burns was asked who he felt were the funniest men of all
02:20time.
02:21Walter Matthau and my show.
02:29Next time you give me the finger, say goodbye to the finger.
02:35I got a terrific idea.
02:37Instead of working together again, let's never work together again.
02:42How is it going to look if I go into the office tomorrow and tell them I couldn't make a
02:45deal with my own uncle?
02:48You're old-fashioned. I'm still new-fashioned. I'm still in demand. I'm still hot.
02:54If this room was on fire, you wouldn't be hot.
03:17Good night.
03:19Good night.
03:21Good night.
03:42Good night.
