darby: What's next for Robert Schimmel?
Robert: A one-man show.

R: It all depends on what movie or book it is. Would I want to read the book for Collateral Damage? No!
d: I didn't even want to see the movie. The Muppet Show or Sesame Street?
R: Sesame Street.
Melissa: I can't believe you picked Sesame Street.
R: Why?
M: I was trying to mentally tell you to pick the Muppets, because that was my favorite.
R: He's not interviewing you.
d: Why Sesame Street?
R: Sesame Street had the Dracula guy on it.
M: But the Muppets have the chef that you can't understand. That was great.

R: George Burns.

R: I don't know what that means.
M: That's because you're not the Gatekeeper. That's why you don't know what that means.
R: Who would want to keep a gate?

R: Oh. From Ghostbusters. You guys have too much time on your hands.

R: I grew up on Star Trek.
