Truck Driver

Driver for Daisy Linen on the Upper West Side.

S4E6 - The truck driver stops in the middle of his rounds when he spots Lenny Bruce mid-argument with Midge. Initially, he is excited to see a celebrity, but when Lenny continually ignores him, he turns nasty and drives away.

TRUCK DRIVER: Lenny Bruce… That's Lenny Bruce! Hey, Lenny!
LENNY: Yes, Hello.
TRUCK DRIVER: Lenny, you're the best.
LENNY: Thank you.
MIDGE: I don't understand what's going on here.
LENNY: You don't?
TRUCK DRIVER: You're the king, Lenny. The fucking king.
LENNY: Thank you. As my subject, you're dismissed. Both of you.
TRUCK DRIVER: Lenny.
MIDGE: If you want a cab, you might want to try…
LENNY: Don't tell me how to get a cab.
TRUCK DRIVER: Lenny!
MIDGE: I wasn't telling you how to get a cab. I was telling you where to get a cab.
TRUCK DRIVER: Lenny!
LENNY: I can get a cab. I've been getting cabs since before you were born.
TRUCK DRIVER: Hey, Lenny, I'm talking to you. Look at me.
MIDGE: Is this really how you act when someone does you a favor?
TRUCK DRIVER: I'm over here giving you compliments, and you're ignoring me.
LENNY: I'm sorry, have you two met?
TRUCK DRIVER: Hey. Fuck you, Bruce. You hear me? You're the poor man's Mort Sahl.
LENNY: The-the light's green, sir.
TRUCK DRIVER: Go iron your pants, you cocksucker.
