Episode 54 - Thy Boss's Wife

Media Nis. You see that guy with it now he's an actor. Driver and the only camp driver in his place. Good evening and welcome tonight, mister Walters Taxi Podcast an HP your co host and with me as always as my co host, Father Malone, Father m Alone, how are you this evening? Good?

I did it in the conservatory with the lead pipe. Where we'll get into that shortly. We're into Taxi Season three, episode nine, My Boss's Wife. This is written by Ken Eston and directed by the estimable See what I did there, James Burrows. Reminder, we're doing these shows broadcast order and not in order of filming.

We start off here, father Alone, we're in the garage as Louis is on the phone with the garage boss, mister McKenzie. He's assuring the boss he's he's kissing the boss's ass base. What was the original boss? This is McKenzie's a new boss, right, wasn't there another Scottish or Irish name beforehand? To answer your question, Father Malone, this is actually the original boss, mister McKenzie.

Later we will meet a guy named mister Ratledge. Who ah, this is the original mister McKenzie. So, but we will meet mister Ratlidge. Later darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there. That's father McKenzie.

Oh okay, Louis is. Assuring the boss, mister Mackenzie, that he will tell his wife, Missus McKenzie, that he's not here. All the while, like I said, he's kissing mister Mackenzie's ass for this whole thing. He's basically it's like this thing where the wife is looking for mister mackenzie, and and Louis is supposed to be deflecting her from from being able to get through to him. Meanwhile, and I suspect you either loved or hated this following sequence.

Father alone Bobby comes in and eagerly wants he wants to share his latest acting exercise with Elaine and Tony. By the way, Elaine is still wearing her pink Lady's satin jacket from the previous episode. People remember, so. She's part of a gang. I don't know what would what gang would she be a part of.

What would the name of Elaine's gang be? The Goddesses? Obviously the Goddesses. That's good. So anyway, Bobby's exercises are focusing on my work on pantomime.

So he he walks out. How do I react to this? Hber are you wondering how I react to this? Suddenly Bobby is strutting around doing panto around the garage. I loved it.

I loved every minute of it. It's great, isn't it. Yeah, it's fucking fantastic. I could have watched if he was doing it in the back of every scene of this show for the rest of the show, I would be okay with it. He's not bad.

He does the usual, like he walks in. He kind of walks into the wind. His walking in the window I thought was really good. Actually it was. It's better than what he with Man in Glass Cubicle, I thought.

But that's not terrible. No, the Man in Glass Cubicle is bad because you know, it's only bad when he starts feeling the ceiling of it, because he's never consistent where that ceiling is. You're right, Bobby is not quite that well schooled in it. But he's going through these exercises. Like I said, he does man walking in the wind and everybody's delighted with it.

And then finally he goes to Man in Glass Cubicle and at this point Jim shuffles over and he's confused about this glass cubicle that he now apparently can he is in the garage, and this isn't the last time we'll hear about this. But how long has that's been here? Yeah? It's you know, he asks, like, can can Bobby hear him in there? Like he thinks there's a real glass cube that he's he's frolicking in.

So anyway, that takes very little time. The cabbies take their usual spots at the poker table. Missus Mackenzie now makes her entrance, much to Louise's panic. She is played by Eileen Brennan. Oh man, I love Eileen Brennan.

Yep, there's a callback to what you set up top. She's probably best known to some people listening for her Oscar nominated turn I forgot she was nominated for Private Benjamin. Oh, whoa, whoa? Whoa? Are you saying most people know her for Private Benjamin?

Are you assuming everyone is as old as us? People know her as Missus Peacock from Clue? What I was talking about. I was to that, I was getting to that. I was just know you.

Most people would know you're getting to it. Here's the thing like that that is clearly the pinnacle of her professional career. So I stand by that, Father Malone. I mean, she was up for a fucking oscar that doesn't happen very often. Good for her.

Do you remember? The pinnacle of her career was as Mother in the movie FM. I love her in FM. She could pass for a real DJ. She's so good, she's so smooth.

She's maybe the best thing about that whole movie. Her and Martin mull Actually, they're both fantastic in it. And I'm not I am being dead serious. I love that movie. You should check her out.

And she did a movie. Her first movie was called A Divorce American Style from nineteen sixty eight. She's fucking hilarious in that. Check that one out sometimes, I. And certainly Father Malone preferred to remember her best as Missus Peacock in nineteen eighty five's Clue, as well as Tess Skeffington in nineteen seventy six's murder mystery satire and precursor to Clue, Murder by Death, which is as fine of a double feature as I've ever seen.

Father inLove Murder by Death followed by Clue doesn't get me, do you? I'll ask you off air, did you ever see The Cheap Detective? I did not. I have it, but I have never watched it. It's got Peter falk right.

It does, and it also has Eileen Brennan and she sings in it and you should really hear her saying. I will definitely check that out. I will say I did watch Murder by Death recently. I was telling you this off air with my son, and the first thing he picked up on, being a big Clue fan, he said, is that is that missus Peacock from Clue? I said, yes, it is.

And he also, by the way, picked up on Maggie Smith as the Missus McGonagall Professor McGonagall from Harry Potter, which I totally forgot about because she's luminous in Murder by Death. When he saw Eileen Brennan, he didn't say, hey, is that the sergeant from Private Benjamin. Do you remember remember what a sensation Private Benjamin was when we were kids. That movie was everywhere. A woman in the military that would be like Michael Keaton stand at a home and raising children.

What ridiculousness. That was the perfect ideal for me at the time of an adult movie. Like I was old enough to see movies and understand them on their own merits, but that felt at that age like it was an adult movie. Because of Benjamin. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, particularly at the end where like she gives up her career for this fucking French guy and then like he cheats on her and shit, it's like no one is expected.

I was thinking it was going to be stripes with Goldie Hahn being bubbly. It's not that. It's much that. There's like a grittiness to it. Yeah, I can't really describe it any other way.

And this is like a. Troop of Beverly Hills, which is sort of how it's like how it was advertised. It's grim. I think that's the thing. It's a little more grim than any of those movies.

There's nothing. I didn't find it lighthearted as a kid. Maybe I should watch it again. That movie Reeks of the nineteen seventies. Missus McKenzie comes in and she starts grilling Louie on where her husband is, and he eventually folds and lets her go up to Mackenzie's office.

Once she's out of sight, a. Suddenly delighted Louis regales the other cabbys with the story of Missus McKenzie's revenge, which is actually, I really like this part. Go around and hear my tale Missus McKenzie's evil revenge every so often. It's what really is. It's like a cozy little fireside chat that he gives.

Right, it's a tale told her on the fire. According to Louie, every now and then mister and missus McKenzie have a fight, and when it's over, Missus McKenzie picks some unsuspecting care to have over to her place for dinner and sex. The worst part, Louis says, is once it's over, she tells her husband, and the Cabbya in question vanishes, never to be heard from again. Yeah, not just fired, disappears. There's not even any record of them working at the company.

They're they're effectively purged. They're just gone erased from existence. They're very incredulous the rest of the cabbs, and they say, why didn't they just turn her down? Louis says, the cabbys can't turn her down because whether they have sex or not, she's still gonna tell her husband that they did it, so it's a no win situation. For whatever hapless Cabby ends up being picked to do the deed, no one gives him any credence.

They all think he's just telling these tales out of school, but Louis insists it's true, and since she always picks the handsome cabbys, Louis figures it's either going to be Banta or Wheeler that are going to be next. Wheeler is still like I said, He doesn't believe this, but Louis says that the last victim, Curly Melnick, also didn't believe it. Louis says, the last time they saw Curly he was on his way to go see Missus McKenzie and he never saw him again. That point, Alex walks in. He's complaining about how tired he is, he had a double shift, and he's dead on his feet.

He walks up to the second level where the lockers are, and Bobby yells up to him, kind of casually asking him about this Missus mackenzie curse in Curly Melick, and then just the mention of Curly Melnick causes a panicked Alex to hide in his locker because he now hears that missus McKenzie is coming out of the office towards him, so he hides. So, now what. Camp fire tale is true? Reagan knows, Riaga knows. It's like that was that scene in Meatballs where Bill Murray's telling the story about the guy for a hand.

I think they're right. I think who didn't want to have a camp summer like they had in Meatballs? I did. I never went to camp Father Malone, and I always wanted to have that fun experience. As a c I t they yelled up, and I said, hey, Riga, is there any truth of this whole thing about missus McKenzie.

But when I looked at Riger's locker, there hanging from the handle was a hook. I heard that story too, But the guy was missing a foot. On his foot. I'm weak. I'm weak from hunger.

This is the year that Fink beats the stomach. No, no, it's one of these guys over here. For those of you who don't know what we're fucking talking about, the movie Meatballs, and I think we could probably go all day with all of these quotes from that movie. I'd like to point out that Christine de bell Ac sent me or didn't send me, but somebody had a cameo, had her make a cameo for me, and it is one of the greatest moments of my life, having Christine de Belle speak directly to me and wish me a happy birthday. Not sure what she's been doing lately.

Did she quit acting altogether? Father Malone? You know? Yeah, she she got married, had kids, you know, okay, just living her life now. Like I said, Alex has retreated and a panic.

He's hiding from missus McKenzie. She comes out. I have to say before I go any further that Eileen Brennan is easily the best thing about this whole episode, and I think you agree with me on that, Father alone. She this the next part of this scene where she sidles downstairs, taking her time surveying the cabbys as they're sitting there basically shitting their pants waiting for the hammer to drop. It's wordless.

She's so seductive, but scary, but kind of funny. Right, Yeah. My favorite kind of thing in the world, honestly is a woman who is simultaneously sexy and terrifying, and Eileen Brennan is doing both here, and not only that, I just want to say that. When she comes down the stairs, it basically turns into a scene like in a cartoon where where the boss is coming, where like people like put a lampshade over their head and hide in the corner, hide behind the curtains and stuff. It's basically like that.

There's like three people underneath the cab fixing that cab. All of a sudden, everyone has a newspaper and they're hiding and like, you know, scrunched down trying to make them. It's as if the teacher has come in and you realize that they really meant that you did have to do the homework last night. It's true. And the people that are squeezed under that cab, they're not even moving.

They're not even motioning like they're actually working on the cab. They're just laying there still as if if I don't move, she won't see me under here. And the only person, though, the only person out of everybody who actually meets her gaze is Reverend Jim. It's awesome because they they lock eyes. If there could have been a fly buzzing around him, there would have been, if they could have made that happen to make him look less appealing at that moment because.

She looks up at him, right, she looks he meets her gaze perfectly, and his hair's all messed up and he's in you know, full iggy bloom. And she looks at him, and wordlessly she communicates this revulsion like I'll consider it. No, No, there's no way, and she kind of goes away, and it's just so there's no words spoken, but you know exactly what's going through her mind. It's it's a wonder to behold. Well, there's one other person who is not afraid, and that's Elaine.

Elaine just continues to play cards rather sort of defiantly, which made me wish Eileen Brennan had chosen her. I know. That's I was left thinking after this whole scene plays out, I'm like, why why couldn't Elaine have been the one that she picks. She's the most beautiful Cabby available at that moment of all the women that were there. Why not?

It's liberated? Why couldn't she have been? But and what would the husband's reaction have been? Maybe be like uh okay. Finally missus Mackenzie stops to talk to to Louie Louis is so smug.

He even offers to introduce her to one of the handsome young cabbes, but surprisingly, Missus McKenzie chooses Louie to be the one that she asks over to her place. And Louie and why yay? What is her reasoning? It's so great that he says that he's so Louis is so scared first off that he can barely speak. But he does ask missus McKenzie why she picked him, and her reasoning is is.

A person love it? It's so it's so mean. She says. She says, look if my fooling around with a halfway decent guy upsets my husband, fooling around with Louie will kill him. She walks out of the garage as Louis can can barely stand.

He's so the wind is so out of his sails on this. Have we fade the commercial? We fade back. We're at Rieger's apartment at night. He's fast asleep.

Things get a little weird here, Father Malone, I'm gonna ask you a little bit about what they do here. I was perplexed before we get there. Previous episode excellent New b Roll, All the b Roll in this episode sucks. We've seen it one million times. It sucks, and it's all so dark that you can't even make out anything Anyway.

If I see Golden Hour, Sunshine, Cab Company, one more fucking time. Man. But what I found perplexing about this particular scene is, so we're at we're in Alex's apartment. Like I said, he's sleeping. Are you horrifying by his pajama pants?

That part of it? Because it's super weird to me. It's only part of it because it almost for a while the way it's shot, it looks like he's wearing scrubs kind of with a pair of white shorts over them. But it's only because they bunch up in this really weird way. Like I think he's wearing boxers underneath them, and that's what I'm seeing reflected as shorts.

Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, I don't know what he's wearing there. He looks like he's in like season five of Project Runway during a fucking avant garde challenge. I don't know what he's wearing on his lower half. It's some oversized thing.

Maybe just give him a bathrobe if he's going to be like weirdly modest here, you know. But that's that's only one part of this. That is that oh oh, like got in my mind entertaining this phone call. Go ahead, that's the weird thing. So he a phone call wakes him up out of bed.

We already know that he's dead on his feet because of the double shift, so he goes over there. Now I thought this was going to be Louis calling him to try to get him to come to the door, but no, what ensues is about a two or three minute thing where he gets a wrong number, but he can't just hang up on them like a normal person would. He He does this almost like like play acting, because the person's looking for Sheila, and he's like, I don't know, is Sheila? Do I sound like a Shila? And then he starts acting like there's Sheila and he goes like hold on, no, Sheila says she didn't want to talk to you, and then he hangs up.

But I guess my question to you, father Malone, is why do we even need this little scene of him dealing with this this crank call or this this this wrong number. I don't know. I think they're trying to pay off because when Louis walks into his apartment in a few moments, he says, like, it would be rude of me to a call, and I guess we're seeing how rude a call could be before that happens, just to reinforce how how much worse it is that he's actually invaded the guy's house. But I'm still at that point so confounded by riger having any more conversation than simply saying, Sheila, now you got the wrong number, good night and hanging up the phone. It didn't make any sense to me, and it kind of set a tone for this scene a little bit that I didn't like.

So he finally gets rid of this wrong number, he climbs back into bed. Now out of nowhere, Louis has evidently broken into Alex's apartment, which is the weird thing about it is. One of the weird things about it is he Alex has been in bed, eyes tightly shut. Louis comes in and tries to shake him awake. Now, but instead of being what a normal person living in New York with a suddenly strange person in your apartment who's trying to shake you out of a deep sleep, if it were me, I'd be like, what the fuck?

What? What? It would have shaken me to my core. I would not have just casually been like riger like, oh, Louis, what are you doing here? I would have been like what the fuck?

I could have killed. If I had a gun, I would have shot you dead. What the fuck are you doing in my apartment? I have an idea. Okay, perhaps when it came time to get a lock of clean Alex took all of Grandma Gravis's cocaine cookies.

But now he's not doing them all the time. He's doing them sort of sparingly, and right now this is one of his come doowns. So there's not a lot that's going to get him away right now. Do you think so he's still addicted in secret to the cocaine cookies. Addicted I don't know, but I think he's using them and we're seeing the effects of them.

I don't know if he's enthralled to it necessarily, but you're definitely going to have a causant effect. If he had drunk too much, he would also be this groggy. Good point, and maybe that's that's him covering up for it by saying like loudly announcing, Oh, I've had a double shift. I'm so dead on my feet. Maybe he wasn't, Maybe he didn't work that much at all.

Maybe he's before he worked four hours that day and he's going right back to the bar. I guess that makes as much sense as anything. Louis explains that he broke into the apartment, and Alex tries in vain to get back to sleep. While Louis is explaining the Missus Mackenzie situation. The mention of the curse actually delights Alex.

I think he's actually kind of tickled that it's now Louis that the bell is told for, and that finally gives him the motivation to kind of get up and listen to Louise's tail. Louis desperate for a way out of this situation, and then what ensues is Alex is kind of pacing trying to think of of ways out of this, and he'll say I got it, and then he'll go into something like at one point he suggests, why don't you call him sick, but then he says that'll never work because she saw you as the picture of health when she was in the garage. Then he says, I got it go to mister Mackenzie yourself. Know that won't work, because mister Mackenzie will be so offended that you've done this that it will just amount so for every suggestion that Alex makes, he's shooting it down himself, until he finally says, Amada suggestions, you're a dead man.

Louis, I cannot help you. Louis is resolute. He says he's a survivor, He'll figure this out, and he leaves and we fade out. Why do we need the scene at all? Why didn't that just happen at the garage once the you know what I mean?

Like once he chose him like I'll see you tonight and leaves and the ringer, what am I gonna do? You're dead? What can I tell you? It would have been so much more economical, wouldn't it have been? He could, They wouldn't have had to deal with another set for Alex's apartment.

It would have made perfect sense. Once again, Father Malone, it's like you're some kind of writer or something. Huh interesting, Well, if we didn't have that scene, I wouldn't have known that over Alex's Betty's got a sea battle painting. Father Malone, no hyperbole. You're a fantastic writer.

I'm not at all surprised that you would come up with something that's much more sensical and economical. They should have just talked to riger in the garage. They could have got they could have done away with all this business about the wrong number and whatever else. I don't know. I don't get it.

It's just weird bits of business, like it doesn't belong. It is weird. So we cut to the Mackenzie apartment where Missus Mackenzie is swishing around in a black neglige. A. This is I think we've talked about this in the past.

Bottom alone. These are like these negliges. It's only ever something you ultimately see on television, like no one really or maybe it's just something that dates back to burlesque. Rarely do you ever see people who get all dressed up in these negliges? Am I right?

I don't know. I've never been a fan of them. I don't understand it. It's like it's the neglige and then like a cover over it. Yeah, like a shawl that's made of the same deafhanous material.

Yeah, And I mean I can appreciate it. Aesthetically and maybe if it was a performer using it or something with the idea of like this, I don't know, I'm gonna reveal too much about myself. Let's move on. Missus Mackenzie opens the door and Louie comes in, and what ensues this is all gonna be boiled down very quickly. Like this scene is a long scene, but what it ultimately it boils down to is it's a classic cartoon style back and forth where Louis is battling his survival instincts with his animalistic desire for Missus Mackenzie.

It's sort of like, I can't do this. I will Oh, oh but you're You're so beautiful. I can't help myself. No, no, no, we shouldn't do this. Oh but we have to do this.

It's this push and pull that takes forever, and it's funny stuff. I don't want to like under sell what's happening here, but I'm just an interest of brevity or getting down to brass tacks. That's basically what happens in the scene. What we're seeing is what's going on inside John Travolta's mind in the bathroom. In pulp fiction, it's my boss's wife, and I will be murdered if I go through with this, but I really want to go through with it.

It's all very funny, but I don't want to sit here and give a blow by blow when it's. It's you basically said what happens, except the bed is amazing. Well, and I'm getting to that. So finally they're circling each other a few times, and then it culminates in Louis doing a literal swan dive onto her bed. Take me, I'm here, and it is so graceful.

It's so funny to see him do that. And actually another piece from the Lovies book that bed in the in the episode, that bed is massive, and in real life they took what was already a king sized bed father alone and they made it larger, especially for this scene, because you need to have a bed that's going to be big enough for Danny DeVito to swan dive off of a trampoline and make it onto the bed so they can roll around and do some more sort of physical comedy. But ultimately they are dwarfed by the size of this bed. It's huge. It seems like a like a Louis the fourteenth bed.

It takes up all of the space in the room. They seem so tiny in it when they're when they're finally in it together. And by the way, you cannot she can't conceal her delight from that swan dive. If you watch Eileen Brennan through this entire that that whole scene where he comes from swanning in and slamming into that bed. But like she can, it's all she can do to stop herself from giggling.

So eventually Louis, they're on the bed. They're kind of rolling around. Louis has ripped off his shirt and he's about to get it on with missus Mackenzie. When they hear mister Mackenzie now coming home. In a panic, Louis hides under the covers.

McKenzie comes in and goes to the bathroom for some aspirin. But by the way, just the fact that it's described as getting some aspirin, when's the last time, father Malone, you took aspirin for like a headache? Did they even make aspirin anymore? There's advil, there's tile and all, there's ibuprofen, all this stuff. Who takes aspirin anymore.

I have taken aspirin twice today, but. Why not advil or something a little like with you know, a seed of menafin. To be fair, I'm taking Anison. Andison they still manufacture Anderson. Who did you?

Did you take some primatene missed to clear up your lungs while you were doing this? Make some doones pills for your back? All of them? And what what? It's still on the shelves.

Man, I don't know what to tell you. I don't know just unless I'm unless I'm taking some expired minute. Did you visit the apothecary and go through? That's right, because I needed a phosphate. Mister Mackenzie has gone to the bathroom to get some asspird his for a headache, and Missus Mackenzie is frantically looking for where lou has hidden himself.

Louis has hidden under the covers while he's in the bathroom. Then mister Mackenzie comes out, and now all three of them are effectively on the bed. But he's in the bed, Louise. He's in the bed. He's in the bed.

He's not under the bed. He's in the bed, under the covers at the foot of the bed while they I can't say this enough. It's no exaggeration. This bed is huge. They are like ants, little ants within this huge bed.

Do you know what, I wish it was larger. I wish the bed was even bigger. It's conceivable, therefore, that Louis could be at the foot of the bed, and they could be at the top of the bed, at the headboard, and they will never know that the other one is there because there's so much real estate going on in this bed. There's so much mattress to get. Through, and so much adr.

Yeah, there is, because mister Mackenzie, what is he says something like, oh yeah, He describes that, Hey, do you remember the last time you and I kissed and made up? It took us three days. So the implication here is Louis could and actually is, stuck in this bed effectively for three days, which is ridiculous. No one can be stuck in bed like that for three days. No one would sit in bed or lay in bed for three days without at some point getting up to take a shower, to have something to eat, to relieve yourselves, whatever the case may be.

So you should already be crawling out of that room. He could I mean, he could have been very very subtle about it and quiet, or wait until they went to sleep and just gotten the fuck out of there. I don't that part. I didn't get at all. When he says this business about the whole three days Louie, you can see Louie at the foot of the bed.

He grits his teeth in anger. As we fade the commercial, we cut back to the garage. Is now Jeff is manning the cage because there's no Louis. Tony asks where Louis is, and Jeff says he hasn't seen him for three whole days. He makes a point of saying three whole days, which lines up with this ridiculous situation that he's gotten himself in.

Tony asks Bobby if he wants to go to Mario's, but Bobby is again practicing his mime for his class. He starts doing the pulling heavy thing with a rope. When Jim comes back and he starts helping him heave this imaginary heavy thing with the rope, but he quickly realizes that it's all mime, and Bobby and Jim have a laugh about the whole thing. But as Jim is walking out, he actually he hits his head on where the man in the glass case is and he says something to Bobby about what I thought you were going to get rid of this thing? And that's the end of the episode.

Now we're going to talk about yellow lights. What does a yellow light mean? It's a reminder we score each episode on how many yellow lights one to five yellow lights? One is the worst, five is the best. Bottom alone is our custom.

We'll throw it to you. What do you give thy boss's wife? It deserves two yellow lights? It's getting three for Eileen Brennan. And actually short and sweet, I one percent agree with you on this one too.

Just an average episode, mainly a little above average because of Aileen Brennan. There's no cocaine anywhere. I love how you say cocaine because that's the way, like if you've ever watched Oh Hello on Broadway, that's how they always say the word cocaine. Cocaine. Have you ever seen it?

Tell me, oh, of course, yeah, of course. It's brilliant. Yeah. And that's that's prime cocaine years for Malaynia. So that is that's gonna do it for this episode of Night mister Walters, Father Alone.

Think mister Walters
