Episode 64 - Latka The Playboy

Weird Way Media. Nike. Mister Walders, you see that guy with it now? He's an actor Phone. I'm a camp driver.

I'm the only camp driver in this place. Good evening and welcome tonight, mister Walter's a Taxi podcast. I'm HP, your co host, and with me as always is my co host, Father Malone. Father Malone? How are you this evening?

HP? You're a dynamite lady. We are talking Taxi Season three, episode twenty Loca the Playboy. This was written by Glenn and Les Charles, The Charles Boys, Pride of Henderson, Nevada. Let's luxuriate in some Charles business.

Directed by James Burrows. Of course, a reminder, we're doing these shows in broadcast order, not in order filming. Hey follow them alone. Guess what? This is the finale of season three of Taxi, hence the finale of season three of Night.

Mister Walters, How does that feel? Exhausting? I am so excited to talk about this episode, but I'm very very pleased that we made it. Some up, some downs, but overall a pretty good season of Taxi. I think the best is yet to come, in my opinion, but we'll get there.

Oh, that's a bold statement. It is some of my favorites are coming up. I know they say that every season, but this. Is that's true. But you know what, we've not really delved into Semke yet, have we.

So no, but she's she's We're just on the cusp where she's going to come back in season four, and I think things are really going to open up for the show in for Laca. Speaking of Laca, this is a Laca centric episode, not going to bury the lead. It's in the title. So here we go. We start on b roll of the Sunshine Cab sign with a of Louis saying I wanted to wait until everyone was at Marios because I didn't want to take any more harassment over this.

We cut inside. Louis is outside of the cage talking with an exterminator. Now here's the last episode on the job. We talked about all these guest stars from Cheers, but no one is bigger from Cheers than the person playing the exterminator. Who's playing the exterminator for the Malone.

Well, I'm pretty sure the exterminator's name is Norm. The one and only George went Rip George. He's soon obviously soon to join what many consider, not my opinion, but many consider to be the greatest sitcom ever made. Cheers. He's, of course, you know, playing norm on Cheers.

He's talking about me. I think Cheers, not just you. A lot of people share that opinion. I don't necessarily, look it's one of the greatest. I don't know that I can can cross that rubicon to say yes, it is the greatest.

Nevertheless, this was George Wentz's defining role, and here he is before that, introducing himself to the Burrows universe as this exterminator. He's a pretty bright he's a pretty bright shears star to be showing up here. But there are even bigger luminaries to come. Louis is having another battle with the cockroach. And is running gag it is.

This has gone all season. I think we've seen little pop ins of the of the cockroach wreaking havoc. Louis is asking the exterminator. He wants details on what the poison does to the insect. And it's another Like I said, it's another round with this cockroach in louis cage.

Louis loves hearing what the poison is going to do to this This cockroach, this nemesis. This is odd because this is a runner in this episode, but it has nothing to do with the main storyline. It's just they kind of introduce this b plot. This is really a classic be play, but we just pop in. We hear Louis and the Exterminator talk, and then we go to Mario's where the Cabby's plus Loca are sitting around enjoying a beer.

Beautiful woman walks in and catches it. This catches Locka's attention. Apparently she's been here before, and Loca has gotten a little crush on her. She's Loka. I thought she was she was pretty.

I didn't there's nothing to write home about. You know. But but this is Locka. I mean he's she she captured his attention for whatever reason. He's he's got a crush on her.

But the problem is he feels like she doesn't even know that he's alive. And the rest of the Cabby's try to encourage him to talk to her, but then Loca bemoans his lack of luck with with women. Finally, Loca, I think, just to get them off his back, he says he'll do it tomorrow. Bobby and Tony don't take no for an answer, and they bodily pick him up and shove him over. This is cruel, by the way, this is not cool.

Of them because they shouldn't have done that. I know he's gonna be a failure here. I mean yeah, because there's just no way that this meek foreign guy like Laca is gonna make an impression on this this beautiful woman. Anyway, it actually is sort of sweet. Once he gets there, he tries to tap her on the shoulder.

Again. There's something very chaplain esque about Kaufman when he does this physical comedy with embodied by Laca, so I thought it was very sweet. He tries meekly to get her attention, and finally Laka shoots his shot, but the lady says she's not interested, and Loca makes the long walk of shame back to the table. The Cabby's try to console Loacha and Bobby. This is we're kind of back to Bobby the scumbag.

For a piece of my mind. Yeah, under this, under the guys that he's he's gonna, like, you know, stick up for Loaca. He goes over to talk to this woman, but in true Bobby fashion, he ends up asking her out and. She needs a cab. As it turns out, she needs a cab.

I'm a cab driver. What am I going to do about it? Guys? You okay with this? Right?

Loca? Bobby is nobody's friend. This is the same guy who cruelly took Tony's two beloved goldfish and mounted them on the largest plaque that he could even find. It's such a grim ec comics esque display. Like, there's nothing more to be said about Bobby.

He's a cruel, thoughtless individual. In his defense, he will perform a play about a paraplegic in front of small children. So we fade into the garage where Laka is studying a Playboy magazine. Alex comes over to ask about it. Laca tells Alex that he's studying it to try and become an American fun guy.

Elaine asks what's the point of all of this, and Lacker replies justifiably. I might add that he's sick of being thought of as just a cute little foreigner, and Alex asks how reading these magazines is going to make him any more sophisticated, and Loacha says that he's going to take a vacation from the garage. He's going to lock himself in and in every spare moment he's gonna study this playboy. Loca also has recorded a tape of an FMDJ off of the radio, and he's gonna learn to talk smooth like him. Loca picks out this passage in the magazine, and the passage is very specific.

It's altered my lifestyle to fit the fast lane. Loca reads it over and over and over again, each time sounding a little more hip, a little deeper, and a little more American. He loses the accent over the course of these four or five repeated line readings, and by the end his accent father alone is gone, and he's sounding smooth and nothing like Loca. It's a wonderful show of control and comedy. It's remarkable.

What did you think of this little bit? Well, it shows the genius of having a funny accent as your primary form of communication, because when you start talking like yourself, it's like a slap in the face. It's like it's like a magic trick. When Andy Kaufman begins speaking like Andy Kaufman. That's that's exactly right what you just said.

It's it's like a magic trick because we are so conditioned from watching this this this show that he's it's laka, he's got the loca voice. So to hear him slip into a kind of a jigglo version of his normal speaking voice, it's it's like a transformation that happens right in front of your eyes, and it's really a privilege to see him do it. It's fantastic. That point, we fade a commercial after this comedic display, and we fade back in to the garage. Now we're going to follow this.

This is the conclusion of the b plot, I believe. Because the exterminator is wrapping up his pesticide application, Louis relieved. He goes in there with his lunch, the sandwich. That's crazy, by the way, this guy just laid down poison. The exterminator just said, like, well, you know, some people the poison will give him a headache, some people make him nauseous.

He's like me, I like the stuff. So I don't know why Louis decided that was the moment to go back into the cage. But he doesn't go rub my sandwich on the pesticide and then. On the without a napkin. Or a plate.

He puts the sandwich on the counter where he gives. That under like, I wouldn't do that if even if they didn't spray for roaches moments ago. I'm not putting my sandwich anywhere down in that fucking cab company. You gotta figure, like all the years of soot and like gas fumes and grime, it's just coating everything. It just looks and you know what, he's he's not.

There twenty four how somebody else is in that cage, right, somebody else's fingers are all over that fucking and like and all the hands coming in and out handing him things. Instead of it's disgusting. But so he he puts the sandwich down. Then the sandwich as he's talking to Jeff and bopping along, the sandwich starts to crawl away and he tries to stop it, and the cockroach won't go away. Actually this isn't quite the conclusion, but this is again, this is not a great b plot, but it's there's a few laughs.

It's doing whatever. So then again, the only reason we're in the garage is to show this little display. Now we cut back to Marios, where Jim Alex Elaine and Bobby are having drinks. The woman, whose name happens to be Karen from earlier, comes in with a friend and takes a nearby table. Bobby is grousing because he makes it clear that she broke up with him.

It's been a bad breakup, and excited Tony runs in. He tells the cabvis that Laca is back from his vacation and on his way in, Tony says, I want to take a spot so I can see all your faces. When he comes in, and he kind of like models his hands. Okay, this is the spot, perfect, and Loca struts in looking nothing like Loca. He's got like a brown tweed suit, a very rakishly loosely tied tie.

He's advertised that those knitted ties that usually had a square or like a flat end instead of the usual sort of triangular thing like that's the tie he's wearing, and that makes me hate him. He's just nothing but swagger. H Me and I went to a prep school in the nineteen eighties, and the kind of person that wears that tie just I detested them. I'm thinking of a few of them right now, and now that I've now that I've set upon this notion about that kind of a tie and that kind of a person. When I go through the rolodex of people that we've interacted with over the years that that had that piece of fabric hanging around their neck, horrible people.

It just confirms your hypothesis that they're awful people. So Laca walks over to the table and he starts in with this loose American banter. It's like, Hey, I love you guys, You're beautiful. It's like, how would you describe? Like Jiggolow doesn't really cover it.

I was kind of struggling to come up with a. Like, it's the nineteen eighties stereotype of a talent agent. Is what he is here, what he's espousing and the terminologies he's using is definitely the Playboy manifesto from the sixties. So he's coming off as kind of smarmy, but you know. He's Kaufman's playing a very specific type of upwardly mobile, image conscious douche.

Basically, it's the kind of guy who would read and enjoy and really get into like Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, like somebody who is always after the next trend in pseudo psychology or something like that. It's it's this kind of guy. He's a he's a really hip guy. But the thing is that usually has a creep factor to it, and I'm not getting the creep factor from from Laca. What I'm getting is all of what what the playboy lifestyle promised, which was the hip guy who's up on everything and also kind of evolved in like, you know, trying to diffuse situations and stuff like, Yeah, it's.

That, That's exactly it. I I just I thought there was a single word or a single term to dub that kind of person, but it's very hard because there's a lot at work with this character. The stereotype. The stereotype is California asshole. That's what it is.

That's as good as any that I could I couldn't think of. That's perfect. Hey, babe, let's do lunch. What's going on? Everybody?

You're looking good. You're looking like dynamite. Yeah, hey everybody? Yeah, Oh slow down there with that aggression there, fella a little less red. Meat exactly that.

That that's him all over in this and and and Kaufman, as you would expect, just takes this part and he just runs with it. He has conditioned himself by doing this intense study of the playboy lifestyle, and he's effectively become the the the perfect exponent of that philosophy. So he goes over to Tommy, who's who's completely shocked by this transformation. He asks Tommy like, hey, what do you what kind of imported bear you got? It's that kind of guy.

And Tommy looks and he goes, I got Schlitz, And Loka says, you're a mug, Tommy, Yeah, you're You're just give me one of those. He's very amused. Now he's bemused by by Tommy. Now this is Laka, who we used to thinking of as this meek, sweet, unassuming guy. And now this school for school.

He's way too cool for school. Laca turns around. He surveys the restaurant and he sees this woman, Karen, that he had a crush on, and he glides over to her table and he feeds her all of these corny lines, but she actually eats it all up. She asks him his name and he replies Vic vic Ferrari. So, by the way, from now until the end, I will just be referring to him as Vic, because he's effectively it is.

He's not Laca at this point, he is Vic. He's become this character called Vic Ferrari. Vic says he's into and this is a quote, He's into Italian cars, techniques, stereos, Australian films and beautiful women, which again tells you all you need to know about this stereotype. Basically, how does he end the last thing? He says, like corny line, but it's heartfelt something like that.

It gets to this woman and she starts to respond to his all this whole display. Vic persists and finally convinces this woman to leave Marios with him before he leaves, because the cabbys are all like, hey, Luka, what's going on, So he tells her to wait a moment. He goes over to the table and they all say to him, Lacka, you can just drop the act, and Vic gets angry. He says he's already dropped his act and they can all stand to do the same. And then he goes over to a lane and he kisses her hand and says, by the way, you're looking dynamite tonight a lane and he leaves with Karen.

Vic leaves with Karen. As we fade back into the garage, now we see Vic is dressed in a yellow jogging suit, which kind of harkens back to the episode where he won the men's wardrobe. You remember that a couple of episodes ago. Absolutely, oh yeah, with this trip that this lime green tracksuit he's wearing. Oh no, it's yellow, right, yes, this one's yellow.

Yeah, yeah, it's vaguely cabby. Yeah. And he's he's got these giant headphones on. He's listening to a turntable and as he's working with the wrenchers and things, he's like air guitaring and really into this music. And Louis comes over and tries several times to get his attention, and when he can't hear him or is oblivious, Louis like takes the arm of the record player and like scratches it on the record, completely ruins the record.

And then Vic flings off the headphones and he says. Ruined the Elvis Costello. Yeah, man, you wasted Elvis Costello, which is another again this we all know characters like this, especially in the eighties. This is a big archetype of like. You know what's smart, Let me just defend Elvis Costello there.

He really should have been listening to Joe Jackson. Probably it's the it's the same sort of nerdy kind of uh like hearkening back to an earlier form of music. Yeah, but but definitely we can agree he's probably listening to something new Wavy or maybe something of that ILK. I think absolutely he's got missing persons on his time tables at home. Probably Louis tells Laca he doesn't like people listening to music in the garage, and he's getting weirder every day, and he tries to he threatens Laka.

He tries to threaten Laca with getting fired, but Vic right to his face, he's doing that thing where he kind of like mocks him by making faces like man man man man, ma'am, which is something that Laka would never ever have done. This is the transformation is really complete, and it's actually kind of amazing that Louie didn't actually fire him. We can only assume that it was just an empty threat that he wasn't actually going to fire him. He gets away with mocking Louie to his face. Vic announces that he's about to take his sparkling water break, and this is a time now now nowadays, father Malone, like, I'm a big I've been drinking Seltzer for years.

I love Seltzer. But this was a time when sparkling water it was like an upper crust rich thing, right, sparkling water, mineral. Water, perier was the catch all phrase for all mineral water at the time, perier because it was so hoity toity, so upper crusty. I remember having it as a kid because it was a new thing and just being like delighted that there was this bubbly water that had no like sort of soda like caramelly kind of flavor. Yeah, but it was not something that you would just get at any old restaurant.

Was a big You had to you had to seek it out. Yeah, So it's a it's a sign of absolute snobbery here that he has stopped and drinking a perrier that he is pouring into a glass with lime. Right. The cabbies all are watching this. They're marveling to themselves that he's not he's not snapping out of this, He's this is been going on for over a week.

Helene says she even tried to talk Locke out of this thing, but he just keeps telling her that she's a dynamite lady. And I keep telling him that's beside the point, you know what. She's right. A call comes in at the old payphone. Bobby answers it, it's Karen.

It's that woman Karen for Vic. Vic tells Bobby just tell her I'm not here. Bobby's like, wait, this is the girl of your dreams. What's you know? You don't want to talk to her?

And Vic doesn't care. He says something like, hey, I'm not here. Yeah, you got that? You got that? Yeah.

Bobby asks Vic, this is the girl of your dreams? What's going on? And Vic gives this psychoanalysis of Karen that he says, Yeah, she craves rejection, goes around finding it wherever she can. This character is perfect. I will say that they are playing on a particular stereotype of a character that was prevalent.

But because it's Andy Kapf, I kind of want to hang out with him. He does it with charm and with panache, and it's never not funny. It's always funny when he does it. You know, it is pop psychoanalysis. But he's probably right about that girl.

I bet she, I bet she does, like go looking for rejection. So Elaine goes over to again to Vic, but he starts in with this whole dynamite lady thing and this actually gets her upset and she tells him to shut up and that ends. Yeah, am I right? He makes this aside to Bobby, like this completely demeaning thing about oh redheads. Am I right?

Elaine tells Vic to sit down. They all tried talking to him. Vic's whole point is that he's he's assimilating, that's what he's doing. Furthermore, he says he doesn't want to be mister popularity if that means striking out with ladies every single night and returning to the what he was before. There's a big Flowers for Algernont's situation going on here.

I don't want to go back, Please don't. That's exactly that's a good call. Flowers for algab That's that's great. That was a very scary book. By the way, the way.

He's flying very terrifying. For those who maybe haven't weren't forced to read Flowers for Algernon in high school. It's a diary of a mentally disabled man who has been this way all of his life, and he has an experimental procedure done to him that will give him intelligence. It will make him intelligence, so he'll no longer be mentally disabled. It works, and he becomes a brilliant individual.

He meets and falls in love with a woman. But over time there are complications to this procedure, and. He starts reducing in memory and cognitive abilities, and worse than that, he knows it's happening. And but but the way that it's written in this first person's style. Oh, just stop, I'm gonna cry.

Actually it's awful anyway, That's that's what we've got here. He's full of becoming what he was before. He doesn't want that, but he says, well, but it's a good thing. I have this friend of mine, Alex over here, and this is I love this line that he says. He says Alex has a heart as big as his schnaz and a brain as sharp as his profile, which is so demeaning.

He's trying to express that Alex is his only friend, but he's saying it by like insulting him to his face. That's a backhanded compliment. The definition of it is a. Very backhanded compliment. But then we kind of get Alex the psychologist again because Alex gets up and he says, look, maybe, Laca, maybe you were justified in thinking that there was a patronizing element to the way we treated you.

And he's right, they probably were. Even in the beginning of the episode when they all noticed that he has his crush, they're all treating him like he's a child. Oh, you have a little crush, Laka. So but and when he points out, like you're always treating me like I'm cute, they treat him like he's cute and drives some crazy so and that's as Loaca. So that's probably kicking around in his brain too.

Yeah, so Alex is dead on. He's like, you know, I think maybe we were patronizing you. But Alex says, the thing that I keep coming back to is I liked Laka and I don't like you. And then he walks out and Vic says something like, oh it's hard to get happy after that. Huh, Like he makes this silly joke, but you can tell that it's wounded him in some way.

And in fact, what's interesting is what we're going to get into here, father alone, is do you remember when Loco had the cookies Loacha's cookies. Can I forget? And the person who essentially saved him from himself in that episode was out that was a hallucination that he had from the coca. But that's effectively what happens here too. So we fade into Alex's apartment in the evening.

There's a knock it door and it's Vic Alex. He starts to say something to Alex and Alex just slams the door in his face. He knocks again, and he basically begs Alex to let him in, and Alex says what's going on? And Vic says that he cries at night. He's so troubled that he wants to get out of this Vic persona, but he can't do it, and he begs Alex to help him.

He's stuck inside of this guy and he doesn't know what to do. I don't understand what's so wrong with Vic. I think Vic's kind of a cool guy. I think everyone's being a bit selfish and trying to make him revert back to his old adorable self because they just want to want someone to look at and go you're cute again. You're probably right, but I think there's something in Alex's hostile response to him in the garage that said, maybe this isn't me.

Maybe I don't want to be this person anymore. Maybe I'm realizing the superficiality of all of this and it's not what I want for myself. Is that because somebody with a heart as big as the schna has said it to him for. Whatever reason, he wants to get out of this Vic loop, but he can't do it. He needs Alex's help.

So Alex agrees to help and sits with him on the couch and he says to him, like, look, remember how Locke used to talk, you know, talk about you talk like Locke used talk, And he says, I don't remember how Locke talked, and Alex tries to coax the old Locka out of him. Alex has him try to say the old line EBI DA, but Vic says he's gone too far, but Alex refuses to believe that it's too late and tells him don't try so hard, just just trust that lokas in there and he'll come out. And at this point, Father Malone Kaufman throws his head back so you don't see his face it's all the way back, resting against the couch, and when he comes back up, when he rises back up, it's Loka again. He's his eyes like there's something with the way his eyes are now like Loaca's.

His hair all of a sudden looks like Loaca's. It's a brilliant transformation because with with a little bit of work on his hair and his face, it's like Loka is back. And again that's the brilliance of Kaufman and his physical comedic abilities that he can pull this off like it's like it's magic. Like you said, I do feel like we were robbed of an Altered States like sequence where Loaca is throwing himself down a hallway and bashing himself and he he turns from Loca into Vic and back, so overall's Loca and back into like super slick Vic. They're both excited that Loca's back.

Loaca then proceeds to describe everything that happened to Alex in his in his native tongue. This scene, this part of the scene, I was reminded of the scene in Return to the Jedi Father Alone where C three Po is telling the story of the Star Wars up to that point to the Ewoks, and he he's he's speaking in the Ewok language, but you can tell just from pantomime and through vocal inflection what he's talking about. Well, that's what we have here. Effectively, Loka tells the story of the episode up to that point. He does a little thing about the woman who rejected him, and and even Alex, I don't like you.

It's really funny, I love I was so charmed by this sequence. Vader Alex grabs a couple of beers, and Loka finally finishes the story and Alex this, this is maybe my favorite part of the whole episode. Alex tells him it's it's good to have you back, Laca, and Loca all of a sudden has the vic voice again. He goes, hey, all right, and I think he even does like a like a finger point gun and Alex is like what, and Loco goes, oh, no, no, no, I'm only fooling, And then he takes a sip of the beer. But then he gives this sidelong glance that freeze frames back to Alex, basically implying that he's only pretending to be Loaka.

I think I have you fooled Chef's kiss. What a wonderful button on the episode, because now you're doubting that he's actually become Laca again. Is he only fooling Alex by pretending to be Laca from now on? Wow, this is like the culmination of all the horrors that, like all the darkness we've been seeing in Laca. It's now persona fied.

In fact, it's now pretending to be Laca. That's horrifying. Is it him? Is it someone else pretending to be Laca? We don't know, and we won't ever really we can only assume that it's Laka, but maybe not.

Sort of casts doubt on the rest of the rest of the series. For me, I'm a little worried for Simca. It's a little creepy. So that's the episode. Now we're going to talk about yellow lights.

What doesn't yellow light? Me? A reminder, we grade every episode on a scale from one to five yellow lights. One is the worst Taxi episode and five is the best. And as is our custom, we're going to throw it to you first father alone, what do you give Laka the Playboy?

I'm gonna finish out this season strong with another four yellow lights for this one. I think I liked the performance of Andy Kaufman. Obviously, any Kaufman centric episode is going to be good, and I think he pulls it out here. I like Vic. I want more Vic.

I wish, in fact, in every episode from now on, we got a moment of Vic, like when he's away from the other cab cabbies and like talking to himself like yeah, okay, sure, whatever you say, Alex, you know a little bit, little things like that, that would be nice. So you're saying we want confirmation that he was only pretending to be Laca, that Vic is still there. No, I'm assuming he is from now on VIC pretending to be Laka, and I would like occasional confirmation of that. It's creepy. I'm also going to finish this season strong, but I'm going to go ahead and give this episode five yellow lights.

Father alone, I. A perfect episode. A perfect episode is what. You're ye yes, yes, yes, because we look, we've had other Laca centered episodes before, but this one feels like a real breakthrough for both the character and for Andy Kaufman, and the gambit was clearly effective because we'll see the show return to this multiple personality storyline several more times through the rest of the series. Some of the best episodes that have yet to come take place with that same premise.

Look, I know we've said in the past the perfect episode has to involve all of the Cabbys, but he is. His performance and his presence Andy Kaufman in this episode is so strong. I have no choice but to give this a perfect score. This is rewatchable. This is so funny, great laughs, wonderful performance by Andy Kaufman.

No question in my mind, this is a five yellow light episode. I won't push back that hard on you on that. You know. The red headline alone is that interaction with the Lane is good enough, and I mean really, the only one he doesn't interact with is Tony. That's true.

That's true. Hey, Bobby has a little thing with with Karen, this woman and all that. But the only other thing that is a little odd is that whole b plot with the cockroach. They should have had Tony over there doing that with with you know what I mean, like Tank, some of the characters who were not going to feature at all, and stick them over in that B plot. I think that would have smoothed things over a little bit more.

That's actually not a bad idea. He could have been involved in the you know, the fighting. You know what I mean, like he's afraid of the roach as well. It would have been funny. Yeah, he doesn't really have much to do.

But but despite that, Kaufman is so strong in his performance that it outshines every all the negatives for me, So five yellow lights from myself for from fod Malone. That's going to do it. Hey, this is It's been a wonderful another wonderful season of night mister Walters. Let me say thank you to you for another wonder full season. I look forward to another couple of great seasons of taxi fun with you.
