Ghost World (2001)

Charles Schneider: Joey McCobb, the Stand Up Comic

Quotes 

• Rebecca : Oh! It's that comedian I was telling you about.

  [she turns up the volume on her television, which is showing an odd-looking man performing stand-up comedy] 

  Rebecca : See this bit, it's the absolute worst.

  Joey McCobb, the Stand Up Comic : [on the TV]  Just because I still live with my mother people think I'm peculiar. So what if she's been dead for 15 years?

  Rebecca : See? It's barely even a joke.

  Joey McCobb, the Stand Up Comic : Well, it's like I always say, take my life... please!

  [he bows and his audience applauds] 

  TV Announcer : Joey McCobb, the weee-irdest man in showbusiness!

  Enid : If he's so weird, how comes he's wearing Nikes?

  [she switches the TV off] 

  Enid : Joey McCobb is our God.

  Rebecca : I wanna do him.

  Enid : I bet. Actually, he kind of reminds me of that one guy you went out with, Larry. God, what look was he going for, a gay tennis player from the '40s?

  Rebecca : Fuck you.

  Enid : You dated him.
