I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, THESE ARE NICE SUITS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THIS IS A NICE SUIT, TOO.

>> BUT THAT'S A NICER ONE.

>> James: WELL, YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT TO SAY, THESE ARE THE NIGHTS

WHERE I FEEL VERY, VERY LUCKY TO HAVE THIS JOB BECAUSE IF SOMEONE

TOLD ME THIS WAS A DINNER PARTY I WAS INVITED TO TO JUST SIT AND

BE IN THE COMPANY OF YOU TWO FOR ABOUT A MOMENT, I WOULD BE

THRILLED, AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU ARE BOTH THERE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> James: I REALLY AM.

IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME ON THE SHOW, STEVE, THANK YOU FOR BEING

HERE.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> James: YOU'RE BOTH HERE.

WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT "RESERVOIR DOGS."

WE HAVE TO.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) LOOK AT THESE YOUNG THINGS!

NOW, DO YOU BOTH REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOU MET?

>> I THINK -- WASN'T IT AS HARVEY'S HOUSE, THE HOUSE HE WAS

RENTING?

>> YES.

( LAUGHTER ) CALM DOWN.

>> James: YOU MET AT HARVEY'S HOUSE?

>> HE WAS RENTING A HOUSE IN MALIBU, BUT THE ADDRESS SAID

WHATEVER SUNSET BOULEVARD.

>> James: RIGHT.

I WAS STAYING IN ECHO PARK, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW,

WAS WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN.

I THOUGHT I'M NEAR SUNSET BOULEVARD, I CAN GET THERE IN

TEN MINUTES.

I'M DRIVING, DRIVING, DRIVING.

I'M, LIKE, WHERE IS IT?

I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO A GAS STATION.

THE GENTLEMAN DIDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH THAT WELL AND HE JUST

LOOK AND WENT -- HE JUST KEPT GOING LIKE THIS AND I DROVE FOR,

LIKE, 45 MINUTES IN A PANIC BECAUSE I KNEW I WAS GOING TO BE

LATE.

YOU WERE SO SWEET.

YOU WERE SO SWEET TO ME.

>> I MUST HAVE BEEN UNDER THE INFLUENCE.

>> I'M SURE YOU WERE.

BECAUSE I REMEMBER HARVEY, AT ONE POINT, HARVEY -- THERE WERE

A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT HE DID FOR ME, CARVEY KITEL -- HARVEY

KITEL.

HE HAD A LOT TO DO WITH MY WEDDING.

BUT I REMEMBER SNIGHT THE VAN WITH HIM AND I THINK WE WERE

GOING BACK TO THE HOUSE AND HE STARTED TALKING ABOUT HIS AGE.

HE SAID, I'M LOOKING AT THE BACKDOOR OF MY LIFE, TIM.

HE SAID, I'M LOOKING AT THE END OF MY 50s.

IT WAS THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY THING.

HE WOULD DO THOSE UTTERLY SORT OF DEEP THINGS CONSTANTLY WHILE

WE WERE ALL JUST ( BLEEP ) ABO AND CAUSING TROUBLE, HE WOULD

HAVE -- HE HAD KIND OF A DEEP LINE TO HIM.

I LOVED HIM FOR THAT.

>> James: DID YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WERE SHOOTING "RESERVOIR

DOGS," DID YOU HAVE A FEELING YOU WERE DOING SOMETHING

BRILLIANT ON SET?

>> I FELT LIKE WE WERE DOING SOMETHING AMAZING BUT IT DIDN'T

MEAN IT WOULD TRANSLATE.

I'VE WORKED ON FILMS WHERE I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE GREAT BUT

THEN NOBODY SEES IT.

SO I FELT IT WAS SPECIAL.

I FELT QUENTIN WAS SPECIAL.

I NEVER HAD COME ACROSS SOMEBODY WHO MADE HIS FIRST FILM -- FIRST

OF ALL, HE WAS SO EXCITE AND MADE EVERYBODY FEEL LIKE WE WERE

WORKING ON OUR FIRST FILM, AND HE WAS SO CONFIDENCE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH CONFIDENCE COME OUT OF A FIRST-TIME

DIRECTOR.

IT WAS JUST, WOW, HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.
