I run out in the street, hail a cab, and I say to the cabbie: Take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge. And the cabbie turns around and he says: Don't do it, buddy! You're a young man. You got your whole life ahead of you!

Quote context

[...]

- I was just a kid, 26 years old.

- Anyway... anyway, they were building the lower level of the George Washington Bridge.

- We were doing a remote from there... and nobody told me!

- Then after 7 in the morning I get a call: Where the hell are you? You're supposed to be at the George Washington Bridge.

- I jump outta bed, throw my raincoat over my pajamas. I run downstairs.

- I run out in the street, hail a cab, and I say to the cabbie: Take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge. And the cabbie turns around and he says: Don't do it, buddy! You're a young man. You got your whole life ahead of you!

- Didn't I ever tell you that one before?

- I'm gonna kill myself.

- Oh, shit, Howard.

- I'm gonna blow my brains out right on the air, right in the middle of the seven o'clock news. You'll get a hell of a rating, I'll guarantee you that. 50 share, easy.

- You think so?
