   Joseph Nebus to All   
   18 October 2007 - John Cusack, (The) Int   
   30 Oct 07 21:33:16   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   John Cusack:   
   	- The audience cheered Cusak, the Dalai Lama, and Conan macing   
   an employee.   
   	   
   	- Cusack is a rare tall celebrity.   
   	   
   	- He just learned a Lipton interview runs about six hours.   
   Conan would love that chance to talk about himself so long, but Cusack   
   can't imagine going on about himself for five minutes.   
   	   
   	- He enjoys Halloween and Mardi Gras in New Orleans.  At   
   Halloween celebrities can wear a mask and go out without being touched   
   by strangers.  Conan goes out in a Conan mask and with a shirt saying,   
   ``I AM CONAN O'BRIEN''.  People throw things at Conan.   
   	   
   	- He just finished a film in Bulgaria with Sir Ben Kingsley and   
   Hillary Duff and Marissa Tomei and his sister Joan and Dan Aykroyd.   
   ``He's Ghandi, she's having a sleepover!''  It's about war profiteering,   
   thus, Hillary Duff.   
   	   
   	- He's a huge Bob Dylan fan and was asked to be on Dylan's radio   
   show.  Cusack sort of got Dylan to let him use Dylan songs for a couple   
   movies, and pointed out if Dylan ever wanted him on the radio show   
   that'd be great.  And the call came, which was so cool.  He's taped   
   already; some interviews and they talk about stuff, and it'll be on ...   
   someday.   
   	   
   	- Conan met Dylan once.  That freaked Conan out.  They were in   
   the same room and someone pushed Conan toward Dylan (Jimmy?).  Dylan   
   looked at him and said, ``Oooh, I know you from the TV.''  Dylan hated   
   that one of Cusack's movies had to end that way but he knew that it had   
   to.   
   	   
   	- Dylan's a boxer, but Cusack couldn't box him.  What if you hit   
   him and, like, he couldn't sing or couldn't do that album?  Conan   
   couldn't either; maybe if Dylan's back was turned.  ``You'd sucker-punch   
   Bob Dylan?''  Conan's desperate to win a fight sometime in his life.   
   	   
   	- The Martian Child: Cusack plays David Gerrold, who adopts an   
   autistic kid who might be from Mars.  His sister plays his sister in the   
   movie.   
      
      
      
   The Interrupter!   
   	- (You're the) absolute worst!  (I've told you) again and again   
   to stop coming around!  (I've even offered you a) one-way bus ticket to   
   the city of your choice!  (But you probably) traded in my ticket for a   
   bottle of Mexican mouth wash?   
   	   
   	- (Wait, what the) krunk is Mexican mouth wash?  (Is that) mouth   
   wash that's made in Mexico?  (Or is it) regular mouth wash that was used   
   by a Mexican?   
   	   
   	- (Ugh, you used) someone else's mouthwash?  (That's)   
   disgusting!   
   	   
   	- (I wish I had a) stun gun right now!  (Cause if I did I'd) zap   
   me in the genitals!  (But you've probably been) zapped there so many   
   times I've built up an immunity?  (I'm sure you even) kind of enjoy it   
   at this point.   
   	   
   	- (I'm guessing you've never had a) real active social live?  (I   
   bet in high school you were) voted most likely to die alone on   
   Thanksgiving?  (Wow, that is) sad on so many levels.   
   	   
   	- (I hope you don't) actually die that way.  (But knowing you   
   you probably) have some elaborate plan for my own suicide.  (Yeah, like)   
   getting drunk and throwing myself out of a blimp?  (How do you) plan on   
   getting into a blimp?  (Don't you sort of have to) know someone who   
   works for the blimp company?  (Or did you plan to) bribe my way on with   
   a slightly scratched Indigo Girls CD?   
   	   
   	- (OK, you're probably, obviously in a) pretty bad emotional   
   place right now.  (You might feel better if you) get some exercise?   
   (And by exercise I don't mean) outrunning security guards at the adult   
   books superstore?   
   	   
   	- (You probably don't have a) place to sleep tonight, do I?   
   (Can you at least) get some blankets from the Salvation Army?  (Or do   
   you) make my own blankets with glue and live squirrels?  (Squirrels?   
   Don't they) ferociously scratch and bite me all night?  (Or is that) the   
   price I'm willing to pay to have contact with others?  Wow, that is   
   (really depressing, isn't it?)  I should probably (reevaluate the course   
   your life has taken.)   I'm just going to (slowly back away while   
   stun-gunning yourself in the genitals?)  Bingo!
