   Josh Hartnett:   
   	- They filmed his Alaska movie in New Zealand.  It's sort of the   
   world capital of extreme sports.  They did some of that on a vacation   
   before filming.  They went to where bungee jumping was created and did   
   their first jump.  Conan has no interest in bungee jumping, as he has no   
   desire to see what it would be like to fall to his death and be saved at   
   the last minute.  ``It's life-affirming, you feel like you can take on   
   the world.''  As long as you have a rubber cord attached to you.   
   	   
   	- They made him walk backward, the women running the bungee, who   
   make you do stupider and stupider things.  ``Just like real life,''   
   Conan says.  The ``reverse elevator'', you stand backward and look up as   
   you fall and realize ``that was the last stable place you might ever   
   feel''.  And you pay to do this.   
   	   
   	- This one time he was in Japan for a weird game show with   
   Robert Rodriguez.  They had no idea what the rules were and the   
   translator couldn't help.  Something goes on behind them and everyone   
   laughs; when he turns around an alarm goes off and someone comes out   
   with a hammer and Afro wig; the Afro Wig of Shame is put on his head.   
   He still doesn't know what he did wrong.   
   	   
   	- The movie has some sense of stuff added in later.  It makes it   
   more like doing a play as you have to imagine settings.  Hartnett blows   
   his own mind; let's bring a wig out here and hit him with a hammer.   
   	   
   	- His beard was made of yak hair.  It's curly.  And they were   
   playing a prank on him.  At least he assumes they were telling him the   
   truth.  Little bits would fall out as he ate, and nobody tells you where   
   on the yak it comes from.   
      
      
   Obnoxious European:   
   	- This Festrunk brother calls building a wall 'typical American   
   thinking' and explains that's why the rest of the world views the US   
   with disdain.  He's from Europe.  This country in Europe.  With your   
   inferior schools you couldn't find it on a map, you jerk.  You're so   
   easily offended; we have thicker skins.   
   	   
   	- You'd have to to to wear shoes like that; do you get those   
   free when you buy a clown nose?  ``They're not shoes, they're blergens,   
   and they'll be popular in your country two years from now.''  And he   
   licks a Siamese lollipop, ``stoefruit'', a combination of honey quintz   
   and marzipan, superior to a lollipop.   
   	   
   	- Why is he here?  Your dollar is so weak against the Euro he's   
   taking advantage.  He's going to eat an expensive meal at a fancy   
   restaurant and tip very little.   
   	   
   	- Shut up, Gushtavo, we may not have stoefruit or blogins, we   
   may not eat a fish paste called zinza or tiny wafers called tuslix or   
   putter around in our one-cylinder farsengutzens and we may not have   
   guilt-free sex with our mistresses that our wives know about but they   
   don't care about because they're getting it regularly from Marco, the   
   19-year-old stud who repairs our tiny refrigerators, but we've got   
   things you Europeans will never have!   
   	   
   	- Like rampant violence and too many handguns!  (The guy next to   
   him punches Gushtavo several times over.  And he doesn't prove that   
   Americans are too violent, as he's Australian.)
