Good night and good luck

GC and DS are divvying up film roles.

George: So do you want to be Ed or you want to be Fred?

David: I'll take Ed's part. You be Fred.

George: OK, but I warn you, Ed smoked. He smoked a lot. He died at 58.

David: I'll take my chances. Anyway, McCarthy was gone by 48. Whiskey. When he went on the wagon he switched to beer. Who's playing him?

George: Joe's playing himself. Well, early start tomorrow. Good night.

David: And good luck.
