[a producer at Taxi wants to fire Tony Clifton, but he needs Andy's permission to do so. He has George call Andy who is supposedly doing a concert in San Francisco. As Tony continues to cause chaos on the set, Andy's voice comes through on the other line] George Shapiro: Hello, Andy. I'm here with Ed over at Taxi. Andy Kaufman: Hi, Ed. Ed. Weinberger - 'Taxi' Producer: Hi, Andy. Andy Kaufman: How are you? Ed. Weinberger - 'Taxi' Producer: I'm fine. George Shapiro: There's been some trouble with Tony. Andy Kaufman: [sounding genuinely shocked] Oh, no! Did he get hurt? George Shapiro: No, Andy, it's nothing like-- No. Andy Kaufman: Did he hurt someone else? Ed. Weinberger - 'Taxi' Producer: No, it's not that. Andy, the reason I'm calling you like this is... I have the utmost respect for your artistry. Andy Kaufman: Well, may I say that I've always appreciated that, Ed. Ed. Weinberger - 'Taxi' Producer: Thank you. But you see, in this instance... I have to ask your permission to fire Tony. [Andy is in fact backstage at Taxi in full Tony Clifton costume and makeup. He covers the speaker of the telephone and jumps up and down with joy] Andy Kaufman: [resumes shocked tone] Oh, my... George, this is gonna kill Tony. He's waited for this his whole life. George Shapiro: There'll be other shots. Ed. Weinberger - 'Taxi' Producer: Yeah, we have to do this. He's just a terrible actor. Andy Kaufman: Okay. But please let him down gently. [Smash cut to...] Tony Clifton: FUCK YOU! I'M NOT GOING! Ed. Weinberger - 'Taxi' Producer: We had a deal. Tony Clifton: I don't know who you talked to. You must have talked to someone else! Ed. Weinberger - 'Taxi' Producer: [angrily] I was talking to Andy Kaufman! Tony Clifton: I DON'T KNOW NO ANDY KAUFMAN!
