Mahmud Nasir:
So, uh, Jews? Lenny Goldberg:
Yeah. Mahmud Nasir:
Tell me about them. Lenny Goldberg:
[laughing]
Okay. Uh, let's see: Where shall we start? I know, let's start with me - the archetype. The American Jew. As American as knish and Seinfeld and slavish support for Israel. You know, like my fellow countrymen, I didn't think there were any other Jews in the whole fuckin' world, especially not Britain. Britain, land of hope and pork. A Jew in Britain... [laughing] Lenny Goldberg:
That's just weird. That's like an American driving a Hackney carriage. [With accent] Lenny Goldberg:
"What a Yank with the knowledge? What's the bloody world coming too?" But no. In London alone, you've got your Hampstead liberal intellectual Jew; you've got your Pitter secular accountant Jew; you've got your Hamden Orthodox lawyer Jew; and scum of kosher scum, your Essex Jews, of which my ex-wife, who by the way, in case you were wondering, is why I came to this fucking country in the first place and why I know so much about its Jews. Mahmud Nasir:
Knish? Lenny Goldberg:
A doughy, kosher deep-fried dumpling. Oh, and then you've got your Israeli Jews: you know, Jews without angst, without guilt, so really not Jews at all. And then you've got your Jews for Jesus: What the fuck is that all about?
