February 27, 1998
The scene is two guys in a boat getting ready to pull a hefty waterskier, who's in the water and having trouble getting up on his skis. It's not because he's uncoordinated, though. It's because he's so heavy the boat can't pull him.
As Guy #1 the key line was the last one, "You're going to need a bigger boat." That was given the hip 90s cynical guy spin and it came out pretty funny.
Then we switched and I took the relativly uninteresting Guy #2 who's only line is, "What's he doing?" before he tries desperately to get the boat going. But after we did the scene with me as Guy #2, my partner decided to ad-lib a line and said to me in frustration, "Do you have an oar?" I paused for but a brief moment and then the response came to me. There, not in the car, not in the shower the next day, not just as the camera was shut off, but right there, camera rolling, fresh off the set-up, "Do you have an oar?" I responded, "I have a harpoon." Deadpan look back at our intrepid skier. Nice.
