Summary

Mindy complains about Robin Williams' inaccessibility to her boss, Mr. Sternhagen, when she has to interview the comedian to keep her job. He retorts that Williams not only performed for nothing at the local Comedy Cabaret but also introduced himself to everyone during lunch at DaVinci's Restaurant. Mork later shows up at the restaurant, where he is mistaken for Williams. Mobbed and with his clothes tattered, Mork believes people have discovered he is an alien. Mork disguises himself for protection to accompany Mindy on her desperate final attempt to interview Robin at the auditorium where he is performing. Once there, Mork has a hilarious nose-to-nose encounter with the famous star.

Quotes

• Mindy

  Oh, Mork, I'm so excited! Dewey Fishbeck, our feature writer, is out with the mumps, and Mr. Sternhagen, my boss, wants me to interview... you'll never guess who!

• Mork

  Ahhh, let me try, um... Rula Lenska?

• Mindy

  No.

• Mork

  Menachem Begin.

• Mindy

  No. Give up?

• Mork

  Yeah, I don't know who it is. Who is it, who is it, who who who, Min, who who?

• Mindy

  Robin Williams!

• Mork

  Who?

• Mindy

  Robin Williams.

• Mork

  Oh... ararararar!

• Mindy

  What's so funny about that?

• Mork

  Does he really call himself Robin?

• Mindy

  Well, yeah.

• Mork

  Do you know what 'Robin' means on Ork?

• Mindy

  No. [Mork whispers something in Mindy's ear] Oh, that's disgusting!

• Mork

  Don't look at me, I didn't give him that smutty name! Parents must've had a sense of humor, though, Min.

• Mork

  I have another question right now, a little fashion by-line... why do you wear baggy pants?

• Robin Williams

  I don't want visible pantyline.

• Mork

  There's your headline right there, Mind. "Robin Williams... Kinky!"

• Robin Williams

  Well, you're a member of the Brotherhood of the Bozo. Why do you wear them?

• Mork

  Oh! That's where I keep my bees.
