Why are we talking about noodles?

I'll tell you why.

Hostage crisis, noodles, same principle. Both require precision timing, neither should be rushed.

So you'd like me to tell the vice president

Waiting is not doing nothing.

I choose to wait for my noodles,

even though my salivary glands are crying out to me

Good morning. How are you doing? Big fans, by the way, of that's Gary Cole. Gary Colvis. Hi, Gary. Good morning. How are you doing?

Big fans, by the way, of everything you've ever done.

And watch pretty much everything you've ever done, for that matter.

Gary, can you tell us what do you like better, comedy or drama?
