“Jemaine went to the Viper Room the other night, got to the door and the woman said, ’$10, please.’ Then somebody turns to her [mimes whispering] and she goes, “$5, please.’ That’s my favorite experience.

“We’re not hanging out like we used to.” —Sarah Silverman, when asked if she’s been in touch with Britney Spears since the VMAs [People]
