Maher:…as fellow New Yorkers, when was that?
Never wanted to get to know De Niro.
Maher: Didn’t want to…
Maher: Didn’t want to…
De Niro: Not at all.
Maher: It seems like you crossed.
De Niro: What a moron! (Loud laughter and applause). What a clown he was! He was a New York clown! And, you know, some would go with him, of course, those who work in his field, some of them, but he’s just a classic bully, New Yorkers said. If he entered a schoolyard with his friends, who were bullies, the other students would have to decide whether to stand up to him or to just follow his lead and take ownership of the basketball court, schoolyard, or whatever else he wanted. We must put an end to him!
