I loved this riff so much. I'll have to rewatch it tomorrow.

Leslie in it is just... he just *sells* so much being The Jerkass, its a thing to behold. 😌

Plus the guy who just refuses to stop going “everything’s gonna be fine” as the world tries to kill him.

It was just before he became a comedy icon with 'Airplane'. The little girl who takes her coffee black was also in 'Day of the Animals', but didn't (as far as I remember) share a scene with Leslie.
