The Number - from taxi.

whenever I consult with a group of people when we try and figure out what to charge I can't help but think of this bit.

Louie's commitment to being a vile and despicable person somehow is hilarious!

[@janenef]

I have looked for this clip for years. Thanks for providing it here. It is one of my favorite comedic bits of all times. De Vito is genius. I play this game in my head when setting prices on my art work in galleries. Lol

[@Shorty_Lickens]

I love how after 40 years Danny DeVito is still basically the same. Only he doesnt wear a tie.

[@Romulux229]

The way he swoops his hand and goes "Four-TeEn" cracks me up

[@battlestarmarc]

One of the best comedy tv shows. Louie was so funny.

[@grawakendream8980]

classic scene, from a long long list of classic scenes from taxi. love this

[@DUCKSAREEVILLLLLLLL]

Every episode was an excellently written, acted, and produced televised play. They rarely even left that set. TV viewers were so spoiled back then.

[@mindriot91_96]

What an incredible show!

[@precisionbrown6829]

That show was priceless 😆

[@drewski1535]

No one but Devito could bring Louie DePalma to life 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrAitraining]

"Dad, i love you" [click] "hello?" 😅

The figure Louie eventually settles on would be about $80K in 2020 money.

[@simonjack9699]

Ikr

[@mvol5973]

Still not sure that would be enough to rebuild the apartment (drywall, insulation, wiring, floors, appliances, kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, furniture) and also all personal items

[@cmvogt5951]

Danny DeVito did Excellent in Taxi.

[@r_aguilar68]

Louie is a POS for throwing in an extra $2 at the last second🤣🤣🤣

[@jonathanleslie9100]

every meeting to discuss costing I have ever been to does the same thing.

[@grawakendream8980]

yea up til that he was noble and honorable

[@simonjack9699]

2010 back when things were so simple

[@GLPvillainess]

2010? Taxi was on in the 70s and 80s

[@jleslie48]

@carlos: the bad guys are always the most interesting.

[@matth3002]

bad guys can be themselves. good guys never know what they can be so they end up being not much of anything.

[@navidpey194]

5 million dollars, 5 MILLION DOLLARS! (Twins)

[@simonjack9699]

Huh in the episode from this particular clip Jim said his father thought it would be two hundred thousand not $5000000 and also Lewis said $500,000 $500,000 twins. I don't know why people are trying into convert money that was mentioned on the show from the 80s into what is now in 2020 who cares just enjoy the comedy

[@navidpey194]

@@simonjack9699 I just love that scene from the movie twins

[@poisonbonbons8684]

...oh, you mean the FOUR million dollars...

[@f0urstr1ng]

Buckeroos!

[@tucore10]

Which episode?

[@jonathanleslie9100]

its the episode where jim burns down louie's apartment. That is all I know. Quite frankly its much more valuable as an instruction tool for price negotiation.

[@zbudda]

Melissa Morgan sent me here...

[@jonathanleslie9100]

Ok, you'll bc have to connect the dots for me

[@zbudda]

@jonathan leslie ~ Outdoors with the Morgan’s channel, Melissa made a comment about the money number, like Louie Depalma style...when her husband talks about buying the next expensive model up of a portable sawmill.

[@Boricua853]

I would have said, $500,000 💰😆💵👀

[@jonathanleslie9100]

remember, its the 1970's.. $30k is probably 3 years of louies salary.

[@RetSquid]

What was it supposed to be for?

[@r_aguilar68]

Because Jim burned down Louie's apartment and destroyed everything.

[@onestepaway3232]

Lol, my favorite sitcom. There will never be another taxi

[@precisionbrown6829]

That show was priceless 😆

[@jleslie48]

jim while rooming with louie burnt down louie's apartment, jim's father, who is very wealthy gave a blank check to cover the damages.

[@NuisanceMan]

One of the all-time great episodes!
