Katz is disturbed to learn that the city alderman he voted for is corrupt. He talks about what HE would do if he were alderman: "I'd like to bring crime back into the streets and out of the home," and get rid of the "criminal element" (Ben: "Criminal element? What, are you Batman?"). Ben immediately begins being his dad's campaign manager, despite Katz's insistence that he is NOT running. (Ben's platform: handicap parking for everyone.) He makes signs and harasses Laura, inviting her over to help with the "campaign" (he tells her he used air quotes on the word "campaign"). Katz is concerned about the press finding out damaging things about his past; for example, the Communist Party: "It didn't really seem like a party at the time." He has a silly conversation about politics with Stan and Julie. Goes home and tells Ben, "I made reservations for us in the real world" -- the world where no one is running for anything, and Ben should just knock it off. (He already spent the campaign money at the arcade, anyway.)

• Louis C.K. : Laura doesn't want to hear the story about his name; people in New York are mean, including an ice cream store clerk who gives him a hard time for not knowing what "Chips Ahoy" is; likes to go up to strangers and start conversations in the middle ("Yeah, well, how do you think I felt?"); you can buy odd combinations of things at Kmart: mayonnaise, a stopwatch and a Bible, for example; had a gay dream where he was in an Italian cafe with a friend when two teen-age Italian boys rode up on their bikes and invited them swimming. He asked his friend, "Is this gay?" and his friend said no. "Then, I was making out with one of them, and I thought, 'Of course this is gay!'"
• Sarah Silverman: Her sister (that would be our friend Laura) is really deep -- when they were kids, she said something really deep, and all Sarah could say was "Grandma's fat"; went someplace where the ladies' room was out of order, so she had to use the men's room; was sitting in the urinal ("I flush, now my back is wet"); talks during sex ("Ow, ow, ow, ow, easy, Buddy!"); sister got married and hyphenated her name to Silverman-Abramowitz -- "or 'Jews' for short."
