Clarke: I've really learned that no matter how much you work out, if you eat certain foods you're not going to lose weight.
Leary: Like what? What foods?
Clarke: Chinese food? Bad. Mexican food? Bad. Fried chicken? Bad.
Leary: Now, he's 54 years old. Half a century on this planet and in the last four years, this has dawned on him?
Clarke: My wife is a fishing captain so we eat all this fish, sushi.
Leary: But when she says sushi, she means a giant tuna comes up out of the ocean, off the boat, and 15 minutes later it's on their back porch with wasabi.
[How does Leary think his friend looks today?]

Clarke: (laughs)
Leary: I can't judge that! But I think he looks way better than he did.
Clarke: Let's put it this way: I can buy clothes off the rack. I used to have to buy special clothes so if they lost my luggage, I'd have to find a tailor in town to make me a suit that day.
Leary: A tailor? A tent maker! We reached the point where we would actually have helicopters drop in his outfits.
[This is how Leary provided weight loss encouragement?]
Clarke: (shouts) Oh!
Leary: All the time.
[So why was Leary so concerned about his friend in the first place?]
Leary: Actually, I was afraid at one point that he would mistake me for a piece of food and eat me.
[Come on! A sensitive moment here?]
Leary: Well it was pretty sensitive because I'd always stay a certain number of feet away from him.
Clarke: I've actually had sandwiches bigger than his whole body.
Leary: No, I was concerned and, more importantly, he's funny. There's not that many funny guys out there so you have to protect them.
