before we talk about ben stiller is ben stiller wants to know. >> rose: somebody who who can't get outs own way. i think he's somebody who has an idea of himself that is based on his highest ambitions when he was in his early 20s, his fantasy of what his life could be and now it's 20 years later and he never became that person but he's trapped still in the self-consciousness, the embarrassment, the disappointment of never becoming who he thought he might b. and instead of accepting that, as a lot of people do, of just going with the reality of one's life, he's holding on the some idea of himself and it's... i think older he's gotten it's become a real fight for him. it's an internal fight between the person he really is, who i think is a stranger to him, and the person he's pretending to be. >> rose: is it by definition... or did you by definition want it to be funny? >> yeah. and that's partly why i thought of ben. because i wanted somebody who could play the character totally honestly, authentically as possible but who would have... who would know what was funny in the character at t

but in the movie you play like ben stiller's brother's assistant. >> right.guy, but he's really funny. >> yeah. >> jimmy: but so annoying and doesn't like talking to that many people, but you guys have a connection and it's kind of cool. >> i think they are both really true-to-life characters. and i think that a lot of the humor comes from the fact that this is how people actually behave. and he has trouble -- but he does have trouble interacting with the world, and -- >> jimmy: yeah. here's this one scene where the dog is sick. >> oh, yes. >> jimmy: and you guys go to the vet. here's greta gerwig and ben stiller in "greenberg." >> how long do we wait? >> i don't know. they seem kind of busy. >> should i go in? >> if you want. >> do you want to do it? >> oh, okay. they know we're here. hi. do you know how much longer? >> i think we're just waiting for a doctor to get out of the room. >> okay. >> she said they are waiting for a doctor to get out of the room. >> yeah, i could hear it.
