Bill Maher: When I said you were the most interesting man in the world, I wasn’t kidding. Amelia Earhart once took you to a football game?
Gore Vidal: I took her, but anyway, yeah.
Bill Maher: Why… she couldn’t find her way back?
*Audience*: Ohhhhhhh
Bill Maher: Oh, look, how about that? I love that. It’s too soon for an Amelia Earhart joke.

Bill Maher: You’re a 10 year old kid [in a video clip], and you’re brash and belligerent. You’re like a young Norman Mailer.
Gore Vidal: Oh—who was that?

Bill Maher: Why does one society, like Rome, make no demarcation between homosexuality and heterosexuality, and our civilization is so different?
Gore Vidal: I don’t think they knew any difference.
Bill Maher: But I know a difference. I mean, it doesn’t strike me, ever, to have sex with a man. If I lived in Rome, would it?
Gore Vidal: Well, what part of town?
