bathrobe

Tobias is in a hotel room in his bathrobe trying to sign his divorce papers.

So rather than get a writing implement from the hotel desk — surely, they must have one? — he heads out on foot in the aforementioned bathrobe to go buy a pen.

In the book, Zweibel recalls being in Berle’s dressing room, where the legendarily well-endowed comedian was wearing a short bathrobe.

And they’re played by Pugh and Garfield, gifted actors capable of boosting even the silliest moments, such as when Tobias leaves his hotel room in his bathrobe, purposefully walking into the night to procure a pen to sign his divorce papers.

At any moment, the phone or doorbell would ring with someone dropping off a rent check or complaining about a broken air conditioner or standing barefoot in a bathrobe locked out of their apartment.
