Just a thought...

For those of you who have seen DRS...did Norbert start to laugh when John Lithgow said he's going back "home" to Detroit? I was only wondering because I don't understand why he'd laugh at it after doing it several times a week. Also, why would he only laugh that one time? I imagine Lithgow didn't deliver it any different.

im sure that they just crack each other up. i can see a movie 4 times and for 2 of the times not laugh and then other times laugh. norbie did let out a little giggle when john said that, though.

I don't remember that line, but maybe I'm just not smart, could it have been ad libbed?

I don't think so, I remember hearing about a reference to Detroit in the show from other people.

Its a scripted laugh...he laughs because throughout the show, Lithgow's character implies he is a high class England native, so when he says "Detroit", Norberts character laughs as if to say "Ha, another con"

Really? It looked like he was trying not to laugh. But what you said makes sense.
