I lost it at "I fold like a cheap thing that folds really easily."
Then Conan: "Man, no one writes like you, Sorkin!"
I'm dead.

"I would fold like a cheap thing that folds."

Academy Award winning writer Aaron Sorking everybody.

[asmrkid]

“I fold like a cheap thing that folds really easily” is totally something that Aaron Sorkin would write.

[elremanenteunafeinteligente]

He is a pretty smart funny guy.
He used a very good example of his "bad" argument skills to make his point.
I'd fold like a cheap thing that... you know... that folds really easy

[BatmanHQYT]

"I fold like a cheap thing that folds really easily" is such a Don Keefer line

“I once broke my nose when I was writing”

[frankyramone]

Serious Jibber Jabber with Aaron Sorkin.

[Turbo]

If i could write just a FRACTION like Aaron Sorkin, I'd be so happy

[romilrh]

"No one writes like you Sorkin!" I died

“You can’t handle the truth! Son we live in a world with walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns,
. Who’s gonna do it? You? You Weinberg?”

“If your clients want to stand on my shoulders and call themselves tall they have the right to do so but there’s no requierement that I have to hear people lie.”

“I fold like a cheap thing that folds easily”

One of these is not like the others.

[Clouddancer]

It‘s the way he presses his lips together, right before he says the „cheap thing, that fold easily“!
His facial expressions are gold.

[MaximusPrimusKay]

I like his writing. Hope this movie is good.

[uknowwhoiam]

He took "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” to a whole 'nother level.

[kevinzhang]

I fold like...a cheap thing that folds really easily
XD

[supremepancakes]

occupational hazard of being a writer, specifically Aaron Sorkin: bloody nose

[asmrkid]

2:24 maybe he's talking about the scene from the The Newsroom where Will goes after the guy who accidentally forwarded Mac's email to corporate?

[joshepleminh]

Academy Award-winning writer: "I fold like a cheap thing that folds really easily."

[tigerlily]

I'm really impressed that not once did Conan mention his own TV writing experience. He kept it all about the guest. 👏 At least in this clip! :)

[ABDESSALEM]

Sorkin is a genius. I have always appreciated the writers more than the dirctors. because thy create every thing in their minds (charecters andn events, dialogue, ...everything) and then the directors get more paid and famous..

[rachit]

Gosh, he is such a good writer. I wish to become like him when I grow up. But I'm good at arguments though haha
