One of the best scenes in "Louie's" first season takes place during a set at the Comedy Cellar. Louie's interrupted several times by a loud, attractive woman seated at a table next to the stage, and he lays into her—telling her she's a [word that starts with "C" and rhymes with "Punt"], who wouldn't even exist if her mom hadn't "raped a homeless guy." "You're the worst thing that's ever happened in America," he says. "It goes you.... Slavery... And then Pearl Harbor and 9/11 in that order."
Louie's ruthless. And it's clear that we're watching a moment of catharsis for him, a chance to be as mean as humanely possible. But when the heckler confronts the comedian after the set, she starts to weirdly hit on him. Louie dismisses her. This drives another comedian crazy. "You had a shot! Up until that last line!" he says.
I wouldn't be surprised if this moment taken from CK's recent tour—in which a female heckler tells him that his boots are "sexy," giving cause for Louie to ruin her—led to a similar confrontation. Because this dynamic exists, and it's how an out-of-shape, middle-aged guy like Louis can bang admirers after his shows. God bless stand-up.
