"It's just an ice bucket with a bottle in it. The two flute glasses are little tray. I got to shut the curtains. I'm in my boxer shorts and shirt. I'm going to take a bath and go to bed. But I want to shut the blinds so it's really dark in the room"
About this Quote
The subtext is intimacy through demystification. DeVito narrates the room the way most people actually experience a room: noticing objects, negotiating light, managing comfort, trying to reclaim control over a space that isn’t theirs. The repeated need to shut curtains and blinds reads like more than a preference for darkness. It’s about boundaries. Celebrity collapses the distance between public and private; the little ritual of making it “really dark” becomes an insistence on being unobserved, unperformed, off-camera.
Then there’s the detail that lands like a small comic confession: “I’m in my boxer shorts and shirt.” It’s funny because it’s mundane and slightly undignified, a refusal of the polished image. But it also signals vulnerability, the human body as the one thing no amount of status can fully stylize away. A bath, bed, darkness: the itinerary of someone stepping out of character and back into a self that’s tired, ordinary, and protective of its quiet.
