How's it going? - How's it going, Lior?
Very good. - I'm excited.
'Cause I know that you're gonna do things
that I'm gonna not understand how they happen.
I still don't know.
But I want specifically to be here because I know you are a big Knicks fan.
I'm a lifelong Knicks fan.
I see you on the court when you're sitting sometimes there.
Yeah, which is sometimes wonderful and sometimes painful. Yeah.
[chuckles] But you're also a Star Trek fan.
I am a Star Trek fan.
How many characters would you say are in Star Trek?
I mean, there are probably a lot. Yeah, yeah.
But if I had to ask you to name one...
STILLER: Mm-hmm.
...what would it be?
Sulu.
Sulu?
Well, I-- Okay, okay. It doesn't--
I had the-- You chose Sulu? - Yeah.
LIOR: That's Spock. - Yeah.
Well, okay. We'll cut this off. - Okay.
Can someone take this, please?
Because we have to do it again... - Okay.
...the act.
[laughs]
Ben, live long and prosper.
No! - [laughs]
Isn't he amazing?
You made him come here?
I just beamed over.
[laughs]
LIOR: We're gonna go over there. - All right.
But before that... - Yeah?
...I wanna ask you a little question. - Okay.
Can you think of someone... - Mm-hmm.
...childhood friend that there's no way I could know?
Can you think of a letter in the middle of the name?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, you just thought of "O."
[chuckles]
Yes. LIOR: You see?
You think of Jon, right? - Yeah.
But you write it with an "O," without the "H."
Right, that's correct. - Yeah.
LIOR: Correct?
All right. Let's go to the basketball court. Let's go.
LIOR: All right.
So, we are here at the Knicks Training Facility Center...
STILLER: Yeah. LIOR: ...which is kind of cool.
Really cool.
We've got some audience, which is you, you, you and you.
And when you play,
one of your most important senses, the eyes, the sight,
you have to watch the basket.
So I brought you this
to understand the feel of not seeing nothing.
So just put it over your head. - Oh, no.
Don't worry. Do you see anything? STILLER: No.
So, take the ball.
I want you to try to feel where I am.
I'm right-- You can hear that I'm-- There we go, you see? You feel it.
STILLER: Yeah. - You feel it.
LIOR: You feel me. You can hear me. STILLER: Yeah.
And just throw the ball towards me when you want.
See? Not bad. Not bad. And now you catch it. You ready?
Okay. Okay.
[Stiller laughs]
I'm gonna do it now. - Okay.
We'll start-- Start by going around me.
Start going around me. - Okay.
LIOR: You can bounce, you can do whatever.
I'll just start to-- Throw me anytime. - Okay.
LIOR: Mm-hmm.
Okay. Here it comes.
[Stiller chuckles]
Were you held hostage for a long time and learned to play basketball?
Is that what happened?
[chuckles]
LIOR: Now, don't bounce the ball. Don't dribble.
Okay. LIOR: Just go anywhere.
[chuckles]
LIOR: Okay.
[Lior exhales]
[laughs]
LIOR: Next phase. Next phase.
[applause]
Let's do it.
LIOR: All right. So we did some blind passing.
Right. - Okay.
It's time to do some shootings.
Let's see. Go. Quickly. STILLER: Okay.
LIOR: Good!
Name a number from one to 1,000. - 428.
Shoot another one. - Okay.
Ready? - So take a shot?
Take a shot. Go. - Okay.
Good. STILLER: Yeah.
Name a number, now! - Seventy-seven.
Okay, okay, okay. Take it.
Ready? Try, go. Good! - Yeah.
Name a number. - Thirteen.
Bar Mitzvah. Interesting. - I was Bar Mitzvahed, yeah.
LIOR: Hey, we do it one last time. - Okay.
Go.
LIOR: Wow.
Name a three-digit number.
175.
Okay, that's good. Come with me, please. Come with me, please.
That's good enough. That's good enough. - All right.
So you remember the numbers?
We have 13. - Yes.
Seventy-seven. - Seventy-seven, right.
428. - 428, yeah.
And 175. - Yes.
This was there the whole time, Ben.
It's a...
It says "13" here. - [chuckles]
It was also 77?
Yeah. LIOR: Seventy-seven.
Here. Seventy-seven, here.
And... - [Stiller chuckles]
...you had 175. STILLER: 175.
LIOR: And you had 428. - 428, yeah.
428.
That's a big one.
428... - [Stiller chuckles]
...which is pretty strange. - How did you--
[chuckles]
That's really the--
Can you come here, Andy, for a second? Come quickly.
You selected those numbers.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or a prediction or influencing.
Can you take the numbers, please?
So 428, 175, 77 and 13?
I have to tell you something.
Yeah? - Something very strange.
Why? - Because when you thought of 77,
do you know that on the way here we passed a sign?
It said "77" on the sign. Do you know that? Do you remember that?
Really? - You chose randomly.
You freely chose 13. - Right.
Maybe it's a coincidence that we've got a guy over there
wearing "13" right in front of you the whole time.
Right?
And you also chose 428?
Um, yeah? - Yeah.
Look at the clock. It was there the whole time.
STILLER: Oh, my God. LIOR: Throughout the process.
Good! You also chose 175. You said 175.
It says here...
[chuckles]
175.
You were holding it in your hand the whole time.
I know. I know it's strange but I want--
You're a great actor and director. - Oh, thank you.
And one of the things I love about movies, that they have a twist at the end.
Sure. - You need to have a twist.
Can we twist the signs, please?
Yes, Ben.
[chuckles]
Yeah, just--
That's you, Ben. STILLER: Oh, wow.
Oh, wow. That is really-- That's amazing.
Just don't tell me you're my son, okay?
Father... - [laughs]
