Conan O'Brien: I didn't get screwed. I'm fine. I mean, it just didn't work out.
The shot cuts to Steve Kroft.
Steve Kroft: I mean, Jay Leno thinks you got screwed. Jay Leno thinks he got screwed.
The shot cuts to Conan O'Brien.
Conan O'Brien: How did he get screwed again? (laughs)
Subtitles: Did he really say that? What fuckin' balls that guy has.
The shot cuts to Steve Kroft, who also laughs and back to Conan.
Conan O'Brien: Explain that part to me. (laughs again.) I'm sorry.
Subtitle: I can't fuckin' believe he'd say that. That's the funniest thing Leno's ever said. I'm insane with rage.
The shot fades to black and fades back in on Steve Kroft.
Steve Kroft: Has Jay reached out to you?

Conan O'Brien: No.
Subtitle: Are you kidding?

The shot cuts to Steve Kroft.
Steve Kroft: Do you believe he acted honorably, during all of this?
The shot cuts to Conan O'Brien.
Conan O'Brien (hesitates): I don't think I can answer that.
Subtitle: Dude, you're really trying to get me to talk shit aren't you? Fuck I wish I could let loose on Leno right now.
Conan O'Brien: I don't think...
Subtitles: Hold it together Conan.
Conan O'Brien: um...
Subtitles: Don't call him a cock sucking dick fuck.
Conan O'Brien: I can just tell you maybe how I would have handled it and I would do it differently.
Subtitles: Switch the subject and talk about yourself.
The shot cuts to Steve Kroft.
Steve Kroft: You wouldn't have come back on The Tonight Show?
The shot cuts to Conan O'Brien.
Conan O'Brien: If I had surrendered The Tonight Show and handed it over to somebody publicly and wished them well...
Subtitles: I'm not a dick from Dickopotamia. I'm not a back stabber from Backstabastan.
Conan O'Brien: and then-- I don't-- would not have come back six months later. But that's me, you know.
Subtitles: I'm not a shit head. Who's also a cunt.
Conan O'Brien: Everyone's got their own, you know, way of doing things.
Subtitles: Not everyone has the same values. Have you SEEN “Jay Walking”?
The shot cuts to Steve Kroft.
Steve Kroft: What would you have done?
Conan O'Brien: Done something else, go someplace else.
Subtitles: I don't know...not be a dick.
Conan O'Brien: I mean, that's just me.
Steve Kroft (voiceover): He is equally disappointed with NBC, the company where he worked most of his adult life.
Steve Kroft: They said that for the first time in history, The Tonight Show was losing money.
Subtitles: What?
Conan O'Brien: I don't see how that's possible. I honestly don't see how that's possible.
Subtitles: That's bullshit.
Conan O'Brien: It's really not possible.
Subtitles: That's fuckin' bullshit.
Conan O'Brien: It isn't possible.
Subtitles: That's total fucking bullshit.
