Miss Conduct?

"I've never really understood the importance of the orchestra conductor. I mean between you and me, what the hell is this guy doing? Do you really need somebody waving a stick in your place to play the violin? Does that really help you out? I could see how we need him at the beginning, okay? Tap, tap, tap, 'ready and everyone start.' But once it's all going, what's he doing then? I don't see the cellist looking around and going, 'I'm confused, I don't know what to do. I'm lost.' And the conductor waves the stick at him, 'Do this, like this, like this,' and he's, 'Oh, okay, thank you, thank you very much. Now I've got it.'" -- Jerry Seinfeld
