Jerry Throws Rupert Out, Explained：take a hint

What's really going on

The scene is a collision of two completely different readings of the same conversation. Jerry speaks in the plainest terms he can — "I want you out of here. I want you out of here now. Is that plain enough?" — and Rupert hears an invitation to keep going, answering with material, compliments, and jokes about arresting his own guests. Every polite exit Jerry offers, a cab at the gate, a promise to talk later, becomes another thing for Rupert to argue with. Rita is the only one who reads the room, telling him the man is telling them to go, and Rupert accuses her of spoiling everything. What makes it painful and funny is that Jerry's status is the whole reason they came, and it's also the wall they can't get through.
