“I’m no Hollywood scenario writer, but I know what the end of this story should be. Right Robert? Right Gloria?”

0:18 Dean brings up Jerry's name. As he often did. Just Jerry. There was no need to specify the surname. Jerry for Dean was Jerry Lewis. And also for the audience.

3:12 Red Buttons calls Dean by Bubbie's first name (and we all know WHO called Dean that all the time).

3:53 Bubbie again. Finally Red Buttons equals Jerry's boxing sketch in "Sailor Beware". I combined the two lines in this video.

The Dean and Red Buttons skit SCREAMS Jerry from start to finish. And in the end Red Buttons also makes a joke about Jeanne. Right? And Dean looks (or pretends) to be embarrassed? This is 1967/1968/1969… and by 1967 Dean and Jeanne were living apart at home and, publicly, Dean and Jerry were getting along again. In 1966/1967.
