00:09 - Just fearless and funny.

00:15 (laughing)

00:16 Can't wait 'til I'm dead.

00:18 - So here's the thing,

00:19 we've been friends for like almost 60 years.

00:22 I've always looked up to you

00:23 and what you could do with comedy.

00:37 - You're the only guy I know

00:40 who would go on national television with a routine

00:43 that you had never tried out.

00:45 - I went in the bathroom,

00:46 I would come up with something and I would go do it.

00:50 - Not only don't you have any money,

00:51 but your sister is dead.

01:16 - He has all that technique.

01:17 He can do anything.

01:18 - And I'm in love with you.

01:27 - Stanley Kubrick called me and said,

01:29 this is the jealousy movie I've always wanted to make.

01:34 Vietnam, this, I'm telling you, they're around.

01:37 I think we're in one of them.

01:38 - Everything he was talking about

01:39 is what television turned into.

01:42 - Film the gynecologist.

01:43 - What you didn't want to happen

01:46 watching an Albert Brooks movie,

01:47 you never wanted the scenes to ever end.

01:54 I'd ever seen.

01:55 - Hi, how'd you die?

01:56 - On stage, like you.

02:01 and then the courage to execute it.

02:03 I would rather have Albert's career than my career.

02:07 - I mean, I'm listening to all this

02:08 and I'm getting a person who's been defending his life.

02:11 - Every goddamn minute.

02:13 - Yeah.

02:14 - My agent said,

02:15 I don't know why you always take the hard road.

02:18 You think I see two roads.

02:21 I see one road.

02:23 Because this,

02:24 this isn't me.

02:26 It's not the real me.
