00:00:56,435 --> 00:00:59,059
When you take away the mask,

6
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:01,854
what is there
to boldly go into?

7
00:01:03,373 --> 00:01:05,237
Boldly go into your life.

8
00:01:05,237 --> 00:01:08,068
Live your life fully, passionately.

9
00:01:10,277 --> 00:01:12,382
We all have our loves,

10
00:01:12,382 --> 00:01:15,868
and what a miracle
that is on this planet.

11
00:01:17,905 --> 00:01:20,735
I'm afraid of being alone.

12
00:01:20,735 --> 00:01:22,220
Everything loves.

13
00:01:22,220 --> 00:01:24,670
Every living thing loves.

14
00:01:26,086 --> 00:01:27,190
What's your legacy?

15
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:30,504
What are you leaving behind,
good deeds?

16
00:01:30,504 --> 00:01:31,884
Also, a tree.

[soft music]

18
00:02:05,021 --> 00:02:08,404
I've always had dogs
in my adult life.

19
00:02:08,404 --> 00:02:12,891
In my childhood, my parents
wouldn't let me have a dog.

20
00:02:12,891 --> 00:02:15,790
And so I yearned
to have a dog.

21
00:02:15,790 --> 00:02:19,415
I did have one dog when
I was nine, ten years old.

22
00:02:19,415 --> 00:02:23,212
Parents didn't like it
very much because my father,

23
00:02:23,212 --> 00:02:27,250
who was an earnest man
who worked very hard

24
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:30,426
and thought, why am
I spending money on a dog

25
00:02:30,426 --> 00:02:32,428
when I could be saving it?

26
00:02:32,428 --> 00:02:35,293
I used to come home from
school and climb the fence

27
00:02:35,293 --> 00:02:37,985
to our little backyard
where the dog would be

28
00:02:37,985 --> 00:02:39,642
and interact with the dog.

29
00:02:39,642 --> 00:02:42,265
One day, I climbed the fence,
there was no dog.

30
00:02:42,265 --> 00:02:44,957
My mother was in the house.
"Where's the dog?"

31
00:02:44,957 --> 00:02:50,860
And she said reluctantly,
he's outside, Bill-Billy.

32
00:02:50,860 --> 00:02:53,932
And I knew something
was wrong, and I ran outside.

33
00:02:53,932 --> 00:02:56,452
And there was my beloved dog,

34
00:02:56,452 --> 00:02:57,901
dead on the street.

35
00:02:57,901 --> 00:03:00,525
It'd been hit by a car.

36
00:03:00,525 --> 00:03:06,324
And I remember gathering
the little-ish dog in my arms.

37
00:03:06,324 --> 00:03:08,291
We had stairs to the-

38
00:03:08,291 --> 00:03:11,432
This was a quadraplex.

39
00:03:11,432 --> 00:03:14,849
And underneath those stairs
was a space.

40
00:03:14,849 --> 00:03:18,888
There was sunlight,
and the latticework

41
00:03:18,888 --> 00:03:21,994
cast a latticework of light

42
00:03:21,994 --> 00:03:23,479
over the dog.

43
00:03:24,411 --> 00:03:26,792
And I was holding the dog,

44
00:03:26,792 --> 00:03:29,381
crooning in pain.

45
00:03:29,381 --> 00:03:33,592
And I lost my dog.

46
00:03:33,592 --> 00:03:38,563
The dog that meant so much
to me as a kid was dead.

47
00:03:38,563 --> 00:03:41,566
I didn't quite understand
what dead was, I think,

48
00:03:41,566 --> 00:03:44,154
but I remember
being bewildered.

49
00:03:44,154 --> 00:03:45,846
And, finally,
I buried the dog.

50
00:03:45,846 --> 00:03:49,056
I think I must have buried it
under those stairs.

51
00:03:49,056 --> 00:03:51,645
And never had a dog since

52
00:03:51,645 --> 00:03:56,063
until I was married-
about 25, 26.

53
00:03:56,374 --> 00:03:59,722
And the first thing
I did was get a dog.

54
00:03:59,722 --> 00:04:01,896
They speak to you.
Dogs speak to you.

55
00:04:01,896 --> 00:04:04,520
Horses speak to you, too.

56
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,039
Trees communicate.

57
00:04:08,420 --> 00:04:10,974
There's this fungi network

58
00:04:10,974 --> 00:04:14,115
which the trees are using
like brain stems.

59
00:04:14,115 --> 00:04:16,359
There's a pattern
in the ground

60
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:17,705
for a latticework.

61
00:04:17,705 --> 00:04:21,744
I'd like to think there's
a latticework in the universe.

62
00:04:21,744 --> 00:04:23,711
Everything else
has a structure.

63
00:04:23,711 --> 00:04:26,611
Why wouldn't there be
a structure there?

64
00:04:26,611 --> 00:04:30,408
All these things that took
5 billion years to grow,

65
00:04:30,408 --> 00:04:31,857
to become-

66
00:04:33,859 --> 00:04:36,862
I'm working myself up into
an emotional storm here.

67
00:04:38,450 --> 00:04:39,865
It took 5 billion years

68
00:04:39,865 --> 00:04:43,213
to evolve what we see now
in nature.

69
00:04:43,213 --> 00:04:44,870
The preciousness
of everything-

70
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:47,873
the snails, the worms,
the gnats-

71
00:04:47,873 --> 00:04:52,395
took 5 billion years
of exquisite...

72
00:04:53,085 --> 00:04:54,466
agony.

73
00:04:54,466 --> 00:04:59,264
And the reason I feel so sad
about it

74
00:04:59,264 --> 00:05:01,093
is because...

75
00:05:04,442 --> 00:05:07,652
Extinction is happening
so rapidly now...

76
00:05:09,688 --> 00:05:13,658
By mankind's own hands,
by pollution.

77
00:05:13,658 --> 00:05:16,385
All that is disappearing.

78
00:05:16,385 --> 00:05:17,903
And I'm overwhelmed with it

79
00:05:17,903 --> 00:05:20,389
because we're living
in a miracle.

80
00:05:20,389 --> 00:05:22,805
The little brain that got us
out of the tree

81
00:05:22,805 --> 00:05:26,049
and invented things,
made tools

82
00:05:26,049 --> 00:05:28,638
also has allowed us
to look up into the sky

83
00:05:28,638 --> 00:05:31,020
and look down on the ground,

84
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:33,471
and realize the miracle

85
00:05:33,471 --> 00:05:36,128
of what we're living in-

86
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:39,477
the miracle of the universe,
the miracle of the ground,

87
00:05:39,477 --> 00:05:41,133
the miracle...

88
00:05:56,286 --> 00:05:57,667
No, no-
No, no, no, no, no!

89
00:05:57,667 --> 00:05:59,289
I'm not beaming in.

90
00:05:59,289 --> 00:06:00,981
You said I could make
an entrance

91
00:06:00,981 --> 00:06:03,501
with a rocket
strapped to my ass.

92
00:06:03,501 --> 00:06:07,712
[cheers and applause]

93
00:06:07,712 --> 00:06:11,716
By the time people see
what we're filming...

94
00:06:11,716 --> 00:06:15,029
I will have received
a lifetime-achievement award,

95
00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:16,479
a rather prestigious one.

96
00:06:17,307 --> 00:06:19,171
And we are forever

97
00:06:19,171 --> 00:06:21,001
in your debt.

98
00:06:21,001 --> 00:06:23,383
[cheers and applause]

99
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:25,488
What do you achieve
in a life

100
00:06:25,488 --> 00:06:27,179
that's worth an award?

101
00:06:28,008 --> 00:06:30,044
Save yourself...

102
00:06:30,044 --> 00:06:31,874
some money.

103
00:06:31,874 --> 00:06:35,153
Whether you're celebrated
for your death

104
00:06:35,153 --> 00:06:37,569
and your statue's knocked
down 50 years later...

105
00:06:37,569 --> 00:06:39,088
It's what
he would have wanted.

106
00:06:39,088 --> 00:06:40,883
Or you died in battle

107
00:06:40,883 --> 00:06:43,403
and were buried
in an unmarked grave.

108
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:46,095
[yelling]

109
00:06:46,095 --> 00:06:47,165
It really doesn't matter

110
00:06:47,165 --> 00:06:49,029
'cause it's all over so soon.

111
00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:50,858
So...

112
00:06:50,858 --> 00:06:52,550
the occasion of your death

113
00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:54,448
is meaningless.

114
00:06:54,724 --> 00:06:57,865
You're one
of billions upon billions

115
00:06:57,865 --> 00:07:00,074
who lived and died on Earth.

116
00:07:02,594 --> 00:07:04,389
I thought
about that quite a bit.

117
00:07:05,114 --> 00:07:07,427
And the only answer
I came up with...

118
00:07:08,289 --> 00:07:09,601
is this.

119
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,259
In my life-

120
00:07:12,259 --> 00:07:14,468
So I was born in Montreal.

121
00:07:14,468 --> 00:07:16,712
And when I was
six years of age,

122
00:07:16,712 --> 00:07:20,025
I was at a camp
in the Laurentian Mountains-

123
00:07:20,025 --> 00:07:23,788
city boy going for two weeks
into the woods.

124
00:07:23,788 --> 00:07:26,687
And the camp put on a play,
and I was in the play,

125
00:07:26,687 --> 00:07:29,518
and something they had
written for me that I said

126
00:07:29,518 --> 00:07:31,727
caused the audience to cry.

127
00:07:31,934 --> 00:07:34,730
[soft music]

128
00:07:34,730 --> 00:07:37,042
This is about Willy.

129
00:07:37,042 --> 00:07:40,529
Zero hour...9:00 a.m.

130
00:07:40,943 --> 00:07:44,084
And I was bitten by the bug.

131
00:07:44,084 --> 00:07:46,638
And I'm gonna be high.

132
00:07:46,638 --> 00:07:48,709
Maybe it was communication.

133
00:07:48,709 --> 00:07:50,746
Maybe it was, wow,
I made people cry.

134
00:07:50,746 --> 00:07:52,092
I'll try and make them laugh.

135
00:07:53,265 --> 00:07:54,577
And that was a lifetime.

136
00:07:54,577 --> 00:07:55,785
He died
of a heart attack onstage.

137
00:07:55,785 --> 00:07:57,960
That's what he died-

138
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,928
That's the way I want to go.

139
00:08:00,928 --> 00:08:01,998

00:08:19,775 --> 00:08:23,261
Nothing there particularly
to get an award for.

146
00:08:23,261 --> 00:08:25,470
I just did what any actor

147
00:08:25,470 --> 00:08:27,299
was doing
to one degree or another.

148
00:08:29,129 --> 00:08:32,857
But what I did do,
somewhat consciously...

149
00:08:34,997 --> 00:08:38,138
Was take care

150
00:08:38,138 --> 00:08:40,623
of the inner child,

151
00:08:40,623 --> 00:08:45,283
that curious baby
who looked around

152
00:08:45,283 --> 00:08:47,216
and said, why is the sky blue?

153
00:08:47,216 --> 00:08:49,908
Do worms have eyes?

154
00:08:49,908 --> 00:08:52,186
What are they doing

155
00:08:52,739 --> 00:08:53,912
Why are we here?

156
00:08:53,912 --> 00:08:56,363
Is there a God?
What happens after death?

157
00:08:56,363 --> 00:08:59,297
We ask ourselves questions.

158
00:08:59,297 --> 00:09:00,678
Why?

159
00:09:00,678 --> 00:09:02,472
Excuse me,

160
00:09:02,472 --> 00:09:04,716
I'd just
like to ask a question.

161
00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:08,686
What does God need
with a Starship?

162
00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:14,830
Will they reach New York
all right now?

163
00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:17,349
Are we gonna live in the East?

164
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:20,007
Are we gonna live in the West?

165
00:09:20,525 --> 00:09:21,353
Are we gonna live
in this country?

166
00:09:22,216 --> 00:09:26,773
And then as you...

167
00:09:26,773 --> 00:09:30,466
get a job and you get married
or you have children,

168
00:09:30,466 --> 00:09:34,953
life's exigencies prey on you,

169
00:09:34,953 --> 00:09:38,750
and that curiosity
is generally beaten

170
00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:41,719
out of you in school, in life.

171
00:09:41,719 --> 00:09:44,549
You lose the curiosity.

172
00:09:44,549 --> 00:09:46,689
And that's a shame

173
00:09:46,689 --> 00:09:51,073
because that curiosity
is what keeps us...

174
00:09:52,937 --> 00:09:54,732
Alive.

175
00:09:54,732 --> 00:09:57,182
Children never age.

176
00:09:57,182 --> 00:10:00,185
Eternal childhood
filled with play.

177
00:10:00,185 --> 00:10:02,498
No responsibilities.

178
00:10:02,498 --> 00:10:03,844
It's almost like a dream.

179
00:10:03,844 --> 00:10:06,847
I wouldn't examine
that dream too closely.

180
00:10:06,847 --> 00:10:08,642
It might not turn out
to be very pretty.

181
00:10:08,884 --> 00:10:10,471

00:19:09,734 --> 00:19:12,185
as I talk to you...

360
00:19:12,185 --> 00:19:15,464
that those Westerns
and those horses,

361
00:19:15,464 --> 00:19:17,742
the legend
of the American West

362
00:19:17,742 --> 00:19:19,123
was everything.

363
00:19:19,123 --> 00:19:21,160
I rode a great

364
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,128
saddle-bred
stallion bareback

365
00:19:24,128 --> 00:19:27,338
in a movie we made
on Alexander the Great.

366
00:19:27,338 --> 00:19:29,961
Alexander was
Captain Kirk in 300 BC.

367
00:19:31,515 --> 00:19:34,173
I rode bareback,
which is very difficult to do,

368
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:36,727
at a gallop with a sword and
a shield

369
00:19:36,727 --> 00:19:37,831
and holding the horse.

370
00:19:37,831 --> 00:19:41,594
And I worked for six months
getting myself ready

371
00:19:41,594 --> 00:19:42,698
for that movie.

372
00:19:42,698 --> 00:19:45,701
And that was, like, everything.

373
00:19:46,392 --> 00:19:48,842
I admire people who...

374
00:19:50,050 --> 00:19:52,191
go home in the role.

375
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:53,951
I mean, they bring the role
home with them.

376
00:19:54,469 --> 00:19:59,370
My actor heroes were
Olivier and Marlon Brando,

377
00:19:59,370 --> 00:20:02,166
two opposite poles

378
00:20:02,166 --> 00:20:06,343
of the acting rainbow,
if you will.

379
00:20:06,343 --> 00:20:09,829
And being Canadian,
I was in between the English

380
00:20:09,829 --> 00:20:12,418
and the American worlds.

381
00:20:12,418 --> 00:20:16,560
So I had long since learned
to learn the words,

382
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,596
do the best you can
with the character.

383
00:20:18,596 --> 00:20:21,185
My office is next to yours
at the Palace of Justice,

384
00:20:21,185 --> 00:20:22,600
if you need anything.
- Thank you.

385
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,292
Senator.

386
00:20:24,292 --> 00:20:25,534
And when it was done,
you were done.

387
00:20:25,534 --> 00:20:27,364
I mean, you're
a professional actor.

388
00:20:27,364 --> 00:20:29,366
A carpenter doesn't come home

389
00:20:29,366 --> 00:20:32,921
and try to fix the
dining-room table necessarily.

390
00:20:33,128 --> 00:20:34,888
But if you say, this character,

391
00:20:34,888 --> 00:20:36,062
is on a five-year mission

392
00:20:36,062 --> 00:20:37,615
to discover

393
00:20:37,615 --> 00:20:39,548
and he's filled
with awe and wonder

394
00:20:39,548 --> 00:20:40,998
about what he's discovering,

395
00:20:40,998 --> 00:20:42,793
what else do you need to know?

396
00:20:42,793 --> 00:20:44,829
Gentlemen,

397
00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:46,314
they're debating
in a vacuum.

398
00:20:46,314 --> 00:20:47,832
Let's go get some answers.

399
00:20:48,385 --> 00:20:51,008
Every line then becomes,
wow, look at that.

400
00:20:51,008 --> 00:20:52,458
Look at this.
Look at that.

401
00:20:52,458 --> 00:20:54,701
I prefer this-

402
00:20:54,701 --> 00:20:57,325
double-action .357 Magnum,

403
00:20:57,325 --> 00:20:59,188
loaded with hollow points.

404
00:20:59,603 --> 00:21:02,399
TJ Hooker,
a recalcitrant policeman

405
00:21:02,399 --> 00:21:03,883
who doesn't want to do
all these new things

406
00:21:03,883 --> 00:21:06,437
like read Miranda rights-
what the hell is that?

407
00:21:06,437 --> 00:21:08,784
It'll tear a 6-inch hole in
you going in

408
00:21:08,784 --> 00:21:11,062
and the Holland Tunnel
coming out.

409
00:21:11,822 --> 00:21:12,685
Resist arrest.

410
00:21:15,032 --> 00:21:17,206
Resist arrest, please.

411
00:21:17,206 --> 00:21:18,484
He's a bad guy.

412
00:21:18,484 --> 00:21:20,693
You mean I have to?
For God sakes.

413
00:21:20,693 --> 00:21:21,901
Okay, I will.

414
00:21:21,901 --> 00:21:23,558
Now to prison,

415
00:21:23,558 --> 00:21:25,076
When a bust does stick,

416
00:21:25,974 --> 00:21:27,493
we house them,

417
00:21:27,493 --> 00:21:30,081
give them color TV
and their wives on weekends.

418
00:21:30,081 --> 00:21:33,222
If that makes sense to you...

419
00:21:33,844 --> 00:21:35,397
then you and I are about
to have a problem,

420
00:21:35,397 --> 00:21:36,812
because
I'm your instructor here,

421
00:21:36,812 --> 00:21:40,644
and I love to weed out
airheads and marshmallows.

422
00:21:43,232 --> 00:21:44,786
That's the character.

423
00:21:44,786 --> 00:21:47,616
And Denny Crane,
like, confused.

424
00:21:47,616 --> 00:21:48,928
Like...

425
00:21:48,928 --> 00:21:50,964
I don't quite remember.

426
00:21:51,862 --> 00:21:52,725
Denny Crane.

427
00:21:52,725 --> 00:21:54,554
Yes, I know
you're Denny Crane.

428
00:21:54,554 --> 00:21:56,591
Why do you always
tell me your name?

429
00:21:56,591 --> 00:21:57,902
Is it so you won't forget?

430
00:21:57,902 --> 00:22:02,907
Two wild things that
David E. Kelley wrote

431
00:22:02,907 --> 00:22:04,702
that I don't even think
he knew

432
00:22:04,702 --> 00:22:06,739
'cause he never offered
an explanation.

433
00:22:06,739 --> 00:22:07,395
Two things.

434
00:22:08,016 --> 00:22:11,433
One is, he had the character
say the name Denny Crane.

435
00:22:11,433 --> 00:22:13,262
Denny Crane.

436
00:22:13,262 --> 00:22:15,782
So he'd write out Denny Crane,
Denny Crane, Denny Crane.

437
00:22:15,782 --> 00:22:17,336
Denny Crane.
Denny Crane.

438
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:18,509
Denny Crane.

439
00:22:18,509 --> 00:22:20,269
I'm ahead of you there.

440
00:22:20,269 --> 00:22:22,789
- Denny Crane.
- Good for you.

441
00:22:23,376 --> 00:22:24,584
What the hell
does that mean?

442
00:22:24,584 --> 00:22:25,999
What's he saying?

443
00:22:25,999 --> 00:22:27,760
I had a picture

444
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,970
of reptiles

445
00:22:30,970 --> 00:22:34,387
who flick out their tongue
to get a reading

446
00:22:34,387 --> 00:22:36,976
on what the atmosphere
is like, its scent.

447
00:22:36,976 --> 00:22:38,598
That flicking is not-

448
00:22:38,598 --> 00:22:40,531
That's their nose

449
00:22:40,531 --> 00:22:43,051
and their apprehension
and comprehension

450
00:22:43,051 --> 00:22:44,363
of their environment.

451
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:46,848
[grunting softly]

452
00:22:46,848 --> 00:22:49,540
So Denny Crane,
I pictured,

453
00:22:49,540 --> 00:22:52,163
Denny Crane, Denny Crane.

454
00:22:52,163 --> 00:22:53,958
Eh, Denny Crane.

455
00:22:53,958 --> 00:22:55,857
And getting a reading.

456
00:22:55,857 --> 00:22:57,376
When I say Denny Crane,
what's your reaction?

457
00:22:57,376 --> 00:22:58,515
- What's my name?
- Denny Crane.

458
00:22:58,515 --> 00:22:59,792
- Like you mean it.
- Denny Crane.

459
00:22:59,792 --> 00:23:03,071
- What's my name?
- Denny Crane!

460
00:23:03,071 --> 00:23:04,521
No further questions.

461
00:23:04,521 --> 00:23:05,763
Oh, you know me.

462
00:23:05,763 --> 00:23:08,007
You don't know me?
Denny Crane. Denny Crane.

463
00:23:08,007 --> 00:23:11,700
Could you just
say those two little words

464
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:14,013
I so long to hear?

465
00:23:17,465 --> 00:23:18,535
Denny Crane.

466
00:23:19,156 --> 00:23:20,019
Thank you.

467
00:23:20,502 --> 00:23:22,331
Then...

468
00:23:22,331 --> 00:23:24,023
every so often
in the five years

469
00:23:24,023 --> 00:23:27,026
that we did the show,
he'd write-

470
00:23:27,026 --> 00:23:29,649
the character would say,
"Play the music."

471
00:23:29,649 --> 00:23:32,825
I'd say to the director,
do you understand what-

472
00:23:32,825 --> 00:23:34,378
Who am I saying,
play the music?

473
00:23:34,378 --> 00:23:36,311
Do you understand play-
No, I don't know.

474
00:23:36,311 --> 00:23:37,864
So I'd say, play the music.

475
00:23:37,864 --> 00:23:39,487
I didn't know what
to do with the line.

476
00:23:39,487 --> 00:23:42,179
On the last show,
the last season,

477
00:23:42,179 --> 00:23:44,768
he has the character say...

478
00:23:44,768 --> 00:23:47,771
"I think of my life
as a TV show."

479
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:51,119
That's why he's saying
play the music.

480
00:23:52,016 --> 00:23:53,224
Cue the music.

481
00:23:55,779 --> 00:23:59,196
So that's the discoveries.

482
00:23:59,196 --> 00:24:00,784
That's the fuel.

483
00:24:00,784 --> 00:24:03,131
And from then,
you just maneuver

484
00:24:03,131 --> 00:24:04,235
the ship anywhere you want,

485
00:24:04,235 --> 00:24:06,548
but you've got
an engine going.

486
00:24:06,755 --> 00:24:09,240
Remembering the lines

487
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,071
is an unspoken-about skill.

488
00:24:12,485 --> 00:24:15,039
Laurence Olivier came onstage

489
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:16,075
and forgot his lines-

490
00:24:16,075 --> 00:24:18,180
we call it going dry-

491
00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:22,495
in his acceptance speech
for the Academy Award.

492
00:24:22,495 --> 00:24:24,221
I remember saying,
what did he say?

493
00:24:25,636 --> 00:24:29,019
In the great wealth,

494
00:24:29,019 --> 00:24:31,262
the great firmament

495
00:24:31,262 --> 00:24:34,058
of your nation's generosities,

496
00:24:34,058 --> 00:24:37,510
this particular choice

497
00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:40,617
may perhaps be found
by future generations

498
00:24:40,617 --> 00:24:44,690
as a trifle eccentric,
but the mere fact of it...

499
00:24:44,690 --> 00:24:47,900
Either that day
or days later,

500
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:51,420
he explained he didn't know
what he was saying

501
00:24:51,420 --> 00:24:52,801
'cause he was so panicked

502
00:24:52,801 --> 00:24:54,596
being in front
of that audience.

503
00:24:54,596 --> 00:24:58,117
He just spoke words.
He made absolutely no sense.

504
00:24:58,117 --> 00:25:00,257
He just strung phrases

505
00:25:00,257 --> 00:25:02,639
that he had remembered
from Shakespeare plays

506
00:25:02,639 --> 00:25:04,226
and anything
you could think of.

507
00:25:04,226 --> 00:25:08,990
There's a pen on the desk,
and it writes beautifully.

508
00:25:08,990 --> 00:25:13,235
And the extraordinary
elation,

509
00:25:13,235 --> 00:25:15,652
the euphoria that happens

510
00:25:15,652 --> 00:25:17,481
to so many of us

511
00:25:17,481 --> 00:25:20,070
at the first breath

512
00:25:20,070 --> 00:25:22,831
of the majestic glow

513
00:25:22,831 --> 00:25:25,696
of a new tomorrow.

514
00:25:25,696 --> 00:25:28,147
And we all are fearful
of forgetting.

515
00:25:28,147 --> 00:25:29,458
I would imagine-

516
00:25:29,458 --> 00:25:30,632
I've not talked about this

517
00:25:30,632 --> 00:25:32,772
at any great length
with other actors.

518
00:25:32,772 --> 00:25:36,224
But for me, learning the words
is the work of the actor.

519
00:25:36,224 --> 00:25:38,260
Everything else is a kick.

520
00:25:38,260 --> 00:25:39,676
Without paying the penalty

521
00:25:39,676 --> 00:25:41,367
of sky-high fuel bills.

522
00:25:41,367 --> 00:25:43,990
I'm delighted

523
00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:47,235
to be part of the future...

524
00:25:48,719 --> 00:25:51,480
of Kero-Sun.

525
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,344
I really am.

526
00:25:53,344 --> 00:25:55,243
Now I go.

527
00:25:55,243 --> 00:25:58,626
[laughter]

528
00:26:00,248 --> 00:26:02,871
An actor brings himself.

529
00:26:02,871 --> 00:26:05,391
Again, Laurence Olivier-
they used to say,

530
00:26:05,391 --> 00:26:09,844
with his makeup on,
first the nose came onstage,

531
00:26:09,844 --> 00:26:11,673
followed by Larry.

532
00:26:11,673 --> 00:26:13,572
No matter what you do-

533
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:15,539
with some exceptions,
like De Niro

534
00:26:15,539 --> 00:26:17,817
putting on a lot of weight,
and then taking the weight off

535
00:26:17,817 --> 00:26:19,025
to play that boxer.

536
00:26:19,025 --> 00:26:21,752
That was extraordinary
and unhealthy.

537
00:26:21,752 --> 00:26:25,376
But for the most part,
all the actor can do

538
00:26:25,376 --> 00:26:28,241
is bring who he is

I would do the same thing
without hesitation,

689
00:33:07,192 --> 00:33:10,229
were absolutely necessary
if I were to save my ship.

690
00:33:12,024 --> 00:33:14,337
And nothing...

691
00:33:14,337 --> 00:33:16,753
is more important
than my ship.

692
00:33:16,753 --> 00:33:20,584
And so I think
I brought more humor, more...

00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:22,966

720
00:34:33,036 --> 00:34:34,348
[haltingly]
And he talks like this.

721
00:34:34,348 --> 00:34:36,522
And when
they started doing that,

722
00:34:36,522 --> 00:34:39,180
I remember turning to my wife-
is that me?

723
00:34:39,180 --> 00:34:41,355
Is that what they're doing?

724
00:34:41,355 --> 00:34:44,185
Normally, Shatner talks at
a pretty lightning-fast pace.

725
00:34:44,185 --> 00:34:46,187
He's William Shatner.
He's talking.

726
00:34:46,187 --> 00:34:48,741
And when sometimes the lines
aren't as...

727
00:34:48,741 --> 00:34:51,986
obvious to him,

728
00:34:51,986 --> 00:34:55,265
he slows down.
[laughter]

729
00:34:55,265 --> 00:34:59,269
Becomes more deliberate
in his approach...

730
00:34:59,269 --> 00:35:00,581
until he gets it,
then he's back

731
00:35:00,581 --> 00:35:02,721
speeding up again and talking.

732
00:35:02,721 --> 00:35:06,897
People's supposed imitation
of me is...

733
00:35:08,589 --> 00:35:10,556
I don't know.
I don't hear it.

734
00:35:10,556 --> 00:35:11,523
Listen to me.

735
00:35:11,523 --> 00:35:12,765
Time and space-

736
00:35:12,765 --> 00:35:15,906
you're taking up
valuable time and space.

737
00:35:17,977 --> 00:35:19,255
And when I speak,

738
00:35:19,255 --> 00:35:21,740
I never,
ever talk like every word

739
00:35:21,740 --> 00:35:23,914
is its own sentence.

740
00:35:25,813 --> 00:35:28,712
I became friends
with Edward G. Robinson.

741
00:35:28,712 --> 00:35:32,371
As an actor, he did
a lot of nyah, nyah.

742
00:35:32,371 --> 00:35:36,030
Well, I'm gonna rub them out.
Nyah.

743
00:35:36,030 --> 00:35:38,929
So I said to him one day...

744
00:35:40,276 --> 00:35:42,347
Do you know you go, nyah?

745
00:35:42,347 --> 00:35:46,040
He's like, I go, nyah?
[laughs]

746
00:35:46,247 --> 00:35:47,766
I turn on the radio,
what do I hear?

747
00:35:47,766 --> 00:35:48,767
Nyah, nyah, nyah.

748
00:35:48,767 --> 00:35:51,390
Everybody on television,
nyah, nyah, nyah.

749
00:35:51,839 --> 00:35:53,910
The day...

750
00:35:53,910 --> 00:35:57,258
the day my little baby
was born,

751
00:35:57,258 --> 00:36:00,606
the first time that
I picked him up in my arms,

752
00:36:00,606 --> 00:36:05,577
all other babies say,
goo, goo, dada.

753
00:36:05,577 --> 00:36:10,133
He looked up at me, and
he said, nyah, nyah, nyah.

754
00:36:10,478 --> 00:36:13,171
Comedy is as delicate

755
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:15,897
as a heart operation.

756
00:36:15,897 --> 00:36:18,003
If you say take my wife...

757
00:36:18,003 --> 00:36:20,695
please, you know...

758
00:36:20,695 --> 00:36:24,803
if you say, take my wife,
please, it's not funny.

759
00:36:24,803 --> 00:36:29,048
But if there's a mystical-
a mist, not mystical-

760
00:36:29,048 --> 00:36:31,741
but a mist...

761
00:36:31,741 --> 00:36:33,398
of humor.

762
00:36:33,398 --> 00:36:36,090
How are you all?
I'm glad to be here.

763
00:36:36,090 --> 00:36:37,781
Take my wife, please.

764
00:36:37,781 --> 00:36:39,438
[rimshot]

765
00:36:39,438 --> 00:36:43,649
One wrong move,
and you've lost the humor,

766
00:36:43,649 --> 00:36:45,582
lost the joke.

767
00:36:45,582 --> 00:36:47,343
I mean, if you're saying-
go back to the other line-

768
00:36:47,343 --> 00:36:48,758
take my wife, please.

769
00:36:48,758 --> 00:36:50,346
I don't know why I keep
going back to that.

770
00:36:50,346 --> 00:36:51,864
I don't want you
to take my wife.

771
00:36:51,864 --> 00:36:53,521
Please don't take my wife.

772
00:36:53,521 --> 00:36:56,490
Take my-
[coughs] Please.

773
00:36:56,490 --> 00:36:58,077
Somebody in the office-

774
00:36:58,077 --> 00:37:01,149
in the audience coughs...

775
00:37:01,149 --> 00:37:03,497
it destroys the laugh.
It's empty.

776
00:37:03,497 --> 00:37:06,224
One slight deviation

777
00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:09,123
from the timing of the line,

778
00:37:09,123 --> 00:37:11,159
but particularly
the feed line-

779
00:37:11,159 --> 00:37:13,955
There's a feed line
and a snapper,

780
00:37:13,955 --> 00:37:16,889
the joke line and laugh.

781
00:37:16,889 --> 00:37:21,342
The timing on that is
exquisite, exquisite.

782
00:37:21,342 --> 00:37:22,723
Fred Willard,
I've been watching your career

783
00:37:22,723 --> 00:37:25,035
for many years,
and I can honestly say...

784
00:37:25,726 --> 00:37:27,866
I don't get it.

785
00:37:27,866 --> 00:37:30,144
You're just so dry.

786
00:37:30,144 --> 00:37:30,834
If you were any dryer, you'd
be in Betty White's underwear.

787
00:37:35,391 --> 00:37:38,117
[applause]

788
00:37:38,117 --> 00:37:41,155
You rehearse in a room,

789
00:37:41,155 --> 00:37:43,537
and you think it's funny.

790
00:37:43,537 --> 00:37:47,610
And then opening night
in front of a trial audience,

791
00:37:47,610 --> 00:37:49,612
the play changes completely,

792
00:37:49,612 --> 00:37:51,717
'cause there's
another character in the play-

793
00:37:51,717 --> 00:37:53,167
the audience.

794
00:37:53,167 --> 00:37:54,064
Hello.

795
00:37:57,067 --> 00:37:59,553
Captain on the bridge,
captain on the bridge!

796
00:38:01,279 --> 00:38:02,970
You're William Shatner.

797
00:38:02,970 --> 00:38:04,282
You can call me Bill.

798
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:05,455
- Can I call you Captain?
- No.

799
00:38:05,455 --> 00:38:07,388
- Please?
- No.

800
00:38:07,388 --> 00:38:10,736
And, slowly,
you play that music

801
00:38:10,736 --> 00:38:13,739
of allowing the audience in,

802
00:38:13,739 --> 00:38:18,330
incorporating the audience in
so that...

803
00:38:18,330 --> 00:38:20,953
you're playing
to the audience,

804
00:38:20,953 --> 00:38:22,300
but you're not playing
to the audience.

805
00:38:22,921 --> 00:38:24,440
I've appeared onstage

806
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,062
at Stratford,

807
00:38:26,062 --> 00:38:28,513
at Carnegie Hall, Albert Hall,

808
00:38:28,513 --> 00:38:30,894
and the Monkland Theater
in MBG.

809
00:38:30,894 --> 00:38:34,104
[cheers and applause]

810
00:38:34,104 --> 00:38:38,177
And, yes, I've gone where
no man has gone before,

811
00:38:38,177 --> 00:38:39,972
but...

812
00:38:39,972 --> 00:38:42,975
I was in Mexico, and
her father gave me permission.

813
00:38:44,460 --> 00:38:48,740
My name is William Shatner,
and I am Canadian!

814
00:38:50,362 --> 00:38:51,743
And you're aware
of the audience,

815
00:38:51,743 --> 00:38:52,985
but you're not aware
of the audience.

816
00:38:52,985 --> 00:38:55,988
It's a delicate balance
everywhere.

817
00:38:55,988 --> 00:38:58,163
And the moment you lose that
balance, you lose the laugh.

818
00:38:58,163 --> 00:39:00,476
You lose the continuity.
You lose the character.

819
00:39:00,476 --> 00:39:02,754
Everything
goes out the window.

820
00:39:03,548 --> 00:39:05,343
That first laugh...

821
00:39:05,343 --> 00:39:07,310
[chuckles]

822
00:39:07,310 --> 00:39:11,141
It's like suckling
on mother's milk.

823
00:39:12,315 --> 00:39:13,696
It's just...

824
00:39:13,696 --> 00:39:15,905
Ladies and gentlemen,
William Shatner.

825
00:39:15,905 --> 00:39:17,803
Empowering.

826
00:39:18,252 --> 00:39:19,115
Thank you, thank you.

827
00:39:19,115 --> 00:39:20,944
Thank you very much.

828
00:39:20,944 --> 00:39:23,188
Thank you.

829
00:39:23,188 --> 00:39:27,503
The producer said, we'd like
you to do the opening

830
00:39:27,503 --> 00:39:30,989
for George Lucas's
Lifetime Achievement Award.

831
00:39:30,989 --> 00:39:34,199
And the sketch for me-

832
00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:36,684
It was literally a sketch.

833
00:39:36,684 --> 00:39:39,515
You go out there and act

834
00:39:39,515 --> 00:39:43,795
as though you're
at a "Star Trek" convention.

835
00:39:43,795 --> 00:39:46,832
"Star Trek"
changed everything.

836
00:39:46,832 --> 00:39:51,492
[laughing]

837
00:39:51,492 --> 00:39:54,081
And aren't these conventions
wonderful?

838
00:39:54,081 --> 00:39:56,635
[laughing]

839
00:39:56,635 --> 00:40:00,743
And then discover
that it's "Star Wars"...

840
00:40:00,743 --> 00:40:04,505
[laughing] And then get off
as fast as you can.

841
00:40:04,505 --> 00:40:08,095
So I take a piece of paper
out of my hand.

842
00:40:09,924 --> 00:40:14,239
"Mr. Shatner, we want you
to open the show.

843
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,861
[mumbles]

844
00:40:15,861 --> 00:40:18,657
'Star Wars'?"

845
00:40:18,657 --> 00:40:22,454
And they got it,
and they started to laugh.

846
00:40:22,454 --> 00:40:24,318
And the moment
they started to laugh,

847
00:40:24,318 --> 00:40:26,734
I realized that I had them,

848
00:40:26,734 --> 00:40:29,254
because that's
a very delicate balance.

849
00:40:29,254 --> 00:40:32,119
Imagine...

850
00:40:32,119 --> 00:40:34,397
if they didn't get it.

851
00:40:34,397 --> 00:40:35,709
George.

852
00:40:37,227 --> 00:40:38,953
It's George, isn't it?

853
00:40:38,953 --> 00:40:42,267
[laughing]

854
00:40:42,267 --> 00:40:43,924
May I call you George?

855
00:40:44,925 --> 00:40:46,029
Thank you.

856
00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:47,962
You can call me Mr. Shatner.

857
00:40:47,962 --> 00:40:49,585
[laughing]

858
00:40:50,137 --> 00:40:53,243
That's how delicate
a balance comedy is.

859
00:40:53,243 --> 00:40:55,901
That's the...

860
00:40:55,901 --> 00:40:58,076
springboard...

861
00:40:58,076 --> 00:41:00,078
that you dive off of

862
00:41:00,078 --> 00:41:01,389
from a 30-foot height,

863
00:41:01,389 --> 00:41:05,048
and you hope there's water
in the pool.

864
00:41:05,048 --> 00:41:06,602
That's comedy.

865
00:41:06,602 --> 00:41:11,123
That's the courage
of a madman.

866
00:41:11,123 --> 00:41:13,367
And...

867
00:41:13,367 --> 00:41:15,127
when you fail...

868
00:41:16,888 --> 00:41:19,097
I failed.

869
00:41:19,097 --> 00:41:20,581
I did fail once,

870
00:41:20,581 --> 00:41:24,171
more than once, but this
was a memorable failure.

871
00:41:24,758 --> 00:41:26,794
So I was asked to do
a stand-up comedy routine.

872
00:41:26,794 --> 00:41:29,210
So I got a great idea.

873
00:41:29,210 --> 00:41:31,489
I'll come out as Captain Kirk,

874
00:41:31,489 --> 00:41:33,283
who thinks
he's a stand-up comic.

875
00:41:34,664 --> 00:41:36,632
Take my wife, please.

876
00:41:36,632 --> 00:41:38,772
'Cause he's got no timing

877
00:41:38,772 --> 00:41:42,016
'cause he's a captain of
a Starship, he's not a comic.

878
00:41:42,016 --> 00:41:45,088
And what if he's the worst
stand-up comic that ever was?

879
00:41:45,088 --> 00:41:46,504
That sounds funny to me.

880
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:48,747
Take my wife, please.

881
00:41:48,747 --> 00:41:50,818
Nobody's laughing.
Shit.

882
00:41:50,818 --> 00:41:53,511
That was my lesson

883
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:55,858
in comedy failing.

884
00:41:55,858 --> 00:41:59,482
I almost forgot it,
it was so painful.

885
00:41:59,482 --> 00:42:01,346
It's embarrassing.

886
00:42:01,346 --> 00:42:05,764
And apparently a lot of,
if not all, stand-up comics-

887
00:42:05,764 --> 00:42:07,594
even the good ones,

888
00:42:07,594 --> 00:42:10,562
even the ones
that are, like, now popular

889
00:42:10,562 --> 00:42:11,529
and they're trying a
new routine out

890
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:13,600
and it doesn't work,
and it's like-

891
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,534
It's death. It's death.
You want to die.

892
00:42:16,534 --> 00:42:18,950
You want to die now.

893
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,263
And they go on, you know.
They keep going.

894
00:42:22,263 --> 00:42:23,748
Maybe this one will work.

895
00:42:24,024 --> 00:42:26,509
Great. I think we've got it.

896

Was I trying to make
a better movie?

1074
00:50:27,955 --> 00:50:31,304
Was I interested
in what it felt like?

1075
00:50:31,890 --> 00:50:34,376
That was the dumbest thing
I could have ever thought of,

1076
00:50:34,376 --> 00:50:36,619
putting myself in jeopardy
like that.

1077
00:50:37,034 --> 00:50:40,002
But logic only came in

1078
00:50:40,002 --> 00:50:41,969
after the passion.

1079
00:50:42,315 --> 00:50:44,765
be so obsessed.

1080
00:50:44,765 --> 00:50:45,801
Obsessed?

1081
00:50:47,630 --> 00:50:51,531
That you could destroy
yourself, uh, your career.

1082
00:50:51,531 --> 00:50:54,879
And we know that passion
overrides anything.

1083
00:50:54,879 --> 00:50:56,915
Overrides logic.

1084
00:50:56,915 --> 00:51:00,126
The reptilian brain of passion

1085
00:51:00,126 --> 00:51:04,475
overrides
the frontal lobe's thoughts.

1086
00:51:04,475 --> 00:51:07,823
It's unfortunate, but that's
what human beings are.

1087
00:51:08,203 --> 00:51:10,136
"What have I done?"

1088
00:51:10,136 --> 00:51:13,863
Which is a phrase
that I've used in my songs

1089
00:51:13,863 --> 00:51:14,795
quite a bit.

1090
00:51:14,795 --> 00:51:16,176
What have I done?

1091
00:51:17,591 --> 00:51:19,731
My God, Bones.

1092
00:51:19,731 --> 00:51:21,664
What have I done?

1093
00:51:21,664 --> 00:51:23,701
What you had to do...

1094
00:51:23,701 --> 00:51:26,186
what you always do...

1095
00:51:26,186 --> 00:51:28,878
turned death into
a fighting chance to live.

1096
00:51:31,364 --> 00:51:34,574
There's no ego involved,
as far as I can consider.

1097
00:51:35,057 --> 00:51:36,162
I don't care.

1098
00:51:36,162 --> 00:51:38,888
I would do whatever
I was doing in a vacuum.

1099
00:51:40,442 --> 00:51:42,720
- Sea monkeys?
- Piranha.

1100
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:46,068
Their lives exude
a beautiful simplicity-

1101
00:51:46,068 --> 00:51:48,035
savage, ruthless,

1102
00:51:48,035 --> 00:51:50,969
existing only
to devour and destroy,

1103
00:51:50,969 --> 00:51:54,283
to taste blood, to rend flesh.

1104
00:51:54,283 --> 00:51:57,942
Sounds like me, right?
[laughing]

1105
00:51:57,942 --> 00:51:59,599
[water bubbling]

1106
00:52:03,292 --> 00:52:04,535
[chuckles]

1107
00:52:04,535 --> 00:52:06,571
What's it like to do that?

1108
00:52:06,571 --> 00:52:08,987
What's it like?
What's it feel like?

1109
00:52:08,987 --> 00:52:10,713
There is a curiosity about it.

1110
00:52:10,713 --> 00:52:12,750
Can I do that?

1111
00:52:12,750 --> 00:52:16,063
Can I do that
without hurting myself?

1112
00:52:16,063 --> 00:52:18,963
You're going
against all the instincts

1113
00:52:18,963 --> 00:52:21,655
and intuition
of self-preservation

1114
00:52:21,655 --> 00:52:23,485
by doing these-

1115
00:52:23,485 --> 00:52:25,003
by challenging your life.

1116
00:52:25,694 --> 00:52:28,662
Have I the right
to jeopardize my crew, my ship

1117
00:52:28,662 --> 00:52:32,079
for a feeling
I can't even put into words?

1118
00:52:32,079 --> 00:52:34,012
No man achieves
Starfleet Command

1119
00:52:34,012 --> 00:52:36,049
without relying on intuition.

1120
00:52:36,049 --> 00:52:38,638
But have I made
a rational decision?

1121
00:52:38,638 --> 00:52:41,123
Am I letting the horrors
of the past

1122
00:52:41,123 --> 00:52:44,195
distort my judgment
of the present?

1123
00:52:44,195 --> 00:52:46,646
When you talk about thrills
and danger,

1124
00:52:46,646 --> 00:52:50,684
all that pales besides
the search for passion.

1125
00:52:51,168 --> 00:52:53,273
You should be passionate
about everything.

1126
00:52:53,273 --> 00:52:55,448
You should be passionate
about talking, about eating.

1127
00:52:55,448 --> 00:52:58,244
♪ I want a deep-fried turkey ♪

1128
00:52:58,244 --> 00:53:01,039
♪ I want a moister,
tastier turkey ♪

1129
00:53:01,039 --> 00:53:02,662
♪ I want a deep-fried turkey ♪

1130
00:53:03,352 --> 00:53:04,181
About loving.

1131
00:53:13,328 --> 00:53:15,019
About exploring.

1132
00:53:15,019 --> 00:53:16,814
I mean, name a verb,

1133
00:53:16,814 --> 00:53:19,334
and you should be passionate
about it.

1134
00:53:19,334 --> 00:53:21,405
Go boldly passionately.

1135
00:53:21,715 --> 00:53:23,993
Without that,
everything is academic.

1136
00:53:24,925 --> 00:53:27,342
Boldly go, go into war.

1137
00:53:27,342 --> 00:53:28,826
Sail your vessel.

1138
00:53:28,826 --> 00:53:30,793
Put your vessel next
to the bad guys

1139
00:53:30,793 --> 00:53:32,795
and shields up.

1140
00:53:32,795 --> 00:53:35,177
But now...

1141
00:53:35,177 --> 00:53:38,525
in the aftermath...

1142
00:53:38,525 --> 00:53:41,839
what is there
to boldly go into?

1143
00:53:41,839 --> 00:53:44,704
The last thing is death.

1144
00:53:44,704 --> 00:53:48,466
So boldly go into your life.

1145
00:53:48,466 --> 00:53:51,849
Live your life fully, passionately.

1146
00:53:52,884 --> 00:53:55,093
Have some effect,
do something good,

1147
00:53:55,093 --> 00:53:57,268
either to yourself,
to the people.

1148
00:53:57,268 --> 00:53:59,857
Leave something
that, you know,

1149
00:53:59,857 --> 00:54:02,308
that has some quality,
that has some value.

1150
00:54:03,723 --> 00:54:07,036
And then boldly go
into the next...

1151
00:54:07,036 --> 00:54:08,590
thing,

1152
00:54:08,590 --> 00:54:11,800
whether it's emptiness or...

1153
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,768
whatever it is.

1154
00:54:14,768 --> 00:54:18,910
So it's an interesting phrase-
"Go boldly."

1155
00:54:18,910 --> 00:54:21,292
Go boldly.
Go with courage.

1156
00:54:21,292 --> 00:54:24,502
Go fully.
Go with commitment.

1157
00:54:25,917 --> 00:54:27,678
That's what it means.

1158
00:54:27,678 --> 00:54:29,266
Don't do it half-heartedly.

1159
00:54:29,266 --> 00:54:31,371
Whatever it is you do,
do it fully.

1160
00:54:31,371 --> 00:54:33,822
Do it passionately.
Do it with your whole being.

1161
00:54:33,822 --> 00:54:36,721
This is what I believe in
for the next five minutes,

1162
00:54:36,721 --> 00:54:38,965
and then I'll believe
in something else.

1163
00:54:39,931 --> 00:54:41,692
That's what it means.

1164
00:54:43,590 --> 00:54:46,248
I've often talked about regret.

1165
00:54:46,248 --> 00:54:48,181
You can't regret.

1166
00:54:48,181 --> 00:54:51,218
Oh, I should have turned left.

1167
00:54:51,218 --> 00:54:55,361
Because you went to the left
because that was your passion.

1168
00:54:55,361 --> 00:54:57,984
Either turn around and go
the right, if you can,

1169
00:54:58,156 --> 00:54:59,882
or boldly go to the left.

1170
00:55:00,055 --> 00:55:04,162
See if you can make a purse
out of a pig's ear.

1171
00:55:04,577 --> 00:55:08,960
So I've tried to limit
my sense of regret.

1172
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,410
And that's why you
shouldn't have regrets.

1173
00:55:10,410 --> 00:55:12,619
You should try-
Ah, there's no "you should."

1174
00:55:12,619 --> 00:55:14,276
I don't know
what I'm talking about.

1175
00:55:14,276 --> 00:55:16,416
I...

1176
00:55:16,416 --> 00:55:18,729
tried not to do that.

1177
00:55:18,729 --> 00:55:22,008
I left home when it was safer
to stay home

1178
00:55:22,008 --> 00:55:23,837
and I wanted to stay home.

1179
00:55:23,837 --> 00:55:25,805
I...

1180
00:55:25,805 --> 00:55:28,463
I went onstage

1181
00:55:28,463 --> 00:55:31,604
as an understudy
for "Henry V."

1182
00:55:31,604 --> 00:55:34,020
Chris Plummer
was playing Henry.

1183
00:55:36,056 --> 00:55:37,264
Something was telling me-

1184
00:55:37,264 --> 00:55:39,301
drill those words,
drill those words.

1185
00:55:39,301 --> 00:55:40,820
Close the wall up
with our English-

1186
00:55:40,820 --> 00:55:42,131
Yeah, yeah,
I got it, I got it.

1187
00:55:43,443 --> 00:55:47,620
Once more unto the breach,
dear friend.

1188
00:55:47,620 --> 00:55:51,140
Once more un-
[mumbles]

1189
00:55:51,140 --> 00:55:52,832
And I would work
and work at it.

1190
00:55:54,454 --> 00:55:56,594
And about a week
into the opening

1191
00:55:56,594 --> 00:55:59,666
of "Henry V," less,

1192
00:55:59,666 --> 00:56:02,255
somebody says to me...

1193
00:56:02,255 --> 00:56:04,326
the director wants to talk
to you.

1194
00:56:04,326 --> 00:56:08,019
Says, Chris is ill
in the hospital.

1195
00:56:08,019 --> 00:56:09,158
Can you go on?

1196
00:56:11,609 --> 00:56:13,093
[softly] Now,

1197
00:56:13,093 --> 00:56:14,716
what did he know?

1198
00:56:14,716 --> 00:56:16,476
And I said, yes.
I can go on.

1199
00:56:30,317 --> 00:56:32,389
Timothy Leary,
on his deathbed,

1200
00:56:32,389 --> 00:56:35,012
took his final breath...

1201
00:56:35,012 --> 00:56:39,637
[inhales deeply]
And said, "Of course."

1202
00:56:42,122 --> 00:56:42,709
That's all he said.

1203
00:56:42,985 --> 00:56:45,229
He didn't give us
any explanation.

1204
00:56:45,229 --> 00:56:47,438
Of course what?
Of course what?

1205
00:56:47,438 --> 00:56:48,750
What did he see?
What did he see?

1206
00:56:48,750 --> 00:56:51,684
Maybe he said, "Off course."
I don't know!

1207
00:56:52,616 --> 00:56:54,997
He didn't give us any context!

1208
00:56:54,997 --> 00:56:57,379
Loneliness is a...

1209
00:56:57,379 --> 00:56:59,968
a strange beast.

1210
00:56:59,968 --> 00:57:03,903
We all are essentially alone.
We don't realize it.

1211
00:57:03,903 --> 00:57:06,319
We're born alone.
We die alone.

1212
00:57:06,319 --> 00:57:08,873
In between,
we have relationships.

1213
00:57:08,873 --> 00:57:12,532
And the relationships
are good.

1214
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:16,294
But do we really know
each other?

1215
00:57:16,294 --> 00:57:18,538
Do we really know ourselves?

1216
00:57:18,538 --> 00:57:21,748
Do we really know that...

1217
00:57:21,748 --> 00:57:24,889
we're not alone
because that person

1218
00:57:24,889 --> 00:57:27,305
or persons is...

1219
00:57:27,305 --> 00:57:31,551
is in us, with us, beside us?

1220
00:57:31,551 --> 00:57:34,520
I think that...

1221
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,523
essentially we're all alone.

1222
00:57:40,077 --> 00:57:42,804
I'm alone!

1223
00:57:42,804 --> 00:57:45,185
Alone.

1224
00:57:45,185 --> 00:57:46,635
[softly] Alone.

1225
00:57:48,465 --> 00:57:51,364
And some of us,
I think I'm included,

1226
00:57:51,364 --> 00:57:54,747
have been alone all our lives.

1227
00:57:54,747 --> 00:57:57,577
Never really had...

1228
00:57:57,577 --> 00:57:59,924
the friendship
that we read about.

1229
00:57:59,924 --> 00:58:02,824
I knew some kids
on the street,

1230
00:58:02,824 --> 00:58:05,861
but I never had a real friend.

1231
00:58:05,861 --> 00:58:07,587
I think...

1232
00:58:07,587 --> 00:58:11,039
the women in my life,
the loves of my life,

1233
00:58:11,039 --> 00:58:12,454
have been my friend

1234
00:58:12,454 --> 00:58:14,525
and has assuaged

1235
00:58:14,525 --> 00:58:15,630
that loneliness.

1236
00:58:15,630 --> 00:58:19,806
But I just have been alone...

1237
00:58:19,806 --> 00:58:22,602
all my life, pure and simple.

1238
00:58:22,602 --> 00:58:25,812
It goes along
with the idea of masks

1239
00:58:25,812 --> 00:58:27,745
and what we hold up,

1240
00:58:27,745 --> 00:58:30,299
and do we ever present
ourselves as we really are,

1241
00:58:30,610 --> 00:58:34,234
as we really are
to somebody else?

1242
00:58:34,234 --> 00:58:37,962
Can we be absolutely honest?

1243
00:58:37,962 --> 00:58:40,655
I mean,
for a longer period of time

1244
00:58:40,655 --> 00:58:43,589
than a flash of passion.

1245
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,524
I'm conflicted by it.

1246
00:58:47,524 --> 00:58:49,767
I don't want to be alone.

1247
00:58:49,767 --> 00:58:51,700
I'm afraid of being alone.

1248
00:58:51,700 --> 00:58:55,428

1423
01:06:54,458 --> 01:06:57,013
I mean, I was living
hand to mouth for many years.

1424
01:06:57,013 --> 01:06:58,911
My father I knew loved me,

1425
01:06:58,911 --> 01:07:01,845
but my mother wasn't

1426
01:07:01,845 --> 01:07:06,401
demonstrably loving
in that way.

1427
01:07:06,712 --> 01:07:09,094
I would watch sometimes
these athletes,

1428
01:07:09,094 --> 01:07:11,993
they get chosen
to be on the team

1429
01:07:11,993 --> 01:07:14,754
and they're
surrounded by their family,

1430
01:07:14,754 --> 01:07:16,239
and the mother hugs the boy,

1431
01:07:16,239 --> 01:07:18,793
and the boy hugs the mother
before the father.

1432
01:07:18,793 --> 01:07:21,175
Wow.
That's something.

1433
01:07:21,175 --> 01:07:23,625
I marvel at it all the time.

1434
01:07:23,625 --> 01:07:26,594
Oh, Johnny, you made the team.
I'm so proud.

1435
01:07:26,594 --> 01:07:28,699
Mom! I did it, Mom!

1436
01:07:28,699 --> 01:07:31,047
Wow.

1437
01:07:31,047 --> 01:07:32,634
I never said "Mom."

1438
01:07:32,634 --> 01:07:35,189
I don't say "my mom."

1439
01:07:35,189 --> 01:07:36,845
"I love my mom."

1440
01:07:36,845 --> 01:07:39,124
Mom?
What the hell is mom?

1441
01:07:39,124 --> 01:07:40,677
It's "my mother."

1442
01:07:42,713 --> 01:07:46,924
When children talk
about their female parent

1443
01:07:46,924 --> 01:07:48,788
and they say "my mom"-

1444
01:07:48,788 --> 01:07:50,445
like, wow.

1445
01:07:50,445 --> 01:07:55,001
That's so warm and loving,
and I never had that.

1446
01:07:55,001 --> 01:07:57,107
I never had that with her.

1447
01:07:57,107 --> 01:08:01,422
She never offered
a motherly thing.

1448
01:08:01,422 --> 01:08:03,665
Oh, it's all right, sweetheart.

1449
01:08:03,665 --> 01:08:06,703
We grieve all the time
for things that we lose.

1450
01:08:06,703 --> 01:08:10,189
We're in grief
a great deal of our life.

1451
01:08:10,189 --> 01:08:13,572
And we have to learn
to live with grief.

1452
01:08:13,572 --> 01:08:16,816
And then you learn to grieve
for the end of life,

1453
01:08:16,816 --> 01:08:19,233
like I'm losing life.

1454
01:08:19,233 --> 01:08:20,924
I'm losing my life.

1455
01:08:20,924 --> 01:08:22,270
I'm in-

1456
01:08:22,270 --> 01:08:24,824
What was that line
from Chekhov?

1457
01:08:25,170 --> 01:08:26,930
Why do you always
wear black?

1458
01:08:26,930 --> 01:08:29,070
I'm in mourning...

1459
01:08:29,070 --> 01:08:30,899
for my life.

1460
01:08:30,899 --> 01:08:33,074
I'm in mourning
for my youth.

1461
01:08:33,074 --> 01:08:36,388
Why are you wearing black?
I'm in mourning for my youth.

1462
01:08:36,388 --> 01:08:38,079
Are atoms lonely?

1463
01:08:38,079 --> 01:08:42,877
Is an electron lonely when it
doesn't go around the nucleus?

1464
01:08:42,877 --> 01:08:44,603
Are scientists
as lonely as that

1465
01:08:44,603 --> 01:08:47,433
when they look
through a telescope

1466
01:08:47,433 --> 01:08:49,780
out into the space

1467
01:08:49,780 --> 01:08:53,439
and they see how far and
how enormous everything is?

1468
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:57,029
How dictatorial...

1469
01:08:57,029 --> 01:08:59,031
the laws of nature are?

1470
01:08:59,031 --> 01:09:01,171
There's no bending there.

1471
01:09:01,171 --> 01:09:02,379
You can go around in a circle,

1472
01:09:02,379 --> 01:09:04,105
and you enter
into a black hole,

1473
01:09:04,105 --> 01:09:06,176
and you're gone forever.

1474
01:09:06,176 --> 01:09:09,421
There seems
no escape from any of that.

1475
01:09:10,767 --> 01:09:14,460
We're aware of the...

1476
01:09:14,460 --> 01:09:19,293
imponderable mysteries
out there.

1477
01:09:19,293 --> 01:09:21,122
We don't know anything.

1478
01:09:21,122 --> 01:09:22,917
I mean, the Earth-

1479
01:09:22,917 --> 01:09:25,437
the Earth is alone.

1480
01:09:25,437 --> 01:09:28,025
There's nothing like it
in our solar system,

1481
01:09:28,025 --> 01:09:32,237
and for us to get beyond the
solar system is monumental.

1482
01:09:34,963 --> 01:09:36,448
We are leaving that vast

1483
01:09:36,448 --> 01:09:38,001
cloud of stars and planets

1484
01:09:38,001 --> 01:09:39,865
which we call our galaxy.

1485
01:09:40,486 --> 01:09:44,283
Behind us, Earth, Mars, Venus,
even our sun

1486
01:09:44,283 --> 01:09:46,596
are specks of dust.

1487
01:09:46,596 --> 01:09:47,976
A question...

1488
01:09:49,323 --> 01:09:52,257
what is out there
in the black void beyond?

1489
01:09:54,086 --> 01:09:56,640
The planet is all we have.

1490
01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:00,748
And it is so...

1491
01:10:00,748 --> 01:10:03,371
ephemerally small.

1492
01:10:05,408 --> 01:10:09,205
We don't grasp how small it is
until you look at it.

1493
01:10:09,205 --> 01:10:10,378
My God.

1494
01:10:11,724 --> 01:10:14,244
So you talk about loneliness.

1495
01:10:14,244 --> 01:10:16,660
This is loneliness, man.

1496
01:10:16,660 --> 01:10:18,421
The whole planet is alone.

1497
01:10:18,421 --> 01:10:21,217
Human beings walking around
are alone.

1498
01:10:21,217 --> 01:10:23,909
And I think that,
and I feel that.

1499
01:10:23,909 --> 01:10:25,807
So it's more than Mommy.

1500
01:10:25,807 --> 01:10:27,015
It's...

1501
01:10:29,086 --> 01:10:30,743
it's huge.

1502
01:10:36,853 --> 01:10:39,165
Science fiction became
science fact

1503
01:10:39,165 --> 01:10:41,202
for actor
William Shatner today.

1504
01:10:41,202 --> 01:10:43,687
At 90 years old,
"Star Trek's" Captain Kirk

1505
01:10:43,687 --> 01:10:47,035
became the oldest person
to travel to space.

1506
01:10:48,071 --> 01:10:51,177
I'm lying in the seat...

1507
01:10:51,177 --> 01:10:55,561
and the engines
are fulminating.

1508
01:10:56,044 --> 01:10:57,391
Our astronauts
can feel that.

1509
01:10:57,391 --> 01:10:59,565
They are sitting at the top
of a 60-foot rocket.

1510
01:10:59,565 --> 01:11:04,398
And I hear, all right,
we're starting our countdown.

1511
01:11:04,398 --> 01:11:06,227
But before we start
a countdown-

1512
01:11:06,227 --> 01:11:08,056
This is almost verbatim.

1513
01:11:08,056 --> 01:11:09,851
Before we start
the countdown,

1514
01:11:09,851 --> 01:11:12,578
we're going to remove
the gantry.

1515
01:11:13,441 --> 01:11:17,203
So, if anybody decides
that they don't want to go,

1516
01:11:17,203 --> 01:11:19,585
now's the time to get off.

1517
01:11:19,585 --> 01:11:20,966
Huh?

1518
01:11:20,966 --> 01:11:22,347
I could go.

1519
01:11:22,347 --> 01:11:24,521
No, I can't go.
I can't go.

1520
01:11:24,521 --> 01:11:26,074
I'm Captain Kirk.

1521
01:11:26,074 --> 01:11:28,698
Now it's a go.
Countdown.

1522
01:11:28,698 --> 01:11:31,977
Hold on. There's an anomaly
in the engine.

1523
01:11:31,977 --> 01:11:33,427
An anomaly.

1524
01:11:33,427 --> 01:11:35,291
That's a great English word.

1525
01:11:37,569 --> 01:11:40,951
There's something different
about this engine.

1526
01:11:40,951 --> 01:11:44,196
And all those thoughts
were flooding my brain.

1527
01:11:44,196 --> 01:11:46,267
I could've got off.

1528
01:11:46,267 --> 01:11:47,613
The "Hindenburg."

1529
01:11:47,613 --> 01:11:50,202
All right,
the anomaly's solved.

1530
01:11:50,202 --> 01:11:53,136
And we continue the countdown.

1531
01:11:53,136 --> 01:11:56,277
And now we're into liftoff,

1532
01:11:56,277 --> 01:11:58,935
and I'm looking out
the window,

1533
01:11:58,935 --> 01:12:00,350
and I see clouds of-

1534
01:12:00,350 --> 01:12:02,939
Oh, shit, I hope
this thing takes off.

1535
01:12:02,939 --> 01:12:04,112
My heart skipped a beat.

1536
01:12:04,112 --> 01:12:07,564
And on the brink of an eye,
it all happened so fast.

1537
01:12:07,564 --> 01:12:12,120
A thunderous blast shot up
as clouds passed.

1538
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:14,916
Punched a hole in the sky!

1539
01:12:14,916 --> 01:12:16,539
[musical flourish]

1540
01:12:16,539 --> 01:12:19,162
And...
[imitates engine rumbling]

1541
01:12:19,162 --> 01:12:20,577
And it starts to go.

1542
01:12:20,577 --> 01:12:23,822
Holy cow.
[grunts] And we're up in the-

1543
01:12:23,822 --> 01:12:25,962
And I'm looking
at the disappearing-

1544
01:12:25,962 --> 01:12:28,136
it's on my right-hand side-
disappearing Earth.

1545
01:12:29,172 --> 01:12:31,726
And we're up.

1546
01:12:31,726 --> 01:12:34,660
And the Gs are enormous.

1547
01:12:34,660 --> 01:12:36,110
Oh, God.

1548
01:12:36,110 --> 01:12:38,802
And then, bom!

1549
01:12:38,802 --> 01:12:40,804
Weightlessness.

1550
01:12:40,804 --> 01:12:43,773
- God. [gasps]
- Weightlessness.

1551
01:12:43,773 --> 01:12:45,533
Oh, Jesus.

1552
01:12:45,533 --> 01:12:49,399
During the heyday
of the "Star Trek" I was on,

1553
01:12:49,399 --> 01:12:52,298
there was the activity
to get to the moon.

1554
01:12:52,298 --> 01:12:56,475
So they invited me
to come to Kennedy.

1555
01:12:56,475 --> 01:12:58,684
And I came to Kennedy.

1556
01:12:58,684 --> 01:13:01,377
And at that point,
"Star Trek" was-

1557
01:13:01,377 --> 01:13:03,344
my "Star Trek" was on the air.

1558
01:13:03,344 --> 01:13:04,552
And I got there,

1559
01:13:04,552 --> 01:13:06,347
and they literally rolled out
the red carpet

1560
01:13:06,347 --> 01:13:09,557
and took me
into this giant space

1561
01:13:09,557 --> 01:13:11,939
where they assembled
the rockets.

1562
01:13:11,939 --> 01:13:15,149
Now, I don't know,
two years later,

1563
01:13:15,149 --> 01:13:17,220
Star Trek has been canceled.

1564
01:13:17,220 --> 01:13:19,498
I've been divorced.

1565
01:13:19,498 --> 01:13:21,949
I'm broke.
I'm-

1566
01:13:21,949 --> 01:13:23,537
That word is really weird,
isn't it?

1567
01:13:23,537 --> 01:13:24,538
"I'm broke."

1568
01:13:24,538 --> 01:13:26,125
No, I'm not broken.

1569
01:13:26,125 --> 01:13:27,575
I don't have any money.

1570
01:13:27,575 --> 01:13:29,577
I was in a pasture.

1571
01:13:29,577 --> 01:13:33,857
In order to save motel
expenses and eating expenses,

1572
01:13:33,857 --> 01:13:38,034
I had bought a wrecked truck.

1573
01:13:38,034 --> 01:13:41,106
And I'm lying on the bed

1574
01:13:41,106 --> 01:13:43,729
in that little cab,

1575
01:13:43,729 --> 01:13:48,113
and I've got a 4-inch
black-and-white television set

1576
01:13:48,113 --> 01:13:49,735
on my chest.

1577
01:13:51,219 --> 01:13:53,843
And I'm looking through
the window at the moon.

1578
01:13:53,843 --> 01:13:56,535
It was a clear night
that night.

1579
01:13:56,535 --> 01:13:59,780
And I'm looking
at Armstrong...

1580
01:13:59,780 --> 01:14:02,230
stepping down from the...

1581
01:14:02,230 --> 01:14:05,268
I'm at my nadir.

1582
01:14:05,786 --> 01:14:09,375
I have no money.
I'm living like a bum.

1583
01:14:09,375 --> 01:14:10,756
I've got my dog.

1584
01:14:10,756 --> 01:14:12,206
I mean, at one point,

1585
01:14:12,206 --> 01:14:15,589
I couldn't cash a $15 check
after "Star Trek."

1586
01:14:15,589 --> 01:14:17,729
One giant leap for mankind.

1587
01:14:20,317 --> 01:14:23,148
And I'm looking at the...

1588
01:14:23,148 --> 01:14:25,909
incredible feat...

1589
01:14:25,909 --> 01:14:27,566
F-E-A-T,

1590
01:14:27,566 --> 01:14:29,637
and his feet, F-E-E-T,

1591
01:14:29,637 --> 01:14:34,124
as he placed it
for one small step for man,

1592
01:14:34,124 --> 01:14:35,919
one giant step for mankind.

1593
01:14:35,919 --> 01:14:38,543
I hear him say those things,
and I'm thinking,

1594
01:14:38,543 --> 01:14:40,993
my God, that's fantastic.

1595
01:14:40,993 --> 01:14:44,100
And only a short while ago,
I was a part of it.

1596
01:14:44,100 --> 01:14:45,584
I mean, they used to say

1597
01:14:45,584 --> 01:14:47,517
that when the "Star Trek's"
ratings went up,

1598
01:14:47,517 --> 01:14:49,933
the government
voted more money.

1599
01:14:49,933 --> 01:14:52,488
It was like
a self-energizing loop.

1600
01:14:52,488 --> 01:14:55,732
And so I was a teeny, teeny,

1601
01:14:55,732 --> 01:14:58,321
infinitesimally small part

1602
01:14:58,321 --> 01:15:00,392
of him landing on the moon.

1603
01:15:00,392 --> 01:15:02,221
And I'm here, and he's there.

1604
01:15:02,221 --> 01:15:06,916
And as I went to sleep,
I thought of the irony of it.

1605
01:15:06,916 --> 01:15:09,781
I subsequently recovered,

1606
01:15:09,781 --> 01:15:12,162
but that was a moment.

1607
01:15:13,957 --> 01:15:15,718
There I was

1608
01:15:15,718 --> 01:15:20,757
in a giant lifetime
coincidence...

1609
01:15:20,757 --> 01:15:23,104
of symmetry...

1610
01:15:23,104 --> 01:15:25,590
of chance.

1611
01:15:25,590 --> 01:15:27,212
Yeah.

1612
01:15:29,525 --> 01:15:32,113
I had seen...

1613
01:15:32,113 --> 01:15:34,944
footage of the interior

1614
01:15:34,944 --> 01:15:39,362
of the "Blue Origin" spaceship
on the first trip,

1615
01:15:39,362 --> 01:15:43,331
which had Jeff Bezos,
his brother, some young kid,

1616
01:15:43,331 --> 01:15:46,162
and this older astronaut.

1617
01:15:46,162 --> 01:15:48,785
And when I saw the footage,
I was like, my God.

1618
01:15:48,785 --> 01:15:50,546
I mean, that's fun.
That's funny.

1619
01:15:50,546 --> 01:15:52,409
To tell it, it's funny.

1620
01:15:52,409 --> 01:15:54,515
But is that
what you want to do

1621
01:15:54,515 --> 01:15:57,553
in the three minutes
you have in space?

1622
01:15:59,209 --> 01:16:01,384
Once beyond gravity,

1623
01:16:01,384 --> 01:16:03,179
we unlocked the key

1624
01:16:03,179 --> 01:16:04,352
and set ourselves free,

1625
01:16:04,352 --> 01:16:06,078
floating around the inside.

1626
01:16:06,078 --> 01:16:10,151
While some tumbled and danced
in that weightless trance,

1627
01:16:10,151 --> 01:16:13,154
I had to take my chance
to the window

1628
01:16:13,154 --> 01:16:14,535
to witness the ride.

1629
01:16:14,535 --> 01:16:16,779
I needed to see
what was out there

1630
01:16:16,779 --> 01:16:20,645
for me, in the endless sea,
to meet my fate,

1631
01:16:20,645 --> 01:16:24,476
I could never anticipate
what I saw.

1632
01:16:24,476 --> 01:16:28,100
Filled me with awe.

1633
01:16:28,100 --> 01:16:30,793
But also something cold
and pitiless and raw-

1634
01:16:30,793 --> 01:16:34,175
an instinct to withdraw,
a hot coal to be dropped.

1635
01:16:35,798 --> 01:16:39,595
Relentless blackness

1636
01:16:39,595 --> 01:16:41,562
was all I could see,

1637
01:16:41,562 --> 01:16:45,808
like a depthless eternity,

1638
01:16:45,808 --> 01:16:48,949
a benevolent mystery
that could never be stopped.

1639
01:16:49,812 --> 01:16:53,022
Endless darkness.

1640
01:16:53,022 --> 01:16:56,404
No twinkling stars, no magic
lights that call from afar,

1641
01:16:56,404 --> 01:16:58,372
no breathable air,
nothing to care,

1642
01:16:58,372 --> 01:17:01,375
no message to send,
no beginnings or ends,

1643
01:17:01,375 --> 01:17:04,102
no life could sustain,
no dreams could remain,

1644
01:17:04,102 --> 01:17:07,761
nearly drove me insane,
and I felt a deep pain.

1645
01:17:07,761 --> 01:17:11,799
What I saw stopped me cold,

1646
01:17:11,799 --> 01:17:14,353
collapsed all my breath.

1647
01:17:14,353 --> 01:17:18,150
All I could see...

1648
01:17:18,150 --> 01:17:20,601
was death.

1649
01:17:20,601 --> 01:17:21,913
I thought, my God,

1650
01:17:21,913 --> 01:17:25,295
that's probably the darkness
you see when you die.

1651
01:17:25,295 --> 01:17:27,194
Boom.
There's no light.

1652
01:17:27,194 --> 01:17:29,610
It's all over.

1653
01:17:29,610 --> 01:17:31,923
And then I referred
back to Earth.

1654
01:17:33,338 --> 01:17:36,824
And I saw the white clouds.

1655
01:17:36,824 --> 01:17:40,483
I saw the beige of the...

1656
01:17:40,483 --> 01:17:42,140
Texas desert.

1657
01:17:42,140 --> 01:17:44,832
I saw all of it filtered
through the blue air,

1658
01:17:44,832 --> 01:17:47,559
the refraction of sunlight

1659
01:17:47,559 --> 01:17:50,735
through the water vapor
in the air.

1660
01:17:51,321 --> 01:17:54,842
And I saw the curvature
of the Earth.

1661
01:17:54,842 --> 01:17:57,742
I could delineate the Earth.

1662
01:17:57,742 --> 01:18:00,676
It is this little, tiny thing.

1663
01:18:02,298 --> 01:18:04,818
We're a moat of dust
in the universe.

1664
01:18:04,818 --> 01:18:08,338
We are living on debris
from the solar system.

1665
01:18:09,754 --> 01:18:14,310
Our brains aren't made
to encompass

1666
01:18:14,310 --> 01:18:17,658
the vastness of the things
we're talking about.

1667
01:18:17,658 --> 01:18:19,798
I stumbled and said,
I can't believe it.

1668
01:18:19,798 --> 01:18:23,629
But we can't imagine
what it is.

1669
01:18:23,629 --> 01:18:26,563
Einstein said,
it's a spooky place.

1670
01:18:26,563 --> 01:18:28,807
And it's a spooky place.

1671
01:18:28,807 --> 01:18:33,156
And I realized that
little tiny rock...

1672
01:18:33,156 --> 01:18:35,365
is all we have to live on.

1673
01:18:37,713 --> 01:18:40,819
So we land,
and I go to get off,

1674
01:18:40,819 --> 01:18:41,889
and I suddenly feel myself

1675
01:18:42,648 --> 01:18:46,135
crying uncontrollably.

1676
01:18:46,376 --> 01:18:48,965
What you have given me

1677
01:18:48,965 --> 01:18:53,970
is the most profound
experience I can have.

1678
01:18:53,970 --> 01:18:57,802
I'm so filled with emotion

1679
01:18:57,802 --> 01:19:00,563
about what just happened,
I just-

1680
01:19:00,563 --> 01:19:03,186
It's extraordinary, extraordinary.

1681
01:19:03,186 --> 01:19:04,740
What the heck?

1682
01:19:04,740 --> 01:19:10,504
What am I crying about?

1683
01:19:10,953 --> 01:19:13,921
I did an interview with a guy
the day before yesterday,

1684
01:19:13,921 --> 01:19:15,543
a well-known interviewer.

1685
01:19:16,821 --> 01:19:19,996
He said, I don't believe
in global warming.

1686
01:19:19,996 --> 01:19:22,136
What do you mean you don't
believe in global warming?

1687
01:19:22,136 --> 01:19:24,414
Do you believe in a
red light saying-

1688
01:19:24,414 --> 01:19:25,450
stopping you?

1689
01:19:25,450 --> 01:19:26,865
Or do you say, that's-

1690
01:19:26,865 --> 01:19:28,073
I know it's a red light,
but I don't believe in it,

1691
01:19:28,073 --> 01:19:29,247
and you go right through?

1692
01:19:29,247 --> 01:19:31,007
I mean, what do you mean
you don't believe in-

1693
01:19:31,007 --> 01:19:32,698
it's, like, insane.

1694
01:19:32,698 --> 01:19:33,907
Frankly, I hope
this planet survives.

1695
01:19:33,907 --> 01:19:35,253
I really do.

1696
01:19:35,253 --> 01:19:37,324
But I am getting
sick of you smug,

1697
01:19:37,324 --> 01:19:40,396
hybrid-driving socialists
telling the rest of us

1698
01:19:40,396 --> 01:19:41,224
how to live our lives.

1699
01:19:41,224 --> 01:19:42,985
I'm rich, okay?

1700
01:19:42,985 --> 01:19:44,400
I like to guzzle a
little gas now and then.

1701
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:47,161
I keep my thermostat at
72 during the winter.

1702
01:19:47,161 --> 01:19:50,958
And I prefer night games
in football.

1703
01:19:50,958 --> 01:19:53,512
And I am fed up with you
global warming wusses

1704
01:19:53,512 --> 01:19:55,756
raining on my electric parade!

1705
01:19:55,756 --> 01:19:57,482
[down-tempo music]

1706
01:19:57,482 --> 01:19:59,553
Earth is our home.

1707
01:20:01,210 --> 01:20:03,729
Space has no people,
passion, or love.

1708
01:20:03,729 --> 01:20:06,629
An endless question
hangs from above

1709
01:20:06,629 --> 01:20:08,389
we know almost nothing of.

1710
01:20:08,389 --> 01:20:11,599
We are... approaching...

1711
01:20:13,670 --> 01:20:15,293
A very, to put it mildly,

1712
01:20:15,293 --> 01:20:18,814
a very tough time for the
people who come after us.

1713
01:20:18,814 --> 01:20:23,404
And we've got our heads
in the sand, mostly.

1714
01:20:23,404 --> 01:20:26,338
It's total denial
on a global scale.

1715
01:20:26,338 --> 01:20:32,655
Because what is reality
is so painful that it-

1716
01:20:32,655 --> 01:20:33,621
you'd better not face it.

1717
01:20:35,244 --> 01:20:38,834
Lieutenant, how
would you handle this?

1718
01:20:38,834 --> 01:20:40,939
We could try
ignoring it, sir.

1719
01:20:40,939 --> 01:20:43,148
I see.

1720
01:20:43,148 --> 01:20:44,322
Pretend nothing has happened
and hope everything turns

1721
01:20:44,322 --> 01:20:46,151
out all right in the morning.

1722
01:20:46,151 --> 01:20:47,118
Just a thought, sir.

1723
01:20:47,118 --> 01:20:48,429
I've considered that.

1724
01:20:48,429 --> 01:20:50,846
There's got to be
a better angle.

1725
01:20:51,053 --> 01:20:53,607
I heard an author
some years ago say,

1726
01:20:53,607 --> 01:20:55,264
well, it doesn't bother
me because I'm out of here

1727
01:20:55,264 --> 01:20:56,368
very soon.

1728
01:20:56,368 --> 01:20:59,164
But what about your
loved ones?

1729
01:20:59,164 --> 01:21:00,648
What are you going
to do about that?

1730
01:21:00,648 --> 01:21:02,650
That's-really bothers me.

1731
01:21:03,824 --> 01:21:05,861
I can understand
the violence of a storm.

1732
01:21:05,861 --> 01:21:08,208
It's a natural thing not
meant to harm anyone.

1733
01:21:10,141 --> 01:21:12,074
But the violence of men,

1734
01:21:12,074 --> 01:21:14,593
that cruelty and
savageness to one another,

1735
01:21:14,593 --> 01:21:16,664
to themselves-

1736
01:21:16,664 --> 01:21:20,323
And I thought of all
those things as I came down.

1737
01:21:20,323 --> 01:21:22,153
And I was-

1738
01:21:22,153 --> 01:21:26,743
I realize now it took me hours
to come to the conclusion,

1739
01:21:26,743 --> 01:21:29,436
I was in grief for the Earth.

1740
01:21:29,746 --> 01:21:33,164
I hope I never recover
from what I discovered.

1741
01:21:33,164 --> 01:21:38,479
Like a long-lost lover, I had
left to neglect mountains,

1742
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:40,930
trees, birds, beasts.

1743
01:21:40,930 --> 01:21:43,553
Life-giving water,
magnificent feasts.

1744
01:21:43,553 --> 01:21:45,417
North, South, West, East.

1745
01:21:45,417 --> 01:21:49,076
All human reactions,
from terror to fun.

1746
01:21:49,076 --> 01:21:51,941
All that breathes,
swims, flies, or runs.

1747
01:21:51,941 --> 01:21:54,737
Literally everything
under the sun!

1748
01:21:54,737 --> 01:21:57,188
We all have our loves.

1749
01:21:57,188 --> 01:22:00,812
And what a miracle
that is on this planet.

1750
01:22:00,812 --> 01:22:02,469
Snails, lions, sand-

1751
01:22:02,469 --> 01:22:03,642
You know?

1752
01:22:03,642 --> 01:22:06,542
And everything loves.

1753
01:22:06,542 --> 01:22:07,888
Every living thing loves.

1754
01:22:07,888 --> 01:22:09,407
...touching the skies.

1755
01:22:09,407 --> 01:22:13,894
The percentages of the
degradation of wildlife

1756
01:22:13,894 --> 01:22:16,759
on Earth is enormous.

1757
01:22:16,759 --> 01:22:18,381
We don't realize it,
but it's like-

1758
01:22:18,381 --> 01:22:21,108
it's like having termites,
you know?

1759
01:22:21,108 --> 01:22:22,834
I'm dancing on the floor,
and one day,

1760
01:22:22,834 --> 01:22:23,904
you fall through the floor.

1761
01:22:23,904 --> 01:22:25,526
How did that happen?

1762
01:22:25,526 --> 01:22:27,770
It's all there-
it's all being eaten away.

1763
01:22:27,770 --> 01:22:28,736
It's all so fragile.

1764
01:22:28,736 --> 01:22:30,083
[piano music]

1765
01:22:30,083 --> 01:22:31,532
What can we do?

1766
01:22:32,568 --> 01:22:34,259
What can we do?

1767
01:22:35,398 --> 01:22:37,745
[whispering] It's so fragile.

1768
01:22:38,436 --> 01:22:40,748
So blue.

1769
01:22:40,748 --> 01:22:44,131
What can we do?

1770
01:22:44,131 --> 01:22:47,755
[down-tempo music]

1771
01:22:51,552 --> 01:22:56,730
[piano music]

1772
01:22:58,421 --> 01:23:03,254
When my time has come,
don't put me in a box.

1773
01:23:04,703 --> 01:23:06,740
And skip the fancy shiva.

1774
01:23:06,740 --> 01:23:10,054
No platters of bagels and lox.

1775
01:23:11,987 --> 01:23:14,748
Lay down that spike
and chisel.

1776
01:23:14,748 --> 01:23:18,407
No headstone will I need.

1777
01:23:19,822 --> 01:23:23,446
Yeah, when I die,
my wish is clear.

1778
01:23:23,446 --> 01:23:26,070
Just plant me like a seed.

1779
01:23:26,898 --> 01:23:28,727
[piano music]

1780
01:23:28,727 --> 01:23:31,799
'Cause I want to be a tree.

1781
01:23:33,456 --> 01:23:37,702
Yeah, I want to be a tree
with plenty of leaves

1782
01:23:37,702 --> 01:23:40,291
and bark to spare.

1783
01:23:40,291 --> 01:23:41,637
For everyone to see.

1784
01:23:41,637 --> 01:23:44,778
I want to be a tree.

1785
01:23:44,778 --> 01:23:47,091
Yeah, I want to be a tree.

1786
01:23:47,091 --> 01:23:50,646
You can sit right
down under my shade.

1787
01:23:50,646 --> 01:23:52,820
That'll be enough for me.

1788
01:23:54,615 --> 01:24:00,690
How much of our lives are
spent not doing anything?

1789
01:24:01,588 --> 01:24:02,416
You know?

1790
01:24:02,416 --> 01:24:05,316
You're in a waiting room
of your life

1791
01:24:05,316 --> 01:24:07,939
waiting for something that
you hope will happen,

1792
01:24:07,939 --> 01:24:09,699
that you try to make
happen, that you

1793
01:24:09,699 --> 01:24:12,047
think is going to happen,
and you wait.

1794
01:24:12,047 --> 01:24:16,120
So making-
the fullness of your life

1795
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,708
is really fraught
with a lot of waiting.

1796
01:24:18,708 --> 01:24:23,472
A full life is a life
that's lived with awareness.

1797
01:24:23,472 --> 01:24:27,855
You see,
I read it and it's true.

1798
01:24:29,719 --> 01:24:35,760
Make a pod from my remains
and stick me in the ground

1799
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:38,349
and pray for sun and rain.

1800
01:24:38,349 --> 01:24:43,008
The richness from my body
will supercharge the Earth.

1801
01:24:43,008 --> 01:24:45,080
And like a natural
maternity ward,

1802
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,496
to a sapling I'll give birth.

1803
01:24:47,496 --> 01:24:50,809
[piano music]

1804
01:24:50,809 --> 01:24:52,294
I haven't changed the world.

1805
01:24:52,294 --> 01:24:56,919
I mean, if you talk about
fame, my heroes of the screen

1806
01:24:56,919 --> 01:24:58,990
have now been dead
for many years.

1807
01:24:58,990 --> 01:25:00,405
Of course,
they were great artists.

1808
01:25:00,405 --> 01:25:02,166
But they no longer are.

1809
01:25:02,166 --> 01:25:03,581
They're gone.

1810
01:25:03,581 --> 01:25:06,480
The nitrate
on the film is oxidized.

1811
01:25:06,480 --> 01:25:08,931
The billboards are burned.

1812
01:25:08,931 --> 01:25:11,209
The statues are torn down.

1813
01:25:13,418 --> 01:25:15,834
But what does remain,

1814
01:25:15,834 --> 01:25:18,665
what is a legacy,

1815
01:25:18,665 --> 01:25:20,356
are the good deeds.

1816
01:25:22,876 --> 01:25:25,292
[piano music]

1817
01:25:25,292 --> 01:25:30,297
Yeah, I want to be a tree.

1818
01:25:30,297 --> 01:25:33,404
You can sit right
down under my shade.

1819
01:25:33,404 --> 01:25:35,440
That'll be enough for me.

1820
01:25:35,440 --> 01:25:37,684
And helping an old
lady across the street,

1821
01:25:37,684 --> 01:25:42,516
that deed reverberates
like the butterfly wings

1822
01:25:42,516 --> 01:25:47,418
which disturbs the air
and changes fate.

1823
01:25:47,418 --> 01:25:51,870
You've just changed somebody's
or something's fate

1824
01:25:51,870 --> 01:25:53,424
by your contribution,

1825
01:25:53,424 --> 01:25:57,117
and that will be- that
will stand the test of time.

1826
01:25:57,117 --> 01:25:59,568
Everything else, you, me,
everything,

1827
01:25:59,568 --> 01:26:01,570
fades into oblivion
very quickly.

1828
01:26:01,570 --> 01:26:05,263
But that good deed
reverberates.

1829
01:26:05,263 --> 01:26:06,816
And I feel that.

1830
01:26:06,816 --> 01:26:09,474
If humankind were to
disappear tomorrow,

1831
01:26:09,474 --> 01:26:11,821
the world would come
back very quickly.

1832
01:26:11,821 --> 01:26:13,409
The trees would grow back.

1833
01:26:13,409 --> 01:26:15,618
The lungs of the Earth
would come back.

1834
01:26:15,618 --> 01:26:17,379
[piano music]

1835
01:26:17,379 --> 01:26:22,211
So don't stick me in an urn
for some relative to keep.

1836
01:26:22,211 --> 01:26:24,938
And please,
don't throw me overboard

1837
01:26:24,938 --> 01:26:26,767
to the bottom of the deep.

1838
01:26:26,767 --> 01:26:28,252
No 21-gun salute.

1839
01:26:28,252 --> 01:26:30,357
So just put those guns to bed.

1840
01:26:30,357 --> 01:26:32,325
I've got a much
more peaceful wish.

1841
01:26:32,325 --> 01:26:35,983
Bring the garden tools
instead!

1842
01:26:42,093 --> 01:26:45,338
And so I have
made arrangements

1843
01:26:45,338 --> 01:26:47,167
that my body will be cremated.

1844
01:26:47,167 --> 01:26:50,032
I'll be put in a bag
as an open sack.

1845
01:26:50,032 --> 01:26:52,828
A tree, a Redwood-

1846
01:26:52,828 --> 01:26:57,798
I wanted a Sequoia, but a
Redwood will be placed on-

1847
01:26:57,798 --> 01:26:59,490
over the bag.

1848
01:26:59,490 --> 01:27:01,768
The bag will nourish the tree.

1849
01:27:01,768 --> 01:27:03,287
[piano music]

1850
01:27:03,287 --> 01:27:07,532
I have this kind
of raw land where

1851
01:27:07,532 --> 01:27:09,224
I know where I want to do it.

1852
01:27:09,224 --> 01:27:11,674
[birds chirping]

1853
01:27:11,674 --> 01:27:16,403
The idea of still
being part of nature,

1854
01:27:16,403 --> 01:27:20,165
and flowering and there
and the tree grows,

1855
01:27:20,165 --> 01:27:22,202
and we know the
tree communicates-

1856
01:27:22,202 --> 01:27:26,068
and there's such a
mystique about trees,

1857
01:27:26,068 --> 01:27:28,415
and these wonderful,
large trees

1858
01:27:28,415 --> 01:27:32,005
that live for 1,000,
5,000 years.

1859
01:27:32,005 --> 01:27:37,700
There's a windswept Cypress
on the edge of a cliff

1860
01:27:37,700 --> 01:27:41,670
in Western California
on the coast.

1861
01:27:42,912 --> 01:27:44,259
The Lone Cypress.

1862
01:27:44,259 --> 01:27:47,572
And it's like an old,
gnarled grandfather.

1863
01:27:47,572 --> 01:27:50,575
It's, I'm here, and
I'm going to stay here!

1864
01:27:52,301 --> 01:27:54,234
What a thing.

1865
01:27:54,234 --> 01:27:56,581
What a thing to look at.

1866
01:27:56,581 --> 01:28:01,206
And those Sequoias, they're
1,000, 1,500 years old.

1867
01:28:01,206 --> 01:28:05,038
And they've lived
all that time,

1868
01:28:05,038 --> 01:28:07,730
enduring everything
that nature threw at them.

1869
01:28:09,422 --> 01:28:14,944
And fires of this year
killed Sequoia trees.

1870
01:28:14,944 --> 01:28:18,914
Where they are built
to survive any fire

1871
01:28:18,914 --> 01:28:20,778
because of their bark,

1872
01:28:20,778 --> 01:28:25,921
these fires were so bad that
Sequoias died as a result.

1873
01:28:25,921 --> 01:28:28,751
That's how bad it is.

1874
01:28:28,751 --> 01:28:30,650
[piano music]

1875
01:28:30,650 --> 01:28:35,482
Yeah, I want to be a tree
with plenty of leaves

1876
01:28:35,482 --> 01:28:39,037
and bark to spare,
for everyone to see.

1877
01:28:39,037 --> 01:28:41,212
Yes, I want to be a tree.

1878
01:28:42,178 --> 01:28:47,218
I want to be a tree standing,
swaying, firm and tall.

1879
01:28:47,218 --> 01:28:49,876
Glorious and free.

1880
01:28:49,876 --> 01:28:51,602
I want to be a tree.

1881
01:28:51,843 --> 01:28:53,224
Can you imagine?

1882
01:28:53,224 --> 01:28:55,675
So you think,
what's your legacy?

1883
01:28:55,675 --> 01:28:57,193
What are you leaving behind?

1884
01:28:57,193 --> 01:28:58,263
Good deeds?

1885
01:28:58,263 --> 01:28:59,472
Also a tree.

1886
01:28:59,472 --> 01:29:00,921
But that one's for you.

1887
01:29:00,921 --> 01:29:04,822
[laughs] You can
sit under the shade.

1888
01:29:04,822 --> 01:29:06,789
And that'll be enough for me.

1890
01:29:09,482 --> 01:29:11,484

[mellow music]

1896
01:30:10,612 --> 01:30:12,752
I have saved the world
in the movies.

1897
01:30:14,926 --> 01:30:17,688
So naturally,
there's folks who think

1898
01:30:17,688 --> 01:30:19,517
I must know what to do.

1899
01:30:21,277 --> 01:30:25,109
And just because you've
seen me on your TV...

1900
01:30:27,076 --> 01:30:30,839
doesn't mean I'm any more
enlightened than you.

And I wish I knew

01:30:45,370 --> 01:30:48,373
the things you think I do

1907
01:30:48,373 --> 01:30:51,169
I would change this world

1908
01:30:51,169 --> 01:30:52,792
for sure.

1909
01:30:54,414 --> 01:30:58,245
But I eat and sleep and
breathe and bleed and feel.

01:31:00,316 --> 01:31:02,664
Sorry to disappoint you

1911
01:31:02,664 --> 01:31:04,562

01:31:08,601 --> 01:31:10,603
I'd love to help the world

and all its problems.

1915
01:31:13,364 --> 01:31:15,470
But I'm an entertainer

1916

and that's all.

So the next time
there's an asteroid

1919

or a natural disaster,

1920
01:31:26,135 --> 01:31:28,621
I'm flattered
that you thought of me,

1921
01:31:28,621 --> 01:31:30,519
