00:15 [LAUGHTER]
00:16 >> Can't wait till I'm dead.
00:18 >> So here's the thing.
00:19 We've been friends for like almost 60 years.

00:30 >> Albert Brooks.
00:31 >> Albert Brooks.
00:32 >> Albert Brooks.
00:33 >> This, this isn't me.
00:34 >> You're the only guy I know who would go on national television with a routine that
00:43 you had never tried out.
00:45 >> I went in the bathroom, I would come up with something and I would go do it.
00:50 >> Not only don't you have any money, but your sister is dead.

01:18 >> And I'm in love with you.
01:19 How do you like that?
01:20 I buried the lead.
01:21 [MUSIC]
01:22 >> I'm in love with you.
01:23 How do you like that?

01:29 >> Stanley Kubrick called me and said, "This is the jealousy movie I've always wanted to
01:32 make."

01:34 Vietnam, this.
01:35 I'm telling you, they're around.
01:37 I think we're in one of them.
01:38 >> Everything he was talking about is what television turned into.
01:41 >> Film the gynecologist.
01:44 >> What you didn't want to happen watching an Albert Brooks movie, you never wanted the

01:55 >> Hi, how'd you die?
01:56 >> On stage like you.
01:57 >> To me, genius is you have the idea and then the courage to execute it.
02:04 I would rather have Albert's career than my career.
02:07 >> I mean, I'm listening to all this and I'm getting a person who's been defending his
02:10 life.
02:11 >> Every goddamn minute.
02:14 My agent said, "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."
02:22 >> Because this, this isn't me.
02:23 It's not the real me.
02:24 This is the real me.
02:25 >> He's the funniest man in the world.
