to meet Koko the gorilla

3
00:00:12,796 --> 00:00:15,328
who is fluent in American Sign Language.

4
00:00:15,328 --> 00:00:20,619
Turns out they had a lot to discuss...

5
00:00:20,619 --> 00:00:26,244
Koko Makes a New Friend

6
00:00:26,244 --> 00:00:30,178
<i>(Robin Williams)</i>
<i>Hi, this is Robin Williams.</i>

7
00:00:30,178 --> 00:00:32,618
<i>I recently had a mind-altering experience</i>

8
00:00:32,618 --> 00:00:35,057
<i>communicating with a gorilla.</i>

9
00:00:35,057 --> 00:00:37,039
<i>Her name is Koko.</i>

10
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:41,858
<i>We shared something</i>
<i>extraordinary: laughter.</i>

11
00:00:41,858 --> 00:00:45,136
<i>Koko understands spoken English</i>

00:00:45,136 --> 00:00:48,369
<i>to share her feelings and</i>
<i>thoughts about daily events,</i>

13
00:00:48,369 --> 00:00:52,694

14
00:00:52,694 --> 00:00:55,665
<i>It was awesome and unforgettable.</i>

15
00:00:55,665 --> 00:00:57,648
(woman) She's going to adopt you.

16
00:00:57,648 --> 00:00:58,928
(laughs)

17
00:01:18,373 --> 00:01:20,986
She had my sunglasses on, turned away.

18
00:01:20,986 --> 00:01:22,872
And then she looked out
the window, and she looked great.

19
00:01:22,872 --> 00:01:24,268
They actually looked very nice.

20
00:01:26,868 --> 00:01:28,724
She turned out the window
and was just like...

21
00:01:35,893 --> 00:01:38,155
Koko signs: <i>"You...chase."</i>

22
00:01:38,155 --> 00:01:41,026
(woman) Okay, where
should you guys all go?

23
00:01:41,026 --> 00:01:43,869
Into the kitchen or in...

24
00:01:43,869 --> 00:01:46,265
Koko signs: <i>"Tickle... Tickle."</i>

25
00:01:46,265 --> 00:01:47,936
She wants you to tickle her.

26
00:01:47,936 --> 00:01:50,101
Yep. That would be good, or in the thighs.

27
00:01:50,101 --> 00:01:53,274
Mm-hmm. She likes that.

28
00:01:53,274 --> 00:01:57,152
Tickle. Oh, yeah.

29
00:02:00,951 --> 00:02:03,450
Koko signs: <i>"You...tickle."</i>

30
00:02:03,450 --> 00:02:05,444
You tickle.

31
00:02:33,826 --> 00:02:36,574
Now, you don't pinch.

32
00:02:36,574 --> 00:02:37,784
Sweetheart.

33
00:02:39,154 --> 00:02:42,335
(laughter)

34
00:02:45,843 --> 00:02:48,940
Picking pockets.

35
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:51,887
She's picking your pocket.

36
00:02:54,117 --> 00:02:56,100
Sweetie... [inaudible]

37
00:02:58,361 --> 00:03:00,654
Just to make sure he's
the real Robin Williams...

38
00:03:00,654 --> 00:03:03,153
(laughter)

39
00:03:03,153 --> 00:03:05,871
- ...Koko checks his I.D.
- <i>(woman) She's got a handful of business cards.</i>

40
00:03:05,871 --> 00:03:08,516
Koko signs: <i>"Tickle."</i>

41
00:03:09,885 --> 00:03:12,319
Koko signs: <i>"Tickle... Tickle."</i>

42
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:13,735
She just watched your movie.

43
00:03:13,735 --> 00:03:16,522
Maybe she knows your face.

44
00:03:16,522 --> 00:03:18,862
And that's it. Do you remember this?

45
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,864
(laughs)

46
00:03:23,864 --> 00:03:26,144
Yep. It smells like
the same Robin Williams.

47
00:03:28,559 --> 00:03:29,996
That's him.

48
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:33,401
Mm-hmm. That's right.

49
00:03:35,677 --> 00:03:38,603
And I think she remembers
you from the video.

50
00:03:38,603 --> 00:03:39,902
(Robin) Maybe, yeah, 'cause she saw.

51
00:03:39,902 --> 00:03:41,109
Yeah, she saw that.

52
00:03:41,109 --> 00:03:43,618
<i>It was fun. She was having a good time.</i>

53
00:03:46,494 --> 00:03:48,477
(woman) Oh, she wants a drink.
You want your drink now?

54
00:03:48,477 --> 00:03:53,204
Koko sings: <i>"Good...Drink."</i>

55
00:03:57,619 --> 00:04:00,421
Koko signs: <i>"Good."</i>

56
00:04:03,374 --> 00:04:05,324
Koko signs: <i>"Good."</i>

57
00:04:08,385 --> 00:04:10,573
<i>(Robin) She was fun. It was a blast.</i>

58
00:04:15,033 --> 00:04:16,539
Koko Love.
