Robin Williams was invited
to meet Koko the gorilla

00:00:12.796 --> 00:00:15.328

00:00:15.328 --> 00:00:20.619
Turns out they had a lot to discuss...

00:00:26.244 --> 00:00:30.178
<i>(Robin Williams)</i>
<i>Hi, this is Robin Williams.</i>

00:00:30.178 --> 00:00:32.618
<i>I recently had a mind-altering experience</i>

00:00:32.618 --> 00:00:35.057
<i>communicating with a gorilla.</i>

00:00:35.057 --> 00:00:37.039
<i>Her name is Koko.</i>

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.858
<i>We shared something</i>
<i>extraordinary: laughter.</i>

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>

00:00:48.369 --> 00:00:52.694
<i>life, love, even death.</i>

00:00:52.694 --> 00:00:55.665
<i>It was awesome and unforgettable.</i>

00:00:55.665 --> 00:00:57.648
(woman) She's going to adopt you.

00:00:57.648 --> 00:00:58.928
(laughs)

00:01:18.373 --> 00:01:20.986
She had my sunglasses on, turned away.

00:01:20.986 --> 00:01:22.872
And then she looked out
the window, and she looked great.

00:01:22.872 --> 00:01:24.268
They actually looked very nice.

00:01:26.868 --> 00:01:28.724
She turned out the window
and was just like...

00:01:35.893 --> 00:01:38.155
Koko signs: <i>"You...chase."</i>

00:01:38.155 --> 00:01:41.026
(woman) Okay, where
should you guys all go?

00:01:41.026 --> 00:01:43.869
Into the kitchen or in...

00:01:43.869 --> 00:01:46.265
Koko signs: <i>"Tickle... Tickle."</i>

00:01:46.265 --> 00:01:47.936
She wants you to tickle her.

00:01:47.936 --> 00:01:50.101
Yep. That would be good, or in the thighs.

00:01:50.101 --> 00:01:53.274
Mm-hmm. She likes that.

00:01:53.274 --> 00:01:57.152
Tickle. Oh, yeah.

00:02:00.951 --> 00:02:03.450
Koko signs: <i>"You...tickle."</i>

00:02:03.450 --> 00:02:05.444
You tickle.

00:02:33.826 --> 00:02:36.574
Now, you don't pinch.

00:02:36.574 --> 00:02:37.784
Sweetheart.

00:02:39.154 --> 00:02:42.335
(laughter)

00:02:45.843 --> 00:02:48.940
Picking pockets.

00:02:48.940 --> 00:02:51.887
She's picking your pocket.

00:02:54.117 --> 00:02:56.100
Sweetie... [inaudible]

00:02:58.361 --> 00:03:00.654
Just to make sure he's
the real Robin Williams...

00:03:00.654 --> 00:03:03.153
(laughter)

00:03:03.153 --> 00:03:05.871
- ...Koko checks his I.D.
- <i>(woman) She's got a handful of business cards.</i>

00:03:05.871 --> 00:03:08.516
Koko signs: <i>"Tickle."</i>

00:03:09.885 --> 00:03:12.319
Koko signs: <i>"Tickle... Tickle."</i>

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:13.735
She just watched your movie.

00:03:13.735 --> 00:03:16.522
Maybe she knows your face.

00:03:16.522 --> 00:03:18.862
And that's it. Do you remember this?

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:23.864
(laughs)

00:03:23.864 --> 00:03:26.144
Yep. It smells like
the same Robin Williams.

00:03:28.559 --> 00:03:29.996
That's him.

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.401
Mm-hmm. That's right.

00:03:35.677 --> 00:03:38.603
And I think she remembers
you from the video.

00:03:38.603 --> 00:03:39.902
(Robin) Maybe, yeah, 'cause she saw.

00:03:39.902 --> 00:03:41.109
Yeah, she saw that.

00:03:41.109 --> 00:03:43.618
<i>It was fun. She was having a good time.</i>

00:03:46.494 --> 00:03:48.477
(woman) Oh, she wants a drink.
You want your drink now?

00:03:48.477 --> 00:03:53.204
Koko sings: <i>"Good...Drink."</i>

00:03:57.619 --> 00:04:00.421
Koko signs: <i>"Good."</i>

00:04:03.374 --> 00:04:05.324
Koko signs: <i>"Good."</i>

00:04:08.385 --> 00:04:10.573
<i>(Robin) She was fun. It was a blast.</i>

00:04:15.033 --> 00:04:16.539
Koko Love.
