9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(music)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What prompted you to come see me?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
INTERVIEWERS: Great question.[br]We would ask you that!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
INTERVIEWERS: Yeah.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How so? What do you mean?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(laughter)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I didn't invite you. What would I[br]want you in my house for?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
INTERVIEWERS: We were going to ask you,[br]'Why are we here?'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have no idea. Get out!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I came to Hollywood in '61. We[br]found an apartment on an estate in the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Hollywood Hills, and rented it. The second[br]night we're there, we hear a rustling outside.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So she went, peeked through the blinds[br]of the window, and there was a large avocado

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
tree growing right up next to the[br]apartment, and she beckoned me over.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I looked down, and there were two raccoons,[br]sitting on their back, chewing on avocados.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I said, 'This is for me.'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(laughter)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've been chewing on avocados[br]ever since I got here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
INTERVIEWERS: Are you still involved with showbiz[br]now? Are you doing anything behind the scenes, or-?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Would you like a kiss?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(laughter)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yeah, I'm still involved in showbusiness.[br]I tour with a one-man show.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I do movies if you're making them,[br]and I'm quite viable...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in every sense of the word.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(laughter)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have four children, and the youngest,[br]who's now 27, was deemed autistic

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
at 7 or 8, which is late. He's a[br]high-functioning autistic.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My lady at the time often said that she[br]doesn't think he's got autism,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she thinks he has asthmarism.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(laughter)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There was a time when he was riding[br]with me as a kid,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I already had some fame, and a cop[br]pulled me over.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I did a wrong turn or something,[br]and a cop pulled me over.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And as the cop came up to the window to[br]write the ticket, Charlie leaned over towards

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the window and he said, 'Do you know who[br]you're talking to?'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I went SHHHHHH

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And that's one of the main efforts we[br]have. To get law enforcement to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
understand there are these types of[br]people, that they cannot exercise ordinary

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
tough cop bullshit. They've got to assess[br]the situation and respond accordingly.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've often said that the world would be a[br]happier place if it was run by autistics.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And it may well be.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
INTERVIEWERS: So you've had an incredible[br]career, anything that you've done-

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Only the beginning of it. I'm not heralded[br]in every hallway in the world.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I still have to be discovered by a lot of[br]people.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
INTERVIEWERS: Have you ever done standup?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No. I can't even do good sit down.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(laughter)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm with ABILITY Magazine (burps),[br]lots of sexy picture of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Mary without anything like me around her.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(laughter)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Okay, enough?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
INTERVIEWERS: That's it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How long you gonna fuss around?
