99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(music)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What prompted you to come see me?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
INTERVIEWERS: Great question.
We would ask you that!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
INTERVIEWERS: Yeah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How so? What do you mean?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I didn't invite you. What would I
want you in my house for?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
INTERVIEWERS: We were going to ask you,
'Why are we here?'

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have no idea. Get out!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I came to Hollywood in '61. We
found an apartment on an estate in the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hollywood Hills, and rented it. The second
night we're there, we hear a rustling outside.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So she went, peeked through the blinds
of the window, and there was a large avocado

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
tree growing right up next to the
apartment, and she beckoned me over.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I looked down, and there were two raccoons,
sitting on their back, chewing on avocados.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I said, 'This is for me.'

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've been chewing on avocados
ever since I got here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
INTERVIEWERS: Are you still involved with showbiz
now? Are you doing anything behind the scenes, or-?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Would you like a kiss?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, I'm still involved in showbusiness.
I tour with a one-man show.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I do movies if you're making them,
and I'm quite viable...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in every sense of the word.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have four children, and the youngest,
who's now 27, was deemed autistic

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at 7 or 8, which is late. He's a
high-functioning autistic.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My lady at the time often said that she
doesn't think he's got autism,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she thinks he has asthmarism.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There was a time when he was riding
with me as a kid,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I already had some fame, and a cop
pulled me over.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I did a wrong turn or something,
and a cop pulled me over.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And as the cop came up to the window to
write the ticket, Charlie leaned over towards

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the window and he said, 'Do you know who
you're talking to?'

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I went SHHHHHH

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And that's one of the main efforts we
have. To get law enforcement to

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
understand there are these types of
people, that they cannot exercise ordinary

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
tough cop bullshit. They've got to assess
the situation and respond accordingly.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've often said that the world would be a
happier place if it was run by autistics.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it may well be.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
INTERVIEWERS: So you've had an incredible
career, anything that you've done-

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Only the beginning of it. I'm not heralded
in every hallway in the world.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I still have to be discovered by a lot of
people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
INTERVIEWERS: Have you ever done standup?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No. I can't even do good sit down.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm with ABILITY Magazine (burps),
lots of sexy picture of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Mary without anything like me around her.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, enough?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
INTERVIEWERS: That's it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How long you gonna fuss around?
