(phone chimes)

00:00:10,792 --> 00:00:12,375
(Julio Torres speaking Spanish)
5
00:00:12,459 --> 00:00:15,042
(ethereal music playing)
6
00:00:28,959 --> 00:00:30,042
Uh-huh.
7
00:00:30,792 --> 00:00:31,792
Okay.
8
00:00:31,876 --> 00:00:34,000
(speaks Spanish)

00:00:34,083 --> 00:00:36,709
(architecture whirring)
10
00:00:36,792 --> 00:00:40,209
(audience cheering, applauding)
11
00:00:40,292 --> 00:00:43,459
Hi. Hi. Hello.
12
00:00:45,542 --> 00:00:46,626
Hello.
13
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:49,250
(cheers and applause continuing)
14
00:00:55,250 --> 00:00:56,584
Hi. Hi.
15
00:00:56,667 --> 00:00:57,626
Hey. Hello.
16
00:00:57,709 --> 00:01:00,542
Uh, my name is Julio.
17
00:01:00,626 --> 00:01:02,125
I am from El Salvador.
18
00:01:02,209 --> 00:01:04,042
I am an Aquarius,
19
00:01:04,125 --> 00:01:08,083
and I am here to show you
my favorite shapes.
20
00:01:08,167 --> 00:01:11,250
I have a lot of shapes
but not a lot of time.
21
00:01:11,334 --> 00:01:13,209
So, we have to start
immediately.
22
00:01:13,292 --> 00:01:14,709
(laughter)
23
00:01:14,792 --> 00:01:17,209
-Um...
-(conveyor belt whirring)
24
00:01:17,292 --> 00:01:22,334
The first shape
that I want to show you...
25
00:01:23,876 --> 00:01:25,083
um...
26
00:01:26,334 --> 00:01:28,334
(laughter)
27
00:01:28,417 --> 00:01:31,709
This shape-- I'm very excited
that this shape is here.
28
00:01:31,792 --> 00:01:33,167
But when I originally asked
this shape
29
00:01:33,250 --> 00:01:34,709
if he wanted to do
the show,
30
00:01:34,792 --> 00:01:37,500
he was like a little
hesitant about it,
31
00:01:37,584 --> 00:01:41,626
a little worried that
we were gonna find him
32
00:01:41,709 --> 00:01:44,542
to be mainstream, I guess?
33
00:01:45,209 --> 00:01:47,167
But I'm like,
what are you talking about?
34
00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:49,792
Everyone... loves a square.
35
00:01:49,876 --> 00:01:51,209
(laughter)
36
00:01:51,292 --> 00:01:52,792
Some of you may be
seeing a square
37
00:01:52,876 --> 00:01:55,250
for the very, very
first time right now.
38
00:01:55,334 --> 00:01:58,626
-(laughter)
-Some of you have seen
a square before.
39
00:01:58,709 --> 00:02:01,292
For those of you who don't know,
40
00:02:01,375 --> 00:02:07,000
a square is roughly
the shape of a door...
41
00:02:07,083 --> 00:02:09,042
(laughter)
42
00:02:11,626 --> 00:02:13,626
...but not quite.
43
00:02:13,709 --> 00:02:14,834
(laughter)
44
00:02:14,918 --> 00:02:17,375
It's a little bit more
complicated than that.
45
00:02:17,459 --> 00:02:18,417
(laughter)
46
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:21,709
In order for this show
to happen,
47
00:02:21,792 --> 00:02:25,542
a lawyer had to look
at all of my shapes
48
00:02:25,626 --> 00:02:29,667
and decide whether or not
they were clearable for air.
49
00:02:29,751 --> 00:02:32,417
(laughter)
50
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:34,959
She looked at every
single one of them,
51
00:02:35,042 --> 00:02:37,500
and after that process
concluded,
52
00:02:37,584 --> 00:02:41,167
completely unprompted
and out of nowhere,
53
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:44,959
she goes, "And my favorite
shape was the square."
54
00:02:45,042 --> 00:02:47,209
(laughter)
55
00:02:49,042 --> 00:02:50,542
Oh.
56
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:52,792
Beautiful little lawyer.
57
00:02:52,876 --> 00:02:55,042
You think we have you
all figured out, don't you?
58
00:02:55,125 --> 00:02:57,292
(laughter)
59
00:02:57,375 --> 00:03:00,667
The next shape that
I need to show you...
60
00:03:01,876 --> 00:03:05,918
is a rectangle having
a really bad day.
61
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
(laughter)
62
00:03:14,667 --> 00:03:17,042
This is an oval...
63
00:03:18,083 --> 00:03:20,626
looking at his reflection
at a pond...
64
00:03:20,709 --> 00:03:26,459
-(laughter)
-...wishing, oh just wishing,
he were a circle.
65
00:03:26,542 --> 00:03:29,125
(laughter)
66
00:03:31,709 --> 00:03:35,292
The next shape is a sphere
67
00:03:35,375 --> 00:03:38,292
who you may recognize
for her current role
68
00:03:38,375 --> 00:03:39,959
as a Ferrero Rocher chocolate.
69
00:03:40,042 --> 00:03:42,417
(laughter)
70
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:45,709
Originally, we had booked
a different Ferrero Rocher
chocolate
71
00:03:45,792 --> 00:03:48,626
to play this part,
but then I was backstage
72
00:03:48,709 --> 00:03:51,542
and I was like, "Places,
places!" And like...
73
00:03:53,459 --> 00:03:57,709
I'm sorry, but where's
your little skirt?
74
00:03:57,792 --> 00:03:59,667
(laughter)
75
00:03:59,751 --> 00:04:01,751
And she was like,
"No, I can do it."
76
00:04:01,834 --> 00:04:04,042
(laughter)
77
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:07,792
No, honey,
I know you can do it,
78
00:04:07,876 --> 00:04:10,584
but if you're not in costume,
I don't know what to tell you.
79
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:13,334
-(laughter)
-And then this one was like,
80
00:04:13,417 --> 00:04:15,834
-"I can do it."
-(laughter)
81
00:04:15,918 --> 00:04:17,667
It's a cruel, cruel business.
82
00:04:17,751 --> 00:04:19,542
(laughter)
83
00:04:21,042 --> 00:04:22,626
The next shape...
84
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:28,042
is a pyramid second.
85
00:04:28,125 --> 00:04:31,292
But first, it is one of my
favorite kinds of shapes,
86
00:04:31,375 --> 00:04:33,000
which is, uh, clear
87
00:04:33,083 --> 00:04:35,709
with a little animal
trapped inside of it.
88
00:04:35,792 --> 00:04:37,959
(laughter)
89
00:04:38,834 --> 00:04:41,375
As I was preparing this show,
90
00:04:41,459 --> 00:04:44,584
and I was deciding which shapes
were gonna go in which order
91
00:04:44,667 --> 00:04:47,042
and I was weighing out the pros
and cons of all of them,
92
00:04:47,125 --> 00:04:48,751
thinking which one
of them were stars,
93
00:04:48,834 --> 00:04:51,292
which ones were
more supporting.
94
00:04:51,375 --> 00:04:55,083
-(laughter)
-And as I was just
deciding all of that,
95
00:04:55,167 --> 00:04:58,167
I thought, oh, I'm sorry.
Is this one of the many
good jobs
96
00:04:58,250 --> 00:05:00,709
that I'm stealing from
hardworking Americans?
97
00:05:00,792 --> 00:05:03,125
-(laughter)
-Because...
98
00:05:04,083 --> 00:05:06,959
Look, I'm just doing it
'cause no one else was doing it
99
00:05:07,042 --> 00:05:08,375
and it needed to be done.
100
00:05:08,459 --> 00:05:10,167
(laughter)
101
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,334
But notice what happens
to this shape
102
00:05:16,417 --> 00:05:19,876
once you begin to expand on
the same basic principle of it.
103
00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:21,876
All of a sudden...
104
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:26,292
it turns into
Tilda Swinton's apartment.
105
00:05:26,375 --> 00:05:28,083
(laughter)
106
00:05:28,167 --> 00:05:30,417
This is where the guests sleep.
107
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:32,250
(laughter)
108
00:05:32,334 --> 00:05:35,584
And this tells them
when it's time to go home.
109
00:05:35,667 --> 00:05:38,459
(laughter)
110
00:05:40,292 --> 00:05:43,083
The next shape that
I want to show you...
111
00:05:44,667 --> 00:05:47,292
is a very basic geometric shape.
112
00:05:47,375 --> 00:05:50,709
It is the harp of time.
113
00:05:52,584 --> 00:05:53,918
Be careful with
the harp of time.
114
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,250
Don't play it too quickly,
115
00:05:55,334 --> 00:05:57,834
or you might end up yesterday.
116
00:05:57,918 --> 00:06:00,000
(laughter)
117
00:06:02,626 --> 00:06:07,417
The next shape that
I need to show you, um...
118
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:09,959
Oh, this is actually--
this is actually pretty simple.
119
00:06:10,042 --> 00:06:12,542
This is me coming in late
for a meeting
120
00:06:12,626 --> 00:06:14,167
and immediately chiming in.
121
00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:16,709
(laughter)
122
00:06:16,792 --> 00:06:21,500
There's something about this
shape that I should confess,
123
00:06:21,584 --> 00:06:24,709
something that I have
to come clean about.
124
00:06:24,792 --> 00:06:28,334
And that is that this cactus
125
00:06:28,417 --> 00:06:32,459
is not the first occupant
of this vessel.
126
00:06:32,542 --> 00:06:34,000
(laughter)
127
00:06:34,083 --> 00:06:37,083
This vessel used to hold
another cactus,
128
00:06:37,167 --> 00:06:41,375
-but I killed it.
-(laughter)
129
00:06:41,459 --> 00:06:45,584
Turns out a cactus needs
very little water,
130
00:06:45,667 --> 00:06:47,417
sunlight,
131
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:52,250
and not a lot of shaking
around the apartment.
132
00:06:52,334 --> 00:06:53,459
(laughter)
133
00:06:53,542 --> 00:06:57,459
And now, I have begun to fear
134
00:06:57,542 --> 00:07:00,792
that this new cactus knows
135
00:07:00,876 --> 00:07:04,918
that seconds before it arrived
into my apartment,
136
00:07:05,626 --> 00:07:07,792
I, with my bare hands,
137
00:07:07,876 --> 00:07:11,584
excavated the corpse
of his predecessor,
138
00:07:11,667 --> 00:07:15,876
threw it out,
wiped the vessel clean,
139
00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:19,876
and said, "Oh, look,
a new home for you."
140
00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:21,834
(laughter)
141
00:07:21,918 --> 00:07:24,834
And by the way, I can speak
freely in front of this cactus
142
00:07:24,918 --> 00:07:26,959
because he doesn't speak
any English.
143
00:07:27,042 --> 00:07:28,292
(laughter)
144
00:07:28,375 --> 00:07:30,626
But I went through his diary...
145
00:07:30,709 --> 00:07:32,500
(laughter)
146
00:07:33,667 --> 00:07:37,167
...and I found this.
(clears throat)
147
00:07:37,250 --> 00:07:39,375
(ethereal music playing)
148
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:43,209
"I feel like I have been
here before..."
149
00:07:43,292 --> 00:07:45,417
(male voice speaking Spanish)
150
00:08:35,667 --> 00:08:39,876
Julio:
"Silly Cactus,
we have a show to do."
151
00:08:39,959 --> 00:08:41,709
(laughter)
152
00:08:43,125 --> 00:08:46,542
(cheers and applause)
153
00:08:51,375 --> 00:08:53,083
A fact about me...
154
00:08:54,626 --> 00:08:56,375
is that I--
155
00:08:56,459 --> 00:08:59,334
I wholeheartedly believe...
156
00:09:00,709 --> 00:09:02,209
in reincarnation.
157
00:09:02,292 --> 00:09:08,417
Because I know-- I just know
in my heart that I was
158
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:13,209
the Trojan guard who
saw the Trojan horse
approach the gates...
159
00:09:13,292 --> 00:09:15,500
(laughter)
160
00:09:15,584 --> 00:09:18,542
...and was like, "Let it in."
161
00:09:18,626 --> 00:09:20,584
(laughter)
162
00:09:23,334 --> 00:09:27,584
"Oh my God, it's a big
fucking beautiful horse!
163
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:29,209
"Open the gates and let it in.
164
00:09:29,292 --> 00:09:31,209
No questions asked.
I don't care."
165
00:09:31,292 --> 00:09:32,709
(laughter)
166
00:09:32,792 --> 00:09:37,083
Like any of you would see
a big fucking beautiful horse
167
00:09:37,167 --> 00:09:39,042
come to your apartment
and you wouldn't let it in.
168
00:09:39,125 --> 00:09:40,918
-No questions asked.
-(laughter)
169
00:09:45,209 --> 00:09:50,125
One of my very favorite
TV shows growing up
170
00:09:50,209 --> 00:09:51,876
was The Flintstones.
171
00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:56,375
But there was always
something that I found
172
00:09:56,459 --> 00:09:58,876
a little puzzling
about The Flintstones.
173
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:03,167
And that is that I would see
so many scenes
174
00:10:03,250 --> 00:10:06,626
with Fred and Barney
hanging out.
175
00:10:06,709 --> 00:10:10,959
And some scenes with
Wilma and Betty hanging out.
176
00:10:11,042 --> 00:10:12,918
And enough scenes
with the couples
177
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,375
just doing their own thing.
178
00:10:14,459 --> 00:10:19,751
But never once in the history
of The Flintstones
179
00:10:19,834 --> 00:10:23,500
was there a scene
where Fred Flintstone
180
00:10:23,584 --> 00:10:27,000
and his friend's wife
Betty Rubble
181
00:10:27,083 --> 00:10:30,042
had to be alone
in the same room together.
182
00:10:30,125 --> 00:10:32,000
(laughter)
183
00:10:32,083 --> 00:10:34,667
This next scene explores
what it would be like...
184
00:10:34,751 --> 00:10:36,876
(laughter)
185
00:10:38,918 --> 00:10:42,292
if Fred Flintstone
and Betty Rubble
186
00:10:42,375 --> 00:10:45,125
had to be alone
in the same room together
187
00:10:45,209 --> 00:10:47,042
for the first time
in their lives.
188
00:10:48,042 --> 00:10:50,250
(cartoonish music playing)
189
00:10:52,918 --> 00:10:55,375
"Betty Rubble answered the door."
190
00:10:55,459 --> 00:10:57,834
"It was none other
than Fred Flintstone."
191
00:10:59,083 --> 00:11:03,292
"'Oh, hi Fred. Are you
looking for Barney?'"
192
00:11:03,375 --> 00:11:06,167
'"Yeah. Is he around?'"
193
00:11:09,083 --> 00:11:11,751
"'He just stepped out,
but did you wanna--"
194
00:11:11,834 --> 00:11:14,667
"'I'm sorry, did you want
to wait inside?'"
195
00:11:15,792 --> 00:11:17,876
"'Oh, so he's not
here right now?'"
196
00:11:19,334 --> 00:11:22,042
"'No, but did you wanna...?'"
197
00:11:22,125 --> 00:11:25,667
"'Right. Um, yeah, sure.'"
198
00:11:26,834 --> 00:11:29,792
"Both parties began
to dread the small talk."
199
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:34,626
"'Oh, I'm sorry, Fred.
No shoes in the house.'"
200
00:11:34,709 --> 00:11:36,709
(laughter)
201
00:11:36,792 --> 00:11:38,375
"'Excuse me?'"
202
00:11:39,417 --> 00:11:41,125
"'No shoes in the house.'"
203
00:11:41,751 --> 00:11:44,417
(scoffs)
"'No, I... I heard you,
204
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:46,709
but literally no one
wears shoes.'"
205
00:11:46,792 --> 00:11:48,375
(laughter)
206
00:11:49,292 --> 00:11:52,375
"'Seems kind of silly
for that to be a rule.'"
207
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,250
"'Huh, well, I'm sorry
you find me silly, Fred.'"
208
00:11:56,334 --> 00:11:57,792
(laughter)
209
00:11:57,876 --> 00:12:00,709
"'No, I don't think
you're silly. I think
the rule is silly,
210
00:12:00,792 --> 00:12:02,918
"'because it's not
a problem that you have.
211
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,250
Like, why would you
even say that?'"
212
00:12:04,334 --> 00:12:06,209
"'Okay, Fred. Next time
I wanna say something,
213
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:09,042
I'll just ask you whether or not
I can say it in my house.'"
214
00:12:09,125 --> 00:12:11,083
(laughter)
215
00:12:11,167 --> 00:12:14,334
(stammering):
"'That is not what I'm saying.'"
216
00:12:14,417 --> 00:12:15,584
"'And now you're raising
your voice.'"
217
00:12:15,667 --> 00:12:17,209
"'I don't think I'm raising
my voice.'"
218
00:12:17,292 --> 00:12:19,876
"'No, you are. You're screaming
at me in my own house, Fred.'"
219
00:12:19,959 --> 00:12:23,209
"'I am not.'"
"'Fred. Fred. Fred...
220
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,292
"Why don't we just
change the subject?'"
221
00:12:28,375 --> 00:12:30,584
"The silence was potent.
222
00:12:31,334 --> 00:12:35,167
You could hear
a pterodactyl flying
from miles and miles away."
223
00:12:35,250 --> 00:12:37,209
(laughter)
224
00:12:38,834 --> 00:12:40,667
(sighs)
225
00:12:40,751 --> 00:12:42,751
"Yabba-dabba-doo."
226
00:12:42,834 --> 00:12:46,000
(laughter and applause)
227
00:12:46,083 --> 00:12:48,125
(cartoonish music plays)
228
00:12:48,209 --> 00:12:49,542
So, um...
229
00:12:49,626 --> 00:12:54,292
That little story wasn't so much
about the shapes themselves
230
00:12:54,375 --> 00:12:57,209
as it was about
the negative space...
231
00:12:57,292 --> 00:12:58,334
(laughter)
232
00:12:58,417 --> 00:13:00,334
...surrounding the shapes.
233
00:13:01,751 --> 00:13:05,209
Um... have you ever seen
234
00:13:05,292 --> 00:13:09,667
the television show
House Hunters ?
235
00:13:09,751 --> 00:13:11,626
If you haven't seen
House Hunters,
236
00:13:11,709 --> 00:13:15,083
just allow yourself to have
the most passive experience
237
00:13:15,167 --> 00:13:17,375
a human being
could possibly have.
238
00:13:18,751 --> 00:13:20,751
Allow yourself
to just be like...
239
00:13:21,792 --> 00:13:24,083
(laughter)
240
00:13:29,334 --> 00:13:31,792
"Oh, no garage.
He's not gonna like that."
241
00:13:31,876 --> 00:13:33,918
(laughter)
242
00:13:35,250 --> 00:13:38,500
I had a dream
about the television show
House Hunters,
243
00:13:38,584 --> 00:13:41,751
and in this dream
I was a real estate agent
244
00:13:41,834 --> 00:13:45,167
who had to show a client
three different properties.
245
00:13:45,250 --> 00:13:48,042
Except this client was
a little hermit crab,
246
00:13:48,125 --> 00:13:51,500
so I had to show him
three different shells.
247
00:13:51,584 --> 00:13:53,375
The first shell I showed him
248
00:13:53,459 --> 00:13:57,626
was a really good shell,
really good location
right by the shore.
249
00:13:57,709 --> 00:14:01,125
Move-in ready, but definitely
a little over his budget.
250
00:14:01,876 --> 00:14:06,083
The second shell I showed him,
comfortably within his budget,
251
00:14:06,167 --> 00:14:07,709
a bit of a fixer-upper,
252
00:14:07,792 --> 00:14:10,042
a little farther away
from the shore,
253
00:14:10,125 --> 00:14:12,375
but definitely within reason.
254
00:14:13,334 --> 00:14:15,626
And then the third shell
I showed him...
255
00:14:15,709 --> 00:14:18,209
was a ranch-style shell.
256
00:14:18,292 --> 00:14:20,209
(laughter)
257
00:14:27,542 --> 00:14:29,667
Do you remember...
258
00:14:30,918 --> 00:14:33,375
the Disney animated film
259
00:14:33,459 --> 00:14:35,667
The Hunchback of Notre Dame ?
260
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:39,626
It wasn't a hit,
but it was there.
261
00:14:39,709 --> 00:14:42,292
It's just sort of what
we got that year.
262
00:14:42,375 --> 00:14:44,292
(laughter)
263
00:14:44,375 --> 00:14:49,000
Sometimes we get lions,
sometimes we get genies,
264
00:14:49,083 --> 00:14:52,709
sometimes we get a tender
Parisian drama for the children.
265
00:14:52,792 --> 00:14:54,876
(laughter)
266
00:14:56,375 --> 00:15:00,292
But a part about that movie
that really, really stayed
with me
267
00:15:00,375 --> 00:15:02,000
was its villain.
268
00:15:02,083 --> 00:15:05,500
This withering,
possibly-closeted,
269
00:15:05,584 --> 00:15:07,751
deeply-troubled little man
270
00:15:07,834 --> 00:15:10,083
named Monsignor Claude Frollo.
271
00:15:10,167 --> 00:15:12,834
And during the peak
of his narrative arc,
272
00:15:12,918 --> 00:15:17,375
Monsignor Claude Frollo sings
into the roaring flames
of the fire
273
00:15:17,459 --> 00:15:20,876
about his lust for
the gypsy girl Esmeralda.
274
00:15:20,959 --> 00:15:26,834
And in that moment,
we see him turn lust
275
00:15:26,918 --> 00:15:32,250
into misogyny,
into essentially genocide.
276
00:15:32,334 --> 00:15:35,167
Anyway, that was
a Happy Meal toy.
277
00:15:35,250 --> 00:15:37,167
(laughter)
278
00:15:39,667 --> 00:15:42,667
(applause)
279
00:15:46,375 --> 00:15:50,125
(laughter)
280
00:15:51,375 --> 00:15:53,792
So, while some children
were playing
281
00:15:53,876 --> 00:15:58,500
with like a Ninja turtle
or a Transformer,
282
00:15:58,584 --> 00:16:00,667
others were like, "Oh, yeah,
mine is this sort of"
283
00:16:00,751 --> 00:16:03,042
"like, medieval court justice.
284
00:16:03,125 --> 00:16:04,334
"Uh, he's morally bankrupt.
285
00:16:04,417 --> 00:16:06,667
"Uh, there's a lot
of self-hate in him.
286
00:16:06,751 --> 00:16:09,334
"And that combined with power
just makes him lash out
287
00:16:09,417 --> 00:16:11,709
"in really toxic and scary ways.
288
00:16:11,792 --> 00:16:14,375
And sometimes, I don't know,
I put him in a little car."
289
00:16:14,459 --> 00:16:16,792
(laughter)
290
00:16:20,083 --> 00:16:24,292
Um, my favorite color is clear.
291
00:16:24,375 --> 00:16:26,125
(laughter)
292
00:16:26,209 --> 00:16:28,792
I love the color clear.
293
00:16:28,876 --> 00:16:31,000
And I distinctly
remember the moment
294
00:16:31,083 --> 00:16:34,334
where I was confronted for
my love with the color clear.
295
00:16:34,417 --> 00:16:39,000
That was when I saw for
the very first time in my life
296
00:16:39,083 --> 00:16:41,751
Cinderella's pretty little feet
297
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:45,500
go into that glass slipper.
298
00:16:45,584 --> 00:16:48,417
When I saw that,
I was like,
299
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:51,876
"What is that?"
300
00:16:51,959 --> 00:16:54,334
(laughter)
301
00:16:54,417 --> 00:16:57,417
"Mother, let's rewind."
302
00:16:57,500 --> 00:16:58,751
(laughter)
303
00:16:58,834 --> 00:17:00,250
And she'd be like,
"Rewind to what?"
304
00:17:00,334 --> 00:17:02,167
I'm like, "You know to what."
305
00:17:02,250 --> 00:17:03,459
(laughter)
306
00:17:03,542 --> 00:17:05,167
"Show me the shoe."
307
00:17:05,250 --> 00:17:06,667
(laughter)
308
00:17:08,083 --> 00:17:11,959
But something that I've been
thinking a lot about recently,
309
00:17:12,042 --> 00:17:15,876
and it didn't hit me
until a few days ago--
310
00:17:15,959 --> 00:17:19,292
Okay, remember that scene
in Cinderella
311
00:17:19,375 --> 00:17:23,292
where she has to rush out of
the ball because it's midnight,
312
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:25,959
and she leaves behind
the glass slipper.
313
00:17:26,042 --> 00:17:27,626
Then the prince finds the shoe,
314
00:17:27,709 --> 00:17:30,834
and this is all
he has left of her.
315
00:17:31,709 --> 00:17:36,042
But presumably there's a scene
where the prince takes the shoe,
316
00:17:36,125 --> 00:17:38,375
and he goes to his subjects
and he goes,
317
00:17:38,459 --> 00:17:41,375
"Have every maiden
in the kingdom try this on
318
00:17:41,459 --> 00:17:46,250
until you find the girl
I met at the ball."
319
00:17:46,334 --> 00:17:48,709
But I bet they were like...
320
00:17:50,083 --> 00:17:52,959
-"Or..."
-(laughter)
321
00:17:53,042 --> 00:17:56,500
"You could just come with us
and look at their faces."
322
00:17:56,584 --> 00:17:58,667
(laughter)
323
00:18:05,292 --> 00:18:06,959
And the prince was
probably like,
324
00:18:07,042 --> 00:18:08,709
(scoffs)
325
00:18:08,792 --> 00:18:11,250
"Okay, but how would
we use the shoe?"
326
00:18:11,334 --> 00:18:13,083
(laughter)
327
00:18:14,834 --> 00:18:18,792
Just because you have a tool
doesn't mean you have to use it.
328
00:18:18,876 --> 00:18:22,334
(laughter and applause)
329
00:18:22,417 --> 00:18:24,167
I don't know if you can tell,
330
00:18:24,250 --> 00:18:27,459
but as a child I really loved
playing with toys.
331
00:18:27,542 --> 00:18:30,459
This might have been
something that maybe
would've hit you tomorrow,
332
00:18:30,542 --> 00:18:33,459
-but I'm telling you now.
-(laughter)
333
00:18:33,542 --> 00:18:36,125
My happiest moments
were really just
334
00:18:36,209 --> 00:18:40,709
me by myself in my room playing.
335
00:18:40,792 --> 00:18:43,626
And something that would
happen sometimes is that
336
00:18:43,709 --> 00:18:48,083
we had this dog
who... I was so-so on.
337
00:18:48,167 --> 00:18:50,709
-And it was mutual.
-(laughter)
338
00:18:50,792 --> 00:18:54,209
And this dog-- this puppy
at this time--
339
00:18:54,292 --> 00:18:57,042
would chew on some of my toys.
340
00:18:57,125 --> 00:18:59,751
And I would come back
and find them disfigured.
341
00:18:59,834 --> 00:19:01,584
Whenever that happened,
342
00:19:01,667 --> 00:19:03,834
my mother would
rush to the store
343
00:19:03,918 --> 00:19:07,250
and find the exact same one.
344
00:19:07,334 --> 00:19:10,834
And then I would
perform a little ritual...
345
00:19:11,918 --> 00:19:17,000
that I, in my head,
called the "transference."
346
00:19:17,083 --> 00:19:19,375
(laughter)
347
00:19:19,459 --> 00:19:25,000
Where I would take the soul
of my old friend...
348
00:19:25,083 --> 00:19:26,292
(laughter)
349
00:19:26,375 --> 00:19:28,792
...and whoosh it away
from its body
350
00:19:28,876 --> 00:19:32,334
and deposit it
onto its new vessel.
351
00:19:32,417 --> 00:19:35,876
And then I'd be like,
"Great! I can play again."
352
00:19:35,959 --> 00:19:37,959
(laughter)
353
00:19:39,167 --> 00:19:41,417
(applause)
354
00:19:43,375 --> 00:19:46,417
My parents really did
encourage me...
355
00:19:47,334 --> 00:19:50,375
to just truly believe that like
anything was possible,
356
00:19:50,459 --> 00:19:52,459
which I think that
that was connected
357
00:19:52,542 --> 00:19:54,626
to just, like, me being
in my little room, like,
358
00:19:54,709 --> 00:19:56,459
pretending to be
different things.
359
00:19:56,542 --> 00:20:00,125
But that encouragement really,
really, really backfired
360
00:20:00,209 --> 00:20:03,584
when I told them that I wanted
to move to the United States
361
00:20:03,667 --> 00:20:07,375
to pursue... uh, this.
362
00:20:07,459 --> 00:20:09,459
(laughter)
363
00:20:11,959 --> 00:20:16,751
And now we go
on a little journey.
364
00:20:16,834 --> 00:20:20,292
-(visor chimes)
-(laughter)
365
00:20:21,209 --> 00:20:23,918
(laughter)
366
00:20:25,375 --> 00:20:26,709
Follow me.
367
00:20:27,542 --> 00:20:30,876
(cheering and applause)
368
00:20:34,626 --> 00:20:37,876
Something fun about these
369
00:20:37,959 --> 00:20:41,709
is that these aren't
so much video glasses
370
00:20:41,792 --> 00:20:43,584
because they have
a slight delay.
371
00:20:43,667 --> 00:20:45,626
So, they're not
so much video glasses
372
00:20:45,709 --> 00:20:47,918
as they are a window...
373
00:20:49,250 --> 00:20:52,125
-into the past.
-(laughter)
374
00:20:54,542 --> 00:20:56,167
And why does
he wear them you ask.
375
00:20:56,250 --> 00:20:58,167
Well, because
if I didn't wear them,
376
00:20:58,250 --> 00:21:01,167
how would you know what
happened from there to here?
377
00:21:01,250 --> 00:21:02,792
(laughter)
378
00:21:02,876 --> 00:21:06,125
-How am I ever gonna know?
-(laughter)
379
00:21:07,417 --> 00:21:09,167
But now I'm here.
380
00:21:09,250 --> 00:21:10,834
I have traveled. Hello.
381
00:21:10,918 --> 00:21:14,292
(applause)
382
00:21:15,584 --> 00:21:20,792
I will now very abruptly
do some impressions at you.
383
00:21:20,876 --> 00:21:22,500
(laughter)
384
00:21:22,584 --> 00:21:23,626
Okay.
385
00:21:23,709 --> 00:21:27,500
Here's the first one.
(clears throat)
386
00:21:29,709 --> 00:21:30,959
"Do not rush me!
387
00:21:31,042 --> 00:21:33,000
The water will be ready
when it's ready!"
388
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:35,918
-(laughter)
-That is...
389
00:21:36,751 --> 00:21:39,417
-a Brita filter.
-(laughter)
390
00:21:46,626 --> 00:21:49,417
You know, Brita filters,
they're not...
391
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:51,709
they're not seamstresses,
they're designers.
392
00:21:51,792 --> 00:21:54,876
You need to give them time
to do what they do.
393
00:21:54,959 --> 00:21:57,417
And often you'll come back and
be like, "Well, is it ready?"
394
00:21:57,500 --> 00:22:00,959
And it's like, "No,
you gotta let an artist
do what an artist does."
395
00:22:01,042 --> 00:22:03,042
(laughter)
396
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:08,667
Okay, here's another one.
(clears throat)
397
00:22:10,375 --> 00:22:12,584
(scoffs)
"Okay, well, I'm sorry
if you don't like what I do,
398
00:22:12,667 --> 00:22:14,459
"and I'm sorry if you don't
like what I stand for.
399
00:22:14,542 --> 00:22:16,667
"But I actually
keep the economy going,
and my job is pretty important.
400
00:22:16,751 --> 00:22:18,292
"I'm sorry if you
can't handle that,
but we live in
401
00:22:18,375 --> 00:22:19,584
a nation of laws,
and rules are rules.
402
00:22:19,667 --> 00:22:21,751
I'm sorry if you
can't handle that."
403
00:22:21,834 --> 00:22:24,542
-That is...
-(laughter)
404
00:22:25,709 --> 00:22:30,042
That nasty little curtain that
divides first class from coach.
405
00:22:30,125 --> 00:22:32,834
(laughter)
406
00:22:35,083 --> 00:22:36,959
And look, I understand
that it's a job
407
00:22:37,042 --> 00:22:40,167
and that some curtain
has to do it.
408
00:22:40,250 --> 00:22:45,042
But to be a curtain and pick
that as your curtain job,
409
00:22:45,125 --> 00:22:48,042
it's like, "Who are you? Why?"
410
00:22:48,125 --> 00:22:49,626
(laughter)
411
00:22:49,709 --> 00:22:51,876
And I bet that if you were
to talk to this curtain,
412
00:22:51,959 --> 00:22:54,667
the curtain would be like,
"Well, you know, I wanted
to be in theater,
413
00:22:54,751 --> 00:22:57,167
but things don't
always work out."
414
00:22:57,250 --> 00:22:59,042
(laughter)
415
00:23:03,709 --> 00:23:08,083
But at least that curtain is
sort of serving a purpose
416
00:23:08,167 --> 00:23:11,918
that I don't fully agree with,
but it is doing something.
417
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,584
To me, though,
the most utterly psychotic
418
00:23:17,667 --> 00:23:20,209
of all the curtains
in the world...
419
00:23:24,209 --> 00:23:27,542
are the curtains that are hung
in a basement...
420
00:23:28,167 --> 00:23:30,417
as to give the illusion
of a window.
421
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:32,167
(laughter)
422
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:34,417
Curtains that tell you,
423
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:37,209
"Well, we don't know.
There might be a window."
424
00:23:37,292 --> 00:23:39,125
But it's like, "No, we know."
425
00:23:39,209 --> 00:23:41,459
(laughter)
426
00:23:41,542 --> 00:23:43,083
"What are you doing?"
427
00:23:44,375 --> 00:23:46,334
That is religion right there.
428
00:23:46,417 --> 00:23:50,959
(laughter and applause)
429
00:23:51,042 --> 00:23:52,375
It's just this
whole thing of like,
430
00:23:52,459 --> 00:23:55,334
"Well, you know, actually
there might be something."
431
00:23:55,417 --> 00:23:56,834
It's like, "There isn't."
432
00:23:56,918 --> 00:23:58,125
(laughter)
433
00:23:58,209 --> 00:23:59,959
And as soon as
we acknowledge that,
434
00:24:00,042 --> 00:24:01,918
we can live a happy life
and move on.
435
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,918
(cheering and applause)
436
00:24:08,959 --> 00:24:13,751
But going back to the curtain
that divides first class
from coach,
437
00:24:13,834 --> 00:24:17,250
I was on this flight,
not long ago,
438
00:24:17,334 --> 00:24:19,709
and it was
a very small airplane.
439
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:21,834
You could tell that
it had been remodeled
440
00:24:21,918 --> 00:24:23,584
so as to accommodate
first class,
441
00:24:23,667 --> 00:24:25,250
that the original design
of the airplane
442
00:24:25,334 --> 00:24:26,792
had only coach seats.
443
00:24:26,876 --> 00:24:29,250
But when they built
in the first class,
444
00:24:29,334 --> 00:24:31,334
they left one flaw,
445
00:24:31,417 --> 00:24:34,417
which is that the first
row of coach seats,
446
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:36,918
the second seat
on that first row
447
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,709
didn't have a first-class seat
directly in front of it.
448
00:24:40,792 --> 00:24:43,167
But it actually had the hallway.
449
00:24:43,250 --> 00:24:45,542
I was sitting on that seat.
450
00:24:45,626 --> 00:24:48,000
And when the flight
attendant came over
451
00:24:48,083 --> 00:24:52,417
and she drew the curtain
dividing the people,
452
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:56,334
the curtain fell right
in front of my face,
453
00:24:56,417 --> 00:24:59,709
like I was this little secret
for first class.
454
00:24:59,792 --> 00:25:05,042
And when it crossed my legs,
my knee gently caressed
the curtain,
455
00:25:05,125 --> 00:25:06,918
causing it to fall.
456
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,417
(laughter)
457
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:11,375
So, then the flight
attendant came over
458
00:25:11,459 --> 00:25:13,125
and reattached
the curtain very quickly.
459
00:25:13,209 --> 00:25:17,125
And then I said, "The curtain's
just gonna fall all over again"
460
00:25:17,209 --> 00:25:19,584
"the second I make
the slightest movement.
461
00:25:19,667 --> 00:25:22,083
Can you please not put it up?"
462
00:25:22,167 --> 00:25:23,751
And then she goes...
463
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,375
-"No, we-- we have to."
-(laughter)
464
00:25:28,459 --> 00:25:32,709
And I'm like, "Well, okay,
but I'm just gonna make
the slightest movement again",
465
00:25:32,792 --> 00:25:35,542
"and the curtain's just gonna
fall all over again.
466
00:25:35,626 --> 00:25:38,542
Can we please not put it up?"
467
00:25:38,626 --> 00:25:41,792
And she goes,
"No, we have to."
468
00:25:41,876 --> 00:25:43,667
(laughter)
469
00:25:43,751 --> 00:25:45,876
And then I asked...
470
00:25:49,542 --> 00:25:52,751
-"Why?"
-(laughter)
471
00:25:52,834 --> 00:25:54,417
And in her eye...
472
00:25:55,709 --> 00:25:59,292
I saw flowers blooming,
meteors falling,
473
00:25:59,375 --> 00:26:00,959
and animals decomposing.
474
00:26:01,042 --> 00:26:02,626
(laughter)
475
00:26:02,709 --> 00:26:05,584
And suddenly, she was free.
476
00:26:05,667 --> 00:26:07,417
(laughter)
477
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:10,459
-She had been released.
-(cheering and applause)
478
00:26:12,834 --> 00:26:15,417
These next shapes
I'm so excited to show you.
479
00:26:18,626 --> 00:26:20,876
(laughter)
480
00:26:24,417 --> 00:26:27,334
So, I went to the zoo recently,
481
00:26:27,417 --> 00:26:30,209
and I was very underwhelmed
by the silhouettes
482
00:26:30,292 --> 00:26:32,250
-that I saw at the zoo.
-(laughter)
483
00:26:32,334 --> 00:26:33,876
It just felt like
more of the same,
484
00:26:33,959 --> 00:26:35,834
like all these animals
I've seen before.
485
00:26:35,918 --> 00:26:38,334
So, I am going
to present this zoo
486
00:26:38,417 --> 00:26:41,667
with ideas for new animals
for them to make.
487
00:26:41,751 --> 00:26:44,500
(laughter)
488
00:26:44,584 --> 00:26:47,375
The first idea is how about...
489
00:26:48,709 --> 00:26:51,209
a swan with a neck so, so long
490
00:26:51,292 --> 00:26:53,209
that he must drag
his head behind him.
491
00:26:53,292 --> 00:26:54,959
(laughter)
492
00:26:55,042 --> 00:26:56,918
Beauty is a curse.
493
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,334
(laughter)
494
00:26:58,417 --> 00:27:01,709
And this swan knows that
very, very well.
495
00:27:03,626 --> 00:27:07,167
Or how about a flamingo
that's like,
496
00:27:07,250 --> 00:27:09,959
"You know what?
I'm just gonna use both legs."
497
00:27:10,042 --> 00:27:11,959
(laughter)
498
00:27:12,042 --> 00:27:14,709
Or a platypus that's like,
499
00:27:14,792 --> 00:27:17,542
"Bisexuality is real,
and so am I."
500
00:27:17,626 --> 00:27:19,375
(laughter)
501
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,083
Or how about a little porcupine
who removed all of his quills
502
00:27:26,167 --> 00:27:29,918
so as not to hurt
his non-porcupine lover?
503
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,834
And now he looks
at his reflection
504
00:27:31,918 --> 00:27:34,250
and can no longer
recognize himself.
505
00:27:34,334 --> 00:27:35,500
(laughter)
506
00:27:35,584 --> 00:27:38,167
These are all Happy Meal toys,
too, by the way.
507
00:27:38,250 --> 00:27:39,292
(laughter)
508
00:27:39,375 --> 00:27:40,834
So, some kids
are gonna be like,
509
00:27:40,918 --> 00:27:43,209
"Oh, yeah, I got
the porcupine that compromised
510
00:27:43,292 --> 00:27:45,292
to the extent where now he can't
even recognize himself."
511
00:27:45,375 --> 00:27:46,500
And another kid's
gonna be like,
512
00:27:46,584 --> 00:27:48,083
"Oh, I got the snake who's like
513
00:27:48,167 --> 00:27:50,876
addicted to buying shoes online,
even though she can't wear them,
514
00:27:50,959 --> 00:27:53,083
and at first it's kind of funny,
but then it gets really sad.
515
00:27:53,167 --> 00:27:55,334
(laughter)
516
00:27:57,834 --> 00:28:01,334
And lastly, how about a clam
517
00:28:01,417 --> 00:28:03,667
who is way in over his head
518
00:28:03,751 --> 00:28:07,250
because he misrepresented
himself at a job interview
519
00:28:07,334 --> 00:28:10,083
-as an oyster.
-(laughter)
520
00:28:10,167 --> 00:28:12,709
So, now the clam is at work,
and the boss is like,
521
00:28:12,792 --> 00:28:15,167
"Great! We'll just need a pearl
by the end of the day."
522
00:28:15,250 --> 00:28:18,334
(laughter)
523
00:28:20,792 --> 00:28:23,417
And the clam is like, "I..."
524
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:27,334
-Yeah, okay."
-(laughter)
525
00:28:28,792 --> 00:28:31,459
"Mm-hmm."
"One? One round?"
526
00:28:31,542 --> 00:28:34,125
"Yeah, just go back
to your computer
527
00:28:34,209 --> 00:28:36,209
and, uh, make the pearl."
528
00:28:36,876 --> 00:28:38,751
"And how do you-- oh, no,
I know how to do it.
529
00:28:38,834 --> 00:28:40,083
Got it."
"Okay, great."
530
00:28:40,167 --> 00:28:41,626
(laughter)
531
00:28:42,709 --> 00:28:46,375
And for this presentation
for the zoo, by the way,
532
00:28:46,459 --> 00:28:48,292
I am very well-prepared
533
00:28:48,375 --> 00:28:50,792
because I have also made...
534
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,209
their shadows and their souls.
535
00:28:56,292 --> 00:28:58,292
(laughter)
536
00:28:59,542 --> 00:29:02,375
-Because I don't want
the zoo to say...
-(applause)
537
00:29:02,459 --> 00:29:04,542
"Oh, these are great,
but I have no idea
538
00:29:04,626 --> 00:29:06,584
what their shadows
or their souls would be like."
539
00:29:06,667 --> 00:29:09,083
And I was like,
"Well, I'm not crazy.
540
00:29:09,167 --> 00:29:11,292
-I make them."
-(laughter)
541
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:15,876
I really feel
a connection to that clam,
542
00:29:15,959 --> 00:29:18,334
because I've tried to take
so many jobs here in America
543
00:29:18,417 --> 00:29:23,083
just wildly misrepresenting
what I could or could not do.
544
00:29:23,167 --> 00:29:24,792
Because I was
just so desperate
545
00:29:24,876 --> 00:29:26,876
to stay here
and get a work visa.
546
00:29:26,959 --> 00:29:30,209
And there was this one
job interview that I went to,
547
00:29:30,292 --> 00:29:33,751
but then the job interview
was going bad
548
00:29:33,834 --> 00:29:36,959
because the interview
is for sales.
549
00:29:37,042 --> 00:29:38,209
And I'm saying things like,
550
00:29:38,292 --> 00:29:40,876
"Well, you know,
I've bought things before,
551
00:29:40,959 --> 00:29:45,334
"so doing the opposite
would be fun...
552
00:29:45,417 --> 00:29:47,667
-(laughter)
-...for me."
553
00:29:47,751 --> 00:29:53,167
And then there's this long, long
silence at the job interview.
554
00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:55,709
And I'm panicking
and I'm thinking,
555
00:29:55,792 --> 00:29:58,250
I-- I need to get some job.
556
00:29:58,334 --> 00:30:00,042
I need to get something.
557
00:30:00,125 --> 00:30:01,792
'Cause if I don't,
it's just gonna cause
558
00:30:01,876 --> 00:30:03,667
this domino effect that
I can't think about.
559
00:30:03,751 --> 00:30:04,876
I have to get
this woman to like me.
560
00:30:04,959 --> 00:30:06,292
I have to get her to like me.
561
00:30:06,375 --> 00:30:08,709
I have to say something
that will turn it around.
562
00:30:08,792 --> 00:30:11,542
And then, I look at her,
straight in the eye,
563
00:30:11,626 --> 00:30:13,417
and out of nowhere I say...
564
00:30:14,125 --> 00:30:17,334
"I love corporations."
565
00:30:17,417 --> 00:30:19,834
(laughter)
566
00:30:21,042 --> 00:30:24,834
That is by far the darkest thing
I have ever said in my life.
567
00:30:24,918 --> 00:30:26,626
(laughter)
568
00:30:27,959 --> 00:30:29,000
And it haunts me.
569
00:30:29,083 --> 00:30:31,500
It haunts me to this very day.
570
00:30:31,584 --> 00:30:34,083
(laughter)
571
00:30:36,125 --> 00:30:39,417
But, you know,
it all worked out at the end,
572
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:45,209
because I didn't get
any of those jobs.
573
00:30:45,292 --> 00:30:47,792
But I ended up getting a visa
574
00:30:47,876 --> 00:30:50,751
that claims I'm an alien
of extraordinary ability.
575
00:30:50,834 --> 00:30:55,209
-(cheers and applause)
-The ability includes this.
576
00:30:55,292 --> 00:30:58,500
-(ethereal music playing)
-(laughter)
577
00:31:01,459 --> 00:31:03,083
(Julio chuckles)
578
00:31:04,375 --> 00:31:06,042
That's for me.
579
00:31:06,125 --> 00:31:10,292
(laughter and applause)
580
00:31:10,375 --> 00:31:13,542
A problem that I often face
is that I'll sit down
581
00:31:13,626 --> 00:31:16,792
and try to write and try
to come up with things to say
582
00:31:16,876 --> 00:31:18,292
and try to come up
with material.
583
00:31:18,375 --> 00:31:21,209
But something that has been
happening to me a lot
584
00:31:21,292 --> 00:31:22,876
is that I'll sit down,
wanting to write
585
00:31:22,959 --> 00:31:25,626
and then I'll end up
accidentally just
fully-sketching
586
00:31:25,709 --> 00:31:27,626
another gorgeous
bridal collection.
587
00:31:27,709 --> 00:31:29,667
(laughter)
588
00:31:30,667 --> 00:31:32,959
Because I have never
in my life seen
589
00:31:33,042 --> 00:31:35,167
a wedding dress
that I actually liked.
590
00:31:35,250 --> 00:31:37,709
So I sit down and I'm like,
"Well, maybe it's a pant."
591
00:31:37,792 --> 00:31:40,709
And then I have to be like,
"No, Julio, this is not
your problem."
592
00:31:40,792 --> 00:31:43,042
(laughter)
593
00:31:43,125 --> 00:31:45,626
This is somebody else's
cross to bear.
594
00:31:48,083 --> 00:31:50,584
However, though,
there is a garment
595
00:31:50,667 --> 00:31:52,876
that I've been
meaning to design.
596
00:31:52,959 --> 00:31:55,584
It's not a wedding dress,
but how about...
597
00:31:56,542 --> 00:32:02,375
a cape for a queen
that is so, so long
598
00:32:02,459 --> 00:32:06,500
that she doesn't know there's
another queen at the end of it.
599
00:32:06,584 --> 00:32:08,667
(laughter)
600
00:32:09,792 --> 00:32:12,709
But the cape has
to be so, so long
601
00:32:12,792 --> 00:32:15,000
that they have no idea.
602
00:32:15,083 --> 00:32:18,000
Except every now and then,
they feel a little tug,
603
00:32:19,751 --> 00:32:24,459
and they might wonder what it is
or they might ignore it,
604
00:32:24,542 --> 00:32:28,709
but then the curious queen will
be the one who turns around,
605
00:32:28,792 --> 00:32:33,000
follows the cape,
and changes her life forever.
606
00:32:33,876 --> 00:32:36,792
There are two kinds
of queens in this world:
607
00:32:36,876 --> 00:32:41,375
the queen that follows the cape
and the queen that does not.
608
00:32:41,459 --> 00:32:44,542
I made that up right now.
(poofs) I have returned.
609
00:32:44,626 --> 00:32:49,000
(laughter and applause)
610
00:32:53,876 --> 00:32:59,250
I have often been called
"too niche."
611
00:32:59,334 --> 00:33:01,834
-(laughter)
-To which I'll say,
612
00:33:01,918 --> 00:33:07,792
I have no idea what you could
possibly be talking about.
613
00:33:07,876 --> 00:33:10,167
(laughter)
614
00:33:13,167 --> 00:33:16,667
I have purchased chairs
for all of my crystals.
615
00:33:16,751 --> 00:33:18,667
(laughter)
616
00:33:18,751 --> 00:33:22,834
Because I don't know
if crystals actually work,
617
00:33:22,918 --> 00:33:24,792
but, just in case,
618
00:33:24,876 --> 00:33:27,834
I got them all chairs
and little desks.
619
00:33:27,918 --> 00:33:29,542
(laughter)
620
00:33:29,626 --> 00:33:31,542
So, they don't have an excuse.
621
00:33:31,626 --> 00:33:32,584
(laughter)
622
00:33:32,667 --> 00:33:36,042
(chuckles)
I'm just a little alien
623
00:33:36,125 --> 00:33:38,751
playing with my toys,
624
00:33:38,834 --> 00:33:41,375
but this time
to a captive audience.
625
00:33:41,459 --> 00:33:42,792
(laughter)
626
00:33:43,667 --> 00:33:47,626
Um, as a child,
I distinctly remember
627
00:33:47,709 --> 00:33:49,876
learning how to write.
628
00:33:49,959 --> 00:33:53,709
And I distinctly remember
learning how to write
the letter E,
629
00:33:53,792 --> 00:33:56,876
because me and the Es
630
00:33:56,959 --> 00:34:01,959
became this ongoing
parent-teacher conference saga.
631
00:34:02,792 --> 00:34:05,626
Where-- okay, you know
what an E is, right?
632
00:34:05,709 --> 00:34:08,125
You've seen an E before?
633
00:34:08,918 --> 00:34:12,542
But when I would watch
the teacher write the letter E,
634
00:34:12,626 --> 00:34:15,209
I'd be like, okay,
I see what she did.
635
00:34:15,292 --> 00:34:17,334
She created the frame,
636
00:34:17,417 --> 00:34:21,459
which are sort of the rules
that we must respect
637
00:34:21,542 --> 00:34:23,375
in order to live in a society.
638
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,542
But within those boundaries,
she drew in a little stick.
639
00:34:28,626 --> 00:34:30,751
And I was like, okay,
640
00:34:30,834 --> 00:34:33,375
but what if I--
641
00:34:33,459 --> 00:34:35,250
I mean, could I just maybe...?
642
00:34:35,334 --> 00:34:37,500
(laughter)
643
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,375
So, I would treat Es
on a case-by-case basis.
644
00:34:46,459 --> 00:34:47,667
(laughter)
645
00:34:47,751 --> 00:34:49,167
I'd be writing and I'd be like,
646
00:34:49,250 --> 00:34:52,459
oh, this one wants two,
this one wants five.
647
00:34:52,542 --> 00:34:55,959
Oh, this one's 18,
this one feels like it wants 18.
648
00:34:56,042 --> 00:34:57,959
And my teacher was like,
649
00:34:58,042 --> 00:35:01,042
"Okay, Julio,
that's really interesting,
650
00:35:01,125 --> 00:35:04,292
but you gotta write an E
and move on."
651
00:35:04,375 --> 00:35:07,375
Or, you know, "You can't have
a sentence like,
652
00:35:07,459 --> 00:35:09,083
(speaking Spanish)
653
00:35:09,167 --> 00:35:11,125
It'd be ten days
of labor for you."
654
00:35:11,209 --> 00:35:12,459
(laughter)
655
00:35:12,542 --> 00:35:15,834
And you know what?
I get it, I...
656
00:35:15,918 --> 00:35:18,167
I understand how you live
in the real world,
657
00:35:18,250 --> 00:35:22,792
and I understand that sometimes
a thing is just a thing
658
00:35:22,876 --> 00:35:24,125
and you have to move on,
659
00:35:24,209 --> 00:35:26,542
and you just gotta
see it for what it is.
660
00:35:26,626 --> 00:35:29,083
But frankly-- I'm sorry--
but that is the kind of thinking
661
00:35:29,167 --> 00:35:31,000
that got that man elected.
662
00:35:31,083 --> 00:35:32,959
(laughter)
663
00:35:34,125 --> 00:35:36,876
(applause)
664
00:35:36,959 --> 00:35:42,584
My least, least favorite shape
665
00:35:42,667 --> 00:35:46,542
is someone telling me,
"It is what it is."
666
00:35:46,626 --> 00:35:48,042
(laughter)
667
00:35:48,125 --> 00:35:50,959
This is Helena Bonham Carter.
668
00:35:51,042 --> 00:35:53,584
(laughter)
669
00:35:56,167 --> 00:35:57,626
Shakira.
670
00:35:57,709 --> 00:36:00,792
(laughter)
671
00:36:02,375 --> 00:36:03,709
And this...
672
00:36:03,792 --> 00:36:06,417
Oh, where are you going?
673
00:36:07,709 --> 00:36:10,000
No! No, no, no, no, no.
674
00:36:10,667 --> 00:36:13,500
Come here.
(sighs) So delicate.
675
00:36:13,584 --> 00:36:15,751
You know, it's because
he is so beautiful
676
00:36:15,834 --> 00:36:18,542
that he can get away
with being so shy.
677
00:36:18,626 --> 00:36:22,417
Because he knows
that no matter what,
the camera will love him.
678
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:25,209
It's like, shh, shh!
So shy!
679
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,250
Anyway, this is
Timothée Chalamet.
680
00:36:28,334 --> 00:36:30,834
(laughter)
681
00:36:30,918 --> 00:36:34,542
Timothée doesn't want to be
in the show right now. Okay.
682
00:36:36,209 --> 00:36:40,959
Have you ever met someone
who is so young
683
00:36:41,042 --> 00:36:43,542
and so attractive
and so confident
684
00:36:43,626 --> 00:36:46,959
but so utterly clueless about
the way the world works?
685
00:36:47,042 --> 00:36:50,000
But because they're so young,
so confident, and so attractive,
686
00:36:50,083 --> 00:36:53,375
you just know that the world
will just be handed to them?
687
00:36:54,250 --> 00:36:58,459
(sighs)
This is Josh.
688
00:36:58,542 --> 00:37:01,334
(laughter)
689
00:37:03,292 --> 00:37:06,417
The confidence at his age
is like... how?
690
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:07,876
(laughter)
691
00:37:07,959 --> 00:37:10,459
Josh came up to me after a show,
and he was like, "Hey",
692
00:37:10,542 --> 00:37:12,167
"you know, just so you know,
I really like what you're doing
693
00:37:12,250 --> 00:37:14,125
and I'd love to get involved
in any way that I can."
694
00:37:14,209 --> 00:37:18,751
And I'm thinking,
I have nothing to offer you.
695
00:37:18,834 --> 00:37:20,751
(laughter)
696
00:37:20,834 --> 00:37:23,209
But anyway,
he's my social media intern now.
697
00:37:23,292 --> 00:37:25,626
(laughter)
698
00:37:25,709 --> 00:37:27,250
It's like, okay,
I don't know why,
699
00:37:27,334 --> 00:37:29,083
but I feel compelled
to give you things.
700
00:37:29,167 --> 00:37:30,584
(laughter)
701
00:37:30,667 --> 00:37:31,834
Um...
702
00:37:37,083 --> 00:37:41,250
This is Rob.
703
00:37:41,334 --> 00:37:44,250
Rob is my immigration attorney.
704
00:37:44,334 --> 00:37:46,417
(laughter)
705
00:37:48,417 --> 00:37:53,876
And this right here,
this is Dylan Cabrera.
706
00:37:53,959 --> 00:37:56,417
Uh, Dylan works in--
707
00:37:56,500 --> 00:37:58,959
I always forget.
Merchandising, I think,
708
00:37:59,042 --> 00:38:00,459
the last time we spoke.
709
00:38:00,542 --> 00:38:03,459
And Dylan and Rob,
they're a couple.
710
00:38:03,542 --> 00:38:05,542
Uh, they live...
711
00:38:06,375 --> 00:38:10,417
in this gorgeous, gigantic loft
712
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:12,459
-in Tribeca.
-(laughter)
713
00:38:12,542 --> 00:38:16,000
Uh, because I think
Dylan comes from money.
714
00:38:16,083 --> 00:38:18,125
Uh, it's just one
of those things
715
00:38:18,209 --> 00:38:20,417
where you walk into the loft
and you're like,
716
00:38:20,500 --> 00:38:22,959
okay, so you're
an immigration attorney
717
00:38:23,042 --> 00:38:24,792
and you do
merchandising sometimes.
718
00:38:24,876 --> 00:38:27,792
-And the loft happens how?
-(laughter)
719
00:38:27,876 --> 00:38:29,375
Um...
720
00:38:29,459 --> 00:38:31,751
But we don't ask
questions, but, uh...
721
00:38:31,834 --> 00:38:34,876
I don't know if you can see,
but Dylan here,
722
00:38:34,959 --> 00:38:36,626
he doesn't have much of a beak.
723
00:38:36,709 --> 00:38:39,542
And that's because he had a very
large, very prominent beak,
724
00:38:39,626 --> 00:38:41,834
that he was a little
self-conscious about,
725
00:38:41,918 --> 00:38:44,918
so he got it removed.
726
00:38:45,542 --> 00:38:50,584
When he came back to the loft
that night after the surgery,
727
00:38:50,667 --> 00:38:53,250
Rob was there,
and Dylan was like,
728
00:38:53,334 --> 00:38:56,626
"Well? What do you think?"
729
00:38:56,709 --> 00:38:58,375
(laughter)
730
00:38:58,459 --> 00:39:00,209
And Rob was like...
731
00:39:04,167 --> 00:39:05,500
"No, I like it..."
732
00:39:05,584 --> 00:39:07,792
(laughter)
733
00:39:08,918 --> 00:39:11,375
And Dylan was like,
"No, you like it?"
734
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:14,500
And Rob was like, "Well..."
735
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:17,209
I mean, I don't know. Your--
736
00:39:17,292 --> 00:39:18,417
Your beak was big,
737
00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:21,792
but your beak was...
it was you.
738
00:39:23,709 --> 00:39:26,042
And Dylan is like,
"Exactly! My beak was me,
739
00:39:26,125 --> 00:39:27,876
"my beak was a part of my body,
so I don't feel like you can
740
00:39:27,959 --> 00:39:30,876
just walk into a room and police
what I do with my body.
741
00:39:30,959 --> 00:39:32,876
-And Rob is like, "Sweetie..."
-(laughter)
742
00:39:32,959 --> 00:39:36,000
"Sweetie, I love you
the old way,
743
00:39:36,083 --> 00:39:37,667
"I love you the new way.
744
00:39:37,751 --> 00:39:39,292
Let's just go to bed."
745
00:39:39,375 --> 00:39:40,834
(laughter)
746
00:39:41,709 --> 00:39:43,292
Anyway, they're engaged.
747
00:39:43,375 --> 00:39:45,584
(laughter)
748
00:39:48,167 --> 00:39:50,709
So, um, good luck
with all of that.
749
00:39:54,334 --> 00:39:57,834
This is...
750
00:39:57,918 --> 00:39:59,250
Jessica.
751
00:39:59,334 --> 00:40:01,167
(laughter)
752
00:40:01,250 --> 00:40:03,209
Jessica is from L.A.
753
00:40:03,292 --> 00:40:04,584
(laughter)
754
00:40:04,667 --> 00:40:07,417
-Jessica works in P.R.
-(laughter)
755
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:12,083
Jessica begins and ends
every single e-mail with ASAP.
756
00:40:12,167 --> 00:40:13,751
(laughter)
757
00:40:13,834 --> 00:40:16,959
-Everything is ASAP.
-(laughter)
758
00:40:17,042 --> 00:40:19,000
Um...
759
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:20,751
And, wait, hold on.
I'm sorry.
760
00:40:20,834 --> 00:40:23,000
If I can just go
back to the whole...
761
00:40:23,083 --> 00:40:25,792
Dylan and Rob mess for a second.
762
00:40:25,876 --> 00:40:27,751
(laughter)
763
00:40:29,417 --> 00:40:32,876
And that is, that with all
the conflicts that they have
764
00:40:32,959 --> 00:40:35,000
and all the baggage
that you can feel
765
00:40:35,083 --> 00:40:37,667
and the toxicity that's
between them as a couple,
766
00:40:37,751 --> 00:40:41,626
they met this young,
beautiful thing right here.
767
00:40:41,709 --> 00:40:44,375
-(laughter)
-His name is Tristan,
of course.
768
00:40:45,459 --> 00:40:48,584
And now they brought him
into their relationship,
769
00:40:48,667 --> 00:40:51,125
so there's this
"polyamorii" triad thing.
770
00:40:51,209 --> 00:40:53,876
And it's like, great,
you know what?
771
00:40:53,959 --> 00:40:56,500
2019, you do you.
772
00:40:56,584 --> 00:40:59,792
But also, he's 22.
773
00:40:59,876 --> 00:41:01,751
(laughter)
774
00:41:01,834 --> 00:41:04,709
You know what? Whatever.
We're all gonna be there
at the wedding,
775
00:41:04,792 --> 00:41:07,792
and none of us are gonna say
a damn thing about anything.
776
00:41:07,876 --> 00:41:10,375
(laughter)
777
00:41:15,876 --> 00:41:20,500
I should preface this
by saying...
778
00:41:21,292 --> 00:41:25,167
that I have nothing but love
for all of my shapes.
779
00:41:25,250 --> 00:41:27,375
I-- and I mean it.
780
00:41:27,459 --> 00:41:34,042
(sighs)
But there is just something
about this shape...
781
00:41:34,125 --> 00:41:38,834
and I can't quite put
my finger on it.
782
00:41:39,667 --> 00:41:41,667
But every time I see it...
783
00:41:41,751 --> 00:41:43,459
(laughter)
784
00:41:43,542 --> 00:41:45,751
I'm just like, no.
785
00:41:45,834 --> 00:41:48,250
(laughter)
786
00:41:48,334 --> 00:41:49,500
No.
787
00:41:50,667 --> 00:41:52,834
Just like, absolutely not.
788
00:41:52,918 --> 00:41:54,959
(laughter)
789
00:41:55,042 --> 00:41:57,042
His name is Eric.
790
00:41:57,125 --> 00:42:00,250
He's very sweet
and he means well,
791
00:42:00,334 --> 00:42:01,959
but I don't--
like, some--
792
00:42:02,042 --> 00:42:03,834
like, every group has
the one, I guess.
793
00:42:03,918 --> 00:42:06,459
And like, sometimes
my shapes and I after a show,
794
00:42:06,542 --> 00:42:08,209
we like grab a drink
and we're having fun.
795
00:42:08,292 --> 00:42:10,042
And then I'm like having
a glass of wine,
796
00:42:10,125 --> 00:42:11,417
and then I turn around
and it's like...
797
00:42:11,500 --> 00:42:12,626
"Hey."
798
00:42:12,709 --> 00:42:14,667
(laughter)
799
00:42:16,375 --> 00:42:19,375
And I'm like, "Hey, Eric.
800
00:42:20,334 --> 00:42:22,042
How's your night going?"
801
00:42:22,125 --> 00:42:24,042
He's like, "I'm sorry, what?"
802
00:42:24,125 --> 00:42:26,042
It's like, "How's your--
don't make me--
803
00:42:26,125 --> 00:42:27,709
like, I don't know!"
804
00:42:27,792 --> 00:42:29,959
(laughter)
805
00:42:30,042 --> 00:42:31,626
But you know, Eric,
806
00:42:31,709 --> 00:42:34,500
even though all of it, I...
807
00:42:35,375 --> 00:42:37,918
I do have a lot of love for him,
808
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:45,083
because it is thanks to Eric
that I have met a true star.
809
00:42:45,167 --> 00:42:47,000
(laughter)
810
00:42:47,083 --> 00:42:51,209
The second I saw her,
I thought...
811
00:42:52,834 --> 00:42:55,083
Game over.
812
00:42:55,167 --> 00:42:56,542
(laughter)
813
00:42:56,626 --> 00:43:00,876
The star power is palpable
and it fills up the room.
814
00:43:00,959 --> 00:43:07,584
-(drumroll)
-Please allow me
to introduce...
815
00:43:11,751 --> 00:43:13,083
Krisha.
816
00:43:13,167 --> 00:43:15,250
(laughter)
817
00:43:17,083 --> 00:43:21,542
(applause and cheering)
818
00:43:22,417 --> 00:43:26,459
Now, let's introduce her again,
but in the very same way
819
00:43:26,542 --> 00:43:29,459
that Kate Winslet was
introduced in Titanic .
820
00:43:29,542 --> 00:43:35,417
-(flute music playing)
-When Kate laid eyes on the boat
for the very first time.
821
00:43:38,292 --> 00:43:41,626
(laughter and applause)
822
00:43:50,292 --> 00:43:52,417
-Krisha.
-(laughter)
823
00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:55,834
I obviously adore Krisha.
824
00:43:57,792 --> 00:44:02,709
And I like her so much that I am
helping her with a TV show.
825
00:44:02,792 --> 00:44:04,000
(laughter)
826
00:44:04,083 --> 00:44:06,542
And this TV show would be
semi-autobiographical,
827
00:44:06,626 --> 00:44:09,042
and it would follow
Krisha's journey,
828
00:44:09,125 --> 00:44:11,751
beginning with getting
cheated on in the D.R.
829
00:44:11,834 --> 00:44:14,751
Deciding that she's
had it with that man,
830
00:44:14,834 --> 00:44:17,167
she packs her bags
and she moves to Miami
831
00:44:17,250 --> 00:44:20,334
to pursue her passion
of fashion.
832
00:44:20,417 --> 00:44:24,125
-(laughter)
-But is the Miami market
ready for little dresses
833
00:44:24,209 --> 00:44:26,334
that are actually
to Krisha's size?
834
00:44:26,417 --> 00:44:28,500
(laughter)
835
00:44:28,584 --> 00:44:32,584
We'll find out in the show
as Krisha juggles love,
836
00:44:32,667 --> 00:44:37,167
relationships, fashion,
and her faith.
837
00:44:37,250 --> 00:44:39,209
(laughter)
838
00:44:39,292 --> 00:44:43,417
Krisha's faith was not
originally a part
of the concept,
839
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:47,959
and, frankly, some of the rants
get a little dicey.
840
00:44:48,042 --> 00:44:50,918
Some of the rants, I'm like,
okay, but you know that...
841
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,167
You know that I am, right?
842
00:44:53,250 --> 00:44:56,375
And you also know that the guy
who did your makeup is--
843
00:44:56,459 --> 00:44:59,125
okay, well, I love you anyway.
844
00:44:59,209 --> 00:45:02,083
The title of the show you ask.
845
00:45:02,167 --> 00:45:03,709
Mundo de Krisha.
846
00:45:03,792 --> 00:45:06,459
(laughter)
847
00:45:10,250 --> 00:45:11,459
Oh my God.
848
00:45:12,834 --> 00:45:14,375
This next shape...
849
00:45:16,834 --> 00:45:19,918
might be my favorite part
of this entire show.
850
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,584
Might be the reason why this
show even exists to begin with.
851
00:45:24,918 --> 00:45:28,125
I shudder to think
what would happen
852
00:45:28,209 --> 00:45:32,250
if this shape were to fall
in the wrong hands.
853
00:45:32,334 --> 00:45:34,167
(laughter)
854
00:45:35,250 --> 00:45:38,751
If you have never seen one
of these in action before...
855
00:45:39,918 --> 00:45:42,500
-get ready.
-(laughter)
856
00:45:43,209 --> 00:45:45,459
One, two...
857
00:45:46,167 --> 00:45:48,959
(toy squeaking)
858
00:45:50,959 --> 00:45:53,500
(laughter)
859
00:45:56,250 --> 00:45:58,667
(laughter)
860
00:46:07,959 --> 00:46:09,751
We rehearsed this.
861
00:46:09,834 --> 00:46:11,876
(laughter)
862
00:46:15,167 --> 00:46:17,292
And then I get here
and I'm like, "Do you guys
wanna run it?"
863
00:46:17,375 --> 00:46:19,876
They're like, "No, we got it.
Uh-uh, uh-uh..."
864
00:46:20,709 --> 00:46:22,334
Regardless...
865
00:46:23,667 --> 00:46:26,667
I've got nothing--
nothing but love
866
00:46:26,751 --> 00:46:30,083
for the penguins
and their world.
867
00:46:31,667 --> 00:46:33,959
But especially
this one right here.
868
00:46:35,083 --> 00:46:37,000
That blue one in the middle.
869
00:46:37,083 --> 00:46:38,334
I love him so much
that he's inspired
870
00:46:38,417 --> 00:46:40,709
a little something
I'm about to read to you.
871
00:46:40,792 --> 00:46:42,542
(laughter)
872
00:46:42,626 --> 00:46:44,125
(clears throat)
873
00:46:44,209 --> 00:46:46,459
-(piano music playing)
-"The blue penguin loved being
874
00:46:46,542 --> 00:46:48,250
"a part of the playful
penguin race
875
00:46:48,334 --> 00:46:50,709
more than anything else
in the world."
876
00:46:51,959 --> 00:46:54,459
Male voice:
The excitement of going
up the stairs,
877
00:46:55,417 --> 00:46:57,042
down the loops,
878
00:46:58,250 --> 00:47:00,209
and maybe, just maybe
879
00:47:00,292 --> 00:47:03,000
winning one day
was all I had.
880
00:47:04,792 --> 00:47:06,792
But everything changed
the day I realized
881
00:47:06,876 --> 00:47:09,876
I was racing on a preset track.
882
00:47:09,959 --> 00:47:12,459
The black penguin ahead of me,
883
00:47:13,125 --> 00:47:15,042
the red one behind me,
884
00:47:16,042 --> 00:47:18,500
and nothing
I could do about it.
885
00:47:18,584 --> 00:47:23,751
The game was designed so I'd
come in second place forever.
886
00:47:23,834 --> 00:47:26,417
The black penguin
celebrated his victories
887
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:28,667
as though they were his own.
888
00:47:28,751 --> 00:47:32,417
The red thought he just
wasn't trying hard enough.
889
00:47:32,500 --> 00:47:34,500
And so I was
suddenly all alone
890
00:47:34,584 --> 00:47:38,209
in this deeply
solitary awakening.
891
00:47:39,459 --> 00:47:42,209
That was the day that
the playful penguin race...
892
00:47:42,292 --> 00:47:44,876
-(lightning crashes)
- ...became hell.
893
00:47:44,959 --> 00:47:46,709
(laughter)
894
00:47:48,125 --> 00:47:50,000
So, really the toy is
more of an allegory
895
00:47:50,083 --> 00:47:51,500
for the middle class, I guess.
896
00:47:51,584 --> 00:47:53,792
(laughter)
897
00:47:58,209 --> 00:48:00,792
This next shape...
898
00:48:06,834 --> 00:48:09,334
(laughter)
899
00:48:15,792 --> 00:48:17,459
He's making fun of me.
900
00:48:17,542 --> 00:48:22,375
(laughter and applause)
901
00:48:24,125 --> 00:48:25,751
He's making fun of me.
902
00:48:27,125 --> 00:48:30,751
That's a big swing
for someone you barely know.
903
00:48:30,834 --> 00:48:32,959
(laughter)
904
00:48:35,500 --> 00:48:37,417
Ha-ha, I guess.
905
00:48:39,334 --> 00:48:42,500
My very, very favorite
906
00:48:42,584 --> 00:48:47,000
cartoon character, though,
growing up, my hero
907
00:48:47,083 --> 00:48:48,959
was Daisy Duck.
908
00:48:49,042 --> 00:48:50,626
(laughter)
909
00:48:50,709 --> 00:48:52,667
Daisy Duck, of course,
910
00:48:52,751 --> 00:48:55,500
being the supporting actress
of the Mickey gang.
911
00:48:55,584 --> 00:48:57,626
Right? She didn't get
a lot of screen time,
912
00:48:57,709 --> 00:49:00,417
but when she did,
she earned it.
913
00:49:00,500 --> 00:49:01,918
(laughter)
914
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,042
My parents took me
to Disney World one time.
915
00:49:05,125 --> 00:49:07,292
And to me, it was
just a pilgrimage
916
00:49:07,375 --> 00:49:10,167
to finally meet Daisy.
917
00:49:10,250 --> 00:49:13,876
And we go into the park,
and we see Mickey's house.
918
00:49:13,959 --> 00:49:15,584
And we go inside of it
and I greet Mickey,
919
00:49:15,667 --> 00:49:17,000
and I'm like,
"Okay, we'll wrap it up
920
00:49:17,083 --> 00:49:19,417
-'cause we're going
to Daisy's."
-(laughter)
921
00:49:19,500 --> 00:49:21,292
And then we go into Donald's,
and Donald is there.
922
00:49:21,375 --> 00:49:22,834
And he greets me,
he greets my family.
923
00:49:22,918 --> 00:49:24,459
It's like, "This is very nice.
Thank you for having us,
924
00:49:24,542 --> 00:49:27,000
but we're running late.
I'm going to Daisy's."
925
00:49:27,709 --> 00:49:32,959
And then I see Daisy's door.
926
00:49:33,959 --> 00:49:38,250
And I am so, so excited
that it's finally gonna happen.
927
00:49:39,125 --> 00:49:41,042
And I walk over to the door,
928
00:49:41,125 --> 00:49:45,042
and I see the big,
beautiful, bulbous doorknob.
929
00:49:45,125 --> 00:49:47,042
And I reach towards it,
930
00:49:47,125 --> 00:49:48,918
and I twist,
931
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,834
and then I pull.
932
00:49:52,626 --> 00:49:54,375
But the door won't open.
933
00:49:54,459 --> 00:49:59,167
I pull and I pull and I pull,
but the door just won't open.
934
00:49:59,250 --> 00:50:01,334
So, then I look at my mother,
just panicking
935
00:50:01,417 --> 00:50:03,167
because the door
is not opening.
936
00:50:03,250 --> 00:50:06,083
And then she explains to me
937
00:50:06,167 --> 00:50:09,042
that it was all just a facade.
938
00:50:10,292 --> 00:50:12,250
In that moment,
I became an atheist.
939
00:50:12,334 --> 00:50:15,417
(laughter)
940
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:17,542
She released me.
941
00:50:17,626 --> 00:50:19,876
(laughter)
942
00:50:19,959 --> 00:50:22,083
-(applause)
-And I-- I understand.
943
00:50:22,167 --> 00:50:23,792
Look, I'm not crazy.
944
00:50:23,876 --> 00:50:29,250
-(laughter)
-I understand that the park
has to end at some point.
945
00:50:29,334 --> 00:50:31,000
I understand that
it can't be infinite,
946
00:50:31,083 --> 00:50:33,375
and I understand that maybe
there wasn't enough budget
947
00:50:33,459 --> 00:50:35,584
to build the home
for a pretty minor--
948
00:50:35,667 --> 00:50:38,334
-even though iconic--
character.
-(laughter)
949
00:50:38,417 --> 00:50:40,334
I get all of that.
950
00:50:40,417 --> 00:50:44,375
But I feel like they were
operating under the notion
951
00:50:44,459 --> 00:50:46,667
that the world is
actually pretty simple,
952
00:50:46,751 --> 00:50:48,292
so we might as well
just lie to a kid
953
00:50:48,375 --> 00:50:49,584
with a door
that goes nowhere.
954
00:50:49,667 --> 00:50:50,792
(laughter)
955
00:50:50,876 --> 00:50:53,751
If I had designed the park,
956
00:50:53,834 --> 00:50:59,751
I would've created a miniature
interior of Daisy's house
957
00:50:59,834 --> 00:51:02,667
and put it behind
the little keyhole.
958
00:51:02,751 --> 00:51:06,459
So that when the bizarre little
child comes up to the door...
959
00:51:06,542 --> 00:51:07,834
(laughter)
960
00:51:07,918 --> 00:51:09,876
...and looks
through the keyhole,
961
00:51:10,834 --> 00:51:13,250
they'll feel that even though
962
00:51:13,334 --> 00:51:16,209
they don't have complete
access to everything yet,
963
00:51:16,292 --> 00:51:22,250
and even though you can't
see everything all at once,
964
00:51:22,334 --> 00:51:28,083
there is something so beautiful
just out of reach.
965
00:51:29,125 --> 00:51:34,000
-This is all in an e-mail
I've sent to them several times.
-(laughter)
966
00:51:34,083 --> 00:51:36,876
-But I keep waiting...
-(applause)
967
00:51:36,959 --> 00:51:39,000
...for them to reply
one of these days.
968
00:51:39,083 --> 00:51:41,584
'Cause I'm like, "Hey, just
checking in on Daisy's door."
969
00:51:41,667 --> 00:51:44,125
(laughter)
970
00:51:45,459 --> 00:51:47,959
Of course, what was
frustrating about Daisy's door
971
00:51:48,042 --> 00:51:52,500
is because something
was presented as just that
and nothing more.
972
00:51:52,584 --> 00:51:56,876
The world was explained to me
by oversimplifying it.
973
00:52:03,876 --> 00:52:06,209
But I don't like simple.
974
00:52:06,292 --> 00:52:08,500
(laughter)
975
00:52:13,667 --> 00:52:15,918
I'm sorry, what is that,
you're wondering.
976
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,834
This is
a stiletto-shaped display
977
00:52:19,918 --> 00:52:22,292
for a miniature
stiletto collection.
978
00:52:22,375 --> 00:52:24,042
(laughter)
979
00:52:24,125 --> 00:52:27,709
-I feel seen by this object.
-(laughter)
980
00:52:27,792 --> 00:52:31,292
Note that none of the shoes
involved are to scale.
981
00:52:31,375 --> 00:52:32,626
(laughter)
982
00:52:32,709 --> 00:52:35,584
This is what I feel like
when somebody casually asks,
983
00:52:35,667 --> 00:52:37,918
"So, what do you do?"
And I'm like, "Oh, well,
984
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,334
"it's actually pretty simple.
985
00:52:39,417 --> 00:52:43,250
"I'm just like a big shoe
that is for little shoes.
986
00:52:43,334 --> 00:52:45,459
"And I do have a purpose
987
00:52:45,542 --> 00:52:47,209
"if you have a miniature
shoe collection
988
00:52:47,292 --> 00:52:49,584
"that you want displayed
in a bigger shoe."
989
00:52:49,667 --> 00:52:51,250
"So, yeah, a visa for that."
990
00:52:51,334 --> 00:52:54,417
"That's, uh, sort of what
I bring to the table."
991
00:52:54,500 --> 00:52:57,083
Yeah, pretty-pretty-pretty
straightforward actually.
992
00:52:57,167 --> 00:52:59,000
(laughter)
993
00:52:59,918 --> 00:53:02,667
Now I'll read to you a little
monologue by the shoe.
994
00:53:02,751 --> 00:53:04,751
(laughter)
995
00:53:06,167 --> 00:53:08,375
"Who am I even for?"
996
00:53:08,459 --> 00:53:10,209
(saxophone playing
melancholy melody)
997
00:53:10,292 --> 00:53:13,209
Female voice:
Am I for the little shoes?
998
00:53:13,292 --> 00:53:15,292
Or are the little shoes for me?
999
00:53:16,292 --> 00:53:21,292
I am an idea on top of an idea.
1000
00:53:21,375 --> 00:53:25,500
Look at the little shoes
marching down to my toe.
1001
00:53:25,584 --> 00:53:29,834
If I'm alive, are they?
1002
00:53:29,918 --> 00:53:34,167
I am what happens
when no one says no.
1003
00:53:35,584 --> 00:53:38,918
I sit by the window
and watch other shoes go by,
1004
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,918
real shoes, with real lives,
with real purpose.
1005
00:53:45,834 --> 00:53:47,375
Have you seen that show
1006
00:53:47,459 --> 00:53:49,459
The Assassination
of Gianni Versace,
1007
00:53:49,542 --> 00:53:52,792
where Penelope Cruz, a Spanish
actress with a Spanish accent,
1008
00:53:52,876 --> 00:53:56,417
played an Italian
but does it all in English?
1009
00:53:56,500 --> 00:53:58,292
I am that.
1010
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,500
I'm complicated.
1011
00:54:01,584 --> 00:54:05,500
I'm difficult to explain
and impossible to draw.
1012
00:54:06,667 --> 00:54:08,500
"I am alive."
1013
00:54:08,584 --> 00:54:13,334
(applause)
1014
00:54:17,709 --> 00:54:20,584
And now, our next shape...
1015
00:54:23,918 --> 00:54:26,542
What? What do you want?
1016
00:54:26,626 --> 00:54:28,042
I already dealt with you.
1017
00:54:28,125 --> 00:54:29,626
I guess that's it.
1018
00:54:30,459 --> 00:54:33,751
I have no control over
how many shapes are back there.
1019
00:54:33,834 --> 00:54:35,667
(laughter)
1020
00:54:36,459 --> 00:54:40,250
But what do you...?
Ah, yes, yes, I see.
1021
00:54:40,334 --> 00:54:44,542
-(laughter)
-Look what you've been
hiding all along.

Thank you so much for coming.
