Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,917 --> 00:00:08,709
Dear God,
today is going to be big.
2
00:00:09,583 --> 00:00:11,500
The Gemstones are
an absolute disgrace
3
00:00:11,583 --> 00:00:12,542
to all ministries.
4
00:00:13,458 --> 00:00:15,083
You just threw Jesus
across the room.
5
00:00:15,166 --> 00:00:16,250
It was a karate person.
6
00:00:16,333 --> 00:00:17,417
That was Jesus.
7
00:00:34,083 --> 00:00:35,792
(phone chimes)
8
00:00:35,875 --> 00:00:37,458
(Julio Torres speaking Spanish)
9
00:00:37,542 --> 00:00:40,125
(ethereal music playing)
10
00:00:54,125 --> 00:00:55,250
Uh-huh.
11
00:00:55,959 --> 00:00:56,959
Okay.
12
00:00:57,041 --> 00:00:59,166
(speaks Spanish)
13
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:01,875
(architecture whirring)
14
00:01:01,959 --> 00:01:05,375
(audience cheering, applauding)
15
00:01:05,458 --> 00:01:08,583
Hi. Hi. Hello.
16
00:01:10,625 --> 00:01:11,709
Hello.
17
00:01:11,792 --> 00:01:14,333
(cheers and applause continuing)
18
00:01:20,333 --> 00:01:21,667
Hi. Hi.
19
00:01:21,750 --> 00:01:22,709
Hey. Hello.
20
00:01:22,792 --> 00:01:25,625
Uh, my name is Julio.
21
00:01:25,709 --> 00:01:27,250
I am from El Salvador.
22
00:01:27,333 --> 00:01:29,166
I am an Aquarius,
23
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:33,208
and I am here to show you
my favorite shapes.
24
00:01:33,291 --> 00:01:36,417
I have a lot of shapes
but not a lot of time.
25
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:38,375
So, we have to start
immediately.
26
00:01:38,458 --> 00:01:39,875
(laughter)
27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,333
-Um...
-(conveyor belt whirring)
28
00:01:42,417 --> 00:01:47,500
The first shape
that I want to show you...
29
00:01:49,041 --> 00:01:50,166
um...
30
00:01:51,417 --> 00:01:53,417
(laughter)
31
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,750
This shape-- I'm very excited
that this shape is here.
32
00:01:56,834 --> 00:01:58,250
But when I originally asked
this shape
33
00:01:58,333 --> 00:01:59,792
if he wanted to do
the show,
34
00:01:59,875 --> 00:02:02,583
he was like a little
hesitant about it,
35
00:02:02,667 --> 00:02:06,750
a little worried that
we were gonna find him
36
00:02:06,834 --> 00:02:09,667
to be mainstream, I guess?
37
00:02:10,333 --> 00:02:12,333
But I'm like,
what are you talking about?
38
00:02:12,417 --> 00:02:14,959
Everyone... loves a square.
39
00:02:15,041 --> 00:02:16,375
(laughter)
40
00:02:16,458 --> 00:02:17,959
Some of you may be
seeing a square
41
00:02:18,041 --> 00:02:20,417
for the very, very
first time right now.
42
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:23,792
-(laughter)
-Some of you have seen
a square before.
43
00:02:23,875 --> 00:02:26,458
For those of you who don't know,
44
00:02:26,542 --> 00:02:32,083
a square is roughly
the shape of a door...
45
00:02:32,166 --> 00:02:34,166
(laughter)
46
00:02:36,709 --> 00:02:38,709
...but not quite.
47
00:02:38,792 --> 00:02:39,917
(laughter)
48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,458
It's a little bit more
complicated than that.
49
00:02:42,542 --> 00:02:43,500
(laughter)
50
00:02:43,583 --> 00:02:46,792
In order for this show
to happen,
51
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:50,667
a lawyer had to look
at all of my shapes
52
00:02:50,750 --> 00:02:54,834
and decide whether or not
they were clearable for air.
53
00:02:54,917 --> 00:02:57,542
(laughter)
54
00:02:57,625 --> 00:03:00,125
She looked at every
single one of them,
55
00:03:00,208 --> 00:03:02,625
and after that process
concluded,
56
00:03:02,709 --> 00:03:06,333
completely unprompted
and out of nowhere,
57
00:03:06,417 --> 00:03:10,125
she goes, "And my favorite
shape was the square."
58
00:03:10,208 --> 00:03:12,375
(laughter)
59
00:03:14,125 --> 00:03:15,625
Oh.
60
00:03:16,583 --> 00:03:17,875
Beautiful little lawyer.
61
00:03:17,959 --> 00:03:20,125
You think we have you
all figured out, don't you?
62
00:03:20,208 --> 00:03:22,333
(laughter)
63
00:03:22,417 --> 00:03:25,750
The next shape that
I need to show you...
64
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:31,041
is a rectangle having
a really bad day.
65
00:03:31,125 --> 00:03:33,125
(laughter)
66
00:03:39,834 --> 00:03:42,250
This is an oval...
67
00:03:43,250 --> 00:03:45,792
looking at his reflection
at a pond...
68
00:03:45,875 --> 00:03:51,625
-(laughter)
-...wishing, oh just wishing,
he were a circle.
69
00:03:51,709 --> 00:03:54,291
(laughter)
70
00:03:56,750 --> 00:04:00,333
The next shape is a sphere
71
00:04:00,417 --> 00:04:03,333
who you may recognize
for her current role
72
00:04:03,417 --> 00:04:05,041
as a Ferrero Rocher chocolate.
73
00:04:05,125 --> 00:04:07,458
(laughter)
74
00:04:07,542 --> 00:04:10,750
Originally, we had booked
a different Ferrero Rocher
chocolate
75
00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:13,750
to play this part,
but then I was backstage
76
00:04:13,834 --> 00:04:16,709
and I was like, "Places,
places!" And like...
77
00:04:18,583 --> 00:04:22,875
I'm sorry, but where's
your little skirt?
78
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:24,834
(laughter)
79
00:04:24,917 --> 00:04:26,917
And she was like,
"No, I can do it."
80
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,208
(laughter)
81
00:04:30,542 --> 00:04:32,959
No, honey,
I know you can do it,
82
00:04:33,041 --> 00:04:35,750
but if you're not in costume,
I don't know what to tell you.
83
00:04:35,834 --> 00:04:38,375
-(laughter)
-And then this one was like,
84
00:04:38,458 --> 00:04:40,917
-"I can do it."
-(laughter)
85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,750
It's a cruel, cruel business.
86
00:04:42,834 --> 00:04:44,667
(laughter)
87
00:04:46,125 --> 00:04:47,709
The next shape...
88
00:04:51,583 --> 00:04:53,166
is a pyramid second.
89
00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:56,417
But first, it is one of my
favorite kinds of shapes,
90
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:58,166
which is, uh, clear
91
00:04:58,250 --> 00:05:00,875
with a little animal
trapped inside of it.
92
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:03,166
(laughter)
93
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:06,542
As I was preparing this show,
94
00:05:06,625 --> 00:05:09,750
and I was deciding which shapes
were gonna go in which order
95
00:05:09,834 --> 00:05:12,166
and I was weighing out the pros
and cons of all of them,
96
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:13,917
thinking which one
of them were stars,
97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,458
which ones were
more supporting.
98
00:05:16,542 --> 00:05:20,166
-(laughter)
-And as I was just
deciding all of that,
99
00:05:20,250 --> 00:05:23,250
I thought, oh, I'm sorry.
Is this one of the many
good jobs
100
00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:25,750
that I'm stealing from
hardworking Americans?
101
00:05:25,834 --> 00:05:28,208
-(laughter)
-Because...
102
00:05:29,125 --> 00:05:32,041
Look, I'm just doing it
'cause no one else was doing it
103
00:05:32,125 --> 00:05:33,458
and it needed to be done.
104
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:35,291
(laughter)
105
00:05:38,625 --> 00:05:41,500
But notice what happens
to this shape
106
00:05:41,583 --> 00:05:45,041
once you begin to expand on
the same basic principle of it.
107
00:05:45,125 --> 00:05:47,041
All of a sudden...
108
00:05:47,125 --> 00:05:51,458
it turns into
Tilda Swinton's apartment.
109
00:05:51,542 --> 00:05:53,250
(laughter)
110
00:05:53,333 --> 00:05:55,583
This is where the guests sleep.
111
00:05:55,667 --> 00:05:57,417
(laughter)
112
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:00,667
And this tells them
when it's time to go home.
113
00:06:00,750 --> 00:06:03,583
(laughter)
114
00:06:05,375 --> 00:06:08,208
The next shape that
I want to show you...
115
00:06:09,750 --> 00:06:12,333
is a very basic geometric shape.
116
00:06:12,417 --> 00:06:15,792
It is the harp of time.
117
00:06:17,709 --> 00:06:19,041
Be careful with
the harp of time.
118
00:06:19,125 --> 00:06:20,375
Don't play it too quickly,
119
00:06:20,458 --> 00:06:23,000
or you might end up yesterday.
120
00:06:23,083 --> 00:06:25,166
(laughter)
121
00:06:27,792 --> 00:06:32,583
The next shape that
I need to show you, um...
122
00:06:32,667 --> 00:06:35,125
Oh, this is actually--
this is actually pretty simple.
123
00:06:35,208 --> 00:06:37,667
This is me coming in late
for a meeting
124
00:06:37,750 --> 00:06:39,333
and immediately chiming in.
125
00:06:39,417 --> 00:06:41,834
(laughter)
126
00:06:41,917 --> 00:06:46,583
There's something about this
shape that I should confess,
127
00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:49,750
something that I have
to come clean about.
128
00:06:49,834 --> 00:06:53,417
And that is that this cactus
129
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,542
is not the first occupant
of this vessel.
130
00:06:57,625 --> 00:06:59,083
(laughter)
131
00:06:59,166 --> 00:07:02,166
This vessel used to hold
another cactus,
132
00:07:02,250 --> 00:07:06,542
-but I killed it.
-(laughter)
133
00:07:06,625 --> 00:07:10,750
Turns out a cactus needs
very little water,
134
00:07:10,834 --> 00:07:12,583
sunlight,
135
00:07:12,667 --> 00:07:17,417
and not a lot of shaking
around the apartment.
136
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:18,583
(laughter)
137
00:07:18,667 --> 00:07:22,583
And now, I have begun to fear
138
00:07:22,667 --> 00:07:25,875
that this new cactus knows
139
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:30,000
that seconds before it arrived
into my apartment,
140
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:32,834
I, with my bare hands,
141
00:07:32,917 --> 00:07:36,625
excavated the corpse
of his predecessor,
142
00:07:36,709 --> 00:07:41,000
threw it out,
wiped the vessel clean,
143
00:07:41,083 --> 00:07:45,041
and said, "Oh, look,
a new home for you."
144
00:07:45,125 --> 00:07:47,000
(laughter)
145
00:07:47,083 --> 00:07:50,000
And by the way, I can speak
freely in front of this cactus
146
00:07:50,083 --> 00:07:52,125
because he doesn't speak
any English.
147
00:07:52,208 --> 00:07:53,458
(laughter)
148
00:07:53,542 --> 00:07:55,792
But I went through his diary...
149
00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:57,709
(laughter)
150
00:07:58,792 --> 00:08:02,291
...and I found this.
(clears throat)
151
00:08:02,375 --> 00:08:04,458
(ethereal music playing)
152
00:08:04,542 --> 00:08:08,250
"I feel like I have been
here before..."
153
00:08:08,333 --> 00:08:10,542
(male voice speaking Spanish)
154
00:09:00,750 --> 00:09:05,000
Julio:
"Silly Cactus,
we have a show to do."
155
00:09:05,083 --> 00:09:06,834
(laughter)
156
00:09:08,291 --> 00:09:11,750
(cheers and applause)
157
00:09:16,542 --> 00:09:18,291
A fact about me...
158
00:09:19,792 --> 00:09:21,542
is that I--
159
00:09:21,625 --> 00:09:24,500
I wholeheartedly believe...
160
00:09:25,875 --> 00:09:27,375
in reincarnation.
161
00:09:27,458 --> 00:09:33,458
Because I know-- I just know
in my heart that I was
162
00:09:33,542 --> 00:09:38,291
the Trojan guard who
saw the Trojan horse
approach the gates...
163
00:09:38,375 --> 00:09:40,542
(laughter)
164
00:09:40,625 --> 00:09:43,625
...and was like, "Let it in."
165
00:09:43,709 --> 00:09:45,709
(laughter)
166
00:09:48,458 --> 00:09:52,750
"Oh my God, it's a big
fucking beautiful horse!
167
00:09:52,834 --> 00:09:54,375
"Open the gates and let it in.
168
00:09:54,458 --> 00:09:56,375
No questions asked.
I don't care."
169
00:09:56,458 --> 00:09:57,875
(laughter)
170
00:09:57,959 --> 00:10:02,250
Like any of you would see
a big fucking beautiful horse
171
00:10:02,333 --> 00:10:04,208
come to your apartment
and you wouldn't let it in.
172
00:10:04,291 --> 00:10:06,125
-No questions asked.
-(laughter)
173
00:10:10,250 --> 00:10:15,208
One of my very favorite
TV shows growing up
174
00:10:15,291 --> 00:10:16,959
was The Flintstones.
175
00:10:17,041 --> 00:10:21,417
But there was always
something that I found
176
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:23,959
a little puzzling
about The Flintstones.
177
00:10:24,041 --> 00:10:28,291
And that is that I would see
so many scenes
178
00:10:28,375 --> 00:10:31,750
with Fred and Barney
hanging out.
179
00:10:31,834 --> 00:10:36,125
And some scenes with
Wilma and Betty hanging out.
180
00:10:36,208 --> 00:10:38,041
And enough scenes
with the couples
181
00:10:38,125 --> 00:10:39,542
just doing their own thing.
182
00:10:39,625 --> 00:10:44,875
But never once in the history
of The Flintstones
183
00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:48,667
was there a scene
where Fred Flintstone
184
00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:52,041
and his friend's wife
Betty Rubble
185
00:10:52,125 --> 00:10:55,125
had to be alone
in the same room together.
186
00:10:55,208 --> 00:10:57,041
(laughter)
187
00:10:57,125 --> 00:10:59,750
This next scene explores
what it would be like...
188
00:10:59,834 --> 00:11:02,000
(laughter)
189
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,375
if Fred Flintstone
and Betty Rubble
190
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:10,250
had to be alone
in the same room together
191
00:11:10,333 --> 00:11:12,208
for the first time
in their lives.
192
00:11:13,166 --> 00:11:15,417
(cartoonish music playing)
193
00:11:18,083 --> 00:11:20,500
"Betty Rubble answered the door.
194
00:11:20,583 --> 00:11:23,041
"It was none other
than Fred Flintstone.
195
00:11:24,250 --> 00:11:28,458
"'Oh, hi Fred. Are you
looking for Barney?'"
196
00:11:28,542 --> 00:11:31,375
'"Yeah. Is he around?'"
197
00:11:34,125 --> 00:11:36,834
"'He just stepped out,
but did you wanna--
198
00:11:36,917 --> 00:11:39,750
"'I'm sorry, did you want
to wait inside?'"
199
00:11:40,834 --> 00:11:42,959
"'Oh, so he's not
here right now?'"
200
00:11:44,417 --> 00:11:47,083
"'No, but did you wanna...?'"
201
00:11:47,166 --> 00:11:50,792
"'Right. Um, yeah, sure.'"
202
00:11:51,959 --> 00:11:54,959
"Both parties began
to dread the small talk."
203
00:11:55,667 --> 00:11:59,792
"'Oh, I'm sorry, Fred.
No shoes in the house.'"
204
00:11:59,875 --> 00:12:01,875
(laughter)
205
00:12:01,959 --> 00:12:03,583
"'Excuse me?'"
206
00:12:04,542 --> 00:12:06,291
"'No shoes in the house.'"
207
00:12:06,917 --> 00:12:09,583
(scoffs)
"'No, I... I heard you,
208
00:12:09,667 --> 00:12:11,875
but literally no one
wears shoes.'"
209
00:12:11,959 --> 00:12:13,583
(laughter)
210
00:12:14,417 --> 00:12:17,458
"'Seems kind of silly
for that to be a rule.'"
211
00:12:18,083 --> 00:12:21,333
"'Huh, well, I'm sorry
you find me silly, Fred.'"
212
00:12:21,417 --> 00:12:22,875
(laughter)
213
00:12:22,959 --> 00:12:25,750
"'No, I don't think
you're silly. I think
the rule is silly,
214
00:12:25,834 --> 00:12:28,000
"'because it's not
a problem that you have.
215
00:12:28,083 --> 00:12:29,291
Like, why would you
even say that?'"
216
00:12:29,375 --> 00:12:31,333
"'Okay, Fred. Next time
I wanna say something,
217
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:34,166
I'll just ask you whether or not
I can say it in my house.'"
218
00:12:34,250 --> 00:12:36,250
(laughter)
219
00:12:36,333 --> 00:12:39,500
(stammering):
"'That is not what I'm saying.'"
220
00:12:39,583 --> 00:12:40,750
"'And now you're raising
your voice.'"
221
00:12:40,834 --> 00:12:42,375
"'I don't think I'm raising
my voice.'"
222
00:12:42,458 --> 00:12:45,041
"'No, you are. You're screaming
at me in my own house, Fred.'"
223
00:12:45,125 --> 00:12:48,375
"'I am not.'"
"'Fred. Fred. Fred...
224
00:12:50,166 --> 00:12:52,500
Why don't we just
change the subject?'"
225
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:55,750
"The silence was potent.
226
00:12:56,458 --> 00:13:00,250
You could hear
a pterodactyl flying
from miles and miles away."
227
00:13:00,333 --> 00:13:02,333
(laughter)
228
00:13:03,917 --> 00:13:05,750
(sighs)
229
00:13:05,834 --> 00:13:07,792
"Yabba-dabba-doo."
230
00:13:07,875 --> 00:13:11,083
(laughter and applause)
231
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:13,250
(cartoonish music plays)
232
00:13:13,333 --> 00:13:14,625
So, um...
233
00:13:14,709 --> 00:13:19,458
That little story wasn't so much
about the shapes themselves
234
00:13:19,542 --> 00:13:22,375
as it was about
the negative space...
235
00:13:22,458 --> 00:13:23,458
(laughter)
236
00:13:23,542 --> 00:13:25,542
...surrounding the shapes.
237
00:13:26,917 --> 00:13:30,375
Um... have you ever seen
238
00:13:30,458 --> 00:13:34,792
the television show
House Hunters ?
239
00:13:34,875 --> 00:13:36,792
If you haven't seen
House Hunters,
240
00:13:36,875 --> 00:13:40,166
just allow yourself to have
the most passive experience
241
00:13:40,250 --> 00:13:42,500
a human being
could possibly have.
242
00:13:43,834 --> 00:13:45,875
Allow yourself
to just be like...
243
00:13:46,875 --> 00:13:49,208
(laughter)
244
00:13:54,417 --> 00:13:56,917
"Oh, no garage.
He's not gonna like that."
245
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,083
(laughter)
246
00:14:00,375 --> 00:14:03,625
I had a dream
about the television show
House Hunters,
247
00:14:03,709 --> 00:14:06,917
and in this dream
I was a real estate agent
248
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,333
who had to show a client
three different properties.
249
00:14:10,417 --> 00:14:13,208
Except this client was
a little hermit crab,
250
00:14:13,291 --> 00:14:16,667
so I had to show him
three different shells.
251
00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:18,542
The first shell I showed him
252
00:14:18,625 --> 00:14:22,667
was a really good shell,
really good location
right by the shore.
253
00:14:22,750 --> 00:14:26,208
Move-in ready, but definitely
a little over his budget.
254
00:14:26,917 --> 00:14:31,166
The second shell I showed him,
comfortably within his budget,
255
00:14:31,250 --> 00:14:32,792
a bit of a fixer-upper,
256
00:14:32,875 --> 00:14:35,083
a little farther away
from the shore,
257
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:37,500
but definitely within reason.
258
00:14:38,458 --> 00:14:40,709
And then the third shell
I showed him...
259
00:14:40,792 --> 00:14:43,375
was a ranch-style shell.
260
00:14:43,458 --> 00:14:45,417
(laughter)
261
00:14:52,709 --> 00:14:54,834
Do you remember...
262
00:14:56,083 --> 00:14:58,542
the Disney animated film
263
00:14:58,625 --> 00:15:00,834
The Hunchback of Notre Dame ?
264
00:15:01,625 --> 00:15:04,709
It wasn't a hit,
but it was there.
265
00:15:04,792 --> 00:15:07,375
It's just sort of what
we got that year.
266
00:15:07,458 --> 00:15:09,375
(laughter)
267
00:15:09,458 --> 00:15:14,083
Sometimes we get lions,
sometimes we get genies,
268
00:15:14,166 --> 00:15:17,792
sometimes we get a tender
Parisian drama for the children.
269
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,000
(laughter)
270
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:25,458
But a part about that movie
that really, really stayed
with me
271
00:15:25,542 --> 00:15:27,166
was its villain.
272
00:15:27,250 --> 00:15:30,667
This withering,
possibly-closeted,
273
00:15:30,750 --> 00:15:32,917
deeply-troubled little man
274
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,208
named Monsignor Claude Frollo.
275
00:15:35,291 --> 00:15:38,000
And during the peak
of his narrative arc,
276
00:15:38,083 --> 00:15:42,500
Monsignor Claude Frollo sings
into the roaring flames
of the fire
277
00:15:42,583 --> 00:15:45,959
about his lust for
the gypsy girl Esmeralda.
278
00:15:46,041 --> 00:15:51,917
And in that moment,
we see him turn lust
279
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,333
into misogyny,
into essentially genocide.
280
00:15:57,417 --> 00:16:00,291
Anyway, that was
a Happy Meal toy.
281
00:16:00,375 --> 00:16:02,333
(laughter)
282
00:16:04,792 --> 00:16:07,875
(applause)
283
00:16:11,542 --> 00:16:15,333
(laughter)
284
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:18,959
So, while some children
were playing
285
00:16:19,041 --> 00:16:23,667
with like a Ninja turtle
or a Transformer,
286
00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:25,792
others were like, "Oh, yeah,
mine is this sort of
287
00:16:25,875 --> 00:16:28,083
"like, medieval court justice.
288
00:16:28,166 --> 00:16:29,417
"Uh, he's morally bankrupt.
289
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:31,750
"Uh, there's a lot
of self-hate in him.
290
00:16:31,834 --> 00:16:34,417
"And that combined with power
just makes him lash out
291
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:36,792
"in really toxic and scary ways.
292
00:16:36,875 --> 00:16:39,458
And sometimes, I don't know,
I put him in a little car."
293
00:16:39,542 --> 00:16:41,875
(laughter)
294
00:16:45,208 --> 00:16:49,458
Um, my favorite color is clear.
295
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:51,291
(laughter)
296
00:16:51,375 --> 00:16:53,959
I love the color clear.
297
00:16:54,041 --> 00:16:56,166
And I distinctly
remember the moment
298
00:16:56,250 --> 00:16:59,500
where I was confronted for
my love with the color clear.
299
00:16:59,583 --> 00:17:04,125
That was when I saw for
the very first time in my life
300
00:17:04,208 --> 00:17:06,875
Cinderella's pretty little feet
301
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:10,583
go into that glass slipper.
302
00:17:10,667 --> 00:17:13,500
When I saw that,
I was like,
303
00:17:13,583 --> 00:17:16,959
"What is that?"
304
00:17:17,041 --> 00:17:19,375
(laughter)
305
00:17:19,458 --> 00:17:22,500
"Mother, let's rewind."
306
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:23,875
(laughter)
307
00:17:23,959 --> 00:17:25,375
And she'd be like,
"Rewind to what?"
308
00:17:25,458 --> 00:17:27,291
I'm like, "You know to what."
309
00:17:27,375 --> 00:17:28,625
(laughter)
310
00:17:28,709 --> 00:17:30,333
"Show me the shoe."
311
00:17:30,417 --> 00:17:31,834
(laughter)
312
00:17:33,250 --> 00:17:37,125
But something that I've been
thinking a lot about recently,
313
00:17:37,208 --> 00:17:41,041
and it didn't hit me
until a few days ago--
314
00:17:41,125 --> 00:17:44,458
Okay, remember that scene
in Cinderella
315
00:17:44,542 --> 00:17:48,375
where she has to rush out of
the ball because it's midnight,
316
00:17:48,458 --> 00:17:51,041
and she leaves behind
the glass slipper.
317
00:17:51,125 --> 00:17:52,709
Then the prince finds the shoe,
318
00:17:52,792 --> 00:17:55,917
and this is all
he has left of her.
319
00:17:56,792 --> 00:18:01,083
But presumably there's a scene
where the prince takes the shoe,
320
00:18:01,166 --> 00:18:03,458
and he goes to his subjects
and he goes,
321
00:18:03,542 --> 00:18:06,500
"Have every maiden
in the kingdom try this on
322
00:18:06,583 --> 00:18:11,417
until you find the girl
I met at the ball."
323
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:13,875
But I bet they were like...
324
00:18:15,250 --> 00:18:18,125
-"Or..."
-(laughter)
325
00:18:18,208 --> 00:18:21,667
"You could just come with us
and look at their faces."
326
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:23,834
(laughter)
327
00:18:30,417 --> 00:18:32,041
And the prince was
probably like,
328
00:18:32,125 --> 00:18:33,750
(scoffs)
329
00:18:33,834 --> 00:18:36,333
"Okay, but how would
we use the shoe?
330
00:18:36,417 --> 00:18:38,166
(laughter)
331
00:18:39,917 --> 00:18:43,875
Just because you have a tool
doesn't mean you have to use it.
332
00:18:43,959 --> 00:18:47,417
(laughter and applause)
333
00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:49,291
I don't know if you can tell,
334
00:18:49,375 --> 00:18:52,625
but as a child I really loved
playing with toys.
335
00:18:52,709 --> 00:18:55,625
This might have been
something that maybe
would've hit you tomorrow,
336
00:18:55,709 --> 00:18:58,625
-but I'm telling you now.
-(laughter)
337
00:18:58,709 --> 00:19:01,291
My happiest moments
were really just
338
00:19:01,375 --> 00:19:05,875
me by myself in my room playing.
339
00:19:05,959 --> 00:19:08,792
And something that would
happen sometimes is that
340
00:19:08,875 --> 00:19:13,166
we had this dog
who... I was so-so on.
341
00:19:13,250 --> 00:19:15,792
-And it was mutual.
-(laughter)
342
00:19:15,875 --> 00:19:19,291
And this dog-- this puppy
at this time--
343
00:19:19,375 --> 00:19:22,125
would chew on some of my toys.
344
00:19:22,208 --> 00:19:24,834
And I would come back
and find them disfigured.
345
00:19:24,917 --> 00:19:26,667
Whenever that happened,
346
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:28,917
my mother would
rush to the store
347
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,375
and find the exact same one.
348
00:19:32,458 --> 00:19:36,041
And then I would
perform a little ritual...
349
00:19:37,083 --> 00:19:42,166
that I, in my head,
called the "transference."
350
00:19:42,250 --> 00:19:44,542
(laughter)
351
00:19:44,625 --> 00:19:50,166
Where I would take the soul
of my old friend...
352
00:19:50,250 --> 00:19:51,458
(laughter)
353
00:19:51,542 --> 00:19:53,917
...and whoosh it away
from its body
354
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,375
and deposit it
onto its new vessel.
355
00:19:57,458 --> 00:20:00,959
And then I'd be like,
"Great! I can play again."
356
00:20:01,041 --> 00:20:03,083
(laughter)
357
00:20:04,250 --> 00:20:06,542
(applause)
358
00:20:08,417 --> 00:20:11,583
My parents really did
encourage me...
359
00:20:12,458 --> 00:20:15,542
to just truly believe that like
anything was possible,
360
00:20:15,625 --> 00:20:17,625
which I think that
that was connected
361
00:20:17,709 --> 00:20:19,792
to just, like, me being
in my little room, like,
362
00:20:19,875 --> 00:20:21,625
pretending to be
different things.
363
00:20:21,709 --> 00:20:25,250
But that encouragement really,
really, really backfired
364
00:20:25,333 --> 00:20:28,750
when I told them that I wanted
to move to the United States
365
00:20:28,834 --> 00:20:32,542
to pursue... uh, this.
366
00:20:32,625 --> 00:20:34,625
(laughter)
367
00:20:37,041 --> 00:20:41,792
And now we go
on a little journey.
368
00:20:41,875 --> 00:20:45,417
-(visor chimes)
-(laughter)
369
00:20:46,291 --> 00:20:49,000
(laughter)
370
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:51,792
Follow me.
371
00:20:52,667 --> 00:20:56,000
(cheering and applause)
372
00:20:59,750 --> 00:21:03,000
Something fun about these
373
00:21:03,083 --> 00:21:06,875
is that these aren't
so much video glasses
374
00:21:06,959 --> 00:21:08,750
because they have
a slight delay.
375
00:21:08,834 --> 00:21:10,792
So, they're not
so much video glasses
376
00:21:10,875 --> 00:21:13,125
as they are a window...
377
00:21:14,375 --> 00:21:17,291
-into the past.
-(laughter)
378
00:21:19,625 --> 00:21:21,250
And why does
he wear them you ask.
379
00:21:21,333 --> 00:21:23,250
Well, because
if I didn't wear them,
380
00:21:23,333 --> 00:21:26,250
how would you know what
happened from there to here?
381
00:21:26,333 --> 00:21:27,875
(laughter)
382
00:21:27,959 --> 00:21:31,208
-How am I ever gonna know?
-(laughter)
383
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,291
But now I'm here.
384
00:21:34,375 --> 00:21:35,959
I have traveled. Hello.
385
00:21:36,041 --> 00:21:39,500
(applause)
386
00:21:40,750 --> 00:21:45,959
I will now very abruptly
do some impressions at you.
387
00:21:46,041 --> 00:21:47,667
(laughter)
388
00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:48,792
Okay.
389
00:21:48,875 --> 00:21:52,709
Here's the first one.
(clears throat)
390
00:21:54,875 --> 00:21:56,125
"Do not rush me!
391
00:21:56,208 --> 00:21:58,083
The water will be ready
when it's ready!"
392
00:21:58,166 --> 00:22:01,041
-(laughter)
-That is...
393
00:22:01,792 --> 00:22:04,542
-a Brita filter.
-(laughter)
394
00:22:11,709 --> 00:22:14,500
You know, Brita filters,
they're not...
395
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:16,792
they're not seamstresses,
they're designers.
396
00:22:16,875 --> 00:22:20,000
You need to give them time
to do what they do.
397
00:22:20,083 --> 00:22:22,583
And often you'll come back and
be like, "Well, is it ready?"
398
00:22:22,667 --> 00:22:26,125
And it's like, "No,
you gotta let an artist
do what an artist does."
399
00:22:26,208 --> 00:22:28,250
(laughter)
400
00:22:31,625 --> 00:22:33,875
Okay, here's another one.
(clears throat)
401
00:22:35,542 --> 00:22:37,750
(scoffs)
"Okay, well, I'm sorry
if you don't like what I do,
402
00:22:37,834 --> 00:22:39,583
"and I'm sorry if you don't
like what I stand for.
403
00:22:39,667 --> 00:22:41,750
"But I actually
keep the economy going,
and my job is pretty important.
404
00:22:41,834 --> 00:22:43,375
"I'm sorry if you
can't handle that,
but we live in
405
00:22:43,458 --> 00:22:44,667
a nation of laws,
and rules are rules.
406
00:22:44,750 --> 00:22:46,834
I'm sorry if you
can't handle that."
407
00:22:46,917 --> 00:22:49,625
-That is...
-(laughter)
408
00:22:50,792 --> 00:22:55,125
That nasty little curtain that
divides first class from coach.
409
00:22:55,208 --> 00:22:57,959
(laughter)
410
00:23:00,166 --> 00:23:02,125
And look, I understand
that it's a job
411
00:23:02,208 --> 00:23:05,333
and that some curtain
has to do it.
412
00:23:05,417 --> 00:23:10,208
But to be a curtain and pick
that as your curtain job,
413
00:23:10,291 --> 00:23:13,208
it's like, "Who are you? Why?"
414
00:23:13,291 --> 00:23:14,792
(laughter)
415
00:23:14,875 --> 00:23:17,041
And I bet that if you were
to talk to this curtain,
416
00:23:17,125 --> 00:23:19,834
the curtain would be like,
"Well, you know, I wanted
to be in theater,
417
00:23:19,917 --> 00:23:22,291
but things don't
always work out."
418
00:23:22,375 --> 00:23:24,125
(laughter)
419
00:23:28,750 --> 00:23:33,166
But at least that curtain is
sort of serving a purpose
420
00:23:33,250 --> 00:23:36,959
that I don't fully agree with,
but it is doing something.
421
00:23:37,041 --> 00:23:42,709
To me, though,
the most utterly psychotic
422
00:23:42,792 --> 00:23:45,375
of all the curtains
in the world...
423
00:23:49,333 --> 00:23:52,709
are the curtains that are hung
in a basement...
424
00:23:53,333 --> 00:23:55,583
as to give the illusion
of a window.
425
00:23:55,667 --> 00:23:57,291
(laughter)
426
00:23:57,375 --> 00:23:59,583
Curtains that tell you,
427
00:23:59,667 --> 00:24:02,333
"Well, we don't know.
There might be a window."
428
00:24:02,417 --> 00:24:04,250
But it's like, "No, we know."
429
00:24:04,333 --> 00:24:06,542
(laughter)
430
00:24:06,625 --> 00:24:08,166
"What are you doing?"
431
00:24:09,417 --> 00:24:11,417
That is religion right there.
432
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:16,000
(laughter and applause)
433
00:24:16,083 --> 00:24:17,458
It's just this
whole thing of like,
434
00:24:17,542 --> 00:24:20,458
"Well, you know, actually
there might be something."
435
00:24:20,542 --> 00:24:21,959
It's like, "There isn't."
436
00:24:22,041 --> 00:24:23,250
(laughter)
437
00:24:23,333 --> 00:24:25,125
And as soon as
we acknowledge that,
438
00:24:25,208 --> 00:24:27,083
we can live a happy life
and move on.
439
00:24:27,166 --> 00:24:30,083
(cheering and applause)
440
00:24:34,083 --> 00:24:38,875
But going back to the curtain
that divides first class
from coach,
441
00:24:38,959 --> 00:24:42,417
I was on this flight,
not long ago,
442
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:44,834
and it was
a very small airplane.
443
00:24:44,917 --> 00:24:46,917
You could tell that
it had been remodeled
444
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,625
so as to accommodate
first class,
445
00:24:48,709 --> 00:24:50,333
that the original design
of the airplane
446
00:24:50,417 --> 00:24:51,875
had only coach seats.
447
00:24:51,959 --> 00:24:54,291
But when they built
in the first class,
448
00:24:54,375 --> 00:24:56,375
they left one flaw,
449
00:24:56,458 --> 00:24:59,500
which is that the first
row of coach seats,
450
00:24:59,583 --> 00:25:02,041
the second seat
on that first row
451
00:25:02,125 --> 00:25:05,834
didn't have a first-class seat
directly in front of it.
452
00:25:05,917 --> 00:25:08,333
But it actually had the hallway.
453
00:25:08,417 --> 00:25:10,709
I was sitting on that seat.
454
00:25:10,792 --> 00:25:13,166
And when the flight
attendant came over
455
00:25:13,250 --> 00:25:17,542
and she drew the curtain
dividing the people,
456
00:25:17,625 --> 00:25:21,500
the curtain fell right
in front of my face,
457
00:25:21,583 --> 00:25:24,834
like I was this little secret
for first class.
458
00:25:24,917 --> 00:25:30,125
And when it crossed my legs,
my knee gently caressed
the curtain,
459
00:25:30,208 --> 00:25:32,000
causing it to fall.
460
00:25:32,083 --> 00:25:34,500
(laughter)
461
00:25:34,583 --> 00:25:36,417
So, then the flight
attendant came over
462
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:38,208
and reattached
the curtain very quickly.
463
00:25:38,291 --> 00:25:42,166
And then I said, "The curtain's
just gonna fall all over again
464
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:44,709
"the second I make
the slightest movement.
465
00:25:44,792 --> 00:25:47,208
Can you please not put it up?"
466
00:25:47,291 --> 00:25:48,917
And then she goes...
467
00:25:50,166 --> 00:25:53,542
-"No, we-- we have to."
-(laughter)
468
00:25:53,625 --> 00:25:57,875
And I'm like, "Well, okay,
but I'm just gonna make
the slightest movement again,
469
00:25:57,959 --> 00:26:00,667
"and the curtain's just gonna
fall all over again.
470
00:26:00,750 --> 00:26:03,709
Can we please not put it up?"
471
00:26:03,792 --> 00:26:06,959
And she goes,
"No, we have to."
472
00:26:07,041 --> 00:26:08,834
(laughter)
473
00:26:08,917 --> 00:26:10,959
And then I asked...
474
00:26:14,625 --> 00:26:17,834
-"Why?"
-(laughter)
475
00:26:17,917 --> 00:26:19,500
And in her eye...
476
00:26:20,792 --> 00:26:24,375
I saw flowers blooming,
meteors falling,
477
00:26:24,458 --> 00:26:26,083
and animals decomposing.
478
00:26:26,166 --> 00:26:27,709
(laughter)
479
00:26:27,792 --> 00:26:30,709
And suddenly, she was free.
480
00:26:30,792 --> 00:26:32,542
(laughter)
481
00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:35,667
-She had been released.
-(cheering and applause)
482
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,625
These next shapes
I'm so excited to show you.
483
00:26:43,792 --> 00:26:46,041
(laughter)
484
00:26:49,583 --> 00:26:52,417
So, I went to the zoo recently,
485
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:55,291
and I was very underwhelmed
by the silhouettes
486
00:26:55,375 --> 00:26:57,333
-that I saw at the zoo.
-(laughter)
487
00:26:57,417 --> 00:26:58,917
It just felt like
more of the same,
488
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,917
like all these animals
I've seen before.
489
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,417
So, I am going
to present this zoo
490
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:06,750
with ideas for new animals
for them to make.
491
00:27:06,834 --> 00:27:09,583
(laughter)
492
00:27:09,667 --> 00:27:12,542
The first idea is how about...
493
00:27:13,875 --> 00:27:16,333
a swan with a neck so, so long
494
00:27:16,417 --> 00:27:18,375
that he must drag
his head behind him.
495
00:27:18,458 --> 00:27:20,125
(laughter)
496
00:27:20,208 --> 00:27:22,083
Beauty is a curse.
497
00:27:22,166 --> 00:27:23,458
(laughter)
498
00:27:23,542 --> 00:27:26,875
And this swan knows that
very, very well.
499
00:27:28,792 --> 00:27:32,291
Or how about a flamingo
that's like,
500
00:27:32,375 --> 00:27:35,041
"You know what?
I'm just gonna use both legs."
501
00:27:35,125 --> 00:27:37,000
(laughter)
502
00:27:37,083 --> 00:27:39,792
Or a platypus that's like,
503
00:27:39,875 --> 00:27:42,625
"Bisexuality is real,
and so am I."
504
00:27:42,709 --> 00:27:44,500
(laughter)
505
00:27:46,083 --> 00:27:51,166
Or how about a little porcupine
who removed all of his quills
506
00:27:51,250 --> 00:27:55,083
so as not to hurt
his non-porcupine lover?
507
00:27:55,166 --> 00:27:57,000
And now he looks
at his reflection
508
00:27:57,083 --> 00:27:59,417
and can no longer
recognize himself.
509
00:27:59,500 --> 00:28:00,667
(laughter)
510
00:28:00,750 --> 00:28:03,333
These are all Happy Meal toys,
too, by the way.
511
00:28:03,417 --> 00:28:04,458
(laughter)
512
00:28:04,542 --> 00:28:06,000
So, some kids
are gonna be like,
513
00:28:06,083 --> 00:28:08,333
"Oh, yeah, I got
the porcupine that compromised
514
00:28:08,417 --> 00:28:10,417
to the extent where now he can't
even recognize himself."
515
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:11,667
And another kid's
gonna be like,
516
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:13,250
"Oh, I got the snake who's like
517
00:28:13,333 --> 00:28:15,917
addicted to buying shoes online,
even though she can't wear them,
518
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,166
and at first it's kind of funny,
but then it gets really sad.
519
00:28:18,250 --> 00:28:20,417
(laughter)
520
00:28:22,875 --> 00:28:26,375
And lastly, how about a clam
521
00:28:26,458 --> 00:28:28,750
who is way in over his head
522
00:28:28,834 --> 00:28:32,375
because he misrepresented
himself at a job interview
523
00:28:32,458 --> 00:28:35,208
-as an oyster.
-(laughter)
524
00:28:35,291 --> 00:28:37,875
So, now the clam is at work,
and the boss is like,
525
00:28:37,959 --> 00:28:40,333
"Great! We'll just need a pearl
by the end of the day."
526
00:28:40,417 --> 00:28:43,500
(laughter)
527
00:28:45,959 --> 00:28:48,542
And the clam is like, "I...
528
00:28:48,625 --> 00:28:52,500
-Yeah, okay."
-(laughter)
529
00:28:53,959 --> 00:28:56,542
"Mm-hmm."
"One? One round?"
530
00:28:56,625 --> 00:28:59,208
"Yeah, just go back
to your computer
531
00:28:59,291 --> 00:29:01,291
and, uh, make the pearl."
532
00:29:01,917 --> 00:29:03,792
"And how do you-- oh, no,
I know how to do it.
533
00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:05,166
Got it."
"Okay, great."
534
00:29:05,250 --> 00:29:06,750
(laughter)
535
00:29:07,792 --> 00:29:11,417
And for this presentation
for the zoo, by the way,
536
00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:13,417
I am very well-prepared
537
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:15,959
because I have also made...
538
00:29:17,166 --> 00:29:21,375
their shadows and their souls.
539
00:29:21,458 --> 00:29:23,500
(laughter)
540
00:29:24,667 --> 00:29:27,500
-Because I don't want
the zoo to say...
-(applause)
541
00:29:27,583 --> 00:29:29,709
"Oh, these are great,
but I have no idea
542
00:29:29,792 --> 00:29:31,750
what their shadows
or their souls would be like."
543
00:29:31,834 --> 00:29:34,250
And I was like,
"Well, I'm not crazy.
544
00:29:34,333 --> 00:29:36,500
-I make them."
-(laughter)
545
00:29:38,542 --> 00:29:40,959
I really feel
a connection to that clam,
546
00:29:41,041 --> 00:29:43,417
because I've tried to take
so many jobs here in America
547
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:48,166
just wildly misrepresenting
what I could or could not do.
548
00:29:48,250 --> 00:29:49,875
Because I was
just so desperate
549
00:29:49,959 --> 00:29:51,917
to stay here
and get a work visa.
550
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,333
And there was this one
job interview that I went to,
551
00:29:55,417 --> 00:29:58,875
but then the job interview
was going bad
552
00:29:58,959 --> 00:30:02,125
because the interview
is for sales.
553
00:30:02,208 --> 00:30:03,375
And I'm saying things like,
554
00:30:03,458 --> 00:30:06,000
"Well, you know,
I've bought things before,
555
00:30:06,083 --> 00:30:10,500
"so doing the opposite
would be fun...
556
00:30:10,583 --> 00:30:12,834
-(laughter)
-...for me."
557
00:30:12,917 --> 00:30:18,291
And then there's this long, long
silence at the job interview.
558
00:30:18,375 --> 00:30:20,792
And I'm panicking
and I'm thinking,
559
00:30:20,875 --> 00:30:23,291
I-- I need to get some job.
560
00:30:23,375 --> 00:30:25,125
I need to get something.
561
00:30:25,208 --> 00:30:26,875
'Cause if I don't,
it's just gonna cause
562
00:30:26,959 --> 00:30:28,750
this domino effect that
I can't think about.
563
00:30:28,834 --> 00:30:29,959
I have to get
this woman to like me.
564
00:30:30,041 --> 00:30:31,375
I have to get her to like me.
565
00:30:31,458 --> 00:30:33,792
I have to say something
that will turn it around.
566
00:30:33,875 --> 00:30:36,625
And then, I look at her,
straight in the eye,
567
00:30:36,709 --> 00:30:38,583
and out of nowhere I say...
568
00:30:39,250 --> 00:30:42,500
"I love corporations."
569
00:30:42,583 --> 00:30:45,041
(laughter)
570
00:30:46,166 --> 00:30:50,000
That is by far the darkest thing
I have ever said in my life.
571
00:30:50,083 --> 00:30:51,792
(laughter)
572
00:30:53,125 --> 00:30:54,166
And it haunts me.
573
00:30:54,250 --> 00:30:56,667
It haunts me to this very day.
574
00:30:56,750 --> 00:30:59,250
(laughter)
575
00:31:01,250 --> 00:31:04,500
But, you know,
it all worked out at the end,
576
00:31:04,583 --> 00:31:10,250
because I didn't get
any of those jobs.
577
00:31:10,333 --> 00:31:12,875
But I ended up getting a visa
578
00:31:12,959 --> 00:31:15,834
that claims I'm an alien
of extraordinary ability.
579
00:31:15,917 --> 00:31:20,333
-(cheers and applause)
-The ability includes this.
580
00:31:20,417 --> 00:31:23,667
-(ethereal music playing)
-(laughter)
581
00:31:26,625 --> 00:31:28,291
(Julio chuckles)
582
00:31:29,542 --> 00:31:31,208
That's for me.
583
00:31:31,291 --> 00:31:35,458
(laughter and applause)
584
00:31:35,542 --> 00:31:38,709
A problem that I often face
is that I'll sit down
585
00:31:38,792 --> 00:31:41,917
and try to write and try
to come up with things to say
586
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,375
and try to come up
with material.
587
00:31:43,458 --> 00:31:46,250
But something that has been
happening to me a lot
588
00:31:46,333 --> 00:31:47,917
is that I'll sit down,
wanting to write
589
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,709
and then I'll end up
accidentally just
fully-sketching
590
00:31:50,792 --> 00:31:52,709
another gorgeous
bridal collection.
591
00:31:52,792 --> 00:31:54,792
(laughter)
592
00:31:55,750 --> 00:31:58,041
Because I have never
in my life seen
593
00:31:58,125 --> 00:32:00,291
a wedding dress
that I actually liked.
594
00:32:00,375 --> 00:32:02,834
So I sit down and I'm like,
"Well, maybe it's a pant."
595
00:32:02,917 --> 00:32:05,875
And then I have to be like,
"No, Julio, this is not
your problem."
596
00:32:05,959 --> 00:32:08,208
(laughter)
597
00:32:08,291 --> 00:32:10,834
This is somebody else's
cross to bear.
598
00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:15,750
However, though,
there is a garment
599
00:32:15,834 --> 00:32:18,000
that I've been
meaning to design.
600
00:32:18,083 --> 00:32:20,792
It's not a wedding dress,
but how about...
601
00:32:21,709 --> 00:32:27,417
a cape for a queen
that is so, so long
602
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:31,583
that she doesn't know there's
another queen at the end of it.
603
00:32:31,667 --> 00:32:33,792
(laughter)
604
00:32:34,875 --> 00:32:37,750
But the cape has
to be so, so long
605
00:32:37,834 --> 00:32:40,083
that they have no idea.
606
00:32:40,166 --> 00:32:43,166
Except every now and then,
they feel a little tug,
607
00:32:44,834 --> 00:32:49,625
and they might wonder what it is
or they might ignore it,
608
00:32:49,709 --> 00:32:53,834
but then the curious queen will
be the one who turns around,
609
00:32:53,917 --> 00:32:58,208
follows the cape,
and changes her life forever.
610
00:32:59,041 --> 00:33:01,959
There are two kinds
of queens in this world:
611
00:33:02,041 --> 00:33:06,500
the queen that follows the cape
and the queen that does not.
612
00:33:06,583 --> 00:33:09,625
I made that up right now.
(poofs) I have returned.
613
00:33:09,709 --> 00:33:14,083
(laughter and applause)
614
00:33:18,917 --> 00:33:24,375
I have often been called
"too niche."
615
00:33:24,458 --> 00:33:26,959
-(laughter)
-To which I'll say,
616
00:33:27,041 --> 00:33:32,959
I have no idea what you could
possibly be talking about.
617
00:33:33,041 --> 00:33:35,375
(laughter)
618
00:33:38,291 --> 00:33:41,834
I have purchased chairs
for all of my crystals.
619
00:33:41,917 --> 00:33:43,834
(laughter)
620
00:33:43,917 --> 00:33:48,000
Because I don't know
if crystals actually work,
621
00:33:48,083 --> 00:33:49,875
but, just in case,
622
00:33:49,959 --> 00:33:52,917
I got them all chairs
and little desks.
623
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,583
(laughter)
624
00:33:54,667 --> 00:33:56,625
So, they don't have an excuse.
625
00:33:56,709 --> 00:33:57,667
(laughter)
626
00:33:57,750 --> 00:34:01,125
(chuckles)
I'm just a little alien
627
00:34:01,208 --> 00:34:03,834
playing with my toys,
628
00:34:03,917 --> 00:34:06,500
but this time
to a captive audience.
629
00:34:06,583 --> 00:34:07,959
(laughter)
630
00:34:08,792 --> 00:34:12,750
Um, as a child,
I distinctly remember
631
00:34:12,834 --> 00:34:15,041
learning how to write.
632
00:34:15,125 --> 00:34:18,875
And I distinctly remember
learning how to write
the letter E,
633
00:34:18,959 --> 00:34:22,041
because me and the Es
634
00:34:22,125 --> 00:34:27,125
became this ongoing
parent-teacher conference saga.
635
00:34:27,917 --> 00:34:30,709
Where-- okay, you know
what an E is, right?
636
00:34:30,792 --> 00:34:33,208
You've seen an E before?
637
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,583
But when I would watch
the teacher write the letter E,
638
00:34:37,667 --> 00:34:40,250
I'd be like, okay,
I see what she did.
639
00:34:40,333 --> 00:34:42,417
She created the frame,
640
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:46,583
which are sort of the rules
that we must respect
641
00:34:46,667 --> 00:34:48,500
in order to live in a society.
642
00:34:49,125 --> 00:34:53,709
But within those boundaries,
she drew in a little stick.
643
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:55,917
And I was like, okay,
644
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,542
but what if I--
645
00:34:58,625 --> 00:35:00,417
I mean, could I just maybe...?
646
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:02,667
(laughter)
647
00:35:07,166 --> 00:35:11,500
So, I would treat Es
on a case-by-case basis.
648
00:35:11,583 --> 00:35:12,750
(laughter)
649
00:35:12,834 --> 00:35:14,250
I'd be writing and I'd be like,
650
00:35:14,333 --> 00:35:17,500
oh, this one wants two,
this one wants five.
651
00:35:17,583 --> 00:35:21,041
Oh, this one's 18,
this one feels like it wants 18.
652
00:35:21,125 --> 00:35:23,000
And my teacher was like,
653
00:35:23,083 --> 00:35:26,125
"Okay, Julio,
that's really interesting,
654
00:35:26,208 --> 00:35:29,375
but you gotta write an E
and move on."
655
00:35:29,458 --> 00:35:32,500
Or, you know, "You can't have
a sentence like,
656
00:35:32,583 --> 00:35:34,250
(speaking Spanish)
657
00:35:34,333 --> 00:35:36,291
It'd be ten days
of labor for you."
658
00:35:36,375 --> 00:35:37,583
(laughter)
659
00:35:37,667 --> 00:35:41,000
And you know what?
I get it, I...
660
00:35:41,083 --> 00:35:43,333
I understand how you live
in the real world,
661
00:35:43,417 --> 00:35:47,959
and I understand that sometimes
a thing is just a thing
662
00:35:48,041 --> 00:35:49,291
and you have to move on,
663
00:35:49,375 --> 00:35:51,709
and you just gotta
see it for what it is.
664
00:35:51,792 --> 00:35:54,166
But frankly-- I'm sorry--
but that is the kind of thinking
665
00:35:54,250 --> 00:35:56,083
that got that man elected.
666
00:35:56,166 --> 00:35:58,041
(laughter)
667
00:35:59,208 --> 00:36:01,959
(applause)
668
00:36:02,041 --> 00:36:07,625
My least, least favorite shape
669
00:36:07,709 --> 00:36:11,667
is someone telling me,
"It is what it is."
670
00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:13,166
(laughter)
671
00:36:13,250 --> 00:36:16,125
This is Helena Bonham Carter.
672
00:36:16,208 --> 00:36:18,750
(laughter)
673
00:36:21,333 --> 00:36:22,792
Shakira.
674
00:36:22,875 --> 00:36:25,959
(laughter)
675
00:36:27,542 --> 00:36:28,875
And this...
676
00:36:28,959 --> 00:36:31,583
Oh, where are you going?
677
00:36:32,875 --> 00:36:35,083
No! No, no, no, no, no.
678
00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:38,583
Come here.
(sighs) So delicate.
679
00:36:38,667 --> 00:36:40,834
You know, it's because
he is so beautiful
680
00:36:40,917 --> 00:36:43,583
that he can get away
with being so shy.
681
00:36:43,667 --> 00:36:47,500
Because he knows
that no matter what,
the camera will love him.
682
00:36:47,583 --> 00:36:50,291
It's like, shh, shh!
So shy!
683
00:36:51,125 --> 00:36:53,375
Anyway, this is
Timothée Chalamet.
684
00:36:53,458 --> 00:36:55,959
(laughter)
685
00:36:56,041 --> 00:36:59,750
Timothée doesn't want to be
in the show right now. Okay.
686
00:37:01,333 --> 00:37:06,125
Have you ever met someone
who is so young
687
00:37:06,208 --> 00:37:08,709
and so attractive
and so confident
688
00:37:08,792 --> 00:37:12,083
but so utterly clueless about
the way the world works?
689
00:37:12,166 --> 00:37:15,166
But because they're so young,
so confident, and so attractive,
690
00:37:15,250 --> 00:37:18,458
you just know that the world
will just be handed to them?
691
00:37:19,333 --> 00:37:23,542
(sighs)
This is Josh.
692
00:37:23,625 --> 00:37:26,458
(laughter)
693
00:37:28,333 --> 00:37:31,500
The confidence at his age
is like... how?
694
00:37:31,583 --> 00:37:33,000
(laughter)
695
00:37:33,083 --> 00:37:35,583
Josh came up to me after a show,
and he was like, "Hey,
696
00:37:35,667 --> 00:37:37,291
"you know, just so you know,
I really like what you're doing
697
00:37:37,375 --> 00:37:39,250
and I'd love to get involved
in any way that I can."
698
00:37:39,333 --> 00:37:43,917
And I'm thinking,
I have nothing to offer you.
699
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,917
(laughter)
700
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,375
But anyway,
he's my social media intern now.
701
00:37:48,458 --> 00:37:50,792
(laughter)
702
00:37:50,875 --> 00:37:52,417
It's like, okay,
I don't know why,
703
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:54,250
but I feel compelled
to give you things.
704
00:37:54,333 --> 00:37:55,750
(laughter)
705
00:37:55,834 --> 00:37:57,000
Um...
706
00:38:02,166 --> 00:38:06,333
This is Rob.
707
00:38:06,417 --> 00:38:09,333
Rob is my immigration attorney.
708
00:38:09,417 --> 00:38:11,500
(laughter)
709
00:38:13,458 --> 00:38:18,959
And this right here,
this is Dylan Cabrera.
710
00:38:19,041 --> 00:38:21,583
Uh, Dylan works in--
711
00:38:21,667 --> 00:38:24,125
I always forget.
Merchandising, I think,
712
00:38:24,208 --> 00:38:25,625
the last time we spoke.
713
00:38:25,709 --> 00:38:28,625
And Dylan and Rob,
they're a couple.
714
00:38:28,709 --> 00:38:30,709
Uh, they live...
715
00:38:31,542 --> 00:38:35,542
in this gorgeous, gigantic loft
716
00:38:35,625 --> 00:38:37,625
-in Tribeca.
-(laughter)
717
00:38:37,709 --> 00:38:41,083
Uh, because I think
Dylan comes from money.
718
00:38:41,166 --> 00:38:43,208
Uh, it's just one
of those things
719
00:38:43,291 --> 00:38:45,458
where you walk into the loft
and you're like,
720
00:38:45,542 --> 00:38:48,041
okay, so you're
an immigration attorney
721
00:38:48,125 --> 00:38:49,834
and you do
merchandising sometimes.
722
00:38:49,917 --> 00:38:52,875
-And the loft happens how?
-(laughter)
723
00:38:52,959 --> 00:38:54,458
Um...
724
00:38:54,542 --> 00:38:56,875
But we don't ask
questions, but, uh...
725
00:38:56,959 --> 00:39:00,000
I don't know if you can see,
but Dylan here,
726
00:39:00,083 --> 00:39:01,792
he doesn't have much of a beak.
727
00:39:01,875 --> 00:39:04,709
And that's because he had a very
large, very prominent beak,
728
00:39:04,792 --> 00:39:07,000
that he was a little
self-conscious about,
729
00:39:07,083 --> 00:39:10,083
so he got it removed.
730
00:39:10,667 --> 00:39:15,750
When he came back to the loft
that night after the surgery,
731
00:39:15,834 --> 00:39:18,375
Rob was there,
and Dylan was like,
732
00:39:18,458 --> 00:39:21,750
"Well? What do you think?"
733
00:39:21,834 --> 00:39:23,458
(laughter)
734
00:39:23,542 --> 00:39:25,291
And Rob was like...
735
00:39:29,250 --> 00:39:30,583
"No, I like it..."
736
00:39:30,667 --> 00:39:32,917
(laughter)
737
00:39:33,959 --> 00:39:36,458
And Dylan was like,
"No, you like it?"
738
00:39:37,542 --> 00:39:39,625
And Rob was like, "Well...
739
00:39:40,625 --> 00:39:42,333
I mean, I don't know. Your--
740
00:39:42,417 --> 00:39:43,583
Your beak was big,
741
00:39:43,667 --> 00:39:46,959
but your beak was...
it was you.
742
00:39:48,875 --> 00:39:51,208
And Dylan is like,
"Exactly! My beak was me,
743
00:39:51,291 --> 00:39:53,041
"my beak was a part of my body,
so I don't feel like you can
744
00:39:53,125 --> 00:39:56,041
just walk into a room and police
what I do with my body.
745
00:39:56,125 --> 00:39:58,041
-And Rob is like, "Sweetie..."
-(laughter)
746
00:39:58,125 --> 00:40:01,166
"Sweetie, I love you
the old way,
747
00:40:01,250 --> 00:40:02,834
"I love you the new way.
748
00:40:02,917 --> 00:40:04,375
Let's just go to bed."
749
00:40:04,458 --> 00:40:05,959
(laughter)
750
00:40:06,792 --> 00:40:08,375
Anyway, they're engaged.
751
00:40:08,458 --> 00:40:10,667
(laughter)
752
00:40:13,250 --> 00:40:15,792
So, um, good luck
with all of that.
753
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:22,959
This is...
754
00:40:23,041 --> 00:40:24,375
Jessica.
755
00:40:24,458 --> 00:40:26,333
(laughter)
756
00:40:26,417 --> 00:40:28,375
Jessica is from L.A.
757
00:40:28,458 --> 00:40:29,750
(laughter)
758
00:40:29,834 --> 00:40:32,583
-Jessica works in P.R.
-(laughter)
759
00:40:32,667 --> 00:40:37,250
Jessica begins and ends
every single e-mail with ASAP.
760
00:40:37,333 --> 00:40:38,917
(laughter)
761
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,125
-Everything is ASAP.
-(laughter)
762
00:40:42,208 --> 00:40:44,166
Um...
763
00:40:44,250 --> 00:40:45,875
And, wait, hold on.
I'm sorry.
764
00:40:45,959 --> 00:40:48,083
If I can just go
back to the whole...
765
00:40:48,166 --> 00:40:50,875
Dylan and Rob mess for a second.
766
00:40:50,959 --> 00:40:52,834
(laughter)
767
00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:57,959
And that is, that with all
the conflicts that they have
768
00:40:58,041 --> 00:41:00,083
and all the baggage
that you can feel
769
00:41:00,166 --> 00:41:02,792
and the toxicity that's
between them as a couple,
770
00:41:02,875 --> 00:41:06,792
they met this young,
beautiful thing right here.
771
00:41:06,875 --> 00:41:09,542
-(laughter)
-His name is Tristan,
of course.
772
00:41:10,625 --> 00:41:13,709
And now they brought him
into their relationship,
773
00:41:13,792 --> 00:41:16,291
so there's this
"polyamorii" triad thing.
774
00:41:16,375 --> 00:41:19,041
And it's like, great,
you know what?
775
00:41:19,125 --> 00:41:21,667
2019, you do you.
776
00:41:21,750 --> 00:41:24,959
But also, he's 22.
777
00:41:25,041 --> 00:41:26,875
(laughter)
778
00:41:26,959 --> 00:41:29,792
You know what? Whatever.
We're all gonna be there
at the wedding,
779
00:41:29,875 --> 00:41:32,875
and none of us are gonna say
a damn thing about anything.
780
00:41:32,959 --> 00:41:35,500
(laughter)
781
00:41:40,917 --> 00:41:45,625
I should preface this
by saying...
782
00:41:46,417 --> 00:41:50,333
that I have nothing but love
for all of my shapes.
783
00:41:50,417 --> 00:41:52,542
I-- and I mean it.
784
00:41:52,625 --> 00:41:59,166
(sighs)
But there is just something
about this shape...
785
00:41:59,250 --> 00:42:04,041
and I can't quite put
my finger on it.
786
00:42:04,792 --> 00:42:06,834
But every time I see it...
787
00:42:06,917 --> 00:42:08,583
(laughter)
788
00:42:08,667 --> 00:42:10,834
I'm just like, no.
789
00:42:10,917 --> 00:42:13,333
(laughter)
790
00:42:13,417 --> 00:42:14,583
No.
791
00:42:15,709 --> 00:42:17,917
Just like, absolutely not.
792
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,041
(laughter)
793
00:42:20,125 --> 00:42:22,125
His name is Eric.
794
00:42:22,208 --> 00:42:25,375
He's very sweet
and he means well,
795
00:42:25,458 --> 00:42:27,083
but I don't--
like, some--
796
00:42:27,166 --> 00:42:28,959
like, every group has
the one, I guess.
797
00:42:29,041 --> 00:42:31,583
And like, sometimes
my shapes and I after a show,
798
00:42:31,667 --> 00:42:33,333
we like grab a drink
and we're having fun.
799
00:42:33,417 --> 00:42:35,208
And then I'm like having
a glass of wine,
800
00:42:35,291 --> 00:42:36,583
and then I turn around
and it's like...
801
00:42:36,667 --> 00:42:37,792
"Hey."
802
00:42:37,875 --> 00:42:39,834
(laughter)
803
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:44,583
And I'm like, "Hey, Eric.
804
00:42:45,458 --> 00:42:47,166
How's your night going?"
805
00:42:47,250 --> 00:42:49,208
He's like, "I'm sorry, what?"
806
00:42:49,291 --> 00:42:51,125
It's like, "How's your--
don't make me--
807
00:42:51,208 --> 00:42:52,792
like, I don't know!"
808
00:42:52,875 --> 00:42:55,041
(laughter)
809
00:42:55,125 --> 00:42:56,709
But you know, Eric,
810
00:42:56,792 --> 00:42:59,625
even though all of it, I...
811
00:43:00,417 --> 00:43:03,000
I do have a lot of love for him,
812
00:43:03,083 --> 00:43:10,208
because it is thanks to Eric
that I have met a true star.
813
00:43:10,291 --> 00:43:12,166
(laughter)
814
00:43:12,250 --> 00:43:16,375
The second I saw her,
I thought...
815
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,250
Game over.
816
00:43:20,333 --> 00:43:21,667
(laughter)
817
00:43:21,750 --> 00:43:26,041
The star power is palpable
and it fills up the room.
818
00:43:26,125 --> 00:43:32,667
-(drumroll)
-Please allow me
to introduce...
819
00:43:36,834 --> 00:43:38,166
Krisha.
820
00:43:38,250 --> 00:43:40,333
(laughter)
821
00:43:42,166 --> 00:43:46,667
(applause and cheering)
822
00:43:47,500 --> 00:43:51,583
Now, let's introduce her again,
but in the very same way
823
00:43:51,667 --> 00:43:54,625
that Kate Winslet was
introduced in Titanic .
824
00:43:54,709 --> 00:44:00,583
-(flute music playing)
-When Kate laid eyes on the boat
for the very first time.
825
00:44:03,417 --> 00:44:06,834
(laughter and applause)
826
00:44:15,375 --> 00:44:17,458
-Krisha.
-(laughter)
827
00:44:17,542 --> 00:44:20,917
I obviously adore Krisha.
828
00:44:22,875 --> 00:44:27,792
And I like her so much that I am
helping her with a TV show.
829
00:44:27,875 --> 00:44:29,083
(laughter)
830
00:44:29,166 --> 00:44:31,667
And this TV show would be
semi-autobiographical,
831
00:44:31,750 --> 00:44:34,125
and it would follow
Krisha's journey,
832
00:44:34,208 --> 00:44:36,875
beginning with getting
cheated on in the D.R.
833
00:44:36,959 --> 00:44:39,875
Deciding that she's
had it with that man,
834
00:44:39,959 --> 00:44:42,333
she packs her bags
and she moves to Miami
835
00:44:42,417 --> 00:44:45,458
to pursue her passion
of fashion.
836
00:44:45,542 --> 00:44:49,291
-(laughter)
-But is the Miami market
ready for little dresses
837
00:44:49,375 --> 00:44:51,500
that are actually
to Krisha's size?
838
00:44:51,583 --> 00:44:53,667
(laughter)
839
00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:57,667
We'll find out in the show
as Krisha juggles love,
840
00:44:57,750 --> 00:45:02,250
relationships, fashion,
and her faith.
841
00:45:02,333 --> 00:45:04,250
(laughter)
842
00:45:04,333 --> 00:45:08,458
Krisha's faith was not
originally a part
of the concept,
843
00:45:08,542 --> 00:45:13,083
and, frankly, some of the rants
get a little dicey.
844
00:45:13,166 --> 00:45:16,041
Some of the rants, I'm like,
okay, but you know that...
845
00:45:16,125 --> 00:45:18,333
You know that I am, right?
846
00:45:18,417 --> 00:45:21,542
And you also know that the guy
who did your makeup is--
847
00:45:21,625 --> 00:45:24,291
okay, well, I love you anyway.
848
00:45:24,375 --> 00:45:27,250
The title of the show you ask.
849
00:45:27,333 --> 00:45:28,875
Mundo de Krisha.
850
00:45:28,959 --> 00:45:31,625
(laughter)
851
00:45:35,417 --> 00:45:36,625
Oh my God.
852
00:45:37,959 --> 00:45:39,458
This next shape...
853
00:45:41,875 --> 00:45:45,000
might be my favorite part
of this entire show.
854
00:45:45,083 --> 00:45:48,667
Might be the reason why this
show even exists to begin with.
855
00:45:49,959 --> 00:45:53,250
I shudder to think
what would happen
856
00:45:53,333 --> 00:45:57,375
if this shape were to fall
in the wrong hands.
857
00:45:57,458 --> 00:45:59,333
(laughter)
858
00:46:00,417 --> 00:46:03,959
If you have never seen one
of these in action before...
859
00:46:05,041 --> 00:46:07,667
-get ready.
-(laughter)
860
00:46:08,375 --> 00:46:10,667
One, two...
861
00:46:11,333 --> 00:46:14,166
(toy squeaking)
862
00:46:16,125 --> 00:46:18,667
(laughter)
863
00:46:21,333 --> 00:46:23,792
(laughter)
864
00:46:33,041 --> 00:46:34,834
We rehearsed this.
865
00:46:34,917 --> 00:46:37,041
(laughter)
866
00:46:40,291 --> 00:46:42,458
And then I get here
and I'm like, "Do you guys
wanna run it?"
867
00:46:42,542 --> 00:46:45,041
They're like, "No, we got it.
Uh-uh, uh-uh..."
868
00:46:45,875 --> 00:46:47,542
Regardless...
869
00:46:48,834 --> 00:46:51,834
I've got nothing--
nothing but love
870
00:46:51,917 --> 00:46:55,250
for the penguins
and their world.
871
00:46:56,834 --> 00:46:59,166
But especially
this one right here.
872
00:47:00,166 --> 00:47:02,083
That blue one in the middle.
873
00:47:02,166 --> 00:47:03,417
I love him so much
that he's inspired
874
00:47:03,500 --> 00:47:05,792
a little something
I'm about to read to you.
875
00:47:05,875 --> 00:47:07,625
(laughter)
876
00:47:07,709 --> 00:47:09,166
(clears throat)
877
00:47:09,250 --> 00:47:11,542
-(piano music playing)
-"The blue penguin loved being
878
00:47:11,625 --> 00:47:13,333
"a part of the playful
penguin race
879
00:47:13,417 --> 00:47:15,834
more than anything else
in the world."
880
00:47:17,083 --> 00:47:19,583
Male voice:
The excitement of going
up the stairs,
881
00:47:20,542 --> 00:47:22,250
down the loops,
882
00:47:23,417 --> 00:47:25,375
and maybe, just maybe
883
00:47:25,458 --> 00:47:28,208
winning one day
was all I had.
884
00:47:29,959 --> 00:47:31,917
But everything changed
the day I realized
885
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,041
I was racing on a preset track.
886
00:47:35,125 --> 00:47:37,625
The black penguin ahead of me,
887
00:47:38,291 --> 00:47:40,250
the red one behind me,
888
00:47:41,166 --> 00:47:43,583
and nothing
I could do about it.
889
00:47:43,667 --> 00:47:48,834
The game was designed so I'd
come in second place forever.
890
00:47:48,917 --> 00:47:51,500
The black penguin
celebrated his victories
891
00:47:51,583 --> 00:47:53,709
as though they were his own.
892
00:47:53,792 --> 00:47:57,500
The red thought he just
wasn't trying hard enough.
893
00:47:57,583 --> 00:47:59,625
And so I was
suddenly all alone
894
00:47:59,709 --> 00:48:03,333
in this deeply
solitary awakening.
895
00:48:04,625 --> 00:48:07,333
That was the day that
the playful penguin race...
896
00:48:07,417 --> 00:48:10,041
-(lightning crashes)
- ...became hell.
897
00:48:10,125 --> 00:48:11,917
(laughter)
898
00:48:13,291 --> 00:48:15,166
So, really the toy is
more of an allegory
899
00:48:15,250 --> 00:48:16,667
for the middle class, I guess.
900
00:48:16,750 --> 00:48:18,959
(laughter)
901
00:48:23,333 --> 00:48:25,917
This next shape...
902
00:48:31,917 --> 00:48:34,458
(laughter)
903
00:48:40,875 --> 00:48:42,583
He's making fun of me.
904
00:48:42,667 --> 00:48:47,542
(laughter and applause)
905
00:48:49,291 --> 00:48:50,959
He's making fun of me.
906
00:48:52,291 --> 00:48:55,917
That's a big swing
for someone you barely know.
907
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,166
(laughter)
908
00:49:00,667 --> 00:49:02,625
Ha-ha, I guess.
909
00:49:04,500 --> 00:49:07,583
My very, very favorite
910
00:49:07,667 --> 00:49:12,083
cartoon character, though,
growing up, my hero
911
00:49:12,166 --> 00:49:14,041
was Daisy Duck.
912
00:49:14,125 --> 00:49:15,709
(laughter)
913
00:49:15,792 --> 00:49:17,750
Daisy Duck, of course,
914
00:49:17,834 --> 00:49:20,583
being the supporting actress
of the Mickey gang.
915
00:49:20,667 --> 00:49:22,750
Right? She didn't get
a lot of screen time,
916
00:49:22,834 --> 00:49:25,542
but when she did,
she earned it.
917
00:49:25,625 --> 00:49:27,041
(laughter)
918
00:49:27,125 --> 00:49:30,208
My parents took me
to Disney World one time.
919
00:49:30,291 --> 00:49:32,458
And to me, it was
just a pilgrimage
920
00:49:32,542 --> 00:49:35,333
to finally meet Daisy.
921
00:49:35,417 --> 00:49:39,000
And we go into the park,
and we see Mickey's house.
922
00:49:39,083 --> 00:49:40,750
And we go inside of it
and I greet Mickey,
923
00:49:40,834 --> 00:49:42,166
and I'm like,
"Okay, we'll wrap it up
924
00:49:42,250 --> 00:49:44,542
-'cause we're going
to Daisy's."
-(laughter)
925
00:49:44,625 --> 00:49:46,458
And then we go into Donald's,
and Donald is there.
926
00:49:46,542 --> 00:49:47,959
And he greets me,
he greets my family.
927
00:49:48,041 --> 00:49:49,542
It's like, "This is very nice.
Thank you for having us,
928
00:49:49,625 --> 00:49:52,083
but we're running late.
I'm going to Daisy's."
929
00:49:52,792 --> 00:49:58,041
And then I see Daisy's door.
930
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,375
And I am so, so excited
that it's finally gonna happen.
931
00:50:04,250 --> 00:50:06,125
And I walk over to the door,
932
00:50:06,208 --> 00:50:10,208
and I see the big,
beautiful, bulbous doorknob.
933
00:50:10,291 --> 00:50:12,208
And I reach towards it,
934
00:50:12,291 --> 00:50:14,083
and I twist,
935
00:50:14,166 --> 00:50:16,041
and then I pull.
936
00:50:17,750 --> 00:50:19,542
But the door won't open.
937
00:50:19,625 --> 00:50:24,333
I pull and I pull and I pull,
but the door just won't open.
938
00:50:24,417 --> 00:50:26,500
So, then I look at my mother,
just panicking
939
00:50:26,583 --> 00:50:28,333
because the door
is not opening.
940
00:50:28,417 --> 00:50:31,166
And then she explains to me
941
00:50:31,250 --> 00:50:34,125
that it was all just a facade.
942
00:50:35,375 --> 00:50:37,333
In that moment,
I became an atheist.
943
00:50:37,417 --> 00:50:40,500
(laughter)
944
00:50:40,583 --> 00:50:42,625
She released me.
945
00:50:42,709 --> 00:50:45,000
(laughter)
946
00:50:45,083 --> 00:50:47,208
-(applause)
-And I-- I understand.
947
00:50:47,291 --> 00:50:48,875
Look, I'm not crazy.
948
00:50:48,959 --> 00:50:54,417
-(laughter)
-I understand that the park
has to end at some point.
949
00:50:54,500 --> 00:50:56,166
I understand that
it can't be infinite,
950
00:50:56,250 --> 00:50:58,542
and I understand that maybe
there wasn't enough budget
951
00:50:58,625 --> 00:51:00,750
to build the home
for a pretty minor--
952
00:51:00,834 --> 00:51:03,500
-even though iconic--
character.
-(laughter)
953
00:51:03,583 --> 00:51:05,500
I get all of that.
954
00:51:05,583 --> 00:51:09,542
But I feel like they were
operating under the notion
955
00:51:09,625 --> 00:51:11,709
that the world is
actually pretty simple,
956
00:51:11,792 --> 00:51:13,375
so we might as well
just lie to a kid
957
00:51:13,458 --> 00:51:14,667
with a door
that goes nowhere.
958
00:51:14,750 --> 00:51:15,875
(laughter)
959
00:51:15,959 --> 00:51:18,792
If I had designed the park,
960
00:51:18,875 --> 00:51:24,834
I would've created a miniature
interior of Daisy's house
961
00:51:24,917 --> 00:51:27,750
and put it behind
the little keyhole.
962
00:51:27,834 --> 00:51:31,583
So that when the bizarre little
child comes up to the door...
963
00:51:31,667 --> 00:51:33,000
(laughter)
964
00:51:33,083 --> 00:51:35,041
...and looks
through the keyhole,
965
00:51:35,959 --> 00:51:38,417
they'll feel that even though
966
00:51:38,500 --> 00:51:41,375
they don't have complete
access to everything yet,
967
00:51:41,458 --> 00:51:47,417
and even though you can't
see everything all at once,
968
00:51:47,500 --> 00:51:53,166
there is something so beautiful
just out of reach.
969
00:51:54,166 --> 00:51:59,041
-This is all in an e-mail
I've sent to them several times.
-(laughter)
970
00:51:59,125 --> 00:52:01,959
-But I keep waiting...
-(applause)
971
00:52:02,041 --> 00:52:04,083
...for them to reply
one of these days.
972
00:52:04,166 --> 00:52:06,667
'Cause I'm like, "Hey, just
checking in on Daisy's door."
973
00:52:06,750 --> 00:52:09,250
(laughter)
974
00:52:10,542 --> 00:52:13,083
Of course, what was
frustrating about Daisy's door
975
00:52:13,166 --> 00:52:17,667
is because something
was presented as just that
and nothing more.
976
00:52:17,750 --> 00:52:22,041
The world was explained to me
by oversimplifying it.
977
00:52:29,041 --> 00:52:31,375
But I don't like simple.
978
00:52:31,458 --> 00:52:33,709
(laughter)
979
00:52:38,709 --> 00:52:41,000
I'm sorry, what is that,
you're wondering.
980
00:52:41,083 --> 00:52:44,917
This is
a stiletto-shaped display
981
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,375
for a miniature
stiletto collection.
982
00:52:47,458 --> 00:52:49,125
(laughter)
983
00:52:49,208 --> 00:52:52,834
-I feel seen by this object.
-(laughter)
984
00:52:52,917 --> 00:52:56,458
Note that none of the shoes
involved are to scale.
985
00:52:56,542 --> 00:52:57,792
(laughter)
986
00:52:57,875 --> 00:53:00,750
This is what I feel like
when somebody casually asks,
987
00:53:00,834 --> 00:53:03,083
"So, what do you do?"
And I'm like, "Oh, well,
988
00:53:03,166 --> 00:53:04,500
"it's actually pretty simple.
989
00:53:04,583 --> 00:53:08,375
"I'm just like a big shoe
that is for little shoes.
990
00:53:08,458 --> 00:53:10,625
"And I do have a purpose
991
00:53:10,709 --> 00:53:12,375
"if you have a miniature
shoe collection
992
00:53:12,458 --> 00:53:14,750
"that you want displayed
in a bigger shoe.
993
00:53:14,834 --> 00:53:16,333
"So, yeah, a visa for that.
994
00:53:16,417 --> 00:53:19,458
"That's, uh, sort of what
I bring to the table.
995
00:53:19,542 --> 00:53:22,166
Yeah, pretty-pretty-pretty
straightforward actually.
996
00:53:22,250 --> 00:53:24,083
(laughter)
997
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,750
Now I'll read to you a little
monologue by the shoe.
998
00:53:27,834 --> 00:53:29,875
(laughter)
999
00:53:31,250 --> 00:53:33,458
"Who am I even for?"
1000
00:53:33,542 --> 00:53:35,291
(saxophone playing
melancholy melody)
1001
00:53:35,375 --> 00:53:38,333
Female voice:
Am I for the little shoes?
1002
00:53:38,417 --> 00:53:40,458
Or are the little shoes for me?
1003
00:53:41,458 --> 00:53:46,458
I am an idea on top of an idea.
1004
00:53:46,542 --> 00:53:50,625
Look at the little shoes
marching down to my toe.
1005
00:53:50,709 --> 00:53:55,000
If I'm alive, are they?
1006
00:53:55,083 --> 00:53:59,291
I am what happens
when no one says no.
1007
00:54:00,625 --> 00:54:04,000
I sit by the window
and watch other shoes go by,
1008
00:54:04,083 --> 00:54:09,000
real shoes, with real lives,
with real purpose.
1009
00:54:10,875 --> 00:54:12,458
Have you seen that show
1010
00:54:12,542 --> 00:54:14,583
The Assassination
of Gianni Versace,
1011
00:54:14,667 --> 00:54:17,917
where Penelope Cruz, a Spanish
actress with a Spanish accent,
1012
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,583
played an Italian
but does it all in English?
1013
00:54:21,667 --> 00:54:23,500
I am that.
1014
00:54:24,166 --> 00:54:26,667
I'm complicated.
1015
00:54:26,750 --> 00:54:30,667
I'm difficult to explain
and impossible to draw.
1016
00:54:31,834 --> 00:54:33,667
"I am alive."
1017
00:54:33,750 --> 00:54:38,500
(applause)
1018
00:54:42,750 --> 00:54:45,667
And now, our next shape...
1019
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,583
What? What do you want?
1020
00:54:51,667 --> 00:54:53,125
I already dealt with you.
1021
00:54:53,208 --> 00:54:54,709
I guess that's it.
1022
00:54:55,583 --> 00:54:58,875
I have no control over
how many shapes are back there.
1023
00:54:58,959 --> 00:55:00,834
(laughter)
1024
00:55:01,625 --> 00:55:05,417
But what do you...?
Ah, yes, yes, I see.
1025
00:55:05,500 --> 00:55:09,709
-(laughter)
-Look what you've been
hiding all along.
1026
00:55:10,875 --> 00:55:13,834
-(pastoral music playing)
-(birds twittering)
1027
00:55:14,375 --> 00:55:17,041
(high-heels clicking)
1028
00:55:17,125 --> 00:55:19,125
Julio:
Unless there are
any questions...
1029
00:55:19,208 --> 00:55:20,834
(laughter)
1030
00:55:20,917 --> 00:55:23,125
I think we're done here.
1031
00:55:23,208 --> 00:55:25,208
Thank you so much for coming.
1032
00:55:25,291 --> 00:55:26,959
Good night. Bye.
1033
00:55:27,041 --> 00:55:30,208
(cheering and applause)
1034
00:55:32,875 --> 00:55:35,041
(ethereal music playing)
1035
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,208
(cheers and applause continuing)
