tonight

. I think Richard Pryor is probably the funniest man. We would embarrass him if I said this while he was sitting here. I know him, but I think he's one of the true geniuses working in comedy today. He not only thinks funny. He's a skilled comedic actor and he's got a great string of movies over the last few years and now he's happy to star in Superman three Richard Pryor, that was fun, man, that was good, yeah, I like that coming from you, okay, yeah It's nothing, I will buy a lot of money.

That's what you're doing, I'm great, I feel wonderful, yeah, you look good, thank you very much, yeah, very happy to be here, Johnny, you see, I don't know what's going on, no, I'm home, you know? and I've been here over six months, yeah I haven't asked again why I'm leaving next week, but I've been here and I watch TV here. I don't watch it while I turn on the TV and I look and I'm like hmm that's good and I don't get it, I don't get it, I mean, I watch, I see President Reagan on TV talking and I don't get mad or anything, most people get angry I'm just saying, hmm.

The next day no, I don't remember people I see people I don't remember Richard, do you remember the time you kissed that elephant no, I don't even remember you Do you realize that when you're drunk I don't? I know people who drink and I see you, people drink normally, these people drink, have a couple of drinks, they feel good, aren't you going to drink? Yeah, I couldn't stop drinking at the technical bar, we don't have any more liquor, okay, that's it, yeah. It's a terrible habit, it really is and it's hard to break and you can't make sense you know you can't make sense when you drop it your mind tells you to talk and I shouldn't tell you because your lipstick I'm not going to say it like that , you know, you start.
