ARE YOU OKAY?
BUT MY MOTHER:
THOUGH--
MY MOTHER WAS--
DURING THIS TIME.
SHE REALLY WAS.
I MEAN, MY MOTHER--
WELL, OBVIOUSLY SHE'S
BUT-- NO, BUT SHE SAID
THIS FANTASTIC THING.
SHE SAID,
"YOU KNOW, DEAR,
IN OUR FAMILY.
WE'VE HAD
HORSE THIEVES:
AND ONE-MAN BANDS
AND ALCOHOLICS.
BUT THIS IS:
OUR FIRST HOMOSEXUAL."
NOW, YOU KNOW,
HAVING REALLY ABSOLUTELY
TO DO WITH BRYAN,
ABOUT--
ABOUT A YEAR:
AFTER THIS:
I WAS INVITED:
HOSPITAL.
AND--
WELL, YOU DON'T WAN TO BE RUDE, RIGHT?
SO YOU GO.
WELL, WAIT A--
WAIT A SECOND NOW.
IT'S A REALLY REALLY
EXCLUSIVE INVITATION.
I MEAN,
HOW MANY OF YOU:
HAVE BEEN INVITED
TO A MENTAL HOSPITAL?
I'M ASKING YOU
FOR REAL.
ONE HUMAN.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
- JIMMY.
- JIMMY.
IT'S VERY EXCLUSIVE--
JUST JIMMY:
AND MYSELF.
OH.
MY MOTHER WANTS:
YOU ALL TO KNOW:
THIS COMES:
FROM MY FATHER'S SIDE
OF THE FAMILY.
SHE IS AS NORMAL
NOW MY DIAGNOSIS--
I KNOW:
THIS WILL STUN YOU--
WAS MANIC DEPRESSION.
I THINK NOW THEY CALL I BIPOLAR, RIGHT?
OH, WAIT WAIT.
NOW THIS IS REALLY
GONNA IMPRESS YOU:
I AM ACTUALLY:
IN THE ABNORMAL:
PSYCHOLOGY TEXTBOOK.
- ( applause )
NO, WAIT WAIT WAI WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT.
KEEP IN MIND,
AND I'M IN THE ABNORMAL
PSYCHOLOGY TEXTBOOK!
( applause )
WHO SAYS YOU CAN' HAVE IT ALL?
NOW, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY
MY FAMILY'S SO PROUD,
IN THIS TEXTBOOK
AND I HEARD I WAS
AND I THOUGHT,
"WHAT PICTURE?"
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKE
ANYONE EVER PHONED
ME AND SAID,
SNAPSHOT OF YOURSELF
LOOKING DEPRESSED
OR MANIC?"
YOU KNOW,
LIKE FROM THIS SHOW.
AND, YOU KNOW,
RATHER THAN DESCRIBE I TO YOU,
I SO BADLY WAN TO SHOW IT TO YOU.
( laughter )
NO, IT'S TRUE.
IT'S REAL.
SO I'M NOT CRAZY.
THAT B*TCH IS.
A STUPID HAIRSTYLE
NOW I HAVE:
TWO MOODS:
THAT I'VE NAMED
ROY AND PAM.
NOW ROY IS:
ROLLICKING ROY,
THE WILD RIDE:
OF A MOOD.
AND PAM--
AND SOBS.
ONE MOOD:
IS THE MEAL,
THE NEXT MOOD--
THE CHECK.
EVER SINCE MY:
FATEFUL ANNOUNCEMEN ON "DIANE SAWYER"
I WENT INTO:
THIS OTHER PLACE.
AND I WAS HALLUCINATING.
LIKE ANYONE NEEDED
TO KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
I COULD SEE:
CITIES OF THE--
FUTURISTIC CITIES
OUT THE WINDOW.
I MEAN,
DON'T YOU HATE I WHEN CELEBRITIES JUST--
BLAH BLAH BLAH--
TALK ABOUT THEMSELVES,
YOU KNOW...
IT WAS AS THOUGH
WITH YOUR HAND.
...TELL YOU EVERYTHING?
I MEAN,
WHO ASKED, RIGHT?
SO WEARYING.
ACTUALLY, THAT IS
THAT'S WHY WHAT YOU'RE
WATCHING RIGHT NOW
BEHIND MY BACK.
NOW IF CARRIE--
IF CARRIE EVER:
IS DOING:
A SOLIPSISTIC,
PEOPLE-PLEASING SHOW
LIKE THIS,
SHE WOULD BE:
SO HUMILIATED.
SO, PLEASE,
( whispers )
DON'T SAY ANYTHING.
ANYWAY, HAVING WAITED
MY ENTIRE LIFE:
TO GET AN AWARD:
FOR SOMETHING--
YOU KNOW, ANYTHING.
I DON'T CARE.
OKAY FINE,
NOT ACTING.
FOR WRITING?
ALL THE TIME:
FOR BEING:
MENTALLY ILL.
NO, REALLY.
I AM APPARENTLY:
VERY VERY GOOD AT I AND I GET HONORED
FOR IT REGULARLY.
I SAID, "WELL, BABY,
YOU GOTTA BE:
A WRITER.
BUT DON'T WORRY.
YOUR MOTHER IS:
A MANIC-DEPRESSIVE
DRUG ADDICT,
YOUR GRANDMOTHER
TAP DANCES:
AND YOUR GRANDFATHER
EATS HEARING AIDS."
AND MY DAUGHTER:
LAUGHS AND LAUGHS
AND LAUGHS.
AND I SAID, "BABY,
THAT'S FUNNY
IS GONNA SAVE:
YOUR WHOLE LIFE."
YEAH.
LOCATION LOCATION
LOCATION.
NOW I HEARD SOMEONE
SAY RECENTLY:
ONLY SEEM ABLE:
TO FIND HEAVEN:
BY BACKING AWAY:
FROM HELL.
AND, YOU KNOW,
WHILE THE PLACE:
ISN'T PRECISELY EVERYONE'S
IDEA OF HEAVENLY,
I COULD SWEAR:
SOMETIMES,
IF I'M QUIET ENOUGH...
I CAN HEAR:
THE ANGELS SING.
MY MEDICATION.
BUT--
( siren wailing )
SH*T, THERE'S MY RIDE.
BEFORE I GO THOUGH
SOME OF THE WISDOMS
THAT I HAVE ACQUIRED,
YOU KNOW,
FROM GOING THROUGH
ALL THIS SH*T, OKAY?
FIRST ONE--
RESENTMENT IS LIKE
DRINKING A POISON
PERSON TO DIE.
THAT I HAVE:
I GOT FROM MY:
GRANDMOTHER--
MY MOTHER'S MOTHER,
THE CLOSET LOCKER--
WHO TAUGHT ME:
TO LAND ON SHI AS IT IS ON PIE.
THAT'S TRUE.
( laughs )
SHE ALSO SAID,
YOU'LL PEE LESS."
YOUR CARES:
AND TROUBLES:
ARE GONE:
THERE'LL BE NO MORE
FROM NOW ON:
FROM NOW ON:
HAPPY DAYS:
ARE HERE AGAIN:
THE SKIES ABOVE...
( recording continues )
ARE CLEAR AGAIN:
SO LET'S SING
A SONG:
OF CHEER AGAIN:
HAPPY TIMES:
HAPPY NIGHTS:
HAPPY DAYS:
ARE HERE:
AGAIN.
HAPPY TIMES:
HAPPY NIGHTS:
HAPPY DAYS:
ARE HERE:
AGAIN.
OKAY.
THERE.
BYE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THE DREAMS I DREAMED
HAVE ALL GONE ASTRAY.
