Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip Page #8

---

Third day.

"Are you all right?

Today we're gonna put you in..."

"Yeah. Larry. You're gonna wash

my ass in the tub. Okay?

Goddamn."

Then they take you in the room

and get you in the tub...

with solutions.

And you sit in the tub and say...

"Yeah. Motherf***er. Tub. Right.

Gonna wash. I know."

- They say, "Feel this? It's a sponge."

- I say. "It's a sponge, motherf***er.

So? Wash my ass."

"All right.

Put your arms up. 'cause..."

"Wash me, motherf***er."

"Now it's time to wash you. Ready?"

I said. "Yeah." Motherf***er said...

"Don't.

Don't wash me no more.

Not even my little finger.

No!

No, you will not.

Don't you wash

a motherfuckin' thing.

I don't want you

to touch my finger.

I don't want you to do

a goddamn thing to me.

Don't wash me

no motherfuckin' more.

And if you do, I'll bite you.

You motherf***er.

Don't you wash me anymore.

I don't care if I die.

Don't you wash me no more."

But they were wonderful. Man.

Pain sure stops racism quick.

Wasn't no color in there

except burnt-up motherfuckers.

And we all got religious.

You find God quick

when they find your ass dead.

I was watching TV one night,

and they said I had died.

I was bandaged up,

and they said...

"Richard Pryor died

five minutes ago."

But I thank God every day. Jack.

I do.

I say, "God. Thank you

for not burning my dick."

'Cause most people said.

"You've been punished by God."

I say, "No. If God wanted

to punish my ass...

He'd have burnt my dick."

Now. That's some punishment...

'cause when that tire hit my ass.

My dick went to work.

He said, "Emergency!

Piss. Come! Do something!

Keep the fire off the balls!"

And my chest was hollering. "Help!"

The dick said...

"F*** you! Go tor yourself!

I'm protecting the balls!

Spit!"

You got a light? A match?

Can I have a match?

Thank you.

Don't do it!

Watch out.

Listen. Y'all...

have been wonderful

to come and share this with us...

and I thank everyone

connected with...

It's been a pleasure tor me

to do this and get up here...

and I thank you very much.

I want to say y'all gave me a lot

of love when I was not feeling well...

and I appreciate it.

Also, y'all did some...

Yeah. Applaud yourself.

Also. Y'all did

some nasty-ass jokes on my ass too.

Yeah. Y'all didn't think I saw

some of these motherfuckers.

Since you love me so much.

I remember this one.

What's that? Richard Pryor

running down the street.
