The Fluffy Movie: Unity Through Laughter Page #5
You guys take it all.
"Oh, no, you didn't. Oh, hell, no!
"I know he ain't talkin' 'bout me!
"Uh-Uh. I hear the bell!
I hear the bell!"
I made myself dizzy doing that.
So let me tell you guys.
If you ever get the opportunity
to travel to India,
I encourage you to check it out.
You are going to see
some beautiful things.
You are going to see
some amazing things.
You are going to see some sad,
depressing things
and some real horrible things.
Overall, it's a well-balanced trip.
But when you get back home
here to the United States,
you will have a whole different
appreciation for your life.
Believe that.
I guarantee this, you guys.
There's a lot of people in India,
and with a lot of people
comes a lot of traffic.
First things first.
American traffic and Indian traffic,
very different.
Here, whatever happens on the freeway
will stop the whole freeway.
In India, there's 10 times
the traffic, but it moves.
See, the problem is Americans,
we're fascinated by accidents.
We're fascinated by the idea
That's why we slow
down on the freeways.
We say we don't want to see it,
but what happens in traffic?
You know...
"What's going on over there?"
There doesn't even
have to be a collision.
You could be on the 101 freeway
and a car has a tire
blowout, and it spins.
Doesn't hit anything.
It's now facing oncoming traffic.
You know what happens to
the rest of the freeway?
Even on the other freeway,
where there's no accident.
And again, "Why? What's going on?
What's going on?"
"I'm sorry. Hey, somebody might
be dead. Sorry. Oh."
In India, if there's an accident
in the middle of the street,
you know what they do?
They don't stop.
And it's not that they're not
sensitive to the situation.
They are. It's just that
there's so much chaos
that happens on a regular basis,
they just need to get to work.
They do see what's happening,
and, believe me,
they're heartfelt, you know.
They'll drive around, you know.
"I am so sorry for you."
Nothing stops the flow
of traffic in India.
They need to get from point A to
point B, and so they go. They go.
If there's an accident,
they drive around.
If there's something
blocking the street,
they get on the
sidewalk to go around.
It's amazing, the way they drive.
And here's something else.
No one uses turn signals over there.
No one uses turn signals.
They use a horn.
Now, if you go to India tomorrow,
from the time you get there
to the time you leave,
you're constantly
going to hear a horn.
It's an actual language
when people are driving.
I'll show you. You're driving.
Car on your right. Car on
your left. Light up ahead.
They talk to each other
while they're driving,
and they barely miss each
Also, you'll be on the
101 freeway here,
and there'll be six lanes.
In India, you'll see six lanes,
but guess what?
You'll see 12 cars across.
Yes, they have lines, but they're
basically there to let you know
more or less the direction
you might want to go in.
They're this close to each other,
and even at the light,
they communicate.
You see everything,
cars, trucks, vans,
motorcycles, pedestrians,
cows, children,
all waiting for the light.
And they talk at the
light with the horn.
"Very good. You can go. You can go."
"Welcome. You're welcome. Go, go."
Nothing stops the flow
of traffic over there.
Indian people drive... Think of ants.
You know how ants travel
in a straight line,
and if there's something in the way,
like a rock, ants will split up,
go around the rock, and reunite,
or climb over the rock.
Worst-case scenario, they dig
a hole and go under the rock.
That's the mentality
of driving in India.
A man can get shot in
the middle of the street.
People just look at each other.
"Somebody pick him up."
And they'll drag his
ass onto the sidewalk,
and if there's an accident
and they need to get around,
guess what's going to happen
to that guy on the sidewalk.
Nothing stops the flow
of traffic in India,
except a cow.
Now, I know we've always heard
the stories and the jokes about,
"Oh, Indian people
don't eat hamburgers."
I asked the question,
and I found out.
It's believed that cows
are people who have died,
and they've been reincarnated,
and their new life is now the cow,
which is why they don't eat them
and why they give 'em all the love
and respect in the world over there.
I saw this firsthand.
There's a cow crossing the
street while we're driving.
And the cows know. They're cocky.
They know that they can cross.
Frigging... All the cars...
And the cow's out there all cocky.
No one honks at the cows.
No one yells at the cows.
No one touches the cows.
They wait for the cows
to finish crossing.
The cow that we had laid down.
The driver just shut off the car.
Started tweeting.
"There is a cow
"in the middle of the street.
"#moomoo."
I asked the driver,
"What's going on?"
"Sir, there is a cow."
"I see that there's a cow.
"Are you going to honk at it, go around?
What's going to happen?"
"We cannot...
We cannot honk at the cow.
"We must wait for the cow to move."
"You're kidding."
"I am not kidding.
We must wait for the cow,"
"We drove past a dead
body 15 minutes ago."
"That is probably him."
Like, seriously, the driving
situation over there
is so intense, you guys.
One morning, one morning
while we're there,
I needed to get to the airport fast,
because I overslept,
and so I get in the cab,
and I hand the driver a $50 bill,
and I go, "Sir,
I am running very late.
"I need to get to the
airport as soon as possible.
"Whatever side street
you have to take
"or back road, I'm all for it.
"Whatever you have
to do, let's do it."
And I hand him the money,
and he goes,
"Very good. Let'sgo,"
and we take off.
The guy is hitting anywhere from
50 to 70 miles an hour on the street.
We are making incredible time.
I notice that we're heading in
the direction of a red light.
Have you ever been
in a car with someone,
and you're paying attention
to what's going on,
and you notice that you're
about to hit a red light?
And you know how you start
to mentally and physically
prepare yourself for the
deceleration of the car
and you start anticipating
the pressure from the brake?
And if you don't get the sensation
of slowing down by a certain point,
all alarms go off in your head,
and you sock the driver in the chest.
"Hey!"
Not only did I not get the sensation
of slowing down, I got the opposite.
He gunned it towards the light,
and it caught me off-guard.
I couldn't even scream. I was like...
And then... And then I got air.
"Hey! Pull over! Pull over!"
He didn't even know what he did.
He looks at me. He goes,
- "What is wrong?"
- "What do you mean, 'What is wrong?'
"Dude, didn't you see the red light?"
As calm as can be,
"Didn't you see there
was no one there?
"You told me, 'Whatever
