Bill Cosby: Far from Finished

---

Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome Bill Cosby !

Hello!

All right.

Happy to have all of you here.

And

" you'll know the meaning of this

by end of the show "

When I said to some people

"I'm coming to cerritos,"

they said :
"Ooh, good."

I said :
"We're gonna tape

for a TV show."

So they said :
"Oh, yeah?

What... what... a special for...?"

I said :
"Yeah."

So they said :

"Well, which one?"

I said :
"Comedy Central."

So they said..........

" you?"

I said :
"Yeah."

"Is this... is this

a new Comedy Central?"

I said :
"No, it's the one

that you see all the time."

So, like, one of the guys

started crying.

So I said :

"What's the matter?"

He said...

"Mr. Cosby's gonna curse."

And they walked away.

So then,

another couple, they said :

"We... we hear you're...

you're gonna do a special."

I said :
"Yeah."

So they said :

"On Comedy Central?"

They went like this...

I said :
"Yeah."

They said...

"Then uh, we can expect

to see some, uh..."

I said :
"Not really."

"Well,

what are you gonna do?"

I said :
"I'm gonna

almost talk, that way."

They said :

"What do you mean?"

I said :
"You know,

you aim at it, and you hit it,

but nobody

heard you firing ! "

As you grow,

you find people in your way.

Old people.

Two of 'em, you lived with.

So you become...

A person who,

now managing your life,

you fall in love.

And you see the person

that you want to spend

the rest of your life with.

And you ask that person

to be with you when you die.

I mean... I mean,

that's essentially what I said.

I didn't realize

what I was saying,

but I said that.

I , I thought

I was being romantic.

I said to her,

"I would like to spend

the rest of my life with you."

Well, if you...

see, love...

When... there used to be a time

when songwriters wrote words,

and they...

They had...

"I lov... I'm crazy about you.

I love you.

I just can't think right.

I'm going mad."

And all of that.

And... and...

And it's true !

You're not making any sense.

You want somebody

to be with you until you die.

That's not love.

You know, I don't know

what you can call it,

but it's not romantic either.

I mean, you think about it,

you know, she's there,

and you say,

"I would like to spend

the rest of my life

with you."

Oh, whoops.

Wait a minute.

Whoops.

Wait a minute.

Let's go back and listen

to your grandmother.

After your grandfather died...

And ten years later,

somebody says :

"Grandma, don't you want

to meet somebody, a man?"

"I don't want to take care

of another old man."

See, she's not in love anymore.

Grandma goes :

"Oh, no, you don't.

You don't get me

one of those old things, man."

When you fall in love,

you accept craziness.

See...

Here she is.

Right there.

She's called the "girlfriend."

Girlfriend.

Now, this person

is wonderful for you.

She will even drink beer...

With you

and lay up in your ar...

She will watch sports...

With you,

and... and even know

your friends by name...

And say the names like

she really likes the person.

She's a wonderful person.

This is the girlfriend.

Friend

Girl...

Okay?

Loving you!

Pick you up anywhere.

"Come and get me."

Zoom.

Right there.

You can say to her,

"Do you have any money?"

She will... she will say,

"I'm sorry, I don't."

Well, you can't get everything.

There she is.

But...

After 49 years of experience,

she is the lure.

You ever do fishing?

The lure is something

very beautiful,

and it bobs in the water.

And it draws you...

Yeah.

So nice, this person.

So wonderful.

You... you leave her, and she'll

call three minutes later.

"I miss you."

Yeah.

You can call her.

Any hour

Any hour

She's... "Yes, oh, yes.

I miss you so much.

When are you..."

"Yes."

The girl...

....Friend

Thank you very much.

So you want her...

So badly that you...

Want to spend the rest

of your life

with the girl...

... Friend

That's who you're proposing to.

So now you have

to go get a diamond...

Because a diamond

is A Girl's...

... Best Friend

Hey

Love... love is not...

you're not clear.

You're not thinking...

you're not saying to yourself,

"Wait a minute,

she's my girlfriend.

"But if I want her to spend

the rest of my life,

I have to go get her ,her friend

And maybe more

Now, everything

I'm telling you is not anti

You know, none of it is anti

I'm just trying to make it

clear for the males,

because somebody keeps

telling us that we are...

"You're the man.

You're..."

No.

What we are

is not paying attention.

You got to pay attention.

There are people...

there are paradigms

of what is coming.

Your own father.

See, you think you can use him

because he's quiet.

And who helped him

to become that?

See, it doesn't register

with you that his wife...

"Don't say that

about my mother..."

Hey... your mother...

You know, I can't say

"wore him down"

or "beat him down."

It's his choice

to be a quiet man.

A man who used to love to talk.

A man who took you out places,

came back with you,

and then she said :

"What did you do?"

And you told her

what you and dad did.

And then she told him

not to do that anymore.

I'm jumping ahead,

'cause I'm not talking

about the girlfriend.

I'm talking

about where we're going.

Yeah, here she is

"" The wife ""

See, when you... there's...

the game of chess.

Supposedly, men made it up,

and it's about war and men
