I'm Still Here Page #2

"What do you

want to eat, Al?"

"I don't know--"

Why are you doing an accent?

I'm not.

"I don't know. What do you

want to eat, Al--" oh no.

So I tried to do the scene

and about halfway through it

he's like, "Dude, you're doing it

in an accent now." I'm like, "I'm not!"

"I'll have the roast pork tenderloin

with applesauce and mashed potatoes."

Are you doing an accent?

No, I'm not.

I'm f***ing stressed

because I just feel the f***ing--

just the f***ing obligation

is not on you.

You don't have the pressure

of f***ing hundreds of kids

that are getting this funding

for this f***ing play.

So that if the performance

isn't received well

or if I'm not received well,

that it comes back-- that it's bigger than me.

All you have to deal with is me.

You don't see me complaining.

It's like f***ing Sean said,

we're here for the kids.

That's what it's about.

You're not. You're here for me.

Just help-- just do that.

Dude, this is the last thing

that I'm doing

and you're thinking

about yourself as the lead,

instead of thinking about what this really is,

which is my last moment.

I wasn't thinking about myself.

I never thought-- it never crossed my mind.

You're acting

with f***ing everybody.

You get to do a scene

with f***ing Hanks.

You do a scene with f***ing--

with Sean.

You do a scene-- you're gonna

get to stand there when f***ing--

Jack's up there doing his thing.

And, with all due respect,

I'm with f***ing

Danny De Vito.

Why did you have him

put it on the card for?

That's the dinner. You get that at 6:00.

See, it's 10 to 6:00?

- That clock says 6:00.

- Yeah, it's 10 minutes fast.

The clock says 6:00.

Joaquin, how are you, my man?

Nice to see you again.

Hey, Casey, how are you?

- What's up? How are you?

- Good to see you.

Listen, I want to take

this opportunity

also to give you an exclusive

and just talk a little bit about the fact

that this will be my last performance

as an actor. I'm not doing films anymore.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

Joaquin Phoenix done with acting?

Listen, I want to take

this opportunity

also to give you an exclusive

and just talk a little bit about the fact

that this will be

my last performance as an actor.

I'm not doing films anymore.

That's what he told our Jerry Penacoli.

Joaquin, say it ain't so.

The phone has been ringing off the hook.

The emails are out of control.

Sue, "Two Lovers" will be

my last press stuff that I'll do.

And I'm not acting anymore

and I'm doing this hip-hop record.

And all the world is green

So pretend that you owe...

It's not hard enough to make a transition

and I don't need my f***ing brother-in-law

- making it more difficult.
