my friend Jonathan Winters.

-(audience applauds)

Robin:

I saw my father watching

The Tonight Show,

with Jonathan Winters.

My dad was a sweet man

but not an easy laugh.

Jonathan Winters (on TV):

I did a thing that, uh,

a lot of us... probably

would like to do.

Maybe a few

of us don't.

I don't know.

I'll just have to ask you:

Did you ever undress

in front of a dog?

(audience laughs)

Robin:

My dad lost it, and I went,

"Who is this guy?

You made the great

white father laugh."

Do something with a stick.

Watch him do

a routine with the stick.

You can give him anything.

(whooshing)

Well, that was

a pretty good cast,

wasn't it, Bob?

I think we're onto something

this time. Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry, Margaret.

Try to swim in.

Doctor, I'm not kidding.

I seen them beetles,

and this is one

of their feelers.

(laughter)

Thoop.

The United Nations...

now recognizes the delegate

from NASA-Land.

(hums)

-Oh! Mr. Williams!

-Elmo.

What are you gonna

do with that stick?

Oh, there's lots of things

you can do

with a stick, Elmo.

Hey, you maybe

could be playing

hockey with it.

(whooshing)

Yeah, I been goalie now

for about three years,

and it hasn't affected me.

Maybe it could be

like a baton.

(imitating Lawrence Welk):

There you are,

conducting a full orchestra.

Thank you, Madonna,

for that lovely lingerie melody.

I better go back.

We'll never be able

to do that.

(laughter)

I realize.

Or it could be a cane.

(mimics Ronald Regan)

Well, Nancy and I

are just happy

to be here.

Or you can play Pinocchio:

The Home Game.

I have two

Academy Awards, Elmo.

Stuff like that, Elmo,

just simple things.

-Ah. Uh-huh. Oh.

-Yeah.

And I'll tell you

what I'm gonna do

with this stick.

-What?

-I'm gonna give it to you.

Oh. Thank you,

Mr. Robbins.

Mr. Robbins?

I'm taking

the stick back, Elmo.

(laughter)

(Robin laughing)

Elmo:

I only had three lines!

Robin:

When I was 16,

we moved to San Francisco.

To everything,

turn, turn, turn...

Robin:

Boom! Everything opened up.

The whole world just changed.

Turn, turn, turn...

Robin:

Everything was loose,

sexually loose,

everything, and I was

going, "Well, okay!"

From yin to yang

in 24 hours.

A time to be born,

a time to die

A time to plant...

We were going

from Detroit, Middle West,

all-boys school,

to an open-ended

San Francisco high school.

It's this incredibly

relaxed thing.

There was

no discipline at all.

It was like we had

gestalt history classes.

"Can you see Lincoln?

He's in the back

of the room."

To everything,

turn, turn, turn

There is

a season, turn...

Robin:

I was in

a senior class parody

of all of the stuff that was
