River Phoenix being himself for almost 4 minutes

I want to be a cruel bastard in my next, um, El Oscar por Televisa. Is that right? Thank you very much. It's when, like your character, it might be time to, uh... Don't say that, please. Okay, I won't. I'm trying to ignore that about me getting old. I wouldn't say old. I just turned 17. That means I have one more year and then I'm out on my own. But it wouldn't have been fun. It would have been scary. We don't want to make it scary. We want to make it fun. It was just about a year ago this time. You were up for an Academy Award. And, uh, Kevin was, Kevin Kline was up. And Kevin won. Bastard. What did you... Everyone on this set, everyone has said the same thing. You're terrific. You're a terrific actor. Oh, God. And a wonderful kid. That's true. Really? Everyone, yeah. How much did you pay him? They say, listen, it's time to go to sleep now. I mean, speaking when I was younger. It's time to go to bed now. And then you'll say, uh, well, you know, I want to go out. I want to do this, this and that. And they'll say, no, this is what, you know, you should be doing. You have an early call tomorrow morning or something. You have responsibilities to attend. You should get some sleep. And you'll say, well, what time is it? And they'll say, time to go to sleep. Or, you know, that little twist of, oh, you want to just... Aren't you about to celebrate your 18th birthday? Yeah. Happy birthday in advance. Thank you so much. I mean, I don't know many people who will remember my birthday. And, uh, that's really nice of you. And you have a large family, and I hope they all remember. Of course. Are we going to hear that? Are you going to hear that? I don't have the tape on me. You should release it. I think it would be great. Release it? Sure. Why not? Because it's for me. Oh, all right. It's a private venture. Oh, okay. That is a lot of fun. Okay. But I play it for friends and stuff. As far as, I don't know. Well, we've used up our time. But, again, it's been very nice. Yeah. It's been very nice talking with you. You stay out of this. We're talking some more. No. Okay. But now. You haven't been vaccinated. No, I haven't. But you didn't ask that. So, as you were saying, the question was, do I use deodorant? No. Even when I get around? Lots of questions here. Whenever I can. We've got lots of people. You're glad you didn't win? Yeah. Kevin is much more deserving. Oh, right. And here you guys are together. Yeah. I was just like, ah, Kevin. Because I was a victim in the other films. You know, this kind of victim slash tragic hero. And this was now, like, I was victimizing. Oh, River, good morning. Good morning. It's... Actually, I was so relieved and so happy he won. I just, like, jumped out of the chair. And the Oscar goes to... Kevin Kline and A Fish Called Wanda. I die thinking about it. Were you, um... Were you in... No, you weren't. Never mind. Was I what? Uh, never mind. It's irrelevant. Okay. We'll call you back. Bye.
