JAMES: LOOK AT THIS!
LOOK AT THIS! IN MY WILDEST DREAMS DID I EVER
THINK THAT I WOULD BE SAT HERE WITH JOSH LYMAN AND THE VERY
MAN WHO CREATED HIM IN "THE WEST WING."
IT IS A TRUE, TRUE HONOR FOR ME.
THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE.
BRADLEY: IT IS AARON: IT IS AN HONOR FOR ME TO
BE HERE.
I WON'T SPEAK FOR BRAD. BRADLEY: I'LL SPEAK FOR AARON.
JAMES: IN MANY WAYS YOU HAVE SPOKEN FOR HIM.
HOW BIG AN INFLUENCE ON YOUR CAREER HAS AARON HAD?
BRADLEY: INFLUENCE. I'VE SAID TO AARON ON MANY
OCCASIONS THANK YOU FOR MY CAREER, TWICE.
HE GAVE ME MY BIGGEST SHOT IN THEATER.
I GOT TO BE IN "A FEW GOOD MEN" AND THEN I GOT TO SURF IN HIS
BRAIN FOR ALL OF THOSE YEARS. IT WAS THE ROLE OF A LIFETIME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK HIM SO I DON'T.
AARON: YOU THANKED ME FOR SEVEN YEARS BY PLAYING THE PART.
JAMES: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE MEMORY WORKING WITH BRADLEY ON
"THE WEST WING"?
AARON: I HAVE A MILLION FAVORITE MEMORIES BUT HERE IS
ONE.
"THE WEST WING" CAST WERE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE TO GET
BLACKBERRIES. THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF WERE THE
FIRST PEOPLE TO GET BLACKBERRIES.
THEY WERE REAL WORKING BLACK BERRIES.
BRADLEY: REAL MODERN TECHNOLOGY.
AARON: YEAH.
BRAD WOULD HAVE A SCENE IN THE OVAL OFFICE WITH EIGHT OTHER
PEOPLE AND IT WOULD BE A 10-PAGE SCENE AND HIS ONLY LINE
WOULD BE AT THE END SAYING THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
I WOULD BE SITTING BY THE MONITOR AND MY BLACKBERRY WOULD
BUZZ BECAUSE THEY GAVE US ONE TOO AND IT WOULD BE FROM BRAD
SAYING HOW DO I LOOK? JAMES: IS THAT WHY YOU'RE GOING
TO WRITE A BIOPIC ABOUT THE GUY WHO CREATED THE BLACKBERRY?
AARON: I DON'T THINK SO.
I'LL LET BRAD TELL THIS STORY ABOUT D.C. ON THE STREET.
BRADLEY: AARON RYES THESE INCREDIBLE MONOLOGUES THAT YOU
HAVE TO KNOW AND REALLY GET THEM IN YOUR HEAD.
YOU WALK A LOT AND YOU -- IT TAKES A WHILE TO MEMORIZE THEM.
WE'RE IN D.C. IT IS A SUNDAY.
NOBODY IS DOWNTOWN. I'M WALKING AND I START DOING
THIS MONOLOGUE THAT IS TALKING ABOUT HOW DYSFUNCTIONAL
CONGRESS IS AND HOW THEY GOT TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND WHEN
PEOPLE -- AND I MEMORIZE IN PUBLIC A LOT BUT WHEN PEOPLE
COME, I JUST STOP, YOU KNOW AND FRIEND I'M WALKING AND THEN
WHEN THEY PASS I START DOING IT AGAIN.
SO I'M DOING THIS MONOLOGUE GOING BACK AND FORTH FOR LIKE
AN HOUR AND A HALF AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THESE THREE GUYS WITH
GUNS DRAWN COME AROUND THE CORNER AND WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
MY NAME'S BRAD! MY LIFE IS SILLY.
DON'T SHOOT.
I HAD BEEN DOING THIS MONOLOGUE IN FRONT OF THE F.B.I. BUILDING
AND THEY HAD BEEN WATCHING. JAMES: JUST A CRAZY MAN.
[APPLAUSE] AARON: LOOKS EXACT LICK LIKE
SOMEONE WHO WAS PSYCHING HIMSELF UP TO GO IN AND BLOW UP
A BUILDING. JAMES: WHAT IS THAT ON HIS
BELT? BRADLEY, SOMEONE TOLD ME AND I
DON'T KNOW, YOU HAVE BROUGHT SOMETHING ALONG WITH YOU.
BRADLEY: I DID BECAUSE YOU'RE A BIG WEST WEST FREAK.
I BROUGHT YOU -- JAMES: NO!
BRADLEY: A T-SHIRT. JAMES: SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!
NO WAY! AARON: I COULD HAVE BROUGHT
STUFF?
BRADLEY: AARON WILL SIGN IT.
JAMES: THIS IS HUGE FOR ME. BRADLEY: THIS I THINK IS REALLY
IMPORTANT.
IT IS A "WEST WING" FLASHLIGHT. JAMES: SHUT UP!
BRADLEY: AFTER A WHILE WE RAN OUT OF IDEAS.
AARON: SINCE THE SHOW IS CANCELED, I'M MAKING MONEY ON
THIS STUFF. JAMES: IS THIS YOUR OWN STUFF
OR STUFF YOU JUST HAD?
BRADLEY: IT IS LEFT OVER. HAVE SORKIN SIGN THE HALF.
JAMES: DO I LOOK WEIRD BIKE ONE OF THOSE GUY WHO IS OWNS
PORSCHE GEAR AND DOESN'T OWN A PORSCHE?
BRADLEY: A LITTLE BIT.
JAMES: WOULD YOU FEEL WEIRD IF I HANK OUT OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE
DRESSED LIKE THIS.
HEY, AARON, WHEN IS THE SHOW COMING BACK?
AARON: I WOULD I WOULD FEEL REALLY GOOD.
JAMES: BRADLEY, YOU SO KIND.
YOU SO KIND.
AARON: I'M KIND TOO.
I JUST DIDN'T THINK -- JAMES: YOU SAY THAT, BUT IT IS
THE DOING.
IT IS IN THE DOING, ISN'T IT? NEXT TIME YOU COME BACK, YOU
CAN BRING SOME AMAZING GIFTS. NOW YOU HAVE WRITTEN -- IS IT
WEIRD?
I'M ROCKING IT. [APPLAUSE]
DO YOU THINK I COULD GET AWAY WITH SAYING I WAS IN IT?
I'M ROB LOWE. AARON: ABSOLUTELY.
JAMES: I'M WORKING ON A ROLE, I'M LIKE MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY.
