>>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE BACK HERE WITH THE STAR OF
THE NEW MOVIE "A MAN CALLED OTTO."
MR. TOM HANKS. THE NEW FILM IS "A MAN CALLED
OTTO." YOU AND YOUR LOVELY WIFE, RITA,
PRODUCED THIS FILM, DEVELOPED IT FROM A SWEDISH FILM "A MAN
CALLED OVE." TELL THE GOOD PEOPLE WHAT IT'S
ABOUT. >> IT'S ABOUT THE CRANK IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S ABOUT THE GUY IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD WHO SAYS, "GET OFF MY LAWN.
KEEP THAT DOG AWAY FROM ME. YOU CAN'T PARK THERE.
DON'T YOU PEOPLE KNOW, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, THAT THE
RECYCLABLES ARE CLEARLY DELINEATED.
THE PLASTIC GOES IN THE PLASTIC BIN!
THE CANS GO IN THE CAN, CAN! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
WHY CAN YOU NOT SEPARATE THESE THINGS THE WAY THEY NEED TO BE
SEPARATED? THAT'S WHO THE MAN IS.
PLEUZ. >> Stephen: THAT'S INVESTMENT.
THAT'S EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT. >> BY THE WAY, ARE YOU THE OTTO
IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? THE STEPHEN COLBERT GUY.
DOES EVIE COME OUT -- >> Stephen: SHE'S THE MUSCLE.
>> "A WOMAN NAMED EVIE." CAREFUL NOW.
THERE'S A REASON HE IS THIS WAY. AND WHAT HAPPENS IS A FABULOUS--
THE ACTRESS MARIANA TREVINO, WHO IS A HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, HUGE
ACTRESS-- ACTOR IN MEXICO, IS IN IT.
SHE MOVES ACROSS THE STREET, AND ALL HELL BUSTS LOOSE.
>> Stephen: WE'VE GOT A CLIP HERE.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
>> SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT AUTOMOBILE.
WHICH IS INSANITY TO A MAN CALLED OTTO.
WHO CANNOT DRIVE-- FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO
DRIVE A CAR. IF YOU CAN'T DRIVE A STICK, YOU
ARE NOT ACTUALLY DRIVING A CAR. SO HE SAYS, "I WILL TEACH YOU
HOW TO DRIVE THIS CAR." A STICK.
>> Stephen: JIM. >> JUST WAIT FOR THE GREEN
LIGHT. AND HERE WE GO.
PRESS IN ON THE CLUTCH. AND GIVE IT A LITTLE GAS.
SLOWLY LET OUT-- YOU'RE NOT IN GEAR
( HORNS HONKING ) ) YOU DON'T HAVE TO TURN THE KEY.
>> OH, MY GOSH. >> SLOWLY LET OUT THE CLUTCH.
LISTEN TO ME. YOU HAVE GIVEN BIRTH TO TO
CHILDREN. YOU LEARNED A NEW LANGUAGE.
YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE.
PLY GOD, THE SWORLD FULL OF COMPLETE IDIOTS WHO HAVE MANAGED
TO FIGURE IT OUT, AND YOU ARE NOT A COMPLETE IDIOT.
SO CLUTCH, SHIFT,s GAS,s DRIVE.
AAAAH! >> AND THERE YOU HAVE IT.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO. >> Stephen: IT'S A MESSAGE OF
HOPE IS WHAT IT IS. >> AS I HAVE INSTRUCTED IT'S
ONLY THING-- WHO HERE CANNOT DRIVE A STICK SHIFT?
LET'S SEE THE HAND. OH, YOU'RE ALL IDIOTS, FOR
CRYING OUT LOUD. WHAT COUNTRY DID YOU GROW UP IN?
THE SECRET OF DRIVING IS DON'T BE IN THIRD.
THAT'S ONLY THING-- YOU'RE IN THIRD --
>> Stephen: THERE'S NO REASON TO EVER BE IN THIRD?
>> YOU'RE IN THIRD, YOU'RE IN THIRD.
ALL RIGHT, CLUTCH IN, THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME, PUT IT IN
GEAR, AND LET THE CLUTCH OUT SLOWLY.
YOU'RE IN THIRD. YOU'RE IN THIRD GEAR.
>> Stephen: DO YOU REMEMBER LEARNING?
LIKE THE CAR? >> YOU KNOW, I'LL TELL YOU, BACK
WHEN-- A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER "BOSOM BUDDIES "AND I HAD MONEY
IN THE BANK," WIWANT TO THE CRACK STAFF BUSINESS MANAGER AND
SAID, "CAN I BUY ANY CAR I WANT NOW?"
THEY HAD,s, ACTUALLY, YEAH, YOU PRETTY MUCH CAN."
I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A VOLKSWAGEN CAMPER THAT HAD A
STEERING WHEEL -- >> Stephen: I THOUGHT YOU SAID
YOU BOUGHT A LAMBORGHINI. >> IT HAD A STEERING WHEEL TRULY
THIS BIG, AND THE GEAR SHIFT WHICH WAS A STICK WAS OVER HERE.
>> Stephen: YOU HAD TO GET UP AND WALK TO IT.
>> ALMOST LIKE THAT. AND YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED
PANIC UNTIL A HILL IN SAN FRANCISCO AND A STOP LIGHT, AND
YOU HAVE TO NOT ONLY GET IT-- BUT YOU HAVE TO DO THE HEEL AND
THE TOE WITH THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR AND SLOWLY LET OUT.
AND YOU HAVE TO BE IN FIRST GE GEAR.
>> Stephen: THE PROBLEM, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN FIRST GERK
BECAUSE THE CAR I LEARNED TO DRIVE STICK ON WAS WHEN I WAS
DOING A CONSTRUCTION JOB ONE SUMMER BETWEEN MY JUNIOR AND
SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL. AND THE OWNER I HAD TO DRIVE
HIS TRUCK TO GET SUPPLIES. IT DIDN'T HAVE A FIRST GEAR.
IT WAS COMPLETELY BURNED OUT. >> OH, BURNED OUT GLI HAD TO
START IN SECOND-- GEAR WHICH MEANT YOU HAD TO GET THE R.P.s
UP, LIKE THE BOMB WAS ABOUT TO EXPLODE, AND YOU HAD TO TAKE
YOUR FOOT OFF THE CLUTCH LIKE YOU WERE DEFUSING A NUCLEAR
WEAPON. >> YOU HAD TO GET ROLLING A
LITTLE BIT. >> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.
ALL I KNOW IS I COULD NOT TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE CLUTCH SLOWLY
ENOUGH TO MAKE IT WORK. >> I BELIEVE THAT'S HOW JAMES
BOND WAS ALMOST KILLED IN A MOVIE.
>> Stephen: YES. THE SECRET SERVICE, EXACTLY.
>> THIS ASTON MARTON HAS NOTICE FIRST GEAR, MR. BOND.
AND YOU WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE AUTOBAHN.
YOU EXPECT ME TO TALK? NO, MR. BOND, I EXPECT YOU TO
DIE. >> Stephen: DID YOU ENJOY,
PEOPLE-- >> HOLD ON ONE SECOND, WILL YOU?
( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: OH, MY GOSH. PEOPLE ARE UNDER THE MISTAKEN
IMPRESSION THAT YOU'RE A PLEASANT PERSON.
( LAUGHTER )
PERSON, TO LET IT ALL OUT? >> HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO SMASH
THE TV REMOTE AGAINST THE WALL AND STORM OUT OF THE ROOM?
THIS WAS LIKE THAT FOR ME EVERY DAY.
IT WAS MAGNIFICENT, MAGNIFICENT, SATISFYING MOMENT, JUST LET
OUT-- LET OUT THE CRANK. BECAUSE ALMOST-- WHEN I'M AROUND
THE HOUSE, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT I'VE GONE OFF THE DEEP END WHEN
I BEGIN A CONVERSATION WITH THIS PHRASE, "LET ME GET THIS
STRAIGHT." "OH, HERE GOES DAD.
WHAT DID WE DO, DAD? DID WE LEAVE THE RICE POT IN THE
SINK NOT SCRUBBED OUT? DID WE-- ."
>> Stephen: THAT'S THE LEVEL OF CRISIS?
>> IT'S MASSIVE WITH ME. "LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT."
NOTHING WORKS FOR ME-- THAT'S THE OTHER.
WHY WON'T IT WORK FOR ME! DAD IS YELLING DOWN.
WHY WON'T THE REMOTE WORK FOR ME?
I PRESS MENU, I PRESS POWER, I PRESS INPUT.
I PRESS MODE, I WENT ON THE APP AND FOUND THE --
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE MODE? YOU HAVE MODE?
YOU KNOW IT'S LIKE ON-OFF. WHY CAN'T THAT BE THAT'S ALL IT
TAKES. AND IT NEVER WORKS-- I ONCE
PUT-- I WAS ONCE TRYING TO GET A DVD TO PLAY, AND I PRESSED SO
MANY BUTTONS ON THE DVD PLAYER, YOU KNOW WHERE IT SAYS "OPEN" OR
"CLOSE" OR "READING." I SWEAR TO GOD IT SAY
"GOOD-BYE." >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK.
