>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS ON "SWISS ARMY MAN."
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: THIS IS A FANTASTIC MOVIE WHERE, AGAIN,
YOU'RE TAKING AN INCREDIBLE-- YOU'RE TAKING A REAL CHALLENGE,
A REAL RISK BY PLAYING A CORPSE WHO FARTS A LOT AND HAS
ERECTIONSES THAT ACT AS A COMPASS.
>> YUP.
>> Stephen: IN THE MOVIE.
HONESTLY, YOUR ERECTION IS A COMPASS.
>> YES, IT IS POINTth WAY HOME.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
YES, YES.
THAT'S OFTEN THE FEELING.
OKAY, AND YOU ARE ACTUALLY TEACHING PAUL DANOS' CHARACTER
HOW TO BE A HUMAN BEING AS A CORPSE.
YOU CAN EXPLAIN ANY OF THAT TO ME?
>> NOT REALLY.
BASICALLY, PAUL DANOA' CHARACTER IS A DEPRESSED SUICIDAL MAN WHO
FINDS A DEAD BODY WHO IS COMING TO LIFE AND THROUGH BECOMING
FRIENDS WITH THE DEAD BODY IT BECOMES A DISCUSSION BETWEEN A
SUICIDAL MAN AND A DEAD PODDY ABOUT WHETHER LIFE IS WORTH
LIVING.
BUT IT'S SUPER FUN -- >> BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY!
>> THAT'S THE THING.
THIS FILM, A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE HEARD OF IT AS BEING
SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF THE FARTING ERECTION MOVIE.
I'M NOT SHYING AWAY FROM THAT SIDE OF IT.
THOSE THINGS EXIST IN IT AND ARE AMAZING AND YOU WILL LAUGH AND
THEY'RE INSANE AND THEY-- YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD ON THIS
ONE-- THEY BECOME BEAUTIFUL, ALL THOSE BIZARRE MOMENT S.
>> Stephen: BEAUTIFUL?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: FARTING AND ERECTIONS.
>> YEAH, YOU DON'T THINK IT'S POSSIBLE, BUT I PROMISE YOU,
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS MOVIE WORTH SEEING, LIKE, REALLY.
BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE.
NONE OF IT SHOULD BE.
>> Stephen: IT CELEBRATES THE PART OF BEING A HUMAN BEING THAT
WE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT?
>> THAT'S WHAT THIS MOVIE REALLY IS I THINK ABOUT, CELEBRATING
OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL WEIRDNESS AND ACCEPTING THAT.
AND CELEBRATING THERE ARE SOME THINGS LIKE FARTING, WHICH ARE
HILARIOUS.
AND IT'S KIND OF A GREAT LEVELER.
>> Stephen: WE UNDERSTAND AT AGE FOUR WE KNOW THAT FARTING IS
FUNNY.
>> AND WE KIND OF KNOW THAT IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE, AND
EVERYONE DOES IT, BUT WE'RE ALSO SORT OF TAUGHT THAT IT'S NOT
GOOD AND THAT, LIKE, IT CAN BE A SHAMEFUL THING.
AND THE WHOLE POINT OF THE FILM IS THE IDEA THAT SHAME OR SHAME
FROM YOURSELF IS WHAT KEEPS FRU, LIKE, LOVE.
>> Stephen: AS A CATHOLIC, I BELIEVE THAT NO ONE FARTED UNTIL
EVE GAVE ADAM THE APPLE.
THAT'S WHAT STARTED IT.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: NOW, NOT ONLY DO YOU PLAY A CORPSE IN IT, BUT YOU
HAVE A CO-CORPSE.
THIS WAS A DUMMY, YOUR CHARACTER IS NAMED MANNY.
AND THIS WAS A DUMMY MADE FOR THE MOVIE ORIGINALLY, RIGHT, BUT
PAUL DANOS DIDN'T USE IT, RIGHT?
>> PAUL CARRIES MY CHARACTER AROUND ON HIS BACK FOR LOTS OF
THE FILM SO I THINK THEY WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SOMETHING
THAT WAS SLIGHTLY EASIER GOING ON HIM.
BUT IT ENDED UP ONLY BEING, I THINK, 30 POUNDS LIGHTER THAN I
AM.
HE WAS LIKE I'LL TAKE THE REAL THING.
>> Stephen: SO HE LUGS YOU-- WHEN YOU SEE HIM LUG YOU AROUND
IN THE MOVIE, THAT'S REALLY YOU.
>> THAT'S REALLY ME.
>> Stephen: EASY ON YOU, I BET.
>> I'M VERY PROUD OF THE VERY MINIMAL AMOUNT OF DUMMY WORK
THAT IS IN THE FILM.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: ONE NICE THING IS
I KNOW YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO ON THE WEB SITE AND YOU CAN SORT OF
SIGN UP AND BE FRIENDS WITH MANNY AND HE'LL--
>> SIGN UP.
>> -- OKAY, SO THERE'S A GAME WHERE YOU GO KGO ONLINE AND
THROW MY LIFELESS CORPSE AROUND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT.
PLEASE, YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION.
DO IT.
IT'S QUITE FUN.
IF YOU PLAY THE GAME FOR A WHILE IT TELLS YOU TO TEXT A NUMBER.
I TEXT IT AND IT ASKS YOU QUESTIONS THAT MANNY ASKS IN THE
FILM.
I WAS IN REHEARSAL THE OTHER DAY, I DON'T KNOW TALKING ABOUT
SOMETHING IMPORTANT AND HEAVY LIKE SNOWDEN AND MY PHONE STARTS
VIBRATING WHICH IS EMBARRASSING ANYWAY, BECAUSE I SHOULDN'T HAVE
IT IT ON, AND IT'S TEXTING ME, "WHAT IS SEX?"
IT IS TEXTING ME BIZARRE QUESTIONS.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS SEX?
>> I THINK I JUST SAID, "IT'S GREAT, YOU WOULD ENJOY IT."
I THINK THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF THE ADVICE I GAVE.
I WAS IN REHEARSAL.
>> Stephen: ALL THE INFORMATION THAT THE CHARACTER
MANY AND THE WEB SITE IS GATHERING ON US AS WE TEXT BACK
AND FORTH IS THAT ALL BEING GIVEN TO THE N.S.A. AND C.I.A..
>> YOU HAVE FOUND AN AMAZING WAY OF LINKING THESE THINGS WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT.
IT IS TAKING YOUR INFORMATION STRAIGHT TO FACEBOOK AND ALL--
NO, IT'S NOT REALLY.
YOU CAN-- YOU CAN DO IT.
IT'S VERY PRIVATE.
>> Stephen: NOW, I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU ONE THING BEFORE WE
GO HERE.
IS HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSE CHILD IS ON STAGE IN LONDON IN
PREVIEWS.
YOU HAVE SEEN IT?
>> I HAVE NOT BECAUSE I'VE BEEN HERE.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU GOING TO GO SEE IT?
>> IT'S-- I FEEL LIKE-- I WANT TO SEE THE SHOW.
LIKE, I GENUINELY AM INTRIGUED AND HEARD IT'S FANTASTIC.
I JUST FEEL LIKE SITTING IN AN AUDIENCE WHAT WILL FOR THE MOST
PART THE NEAR FUTURE BE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC HARRY POTTER FANS
MIGHT BE NOT A RELAXING WAY TO SEE A SHOW.
( LAUGHTER ) I GUESS.
SO NOT FOR THE TIME BEING.
>> Stephen: OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
>> BUT -- >> ANY FEAR YOU WOULD STAND UP
AND GO, "THAT'S NOT HOW HARRY WOULD DO IT!"
>> NO, NOT AT ALL.
JAMES PARKER IS A WONDERFUL ACTOR AND I'M VERY, VERY HAPPY
SEEING HIM PLAYING ME.
AND MAYBE A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS CAN SHIFT TO HIM NOW.
HE CAN DO ALL THE HARRY PARTS.
>> Stephen: THAT'S VERY NICE.
YOU'RE A WONDERFUL ACTOR AND WE'RE ALL VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU
AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT ACROSS TOWN IN TRAFFIC.
DANIEL, LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
