>> KEVIN: Konnichiwa! Kebin desu -- SUBTITLE: Hi, I'm Kevin.
>> DIRECTOR (V.O.): Uh, Kevin. >> KEVIN Yes.
>> DIRECTOR: Uh, what's with the Japanese?
>> KEVIN: Oh, was I speaking Japanese? I didn't notice.
>> DIRECTOR: Yeah. And you didn't notice you were wearing that Japanese bathrobe thing? >> KEVIN: Oh. So I am.
>> DIRECTOR: Someone get Kevin a blazer. [PAUSE] >> KEVIN: It's called a chanchanko, by the way.
It keeps you nice and warm in the early morning when you have to take the garbage out in Japan.
To the neighborhood garbage area. [PAUSE] O.K., excuse me a moment.
Thank you.
OK, so, let's try this again.
Hi, my name is Kevin. CAPTION: Kevin
And this is "Language and Humor." CAPTION: LangWedge and Humor
Oh, for goodness sake!
"Language."
L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E. CAPTION: Language and Humor
Thank you, Captions.
Anyway, this is "Language and Humor," and we'll be doing various things with language and humor.
I’ve studied language and some foreign languages.
I also taught English in Japan for a while. CAPTION: Language, Languages, Japan
We don't need THAT captioned. Come on, this is my first show. Don’t ruin it.
More than I am.
Where was I?
Oh, actually, since we're talking about Japan,
could you put up "chanchanko"...
...so people can see how to write it?
[PAUSE] Um, Captions? CAPTION: [Oh, so now you need me?!]
Just everything in proper proportion. O.K.?
Of course I NEED you, Captions. CAPTION: [I just wanted to hear you say it.]
CAPTION: ちゃんちゃんこ Chanchanko Thank you, Captions.
Where was I? Um, we talked about language. So: humor.
I also like to joke around. And be offbeat. CAPTION: [Especially when dancing. Seriously, it's not pretty.]
And... What...? Oh.
[SLIGHT LAUGH] That’s why I keep you around, Captions.
O.K. NOW let’s start the first show.
The first thing I want to do --
>> DIRECTOR: Sorry, Kevin. We're out of time.
>> KEVIN: What? No. We can just cut all that problem stuff.
>> DIRECTOR: Sorry. >> KEVIN: No, please don’t roll the end credits. [BLACKOUT] Please?
>> KEVIN: Onegai shimasu? SUBTITLE: Please?
