Sona Quoted “The Goonies” To Conan After He Lost “The Tonight Show” | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

well I read this book and I thought it's. kind of a miracle you're alive cuz. there's so many parts of this book where. your drinking is out of control and it. feels like you have a death wish at. times same thing with your. mom um and and you you read this these. accounts which again are so beautifully. written and and then you intersperse. that by jumping around with you show up. on the set to shoot The Goonies and so. there's this crazy world that you're.

living in where you feel like oh he's a. ranch hand he's not even a ranch hand. he's someone who has to work his way up. to being a ranch hand that's how it. feels sometimes and then suddenly you. time travel you're on the set of The. Goonies and you feel like this is weird. I don't know what this is this make. believe world that that I'm in yeah this. seems kind of fun but but not not even. close to as surreal as my world yes yes. your world is much more surreal totally. than showing up and making the The.

Goonies with Steven Spielberg and. Richard Donner like yeah with uh and and. by the way I have to step outside this. conversation for one second and tell you. that son son messian Citizen Cane is The. Goonies and and and so and I witnessed. this firsthand because this is true for. an entire. generation I shoot this travel show and. I was not long ago in New Zealand and. I'm in New Zealand and and I see a kind.

of a familiar face way across the way in. this strange Hotel we're in and she. starts coming closer to me and she goes. Conan hi and I go hi I can't see quite. who it is and she gets closer and I. realize oh it's Martha Plimpton oh what. Martha plimpton's in New Zealand she's. there to shoot something she sits at our. table holds court is lovely fantastic. really funny my crew it's all women. three women uh and that that I travel. with two cameras and sound they are.

shaking shaking and I'm because she's in. the and and and the thing is I kept. thinking yeah Martha Plimpton she's. great but shaking you know you never. shook when you met me why are they. shaking is is you guys have a is there a. Tremor going around and at the end of. the night they went can we just please. please please please Martha can we just. please get a picture with you and then. after they get the picture they're. practically crying and hugging each. other that they got a and I said to them. what and they said the Goon.

yep right oh yeah Matt too it's not just. me it's true formative oh yeah yeah yeah. oh it's uh it's and you do whole movie. of my life you do whole monologues to me. about Troy's bucket yes of course it's. the most inspirational monologue ever. yes there been times cuz son's been with. me for a long time and there have been. times where I've been and we've been all. over the place and and I'm not kidding. there were times where I was on tour and. it was right after the Tonight Show. Fiasco and I'm down and out and I'm like. man I got to Salvage my career and and.

you you would say con it's their time up. there it's your time and I went what are. you talking about and she went not your. time it's our time it's our time and I'm. like Sona what is. this and everyone around her was like. she's right it's Troy's bucket I'm like. what the are you people talking. about I'm 87 years. old oh my god dude but honestly it's. like if you did it Freud quote if you. did some other quote you'd be like wow.

yeah but because it's The Goonies it has. this reference of like. cute no for a whole generation it is wow. no no no no dude for like three. generations I don't know how many how. old are you my age I Am 98 years old. yeah know so you are we're the same AG I. fought in World War II did you I am 61. you're 61 I'm old okay it in yeah 61 you. look so good thank you I've had a ton of. work done have you.

honestly I get no filler do and you know. what really yeah my lips no. I see those see those guys dude can you. imagine somebody like me getting filler. as he sits cross-legged on the chair by. the way look at this this is great we. all just stared at your lips Jos you. know what's amazing uh no one would ever. believe that I would get filler in my. lips because I have no. lips my mouth is a slit It's a gash in. my face you have great cheek you do have.

great cheekbones and you would look. amazing with bigger lips I. suggest you know what I should do I. should I don't think it's a bad thing I. know there can be reactions but even you. because you have no lips if it reacted. poorly it would still look good so even. if I got a bad swelling it would give me. something so mean Josh you could have. said something like no no you look fine. but you went no even because everybody. says this is is not a Perpetual red.

carpet I want you are not a. celebrity God damn it I thought this was. my time well that was there you just. brought it around this is not their time. this is our time it's our time down here. I remember voice control I remember. Steve Anton said what was it but car. what was Carrie's name Andy yeah. Andy like it's the worst voice control. of any actor in hell I did my next movie.

which was thrashing that when I was in. the premiere and I saw that movie to a. movie that I don't talk about. anymore but I did for years when I saw. and I my my name was Chrissy that I. yelled out and she walked out of my. trailer and I go Chrissy and I was like. oh my God you suck so. bad you're actually hurting. people acting is supposed to bring joy. and you're bringing.

I always go back to the one in Wall. Street yeah Charlie Sheen is on an. elevator with his father Oh Martin. Martin Sheen and Martin Sheen they're. having this big argument and Martin. Sheen's line is well at least I don't. something like I don't measure my worth. by the SI I don't measure a man's worth. by the size of his wallet is what he's. supposed to yell at him and um I adore. Martin Sheen uh he is he's one of my. all-time favorites and a lovely man but. his line reading was at least I don't.

measure a man's worth by the size of his. what it was a Pino moment it's to give. me all you got yeah and and that's what. it is that's what it is but anyway every. actor has those by the way have you. heard that story give me all you got and. he was like you know we had planned that. he was on cocaine yes and you go thank. God that wasn't just you oh I think that. was retroactively put in to make sense. of what and explain this explain for. people who yeah there's a scene in heat.

where he's interrogating a source but. the best part is he's clearly. improvising because when he says give me. H your got the the other guy the look on. his face is so real like he's looking to. Michael man going are we going to use. this it works he's like do when you get. to that point I've been to that place. I've been in that place and you do it. twice yeah give me all you got give me. all you got it's like please cut that's. what he's saying please cut the film. don't let this happen.

I'm an actor I can't stop and he's one. of my I think in the same one I think in. the same one he says she's got a great. ass that's what I mean he slaps the. table and he slaps the table and the. thing is the thing about Pacino who sat. in that chair uh not had a great ass and. had a great ass he. said yes um one of the greats man he is. I mean God but one of the great he can. get away with anything anything Al yeah.

except that that was wrong that was. wrong that was a perfect movie yeah and. he it up but or or Michael man. it up and I'm saying that from a. from a fellow actor I've spoken with him. not that I told him hey why'd you. up me but he's one of the great I mean. uh um dog afternoon to me is like one of. the greatest films of all time that I've. probably seen 30 times and it's just I. mean truly one of the greatest when I. heard him back I was on a plane and I. heard him back there yeah yeah what it.

was it was like Tom weight's version of. this and I couldn't I it's one of the. few people I couldn't come up to I was. so in awe me too and he came up to me. and he said I'm a big fan and I was like. wow yeah that's a moment I'll never. forget he's he's The Godfather yeah did. he say he was a fan of yours no not a. fan he went out of kind of did no no he. he went way out of his way to say not a. fan um no no he he was very sweet to me. and I've I've run into him a couple of. times and he has been enormously uh kind. kind and sweet to me but can we just.

revisit this really quick before you. move on and I I know I say this every. time I see you but I used to see you on. the street in New York you know this. Upper West Side upper west side but not. in the park the Upper West Side I would. see you on the street and you would. always avoid me and that's the truth you. would always avoid you'd always look at. me you'd have your dogs yeah I was. totally one dog one dog yeah oh I. imagined many dog I had Pap dogs I. wanted people to think I had two dogs so. I had a real dog and then I had a paper. mâché dog but I do I always remember.

recognizing you and then you would look. up and then basically it was your. version of stay away from me yeah yeah. yeah I was very anti- goon back then no. you didn't know I was from The Goonies. you just thought I was some weird street. urchin that needed cocaine and you. looked like a dealer you were swinging a. hatchet I will say that he looked like a. dealer yeah no I'm just saying that's. probably what I thought then yeah hey. man you holding you holding aren't you. Conan O'Brien man no okay as. everyone will tell you I'm notoriously.

unfriendly when you meet me on the. street notoriously.
