All language subtitles for The A-Team (1983) - S04E12 - Uncle Buckle-Up (1080p x265 EDGE2020).eng

Who knows better
about Mr. Tree...

than our bestest buddy,
Ruff the Bear?

[growling]

I ain't taking no orders
from no chipmunk.

Let's do it.
I want to waste that chipmunk
once and for all.

I send you out
to whack a chipmunk...

and you come back
with a mouthful of excuses.

You can't hurt me.
You can't hurt my people.

[growling]

They're snatching
Uncle Buckle-Up!

Why would somebody
resort to kidnapping
over a few stuffed animals?

Their heads are not supposed
to come off until we want them
to come off.

Then we'll take care
of all of them.

All of them,
including....

Chipmunks are a dime a dozen.

An actor can tell
when his career's coming
to an end.

(male narrator)
In 1972,
a crack commando unit...

was sent to prison
by a military court...

for a crime
they didn't commit.

These men promptly escaped...

from a maximum-security
stockade...

to the Los Angeles
underground.

Today, still wanted
by the government...

they survive
as soldiers of fortune.

If you have a problem,
if no one else can help...

and if you can find them...

maybe you can hire
the A-Team.

[gun firing]

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

And so,
chiperoos, be very,
extra, chipmunk careful...

with Safety Enemy
Number 1...

especially around...

Mr. Tree.

And who knows better
about Mr. Tree...

than our bestest buddy...

Ruff the Bear?

Shall we visit him?

[Jorge snoring]

Hello, Ruff!

[Jorge snoring]

Well, it looks
like Ruff the Bear
is hibernating.

You know what that means?

That means
we're getting close
to Christmas.

So...

pay extra-special
chipmunk attention
to these words...

from our bestest friends
at World of Toys.

(man)
And we're in commercial.

It looks like Ruff the Bear
has been visiting
his bestest buddy...

Mr. Whiskey.

I know we're family,
Jorge...

and Aunt Josie asked me
to give you a job
while you're out on parole...

but frankly,
you're starting to try
my patience.

Listen, Syd,
I can't help it if it was
Mueller's coming-out party.

I had to share
in his joy, you know?

You know,
I have news for you, pally.

You're not
supposed to party
with your former cellmates.

This show is called
Uncle Buckle-Up's
Safety Program...

not
The Known Associates Show.

I am up to here
with the bear, Syd.

Yeah, well, we stand
for something fine,
something beautiful.

Now get into the car.

Syd, I just need
a ride to my car.
I don't need a sermon.

Get into the car.

We want a clean kill here.
Hit-and-run...

no questions asked.
Got it.

[sighing]

Come on, man,
they close the lot at 8:00.

Buckle up.

Could you maybe
cut me a break here, Syd?

I got a hangover
that'd kill a bull.

Seat belt.
Jerk!

[grumbling]

What are you, nuts?

You know, after the show,
a lot of kids come out here...

and I have an image
to protect.

I wouldn't want the chiperoos
knowing that their bestest
buddy, Ruff the Bear...

is a candidate
for a halfway cave.

All right, that's it.
That's it.
I have had it with you.

I have had it with you!

Come on, Syd, I need my car.
I'm taking Mueller
to the strip show.

That's it. That's it.

[tires screeching]

[tires screeching]

Get an ambulance!
Get an ambulance!

[growling]
(Face)
Ruff the Bear?

(Hannibal)
This is gonna be it, Face.

This is gonna be the part
that takes off.

But, Hannibal, a bear?

And on TV?
TV's not for you. You know,
you're a powerhouse.

You need 28 feet of canvas
to explode out of.

You'll get lost
in a little screen.
Yeah, no, I've been thinking
about that, Face.

But, you know,
television is
an intimate medium...

and I'm an intimate
kind of a guy.

Like Rambo's
an intimate kind of guy.

What you have to do is...

you have to get
to the bear...

in his undisturbed
state of mind.

I see.

[growling]

[children chattering]

What do you think?
I think you've lost your mind.

And what's so important
about this job...

that you schlep all of us
down to the zoo?

You seem awfully uptight
about this.

I mean, you know,
you've lost other jobs
to other actors.

They're just not writing
my kind of picture anymore.

Yeah, romance and comedy,
you know. Who needs it?

Yeah, but you know...

that shark at Universal,
he worked for years.

Yeah, but, Hannibal,
this is a kids' show.

This bear sings and dances.
You know,
you could look foolish.

Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin
did Paint Your Wagon...

and they danced and they sang.
Now, did they look foolish?

Indescribably so.

But they went on
to bigger things.

Not singing,
and definitely not dancing.

Well, it was a gap
in their technique.

A gap
I do not intend to have.

And what do you know
about the technique involved
in doing a children's show?

Well, that's why
I called Murdock.

As soon as he gets here,
we head to the studio.
Now, Face...

watch.

[Hannibal growling]

[growling]

This is not working out
for me, Preston.

For 15 years, we had a deal
with Tamco Toys,
without a snag.

Perfect toys every time.

And we got letters.
You wanna see some letters?

I'll show you some letters.
I don't wanna see
no letters, Sydney.

[stammering]
Well, and then...

you switched us over
to this....
Kam Jeoung Ree.

Whatever.

And these bozos
send us nothing but junk.

Sydney, I told you before.
It is cheaper
making the dolls in Asia.

I don't know about that.

I've got some figures
that say it's a lot cheaper
to make them over here--

Honey, I want you
to stay out of this.

This is junk!

Look at this!
The heads come off!

The heads come off,
for crying out loud.

Now we really get letters.

Last week, some kid
swallowed one of my eyes.

Me, Uncle Buckle-Up,
an international symbol
of child safety...

and kids are
swallowing my eyes
like they're jelly beans.

Syd, watch
your blood pressure.

I'm going
to the Safety Commission
with this.

I wouldn't do that, Syd.

Watch me.

Hey, honey?
You better talk some sense
into him.

If you're looking for an ally,
you're in the wrong shop.

[door slamming]

*[children's music playing]

Four, five,
six, seven.

A one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven.

(instructor)
And a one, two, three,
four, five....

[sighing]

This is it! This is it.

This is
the Uncle Buckle-Upset.

This is the cave
where Ruff the Bear lives.

I used to watch this show
all the time
when I was a kid.

(woman)
John Smith?
Yes.

John Smith.
Yes, ma'am.

Are you John Smith?
Yes.

You're late, John...

but don't worry about it.

You're gonna have to
do better in the future,
though, huh?

I'm Jackie, and
I'm the associate producer.

Hannibal! Hannibal,
if you want this part,
if you want this part...

I can get it for you.
For the usual 10%.

But you're gonna
have to really want it.

You're gonna have to sing
Blueberries in my Cave...

you're gonna have to
do the sunrise dance--

Blueberries in my Cave?
It's a song
that encourages kids...

to eat a nutritious
breakfast. It's like this.

* There's a signal
in my tummy *

* It wants something
sweet and yummy *

* But I know that
it's not good for me *

* So I can put blueberries
in my cave *

* Breads and cereals,
they're okay *

Like that.

You know,
Murdock's right.
Yeah?

These roly-polies can play it.
I can act it.

Besides,
kids' shows run forever.

I ain't taking no orders
from no chipmunk.

I'm not gonna
be a chipmunk, B.A.
I'm gonna be a bear.

(Murdock)
Oh, yeah?

Let me see
your résumé.
I only got two.

Give me one.

[people chattering]

Well, now, you can't
cross out The Killgator,
that's one of my favorites.

Not a good role model
for kids. Nope.

Murdock, you can't take out
The Aquamaniac.

I'm proud
of The Aquamaniac.

I'm sorry, Murdock.

I've got to stand
on my credits.

Ruff the Bear....

Ruff the Bear...

would never, never smoke.

I see here that you were
the Killgator, John,
and the Aquamaniac.

(Hannibal)
Yes, that's right.

(Kelly)
Those are very frightening
characters, aren't they, John?

Well, I tried to play them
with an air of vulnerability.

(Kelly)
I'm sure you did.
But this is a children's show.

We're a little worried that
since you've played so many
frightening characters...

you're not gonna be able
to adjust to the roly-poliness
of Ruff the Bear.

I'm sure, if I get a chance,
I could play this role
with dimension.

Well, that's why you're here,
to get just that chance.

Can you roar for us, John?

I thought I was reading
for Ruff the Bear.

So roar like a bear, John-O.

But bears don't roar.
I beg your pardon?

Bears don't roar, they growl.

Well, ours roars.

Never underestimate children.

They know a lot more
than adults think.

They're very aware,
and if you talk down to them--

Can I just hear a roar?

What kind of a roar?
Just roar
with your best judgment.

[roaring]

[roaring softly]

What was that?
That wasn't much of a roar.

It sounded more
like the Cowardly Lion
from The Wizard of Oz.

That's it, Bert Lahr.
It's my favorite roar.

Okay, next.

You'll be hearing
from us, John.

Well, if I could just read
for the part.

You'll be hearing
from us, John.
I've done a lot of research.

[stammering]
Well, I've really
been thinking "bear."

Okay, okay, okay.

Show us how you drink water
with your paw.

Well, bears don't drink
with their paws.

Next.

[growls softly]

He comes out the stage door
right over there.

This time we'll use
the heavy artillery.

(Kelly)
Syd, what's wrong?

I'll be all right, kid.

Maybe we should cancel
your appearance tonight, huh?
No, I've gotta be there.

All right.
Well, if you change your mind,
let me know.

One, two,
three, four.

And a one, two,
three, four....

*[music playing]

Hannibal, how'd it go?

Well, I....

This is it, guys.

An actor can tell
when his career's coming
to an end.

You can only play
the Aquamaniac
a certain number of times...

before you've explored
every aspect
of his character.

That...

was my chance
at television immortality.

Yeah, but, Hannibal,
it was just a bear.

They weren't looking
for the definitive Hamlet.

They just wanted a guy
who wouldn't sweat too much
in a fur coat.

[chuckling]
Right?

You want this part?

You want this part?

You got this part.

[tires screeching]

[exclaiming]

Stay away
from the toy convention.

[groaning]

Now listen,
you two-bit, washed-up,
no-talent bum...

a dead actor gets
no residuals.
You hear what I'm saying?

[groaning]

Hold it right there, pal.

They're snatching
Uncle Buckle-Up!

[tires screeching]

[horn honking]

[groaning]

Come on.
Sydney, are you all right?

[Sydney grunting]

Whoever you are,
I owe you one.

Sydney, I'm H.M. Murdock...

and this is my client...

John "Hannibal" Smith.

You're the Aquagator.

You want the job,
you got it.

I mean, Jorge may have rhythm,
but you are Ruff the Bear.

[bird cawing]

[people chattering]

[growling]

I've always been interested
in child safety.

Then about three months ago,
Herman Price...

the man who's been
handling my merchandising
for the past 25 years...

retired.

You been a chipmunk
for 25 years?
Longer.

He's had his own show
since 1956.

'Cause I know, when
I was a kid, I always wanted
to be a Helpful Hamster.

Well, all I can say is,
after the way you jumped
on those guys...

you're the most helpful
hamster in the world.
Any time, Syd.

So you think
the trouble's coming
from inside your own company?

Maybe.
After Herman left...

the syndication people
wanted to bring somebody in
from outside the company.

A real fire-eater.

That's when
they brought in Preston.

And he brought
his own people with him.

And then the creep goes ahead
and breaks the contract
with Tamco Toys...

and jobs the dolls
to some company in Asia
nobody ever heard about.

And they start
sending us junk.

But the price goes up.

And the quality goes down.

Suddenly, I find myself
selling the very thing...

I've been fighting
my whole life against.

Anyway, this Preston fellow
must be tied into it somehow.

All this
is over some dolls?

Yeah, B.A.'s right.

Why would somebody
resort to kidnapping
over a few stuffed animals?

They almost killed
my nephew.
Your nephew?

Your predecessor, Ruff.

You know, at first
I thought it was an accident.

Now I see it was a warning.

I'm afraid somebody's
gonna get killed.

What can you do
with people like this?

You find their toy box...

and then you pull
all the wheels
off their little trucks.

Oh, yeah.

I send you out
to whack a chipmunk...

and you come back
with a mouthful of excuses.

Look, Nick,
the guy had guards.

Do you know
what you made happen to me?

I was sitting at a luncheon
at a businessman's
association...

getting a plaque
for my....

"For my many contributions
to the welfare
of the children of Encino."

And this maitre d'
comes up to me
and taps me on my shoulder...

and says there's a gentleman
here to see me.

I look up
and I see this clown...

in a yellow and green
plaid sports jacket...

and I say
to the maitre d',
"That's impossible, sir.

"I have no business here
with this man."

And the maitre d' says...

real loud...

like he's rooting
for the Dodgers...

"He claims to, sir.
Says he's a bail bondsman,
sir."

Nicky, I can't operate
if my people are in jail.

It's like I'm in
a monster movie.

Nick, if I tried to make bail,
I would've blown my cover.

I turn into a punk.

And all these manicureds
are staring at me.

And suddenly I'm wearing
a double-breasted
pinstripe suit...

and I'm a punk holding onto
a cheap piece of wood
with some tin nailed to it.

[chuckling]

You think that's funny?
I'll take care of it, Nick.

That's what
you said yesterday.

We've got millions of dollars
riding on this thing.

Hey, Nick, I know exactly
what we got on this thing.

Then when the hell
are you gonna get a hold
of that punk again, huh?

When are you gonna get
a hold of him?

That crumb's
probably hiding somewhere
in some hole somewhere.

No, Nick, not our Syd.
No, he called that PR broad,
that Kelly.

He said he's gonna
make that appearance
at the toy convention.

Oh, that's just great.

Our shill's gonna
be at a toy convention,
in the middle of a floor...

standing in front
of our booth...

yapping at the top
of his lungs
to the ever-loving mommies...

how much garbage
our toys are.

That'll never happen, Nick.

You seem pretty sure
about that.
I am.

Yeah, well,
I hope so...

'cause your life
depends upon it.

Get out of here.

[door opening]

[door closing]

[sighing]
Well, everything seems
to be quiet here.

Man, I can't believe
all this.

(Murdock)
I'm telling you,
kids' stuff is big business.

If Hannibal takes this job...

you looking at $25,000
just for a personal
appearance.

(Face)
$25,000?

(Murdock)
That's right. Just
for opening a supermarket.

(Face)
You know, Hannibal might
look pretty good...

in that Ruff the Bear costume,
don't you think?

(Hannibal)
Listen, Syd,
it's better if I do it.

We don't know who's out there,
or what they're gonna do.

You look at him. He hasn't
even played the bear yet
and now he wants my part.

Syd, I don't like this.
I think that we should
call the police.

And what do we tell them?
There's been a kidnapping
and attempted murder.

Oh, they're a lot of help.
They're a lot of help.

You know, they arrested
the kidnappers...

in an hour
they let them out on bail.

Would you talk
to this man, please?

(Hannibal)
You'll be a target
out there, Syd.

It's better if I do it.

I've been a target
all my life. It's my hobby.

Your friends can
take care of us.

Besides, if you go out there,
the kids will know
the difference.

You know, it's not
just that I'm a clown.

There's only one me.

Syd, you've got a phone call.

Now?
(Davis)
He said it was important.

[scoffing]

What do you do
with a man like that?
Keep him off the stage.

[scoffing]
How?

For a man
who makes his living
playing a chipmunk...

he's about as pigheaded
as they come.

It's all quiet
out there, Hannibal.

And we're all set
in the theater.
Good.

We'll go with the plan.

You guys answer me
one question.

Who are you?

Oh, well, I'd be glad
to explain it to you.

So explain.

Oh, no, I didn't mean here.

What I had in mind
was someplace quiet.

A quiet filled
with the gentle strains
of gypsy violins.

A quiet where the soft bubble
of champagne...

mixes mystically
with the sizzle of moussaka.

Yes, a place where the sound
of two hearts beating
as one...

drowns out the murmur
of lovers.

[laughing]
Something tells me
we'd never get to the answer.

(Hannibal)
What was it?

They just told me
if I went on, they'd kill me.

(Davis)
And now,
without further ado...

it's my great pleasure
to introduce a friend
to us all...

Uncle Buckle-Up
and his woodland chums.

(Sydney)
Hello, chiperoos....

Let's do it.
I'm gonna waste that chipmunk
once and for all.

[Sydney continues chattering]

(Sydney on tape)
First thing,
we are going to meet...

all of our little friends,
the ones we have learned
to love and live with....

[tires screeching]

[guns firing]

It's those guys again!
Let's get out of here!

[guns firing]

[tires screeching]

Let's chat.

You blew it again?

And this time
you lost a man?

Nicky, they got this guy
guarded like he was
a president or something.

Nicky, it's spooky.

All of a sudden
they got machine guns,
they're blowing us apart.

Nick, I was lucky to get out
of there with my life.

That remains to be seen.

All right, Nick, I can still
handle this. I got an idea.
You got an idea, huh?

[groaning]
You can't handle a chipmunk...

and you tell me
you got an idea?

I got an idea, too.

Oh, good, Nick.
Yeah.

[exclaiming]
I'm gonna throw you right
through this window, you see?

And before you hit
this pavement, you could
tell me what your idea is.

Nick, you know
we can't get to this guy
directly, right?

You already proved that.

I'm looking for some
side door, you know?

So, like, we can get something
on this guy, right?

Guess what I found, Nick?
A daughter.

Wait till
you see this, Nick.

Look here, Nick.
This is a tax form.

Nick, do you want
my glasses?

It says this guy
has a daughter.

Okay? So I say,
get the girl, we got the man.

Maybe.

It'll work, Nick.
You better not
mess this one up.

It's done, Nick.
It's done.

And what about this guy
you left behind?

Cobb? He's a good soldier,
Nick. He knows just when
to keep his mouth shut.

His name is Gretsch.
G-R-E-T-S-C-H.

[lions roaring]

[Cobb exclaiming]

(Cobb)
Help me. Come on, please.

Pull me up, please.

Oh, come on, please, please.

Come on, please,
please, please.

It'll be interesting
to see who gets tired first...

B.A. or the lion.

[lion roaring]
That's all I know.
I promise.

Try not to sweat too much.

Lions tend to look on it
as au jus.

I swear
I'm telling you the truth.

Actually, you're pretty lucky.
These are African lions.

The Asiatics are the jumpers.

Please.

They're not man-eaters.
Only when they're hungry.

[roaring]

They do look
kind of underfed, don't they?

Where would we find
Mr. Gretsch?

Fun 4 All Amusements.
2750 Marshall Boulevard,
Santa Monica.

(Cobb)
He's there now. Go see him.
He's the one you want.

[Cobb pleading]
Kelly, take Syd back
to the studio...

and set up a press conference
for tonight.

We'll go look up
Mr. Gretsch.
I'm going with you.

You'd be safer
at the studio.

Look, this man
has fouled my nest.

I wanna look in his eye
when I tell him so.

Be reasonable, Syd.
Face, you take her.

It'll be my pleasure.

And check Preston's office.
See what you can dig up.

All right.
If he comes in, bag him
and call us in the van.

[Cobb groaning]

Syd, shall we?

(Cobb)
Wait, where are you going?
I told you, come back here.

(Hannibal)
We're here to see Mr. Gretsch.

Wouldn't he make
a great doll?

(Gretsch)
I don't like it.

Their heads are not supposed
to come off until we want them
to come off.

Mr. Preston said
this is the only way
he could do it.

The first shipment
is at the warehouse now.
We'll see how it worked.

If you mess this up,
we'll see how easy
your head comes off.

(Hannibal)
Hi, guys.

[Dominic groaning]

Nice toys
they've got around here.

Would you look at this?

Well, it looks like
it's made to come off.

But why?
(Hannibal)
I don't know.

But I'll bet he's got
a warehouse full of them.
Maybe we should take a peek.

You ain't too smart,
mister.
Maybe not.

But I'm a real expert
at telling other people
what to do.

[gun clicking]
Now, here are your orders.

You're going to take us
to the warehouse...

and then you're gonna
get out of the
Uncle Buckle-Up business.

Now let's go.

(Face)
How many Buckle-Up dolls
did you sell last year?

(Kelly)
About 100,000.

Hey, that's interesting.
According to this audit...

this year Preston's imported
nearly 200,000 dolls.

Have the ratings of the show
been going up?

No. As a matter of fact,
the show's been slipping
this last season.

Well, why would he import
twice as many dolls
as he could possibly sell?

I don't know.

Well, we'll just have to
ask Preston, won't we?

Hey, you better go back
to the office and set up
the press conference.

Okay. A couple of calls
should do that.

Great.
And meet me down on the stage.
We'll wait for Preston there.

Yeah.

[clearing throat]

We're just about set.
I just have to call them back
in five minutes to confirm.

Terrific. We can wrap
this whole thing up
before tomorrow's show.

You know, I really do
appreciate everything
that you're doing for Sydney.

Well, what would the world be
without Uncle Buckle-Up?

You mean
you're a fan, too?

Me? The biggest.
I've been watching
the show for years.

Yeah, all the way back
to when Rob Parker
played Ruff.

What happened
to the Truthful Turtle here?

Who?
The Truthful Turtle.

Truthful?
He sits right here
in front of the log.

People keep stepping
on him.

I don't know. It....

Just....
You know...

the Truthful Turtle
can always tell when
a chiperoo is exaggerating.

You're right. I don't really
watch the show.

I'd be a little concerned
about you if you did.

Really?
Mmm-hmm.

You know, you don't have to
play the Good Manners Mole...

to make friends with me.

[chuckling]

I had better go
call the agency back.

[exhaling]

[Kelly exclaiming]
Okay, hot rod,
the party's over.

[groaning]

[grunting]

[groaning]

[grunting]

[groaning]

(Preston)
Okay, pal, we're gonna go
talk to Uncle Buckle-Up.

[groans]

Well, Sydney
is no longer your shill,
so you can forget it.

Is that right?
Yeah.

Well, let's see
what he's got to say...

when we got his daughter
hanging out the window.

Uncle Buckle-Up's daughter?

(Hannibal)
Hold it.

That's it. That's the junk.

Yeah, this is, like,
a new model. I don't have
one of these yet.

Colonel, I think
you'd better take a look
at this stuff.

Heroin.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

(Preston)
We've got the girl, Nick.

Hi, guys.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Dad?

(Gretsch)
Give us your guns unless
you want the girl hurt.

(Preston)
All right, over there.

After you.

No, not you.

We got a little business.

You keep them here
while I dicker
with the chipmunk.

Right, Nick.

(B.A.)
You were messing around with
Uncle Buckle-Up's daughter?

All right, let's think
about getting out of here.
Yeah.

Now, go through everything
until you find something
we can use.

From now on, you're gonna
play ball in my court.

And the first thing
you're gonna do...

is you're gonna cancel
that press conference
of yours.

Forget it.
I'm not fooling around
with you, Sydney.

I've got your daughter
and I've got your friends...

and if you don't play ball
with me, I'm gonna
feed them to the dogs.

Now, the first think
I want you to do is
to endorse my dolls from Asia.

[chuckling]

What's so funny, Sydney?

You can't hurt me.
You can't hurt my people.

Without me, you got nothing.

Don't be stupid, old man.

There's a world
full of animals out there.

I'll get myself
a rabbit or something.

You ain't indispensable.

You got them locked up?

It's all
taken care of, Nick.

Good.

I want this mess
cleaned up today.

Then I'm gonna
take this chipmunk here
down to the studio...

where he's gonna make
the most heartwarming
endorsement...

the American public
has ever heard.

And then I want you to go
to the factory and I want you
to take care of business.

Consider it done, Nick.

I'll be dropping by
with the old man right after
he makes the commercial.

Then we'll take care
of all of them.

All of them,
including....

Chipmunks are a dime a dozen.

We'll get ourselves a new
shill after the accident.
Accident?

They're all gonna be
at the factory, right?
Yeah.

We got
fire insurance, right?
Right.

Then make me a tragedy.

How does it look, B.A.?

It's solid as a rock.

(Murdock)
Colonel?

Look at this.

And this.

[toy plane buzzing]

Hey, Hannibal,
you smell that?

Gasoline.

Stand by, everybody.

Here we go.

Where did they
get the dynamite?

[guns firing]

[coughing]

Is that them?
Yeah.

Then it's over?
Not quite.

And that's why I think
these Uncle Buckle-Up dolls...

are the best
Uncle Buckle-Up dolls yet.

Hi, slime.

Jorge?

Actually, I kind of wanted
to do that to him myself.

I understand that, Colonel...

'cause that's what
a Good Manners Mole
would have done.

*[children's music playing]

Hannibal, that was wonderful.
You, too, Syd.

[panting]
Gee, thanks, Murdock.

Oh, come on, guys.
I'm dancing my heart out,
out there.

(Jorge)
Hey, give me my bear costume.
What are you guys doing here?

Excuse me.

[clearing throat]

[groaning]

Ruff the Bear
doesn't drink.

What are you, nuts?
Sydney!

You wanna tell me
what's going on?

[sighing]

It's not that
I don't appreciate
what you've done...

but in this business,
it's not courage that counts.

It's nepotism
that's important.

Thank you, Sydney.
That's right.

If you'll excuse me...

I must rehearse.

[clearing throat]
Pardon me.

[Jorge thudding]

[glass breaking]

You're going to AA,
Jorge.

Not a bad rhyme, huh?

(man)
Ten seconds to air.

Listen, so long
as you're here...

what do you say
to one performance?

Are you kidding?

This is it, guys.

This is like 42nd Street.

I'm going out there
like a kid...

and I'm coming back a star!
