There's some really good naan bread.

You like naan bread?

You won't see the property

I bought baby.

I think I'm going to build ice cream store.

I love me some delicious ice cream.

Maybe some funnel cakes as well.

What do you think, baby?

Oh, I owe me some ice cream and funnel cakes. I really want your ice cream.

Let's leave and head back to your place.

You don't have to tell me twice, baby.

Don't do this.

I have a family here.

It's good chicken curry, though, don't you think so?

If you're going to need what is it that you really need, you're going to need

me, all right? You're going to need me.

The right amount of butter and turmeric could make a killing.

There's another Indian place around here, close by.

Maybe we'll try it tonight.

So what are your plans for this decade?

We don't have to do this, okay? We don't have to do this.

Lower the gun, and we'll just settle this, alright?

The Indians sure make good wine.

Look, no need to do this.

This oil's perfect, not dry at all.

That's your life.

There are two or three things that you want to say to yourself.

And regrets, too, right? You know?

I mean, everyone wants to have regrets, you know?

But they want something.

So for every regret, there's something else that you want, right?

for one regret let's say like okay i never want i never went to paris i never

want to go to the movies that's like one regret right so

we hear they have good plans for you here does it make you excited there's

to be something i can get you to talk do you like food do you like music do you

like art

you did in the past for

something new, right? You know?

I have about eight more films before the year ends and it's going to be great

having you run everything here.

Not yet.

Come closer, Warren.

Jones, why are you still looking out the window?

going to retire to my office.

I remember.

I remember.

Yes.

I'm sure I remember.

I'm positive I do remember.

Yes.

How did you like my poetry?

I worked hard on it.

And you are my best fan, my biggest fan.

That is why you are the only ones that we have on the contract.

It's been a good contract, hasn't it, my dear?

It's brought a lot of nice things for you over the years, hasn't it?

It sure has, and we value your generosity.

But the times are changing.

We heard something.

Yeah, you know, a little birdie.

And what did this little birdie say?

We know that the various people are setting us up for a fall.

We're only just here to protect you.

Because if you go, you have nothing.

I'm the star here.

Do you understand that?

I'm the star.

So we think that you might throw some more beans our way and pretend that

birdie never ever spoke to us.

What exactly do you mean by beans?

You know, you give somebody three beans, and it can double, it can triple, it

can quadruple.

Depends how productive you can be.

I promise I won't let you down.

Have I ever?

You know, I've always been here for the art and the glamour and the love.

So, what is it then?

You know, we are in very crazy times now.

With ghosts and strange operations.

Yes, I know that.

But I'm here.

And I've always been here.

And I'll be here for you forever.

As God is my witness.

We'll give you some time.

You just send us an answer with a telex, you know, and just how many beans.

Let's go.

I don't know if I ever knew anything.

It's like this, well, spiraling staircase.

And then...

I have about eight more films before the year ends, and it's going to be great

having you run everything here.

You seem like you're very artistic.

Are you?

What's your inspiration?

Who influences you?

Have you ever been in love?

Are you a hopeless romantic?

What is it that you're looking for?

There's got to be something I can get you to talk.

Do you like food? Do you like music?

Do you like art?

What do you like?

Well, I love to cook.

I'm going to travel the world and eat everything in every country and enjoy

the amazing dishes.

What about dreaming?

Do you like to dream?

Wouldn't it be amazing to live your life in a dream?

A perpetual dream that never, ever ends?

There's not enough of us dreamers out there.

I wish there were, because things are getting really ugly.

There's no more passion.

Slowly turn your head back down, Warren.

You have another one.

You could have the first one.

The first one is always good as the eighth one, by the way.

I feel honored. Something from out of this country.

May I?

Oh, yeah.

Definitely. Enjoy the sugar.

Move shape.

I will. Thank you.

The sugar that's here, which is synthetic, goes to other processes.

I mean, it'll kill you in the end, right? It'll kill you.

I can tell.

Well, let's talk about this man.

Yes, yes. As you see, I'm undercover.

I've been following him today and, well, most of this past month.

And you know I don't like you, as you know.

What's your plan for this man?

Help save the world.

What world is it to save?

Figure that out and do you...

Maybe we can benefit off of each other. I'm not one to be confrontational.

If I need to be.

It was good having a drink on winter's day.

But it's summer and it's night.

That's not the point. That doesn't matter. That's irrelevant.

But you know the planet? There's maybe nine or ten.

There's more planets.

More than Pluto?

More than Pluto is the last one they discovered. But that has nothing to do

the... Okay.

What's important is... It's either... It's either... It's either... It's

either... France?

Or... Specialized sugar?

See?

What's important is the basil, the garlic.

They say that Marco Polo brought the noodles from China, but I don't really

believe that.

Whenever you knew that Marco Polo was a man, did you ever meet Marco Polo?

They had that Silk Road path to China supposedly he brought the noodles back

from there to Italy, but I don't really believe it

Everything

is a cycle of life as long as you have the formula I can help you finish the

puzzle Looks like there's not much left

Surely I'll remember.

live for a million years.

Because losing is everything.

To lose makes you powerful.

Like this.

9 out of 10.

And that makes you better.

You learn from the mistakes.

You learn from losing.

All your life.

Night by success.

Break bulbs up into clothes.

Set bulb firmly in place. Point it and up.

Replace the soil covering the plants.

Water well after planting.

Planting time zone.

April to May, March to May, February to March.

Good.

I know how much it means to him that you've been a part of the team, and

I wasn't sure about you.

In fact, no one was sure about you.

But you proved yourself, and that's why I want to give you a chance.

I think we need you. Things weren't what they were six months ago.

And there's a cosmic force that we need in our lives.

The game changer, as you say.

All your life you worked for something.

We all learn from our failures.

And wisdom is good too, and I think you have wisdom.

Don't you?

And so, at this moment...

What is the wisdom that you have for me and us?

That's what I wanted to say.

And what else do you have to say?

But I wanted to thank you.

I thank you what you've done for us.

Everybody says that you say what you are.

I mean, you're this sort of strongman, if you know what I mean.

And I don't know why you came into our lives, but you did.

You like records?

You know, they don't make 15 RPMs anymore.

The 15 RPMs were... Okay, well, today we live in the

world of 33 RPMs and 45, which are the singles, right? And 78s, which are the

stuff from the 40s and 30s, right?

But during that time, they had the 16 RPMs, and the 16 RPMs could have three

times the playing length of regular records.

So let's say, for example, a 33 RPM has 15 minutes of recording time, and a 45

has maybe three minutes, and a 78 has, you know, well, the 78 plays so fast,

you can have five minutes on an 8 -inch 78.

At that speed, this thing gets you about 30, 35, 40 minutes per side.

And so that's why if you ever listen to the Bible, well, if you had a 16 RPM,

then you could hear the Bible on maybe six sides, the entire Bible.

And you'd hear it all at 16.

And maybe the world needs to move slower because 78 was so fast.

And then we brought in the 45s and the 33s.

And maybe the 16 was the answer. But I just bought a

vinyl player the other day.

There's no 16 speed. There's 33, 45, and 78.

That's it.

There's no 16.

And I checked about this.

the Brazilian companies, the record companies in the 60s and 70s, they

these 16 RPMs and you could hear like 50 songs on one side. 50 songs. You could

hear like one hour, more than one hour.

Now there's this label called Trimicon that was trying to do it.

This German guy, Alfred Rabi, and he actually was French.

And he was trying to print...

Wagner's The Ring onto like three sides, like one hour or 75 minutes onto each

side.

But the problem is that still ran at 33 frames, 33 RPM.

You know, his technique was eliminating the groove between the grooves.

So in other words, instead of getting 20 minutes per side, you got 40.

But 16 RPM, that's the thing. You would literally get...

Four times, three times the playing time.

That's very good sarsaparilla.

You remember the 50s?

You know, the candy -colored clown, you know, they call him the Sandman.

Soda Jerks and ice cream parlors, it was a good time.

You know, you get a New York steak for a dollar.

What does a dollar buy you now? It doesn't even buy you 10 cents.

What does a $20 bill buy you? It doesn't even buy you 50 cents.

I used to keep $2 bills in my pocket because they were such good luck.

You know what a $2 bill is, right?

They print them occasionally.

If you see two or three, then give one to me.

It's not ever about the final piece.

It's about everything that has a good beginning and ending.

Sometimes a bad life can have a good ending.

I'm a lawyer. I've done this sort of thing in the past.

Step in again.

That's what this is all about. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Okay, go ahead.

Be frozen.

Enter. Huh.

No. You screwed up!

It was perfect. He was the perfect ingenue for this. I was going to train

everything. And you doubled it. You perverted him.

I perverted him?

No, because of your business stance. It was driving us off a cliff.

I had to get in their business.

Where do you think you came from? You came from the street.

You came from the street of San Jose.

Everybody needs a home eventually.

Do you want to roll in the movie?

There's a box there. No, you know what? What? I don't want to be in this movie

anymore. No, you're gonna be in it. It's gonna be the best role ever. Let's just

say it's a death scene.

I'm a lawyer. I've done this sort of thing in the past.

Okay, when the sun and the moon overlap the other planets, that's when we should

make our move.

Yes. I need the sun and the star to align so I can make love to the masses.

That's a tall order.

I hope that's going to make an astronomical difference.

Timing is everything.

I want to bring peace to this world.

It's my calling, my foundation, my goal.

I mean, it's what I'm made for.

This is what I'm meant to be here for.

This is what I want to do with my life.

I want to help people.

I want to save the planet.

Are you going to help me with that?

Did your accent just change?

Did you even hear anything that I just said?

Your accent.

It changed.

problem? It's not a problem.

I'm hungry.

Let's eat something.

I have a favor to

ask you.

Because you are very important.

Do you accept this?

It's an important job.

You are just what we need.

And so, I like to ask you something.

And in the end, it might be joyous. Well,

you know, sometimes I don't feel so good.

And sometimes I feel better another day.

So, I'm asking you to stay at the studio.

Never leave.

Not at all.

Not even to go to the city.

Everything is here, you know?

You want to go out to the world.

So much is in here.

You don't want to go out to the world.

Why would you?

It's such an ugly world.

I know what your answer will be.

Ah, shit.

Please, what are you going to do?

You failed me man failed me.

No, it's not over

Well, what have you done?

He, he, the button, he pressed it.

It's the end of the world out there.

I told you, anybody press a button.

I told you so.

Here's the button I pressed.

I said,

here's the button.

together. It's going to be successful.

More than you've ever seen for the studio.

Sing it.

I dream of Jeannie with a bright brown face.

I dream of Jeannie with a bright...

This could be a giraffe!

It's a magic!

This is gorgeous!

Beautiful! Beautiful!

Beautiful! I have the seed!

The seed of destiny!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! This could be dog!

It's the future!

Your wife, at least. Well, can you leave it to me?

You can kill me? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

I

want

to control it.

Here you go.

Here you go.

You know,

rattle.

What's going on? What's going on?

Take a look.

I cannot sign it.

It's wrong.

No matter...

How hard I tried.

You believe me now? You finally believe me now?

Yes.

I can't.

You tried.

No, no, no, no, no.

You must do it right away.

Okay.

Hold the pen like so.

Hold the pen.

Do it again.

Okay, okay, okay.

Let's take a break.

Are you going to do what they want?

Wonderful to see you all. Don't look so nervous. It's not as bad as you think it

is. Everything is under control, I assure you. I just want you to know that

there have been some nefarious entities trying to buy my studio, and I'm not

going to let that happen.

Whoever buys my studio...

is going to have to treat it like their very own baby.

You are all like my baby.

I've nurtured you.

I've developed you.

I've loved you all completely.

Bonjour.

Oh, you want to fight me? I was a boxer when I was a pupil in the Caribbean.

still money and music and movies and books.

People love books. They love movies.

They love something that is entertaining.

They just love entertainment, period.

The people love to see these images. It's all part of what they enjoy.

Entertainment is what people love and enjoy, right? Yes.

We shouldn't be selling at all. No.

We come from Vaudeville after all, don't we?

We're part of entertainment.

People remember even Al Jolson.

They remember the entertainers from way back.

They love the people that are entertaining now.

Entertainment is a part of mankind that people love. We are glad that we have

movies.

And books go way back hundreds of years. We've always enjoyed theater, art.

Literature. Marco.

You done?

I have the best idea so far in this room.

I know the future.

The future of America.

Compton.

It's now only the number 14 most dangerous state.

No longer number 10. No longer in the top 10.

Compton is where it will be.

Speaking of tourists, Asians in particular, who love Americana.

They will love to see, take selfies with all the homeless from Compton. The

criminals, they'll just love the actual experience with them.

Compton is the place to be.

That's who our investors are.

All these ideas sound like very interesting so far.

Except for one thing. They're all coming from stupid people.

But...

South of the quarter.

You know.

The lottery.

And... Ah.

The car.

It's money, Dad.

Not in profit.

There's shrines there.

Do you like kiwi fruit?

How about coir bags?

There's money.

Sea lions.

We have station there.

We have big station over there. We're gonna have the best of our house.
