All language subtitles for Reading Writing & Romance (2013) (Reading.Writing.Romance.2013.1080P.Webrip) (ENGLISH)

Yes, I will email you the sites.

Okay, bye.

Morning, Penny.

A feast for the eyes.

Well, you definitely
could be the next Bond.

That's because I'm so dangerous.

Suave.

Sophisticated.

Clearly.

So, any news on Pard?

No idea.

You'll have to wait
for his eminence.

But... You made the
agency demo reel.

Oh, I think it's coming up next.

Here it goes.

Wow!

Do you ever get that nasty
feeling you just can't shake?

Relief is now available.

Percolax.

Relief in blue.

I really don't want to
know how you prepared.

No, you know... It...
Marty's off the line.

Go right ahead.

Hey.

What can I do for you?

What can I say?

I don't know.

You got it, kid.

You got the new
root beer commercial.

All right!

This is big.

Really.

National commercial.

It's gonna play often
and for a long time.

Ka-ching!

Ka-ching!

That irritated bowel spot,
it's getting a lot of airplay.

I think that might have helped
you get the root beer gig.

Marty, thanks.

You deserve it, kid.

Now get out of here, will ya?

I got work to do.

Hey, look, it's Bowgun.

Hey, Bowgun!

You da man!

Thanks, guys.

Oh!

This meatloaf is delicious.

And it doesn't
upset your stomach.

Mom, I don't have
irritable bowel syndrome.

I was acting.

Yeah.

His acting was so
good, you believed it.

So, when is all this
acting gonna start paying?

Oh, I don't think you
realize just how big this

root beer commercial
is I'm shooting tomorrow.

I mean, it's a national run,
so it's like winning the jackpot.

Yeah, once the
residual checks come in.

But for now, I
mean, it's peanuts.

It's a day's pay.

It's bupkis.

I'm very happy for you.

I mean, for 15 years, you have
struggled to survive on an artist's budget.

The future is bright.

Well, the present is tight.

And I saw where
you're still using our card

to pay off your insurance
premium this month.

And I'm gonna
pay that back soon.

Thank you.

I had lunch with your
old teacher, Brenda Post.

Now she's the principal at that new
Creative Arts and Technology High School.

I love Brenda.

You know, she's the reason I
got into acting in the first place.

Oh, now we know who to thank.

Hush.

One of her English teachers is going out on
maternity leave for the rest of the year.

She needs a sub.

She thought of you.

Sweet of her.

Don't really think...
What's to think?

You spent two years getting
your teacher's credential.

Fifteen years ago
as a backup plan.

Exactly.

Can't hurt to have
a backup plan.

Yeah, it's a couple of months.

You pay down your debt.

And if this commercial
pays off... Dad, it will.

Well, then the rest is
just icing on the cake.

Where's Brenda's phone number?

I don't...

Roll sound.

Rolling.

Aim mark.

And ready and action.

Double R root beer.

True spirit of the West.

Cut.

Let's try one
without the accent.

Okay, here we go.

We're gonna go in quickly.

Jimmy Crafty, where is he?

We're going right away, guys.

Right away, right away.

Here we go.

Action.

Double R root beer.

The true spirit of the West.

Cut.

Nailed it in two takes.

I think she likes you.

So, get this.

They're gonna air this commercial when
the new Bruce Willis Western is released.

When's that gonna happen?

Couple of months.

Marty, I need cash right now.

Man up.

You just made a national commercial
that's tied to a major Hollywood picture.

When this airs, you're gonna be
milking this cash cow for a year.

Ka-ching.

Hey, Mr. Freddie.

Hey, Mr. Intestine.

Oh, you saw my commercial.

Yeah, it runs during
the 11 o'clock news.

What I haven't seen
is the rent check.

I'm sorry.

It's a little late this month.

I got a dozen people
that want this apartment.

Look, I just shot a
national commercial today.

I'm not gonna be late anymore.

It's just gonna take a couple
months till it starts running.

Okay.

I got plenty of moving
boxes if you need any.

So, the check from today's day of
filming, it's gonna be ready next week.

I can give you that.

Yeah, I'd consider that if, uh, I
could hold something as security.

Okay.

Um...

I don't really think I
have anything you need.

Oh, but I think you do.

I swear I didn't do
it, Principal Post.

I've been framed.

Wayne Wenders,
as I live and breathe.

Come on in.

Sit down.

Wow.

Principal's office.

I feel like I'm in
trouble already.

You are if you decide
to teach high school.

Huh.

So, is this the pep talk part?

I've seen grown men cry,
women join a convent, anything

to find an easier life
than teaching high school.

Oh, that sounds great.

When do I start?

I just wanted to warn you.

I know it's temporary, but I think you
are the perfect person to substitute teach.

You see, changes this late in the
year can be difficult for the students,

but you are living
the moment style.

It's just what we need.

So, you're looking
for a kamikaze?

Mrs. Henderson, the
teacher that you will be

replacing, was working on
Shakespeare with her class.

And your theater background
would be a perfect fit.

Finally, because it's useless
in my current line of work.

And you will be teaching
a full English course.

You know, grammar,
vocabulary, the works.

So, you'll be working
under the supervision of

Amy Danville, the head
of our English department.

Brenda, I want you to know I
really appreciate this opportunity.

I have great confidence in you.

Oh, this is Loretta.

Mr. Wenders.

Loretta is our office manager.

She is omnipotent
and omniscient.

Is that true?

I knew you were
going to say that.

It's true.

She is omniscient.

Believe me, around here,
I'd rather be oblivious.

Ah, oblivious and omnipotent.

You should consider politics.

This way.

Bye.

Oh, God.

Amy, I... I'm sorry.

Listen to this malapropism.

The boy was very angry
because his father had

left without him to go
shoot the peasants.

Oh, hi.

Oh, I want you to meet Wayne.

Wayne.

This is Amy Danville,
Wayne Wenders.

Wayne will be filling
in for Mrs. Henderson.

Oh, okay.

Nice to meet you.

Sorry, have we met before?

Oh, um, the...

Are you ill?

The irritable bowel syndrome.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

No, no, I don't have... I
don't... It's a commercial.

I'm the bowel dude.

People recognize me
from this commercial.

I'd forget it.

How do we get
Mr. Wenders up to speed?

When will he start?

Monday.

Monday.

You mean this Monday?

Yes.

Tell you what.

Read this right away to acquaint
yourself with our philosophy of education.

Oh, correlational of language
arts standards to pedagogical

methodologies in a project-based
learning environment.

Wow, somebody likes
to use words, huh?

Amy, uh, wrote that.

Keys.

If you lose them, you pay to
have the whole campus rekeyed.

I'll guard them with my life.

Yeah, I recommend a
retractable belt key clip.

Practical and budget-friendly.

Thank you.

This is the state-mandated training
video on blood-borne pathogens.

It could save your life.

I've got some popcorn
on the way home.

Email ID, temporary password, district
business only, no personal emails,

and our firewall will block all shopping
media and social networking sites.

What do I do for
fun around here?

I heard you were quite
the joker, Mr. Wenders.

You're going to want
to watch that around

the kids if you expect
to be taken seriously.

Oh, yes, I almost forgot.

On behalf of the faculty
and administration, welcome.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Oh, no.

Brady, hold up.

Hey, I'm coming.

Hey, yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Hey, guys.

My name is Wayne, Mr. Wenders.

I'll be taking over for Mrs. Henderson
while she's on maternity leave.

So I hear that you
guys have been... Yes?

Aren't you that bowel guy?

Yes.

Yes, I am.

Now that we've gotten that fascinating
fact out of the way, let's get back to one

of the coolest playwrights to
have ever lived, Shakespeare.

Do you really have
irritable bowel syndrome?

No, I don't.

So how many of you guys... Did
you actually take the medicine?

No, it was a commercial.

Well, that doesn't
seem very honest.

Well, I think the audience
understands that actors

sometimes pretend to be
people they're not, right?

For instance, Shakespeare... But
it doesn't say so in the commercial.

It does, too, in a really
fast voice at the end.

Yeah, and they cause
headaches, bad breath, sweating,

memory loss, paranoid
delusions... Students.

And this dude's only an actor.

Why don't we start with
a play you guys all know?

You read Hamlet last semester.

Who can tell me something?

Something that they
liked about Hamlet.

The end.

It was boring.

Mr. Winders, we have a question.

Last question, then
back to the Bard.

Yeah.

What would happen if
someone took the medicine, even

though they don't actually
have irritable bowel syndrome?

I don't know.

Irritable bowel syndrome.

Hey.

Wow.

Tough first day.

Does our insurance cover
post-traumatic stress disorder?

How did Shakespeare do?

Okay.

I give up.

Tomorrow.

Grammar.

Your first lesson plan?

Brilliant.

I'm just... A little
overwhelmed?

Terrified, actually.

If I can't interest them in the greatest
playwright of all time, how am I going to

make punctuation and...
parts of speech appealing?

Huh?

No.

One?

Make it fun.

Use your own
showmanship and the humor.

Make it cool.

Visual.

Be creative.

Have a good night.

All right.

Attention, folks.

Your attention, please.

Now in this day and age of texting,
instant messaging, Twittering,

and Twittering, we have let go of the
proper grammatical form in the quest to

use the least amount
of characters possible.

But I remind you, form matters.

Punctuation means something.

It has crucial meaning.

Take, for instance,
the following phrase.

What's that ahead in the road?

With very few
changes we can get.

What's that ahead in the road?

All right, folks.

Settle down.

Settle down.

It's just grammar, but as you can
see, it's quite crucial to your survival.

Now today, we are going
to be getting back to basics.

We're going to be working
on prepositional phrases.

But before we do so, I
would like to demonstrate

to you the amazing
power of prepositions.

Please stay right where you are.

I wouldn't want
anyone to get hurt.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I present to you... On.

Yes, that's right.

I am on the desk.

I could not be on the desk
were it not for the preposition on.

And on the desk is a
prepositional phrase.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Standing on the desk, I hear.

Trying to move up in the world.

Student film contest.

I was an actor.

I was an extra on a movie once.

In my younger days.

Now that is a waste.

You, Miss Loretta, are
definitely leading lady material.

So how is it that you
heard I was up on my desk?

Hmm?

It's all the talk.

Stanville, you have a sec?

Yeah, sure, come on in.

How are things going?

Better.

I survived
prepositional phrases.

Survival is good.

Important first step.

Listen, um, there's this
citywide student film contest.

And I was thinking, we
have all this video equipment.

Can you connect the
films to the curriculum?

Absolutely.

I mean, the kids are always complaining
about how boring Shakespeare is.

But I just think if
we can act it out,

they'd see it for the
brilliant drama it is.

It's just, it's impossible
to teach them that.

You have to show them that.

They have the...

What?

I can sort of see
why Brenda hired you.

Because she was desperate.

Yeah.

Look, um, I think making little
Shakespeare movies is a great idea.

Just don't ignore the
rest of the curriculum.

You know, we have
test scores to keep up.

Yes, ma'am.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Anytime.

Oh, Mr. Winders.

Standing on the furniture.

Oh.

That's smart.

Yeah.

So.

Tell me, how is our
Mr. Winders doing?

All right.

Yeah.

He had a bit of a rocky start there,
but I think he's finding his way now.

Good.

Thank you for giving
him a helping hand.

He is one of the
good guys, you know.

Let's hope so.

See you later.

Later.

So, for next Tuesday, I'd like each of
you to pick your favorite character from

Hamlet and write a one-minute
monologue as that character.

About the toughest
moment in your life.

I doubt Hamlet ever
had this much homework.

Okay.

So, before we go to
lunch, I wanted to talk to

you guys about the
upcoming student film festival.

I thought we could try and
shoot some Shakespeare

scenes as short
films and submit them.

That sounds cool.

So, we get to make movies
instead of reading the plays?

No.

We still have to do the reading.

And it's still Shakespeare,
so it's still boring.

Yep.

Okay.

Think about it.

I mean, the really cool
part is we can do the scenes.

And all different
kinds of styles.

I mean, look, we don't have to do
Shakespeare and period costumes, right?

No?

Of course not.

We can shoot Hamlet.

Like Star Wars.

Hamlet returns home from school
on another planet to find out his father,

the interstellar ambassador,
has been murdered by

his uncle who wants to
be the Galactic Emperor.

Or Midsummer Night's Dream.

There's a really dark
Alice in Wonderland world.

Yeah.

That would be nice.

That's exactly right, J.D.

I mean, that's great.

I'm going to find a play where
the only women aren't evil or crazy.

So, for Tuesday, please, a
paragraph on what scene you're doing.

What would you
like to do and why?

And we're going to
sort you out into groups.

Journals, please.

Thank you.

Thanks, guys.

I, uh, need you to copy my reel.

Wow.

The initial works of J.D.

Forrester?

I can't wait to watch this.

Thanks.

Hang on a second, J.D.

I got a feeling about something.

Do me a favor.

Can you autograph that for me?

Um, yeah, sure.

I, uh, I never gave
my autograph before.

Well, you better get used to it.

I think you have a fan.

That kid, he's amazing.

Why don't you come eat
in the teacher's lounge?

I'd love to, but these journals
aren't going to grade themselves.

Oh, come on.

It builds camaraderie
with your colleagues.

Come on.

Come on in.

We don't bite.

I fed the spider to the fly.

The movie star mixes
with the common folk.

Yeah, well, it's kind
of lonely at the top.

Oh, yes.

This, um, must all be
very different for you.

Not what you're used to.

Excuse me?

Teaching.

Uh, more work.

Less reward.

Starving artists just are happy
when the check's clear, I guess.

Wait till the
budget cuts kick in.

You'll feel right at home.

Bye to you.

You would agree that the entertainment
industry is notorious for its excesses.

Oh, absolutely.

I'm just saying that I wish
some of those excesses

made their way over
to me once in a while.

I don't mean any disrespect, but I've
always thought that it required a certain

amount of selfishness to be an artist
of any kind, starving or successful.

Is that not the guy
who does lunch?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm serious.

Here we are in a world where millions
of children are starving every day,

and there I am,
strutting about in front of

the camera, painting
my pictures, doing my art.

A world without art?

I don't know why I
didn't think of that.

I didn't, I didn't... No painting,
no sculpture, and no theater.

Mm, mm-mm.

Okay, you're not willing to
have a serious conversation.

Seriously, then.

Come on.

Without art, what's
going to inspire you?

What's going to inspire us, huh?

What's going to inspire our kids to
end the hunger you're talking about?

Good teachers.

So teach what, exactly?

Math, but not music?

Science, not Shakespeare?

That's a good point.

It's a setup, I tell you.

A setup.

Yeah?

Where's your proof?

They all say that.

You want proof?

Look at me.

Look at me in my eyes.

You know me.

What does your heart tell you?

You.

Okay.

Good.

Oh.

You're the irritable
bowel syndrome guy.

Yeah, that was a fun one.

Would you mind sending
in the next person, please?

Hello?

Marty, it wasn't an audition.

It was psychological torture.

The casting director
read with me.

What's the technical term?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, brain-dead.

Wayne, you still there?

Sorry, can I call you back?

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, right here.

Thanks.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

You stalking me, Mr. Winders?

Well, I was going to
ask you the same thing.

I live just around the corner.

That's your excuse, huh?

Well, I am meeting a friend
who lives in the neighborhood.

Okay.

I think I believe you.

You want to come join
me till she gets here?

I don't really
think that's legal.

It might be seen as
fraternizing among staff.

Oh, right.

Yes, of course.

Well, we are off school property, and
this meeting is entirely happenstance.

All right, all right.

As long as we're very
clear on the parameters.

So clear.

So tell me the truth.

Mr. Winders, are you
enjoying teaching at all?

Actually, I am.

I'm surprised.

I just didn't think it was
going to be so creative.

You know, it's like you have to find a
way to trick your students into learning.

You know, each lesson
is this little show you

put on, hoping it's
going to blow them away.

I guess your acting background
must really help, huh?

Well, it helps me survive.

Each time I'm up there petrified,
I just pretend to be in control.

You know?

Yeah.

You know, I have a really
great respect for actors.

Oh, yeah?

No, I could never do it.

Never try it?

Um...

Yeah, I did once.

It was in high school.

My junior year.

They had auditions
for Romeo and Juliet.

And I was a really awkward girl.

I...

You?

I was shy.

Yes.

Oh, glasses.

I had braces.

And... Yeah.

The whole thing.

So... I had to work extra hard.

Wow.

And?

And, uh...

I literally couldn't speak.

Well... And that always happens.

So... I... Ran out of there.

Ever... Ever try it again?

It was a defining experience.

It was a fascinating
moment, shall we say.

Well, for what it's worth, I would
cast you as Juliet in a heartbeat.

Thank you.

Hey, Marty.

Oh, no, it's Dara.

Marcy's in a meeting, but
I've got a good one for you.

Can you make it to
Culver City by 4.45?

Um, barely.

But, uh... Yeah, I think so.

Perfect.

Where can I fax the sites?

Fax?

Who faxes anymore?

Just email them.

Look, production
is super paranoid.

They won't send anything online.

Get me a fax number.

Uh... All right, hang on.

Hello, Sloan Talent Agency.

Oh, they're on the radio.

Oh, good.

Oh, how good is it?

It's great.

I love it.

I know.

It's nice.

Hey, what was the
audition for, honey?

Ah.

Fertilizer commercial.

I almost died on the freeway
for a chance to sell fertilizer.

Well, stick with teaching.

Double life's gonna kill you.

Dad.

Come on.

She speaks!

Oh, speak again.

Bright angel.

Oh, Romeo, Romeo,
wherefore art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father
and refuse thy name.

Cut.

Cut.

Hang on.

Look.

Um, these guys are teenagers.

Just like you.

Okay?

They're teasing.

They're testing.

They're working it.

Okay?

So just take a breath.

Try it again.

Okay?

Hello, Ms. Danville.

Hello, hello.

Sorry, guys, didn't
mean to interrupt.

Hang on a second.

Um, could use your help.

Uh, with what?

Well, these two could use a taste
of how the dialogue should flow.

It's not really working
with me reading both parts.

No, no, no, no.

I... Please.

I can't.

Please, Ms. Danville.

I need to hear a woman do this.

Every time Mr. Wenders reads
it, I can't take him seriously.

Okay.

My Juliet needs
a little bit of work.

Please.

Come on.

Yeah, come on.

Come on.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Here, let me take those.

Come here.

Come here.

Come on.

You ready?

Yes.

She speaks.

Oh, speak again, bright angel.

Oh, come on.

Oh, Romeo.

Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father, and refuse thy name,
or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,

and I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Shall I hear more, or
shall I speak at this?

Tis but thy name
which is my enemy.

What's in a name?

That which we call a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet.

Romeo, doff thy name, and for that name
which is no part of thee take all myself.

I take thee at thy word, call me but
love, and henceforth I never will be Romeo.

What man art thou that thus was screened
at night, so stumblest on my counsel?

By a name I know not
how to tell thee who I am.

How cam'st thou hither?

Tell me, and wherefore?

The orchard walls are
high, and hard to climb,

and the place death,
considering who thou art.

If any of my
kinsmen find thee...

And that ends today's presentation
of Impromptu Shakespeare.

Everyone back to class.

You were great.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I could kill you.

You were terrific.

I am going to have to
give you detention, mister.

Worth it.

That was fun.

It was.

It was fun.

All right, I got to go to class.

You do too.

Marty, I got a minute.

I got some good
news for you, kid.

I totally agree with you.

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

You okay, Mr. W?

Oh, yeah.

I just, uh, I love grammar.

I love it.

Come on in, please.

Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.

Come on in.

No.

Hello, ladies.

Is the principal in?

No, monsieur.

She's having lunch off campus.

Oh.

Did you win the
lottery or something?

Almost.

They moved up my commercial.

It starts tonight.

Major networks, 8
o'clock on the dot.

How exciting!

No more Bowel Guy.

Now we have Cowboy
Root Beer Dude.

A fine example for our students.

Sid, don't be a party pooper.

Sorry.

I'll go get the silly
hats and confetti.

You know, I have a
feeling he doesn't like me.

Well, I'll be watching for it.

Great.

It's coming up, Mom!

Come on!

Hurry!

You know, this whole
thing is backwards.

He mutes the programs and then
he turns it on for the commercials.

How's the job going, honey?

Yeah.

Oh, you mean the
job I no longer need?

You're not going
to quit, are you?

No, of course not.

I promise, Brenda.

Besides, the kids are really
enjoying the short films we're making.

Here's a break.

Okay.

They got a name for it.

There it is.

I hope this is it.

It's coming.

All right.

Things are different out here.

Skies are wider.

The land goes on forever.

We take care of
things in our own way.

We always have.

It's not cheap.

Like everything else, a western
thirst is its own special kind of thirsty.

A thirst that means business.

A thirst that needs to be tamed.

So when you've got a thirst
as big as the Grand Canyon...

Here we go.

...don't make a
greenhorn mistake.

Reach for Double R Root Beer.

Made in the West to
lasso a western thirst.

Double R Root Beer.

The true spirit of the West.

So round yourself up a six-pack
of Double R Root Beer, partner.

Available at fine
grocers everywhere.

Darling, wasn't that
supposed to be you?

Could it have been... Oh, honey.

Oh, boy.

Oh, jeez.

Well, next time...

Okay.

They say their demographic
skewed more female than male.

That's why they
went with the girl.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

This has nothing to do with you.

Whatever.

So...

What's our next step?

I'll tell you the truth.

I'm having a little difficulty
getting you in the door.

People see you as the irritable
bowel syndrome guy now.

They don't want that
associated with their product.

So... So what do we do now?

Give it some time.

How long do I keep
my head in the sand?

I don't know.

Hey, Mr. W.

What's up with him?

Heard he got cut
out of his commercial.

Guys.

Come on.

I have an idea.

Come on.

Hey.

I know.

That caught me out.

Sorry about that.

Listen.

Brenda wants to see you.

Just...

Tell her I'm gonna
get something to eat.

It sounded serious.

Mr. Troutman has noted some unprofessional
activities, such as bad attitude,

incomplete paperwork, missing assemblies,
commandeering school equipment for

personal reasons, use of the school
office equipment for personal business,

such as the fax machine.

I missed an assembly once.

I used the fax machine once.

I will gladly reimburse
the district if they prefer.

Of course.

This is nonsense.

The fact is...

Troutman can create problems
for both of us if he wants to.

You do want to keep
this job, don't you?

Yes.

Now I really need this job.

Look, I'm sorry about the commercial,
but I went on the line to get you here.

Please don't make me regret it.

Hey there.

The teacher apple thing is a
little cliché, but it's a cool image.

Sorry about the
commercial, Mr. W.

Thank you, guys.

I needed that.

Come take a look.

Stunning.

The poems are beautiful.

Wayne?

Wayne, you there?

Lord, is that you?

Very funny.

Your team needs
you on the field.

On my way.

Duty calls.

Yeah.

Go.

Let fall thy blade
on vulnerable crests.

I bear a charmed life which should
not yield to one of woman born.

Despair thy charm, and let the
angel whom thou stillest serve tell thee,

Macduff was from his mother's...

It's two hours after school,
and they're still having a blast.

Well, I've got the bug.

We'll have the, as our rarest monsters are,
painted on a pole, and underwritten here.

May you see the tyrant.

Excuse me.

All of you need to get
your stuff out of the building.

Cut!

We're rolling here,
Mr. Troutman.

Sid, you don't have to worry.

I'll lock up.

You can go home.

Thank you for covering.

Hey, Mr. Wenders,
could you give us a hand?

Um, something's not working.

We really need you.

Ah, you better go.

They really need you.

The camera?

No, I feel like we need just a little
more advice to this action scene.

Is that, uh, subversive
propaganda?

Hardly.

Henry, five on it.

That's Branagh's
best Shakespeare.

Thought I might try to get a
group of teachers to go together.

Might be fun.

Would you like a
ride to the movie?

Yes.

Um, but, uh, you know,
just so we're, we're clear.

Um, it's not, I can't, it's
not a, you know, date.

Of course not!

No!

It's a...

A collaboration.

A group of staff members seeking to enrich
their knowledge of the immortal bard to,

to expand their skills
on their own initiative.

We could even put in
for overtime if you like.

Okay.

All right then.

It's, um, not a date.

Um, all right.

Well, see you then.

Have a good night, Mr. Wenders.

Good evening, Miss Danville.

Good evening.

Wow, that was fast.

I live on the first floor.

Oh.

You, uh, dress up nice.

Thanks.

Here, let me get that.

I

think it's amazing that
someone can write something 400

years ago and it still touches
people so much today.

That stuff worked.

It had to.

Shakespeare had to please everyone from
the groundlings who would throw their food

if they were bored, to the queen who
could have his head if she was displeased.

Hm.

Well, talk about stage fright.

Here's the car.

Um...

Go get some coffee.

Yes.

Uh, as long as I
don't stay out too late.

No, of course not.

It's a school night.

Yes, it is.

So what do you mean you
didn't date in high school?

Why not?

I did.

Jeez.

Guys, I told you.

I just can't believe it.

I was really awkward.

If Bill Gates looked like you,
I would have asked him out.

No.

You would have done
well for yourself, huh?

Well, not sure I would
have been his type.

You know, for not a date, I'm
having a really... wonderful time.

Yeah, me too.

Hello.

Good morning, Mr. Wenders.

Hello, Miss Danville.

What?

I see nothing.

Nice work.

There you go.

Spencer.

I haven't the words
to describe beauty.

But I can introduce
you to her if you'd like.

I'm done.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hey there.

Here.

Is it for the toast?

Mm-hmm.

You're welcome.

Nice to see you.

Nice to meet you.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, thank you.

Room.

I'm the beautiful bride.

Ah, thanks, John.

Thank you.

So what's a nice girl like you
doing working with my son?

He's actually quite charming.

Oh.

Yeah.

Here he takes after his dad.

Well, you hear right.

Oh, please do not encourage him.

Let me get that.

Okay, everybody.

First, I want to thank you so much
for being here on this special occasion.

And now, a toast
to the love of my life.

That'd be me.

That is you.

And to you, on our 40th
wedding anniversary.

My dear, like fine wine,
you do not grow older.

That's more expensive.

No.

My son, the comedian.

No, like fine wine, you grow more delicate,
richer, and more pleasing with every year.

Here, here.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Thanks for not
saying full-bodied.

But bear it as our Roman actors do,
with untired spirits and formal constancy.

So, good morrow
to you, everyone.

Wow.

Man, that's really great, Jamie.

Thanks.

Two suggestions.

I would use at least
one more wide angle.

It's a little claustrophobic.

And using a wider angle is
going to give it a little more scope.

Also, I would lower
the music cues.

It's kind of leaning
on your dialogue.

Um, got it.

I... Oh, sorry.

Hey, Marty.

You still alive?

Yeah, I know where it is.

I could be there if I leave now?

Okay.

Yeah, thanks.

Okay.

Uh, I gotta go somewhere.

Audition.

How did you know?

Makes sense.

Look, I'm not supposed to leave
you alone here, but I trust you.

Just make sure you're out here
before they turn the alarms on.

Got it.

Good work.

Thank you.

Perfect.

An audition.

Not district business, Winders.

Meet me at Ice Cream Shop.

Isn't that sweet?

All right.

Let's see.

Who else you've been emailing?

A zombie movie, huh?

Well, it's a leading role.

I usually don't get to read
for movie parts this big.

Do you have to eat brains?

For this role, I would
eat brains all day long.

I haven't had an
audition in so long.

All right.

You know, you
should do more theater.

Yeah.

Teaching's kind of the
perfect day job for it, right?

Most rehearsals are at night.

Yikes.

Hmm.

What?

You make it sound like I'll
be... What do you mean?

You make it sound
like I'm an amateur.

No.

No.

Okay.

Sorry.

People use the word amateur like it
means not good enough to get paid, but ama,

love, toure, one who.

It just means one
who does it for love.

Well, I can assure you,
mademoiselle, I do it for love.

Hey, if a full-time teaching position
came up next year, would you consider it?

Next year?

Oh, yeah?

What?

No, I just, I've never really
been in a next year scenario.

Always gig to gig.

You two working late?

Sid, hi.

Yes.

What a surprise.

I've come by for a bite to eat.

Who do I see?

Yeah.

I'm surprised, too.

I never really took
you for an ice cream.

More of an ice cream guy.

More of a liver and onions.

Yes, you with your jokes.

It would be interesting to see you
in a, um, serious situation someday.

Mm.

Well, enjoy your evening.

Yeah.

See ya.

Stop.

This isn't funny.

He saw us together.

This is, this is bad.

What can he do?

One of us could have
to transfer schools.

You really think so?

Hey, Marty.

I'm about to head in.

You've got to be kidding me.

Oh, that's awesome!

You just found out?

And what's the pay?

You didn't actually think that I
would be happy about this, did you?

I know and I feel terrible, but you have
to understand what a break this is for me.

I can't turn down a
lead role six weeks.

Did I imagine that you said
you would commit to this job?

Well, I assumed it was a
given if I got a major role.

Hamlet on Broadway, maybe, but
a zombie movie in Canada, really?

I have another week.

You can get a sub for my classes, and
I was hoping you could run Movie Night.

Oh.

All right, I can host the film screening,
but I cannot oversee their projects.

More importantly, have you thought
about what this is teaching your students?

So, the poem celebrates
Van Gogh's brilliance,

balanced against the
terrible loss of his death.

Please write a one-page
response to this for Monday.

How else can we measure
success besides money?

Hello, Mr. Wenders.

Stanbo?

What?

I got the lead.

Zombie movie.

Oh, I didn't know
you had so much!

Six weeks in Toronto.

Wow, when does it start?

About a week.

A week?

We got a lot to talk about.

Tonight, we celebrate.

Guys, sorry.

You're leaving us?

I was just gonna tell you guys.

How'd you find out?

I was making script
copies in the office, and

I overheard the
principal telling Loretta.

Yeah.

Well, I have no choice.

This is the chance
of a lifetime.

What about us?

All our projects?

Yeah.

Come on, you
guys are doing great.

JD's cuts are fantastic.

Principal Post is
gonna run the screening.

Oh, great.

They'll get a sub
for my classes.

Anyone can do my job.

No one did before.

JD, wait!

JD!

I'm gonna be here for
a whole nother week.

Okay, guys?

Let's stay focused.

We want to finish
this year strong.

You know, I was thinking, after you finish
school, I could fly you up to location.

It'd be fun.

Yeah, maybe.

You okay?

Sorry.

Sorry.

I'm just a little
tired and confused.

I think I just need
a good night's rest.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I know it's weird.

I feel terrible about it on the one
hand, but I can't pass up this chance.

Yeah.

No, I'm sorry.

I...

I mean, a zombie movie.

It just does not strike
me as such a good movie.

It's a great opportunity that
you can walk away from the kids.

Well, a lot of successful
actors started in horror, so...

I know.

I'm...

Like, I'm not questioning the
nature of the opportunity for you.

It's not about that.

It's...

I mean, I think I
just need a little time

to... to process this
whole thing, that's all.

Yeah.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night.

Can I come in?

Um... Sure.

I, uh... I heard about Wenders.

I'm sorry.

I know you two
had become... close.

I don't really
care to discuss it.

Oh, but I think there's
something you should know.

Uh, had he not quit, I
might have had him fired.

For dating me.

Oh, no.

Amy.

It turns out...

he was playing us all along.

We did an email audit.

I know, some of the personal ones
I managed to keep out of the file.

But...

there is a whole
series with his agent.

From the beginning... he
was begging to get out of here.

And he does not describe
us in the kindest terms.

I guess it's all been an act.

Ladies and gentlemen...
I'll be honest with you.

I was shocked at the poor
level of writing these essays.

It was like you gave up.

You can't do that.

Mr. Wenders.

What's wrong?

I'm just really busy.

Is there something you need?

Yeah, I need you.

What's the matter?

I'm at a loss here.

Yeah.

Well, then as am I.

Hey, I know you're
upset about the job.

Amy.

Hey.

What about us?

Us?

Half of us is you.

Amy.

See, I don't know who that is.

Look, I don't know
what happened.

Okay, I'm sorry
about my decision.

You work so hard.

And the kids work so hard.

Dad, I'm an actor, okay?

This is what I do.

Well, so act.

You know, do your plays
and your summer stock.

Make something for the tube you.

It's YouTube.

It's not the same thing.

Look, I'm a professional.

I'm finally being
offered a lead role.

I need to take it.

Son, I honestly believe
that if you do this,

you may regret it for
the rest of your life.

How can doing a
horror movie ruin my life?

I'm not talking
about this stupid film.

And commitment is action.

And there's a real acting
lesson for you, buddy.

You know what?

I need to take a walk.

Wayne!

Let him go.

Not wanting to grow up,
Peter stayed in Neverland.

Wendy grew old, but
never forgot about him.

It was love in its purest form.

The end.

Miss Stanville, are you okay?

Uh, yes.

I'm sorry.

That was just... It was
such a good book report.

I'm just really moved.

Good job.

Okay, who's next?

Good night.

Parting is such sweet sorrow that I
shall say good night till it be morrow.

Cut!

Okay, that's good enough.

Let's wrap it up.

Good enough?

Good enough.

Where's your passion, huh?

Where's your commitment?

Is the lesson in irony?

Touche, Mr. Forster.

In fact, it is, but, um, the
lesson wasn't for you to learn.

It was for me.

See, the great thing
about being a teacher is

that you get to keep
learning from your students.

And in this case, you, my
students, my collaborators.

You taught me a whole
lot about creativity, about

commitment, about what
it means to be a teacher.

You see, this is the nearly tragic
story of a man who was given a great

opportunity, an opportunity to use
all his talent, his heart, his mind to do

something extraordinary, and
he nearly walked away from it.

I want you to know I'm proud
of every single one of you.

I hope you can forgive my
temporary lapse in judgment.

I'd have to be crazy to walk
away from what we're doing here.

You're passing on
the zombie movie?

I don't need zombies.

I get to work with
real monsters.

Come on.

We got work to do.

Let's go.

Let's try it again from the top.

All right, people.

What's up?

Mr. Winders is staying.

I knew I was right about him.

I just knew it.

Good news, huh?

J.D.

How could you do this
to your favorite teacher?

There you go.

Thanks.

Wayne, I'm pleased you came back for
the kids and for the movie projects and,

well, I guess for me.

But I'm having a hard time reconciling
my feelings with these emails you wrote.

I fear that this
is the real you.

No, I would have known
if we did an email audit.

Yeah, but where
did she get these?

I don't know.

But I know someone who
could help us figure it out.

It's Troutman.

He must have scanned
the emails from here.

You should never
forget to log off your

account when he printed
them out in his office.

His mistake was he didn't
erase it from the print logs.

Well, I didn't know how.

Marty, thank you for
getting me out of here.

I couldn't keep up this performance
or even with such a gullible audience.

Pretty as one may be.

Oh, ouch.

But I didn't write that.

There it is.

Troutman wrote it himself,
but... He never sent it.

He didn't want you to
be alerted by your agent.

Plus, he didn't even insert
your agent's email address.

Obviously, it wasn't
written by you.

Kid, I'm just glad
you're on our side.

Yeah.

JD, you did great.

Really.

We gotta get ready
for tonight, though.

Yeah.

Wow.

Wait.

Break a leg.

Isn't that what they
say on opening night?

Thank you.

And Mr. Wenders is the teacher responsible
for tonight's cinematic entertainment.

Mr. Wenders, may I introduce Mrs.
Isabel Bayless of the school board and Ms.

Millicent Kane, vice chair of
the district education committee.

Well, welcome.

Pleasure.

Pleasure to have you here.

I can't really take
much credit for the kids.

Kids did all the work.

Hope you enjoy yourselves.

Hello, Millie.

What a surprise.

Sid didn't tell me that you
were planning on coming.

Ladies, we're just here.

JD, come to the stage door.

Mr. W is giving a pep talk.

Well, as they say,
it's showtime, folks.

How many of you
guys are nervous?

Yeah.

I am.

Yeah, me too.

I gotta tell you, I've
done a lot of shows in

my life, but I have
never been this excited.

I'm really, really
proud of yourselves.

We're proud of you, too, Mr. W.

You da man.

All right, let's get in there.

Remember, you guys, break a leg.

Proud of you.

Go on.

Woo-hoo!

Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to our first

ever senior student
Shakespeare film festival.

Please remember to turn
off your cell phones, game

consoles, and any other
weapons of mass destruction.

And now, here's your
host, Mr. Wayne Wenders.

Oh, Dad, hi.

Thank you all.

I'm very proud
to be here tonight.

Just wanted to bring your
attention to the front row,

first of all, and also
back in the booth, Mr. J.D.

Forrester.

These are the young
filmmakers who get to see their

work in front of a real
audience for the first time.

They all deserve a huge round of
applause for their hard work, their talent,

and their commitment.

So then, um, without
much ado, enjoy the show.

Mr. Wenders.

Uh, Ms. Danville.

Bravo.

It was an excellent show.

Thank you.

The principal informed
me that, um, you

were the victim of
malicious identity theft.

So, um, does this mean
we're collaborating again?

I was kinda hoping more
along the lines of fraternizing.

I'm gonna give
you two detention.

It's worth it.

Now, sir, what is your text?

Most sweet lady.

Oh, a comfortable doctrine,
and much may be said of it.

Where lies your text?

In Orsino's bosom.

In his bosom?

In what chapter of his bosom?

To answer by the method,
in the first of his heart.

Oh, I have read it.

It is heresy.

Have you no more to say?

Good madam, let
me see your face.

Have you any commission from
your lord to negotiate with my face?

You are now out of
your text, but we will

draw the curtain and
let you see the picture.

Look you, sir, such a
one I was this present.

It's not well done.

So, Amy, have you
decided when exactly...

This new kid, Amy Danville,
is a pretty good actor, huh?

Brilliant.

She has a very
committed fan base.

So tell me, how is it being a
producer of Summerstock Theatre?

Oh, the perks are great,
but the pay is horrendous.

Speaking of pay, I'm dealing with
some staff problems at my day job.

Oh.

Now that Troutman has been
transferred to a new school...

Surprise, surprise.

And Mrs. Henderson has decided
to take a year off to be with her baby.

I'm searching for a
suitable replacement.

Does this mean
I'll get a trailer?

No.

Huh.

But there is money
in the back end.

No.

I believe I will have to
check with my people then.

You do that.

See you tonight.

Okay, folks, let's break.

Fifteen minutes.

Please be back
in fifteen minutes.

Is Brenda okay?

Oh, she's okay.

She just, you know,
wanted to offer me a job.

Full-time teaching position.

Kidding.

What did you say?

Well, you know I've had problems
with commitment in the past.

Right.

So?

So, first things first.

As Miranda said to Ferdinand and the
Tempest, I am your wife if you'll marry me.

If not, I'll die your maid.

Yes!

Yes, yes, yes!

That's beautiful.
