Damn! My advertisers

00:00:06,492 --> 00:00:09,526
I sold all this space based
on having "TLC" on the cover

00:00:09,592 --> 00:00:13,792
but now "TLC" has to go to LA
to shoot a PSA for the NBA.

‐ Now, I'm PO'ed.
‐ Join the club.

00:00:17,859 --> 00:00:20,392
I tried to get tickets for
"Naughty by Nature" today

7
00:00:20,459 --> 00:00:24,826
all they had was row, Triple Z.
And I do not like nose bleeds.

8
00:00:24,892 --> 00:00:26,359
"Naughty by Nature" is in town?

9
00:00:26,426 --> 00:00:28,292
‐ 'Yeah.' ‐ I'll get
them for the cover.

10
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:29,526
I know Vinnie.

11
00:00:29,592 --> 00:00:32,126
You're tight with
"Naughty by Nature"?

12
00:00:32,192 --> 00:00:34,426
Prove it. Get me a
date with Treach.

13
00:00:36,826 --> 00:00:38,392
Nah. She's tight with him.

14
00:00:38,459 --> 00:00:41,192
Her and Vinnie used to torture
me when we were kids.

15

Alright, let it go, Regine.

16
00:00:43,926 --> 00:00:46,726
He made me eat flies, Khadijah.
Flies!

17
00:00:48,526 --> 00:00:51,026
Khadijah, you think you can
get me front row seats?

18
00:00:51,092 --> 00:00:52,659
I mean, money is no object.

19
00:00:52,726 --> 00:00:54,859
I'll pay 40 percent
of the face value.

‐ Consider it done. ‐ Thank you.

fam, I'm tellin' you.

would I play?

is a good play.

00:04:14,452 --> 00:04:16,452
You know, it's gonna
take a lotta rehearsal.

94
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:18,652
It could eke into
our snuggle time.

our relationship

as an excuse not to
pursue your dream.

play the oboe, Obie.

to their publicist

104
00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:47,686
who transferred me to
their personal assistant

105
00:04:47,752 --> 00:04:50,419
who transferred me to you.
Who are you?

106
00:04:54,019 --> 00:04:56,419
No, I'm very happy with
my long distance carrier.

exercise called The Mirror.

109

The Mirror? Hmm,
sounds intriguing.

110
00:05:07,892 --> 00:05:11,159
Yes, all we have to do is
look each other in the eyes

111
00:05:11,226 --> 00:05:13,159
and mirror each
other's every move.

112
00:05:21,192 --> 00:05:23,126

113
00:05:24,726 --> 00:05:26,959
Well, in my mirror,
you need a touch up.

00:05:33,992 --> 00:05:37,959
Hey, hi, ma.

115
00:05:38,026 --> 00:05:39,392
Oh, nothing.

and tell you I love you.

to Vinnie's mother's house

119
00:05:47,792 --> 00:05:49,892
and get his number for me.

120
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:52,459

121
00:05:52,526 --> 00:05:54,492
Well, ma, there is a
pooper‐scooper law.

122

Smokey do that on her lawn.

123

[whispers] I'm sorry.

129
00:06:11,366 --> 00:06:13,299
Okay, ma, thanks anyway.

130
00:06:15,032 --> 00:06:17,766
‐ Oh, eggplant. ‐
Back off, it's mine.

131
00:06:19,599 --> 00:06:22,099
I don't wanna eat it.
I wanna say it.

132
00:06:22,166 --> 00:06:25,332
Oh, well, that makes sense.

133
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:26,832
It's an acting technique.

134
00:06:26,899 --> 00:06:29,132
If you remove all language
except for one word

135
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:32,899
it forces you to use that one
word to express all emotion.

136
00:06:34,499 --> 00:06:36,099
Eggplant.

137
00:06:37,732 --> 00:06:39,532
Eggplant.

138
00:06:40,732 --> 00:06:41,999
Eggplant!

139
00:06:44,966 --> 00:06:46,666
Eggplant.

140
00:06:48,999 --> 00:06:52,166
You know, somehow I don't
think Denzel's walking around

141
00:06:52,232 --> 00:06:54,166
his house going..

142
00:06:55,499 --> 00:06:57,099
Eggplant.

143
00:06:59,232 --> 00:07:01,139
So, what is this play about?

144
00:07:01,206 --> 00:07:03,439
It's about the choices
that we have to make

145
00:07:03,506 --> 00:07:06,606
between material goods and
spiritual fulfillment.

146
00:07:06,672 --> 00:07:09,406
Nah, I read it and thought
it was about eight people

147
00:07:09,472 --> 00:07:12,939
standing in line at the ATM.

148
00:07:13,006 --> 00:07:14,406
It's about that too.

149
00:07:14,472 --> 00:07:17,372
And Aaron is thinking
about expanding my part.

150
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:19,906
So that you're woman
with two shopping bags.

152
00:07:24,039 --> 00:07:26,872
Hey, now, I finally found
something I'm good at.

153
00:07:26,939 --> 00:07:30,306
Remember, many a successful
actor had humble beginnings.

154
00:07:30,372 --> 00:07:32,639
Michelle Pfeiffer was
a checkout girl.

155
00:07:32,706 --> 00:07:35,406
Brad Pitt worked
in a chicken suit.

156
00:07:35,472 --> 00:07:38,672
I worked for Khadijah,
I'm gonna be big.

157
00:07:38,739 --> 00:07:40,906
[laughing]

158
00:07:40,972 --> 00:07:42,872
Eggplant.

159
00:07:45,606 --> 00:07:48,006
The ATM just ate my card.

160
00:07:49,139 --> 00:07:51,906
And I have exceeded
my withdrawal limit.

161
00:07:53,739 --> 00:07:56,172
I can receive no more.

162
00:07:58,172 --> 00:08:00,546
Then you may only give.

163
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:05,046
[clapping]

164
00:08:07,612 --> 00:08:09,646
Powerful stuff, people.

165
00:08:09,712 --> 00:08:10,979
Oh.

166
00:08:11,046 --> 00:08:12,779
Okay, notes.

167
00:08:12,846 --> 00:08:16,446
Uh, lady in heels, project.

168
00:08:17,646 --> 00:08:20,846
Fat man with camera

169
00:08:20,912 --> 00:08:22,579
you need to focus.

170
00:08:22,646 --> 00:08:25,812
That was a truly
moving performance

171
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:27,246
and I should know.

172
00:08:27,312 --> 00:08:30,463
I studied acting across the
street from Juilliard.

173
00:08:30,530 --> 00:08:32,363
Oh.

174
00:08:32,430 --> 00:08:34,363
Okay. Everybody, gather around.

175
00:08:36,530 --> 00:08:39,863
Now, last night, I was
reading this final scene

176
00:08:39,930 --> 00:08:42,297
and I got really bummed out.

177
00:08:42,363 --> 00:08:45,197
You know, I felt like
the climax just didn't.

178
00:08:46,530 --> 00:08:48,463
Then I got inspired.

179
00:08:49,997 --> 00:08:52,497
It is so exciting when
your muse strikes.

180
00:08:52,563 --> 00:08:54,497
Mine always pops
up when I loofah.

181
00:08:55,963 --> 00:08:58,297
Aaron, the scene, yeah

182
00:08:58,363 --> 00:09:00,870
it takes the play to
a whole new level.

183
00:09:00,937 --> 00:09:04,370
From heels, to
clogs, to sandals.

184
00:09:04,437 --> 00:09:06,270
It's every woman's story.

185
00:09:07,870 --> 00:09:10,470
Aaron, um, this Xerox
is a little fuzzy.

186
00:09:10,537 --> 00:09:12,803
What's that word? Rude, crude?

187
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:15,570
Oh, no, that's nude.

188
00:09:15,637 --> 00:09:18,803
‐ I come into the scene nude?
‐ Yeah.

189
00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:22,270
Okay. Everybody, let's
take it from the top.

190
00:09:30,533 --> 00:09:32,000
[door opens]

191
00:09:37,562 --> 00:09:39,529
I come home from a
long day's work

192
00:09:39,595 --> 00:09:41,829
and find you two kickin'
it in my apartment

193
00:09:41,895 --> 00:09:44,529
what's wrong with this picture?

194
00:09:44,595 --> 00:09:47,295
Kyle's here.

195
00:09:47,362 --> 00:09:50,129
I'm here waitin' for Khadijah
to come home with my tickets.

196
00:09:50,195 --> 00:09:52,695
I'm waitin' for Khadijah to
come home with my weekend.

197
00:09:52,762 --> 00:09:54,195
Treach.

198
00:10:00,895 --> 00:10:04,502
There I am trying to jump on the
hood of Vinnie's car, right

199
00:10:04,569 --> 00:10:06,902
as it comes out of
the private garage.

200
00:10:06,969 --> 00:10:09,469
Then out of nowhere,
these two bodyguards

201
00:10:09,535 --> 00:10:12,835
grab me and throw me
into the fruit stand.

202
00:10:12,902 --> 00:10:14,835
I got kiwi all over my butt.

203
00:10:16,302 --> 00:10:19,469
Oh, so basically
what I'm hearing

204
00:10:19,535 --> 00:10:21,469
is there are no tickets.

205
00:10:23,135 --> 00:10:24,435
Come on, Khadijah

206
00:10:24,502 --> 00:10:26,735
you can call one of your
other celebrity friends.

207
00:10:26,802 --> 00:10:28,769
I hear Shaun Cassidy is in town.

208
00:10:30,635 --> 00:10:32,135
Okay.

209
00:10:32,202 --> 00:10:33,202
Hmm.

210
00:10:33,235 --> 00:10:35,869
You win. I guess you're right.

211
00:10:35,935 --> 00:10:38,702
I guess me and Vinnie weren't
as tight as I thought.

212
00:10:38,769 --> 00:10:41,469
I don't know why you
tryin' to track him down.

213
00:10:41,535 --> 00:10:45,069
Little rat used to wear mirrors
on his shoes in the playground.

214
00:10:47,169 --> 00:10:49,469
Looking up under my dress.

215
00:10:54,235 --> 00:10:55,635
[sighs]

216
00:11:03,009 --> 00:11:04,242
[sighs]

217
00:11:06,775 --> 00:11:08,709
Alright, this time try it happy.

218
00:11:10,375 --> 00:11:12,509
Wassup, Synclaire?

219
00:11:12,575 --> 00:11:14,609
Aaron reconceptualized the play.

220
00:11:16,142 --> 00:11:20,042
He made a very interesting
costume change.

221
00:11:20,109 --> 00:11:23,842
Oh, well, if you don't like the
wardrobe just accessorize.

222
00:11:23,909 --> 00:11:26,475
Some pearls and a purse makes
a world of difference.

223
00:11:28,142 --> 00:11:31,442
I'd need a whole lot of pearls
and a mighty big purse.

224
00:11:33,442 --> 00:11:35,509
So, what does he
want you to wear?

225
00:11:35,575 --> 00:11:37,475
Nothing.

226
00:11:37,542 --> 00:11:39,475
You, you gonna be naked?

227
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:47,975
Synclaire, I'm asking you
this because I love you.

228
00:11:48,042 --> 00:11:50,009
You're not gonna be
dancing in a cage

229
00:11:50,075 --> 00:11:52,409
or nothin' like that, are you?

230
00:11:52,475 --> 00:11:54,275
Of course not.

231
00:11:54,342 --> 00:11:58,442
My character represents purity
in this technocratic society.

232
00:11:58,509 --> 00:12:00,415
Her nudity is essential
to the play.

233
00:12:00,482 --> 00:12:01,982
So what's the big deal?

234
00:12:02,049 --> 00:12:05,749
My character looks a lot
like me in the nude.

235
00:12:05,815 --> 00:12:08,415
Oh, please. It's no big deal.

236
00:12:08,482 --> 00:12:11,649
I've gone to a lotta nude
beaches, this is no different.

237
00:12:11,715 --> 00:12:14,282
Yeah, but you don't have
50 people starin' at you

238
00:12:14,349 --> 00:12:15,915
with their mouths wide open.

239
00:12:15,982 --> 00:12:18,049
Speak for yourself.

240
00:12:19,549 --> 00:12:21,515
I don't know what to do?

241
00:12:21,582 --> 00:12:24,449
This is gonna be a hard
one for you, Khadijah.

242
00:12:24,515 --> 00:12:27,282
Uh‐ah, no, it's not.
This is your decision.

243
00:12:27,349 --> 00:12:29,849
Yeah, what's running
through my mind is

244
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:31,982
what did Overton have to say?

245
00:12:32,049 --> 00:12:34,882
I haven't seen him yet. I'm
sure he'll understand.

246
00:12:34,949 --> 00:12:36,382
Hell, no!

247
00:12:38,382 --> 00:12:40,382
I don't want your special
gifts on display

248
00:12:40,449 --> 00:12:42,815
for every Tom, Dick or Rahim.

249
00:12:45,749 --> 00:12:47,115
I know.

250
00:12:47,182 --> 00:12:50,382
One of the messages of the play
is that clothing is artificial.

251
00:12:50,449 --> 00:12:52,382
Not if you wear all cotton.

252
00:12:54,015 --> 00:12:55,449
I'm so confused.

253
00:12:55,515 --> 00:12:58,515
If I wanna be an actor and
the part calls for nudity

254
00:12:58,582 --> 00:13:00,049
who am I to say no?

255
00:13:00,115 --> 00:13:02,755
Overton's girlfriend.

256
00:13:02,822 --> 00:13:05,255
Obie, I'm not totally
comfortable with it either

257
00:13:05,322 --> 00:13:07,055
but isn't this part
of the commitment

258
00:13:07,122 --> 00:13:08,622
I've made to my craft?

259
00:13:08,689 --> 00:13:10,155
Oh, hey, I'm a craftsman too

260
00:13:10,222 --> 00:13:13,489
but you don't see me usin' my
ratchet in the raw, do you?

261
00:13:15,589 --> 00:13:18,789
Alright, Obie, if you really
don't want me to do it.

262
00:13:18,855 --> 00:13:21,355
Oh, no. Oh, no.

263
00:13:21,422 --> 00:13:23,722
I'm man of the 90s,
I'm much too savvy

264
00:13:23,789 --> 00:13:25,289
to fall into that trap.

265
00:13:25,355 --> 00:13:28,855
Gee, if I say no, you'll resent
me for the rest of your life.

266
00:13:28,922 --> 00:13:32,422
If I say yep, then you catch a
cold and it's still my fault.

267
00:13:34,089 --> 00:13:37,455
Oh, no, girly, this
decision is yours.

268
00:13:37,522 --> 00:13:39,755
You're not gonna help
me with this, are you?

269
00:13:39,822 --> 00:13:41,555
Oh, sure I will.

270
00:13:41,622 --> 00:13:43,989
I'll be behind you no
matter what you do.

271
00:13:44,055 --> 00:13:46,589
Now, if you'll excuse me

272
00:13:46,655 --> 00:13:49,989
I'm gonna go down to my workshop
and make a sign that says.

273
00:13:50,055 --> 00:13:51,955
"Upon entering the theater

274
00:13:52,022 --> 00:13:55,189
please leave all photographic
equipment with the handyman."

275
00:13:58,655 --> 00:14:00,595
Aaron, how do I put this?

276
00:14:01,695 --> 00:14:03,429
There's no way on
God's green Earth

277
00:14:03,495 --> 00:14:05,562
I'm gonna show my
tatas on stage.

278
00:14:06,695 --> 00:14:08,629
Now, let me explain
what I've done

279
00:14:08,695 --> 00:14:10,462
with the ballet sequence.

280
00:14:10,529 --> 00:14:15,129
You will pirouette, arabesque,
and leap, landing here.

281
00:14:16,329 --> 00:14:18,662
‐ So, we're loosing the split.
‐ Hm‐hm.

282
00:14:18,729 --> 00:14:22,395
[chuckles] Aaron,
you're a genius.

283
00:14:22,462 --> 00:14:24,962
Synclaire, you're not supposed
to be here for another hour.

284
00:14:25,029 --> 00:14:26,762
Well, I‐I want to talk to you.

285
00:14:26,829 --> 00:14:30,595
Oh, you guys have got to be
my most dedicated actors.

286
00:14:30,662 --> 00:14:32,929
You know, that's the kinda
commitment that separates

287
00:14:32,995 --> 00:14:36,895
the wannabes from the gonnabes.
You two rule.

288
00:14:37,962 --> 00:14:39,562
Fat man, why don't you stretch

289
00:14:39,629 --> 00:14:41,062
while I talk to Synclaire?

290
00:14:41,129 --> 00:14:44,195
So, uh, what's up?

291
00:14:45,395 --> 00:14:46,595
Aaron.

292
00:14:46,662 --> 00:14:49,162
You, I believe you are an
extraordinary director

293
00:14:49,229 --> 00:14:50,762
and I respect your work deeply.

294
00:14:50,829 --> 00:14:51,962
Ditto.

295
00:14:52,029 --> 00:14:54,629
You know, that's why I gave
you the pivotal moment.

296
00:14:54,695 --> 00:14:57,395
Because I know you can carry it.

297
00:14:57,462 --> 00:14:59,429
Oh, gee, it's not so much me

298
00:14:59,495 --> 00:15:01,835
as a gift that comes through me.

299
00:15:01,902 --> 00:15:04,235
Man, I can't wait
for tomorrow night.

300
00:15:04,302 --> 00:15:06,502
You know, we are gonna
show that audience

301
00:15:06,569 --> 00:15:08,502
something they rarely see.

302
00:15:10,202 --> 00:15:12,269
Maybe not. Ha ha ha.

303
00:15:12,335 --> 00:15:15,235
What I'm trying to say,
Aaron, is that I fee‐‐.

304
00:15:15,302 --> 00:15:18,302
You know what? Wait till you
see these really cool posters.

305
00:15:19,202 --> 00:15:21,535
Check it out.

306
00:15:21,602 --> 00:15:24,402
'"ATM. No Funds Available.'

307
00:15:24,469 --> 00:15:27,335
Featuring, Synclaire James."

308
00:15:28,602 --> 00:15:31,935
Why, I've never been
featured before.

309
00:15:32,002 --> 00:15:34,035
My name is so big.

310
00:15:35,469 --> 00:15:37,702
What time do you want
me here tomorrow night?

311
00:15:37,769 --> 00:15:39,369
‐ 6:30, sharp. ‐ I'm there.

312
00:15:39,435 --> 00:15:41,935
Aaron, question.

313
00:15:42,002 --> 00:15:44,102
Who's going to lift me?

314
00:15:47,902 --> 00:15:49,902
Alright, Regine, curtain
goes up at 8 o'clock

315
00:15:49,969 --> 00:15:51,602
let's get a move on.

316
00:15:51,669 --> 00:15:52,802
[knocking]

317
00:16:06,909 --> 00:16:08,442
Vinnie!

318
00:16:08,509 --> 00:16:11,409
Well, you can hey‐ho your
ass right out the building.

319
00:16:14,809 --> 00:16:17,475
Khadijah, that was
"Naughty by Nature."

320
00:16:17,542 --> 00:16:19,075
Treach!

321
00:16:22,409 --> 00:16:25,109
Hi, Naughty. I am too.
Won't you come in please.

322
00:16:27,709 --> 00:16:30,942
Khadijah, how you just go and
slam the door on my face.

323
00:16:31,009 --> 00:16:33,275
I knew he wasn't still
tight with her.

324
00:16:33,342 --> 00:16:37,275
Braggin' about knowin' some
big magazine publisher. Yeah.

325
00:16:37,342 --> 00:16:39,609
So, so, Treach.

326
00:16:39,675 --> 00:16:41,809
What are your plans
for the evening?

327
00:16:41,875 --> 00:16:44,575
Hmm. Nothin' much,
just a little..

328
00:16:52,809 --> 00:16:54,642
Ooh, it's, uh

329
00:16:54,709 --> 00:16:56,642
too freaky for me, excuse me.

330
00:17:00,982 --> 00:17:02,249
Oh, come on, Khadijah.

331
00:17:02,315 --> 00:17:05,582
I came as soon as I figured out
what happened at the hotel.

332
00:17:05,649 --> 00:17:08,382
It was that silly clerk,
told me it was some groupie

333
00:17:08,449 --> 00:17:10,315
stalkin' me, named
Cathedral Jones.

334
00:17:12,015 --> 00:17:13,315
Cathedral Jones?

335
00:17:13,382 --> 00:17:17,315
Isn't that the girl who did
those scrap movies in the 70s?

336
00:17:17,382 --> 00:17:20,715
Look, first of all, your
mother owes my dog an apology.

337
00:17:20,782 --> 00:17:22,982
Alright, cool. It's‐it's
done, It's done.

338
00:17:23,049 --> 00:17:25,415
Secondly, the reason I'm
going through all of this..

339
00:17:25,482 --> 00:17:27,982
I really need an interview and
some photos for "Flavor."

340
00:17:28,049 --> 00:17:30,215
Alright, we'll handle that too.
Anything for you.

341
00:17:30,282 --> 00:17:31,749
Cathedral.

342
00:17:35,115 --> 00:17:36,649
Hey, Nay‐Nay.

343
00:17:40,315 --> 00:17:42,249
Get him out of my house.

344
00:17:43,449 --> 00:17:46,082
We sure got a big Vin
Fan Club in here.

345
00:17:47,349 --> 00:17:49,082
Vinnie, I got one
question for you.

346
00:17:49,149 --> 00:17:50,315
Hm‐mm?

347
00:17:50,382 --> 00:17:53,915
Why did you make me eat flies?

348
00:17:53,982 --> 00:17:57,649
Listen, listen, I was just a
kid and it was the only way

349
00:17:57,715 --> 00:18:01,222
I could think of to let you
know that I liked you.

350
00:18:01,289 --> 00:18:02,522
Yeah, well..

351
00:18:02,589 --> 00:18:04,355
You must've really
liked Wanda Richardson

352
00:18:04,422 --> 00:18:06,355
you made her eat a caterpillar.

353
00:18:08,122 --> 00:18:10,922
Check it out, babe, you see,
he's the smoothest player

354
00:18:10,989 --> 00:18:12,789
out of the three of us here.

355
00:18:15,455 --> 00:18:16,489
So, so, so, so.

356
00:18:16,555 --> 00:18:17,622
[chuckles]

357
00:18:17,689 --> 00:18:18,855
Listen, um..

358
00:18:18,922 --> 00:18:21,655
Would you guys like to
go to a play with us?

359
00:18:21,722 --> 00:18:23,189
Khadijah's cousin
is starring in it.

360
00:18:23,255 --> 00:18:25,622
Hmm, thanks, but we really
don't have the time.

361
00:18:25,689 --> 00:18:27,455
‐ She's going to be naked.
‐ Whoa!

362
00:18:27,522 --> 00:18:30,622
‐ We can carve out an hour.
‐ Two.

363
00:18:30,689 --> 00:18:33,789
Alright, alright. Hey‐ho. Ha ha.

364
00:18:37,089 --> 00:18:40,389
There, your face is done.

365
00:18:40,455 --> 00:18:42,589
And these are the only
cheeks I'm doin'.

366
00:18:47,589 --> 00:18:49,822
Aww, there's my
little theater moss.

367
00:18:49,889 --> 00:18:52,189
Oh, Obie, I wasn't
sure you'd come.

368
00:18:52,255 --> 00:18:54,889
Oh, I wasn't sure either,
but I figured since you

369
00:18:54,955 --> 00:18:57,455
gonna be topless, you might
need a little extra support.

370
00:18:58,789 --> 00:19:00,762
Thank you. They're beautiful.

371
00:19:00,829 --> 00:19:04,029
Yep. You can either put 'em
in a vase or wear them.

372
00:19:05,762 --> 00:19:07,395
Pretty much your choice.

373
00:19:07,462 --> 00:19:09,595
Synclaire, this is nothing
like a nude beach

374
00:19:09,662 --> 00:19:11,762
even I couldn't do this.
Good luck.

375
00:19:12,895 --> 00:19:15,095
You know, I'm really
proud of you.

376
00:19:15,162 --> 00:19:18,429
You are really showing
me what you're made of.

377
00:19:18,495 --> 00:19:21,062
'Course, you're showing
that crowd out there too.

378
00:19:22,595 --> 00:19:25,529
But, you know, rock on
with your bad self.

379
00:19:28,462 --> 00:19:31,962
Synclaire, Synclaire,
when I tread the boards

380
00:19:32,029 --> 00:19:33,662
while I was in college

381
00:19:33,729 --> 00:19:36,029
I had the occasional
bout of stage fright.

382
00:19:36,095 --> 00:19:39,495
So, I'd just imagine the
audience in their underwear.

383
00:19:39,562 --> 00:19:42,362
However, in this case, maybe
you should imagine yourself

384
00:19:42,429 --> 00:19:44,262
in your underwear.

385
00:19:44,329 --> 00:19:46,262
Anyway, break a leg. Alright?

386
00:19:46,329 --> 00:19:47,862
Okay.

387
00:19:47,929 --> 00:19:51,862
Okay, everybody, places.
Curtain in five minutes.

388
00:19:51,929 --> 00:19:53,995
I am so stoked!

389
00:19:56,829 --> 00:19:58,695
Hey, you okay, my
little showstopper?

390
00:19:58,762 --> 00:20:00,702
I'm so nervous, I'm shaking.

391
00:20:00,769 --> 00:20:02,969
Oh, well. Don't shake too much.

392
00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:06,669
You are here to inform and entertain.
Not titillate.

393
00:20:11,035 --> 00:20:13,335
When my camera is disposable..

394
00:20:14,469 --> 00:20:16,569
What will ever develop?

395
00:20:19,169 --> 00:20:21,569
You know, actually, Vincent

396
00:20:21,635 --> 00:20:23,835
this is a fascinating
examination

397
00:20:23,902 --> 00:20:26,069
of societal values.

398
00:20:26,135 --> 00:20:28,569
You know, I disagree,
treacherous one.

399
00:20:28,635 --> 00:20:30,769
This is nothing we
haven't seen before.

400
00:20:32,902 --> 00:20:35,502
I think Synclaire's big
moment is comin' up.

401
00:20:35,569 --> 00:20:37,002
Shorty, look away.

402
00:20:39,202 --> 00:20:40,702
As agreed.

403
00:20:41,869 --> 00:20:43,135
[panting]

404
00:20:43,202 --> 00:20:44,235
No!

405
00:20:44,302 --> 00:20:47,135
No funds available?

406
00:20:47,202 --> 00:20:49,802
I'm zeroed out.

407
00:20:49,869 --> 00:20:52,435
I have nothing.

408
00:20:52,502 --> 00:20:54,635
Therefore, I am nothing.

409
00:20:59,669 --> 00:21:02,842
Alright, you guys
lead, I'll follow.

410
00:21:07,075 --> 00:21:09,775
(Synclaire) Greed strips us of everything.
More ATMs inside.

411
00:21:09,842 --> 00:21:11,042
[camera clicking]

412
00:21:14,509 --> 00:21:17,175
Was that Synclaire?

413
00:21:17,242 --> 00:21:19,342
I just recognized her voice.

414
00:21:20,842 --> 00:21:22,842
I didn't know she
could run that fast.

415
00:21:23,942 --> 00:21:26,809
(Synclaire) 'More ATMs inside.'

416
00:21:27,575 --> 00:21:32,285
We should all go... inside.

417
00:21:34,418 --> 00:21:35,485
[applause]

418
00:21:35,552 --> 00:21:37,452
Is it over?

419
00:21:37,518 --> 00:21:39,118
I believe so.

420
00:21:39,785 --> 00:21:41,318
Oh, bravo!

421
00:21:42,852 --> 00:21:43,852
Delightful!

422
00:21:44,918 --> 00:21:46,118
Delightful!

423
00:21:47,552 --> 00:21:48,752
[applause continues]

424
00:21:53,718 --> 00:21:55,885
[instrumental music]

425
00:22:11,958 --> 00:22:14,225
[music continues]
