00:00:04,308 --> 00:00:07,438
I can't believe you got us
into this album launch party!

2
00:00:07,529 --> 00:00:09,919
Oh, well, Mona gets invited
to these things all the ti...

3
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:12,230
But I never go.

4
00:00:12,316 --> 00:00:14,406
I haven't had
time to do anything

5
00:00:14,492 --> 00:00:16,022
since the talent
search heated up.

6
00:00:16,103 --> 00:00:18,023
Oh, relax. I know
you go out all the time.

7
00:00:18,105 --> 00:00:20,715
I read it in your journal.

8
00:00:20,803 --> 00:00:25,333
Then I guess you know how I feel
about you wearing stretch pants.

9
00:00:25,416 --> 00:00:27,546
Yeah. I tore out that page.

10
00:00:27,636 --> 00:00:29,246
So what's up with
the talent search?

11
00:00:29,333 --> 00:00:32,823
You walked in on me before
I could read about that part.

12
00:00:32,902 --> 00:00:34,582
We're announcing
the 5 finalists on Friday,

13
00:00:34,643 --> 00:00:36,933
and it's gonna be covered by a
bunch of different news outlets,

14
00:00:36,949 --> 00:00:39,389
and did I mention this
whole thing was my idea?

15
00:00:39,474 --> 00:00:42,694
6 times today. But
I'm still proud of you.

16
00:00:42,781 --> 00:00:44,001
Oh, me, too.

17
00:00:44,087 --> 00:00:45,997
Now in next year's
Christmas newsletter,

18
00:00:46,089 --> 00:00:49,959
I only have to lie
about your love life.

19
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:51,920
Oh, I can only stay
for a couple of songs.

20
00:00:52,008 --> 00:00:53,228
My mom's got a big meeting

21
00:00:53,314 --> 00:00:55,534
with her old acting
agent tomorrow.

22
00:00:55,620 --> 00:00:58,320
Your mom's going
back into show business?

23
00:00:58,406 --> 00:01:01,276
Yep. She's decided it's the
answer to her mid-life crisis.

24
00:01:01,365 --> 00:01:05,015
So I have to sew her
into her audition pants.

25
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:07,680
So what is big
girl goin' out for?

26
00:01:07,763 --> 00:01:11,553

of the 50 foot woman?

for my house warming party.

The music will be retro,

42
00:02:00,032 --> 00:02:03,432
and the food will
be all about bacon.

43
00:02:03,514 --> 00:02:04,734
You got a new house?

No, but if you say
that, you get presents.

45
00:02:06,909 --> 00:02:09,299
I'm registered at
pottery barn, China barn,

46
00:02:09,390 --> 00:02:11,650
and international male.

47
00:02:12,871 --> 00:02:14,401
This is what you
wanted to show me?

48
00:02:14,482 --> 00:02:16,352
Oh, that. Oh,
yeah. You got a fax.

49
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,100
Some article about
the talent search.

50
00:02:19,182 --> 00:02:21,232
Wow! Billboard
actually covered us!

51
00:02:21,315 --> 00:02:24,405
See? Here's a picture of the
roomful of tape submissions

52
00:02:24,492 --> 00:02:26,192
we got from all across america

53
00:02:26,276 --> 00:02:28,836
and that one lone tape
from American Samoa.

54
00:02:28,931 --> 00:02:32,331
Not everybody looks
like the rock, apparently.

55
00:02:32,413 --> 00:02:34,373
Damn, Mona, if this
thing gets any bigger,

56
00:02:34,458 --> 00:02:35,758
you'll be telling me what to do!

57
00:02:35,851 --> 00:02:37,241
I already tell you what to do.

58
00:02:37,331 --> 00:02:38,981
Yeah, but... Then I'd do it.

59

Hey, guys.

60

What are you reading?

61
00:02:44,729 --> 00:02:46,399
Our talent search got
a write-up in billboard.

62
00:02:46,427 --> 00:02:48,037
Ooh! Let me see it.

63
00:02:48,124 --> 00:02:50,364
Can we tone down the grabbiness?
My guest list's on the back.

64
00:02:50,387 --> 00:02:52,387
It just says Ricky
Martin 12 times.

65
00:02:52,476 --> 00:02:54,606
I think you can remember that.

66
00:02:54,696 --> 00:02:56,866
Mona, where's your name?

67
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:00,049
It's not about me. It's
about the talent search.

68
00:03:00,136 --> 00:03:01,266
They mention Kai.

69

Hey, press is press.

70
00:03:02,834 --> 00:03:05,754
Don't you think that's
odd since it was your idea?

71
00:03:05,837 --> 00:03:08,007
Well, there's probably
a perfectly good reason.

72
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:09,580
Well, I wanna know
what's going on.

73

Hey, now you know how I feel.

75
00:03:13,628 --> 00:03:15,628
I never got credit
for my great idea.

76
00:03:15,717 --> 00:03:17,547
Oh, that's 'cause
we're still waiting for it.

77

her on a leash.

Nice to see you
again. How's it going?

81
00:03:28,730 --> 00:03:31,300
Do you work for me?

82

Oh, Kai, you kidder!

83
00:03:32,908 --> 00:03:34,258
I just wanted to say

84
00:03:34,344 --> 00:03:36,004
congratulations on
the talent search.

85
00:03:36,085 --> 00:03:38,215
Mona really came up
with a great idea, huh?

86
00:03:38,305 --> 00:03:39,645
Yeah, she did.

87
00:03:39,741 --> 00:03:40,831

smoothie, will ya?

And don't mess it up.

90
00:03:47,096 --> 00:03:49,356
Well, you'll be happy to know
I spoke with Kai about you,

91
00:03:49,446 --> 00:03:51,616
and now I'm sure it
was just an oversight

92
00:03:51,709 --> 00:03:52,949
that you were left
out of the article.

93
00:03:52,971 --> 00:03:54,891
That's what I figured.
So can we go now?

94
00:03:54,973 --> 00:03:56,803
Sure. Oh, one more thing.

95
00:03:56,888 --> 00:03:58,928
Kai wants you to get
her a fiber smoothie.

96

00:07:16,218 --> 00:07:18,528
You're actually making
meuncomfortable.

177
00:07:19,917 --> 00:07:21,267
So, Mona,

178
00:07:21,353 --> 00:07:22,553
you thought about
what you gonna say?

179
00:07:22,572 --> 00:07:23,402
'Cause I've noticed
after interviews,

180
00:07:23,486 --> 00:07:24,876
you tend to get fired.

181
00:07:26,010 --> 00:07:28,010
That was onetime!

182
00:07:28,099 --> 00:07:29,669
But, yes. I am prepared.

183
00:07:29,753 --> 00:07:31,233
Here is my sound bite...

184
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,580
"hey, I'm just in this crazy
business 'cause I love it.

185
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:36,410
For me, it's all
about the music."

186
00:07:36,499 --> 00:07:38,369
Perfect. It's vague-alicious.

187
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:40,718
[Giggles]

188
00:07:40,808 --> 00:07:41,898
There's quddus.

189
00:07:41,983 --> 00:07:42,983
Wish me luck.

190
00:07:43,071 --> 00:07:44,591
You don't need it. You're ready.

191
00:07:44,681 --> 00:07:46,731
There is the woman
I came to see...

192
00:07:46,814 --> 00:07:49,084
Kai Owens!

193
00:07:50,208 --> 00:07:51,948
Quddus! What's up?

194
00:07:52,036 --> 00:07:53,446
How you been? I didn't
see you at the vmas.

195
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,213
Oh, I was there.

196
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:57,320
You were too busy in the back
with the half-naked dancer...

197
00:07:57,346 --> 00:07:58,886
Whoa, whoa. I just
getting an interview.

198
00:07:58,913 --> 00:08:01,573
And the kissing part was
just to show my appreciation.

199
00:08:01,655 --> 00:08:03,605
Right.

200
00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:05,460
So you gonna give me a
heads-up on these 5 finalists?

201
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:08,225
Sorry, q, you gotta wait till
Friday when we announce it.

202
00:08:08,313 --> 00:08:09,973
Mm. You always keep me waiting.

203
00:08:10,054 --> 00:08:11,674
And you know you love it.

204
00:08:11,752 --> 00:08:13,512
You been talking to
that dancer, haven't you?

205
00:08:13,536 --> 00:08:16,016
Yeah. Good times.

206
00:08:16,104 --> 00:08:19,154
So, Kai... You gonna
give me the details

207
00:08:19,237 --> 00:08:20,607
on how you came up
with this talent search?

208
00:08:20,630 --> 00:08:21,720
It's really blowing up.

209
00:08:21,805 --> 00:08:23,415
Yeah. Well, come
on into my office.

210
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:25,183
I'll tell you everything you
need to know. Oh, Mona.

211
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,900
Yes!

212
00:08:26,984 --> 00:08:28,404
The camera guy is gonna
need a place for his equipment.

213
00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:30,950
Can you help him
carry it into your office?

214
00:08:31,032 --> 00:08:34,512
Ok! I mean, that's why
I'm in this crazy business.

215
00:08:34,601 --> 00:08:37,651
It's all about the music.

216
00:08:38,561 --> 00:08:40,171
No one's listening, are they?

217
00:08:41,999 --> 00:08:43,999
I know I'm not.

218
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:53,139
I can't believe Kai cut
you out of that interview.

219
00:08:53,228 --> 00:08:55,058
Yeah. You must be mad.

220
00:08:55,143 --> 00:08:57,803
Please. I haven't
given it another thought.

221
00:08:57,885 --> 00:09:00,665
It's just that I wasn't even
mentioned in the article,

222
00:09:00,757 --> 00:09:03,017
and I kinda figured I would be.

223
00:09:03,107 --> 00:09:05,107
But... I'm ok.

224
00:09:05,196 --> 00:09:06,546
It's just that...

225
00:09:06,633 --> 00:09:08,463
I'm the one who booked quddus,

226
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:11,118
so you'd think that I would be
interviewed too, but whatever.

227
00:09:12,029 --> 00:09:15,419
It's just that this whole
contest was my idea

228
00:09:15,511 --> 00:09:17,011
and I'm happy to
do all the extra work,

229
00:09:17,034 --> 00:09:18,274
but shouldn't I get
some of the credit?

230
00:09:18,296 --> 00:09:19,686
Damn straight, I should!

231
00:09:20,777 --> 00:09:23,907
Now, that's the
bitterness I raised you with.

232
00:09:23,998 --> 00:09:26,568
When someone at work doesn't
give me the credit I deserve,

233
00:09:26,653 --> 00:09:28,183
I just take the high road.

234
00:09:28,263 --> 00:09:30,963
I Jack their lunch right
out of the refrigerator.

235
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:34,050
What I wanna know

236
00:09:34,138 --> 00:09:36,398
is why didn't you demand
to be a part of that interview?

237
00:09:36,488 --> 00:09:37,838
Well, I assumed that Kai...

238
00:09:37,925 --> 00:09:39,135
See, that's your problem.

239
00:09:39,230 --> 00:09:41,020
People aren't gonna
just hand you credit.

240
00:09:41,102 --> 00:09:43,232
If you want it, you have
to reach out and snatch it.

241
00:09:43,321 --> 00:09:45,541
Take that bull by the
horns, throw it on its head,

242
00:09:45,628 --> 00:09:47,278
grab it by... ma!

243
00:09:48,152 --> 00:09:49,892
Am I right or am I right?

244
00:09:49,980 --> 00:09:52,330
I have to say for the first
time I agree with Phyllis.

245
00:09:52,417 --> 00:09:53,767
Thank you!

246
00:09:53,854 --> 00:09:56,204
What do you mean,
for the first time?

247
00:09:56,291 --> 00:09:57,811
Bull metaphor aside,

248
00:09:57,901 --> 00:09:59,381
what your mother
is trying to say

249
00:09:59,468 --> 00:10:01,298
is you need to
toot your own horn.

250
00:10:01,383 --> 00:10:04,303
I've never been
much of a horn tooter.

251
00:10:04,386 --> 00:10:06,386
I know!

252
00:10:06,475 --> 00:10:08,515
You've lived your whole
life under the radar.

253
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:10,628
But now's your chance to
really make a name for yourself.

254
00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:13,963
Exactly! You've gotta
take what's rightfully yours.

255
00:10:14,048 --> 00:10:15,618
Or you could try it my way.

256
00:10:15,702 --> 00:10:17,052
I'm telling you,

257
00:10:17,138 --> 00:10:19,228
Kai always leaves
tri-tip in the fridge.

258
00:10:22,578 --> 00:10:24,838
Thanks for inviting
me to your shoot, mom.

259
00:10:24,928 --> 00:10:26,628
I can't wait to
see you in action.

260
00:10:26,713 --> 00:10:28,073
[Chuckles] That's
very sweet, dear,

261
00:10:28,149 --> 00:10:29,409
but you're not here to watch.

262
00:10:29,498 --> 00:10:30,978
You're here to be my assistant.

263
00:10:31,065 --> 00:10:33,495
Now, carry my bag and
walk 10 paces behind me.

264
00:10:35,809 --> 00:10:38,329
Excuse me. I'm
Dee Dee lafontaine.

265
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:40,250
The talent.

266
00:10:40,335 --> 00:10:43,115
Uh, yeah, I don't see your name.

267
00:10:43,207 --> 00:10:46,337
Try coco lafontaine.

268
00:10:47,081 --> 00:10:50,521
Oh, yeah, the dog.

269
00:10:50,606 --> 00:10:52,166
Uh, listen, we're gonna need you

270
00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:54,650
to bring her over to wardrobe.

271
00:10:54,741 --> 00:10:56,871
You need anything?

272
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,440
Some water?

273
00:10:58,527 --> 00:10:59,957
Oh, that would be lovely.

274
00:11:00,050 --> 00:11:01,660
It's kind of hot, you know.

275
00:11:01,748 --> 00:11:03,358
The tap's over there.

276
00:11:10,626 --> 00:11:12,236
Ok, when you hear "action,"

277
00:11:12,323 --> 00:11:14,063
you're walking, you're walking,

278
00:11:14,151 --> 00:11:15,151
you stop on the Mark,

279
00:11:15,239 --> 00:11:16,549
you put the kibble nibbles down.

280
00:11:16,632 --> 00:11:18,812
Coco eats, and
we're out. Got it?

281
00:11:18,895 --> 00:11:19,765
Of course. I'm a professional...

282
00:11:19,853 --> 00:11:21,513
Great. Here we go!

283
00:11:23,595 --> 00:11:26,155
Director: Ok, ready, and action!

284
00:11:34,215 --> 00:11:35,215
Cut!

285
00:11:45,835 --> 00:11:46,835
Cut!

286
00:11:56,106 --> 00:11:57,106
Cut.

287
00:11:57,194 --> 00:11:59,154
What? That was perfect.

288
00:12:01,155 --> 00:12:03,235
So could you fax Ms.
Owens a list of venues

289
00:12:03,331 --> 00:12:04,681
that fit that criteria?

290
00:12:04,767 --> 00:12:07,337
Oh, and send a separate
list of leather boy bars

291
00:12:07,422 --> 00:12:08,902
with valet parking.

292
00:12:08,989 --> 00:12:10,819
Yeah. Address that one to me.

293
00:12:10,904 --> 00:12:13,474
What does Kai need a venue for?

294
00:12:13,558 --> 00:12:15,148
Oh, it's for the
showcase for the finalists.

295
00:12:15,169 --> 00:12:16,429
Showcase?

296
00:12:16,518 --> 00:12:17,798
Since when is there
going to be a showcase?

297
00:12:17,824 --> 00:12:18,874
Since Kai said,

298
00:12:18,955 --> 00:12:20,275
"there is going to
be a showcase."

299
00:12:20,304 --> 00:12:21,744
[Telephone rings]

300
00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:24,048
Delicious records.

301
00:12:24,134 --> 00:12:25,664
[Gasps] Oh, CNN.

302
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:27,485
Yeah, well, all
interview requests

303
00:12:27,572 --> 00:12:29,232
go directly through Kai Owens...

304
00:12:29,313 --> 00:12:30,973
CNN? I'll take that one.

305
00:12:31,054 --> 00:12:33,494
Mona Thorne. You were
calling for an interview?

306
00:12:33,578 --> 00:12:36,488
Well, I'm the one that
you want to talk to.

307
00:12:36,581 --> 00:12:39,151
I just think a caring dog owner

308
00:12:39,236 --> 00:12:43,366
would smell the food
before giving it to her pet.

309
00:12:44,328 --> 00:12:45,718
Psst! Hey.

310
00:12:45,808 --> 00:12:46,898
Thank goodness.

311
00:12:46,983 --> 00:12:48,593
People, this is my agent,

312
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,120
and he will explain to you

313
00:12:50,204 --> 00:12:52,294
how a professional
actress should be treated.

314
00:12:52,380 --> 00:12:54,030
I'm so glad you're here, Louie.

315
00:12:54,121 --> 00:12:55,601
Shh! Don't say my name too loud.

316
00:12:55,687 --> 00:12:58,337
I owe some of
these people money.

317
00:12:58,429 --> 00:12:59,519
What a nightmare.

318
00:12:59,604 --> 00:13:01,134
They said I was an idiot.

319
00:13:01,215 --> 00:13:03,015
And no one's called me that
since I played Helen Keller

320
00:13:03,043 --> 00:13:05,263
in the miracle worker.

321
00:13:05,349 --> 00:13:07,609
Listen, the producers
called me down,

322
00:13:07,699 --> 00:13:08,919
in the middle of my yoga.

323
00:13:09,005 --> 00:13:12,655
You'd be surprised
how limber I am.

324
00:13:12,748 --> 00:13:14,748
They're upset with
your improvising, Dee.

325
00:13:14,837 --> 00:13:16,877
Well, forgive me
for being an artist.

326
00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:19,020
They want to fire you.

327
00:13:19,102 --> 00:13:20,102
Oh, no.

328
00:13:20,147 --> 00:13:22,317
I've become a problem actress.

329
00:13:22,410 --> 00:13:25,940
This is gonna be a dark
chapter in my autobiography.

330
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:28,422
Come on, Dee, it's a
dog food commercial.

331
00:13:28,503 --> 00:13:31,903
Do the job, let's
cash the check.

332
00:13:31,985 --> 00:13:33,155
I'm sorry, Louie.

333
00:13:33,247 --> 00:13:34,677
I got carried away.

334
00:13:34,770 --> 00:13:36,690
That's all right. I
love your passion.

335
00:13:36,772 --> 00:13:38,732
Reminds me of
when I had passion,

336
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:41,728
and a functioning liver.

337
00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:43,561
Now get back out there

338
00:13:43,648 --> 00:13:45,998
and sell that dog slop.

339
00:13:48,131 --> 00:13:50,311
I appreciate you
coming down, Louie.

340
00:13:50,394 --> 00:13:52,014
I just don't want to see my mom

341
00:13:52,092 --> 00:13:53,402
derail her own dreams.

342
00:13:53,484 --> 00:13:55,924
I don't want to see her
derail my car payment.

343
00:13:57,401 --> 00:13:59,361
Oh, and thanks
for not telling her

344
00:13:59,447 --> 00:14:00,947
that I'm the one who
really called you down here.

345
00:14:00,970 --> 00:14:02,360
No problem.

346
00:14:02,450 --> 00:14:04,760
Must have been hard to
see your mom so humiliated.

347
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:07,724
Plus I thought the
crew was gonna kill her.

348
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:17,856
Ok, one more thing,

349
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:19,160
do you like me to call you Mona

350
00:14:19,249 --> 00:14:20,359
or Ms. Thorne
during the interview?

351
00:14:20,381 --> 00:14:21,561
I'll answer to "hey, you."

352
00:14:21,643 --> 00:14:23,083
I'm just so excited to do this.

353
00:14:23,166 --> 00:14:24,466
Well, CNN's excited, too.

354
00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:25,709
We've been trying
to get an interview

355
00:14:25,734 --> 00:14:26,844
with someone at
delicious for weeks.

356
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:28,146
Well, looks like
you finally spoke

357
00:14:28,171 --> 00:14:29,691
to the right person.

358
00:14:29,781 --> 00:14:31,371
And you know what?
Let's just keep this informal,

359
00:14:31,392 --> 00:14:32,962
so call me Ms. Thorne.

360
00:14:33,046 --> 00:14:34,346
Ms. Thorne it is.

361
00:14:34,438 --> 00:14:35,498
Go ahead and take a
seat and we'll get started.

362
00:14:35,526 --> 00:14:37,746
Ok. Wow.

363
00:14:37,833 --> 00:14:39,493
This interview's the big time.

364
00:14:39,574 --> 00:14:41,374
So what does Kai think
about this whole thing?

365
00:14:41,445 --> 00:14:42,745
I don't have to tell Kai.

366
00:14:42,838 --> 00:14:44,098
She doesn't tell me anything.

367
00:14:44,187 --> 00:14:45,357
She can watch it on CNN.

368
00:14:45,449 --> 00:14:47,189
Oh, maybe I'll be
on after crossfire.

369
00:14:49,236 --> 00:14:51,016
Ok, people, let's do this.

370
00:14:59,724 --> 00:15:01,994
Where are your clothes?

371
00:15:02,075 --> 00:15:03,505
Whoa.

372
00:15:03,598 --> 00:15:05,168
Mona, we are on a schedule.

373
00:15:05,252 --> 00:15:07,172
Now let's go. I have a
lot of questions to ask.

374
00:15:07,254 --> 00:15:08,734
Roll it.

375
00:15:08,820 --> 00:15:09,820
So do I.

376
00:15:09,865 --> 00:15:10,735
Aren't you guys CNN?

377
00:15:10,822 --> 00:15:12,562
Yeah. Cable naked news.

378
00:15:14,261 --> 00:15:15,391
What?!

379
00:15:15,479 --> 00:15:16,789
I thought I recognized you.

380
00:15:16,872 --> 00:15:18,612
Man, I watch your
show all the time.

381
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:21,620
Well, I really watch
it for the weather girl.

382
00:15:21,703 --> 00:15:22,883
Is she coming?

383
00:15:25,185 --> 00:15:28,135
What the hell is going on here?

384
00:15:28,231 --> 00:15:30,361
Well, we're trying to
conduct an interview.

385
00:15:30,451 --> 00:15:31,841
Well, change in plans.

386
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:34,671
Get your naked
butt up out of here.

387
00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:36,329
But we're all set up.

388
00:15:36,413 --> 00:15:39,763
And I'll be happy to answer
any questions you might have.

389
00:15:40,722 --> 00:15:41,772
Everybody out!

390
00:15:41,853 --> 00:15:43,553
You, I'll deal with later.

391
00:15:43,638 --> 00:15:45,208
And for once I actually miss

392
00:15:45,292 --> 00:15:46,682
your ridiculous outfits.

393
00:15:54,779 --> 00:15:55,909
Well?

394
00:15:55,998 --> 00:15:59,958
See, uh, what happened was...

395
00:16:00,046 --> 00:16:03,006
Sorry. Forgot my socks.

396
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,010
Ok.

397
00:16:06,095 --> 00:16:07,745
Forgetting about
the naked white guy,

398
00:16:07,836 --> 00:16:09,706
'cause lord knows I'm trying to,

399
00:16:09,794 --> 00:16:13,194
what are you doing giving
an interview without telling me?

400
00:16:13,276 --> 00:16:15,366
Well, since you've been
doing all the interviews

401
00:16:15,452 --> 00:16:16,582
for the talent search,

402
00:16:16,671 --> 00:16:18,151
I just thought I would, um,

403
00:16:18,238 --> 00:16:19,848
take one off your hands.

404
00:16:19,935 --> 00:16:21,105
Really?

405
00:16:21,197 --> 00:16:22,547
Or could it be you did all this

406
00:16:22,633 --> 00:16:24,593
'cause you're pissed
you didn't get the credit?

407
00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:27,769
That is an interesting theory.

408
00:16:27,856 --> 00:16:29,336
Here's another...

409
00:16:29,423 --> 00:16:31,103
You think if you don't
grab the credit for yourself,

410
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,340
you'll never get it.

411
00:16:32,426 --> 00:16:34,036
Did Spencer tell you that?

412
00:16:34,123 --> 00:16:36,823
Please. He's too busy
trying to steal my tri-tip.

413
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:39,817
Nothing gets by you, does it?

414
00:16:39,911 --> 00:16:43,001
Look, I know working at
this level is new to you,

415
00:16:43,089 --> 00:16:45,609
and maybe I could
have been more sensitive

416
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:48,920
and talked to you about what
you were going through, right?

417
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:50,098
Nah!

418
00:16:50,183 --> 00:16:52,663
Here's the thing...

419
00:16:52,750 --> 00:16:54,540
If your idea is a success,

420
00:16:54,622 --> 00:16:55,712
and so far it has been,

421
00:16:55,797 --> 00:16:57,227
yeah, I get the credit.

422
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,800
But let's say it turns
into a flaming ball of crap.

423
00:17:00,889 --> 00:17:02,979
Guess who gets the blame?

424
00:17:03,065 --> 00:17:04,065
Um, you.

425
00:17:04,110 --> 00:17:05,200
Yes.

426
00:17:05,285 --> 00:17:06,895
That's how I look
out for my label

427
00:17:06,982 --> 00:17:07,852
and my people.

428
00:17:07,939 --> 00:17:09,549
I'm sorry, Kai.

429
00:17:09,637 --> 00:17:11,507
I guess I just got caught up

430
00:17:11,595 --> 00:17:12,505
in the idea of the glory,

431
00:17:12,596 --> 00:17:13,986
but that's not why I came up

432
00:17:14,076 --> 00:17:15,856
with the idea for
the talent search.

433
00:17:15,947 --> 00:17:17,207
That was my job.

434
00:17:17,297 --> 00:17:19,337
And for now, doing your job well

435
00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:21,339
is gonna have to be enough.

436
00:17:21,431 --> 00:17:23,351
Got it.

437
00:17:23,433 --> 00:17:26,313
And next time, if
you're having a problem,

438
00:17:26,393 --> 00:17:27,313
would you come talk to me

439
00:17:27,394 --> 00:17:28,834
because when you don't,

440
00:17:28,917 --> 00:17:31,267
you wind up with some
guy's hairy ass on your chair.

441
00:17:32,225 --> 00:17:36,185
And I'm not paying
to get that sanitized.

442
00:17:40,972 --> 00:17:42,932
And we are just a
few moments away

443
00:17:43,018 --> 00:17:44,738
from our very first
look at the 5 finalists.

444
00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:47,539
Kai, you just make sure I get
an exclusive with the winner, ok?

445
00:17:47,631 --> 00:17:49,021
What do I get in exchange?

446
00:17:49,111 --> 00:17:52,161
Come on, now, you're
already on mtv with me, baby.

447
00:17:53,637 --> 00:17:55,217
All right, america,
one of these next artists

448
00:17:55,248 --> 00:17:57,118
could really break
out. Kai, you ready?

449
00:17:57,206 --> 00:17:58,946
Wait. First I want to
introduce someone

450
00:17:59,034 --> 00:18:01,694
who's been a key player
in this nationwide search.

451
00:18:01,776 --> 00:18:03,296
Mona Thorne, get up here.

452
00:18:03,386 --> 00:18:05,036
[Applause]

453
00:18:05,127 --> 00:18:07,697
Whoo!

454
00:18:08,348 --> 00:18:11,528
Mona, you want to do the honors?

455
00:18:11,612 --> 00:18:13,702
So the...

456
00:18:14,876 --> 00:18:16,876
First...

457
00:18:16,965 --> 00:18:17,965
Mona?

458
00:18:18,053 --> 00:18:20,623
She knows it's live, right?

459
00:18:20,708 --> 00:18:23,098
I guess I'll do the honors.

460
00:18:23,189 --> 00:18:25,189
We're looking forward to working

461
00:18:25,278 --> 00:18:27,448
