All language subtitles for Childstar (2004) 1080p AMZN W

UHH.. HI.

NICE TO SEE SO MANY
FAMILIAR FACES.

IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN
THE INDUSTRY.

UHH...

ACTUALLY, I'M A LITTLE
NERVOUS TO SHOW YOU THIS FILM.

SOME OF YOU MIGHT FIND
IT A LITTLE UPSETTING.

MAYBE I SHOULD SAY A FEW WORDS
ABOUT WHERE THE IDEA CAME FROM,

AND WHY I THOUGHT IT WAS
SOMETHING I HAD TO DO.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

I HATE THOSE DIRECTORS
WHO DRONE ON AND ON

INTRODUCING THEIR FILMS,

SUCKING ALL THE
LIFE OUT OF THE ROOM

AND I PROMISED MYSELF
I WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

BUT MAYBE IN THIS CASE...

STORY GOES LIKE THIS.

SUMMER CAMP.

JEFFERSON GLENN.
SMALL FOR HIS AGE.

BLOWS UP A LATRINE TO
GET BACK AT THE BULLIES.

SMART KID.
FUNNY, BIT OF A TROUBLEMAKER,

TRYING TO GET HIS
DAD'S ATTENTION.

REGULAR KID.
EXCEPT FOR ONE THING,

HIS DAD IS PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.

GOOD MAN. HONEST.
TRYING TO BE A GOOD DAD.

YOU KNOW, A DEMOCRAT.

RECENTLY WIDOWED.
WORKAHOLIC.

BURYING HIS PAIN UNDER HIS JOB.

THEN, BANG! BANG! BANG!

PERFECT ORCHESTRATION.
CODE RED.

HE'S A HOSTAGE.

THE KID COMES HOME TO
THE WHITE HOUSE PISSED OFF

CUZ THERE'S NO
ONE THERE TO GREET HIM.

FINDS OUT TERRORISTS HAVE
TAKEN OVER AIR FORCE ONE.

WHAT KIND
OF TERRORISTS?

EUROPEAN.
EUROPEAN TERRORISTS.

ARE THEY FUNNY TERRORISTS?

NO, NO.
THEY'RE SCARY.

THEY'RE TERRORISTS.

THE SCRIPT IS
RESPECTFUL OF THAT.

THEY DO HAVE THEIR QUIRKY SIDE.

GO ON.

SO... NO ONE GETS INTO THE
WHITE HOUSE THE PERIMETER IS
SEALED.

AND THE PRESS SECRETARY
ADVISES NOT TO TELL THE PEOPLE.

THEY DON'T WANT PANIC.

SO IT'S UP TO THE
KID TO GROW UP FAST.

DO THE PRESIDENT'S JOB.
WIN THE TRUST OF THE STAFF.

USE HIS SKILLS WITH VIDEO GAMES
AND HOMEMADE EXPLOSIVES

TO PILOT AN F-16, KNOCK
OFF THE BAD GUYS.

ONE, TWO, THREE, INCLUDING
THE PRESS SECRETARY,

WHO TURNS OUT TO BE A TRAITOR.

SECURE WORLD PEACE,
AND HOOK HIS DAD UP

WITH HIS NATIONAL
SECURITY ADVISOR.

HIS SEXY NATIONAL
SECURITY ADVISOR,

WHO PROVES IN THE CRUNCH,

THAT SHE JUST MIGHT HAVE WHAT IT
TAKES TO BE THE NEW FIRST LADY.

WELL.

THAT WAS FULL OF
TWISTS AND TURNS.

PROS AND CONS.

IT'S HILARIOUS.

IT'S PATRIOTIC AS SHIT.

IT SHOOTS IN CANADA.

LET'S STICK WITH
THE PROS FOR NOW.

IT MAY NOT BE STRICTLY A PRO
FOR TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS,

BUT FOR THOSE OF
US IN PUBLICITY,

WE'RE A LITTLE TUCKERED OUT.

WE WOULDN'T MIND SENDING HIM
SOMEWHERE NICE AND QUIET.

ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT
THAT IS ALL WE HAVE?

KID'S A BIOLOGICAL TIME BOMB.

HIS VOICE COULD CRACK ANY DAY
NOW, AND THEN GOD HELP US.

BESIDES...THAT'S ALL WE HAVE.

WELL, THEN.

LET'S SEND THE KID TO CANADA.

BANJO, I SAID, THAT'S NOT
THE DOOR AND I WAS ONLY JOKING.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS
HAVE TO GO BREAK THINGS?

HACKER, I'M NOT MAD AT YOU
FOR BREAKING THE PLATE,

I'M MAD AT YOU FOR
BREAKING YOUR WORD.

SO, YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO PUT BANJO TO SLEEP?

WHAT? WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT
PUTTING BANJO TO SLEEP?

[PHONE RINGING]

HACKER, YOU WERE EAVESDROPPING!

I WANTED TO FIND OUT WHAT I
WAS GETTING FOR MY BIRTHDAY.

THEN I HEARD ALL THAT
STUFF YOU SAID ABOUT BANJO.

ALL I MEANT BY THAT WAS, I
WISH HE WOULD QUIT BARKING

SO I COULD GET SOME SLEEP.

AND YOU SHOULDN'T
BE EAVESDROPPING!

WE DON'T ALWAYS HEAR THINGS
CORRECTLY, WHEN WE DO THAT.

SO, I GUESS THAT MEANS THAT
YOU'RE NOT A TURKISH SPY EITHER.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHTER]

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I'M SORRY,
YOU'LL HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR
HEADPHONES FOR LANDING.

EXCUSE ME. YOUNG MAN.

I'M SORRY. AIR FLIGHT
REGULATIONS MAINTAIN

THAT ALL ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT HAS-ARE WE CRASHING?

OF COURSE NOT.

THEN FUCK OFF.

IF I NEED A SKY-WAITRESS, I'LL
PRESS THE LITTLE BUTTON, OKAY?

EXCUSE ME?YOU'RE EXCUSED.

EXCUSE ME.

ARE YOU WAITING FOR
TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS?

UH HUH.
TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS

TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS
FROM FAMILY DIFFERENCES?

THE WOMEN THREATENED MY KID
SO, YEAH, I WANT COMPENSATION.

I'LL TAKE 20,000
FREQUENT FLYER MILES

AND SOME UPGRADE
CERTIFICATES.

IS THAT ALRIGHT?

GOOD.

CAN'T BELIEVE THIS COUNTRY.
HONESTLY.

[SCREAMING]

HOW DID THEY KNOW
WE WERE COMING?

HI. YOU'RE NEW TO THIS,
AREN'T YOU?

RICK.
RICK SCHILLER.

NEW TO THE MOVIES,
HUH, RICK?

NO.

I'M NEW TO DRIVING
FOR THE MOVIES.

OH, YEAH?

WHAT DO YOU NORMALLY
DO, DIRECT?

YES, ACTUALLY.

ALRIGHT.

SORRY GIRLS.

ONCE AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE
ABOUT THE BIG SIGN.

I DIDN'T THINK IT
WOULD CAUSE SO MUCH...

HOLY SHIT!

[SCREAMING]

OKAY.. COME ON.

HEY, RICK.

NEXT TIME YOU GO TO PICK UP
A MOVIE STAR AT THE AIRPORT,

IT MIGHT BE A GOOD
IDEA TO PUT THE NAME

OF THE PRODUCTION
COMPANY ON THE SIGN.

THAT'S A GOOD TIP.

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT,

AS PRESIDENT OF THIS
GREAT NATION OF AMERICA,

I AM THE BOSS.

AND RAISING A NATION IS VERY
MUCH LIKE RAISING A FAMILY.

YOU NEED INFINITE PATIENCE.[CELL PHONE RINGS]

AND RAISING A NATION IS VERY
MUCH LIKE RAISING A FAMILY.

YOU NEED INFINITE PA-
DAMN IT, O'CONNER.

I'M TRYING TO GIVE A
PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS HERE.

I'M SORRY, SIR, BUT
IT'S CAMP DAVID.

YOUR SON'S COUNSELOR'S
ON THE LINE.

IT SEEMS HIS PRANKS
HAVE GONE TOO FAR.

GIVE ME THE DAMN PHONE!

REED, YOU HAVE
TO SAY SOMETHING.

JUST IMPROVISE SOMETHING.

I NEED SOMETHING
TO CUT ON.

PRESIDENT SPEAKING.

HEY, HE'S HERE.

OKAY, LET'S TAKE A BREAK.

IS THAT OKAY?CUT.

IT'S HARD TO IMPROVISE
TALKING ON A PHONE.

THERE'S NOBODY ON
THE OTHER END.I UNDERSTAND...
YOU WERE WONDERFUL.

IT'S JUST THIS WAY.

EVERYONE IS SUPER-PSYCHED
TO MEET YOU.

OH, MY STARS, HERE HE IS.
MR. BURNS.

TAYLOR, I'M PHILIP TEMPLEMAN.
I'M THE PRODUCER.

GREAT TO MEET YOU.PLEASURE'S MINE, PHIL.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I'LL JUST
INTRODUCE YOU TO THE GANG

AND THEN WE'LL GET
YOU TO WARDROBE,

AND WE'LL BE OUT OF HERE
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.
HOW'S THAT?

SOUNDS GOOD.

YOU KNOW TIM FROM
YOUR AGENCY?

HAVEN'T HAD THE PLEASURE.

HE'S EVEN MORE HANDSOME
IN PERSON, ISN'T HE TIM?

HE SURE IS, SURE IS.

THANKS PHIL. YOU'RE
HANDSOME YOURSELF.

HE'S A GOOD LIAR.
I LIKE THAT.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A
FUN SHOOT, I THINK.

SO, ARE YOU THIRSTY? PEPSI?PERRIER.

CAN WE GET WE A PERRIER?

A PERRIER FOR TAYLOR, PLEASE.

AND THIS IS OUR FIRST A.D....

WADE KEELER.WADE KEELER.

ALRIGHT, EVERYBODY.

EVERYBODY!

ATTENTION, PLEASE.

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT.

IT IS MY PLEASURE
AND MY PRIVILEGE

TO INTRODUCE TO YOU THE
STAR OF THE FIRST SON.

A DELIGHTFUL YOUNG MAN,
AND A TERRIFIC THESPIAN

WITH A LONG FUTURE
AHEAD OF HIM.

SO LET'S, PLEASE,
GIVE A NICE WELCOME

TO MR. TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS.

[APPLAUSE]THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU VERY
VERY MUCH.

SAVE IT FOR THE ACTING!

[LAUGHTER]

THANK YOU.

HE'LL TAKE THAT.

TAKE ME HOME NOW.

WHAT?

YOU'RE MY DRIVER, RIGHT?

WELL, TECHNICALLY
I THINK I'M THE KID'S.

OH, TAYLOR KNOWS ABOUT
THIS. HE'S COOL.

WE'LL PICK HIM UP
WHEN HE'S DONE.

COME ON, THIS IS GONNA
TAKE FOR FUCKIN' EVER.

TRUST ME.

THIS IS YOUR
STAND-IN, CORKY.NICE TO MEET YOU.

AND YOUR TUTOR, MR. BUDGE.

HOWDY, PARTNER.

HI.

NATASHA, HAIR.
NICOLE, MAKE-UP.

AND OF COURSE,
MR. REED HARRISON.

I UNDERSTAND WE
SHARE AN AGENT.

YEAH, RIGHT.

DO YOU KNOW
CHIP METZGER?

HEY.

HANDSHAKE!

SNAP IT! KNUCKLE IT.

CHEST BUMP. NICE!

LOOK, I HOOKED UP WITH SOME
SWEET LADIES THE OTHER NIGHT,

AND THEY'RE DYING TO MEET YOU
AND THEY'RE BIG FANS OF YOURS.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

NOW, DO YOU PARTY?

TAKE A GUESS.

I MEAN, DO YOU PARTY.

WEREN'T YOU IN
REHAB OR SOMETHING?

I WAS. THAT'S WHY I'M THINKING
YOU SHOULD KEEP MY STASH.

I LOVE THIS KID!

WE'RE ALL VERY EXCITED
TO HAVE HIM HERE, CHIP.

AND THIS IS SYDNEY MEHTA.

BUDDY, I'M A BIG FAN OF YOUR
WORK ON FAMILY DIFFERENCES.

AND YOU ARE?

I'M THE DIRECTOR.

YEAH, I JUST THOUGHT SOMEONE'S
SUPPOSED TO BE HERE

AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE
KID IS ON THE SET.

SOMEONE IS.

NO, I MEAN, LIKE
A LEGAL GUARDIAN.

LIKE A MOTHER.

FIRST DAY, I'M ALREADY
BREAKING THE RULES.

ALL MY LIFE I'VE BEEN AROUND
THOSE HORRIBLE STAGE MOTHERS:

GET IN EVERYONE'S FACE,

WAVE THAT FUCKIN' UNION
BOOK AROUND ALL THE TIME,

LEECH THE LIFE
OFF THE BACKS OF THEIR KIDS.

YOU'RE NOT ONE OF
THOSE KIND OF MOTHERS.

NO. I'M NOT.

WHAT KIND OF
MOTHER ARE YOU?

YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS.

YEAH. I THINK
IT LOOKS SPORTY.

O.K. WHEN YOU SAY SPORTY,
DO YOU MEAN GAY?

GENTLEMEN,
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

TAYLOR DOESN'T
LIKE HIS CLOTHES.

LOOK. I'VE GOT A
DEAL WITH HUGO BOSS.

WHY DON'T I GET THEM
TO SEND UP SOME STUFF.

IT'LL SAVE YOU MONEY
AND IT'LL SAVE ME FACE.

THAT'LL BE GREAT BUT...

THE THING IS, WE WANT THE
LOOK OF THIS CHARACTER

TO BE, WELL...
JUST A LITTLE YOUNGER.

THAT IS THE CONCERN.
ISN'T IT, SYDNEY?

YEAH.

SO, ALTHOUGH, WE'RE
ALL AWARE OF THE FACT

THAT YOU'RE QUITE
A STYLISH YOUNG MAN,

THE PART IS FOR A BOY.

I'D LIKE TO BRING YOUR
MOTHER IN ON THIS DISCUSSION.

BRING HER IN, SHE MIGHT
LOOK GOOD IN THESE CLOTHES.

SYDNEY, WHERE IS HIS MOTHER?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T-

TAYLOR. DO YOU KNOW
WHERE YOUR MOTHER IS?

THEY WANTED TO PUT
US UP IN A HOTEL.

A HOTEL IS NO
PLACE FOR A CHILD,

I DON'T CARE HOW FANCY IT IS.

TAYLOR'S GOING THROUGH
A ROUGH TIME, YOU KNOW.

HE'S FRAGILE.

HE'S STILL COMING TO TERMS
WITH HIS PARENTS' DIVORCE.

NO, I SAID.

I WANT A NICE HOUSE IN A
NICE NEIGHBOURHOOD, NO HOTEL.

THAT'S MY JOB, TO GIVE HIM
AS NORMAL A LIFE AS POSSIBLE.

I'LL PAY FOR IT
MYSELF IF I HAVE TO.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT I
TOLD THEM BUT, YOU KNOW.

ANYWAY I DIDN'T HAVE TO.

YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH A WOMAN
WHO'S FIGHTING FOR HER CHILD.

THE NEXT DAY I GET ALL THESE
BEAUTIFUL PICTURES OF HOUSES.

"TAKE YOUR PICK", THEY SAY.

SO, DOES THAT ANSWER
YOUR QUESTION?

WHAT QUESTION?

I'M THE KIND OF MOTHER
WHO DOES WHAT SHE WANTS.

WELL, IT ANSWERS THAT
QUESTION, RAISES OTHERS.

OH, MY GOD! THERE IT IS.
AW, IT'S SO PERFECT.

WHERE'S THE
A.D. OFFICE?

ATTENTION. I NEED A
20 ON TAYLOR'S MOTHER.

I REPEAT: WHERE IS THE MOTHER?

I THOUGHT SHE WAS WITH YOU.

LOOK. WHEN THE
KID IS ON SET

WE HAVE TO PLAY
BY THE RULES, ALL RIGHT?

I CANNOT AFFORD A FUCK UP.

SHE'S WITH HER DRIVER.WHICH DRIVER?

SOME DRIVER.

SOME DRIVER...

THE GUY WHO DROVE HER.

CALL TRANSPORT.

DID ANYBODY EVEN
SEE THIS DRIVER?

DO WE EVEN KNOW IF HE'S
ONE OF OUR DRIVERS?

TRANSPORT.

DO WE? DO WE KNOW IT?

I'M SURE HE'S ONE
OF OUR DRIVERS.

THIS IS JUST
FUCKING BRILLIANT.

NO. YOU KNOW THIS
ISN'T YOUR FAULT.

WE REALLY SHOULD
HIRE SOMEONE

TO TAKE CARE OF
THIS SORT OF THING.

WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S FUCKIN' YOU!

LOOK, JAMES KNOWS--WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?

WHY AREN'T YOU A MEMORY
OF SOMEONE THAT I KNEW,

WHO STOOD HERE ONCE?

NOT BAD, HUH?

SEE, RICK, YOU
KEEP DIRECTING MOVIES

AND ALL THIS
COULD BE YOURS.

I DON'T KNOW.

THE KIND OF MOVIES I DO,

THEY DON'T PUT YOU UP
IN HOUSES LIKE THIS.

THE KIND OF MOVIES I DO,
YOU HAVE TO GET A DAY JOB

IN ORDER TO PAY FOR THE
PRIVILEGE OF MAKING MOVIES.

LIKE BEING A DRIVER.

THIS IS TEMPORARY.

I'M ON CALL.

THEY'RE JUST GIVING ME A
COUPLE DAYS TO HELP ME OUT.

YEAH?
WHAT'S YOUR DAY JOB?

UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR,
CINEMA STUDIES 101.

BUT I GAVE IT ALL
UP LAST SEMESTER.

JUST QUIT.

TO BE A DRIVER?

TO MAKE MOVIES.

MAYBE I COULD
HELP YOU.

YEAH, I'M SURE
YOU COULD.

MAYBE I COULD GET YOU ON
AS A FULL-TIME DRIVER.

WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?

HEY! WE GOT ANOTHER
GIFT BASKET!

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

THAT'S MY FAVOURITE
PART OF MAKING MOVIES.

THAT WOULD BE
THE OFFICE.

CHAMPAGNE.

I THINK WE SHOULD
BE GOING.

ARE YOU MARRIED, RICK?

YEAH, WELL,
TECHNICALLY I STILL AM.

BUT YOU HAVE AN
OPEN RELATIONSHIP?

SO FAR IT'S BEEN PRETTY
OPEN FROM HER SIDE.

WHY DON'T YOU GRAB THE
LUGGAGE OUT OF THE TRUNK

AND MEET ME UPSTAIRS?

I'LL BE IN THE BEDROOM.

YEAH, OKAY, BUT,

I THINK WE REALLY
SHOULD BE GOING.

[BUZZING]

SWEETHEART? I'M HOME!

[♪]

WHAT ARE YOU
LISTENING TO?

MIND NOT PLAYING THAT
THING IN THE KITCHEN?

PEOPLE EAT AT THAT TABLE.

YOU REMEMBER BASIL,
MY STUDENT.

NO, I DON'T.

I CAN'T KEEP TRACK.

A WOMAN NAMED
SUSAN CALLED.

SUZANNE. THAT'S THE
MOTHER OF MY CLIENT.

DON'T BULLSHIT ME.

SHE SAID
"TELL HIM, THANK YOU"

IN A WAY THAT WAS VERY
LOADED AND SUGGESTIVE.

I THINK I KNOW WHAT
"THANK YOU" MEANS.

REALLY. I FIND THAT
HARD TO BELIEVE.

WHAT DID SHE SAY?

SHE SAID IT'S A GO.

YOU'RE ON FULL TIME,
WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

IT MEANS THAT I WAS
HIRED AS A FLOAT

AND THAT SHE TALKED
TO THE PRODUCERS,

AND NOW YOU'RE LOOKING
AT THE FULL-TIME DRIVER

OF TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS.
...THE ACTOR.

NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

I HEARD HE PUTS
GOLDFISH UP HIS ASS.

HE'S 12 YEARS OLD.

THAT'S ABOUT
YOUR SPEED, RICK.

SO?SO, WHAT?

DOES HE?DOES HE WHAT?

PUT GOLDFISH
UP HIS ASS.

WELL, BASIL, I HAVEN'T
SEEN ANY GOLDFISH.

BUT THEN AGAIN,
IF THEY WERE UP HIS ASS,

I WOULDN'T SEE THEM, WOULD I?

BASIL CAME OVER TO HELP
ME PACK YOUR STUFF.

WHAT?

I TOLD YOU, IT'S
CLUTTERING THE APARTMENT.

KEEP IT IN YOUR CORNER, OR PUT
IT IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR.

SO, THIS IS IT.

THREE BOXES.

THIS IS ALL I HAVE?

EVERYTHING THAT IS LEFT
OF THIS RELATIONSHIP

HAS COME DOWN TO THIS.

THREE BOXES...

PLUS THIS.

YOUR PICK-UP TIME FOR TAYLOR
IS 6:15 TOMORROW MORNING.

DON'T WAKE US UP.

[LAUGHTER & SQUEALING
IN BEDROOM]

[ALARM BUZZES]

[♪]

FEELING GOOD?

GOOD.

ALRIGHT TAY, THIS IS THE
SCENE WHERE YOU TAKE CHARGE

AND SHOW THESE
WHITE HOUSE FLACKS

YOU ARE NOT SOME
LITTLE PUNK KID

THEY CAN PUSH
AROUND, ALRIGHT?

NOW, THE CAMERA IS GOING TO
SWOOP DOWN, IT'S A WICKED SHOT,

AND WHEN THE CRANE GETS HERE,
AND WE CALL THE SECOND ACTION,

YOU KICK ASS!
ALRIGHT?

RIGHT?

OKAY, LET'S DO THIS!

[BELL RINGS]

[♪]

ACTION!

WE'RE GOING TO SPEND A LOT
OF TIME TOGETHER, YOU AND I.

EVERY TIME THERE'S A BREAK
ON SET, WE'LL COME HERE,

MEET IN OUR
LITTLE TRAILER.

WE'RE LUCKY ON THIS FILM
'CAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER KIDS.

IT'S ONE ON ONE.

NO OVERCROWDED
CLASSROOMS HERE!

AND... ACTION!

NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED EXACTLY

BETWEEN YOU
AND MR. BUDGE.

BUT IN MY EXPERIENCE,
THESE PROBLEMS ARISE

DUE TO A LACK
OF COMMUNICATION.

YOU THINK YOU CAN SCARE ME
AWAY? IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?

WELL, YOU BETTER
THINK AGAIN, BUSTER.

I'M NOT A SCAREDY-CAT LIKE
THOSE PREVIOUS TUTORS.

I CANNOT WAIT. I CAN'T WAIT
TO SEE WHAT LITTLE ANTICS

YOU COME UP
WITH TOMORROW.

GIVE 'EM HELL,
TAYLOR.

ACTION!

DAD, CAN
YOU HEAR ME?

MRS. BIRNBAUM,
WE NEED TO TALK.

OKAY. TALK.

NO TUTOR CAME
IN TODAY.

TAYLOR'S ALONE?

NO ACCREDITED TEACHER
WANTS TO COME IN.

APPARENTLY, THERE HAVE BEEN
COMPLAINTS ABOUT HIS ATTITUDE-

WHAT ATTITUDE?

LIKE HE DOESN'T WANT
TO BE IN SCHOOL.

WELL, NO KIDDING.
HE'S A 12-YEAR-OLD KID.

YES, BUT APPARENTLY
HE'S RUDE-

OKAY. JUST
WAIT A MINUTE.

WHERE I COME FROM, IN AMERICA,
WE DON'T BLAME THE CHILD.

IF THERE'S A PROBLEM
WITH TAYLOR'S EDUCATION

THEN THE PROBLEM
IS WITH THE SYSTEM,

AND YOU'RE THE SYSTEM.

YES, BUT IN THE MEANTIME-

IN THE MEANTIME, FIND
SOMEONE TO TEACH THAT BOY.

HOW MUCH ARE YOU
PAYING THESE PEOPLE?

REGULAR SCHOOL-BOARD
RATES, I GUESS.

YEAH, THAT WOULD
BE MY GUESS TOO.

PAY 'EM MORE.

PAY 'EM WHAT YOU
HAVE TO PAY 'EM.

HEY, RICK.

DID YOU GRADUATE
FROM HIGH SCHOOL?

I TAUGHT UNIVERSITY
FOR 4 YEARS.

CAN YOU COME WITH
ME FOR A SECOND?

I NEED YOU TO DO ME
A PRETTY BIG FAVOUR.

ARE YOU GOOD
WITH MATH?

IS THIS A JOKE?

THIS IS AN INSULT
TO MY INTELLIGENCE.YEAH? MINE TOO.

WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO BE?

THIS IS MY TRUSTY TECHNICOLOR
SUPER-6 FROM 1972.

I USE IT AS A KIND OF
PERSONAL DIARY, AND I THOUGHT,

IF YOU LIKE, I COULD
SHOW YOU HOW TO USE IT.

NO RESPONSIBLE ADULT

WOULD ENCOURAGE A
CHILD TO MAKE MOVIES.

I THOUGHT IT'S A SUBJECT

THAT MIGHT BE CLOSER
TO YOUR INTERESTS.

TURN OFF THE CAMERA.

TURN IT OFF!OKAY.

I DON'T NEED CREATIVE
TEACHING TECHNIQUES, OKAY?

OKAY.

I HATE THAT SHIT.

ALL I NEED IS A TUTOR
WHO DOES THE JOB.

AND WHAT'S THE JOB?

SEE THOSE BOOKS ON
THE TABLE OVER THERE?

AT THE END OF THE YEAR,

THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA SENDS ME

A GRADE 7
EQUIVALENCY TEST.

IF I DON'T PASS,
IT'S NOT GOOD.

OKAY, WELL THAT
DOESN'T SEEM TOO HARD.

WHERE WE DO WE START?

PICK A BOOK.

OKAY. HOW 'BOUT...

CATCHER IN THE RYE?

I KNEW YOU'D PICK THAT ONE.

IT'S THE FAVOURITE OF ALL THE
LOSERS AND SOCIAL MISFITS.

YEAH, AND THE GUYS WHO
WANT TO KILL CELEBRITIES.

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD
RECOMMENDATION.

THEN WHY DON'T
YOU READ IT?

I HAVE.OUT LOUD.

WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN,

OPEN THE BOOK TO
PAGE 1 AND READ IT TO ME?

I'M PRETTY SURE
THAT'S YOUR JOB.

LOOK. I WORK HARD.

I READ SCRIPTS EVERY DAY,

AND WHEN I COME IN THIS TRAILER
I WANT A RELAXING ENVIRONMENT

AND I DON'T WANT TO
WASTE MY TIME READING.

I'M NOT YOUR
SERVANT, TAYLOR.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
A CHAUFFEUR IS?

I'M NOT READING
THIS BOOK.

ALRIGHT. PICK ANOTHER-IT'S CHEATING.

IF I'M THE TEACHER,
YOU DO THE READING.

I DON'T THINK SO, DUDE.

PARDON ME?

YOU'LL DO WHATEVER
I TELL YOU TO DO.

OR WHAT?OR YOU'RE FIRED.

YOU CAN'T FIRE ME,
YOU'RE NOT MY BOSS.

AND I'M NOT A REAL
TEACHER ANYWAY.

MY MOM CAN FIRE YOU.FOR WHAT?

NOT DOING
YOUR HOMEWORK?

BECAUSE I COULD SAY
YOU DID SOMETHING.

LIKE WHAT?SOMETHING BAD.

YOU MOLESTED ME?

REALLY. YOU'D SAY THAT.

SHE'D BELIEVE ME.
I'M A GOOD ACTOR.

YEAH, SO THEY SAY.

PEOPLE TRY TO MOLEST
ME ALL THE TIME.

I'M SURE THEY DO.

THEY SEND LETTERS.

MY MOM TRIES TO BLOCK THEM
FROM ME BUT I'VE SEEN THEM,

THEY'RE DISGUSTING.

WELL, FINE. YOU TELL
HER WHAT YOU LIKE.

I WILL.

WELL, GO AHEAD!
SOUNDS LIKE FUN.

SHE'LL BELIEVE ME.I DON'T THINK SO.

WHY NOT?'CAUSE I'M FUCKING HER.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[SOUND OF AUTOMATIC DOOR]

CORNER OF SPADINA.

YEAH. I KNOW EXACTLY
WHERE THAT IS.

ALRIGHT. WELL,
THAT'D BE GREAT.

HOLD ON.
HEY, BABY.

GIVE 'EM HELL, OKAY?

OKAY. I'LL BE THERE.

SO THAT WENT WELL.OH, GOODY.

THE KID JUST WANTED
TO HEAR THE TRUTH.

GOT TIRED OF
THE BULLSHIT.

OH, YEAH? IS THAT
YOUR TECHNIQUE?

WORKS EVERY TIME.

GUYS, PUT THE NOSE
CONE ON, PLEASE.

AFTER THE NOSE
CONE IS PUT ON,

WE'RE GOING
RIGHT AWAY!

TAYLOR, CAN

TAYLOR? TAY--

LOOKING GOOD, MAN. READY?

ALRIGHT, LET'S DO THIS!

OK, LOCK IT UP!
PICTURE'S UP.

ALRIGHT, WE ARE
READY TO ROLL.

READY, TAYLOR?

I'M GLAD IT WENT WELL 'CAUSE I
HAVE SOME SHOPPING TO DO TODAY.

OH, YEAH, FOR WHAT?

PIANO FOR TAYLOR.

THOSE CHEAP FUCKING
BASTARDS IN PRODUCTION

DON'T WANT TO
GET HIM ONE.

I'VE BEEN SCREAMING
AT THEM ALL MORNING.

SO, I HAVE TO GET IT MYSELF.
IT'S ALRIGHT.

IT JUST MEANS THAT I'LL BE
GONE MOST OF THE AFTERNOON.

I WAS WONDERING IF
YOU COULD WATCH TAY.

YEAH, SURE.

ACTION.

GOTTA PLAY IT
BY THE BOOK.

THEY GAVE ME
A TALKING TO.

NO PROBLEM.

GREAT.

IF YOU COULD
JUST SIGN THESE.

WHAT?

[GRUNTING]

OKAY. COME ON.
THIS IS LIKE A SEESAW.

UUHHH...
WHAT ARE THESE?

IT JUST SAYS THAT YOU
OFFICIALLY AGREE

TO BE TAYLOR'S
LEGAL GUARDIAN.

WHAT?IT'S JUST A FORMALITY.

IT MAKES IT SO I
CAN LEAVE THE SET.

TAYLOR AND I THOUGHT
THAT'D BE GREAT.

CUT!

I WANT THIS WAY
MORE VIOLENT...

SYD?
I'M A BIT THIRSTY.

CAN I GET A
BOTTLE OF PERRIER?

SYD...

TAYLOR?

I NEED YOU TO BE...

THIS ONE, ALRIGHT?

WAY MORE SCARED!

SYD, CAN I GET A BOTTLE

MEDIEVAL TORTURE MACHINE.

RICK, NO. NO.

DAD, I WON'T...

THAT WAS
BEAUTIFUL, BUDDY.

SERIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL.

NOW, WHEN WE DO IT AGAIN,
REMEMBER WHAT I SAID.

KEEP YOUR VOICE UP.

I WANT YOU SCREAMING
LIKE A BOY, NOT A MAN.

ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S IT. THAT'S ENOUGH.

NO, MOM. I'M COOL.
REALLY.

THAT'S MY BOY.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU GET 3
TAKES, MAXIMUM.

MAXIMUM!

RICK, TAKE GOOD
CARE OF HIM.

YEAH...

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA
GO FOR ANOTHER ONE.

ROLL SOUND!

ACTION!

[KNOCKING]

WHAT'RE YOU
DOING IN HERE?

WAITING FOR SOMEONE FROM
MAKE-UP TO CLEAN OFF MY FACE.

TOUGH DAY OUT THERE.
YOU OKAY?

IS THERE ANYTHING
I COULD DO TO HELP?

YEAH, MAYBE.

WHAT?

COULD YOU GO FIND SOMEONE FROM
MAKE-UP TO CLEAN OFF MY FACE?

SURE.

I'LL WAIT OUTSIDE.

AND CHIP WANTS TO COME WITH
US, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU.

YOUR MUM'S NOT HERE, SO
IT'LL JUST BE US GUYS.

MAYBE WE CAN TAKE
THE SCENIC ROUTE.

RICK.YEAH?

IF YOU FEEL AS IF YOU HAVE
PRIVILEGED ACCESS TO MY LIFE,

IT'S BECAUSE I GAVE
YOU THAT PRIVILEGE.

UH HUH.

I LET YOU IN MY LIFE
BECAUSE I HAVE A PLAN,

AND I THINK
I CAN USE YOU.

USE ME FOR WHAT?

[SIGH]

I NEED SOME HELP
WITH THE LADIES.

YEEEEAH! TORONTO!

LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS!

I DON'T KNOW, TAYLOR.

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF
I'M THE RIGHT PERSON
FOR THIS CONVERSATION.

I JUST NEED SOME BASIC
HELP WITH MY TECHNIQUE.

YEAH, TECHNIQUE, YOU KNOW,
I DON'T HAVE ANY TECHNIQUE.

ALL WOMEN ARE
INDIVIDUAL CASES FOR ME.

I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE GUYS

WITH SOME OVERALL
SYSTEM OR SOMETHING.

YOU BAGGED MY MOM,
DIDN'T YOU?

YEAH, BUT THAT WAS

NO GREAT TECHNICAL
ACHIEVEMENT OR ANYTHING.

ARE YOU SAYING
MY MOM WAS EASY?

NO... NO, I'M
JUST SAYING...

WHAT DID YOU WANNA KNOW?

HOW DO YOU FIND THE
APPROPRIATE GIRL?

"APPROPRIATE"?
ONE GLASS.

PROMISE NOT
TO TELL, OKAY?

THE GIRLS I MEET ON
THE JOB, MOST OF THEM,

THEY'RE NOT MY AGE GROUP.

AND IF THEY ARE,
THEN, YOU KNOW,

THEY'RE NOT MY
SUCCESS LEVEL.

SO?

SO I'M MORE ADVANCED
THAN THEY ARE.

YEAH, TAYLOR, WE'RE NOT
TALKING ABOUT MARRIAGE HERE.

I WANT A MEANINGFUL
RELATIONSHIP.

AND YOU ARE WHAT?TWELVE.

YEAH, TAYLOR, MEANING
COMES WITH TIME, YOU KNOW.

BUT THERE'S LOTS OF FUN
YOU CAN HAVE WITH A GIRL

WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, MEANING.

TRUST ME ON THAT.

GENTLEMEN!

IT'S MY DISTINGUISHED
PLEASURE

TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO OUR NEW FRIENDS.

THIS IS NA-

NATHALIE.NATHALIE...

ANGIE.

AND, BELIEVE IT
OR NOT, ANGIE.

TWO ANGIES?

YEAH, BUT WE'RE NOT
SISTERS OR ANYTHING.

BUT SOMETIMES
PEOPLE THINK WE ARE.

GOOD TO KNOW![CELL PHONE RINGS]

NATHALIE HERE IS A
BIG FAN OF YOURS.

YEAH, I'M ALSO
AN ACTOR.

SLASH...

ACTOR-SLASH-MODEL.

SLASH...

SLASH-NOTHING.

FUCK YOU.

SO ARE YOU REALLY
TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS?

YEAH.

TAYLOR, THAT WAS YOUR
MOTHER ON THE PHONE.

SORRY...

OKAY.

WE SHOULD DRINK UP.

MY ADVICE TO YOU IS, YOU'VE
GOTTA LEARN TO RELAX.

I SEE YOU TAKING ALL THIS
PRESSURE ON YOURSELF

WITH NO MEANS
OF RELEASE.

IT'S NOT HEALTHY.

YOU'VE GOTTA LEARN HOW TO
JUST HANG OUT WITH GIRLS

AND HAVE FUN.

YOU KNOW, IT IS POSSIBLE
JUST TO HAVE FUN.

YOU MEAN,
LIKE SEX?

NO, BUT, YEAH, THAT TOO.

YOU GOTTA GET SOME
EXPERIENCE UNDER YOUR BELT.

HOW DO YOU KNOW I'M
NOT EXPERIENCED.

NO 12-YEAR-OLD IS
EXPERIENCED, TAYLOR.

I KNOW ABOUT SEX.

I KNOW ABOUT
FOREPLAY.

I'M SURE YOU'VE
DONE YOUR HOMEWORK.

I KNOW ABOUT
THE CLITORIS.

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT, TAYLOR.

THE CLITORIS
ISN'T IMPORTANT.

I MEAN, IT'S IMPORTANT,
DON'T GET ME WRONG.

WE CAN GO OVER THIS
IN HEALTH CLASS.

BUT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS
GETTING SOME LIFE EXPERIENCE.

LEARNING TO BE COOL SO
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO

WHEN THE RIGHT GIRL
COMES ALONG, YOU KNOW?

BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN
THE RIGHT GIRL COMES ALONG?

YOU'LL KNOW, YOU'LL KNOW.

IT'S JUST SO HARD
TO GET IT GOING.

YEAH!
TELL ME ABOUT IT.

THEY ALWAYS SEEM
TO BE JUDGING YOU.

YEAH, AND YOU'RE
JUDGING THEM.

BUT WHAT'RE YOU
WORRIED ABOUT?

YOU'RE RICH, YOU'RE FAMOUS,
YOU'RE A HANDSOME MOTHERFUCKER.

YOU BETTER HOPE
THEY JUDGE YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA
BE JUST FINE.

DON'T YOU WORRY
ABOUT A THING.

I'D BE JEALOUS OF YOU
IF I WERE 12 YEARS OLD.

IN FACT, I AM
JEALOUS OF YOU BUT...

FORTUNATELY, I HAVE A LADY
WAITING FOR ME UPSTAIRS.

ALL RIGHT.

UMM...
THANKS, MAN.

LOOK AT YOU. YOU'VE GOT
THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET.

ENJOY IT WHILE
YOU CAN.

LIVE A LITTLE.

BAD BOY.

DID YOU CLOSE
THE DOOR?

IT'S CLOSED.

GOOD.

I DON'T WANT TAYLOR KNOWING
ABOUT THIS JUST YET.

HE'S HAVING A HARD TIME
GETTING OVER HIS FATHER.

DON'T WORRY, HE'S DOWNSTAIRS
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.

HE'LL BE FINE.

[VIDEO GAME NOISE]

[♪]

TAYLOR, GET DOWN, BUDDY!

I HEARD A STORY ABOUT
TAYLOR AND A GOLDFISH.

THAT'S BULLSHIT.

THAT'S TABLOID BULLSHIT.

WE ACTORS HATE
THAT SHIT.

WAIT A MINUTE.
ARE YOU AN ACTOR?

CHIP METZGER!

CHIP METZGER!
DADDY'S FAVOURITE?

OH MY GOD!

YOU'RE THAT GUY!

YEAH, YEAH!

HE'S SO CUTE.

WHAT WAS THAT LINE
YOU USED TO SAY?

I DON'T DO
THAT NO MORE.

"WHO YOU TRYIN'
TO FOOL?"

THAT'S OLD SCHOOL.

WHO YOU TRYIN' TO FOOL?

YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO GET ME

PRETTY FUCKING WASTED
TO REPEAT THAT.

WHICH ISN'T OUT OF THE
REALM OF POSSIBILITY.

SHALL WE GO FOR A TOOT?

YOU USED TO BE
SO...SO CUTE.

THAT KID IS OUT
OF CONTROL.

[♪]

[♪]

HEY! LET'S GO!

WANNA HAVE A GOOD
TIME TAYLOR?

WANNA HAVE A
GOOD TIME?WHAT?

YEAH! I'M HAVING
A GOOD TIME.

YOU AND ME.
LET'S GO SOMEWHERE.

OH, YEAH.
OKAY. YEAH.

IT'S GONNA BE A BIG NIGHT
FOR TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS.

[♪]

[SOUND OF LOVEMAKING]

DID I MAKE A
LOT OF NOISE?

NO, NOT A PEEP.REALLY?

BECAUSE I USUALLY
MAKE A LOT OF NOISE.

OH...

WHAT AM I
DOING WRONG?

NO, DON'T TURN
ON THE LIGHT.

I BETTER GO.

I'LL CHECK IN ON
TAY BEFORE I LEAVE.

NO, STAY THE NIGHT.

WE'LL TELL TAYLOR
IN THE MORNING.

HE'LL BE FINE.

HE NEEDS A GOOD
MALE ROLE MODEL.

SO DO I.

[LAUGHTER]

THIS IS WHERE
THE MAGIC HAPPENS.

WE'RE GONNA KEEP
THE GUARDS HAPPY

FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES OR SO.

KIDS YOU DO YOUR
BUSINESS, YOU HAVE FUN.

LET'S GO!

SO...

THIS IS WHERE
THEY MAKE MOVIES.

I'M AFRAID TO
SPEAK OUT LOUD.

YOU CAN SPEAK.

[YELLS]

[YELLING]

I'M GONNA WORK HERE
ONE DAY, I BET.

I BET.

I HAVE A MODELING
GIG TOMORROW.

SO, WHAT KIND OF MOVIES
WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.
LIKE, PRETTY WOMAN.

YOU KNOW, WITH
JULIA ROBERTS.

SHE'S GOT A GREAT SMILE.

YEAH, A MEGAWATT.

SO, WHERE DO YOU
WANT TO DO IT?

THE GREEN ROOM?
THE ROSE ROOM?

THE LINCOLN BEDROOM?

I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S YOUR FANTASY.

I'M CANADIAN.

THIS IS JUST
LIKE THAT MOVIE.

WHICH ONE?

YOU KNOW, THE ONE WITH THE
PRESIDENT GETTING THE BLOW-JOB?

OH, YEAH.
RIGHT.

SO, I GUESS WE
SHOULD DO IT, HUH?

LOOK. I'M NOT A
PROSTITUTE. YOU KNOW?

I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE.

I MEAN, I WOULD'VE
DONE IT FOR NO MONEY,

BUT YOUR FRIEND
OFFERED SO I TOOK IT.

HE THINKS HE'S BIG SHIT,
BUT HE'S A SUCKER, RIGHT?

ARE YOU SURE YOU'VE
DONE THIS BEFORE?

OH, YEAH. TOTALLY.

MANY, MANY TIMES.

I MAY FORGET CERTAIN
THINGS, THOUGH.

IT'S OKAY.
I'LL REMIND YOU.

COULD YOU JUST WAIT
OUTSIDE FOR A SECOND?

OUTSIDE?

YEAH. JUST OUT
OF THE ROOM.

I'VE GOT TO TAKE
OFF MY CLOTHES.

HOW 'BOUT I JUST TURN
AROUND AND CLOSE MY EYES?

OKAY. DO IT.

IT'S GONNA BE FUN.

I REALLY LIKE YOU.PLEASE CLOSE YOUR EYES.

[PHONE RINGS]

HELLO.

WHAT?

NO. NO ONE TOLD US ANYTHING
ABOUT A BOOK SIGNING.

NO, RICK'S NOT HERE YET.

DID YOU TRY HIM AT HIS HOUSE?

WELL THEN, HE'S
PROBABLY ON HIS WAY.

OH, WAIT.
I JUST HEARD A CAR.

THAT'S PROBABLY HIM.

TAYLOR!

RISE AND SHINE, SWEET
THING, WE GOTTA HUSTLE.

WE HAVE A
PROBLEM HERE.

[CLEARS THROAT]

EVERYONE, CAN I
HAVE YOUR ATTENTION.

UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE
JUST BEEN TOLD,

THAT TAYLOR WILL NOT BE ABLE
TO MAKE TODAY'S SIGNING.

I KNOW, I KNOW.[GROANING]

I'M VERY SORRY.

APPARENTLY, HIS DOG, BANJO,

HAD TO BE TAKEN TO
THE VET THIS MORNING.

AND TAYLOR WANTED
TO BE WITH HIM.

THIS IS MORE THAN
JUST A LITTLE PROBLEM.

I UNDERSTAND.

LOOK. I DON'T KNOW HOW
YOU GOT THIS JOB, RICK.

SCHILLER, IS IT? LIKE THE
KID IN THE THE CHAMP, RIGHT?

THAT'S SCHRODER.

IT'S SCHILLER, LIKE
THE GERMAN POET.

ANYWAY, LOOK, YOU
GOT THE JOB SOMEHOW

AND I'M GONNA
HOLD YOU TO IT.

YOU ARE THE KID'S
LEGAL GUARDIAN.

I UNDERSTAND.STOP SAYING
YOU UNDERSTAND.

I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE AT
ALL IN YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTOOD WOULD
NOT TAKE A CHILD TO A BAR,

GET HIM LIQUORED UP AND
FORGET ABOUT A BOOK SIGNING.

IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME
HE HAD AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

HE'S 12 YEARS OLD.

NO ONE EXPECTS ANYTHING
TO OCCUR TO YOU, RICK.

WE EXPS.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT MOVIES?

DO YOU HAVE ANY
IDEA HOW HARD IT IS

TO BREAK DOWN A
SHOOT FOR A MINOR?

WE HAVE 6 HOURS A
DAY WITH TAYLOR,

BY STRICT UNION
REGULATIONS.

SIX HOURS A DAY, AND HE HAPPENS
TO BE THE STAR OF THIS PICTURE.

SURE. ONE DAY, I CAN JUGGLE
THINGS AROUND A LITTLE BIT.

BUT GOD FORBID HE'S
STILL MISSING TOMORROW.

I'VE GOT THE
STUDIO ON MY ASS.

I'VE GOT HIS AGENTS.
I'VE GOT THE POLICE.

I'VE GOT THE
PRESS ON MY ASS.

AND I BLEED MONEY.EXCUSE ME, PHIL.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I
GIVE SHIT ABOUT YOUR ASS?

SUZANNE?I DON'T CARE
ABOUT HIS ASS.

"BLEED MONEY"?

WHAT A JUXTAPOSITION.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR TAYLOR,

BECAUSE HE'S 12 YEARS
OLD AND HE'S LOST.

NOT BECAUSE OF YOU
OR YOUR STUPID MOVIE,

OR YOUR SCHEDULING PROBLEMS.

THAT'S WHY HE TOOK OFF
IN THE FIRST PLACE:

BECAUSE OF YOUR CHEAP
FUCKING PRODUCTION.

SO, YOU CAN FIRE ME HERE
RIGHT NOW, OR YOU CAN HELP.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I GUESS YOU'VE GOT HEAD SHOTS

OF EVERY ACTOR
WHO WORKS IN TOWN?

WE CAN GET THEM ON-LINE.

AND IF I POINT TO PICTURE,
CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE SHE IS?

WE CAN CALL THE AGENT. THEY
USUALLY EXCEPT MY CALLS.

SO, WHAT'S THE NAME?

NATHALIE SOMETHING,
ACTRESS-SLASH-MODEL.

THAT'S REALLY GOING TO
NARROW IT DOWN, RICK.

IT'S SO RARE THAT
SOMEONE CAN DO BOTH.

AND SEXY!

THE CAR IS
YOUR BOYFRIEND!

[♪]

[♪]

I THINK MAYBE WE
SHOULD CALL THE POLICE.

NO. THIS WOULD BE TERRIBLE
FOR TAYLOR'S CAREER.

WE'LL FIND HIM.

ALRIGHT THEN.
YOU HAVE TO HELP ME.

YOU HAVE TO TELL ME EVERYONE
TAYLOR'S COME INTO CONTACT WITH

SINCE HE CAME TO CANADA.

CAN YOU THINK OF ANYONE WHO
MIGHT HARBOUR ILL FEELINGS?

JUST THE CREW.

[♪]

TAYLOR MENTIONED SOMETHING
ABOUT LETTERS FROM PERVERTS?

THAT'S NOTHING.

I THINK WE HAVE TO CONSIDER
THE WORST POSSIBLE OPTION.

I DON'T WANT TAYLOR
READING HIS FAN MAIL

AND GETTING
AN INFLATED EGO.

SO, I TELL HIM THE
LETTERS ARE FOM PERVERTS.

THERE ARE NO PERVERTS?

NO. OF COURSE, THERE ARE.

BUT THE PERVERTS ARE
NEVER THE PROBLEM.

EVERYONE WANTS TO
BLAME THE PERVERTS.

IT ALWAYS ENDS UP BEING
THE FATHER OR SOMETHING.

CUT! LET'S PUSH IT.
IT NEEDS MORE EDGE.

NATHALIE.

THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN

FOR AN IMPORTANT
AMERICAN MONTHLY.

WEDGE. YOU KNOW WHO
READS THAT MAGAZINE?

HORNY COLLEGE STUDENTS
AND PEDOPHILES.

SOMETIMES.

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE?
WOMEN.

WOMEN WANT TO KNOW WHAT
OTHER WOMEN LOOK LIKE.

THEY FIND IT INSPIRING THAT
SOMEONE AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU

IS SO CONFIDENT
WITH HER SEXUALITY.

YOU WANT ME TO
TAKE MY SHIRT OFF.

EVERYONE THIS IS
A CLOSED SET.

WE NEED YOU ALL
TO LEAVE THE ROOM.

THEY SAID THAT THERE WASN'T
GOING TO BE ANY NUDITY.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE FATHER?

OH, NO.

TAYLOR'S FATHER WOULD
NEVER SUPPORT ANY SCHEME

THAT FORCED TAYLOR
TO MISS A DAY OF WORK.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

IS THIS ABOUT
MONEY OR SOMETHING?

'CAUSE YOU DO KNOW THAT
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT

THESE UNSCHEDULED PHONE CALLS.

LOOK, IF IT IS ABOUT MONEY,

THEN WE CAN SET UP AN
APPOINTMENT AND TALK.

BUT IT'S SOMETHING I PREFER
TO DO WITH MY LAWYERS PRESENT.

UNDERSTAND?

AND ANOTHER THING: IF SUZANNE
IS PUTTING YOU UP TO THIS,

IF SHE'S THERE
NOW EGGING YOU ON,

YOU TELL HER THERE IS
NOTHING MORE DESPICABLE

THAN USING A FATHER'S CONCERN
FOR HIS SON TO GET MONEY.

I DO HAVE FEELINGS,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

LOOK, I'D LOVE TO MEET WITH
YOU AND TALK ABOUT THIS.

NOW, WE CAN TALK ABOUT
ANYTHING YOU WANT.

COME HEAR THE BAND.

IT'S REALLY
COMING TOGETHER.

THANKS TO YOUR INVESTMENT.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME, THAT'S WHY
WE HAVE THE SCHEDULE, RIGHT?

I LOVE YOU TOO, SON.

IS NATHALIE
ALEXIS IN THERE?

UH-HUH, BUT
YOU CAN'T GO IN.

MAYBE THIS WILL
CHANGE YOUR MIND.

YOU SNUCK IN.

OKAY, NATHALIE,
SWEET, SWEET!

POUTY LIPS, POUTY LIPS.
OKAY, LITTLE BO' PEEP.

UH, NATHALIE,

COULD I HAVE A
WORD WITH YOU?

DON'T WORRY,
I'M NOT LOOKING.

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M FROM THE UNION.

I'M HERE TO CHECK ON
WORKING CONDITIONS.

WHAT UNION?

AUTOWORKERS OF CANADA.

I'LL WAIT FOR YOU OUTSIDE.

I JUST NEED TO KNOW
WHERE TAYLOR IS.

I KNOW YOU WERE
WITH HIM LAST NIGHT,

AND I SHOWED YOUR PICTURE TO
SECURITY AT THE STUDIO, SO...

HIS FRIEND, CHIP, TOLD ME
TO GIVE HIM A GOOD TIME.

HE DID?

AND DID YOU?

DID I WHAT?

HAVE A GOOD TIME?

WELL, SURE. I MEAN, I'D
NEVER SEEN A STUDIO BEFORE.

NO, COME ON. YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, TAYLOR IS SWEET AND
EVERYTHING AND HE TRIED HARD.

BUT HE'S A LITTLE IMMATURE.

YEAH, HE'S 12 YEARS OLD.

YEAH, I KNOW. I FIGURED
THAT OUT PRETTY FAST.

AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS
ONE OF THOSE CHILD STARS,

LIKE GARY COLEMAN OR WEBSTER,

WHO LOOKS LIKE
HE'S 12 BUT HE'S 20.

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?

AND THEN HE TOOK ME TO
BREAKFAST AT FRAN'S,

AND TOLD ME I'D
ALWAYS BE HIS FIRST.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

AND THEN I HAD TO COME HERE FOR
THE SHOOT SO WE SAID GOOD-BYE.

HE WENT HOME.

I MEAN, I HOPE
NOTHING'S WRONG.

YEAH. SOMETHING
IS WRONG.

HE DIDN'T GO HOME.

AND HE'S A KID, NOT SOME FREAK
WITH A PITUITARY PROBLEM.

LOOK, NATHALIE.

IF HE CONTACTS YOU
AGAIN OR IF YOU SEE HIM,

PLEASE, PLEASE,
GIVE ME A CALL.

I'LL GIVE YOU MY CELL.
OKAY?

RICK? THAT'S YOUR NAME?

CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOUR?

CAN YOU GO BACK IN THERE AND
TELL THEM I'M TAKING FIVE.

YOU ALRIGHT?

I'M FINE.

ARE YOU SURE?
YOU LOOK KIND OF SAD.

IT'S MY APPEAL.

PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH.
OKAY?OKAY.

ANYTHING?

OH, GOD.

IS HE GONE?

I HATE LYING LIKE THAT.

IT'S BAD KARMA.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED
TO BE AN ACTOR.

LET'S GO SOMEWHERE.

I'M BORED OUT
OF MY SKULL.

SOME OF US HAVE TO
WORK FOR A LIVING.

FUCK THAT.

YOU GOT A CAR.

SO, LIVE A LITTLE.

OH, MY GOD.
[LAUGHS]

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?

TAHITI?

OKAY, IT HAS TO BE
SOMEWHERE WE CAN DRIVE TO.

I KNOW.

LET'S GO THE COUNTRY.

YOU GOT IT.
THE COUNTRY IT IS.

[LOUD PLANE]

DAD.
CAN YOU HEAR ME?

LOUD AND CLEAR, SON.
LOUD AND CLEAR.

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

IT'S IN YOUR HANDS NOW.

YOU'RE THE MAN OF THE
HOUSE NOW THAT I'M GONE.

I EXPECT YOU TO RUN THINGS.

DAD, THE SECRETARY OF
DEFENCE SAYS HE'S IN CHARGE.

SONOFABITCH.

HE'LL DO ANYTHING
TO GRAB POWER.

LISTEN TO ME:
DON'T PAY ANY HEED

TO WHAT THOSE
BASTARDS HAVE TO SAY.

IN MY AMERICA,
FAMILY COMES FIRST.

WHEN A DAD'S IN TROUBLE, HIS
SON COMES TO HELP HIM OUT.

BUT DAD!

SHH!

SOMEONE'S COMING.

GOTTA GET OUTA HERE.

[GRUNTING]

MY COUNTRY NEEDS ME.

MY SON NEEDS ME.

GOTTA GET BACK.

BACK TO WASHINGTON.

THE CONGRESS NEEDS ME.

WHAT THE HELL'S
HE DOING?

THE SENATE NEEDS ME.

THEY ALL NEED ME.

HE'S TRYING TO ESCAPE.

FROM WHAT,
S.A.G. MEMBERSHIP?

THIS GREAT
NATION NEEDS ME.

OKAY. WELL,
HE'S IMPROVISING.

WHY? WHY IS HE
IMPROVISING.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

ONE IDIOT AND A BLOW-JOB
AGO, THAT MEANT SOMETHING.

JESUS, HE'S OFF THE SET.

SENIORS NEED ME.

THIS ISN'T USABLE.
WHY ARE WE EVEN LOOKING AT IT?

WE CAN FIX
THIS WITH C.G..

I REALLY THINK WITH
SOME RE-SHOOTS WE CAN...

NO. THERE'S NOT GOING TO
BE ANY RE-SHOOTS, SYDNEY.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
WE DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CAST

EVEN IF WE WANTED TO
DO RE-SHOOTS, SYDNEY.

AND TIM, BLESS HIS LITTLE
HEART, HAS CALLED THE AGENCY.

NOW ISAAC IS COMING
IN ON THE RED-EYE.

SO, I SUGGEST WE SOLVE ALL OF
THESE PROBLEMS BY TOMORROW,

OR THERE MAYBE A COUPLE OF
OTHER NAMES ON THE MISSING LIST.

OKAY.

PHILIP?

HOW 'BOUT VOICE-OVER?

JUST EDIT, SYDNEY!YUP.

NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME.

IT'S IN YOUR HANDS NOW.

ALRIGHT, HOW CAN
I HELP YOU?

I'M LOOKING
FOR CHIP METZGER.

CHIP METZGER,
THAT LITTLE PRICK.

EVERYONE SAID THE
KID'S A FUCK-UP.

THEY BEGGED PHIL
NOT TO HIRE HIM.

BUT, NO, THIS MAN IS LOYAL.

TIM'S ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT
BEGGED ME NOT TO HIRE HIM.

LITTLE PRICK SHOULD'VE
KISSED YOUR ASS.

I DIDN'T HIRED HIM
TO KISS MY ASS,

THAT JOB IS
PRETTY MUCH COVERED.

I'D LIKE TO ASK HIM
A FEW QUESTIONS.

HE WAS WITH TAYLOR
LAST NIGHT.

GIVE HIM
REED'S NUMBER.

IT'S A BIT UNETHICAL,

BUT I THINK THIS
QUALIFIES AS AN EMERGENCY.

AND IF YOU DO
TALK TO CHIP,

WOULD YOU GIVE HIM
A MESSAGE FOR ME?

TELL HIM HE'S FIRED.

[CRYING]

[CLEARING THROAT]

HI, MY NAME'S CHIP
AND I'M A...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THE FUCK I AM.

[ALL]
HI, CHIP.

WE NEED
TO TALK.

HOW'D YOU FIND ME HERE?

THIS IS SUPPOSED
TO BE ANONYMOUS.

REED HARRISON TOLD ME.

REED HARRISON.

HE'S MY SPONSOR.

HE'S WORRIED
ABOUT TAYLOR.

EVERYONE IS.

IT'S SO COOL BEING
FAMOUS, EH?

YOU GET TO DO ANYTHING.

GO ANYWHERE YOU LIKE.

IT'S NOT ALWAYS
LIKE THIS.

WHY NOT?
YOU'RE RICH.

TODAY'S SPECIAL,
CAUSE YOU'RE HERE.

TODAY, WE CAN DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT.

PIONEER VILLAGE?
IT'S SUPER-KITCH.

WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE
TO GO THERE.

[♪]

[♪]

[♪]

YOU'RE THAT
KID FROM TV.

NO, I'M NOT.

AFTER THE CLUB, WENT TO SOME
DIVE I KNOW, SCORED SOME HASH.

FOR TAYLOR?NO.

SO IT WAS FOR THE GIRLS.

I USED IT TO BRIBE THE
SECURITY GUARDS AT THE STUDIO.

SMART KID.

NO. I WOULDN'T GIVE
IT TO TAYLOR.

I'M NOT SOME
FUCKIN' CREEP.

THE KID'S 13
OR WHATEVER.

HE WANTED SOME
EXPERIENCE.

HAVE SOME SEX.

I WANTED TO
HELP HIM OUT.

DUDE.
WHAT'S UP?

MY GIRLFRIEND SAYS
YOU'RE ON TV.

GO AWAY.

'NOTHER SCOTCH.

ARE YOU SURE YOU
SHOULD BE DRINKING?

I'M A JUNKIE, RICK,
NOT AN ALCOHOLIC.

I CAN DRINK AS
MUCH AS I WANT.

THEN WHAT HAPPENED?

NOTHING.

NOTHING.

YOU KNOW, I LEFT TAYLOR THERE
TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE HO,

GRABBED MY GIRL,
I FUCKED OFF.

DID YOU SAY "HO"?

YEAH, I BELIEVE I DID.

DID YOU MEAN
THAT LITERALLY?

NATHALIE WAS A PROSTITUTE?

I SURE HOPE SO, I
PAID A BUNDLE FOR HER.

YOU BOUGHT A PROSTITUTE
FOR A 12-YEAR-OLD?

YES, AND I PAID FOR
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT NIGHT.

I PAID FOR THE BOOZE,
PAID FOR THE HASH.

I PAID FOR THE CABFARE.

I GAVE HIM 20 BUCKS
TO GET HOME.

CHEAP LITTLE BASTARD,
DOESN'T PAY FOR ANYTHING.

HE'S ON AN ALLOWANCE.
HE HAS NO MONEY.

GIMME YOUR PHONE.

WHY? WHAT...

GIMME YOUR PHONE.

I'LL COVER THIS.
YOU'VE COVERED ENOUGH.

LISTEN, I WASN'T
THE RINGLEADER.

I WAS HELPING THE KID DO

WHAT HE WAS GOING TO
DO IN THE FIRST PLACE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
HE NEEDED A FRIEND.

I WANTED TO BE THAT FRIEND.

THOSE WHORES
CAN BE MEAN.

BY THE WAY, YOU'RE FIRED.

OKAY, THEN...

MAYBE, IF...YOU TALK TO THEM,
JUST PUT IN A GOOD WORD FOR ME.

I'M JUST THE DRIVER.

WHERE YOU GOING
WITH MY PHONE?

NOTHING.MAYBE, SOMETHING.

IF WE CAN CONTACT
EVERYONE TAYLOR KNOWS

WHO MIGHT LEND HIM MONEY.

SOMETHING TO EAT?

WHAT?

FORTUNATELY, I GOT
ANOTHER GIFT BASKET.

I'VE BEEN SURVIVING ON A DIET
OF FISH ROE AND CHAMPAGNE.

WHAT KIND OF AN IDIOT WOULD
GIVE A WOMAN A GIFT BASKET

WHEN HER CHILD
WAS MISSING?

I CAN GET ANYTHING I WANT
OUT OF THEM RIGHT NOW.

THEY'RE SHITTING BRICKS.

MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO
RENEGOTIATE TAYLOR'S CONTRACT.

EXCUSE ME?

I'M JUST SAYING,
IT MAKES THEM REALIZE

HOW MUCH THEY NEED TAYLOR.

AS LONG AS HE'S
OKAY, YOU KNOW...

I CAN USE IT TO
OUR ADVANTAGE.

YEAH, BUT WHAT
IF HE ISN'T OKAY?

BUT HE IS.I HATE TO SAY IT-

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

BECAUSE I'M HIS MOTHER.

MY GIRLFRIEND WANTS
TO MEET YOU.

SHE WANTS TO HEAR YOU DO
THAT SAYING YOU USED TO DO.

I THINK YOU OWE YOUR
FANS SOME RESPECT,

THEY'RE THE ONES
THAT PUT YOU THERE...I DON'T OWE YOU NOTHING.

YOU OWE ME.

I GAVE UP MY ENTIRE LIFE
FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT.

WATCH YOUR MOUTH.

LET'S GO, TERRENCE.

KNOW WHAT?
YOU'RE NOT EVEN WORTH IT.

YOU'RE A WASH-OUT.

WHOA, JUST...

WHO'RE CALLING A WASH-OUT?

DON'T LECTURE ME ABOUT
HOW TO BE A MOTHER.

I THINK I KNOW THE JOB A
LITTLE BETTER THAN YOU DO.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE JUST
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

I GUESS I AM.

EVERYONE ELSE WOULD
FEEL THE SAME WAY.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE BEEN
THINKING THE WHOLE TIME, RIGHT?

YOU'VE JUST BEEN WAITING TO
JUDGE ME SINCE THE DAY WE MET.

WHAT KIND OF WOMEN WOULD
EXPLOIT HER OWN CHILD?

WHAT KIND OF A MOTHER?

YEAH, I GUESS I DID THINK
SOME OF THOSE THINGS.

BUT I UNDERESTIMATED WHAT
KIND OF MOTHER YOU WERE.

IT DIDN'T STOP YOU FROM
FUCKING ME, DID IT?

BELIEVE ME, WHEN I FUCKED YOU,
THAT WASN'T A MORAL JUDGMENT.

I'VE LIVED MORE IN
MY FIRST 15 YEARS

THAN YOU HAVE
YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!

I MADE A MILLION DOLLARS,
FLOWN ON THE CONCORDE.

SO DON'T PITY ME,
PITY YOURSELF!

I CAN'T WAIT TO KICK
YOUR ASS, PRETTY BOY.

I AM PRETTY.

I HAD WOMEN IN
THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS

HANGING UP MY CENTERFOLD
OVER THEIR BEDS.

GET BACK HERE.
COME ON.

THIS IS STUPID! COME ON.
I'LL DRIVE YOU HOME.

NO!

I'M NOT A GOOD ENOUGH
MOTHER, IS THAT IT?

NOT CONVINCING ENOUGH?

YOU DON'T LIKE
MY PERFORMANCE?

YOU'RE THE DIRECTOR!
COME ON, RICK, TELL ME.

YOUR PERFORMANCE IS FINE.
LET'S GO.

MAYBE I SHOULD
BE CRYING. RIGHT?

THAT'S PROBABLY MORE
APPROPRIATE. MY KID'S MISSING.

I SHOULD JUST CRY AND CRY
AND CRY AND CRY NON-STOP.

WELL, GO AHEAD.
GET YOUR CAMERA.

EVERYONE THINKS CRYING
IS SO FUCKING HARD.

WELL, IT'S EASY.

I TAUGHT TAYLOR TO CRY
WHEN HE WAS 5 YEARS OLD.

READY?

FORGET ABOUT IT,
TERRENCE.

I DON'T EVEN WANT
HIS STUPID AUTOGRAPH.

WHO'S THIS BEHIND YOU?
IS THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

WHAT A FUCKING
PRIZE SHE IS.

GUESS WHAT?

IF YOU WEREN'T HERE SHE'D BE
BEGGING TO SUCK THIS COCK.

[CRYING]

IS THAT IT?

WHO ARE YOU TRYING
TO FOOL, FOOL?

[LAUGH]
THAT WAS MY
CATCH PHRASE.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

THANK YOU.

'CAUSE I WAS GONNA
COMMIT SUICIDE TONIGHT.

YOU SAVED MY LIFE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.

PERFECT DAY, WAS IT NOT?

SIMPLY DELECTABLE.

NATTIE, I WANNA BRING
THE MOOD DOWN A BIT

AND TALK ABOUT
SOMETHING SERIOUS.

WAITER?

I THINK WE'D LIKE
A COUPLE DRINKS.

COUPLE O' DRINKS...

DOUBLE GIN MARTINI
ON THE ROCKS, PLEASE.

MAKE THAT TWO.
I'LL HAVE MINE WITH ICE.

I'M AFRAID I'LL
HAVE TO SEE SOME I.D.

OOPS, DAMN, I THINK I MUST'VE
FORGOTTEN IT IN THE CAR.

HE'S OLDER THAN HE LOOKS.
HE HAS A PITUITARY PROBLEM.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

BRING US A BOTTLE OF
YOUR FINEST CHAMPAGNE,

BRING ANOTHER BOTTLE FOR
THE BOYS IN THE KITCHEN,

AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, GIVE
YOURSELF A HUNDRED-DOLLAR TIP.

WILL THAT SUFFICE?

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

ANYWAY, YOU
WERE SAYING?

I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT LAST NIGHT.

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THAT.

I KNOW IT DIDN'T GO
PERFECTLY AND EVERYTHING,

BUT STILL, I THOUGHT IT
WAS MEANINGFUL SOMEHOW.

ME TOO.

IT'S THE KIND OF MEANING
THAT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE

BUT YOU CAN FEEL
IT WHEN IT'S THERE.

THAT'S SOMETHING I NEED...

NATHALIE,
I WANNA START A FAMILY.

EVERYTHING OK HERE?

NATHALIE, WHADYA THINK?

IT'S HIM FOR SURE.

AND HE'S BUYING
US DRINKS!

[LAUGHTER]

UM, WELL...

I'VE BEEN KINDA THINKING
ABOUT FAMILY TOO.

REALLY?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW THAT TV SHOW OF
YOURS, FAMILY DIFFERENCES?

SURE.

WELL, YOU KNOW HOW
YOU HAD THAT SISTER

WHO WENT OFF TO HELP POOR
PEOPLE AND DIED IN AFGHANISTAN?

WELL...

MAYBE I COULD BE
YOUR NEW SISTER.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE
ANY SENSE.

I HAVEN'T THOUGHT
OUT ALL THE DETAILS

BUT MAYBE YOU COULD
TALK TO THE WRITERS.

NATHALIE, THAT'S
NOT WHAT I MEANT

WHEN I SAID I WANTED
TO START A FAMILY.

I KNOW, I KNOW, BUT
TAYLOR, I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'RE A LITTLE YOUNG.

I'LL GROW.

NATHALIE, I'M JUST ASKING
YOU TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND.

WELL, MAYBE IF I
WAS YOUR SISTER...

WELL, YOU'RE IN LUCK.

WE DON'T USUALLY HAVE
THAT MUCH CHAMPAGNE

BUT WE HAD A WEDDING
LAST WEEK.

AND, SEEING AS YOU'RE OUR
SPECIAL GUEST, MR. BURNS...

ARE YOU PLAYING ME?

YOU'RE PLAYING ME, BITCH?

[CHAMPAGNE CORK POPPING]TAYLOR...

OTHER SUGAR DADDY.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

HELLO-- TAYLOR?

NO NO,
DON'T HANG UP.

IT'S ME, RICK.

NO, I'M ALONE.

I'M NOT GONNA TURN YOU IN.
WHERE ARE YOU, TAYLOR?

ON HIGHWAY 27...

THE OLDE CHOPPE AND
GRILLE, PIONEER VILLAGE.

AND, RICK? COME ALONE.

IF I SEE YOU WITH ANYONE
ELSE, I'LL KILL MYSELF.

I'M SERIOUS.

RICK, I'M SO FUCKED UP!

I RUINED EVERYTHING.

I THOUGHT SHE WAS USING ME,

SO I TOLD HER TO GO
HOME AND NOW SHE'S GONE.

WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

I DID EVERYTHING THAT
YOU TOLD ME TO DO

AND IT DIDN'T WORK,
AND NOW SHE'S GONE

AND I'M FUCKED UP, RICK.

I LOST HER.

THE ONLY GIRL
I EVER LOVED.

MAN, RICK, GET HERE FAST.
I NEED YOU.

AND RICK...

DON'T FORGET
YOUR CHEQUEBOOK.

[LOUD TALKING]

OKAY. LET'S GO NOW.

I PROMISE I'LL READ
THE SCRIPT, OK?

STOP FILMING THAT.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA
DO WITH THAT FILM?

THAT'S NONE OF YOUR
BUSINESS, ALRIGHT?

THIS IS PRIVATE.

LISTEN, I REALLY WANT SOMEONE
TO TAKE CARE OF THIS...

THIS IS ALL I HAVE,
ALRIGHT. I'M SORRY.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

OKAY EVERYONE!

THAT'S IT.

ALRIGHT, PARTY'S OVER.
LET'S GO.

EVERYBODY?

EVERYBODY.

FIRST SON, OPENING...

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT YOU GOTTA GO THERE AND YOU
TELL THEM THAT YOU'RE ALL...

ALL MY BEST
FRIENDS AND THAT...

GO TO SEE THE MOVIE,
'CAUSE I'M A MOVIE STAR!

[CHEERING]

THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU'RE A MOVIE STAR.

LET'S GO, MOVIE STAR.

I THINK I NEED TO USE THE
WASHROOM...

I MIGHT BE SICK.

I'M NOT GOING BACK.

YES, YOU ARE.

TAKE ME TO
THE AIRPORT.

DRIVER!
DID YOU HEAR ME?

SHUT UP, TAYLOR.

LOOK AT ALL THE
STUFF BACK HERE.

I CAN'T LIE DOWN.
IT'S CRAMPED.

JUST LEAVE IT ALONE!

TAKE ME TO THE
AIRPORT, YOU ASSHOLE!JUST SHUT UP.

JUST SHUT UP, TAYLOR.

SHUT UP THE FUCK UP!

YOU'RE DRUNK AND
I'M TAKING YOU HOME.

MY HOME IS IN L.A.YEAH, RIGHT.

A PLANE TICKET NOW.

PUT THIS DOWN.

DRIVER! PUT IT DOWN.SPOILED BRAT.

SHUT UP![LOUD BANG]

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?

SHIT.

[ENGINE SPUTTERING]

YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT ENGINES DO YOU?

YOU TOLD ME
TO SHUT UP.

WHAT'S THIS?

MAYBE WE SHOULD GET OFF THE
ROAD IN CASE OF TRAFFIC.

CHOCOLATE SYRUP?

YOU PUT CHOCOLATE
SYRUP IN THE TANK?

I TOLD YOU, I'M
NOT GOING BACK.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT WORKED.

WHAT NOW?

NOW I CALL A TOW TRUCK.

MAN, THAT'LL
TAKE FOREVER!

WELL, MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU
SHOULD THINK OF THAT

BEFORE YOU PUT
SYRUP IN THE TANK.

TAYLOR, WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHY ARE DOING THIS?

[SIGH]

YOU WON'T TELL?
EVEN MY MOM?

I PROMISE.

I'M GETTING
SICK OF THIS.

RUNNING AWAY?

ACTING.

BEING FAMOUS.

THE FUN'S OVER.

WHY DON'T YOU STOP?

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO DO IT.

TOO MANY PEOPLE
COUNT ON ME.

MANAGERS, AGENTS,
MY DAD'S BAND.

MY MOM WOULD STARVE
TO DEATH IN A WEEK.

YEAH.

IT'S JUST NOT
SATISFYING ANY MORE.

I'M GETTING TOO
OLD FOR THIS CRAP.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD MAKE
MORE ADULT MOVIES.

YOU MEAN LIKE PORN?NO.

MOVIES FOR ADULTS.

MOVIES THAT HAVE
SOMETHING TO SAY.

NOBODY WANTS TO
SEE ME DOING THAT.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD
DO IT FOR YOURSELF.

GIVE YOU A CHANCE
TO EXPRESS YOURSELF.

SAY WHAT'S MAKING YOU ANGRY,
WHAT'S MAKING YOU AFRAID.

THINGS YOU CAN'T
SAY ANY OTHER WAY.

BOY.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT
YOUR FILMS ARE LIKE.

WHERE DID ALL THESE
BOXES COME FROM ANYWAY?

OH, I HAD TO GET
THEM OUTTA THE HOUSE,

AND THIS STUPID LIMO
HAS NO TRUNK SPACE.

THIS IS SUPPOSED
TO BE MY SPACE.

YEAH, JUST SIT BACK
AND ENJOY THE MOVIE.

IT'S CALLED THE
STUPIDITY OF GOD.

IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS.

I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE
REALLY THE RIGHT DEMOGRAPHIC.

WAIT A MINUTE.

THIS FILM HAS
A DEMOGRAPHIC?

YEAH, YEAH, IT DOES.

HER.

MY WIFE.

MY EX-WIFE.

SHE'S THE DEMOGRAPHIC.

I DON'T GET IT.

YOU'RE MAKING THIS FILM
TO GET BACK YOUR EX?

NO.

I'M MAKING IT TO
DRIVE HER CRAZY.

I WANTED TO SHOW
HER THAT NO ONE

WILL EVER BE ABLE TO LOVE
HER LIKE I WAS ABLE TO.

LIKE...

IT'S LIKE A...

MUSIC VIDEO OR SOMETHING.

WELL, YOU JUST RELAX AND LET
THE IMAGES FLOW OVER YOU.

I'M GONNA GO FOR
A LITTLE WALK.

[DIALING CELL PHONE]

HI.

IT'S ME.

YEAH, I'M SORRY ABOUT
WHAT I SAID EARLIER.

I DIDN'T HAVE ANY
RIGHT TO SAY THAT.

YEAH...

I GOT HIM.

HE'S SLEEPING.

YEAH, I FOUND A
WAY TO SEDATE HIM.

CAR TROUBLE.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD
GET A CAB.

YOU CAN'T MISS US.

WE'RE AT MAJOR MAC,
EAST OF 50.

YEAH.

I FEEL THE SAME
WAY ABOUT YOU.

WE'LL BE WAITING.

WHAT?

YOU DIDN'T LIKE
THE MOVIE?

HELLO. RICK?

RICK, WHERE'D YOU GO?

RICK?
WHAT'S GOING ON?

TAYLOR?

OH, GOD.

TAYLOR, ARE
YOU OKAY?

HI, MOM. TAYLOR!

MR SCHILLER.

THERE'S SOME THINGS
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND

ABOUT HOW MOVIES
ARE MADE THESE DAYS.

THEY'RE NOT
MADE BY PEOPLE.

THEY'RE MADE BY MULTINATIONAL
CONGLOMERATIONS.

THE LAWS OF AMERICA
DO NOT APPLY.

MANY OF THE INVESTORS IN
THIS MOVIE I HAVE NEVER MET.

I DO NOT CARE TO MEET.

THOSE OF US IN HOLLYWOOD,

WE'RE MICKEY MOUSE
COMPARED TO THESE PEOPLE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT I'M SAYING?

SOME OF THESE PEOPLE
WENT TO YOUR HOUSE TODAY

AND LEFT A LITTLE
CALLING CARD.

IT IS ONLY A TASTE OF WHAT
THEY ARE PREPARED TO DO.

WENT TO MY HOUSE?

HOW NICE OF YOU
TO JOIN US.

MY NAME IS
ISAAC FITZPATRICK.

I'M THE PRESIDENT
OF TAYLOR'S AGENCY.

WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE

YOU HAVE COME INTO
CONTACT WITH OUR CLIENT.

NURSE?

NURSE!

TELL US WHERE THE BOY IS,

AND I'M PREPARED TO DEAL
WITH YOU HERE AND NOW.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE HE IS

OR WHAT YOU'RE
FUCKIN' TALKING ABOUT.

MR. SCHILLER, IT SEEMS YOU HAVE
A LOVELY HOUSE, A LOVELY WIFE.

IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF
SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO THEM.

ARE YOU SURE IT
WAS MY HOUSE?

417 BEDFORD CRESCENT.

YOU CAN SEND YOUR BOYS
OVER WITH BASEBALL BATS-

WHERE IS THE BOY?

[DOOR OPENS]

MR. FITZPATRICK, WE
NEED TO GO DOWNSTAIRS.

INGTO SAY TO ME, RICK?

YEAH.

GET THE FUCK
OUT OF HERE.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU
ARE TALKING TO ME-

THREATENING ME?

LIKE, BREAKING
INTO MY HOUSE?

YOU CAN'T ACT
LIKE THAT.

THIS ISN'T THE
MOVIES, YOU CLOWN.

GET OUTA HERE!

NURSE.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

WE'LL BE BACK.GOOD.

WHAT AN ORIGINAL TAG LINE.
GET OUTA HERE!

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED
OF THIS PERFORMANCE!

GET OUT!

OW!

WHO WERE THOSE MEN?

THEY'RE AGENTS.THE C.I.A.?

YEAH. SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
VERY DANGEROUS MEN.

I WANNA COVER
YOUR BILL.

I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.

COME ON.

WE HAVE PUBLIC HEALTHCARE
IN THIS COUNTRY.

RICK, GIVE ME A MINUTE.
ALRIGHT?

LOOK, WE GOT OFF ON THE
WRONG FOOT, YOU AND I.

DIDN'T EVEN GET A CHANCE
TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES
LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK I'M A LOT LIKE YOU.

THAT'S A
TERRIFYING THOUGHT.

NO, REALLY. WHAT'S YOUR
FAVOURITE MOVIE?

THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE.
JEAN EUSTACHE.

I LOVE THAT MOVIE,
IT'S FRENCH, RIGHT?

I'M MORE OF A TRUFFAUT GUY,
I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU.

BUT THAT'S THE KIND
OF MOVIE I WANNA MAKE.

THAT'S THE KIND OF MOVIE
I WANT HOLLYWOOD TO MAKE.

BUT FIRST, I GOTTA
GET THE POWER,

SO I CAN HAVE THAT
KIND OF CONTROL.

YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT I'M SAYING?

I'M SAYING,
WHERE IS TAYLOR?

I DUNNO.
TALK TO THE MOTHER.

SHE WON'T
ANSWER MY CALLS.

I'M GONNA GET
FIRED HERE, RICK.

WELL THEN, IF I WAS YOU,
I'D TALK TO THE FATHER.

HE'S IN CALIFORNIA.

WHICH IS WHERE TAYLOR
SAID HE WANTED TO GO.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE FATHER
WAS IN ON THIS THING FROM START?

WELL. I'M JUST SAYING THAT
TAYLOR WAS SEARCHING.

THE FATHER'S AN OBVIOUS
PERSON TO TALK TO.

OKAY. SO WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING IS THAT THE DAD

KIDNAPPED HIS OWN SON IN SOME
OF DESPERATE CUSTODY STRUGGLE?

NO. THAT'S NOT
WHAT I'M SAYING...

ALRIGHT. DON'T SAY IT.
I UNDERSTAND.

OKAY. IT'S MY BABY NOW.

OKAY. I GOT IT.
I GOT THIS.

I'LL JUST
BE A MINUTE.

HELLO?

I'D LIKE TO HAVE 2 TICKETS
FOR THE 12 O'CLOCK TO L.A.X.

AND I'M GONNA USE THESE
FREQUENT FLYER MILES...

AND THESE UPGRADE CERTIFICATES.
THANK YOU.

HELLO, CHIP.

I DON'T BELIEVE WE'VE MET.

I'M ISAAC.
YOUR AGENT.

[HEART MONITOR SPEEDS UP]

[SIGH]

[NOISE]

YOUR PLACE IS KIND
OF A DUMP, EH?

YEAH.

EVEN BARRING THE FACT
THAT IT'S BEEN RANSACKED.

YEAH.

YOU DON'T MIND THAT
I TOOK A BEER, RIGHT?

OH, THEY DIDN'T
TAKE THE BEER.

NO, HELP YOURSELF.

T.V.:
TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS, THE
FAMOUS CHILD ACTOR, IS MISSING.

AUTHORITIES CLAIM
THERE IS NO REASON

TO SUSPECT FOUL
PLAY AT THIS POINT,

BUT WE HAVE LEARNED
THAT THE POLICE BOTH HERE

AND IN LOS ANGELES
HAVE BEEN CONTACTED.

FEEL BETTER? RUMOURS BEGAN-

YEAH, I DO.

STRANGELY ENOUGH.

I FEEL KINDA GUILTY
TALKING TO YOU ACTUALLY.

TAYLOR MADE ME
PROMISE NOT TO TELL

BUT I SAW WHAT HAPPENED
TO CHIP ON THE NEWS

AND I GOT WORRIED.

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

I MEAN, I TRIED CALLING
YOU ON YOUR CELL PHONE

BUT IT WAS OUT
OF ORDER, I GUESS.

YEAH, IT WASN'T THE PHONE,
IT WAS ME.

T.V.:
LAST YEAR IN A VERY
PUBLIC DISPLAY,

TAYLOR'S PARENTS
SEPARATED ACRIMONIOUSLY.

TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS IS
BEST KNOWN AS HACKER,

THE TROUBLE- MAKING ADOPTED
SON ON TV'S FAMILY DIFFERENCES.

OKAY. WHAT'S GOING ON-

I DON'T GET IT.
I REALLY DON'T.

I MEAN, I THOUGHT I WAS
REALLY GETTING THROUGH TO HIM,

AND THEN THIS,
AND HIS MOTHER.

CELEBRITIES ARE...
VERY COMPLICATED.

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN
MORE SENSITIVE.

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING.

HE'S A GOOD ACTOR.

I MEAN, LOOK AT HIM
ON THIS STUPID SITCOM.

HE LOOKS SO HAPPY AND NORMAL,
WITH HIS ADOPTED FAMILY

INSULTING EACH OTHER,
AFFECTIONATELY.

WELL, FAMILY IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO TAYLOR.

HE'S ALWAYS
TALKING ABOUT IT.

I MEAN, HE WANTED TO
BRING ME DOWN THE L.A.

TO MEET HIS FAMILY AND STUFF.

HE WANTS THE PERFECT LIFE.

JUST LIKE ON TV.

I GUESS THE POLICE ARE
GONNA FIND HIM THERE.

WHERE?

HIS DAD'S HOUSE.

I DON'T THINK SO.

YOU UP FOR A TRIP?

WHAT? YOU THINK THEY
HAVE THE WRONG PLACE?

NOPE.

I THINK HE HAS
THE WRONG DAD.

T.V.:
TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS,
CHILD STAR IN CRISIS.

[DOORBELL]

[♪]

[QUIETLY]
GO! GO! GO!

IT APPEARS NOW AS IF
THE DOORBELL HAS FAILED.

POLICE WILL NOW
HAVE NO CHOICE

BUT TO USE FORCE
TO GET INTO THE HOME.

FOR THOSE OF YOU
JUST JOINING US,

WE'RE HERE, ON THIS
BRISK L.A. MORNING,

LIVE AND EXCLUSIVE,

OUTSIDE THE HOME
OF FRESNO BIRNBAUM,

WHO IS BELIEVED
TO HAVE KIDNAPPED HIS SON,

FAMOUS CHILD ACTOR,
TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS.

[DOORBELL]

DAD, SOMEONE'S
AT THE DOOR.

[DOORBELL]

WHOA, WHOA...

ANYBODY ELSE HEAR
THE DOORBELL?

SO?

2-3-4

[♪]

[DOORBELL]

[THUMPING]

LET'S GET IN THERE.
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.

GO GO GO GO!

WE WANT TO HAVE A LOOK HERE,

SEE IF WE CAN GET
INSIDE THE HOME.

NOBODY MOVE! GO.

FRESNO BIRNBAUM,
IDENTIFY YOURSELF.
FRESNO BIRNBAUM.

GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR!
YOU, SIR. YOU, SIR!

[COMMOTION]

MR. BIRNBAUM,
MR. BIRNBAUM,

COULD WE GET A QUICK
WORD WITH YOU, SIR?

WHERE IS THE CHILD?

WHERE'S TAYLOR, SIR?

[DOORBELL]

WELL, WHAT HAVE
WE HERE, PROWLERS?

[GASP]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S YOU.

YES. MORE FABULOUS THAN
YOU IMAGINED, HUH?

YOU MUST BE
THE GIRLFRIEND.

YEAH, I'M HERE
TO SEE TAYLOR.

WELL, HE'S HERE
TO SEE YOU TOO.

SO, MAKE YOURSELF
AT HOME.

OKAY.

AND YOU WOULD BE?

I'M RICK.
I'M THE DRIVER.

RICK, THE DRIVER.

YES, WELL THEN, YOU'LL
BE WAITING IN THE CAR.

I'M MORE THAN
JUST A DRIVER.

HE'S MORE THAN
JUST THE DRIVER!

JESUS, MORE-THAN-
JUST-A-DRIVER IS HERE!

THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.

MMM, YOUNG LOVE.

DOES SHE WANT TO BE
AN ACTRESS, THIS ONE?

SHE WANTS TO BE.

YEAH, DON'T THEY ALL.

WELL, SHE'S GOT
THE LOOK FOR IT.

I HOPE THINGS WORK
OUT FOR TAYLOR.

I HAVE A LOT OF
AFFECTION FOR THESE KIDS

AND NOT FOR THE
REASON YOU'RE THINKING.

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

WANT A DRINK?
LEMONADE, MAI-TAI?

JESUS MAKES A MEAN MOHITO

WHEN I CAN DRAG HIM
AWAY FROM THE POOL.

NO, I'M FINE, THANKS.

SO, MAYBE YOU JUST WANNA
HANG AROUND THE WINDOW

LIKE A COUPLE DIRTY OLD MEN
AND WATCH TEENAGERS MAKE OUT?

GUESS I'VE HAD MY FILL.

OR MAYBE YOU WANNA
SEE SOMEBODY ELSE?

YEAH, MAYBE.

SHE'S DOWN AT THE BEACH.

ONE THING YOU'VE
GOTTA REMEMBER IS,

SHE DID THIS FOR
HER SON, YOU KNOW.

HE'S A BRILLIANT KID, AND SHE
JUST WANTS THE BEST FOR HIM.

THAT'S NOT SO BAD, IS IT?

I KNOW THESE KIDS.

I'VE WORKED WITH THEM.

I SEE WHAT THEY GO THROUGH
AND, BOY, I'LL TELL YOU,

THEY DESERVE WHATEVER
THEY CAN GET.

WHEN THEY HIT PUBERTY,
WE CHEW 'EM UP,

SPIT 'EM OUT AND THEY SPEND
THE REST OF THEIR LIVES

ENTERTAINING US
IN THE TABLOIDS.

THEY'RE THE SACRIFICIAL LAMBS
OF AMERICA, THESE CHILD STARS.

SUFFERING FOR OUR SIN.

IT'S A SHORT TRIP: ONE BRIEF,
GLORIOUS MOMENT IN THE SUN

AND THEN IT'S OVER.

TAYLOR KNOWS THAT,
AND HE'S NERVOUS.

HE'S STARTING TO
GROW PUBIC HAIR.

OH.

ALL RIGHT.
I'LL SHOW YOU THE WAY.

SO, UH...

THIS IS WHAT THEY
CALL A BEACH.

SEEMS THAT WAY.

DO YOU MIND
IF I TRY IT OUT?

I DUNNO.

I CAN'T SAY I'M NOT A
LITTLE DISAPPOINTED.

WITH THE BEACH?

NO, NO.
THE BEACH IS FINE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT US.

I'M SORRY I LEFT YOU
BLEEDING ON THE HIGHWAY.

NO, THAT'S NOT IT.

YOU THINK THAT'S
WHAT I'M UPSET ABOUT?

WELL, IT WOULD
UPSET SOME PEOPLE.

NO, I'M UPSET BECAUSE YOU
DIDN'T FEEL YOU COULD TRUST ME.

I KNEW THEY'D ASK A
LOT OF QUESTIONS AND...

YOUR IGNORANCE WAS
YOUR PROTECTION.

AND ANYWAY, I DIDN'T
THINK YOU'D UNDERSTAND.

WHAT? THAT IT WAS
ALL ABOUT MONEY?

THAT YOU USED YOUR
SON'S DISAPPEARANCE

TO RENEGOTIATE
HIS CONTRACT?

TAYLOR'S CONTRACT
WAS CHILD ABUSE.

HIS AGENCY PACKAGED
THE WHOLE MOVIE.

IT WAS THEIR PRODUCER, THEIR
DIRECTOR, THEIR WRITER.

NO ONE WAS FIGHTING
FOR TAYLOR'S INTERESTS

SO, YOU KNOW, I DID.

SO, YOU HELD YOUR
SON FOR RANSOM.

OH, THAT IS
SO MELODRAMATIC.

I SAW AN OPPORTUNITY
AND I TOOK IT.

TO PUT PRESSURE
ON THE PRODUCTION?

BUT YOU
BLACKMAILED THEM.

CAN'T THEY SUE?

NO, 'CAUSE THEY
DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

I MEAN, AS FAR AS
THEY'RE CONCERNED,

IT'S JUST A
KID ACTING OUT.

YEAH, UNLESS
I TELL THEM.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

WELL, MAYBE I SEE
WHAT'S HAPPENING

AND HOW IT'S
AFFECTING TAYLOR

AND MAYBE I WANNA TELL
PEOPLE WHAT'S GOING ON.

OR MAYBE YOU WANT TO
WORK IN THE INDUSTRY.

YEAH. MAYBE I DO.

[APPLAUSE]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR
COMING OUT

FOR TONIGHT'S SPECIAL
GALA SCREENING.

WE SHOT THE FILM
HERE IN TORONTO.

WE LOVED IT.

AND WE'RE THRILLED
TO BE BACK HERE AGAIN

FOR THE WORLD PREMIERE.

THANKS TO THE FESTIVAL FOR
BRINGING US FULL CIRCLE.

SO BEFORE TONIGHT'S
SCREENING OF THE FIRST SON,

WE HAVE A SPECIAL TREAT.

[APPLAUSE]

TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS
IS NOT ONLY A STAR

AND QUITE FRANKLY THE FINEST
ACTOR OF HIS GENERATION,

BUT ALSO A
LOVER OF THE ARTS.

WHEN I TOOK OVER AS
PRODUCER OF THE FIRST SON,

[CLEARS THROAT]

HE CAME TO ME
AND HE ASKED ME,

IF HE COULD SHOW A SHORT
FILM BEFORE THE FEATURE.

AND LEMME TELL YOU,

WHEN TAYLOR BRANDON BURNS ASKS
FOR SOMETHING, IT HAPPENS.

[LAUGHTER]

SO, UH, LET ME INTRODUCE THE
DIRECTOR IF THE, UH, "SHORT",

RICK SCHILLER, OR, AS WE
KNOW HIM, RICK THE DRIVER.

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

UH... HI.

NICE TO SEE SO MANY
FAMILIAR FACES.

IMPORTANT PEOPLE
IN THE INDUSTRY.

ACTUALLY, I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS
ABOUT SHOWING YOU THIS FILM.

SOME OF YOU MIGHT FIND
IT A LITTLE UPSETTING...

OK, LET'S GET ON
WITH IT, TODAY.

...A FEW WORDS ABOUT
WHERE THE IDEA CAME FROM,

AND WHY I FELT IT WAS
SOMETHING I HAD TO DO.

I KNOW, I KNOW, I HATE THOSE
DIRECTORS WHO DRONE ON AND ON

INTRODUCING THEIR FILMS,

SUCKING ALL THE
LIFE OUT OF THE ROOM

AND I PROMISED MYSELF
WOULD NEVER DO THAT,

BUT, IN THIS CASE-JUST START THE MOVIE!

YOUR INTRODUCTION IS
LONGER THAN YOUR FILM.

[LAUGHTER]

OK, I'LL START.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY,
THANK YOU, TAYLOR,

FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

AND TO SAY THAT...

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU.

AND FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO
FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS.

THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

ALL RIGHT, WELL,
THANK YOU FOR THAT.

UM, AH, ALL RIGHT,
LET'S START THE MOVIE.

ENJOY.

[APPLAUSE]

[♪]

NO RESPONSIBLE ADULT

WOULD ENCOURAGE A
CHILD TO MAKE MOVIES.

TURN OFF THE CAMERA.

TURN IT OFF.

BULLSEYE!

WOW, WHERE'D YOU LEARN
TO SHOOT LIKE THAT?

I DUNNO, PLAYING
VIDEO GAMES, I GUESS.

HEY, JEFF-FART-SON!

UH-OH.

WELL WELL,
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

THE FIRST SON,
WITH A BOW AND ARROW?

WHAT OF IT, CHAD?

I THOUGHT YOUR FATHER
WAS AGAINST THE CITIZEN'S
RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS!

YEAH, WELL, HE MAY BE TRYING
TO PASS A GUN CONTROL BILL

BUT HE NEVER SAID
ANYTHING ABOUT ARCHERY,

SO BACK OFF, OR I'LL USE YOUR
FAT HEAD FOR TARGET PRACTICE!

WATCH YOUR BACK,
JEFFERSON GLENN!

JUST BECAUSE YOUR
DAD'S THE PRESIDENT,

DOESN'T MEAN I
CAN'T KICK YOUR ASS!

IT'S IN THE CONSTITUTION!

WOW, THAT WAS AWESOME,
JEFFERSON!

BUT AREN'T YOU SCARED?

NAW, WE'VE JUST GOT TO
GET HIM BEFORE HE GETS US.

HE'S JUST A
RIGHT-WING BLOWHARD.

A BLOWHARD WHO CAN BEAT
THE CRAP OUT OF YOU.

WAIT, DID YOU SAY CRAP?

THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA...

C'MON, LET'S GO!

ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA DROP A
LOAD, AND WHEN I GET BACK...

LET'S PUNK THAT BRAT!!

[LAUGHTER]
RIGHT ON, MAN!

IS THE TARGET
IN POSITION?

YEAH, HE'S BEGUN
HIS OFFENSIVE!

READY...

1... 2... 3!

[EXPLOSION]

[SCREAM]

[LAUGHTER]

[♪]

JEFFERSON, I DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

I'M TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED.

IT WAS A PRANK, SIR.

YOU BLEW UP THE LATRINE.

IT WAS A PRE-EMPTIVE ATTACK!

CHAD WAS AN IMMINENT THREAT.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR
YOUR EXCUSES, JEFFERSON.

SUMMER CAMP IS ALL ABOUT
PEACE, AND FRIENDSHIP.

AND PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER.

THAT'S WHAT CAMP
DAVID IS ALL ABOUT.

I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO
HAVE TO CALL YOUR FATHER.

GOOD LUCK TRYING TO
GET HIM ON THE PHONE.

HE'S ALWAYS BUSY WITH WORK,
AN INTERNATIONAL CRISIS,
OR SOMETHING.

HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ME.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT,
JEFFERSON. WE'LL SEE.

[♪]

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT.

AS PRESIDENT OF THIS
GREAT NATION OF AMERICA,

I AM THE BOSS.

AND RAISING A NATION IS VERY
MUCH LIKE RAISING A FAMILY.

YOU NEED INFINITE PATIENCE.[CELL PHONE RINGS]

...AND RAISING A NATION IS VERY
MUCH LIKE RAISING A FAMILY.

YOU NEED INFINITE PA--[COMMOTION]

DAMN IT O'CONNOR, I'M TRYING
TO GIVE A PRESIDENTIAL
ADDRESS HERE.

SORRY SIR,
BUT IT'S CAMP DAVID.

YOUR SON'S COUNCILOR
IS ON THE LINE

IT SEEMS HIS PRANKS
HAVE GONE TOO FAR.

[♪]

GIVE ME THE DAMN PHONE...

PRESIDENT SPEAKING...
