Hold it. Stop the music, there.

What's with the sappy music and the dancing?

I don't do pathos, and I can't dance.

Don't ask me.

Wait a minute.

You look familiar. Unappealing, but familiar.

Aunt Slappy, that's the director,

Charlton Woodchuck.

Baynarts?

What are you doing here, you old son of a hack?

It's Charlton.

It's written in my contract that when I was old enough,

I'd get to direct.

Yeah, Skippy has the same deal.

Love ya, babe, but we're losing our light.

What's with six minutes of opening a walnut?

Don't you see? It's a parable about man against nature.

The nut represents the struggle to achieve our goals.

There. My goal is achieved.

[SIGHS]

Let me put it this way, Sloppy--

It's Slappy, Baynarts.

That's Charlton.

Either you do this script or you don't get paid.

Hit it, maestro.

Hey, von Stroheim,

there's no nut inside this shell.

Yes. Exactly.

It's the emptiness of our existence.

That's symbolism. That's metaphor.

Yeah, but that's not comedy.

Now there's a nut inside.

Now that's comedy!

You're adorable, but that's my line.
