How does this make us better actors?
It loosens you up. Prepares you for the unexpected in a scene.
Gets you out of your head.
Kyndie got accepted in the class.
Me too.
Gene doesn't let just anyone in.
You must have really impressed him with your mono.
Thanks.
Folks,
Ryan Madison
is dead.
Alright, everyone. Everyone...
focus.
Focus.
Now I wish that I could say that this was the first time
that one of my students was gunned down in the street but it's not.
And as much as it pains me to say it,
it is most likely not the last.
So, where do we go from here? I say
We do what Ryan would have wanted us to do and we use it.
I'm sorry, Mr. Cousineau, what's that mean: "Use it"?
Use Ryan's death.
The way that you are feeling right this second.
The sorrow, the rage,
the terror.
You know, I use my past all the time, in my work.
If I want pure sorrow,
I call up Princess Diana's death.
or the day that my Dad fell off the roof when I was a kid.
Kerplunk!
Or the next day when he went right back up on that roof.
Hi, Dad.
I just thought since everyone was so
bummed out, maybe we could cheer ourselves by
playing characters and puttin' on some wigs?
Wigs? Well,
This is not playtime, Barry. No...
This is not Cheers. I am not Sam Malone.
You want to blow off steam? You do it after class.
No, I know that. No, I'm actually quitting my job so I can, um...
focus on this more. That is great.
Total commitment.
I'm next! You don't think I know. I know I'm next
You probably are next.
We're all still very raw. So, I say class dismissed.
Go home and I encourage you to journal all of your emotions,
all of your feelings but
even though we're not acting, we're still learning to act.
This class counts.
Stepping away from the class is, in itself, a lesson.
So that there are no rain checks is my point.
Ok, everyone pays full boat for today.
Ok, so we got 2 DB's in the BMW still waitin' on ID
But they look Russian or Chechen. Someone from Gang Unit joining us on this?
Semico is on his way. Ok.
Now, there was a third guy in the passenger seat
but he was luckier than his buddies because it looks like he got away.
And in the Ford, there was this poor Ryan Madison.
Wait. Is Detective Loach... Is he cryin'?
Look, look, look, look! He is definitely cryin'
Wait, he's cryin' at all of these.
You didn't hear? Uh uh.
He and Diana broke up.
They did? Yeah.
Inside a year?
Shit! I just won 300 bucks.
That's cold. Oh, please!
He's a homicide detective and she's a human being.That shit don't last.
Plus, if the Department had wanted him to have a wife,
They'd have issued him one.
Any neighbors with security cameras? No, but...
There was a tiny camera in the car. The car? What's that mean? Which car?
The BMW.
So...
you find a camera in the vic's BMW and you're just not tellin' me about it.
I mean, it took 20 minutes to even figure out it was a camera
and like, I thought it was a crazy marijuana pipe.
I thought it was a laser. Yeah, Rob thought it was a laser.
Everyone listen! I think we need to do something
for Ryan. We should have a memorial tonight.
Great idea, we can have it my apartment... We'll have it at Jake's.
If my friend Juan's bartending tonight, we'll get a deal.
That's great, I love that, actually. Speak! Sing!
Perform a scene that Ryan did in class. Whatever you think Ryan would have liked.
I'll put a sign up on the class Facebook page so
check it for details. Thank you.
I'm not on Facebook.
These subtitles fucking suck.
Why are they in a forest?
Oh, I know what that kid's gonna do.
I've never seen someone be happy and angry at the same time.
Brought to you by wolf attacking a horse.
I feel bad for that horse. Yeah.
Hey, you got my video? Yeah, it's on the camera.
Yeah, I know it's on the camera. You're supposed to get it off the camera.
We need to order an adapter. No, go buy an adapter.
There's like 50 Russian electronic stores in Glendale.
Also, Loach and his wife split up, so you owe me 50 bucks each, remember?
Moss? Guys?
How we doin'? No, Loach, how you doin'?
What?
Yes? Fuches, it's me.
Hey.
Hold on, hold on.
Fuches, what are you still doin' here/ We gotta go.
No, no, no. I'm not going. I told you to go.
I'm not goin' anywhere, bud. This is war.
Those Chechens double crossed us. I mean, they hired you to do a job
and then they try to kill you! No, no, no.
I told them you have a process. Listen, Fuches, I talked to Pazer...
and he told me that if you leave town,
he'll sweep this whole thing under the rug.
Really.
No, no, he didn't say that. I don't know why I just said that.
What you said, cause you're tryin' to protect me.
and I appreciate that, Barry. But you know what?
I've been goin' through some combat scenarios of this
video game here and I don't know,
I think, based on my research,
God, we could take them. You know, I'll be here...
in the Command Center and you'll be, you'll be out there.
in the field, you know, killin' all of Pazer's guys and
together man, together. We will fuck them back.
Listen, Fuches, this is not about the guys in that house, alright?
There's a whole organization out there, ok?
There's probably still more back in Chechnya
You're right.
You're right. We can't outgun these dudes. We...
We leave.
Yes. Well, actually, no.
You'll leave...
and I'll stay and face the music.
You want me to get out of here for my own safety,
then leave you here with the Chechens. No, uh uh.
No, I googled Chechnya and bro,
they're crazy.
Fuches...
It's my mess.
Let me deal with it.
Ok, but then you get on a plane.
You come back to Cleveland and we'll go back to work,
just like before.
Yes.
What the fuck are you guys doing? In-house.
Where's my video?
You'd need a code to unlock it. Yeah.
Everything was going smoothly until we got to this screen.
So you just stopped when you saw this.
Well, we were researching possible ways to unlock it and ended up
goin' down a little K-hole. Ok.
How many possible codes could there be?
4 digits, so a lot...
We're trying to get in contact with the manufacturer now.
Ok, come on, move, move, move! That could take months.
Alright, first, first, you try 0001
Alright? Then we know it's not 0001.
Next, you do... Right? Not 0002
Ok, you go on to
What the hell? I think you just locked it.
Did you know that was going to happen and you let me do that?
We didn't want you to yell at us.
Alright, now...
Now, I'm gonna have to call the FBI.
These guys are assholes.
Hi!
You know why everything went to hell, right?
That fucking hug!
You got too close to your mark. It put you off your game.
It's like when I was a cook in the Army. I never named my chickens, I just...
See, you never experienced any fallout from your job, Barry.
I've been protecting you from that. Now, you gonna be alright without me?
I'm gonna be great. We need to go.
I swore an oath to your Dad that I wouldn't let the world walk all over you.
It's repayment for him savin' my ass in 'Nam.
During 'Nam. During 'Nam. Fine, whatever.
A barracks in Connecticut in the late '60's, that was a real place.
Uh, I gotta take this. I think I might have won something.
Alright.
Hello? Hey, Barry. Hey, it's Sally.
Hey, how you doin'?
Hey, the Ryan thing's not canceled, is it?
No, it's still on.
Oh, oh, great. I mean not great but
Thank God. Yeah, so I wanted to ask you
I was so concerned with making sure everyone else had a spot that
I didn't give myself anything. Oh, no!
Yeah, so you can totally say no
but would you want to do a scene with me tonight?
You want to do a scene with me?
Yeah, well, everyone else has something, so...
Oh, yeah, absolutely! What's the scene?
Celeste united with Ryan.
It'll be weird not
doing it with him but I felt like my performance was self-contained.
Have you seen "Doubt"?
It's this movie where Meryl Streep is a nun and she makes
Philip Seymour Hoffman, whose a priest admit he's been molesting little boys
It's amazing. It sounds amazing.
You'd be the priest.
No, it totally makes sense. I'd love to play a priest
that's molesting little boys.
Do we, like, practice or something or.. Yes.
Meet me at 6:30 at Jake's. A half hour before the show.
I'll bring your pages and your wardrobe
and we can run it a few times. You don't have to be off-book.
Great! Great. Ok, thanks.
Awesome. Ok, bye.
Siri, what is "off-book"?
Freeze, cowboy!
Showing 2 results for "off-book freeze cowboy".
You couldn't fuckin' hear me!
I was screamin' at you! What The fuck?
I was on the phone. Ha!
You know, Barry,
I have to be honest.
I'm quite a bit angry,
but I'm going to put that aside for now because rage is counterproductive.
Yes. And I know if the situation were reversed,
I probably would have done same thing you did.
You did do what I did. You tried to kill me.
Ok, well now, we're getting a little He said/She said.
Ah, ok, so, Barry...
so...
After you finished shooting me, right?
and, um, I had lost consciousness.
Did you perhaps take something out of the car?
No. No?
Like, specifically, off the dashboard, maybe?
No.
Small blinking item?
Well, you didn't bring that fucking lipstick camera with you, did you?
What? No! That would be super crazy, huh?
This conversation never happened, ok? Hey, Goran,
That ain't Fuches?
On the silver plate.
You did not think I would find you?
You killed 2 of my men. One of them...
"Lucky"
was best Chechen assassin.sin
He wasn't that great. Hey,
You put me in big fucking bind, Barry!
Lucky, he have job to do tonight.
He was to take out guy who give us some...
confidential information.
About a Bolivian stash house. Shut the fuck up!
Now I make calls to my family
and they are sending someone to take Lucky's place, but
who knows how long that will take.
This hit is...
This hit is urgent.
No way. Why not?
Why would I work for you, man? You double crossed me.
I don't like it when people do that.
That's water under bridge. Have one of these guys do it.
They are not assassins. They are muscle.
Big difference. Well, have Hank do it.
You fucked him up! Yeah, yeah, this arm is bullshit
Alright, well...
what about that guy?
Vascha?
He is fucking freak.
You see this apron?
Why is he wearing that?
He doesn't need to be wearing that.
No, he's too...
self consciously scary. He's just a lot, you know.
It's like... we get it. No, no, no. I, eh,...
I want you to do it, Barry. He wants you to do it, Barry.
I don't want to do this anymore.
You, you, you don't what? I, I, I, I don't do this anymore
I don't want to do it.
Lucky, man you kill, was Vascha's brother.
Vascha was crying all day.
It was very fucking annoying.
Hey, tell him to stop. Hey! Goran!
He stops when you agree to job. He's gonna file my fuckin' teeth. Say yes!
I can't. I'm sorry but I can't.
Hey, hey! Tell him to stop! Goran, tell him to stop!
Tell him to stop!
My daughter is having sleepover and we are being too loud.
Vascha, nosh!
Alright. Yes or we kill him now.
Please, please.
Fine, I'll do it. That's... This is it. No more jobs.
This is it, this is the only one. You understand me?
Hey! We hold on to Fuches until it's done.
So get to it. Let me just tell you something.
If you, if you, hurt him
anymore. If you, if you kill him or anything.,
I'll come back here and I'll kill every single one of you.
You understand me?
He cares about Fuches. That's just nice.
Barry?
You're going to get right on this, right?
Yes.
You have to stop this campaign against me.
You can. How?
Confess.
Why are trying to attempt that you are trying to attempt to destroy my reputation?
What's wrong? This is really serious.
It is serious.
You see, I think I misunderstood you on the phone. I thought
this was, like, supposed to be funny.
A, a man molesting children? Yeah, like how Family Guy is funny.
I just don't know what it's like to be a...
child molester, so I don't know if I could play one, you know.
Oh, no! No, you don't have to know what that's like.
No, you just have to know what it's like to hurt somebody.
So just, you know, think of a time when you hurt someone and use that.
Whoops! Ok, not the john. I'm sorry. Wait!
What are you doing? Are you doing "Doubt"?
Oh, let's not do "Doubt".
But it's the last scene that Ryan and I did together.
The class loved it, remember?
I just don't think we should evoke child molestation at a memorial.
Please, Gene. Ryan would have wanted this. Hey, you know what...
it's totally up to you. I gotta pee!
Maybe we shouldn't do this. Oh, don't worry about him.
The scene will blossom. This scene always works.
From the top.
Webster's Dictionary defines death as "a permanent cessation of all vital functions".
It defines remember as "to bring to mind or think of again".
So, even though Ryan's vital functions have ceased,
if we think of him, he will always be with us.
I'm going to perform an audition that Ryan helped me with.
Here is Cop #2:
Get on the fucking ground!
Eat dirt, bitch!
I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy A Yankee Doodle do or die
Miss you, Ryan. Givin' up smoking is easy...
I should know, I've done it thousands of times.
This life and death phenomenon is commonplace and mundane.
In class, I'm Eric, but y'all can call me unchained.
I cannot contain this hurt I'm explainin'
I'm gonna miss this actor slash personal trainer
It's absurd and insane In rehearsals he slayed
a mirror up to nature, every person he played.
He gave me 5 bucks to go to DelTaco.
He used to be alive but now he's not, yo!
Where are you at, right now? I'm at a bar with you.
No. No, i meant. Alright.
It'll be fine.
Antonio, that was something.
Now, before we bring up our last act,
I'd like to introduce you to a guest speaker.
He came all the way from Wisconsin.
He wants to meet you...
to express his gratitude
and to grieve.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ryan's father, George Crimph.
When my son, Ryan, told me he wanted to be an actor,
I thought he was crazy.
But after seeing this lovely show you all put on here,
I am so grateful that he was surrounded by such a loving community.
So good.
Who would do this to my boy?
Hey, hey, Barry, what the... Do you not want to do the scene or...
I've never been around for something like that, you know.
Yeah, I know, I know. That was, that was intense.
It's just that I've never seen that.
You know, like, the guy lost his son, you know.
Hey, Barry, it's ok.
No, this is a good thing.
These feelings that you're having right now, these are the pains in your acting toolbox.
But that's what this class is about. You know, getting to that...
taking that apart and dealing with it.
It's called being human.
That's what acting is.
I don't know if I can do that. We'll help you.
Look, come on back in.
Come on!
Come on.
Look, I'm fine with not doing the scene, you know.
It's really all Father Flynn anyway. Meryl Streep's just the straight man.
To Ryan.
He loved it here.
I mean, I'm glad we didn't do it.
I mean, who wants to follow a father talking about his murdered son.
I mean, it's a no-win situation. Not fair to us.
How about you?
Are you ok? Yeah.
No, yeah. Thank you for that talk.That was good.
Lookin' forward to puttin' some paint on the toolbox
When I first started in this class, I was very overwhelmed.
But then I saw everyone else perform and I was like, oh.
And then it was easier.
So what's your deal?
What's my deal? Yeah.
You're like a weird nut I can't crack.
I am? Yeah.
This is a mistake. It is?
It's always a mistake, we shouldn't do this.
What? Sleep with each other.
I know it seems like we should but trust me,
I've been through this a million times and it's always a mess.
So, I just... I
I don't think we should.
Even if we want to. Yeah, I wasn't thinking that.
Oh.
Cool.
So, do you want in and talk about why we shouldn't do it?
No, I just wanted to walk you to your door.
But thanks for everything tonight.
Thank you.
And I'll see you in class.
Goodnight. Goodnight.
