1
00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:07,256
Now allow your mind and body
2
00:00:07,257 --> 00:00:11,261
to be still as we take
a purifying breath in...
3
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:14,389
and out.
4
00:00:15,098 --> 00:00:19,519
And again, calming breath in,
releasing out.
5
00:00:19,769 --> 00:00:22,772
One more breath in and out.
6
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:27,901
- Allow any tensions in your body to--
- What?
7
00:00:27,902 --> 00:00:30,947
Dan, the new producer
just called an emergency meeting.
8
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:33,825
Emergency meeting is in 25 minutes.
9
00:00:34,451 --> 00:00:37,161
Great! Fuck! Terrible, bye.
10
00:00:37,162 --> 00:00:42,876
...to gently float away
as we go again, in and out.
11
00:00:43,501 --> 00:00:46,671
Can you feel the tension
just melting away...
12
00:00:46,796 --> 00:00:47,797
Fu--
13
00:00:47,922 --> 00:00:51,009
God, these scripts are heavy.
Probably because they're so great.
14
00:00:52,177 --> 00:00:55,346
Emergency, all-hands.
I hope it's not a firing squad.
15
00:00:55,347 --> 00:00:58,223
- Are you worried it's a firing squad?
- Literally never crossed my mind.
16
00:00:58,224 --> 00:00:59,642
Smart. Don't overthink it.
17
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:02,227
Like the script.
If anything, underthink it.
18
00:01:02,228 --> 00:01:03,520
I've seen it a million times, Dag.
19
00:01:03,521 --> 00:01:05,689
Speed up, spend less, yada.
It's just the biz.
20
00:01:05,690 --> 00:01:07,983
The biz. Like short for business.
21
00:01:07,984 --> 00:01:10,445
Did you coin that?
I've literally never heard that before.
22
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:12,447
Pre-dawn emergency meeting?
23
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:15,157
Am I to be stripped and flogged
in front of my fucking props department?
24
00:01:15,158 --> 00:01:17,326
And if it's a spanking,
in a breakout room, please.
25
00:01:17,327 --> 00:01:19,286
- Breakout spanking.
- Look, Eric, this is good.
26
00:01:19,287 --> 00:01:21,706
It shows she's invested in the movie,
in your vision.
27
00:01:21,831 --> 00:01:24,334
Meeting's canceled.
New producer just canceled it.
28
00:01:24,751 --> 00:01:25,752
Sorry, what?
29
00:01:26,336 --> 00:01:28,463
Mind games. Bravo.
30
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:32,216
- What is happening, Daniel?
- Guys, it's called ghosting.
31
00:01:32,217 --> 00:01:33,843
Game recognize game?
32
00:01:35,178 --> 00:01:36,179
All right, listen up.
33
00:01:37,681 --> 00:01:39,599
Do not panic.
34
00:01:40,350 --> 00:01:41,851
It's a stunt day, big technical day,
35
00:01:42,143 --> 00:01:44,645
and we're gonna execute this
and show her how good we are.
36
00:01:44,646 --> 00:01:46,815
We're craftspeople,
our director's a visionary.
37
00:01:47,273 --> 00:01:48,400
Forward cinema.
38
00:01:49,943 --> 00:01:50,944
Thank you.
39
00:01:53,154 --> 00:01:56,448
- Should we be clapping?
- Stephanie, bring my buggy around.
40
00:01:56,449 --> 00:01:59,368
And arrange me a rapid response haircut.
This is serious.
41
00:01:59,369 --> 00:02:02,037
Dan, would now be a good time
to talk about career progressions?
42
00:02:02,038 --> 00:02:04,289
Everything's exploding
at a million miles an hour,
43
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:07,209
and the movie is a scrotum
resting on a razor's edge.
44
00:02:07,210 --> 00:02:09,045
Got it. So, maybe, like, in an hour?
45
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:13,048
- Daniel. Hey, what's happening?
- It's all good, mate. It's all good.
46
00:02:13,049 --> 00:02:14,633
Great, mate. Hey, what's happening?
47
00:02:14,634 --> 00:02:16,260
Yeah, no, it's all great.
We're just forwards.
48
00:02:16,261 --> 00:02:19,222
Yeah, but what is happening?
Like literally, what is happening?
49
00:02:19,347 --> 00:02:21,807
- New producer, are we being X-rayed?
- Absolutely not.
50
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:23,517
Because X-ray shows up something weird,
51
00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:26,186
you cut out the tumor,
and you replace it with Kit Harington.
52
00:02:26,187 --> 00:02:27,897
- Or one of the SkarsgÄrds.
- Which one?
53
00:02:28,189 --> 00:02:30,107
- I don't mind.
- Adam, mate, this is not about you.
54
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:31,609
It has nothing to do with my body shape?
55
00:02:32,569 --> 00:02:34,195
I know I Dorito-ed myself.
56
00:02:34,779 --> 00:02:37,406
Dorito-ed myself, bigger on top,
tapering down to a skinnier leg.
57
00:02:37,407 --> 00:02:41,118
But please tell our new producer
that I am prioritizing squats and lunges.
58
00:02:41,119 --> 00:02:45,414
- Dude, the studio loves your legs.
- Oh, high fives for that guy's thighs.
59
00:02:45,415 --> 00:02:48,709
Great, 'cause don't believe everything
you read online, especially WikiLegs.
60
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:51,087
- Do not look up that site.
- Morning, cunts.
61
00:02:51,212 --> 00:02:52,629
- Hello!
- Headlamps on,
62
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:54,549
ready for another day down the gold mine.
63
00:02:54,716 --> 00:02:56,676
Yes, Peter. All right, let's go. Okay.
64
00:02:56,968 --> 00:03:02,014
Poor pathetic little prick,
holding it together, but he knows.
65
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:06,644
New producer airdrops in.
He's auditioning for his job. You all are.
66
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:08,897
But obviously not me. I'm just number two.
67
00:03:09,230 --> 00:03:11,232
Call sheet and my mother agree.
68
00:03:11,358 --> 00:03:13,735
I'm second best.
See you out there, number one.
69
00:03:13,985 --> 00:03:15,778
Just so you're hearing it
so that you've heard it,
70
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:18,238
new producer is canceling
80 of our Moss Men for today.
71
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:21,617
- Mind games part two. Boom.
- Okay, she's sending a message.
72
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:25,329
How much can we take before we squeal?
Scrooge McFuck.
73
00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:27,749
So how many extras do we have
for the big crowd shot now?
74
00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:28,875
Five.
75
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,250
Eric's not gonna like that.
76
00:03:30,251 --> 00:03:31,794
I'm not gonna like that.
I don't like that.
77
00:03:31,795 --> 00:03:34,130
Great. I'll let the trades know.
78
00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:36,591
Rude.
79
00:03:50,021 --> 00:03:54,025
Stunt day! All eyeballs on me.
Will he make it? Will he cave?
80
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:57,404
Will an actual man die? Yes, no, and no.
81
00:03:58,113 --> 00:04:01,740
Everyone's freaking out, Dag.
Watch as I neutralize the mass panic.
82
00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:02,992
Xanax Man!
83
00:04:03,118 --> 00:04:05,452
I'm being asked to remind you,
Peter's spine.
84
00:04:05,453 --> 00:04:07,705
He's only good for three launches, contractually.
85
00:04:07,706 --> 00:04:11,875
Okay, three goes!
Peter's spine is good for three goes!
86
00:04:11,876 --> 00:04:14,212
- Peter's spinal X-rays, if that helps.
- It doesn't.
87
00:04:14,421 --> 00:04:16,797
Back in your box,
please, Bryson. Eric, sir!
88
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:19,342
Loving the haircut.
A sharp cut for a sharp mind.
89
00:04:19,467 --> 00:04:22,469
Daniel, I stayed up till 5:00 a.m.,
90
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:24,805
redrawing storyboards
for the Jackhammer escape.
91
00:04:24,806 --> 00:04:27,017
Eric, don't panic.
We're going to hold the course.
92
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:29,351
Oh, my God, that's amazing.
93
00:04:29,352 --> 00:04:31,854
"A crowd of Moss People
stretched to the horizon."
94
00:04:31,855 --> 00:04:34,107
Daniel... I have five.
95
00:04:35,734 --> 00:04:37,526
- And it's bullshit.
- I'll make it work, okay?
96
00:04:37,527 --> 00:04:39,237
I'm going to make a crowd of five
look like 5,000.
97
00:04:39,362 --> 00:04:41,531
Loaves and fishes, but for people.
98
00:04:41,656 --> 00:04:44,450
- Loaves and people.
- Very nice!
99
00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:45,617
"The director's cut."
100
00:04:45,618 --> 00:04:47,829
It's funnier every time.
Thank you, Stephanie.
101
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:50,915
Hello. Number two
checking in for business.
102
00:04:51,374 --> 00:04:53,793
So, how are you up on the wires,
number one?
103
00:04:54,085 --> 00:04:55,294
Wonderful. Thank you, Peter.
104
00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:58,589
Because one can look flaccid
if one's not careful,
105
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:00,758
bobbing around like astronaut cock.
106
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:03,927
Well, my movement coach
is from Zagreb's foremost ballet, so...
107
00:05:03,928 --> 00:05:05,472
How many ballets do they have?
108
00:05:07,349 --> 00:05:08,350
Ready?
109
00:05:09,225 --> 00:05:12,061
Question on Mollusk Man, it's five minutes
each time he needs the bathroom.
110
00:05:12,062 --> 00:05:14,522
So, we could fit him with a bag
or we do the diaper.
111
00:05:15,690 --> 00:05:17,358
- Diaper?
- Nappy. The adult nappy.
112
00:05:17,359 --> 00:05:19,902
We've checked and they do come
in his size from Belgium.
113
00:05:19,903 --> 00:05:22,530
- Big, big diaper.
- Sounds like my kind of diaper.
114
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:25,449
Less comfortable, and it will limit
his range of movement,
115
00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:28,452
especially when sodden.
Plus, only a $300 saving.
116
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:30,496
Well, less pleasant for all involved,
the diaper, no?
117
00:05:30,497 --> 00:05:32,248
It's a saving in terms of playing ball.
118
00:05:32,457 --> 00:05:34,249
Shows we're not afraid
to make the tough decisions.
119
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:35,376
For labor reasons,
120
00:05:35,377 --> 00:05:37,837
Shane can't know about the diaper,
but off the record...
121
00:05:38,254 --> 00:05:41,591
- Okay, let's have him diapered.
- Happy to nappy.
122
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,677
"I'm ready for my diaper, Mr. DeMille."
123
00:05:44,886 --> 00:05:45,887
Very good.
124
00:05:47,555 --> 00:05:49,140
- Okay, stunt rehearsal?
- Yeah.
125
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:51,558
Stunt rehearsal, everyone on their A-game!
126
00:05:51,559 --> 00:05:54,186
Remember, we are top-drawer professionals,
127
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:55,313
- thank you!
- Let's do it!
128
00:05:55,438 --> 00:05:57,482
- Eric, sir.
- Okay. And so...
129
00:05:58,441 --> 00:06:01,111
"The Jackhammer Escape." Moss Men swarm.
130
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:05,489
Tecto produces his Invisible Jackhammer
and both of you blast off to freedom.
131
00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:07,450
Running in the Invisible Jackhammer.
132
00:06:08,118 --> 00:06:10,954
Two words, no words. Third word, wow.
133
00:06:13,915 --> 00:06:14,916
Great.
134
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:19,421
My God, I am so blessed!
135
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:22,674
Front row seats
for the Invisible Jackhammer.
136
00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:25,677
Standing here, watching you jacking off.
137
00:06:28,179 --> 00:06:30,223
Yeah. Do you have the concept art?
138
00:06:30,473 --> 00:06:31,474
Absolutely.
139
00:06:33,601 --> 00:06:36,896
Great, and how invisible is this thing?
140
00:06:37,022 --> 00:06:39,565
It's totally invisible.
Obviously, you will see it.
141
00:06:39,566 --> 00:06:42,402
Okay, I got it. I'm sorry, I don't got it.
142
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:45,822
It's like an air wobble.
143
00:06:46,281 --> 00:06:48,533
It would be nothing, but solid, yes?
144
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:50,827
- Okay, no, no.
- It's...
145
00:06:51,369 --> 00:06:53,913
the outline... like glass.
146
00:06:54,164 --> 00:06:57,667
Yes, but is glass invisible?
147
00:06:59,210 --> 00:07:01,212
My dog once walked into a patio door,
if that helps.
148
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:04,214
- Is it okay?
- Quiet, please.
149
00:07:04,215 --> 00:07:06,634
Number one is
pretending to be on a drill...
150
00:07:07,552 --> 00:07:09,720
- which is invisible.
- Hey, props!
151
00:07:09,721 --> 00:07:13,098
Props, can I have my Tecto Sonic Blockers?
152
00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:15,309
- Locating Sonic Blockers.
- Locating Sonic Blockers!
153
00:07:15,310 --> 00:07:18,188
Are you sure about this?
The Invisible Jackhammer?
154
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:20,856
I thought it would look cool,
but it doesn't.
155
00:07:20,857 --> 00:07:23,776
Well, that's invaluable input,
Mr. Spielberg. Thank you.
156
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:26,154
- Running in Sonic Blockers.
- Thanks.
157
00:07:27,072 --> 00:07:29,783
- I'm going to say something. Excuse me?
- I will genuinely incapacitate you.
158
00:07:29,908 --> 00:07:30,908
Yeah.
159
00:07:30,909 --> 00:07:32,243
- The hair.
- Just need a second with it, but--
160
00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:33,577
- Yeah, the hair.
- Hair!
161
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:35,245
- Fix the hair.
- Hair. Fix the hair.
162
00:07:35,246 --> 00:07:36,331
Fixing the hair.
163
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:38,916
If they're doing something wrong,
surely we have to say.
164
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:41,210
No. Dag, we don't have an opinion, okay?
165
00:07:41,211 --> 00:07:43,713
We just keep the trains running.
Who cares what's on them?
166
00:07:43,838 --> 00:07:46,799
- Potatoes, Christmas presents.
- Dissidents, trafficked children.
167
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,594
That's not what it is though, is it?
Ours is not to reason why, Dag.
168
00:07:50,595 --> 00:07:52,554
Can I at least have some headphones
so that I can hear?
169
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:54,682
- Headphones? Are you for fucking real?
- Still fixing the hair.
170
00:07:54,683 --> 00:07:56,725
I didn't get my first pair of headphones
for six years!
171
00:07:56,726 --> 00:07:58,770
- Okay.
- You see Mike, the gaffer?
172
00:07:58,895 --> 00:08:00,437
He worked on Raiders of the Lost Ark.
173
00:08:00,438 --> 00:08:02,899
Hasn't heard a single word
of dialogue his entire career.
174
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:04,400
Well, that's sad.
175
00:08:04,401 --> 00:08:05,651
- Poor Mike.
- Yeah, well,
176
00:08:05,652 --> 00:08:07,069
it's heartbreaking, but it's the biz.
177
00:08:07,070 --> 00:08:08,570
- The hair is fixed.
- Hair's fixed.
178
00:08:08,571 --> 00:08:10,864
Okay, stunt rehearsal!
179
00:08:10,865 --> 00:08:12,784
"Surrounded on all sides,
180
00:08:13,410 --> 00:08:17,914
Tecto activates his Invisible Jackhammer,
drilling down into the earth."
181
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:22,919
"Tecto grabs Eye,
182
00:08:24,045 --> 00:08:27,382
and the force shoots them
into the air like a rocket."
183
00:08:27,799 --> 00:08:31,886
- Cue Moss Men! And... action stunt!
- It's hammer time!
184
00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:38,852
Warp speed, baby!
185
00:08:39,102 --> 00:08:41,479
- What are you doing?
- No one called "cut."
186
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:45,816
Not for me to say,
but shouldn't that be faster?
187
00:08:45,817 --> 00:08:48,278
- Shane is expecting warp speed.
- Okay, cut!
188
00:08:48,695 --> 00:08:51,531
The winch has to roll itself out,
15 meters to go.
189
00:08:52,073 --> 00:08:54,951
I've been in motorized bath chairs
faster than this.
190
00:08:56,661 --> 00:08:59,122
Eric? Hey, Eric, any notes for me?
191
00:08:59,664 --> 00:09:01,249
So, I've been talking to Chris.
192
00:09:01,791 --> 00:09:03,417
Did I tell you
that I've been talking to Chris?
193
00:09:03,418 --> 00:09:04,543
Couple of times, yeah, yeah.
194
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:06,171
It's very cool
how you're friends with him now.
195
00:09:06,296 --> 00:09:09,174
He writes me
these beautiful letters. Longhand.
196
00:09:10,091 --> 00:09:11,926
Chris. Always Chris. Never Christopher.
197
00:09:12,344 --> 00:09:15,013
- Chris Nolan.
- Wow, that's great... for you.
198
00:09:16,097 --> 00:09:17,182
So great. Anyway...
199
00:09:18,308 --> 00:09:19,434
Yeah, well, my point is...
200
00:09:20,185 --> 00:09:22,437
how would Chris make sense
of the Invisible Jackhammer?
201
00:09:22,771 --> 00:09:25,731
So, yes, I want this. This here.
202
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:27,441
Talk to our new producer,
203
00:09:27,442 --> 00:09:30,362
get me my 80 extras,
or I will not shoot, yeah?
204
00:09:31,696 --> 00:09:34,073
So tough, isn't it? The biz.
205
00:09:34,074 --> 00:09:35,908
Dag, I'm gonna get this stunt
if it kills me
206
00:09:35,909 --> 00:09:37,409
and everyone involved in this production.
207
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:40,622
- Dan, I've got Health and Safety for you.
- Welcome. Thank you, Health and Safety.
208
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:42,540
Onwards, with caution!
209
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:47,837
- Adam's gone back to his trailer.
- 'Course he has. Send in Xanax Man.
210
00:09:53,301 --> 00:09:54,844
- Adam, sir!
- Hey.
211
00:09:54,969 --> 00:09:56,930
- We need you back on set, mate.
- What's up? Just give us...
212
00:09:57,055 --> 00:09:58,390
- a second.
- Yeah.
213
00:10:01,059 --> 00:10:02,894
Will you just be straight with me?
214
00:10:05,647 --> 00:10:08,149
Do you buy me as a guy
who can make earthquakes happen?
215
00:10:09,317 --> 00:10:12,153
Earthquakes, yes. Absolutely.
216
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:14,823
Absolutely, 100%, okay?
217
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:16,950
All right?
218
00:10:18,493 --> 00:10:19,660
We done? Cool.
219
00:10:19,661 --> 00:10:23,163
It's just so wild, you know.
I gave up my dog to be here.
220
00:10:23,164 --> 00:10:25,749
- Like a top-of-the-line dog.
- Oh, really? Top-of-the-line?
221
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:27,543
Yeah. I just-- Okay.
222
00:10:27,544 --> 00:10:30,838
I need you to be real with me.
Like, as a friend.
223
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:34,425
- One of my closest friends, actually.
- Oh, Adam, I'm flattered.
224
00:10:34,426 --> 00:10:36,844
What do you think?
Like, really, really think
225
00:10:36,845 --> 00:10:38,555
about the Invisible Jackhammer?
226
00:10:42,934 --> 00:10:44,728
Honestly, I think
227
00:10:45,395 --> 00:10:48,064
the Invisible Jackhammer
is fucking badass.
228
00:10:52,444 --> 00:10:53,652
I'm not gonna look like an asshole
229
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:54,738
- up there?
- No, look.
230
00:10:55,780 --> 00:10:58,116
I feel fucking excellent. Okay?
231
00:10:59,117 --> 00:11:01,536
Anyone can do fucking... Ibsen.
232
00:11:01,911 --> 00:11:04,956
When you're flying through the air
on a jackhammer made of sound waves,
233
00:11:05,623 --> 00:11:07,375
- you look awesome.
- Really?
234
00:11:07,542 --> 00:11:10,128
You look brilliant. You're a genius.
235
00:11:10,295 --> 00:11:12,797
In my opinion, the greatest actor
who ever lived.
236
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:17,010
No, I'm not. Like--
237
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:20,220
Don't make me repeat myself
because I won't.
238
00:11:20,221 --> 00:11:22,640
It's just Peter. He's fucking with me.
He's fucking with my head.
239
00:11:22,807 --> 00:11:25,810
It's like he's trying to undermine me
in front of the new producer.
240
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:27,562
He's like-- Maybe the call sheet thing,
241
00:11:27,771 --> 00:11:30,190
or 'cause I'm number one
and he doesn't like it?
242
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:32,692
You know, he's making faces,
unscripted faces, and like--
243
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:34,443
- Okay, I'm gonna talk to him. I will.
- You know--
244
00:11:34,444 --> 00:11:35,986
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Yeah.
245
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:37,197
You're so good at your job.
246
00:11:37,655 --> 00:11:41,326
You know, I might have lost a dog,
but I think I gained one too.
247
00:11:42,952 --> 00:11:44,788
- Oh, me? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Woof, woof.
- Yeah.
248
00:11:46,414 --> 00:11:47,749
Yeah. All right.
249
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:50,293
Daniel the Spaniel!
250
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:53,755
Thanks.
251
00:12:02,013 --> 00:12:03,889
Oh, don't mind me,
I'm just poking through your stuff,
252
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:05,016
if that's cool.
253
00:12:05,975 --> 00:12:07,644
Movies, movies, movies.
254
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:10,855
Someone's a movie buff. Shrink Rap?
255
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:14,776
Yeah. Well, one day when all this is done,
maybe I'll get to listen to the...
256
00:12:15,151 --> 00:12:17,028
director's commentary on Eraserhead.
257
00:12:17,696 --> 00:12:19,531
My God, dare to dream.
258
00:12:20,532 --> 00:12:22,492
Okay, I've got a question for you.
259
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:25,745
Have you ever thought,
"Am I killing cinema?"
260
00:12:26,663 --> 00:12:28,206
Genuinely never thought about it.
261
00:12:28,623 --> 00:12:32,836
Because the Invisible Jackhammer
got me thinking, what if you are?
262
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:37,464
What if this isn't a dream factory?
What if it's an abattoir, you know?
263
00:12:37,465 --> 00:12:41,677
And we've all got blood on our hands
and fatty tissue on our faces,
264
00:12:41,678 --> 00:12:43,596
and we're sat here, you know,
eating sandwiches?
265
00:12:43,722 --> 00:12:45,097
Dag, can you just stop talking?
266
00:12:45,098 --> 00:12:47,599
Peck, peck, pecking away
like a fucking question chicken, okay?
267
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,351
I'm happy to share
my valuable industry insights
268
00:12:49,352 --> 00:12:51,311
and years of accumulated wisdom,
but I just--
269
00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:53,939
Sorry for shouting.
I just need to figure out
270
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:56,735
how I'm going to execute this stunt
before I lose my job!
271
00:12:56,943 --> 00:12:58,945
Sorry. Thank you, I'm sorry.
272
00:13:01,072 --> 00:13:02,532
I filled up your water bottle.
273
00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:09,330
Well, that's really nice.
274
00:13:10,415 --> 00:13:12,792
- And you've made me look like a prick.
- Sorry.
275
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:22,634
Look, you seem really smart.
You're here now.
276
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:24,345
We're gonna be working together.
That's great.
277
00:13:24,346 --> 00:13:27,265
I just need you
to use your initiative, yeah?
278
00:13:28,016 --> 00:13:31,644
Anita's got everyone panicked.
Like dogs in a washing machine.
279
00:13:33,438 --> 00:13:35,774
Crazy idea.
Why don't you go and talk to her?
280
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:47,160
- Bit of fun.
- Yeah, that was Jim, third AD before you.
281
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:50,080
He threw that up there
before he killed himself.
282
00:13:55,377 --> 00:13:56,753
You know what? Fuck it.
283
00:14:01,716 --> 00:14:02,759
Enter.
284
00:14:05,387 --> 00:14:07,389
Dan, hi! Good to see you.
285
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:13,770
- Eric wants his Moss--
- I'm so sorry about this morning.
286
00:14:13,895 --> 00:14:16,981
The emergency meeting, the no-show.
Hope it didn't bump.
287
00:14:18,483 --> 00:14:20,777
Nah, nah. Barely noticed really.
288
00:14:21,111 --> 00:14:22,696
- Cool beans.
- Great.
289
00:14:24,239 --> 00:14:25,698
And I just wanted to make sure
290
00:14:25,699 --> 00:14:28,617
- things aren't gonna be weird between us.
- Anita, why would they be weird?
291
00:14:28,618 --> 00:14:30,577
Because we were fucking
pretty successfully
292
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:32,496
for about six months,
and then I started fucking
293
00:14:32,497 --> 00:14:34,498
a very famous Australian actor
behind your back
294
00:14:34,499 --> 00:14:35,542
and now I'm your boss?
295
00:14:36,584 --> 00:14:38,753
I mean, I don't even think
about that stuff anymore.
296
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,797
Phew! What a relief
297
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:43,466
because I may need to ream you out
in front of everyone.
298
00:14:44,134 --> 00:14:46,510
Well, you can't shout at the director,
so hit this bitch, right?
299
00:14:46,511 --> 00:14:49,388
- Yeah, a hanging in the town square.
- A hanging. A hanging?
300
00:14:49,389 --> 00:14:51,349
A beating, a flogging, a...
301
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:54,727
- forensic crucifixion.
- Could we settle on a metaphor?
302
00:14:54,728 --> 00:14:57,438
It serves two purposes.
One, spreads fear. Yum.
303
00:14:57,439 --> 00:14:59,232
- Two, it buries the lede about you and me.
- Okay, sure.
304
00:14:59,357 --> 00:15:00,858
Because it would be very bad
if people knew we were...
305
00:15:00,859 --> 00:15:03,110
Yeah, it's all right. You can burn me.
306
00:15:03,111 --> 00:15:07,072
I'm a human sacrifice.
I'm the Wicker Man! Wicker Dan!
307
00:15:07,073 --> 00:15:08,616
Is that shitty? Is that bad friending?
308
00:15:13,079 --> 00:15:14,122
Okay, look.
309
00:15:14,873 --> 00:15:15,999
I need something in return.
310
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:19,044
Spread your fear,
but I need to sprinkle some hope.
311
00:15:19,419 --> 00:15:22,130
Eric is demanding his Moss Men back.
312
00:15:22,589 --> 00:15:24,256
Can't do it, Daniel.
Need to show strength.
313
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:28,261
But I will grab you for the hanging.
Yeah? Cool beans?
314
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:33,308
Yes. The coolest of beans.
315
00:15:34,976 --> 00:15:39,230
Very fucking uncool beans, Dag.
I'm about to get hung out to dry.
316
00:15:39,856 --> 00:15:41,983
Peter, sir? Do me a favor.
317
00:15:42,901 --> 00:15:43,902
Can you go easy on Adam?
318
00:15:44,361 --> 00:15:46,737
Oh, my God!
Have I done something to upset him?
319
00:15:46,738 --> 00:15:48,198
Christ, what a mess!
320
00:15:49,324 --> 00:15:51,325
If there's anything I can do
in terms of the call sheet?
321
00:15:51,326 --> 00:15:52,785
Call sheet? Please.
322
00:15:52,786 --> 00:15:55,038
Not on my account.
I'm very low maintenance.
323
00:15:55,330 --> 00:15:59,000
Now get that through
your thick fucking skull, Daniel!
324
00:15:59,167 --> 00:16:00,334
Dan, new producer is asking
325
00:16:00,335 --> 00:16:02,379
if this could be a good time
to tear you a new one?
326
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:05,047
Could she maybe not
in front of the crewmen?
327
00:16:05,048 --> 00:16:07,549
Because they once saw me
applying hand lotion,
328
00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:09,551
and it didn't end well.
329
00:16:09,552 --> 00:16:12,347
- Okay, where's my first AD?
- Happening anyway.
330
00:16:12,806 --> 00:16:13,973
Hi, Daniel, nice to meet you.
331
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:16,684
Can I just ask,
why the fuck aren't we rolling?
332
00:16:16,685 --> 00:16:18,894
Oh, Eric! Maestro, come on over!
333
00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:20,896
I'm just trying to figure out
why your first AD here
334
00:16:20,897 --> 00:16:22,065
is not taking care of you.
335
00:16:23,817 --> 00:16:24,901
Please go ahead.
336
00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:29,655
So, your director is talking to the actors
for 52 minutes on average before take one.
337
00:16:29,656 --> 00:16:32,199
- Yes, I am.
- No disrespect to Eric, who we love,
338
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,742
- but you should not be allowing him...
- Yeah.
339
00:16:33,743 --> 00:16:34,827
...to do that much talking.
340
00:16:34,828 --> 00:16:38,373
- I need boundaries, Daniel.
- Boundaries so he can knock them down.
341
00:16:38,540 --> 00:16:39,916
- Thank you, Steph.
- If this is a pile-on,
342
00:16:40,041 --> 00:16:41,875
- I should dial Shane.
- Eleven setups per day,
343
00:16:41,876 --> 00:16:44,169
which he will ask for,
because he's a visionary.
344
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:45,713
- No, please.
- I'm sorry,
345
00:16:45,714 --> 00:16:46,964
but what the fuck are you thinking?
346
00:16:46,965 --> 00:16:50,718
- Shane, hi. Shellacking the first AD.
- You need to start running things, Daniel.
347
00:16:50,719 --> 00:16:53,679
It can feel
a little sloppy here sometimes.
348
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,015
It does sound like a lot of setups
when you hear it out loud.
349
00:16:56,016 --> 00:16:57,599
- Yeah, cheers, Dag.
- What the fuck are you doing?
350
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,893
Pat, sir?
We're apportioning blame over here.
351
00:16:59,894 --> 00:17:03,106
- Oh, no, now the angry man's coming.
- Dinner and a show, don't mind if I do.
352
00:17:03,481 --> 00:17:06,191
You fucked up, son,
and now you gotta eat it!
353
00:17:06,192 --> 00:17:09,153
You need to be riding this man
like a stallion.
354
00:17:09,154 --> 00:17:11,031
- Like a stallion.
- Ride him like a stallion.
355
00:17:11,197 --> 00:17:14,784
But ride gently, okay?
And when you beat him, carrot, not stick.
356
00:17:15,702 --> 00:17:16,827
Hey, this isn't a witch hunt.
357
00:17:16,828 --> 00:17:18,579
Well, I want to know
why it's not a witch hunt,
358
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:20,165
- and who can we blame?
- Funny.
359
00:17:20,290 --> 00:17:23,125
But hey, big stunt today.
Excited to see what you got.
360
00:17:23,126 --> 00:17:24,335
- Right, Pat?
- That's right.
361
00:17:24,336 --> 00:17:26,546
Yeah. Tick-tock. Clock is ticking.
362
00:17:27,505 --> 00:17:31,009
Yes, sir. Daniel Kumar, first AD.
Possible subject of a witch hunt.
363
00:17:31,926 --> 00:17:33,345
K-U-M-A-R.
364
00:17:37,515 --> 00:17:40,309
So sorry for weighing in.
It was just a very infectious energy.
365
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:41,518
Well, I'm glad you had fun.
366
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:43,562
Now I just have to execute
with everyone watching me
367
00:17:43,563 --> 00:17:46,107
or I could lose my job,
or someone might die.
368
00:17:46,232 --> 00:17:49,485
Okay, folks, game faces!
Positions, positions, positions!
369
00:17:49,486 --> 00:17:51,779
- Keep saying positions. Show me.
- Positions, positions...
370
00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:53,489
- Heels up in three, two, one.
- ...positions,
371
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:54,908
- positions, positions!
- Go!
372
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:58,118
No. Shit. That has to work, okay?
Two goes.
373
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,246
Peter's spine can only do two more goes.
374
00:18:00,372 --> 00:18:02,665
Sam. Do me a favor.
Peter's feeling quite frisky.
375
00:18:02,791 --> 00:18:04,208
Let's keep him on a tight leash.
Thank you.
376
00:18:04,209 --> 00:18:05,376
Daniel, I found Jamie VFX.
377
00:18:05,377 --> 00:18:07,127
Jamie, pixel wizard,
how are you holding up?
378
00:18:07,128 --> 00:18:08,296
I'm in the tunnel.
379
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,715
My wife said it's like I've been dead
for three months.
380
00:18:11,007 --> 00:18:15,302
- Yeah, listen? Can we VFX 80 Moss Men?
- Insanely expensive, it'll look shit,
381
00:18:15,303 --> 00:18:17,096
and the additional workload
might actually kill me.
382
00:18:17,097 --> 00:18:18,180
But you could actually do it?
383
00:18:18,181 --> 00:18:19,723
- I mean--
- Yes! Thank you, Jamie.
384
00:18:19,724 --> 00:18:20,974
- This way, Jamie.
- Good to see you.
385
00:18:20,975 --> 00:18:23,769
Eric, VFX can tile your Moss Men,
you'll get your crowd, pinky promise,
386
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:25,270
- can we just shoot?
- Positions, positions.
387
00:18:25,271 --> 00:18:27,273
- Okay
- Okay. Thank you! Positions, positions!
388
00:18:27,524 --> 00:18:30,568
We're almost ready, folks.
We're almost ready.
389
00:18:35,073 --> 00:18:38,284
You go telling tales,
and so I'm now the fucking petty one.
390
00:18:40,203 --> 00:18:42,538
Why are you jerking me back?
What are you doing?
391
00:18:42,539 --> 00:18:45,165
Just gonna go ten-one.
Quick bathroom break.
392
00:18:45,166 --> 00:18:47,335
Mollusk Man going ten-one
behind a rock.
393
00:18:50,171 --> 00:18:52,298
Had a large coffee, rookie error.
394
00:18:53,133 --> 00:18:55,927
No, that's working. Oh, fabulous.
395
00:18:58,346 --> 00:18:59,931
That has completely absorbed.
396
00:19:00,056 --> 00:19:03,685
Headphones. Who wants headphones?
I know I do.
397
00:19:04,227 --> 00:19:06,020
- Thanks.
- Lovely. Lovely.
398
00:19:06,021 --> 00:19:08,690
- Dag, what the fuck are you doing?
- I'm using my initiative.
399
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:11,108
Maybe if we can all hear,
we'll all be better at our jobs.
400
00:19:11,109 --> 00:19:13,360
Okay. None of these people
can have headphones, okay?
401
00:19:13,361 --> 00:19:15,113
It looks like I'm not in control
of my fucking set.
402
00:19:15,238 --> 00:19:17,197
Sorry, folks. Dan said no headphones.
403
00:19:17,198 --> 00:19:18,950
I think maybe
they're a symbol of authority.
404
00:19:19,367 --> 00:19:21,703
- Sorry, Mike.
- Sorry, Mike. Not the bad guy.
405
00:19:22,871 --> 00:19:24,413
Positions! Can we just roll?
406
00:19:24,414 --> 00:19:28,709
- Hey, Dan. Ready? Excited to see.
- Excited to see you seeing.
407
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:30,337
- Be quiet out there!
- Sound speed.
408
00:19:32,297 --> 00:19:33,714
And action.
409
00:19:33,715 --> 00:19:36,634
One second, Eric, I--
One second, I gotta sneeze!
410
00:19:40,805 --> 00:19:42,057
Okay, it's gone.
411
00:19:43,224 --> 00:19:44,266
Okay, I'm ready.
412
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:45,727
- Running it.
- We're running.
413
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:47,729
Okay, starting the clock.
414
00:19:48,188 --> 00:19:50,148
Invisible. Jacking it.
415
00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:54,110
There. Got it. Got it.
416
00:19:54,986 --> 00:19:56,321
Okay, and...
417
00:19:58,573 --> 00:19:59,574
action!
418
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:06,581
Cue Moss Men!
419
00:20:08,625 --> 00:20:09,793
It's hammer time!
420
00:20:13,546 --> 00:20:16,006
Oh, shit. Sneezed.
421
00:20:16,007 --> 00:20:18,008
- Sorry, sorry!
- And cut.
422
00:20:18,009 --> 00:20:21,596
- Fucking allergies. Fucking allergies.
- Cut there, thank you.
423
00:20:22,263 --> 00:20:23,264
Lock it.
424
00:20:23,765 --> 00:20:26,809
Eric, can we use any of that?
Can we use any of that?
425
00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:29,396
No, Adam. Your face was sneezy
and unusable.
426
00:20:30,355 --> 00:20:33,858
Poor number one. Gosh!
Maybe he's allergic to acting.
427
00:20:35,443 --> 00:20:37,487
Letting Shane know
we still don't have the stunt.
428
00:20:38,321 --> 00:20:39,321
- Okay.
- Thank you.
429
00:20:39,322 --> 00:20:40,448
Thank you.
430
00:20:41,324 --> 00:20:44,119
Not a good look, Dan.
Maybe I should ream you out again?
431
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:47,830
Anita, look, if I could speak freely?
432
00:20:47,831 --> 00:20:49,039
- Friend level?
- Yeah.
433
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,836
If you want to turn this movie around,
stop shouting. Focus on the creative.
434
00:20:53,086 --> 00:20:54,712
The studio has lost its way.
435
00:20:54,713 --> 00:20:56,964
These movies are not hitting
the way they used to.
436
00:20:56,965 --> 00:20:58,341
And I need your help.
437
00:20:58,633 --> 00:21:00,718
Yeah, well,
Shane's pulled in all directions,
438
00:21:00,719 --> 00:21:02,720
like an octopus at a square dance.
439
00:21:02,721 --> 00:21:05,472
Exactly. The Invisible Jackhammer
is the perfect example.
440
00:21:05,473 --> 00:21:07,474
I hated it in the comics.
I hated it in the cartoons.
441
00:21:07,475 --> 00:21:09,893
- It's totally ludicrous.
- What is it even made of?
442
00:21:09,894 --> 00:21:12,187
Oh, we've got a science advisor from MIT,
443
00:21:12,188 --> 00:21:14,773
but we broke his spirit
and now he just nods everything through.
444
00:21:14,774 --> 00:21:16,984
If Shane had the headspace,
if he was on it,
445
00:21:16,985 --> 00:21:19,069
if he was here,
he'd say this is fucking dumb
446
00:21:19,070 --> 00:21:21,071
and we should cut it.
Lose it from the movie.
447
00:21:21,072 --> 00:21:23,283
He needs boots on the ground. He needs us.
448
00:21:23,658 --> 00:21:27,036
I can call him. Direct report.
I can talk to Shane whenever I want.
449
00:21:27,037 --> 00:21:28,620
Yes, that would be amazing.
450
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:32,000
- Just yank the emergency cord.
- Yank that fucking puppy.
451
00:21:32,417 --> 00:21:34,209
- Save the movie.
- Save the day.
452
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:35,545
Save the universe.
453
00:21:37,505 --> 00:21:39,840
We should loop in Eric though.
454
00:21:39,841 --> 00:21:41,258
- Eric?
- Eric.
455
00:21:41,259 --> 00:21:43,386
- Oh, Eric-- Director Eric. Yes.
- Yeah.
456
00:21:43,595 --> 00:21:44,720
Eric!
457
00:21:44,721 --> 00:21:47,681
Fuck the Jackhammer.
It was an albatross from the start.
458
00:21:47,682 --> 00:21:49,350
A giant invisible sea bird.
459
00:21:49,351 --> 00:21:52,187
It is not now,
nor shall it ever be, hammer time.
460
00:21:53,146 --> 00:21:55,315
Hey, Anita. Heard you were hoping
to connect with Shane.
461
00:21:55,648 --> 00:21:57,566
Thank you, Bryson.
I'd like to speak with him direct.
462
00:21:57,567 --> 00:21:58,693
Okay.
463
00:21:59,611 --> 00:22:02,197
Hey, Shane. Shane?
464
00:22:02,322 --> 00:22:03,822
Hello, Anita. This is Bryson.
465
00:22:03,823 --> 00:22:07,160
Shane is not available,
but Pat would like to see you on C stage.
466
00:22:07,869 --> 00:22:09,662
Thank you, of course, that'd be a delight.
467
00:22:10,872 --> 00:22:13,458
Okay, signal me
if you need backup. I'm here.
468
00:22:14,292 --> 00:22:15,292
Pat.
469
00:22:15,293 --> 00:22:18,545
New sound stages for Centurios 2,
our summer tentpole,
470
00:22:18,546 --> 00:22:20,798
and we have an infestation
of fucking pigeons!
471
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:22,466
Lasers. Just to scare them.
472
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:25,512
We can't laser the birds in half,
nor do we wish to.
473
00:22:26,096 --> 00:22:27,389
Three o'clock, fire.
474
00:22:27,514 --> 00:22:29,265
- Pat. Pat, here.
- What?
475
00:22:29,933 --> 00:22:32,727
Do you think I might be able
to talk to Shane direct?
476
00:22:32,852 --> 00:22:34,479
It's about the Invisible Jackhammer.
477
00:22:34,979 --> 00:22:37,231
Shane's just made
the incredibly painful decision
478
00:22:37,232 --> 00:22:40,192
- to mothball The Sister Squad.
- Production was in chaos.
479
00:22:40,193 --> 00:22:42,778
Writers were being hired
to do pre-writes on rewrites
480
00:22:42,779 --> 00:22:44,863
- that hadn't even come in yet.
- It's canned? The whole movie?
481
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:46,573
It's like when you have a beautiful dog,
482
00:22:46,574 --> 00:22:49,326
but you have to smash its head in
with a hammer due to...
483
00:22:49,327 --> 00:22:51,912
- Circumstances?
- Exactly, circumstances.
484
00:22:51,913 --> 00:22:56,710
Strategic pivot from way, way upstairs.
Fewer releases.
485
00:22:57,377 --> 00:23:00,422
Seems we gave the fans too much content,
they choked on it.
486
00:23:01,214 --> 00:23:04,843
Hey, Todd, let's aim for the eyes.
We really need to send a message here.
487
00:23:05,135 --> 00:23:09,097
But I'm okay, right?
I mean, you know, in terms of my position?
488
00:23:09,222 --> 00:23:10,931
Well, Anita, you should probably know,
489
00:23:10,932 --> 00:23:13,976
Shane's never been 100%
on Tecto, you know.
490
00:23:13,977 --> 00:23:15,102
Excuse me?
491
00:23:15,103 --> 00:23:17,146
Yeah, he got addicted to announcing stuff.
492
00:23:17,147 --> 00:23:20,357
He went on a hot streak at Comic-Con
and nobody told him "No."
493
00:23:20,358 --> 00:23:21,692
- Now, here you are.
- But, wait--
494
00:23:21,693 --> 00:23:24,403
Todd? Super important
that we get this cleared. If I may?
495
00:23:24,404 --> 00:23:25,904
- The laser.
- This is on Deadline, okay?
496
00:23:25,905 --> 00:23:27,573
My name is attached.
497
00:23:27,574 --> 00:23:30,701
I turned down Sofia fucking Coppola
to be here!
498
00:23:30,702 --> 00:23:34,414
Okay, but then we offered you a salary
you couldn't refuse, you know?
499
00:23:34,706 --> 00:23:38,542
Listen to me, look at me, look at me.
We have the utmost confidence in you.
500
00:23:38,543 --> 00:23:41,379
Your movie will be released, okay?
501
00:23:41,546 --> 00:23:44,923
If it's a fucking disaster,
and I strongly feel it will not be,
502
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:48,010
I wanna tell you, on my honor
as a Hollywood producer,
503
00:23:48,011 --> 00:23:50,847
there's no way
we'd pin this on you, okay? No way.
504
00:23:51,973 --> 00:23:54,058
Not how I operate.
505
00:23:54,059 --> 00:23:57,103
- Incredibly reassuring, Pat.
- Glad to hear it.
506
00:23:57,270 --> 00:23:59,522
- Thanks, Anita.
- Thanks, Pat.
507
00:23:59,856 --> 00:24:02,691
Boom. That is a direct and humane hit.
508
00:24:02,692 --> 00:24:04,318
- Nice.
- Oh, the nest.
509
00:24:04,319 --> 00:24:06,779
Bryson, light it up.
Blind those fucking birdies.
510
00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:08,698
- So, can we lose the Jackhammer?
- The what?
511
00:24:09,324 --> 00:24:10,533
It's hammer time!
512
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:15,245
We got it!
513
00:24:15,246 --> 00:24:16,705
- Cut!
- Fuck you, Ibsen!
514
00:24:16,706 --> 00:24:18,500
- Actually, once the CG is in...
- Yeah, I was gonna say,
515
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:20,084
- once it's graded and it's, you know--
- ...and you know,
516
00:24:20,085 --> 00:24:21,919
- you're in the story...
- You've got all the sound effects...
517
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,337
... and you'll have
the color correct and--
518
00:24:23,338 --> 00:24:24,338
...and all the VFX,
519
00:24:24,339 --> 00:24:26,633
- and it's-- Yeah.
- Yeah, I don't mind it.
520
00:24:28,134 --> 00:24:30,052
- Okay. Happiness, Eric?
- Happiness.
521
00:24:30,053 --> 00:24:31,345
- Happiness.
- Happiness.
522
00:24:31,346 --> 00:24:33,807
- Pending Shane's happiness.
- Still couldn't hear.
523
00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:36,601
Okay, everyone, we are moving on!
524
00:24:46,152 --> 00:24:49,906
Imagine plummeting to our deaths.
Big news story.
525
00:24:50,448 --> 00:24:52,784
Then we'd see
whose fucking name comes first.
526
00:24:54,744 --> 00:24:55,745
Guys!
527
00:24:56,246 --> 00:24:58,915
Can we go down? My balls are--
I can't feel my balls.
528
00:24:59,457 --> 00:25:00,667
I can't feel my balls.
529
00:25:09,968 --> 00:25:11,845
Well, it's done now. Onwards.
530
00:25:12,303 --> 00:25:16,266
I just want this to be a good film.
Smart people working hard.
531
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:20,228
- Yeah, I think we all want that.
- But like a really good one.
532
00:25:21,062 --> 00:25:23,398
'Cause when you make movies
like this, but good,
533
00:25:23,857 --> 00:25:25,066
there's nothing better.
534
00:25:25,859 --> 00:25:27,694
Plus, decent gig. Baby needs shoes.
535
00:25:29,112 --> 00:25:30,113
Are we good?
536
00:25:31,531 --> 00:25:34,909
Dan, as your producer, we are great.
We are in great shape.
537
00:25:35,952 --> 00:25:37,328
- Okay, good.
- As your friend,
538
00:25:37,954 --> 00:25:39,289
Rome is burning.
539
00:25:39,873 --> 00:25:42,249
Walls are tumbling down
and careers are being destroyed.
540
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:44,793
Daniel, if you care too much
about this job, it will kill you.
541
00:25:44,794 --> 00:25:46,087
We are not at war...
542
00:25:46,713 --> 00:25:48,048
but we're at war.
543
00:25:52,886 --> 00:25:53,887
Fucking with you.
544
00:25:54,429 --> 00:25:56,222
Yeah. Everything's great.
545
00:25:57,223 --> 00:25:59,017
Nothing to worry about. Night, Dan.
546
00:26:00,393 --> 00:26:03,396
Mollusk Man traveling.
Can someone de-rig his diaper? Over.
547
00:26:06,358 --> 00:26:08,151
Well, that's a wrappy on the nappy.
548
00:26:08,735 --> 00:26:11,112
"I am big.
It's the nappies that got small."
549
00:26:12,906 --> 00:26:14,949
Actually, I've got quite a long
car journey home.
550
00:26:15,617 --> 00:26:16,785
I'll just leave it on.
551
00:26:25,794 --> 00:26:27,629
What's it like working with Adam?
552
00:26:28,338 --> 00:26:29,506
Adam?
553
00:26:30,548 --> 00:26:35,220
Adam, he's instinctual,
like a bear or a hog.
554
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,473
And I say this with, you know, respect.
It's like working with a chimpanzee,
555
00:26:39,474 --> 00:26:42,893
which I've done twice actually,
once with tragic consequences.
556
00:26:42,894 --> 00:26:47,022
Awful story. Bong-Bong was his name.
They caught him one day stealing donuts
557
00:26:47,023 --> 00:26:49,316
from the craft services,
which one must never do.
558
00:26:49,317 --> 00:26:51,444
And so his owner,
in an attempt to chide him,
559
00:26:51,778 --> 00:26:54,072
ended up beating him to death
with an axe handle.
560
00:26:54,489 --> 00:26:56,449
Terrible, terrible, and very messy.
561
00:26:56,950 --> 00:26:59,493
Obviously, there was no chance
of the chimp doing any press or publicity
562
00:26:59,494 --> 00:27:02,122
to promote the movie after that.
How could he? He was dead.
563
00:27:02,455 --> 00:27:05,375
So in the end, they brought in
a second chimp to do Carson.
564
00:27:05,959 --> 00:27:08,420
Rum-Tum, I think it was.
565
00:27:08,712 --> 00:27:11,756
Anyway, the whole press campaign
was a bit of a washout after that.
566
00:27:12,173 --> 00:27:15,426
I often think that's why
the movie never found an audience.
567
00:27:15,427 --> 00:27:17,595
Screenplay was terrific.
568
00:27:17,971 --> 00:27:19,806
"Do You Take This Chimp?," it was called.
569
00:27:20,515 --> 00:27:23,435
David Mamet did an uncredited polish.
570
00:27:24,436 --> 00:27:25,687
Bong-Bong.
571
00:27:27,522 --> 00:27:31,359
I haven't thought about poor little bugger
for 30 years.
572
00:27:34,988 --> 00:27:36,865
Or David Mamet, for that matter.
