Post by bunniefuu »

- You slept with Faith?

What ?

Jack?

Jack... no... what?

I know she was with you
last night.

Yes, because you sent it
We were supposed to go out together.

don't sleep
with my assistant.

I didn't sleep with Faith.

Wray, I'm serious.

She is too masculine.

No, she is not.

Yes, she is...

He's a tomboy,
but more like a man.

...like a man ...
a man named Tom.

And then with those eyebrows
who always seem to be angry.

How are you, buddy?

I'm mad. Faith did not come to
the meeting with my agents for Spectrum.

I wonder why I think
it's your fault.

Faith did not come to the meeting
with your agents for Spectrum?

- No... I'm sure everything is fine,

it probably is...

This output does not work.

- Is the time right here?
- Time... no, God, no.

We should really...

talked about the movie Spectrum.

You, you know...

last night would have been ideal.

Okay, look. For me
in September it would be nice,

I can report Agent Hammertoe.

- Let me talk to Jack.
Let me speak. - Nope

And Fistful of Pistols could wait.

Give me that.

- I'm going to k*ll you.
- At least for a while...

Jack!

-Jack!
- Nope ! Nope !

- What are you doing ?
- Give me the phone.

Nope !

Do not make noise.

We've been dating for months.

Grow a little.

From Jack Moore: Where are you?
The meeting was today! Ready !?

We both have to grow up.

- You have no reason to be afraid of him.
- I am not afraid of him.

It's him...

Okay, I will tell him. I will tell him
later. Just quiet...

Please.

Hey, buddy...

Sorry for...

The phone goes very badly here.

It don't make sense, Wray, I'm calling
a landline number.

I say ! That's crazy...

I mean, who still has
a landline number...

Nowadays...

I mean, I have one.
We have one.

Dude, I have to go.
My agents have arrived.

- We'll have coffee later, ok?
- Yes,

let's have a coffee,
let's have a coffee. Downright.

sh*t ! I think Dale is on the roof.

- Who ?
- Dale, Dale...

The owner. Dale. Dale.

- The stuntman?
- He's not a stuntman.

He's a stunt man.

Who does vocal effects.

- I have to go.
- He did it on purpose.

- Dale!
- .

My God ...

Honey, we're really sorry.

Listen, once again...

we really want to apologize.

Vertical migration.

We left a message at
your assistant to report,

- You did not receive it ?
- It didn't happen to me.

- I am sorry.
- I should change my assistant.

Who is the person on the phone?

This is Susan, from the office of
New York. She will join us.

So...

What brings you here, Jack?

spectrum.

I want to make a movie out of it

and I want to do it this year.

- It's OK.
- Sure.

Yes, whatever you want.

Seriously ?

It's... okay... I...

To be honest, I thought...

have to convince you,
I had a speech ready.

It's show business

and I am the show.

I would have said that...

I would have been convinced.

What Jack Moore wants,
Jack Moore gets.

Ok good ! I think we should...

move Agent Hamertoe
in the fall, and...

and the western see you next year.

... he thought of everything.

- Good.
- Really ? It's a good idea.

Very well.

Its good. The agenda is cleared.

It's a good thing because we have
an exciting new project for you.

Sorry... how...

Clear ?

- Cleared up. That's what I wanted
say. - It's just cleared up.

You have nothing.

- Nothing ?
-Susan...

Susan!

Let's not get stuck
in the past, Jack,

Let's focus on this fantastic
project we have for you.

Sorry...
we don't do Hammertoe anymore?

Listen...

I don't know how to tell you,

so I'm not going.
I ss ?

So ...
there is no reason to worry,

Taylor would know how to put it better. Tay.

They are in talks.

To replace you
with Liam Hemsworth.

- For the love of... Susan... by...
- Lets go ...

Susan!

Susan...

Replaced.

You must understand
that it's not you,

it is a general trend.

Now all the main roles
are given to Australians.

They... they are more... more American.

I... I'm really American.

- Yes, but ...
- No no ...

Australian hardiness

we rap

she old America.

You know,
the one we want to remember.

Jesus...


Even in Fistful of Pistols I
am replaced by an Australian?

By Chip Hemsworth.

For God's sake,
how many Hemsworths are there?

We're not really sure,
at present.

An unknown number...

I think these are the last.

- OK.
- Good.

Thanks.

Excuse me ...

A sex, you ticked
the male box.

He's evil... he's the darkest man
male that I know.

He was the stuntman for the actresses,
when there were no stunt girls.

In recent years,

he started wearing the suits,

to relive his moments of glory.

That's why we're all here.

You know, my grandfather

began to wear the uniform of
World w*r II before his death.

- Exactly.
- He was so proud...

but family reunions
were getting a bit embarrassing.

He was a n*zi.

Wray.

They plastered him and
taken to his room.

I have your phone.

Why did you unplug it?

Because you have Tetris and
my battery is dead.

Great, mine too.

Excuse me,

how do you plan to pay
for that today?

So...

I think it is about
his tenth hospitalization.

My dear, congratulations!

This one is free.

Hi ...

Faith?

Younger, hotter and better than you.

- Susan, enough!
- It does not mean ...

that I let go of you.

I'm sorry for you, Jack.

The fact is that

this new project

they offered it directly
to you, no one knows.

What is it about ?

Ten episodes, captivating,

it is "already" a success.

Doctor. Policeman. Lawyer.

Truly revolutionary.

And I would be

- The doctor / policeman / lawyer.
- Obviously.

Dr.Agent Blade

great lawyer.

A single man who is
a surgeon, a policeman

and a prosecutor.
On a mission for justice.

The director will be Diego Alfonso.

- Actually, I want to work with him.
- We know it, we know it.

Which studio are we talking about?
Is it for a summer outing?

Better yet, in the fall.

It's a television series.

Jack Moore is not a TV actor.
Jack Moore is a movie star.

What concerns us,

is that the industry ceases

to think of Jack Moore.

- And, if I can,
- You're welcome.

- Television is the new cinema.
- I like the old cinema.

Wake up, your career
cinema is over.

Ok, that's enough, Susan, you're fired.

- Just me or them too?
- All. Everybody.

Each of you.

You are all fired.

I've already done the best TV series
of all time. It's called Spectrum

it was thirteen years ago

and now I'm going to make a movie out of it.

I have the rights, I have an audience

and more important,

I have the original cast.

So if you'll excuse me...

I have a movie to sh**t.

It didn't go very well.

Susan, you need to calm down.

Russell Crowe arrives.

Ok... you still want to show
that fat, old face?

- For God's sake. Good God.
-Susan!

Bold only.

Okay, fat.

He gets fat. Bold.

Bold.
