00:00 I feel like I never even owned the theater, you know?
00:02 Yeah, I handled the business side of things, but...
00:05 It wasn't what you thought it would be?
00:07 Hey, Jerry's here.
00:09 There's no easy way to break this up.
00:11 I gotta raise the rent?
00:13 If you can't make the raise, you're out.
00:16 Just sucks.
00:18 Does this mean we're closing?
00:20 You could just...
00:22 book more interesting work.
00:23 Whenever I've booked more interesting work, no one has come.
00:26 Nobody comes to the theater if they haven't heard of what's being performed.
00:29 Book what you want to book, until you're forced out.
00:32 Something genuine. Something personal.
00:35 I could put on cat war.
00:37 Oh my god, you could finally put on cat war!
00:39 Why are we tearing each other apart, when we should be working together as one?
00:44 Meow!
00:46 Uh, boss?
00:52 There's a crowd?
00:54 There are so many people out there,
00:58 and I'm wearing this cat suit!
01:00 No more cat war after that, I promise!
01:02 We're doomed.
01:03 Look, I've only got five weeks left,
01:05 and I want to do incredibly well.
01:07 The importance of being honest?
01:09 Sink to earnest, goes to jail.
01:12 Amazing work.
01:13 First, you need to assemble your ingredients.
01:15 I'm all tapped out of ideas.
01:16 So, will you help me, please?
01:19 Some of your employees might be feeling a little under the weather.
01:24 People look at this theater and they think it's a joke.
01:26 I need more help.
01:27 I get a raise?
01:28 Really?
01:29 I can't be working here.
01:30 What?
01:31 No talking.
01:32 I'm fine.
01:33 It doesn't matter.
01:34 You can't do this to me!
01:35 Are you interrogated?
01:36 No.
01:37 Okay, I'm doing this.
01:38 I need to focus on myself.
01:39 Stop taking all of my lines!
01:40 I'm not taking any of yours!
01:41 Good theater?
01:42 I feel like I've made everything worse.
01:43 Is Hoover horrible?
01:44 YOLO!
01:45 Like, everyone hates me.
01:47 This theater has been...
01:49 your life.
