00:00 They want you to change your name. Archie Leach doesn't cut it.
00:03 Anything come to mind?
00:04 Cary Grant.
00:05 Now isn't that a beautiful name?
00:08 Cut!
00:10 The name of the father, the son, and the holy weekend box office.
00:13 Cary Grant is a character. I've been very careful about how he's perceived.
00:18 This is the dreamiest guy in the world we're talking about.
00:21 You're not gonna break my heart, are you?
00:22 Probably.
00:23 I walked into that one.
00:29 I ain't going home tomorrow. I'm gonna stay here and I'm gonna be a star.
00:32 What accent you got, kid?
00:33 Uh, English.
00:34 Okay, thank you. Next.
00:36 I spent most of my life wondering who I was supposed to be.
00:38 You'll find that we're all fates in this town, my dear. Aren't we, Cary?
00:43 I'll never let you go, Archie.
00:48 You know what's wrong with you?
00:50 No, why?
00:51 Nothing.
00:52 Dad, when am I gonna see my friends?
00:56 I'll be right back, I promise.
00:58 No, please, I wanna go home!
00:59 So it's okay to have a silly child like me in real life,
01:04 but in La La Land it makes you look ridiculous?
01:06 You're Cary Grant.
01:08 Not to you, Mom. I'm just Archie.
01:09 Anybody who ever cared about me could never do that to me!
01:13 Shut up!
01:14 My daughter, Jennifer, she is by far my best production.
01:18 What a journey we've been on.
01:19 Now, I know exactly who I am.
01:26 who I am.
