00:00:00Morning, Penny. A feast for the eyes.
00:00:04Well, you definitely could be the next Bond.
00:00:08That's because I'm so dangerous, suave, sophisticated.
00:00:16Clearly.
00:00:17So, any news on the part?
00:00:19No idea. You'll have to wait for his eminence.
00:00:22But you made the agency demo real.
00:00:25Oh, I think it's coming up next.
00:00:27Here it goes.
00:00:31Wow!
00:00:33Do you ever get that nasty feeling you just can't shake?
00:00:38Relief is now available.
00:00:45Herculax. Relief in blue.
00:00:49I really don't want to know how you prepared.
00:00:51No, you don't.
00:00:53Marty's off the line.
00:00:55Go right ahead.
00:00:58Hey!
00:01:00What can I say?
00:01:02Oh, no.
00:01:03You got it, kid. You got the new root beer commercial.
00:01:06All right!
00:01:08This is big. Really.
00:01:09National commercial. It's going to play often and for a long time.
00:01:13Ka-ching!
00:01:14Ka-ching!
00:01:15That irritated bowel spot, it's getting a lot of airplay.
00:01:18I think that might have helped you get the root beer gig.
00:01:20Marty, thanks.
00:01:21You deserve it, kid.
00:01:23Now get out of here, will ya? I got work to do.
00:01:28So, tell me about it.
00:01:31Hey, don't do this.
00:01:33Look, it's Belga.
00:01:34Hey, Belga!
00:01:36You da man!
00:01:38Thanks, guys.
00:01:40Oh!
00:01:43Thank you.
00:01:56This meatloaf is delicious.
00:01:58And it doesn't upset your stomach.
00:02:00Mom, I don't have irritable bowel syndrome.
00:02:03I was acting.
00:02:05His acting was so good, you believed it.
00:02:08So, when is all this acting going to start paying?
00:02:12Oh, I don't think you realize just how big this root beer commercial is I'm shooting tomorrow.
00:02:16I mean, it's a national run, so it's like winning the jackpot.
00:02:19Yeah, once the residual checks come in.
00:02:21But for now, I mean, it's peanuts.
00:02:24It's a day's pay. It's bupkis.
00:02:26I'm very happy for you.
00:02:27I mean, for 15 years, you have struggled to survive on an artist's budget.
00:02:31The future is bright.
00:02:33Well, the present is tight.
00:02:36I saw where you're still using our card to pay off your insurance premium this month.
00:02:41And I'm going to pay that back soon.
00:02:42Thank you.
00:02:43I had lunch with your old teacher, Brenda Post.
00:02:46Now she's the principal at that new Creative Arts and Technology High School.
00:02:50I love Brenda. You know, she's the reason I got into acting in the first place.
00:02:53Oh, now we know who to thank.
00:02:54Hush.
00:02:56One of her English teachers is going out on maternity leave for the rest of the year.
00:03:00She needs a sub. She thought of you.
00:03:02That's sweet of her.
00:03:04What's to thank?
00:03:06You spent two years getting your teacher's credential.
00:03:09Fifteen years ago as a backup plan.
00:03:11Exactly.
00:03:12Can't hurt to have a backup plan.
00:03:14Yeah, it's a couple of months you pay down your debt.
00:03:16And if this commercial pays off...
00:03:18Dad, it will.
00:03:19Well, then the rest is just icing on the cake.
00:03:23Here's Brenda's phone number.
00:03:25I don't...
00:03:35Okay.
00:03:51Roll sound.
00:03:53Rolling.
00:03:55Aim mark.
00:03:56And ready, and action!
00:03:59Rolling.
00:04:01Double R Root Beer, the true spirit of the West.
00:04:04Cut.
00:04:05Let's try one without the accent.
00:04:07Okay, here we go. We're gonna go in quickly.
00:04:09Jimmy and Crafty, where is he at?
00:04:11We're going right away, guys.
00:04:13Right away, right away.
00:04:14Here we go.
00:04:17Action.
00:04:21Double R Root Beer, the true spirit of the West.
00:04:24Cut.
00:04:29Nailed it in two takes.
00:04:32I think she likes you.
00:04:33So, get this.
00:04:35They're gonna air this commercial
00:04:37when the new Bruce Willis Western is released.
00:04:40When's that gonna happen?
00:04:41Couple of months.
00:04:43Marty, I need cash right now.
00:04:47Man up.
00:04:48You just made a national commercial
00:04:50that's tied to a major Hollywood picture.
00:04:52When this airs,
00:04:53you're gonna be milking this cash cow for a year.
00:04:56Ka-ching!
00:04:59Ka-ching!
00:05:18Hey, Mr. Brady.
00:05:19Hey, Mr. Intestine.
00:05:21Oh, you saw my commercial.
00:05:23Yeah, it runs through any 11 o'clock news.
00:05:25What I haven't seen is the rent check.
00:05:27Sorry, it's a little late this month.
00:05:29I got a dozen people that want this apartment.
00:05:31Look, I just shot a national commercial today.
00:05:34I'm not gonna be late anymore.
00:05:35It's just gonna take a couple months
00:05:37till it starts running.
00:05:38Okay, I got plenty of moving boxes if you need any.
00:05:40So, the check from today's day of filming,
00:05:43it's gonna be ready next week.
00:05:44I can give you that.
00:05:45Yeah, I'd consider that
00:05:47if I could hold something as security.
00:05:51Okay.
00:05:53Um...
00:05:58I don't really think I have anything you need.
00:06:01Oh, but I think you do.
00:06:28I swear I didn't do it, Principal Post.
00:06:30I've been framed.
00:06:31Ah-ha-ha-ha.
00:06:33Wayne Wenders says I live and breathe.
00:06:36Come on in. Sit down.
00:06:38Wow. Principal's office.
00:06:40I feel like I'm in trouble already.
00:06:42You are if you decide to teach high school.
00:06:44Huh. So, is this the pep talk part?
00:06:48I've seen grown men cry.
00:06:51Women join a convent.
00:06:53Anything.
00:06:54To find an easier life than teaching high school.
00:06:56Oh, that sounds great.
00:06:57When do I start?
00:06:58I just wanted to warn you.
00:07:00I know it's temporary,
00:07:01but I think you are the perfect person
00:07:04to substitute teach.
00:07:06You see, changes this late in the year
00:07:08can be difficult for the students,
00:07:10but your live-in-the-moment style
00:07:12is just what we need.
00:07:14So, you're looking for a kamikaze?
00:07:17Mrs. Henderson,
00:07:18the teacher that you will be replacing,
00:07:20was working on a project
00:07:23was working on Shakespeare with her class,
00:07:25and your theater background would be a perfect fit.
00:07:28Finally.
00:07:29Because it's useless in my current line of work.
00:07:31And you will be teaching a full English course.
00:07:34You know, grammar, vocabulary, the works.
00:07:36So, you'll be working under the supervision
00:07:38of Amy Danville,
00:07:39the head of our English department.
00:07:41Brenda, I want you to know
00:07:43I really appreciate this opportunity.
00:07:46I have great confidence in you.
00:07:52Oh, uh, this is Loretta.
00:07:55Mr. Wenders, Loretta is our office manager.
00:07:58She is omnipotent and omniscient.
00:08:01Is that true?
00:08:02I knew you were going to say that.
00:08:04It's true. She is omniscient.
00:08:06Believe me, around here, I'd rather be oblivious.
00:08:09Ah, oblivious and omnipotent.
00:08:11You should consider politics.
00:08:13This way.
00:08:14Bye.
00:08:15Bye.
00:08:16Bye.
00:08:22Amy, I'm sorry.
00:08:24Listen to this malapropism.
00:08:26The boy was very angry because his father
00:08:28had left without him to go shoot the peasants.
00:08:33Hi.
00:08:34I want you to meet Wayne.
00:08:36Wayne, this is Amy Danville, Wayne Wenders.
00:08:39Wayne will be filling in for Mrs. Henderson.
00:08:42Oh, okay. Nice to meet you.
00:08:44Sorry, have we met before?
00:08:46Oh, um...
00:08:52Are you ill?
00:08:54The irritable bowel syndrome.
00:08:58Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:09:00No, no, I don't have... I don't...
00:09:02It's a commercial.
00:09:04I'm the bowel dude.
00:09:06People recognize me from this commercial.
00:09:08How do we get Mr. Wenders up to speed?
00:09:11When will he start?
00:09:12Monday.
00:09:14You mean this Monday?
00:09:16Yes.
00:09:18Tell you what.
00:09:19Read this right away to acquaint yourself
00:09:21with our philosophy of education.
00:09:23Oh.

00:09:26to pedagogical methodologies
00:09:28in a project-based learning environment.
00:09:30Wow, somebody likes to use words, huh?
00:09:32Amy wrote that.
00:09:38Keys.
00:09:39If you lose them, you pay to have the whole campus re-keyed.
00:09:42I'll guard them with my life.
00:09:44Yeah, I recommend a retractable belt key clip.
00:09:47Practical and budget-friendly.
00:09:49Thank you.
00:09:50This is the state-mandated training video
00:09:52on blood-borne pathogens.
00:09:54It could save your life.

00:10:08What do I do for fun around here?
00:10:11I heard you were quite the joker, Mr. Winders.
00:10:13You're gonna want to watch that around the kids
00:10:15if you expect to be taken seriously.
00:10:19Oh, yes.
00:10:21Almost forgot.
00:10:23On behalf of the faculty and administration,
00:10:26welcome.
00:10:29Oh, my God.
00:10:44Oh, wrong, wrong, wrong.
00:10:59Oh!
00:11:01Oh, no.
00:11:02Oh.
00:11:033-D, hold up.
00:11:06Hey, I'm coming.
00:11:17Hey, yeah.
00:11:19Yeah? Okay.
00:11:22Hey, guys.
00:11:24My name is Wayne, Mr. Winders.
00:11:26I'll be taking over for Mrs. Henderson
00:11:28while she's on maternity leave,
00:11:30so I hear that you guys have been...
00:11:32Yes?
00:11:33Aren't you that bowel guy?
00:11:35Yes. Yes, I am.
00:11:39Now that we've gotten that fascinating fact out of the way,
00:11:42let's get back to one of the coolest playwrights
00:11:44to have ever lived, Shakespeare.
00:11:47Do you really have irritable bowel syndrome?
00:11:49No, I don't.
00:11:51So how many of you guys...
00:11:52Did you actually take the medicine?
00:11:54No, it was a commercial.
00:11:55Well, that doesn't seem very honest.
00:11:57Well, I think the audience understands
00:11:59that actors sometimes pretend to be people they're not, right?
00:12:03For instance, Shakespeare...
00:12:05But it doesn't say so in the commercial.
00:12:07It does, too, in a really fast voice at the end.
00:12:10Yeah, and they cause headaches.
00:12:12Bad breaths.
00:12:14Yeah, and they cause headaches.
00:12:16Bad breaths. Sweating. Memory loss. Paranoid delusions.
00:12:18Students?
00:12:19And this dude's only an actor.
00:12:23Why don't we start with a play you guys all know?
00:12:26You read Hamlet last semester.
00:12:28Who can tell me something that they liked about Hamlet?
00:12:30The end. It was boring.
00:12:33Mr. Winders, we have a question.
00:12:37Last question, then back to the bard.
00:12:39Yeah.
00:12:40What would happen if someone took the medicine
00:12:43even though they don't actually have irritable bowel syndrome?
00:12:46I don't know.
00:12:47Cheerful bowel syndrome.
00:13:08Hey.
00:13:09Wow.
00:13:11Tough first day.
00:13:13Does our insurance cover post-traumatic stress disorder?
00:13:17How did Shakespeare do?
00:13:21Okay.
00:13:23I give up.
00:13:25Tomorrow.
00:13:27Grammar.
00:13:29Your first lesson plan? Brilliant.
00:13:31I'm just...
00:13:32A little overwhelmed?
00:13:34Terrified, actually.
00:13:36If I can't interest them in the greatest playwright of all time,
00:13:40how am I going to make punctuation and parts of speech appealing?
00:13:44Huh?
00:13:45Well, one, make it fun.
00:13:49Use your own showmanship and the humor.
00:13:52Make it cool. Visual.
00:13:54Be creative.
00:13:56Have a good night.
00:14:10Beep, beep.
00:14:26All right, all right.
00:14:28Attention, folks.
00:14:29Your attention, please.
00:14:32Now, in this day and age of texting, instant messaging, twittering, and tweeting,
00:14:37we have let go of the proper grammatical form
00:14:40in the quest to use the least amount of characters possible.
00:14:45But I remind you, form matters.
00:14:48Punctuation means something.
00:14:50It has crucial meaning.
00:14:52Take, for instance, the following phrase.
00:14:55What's that ahead in the road?
00:14:59With very few changes, we can get...
00:15:03What's that ahead in the road?
00:15:15All right, folks, settle down.
00:15:17Settle down.
00:15:18It's just grammar, but as you can see, it's quite crucial to your survival.
00:15:22Now, today, we are going to be getting back to basics.
00:15:25We're going to be working on prepositional phrases.
00:15:27But before we do so,
00:15:29I would like to demonstrate to you the amazing power of prepositions.
00:15:33Please stay right where you are.
00:15:35I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.
00:15:36Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you on.
00:15:41Yes, that's right.
00:15:44I am on the desk.
00:15:45I could not be on the desk were it not for the preposition on.
00:15:50And on the desk is a prepositional phrase.
00:15:56Thank you.
00:15:59Thank you.
00:16:00Thank you.
00:16:12Standing on the desk, I hear.
00:16:14Trying to move up in the world.
00:16:20Student film contest.
00:16:22I was an extra on a movie once.
00:16:24In my younger days.
00:16:26Now, that is a waste.
00:16:28You, Miss Loretta, are definitely leading lady material.
00:16:35So how is it that you heard I was up on my desk?
00:16:40It's all the talk.
00:16:44Miss Danville, you have a sec?
00:16:46Yeah, sure.
00:16:47Come on in.
00:16:48How are things going?
00:16:49Better.
00:16:50I survived prepositional phrases.
00:16:52Survival is good.
00:16:54Important first step.
00:16:55Listen, there's this citywide student film contest.
00:16:59And I was thinking, we have all this video equipment.
00:17:04Can you connect me to it?
00:17:05Sure.
00:17:06Citywide student film contest.
00:17:08And I was thinking, we have all this video equipment.
00:17:12Can you connect the films to the curriculum?
00:17:14Absolutely.
00:17:15I mean, the kids are always complaining about how boring Shakespeare is.
00:17:18But I just think if we can act it out, they'd see it for the brilliant drama it is.
00:17:23It's just, it's impossible to teach them that.
00:17:26You have to show them that.
00:17:27They have the...
00:17:30What?
00:17:31I can sort of see why Brenda hired you.
00:17:34Because she was desperate.
00:17:35Yeah.
00:17:38Look, I think making little Shakespeare movies is a great idea.
00:17:43Just don't ignore the rest of the curriculum.
00:17:45You know, we have test scores to keep up.
00:17:47Yes, ma'am.
00:17:48Absolutely.
00:17:49Thank you.
00:17:50Anytime.
00:17:52Oh, Mr. Winders.
00:17:54Standing on the furniture.
00:17:56Oh.
00:17:57That's smart.
00:18:00Yeah.
00:18:05So, tell me, how is our Mr. Winders doing?
00:18:11You know, all right.
00:18:13Yeah, he had a bit of a rocky start there, but I think he's finding his way now.
00:18:18Good.
00:18:19Thank you for giving him a helping hand.
00:18:22He is one of the good guys, you know.
00:18:25I hope so.
00:18:27See you later.
00:18:28Okay.
00:18:30Let's go, people.
00:18:31So, for next Tuesday, I'd like each of you to pick your favorite character from Hamlet
00:18:36and write a one-minute monologue as that character about the toughest moment in your life.
00:18:41I doubt Hamlet ever had this much homework.
00:18:44Okay, so before we go to lunch, I wanted to talk to you guys about the upcoming student film festival.
00:18:50I thought we could try and shoot some Shakespeare scenes as short films and submit them.
00:18:56That sounds cool.
00:18:57So we get to make movies instead of reading the plays?
00:19:00No, we still have to do the reading.
00:19:02And it's still Shakespeare, so it's still boring.
00:19:04Yep.
00:19:05Okay.
00:19:06Think about it.
00:19:07I mean, the really cool part is we can do the scenes in all different kinds of styles.
00:19:11Look, we don't have to do Shakespeare in period costumes, right?
00:19:14No, of course not.
00:19:15We can shoot Hamlet, like Star Wars.
00:19:17Hamlet returns home from school on another planet to find out his father, the interstellar ambassador,
00:19:21has been murdered by his uncle.
00:19:23Or Midsummer Night's Dream.
00:19:24It's a really dark Alice in Wonderland world.
00:19:26Yeah, that would be nice.
00:19:27Yeah.
00:19:28That's exactly right, J.D.
00:19:29I mean, that's great.
00:19:30I'm going to find a play where the only women aren't evil or crazy.
00:19:34Okay.
00:19:35So, for Tuesday, please, a paragraph on what scene you'd like to do and why,
00:19:40and we're going to sort you out into groups.
00:19:42Journals, please.
00:19:43That's a good idea.
00:19:44Thank you.
00:19:46I made you a copy of my reel.
00:19:50Wow.
00:19:51The initial works of J.D. Forrester?
00:19:53I can't wait to watch this.
00:19:55Thanks.
00:19:58Hang on a second, J.D.
00:20:00I've got a feeling about something.
00:20:03What is it?
00:20:04I don't know.
00:20:05It's just a feeling.
00:20:06I don't know what it is.
00:20:07It's just a feeling.
00:20:08It's just a feeling.
00:20:09It's just a feeling.
00:20:10It's just a feeling.
00:20:11It's just a feeling.
00:20:12It's just a feeling.
00:20:13It's just a feeling.
00:20:14I've got a feeling about something.
00:20:16Do me a favor.
00:20:18Can you autograph that for me?
00:20:21Um, yeah, sure.
00:20:27I never gave my autograph before.
00:20:29Well, you better get used to it.
00:20:34All right.
00:20:39I think you have a fan.
00:20:41I can't.
00:20:42He's amazing.
00:20:43Why don't you come eat in Teacher's Lounge?
00:20:45I'd love to, but these journals aren't going to grade themselves.
00:20:48Oh, come on.
00:20:49It builds camaraderie with your colleagues.
00:21:01Come on in.
00:21:02We don't bite.
00:21:03I fed the spider to the fly.
00:21:05The movie star mixes with the common folk.
00:21:08Yeah, well, it's kind of lonely at the top.
00:21:11Oh, yes, this must all be very different for you, not what you're used to.
00:21:16Excuse me?
00:21:17Teaching.
00:21:18More work, less reward.
00:21:22Starving artists just are happy when the check's clear, I guess.
00:21:26Wait till the budget cuts kick in.
00:21:28You'll feel right at home.
00:21:31But you would agree that the entertainment industry is notorious for its excesses.
00:21:39Oh, absolutely.
00:21:40I'm just saying that I wish some of those excesses made their way over to me once in a while.
00:21:45I don't mean any disrespect, but I've always thought that it required a certain amount of selfishness to be an artist of any kind.
00:21:54Starving or successful.
00:21:56So let the guy eat his lunch.
00:21:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:59I'm serious.
00:22:01Here we are in a world where millions of children are starving every day, and there I am strutting about in front of the camera,
00:22:08painting my pictures, doing my art.
00:22:11A world without art? I don't know why I didn't think of that.
00:22:15I didn't see it.
00:22:16No painting, no sculpture, and no theater.
00:22:23Okay, you're not willing to have a serious conversation.
00:22:26Seriously, then. Come on.
00:22:30Without art, what's going to inspire us, huh?
00:22:33What's going to inspire our kids to end the hunger you're talking about?
00:22:36Good teachers.
00:22:37So teach what, exactly? Math, but not music? Science, not Shakespeare?
00:22:46That's a good point.
00:22:58It's a setup, I tell you. A setup.
00:23:00Yeah? Where's your proof? They all say that.
00:23:04You want proof?
00:23:05Look at me. Look at me in my eyes. You know me.
00:23:10What does your heart tell you?
00:23:13Okay, good.
00:23:21Oh, you're the irritable bowel syndrome guy.
00:23:25Yeah, that was a fun one.
00:23:28Would you mind sending in the next person, please?
00:23:41Hello?
00:23:42Marty, it wasn't an audition. It was psychological torture.
00:23:45The casting director read with me. What's the technical term?
00:23:49Oh, yeah. Brain dead.
00:23:57Wait, you still there?
00:23:59Sorry, can I call you back?
00:24:00Okay.
00:24:12Yeah, yeah, right here.
00:24:23Hi.
00:24:25Oh, hi.
00:24:26You stalking me, Mr. Winders?
00:24:28Well, I was going to ask you the same thing. I live just around the corner.
00:24:32What's your excuse, huh?
00:24:33Oh, I am meeting a friend who lives in the neighborhood.
00:24:36Okay. I think I believe you.
00:24:40You want to come join me until she gets here?
00:24:42I don't really think that's legal. It might be seen as fraternizing among staff.
00:24:48Oh, right. Yes, of course.
00:24:50Well, we are off school property, and this meeting is entirely happenstance.
00:24:56All right, all right. As long as we're very clear on the parameters.
00:24:59So clear.
00:25:06So, tell me the truth. Mr. Winders, are you enjoying teaching at all?
00:25:10Actually, I am.
00:25:13Sounds surprised.
00:25:14I just didn't think it was going to be so creative.
00:25:17You know, it's like you have to find a way to trick your students into learning.
00:25:20You know, each lesson is this little show you put on, hoping it's going to blow them away.
00:25:26I guess your acting background must really help, huh?
00:25:28Well, it helps me survive.
00:25:30Each time I'm up there, petrified, I just pretend to be in control.
00:25:35Yeah.
00:25:37You know, I have a really great respect for actors.
00:25:42Oh, yeah?
00:25:43I know I could never do it.
00:25:45You ever try it?
00:25:46Um, yeah, I did once.
00:25:53It was in high school, my junior year.
00:25:57They had auditions for Romeo and Juliet.
00:26:04And I was a really awkward girl.
00:26:08You?
00:26:10Yes, oh, glasses, braces, and yeah, the whole thing.
00:26:15So, I had to work extra hard.
00:26:18Wow.
00:26:20And?
00:26:21And I literally couldn't speak.
00:26:25Well, that always happens.
00:26:27So, I ran out of there.
00:26:34Ever try it again?
00:26:38It was a defining moment, shall we say.
00:26:45Well, for what it's worth, I would cast you as Juliet in a heartbeat.
00:26:51Thank you.
00:27:03Hey, Marty.
00:27:08Oh, no, it's Dara.
00:27:09Marcy's in a meeting, but I've got a good one for you.
00:27:12Can you make it to Culver City by 4.45?
00:27:14Barely, but yeah, I think so.
00:27:17Perfect.
00:27:18Where can I fax the sides?
00:27:19Fax?
00:27:20Who faxes anymore?
00:27:21Just email them.
00:27:22Look, production is super paranoid.
00:27:23They won't send anything online.
00:27:25Get me a fax number.
00:27:27All right, hang on.
00:27:30Hello, Sloan Talent Agency.
00:27:33No, what happened?
00:27:35We're on the radio.
00:27:36Oh, my gosh.
00:27:38Oh, how good is this?
00:27:39It's great.
00:27:40I love it.
00:27:52I think it's a good idea.
00:27:55Oh, my gosh.
00:27:56Oh, my gosh.
00:27:57Oh, my gosh.
00:27:58Oh, my gosh.
00:27:59Oh, my gosh.
00:28:00Oh, my gosh.
00:28:01Oh, my gosh.
00:28:02Oh, my gosh.
00:28:03Oh, my gosh.
00:28:04Oh, my gosh.
00:28:05Oh, my gosh.
00:28:06Oh, my gosh.
00:28:07Oh, my gosh.
00:28:08Oh, my gosh.
00:28:09Oh, my gosh.
00:28:10Oh, my gosh.
00:28:11Oh, my gosh.
00:28:12Oh, my gosh.
00:28:13Oh, my gosh.
00:28:14Oh, my gosh.
00:28:15Oh, my gosh.
00:28:16Oh, my gosh.
00:28:17Oh, my gosh.
00:28:18Oh, my gosh.
00:28:19Oh, my gosh.
00:28:20Oh, my gosh.
00:28:21Oh, my gosh.
00:28:22Oh, my gosh.
00:28:23Oh, my gosh.
00:28:29Okay, what was the audition for, honey?
00:28:36Fertilizer commercial.
00:28:37I almost died on the freeway for a chance
00:28:39to sell fertilizer.
00:28:41Well, stick with teaching.
00:28:42Double life's going to kill you.
00:28:45Dad, come on.
00:28:48She speaks.
00:28:50Oh, speak again, bright angel.
00:28:54Oh, Romeo. Romeo.
00:28:57Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
00:29:00Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
00:29:03Cut. Cut. Hang on. Look.
00:29:06These guys are teenagers, just like you, okay?
00:29:09They're teasing. They're testing.
00:29:11They're working it, okay?
00:29:13So just take a breath.
00:29:16Try it again, okay?
00:29:21Hello, Miss Danville.
00:29:24Hello. Hello. Sorry.
00:29:26Guys, didn't mean to interrupt.
00:29:29Hang on a second.
00:29:31I could use your help.
00:29:33Uh, with what?
00:29:35Well, these two could use a taste of how the dialogue should flow.
00:29:38It's not really working with me reading both parts.
00:29:40No, no, no, no, no. I can't.
00:29:42Please. I can't.
00:29:44Please, Miss Danville. I need to hear a woman do this.
00:29:47Every time Mr. Wenders reads it, I can't take him seriously.
00:29:51Okay, my Juliet needs a little bit of work.
00:29:54Please. Yeah, come on.
00:29:56Shh. Come on.
00:29:58Okay, okay.
00:30:00Here, let me take those.
00:30:02Come here. Come here. Come on.
00:30:06Okay.
00:30:08Um, you ready?
00:30:11Yes.
00:30:13She speaks.
00:30:17Oh, speak again, bright angel.
00:30:23Oh, Romeo.
00:30:25Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
00:30:29Deny thy father, and refuse thy name,
00:30:32or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
00:30:35and I'll no longer be a Capulet.
00:30:41Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
00:30:43Tis but thy name which is my enemy.
00:30:46What's in a name?
00:30:48That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
00:30:53Romeo, doff thy name,
00:30:55and for that name which is no part of thee, take all myself.
00:31:00I take thee at thy word, call me but love,
00:31:02and henceforth I never will be Romeo.
00:31:07What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night, so stumblest on my counsel?
00:31:11Why, a name I know not how to tell thee who I am.
00:31:13How cam'st thou, hither, tell me, and wherefore?
00:31:16The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
00:31:19and the place deaf, considering who thou art.
00:31:21If any of my kinsmen find thee...
00:31:34Take a bow.
00:31:36And that ends today's presentation of Impromptu Shakespeare.
00:31:40Everyone, back to class.
00:31:44You were great.
00:31:46Thank you.
00:31:47Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:31:48I could kill you.
00:31:49You were terrific.
00:31:50I am going to have to give you detention, mister.
00:31:52Worth it. That was fun.
00:31:57It was. It was fun.
00:32:01All right, I've got to go to class. You do too.
00:32:11Did you pass it on?
00:32:22Marty, I've got a minute.
00:32:23I've got some good news for you, kid.
00:32:25I totally agree.
00:32:27Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
00:32:41You okay, Mr. W?
00:32:43Oh, yeah.
00:32:49I just... I love grammar.
00:32:52I love it.
00:32:54Come on in, please.
00:32:56Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:32:58Come on in.
00:32:59No.
00:33:05Hello, ladies. Is the principal in?
00:33:08Is the principal in?
00:33:10No, monsieur. She's having lunch off campus.
00:33:12Oh.
00:33:13Did you win the lottery or something?
00:33:15Almost. They moved up my commercial. It starts tonight.
00:33:17Major Networks, 8 o'clock on the dot.
00:33:20How exciting.
00:33:22No more bowel guy.
00:33:24Now we have cowboy root beer dude.
00:33:27A fine example for our students.
00:33:29Sid, don't be a party pooper.
00:33:31Sorry. I'll go get the silly hats and confetti.
00:33:35You know, I have a feeling he doesn't like me.
00:33:38Well, I'll be watching for it.
00:33:40Great.
00:33:46It's coming up, Mom. Come on. Hurry.
00:33:48You know, this whole thing is backwards.
00:33:50He mutes the programs and then he turns it on for the commercials.
00:33:54Hey, how's the job going, honey?
00:33:56Yeah.
00:33:57Oh, you mean the job I no longer need?
00:33:59You're not going to quit, are you?
00:34:01No, of course not. I promised Brenda.
00:34:03Besides, the kids are really enjoying the short films we're making.
00:34:06Here's a break.
00:34:08Okay.
00:34:09They got a name for it.
00:34:10There it is.
00:34:11Oh, boy.
00:34:12It's coming.
00:34:13Things are different out here.
00:34:15The skies are wider.
00:34:17The land goes on forever.
00:34:20We take care of things in our own way.
00:34:23We always have.
00:34:25It's not cheap.
00:34:26Like everything else, a western thirst is its own special kind of thirsty.
00:34:32A thirst that means business.
00:34:34A thirst that needs to be tamed.
00:34:37So when you've got a thirst as big as the Grand Canyon,
00:34:41don't make a greenhorn mistake.
00:34:43Reach for Double R Root Beer.
00:34:46Made in the west to lasso a western thirst.
00:34:51Double R Root Beer.
00:34:53The true spirit of the west.
00:34:56So round yourself up a six-pack of Double R Root Beer, partner.
00:34:59Available at fine grocers everywhere.
00:35:02Darling, wasn't that supposed to be you?
00:35:06Could it have been?
00:35:08Oh, honey.
00:35:09Oh, boy.
00:35:11Oh, jeez.
00:35:13Well, next time.
00:35:15Okay.
00:35:18They say their demographics skewed more female than male.
00:35:21That's why they went with the girl.
00:35:23Oh, that's ridiculous.
00:35:24This has nothing to do with you.
00:35:26So, what's our next step?
00:35:30I'll tell you the truth.
00:35:31I'm having a little difficulty getting you in the door.
00:35:34People see you as the irritable bowel syndrome guy now.
00:35:38They don't want that associated with their product.
00:35:41So what do we do now?
00:35:43Give it some time.
00:35:45How long do I keep my head in the sand?
00:35:47I don't know.
00:35:53Hey, Mr. W.
00:35:57What's up with him?
00:36:01Heard he got cut out of his commercial.
00:36:13Guys, come on.
00:36:15I have an idea.
00:36:17Come on.
00:36:19Come on, guys.
00:36:22I have an idea.
00:36:24Come on.
00:36:27I know. That caught me out.
00:36:50Sorry about that. Listen, Brenda wants to see you.
00:36:54Just tell her I'm gonna get something to eat.
00:36:57It sounded serious.
00:37:02Mr. Troutman has noted some unprofessional activities such as bad attitude, incomplete
00:37:09paperwork, missing assemblies, commandeering school equipment for personal reasons,
00:37:16use of the school office equipment for personal business such as the fax machine.
00:37:21I missed an assembly once. I used the fax machine once. I will gladly reimburse the
00:37:26district if they prefer. Of course this is nonsense. The fact is Troutman can create
00:37:34problems for both of us if he wants to. You do want to keep this job, don't you?
00:37:41Yes. Now I really need this job.
00:37:44Look, I'm sorry about the commercial, but I went on the line to get you here.
00:37:50Please don't make me regret it.
00:37:56Hey.
00:37:59Hey.
00:38:00Hi.
00:38:14So
00:38:30uh
00:38:42teach your apple thing's a little cliche but uh
00:38:47it's a cool image. Sorry about the commercial, Mr. W. Thank you, guys.
00:38:53I needed that.
00:39:00So
00:39:17come take a look.
00:39:27Yeah.
00:39:30Poems. Beautiful.
00:39:33Wayne? Wayne, you there?
00:39:37Lord, is that you?
00:39:40Very funny. Your team needs you on the field.
00:39:45On my way.
00:39:50Duty calls.
00:39:51Yeah. Go.
00:40:01Let fall thy blade on vulnerable crests.
00:40:09I bear a charm's life which should not yield to one of woman born.
00:40:13Despair thy charm and let the angel whom thou stillest serve tell thee.
00:40:19It's two hours after school and they're still having a blast.
00:40:22Well, I've got the bug.
00:40:24We'll have thee as our rarest monsters are painted on a pole and underwrit here.
00:40:29May you see the tyrant.
00:40:31Excuse me. All of you need to get your stuff out of the building.
00:40:35Cut.
00:40:36We're rolling here, Mr. Troutman.
00:40:39Sid, you don't have to worry. I'll lock up. You can go home.
00:40:46Thank you for covering.
00:40:49Hey, Mr. Wenders, could you give us a hand? Um, something's not working. We really need you.
00:40:54Ah, you better go. They really need you.
00:40:59A camera?
00:41:04No, I feel like we need just a little more advice to this action scene.
00:41:21Is that subversive propaganda?
00:41:23Hardly.
00:41:27Henry V, oh, that's Branagh's best Shakespeare.
00:41:29Thought I might try to get a group of teachers to go together. Might be fun.
00:41:35Would you like a ride to the movie?
00:41:42Yes.
00:41:46Um, but, uh, you know, so we're clear. It's not, I can't, it's not a, you know, date.
00:41:57Of course not. No.
00:42:00It's a, a collaboration.
00:42:05A group of staff members seeking to enrich their knowledge of the immortal bard to,
00:42:13to expand their skills on their own initiative. We could even put in for overtime if you like.
00:42:19Okay.
00:42:20All right, then. It's, um, not a date.
00:42:24Um, all right. Well, see you then. Have a good night, Mr. Wenders.
00:42:29Good evening, Miss Danville.
00:43:29I'll be right there.
00:43:41Great.
00:43:50Hi.
00:43:51Wow, that was fast.
00:43:52I live on the first floor.
00:43:54Oh, you, uh, dress up nice.
00:43:58Thanks.
00:44:00Here, let me get that.
00:44:08Wow, I just, I think it's amazing that someone can write something
00:44:12400 years ago and it still touches people so much today.
00:44:17That stuff worked. It had to.
00:44:20Shakespeare had to please everyone from the groundlings who would throw their food if
00:44:23they were bored to the queen who could have his head if she was displeased.
00:44:26Well, I got a little stage fright.
00:44:30Oh, here's the car.
00:44:39Do you want to go get coffee?
00:44:47Yes, as long as I don't stay out too late.
00:44:53No, of course not. It's a school night.
00:44:56Yes, it is.
00:45:00So what do you mean you didn't date in high school?
00:45:03Why not?
00:45:05Jeez, guys, I told you.
00:45:06I just can't believe it.
00:45:08I was really awkward.
00:45:11If Bill Gates looked like you, I would have asked him out.
00:45:17You would have done well for yourself, huh?
00:45:19Well, I'm not sure I would have been as tight.
00:45:24You know, for not a date, I'm having a really wonderful time.
00:45:30Yeah, me too.
00:45:53I'll see you later, right?
00:46:00Yeah.
00:46:03Hello. Good morning, Mr. Winders.
00:46:05Hello, Miss Danville.
00:46:13What?
00:46:15I see nothing.
00:46:29Let's work. There you go.
00:46:36Spencer.
00:46:55I haven't the words to describe beauty,
00:46:58but I can introduce you to her if you'd like.
00:47:13I'm done. Thank you.
00:47:28Hi.
00:47:35Is it for the toast?
00:47:42Hi. Oh, thank you.
00:47:43Room for the beautiful bride.
00:47:45Ah, thanks, darling.
00:47:47So what's a nice girl like you doing working with my son?
00:47:52He's actually quite charming.
00:47:55Yeah, here he takes after his dad.
00:47:56Well, you hear right.
00:47:58Please do not encourage him.
00:48:00Let me get that.
00:48:00Okay, everybody.
00:48:01First, I want to thank you so much for being here on this special occasion.
00:48:06And now a toast to the love of my life.
00:48:09Ah, that'd be me.
00:48:10That is you on our 40th wedding anniversary.
00:48:14My dear, like fine wine, you do not grow older.
00:48:17That's more expensive.
00:48:20My son, the comedian.
00:48:22No, like fine wine, you grow more delicate,
00:48:26richer, and more pleasing with every year.
00:48:31Here, here.
00:48:33Cheers.
00:48:34Thanks for not saying full-bodied.
00:48:47But bear it as our Roman actors do.
00:48:51With untired spirits and formal constancy.
00:48:56So, good morrow to you, everyone.
00:49:08Wow, man, that's really great, J.D.
00:49:10Thanks.
00:49:11Two suggestions.
00:49:12I would use at least one more wide angle.
00:49:15It's a little claustrophobic.
00:49:17And using a wider angle is going to give it a little more scope.
00:49:19Also, I would lower the music cues.
00:49:22It's kind of leaning on your dialogue.
00:49:24Um, got it.
00:49:26I... oh, sorry.
00:49:29Hey, Marty.
00:49:29You still alive?
00:49:32Yeah, I know where it is.
00:49:35I could be there if I leave now?
00:49:39Okay.
00:49:40Yeah, thanks.
00:49:41Okay.
00:49:44Uh, I gotta go somewhere.
00:49:45Audition.
00:49:48How did you know?
00:49:49Makes sense.
00:49:51Look, I'm not supposed to leave you alone here, but I trust you.
00:49:54Just make sure you're out of here before they turn the alarms on.
00:49:57Got it.
00:49:59Good work.
00:50:00Thank you.
00:50:23So,
00:50:53Perfect.
00:51:02Okay.
00:51:03Oh, an audition.
00:51:05Not district business vendors.
00:51:09Meet me at ice cream shop.
00:51:12Isn't that sweet?
00:51:15All right, let's see who else you've been emailing.
00:51:20A zombie movie, huh?
00:51:24Yuck.
00:51:25Well, it's a leading role.
00:51:26I usually don't get to read from movie parts this big.
00:51:29You have to eat brains.
00:51:31For this role, I would eat brains all day long.
00:51:34I haven't had an audition in so long.
00:51:38You should do more theater.
00:51:39Teaching's kind of the perfect day job for it, right?
00:51:43Most rehearsals are at night.
00:51:45Yikes.
00:51:47What?
00:51:48You make it sound like a hobby.
00:51:49What do you mean?
00:51:50You make it sound like I'm an amateur.
00:51:54No, no, okay.
00:51:57Sorry, people use the word amateur like it means not good enough to get paid.
00:52:01But ama, love, ture, one who.
00:52:06It just means one who does it for love.
00:52:10Well, I can assure you, Mademoiselle, I do it for love.
00:52:18Hey, if a full-time teaching position came up next year, would you consider it?
00:52:30Next year?
00:52:31Yeah, what?
00:52:32No, I just, I've never really been in a next year scenario.
00:52:35Always gig to gig.
00:52:38You two working late?
00:52:40Sid, hi.
00:52:40Yes, what a surprise.
00:52:42I come by for a bite to eat.
00:52:45Who do I see?
00:52:46Yeah, I'm surprised too.
00:52:47I never really took you for an ice cream guy.
00:52:49More of a liver and onions.
00:52:50Yes, you with your jokes.
00:52:52It would be interesting to see you in a serious situation someday.
00:52:59Well, enjoy your evening.
00:53:03Yeah.
00:53:04See you.
00:53:09Stop, this isn't funny.
00:53:10He saw us together.
00:53:11This is, this is bad.
00:53:13What can he do?
00:53:13One of us could have to transfer schools.
00:53:16You really think so?
00:53:25Hey, Marty.
00:53:26I'm about to head in.
00:53:28You gotta be kidding me.
00:53:31Oh, that's awesome.
00:53:33You just found out?
00:53:36Oh, and what's the pay?
00:53:42You didn't actually think that I would be happy about this, did you?
00:53:47I know, and I feel terrible, but you have to understand what a break this is for me.
00:53:51I can't turn down a lead role six weeks.
00:53:54Did I imagine that you said you would commit to this job?
00:53:59Well, I assumed it was a given if I got a major role.
00:54:02Hamlet on Broadway, maybe, but a zombie movie in Canada, really?
00:54:07I have another week.
00:54:08You can get a sub for my classes, and I was hoping you could run movie night.
00:54:13Oh, all right.
00:54:16I can host the film screening, but I cannot oversee their projects.
00:54:22More importantly, have you thought about what this is teaching your students?
00:54:33So the poem celebrates Van Gogh's brilliance,
00:54:37balanced against the terrible loss of his death.
00:54:40Please write a one-page response to this for Monday.
00:54:45How else can we measure success besides money?
00:54:57Hello, Mr. Wenders.
00:54:59Stand-o?
00:55:06What?
00:55:07I got the lead zombie movie.
00:55:10Oh, that's so nice.
00:55:13Six weeks in Toronto.
00:55:14Wow, when does it start?
00:55:16About a week.
00:55:20A week?
00:55:21We got a lot to talk about.
00:55:22Tonight, we celebrate.
00:55:36Guys, sorry.
00:55:40You're leaving us?
00:55:42I was just going to tell you guys.
00:55:43How'd you find out?
00:55:44I was making script copies in the office, and I overheard the principal telling Loretta.
00:55:49Well, I have no choice.
00:55:52This is the chance of a lifetime.
00:55:54What about us?
00:55:55All our projects?
00:55:55Yeah, go on.
00:55:56You guys are doing great.
00:55:57JD's cuts are fantastic.
00:55:59Principal Post is going to run the screening.
00:56:02Oh, great.
00:56:02They'll get a sub for my classes.
00:56:04Anyone can do my job.
00:56:05No one did before.
00:56:10JD, wait.
00:56:12JD.
00:56:22I'm going to be here for a whole other week, okay, guys?
00:56:25Let's stay focused.
00:56:26We want to finish this year strong.
00:56:40You know, I was thinking, after you finish school, I could fly you up to location.
00:56:51It'd be fun.
00:56:53Yeah, maybe.
00:56:56You okay?
00:56:59Sorry, I'm just a little tired and confused.
00:57:03I think I just need a good night's rest.
00:57:06I'll see you tomorrow.
00:57:09I know it's weird.
00:57:10I feel terrible about it on the one hand, but I mean, I can't pass up this chance.
00:57:21Yeah.
00:57:24No, I'm sorry.
00:57:27I mean, a zombie movie, it just does not strike me as such a great opportunity
00:57:33that you can walk away from the kids.
00:57:35Well, a lot of successful actors started in horror, so...
00:57:42I know.
00:57:44Like, I'm not questioning the nature of the opportunity for you.
00:57:47It's not about that.
00:57:48It's...
00:57:56I mean, I think I just need a little time to process this whole thing, that's all.
00:58:01Yeah.
00:58:04I'll see you tomorrow.
00:58:05Okay.
00:58:36Can I come in?
00:58:37Um, sure.
00:58:41I, uh, I heard about Wenders.
00:58:44I'm sorry.
00:58:45I know you two had become close.
00:58:48I don't really care to discuss it.
00:58:50Oh, but I think there's something you should know.
00:58:54Uh, had he not quit, I might have had him fired.
00:59:01For dating me?
00:59:02Oh, no, Amy.
00:59:05Uh, it turns out he was playing us all along.
00:59:14We did an email audit.
00:59:17I know.
00:59:17Some of the personal ones I managed to keep out of the file.
00:59:21But there is a whole series with his agent.
00:59:36From the beginning, he was begging to get out of here.
00:59:40And he does not describe us in the kindest terms.
00:59:55I guess it's all been an act.
01:00:02Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be honest with you.
01:00:05I was shocked at the poor level of writing in these essays.
01:00:08It was like you gave up.
01:00:12You can't do that.
01:00:31Hi.
01:00:33Oh, Mr. Wenders.
01:00:39What's wrong?
01:00:40I'm just really busy.
01:00:41Is there something you need?
01:00:43Yeah, I need you.
01:00:49Um, what's the matter?
01:00:55Okay, I'm at a loss here.
01:00:59Yeah, well, then as am I.
01:01:03Hey, I know you're upset about the job, Amy.
01:01:09Hey, what about us?
01:01:12Us? Half of us is you.
01:01:15Amy.
01:01:17And I'm beginning to see I don't know who that is.
01:01:26Look, I don't know what happened.
01:01:29Okay, I'm sorry about my decision.
01:01:33Okay.
01:01:51You work so hard.
01:01:53And the kids work so hard.
01:01:54Dad, I'm an actor, okay?
01:01:56This is what I do.
01:01:57Well, so act.
01:01:59You know, do your plays and your summer stock.
01:02:02Make something for the tube you.
01:02:03It's YouTube.
01:02:04It's not the same thing.
01:02:05Look, I'm a professional.
01:02:07I'm finally being offered a lead role.
01:02:09I need to take it.
01:02:12Son, I honestly believe that if you do this,
01:02:16you may regret it for the rest of your life.
01:02:19How can doing a horror movie ruin my life?
01:02:21I'm not talking about this stupid film.
01:02:26And commitment is action.
01:02:32And there's a real acting lesson for you, buddy.
01:02:44You know what? I need to take a walk.
01:02:48Wayne.
01:02:48Let him go.
01:02:53Not wanting to grow up, Peter stayed in Neverland.
01:02:56Wendy grew old, but never forgot about him.
01:02:59It was love in its purest form.
01:03:02The end.
01:03:10Miss Danville, are you okay?
01:03:19Uh, yes.
01:03:21I'm sorry.
01:03:23That was just...
01:03:23It was such a good book report.
01:03:27I'm just really moved.
01:03:29Good job.
01:03:32Yeah.
01:03:35Yeah, right.
01:03:38Okay, who's next?
01:04:31Good night, good night.
01:04:52Parting is such sweet sorrow,
01:04:54that I shall say good night to let be morrow.
01:04:56Cut!
01:04:57Okay, it's good enough.
01:04:59Let's wrap it up.
01:05:01Good enough.
01:05:05Good enough.
01:05:06Where's your passion, huh?
01:05:08Where's your commitment?
01:05:09Is this a lesson in irony?
01:05:11Touche, Mr. Forster.
01:05:13In fact, it is, but...
01:05:15Lesson wasn't for you to learn.
01:05:17It was for me.
01:05:20See, the great thing about being a teacher
01:05:21is that you get to keep learning from your students.
01:05:25And in this case, you, my students, my collaborators.
01:05:31You taught me a whole lot about creativity,
01:05:34about commitment, about making choices.
01:05:38You see, this is the nearly tragic story of a man
01:05:42who was given a great opportunity,
01:05:44an opportunity to use all his talent,
01:05:48his heart, his mind,
01:05:51to do something extraordinary,
01:05:53and he nearly walked away from it.
01:05:57I want you to know I'm proud of every single one of you.
01:06:00I hope you can forgive my temporary lapse in judgment.
01:06:08I'd have to be crazy to walk away from what we're doing here.
01:06:15You're passing on the zombie movie?
01:06:17I don't need zombies.
01:06:19I get to work with real monsters.
01:06:20Come on.
01:06:29We got work to do.
01:06:30Let's go.
01:06:31Let's try it again from the top.
01:06:39All right, people.
01:06:42What's up?
01:06:42Mr. Wenders is staying.
01:06:47I knew I was right about him.
01:06:49I just knew it.
01:06:50Good news, huh?
01:07:20So,
01:07:51how could you do this to your favorite teacher?
01:08:12There you go.
01:08:13Thanks.
01:08:20So,
01:08:50what
01:09:20Wayne,
01:09:22I'm pleased you came back for the kids
01:09:24and for the movie projects and,
01:09:28well, I guess for me.
01:09:31But I'm having a hard time reconciling my feelings
01:09:35with these emails you wrote.
01:09:37I fear that this is the real you.
01:09:50Are you sure I'm doing it right?
01:10:07No.
01:10:07I would have known if we did an email audit.
01:10:09But where did she get these?
01:10:11I don't know.
01:10:15But I know someone who could help us figure it out.
01:10:21It's Trautman.
01:10:25He must have scanned the emails from here.
01:10:27You should never forget to log off your account when you print them out in his office.
01:10:31And his mistake was he didn't erase it from the print logs.
01:10:36Well, I didn't know how.
01:10:37Marty, thank you for getting me out of here.
01:10:40I couldn't keep up this performance any longer,
01:10:43even with such a gullible audience.
01:10:45Pretty as one may be.
01:10:46Oh, ouch.
01:10:47But I didn't write that.
01:10:48There it is.
01:10:49Trautman wrote it himself.
01:10:50But he never sent it.
01:10:52He didn't want you to be alerted by your agent.
01:10:53Plus, he didn't even insert your agent's email address.
01:10:56Obviously, it wasn't written by you.
01:10:58Kid, I'm just glad you're on our side.
01:11:02JD, you did great.
01:11:03Really.
01:11:04We gotta get ready for tonight, though.
01:11:05Yeah.
01:11:06Wow.
01:11:20Wait, break a leg.
01:11:45Isn't that what they say on opening night?
01:11:47Thank you.
01:11:48And Mr. Wenders is the teacher responsible for tonight's cinematic entertainment.
01:11:54Mr. Wenders, may I introduce Mrs. Isabelle Bayliss of the school board
01:11:58and Miss Millicent Kane, vice chair of the district education committee.
01:12:03Oh, welcome.
01:12:05Pleasure.
01:12:06Pleasure to have you here.
01:12:07I can't really take much credit.
01:12:09Kids did all the work.
01:12:11Hope you enjoy yourselves.
01:12:12Hello, Millie.
01:12:13What a surprise.
01:12:15Sid didn't tell me that you were planning on coming.
01:12:30JD, come to the stage door.
01:12:32Mr. W's giving a pep talk.
01:13:14You're gonna pass out.
01:13:28Well, as they say, it's showtime, folks.
01:13:32How many guys are nervous?
01:13:33Yeah, I am.
01:13:34Yeah, me too.
01:13:36I gotta tell you, I've done a lot of shows in my life, but I have never been this excited.
01:13:39You guys should be really, really proud of yourselves.
01:13:41We're proud of you too, Mr. W.
01:13:43You da man.
01:13:45Thank you.
01:13:46All right, let's get in there.
01:13:47Remember, you guys, break a leg.
01:13:49Proud of you.
01:14:08Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our first ever senior student Shakespeare Film Festival.
01:14:13Please remember to turn off your cell phones, game consoles, and any other weapons of mass
01:14:17destruction.
01:14:19And now, here's your host, Mr. Wayne Wenders.
01:14:34Mom, Dad, hi.
01:14:39Thank you all.
01:14:40I'm very proud to be here tonight.
01:14:43Just wanted to bring your attention to the front row, first of all.
01:14:45And also, back in the booth, Mr. J.D. Forrester.
01:14:48He's the young filmmakers who get to see their work in front of a real audience for the first
01:14:52time.
01:14:54They all deserve a huge round of applause for their hard work, their talent, and their
01:15:07commitment.
01:15:13So then, without much ado, enjoy the show.
01:15:43Lay down, showtime.
01:16:13What soft, what light through yonder window breaks.
01:16:27Juliet, she's the sun.
01:16:32Oh, Romeo.
01:16:34Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?
01:16:36If you deny thy father, and he refuse thy name, or thou will not.
01:16:42Looking for this?
01:16:44How?
01:16:45DVD's just a backup.
01:16:46Play it off the hard drive.
01:16:47Much better picture quality.
01:16:51I will end you.
01:16:52And a little hint.
01:16:54Always check for eyes in the sky.
01:17:06Despair that charm.
01:17:12And let the angels, whom thou still have served, tell thee,
01:17:15Macduff was of his mother's womb, untimely writ.
01:17:31To be, or not to be.
01:17:33That is the question.
01:17:39Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
01:17:44or to take arms against a sea of troubles.
01:17:49What is going on?
01:17:51It pains me to report that I have proof, irrefutable proof, that Mr. Wenders and Miss
01:17:59Danville are engaged in an inappropriate personal relationship which directly
01:18:03contradicts district policy against fraternization amongst staff.
01:18:07And this proof is on this DVD?
01:18:20I have backups.
01:18:22I don't doubt you do.
01:18:24But I would think long and hard about who I showed them to,
01:18:27because I have proof, too.
01:18:30What?
01:18:31Irrefutable proof that you hacked into a school computer impersonating a member of staff
01:18:37in a malicious attempt at blackmail and intimidation.
01:18:43I never.
01:18:43Oh, yes, you did.
01:18:45So even if Amy and Wayne's indiscretion might get them into trouble with the school board,
01:18:52what you did could get you a criminal record.
01:18:58Well, I can't stand around and talk here all day.
01:19:02I'm in the middle of a screening.
01:20:22Should we do that?
01:20:30Yeah, we should.
01:20:31Mr. Wenders.
01:20:36Miss Danville.
01:20:41Bravo.
01:20:44It was an excellent show.
01:20:48Thank you.
01:20:52The principal informed me that, um, you were the victim of malicious identity theft.
01:21:13So, uh, does this mean we're collaborating again?
01:21:22I was kind of hoping more along the lines of fraternizing.
01:21:45I'm going to give you two detention.
01:21:52That's worth it.
01:22:09Now, sir, what is your text?
01:22:11Most sweet lady.
01:22:13A comfortable doctrine, and much may be said of it.
01:22:15Where lies your text?
01:22:18In Orsino's bosom.
01:22:19In his bosom?
01:22:21In what chapter of his bosom?
01:22:22To answer by the method in the first of his heart.
01:22:25Oh, I have read it.
01:22:27It is heresy.
01:22:28Have you no more to say?
01:22:30Good madam, let me see your face.
01:22:33Have you any commission from your lord to negotiate with my face?
01:22:37You are now out of your text, but we will draw the curtain and let you see the picture.
01:22:43Look you, sir.
01:22:49Such a one I was this present.
01:22:51It's not well done.
01:22:53So, Amy, have you decided when exactly?
01:22:57This new kid, Amy Danville, is a pretty good actor, huh?
01:23:00Brilliant.
01:23:01With a committed fan base.
01:23:05So tell me, how is it being a producer of Somerset Theatre?
01:23:08Oh, the perks are great.
01:23:11But the pay is horrendous.
01:23:14Speaking of pay, I'm dealing with some staff problems at my day job.
01:23:19Oh.
01:23:20Now that Troutman has been transferred to a new school.
01:23:23Surprise, surprise.
01:23:25And Mrs. Henderson has decided to take a year off to be with her baby.
01:23:30I'm searching for a suitable replacement.
01:23:36Does this mean I'll get a trailer?
01:23:39No.
01:23:41Huh.
01:23:43But there is money in the back end.
01:23:44No.
01:23:48I believe I will have to check with my people then.
01:23:52You do that.
01:23:54See you tonight.
01:23:56Okay, folks, let's break.
01:23:5815 minutes.
01:23:59Please be back in 15 minutes.
01:24:04Is Brenda okay?
01:24:05Oh, she's okay.
01:24:06She just, you know, wanted to offer me a job.
01:24:09Full-time teaching position.
01:24:12You're kidding.
01:24:12What'd you say?
01:24:14Well, you know, I've had problems with the commitment of the past.
01:24:19Right.
01:24:21So?
01:24:21So, uh, so first things first.
