6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park Page #6

---

so I anticipate that

we'll go real long hours.

So we need some pretty

significant cuts.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Almost every week

on Sunday or Monday,

I'm pretty bummed out.

I'm pretty much just like, "ugh."

And then I kind of get a

little better on Tuesday,

maybe a little bummed out,

and then Trey gets really

bummed out on Tuesday.

We kind of hit our lulls or whatever,

but I'm always like, Sunday,

Monday, I'm like, "oh, my God.

This, the show, this thing sucks."

Terrible.

I'm embarrassed for putting

this piece of sh*t on the air.

A lot of funny stuff's just

gonna have to get cut out.

You just can't have a show

where "A" to "B"

doesn't make any sense.

And I'm bummed, 'cause I know,

based on what I've handed

over and everything,

it's not gonna be a 5:00 A.M. day.

It's gonna be a 9:00, 10:00 A.M. day.

Beginning of act two is that;

Then we come back,

and that's when it's,

"okay, the Geniuses

are gonna see us now."

And then, act three,

we just start with the

unveiling of the thing.

And then we go to,

they're doing the bubble thing,

and Gerald flips out, joins Apple.

We're back, and that's it.

That's great.

Yeah, that actually works.

Hey, script's here, guys. Hey.

Oh, thanks, Rick.

To keep the action balanced over here,

she's back here.

Yeah, right now, we just got...

I just dropped in the audio.

We're pulling the storyboards.

I was in a hurry, you see,

and I didn't know what

I was agreeing to.

I can't even read "Engrish."

See...I want to redo

these lines all wild.

Do it wild.

I just want to get 'em again.

I just clicked "agree."

I-I didn't read it.

I was in a hurry, you see,

and I-I-I didn't know

what I was agreeing to.

- Yeah. That's good.

- Great.

It's okay if he starts out...

Well, no, that doesn't really

have any logical sense, mommy,

because I'm already being punished

by not getting the iPad.

Mama.

Please, can we just go back

and get the Toshiba Handibook?

No!

Well, then can we at

least pull up here

and get some dinner?

'Cause I like to be wined and dined

after I've been f***ed!

Come on.

We'll get you separated, little boy.

Guess you won't be eating

Japanese food for a while, huh?

Oh, no, don't make

me "raff." Don't make me "raff."

I always feel like,

"wow, I wish I had another

day with this show."

That's the reason that there's

so many episodes of South Park

we're able to get done,

is 'cause there just is a deadline,

and you can't keep going,

'cause there would be

so many shows that I'm like,

"no, no, it's not ready yet.

Not ready yet."

And I would have spent

four weeks on one show.

All you do is start

second-guessing yourself

and rewriting stuff,

and it gets over-thought,

and it would have been 5% better.

Why did you do this to me, God?

Next time you're

gonna get my hopes up,

could you please take

me to a grease monkey?

'Cause I like to get

lubed up before I get f***ed!

The draft is ready,

but that's the only part.

Good job.

Okay, good job, you guys. Excellent.

Thank you.

- Do this to the camera.

- For the camera.

I think it's a good episode.

It's really twisted,

but Trey can't see it that way.

Trey won't be able to

see it that way today.

Wednesday morning,

after finishing an episode,

he never likes it.

First shows usually kill us,

kill us, and this one did,

and that will have a ripple effect.

I mean, that's good.

The first couple episodes,

we actually delivered

a couple days early.

We don't do that anymore.

It was a little bit

sloppy and reckless,

but sometimes, especially after

something like Book of Mormon,

we just got to get back in that way,

and hopefully the shows will

get a little tighter as we go.

Got 18 minutes to

have this tape feeding

to New York so that

they can begin roll.

Excellent. Great.

All right. See you again next week.

All right, you guys. Thank you.

One down. Six to go.
