Everybody's fighting for some cause
Some belief system.
The kids on occupy wall street.
The religious Jews fighting against
against the draft in Israel.
Christians.
It all keeps us separate,
distant from ourselves.
We're all wearing
masks, and don't even realize it.
It's a natural defense
of our subconscious.
What a sad veil we all wear...
Will we ever wake up?
Take off the mask's and
realize who we really are?
Is it possible one day decades from now,
that we could share a common belief?
A purpose
for the greater
good of the people in this city.
In this world?
What a difference that would make.
Maybe one day?
- I'm Sorry miss, I didn't
mean that, are you ok?
- Yeah I'm fine sorry
it's my fault, bad habit
I was rushing not paying
attention, but you know
It's not a good
idea to read and walk.
I probably just
saved your life Miss!
Yes maybe you did,
maybe you saved my life.
- Well maybe I did?
- Yeah well Maybe you did?
You sound like
a Cop or something?
I'm actually a Detective.
- Really? Your joking?
- No
Well you know if you bump
into a Woman and she's in a bad mood
she might have you sued
for sexual harassment.
Now your sounding like a Lawyer?
Your joking your a
Lawyer that's too funny!
- Whats your name?
- I'm Aponi.
What a beautiful name.
I'm Jack, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you Jack,
- So Where you going to on this lovely day?
Actually headed that way
I'm going to the Actor's Studio.
- Taking classes
- That's incredible I'm going there too!
- Oh -Listen I'm going to grab a quick
coffee and I'll meet you there.
- Alright
- can I get you something coffee, tea?
- Ah... coffee?
- Regular? -Sure!
- Well I want to go don't want to be late!
It's my first class. -alright..
- Sorry what was your name again?
- Jack...
- Jack... ok alright bye bye.
- Bye
Ok... now for the
entire class
we're gonna work
on an intimate moment.
Every year my Aunt, my Uncle
would take us to a book store...
One day we were out swimming
and the riptide was really strong...
um and, for the first
time I felt like I saw my
Dad who was my hero the
bravest man in the world
I saw him get really scared.
It was a fantastic Lemonade
stand we had every summer.
We would set this up and we made
It was mostly water a little bit of
lemon and a lot of Sugar!
Great Job! We could all get some strong
visuals from the story that she told.
We could all see the
Lemonade stand and taste
it from her description,
excellent job!
Ok, who would like to be next?
Jack?
Can you go back and recall some
of your earliest memories as a child?
Im not sure I follow? I mean what
do you mean like high school,
girlfriends football? I don't
know what you mean really?
Try to tap into your emotions,
try and remember what
moved you or even inspired
you or even hurt you?
I had an ok childhood I
guess like any other kid.
We had ups and downs
and some struggles too.
What do you mean by struggles?
You were only a child?
We were pretty poor, Greg and me
we didn't give it much thought.
I mean, we had each other,
and our dog, Penny.
Our German Shepherd she was so
beautiful she went everywhere with us.
I remember one walking back one
afternoon and Mom picked us up
Which was unusual
Get in the car boys!
I said get in the car!
She said she wanted to go for
a ride in the Country.
and a half.
She pulled over,
Jack I'm just gonna take her out
ok Penny's go to do her business.
Ok boy's just ah, wait in the car,
and mommy and penny will be right back, ok.
- Penny! Penny! Penny! -It's not
a big deal Jack! Calm down!
She gave us some bullshit story
that Penny would be ok and find a new Home.
I knew that was a lie.
- Go! Go!
I said get in the car!
You forgot Penny?
Ma you forgot Penny!
Please go back and get her!
Penny is going to be just fine!
Penny! Penny! Penny!
I ran away the next day
looking for that dog.
Years later my brother became ah,
rebellious.
Quit school
That dog was
unconditional love for us.
That's all we had, something our
mother couldn't give us.
Jack, I don't know what to say?
One someone opens up such a personal side
of their life, you can only thank them.
As actors we have to be able to tap
into these emotions from our own life.
And intertwine them with
the character that we
might be playing, we must
be this transparent.
- Nice work Jack.
Are you Ok?
Yeah I'm alright.
Gosh it was such an awful story
I'm sorry you had to go through that.
- Thanks
- You'll be alright.
You know that intimate scene
took a lot out of me in class.
to tap into our emotion,
so we can better understand everything.
I really love this class,
and I always want to be
I've always wanted
to be a Lawyer.
I went to Law school studied criminal
defense and..
But to say, I do like this class it's
giving me confidence in the court room.
- Trials and things, I love what I do it's
different from day to day a real challenge!
- That's great I wish I could say
that about my career. -Why?
Well I just followed in
my Uncle's footsteps. You know being a cop.
Why don't you give me one?
Alright I'll have
a dry Martini shaken not stirred.
Wow that was great! it's James Bond!
- Yes!
- Sean Connery He's the best one!
- He's totally the Best! Absolutely!
- You know your quick! Let
me give you one more. -Ok!
Im an excellent driver, I'm
definitely an excellent driver.
AhTim Allen?
No I'm just kidding! Just Kidding!
Alright I know this Ah, um, don't tell me!
Don't tell me -I got to have pancakes
- Oh! -Pancakes Dustin Hoffman!
- Yes! Um, UmRain Man! -Yes!
Good Job! Awesome!
Do you mind if I
ask you something?
You can ask me
anything you want.
Um, Gosh, I don't know how to say
this? Alright I'll just ask you.
Have you ever had to use your weapon?
Like, discharge it?
Yeah, I pulled my weapon out a
couple of times but,
About two months ago...
- Ended up shooting this young black kid.
- Why?
He was driving this old beat up car
it was 2am he was swerving.
It was a bad neighborhood, with drugs!
I went to the window asked for his license
and registration.
- And he wouldn't
role down the window.
So I asked him again
License, registration?
He didn't do it.
He reaches underneath his legs,
with the glare, what it looked like
- You thought it was a gun?
- I thought it was a gun, so I fired.
Did he live? -Oh yeah nothing
happen to him thank God!
He was in the hospital for a
couple of weeks.
Doctor's said he was lucky.
I felt terrible
So ah, why did you want to become a lawyer?
Well I think your case is a
a perfect example.
There was a kid on the block his
name was Freddy and
He was a great kid, he was a dork
