Confessions of a Superhero Page #5

---

Very man--

with very long Italian names.

[speaking foreign language]

And of course, me,

I played bodyguard

and security,

And of course,

made him money in the ring.

And I used to fight under

the name of maximus canavino.

That's--and of course,

we were gladiators.

That's when the movie

gladiator came out,

And I thought

that was just the bomb.

Ooh, nice.

[both laughing]

There are some things that

have happened in Maxwell's past

That I think

were detrimental to him.

I think some of it

was a little shady,

Kind of like

gang-oriented type things.

Okay, as far as doing the things

you see in the movies,

Such as collecting,

collections and stuff like that,

Unfortunately,

the answer would be yes.

Not that we

would break kneecaps,

But we would make them

think of death.

We have--I have slapped

a few men around more than once

Because of the fact

that they wouldn't do

What they were supposed to.

(Goulston)

well, Bruce Wayne.

We meet again.

How you doing, sir?

Nice office.

How you doing, sir?

Pleasure to meet you.

Nice costume.

Batman--well, let's just say

Batman has a lot

of suppressed anger

For one thing.

Yeah, a lot of skeletons

in the closet,

Let's just say.

[laughs]

So yeah, but for years,

I've probably needed

to see a psychiatrist,

Someone to help me

with the problems

Or how to overcome

the problem.

And the biggest problem

is the anger.

Anger's probably the thing now.

What triggers it?

God, a lot of things,

a lot of things.

But all my life,

I mean, you know,

All my life, even as a kid,

I've always had

suppressed anger,

Always had a fight,

always had a battle.

You know, and of course,

in the younger years,

There's a lot of bad things

I did back then.

Have you ever hurt someone

real bad?

Oh, yes.

Unfortunately, yes.

Uh, like to the hospital

and then some or--

And then some.

We--

yeah, we won't--

Well, yeah,

they've already--

Yeah, I've, uh,

Unfortunately left a body count

between that one too.

(Dennis)

you're giving me

a hard time.

Pardon me.

Pardon me, guys.

Cutting through,

guys.

Here come the limos.

Here they are.

They're here.

Antonio!

He's signing.

Melanie's here.

She's over there.

Hey, Melanie!

Antonio!

Antonio!

Over here!

Antonio!

(man)

I think he's coming.

(Dennis)

Antonio!

Antonio,

please.

Can you please sign

the DVD right here for me?

Thank you.

Yes, we got Antonio Banderas,

and we got Antonio Banderas.

We got them both.

[exotic music playing]

%%

(Dennis)

hi, you sure may.

There we go.

Oh, we do work on tips.

Let's see

if I have dollars.

So do you do this

all the time?

When I'm not working

in movies and TV shows.

Okay.

I'm serious.

I'm also an actor.

Let's see, I've been

in, like, 18 movies,

9 TV shows, 4 commercials,

and a couple music videos.

% moving to the left,

moving to the right.%

% moving to the right. %

% give it up. %

% do the lumba. %

% give it up

to the Summer. %

% doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. %

There's just so many of us

That they don't know

who to take the chances on.

You know, you have to really

give them something

That lets them say,

"ooh, money.

I can make money with this one."

All righty.

Good morning.

Good morning.

So tell me the bottom line,

what we're doing,

And what you want

to accomplish.

Okay, I have a meeting

with a manager tomorrow.

Uh-huh.

So I need a manager,

'cause my agent

doesn't work for me,

And I've signed

a two-year contract with her.

Okay.

And I need somebody

who's gonna work for me,

'cause this is a scene

from a movie

That I got down

to the bottom two,

But my agent

wasn't working for me,

And if I could just have

somebody in my corner,

I feel like I could be

a lot more successful.

Now let's read through

this first scene

And see what happens.

Okay.

Get away from me.

Listen, Lise,

it wasn't me.

Well, then,

who else was it, then?

You're serious.

I can't take it anymore.

I can't take the bickering,

The mood swings

when you go on steroids,

The fighting,

your pimply ass,

And most of all,

your perverted behavior.

Okay, so we'll start doing it

from the front.

Are you going

or am I?

You know,

you're no hot stuff either.

What?

Yeah, you fart in your sleep.

Argh!

[whispering indistinctly]

Good, good.

Okay.

Okay.

(Sandra)

I think because he looks

so much like George Clooney

That he thought his career would

take off a little bit faster,

A little bit more.

I mean, he's even been sent home

a couple times

'cause he looked too much

like Clooney.

"we don't want

a Clooney look-alike

In our movie or our show,"

or whatever they were doing.

Yeah, actually,

I've done one independent film.

It was actually my--

I guess you can say

my film debut--

Was in a--it was kind of

a gang rapper movie.

It was an independent,

but it was called

Who's making tha rules?

Now, what the f***

do we have here?

Who the f*** is this?

You remember the first rule

was that you keep me informed

At all times.

Who the f***

you supposed to be?

Somebody--the president

or some motherf***er?

I'm the boss.

I run everything.

Man, you don't run

a motherfucking thing.

Piss on this.

Go ahead.

(man)

hey, cuz.

I think he has some talent

as an actor.

I think he'd be a lot better

if he did do the acting classes.

You know, they say

that it's, you know,

Acting is in the blood,

you know.

And in a way,

I kind of believe it.

My mom did influence me.

When I was 17,

she was, you know,

Trying to get me to get

into the industry a little bit.

She had access and stuff,

you know,

So I should have jumped

on it then,

But I didn't.

You know, 'cause to me,

I was a wild kid.

I just wanted to go out

and find a job that was fun.

So I started off

with landscaping.

On her deathbed,

she asked me to give it a try.

You know, and before that,

I was in denial.

I didn't want anything

to do with it,

'cause I saw the headaches

and stuff that she went through,

Coming back, thinking she did

really crappy on an audition,

And it turned out to be

she did really good,

And they wanted her

for the part.

(Pam Dennis)

this is something

that comes from his soul.

It's what's driven him,

Just like my aunt

was an actress,

And it came from her soul,

and that's what she had to do.

What's wrong?

Why all the crying?

Where's your mummy

and daddy?

Gwen--

where do you live?

Gwen.

(Pam Dennis)

in the times

that I talked to him,

A couple times, his stories

have varied really wildly.

He told other people

he was with her at her death.

I know that he

wasn't there.

She was a very private person

in a lot of ways--

Her personal, you know,

emotional stuff, but--

And I don't think

she's his mother.

I mean, when would she

have had a baby?

Well, I'm not

going to leave him.

All right,

all right.

(ryk)

and it's impossible

to believe of Sandy

That at that point,

She wouldn't have said

to you guys,

"and, you know,

I have a son."
