Dealin' with Idiots Page #3
We were just talking
about that.
How much like
sponges they are.
And I will help write it, act
it, shoot it,
I don't know how to do
any of that stuff...
They just keep absorbing.
But I'll tell you what, I
work at a copy shop,
in case you didn't know.
And I think you did.
Uh, and we can make
copies of he script there.
And then you can hand
them out next week,
and we'll learn our lines
and do it.
What's the title?
What's the script?
Well, no no,
I don't know yet.
Is it from a book?
No, it's gonna be from the
research that I do
when I spend time with...
What's the rating?
Oh, dear God.
Oh, that's wrong.
What's up, guys?
He wants to uh, do, some
research on my method
of uh, coaching. He's
watching,
he's paid attention. I think
he sees what I'm doing...
It's a great idea.
All right guys,
talk to you later.
Right on, man.
Why is it, whenever he
works with Rickey,
he's gotta take off his
shirt?
He's hot.
The man gets hot, he
wants to take his shirt off.
Did you ever hear of
shirts and skins?
Yeah I've heard of shirts
and skins, playing football.
He does it in life.
That's what it is.
Those who can do skins, do
skins.
Those who can't do skins,
they don't do skins.
- What side are you on?
- I'm clearly on the shirts side.
See?
Except when I shower.
Work on the slide!
Because Jimbo says so,
thats why!
Don't answer me back!
Run through the base!
Through the bases!
All right, so what I'm
gonna be doing is that
I got the blessing from...
I got the blessing from
Commissioner Gordon.
It's research for
a comedy movie
even write.
So it might not
even happen.
I'm just sort of getting to
know everybody
and seeing if there's a
movie there
about the parents and the
coaches and such.
So you show up,
do research,
interview everybody, for
something that might not happen?
Yes. That's the first thing
you nailed exactly.
Sounds like a waste of time
to me.
Uh, if we don't win the
championship,
I'm gonna pull the plug,
so...
I'm not shooting a movie!
It's gotta end with us
winning, or I'm not, uh...
- A waste of time.
- ... approve.
I'm not gonna sign off
on it.
Either of you wanna be
interviewed?
- I do!
- You do?
I'm doing you first.
You're #1.
Number one on my
interview list. First.
All right, see you guys
later.
Hey, could I have, uh,
everybody's attention,
just for one second. It's
not a big deal. Umm...
As some of you... hey!
Some of you know, uh...
I am a comedian.
And I have decided that
there might be some...
material here ripe for
comedy. I'm going to...
It's a lot of steps to it.
But I'm gonna do some research,
spend some time with you,
and umm...
get to know you a little bit.
Uh...
for possibly my next movie
project.
Excuse me, Orson Welles?
I have to go on record in
front of all the other parents,
saying that I refuse
to take part in this.
That's okay.
Good.
I'm not saying, "I don't
wanna do it. " I'm just...
I just wanna be clear
because this hap...
I fell for this one ti...
This isn't one of those, you
get in a room...
"You're so pretty, you're so
pretty. Take your top off.
I'm gonna film you" kinda
thing, is it?
That is so far from...
my intentions...
What are some of the
questions you'll be asking us?
You talking to me?
You talking about me?
I'm talking to you, about
your job, about your life...
Why would that possibly,
possibly be of interest?
Well, we'll see after I talk...
When I'm all done,
it could not be interesting.
not being interesting at all
and I won't make a movie.
Well, I'm very excited.
I'd like to go first.
Unfortunately,
I have offered that up
to coach Jimbo.
Why?!
Because he's first,
I talked to him first.
But I'm asking...
I'm the first to ask.
I'll have undue pressure.
I don't know,
I don't know what I'm
gonna be talking...
Pressure from what?!
Because you're gonna be
interviewing.
There'll be a camera in my
face.
I'm not filming you.
I am just hanging out with
you. There's no pressure.
Max, can I recommend an
actress to play me?
Halle Berry.
Halle Berry.
And for Manny, I don't care
who, who,
just as long as it's not one
of the, the f***in' Will,
one of Will Smith's kids.
Are we invited to the
premiere?
This is very exciting.
Yeah. All right, I'm uh... I'm
just...
Just watch them practice.
I'm good. That's all I need.
Work on the slide, baby!
Slide!
Thank you, Coach Ted.
Thank you, everybody.
Uh, I guess whatever
he asks me.
Get it up!
You didn't talk to anyone?
I have not talked to
anyone.
I am talking to you first.
No one has been talked to.
You are #1.
[exhales loudly]
This is it.
All About Printing.
The owners had a real uh...
foresight, you know,
because they didn't wanna
limit it. All About Printing.
So it can be printing,
copies,
Anything that's
about printing.
Anything! It's about,
or even,
marginally associated
with printing...
- We can do.
- Mmm-hmm.
Or we can... potentially do.
We don't have, we don't
necessarily do it now.
But it's uh, the hub. And
this right here,
is my command center.
This is where I
operate everything...
In this whole, everybody
can hear me, see?
It's not so big that
they can't hear me
So I can just shout from
here
and everybody hears me.
[bells chimes]
Everyone can hear that
bell. No, no. No, no.
Oh.
I'm standing here
If you see the bell go off,
or hear the bell go off,
and I'm standing here, you
don't need to come up.
I'll handle the customer.
Oh, when my uncle hired
me he told me...
Katie, put it away.
[laughs]
And I'll tell you what, the
reason that I coach
the kids, is because
I'm in charge here, okay?
Mmm-hmm.
All About Printing.
And, it's... a... madhouse.
- It is a madhouse.
- Mmm-hmm.
You know, and baseball is
pastoral.
And it's quiet and it's calm,
you know?
And the kids are out there,
and they're dropping the ball,
and they're not hitting it
and uh...
So it's not really
about the kids,
it's more about you
and getting your release.
Yeah, it's about getting
the... it's about release
And it all comes from here.
All comes from working
here.
And the customers that
come in and...
Do you know something
here?
Do you know the insurance
bill on this place?
Let me tell you something,
pal. Okay?
That machine right there,
is German precision.
And it can print about...
[yelling] Hey, hey hey! You
can't come back here!
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry
to yell.
Stay behind that line,
would ya?
- W-what, what line? -
Imaginary line, right here.
From that counter to that
counter.
Across. All right.
Stay behind it.
I'm right... I'm good.
- Insurance.
- Mmm-hmm.
- Safety.
- Mmm-hmm.
So I love get... hitting the
field after a week of this,
Because of the runaround
at this place.
and the pressure.
The pres... Listen...
to the traffic out there.
You can hear every car
and bus.
