Let's take a look at

some dresses over here.

Well, make yourself comfortable.

Okay.

Oh, it's so cute.

Honey?

What do you think?

It's gorgeous.

- It'll look great.

- You like it?

I like it.

Well, this fabric is...

You okay?

Yeah.

Babe?

I was thinking maybe we should have doves,

or something.

I'm gonna make a phone call.

- Okay, Warrey.

- He sounds excited.

Nah. No, he is.

So, definitely you can do...

Don't get this.

I don't like it.

Honey, that's a bridal gown.

Okay. Hello?

Yo, Warrey, my big fuzzy bear.

Hi. Where the hell

were you last night?

Ate a bunch of peyote.

Stayed inside and pretty much

contemplated my universe...

through the holes in my socks.

The usge.

His name was Balance.

He was Warren's

childhood friend,

his confidante, his wing man.

He was never there

when you wanted him to be,

but always there

when you needed him to be.

Listen, I need

your camera, okay?

- What do you need my camera for?

- I don't wanna talk about it.

We always talk about stuff and we

never do sh*t. I wanna do this.

Okay. All right.

But if you're...

shooting something,

you should at least let me know what it is.

I can't be associated with,

you know, shooting some kind of, uh,

granny porn, or some sort of...

- Like, a robot android sex film.

- No, no. Jesus, man.

I just wanna make a film.

I wanna make maybe a documentary, maybe.

- A documentary? All right. Cool.

- I think I wanna do this...

- like, a 2012 thing, you know?

- Like...

Something about what's really

going on in the world.

Also, I need a little bit more,

uh, of that weed because...

I'm starting to freak out a little

bit over here. All right, my brother.

Give me a heads-up

when you get over here, okay?

Honey?

Yes, dear?

What do you think of bougainvillea?

I'm stoked for this interview.

I don't really know him that well.

They made a good team,

after all.

Ever since they were kids, Balance

looked to Warren to supply the missions,

and Warren looked to Balance

to keep them on task.

You do the psychological,

intellectual-type thing,

and I will just capture the man's essence,

you know what I mean?

Not his essence exactly.

His aura. His persona.

As long as you just don't talk.

Can you do me a favor?

Come here.

Trying to set a mood here.

Oh, man.

And they're gonna be... And they're

gonna be here in, like, any second.

Okay.

And I... I don't want you to be here,

although...

Hi. How you doing?

Somehow, Warren had

scored his first major interview.

- Who are you doing this for, man?

- I... I've never had,

you know,

a real focus, you know?

A real, um, in my life,

and, uh...

Daniel Pinchbeck

was a best-selling author...

and one of

the leading authorities...

on Mayan and Hopi prophecies

for 2012.

I couldn't stop thinking

about it once I...

once I hit that guy.

Well, what do you know

about 2012?

Well, I know... I know

the vagueness of it.

You know, just a layman's, uh,

you know, perspective from it.

I'm not, like,

a fundamentalist about the date.

I think that we're... You know,

it's obvious that we're in,

like, a major

transformational period...

for humanity on the earth,

but it's clear that if we

don't change our behavior...

on a species level, really,

uh, you know, we're gonna hit,

like, a major disruption.

My whole thing is that we...

have a really short

period of time...

to, um, become conscious

of the situation that we're in.

You guys are professionals here.

Look at this. I can't believe this.

...our social systems.

This is, like, we're the real thing.

This is great.

You line 'em up.

Who's the next one?

Line 'em up. I'm ready to go.

I want as many people as we

can talk to as possible.

And we're really gonna...

We're gonna make a full movie.

I mean, I feel it.

I don't care what she says.

She wants something

to say at the wedding?

"What is Warren doing?

Uh, is Warren

sitting on his ass?"

"No. He's making a documentary that's

gonna save the f***in' world."

You dig it.

Do you have a lighter?

We're gonna make magic

here, brother.

Is that your guy? Bates.

You should interview him.

You want me to interview...

You want me to interview

your weed dealer?

Yeah, dude.

He's totally dialed in, man.

He knows about conspiracy

theory and sh*t like that.

All types of sh*t.

Bates, you wanna be in a movie?

It's not porn.

Shh!

How you doing? Bates.

Sure, he was a drug dealer,

but that was just his cover.

- What's your name?

- He was part philosopher,

part businessman, part outlaw.

I'm trying to get prepared

for the end of the world.

- You know? Uh...

- Aren't we all?

- What do you mean?

- I'm... I'm with you, man.

I've been f***in'

stockpiling sh*t for the past two years.

Well, I've been planning on stockpiling

sh*t for the past two years.

Like what? The single greatest

threat that humankind faces...

It's not global warming.

It's not aliens.

It's not even natural disaster,

in my opinion.

C.W.P.

What is that, man?

Consolidation

of wealth and power.

Are you familiar...

with the military concept

of full-spectrum dominance?

What? That sounds...

I don't know. I'm not...

On land, sea, air, space,

in the mind, weather.

Yeah.

- Weather?

- Weather.

- You're buggin' me out, man.

- The High Altitude Auroral Radio Project.

A rich oilman in Houston, Texas.

Who does he have

more in common with?

The average Texan,

or a wealthy Arab guy

in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia?

Made his money off oil, okay?

It's not Christian

against Muslim.

It's not left against right.

It's rich against poor.

Behind closed doors, there's no such

thing as Republican or Democrat...

or Christian or Muslim or Jew,

or any of it.

Behind closed doors,

there's rich people and the rest of us.

It's falling apart.

It's all falling apart.

That's the whole point.

This is what I'm saying.

This joint is us.

This joint... This joint is it.

Whether you call it 2012.

Whether you call it

global warming.

When it f***in' happens,

it's all falling apart.

This is a very

exciting time for you both.

Father Angelo and I are thrilled to be able

to co-officiate your wedding ceremony.

- Yeah. Thank you so much for having us.

- You're so welcome.

Well, Karen and Warren,

I know that you voiced some concerns

about interfaith marriage...

and how that might affect your raising

your children and holidays and in-laws...

Warren, what the f***, dude?

Why am I getting a voice mail right now?

Sh*t is on.

It's happening. I'm on the front line

right now down here in Occupy Wall Street.

And there's, like, free sandwiches,

and stuff. It's awesome.

Are we, in the words of Jimmy Cliff,

gonna save our planet Earth.

Or are we,

in the words of Jim Morrison,

who's gonna get our nut before

the whole shithouse comes down?

I do need you to bring me a

battery for the camera...

because I forgot the battery.

I thought, as I said on the phone,

that it would be great...

to start talking about these
