I think as you get older...

somebody

with the experience of Jeannie...

and all the films

that she's done stunt work for--

she certainly qualifies to be

one of the great stunt coordinators.

If my name was Gary Epper

instead of Jeannie Epper...

I probably would be

second unit directing...

and stunt coordinating jobs all the time.

It's just an issue with women.

Job 75:
6-7 says

"Promotion does not come...

"from the east or the west or the south...

but promotion and lifting up

comes from God".

God wants to promote you.

He wants to lift you up.

Promotion does not happen

quickly in your life.

It's a journey that you take.

I want to be healthy--

physically, emotionally.

You remember when we first

started meeting together?

You were so far back

in confidence and self-worth...

than you are today.

I would really like to be the coordinator

that I think I could be...

but until God opens that door,

or I get the chance...

I just have to ride along.

- OK. Let's pray.

- OK.

Heavenly Father,

I just want to thank you...

that you desire the very best

for Jeannie...

and that you are bringing order

into every area of her life.

I ask that you would surround her now

with your love in Jesus' name.

- Amen.

- Amen.

I came home, became unemployed.

It was crap.

I've never been not busy.

I've never been lacking

in purpose or drive or--

just feeling really ungrounded.

I mean, I would love to work in the States.

But it's--I'm not ready.

I'm not quite there yet.

She's got resilience.

She's got confidence.

It really feels as if

she's finished one chapter...

and she's opening up another...

and I don't think that's going

to be here in New Zealand.

Oh, dear.

Right. OK, we're ready, Zoe.

- Bye, Zo.

- See you.

- I love you.

- Try laughing.

- See you. See you.

- See you. See you.

- See you.

- See you.

- See you.

- See you.

- Bye.

- See you.

See you.

- See you.

- See you.

- See you.

- See you.

- See you.

- See you.

Come on, Jake.

I'm going back to the gym...

getting myself back into the routine.

Will I do the liposuction?

I've read up a lot about it,

and I've watched a lot of it.

It's kind of a scary surgery, actually.

And I don't want to be

skeleton skinny again.

There's no need for it.

But I need to go back to the gym

if I never did another stunt again.

You know, keep me

feeling good about myself...

get more out of the day.

- Hello.

- Is this Terry Leonard?

- This is Terry Leonard.

- Is this the Terry Leonard?

Oh, yeah, stop.

Of "The Fast and the Furious"?

"The Fast and Furious".

How you doing?

A little faster and a little more furious

than I was yesterday.

- Really?

- Yeah. How are you doing?

- I'm doing OK.

- Good.

I just thought

I would call you and say hi...

and maybe hustle you for a job.

Boy, Jeannie, I'll tell you what.

I wish you'd have hustled me

thirty-five years ago.

But you were married.

You know what? Listen, Leonard.

We're not dead yet, you know.

Yeah. That's true.

Remember Tiny Nichols?

If he stuttered real bad,

you'd know you were out of work.

Well, I'm glad you're not stuttering.

B-But maybe I'll get you down there.

OK. T-Thank you, Terry.

- I l-love you.

- I love you, t-too. Bye. Bye.

Is he funny?

Well, it would be nice to go to Miami.

But in the meantime--

Hi, Jeannie. It's Zoe speaking.

I am.

I'm going to come spend the night.

I'm about to jump on a shuttle,

but I need your address.

Good luck.

Thank you very much. Drive safe.

Hello.

- Wow. That was good timing.

- Oh, my God!

I wasn't sure I knocked loud enough.

I knocked, and I thought--

We didn't even hear you.

Oh, my God. I'm going to be

jumping off high stuff tomorrow.

They're going to work you hard

tomorrow.

So cool. And I can start off...

like, a little lower on the high falls

and work my way up, eh?

We can make you--you can fall

five feet if you want to.

This whole team

that's going to be there tomorrow--

I'm so excited about it.

I need to go the toilet!

It's going to be all these stunt guys...

that run shows here in town

are going to be there.

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

Good night, sweetie.

Sleep tight.

Do I need to set an alarm...

or are you going

to come wake me up?

No. I'll get you up. I'll get you up.

Oh, yeah?

What, around 8:
00 or something?

- Yeah.

- Cool.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Oh. Oh.

Oh, I don't want to get up.

I do! I want to get up.

All right, we're up.

I get to jump off stuff.

It's 9:
00?

I guess we better get going, huh?

Uh-huh.

Nail!

Keep your arms down.

Oliver, are you ready?

Three, two, one, action.

- Nice one.

- Nice.

Look at you.

OK, we need camera at the bottom.

- Are you excited?

- Yeah. Can't you tell?

Yeah, I can tell.

So, what do you want to start doing?

Oh, my God, I'll do that.

- Isn't that amazing?

- We could do it together.

You're not allowed!

Next time.

You want to go try

the thirty-five-foot level?

OK.

Have you ever gone

that high before?

I don't know. And the forward roll

one is called what?

- A header.

- A header. Ah, right.

A header. You're going head over.

A header.

If you're used to doing the header,

you can go do a header.

Because you'll watch a spot all the way.

We just turn it.

OK, guys.

I'm sending Zoe up to you.

You want me to count it out for you?

Just straight over.

One...

- Its pretty cool down here.

- two, three...

and action.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Beautiful. How was it?

Ah. Yeah, yeah, feel it.

Yes. Was it fun?

F***, yeah.

Gary, Gary.

You know, it looks like she's not

catching her trick at the top.

She's pushing forward more

and doing it.

That's what I said. Look up, up.

- There it is.

- Yeah!

It's very difficult to be here right now.

I want to so badly

get on that trampoline...

go up in the trapeze, do a high fall.

But I've got to take care of myself first.

- You doing good?

- Yeah. Pretty good.

Great.

What are you doing out here?

Just hanging?

Well, no, I came to meet Zoe.

I'm doing "Kill Bill"...

and I'm looking

for Uma Thurman doubles.

- Oh.

- Martial artists.

- Oh, she would be great.

- Yeah, so that's why I'm here.

And then Jeannie's going to bring her

to the training center...

and we're going to audition her.

- OK. Great.

- For Master Wo-Ping...

and Quentin Tarantino

and the whole deal.

That is great.

- She'd be a good double for Uma.

- Huh?

She'd be a good double

for Uma Thurman.

- Oh, absolutely, perfect.

- She looks just like her. Yeah.

They're the two that jumped--

her and Eurlyne

are the ones that jumped...

through the waterfall

at the Stunt Awards.

They got drunk

and jumped through the waterfall.

No. We have a good shot here.

She's got a good look.

It's a happening thing.

There's a good shot here.

Yeah. Yeah.

We got a good--

I wouldn't spin your wheels...

and I wouldn't spin their wheels.

No. We have a good shot here.

But I want you guys to concentrate

on what you're doing now.
