in front of my face.

That's all I have to say.

Breeze,

what do you think of Cole Kim now?

He's a coward. Only a true coward

would Pearl Harbor someone like this.

- Why did he attack you?

- It's the price of fame, baby.

What are the chances

of you getting this part?

Well, was it even a question

from the start?

I mean, seriously, take a look.

I'm the real deal, baby. I mean,

this is a big-time Hollywood studio film.

Do you think the studio was considering

giving it to one of those other cats?

Come on.

Hey, Doc.

Reggie!

When did you become a doctor?

What the hell is going on here?

My name is Raja.

Really?

Cole.

Cole is intense.

- He did some really good work.

- He did, but, uh...

I'm sorry. I gotta go with my gut,

and the gut never lies.

OK. Well, uh, I don't know.

He's kind of...

I don't feel comfortable

around him at all.

- Really?

- No. He's really creepy.

Well, Ronney,

Jack Nicholson's kind of creepy.

I mean, creepy's...

creepy's in.

No.

All right.

OK, got it.

Well, you know what?

We've got Breeze.

I mean,

Breeze is a pretty safe bet.

Makes sense.

OK.

All right, so Breeze.

- Yes.

- OK.

- Cole and Breeze.

- OK.

- Anyone else?

- No.

No. No one else is really gonna cut it,

I don't think.

Well, we need to find one or two more

for the studio, cover our ass.

Yeah, fine. Fine.

I have my pick,

so you can choose the backups.

OK, well, Cassie, uh...

why don't you choose the backups, OK?

OK.

Sure, yeah.

They will tell you you are not unique,

you are not one of a kind.

You are. You are,

and in your poetry, when you speak...

Oh, my God, Breeze!

Oh, my God.

What happened?

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Excuse us.

What in the hell is going on here?

First of all, where in the hell is Cole?

- I've been calling him. He's not picking up.

- F***.

OK, can someone tell me why the f***

the white guy showed up, please?

- He's like a f***ing fungus.

- I asked you for two backups...

Hey, Dad. Hey!

Mr. Kurtainbaum, I would like to

introduce you to the finalists for the film.

- Would you get 'em out of here, please?

- What?

- Please go. Get 'em out.

- Out of the office?

Now. Now.

Go... You too, please.

Please.

I'm gonna ask you once,

please go.

- Go.

- Just a few minutes?

This will just take a few minutes.

I told you once, I told you twice, now go!

Are you guys

f***ing retards or what?

We just spent a week of good money

on this bullshit!

Do you have any idea -

any idea - what's going on here?

You give me some crippled Chink, a white

guy and some guy who's obviously, what?

Two feet taller

than the real Bruce Lee!

God!

You're... you're fired.

- And you're fired!

- Dad! Dad!

- Fired!

- Dad, please!

Ronney

had a vision of a man...

- A vision, my ass. Go! Go!

- But we can't find him. OK, OK.

Please, would you go...

- Go!

- Dad, please? Dad, please!

Son, go!

Oh, you.

Who said you could stay?

Take your f***ing fishing pole

and go fish somewhere else,

but not in my pond!

So how do you plan on

completing the film now?

We're in the business of making money.

It's very simple.

We own some footage of someone

who's very famous, but he's dead.

We need to find someone who looks like

him so he can walk around for an hour

so we can package the picture

and sell it as a whole movie.

Huh?

What's so hard about that?

Are you gonna conduct

another search to find a replacement?

Search?

What search are you talking about?

I can go down to f***ing Chinatown

and find someone who looks just like him.

Five minutes.

But would that be

the right person for the part?

Faster than you could say

egg foo yung.

- Egg foo yung.

- I found him.

And his brother.

Howdy, pardners. It's EZ Breezy, bringing

you the best deals in the Wild, Wild West.

This Gremlin's a peppy critter that'll outrun

any rapscallion that dares to race it.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen.

It's got 63,000 miles and it's listed at $470.

$470?

I think that's hogwash!

I'll give it to you for $440. That's right,

I said $440 and I'm not bluffing,

but you gotta mosey on down here mighty

quick 'cause this here Gremlin's going fast!

# I ain't got no satisfaction

# No satisfac...

it's satisfac...

# No satisfaction

# Hey

# Keep on dancin'

# Hey

Frankly, that audition process

was eye-opening for me.

It made me realize that the only way

to effect change is from a position of power.

No longer will I be at the mercy

of someone else's whims, you know?

- What is it you're doing now?

- Directing and starring in my first film.

But it's not just a movie

I'm creating,

it's a...

it's a watershed event.

Till now, the Asian-American male

has been neutered and castrated

by being systematically excluded

from the sexual landscape of America.

Is that why

you went into pornography?

It's a revolution.

- # Keep on dancin'

- # Hey

- # Keep on dancin'

- # Hey

- # Keep on dancin'

- # Hey

# Keep on, keep on

- # Hey

So, Cole and Saraghina,

what's been happening

with you two?

Well, we were having a few problems

but, well, we worked them out.

Mm-hm,

and we're getting married.

I just can't imagine

my life without her.

# Hey

# I ain't got no satisfaction

# No satisfac...

it's satisfac...

# No satisfaction

# Hey

# I ain't got no satisfaction

# I ain't got no satisfaction

# So I keep on dancin'

# I got no car,

got no clothes, got no dough

# Live at home with my ma

# She tells me, "Get a job

# "Go to school, go to church "

# Get my hand out her purse

# Or at least do some dirt

# Maybe then, I'll have work

# With my family

# I can't be a doctor, lawyer or athlete,

I'm the black sheep

# Girls think I'm nasty,

they don't stop, they just walk past me

# Hey

# I ain't got no satisfaction

# No satisfac...

it's satisfac...

# No satisfaction

# Hey

# I ain't got no satisfaction

# I ain't got no satisfaction

# So I keep on dancin'

# Is it the way I look

or the way I flow?

# And I understand

I ain't your typical Joe

# I'm a dude with the jewels

and expensive clothes

# But I'm down to pay dues

for my crew to close

# You make action happen,

no relaxin'

# Blood, sweat and tears,

you can feel the passion

# 21 songs,

# Why's it getting slept on

like a mattress?

# Stop the snoozing

and stay awake

# The rhyme's cocaine

straight to your brain

# And it's A- OK,

go and have a taste

# Of the dopest cuts

from around the way

# Hey

And... action!

Action! Oooh!

Oh, that looks terrible.

Yeah, that's really bad.

# I ain't got no satisfaction

# I ain't got no satisfaction

Oh, baby, that was so sexy.

Do it again.

Oh, I like it!

- I'm gonna gash your head open!

- Do it!

This is like Crash.

Look at his face, dude!

Last-take shuffle!

Spin kick?

Action!

# No satisfac...

no satisfac...

# No satisfaction
