get thrown out.

Our lawyers thought

it would-

it would lure the press

into covering it.

Should've called me.

What do you mean?

Well, you know I would've

leaked it to Reuters.

In seconds, you could've

been out to 150 countries

in 6O languages.

I think you are tapping into

the first-and probably most-

important amendment

to the constitution:

Freedom of religion,

freedom of speech,

press, assembly.

Do you know that we are 37th

in the press freedom index?

There are 36 other countries

that have a freer press

than we do.

Who's the worst?

North Korea?

Eritrea.

It's a little

tiny country

in East Africa

near the Red Sea.

Jim.

I know that you're-

that you're crazy busy,

but we need somebody

who knows this world,

somebody that can help us

connect the dots.

We need a consigliere,

a Yoda.

A Yoda?

[laughs]

Big shoes to fill.

I just don't know

how this is gonna sit

in the big, bad world.

Yeah.

How's the paper?

Oh, I'm done working

for dinosaurs.

You quit.

No, I got fired.

Oh.

F*** 'em.

Okay, With,

here's what I can do.

Let me percolate on it.

If something

sifts to the top,

I'll give you a buzz.

Okay?

(woman)

I Ay, oh, ay-oh-eeh-oh, oh I

I Ay, oh, ay-oh-eeh-oh, oh I

I Ay, oh,

ay-oh-eeh-oh, oh I

(With)

He's percolating.

Define percolating.

I mean,

his schedule's nuts,

but he's gonna

make it work.

Oh, my God.

This is huge.

Uh! Yeah.

(VVith) What are you-

what are you coloring'?

(Liv)

I'm color-coding the states

that women can legally

be topless in.

(With)

How many states in America

is the nipple actually legal?

All right, nips.

This is our hit list.

- Whoa!

- What am I looking at?

Well, it's a list of 32

good-and bad-guys

that we're targeting

as of now.

Madonna? Lady Gaga?

Katie Couric?

For a campaign

of this magnitude,

we're gonna need to

form a coalition

of like-minded organizations

and reach out to

high-profile people

who will champion

our cause in the media.

How do you expect us

to just reach out

to these huge,

iconic names?

Easy; we just call

their handlers-

their humans-and say,

"Hey, we are on the front lines

"fighting for your freedom.

"You don't want to give us

"ten minutes

of your client's time?

Then let karma fall

where it may."

That's a really

nice theory,

but back here on Earth,

what makes you think

these people are even

gonna talk to us?

Cali, everyone in the world

is hungry for something real.

Our currency is meaning.

You're joking, right'?

No, I'm not joking.

I mean, even icons-

icons who have everything

in the world-

at the end of the day,

they realize

all they have

is themselves.

They want meaning

in their lives.

It's the only thing

that they can't buy,

but we can give it to them.

[scoffs]

(Liv)

Hey, we have that meeting.

(both)

What meeting?

Uh, that meeting

with the investors.

Oh-oh, with the investor.

Yeah. Okay, great.

So I'll see you guys later.

See (Liv)

you guys.

What do you think?

Maybe I'll take, like-

That girl

is a button-pusher.

It's not her.

It's her programming.

She just needs a new

operating system.

Well, she's a

contradictarian.

She's working

her ass off for free.

Whatev; she cannot

be talking to us like that

in front of the peeps.

- Okay

- Rooftop'?

Rooftop.

Let's go.

[soothing music]

(man)

I Just now I

I You took away my breath I

I I can't feel my lips I

I I burst I

[laughing]

I I burst I

A dream you dream alone

is only a dream.

A dream you dream together

is a reality.

Did you just make that up?

Nah, it's John Lennon.

You realize you quote some

genius at least twice a day.

Sorry. I just love quotes.

I love their timelessness.

I love how they can lift

people's minds, you know?

So we're not firing her.

No.

[laughs]

[laughs]

I When you're near I

I Song returns to me I

Why are you still

wearing a bra?

I don't know.

Someone might see.

Who cares if people see?

That's the point.

Whatever.

Just stay there.

With.

Isn't the point

that people see?

[laughs]

'L

[laughs]

That speaks volumes.

Drop the bra.

Free your mind.

Drop the bra.

- Just like that?

- Just like that.

All right.

All right.

Whoo!

Whoo.

Aww-whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

(Cali) You know I

appreciate your optimism,

but you do realize

that societies and religions

have been oppressing women

for countless millennia.

This is not going

to change overnight.

I hope you

know that.

Yeah, but you know what,

you have to remember

that humans and animals

and even bugs

at a deep DNA level-

they want to be free.

I'm just merely curious

as to why you think

that you-we can

change something

that has never been

able to have been changed

in the history of ever.

Why us? Why now?

What makes us so unique?

We live

in a technological age

of social media,

where one idea

can reach more people

in one week

than Jesus, Buddha,

or Moses could reach

in over thousands

of years.

Let's be careful

comparing ourselves

to Buddha and Jesus, okay?

Besides, that's

all relative.

There are way more

people on this Earth now

than there were

5,000 years ago.

Yeah, but at the rate

you can reach people

overnight is in

the millions.

I mean, look what

happened in Egypt.

That started

with one guy

and one Facebook page.

I'm not sure how accurate

that statement is,

but listen.

In political

movements especially,

the lines between

delusion and reality

can become very blurry.

So how about I will

stay realistic,

and you two

stay optimistic,

and we meet somewhere

in the middle.

Ifucking love

this ice cream.

I think the poster

should look like

a piece of Elle's

street art.

(woman)

Yes.

I think I know someone

who knows her.

Want any text

on the poster?

Tagline?

(both)

Free the Nipple.

Right.

Free the Nipple

it is then.

- [laughs]

- Yeah!

Dude, we seriously need

a bigger place to work.

I mean, one bathroom?

There's no workspaces.

It's like a mini

Big Brother in here.

I know; you're

preaching to the choir.

But what do you

want me to do?

You want to go

work outside?

You want to work

on the roof-what?

All right, you guys.

It's still

under construction,

but we needed

a bigger space, so...

Oh, my God.

What do you guys think?

Things aren't really

together yet,

but we have it for free

for as long as we want.

What?

Too rustic, huh?

When can we move in?

Now.

Really?

Yeah.

[cheering]

We're inside a pool.

[upbeat rock music]

II:

The first film

I make here

was word-for-word,

scene-by-scene remake

ofafilm

I do in Europe.

But after we

lock picture,

MPAA destroy.

They take out

nudity, drug-

you know, anything

that was "too real."

But why-why did you

let them do that?

You get NC 17 is like

pornography, right?

You know,

theaters don't release,

no DVD, no Walmart.

I mean, honestly,

lfeel like

we're in a f***ing Communist

country right now.

You're not, but,

you know, growing up,

you all the time hear

America's home of the free,
