but after I work here,

I think it's more repressed

than I imagined.

(man) Excuse me, but

we're ready for you.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Burt sends me video.

Very good.

I like.

So you need money?

Oh, uh, yeah.

Money would be great.

How much you need

and what you need this for?

[soft rock music]

(man)

I I want to be out I

Here's what you're up against.

In 1980,

religious organizations

mobilized and put Reagan

in the White House.

Basically, from that moment,

the Republicans made an alliance

with the Christian right,

and when puritans

start manipulating politicians

and hijacking government,

that's when censorship laws

get weird.

Here's how it works:

Let's say there is a television

show like Skins,

where you have teenagers

having sex,

ingesting drugs,

etcetera, etcetera.

I like that show.

Here's why it's no longer

on in the U.S.:

Groups like the PTO

rally their religious base,

send e-mails and phone calls

to DC, to the FCC,

to the press, to the networks,

and, in Skins' case, MTV.

The sponsors freak out.

They pull their ads.

MTV freaks out.

No more money?

Puritanical ideology,

meet commerce.

Shows off the air.

But Jim, how do we

go up against

these huge Goliath

institutions?

I mean, I just

feel that we're

slightly outgunned here.

Okay; first thing

you have to understand is

this is not about fighting.

I'm pretty sure she

meant metaphorically.

Metaphorically,

literally,

you got to forget

about this idea of fighting.

Whatever you fight

grows stronger.

That's very Zen of you,

but I'm asking

how do we change the

censorship laws in America?

This is not about politics.

This is about the hearts

and minds of the people.

You want to

shake things up,

take a page out of the Christian

right's book.

Use the same tactics they employ

on your cause.

We're a product of this

puritanical culture,

but let me ask you this:

who do you think runs the world?

(Cali)

The 1%.

No.

The Illuminati.

No. You do.

The people.

When the masses align,

Rome falls, Egypt falls,

it all falls down.

In theory, but-

No, not in theory.

In real time.

What do you think all those

little religious groups

across the great unwashed

are made of?

A bunch of people.

What you need is a

state-of-the-art campaign

that will be the

butterfly wing

that will trigger

the tsunami

of signatures

to petitions.

You drive to Washington

via social media.

When you reach

your critical mass,

I'll take care

of the press.

CNN, Fox, BBC.

I'll make a few

phone calls,

and suddenly, the great

media monster's eyes

will turn toward you...

for 15 minutes.

Maybe 15 seconds.

In that moment...

What are you gonna say?

We researched the name

"Topless Warriors,"

and it's already been taken

by some group in Russia.

What?

Are you f***ing my tits?

Orson!

Hey. What's up?

Talk to me.

Who are these girls?

Uh, these are Femen.

According to this site,

they have over 300 members.

And they protested issues

ranging from

the plight

of the Ukrainian prostitute

to the election

of President Putin.

Wow. These humans are hardcore.

How did they get

so much press?

They're smart.

They target high-profile,

international events

like Davos and elections.

They hit the Vatican.

Wow.

- We need to do that.

- What?

Storm high-profile

landmarks

with thousands

of topless women.

What's equivalent

to the Vatican in America?

St. Patrick's Cathedral?

Probably the

White House, right?

Yes!

We need to invade DC.

Uh, With, can I talk to you

just for a second?

Yeah.

Uh, we're gonna

go get some food.

Would you guys

want anything?

Yeah.

Could you grab some Dunkaroos?

Du n karoos'?

What's that'?

It's the cookie

with the kangaroo.

They're shaped

in a kangaroo,

and you drop

them into the-

The kangaroojumps

into the cream.

It's like the little, um...

[all speaking at once]

I know what they are.

Come on.

0K3)'-

(Orson) Get whatever

varieties they have.

Chocolate and vanilla.

And some-some

string cheese.

We should try

to get in touch

with that porn star

that's in parliament too.

(With)

Whatfi up'?

- Nothing.

- Come on.

Well, we have

a problem.

Yeah.

- Roz, tell her.

- What is it?

[sighs]

L-I ran the numbers

and the invoices

and the receipts,

and as of now,

we're down to $397.21.

And, girls, if we're seriously

planning on producing a campaign

with thousands of women in DC,

we're gonna need real money,

or this whole thing

is going to fall apart.

(Liv) Okay; the universe is

not going to fall apart,

chicken little.

The universe has a plan.

In quantum physics,

they have proven

that space and time

are illusions.

So if time doesn't

really exist,

then the impact that we

are going to make-

we've

already made-

and everything that we

are going to do,

we've already done.

Liv, I don't need the

Carl Sagan explanation.

All I need to know

is do we have money?

Because, like, the wall-

We're at it.

'LNL

[laughs]

I have to start

looking for a job.

Seriously; I'm not

even kidding anymore.

We're in the middle

of a revolution.

You can't get a job.

I have to pay rent

in four days,

and my phone's about

to get cut off.

With, you cannot afford

the luxury of a negative

thought right now.

We-we're out of money,

and we need a plan.

Well, Cali had

an idea, but, well...

But what?

All right, well,

you know those websites

where you can

upload a video

to get people to care

about your cause,

and they can donate to you?

- Yeah, like Kickstarter.

- Yeah, exactly.

Well, we could

make a viral video

right now if we wanted to.

We've got iPhones.

And shoot what?

All right.

Heads, I run topless

through Times Square

and you film.

Tails, you run topless

through Times Square

and I film you.

No. No. No.

I mean, in front

of you is one thing,.

But in front of

complete strangers?

I mean, that's in my

top ten worst fears ever,

right next to

being buried alive.

No.

No what?

No.

You know, you can't

be halfway pregnant.

You can't be

half-committed, either.

What's it gonna be?

Yes or no?

All right.

Flip the

f***ing coin!

[laughs]

(man) I Free the nipple

if you dare to I

I Life is all too short I

I You got to run

the gauntlet, baby I

I You know that you should I

I Free the nipple I

I Everyone who leaves

an open door I

I They are free

to lead you into I

I A better universe I

IOhI

I Oh, oh, oh I

I Let me go home I

[laughing]

[both laughing]

This is the best bet ever.

Now I don't give a f***.

You don't give a f***?

You don't give a-

now I don? give a f***.

Wheteva.

(man)

I Let me go home I

I Yeah I

I Don't let me be the last I

ITo let it goI

I Let me go home I

He)', hey, hey, hey!

- Ah!

Hey, hey' hey'

[grunts]

Run, run, run!]

Go!

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Come on.

Hey, hey.

Hey.

I don't know what she's doing.

She's not answering her phone.
