My buttocks is completely numb.

Oh, mother. A battle stag.

I hate those.

No! Run, Kanaya, run!

No, Kanaya, no! Run away!

And action.

Are you all right, Vanaya?

My brother.

He sacrificed himself, and for nothing.

We are yeastless.

We are yeastless.

Easy, easy.

Your brother loves you, Vanaya.

He'll do anything for you.

But Daysius has surely

destroyed him by now.

He's the chosen one.

He was born with flesh pockets.

Haven't you read the prophecies?

No.

We must stop him, Bronco.

Yes, but first

we must rest our bodies.

Come, let's bed down for the eve.

Okay.

And...

Cut!

Lonnie.

Lonnie.

And there we go, I think. Is that good?

Yes.

Oh, my gosh, Lonnie, I think all

the changes you made to the script

are so much better than the original.

I mean, this will be one

of the few movies out there

that is actually way better than the book.

Without a doubt,

the best line I've ever written is this,

'"Referring to her neck, she squawked,

'"'This isn't a wart,

this is the chancellor of the galaxy

'"'Now let us in"

Next question

Over here

In the second book

of the Cyborg Harpies trilogy,

Tribonius seduces the Borg Queen

by playing her an original piece

of music on his harpy-chord.

Can you explain what that music

was supposed to sound like?

Yes I believe you're referring

to a piece entitled Gorgana's Lullaby,

the notes of which are too numerous

for the human ear to decipher

I can, however,

reveal the lyrics to that tune,

which until now have been unpublished

That'd be awesome.

'"Within my breast-meat, there is a famine

'"No more sweets in the mammary cannon

'"You are Gorgana, my eagle, my queen

'"Your ovaries will destroy me

'"Collect me in your wings

'"I am just a man, and I want to breed

'"Together we will learn to love

'"You gorgeous hag, you freak machine'"

Yes, the young man right over here

I recently sold a story that I wrote

to some independent filmmakers,

and I'm worried they're gonna ruin it.

I know a lot of your books

have been made into TV movies,

so I'm just wondering

how you've been able to let go

and let somebody else completely

change the vision of your work.

Great question

Thank you for firing it at me

I remember early on in my career working

on the first Harpy mini-series

I told the producers I wanted

everything to be absolutely real

No special effects

I didn't believe in them and I still don't

And I had a scientist friend

of mine from MITbuild

a prototype of some mamocans,

which shot actual lasers

I tried them on

during a lunch break in front of the crew,

and one overheated

and began to malfunction,

and actually exploded

and maimed a dolly grip

It was very sad

So how do I avoid situations like that?

I mean, the idea of somebody

bastardizing my work really freaks me out.

I see Have they paid you yet?

Yeah. They gave me a check.

Well, cash that check immediately

Enjoy your money

I mean, isn't that why we do what we do,

dagnammit?

For the money, for the riches of the earth

When the future generations will look back,

do you think they will remember us

for our writing?

No, but for the wealth

we have accumulated

Why do you think I wear this bracelet?

And who knows?

Perhaps these producers may create

something even better

than your original version

Thank you, and thank you for coming.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome. Thank you.

Hello.

Hey. I don't know

if you remember me or anything.

I was actually

in your workshop at Cletus Fest.

Of course. Yes, you look vaguely familiar.

I submitted this story called Yeast Lords

I know it didn't win or anything,

I was just wondering

maybe if you had read it,

I thought maybe you can

give me your feedback.

No, I don't think I read that one.

It must have been one of the other judges.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Mom.

Mom, you need to calm down

and stop watching yourself cry.

My gosh.

I just... You know, I did the inventory

for the LeVonne's gowns this morning,

and it... It appears that

there's one or two things missing.

And that's $100 we don't have this month.

I don't know how

I'm gonna give you a birthday.

Don't worry about that, I'm fine.

You know, in the meantime, I might have

you try to sell some of my Country Balls.

You know, maybe we could have, like, a...

A two-for-one deal.

Mom, I am not selling two in a sack.

Come on, feel how heavy these are.

Two-for-one Country Balls.

Two-for-one Country Balls.

Hi. I just need to cash this.

This check is post-dated for next year.

It is?

Come back in a year from now,

and we'll see if it clears.

Yeah!

The world is closing in

Did you ever think

that we could be so close, like brothers?

The future's in the air

I can feel it everywhere

Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow

dream away

In the wind of change

Walking down the street

Distant memories

Are buried in the past forever

I follow the Moskva

Down to Gorky Park

Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment

On a glory night

Where the children of tomorrow

dream away

In the wind of change

Broadcasting live from Saltair Studios

here in the Great Basin valley,

we bring you The Rod Decker Show,

serving your community for over a decade

Your host, Rod Decker

Good morning

Welcome to The Rod Decker Show.

We have some filmmakers here today

Mr Lonnie Donaho is

the director ofYeast Lords.

Miss Tabatha Jenkins is the producer.

And seated next to me is

Mr. Dusty Crissop. He's the leading man.

Look. It's Dusty.

These guys are prolific.

This is your 84th production, Mr. Donaho?

And what's it about?

Basically, it's a story

about two Ionely souls

that find love during

a time of war and disease.

War and disease

Okay, that sounds

That sounds interesting Yeast Lords.

Your idea? Did you come up with it?

No way. She bought

the story from a boy named Benjy Purvis.

This is so neat.

But to be honest,

his story had some major issues.

Bridgette? Some kind

of troupe of pre-teen amateur circus freaks

have made an adaptation

of Brutus and Balzaak

without my permission.

I'm completely distressed. I can't even

concentrate on my audio book narration.

Dusty Crissop, the leading man,

a movie star.

What was it like working with Mr. Donaho?

Lonnie is the best director

I've ever worked with, by far.

I don't know of another director

who can call "action" one minute,

and the next he puts on

a bald head and he's acting.

Yes, I don't know what we can do.

Can we sue them?

Can we crush them in the press?

It's like working

with an extension of myself

I know, but if there's

one thing I can't stand, it's plagiarism.

We're out of time.

If you want to see Yeast Lords,

premiere is tonight at the Saltair Cinema.

And to my guests, break a leg.

I think that's

what they say in show business.

Thanks for being here. Good luck to you.

- Thanks, Rod.

- Thank you.

Oh, my gosh. Benjamin.
