- Next week?
- Could be.
- Thursday I have rehearsal.
We're gonna get
out of rehearsal early.
I could come by early evening?
- Sure.
- Great.
Come on, guys, burgers'll get cold.
The truth is that
the neighborhood is changing
and that's a very
old-fashioned store.
She did complain to me
that business is not so good.
Well, of course she's gonna say that.
The contract's up.
My guy told me that a similar space
like that in this area could get...
- Five thousand.
- That's crazy.
Cheese, mustard and ketchup, please.
Guests first. Tony, what do you want?
I'll have avocados, tomatoes,
onions, cheese and ketchup.
Yeah, that's on the low end.
- What's the number now?
- Eleven hundred.
For eight years? Never an increase?
Maybe we can talk about this
a little later.
Tony, did I hear
your father lives in Africa?
Yeah, in Angola. It's a small
Portuguese colony in Africa.
I wrote a paper on it last year.
I got a B+, which was
actually pretty good because
I only spent, like, an hour on it.
My teachers, they're whack, you know.
They'll give you a good grade
on something and you don't try,
but when you really work hard
and put your best effort into it,
they'll give you a bad grade.
Can you pass the ketchup?
I always like a lot of ketchup.
Thanks.
Jump up! Jump up! Use your voice!
You're a tree in the forest.
And it's snowing!
You're the worst dancer in the world,
and you think you're wonderful! Go!
Yeah!
Give it sounds! Give it sounds!
to a new relaxation exercise.
I'd like all the chairs
facing this way.
And with plenty... No, this way!
Stop yelling, okay? Really...
Keep your throat relaxed!
The genesis of acting is seeing.
Observation.
Understanding
what makes behavior, yes?
So when we do
the repetition exercise,
that person does it to us.
We simply react, yes?
So...
Start the exercise, take your time.
You're wearing a pretty shirt.
- You're wearing a pretty shirt.
- Do you like my shirt?
- No, no.
No questions! Observations.

- I seem mad.

I don't know how you get
anything done all day long!

Oh! Something in my eye...
See, it's right there. Look!
There!
Please, put him in a closet.
Trust fall. Fall.
- First, you have to kill him.
- Fall into me. Fall into me.
- Miles was like, "How are you?"
- Yeah.
Oh my God, yes.
Miles started it.
- Miles...
- No. 'Cause she said hi to him once,
so he said "hi" back,
and she got into the conversation...
Exactly.
And then she re-used my words
against me. And then...
She put words into my mouth.
She was saying...
Oh, my God.
And I wanted to change it, but...
Let's go!
- Right here!
- Go, go, go!
Donny!
- Keep going!
- Back!
- Good save.
- Nice one, Tony!
Hey, Umar, we should try
that thing that the Brazilian does.
So you look like you're gonna
pass it to one player,
but you actually pass it
to the other side.
That actually might be a good
idea, if you came to practice.
What are you talking about?
Dude, you didn't even show up
last Saturday.
Because Tony has a new boyfriend now.
Ask your sister if she thinks
I'm the type
to have a boyfriend. She'll know.
- My cousin Allen goes to 342.
- So what?
- That's his school, isn't it?
- What are you talking about?
Little Jake.
My cousin goes to his school.
- They say he's a weirdo.
- Shut up, Joey!
They say he draws dresses
for the girls during recess.
- Give that back!
- There you are, go ahead.
Eat it!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight!
"...and the stars never rise,
but I feel the bright eyes
of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
And so, all the night-tide,
I lie down by the side
of my darling, my darling
my life and my bride."
What's he saying there?
What's he talking about
when he says that?
I think that his love, kind of
like what they were saying,
he's imagining her
in his mind and his heart
because he loves her that much,
like, he's able to...
in his heart because...
it could even be literal.
I mean, he may actually,
several times a week,
go down and spend the day
lying next to her in her grave.
So what I want you to do
for your assignment is
try to write a poem.
Not try, but do it. Write a poem
about someone you love.
Okay? It'll be fun.
Or at least, make it fun.
