- 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!

I'm going to introduce you

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.

- I'm wearing a pretty shirt.

- You're wearing a pretty shirt.

- Do you like my shirt?

- No, no.

No questions! Observations.

- You seem mad.

- I seem mad.

- You seem mad.

- I seem mad.

- You seem mad.

- You seem mad.

- I like your hair.

- I like my hair.

- I like your hair.

- I like my hair.

up inside your skull

instead of a brain!

I got Swiss cheese inside of

my skull instead of a brain!

I don't know how you get

anything done all day long!

I don't know how I get

You're gonna make me ask another

Get out of my face!

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...

like, create a version of her

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.
