You want to come over

with a movie or two

from your massive collection?

Cool, see you in a bit.

I don't get what

you're doing, Lord.

I was supposed to be

a great man,

a leader,

someone who inspired

people, Lord,

but instead I feel

like I'm nothing.

I'm nothing.

I'm ordinary.

I'm miserable.

I'm losing my family.

Please, God,

help me to be the man

you want me to be.

Help me to be...

anybody except who I am.

Tony?

Tony?

Time to get up, Mr. Bastion.

The sluggard craves

and gets nothing,

but the desire of the

diligent is fully satisfied.

No eggs this morning for you.

The doctor says

you need more fiber.

Uh, where am I?

Now, don't you start making

a fuss about this breakfast.

Fresh fruit never hurt anybody.

Who, who are you?

I'm, I'm, I'm sorry, ma'am.

I don't know what happened.

I think I just... I must've

been sleepwalking

and, and wandered into

the wrong house.

Are you all right,

Mr. Bastion?

I, I, I've gotta...

I'll be going now.

I'm, I'm, I'm sorry.

I don't, I don't

know what happened.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Bastion,

you open this door.

You're scaring me.

Wake up, wake up, Rich.

Wake up.

Ai!

Ah!

Hold on, Mr. Bastion.

I'm going to call your doctor.

I knew something like

this would happen.

Oh, okay, this

isn't happening here.

This is just a bad dream, Rich.

He's having another

one of his spells,

and I can't find his

heart pills anywhere.

Mr. Bastion,

you come back here.

You need to take your pills!

Well, looks like he

tied one on again last night.

Tony, Tony!

Oh, oh!

Goodness!

Okay.

It's so good

to see you, buddy.

Good to see you,

too, Mr. Bastion.

What?

Maybe we should

get in the car.

You come

back here, Mr. Bastion!

You need to take

your medicine!

Good idea.

Let's get out of here!

Yeah.

Something really weird

is happening, Tony.

I know.

I don't know what it is,

but traffic's backed

up for miles.

Hey, Carl, take the side roads. Stay off the

highway.

Tony, look at me.

What do you see?

Well, I see a very brilliant

and successful restaurateur.

No, who do you see?

Well, I see you, Mr. Bastion.

You want something to drink?

Thank you.

You're not going

to believe this,

but when I woke up this

morning, it was...

Ah!

What is this, whiskey?

Frank, do you feel all right?

No, I'm not!

I'm tired, and my joints ache.

My stomach is on fire!

I need some air!

I need some... ah!

He's having a heart attack!

Ah, ah, ah!

Tony, what is happening to me?

Frank, do you have

your heart pills?

I am not Frank!

Ah, man, time

to look for another job.

You need to give him a pill!

No, sir.

What if I get some of that

heart attack spit on me.

I'm Rich!

You're going to be

rich and dead,

if you don't take this pill!

Rich, Rich Chaplin!

Tony, help me.

Help me, Tony.

Help me.

Help me, Tony.

Oh, oh,

I'm starving!

Oh, oh.

What?

I need food.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Butter?

Nothing you do,

nothing you do

will ever be good enough.

You have a terrible smile.

Who do you think you are?

Oh, come on!

I don't know

what kind of game you're playing, Chloe,

but you'd better not be

ate for this photo shoot.

This is your last chance

with this client!

You got that, Chloe?

Last chance!

Hello, hello.

You're ugly.

Work harder.

You're worthless?

Wow, this is

getting ridiculous.

Oh.

Hello, this is Tony.

Tony, it's me again.

Yes, ma'am, what

can I do for you?

It's me, Rich Chaplin,

your best friend!

Look, lady, I am in no mood

for this kind of thing today.

Listen to me, carefully.

Your name is

Frabrutzio Morelli.

You've called yourself Tony

since the second grade,

because you didn't like

the name Frabrutzio.

When we were 12, I helped you

break the world's record

for stuffing the most frogs

down a person's pants.

I need your help, Tony.

And if you think it was

weird when I was your boss,

just wait until you see

me as a starving model

in 4-inch heels!

You do realize

that you look like

a beautiful woman?

I'm aware of that.

Is there anything

to eat in here?

I'm starving.

Would it be weird

if I asked you out?

I mean, technically, you're not

you anymore, and we have a...

Dude, get over the way that I

look and help me figure out

what is happening to me.

Of course, you're right.

All right, uh, okay, did you

have a recent encounter

with a genie or a leprechaun?

No.

Aunicorn?

No.

All right,

rules that out.

Are you now or have you ever

been a terminator, replicator,

or any other form

of bio-robotic being?

Ah.

All right, that rules out science fiction.

All right, were you recently

bitten, perhaps, by a...

Okay, you know what?

This is, this is

getting us nowhere.

Whew.

Really?

Well, all right.

What is the last thing you

remember before this happened?

I was, I was at the church

waiting for you to come over.

Yeah, but that's just it.

I did come over last night.

We watched movies 'til

like 2:
00 in the morning.

You're telling me you

don't remember that?

No, I don't remember that!

This is so weird.

All right, so then

what happened?

I don't know.

I was watching TV.

This guy was talking about

the new me,

and I prayed.

You prayed?

Yeah, I prayed.

So what?

That changes

everything, friend.

Divine intervention.

It's a whole other ball game.

'It's A Wonderful Life"?

conic masterpiece.

The answer to your

dilemma rests in here.

You're saying I'm

supposed to watch this movie?

I'm saying you're

supposed to live this movie.

Obviously, your

prayers were answered.

Clearly, you have

something you need to do.

I suggest you go with it.

Go with it?

I'm a man of God!

I don't believe in

magic or fantasy!

God doesn't work this way!

What?

You mean miracles?

Okay, if I'm

supposed to help you,

the first thing you

are going to do is eat.

Yeah.

Oh.

Hello?

So now you answer your phone.

Are you flaking

on me again, Chloe?

You called earlier.

Yes, Chloe, that's what

agents do, and as your agent,

I'm now asking why

aren't you at the shoot?

There is no need

for you to yell like that.

It's disrespectful.

I'm texting you

the directions again.

Okay, go with it.

# You're shy

Come on #

# It's time

to lose yourself #

# So go on, get free #

# Right underneath

your feet now #

# And get on the backbeat #

# Weight of the world

off your shoulders #

# Put on the repeat

and rock it 'til it's over #

# Come get

on the backbeat #

# Get it up

and under your feet now #

# If you've got the backbeat #

# Then let me

hear you say yeah #

# Here we go #

# Lose control #

# Let's leave this world

behind us #

Where is she?

The client

is losing confidence.

Not to worry.

I'm sure she'll walk

in any second now.

Hi, guys.

Sorry I'm late.

Interesting choice.

Tell me you can fix that.

Maybe with a spatula

and a blow torch.

Poor girl needs some

lessons in self-defense.

Who did this to her?

You've really

done it now, Chloe.

Look at you.

I told you this

was your last chance.
