I don't know if you know

what it is like to want to be someone else.

To not want to look like you look.

To hate your own face

and to go completely unnoticed.

I have always wanted to be

someone else.

I have never felt comfortable

the way I am.

All I want is to be better than myself,

to become less ordinary

and to find some purpose in this world.

It is easier to see things in others,

to see things you admire

and then try and become that.

To own a different face.

To dance a different dance

and... sing a different song.

It is out there waiting for us,

inviting us to change.

It is time to become who we're not,

to change our face

and become who we want to be.

I think the world is a better place that way.

Bam, bam.

Bam.

If you like it, you can put money here!

You see?

You look good, my friend.

Good, strong skin. Beautiful.

Thank you. Thank you.

- Michael, you still like Paris?

- Mm, not really. It's too hot.

The heat is not good for the dancing.

It ruins my makeup, but anyway...

Trs chaud, trs chaud, oui.

These plants. Poor plants.

Yeah.

Want a coffee? Expresso?

You know I don't drink coffee.

C'est vrai.

But you look sad, no?

No, no, I'm OK, I'm OK.

I think you need more friends, more people.

Well, I don't speak French

and I know no one here.

You know me.

You should come here more.

Yeah, but you forgot about me, Renard.

Mmm,jamais, jamais, jamais.

I don't forget.

I tell everybody I've got the best

Michael Jackson, the very best Michael.

And I got you a job.

I've got you a good job.

Nice money, easy.

- Go to the old people's home.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

Dance for them again. They love you.

Give them a nice day,

et cetera, et cetera.

OK, that's good news.

You see, I don't forget you.

- You need money?

- No, no, I'm fine.

You need money.

No, I'm fine, Renard. I'm...

Seriously, Renard, I'm fine, rea...

You need money.

OK.

Thank you.

I'm gonna go. Thank you.

Come and see me. I'll take you out.

We'll go to a place where they have

this good steak, green sauce. You'll like it.

- OK.

- And I'll introduce you to a French woman.

Nice woman, a strip-teaseuse.

- What?

- Mmm, a stripper,

but with a great, beautiful mind.

OK.

Whoo-hoo!

Bam! Bam!

# Ooh, that p*ssy gets damp

# Pump that, pump that,

pump that, pump that,

# Pump that, pump that thing

# Ass-shakin' competition champ

# Ooh, that p*ssy gets damp

# Pump, pump, pump that,

pump that, pump that, pump that ass

# Make it till the bells start ringing...

Hello.

Test, test.

- Bonjour, bonjour, mes amis.

- Bonjour.

Bonjour.

I just wanna tell you that

it's great to be here again with you guys.

With everything going on in this world, it's

good to know there's a place you can come

and get away from it all,

so thank you for having me.

And now I'm gonna need your help.

Are you with me? Yeah?

OK, so, please come on,

everyone, everyone...

Tapez les mains avec moi! Oui?

There you go. Come on.

On y va!

Now I want you to sing with me, OK?

You know something?

If you want, you can live forever.

Don't think 'cause you're old you have

to die. Who says that? That's not true!

We can live forever, yeah! Let's be children

forever! Let's be the age we wanna be!

How old do you wanna be? Eight, nine?

Let's be children forever.

You can live forever, and you too,

and you and you and you...

We can all live forever here!

Hey, folks, we have our beautiful

Marilyn Monroe in here.

Come on, let's welcome Marilyn Monroe!

# Don't die, don't die

# Ooh-hoo! Eh-heh!

Live forever!

Hey.

Hey!

- I'm sorry, am I bothering you?

- No, not at all.

- Please sit down.

- Thank you.

Wow, so you speak very good English.

- I'm an American.

- Oh, I see.

- I saw you at the house.

- I saw you too.

You were great.

You're an incredible dancer.

Thank you. You, too.

- I mean, you're great, too. Incredible.

- Thanks.

- Do you want a coffee?

- Hmm...

- Red wine?

- Oh!

Excusez-moi, deux verres

de vin rouge, s'il vous plat.

Merci.

- Do you live in Paris?

- Yeah, yeah.

Not far from here,

where the immigrants live.

- Here?

- Yeah, in the city.

Wow, you must love it here.

No, not really.

Oh.

How long have you been Michael?

Hmm, I don't know.

I guess I was born this way.

Mmm, oui.

Bonjour.

Do you speak English?

- Do you like Marilyn Monroe?

- Yes.

So cute.

- Au revoir.

- Merci.

Au revoir.

So how long have you been Marilyn?

Since I first got my b*obs.

- Of course.

- Of course!

Merci.

Merci.

- Salut!

- Chin-chin.

I am married.

I have been married for seven years,

and my husband,

he lives as Charlie Chaplin.

He was Buster Keaton

before he became Chaplin.

I met him on a cruise ship while he was

doing his act. We have a daughter as well.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- How old is she?

- She's six, almost seven.

She lives as Shirley Temple.

- She impersonates?

- Yeah! Well, she tries.

- But she's so young.

- I know, but she seems to enjoy it,

and her father, you know,

it's very important for him.

So, what? Charles Chaplin

meets Marilyn Monroe on a cruise ship

and they have a daughter

named Shirley Temple?

Yeah, kind of. I wasn't Marilyn yet

when I met Charlie, but he showed me.

Mmm.

- When are you leaving?

- I leave in two days.

- On Sunday?

- Yeah.

Hm.

Where do you live?

I live in the Highlands.

- Really?

- Yeah, way up.

Why?

Well, it's kind of a long story,

but I guess it's not that long.

But isn't it cold over there, like freezing?

No, no, no, no, no.

It's cold, like, half the year

and the other half it's warm.

- And what do you do there?

- We do lots of things,
