Tell 'em a hookah

Artists.

Renatus.

The angel's here.

What the hell are you

going on about,

you silly cow?

Renatus.

Jonny.

Jonny Thorpe.

Remember me?

Leon!

Where have you been,

my little pixie friend?

Come in, come in.

What's that smell?

I think it's

some kind of petrol.

I like it.

Just watch this.

It's my latest movie.

I like your shirt.

Thank you.

It's called Bounce.

Together we wander

through the abyss of life.

From light to dark.

And from dark

to light again.

And then...

from light

back to dark again.

And light again.

Dark again.

And then...

light again.

This guy's

a f***ing a**hole.

Of course he is.

He's a film director.

I mean,

look at this sh*t.

So, what brings you here?

Mr. Kidman here

is a Hollywood producer.

He wants to know

if you'd be interested

in making a film

for his company.

Films. Films are dead.

In five years, no one

will watch films anymore.

You know what

they'll watch?

Computers.

Yeah.

This is different, though.

This is about men

landing on the moon.

Okay. Topical.

And what do they

do there?

They just walk around

for a while,

plant a ag,

and they go home.

That's it.

You know what?

I think that might actually

be the best film idea

I've ever heard

in my entire life.

Really?

I mean...

It's so...

simple.

But at the same time

it sums up the entire

human experience.

We land in a strange place,

we wander around,

and then, poof,

we're gone.

Yeah, that's what

we're thinking, you know.

Say something meaningful

about life.

Yeah, like I did

with Bounce.

So, when can you start?

So, maybe I could shoot...

in the autumn.

The autumn?

No, not the f***ing autumn.

We need it in seven days.

Seven da--

I can't make a film

in seven days.

Bounce took me

three years.

Right.

We're f***ing out of here.

Oh, come on, man.

I've seen your work.

You're a pro.

I mean, look at this,

for God's sake.

It's genius.

I know.

I know you

can make it work.

Leon.

Will be the hero.

Brilliant!

Leon's a great actor.

I know.

But it's going

to cost a lot of money.

I am going

to cost a lot of money.

I need a lot of money.

We'll get the money.

Won't we?

You're coming with me.

We'll be back

in one hour.

Bye, Angel.

Jonny!

So, you're going to get

some more money from the CIA?

Why would I want

to do that when you know

who took the case?

What? Whoa, whoa.

No, no, no.

I never said

I knew them.

The Ironmonger's

got your money.

Believe me, they are people

you don't want to mess with.

They're bad news.

You just take me there

and you point them

out to me.

But they'll kill me

if I do that.

And I'll kill you

if you don't.

So, it seems to me like

you're f***ed either way.

Is this it?

Yeah.

Can we think

about what--

By the way, just so you know,

he doesn't like swearing.

Thanks.

I'll try to be careful.

Whoa.

Nice shirt, dude.

Stop, for f***'s sake!

Come on.

Jonny!

Nice surprise.

F*** me, your mom's ugly.

Hello, sweetheart.

Is he deaf and dumb?

I talk, motherf***er.

Put the gun down, mate.

Have a word, Jonny, will you?

Want me to put the gun down?

I'll put the gun down.

Yeah.

F***!

Hello, Jonathan.

Who's your friend?

He's...

That case you stole

from this a**hole

belongs to me.

Well, you may not know this,

not from being around

these parts,

but I'm in the business

of collecting money,

not giving it away.

I thought Jonathan

might have told you that.

I kind Of did.

You know,

before I did Tower Bridge,

I did the Eiffel tower,

Buckingham Palace,

St. Paul's Cathedral.

That was my first.

Takes a tremendous

amount of patience.

An unwavering determination

to get to the end.

No matter what the sacrifice.

I'm sorry,

you were saying?

That was

a very silly thing to do.

Jonny, get the case.

Me?

Don't do this, son.

Jonny, get the case.

Jonathan.

Jonny!

Take the gun, too.

Bad choice, kid.

Sh*t. Sorry.

All right.

Nobody moves,

everybody

will be fine.

Watch out!

Go!

You f***ing b*tch.

There's your money.

Start now.

Let's get to work.

Yeah?

You all right?

How confident are they

they'll make it?

70/30.

70 percent

they'll make it?

No.

Jesus, Kidman, you'd better

come through on this film,

you son of a b*tch.

Or we're going to wind up

with this giant dildo

stuck up our asses.

Where's the f***ing director?

I'm sure he'll

be here in a minute.

We can start all

the technical stuff

without him.

What do we do

about gravity?

About what?

That moon is much too Grey.

What are you talking about?

Thank goodness

the other planets

will add some color.

Other planets?

F*** you talking about,

other planets?

There's only one planet.

Planet Earth.

Here. Look.

Yeah, but you're

not seeing the opportunity

for creative expression.

You don't understand

what I can do with the colors.

It's not that

I don't understand,

it's that

I don't give a f***.

Look, I have been working

for you all night.

You're going to like it.

And I already have

alien costumes I can rent you.

They're from

my adaptation of Hamlet.

It's a great opportunity.

Leon!

Coming!

Leon'!

Yeah.

Coming.

Check me out.

What is all this crap?

Look.

You either do exactly

what's written there

or you can go f*** yourself.

Do you understand?

Go f*** myself?

Go f*** yourself.

Go f*** myself?

Go f*** yourself!

Talk to me like that

one more time, Mr. Hollywood,

and you'll be making your film

with your own fat fingers.

I'm the director

and I decide

what's good or bad.

Either that or I pick up

my equipment and my crew.

How do you like

them apples?

Renatus!

Renatus!

Renatus.

Can I talk to you

for a second, please?

That guy is a Hollywood Nazi.

I don't work with Nazis.

It's going to be

my vision or nothing.

What if we doubled

your money?

Do you think

I'm a whore?

I'm an artist.

Don't insult me.

Triple.

Okay.

Everybody

Give it to me

Nothing. It's all good.

Yeah-heh-heh-heh-heh

All right

Oh yeah, yeah

Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh

What the f***

is that?

Huh?

Give it to me

Why did you believe

every word I say?

This is my studio.

Why did you believe

everything I do?

There's f***ing

two of them.

I said music

is what I've got, babe

And I got to find

somewhere to make it

Is that just me

seeing that?

Music is what

I've got, baby

I want you to come on

and shake it

Shake it, shake it,

shake it, baby

Oh yeah

Yeah,
