You OK?

My head. I don't know

what's wrong. I can't sleep.

A pain back here? Like...

like something bit you?

Yeah. How do you know? You too?

Mark? Listen,

this may sound weird but...

is anyone else awake?

Is anyone having trouble

sleeping or something?

Mark, are you there?

Wait for me here. I'll go.

Gloria!

We all need to get out of here.

It's a psychic attack.

They're here! I tried

to make it back in time.

It's too late.

Yeah?

- No!

- Come on!

Remember your family.

Remember the first time.

Remember the terrorism.

My head hurts.

I'm turning into one of them.

Stop thinking.

If you stop thinking they won't

be able to get into your mind.

How am I supposed to do that?

I know how.

"Dark Sky:
The Third Wave"!

I know!

All right, all right!

After this exclusive preview...

by the way, thank you for that...

which I should mention is being seen

not only by everyone here but

also everybody on the Internet

who's streaming the ceremony from

the official website. Hi, everybody!

OK, but after this, let's bring an end to

this schlongfest, get down to business.

Everybody give it

up for Jill Goddard!

I love you!

Thank you!

We meant her.

We? What do you mean, we?

You're the only one talking.

I'm here with my friends.

If they were your friends,

they wouldn't let you make

such an ass out of yourself.

OK, so, as I was saying,

after seeing this exclusive preview,

I feel like I have to know

if a certain "character"

gets killed this time around.

The white t-shirt, Jill.

You're asking me if the white t-shirt

I'm wearing in that scene survives.

OK, I'm already a little embarrassed.

Oh, come on, don't.

The "Coming Soon" sign appears

right when my shirt is about to come off.

It's supposed to make you think about it.

OK, I guess we're not gonna have

an answer for that question, folks.

Jill, seriously, it is a huge

pleasure to have you here.

Damn!

I mean, in this one,

she's using her psychic powers...

Well...

Sorry. It started recording before

I had a chance to place the camera.

Maybe I should stop

and start over again.

Or you can just cut this part out.

This is recording, right?

Personal introduction.

Hi, there. I'm Nick Chambers

and I'm the webmaster

at jillgoddardcaught.com.

You know, pictures of Jill,

scans, videos, articles.

Some of my stuff is some

of the first posted of her.

But that was just lucky. I'm not

a reporter. I don't work for an agency.

Presentation of...

I already talked about

my website. Sorry.

What do I expect from...

I'm really happy I won. I know a lot

of bloggers entered the contest.

I've never been to Austin before.

It's really nice.

Actually, I just checked in

the hotel a couple hours ago.

I still can't believe I'm

going to meet Jill Goddard.

I hope my interview with her works out.

I don't want to spoil her dinner.

I promise I won't be as

nervous as I am right now.

Thanks for everything.

I'm surprised, honestly.

Have you shown us too much?

OK, tell him that.

Once you see this scene

in the final film,

you'll see there's a lot more

to it than meets the eye.

Oh, sh*t. It's a wet dream.

I knew it. I knew it...

That's the exact moment when I wake

up from a dream... it is, isn't it?

No, no, no, it's not a dream.

I assure you, it's not a dream.

- I hate dreams in movies.

- Hate dreams in movies?

What is that? Some thing

with European directors?

- Hello? Nick Chambers?

- Yeah?

Are you Nick Chambers?

Are you the contest winner who gets

to have dinner with Jill Goddard?

- That's me.

- I'm sorry to bother you.

My name is Simon Chord.

I work for the official Dark Sky

- website and...

- Yeah.

I'm sorry, but did you just

try to send us a video?

Yeah. Just now.

I'm sorry. I clicked record before I

had a chance to position the camera.

- Oh, that's OK.

- And I mixed two questions into one.

That's OK. By the way,

where are you right now?

I'm here, at the hotel.

But the convention is

happening right now.

- I know. I'm watching it.

- Aren't you at your hotel?

I'm watching it on my laptop.

They're streaming it from the website.

You mean they didn't

invite you to the event?

- Yeah?

- Nobody has contacted you?

The producers of the gala didn't call

you to say the contest was cancelled?

What? No, I thought I was

supposed to wait here.

- Cancelled?

- One second.

I think we have another question.

Yeah! Back there?

OK, so, hi, Jill. Just wanted to say this

latest part of the saga looks great.

Can't wait to see it. So, this is your

third movie with Dave and the first one

you've made together now that

you're officially a couple in real life.

Did it make a big difference

working together this time?

Well, there was a lot

less sneaking around.

- I've got a question for Richie.

- Nick, can you hear me?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Nick.

There's nothing I can do.

What happened? You mean I came

all the way out here for nothing?

I don't know, Nick. Let's just

sit tight. I left them a message.

- Man, this breaks my heart.

- But this doesn't make any sense.

They just sent me an e-mail asking

me to record a greeting for you.

What the hell is she staring at?

What? Who?

She's looking at her bag the whole time.

What, is she afraid her coke will fly out?

What? What are you talking about?

- Sorry, hold on a second.

- Last question of the night.

First of all, congratulations for the

performance. I'm a big fan of the saga.

Jill, I wanted to ask you about these

recent rumors, about a leaked video.

I was not in any homemade

porn video that got stolen.

That's right. I've got it here.

You have to pay.

Come on, Richie. The movie's good.

It's funny. You don't

need to make up a story

about me appearing in a porn movie

to get people talking about it.

Wait, wait, Jill. Are you saying

the producers started the rumor?

- Hey, Nick.

- I made a joke with myself...

But don't worry. Don't worry.

Drag this link into the

Dark Sky website.

What's this?

It's a surveillance

camera in the theater.

I can control it from here.

I can zoom it.

I can move it.

Her cell phone.

- The model is perfect.

- What for?

Can't you take a photo?

We have the best view in the house.

- What are you talking about?

- You know exactly what I'm talking about.

I've seen better cleavage,

but it'll look great on your website.

She's never shown her tits before.

For us, that's the final frontier.

Where are you calling from?

Where are you doing all this?

Hold on. Hold on.

There, all set. Click on there.

Of course you were

trained up in Europe

but you've been mainly making

movies for Americans lately.

What is the difference between American

audiences and European audiences?

What is this?

Chord, are you there?

Shut up! Turn off the volume of

the window or she'll hear us!

Sorry. I forgot this program

boots with the mike open.

- So, this is... this is...

- It's her phone.

You can look at anything you want.

Her messages, her pics,

her schedule, her contacts.
