WELL, PERFECTION'S

A FUNNY THING.

I MEAN, LOOK

HOW PERFECT THIS IS.

THE WAY THE CRYSTAL

CAPTURES THE LIGHT,

REFRACTS I INTO BEAUTIFUL PATTERNS.

SILICON'S AMAZING,

ISN'T IT?

YOU CAN MOLD IT INTO

GLASS OR COMPUTER CHIPS,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT'S NOT ALIVE.

AND THE MORE:

YOU TRY TO FIND:

THAT KIND OF PERFECTION

IN PEOPLE,

THE MORE MEALS...

YOU WILL EAT ALONE.

[SWEEPING ROMANTIC

MUSIC PLAYING]

Roscoe:

IT'S AMAZING.

THE INTERNE DIDN'T DAMAGE

YOUR PATTERN AT ALL.

ROSCOE...

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO FEEL?

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO TOUCH?

I'M NOT REALLY SURE

IT'S SOMETHING

YOU CAN EXPLAIN.

TRY?

OK.

UH, ALL RIGHT.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

NOW...IMAGINE

A DANCE FLOOR.

YOU AND YOUR:

PARTNER ARE DANCING

TO THE BEAT.

HIP-HOP OR ROCK?

OH, IT DOESN'T MATTER,

BECAUSE SUDDENLY

IT CHANGES.

IT SLOWS DOWN:

TO A BALLAD.

OK.

HE TOUCHES:

YOUR HAIR.

IT FEELS LIKE...

LIKE A VIOLIN:

GENTLY PLAYING.

YOU TOUCH HIS CHEEK.

IT FEELS LIKE...

LIKE A FLUTE:

HOLDING A SINGLE

QUAVERING NOTE:

HIGH ABOVE THE REST.

YOU PUT YOUR ARMS

AROUND EACH OTHER

AND BEGIN TO DANCE.

THE EMBRACE FEELS

LIKE A CELLO:

HARMONIZING:

WITH THE VIOLIN.

OK.

NOW OPEN YOUR EYES.

THERE. THERE.

YOU FEEL THAT?

NO.

I CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING.

THAT'S OK.

ME, NEITHER.

NOTHING AT ALL.

GUESS YOU AND I:

NEVER WILL.

YOU'RE SO RESPONSIBLE

I TAKE CONTROL:

AND THEN I:

MAKE MY MIND UP:

THAT I WON'T LET GO NOW

KEEP MY DISTANCE

I GOT STRONG RESISTANCE

I CAN DEFEND MYSELF

AGAINST ALL THE UNKNOWNS

REALLY THOUGH THAT I WOULD MAKE IT

MAN, I THOUGH THAT I WOULD MAKE IT

AND THEN ONE DAY

AND THEN ONE DAY

MY WORLD FELL APART

ALL MY PROMISES:

WERE BROKEN:

AND THEN ONE DAY

AND THEN ONE DAY

YOU INVADED MY HEART...

OK. THERE'S NO NEED

TO BE NERVOUS.

I'M FINE.

I MEAN, JUST BECAUSE

HE'S PRESIDEN OF THE RECORD COMPANY

AND HE'S MEETING, WELL,

RIGHT NOW WITH MY BOSS,

THAT'S NO REASON

TO BE INTIMIDATED.

I'M NOT.

GOOD.

I'VE GOTTA GO

TO THE BATHROOM.

AGAIN?

YEAH.

HEH!

THAT LOOKS LIKE DARYL.

Roscoe:
IT IS. BACK WHEN

HE WAS RAPPER DE FIBB.

HE LOOKS SO MEAN.

EH, IT'S ALL IMAGE.

AH, THAT WAS MY DEBUT ALBUM.

WENT DOUBLE PLATINUM.

BARELY MADE A PENNY,

THOUGH.

HARSHTONE RECORDS

GOT ALL THE MONEY.

THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

MAYBE NOT. BUT EVERY

PERFORMER HAS A CHOICE.

WELDON GILES:

OFFERED ME A CONTRACT.

IT WAS MY CHOICE

TO SIGN IT.

I'M GLAD I DON' HAVE TO WORRY ABOU THINGS LIKE MONEY.

OR MEETINGS.

MR. GILES WOULD PREFER

THAT LORETTA WASN' IN OUR DISCUSSION.

Giles:

YOU AND YOUR SON

HAVE REVOLUTIONIZED

THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.

YOU'VE GIVEN I NEW LIFE.

LORETTA MODERN'S

ON HER WAY TO BEING

A HOUSEHOLD NAME.

SKYGRAPH'S ENTERING

INTO A PARTNERSHIP

WITH HARSHTONE, XANDER.

WITH YOU SPEARHEADING

THE NEW DIVISION.

HEH! I--I DON'T KNOW

WHAT TO SAY.

WE WILL CORNER THE MARKE ON HOLOGRAPHIC PERFORMERS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO

PAY 'EM, YOU DON' HAVE TO FEED 'EM,

AND WHEN:

THEY'RE NOT ON STAGE,

YOU CAN PUT 'EM AWAY.

THAT'S THE KIND OF

PERFORMER I LIKE.

HOW ARE:

THE HOLOGRAMS GONNA

FEEL ABOUT THAT?

UH...

[ALL CHUCKLING]

FUNNY KID.

ROSCOE, I'M GIVING

YOU AND YOUR FATHER

FREE CREATIVE REIN

TO DEVELOP NEW HOLOGRAPHIC

PERSONALITIES.

IN THE MEANTIME,

WE'LL EXPLOI THE ONE WE'VE GOT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

THE ONE YOU'VE GOT?

WE PURCHASED LORETTA

FROM SKYGRAPH.

NO. THEY CAN' JUST BUY HER.

WELL, THEY PURCHASE

COMPUTER PROGRAMS

ALL THE TIME.

YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE

THEY BOUGHT YOU, TOO.

ROSCOE, I KNOW

LORETTA MIGHT SEEM

LIKE AN INDIVIDUAL,

BUT SHE'S NOT.

THEN WHAT IS SHE?

PROPERTY. AND NOW

SHE'S MY PROPERTY,

PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

ROSCOE, LET'S

JUST STEP OUTSIDE

AND TALK CALMLY:

ABOUT THIS.

YEAH, I KNOW. LIKE

BUSINESS PARTNERS.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M NOT YOUR

BUSINESS PARTNER.

I'M YOUR SON.

AHEM. WE HAVE

THE ABILITY:

TO CREATE LORETTAS

OF EVERY ETHNICITY--

ASIAN, AFRICAN-AMERICAN,

HISPANIC.

Giles:

IT'S BRILLIANT...

NO.

WE'LL MOLD LORETTA

INTO WHATEVER:

WE WANT HER TO BE.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT,

XANDER?

XANDER?

Y-YES.

YES, WE CAN DO

ALL OF THAT.

BUT JUST BECAUSE

WE CAN DOESN'T MEAN

THAT WE SHOULD.

I'M SORRY, BUT I'M

WITH MY SON ON THIS.

WHETHER LORETTA:

IS A PERSON:

OR A PROGRAM,

SHE DESERVES:

TO BE TREATED:

WITH DIGNITY.

FINE.

I'LL SET UP A TASK FORCE

ON HOLOGRAM ETHICS.

DARYL, COULD YOU PLEASE

TAKE THE DATA CELL?

NOW.

I'M SORRY, ROSCOE.

IT'S NOT FAIR.

I NEED SECURITY IN HERE.

XANDER, TALK

TO YOUR SON.

COME ON!

YOU KNOW, FOR ONCE

THAT'S EXACTLY WHA I INTEND TO DO.

HOW COULD YOU:

LET HIM DO THIS?

YOU SAID EVERY PERFORMER

HAS A CHOICE.

HOW ABOUT LORETTA?

WHERE'S HER CHOICE?

ALL RIGHT, SIR,

LET'S GO.

I WANT THA UNDER LOCK AND KEY.

WE WON'T LET THEM

GET AWAY WITH IT.

YOU CREATED LORETTA.

WE WON'T LET THEM

DO THIS TO YOU:

OR TO HER.

WHAT IS IT?

NOTHING.

HEY, DAD,

IF I WERE TO TELL YOU

HOW PROUD I WAS:

TO BE YOUR SON,

WOULD YOU GE ALL MUSHY ON ME?

WHO ME? NO.

GOOD, GOOD.

'CAUSE, UH,

I AM PROUD.

DAD!

Xander:
WHOA! I'M OK,

I'M OK! I'M DONE.

[DATA CELL POWERS UP]

WHERE AM I? ROSCOE?

YOU HAVE A DECISION

TO MAKE, LORETTA.

ROSCOE CAN' MAKE IT FOR YOU,

NEITHER CAN I.

ON THE ONE HAND,

YOU CAN STAY HERE.

IF YOU DO, HARSHTONE

WILL OWN YOU.

YOU'LL PERFORM

WHEN THEY TELL YOU.

ALL I WANT TO DO

IS PERFORM.

THEN MAYBE THIS IS

WHERE YOU BELONG.

BUT THEN ON:

THE OTHER HAND.

YOUR HANDHELD.

WITH WIRELESS WEB.

I UPLOADED ONCE.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

Giles:
FIBBS,

ARE YOU IN THERE?

I HOPE YOU'RE TAKING

GOOD CARE OF MY GIRL.

Daryl, voice-over:

"DEAR MR. GILES,

"AFTER CAREFUL

CONSIDERATION,

"I'VE DECIDED

TO FREE MYSELF:

"FROM YOU

AND HARSHTONE RECORDS.

"I BELIEVE OUR FRIEND

LORETTA MODERN:

HAS CHOSEN TO DO THE SAME."

SINCERELY, DARYL J. FIBBS."

HEH! HA HA!

[BRAKES SQUEAL]

YOU AGAIN?

MM-HMM.

WHERE TO THIS TIME?

ANYWHERE BUT HERE.

4,200,708 MATCHES.

HA HA HA!

ROSCOE--OW!

ROSCOE!

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

WHAT HE JUST DID?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

OH, I UNDERSTAND

JUST FINE.

HE'S A LYING,

CHEATING,

SELF-SERVING,

UNDERHANDED ARROGAN BALL OF SLIME!

ARE YOU DONE?

NO, I'M NOT DONE.

OK. NOW I'M DONE.

SO AM I. I RESIGNED

FROM HARSHTONE.

WHAT?

I DIDN'T LIKE THE AIR

OF OPPRESSION.

TIME I STARTED MY OWN

RECORDING COMPANY.

I MADE A MISTAKE.

I'M SORRY.

LORETTA'S GONE, TOO.

SHE ESCAPED INTO THE NET.

YOU LET HER:

INTO THE NET?

HEY, IT WAS EITHER THA OR LET WELDON GILES GE HIS CLUTCHES INTO HER.

WHAT ABOU THE CONCERT?

OH, THERE ISN' GOING TO BE A CONCERT.

THE ZETTABYTES:

ARE HISTORY.

Rachel:
COME ON.

COULD YOU SPARE US

THE GLOOM AND DOOM?

Roscoe:
SAM?

GUYS,

I HAVE AN IDEA.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

PEOPLE SAY YOU GOTTA BE

FAKE TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP

TO GET ON THE TOP

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA HAVE

WHAT IT TAKES:

SO YOU MIGH AS WELL STOP

BUT WE'RE NOT

BECAUSE:

I KNOW YOU KNOW I KNOW

THIS TIME:

THERE'S NO PRETENDING

SO COME ON, COME ON,

COME ON, COME ON, COME ON

GET REAL:

OOH AHH, I REALLY

FEEL THE FEELING

GET REAL:

HOPEFULLY WE'LL NEVER

HIT THE CEILING:
