Reach Me Page #3

and I'm meant to say,

"Hannibal? Where are you going?"

But is it okay if I change

it to "thanks for nothing"?

I just... I know it's just a bit part,

but can I give it a bit of pizzazz?

"Thanks for nothing"?

- Yes, I like it. It's funny.

- Okay, give it pizzazz.

- All right.

- Okay.

Okay, hold on. Hold on.

Okay, okay, okay!

Hold on, governor! I'm working here?

All right? Bloody hell.

And okay.

Ready under the covers.

Go under the covers.

Kersey, let's go. Under the covers.

- Speed.

- Rolling.

And action.

Yeah? I'll be right there.

Adios.

And cut. Great.

Until you're off this planet,

you have another chance.

Until you stop trying,

you have a new opportunity.

If you'll try, it's an

opportunity to succeed.

God, that's so trite.

There's no stopping somebody

who will stop at nothing.

That's great, guys. You really

brought his words to life.

- And who are you, miss?

- I coordinate these events.

- What's your name?

- It's Kate.

It's nice to meet you.

Oh, that's nice.

Stare at her lip, you schmuck.

Do you think he'll ever

come out of seclusion?

He's not in seclusion. He just wants

the book to speak for itself.

Yeah, but if he would do shows,

he'd make bank.

Maybe he doesn't care about money.

Money isn't everything.

Yeah, wait till you're 21.

Hello?

- Hello, is this Roger King?

- Speaking.

- You were inquiring about Teddy Raymond?

- Yes, yes. Yes, I did.

We actually have a guest on

Good Day In The Valley today.

Why don't you come

down to the studio?

This little park in Myrtle Beach,

and this kid is insulting his girlfriend,

saying that she's never gonna make it

because she had a harelip and stutter.

This stranger just butted in,

telling the kid he was full of sh*t.

The stranger went into a rant.

"She's perfect," he said.

"It doesn't matter what

anyone said about her."

The stranger looked

like a street person,

but he was going wild,

and a crowd started to form.

When he was done, I took off

my hat and passed it around.

I gave the stranger the money, minus

10% of course. As I introduced myself,

the harelipped girl came up to thank him,

and he offered to cure her stutter.

- And?

- He cured her overnight.

Kate!

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Kate, say hi to Roger King,

a reporter for the...

Daily Contact.

- Daily Contact.

- With Gerald Cavallo?

Yeah. How are you?

See? No stutter.

- How'd he do it?

- He dragged her to the ocean...

Don't bother. He thinks

all this is bullshit.

Well, if Teddy Raymond has spoken

publicly before, why not now?

See, back then, it wasn't planned.

Look, he's not a public speaker.

In fact, he hates

motivational speakers.

He thinks they're all trying to get

rich and make themselves famous.

Yeah, well, sounds like an intelligent man.

I want to interview him.

- No interviews.

- Why? Is he hiding something?

He wants to remain anonymous.

He's not hiding anything.

Write about the movement,

Roger, not the man.

Okay, people,

magic happens in a few seconds.

Four, three, two...

Welcome back. I'm Anne Greenwald.

Well, you guys seemed to love

yesterday's show so much

that we've brought on, today,

Jack Kinsey. Now, he's a successful

- Hollywood stuntman...

- Hollywood?

Whose own motivational story inspired me

to pick up and read the book Reach Me.

And it is quite a story, Jack.

And you're here today to talk about?

I have Tourette syndrome.

It's, you know,

it's a very complicated biogenetic disorder.

Not only does it affect you physically,

it affects your thought

patterns, how you think.

Sometimes you can't filter the

thoughts before you speak.

Well, the good thing is no one has

to wonder what's on your mind, Jack.

I love your dress. I'm gonna talk

about success. The only place sex...

The only place success comes

before work is in the dictionary,

so if you want something,

stop wishing and hoping and praying.

Stop going, "I'll never make it big

'cause I'm too young or too old

or too fat or too thin."

"I got a bad back or a big nose.

I'm black, I'm brown,

I'm red, I'm green."

Tourette's is like a demon

inside you, but I overcome it.

Sorry. No buts. I overcame it.

You go home, and you

take the word "can't".

You take the word "but". No buts!

You take the word "never,"

you take the word "impossible,"

and you dig a hole, and you bury them!

Or I promise you, you will go to your

grave with your sweetest song unsung.

Don't wait! Green light!

Hello? Yeah, yeah, hold on. Hold on.

Excuse me. It was nice meeting you.

You just let it, your life, happen...

I love your eyes... as if

you have no control of it.

- I got to take this call.

- Is that Teddy?

- Because there's...

- No stopping somebody...

- Once again, you should've been here.

- I said no public appearances.

Sorry about that. My bad.

Good interview.

Girl, you got some nice titties.

Come on, yeah.

Hey, hey, you know what's up, man.

Gonna pull a train on

these girls, that's right.

- Let me go!

- Hey, hey...

- Hey, get her purse.

- No, no!

- No!

- Get her purse.

Hey, hey.

- Hey, hey, hey. Hey, quit.

- Relax, relax.

Let go of me! Let go!

Hey, get that girl out of here.

You little b*tch.

Come on.

Sucker.

Watch out!

I got to talk to you, father.

Father?

What are you doing here?

It's 4:
00 in the morning.

Hey, father, I know.

I'm sorry, but I-I figured...

- well, can I... can I come in?

- You just kill somebody?

Well, I-I need to make a confession.

I don't want to hear it.

- The purpose of confession...

- Father, come on.

...is to examine your conscience

honestly and thoroughly,

to seek forgiveness out

of the simple fear of hell,

which you don't give a damn about.

- I do. I do.

- No, you don't!

Because you have every intention

of committing that sin

- again and again and again!

- Let me in.

Therefore you're not sorry for your sins,

and you will not be forgiven!

- Get out!

- I'm not getting out.

I'm staying right here.

I'm gonna make my confession.

This is a house of God.

You're a representative of him.

- I'll do it right here.

- Get up.

Forgive me, father,

for I have sinned.

- It's been one day...

- Get up.

I said let's go!

I'm sorry. Here.

Here. There you go.

Right here.

Okay.

Sorry, father.

I'll come back.

When you're feeling better,

I'll come back.

- Aunt Colette!

- Eve!

Oh, you look beautiful. Oh.

There's this man, and, he wrote

this book, this amazing book,

and it's just filled with all these,

positive messages.

And he's trying to remain incognito,

but I just have this feeling,

you know how I get them, that...

that this... this Teddy Raymond,

he needs me, you know?

Hey, how were the costumes?

On the show. What'd you wear?

What...

What is it?

You had a speaking part, right?

- I was...

- What happened?

I was...

he grabbed my...

He what? Oh, my God!

- Jesus Christ.

- Eve?

You okay?

Sorry.

- Are you okay?

- Are you all right?

I'm fine. I don't know about her.

I don't... I don't know about her.
