I guess.

It's so nice to have

your family with us.

Yeah, they're

enjoying it here.

It should be any day now.

Oh, good.

It was nice to meet you.

She looks tired.

It's been rough on her.

Good morning!

unusual selection of masks.

Susan...

Sue...

Suzy...

Suzanne...

Which do you prefer?

Suzanne, i guess.

Okay.

Okay!

This is just a rehearsal,

You cannot move these wedges.

These wedges allow the

smooth movement of the camera.

Okay, it's really...

So far, it's been

going fairly well.

And please...

Don't eat those.

Those are props.

Only eat them when

the camera is moving.

I think you guys have been...

It's a party,

You look kind of pissed off!

Enjoy yourselves!

Otherwise, this doesn't

really make any sense.

You look like you're being paid.

You are, but don't look like it.

Otherwise, this whole thing

Doesn't make any sense to do.

This is where

i make my entrance.

And this is where i stand...

Excuse me.

The candles will all be lit.

We're all gonna

gather around me

And everybody is gonna be very,

very happy and smile a lot.
