Clearly never been

Who gives this guy money?

Oh, I don't even

wanna get into that,

going for a probe.

Oh, wow.

I love burrito.

Uh, Tommy, so, um...

the reason we

brought you here...

is uh, because w-we've

been talking, and...

we decided that we want

to move in together.

Oh.

I sorry.

Impossible.

I have no room for

three people my place.

Oh, no, that's-that's not

what I mean. Um...

No, Greg is gonna

move in with me.

Yeah.

What?

Well, y-you know, we've been

going out for a little while now.

It just kinda felt like the

right next step, you know.

-The right time.

-The right time. Exactly.

What about movie?

What about it?

What the...

Living together and the movie have

nothing to do with each other.

Oh.

Tommy, I-I'll see you on Monday.

I'll be there.

I have to go to bathroom.

Wait, Tommy, Tommy...

Dude, just-just

'cause I'm moving out

doesn't mean we're not gonna

see each other anymore.

He's all right, babe.

-It could have been worse, I guess.

-Yeah.

Aaaah!

Aaah!

Aah!

Aah!

Everybody betray me!

Aah!

Oh, my foot.

-Back me up.

-Greg?

I need this look like "Titanic."

-The Titanic?

-Yeah, that one.

Yeah, yeah, trust me, it does.

Okay.

-Okay, we go.

-Tommy, Tommy.

This is not necessary.

No, very necessary.

I need to show my ass

Not closed set, open set.

Life is not closed set.

I want everyone to see.

You especially.

in "The Legend of the Falls."

Juliette, are you okay?

Could we maybe just put on some

music to get in the mood, like...

-Okay.

-And you know,

for your information,

word "director" come from

"dictator." Rest my case.

-What?

-I give them job.

I give them salary.

dollar on this movie, Greg!

Five! Are you kidding me?

Five million dollars?!

And they are not grateful!

Nobody respect my vision!

I know what they say, Greg.
