maybe move it to next week.

And that I could maybe get

the day off tomorrow.

Why? You sick?

Oh, no!

Greg, I can't afford

get sick right now.

-I'm lead actor, I'm director.

-I feel great, man, It's not that.

It's not. I feel great.

Then what? Why you need day off?

I actually--I landed a

small role on a TV show.

It's a Malcolm in the Middle.

What, you're movie actor now.

Why you do this... this TV?

Well, i-it's kind of a big show.

You know, it would

be great exposure.

It would be like a really

good stepping stone

for my career, I think.

What you do in this

little Malcolm?

I-I'm playing like-like

a lumberjack

And um, that's like,

that's why the beard,

that's why I need it,

um, which is,

which is why

I can't shave tomorrow.

But if we-if we just

move the schedule

just like-like

a day or two, it would...

it would really

mean a lot to me.

Oh, I'm sorry, Greg.

I can't help you.

Why? What?

Clean-shaven Mark, you know,

he make grand entrance

at beginning of third act.

It's very important.

-It's metaphor.

-I know.

I know, but we can just-

we can do it next week

-it's not a big deal.

-No, I can't, Greg!

It's impossible.

I'm sorry.

Tommy?

I can't give you special

treatment, Greg.

When I can't give special

treatment to everybody.

Everybody here working hard.

One favor. I'm just asking for

a tiny favor as a friend.

Favor, favor, favor.

You always ask favor.

This is one tiny thing, that's it!

I take you to Los Angeles,

give you place to stay.

I write you this part.

I do this whole movie

for you, Greg?

You did it for me?

Come on, man.

-For us? We do it together, right?

-Okay, I know.

Yes, it's our movie.

This doesn't change that.

Don't betray me, Greg.

I'm not betraying you.

What I say?

We do this together?

-Yes.

-We do this together.

Now you betray me.

I'm not--

So, are you gonna let

me do it or not?

Not up to me, Greg.

Up to you.

You have to choose.

You do this TV show,

"Little Malcolm."

Or you do the movie.

Our movie, Greg.

Greg.

-I...

-Unbelievable.

She had to go?

Oh!

Wow.

Hey, guys.

You like it?

Yeah, you look great.

Look like... babyface.

You guys wanna

play some football?

In tuxes? No. You've

gotta be kidding.

Mark, come on, let's do it!

I'm up for it.

Johnny?

Ask Peter.

Peter, come on!

No. I don't think so.

Please?

-No.

-Come on?

Cheep cheep cheep

-Cheep cheep cheep cheep

-Cheep cheep cheep cheep

Cheeep cheep cheep

Cut!

Cheep cheep

You good, Tommy?

Yeah, good day everybody.

See you tomorrow.

All right, great job!

Can't believe it.

Let's go to a bar

and erase the memory of today.

Hey, Sandy, Raphael.

Yeah?

I talk to you a minute?

Road trip!

San Francisco, here we come.

Who are these guys?

Oh, that's Todd.

That's friend of Todd.

And other friend of Todd

Where's Sandy and Raphael?

Ah, it's over for those guys.

Did you fire them?

Who's to say?

Come on, forget about them!

-We have Todd now.

-Tommy.

Look, it's gonna be like the old days.

San Francisco.

We take stroll

down memory lane.

Wait till you see

new script pages, Greg.

You'll love it.

Be very dramatic.

Let's do it.

Okay, Todd?

Yeah, you put

camera there, okay?

Yup, it's here.

Okay, we threw a ball

over here.

Come on, Greg. Come on, Greg.

Remember, Greg?

We play football

first time we met?

Yeah, yeah, I remember.

Okay.

Okay, Todd? You roll it.

Rolling.

Tommy, what are we doing here?

We do new scene.

About Mark failures.

What?

Mark want to make

dreams come true

and Johnny help him.

Yeah, I don't think so, man.

Let's do it. Come on.

Take from your real life.

Drop it. Stop.

Don't do this.

I'm asking you nicely.

Stop it. Drop it.

Remember, you want

to be actor, but...

nobody believe in you, Greg...

you know, you're not

good enough...

Right? Do that, that stuff.

What? No, Tommy, drop it.

Movies are emotion.

Okay, you need

to be real for us.

Look, Greg...

frankly, you have not been

that real the whole movie.

Now you chance.

F*** you, Tommy.

No one believe in you,

and Mom think you're loser.

Go!

I said no!

Greg! Dammit, why you

throw this tricky stuff?

All right, man,

you wanna get real?

You wanna get real for the

cameras, let's get real.

Hey, you guys gettin' this?

Yeah, good.

Let's get real.

Where were you born, Tommy?

No...

Greg, that not part of scene.

No way, this is your idea.

Where are you from?

It's a simple question.

I'm from New Orleans.

New Orleans.

From the bayou.

You guys hear that?

This guy with this f***in'

accent is from "the bayou."

Greg...

Oh, you want an easier question?

Let's see...

where does the money

come from, huh?

Greg, stop! This on camera!

I know it's on camera

just like you wanted.

All right, just

tell me this one thing...

How old are you?

I'm your age, Greg.

You're my age?

You're my age?

I'm just your friend.

When were you born?

What year, Tommy?

Same year as you.

Same year as me?

There is no f***ing way

you're in your 20's, all right?

You are a f***ing villain!

F***ing Frankenstein-looking

motherf***er!

I not villain!

I believed in you, man.

I trusted you!

-Greg!

-What?

Greg...

I gave you everything.

Are you f***ing--?

You ruined everything!

Greg!

You owe me your life!

Man, I don't owe you

sh*t anymore.

All right, and this movie be

f***in' awesome!

Will be awesome.

Cut it. Cut it.

Movie over.

And why am I trying to become

what I don't want to be?

What am I doing in an office,

making a-a contemptuous,

begging fool of myself,

when all I want is out there...

Honey, I am so excited

to come see your play.

See, acting doesn't

have to be big movies.

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

It's probably better

if no one even sees

that thing you did

with Tommy, right?

I mean, come on, that

thing can't be any good.

Greg?

Are you there...?

Greg?

You know what I'm saying?

Hey, good show, guys.

-That was fun tonight, right?

-Good job.

All right, see you tomorrow.

-Hi.

-Hey.

Babyface.

You stalking me now?

Ha ha ha.

You're not that hard to find.

Did you watch the show?

No.

You know I don't like comedy.

So, how Amber?

I don't know.

She moved to Austin.

Didn't work out.

Sorry to hear this.

Yeah.

Is that why you came here, Tommy?

You wanted to talk about Amber?

No...

You didn't RSVP.

Yeah, I'm not coming.

And...

honestly, maybe...

maybe you shouldn't have

a premiere at all.

Greg.

We made pact.

Remember?

To never lose sight

of our dream.

Well, on Friday...

they premiere a movie.

Our movie, Greg.

In real live theater.

I know you don't

like me anymore.

So don't do it for me.

Do it for you, Greg.

You'll finally get to

see yourself on big screen.

This was your dream too, Greg.

What the f*** am I doing?

Can you believe it?

I can't, no.

Here, it's for you.

No, you can-

you can keep that.

Don't worry,

I made boxes of them.

Okay.

You think Sandy be there?

I don't know.

Holy sh*t, is this for us?
