We'd like you to join the team.

You want me to be

a part of The Company?

I don't know what to say.

This is all happening kind of fast.

Just tell us your demands, please.

What do I do?

They think you're a superstar.

I think they expect you to act like one.

I would like fresh flowers in my room.

Rare tropical flowers...

...that smell good.

And ice in my dressing room...

...which should be a palace

and so should Lori's be a palace.

And I want a dressing room

for my pet bloodhound, too.

And a poodle.

And Lori's poodle.

They can bunk in together.

But there better be fresh flowers

in there! And ice!

- Whatever.

- Just so long as you produce the hits.

I'll do six a week.

Six?

Five.

No, not six. Five.

But one of them will be for free.

I want to do kids or old people

one day a week.

And I want a StairMaster.

I want a JuiceMaster.

I want a ThighMaster

and I want a ButtMaster.

If you can't give it to me,

I'm going back to Des Moines.

Just don't hurt the help.

It's whatever you want.

What I want is this guy. He's fantastic.

I love working with him.

I hope I've passed your audition.

Thank you for asking.

Let's get creative.

I'm thinking for our opening season, Lori...

...as Juliet.

Shakespeare in the Sand!

You've got casting approval, okay?

For your lead.

Joan of Arc for our action people.

I set you afire.

You behead him, right?

Experimental.

"Cats."

Wait a second! With people.

People as cats. Let's workshop.

You're both cats.

You're my big cat.

I've got a giant cat. Get down.

Creative producer. Thank you.

You're the dog.

We've got a dog and a cat,

but they hate each other.

Chase, chase.

Go, go!

Cat, go, kitty, go!

Lori and I are the husband and wife.

We have this cat and this dog.

We love each of them,

but they hate each other.

So you're the bad cat.

The only thing we can do is...

Cut it out! Bad kitty! Bad cat!

Is this working? Are you liking it?
