Mr. Orange.

Mr. Pink.

Mr. White.

Get the f*** out

of the way! Move!

Move! Get the f***

out of the way!

Sorry, I'm f***ing scared

right now.

Will you please hold me?

Okay.

Here, I got you.

Are you gonna bark all day,

little doggie?

Or are you gonna bite?

Hey look, you two a**holes,

calm the f*** down!

Hey, back off!

What, we're on a

playground here?

Am I the only professional?

Have to do a f***ing

handstand?

Well, I don't know why

I came here tonight

I got a feeling that

something ain't right

I'm so scared in case

I fall off my chair

And I'm wondering how

I'll get down the stairs

God damn you Joe.

Don't make me do this.

Larry, stop pointing that

f***ing gun at my dad!

It gets boring around here.

I write down the lines of

the entire film.

What each character says.

We always say lines from

some of our favorite films.

And we kind of thought

why don't we do those films?

Be those characters?

Got The Fighter.

Pulp Fiction has a lot of characters.

That all of us can play in.

Reservoir Dogs is a perfect one.

It makes me feel

like I'm living, sort of.

'Cause it's kind of

magical, a bit.

This is the

mighty W.O.O.D.,

the musical voice of Lumberton.

At the sound of the falling tree,

it's 9:
30!

If I didn't have movies,

life would be pretty boring.

And there wouldn't be any

point to go on, you see?

So movies opened up

another world.

But I always thought

I would be a lonely person,

live in solitude.

That was just my view.

So... and it's shown

a lot in movies too...

The shy, lonely kid...

That was my childhood.

The Hare Krishna religion.

The God is Krishna,

and he has ten children

with every wife that he has.

And our father was, like,

enthralled by that.

So he had this idea

of like, you know,

having a big group

like our own community,

our own race here.

It's almost like

a tribe that you have.

And we're gonna have

all of them grow long hair

and I'm gonna give them all names

of the oldest language

on the planet... Sanskrit.

There's Govinda,

there's Narayana,

Krsna, Jagadisa,

Mukunda, Bhagavan,

and our sister, Visnu.

She's sort of special in a way,

like she almost

is in a world of her own.

And he had names for

three more children

that he wanted,

but as it so happens,

my mother caught up with age

and then she couldn't

have children anymore.

I love coffee, yeah.

I like take six or five

cups of coffee a day.

You know, my brother

made his own top 30 list.

I actually had my own ideas

so I made my own list.

All of us agree that

The Godfather I and II

is number one.

- Number two for me is JFK.

- I agree.

- JFK.

- My second favorite movie.

Number three for me

is Gone With the Wind.

I love Gone With the Wind.

And The Lord of the Rings.

Who doesn't like

The Lord of the Rings?

So I put it fourth.

All we have here

is a variety of different...

See we have Citizen Kane

and Casablanca,

which most people consider

to be the greatest movies

ever made.

Most people consider

Citizen Kane number one

all the time.

We have a collection of horror films

like, Manhunter, The Hills Have Eyes,

Blue Velvet.

Is that a good sound?

That is a good sound.

My parents didn't always

encourage us

to communicate with society.

So we were kind of shut off,

always lived in this apartment

in New York,

lower east side, Manhattan,

and we never really

communicated with people.

We were taught by our father

not to talk to strangers,

you know, the whole thing,

but it was farther than that.

It was like,

don't even look at people.

We didn't make any friends.

We were home-schooled.

Also the fear of that

my parents had

because it's New York

anything can happen.

My father kind of...

I felt he overdid it,

like he was almost

too worried, too concerned.

Winter, we'd literally

almost never go out.

Every year was unpredictable.

In the summer,

there was more chance

of us getting out.

Sometimes we'd go out

nine times a year,

sometimes once...

And at one particular year,

we never got out at all.

I always like metaphorically

described our childhood

as like him being the, uh...

landowner and us the people

who work on the land.

But if you want

a more dramatic setting,

we were in a prison.

Yeah.

And at night,

our cells would lock up.

He was the warden.

If you say so.

Tell them.

Sidney, Sidney, come on,

you know me.

Sidney, look at me!

Come on!

Boys and girls of every age

Wouldn't you like

to see something strange?

Come with us

and you will see

This, our town

of Halloween

This is Halloween

this is Halloween

Halloween, Halloween

Halloween, Halloween

In this town we call home

Everyone hail

to the pumpkin song

Halloween, Halloween,

Halloween, Halloween

Halloween, Halloween...

- Yes?

- Mr. Pizza guy.

- Who?

- Mr. Pizza guy.

Mr. Hollow, say hello.

Yes, face man Freddy Krueger!

And now where's my little Sammy?

Oh, hey.

This is the whole script.

It's about...

116 pages.

Uh, when you came

in the building,

was everything okay?

Yeah.

- Nobody bothered you?

- No.

Okay, I'm just checking.

You're actually our first

guests to be invited over.

That's true, actually.

Excuse me, the onions...

I can smell

the rosemary and the thyme.

- Yeah.

- It smells very nice.

I just hope

this is enough sauce.

I need you to taste the sauce,

see what's missing.

If I can

add something else or...

Should I add something else?

Maybe a little more oregano.

It's okay?

- That's perfect.

- It's okay.

- Yeah.

- Okay, good.

- We can get this fire started.

- That's very good.

You know, there's people

who talk about them.

Why don't you go

to public school?

You should go to public school,

and, you know, you're missing

all the socialization,

and I realize that though

I went to school,

and I know a lot of

the socialization

is not positive socialization

in school.

But you can see, I mean,

the neighborhood that we live in

is not that great and so

we've kind of kept our distance

from the people who live...

And it's not anything like,

oh, we... you know,

we think we're great

or they're not all right.

It's not that,

it's just, you know, for me

it's not how I was raised.

I grew up in the Midwest,

and I lived in the middle

of the farm country.

Careful.

Yeah, so, you know,

we try to keep them like, uh...

just a little bit removed

from that.

Mukunda made this, and I made this.

This turned out not that good.

See this?

When they open to put bullets,

it actually can open like that.

- Is that The Beatles?

- Yeah, that's The Beatles.

My father puts loud music.

He loves music.

- I think he drank too much wine.

- Maybe.

Yeah, actually, he hasn't come

out of the room yet, so...

He's like a hippy, you know?

And he doesn't like

socializing too much.

He's very like a little sort of...

How do you say, isolated,

like, around people.

I have Thanksgiving

like an Italian.

I eat and eat and eat

and talk like a gangster.

Happy Thanksgiving and salud.
