Tilt Page #2

was ultimately a distraction.

All I did was obsessively check

social media all day.

What are you... What are

you working on right now?

Well, since I had such

positive response with Tilt,

I decided I was gonna work

on another documentary.

I thought you were writing

a screenplay for some reason.

No. No, it's a documentary.

Uh, it's mainly about how

the American Dream, it...

Well, how the myth of

the American Dream

is actually antithetical to

the capitalist model.

So I focus on the post-war period

of the 50's and the early 60's.

This wok is amazing.

- [Joseph] Like, this, uh...

- Sorry, go ahead.

- [Joseph] No, it's fine.

- Actually could you put...

This time period that's

held up to be,

um, this Golden Age

of American life,

when in actuality...

[baby wailing]

- I'm just starting to realize now.

- I'm sorry.

[baby continues crying]

- Can I help you?

- No, I got it.

So which, as we're learning

now with things like

- the Occupy movement.

- [Kendra] Andy, where are the diapers?

They're right

by the front door.

It's prosperity for

the few.

The people that are...

[Andy] No, no, no.

Right by the door.

And they term the 1%...

[baby continues crying]

That was fun.

You know, you could have

shown some more enthusiasm

about the sonogram.

You seemed like you couldn't

have been less interested.

[scoffs]

Of course I'm interested.

I had already seen it.

You should have seen me

when I first saw it.

You haven't even started

setting up the crib.

It's still in the box.

[sighs]

Okay...

I'm sorry. I...

I'm feeling a little

stressed out now,

I'm working really long hours

on my documentary.

There's so much footage

to sort through.

Look, I don't wanna

have a competition,

because I hate that, but,

I'm stressed out.

I went into overtime at

the clinic this week again.

I'm behind in studying for

my MCATs.

I haven't even started some

of my med school applications.

Oh, and I'm pregnant.

[kettle whistling]

I'm sorry, but I win.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I'll step it up, okay?

I promise.

I'm... I'm really excited

about the baby.

All right?

Everything's gonna

be great.

[baby cooing]

How's he doing?

He's good.

Falling asleep.

Actually, do you think we could

slow down just a little bit?

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

We're almost home.

[baby crying]

[sneezes] I think I'm allergic

to these flowers.

- [shushing]

- [coughing]

Will you take him?

I'm gonna get the other bag.

- Oh, no, I'll get it.

- No, I'll get it.

Hold the baby.

There you go.

[coughing]

[baby continues wailing]

[shushing]

[crying stops]

[TV playing]

You were in a fight,

that's what you're talking.

But that boy,

that's my friend.

[strains]

Oh, my God!

This thing's a beast.

I can't get leverage. I think I

need to dig wider around it.

I don't want to rip up

more of the lawn.

Just keep churning it up.

'Cause see,

it's getting looser.

Here.

- Ow!

- Oh, my God!

- F***! Ow!

- Oh, sweetie! Are you okay?

- F***ing hell.

- Let me see.

Oh, my God!

Okay. Uh...

You f***ing broke

my fingers.

Okay, we need to

get you to a hospital.

Um, don't move.

Just stay there.

Sh*t!

[door opens]

Okay, um...

Why don't you go

lie down,

and I'll make you

some food.

Are you hungry?

Maybe.

You should eat.

You want another one of these?

How's the pain?

[Joanne] It hurts.

Well...

The good news is you have full license

to hold this over me for, like,

as long as you want.

You can totally make me

your slave for five years.

Ten.

You sure it's okay?

Yeah.

[birds chirping]

I have three meetings this

morning and I'm already late.

Whoa.

Nice look.

Casual Monday?

What is that smell?

It stinks.

It's coming from outside.

Maybe something died

under the house.

Yeah, I think it's that critter that

was scratching around last week.

Oh, yeah. Well, you'll

investigate, won't you, slave?

I can think of nothing

I'd rather do more.

Be careful.

Don't get your

wiener bitten off.

Sound advice.

Thank you.

[flies buzzing]

[solemn music playing]

[Donald on TV]

What's he gotta say?

[man on TV] He specifically said that

he doesn't think you're gonna...

All his supporters

are gonna come...

[Donald] Of course he's gonna say that.

What's he gonna say?

I mean...

I love it when they hit me.

Because so far as you know,

everybody up there

has gone down the tubes.

Okay? From Bush to this...

They've all gone down.

Also a lot of them

were out of the race.

Walter hit me,

he's gone.

You have Perry of Texas, right?

We have Lindsey Graham.

Everyone hit me.

Lindsey Graham was in five,

he's now at zero.

In South Carolina,

I'm at 32, he's at three.

And he's a sitting senator.

There's something wrong.

So I will tell you,

I'm ready to hit

whenever they hit.

I'm a counter-puncher.

Mm.

It's good!

Mm. It's okay.

Oh, so I read

that bit of

voiceover narration

that you emailed me.

What'd you think?

It's good.

I mean, of course it's good.

It's very articulate

and everything.

Okay. But?

No "but". Nothing.

It just...

I thought this was

a documentary about

the military industrial

complex.

'Cause that's what you were researching

and talking about all last year.

Well, the subject is, uh...

It's expanded since then.

You know, it's evolved.

And all of these topics

are linked to this

false idea

of the American Golden Age.

This fictional time period

that idiot Conservatives

are always talking about

taking us back to,

when the fact is

it never even existed.

It's a myth

founded on, on greed, and...

And...

inequality and...

and all types of repression.

So war profiteering is

still part if the documentary,

but it's more about this idea

of the American Golden Age.

In fact, that's what I'm

gonna call it. Golden Age.

Okay. That...

That sounds very interesting.

It does.

I just don't know

how commercial it would be.

You know, you talk

about commercial.

I think something like this

could be a really big deal.

I mean, it's so timely.

It's so topical.

But it's also so, uh,

so subversive

that I think that it could

really cause like...

like a cultural disruption.

I'm sorry, babe.

I am really excited

to see what you

come up with.

[man on video] In the area of

physiological operations, PSYOP,

Colonel Hamilton qualifies

as a veteran

with considerable

field experience.

He must know the people

of Hostland,

for their minds will be

his primary objective.

[turns off tape]

[clears throat]

One of the CIA's

first endeavors

after its inception

in 1947,

was Operation Mockingbird,

which recruited

American journalists

and major news organizations

to disseminate

right wing propaganda.

If there's one America

in which America has...

F***!

F***.

One of the CIA's

first endeavors

after its inception

in 1947,

was Operation Mockingbird,

which recruit...

which recruited...

[groans]

[grave music playing]

[man] You have no idea how good you

look with my cock in your mouth.
