FRANCO: This sucks.
For all of us.
TIM: Yeah, but mostly for us.
FRANCO: No, I know.
It's just we've done everything together.
Grade school, high school, Jon Lovitz School of Acting, where he taught us how to feign surprise.
[ALL GASP.]
[ALL SIGH.]
FRANCO: I just feel a bit left out.
- [PHONE BUZZING.]

VANCE: Dr.
Young? TIM: You're a terrible actor, you know that? FRANCO: Shut up.
- VANCE: Hello? - DR.
YOUNG: Vance, Dr.
Young.
I misread the results.

- VANCE: Really? DR.
YOUNG: Yeah, sorry about that.
Today's been crazy.
Turns out a heart can bypass itself.
Anyway, I'm gonna need a sample.
VANCE: Of blood? DR.

I need a sample for a new beat I'm working on.
It's gonna be fi-yah! VANCE: Guys I beat cancer! FRANCO: What? How? VANCE: Just healthy living, a healthy diet, and of course, not having cancer.
TIM: Wait, so I'm the only one who has cancer now.
Well, this sucks.

YOUNG: Tim, it's benign.
TIM: My cancer? DR.
YOUNG: No, my beat.
Reviews are in.
They're calling it "benign," "tepid," "lifeless," you name it.
Maybe I'll put some horns in there.
Oh, and tell Vance there was a mix-up and he still has cancer too.
FRANCO: Hey, at least we're in this together.
Right, guys? To makin' it happen? ALL: To makin' it happen.
REPORTER: The three friends underwent 12 weeks of chemotherapy, only to discover they never had cancer.
Dr.

- TELLER: Okay.
What is the name of your first pet? - CHRIS: Bobo.

CHRIS: Oh, it was at the church dance back in Edmonton.
TELLER: Correct! And where did you go after? CHRIS: We ran to McDonner Parking, and kissed under an apple tree.
God, I wish that night could have lasted forever.
TELLER: Then why'd you leave? CHRIS: Sorry, what? TELLER: The next security question is, "Then, why'd you leave?" CHRIS: Really? I wanted you to ask me that? TELLER: Yeah, I guess this meant a lot to you in 2008.

So I left.
TELLER: You could have said goodbye.
CHRIS: I tried! I wrote you a letter! TELLER: A letter? I was pregnant! CHRIS: I didn't know you were pregnant! TELLER: That's bullshit, Chris.
You found out I was pregnant, and you knew it was yours, so you ran.
Just like your dad! You're nothing but a coward! CHRIS: I'm not running anymore.
I'm staying.
Goddammit, I'm staying! TELLER: It's too late, Chris.
- CHRIS: Hannah! - TELLER: I'm married.
- I'm with someone else now.
- CHRIS: Hannah! Hannah! I never should have left you.
TELLER: And that's the password.

What would you like your new password to be? CHRIS: Uh "Hannah, I never should have left you 2019.

I've gotta buy some time.
FRANCO: Hey, man! I know you're trying to be generous, but this bill is too much.
Let's split it.

Well, that worked out.
Well, if you guys really want to party, I know a guy.
I know nobody! What the hell am I doing? I don't even know what this means! - WRITER: Cool office.
- PRODUCER: Uh-huh.
WRITER: Who knew so many windows were necessary? PRODUCER: [CHUCKLES.]
We just can't stop talking - about your script around here.
- WRITER: Thank you.
I've been working on "Crown Land" like five years now.
PRODUCER: We just want to capture your authentic Indigenous experience.
WRITER: Great.
I'm excited to direct it.
- I had an idea - PRODUCER: Ooh, geez.
Here's the thing.
In order to show your experience, we need someone with experience.
[SOUND OF LOON CALL.]
WRITER: Was that a loon call? MAN: Reminds me of home.
WRITER: Where is home? The looney bin? PRODUCER: Ah! Ha! MAN: No, I am from Barrie, Ontario.
Sun up, take the 400 north.
Sun down, still on the 400.
- Am I right? - PRODUCER: Yeah.
Our director, I'm sure he needs no introduction.
WRITER: No, he definitely does.
MAN: Oh, I'm Jo.
It's short for Joganosh.
WRITER: That's a slur for "white man.
" PRODUCER: See? Sparks are flying already! JO: Bring it in, Nish! Oh, my Anishnaabe.
Yes.
WRITER: Uh, Joganosh, what qualifies you to direct my film? JO: I would say it is my Indigenous experience.
I'm a big fan of A Tribe Called Red, and I have a connection to the outdoors.
PRODUCER: Mm, nature.
JO: I also directed the film "Inuit on the Roof.
" WRITER: I saw that.
That was - really confusing.
- JO: Thank you.
WRITER: So, what's next? Objib-Wean's World? JO: I don't know this.
Tell me more.
WRITER: What about Robo Sodo Cop? PRODUCER: Okay, uh Jo, what's your vision? JO: Yes.
I want to take your script, and I want to throw away your script, and then we will spend two days in my private sauna, fever-dreaming a whole new story.
PRODUCER: That sounds amazing! WRITER: Can you just give us a minute? JO: Of course.
Time is but a circle.
PRODUCER: What do you think? He's good, right? Amazing.
WRITER: This guy's a fucking joke, okay? So let's just pass on him, and I'll direct the movie.
PRODUCER: I hear what you're saying, but instead, let's give him the job.
Jo, pitch on what you were telling me over the phone.
JO: Oh, a blood memory is when your ancestors come to you, and they tell you stuff that's pretty tight.
PRODUCER: Tight, sick! WRITER: Have you heard of blood memories not from the past but from the future? JO: I know time is a circle, but WRITER: Yes.
But it can also be a question mark.
JO: Whoa WRITER: I've seen you before.
Vividly.
PRODUCER: Now we're working.
WRITER: Ooh We were sitting here, like this, talking about the movie.
- JO: Yes.
- PRODUCER: Destiny.
WRITER: Then you fell Dead.
JO: Thank you, Eddie.
I must leave.
Thank you.
PRODUCER: Jo, you're not gonna die in a meeting! Dah WRITER: Oh, here comes another one.
Long lenses, shoots done by sunset, high-quality, low-budget PRODUCER: Okay, okay, I get it.
Point taken.
You direct.
WRITER: I like that.
PRODUCER: How do you feel about Kiefer Sutherland? - WRITER: Oh, come on! - PRODUCER: Well, he's good! COURTIER: Yeah, it turns out it wasn't a book of spells, but a book on spelling, but at that point we'd already got to playing, so you know, our hands were tied.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION.]
[LORD TYREN POUNDS ON TABLE.]
LORD TYREN: A toast to the brave men who helped me defeat the Dunn Family at the battle of Hoth.

SON: Got it.
See? I did it as a drawing.
KAILA: Just write it down! SON: I'm just more of a visual learner.
- KAILA: I'll write it down.
- SON: Hey KAILA: I'll write it down, and I'm going to pin it to your chest because you are a child [SOUND OF GULPING WINE.]
[KAILA SIGHS.]
SON: Oh, sorry, I should have offered you some.
[THUNDER CRASHES.]
Oh, that's not good wine.

[CAR HONKS.]
VANCE: Where'd you get your licence, you idiot? Did you not give me the driver's nod? - GULED: No nod.
- VANCE: You gave me the nod, and that means I'm the one supposed to drive! GULED: Sorry, champ, but you're in the wrong here.
VANCE: I'm in the wrong? GULED: Whoa, buddy! Easy way to settle this.
Let's ask the witness.
VANCE: What are you talking about? There's no one around.
GULED: I wouldn't be so sure.
Okay, now, let's just rewind that.
VANCE: So you caught all this on camera.
Good.
GULED: Okay, there I am backing up.
- And there's the moment of impact.
- [CRASH.]
VANCE: See? You backed into me.
GULED: But wait, wait, wait.
Look again.
VANCE: How'd your camera get that angle? GULED: Oh, it's a 20/20 model.
Just watch.
VANCE: [IN VIDEO.]
I'm evil, and I do bad things for fun.
I'm gonna run right over you! VANCE: What? I never said any of that! VANCE: [IN VIDEO.]

I'm alive! GULED: Yes, you are! [PEOPLE CLAPPING.]
VANCE: You saved my life! GULED: Hey, I'm just doing what any good driver would do.
VANCE: How do I repay you? GULED: Do the right thing.
Your insurance will probably cover it.
Also, cola's bad for your health.
[PEOPLE CLAPPING.]
VANCE: We're just a collection of memories and moments.
PARAMEDIC: And he's an angel.
GULED: It's pretty accurate.
VANCE: You were right.
It was my fault.
GULED: You came to the right conclusion.
No, wait.
There's always a scene after the credits.
VANCE: I don't get it.
We're just watching us.
GULED: Hang on.
What's that? TIM: Hello? Care for a mint? [ALL SCREAM.]
