Go there on your own.
I did.
When I was a teenager.
I'd do a lot of things I'm not proud of, But, you know what? I got work.
Ok? Well, let's just go through some exercises, shall we? Ok, let's loosen up the mouth.
[babbling.]
[all babbling.]
Problem with the rest of the class? Don't want to participate? I did this this morning before you guys showed up.
Right.
Well, that means you're dead.
You're dead! On the ground.
Show us dead.
If you can't do it with us here, How are you gonna do it on the street? That's gonna get you killed, mister.
You're not even dead.
Your head's up.
Does anybody believe he's dead? All: No.
You think you're dead? No.
Then what are you? Confused.
Don't even look.
Hi.
What's up? Don't even look.
Oh, my god! [retching.]
I guess there was some kind of hold-up in the bird act And, uh [coughing.]
Must've got up to 110 degrees.
There was a panic in the clown car.
[crying.]

Oh! Oh! Oh, the smell.
[coughing and crying.]
Oh, god almighty.

I always thought There was some sort of trick to this.
Nope.
No, they just all jam in there.
No, they just all jam in there.
Fucking cock! You gotta be kidding me.
[grunts.]
I gotta- I'll be honest.
Now this is just fucking impressive.
I got an idea.
We'll line up the corpses by type.
Hobo clowns, Cirque de soleil-style, Ring master-types, And animal theme.
Where's this one go? Uh- hobo or ring master? 'cause he's kinda- He's got pa- he's got p- with patches.
God damn it.
He's a hobo ring master.
Well, that's one.
[horn honks.]
[grunts.]
Dangle: Well, let's toss him on the pile of corpses.
Officers: Oh! 1! 2! 3! [horn honks.]
It.
Jim: Aw, missed.
Shit.
Get him again.
[horn honks.]
Dep.
James: Pick him up.
Pick him up.
You got him? Yeah, yeah.
Officers: 1! 2! 3! [horn honks.]
oh, fuck.
Dangle: Overshot.
Jones: Overshot.
Get him again.
Clift: Ok, page 33.
The odd couple.
I want you to play Felix And you play Oscar.
Ok? Now, this is the scene Where the pidgeon sisters have left And you're both very sad about it, But there's a mess.
Ok? Williams: Ahem.
Oh- who's gonna clean- Hold it.
Where are we starting? No, let's just start right there on that line.
Action! [whispering.]
I say, who's gonna clean this up? He's not black.
Felix isn't black.
He can be.
It's a choice.
It's not a choice.
She doesn't have a choice.
And there was a black odd couple.
I saw it.
Can you tell the black guy to be quiet while I'm doing my scene? Yeah, there was a black honeymooners, too.
Didn't make no money.
Oh, for crying out loud.
[siren.]
Again with this, huh? Man: Hey! Uh-uh! Sheriff- no, corman.
Hold off.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah, you do.
Well, we got some new challengers here.
No, no, no, no, no.
You don't got challengers.
I already beat everybody in the subdivision.
Oh, yeah! You ready to bring it, brothers? You can't be wrestling back here.
I smell what both of you are cookin' Well, that's good.
We're cookin' up a no-holds-barred, Steel cage royal rumble, brothers.
No, we're cooking up arrest on assault And breaking Who are in no condition To be fighting a 40-year-old man.
I'll let you use all these weapons.
Bring any foreign object.
It's no-holds-barred.
We don't need- everything goes.
[screaming.]
we don't need your permission To use all these weapons.
Do you really want to wrestle? Yeah! Come on, mustache! You want to wrestle somebody Who's not a 120-pound And break his liver? Let's go, mustache! You want to go? Real rules.
We're going real-we're going olympic style.
Whoo! Let's go olympic-style.
Just bring it.
And Go.
[grunting.]
Aah! Aah! [grunting.]
Tag it! Come on now, show off! Tag it! I'll show you how to wrestle, brother.
Aah! Aah! Tag it! Tag it! Show him how we do it.
Ah, shit.
We're going to end up on Youtube again.
I wouldn't have- you know, I would never want to be an actor.
I think being famous like Alf And not being able to go out into public Would be so difficult.
I was cast in the fifth grade In, uh, Oliver! As the pear, And I didn't find out until opening night That there was no pear in Oliver! I should have known better.
Clift: Ok, we may never use this, But it's important that we trust each other.
And how do we do that? With the trust fall.
Junior.
[clunk.]
You're supposed to catch him.
I'm sorry.
I should have mentioned that.
Oh, we should - we should go over all this stuff before.
That's the trust part of it.
That he trusts you to catch him.
Ok, so, trust catches.
Let's call them that.
Hi.
Ha ha.
I'm deputy Jones from the Reno sheriff's department.
Our friends at the Washoe county animal shelter Have lots of furry friends Who are currently available for adoption.
This little fellow right here is named Diablo.
[barking viciously.]
Yeah.
The devil.
He's got a pretty good disposition, But he's probably not good for a family with small children.
Diablo was used- [growling.]
Diablo was used to guard a laboratory Making crystal methamphetamine, So, he's a little jumpy Around law enforcement-types.
And he doesn't seem to like black folks.
[chuckles.]
But he's available And he has lots of love to give To a white, childless family That doesn't make any sudden movements.
[growling.]
Ho! Oh, all right.
[laughs nervously.]
One of the great things, one of the best things That sergeant Clift is teaching us In the acting classes Is, no matter what happens in the scene, Say, "yes.
" That's what you do.
You gotta keep- you keep it going.
And then that way, you can work That into undercover work.
No matter what happens, you say, "yes, I am.
" That's right.
For example, you want to come to my house And see my mini-fridge? No.
Dangle: Hey, man.
What's going on? I'm just selling the meth.
Yeah.
That's cool.
My old lady's hooked on the junk And, uh, I gotta get her some real bad.
Are you a cop? No way, man.
Not me.
I [bleep.]
hate those cops, those pigs, man.
In fact, I've been on the inside.
What joint were you in? Sit down.
Thank you.
Make up something if you don't know something.
I can think of them now.
I can-I can- now you can.
It doesn't matter now because why? Because you're dead.
Hey, man.
What you need? Uh, I need-I need the good stuff.
[sighs.]
this is funny.
You don't look like a guy who would be, uh Doin' this kind of stuff.
Listen, man.
Listen.
You don't-you don't know where I've been.
Yeah, I do.
No, you don't.
