19. It's not one line, it's two lines.

20. I-it's-it's "hi" and..

21. "Here's your pizza."

22. Plus, not only that, it ain't how many lines that you have

23. it's how you deliver your lines.

24. So, if you don't deliver your lines in 30 minutes

25. do we get them free?

88. He's an aspiring actor.

89. Ms. Edwina Dubois, just l-let me say

90. right off the bat that you are so beautiful and everything.

95. Ooh, honey, I like this one.

96. And you would like me even better if I could

97. just take your class, you know, on the weekend

98. but I don't have the coins, the shillings

136. I need a volunteer, please, for the first exercise.

137. That would be me.

138. Now, the first exercise is a breathing technique.

139. Oh, great, I already know that one.

140. I studied. Juilliard.

141. 'Observe.'

142. Heh.

143. Heh.

144. Here's a dime, darlin', call Juilliard

145. and see if you can get your money back.

146. Heh.

147. He-he-he-heh.

148. Jamie. Darling, that laugh thing that you're doing

149. that is from the diaphragm.

150. Class, this is what I am talkin' about.

151. Jamie, darling, come up here.

152. Come up here. Come up here.

153. Now let's try an improv, shall we?

154. - Okay, I'm a tree. I'm a tree— - No, no, no.

155. I want you to do a scene

156. from your favorite movie.

157. Eddie Murphy.

158. "Nutty Professor."

159. Ooh, Hercules, Hercules, Hercules, Hercules.

160. Ooh, Lord.

161. Her-cu-les! Her-cu-les! Ooh! Hercules.

162. Oh, that was very impressive, Jamie.

163. Amateur.

164. Alright.

165. We're going to do another exercise.

166. This one will involve everyone.

167. I would like you all to pair off, please.

168. 'We are going to do a trust exercise.'

169. I ain't turnin' my back on you, I don't trust you.

170. Fine, I'll be the mature one.

171. Continue, Ms. Dubois.

172. Now on the count of three..

173. I want you to fall backwards

174. into your partner's arms.

175. One..

176. two... three.

177. Is that my pager goin' off?

178. Man! Would you look at that?

179. Yes, yes, yes, that's right.

180. Follow your partner.

181. And do exactly what they do.

182. 'Alright.'

183. That's enough for today.

184. No, but-but I-I wasn't finished.

185. I wasn't..

186. Uh, Jamie... I'd like to talk to you.

187. - Yeah. - Wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop.

188. Turn around. Slow-slowly, slowly.

189. 'Oh, Jamie..'

190. You know, you really have something special.

191. I do?

192. Yes, you know..

193. is there something that, uh

194. you would like from this class

195. that you feel you haven't gotten yet?

196. Oh, yes, yes, as a matter of fact I do.

197. I didn't want to, you know, speak my business

198. in front of all the, uh, regular folk

199. but, uh..

200. I need something practical, something that I can use

201. right now, 'cause I got this little audition comin' up.

202. - An audition? - Yeah.

203. W-w-what for?

204. It's just this little small part.

205. Jamie, I would be very happy to work with you on your audition.

206. - One-on-one. - Are you serious?

207. - Yes. - Edwina Dubois?

208. Workin' with Jamie "don't nobody know who I am" King?

209. - Are you serious? - Yes.

210. I'm gonna go get my script and everything.

211. No, no, no. You know, I am so tired.

212. - 'Alright.' - And I need a bath.

213. Why don't you come up to my room in, say..

214. um, an hour?

215. Oh, yeah, cool.

216. And when you're a star

217. I will be able to say

218. "I had him first."

219. 'Come in.'

220. Hey, Ms. Dubois, it's me, it's Jamie.

221. 'I'll be out in a minute.'

222. 'Make yourself comfortable.'

223. Alright, then.

224. But I'm out here, I just wanna let you know.

225. Don't get nervous or nothin'.

226. What's up, you want your pizza, or what?

227. Dude, listen, pizza's real good, because sometimes—

228. Befo-o-re you do anything

229. you need to be relaxed.

230. Right, right, right.

231. I got some little, you know, exercise to get me loose.

232. No, no, no, darlin', you need to try..

233. Come on, let's try the Dubois method of relaxation.

234. Huh? Wha..

235. Okay.

236. - You know, Jamie.. - Yeah.

237. Tension can start almost anywhere in the body.

238. Uh, uh-huh?

239. Oh, It can start in your back.

240. I feel that.

241. Your shoulders.

242. Uh-huh.

243. Your neck.

244. Wow, right on, right on.

245. - Even your head. - Ye-ye-yeah, yeah.

246. Yeah.

247. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

248. - So, Jamie.. - Huh?

249. It's time to get down to business. Are you ready?

250. Yeah, ready like Freddy.

251. Hey, wait-wait a minute now.

252. Uh, I thought this was supposed to be a rehearsal

253. not a pajama jammy-jam.

254. You know, Jamie, Laurence Fishburne

255. was a student of mine.

256. And there's no reason why you shouldn't have

257. a bigger role in that movie.

258. I could make a call for you.

259. Oh, uh, cool.

260. After.

261. After what?

262. I'd rather show you, darling, than tell you.

263. Okay, then show me.

264. Wait a minute, wait a minute, recognize me.

265. Don't try to punk me, you're tryin' to punk me.

266. You're tryin' to punk me. What is this?

267. Another one of your breathing exercises?

268. This is not just about a movie, Jamie.

269. This is about a movie career.

270. Now, Edwina could make you a star, darlin'

271. if you make Edwina happy.

272. You're crazy.

273. Wait, hold on, you Aunt Helen's best friend and everything.

274. I don't wanna be on top that bad.

275. Oh, you don't have to be on top, baby.

276. Oh, wait, wait, wait.

277. Look at that, A-A-Aunt Helen is pagin' me.

278. 911. Thank goodness.

279. Well, we will continue our session a little later.

280. Yeah, I'm gonna have to go, but I'll..

281. be right back.

282. I'm gonna go ahead and see what she wants and everything

283. and, uh, I'm gonna get you a cape

284. for your... little superhero outfit.

285. - Good morning, Jamie. - What's that supposed to mean?

286. It means hello. What's wrong with you?

287. What's wrong with you? You ever think about what's wrong

288. with you. You ever take time out to think

289. "What's wrong with Fancy?" What's wrong with Fancy?

290. Not what's wrong with Jamie, but maybe what's wrong with fancy?

291. - Bro-ham! - I'm just sayin'.

292. I'm just tryin' to take care of her.

293. Chill down!

294. 'Chill down.'

295. Alright.

296. Cool. My bad, I..

297. Wound up a little tight. Alright.

298. So how did it go with the coaching last night?

299. Did she, uh, show you the ropes?

300. The ropes, see, there you go, the ropes.

301. Why you got to say "the ropes?" Huh?

302. Why you got to say "ropes," huh?

303. That's how people get up in tabloids, see?

304. I could sue you, talkin' about some ropes. Back off.

305. Hi, everybody. Oh, Jamie!

306. Edwina has been singing your praises all mornin'.

307. Boy, she says you one of her fastest risin' students.

308. Hm-mm.

309. Well, there's a couple of things that you don't know

310. about Edwina Dubois.

311. Oh, honey, I know everything I need to know about Edwina.

312. She's kind and generous.

313. Not to mention the fact that she lent us some of the money

314. we needed to buy this hotel.

315. Now, Helen, don't mention that too loud.

316. I think we still owe her a couple of dollars.

317. You know what I mean?

318. Yeah, well, I'll tell you somethin' that you probably

319. didn't know about Ms. Edwina.

320. Jamie..

321. Say it with passion, darling.

322. Edwina, Edwina.

323. - Are you ready? - Oh, whenever you are, honey.

324. Edwina is treating us to brunch.

325. Thank goodness, I'm too old to dine and dash.

326. Uh, Jamie, won't you join us?

327. Oh, no, you know, I'm—

328. Oh, and afterwards, remind me

329. to call Laurence Fishburne.

330. - What? - Now, Jamie.

331. After all she's done for you

332. the least you can do is come along. Come on, honey.

333. Come on, baby. Come on. Jamie, what in the world?

334. What is wrong with you?

335. Come over here. Come on, Jamie.

336. - Alright, alright, now y'all— - Jamie, come on..

337. - Oh! So.. - That's some funny stuff.

338. After I left Paris

339. I immediately went back to New York

340. where I established my own acting school.

341. But I find that the students here

342. are much more willing to take what Edwina has to offer.

343. - 'Uhh.' - 'Oh! Yeah.'

344. - Oh, Paris sounds so romantic. - True that.

345. Junior, honey, when are you ever gonna take me to France?

346. Baby, why spend all that money?

347. They got French toast right here on this menu.

348. Now, see what we go through?

349. No, no, no, France is a great idea.

350. It's a good time to go over there, they're havin'

351. French fly free.

352. Jamie, you are so funny.

353. Helen Junior, I hope you know

354. what a very special young man you have here.

355. 'Oh, yes, we know.'

356. That's why we are so supportive of Jamie's career.

357. Oh, that's great.

358. - Let's toast Jamie, shall we? - 'Oh, yes.'

359. To my nephew, Jamie, may he always rise to the occasion.

360. Ooh. Yeah!

361. Hey, hey.

362. No, baby, that's "Hear, hear."

363. Oh, Edwina, I just have to thank you.

364. You have really bent over backwards for Jamie.

365. Yeah.

366. She's tryin', anyway.

367. Oh, Jamie, Jamie, you seem a little nervous there.

368. Yeah, well, I-I-it's-it's just the fact that, uh..

369. Uh... I've just been worried

370. about my big audition and everything like that.

371. I don't know if I got what it takes.

372. Oh, Jamie, don't worry about that.

373. I will help you through it, darling.

374. Oh, good. Uh.

375. Now, if you'll excuse me

376. I have to go to the bathroom.

377. Uh, can I go with you?

378. No, I'm just sayin', we in Hollywood

379. and everything like that, and, uh..

380. you never know, be some, uh..

381. freaks up at the bathroom, I just wanna watch your back.

382. Well, I'll take care of that, Jamie, I got to go myself.

383. So, will you please get up, and let us out of here?

384. We got to go, 'cause you need..

385. Come on, baby. Jamie.

386. Jamie, get your black ass up.

387. - We'll be right back. - Boy, you know what..

388. Oh, take your time.

389. D-d-don't take your time.

390. - Unc, I love you, man. - I love you too, Jamie.

391. Jamie, let's get straight to the point.

392. It is obvious that you are a little uncomfortable.

393. So let me put your mind at ease.

394. I am not wearin' any undergarments.

395. Waiter..

396. W-waiter. Hey, bro.

397. Hey.

398. Se-security.

399. Jesus.

400. Oh, help. Oh.

401. Oh, Jamie, baby, you finish my inventory?

402. Oh, Jamie, I couldn't find you.

403. You got a call from that casting director

404. and, uh, they changed their mind.

405. I figured.

406. You're getting the part

407. opposite Laurence Fishburne.

408. - Are you serious? - Can you believe that?

409. I'm on my way, I'm on my way.

410. - I'm on my way. - Congratulations.

411. - I'm on my way. - Oh, yes.

412. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

413. What is all the hoopla about?

414. Jamie got the part.

415. He got the part of the, uh, Pizza Boy #2?

416. No, he got the co-starring part.

417. Well, silly Poitier

418. who'd you have to sleep with for that role?

419. Braxton, stop.

420. Sleep with?

421. Oh, Jamie, they want you to call and confirm.

422. - Oh, honey. - Go call.

423. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm..

424. I'm gonna go ahead and call, alright. Yeah.

425. Uh, yeah, uh, hello, uh, yeah, this is, uh, Jamie King.

426. No, I was callin' to let you know that

427. I will not be there at 8 o'clock

428. in the mornin' tomorrow.

429. Jamie. What are you doin'?

430. I'm handlin' my business.

431. Yeah, yeah, well, you can tell Larry Fishburne

432. that I will not be co-starrin'

433. in "Ike Turner, The Prison Years."

434. No, no, no, I didn't say.. No, I didn't say, no..

435. I didn't say Laurence. I said Larry.

436. Larry, Larry, Larry. No, listen.

437. Laurence, I said Larry.

438. Listen..

439. Laurence. Larry, Larry.

440. I got some unfinished business I got to take care of.

441. - Jamie? - Jamie, what are you doin'?

442. Why is he walking like that?

443. I don't know.

444. Jamie.

445. Well, I wasn't expecting you so soon

446. but, uh..

447. now that you're here.

448. Hold on a minute, just cool your heels.

449. We need to talk, get everything out on the open.

450. Get everything out on the table.

451. Ooh, I like tables.

452. Would you turn your engine off just for a minute and listen.

453. Even if you and Aunt Helen weren't the best of friends

454. I still want people to know and recognize me

455. in this business, for my acting skills.

456. I see.

457. Not to say..

458. my other skills ain't the bomb.

459. But really, what I'm tryin' to say is that when I make it

460. you know, become a star and that whole thing

461. when people look at me, I want them to look at me and say

462. "There goes a guy who worked with Edwina Dubois."

463. and not a guy who..

464. who worked Edwina Dubois.

465. Hmm.

466. Well, you know, I admire you for that, Jamie.

467. And if you really want to make it on your own

468. I will respect your wishes

469. and I won't make that call

470. to Laurence Fishburne.

471. You're tripping right, you already

472. made a little call to little Larry.

473. - I know what you did. - Jamie, Jamie.

474. I didn't call anybody.

475. What you talking about, Edwina?

476. I've been too busy.

477. I was gonna call him after our session, darlin'.

478. Not before.

479. Wait a minute, wait-wait a minute.

480. You mean to tell me that I got the part on my own?

481. - You got the part? - 'I got the part.'

482. - Congratulations! - Edwina, no, watch yourself.

483. - Watch yourself. - When do you start?

484. I start, uh, uh..

485. Oh, I got a phone call I got to make.

486. I'm ready for my close up, Ms. Dubois.

487. Hey, Jamie, how did the audition go?

488. Did you get that part from the Lou-Laurence Fishburne movie?

489. Hey, is that Lou Gossett?

490. Lou!

491. Can I get an autograph?

492. "A Time To Kill."

493. Samuel L. Jackson.

494. Yeah, I'm glad they dead

495. and I hope they all burn in hell.
