00:00Wait, wait, wait. All right. Hold on. Connor is talking now. Okay? All right, now listen.
00:10You are five million dollars over budget. Hold on one second. Miss Winston.
00:14Wilder. That's right. Hold on. Okay. Listen, you're
00:17five million dollars over budget, so either we're going to stop paying you, or we stop
00:20feeding the cast and the crew. It's your decision. So, you're new in town, and you got a story
00:28to tell. Well, nobody ever said that Connor Fulton didn't give Newtown a break. Ain't
00:34that right? See? Everyone knows. That's George. He's my assistant. He's my eyes and my ears.
00:43You can see the big picture. Hi. So, shoot. I got a ten o'clock. It's coming in early.
00:51You got five minutes. Any good story can be told in five minutes. Ain't that right? See?
00:58Give me your best shot. It's the action-packed true story of how the search for the American
01:04Dream goes ominously awry.
01:13Kind of like a modern James Dean, but during his quest for the American Dream, Jimmy committed
01:19armed robbery, a felony, but he's my cousin. I mean, I sat next to him at the kids' table
01:24at every holiday dinner, but what made him do it? Here's the twist. You see, I shot interviews
01:33of every family member and eyewitnesses to the actual crime for a historic docudrama,
01:40kind of like Reds, but without the communists, and we'll cut back to them ever so often for
01:44background and to help uncover Jimmy's motivations. The diet pills are working. Oh, thank you.
01:51Are those canned? Oh, of course they're canned. Are you nervous, Beatrice? No, I'm very relaxed.
01:55You're gonna be wonderful, Uncle Sid. You're gonna be brilliant. I like that apathetic
01:59thing you got going on, and it's all about glamour over here, isn't it? Oh, how do I
02:02look? Wonderful. Good. I look right in there? You look absolutely, you look really good.
02:06Look, it's all about cleverness. Roll sound. Um, should I wait for, like, action? Uh, wait
02:13until I say dysfunction. Dysfunction. Okay, okay, good. What do you want me to talk about?
02:19Tell me about my cousin, Jimmy, and Uncle Sid. You look marvelous. Oh, Jimmy is our
02:27son. We love him. He's a very good boy, a very good boy. You know what rotten is? He's
02:35rotten, rotten to the core. Oh, but he's a very good boy, you know? Thank God he's got
02:41my genes. You know, he takes after my side of the family. Your side of the family? Your
02:47side of the family's crazy. You know, all this bad stuff with Jimmy, it's your fault.
02:54My fault? Huh. I ought to sue you. I ought to sue you and your family, you know that?
02:59For what? Because when I married you, they passed you off as sane. You're fucking crazy.
03:05Ow. This is good. This is good. You used fucking properly. I have a mother and a father, too.
03:16Most people do. That's very identifiable. I'm a basket case until my second day. You
03:25don't want to know what he does at the grocery store? Jesus Christ, she's going to bring
03:30up the candy bin thing again. He steals little pieces of candy from the candy bin at the
03:36grocery store. Jimmy loves to see him do it. Like father, like son. You know, Jimmy used
03:43to be a very sweet boy. My husband here corrupted him. Okay, so maybe Jimmy didn't grow up in
03:50the best environment, but it's not like he was so different than any other kid. I can't
03:55do homework because they told me to do homework. I can't work under these conditions. Right,
04:01but there was always a constant in Jimmy's life. His love. No, no, his obsession for
04:06Miranda, even when they were kids. Miranda, I love you. Best thing that ever happened
04:13to Jimmy was Miranda, but even when they were kids, it wasn't always roses. I told you,
04:18Jimmy, get the fuck out of here. I'm serious. By the time they got married, she'd been kicking
04:23him out for years. Just leave. See, things haven't changed much, but unfortunately, every
04:30time Jimmy and Miranda fought, he'd always go to his best friend for solace, for understanding.
04:35Unfortunately, his best friend is virus. His partner in crime, so to speak. Rocket
04:41scientist virus isn't, but Jimmy still considered him a friend.
