02:00Mark, wait a minute.
02:04Yes, sir?
02:07Booked a film role.
02:08Whoa.
02:09You gonna quit your job?
02:11That's more of an indie flick.
02:12Ah, Earth House.
02:14Good.
02:14I don't want to sell out either.
02:16It's an educational film.
02:17It's a short, really.
02:18It's part of a program to get girls to consider non-traditional careers.
02:22Produced by the school board, the provincial advisory council for the status of women, and a grant from the federal government.
02:28In Canada, the major studio was the taxpayer.
02:31So, the director's looking for teenagers, and I recommended you.
02:36I don't know what to say.
02:40Here.
02:41You're playing Brad.
02:43The address is on there.
02:44See you tomorrow, okay?
02:457 a.m.
02:46Yeah.
02:46Oh, one thing, though.
02:48You need to know how to play pool.
02:51Pool?
02:52Call me Minnesota Fats.
02:55Very good.
02:57If there was one thing I knew nothing about, it was pool.
03:00But what was acting, if not lying?
03:11Now, Mr. Murphy here has spent the last 50 years building a radio empire, almost as big as my used car empire.
03:18Now, I've sold more cars in Newfoundland than anyone else, and every one of those cars had a radio.
03:24I've sold more radios than Radio Shack, so I think I know a thing or two about the radio business.
03:29Bill Bartlett, owner of Bartlett's Bergen Cars, and new owner of VOCM.
03:34Now, when I heard Murph say he was going to pack it in, I knew the time had come for me to pack it out, to expand.
03:41And, Murph, I don't want you to worry.
03:43We're going to take the station you and your family built, and we're going to use it to expand, to build something bigger, better, higher, wider, longer, faster, harder.
03:56Now, let's have a toast to your retirement.
03:58And let's make it classy.
04:00We got shots!
04:03All right, Mike, what did I do?
04:05Your best, sir.
04:07Do you think he's going to keep us all on?
04:10VOCM has always found a way to survive, and it always will.
04:14I hear he's going to gut the place.
04:15Okay, here we go.
04:17The VOCM owner is old and new, because a used radio station is like a used car.
04:29Jeez, Mike, you didn't touch your drink.
04:31You don't want to have a toast with me?
04:33Uh, no, sir, no.
04:34I just, I'm much of a drinker.
04:36I mean, here I am trying to get to know my new people.
04:38How am I supposed to get to know you if you won't have a drink with me?
04:49Cheers.
04:50Now, listen, I got some big plans.
04:52We got to modernize this place.
04:54We need new blood.
04:55We need a transfusion.
04:56I got ideas to take VOCM into the fast lane, like Evel Knievel, right off a cliff.
05:02I don't think that means what you think.
05:05Linda.
05:07Gertie.
05:07Gertie.
05:08What kind of car are you driving, Gertie?
05:10An escort.
05:11My kind of lady.
05:12What if I told you I could take you out of the escort and put you into a fiesta?
05:16Nothing.
05:16My boy, you promised Mary you had to give up.
05:32It's not worth it.
05:34Last time...
05:34That was 15 years ago, Dick, all right?
05:37What choice do I have?
05:39He's my boss now.
05:46He's my boss now.
06:16A little bit of practice.
06:17Now, here.
06:18Hit the orange here, but just on the side, right?
06:20Don't scratch it.
06:23Oh!
06:24Don't rip the tablecloth.
06:26Your mother's going to have my hide.
06:27Now, here.
06:28Let me see.
06:29All right.
06:30Orange off the apple side pocket.
06:32Here we go.
06:34Beautiful.
06:35All right.
06:35Here we go.
06:38All right.
06:39What do you got?
06:40This apple.
06:40Okay.
06:41Good, good, good.
06:43Oh!
06:43Whoa!
06:44Hey, we're not making juice here.
06:46I wasn't the only critch looking to sink a shot.
06:52You need to practice.
06:54All right.
06:54It's my turn now, isn't it?
06:56All right.
06:56Go on, Pop.
07:00What are you up to?
07:02Oh!
07:04What are you doing with my good fruit?
07:07Oh, I told him not to.
07:09I had to practice for a movie, Mom.
07:11It's a big deal.
07:13Movie?
07:13I got a part in a short film, Dad.
07:16Well, that's great news.
07:17Come on.
07:18We need to celebrate.
07:19We should order pizza.
07:20We'll get a Hawaiian.
07:21The pineapple will make up for the fruit.
07:22Hey!
07:23I'd never seen the old man, so devil may care.
07:26What are you so happy about?
07:27Can't be happy to see my family?
07:30See my gorgeous wife?
07:31Is this the stick that was up your ass?
07:36All right.
07:38Show you how it's done.
07:40Apple quarter pocket.
07:47No apple.
07:48Perfect.
07:48Dad, you can't eat above this room.
07:51Hang on.
07:52What?
07:52Mary, come on.
07:53Show him how it's done.
07:55All right.
07:55Okay.
07:56The house was full of laughter, and I was about to become a movie star.
08:04Everything was right in my world.
08:10Come on.
08:11Come on.
08:12It's six.
08:13I have to get to set.
08:15Mike, rambling Jesus will you get up?
08:17I won't.
08:18You're going to be late for work.
08:19He can't be late.
08:20He lives next door.
08:21Come on.
08:22Oh, jeez.
08:26Don't we?
08:37Hey, Dick.
08:37It's Mike.
08:38Jeez, boy.
08:39Mike, where are you to?
08:41First news is quarter to seven.
08:42Yeah, I'm not coming in.
08:44I'm sick.
08:45Mike?
08:45You never called in sick before.
08:47I'm not up to it.
08:48My head is pounding.
08:49Mike, I know you don't want to hear it, but young Mike was just a young fella last time.
09:00It would break his heart.
09:02I'm fine, Dick.
09:14Yeah, Marcabs.
09:15Uh, do you pick up a half case into your pale ale and drop it to 385 Kenmont Road?
09:21Yeah, I know what time it is.
09:25Well, as soon as they opened it.
09:27I'm Dick Dunphy, sitting in for Mike Critch.
09:35Russian President Mick, Mike, Mr. Gorb, Gorbic, Garbage, Jesus.
09:43Where the hell is your father?
09:45I have to focus.
09:49I'm the best actor in my grade.
09:50Hey, this is my big break.
09:53If this goes well.
09:58Hey, E.T.
09:59Mark Critch here on the set of my latest feature, The Hustler 3.
10:03More hustling.
10:04Lights, camera, action.
10:07It's my biggest fan.
10:09Just kidding.
10:10I have bigger.
10:12You can't top perfection.
10:16And that's lunch.
10:19Hey, E.T.
10:20Thanks for stopping by.
10:22See you in the movies.
10:31Hey, check your name off the list.
10:33There's juice boxes in the cooler.
10:34One per kid.
10:36Thanks.
10:39Well, at least I wouldn't get a big head.
10:49Hey.
10:49There he is.
10:52Isn't this exciting?
10:54Huh?
10:54The glamour?
10:55Did you get a juice box?
10:57Uh, Mr. Lewis, this is my mom.
10:59Well, Mark certainly enjoys your theater arts class.
11:02Madam, I am going to make your son a star.
11:06Well, you certainly have done wonders with yourself.
11:11I'm going to head home and check on your father.
11:13You can't leave.
11:16He's a minor.
11:17He has to have a chaperone.
11:18Packity pack.
11:19Packers.
11:20Well, if this is a prison, I at least get a phone call.
11:24Jesus.
11:26Okay.
11:26Um, they say only one juice box per actor, but they got to feed us by law.
11:33It's perks, right?
11:34Mm-hmm.
11:35Oh, there's the director.
11:36Just came off the children's hospital telethon.
11:39What's going?
11:39So, who do you play?
11:43The character's name is Cook.
11:45Gave him a bit of a backstory.
11:47You're allowed to do that?
11:48Yes, that's how you flesh your character out.
11:50The way I figure is he started out working here as a boy.
11:53Hated it, but there was nowhere else for him to hang out in a dead-end town.
11:57So he hitchhikes to the big city, but the city eats him up.
12:01Comes back here 15 years later, and he ends up taking the only job he can get.
12:06The same one he walked out on.
12:10Wow.
12:12That's amazing.
12:13Did you have a lot of lines?
12:15Well, just your kids, here's your chips.
12:17But, you know, it's what's between the lines that counts.
12:20Here, let me get up.
12:23Who's that?
12:25It was Steve Rex, lead.
12:27He's a good actor, man.
12:29It's a bit of a big deal, too.
12:30He's the kid on the cover of the phone book.
12:31So he's famous.
12:33I was 14, and I was already washed up.
12:37Yep, come on.
12:45Where the freak is he?
12:53POCM, you've got a dick on the line.
12:55Dick, get Mike for me.
12:57He's not with you.
12:58What do you think I would be looking for him if he's with me?
13:00We're about to roll, no talking.
13:02Find him.
13:04Lock it up.
13:14It's a bit early for that, isn't it?
13:16Just needed a straightener.
13:17Everything's fine.
13:24Well, it won't be when Mary gets home.
13:26I'm not a kid anymore, Dad.
13:28Then maybe you should face your problems like a man, son.
13:32Oh, here.
13:33Here.
13:33Here, drink them all.
13:35There you go.
13:37You know how to break balls, right?
13:39I'm always breaking balls.
13:41I'm a comedian.
13:46Action.
13:51Nice shot.
13:54Should I still say nice shot even if it isn't?
13:57Cut.
13:58Reset.
13:59Sorry, the stick was slippery.
14:01That's your cue.
14:02Yeah, I know my cue, thanks.
14:03When he says action, I hit the ball with the stick.
14:05We're good.
14:06Action.
14:13Cut.
14:13I can do it with an orange.
14:16How long is this going to take?
14:18I can chaperone if you need to pop out for a bit.
14:20Are you sure you don't mind?
14:22I'll watch them for a living.
14:23Go on.
14:25Thanks.
14:27Action.
14:29Whoa.
14:30Cut.
14:32Sorry.
14:33It's all right, bud.
14:35Come on, will you have a beer with your son?
14:40I'm making you a coffee.
14:46Oh, no.
14:48Here we go.
14:50Why weren't you at work?
14:55You never.
14:56I'll be downstairs at Mike's.
15:09I know.
15:10I know.
15:11I slipped up.
15:14We've been through this before, Mike, and I told you I won't do it again.
15:19The boys.
15:22God forgive me.
15:23I'll leave.
15:24My new boss asked me to have a drink.
15:27What was I supposed to say?
15:29You're supposed to say no.
15:40Maybe we should head back in case he messes us.
15:43Who?
15:44Dick?
15:44Whoa.
15:45No need for the D word.
15:46Bit of a mood killer.
15:47You're kidding me.
15:48Dick's been like another dad to me, and so I just feel a little weird hanging out with
15:55his...
15:55Daughter?
15:56Yeah, the other D word.
15:58So let's just tell him.
16:00Oh, come on.
16:01He's never going to forgive me.
16:03I don't owe him anything.
16:04I mean, I hardly know him.
16:05But you took the job here because you wanted to, right?
16:10Maybe.
16:10But right now, the only person I want to know better is you.
16:16Okay.
16:17Our little secret.
16:21Oh, sorry.
16:22I didn't know.
16:24I've just come to look at the furnace.
16:27It seems that things are hot enough already.
16:30Yeah.
16:31Pop.
16:31Hey.
16:32Hi.
16:32This is Dick's daughter.
16:34Oh, Amanda.
16:36Well, your mother must have very strong genes.
16:42Sorry to interrupt.
16:46We're not doing this again, Mike.
16:49Hey, um, would you like lunch?
16:52Please bring him beer.
16:53I won't have it in my house.
16:54What?
16:58Oh, yeah.
16:59Take two.
17:01I won't tell.
17:01So, uh, love your work.
17:09You know, the phone book.
17:11Use it all the time.
17:12Cool.
17:14It's one of my favorite books.
17:15It's right up there with the Bible.
17:17Steven, by the way.
17:21Mark.
17:22Don't worry about the pool stuff.
17:24You know, movie magic can fix it.
17:27Thanks.
17:27I may not have won an Oscar, but at least I made a friend.
17:33Hey, I play pool.
17:34I can take the shot for him.
17:35Great.
17:36Give him your shirt.
17:38My shirt?
17:39Hurry up.
17:40I...
17:41Some friend.
17:42Being into movies wasn't like it was in the movies.
17:46Thanks.
17:50Cuts!
17:51Moving on!
17:52Yeah!
17:54Hey, no one will know.
17:55He wasn't out to steal the spotlight.
17:58He was sharing it.
17:59So, you're kind of like my stuntman.
18:01I can use you for all the stuff I can't do.
18:04Running, catching, stairs.
18:08So, what kind of stuff have you done?
18:09I wrote and directed a play, and I do stand-up.
18:12Maybe we could collaborate.
18:14Could I read some of your stuff?
18:16That'd be awesome.
18:17Here.
18:19Take my number.
18:20Wow.
18:21I was getting the phone number of the guy on the cover of the phone book.
18:27I found him down to the Strand.
18:38He hasn't been like this since Mark was born.
18:41You should really mind your own business, Dick.
18:48Maybe I should.
18:50But I'll tell you this for free, Mike.
18:53It's not worth it.
18:54I'm worried about me job, too.
18:56But my job is all I got to worry about.
18:58But you...
18:59Give it up, will you?
19:00Mike, you promised me that you...
19:03Jesus, I said I'd stop, all right?
19:05How many more times do you want me to say it?
19:09You got some nerve.
19:10Getting him involved.
19:16What happens in this house?
19:18You stay in the G.D. house.
19:19Don't you raise your voice at me.
19:21I'll talk as loud as I bloody well want.
19:25Dad?
19:25Christ.
19:31Do you want me to stay?
19:35No.
19:41You'll be all right, little fella.
19:46Mom, what's going on?
19:51Dad?
19:52Go to bed!
19:52I'd never heard that tone in my father's voice before.
19:58He was a stranger to me.
20:01Mark, I'm sorry, all right?
20:06Honey, your dad, he's just a...
20:08A drunk.
20:09It's all right to say it.
20:11An alcoholic.
20:16I've never even seen you take a drink before.
20:21And you never will again.
20:22Okay?
20:24I'm just going to pour out every drop of booze in the house.
20:27All right?
20:31Well, there isn't any.
20:33Because I made sure of that.
20:34You sneaky bugger.
20:49I'd never seen my father drink before.
20:52And I never did again after that night.
20:54But I'd seen enough.
20:56A mask can be something to hide behind.
21:03Or a mask can free us to reveal our true selves.
21:06I'm just laughing.
21:17Oh.
21:18Oh.
21:27Nice shot.
21:28Kids, here's your chips.
21:40Got some news.
21:43My girlfriend just got accepted into engineering.
21:47So you're gonna let your girlfriend be an engineer?
21:51Don't be so old-fashioned.
21:53Times are changing.
21:55Yeah, sure.
21:58Excuse me?
22:08That game is broken.
22:11I know. I'm here to fix it.
22:14I'm here to fix it.
22:15I'll get this.
22:15I'm here to fix it.
22:16I'm here to fix it.
22:17I'm here to fix it on my phone.
22:18I'm here to fix it.
22:19I'll get this.
