00:00:00I

00:00:36Testing, Richard, can you hear me?

00:00:38Test, one, two, one, two, yes.

00:01:05Any time.

00:01:11Yeah, I know, I know, Richard, any time.

00:01:18Push me.

00:01:20Sorry, sorry?

00:01:21Push me.

00:01:26More.

00:01:34Attend the lords of France and Burgundy, Gloucester,

00:01:38and let not women's weapons, water drops, stain my man's cheeks.

00:01:45No, you unnatural.

00:01:48No, you unnatural hags.

00:01:55I will have some.

00:01:56I will have such revenges on you both.

00:02:03On the camera.

00:02:24It never gets any easier, does it, darling?

00:02:28It certainly never gets any easier to watch.

00:02:31What does that mean?

00:02:32The actress playing Goneril.

00:02:35That was an accent, right?

00:02:36Yes, Norwegian.

00:02:38Was that not a problem?

00:02:40Was that not pointed out as a problem?

00:02:42I mean, I don't mean to be politically incorrect,

00:02:45but what did King Lear adopt?

00:02:47It took me out of the play.

00:02:49It took me right out of the play, as did the set.

00:02:52No, not what I would have done.

00:02:54Well, we couldn't afford you, could we?

00:02:57Well, overall, though, you liked it.

00:02:59And by it, I mean, you know who?

00:03:01Darling, you were wonderful.

00:03:03The director, she could just get down on his knees.

00:03:05I wasn't pushing?

00:03:06Not at all.

00:03:07There was no effort.

00:03:09That's what was so effective.

00:03:11You looked so weak and sapped and broken.

00:03:15You made me cry.

00:03:16I'm sure anyone with a heart cried at the sight of that.

00:03:21I know you don't read reviews, but...

00:03:24No.

00:03:24No, no, no.

00:03:25Holly...

00:03:26No, I have to...

00:03:26I have raves.

00:03:28Can you believe it?

00:03:29Raves across the board.

00:03:31Except for the New York Times.

00:03:32Even the Times.

00:03:34I don't believe it.

00:03:36No.

00:03:36What is his name?

00:03:38Xerxes?

00:03:39Xander.

00:03:39Xander Young.

00:03:40Xander Young, yeah.

00:03:41I only skimmed the review, but he clearly loved it.

00:03:45He said you were the anchor.

00:03:46The anchor?

00:03:47Yes.

00:03:47Wow.

00:03:49He...

00:03:49Hmm.

00:03:50He has liked me in ten years.

00:03:52He has not.

00:03:53No.

00:03:54Here's to small victories.

00:03:56Bastard.

00:03:59Can we go somewhere quiet?

00:04:00I can't bear this music.

00:04:02You know, we can talk about, you know, the play and...

00:04:05No, no, no, no.

00:04:06My performance.

00:04:07Darling, you cannot depend on your ex-wife for your social life.

00:04:10Anyway, I'm here with David.

00:04:13Even my colorist?

00:04:14No, God, no.

00:04:15Divorce the way of David.

00:04:17It's not a date.

00:04:18He wanted to see the play.

00:04:20I didn't want to come alone.

00:04:22David!

00:04:25David!

00:04:26Well, I want to put you in the hall of time.

00:04:28That was a really excellent play.

00:04:30Yes.

00:04:31I have no idea how you remember all those lines.

00:04:34Don't say that, David.

00:04:35Only idiots say that.

00:04:37Look at the time!

00:04:38Wow!

00:04:40I, uh, I have a, um, I've got a thing, thing.

00:04:43Oh, oh, oh, you see what you've done?

00:04:46Sorry.

00:04:47Easy.

00:04:47Slow down, cowboy.

00:04:48Take it easy, darling.

00:04:49Okay, well, hello everybody.

00:04:51Hello, everybody.

00:04:55Hello, everybody.

00:04:58Hello, everybody.

00:04:59Hello, everybody.

00:05:03Table for Xander Young.

00:05:04Mr. Young, we have your table ready for you.

00:05:08Right this way.

00:05:09Can I, uh...

00:05:15Here you are?

00:05:16Enjoy.

00:05:18Enjoy.

00:05:21Here.

00:05:29Yeah.

00:05:30What is it?

00:05:31All right.

00:05:33Yeah.

00:05:34Mm-hmm.

00:05:35Mm-hmm.

00:05:36Mm-hmm.

00:05:37Mm-hmm.

00:05:45Zander Young

00:05:46Yes

00:05:47Richard Bean

00:05:49I heard you liked my leer

00:05:51I agree with you

00:05:53I'm glad we're on the same page

00:05:55At last

00:05:56I can't talk to you

00:05:57Why not?

00:05:58I can't talk to you about what I write

00:05:59I'm afraid there are very strict rules

00:06:02Journalistic ethics

00:06:03Oh, well, I just wanted to swing by and tell you that

00:06:06I appreciate your support

00:06:07I've waited a long time for it

00:06:09But truth be told

00:06:10I haven't been a fan of your writing

00:06:13For quite some time

00:06:15But I'm starting to like it now

00:06:17Did you read the review?

00:06:19Troy

00:06:19No, I had it summarized for me

00:06:22He loved the production

00:06:22He didn't like you

00:06:24Troy

00:06:24I'm a little confused

00:06:25Because he liked the production

00:06:27But he didn't like the leer

00:06:29I don't think that's possible

00:06:31Do you know how much shit he has to sit through every week?

00:06:32We do not engage

00:06:33You're not engaging, Zander

00:06:34I am engaging

00:06:35Okay?

00:06:37I saw the show, too

00:06:39And?

00:06:40Lifeless

00:06:41Passionless

00:06:43I'm trying to process this

00:06:46I was told

00:06:48That he said I was the anchor

00:06:50Like an anchor

00:06:52Dragging the whole thing down

00:06:55That's very different

00:06:56We can't discuss this

00:06:58No, of course not

00:06:58You can only slander me in print

00:07:00But not to my face

00:07:01It's not slander

00:07:02It's an opinion

00:07:03It's not an opinion

00:07:04It's a megaphone

00:07:07I have an opinion

00:07:10I think

00:07:11Troy

00:07:12Troy is too young for you

00:07:14But I'm not going to write a piece about it in the New York Times

00:07:17Because that would be rude

00:07:18Do you know he used to love you?

00:07:20He still talks about your Hamlet

00:07:22At some little theater in Pennsylvania

00:07:24Wait a minute

00:07:25You came and saw my Hamlet at the MFT

00:07:28He wanted to see this kid that everyone was talking about

00:07:31And he thought that he'd seen the future of American theater

00:07:34We're leaving

00:07:34But that Richard Bean is long gone

00:07:37And now you're here

00:07:38On your own opening night

00:07:40A sad old man drinking alone

00:07:42Troy

00:07:43A man more lost and defeated than King fucking Lear

00:07:46There, I just summarized the review for you

00:07:49You're welcome

00:07:49Come

00:07:52No

00:07:55You

00:07:56What the fuck

00:07:56You are natural

00:07:59Hank

00:08:00No regrets

00:08:02Were you drunk?

00:08:04No

00:08:04Were you high?

00:08:05No

00:08:05What I was was justifiably

00:08:08Miffed at a dismissive

00:08:10Cruel review

00:08:12From a third rate critic

00:08:15And that's why you attacked him

00:08:17And his husband

00:08:18And called them

00:08:20Unnatural hags

00:08:21That's a quote

00:08:22From the play

00:08:22Great

00:08:23There is a whole subreddit

00:08:25Whatever the fuck that is

00:08:26About you being a homophobe

00:08:28Someone called it gay bashing

00:08:30I'm a Broadway actor

00:08:32Okay

00:08:32I'm as gay

00:08:34As a man can be

00:08:35Without actually being gay

00:08:36Know what I'm saying?

00:08:37So

00:08:38You don't know

00:08:39You weren't there

00:08:40No

00:08:40I wasn't

00:08:41Luckily

00:08:41There's video

00:08:45Okay

00:08:48But they shall be

00:08:49The terrors

00:08:51Of the earth

00:08:52You look deranged

00:08:53I'll weep

00:08:54King Lear's quite deranged

00:08:55At this point in the play

00:08:57I see

00:09:06Get off of it

00:09:10Why is the table on fire?

00:09:12I don't know

00:09:13I don't know

00:09:13I must have left before any first responders showed up

00:09:17This is a viral shitshow, Richard

00:09:20Because it's taken out of context

00:09:21I mean, I'm not saying

00:09:23It's a deep fake

00:09:26Could we say it's a deep fake?

00:09:28Nah

00:09:29I'm gonna lean into the drugs and booze angle

00:09:32Oh, good

00:09:33I'll put out statements

00:09:34Yeah, but not an apology

00:09:36Oh, you're filled with remorse

00:09:38And regret

00:09:39And shame

00:09:40I'm not filled with any of those

00:09:43I told a critic the truth

00:09:45I have no remorse

00:09:47I feel no shame

00:09:48I'm a little embarrassed

00:09:49By the fact that I did launch into a verse of Edelweiss

00:09:54Because I was trying to defuse the situation

00:09:56But apologies, regret, no

00:09:59So you write whatever you want to write

00:10:02I don't care

00:10:03I have to go to the theater

00:10:06Why?

00:10:07Because I thought maybe I'd do a matinee of King Lear

00:10:11What the fuck?

00:10:12No, Richard, you have no matinee

00:10:14You have no evening performance either

00:10:17The producers are putting you on hiatus

00:10:20A forced hiatus

00:10:21While I clear this shit up

00:10:24I have to be on that stage

00:10:25Every performance, people are gonna think

00:10:27What?

00:10:28That you had some kind of public breakdown?

00:10:30Well, you did, Richard

00:10:31You had a small, involuntary mental collapse

00:10:36Which I'm going to say was caused

00:10:38By mixing booze with medication you were taking for back pain

00:10:41I'm gonna need a month to clear this up

00:10:44Maybe two in the meantime

00:10:47Leave

00:10:47Leave?

00:10:49As in go somewhere else

00:10:50And I don't mean Brooklyn

00:10:51I mean like a remote island

00:10:53Another country

00:10:55Another state

00:10:56At the very least

00:10:57So I'm being banished

00:10:59From Broadway

00:11:00For entertaining people

00:11:04That's what I do

00:11:06Okay

00:11:12Hello?

00:11:13Mom's dead

00:11:14Who's this?

00:11:15John

00:11:16John who?

00:11:18Your brother

00:11:18Oh, hi

00:11:19Hi, John

00:11:20This is my brother

00:11:21Did you say mom's dead?

00:11:25Yes

00:11:30Did she read the review?

00:11:40He's coming tomorrow

00:11:42He cannot go to the theater

00:11:44Promise me

00:11:45What do you want me to say?

00:11:48I don't know

00:11:48Say anything

00:11:49It's being fumigated

00:11:50It's tented

00:11:52Lie

00:11:55Lie

00:11:56Why did you have to tell him?

00:11:58Why did I tell him his mother died?

00:12:00He has not seen her in three years

00:12:01The only person he cares about is himself

00:12:03You know that

00:12:03He just beat up a critic

00:12:05It's all over the internet

00:12:06It's literally the most narcissistic thing a person can do

00:12:09I will deal with him

00:12:10I can't handle his crap right now

00:12:13He's gonna come back here

00:12:14He's gonna intone

00:12:16All over the place

00:12:18Just in case you forgot

00:12:19We are so financially fucked

00:12:24What is that?

00:12:25A bijou

00:12:26Oh, no

00:12:27No

00:12:27No, no, no

00:12:28You cannot

00:12:29You cannot ply me with alcohol

00:12:30No

00:12:33I feel so bad for your dad

00:12:35I know you do

00:12:39Oh, sweet Jesus

00:12:40I don't know how you do it

00:12:42It's about how you express the lemon

00:12:47How the two of you came from the same parents

00:12:48I will never understand

00:12:51Richard has to pay for the funeral

00:12:56I'll ask him

00:12:56No, no

00:12:57You will tell him

00:12:58You will look him in the eye

00:13:02Keep him away from the theater

00:13:23Hey, pal

00:13:25Oh

00:13:38Good you're here

00:13:42Glad to be here

00:13:45Oh

00:13:46Thanks

00:13:46I'm over

00:13:47Over here

00:13:52Wow

00:13:52Change the bed, huh?

00:13:57God, look at this

00:13:58Everything

00:13:59Everything's closed

00:14:00Yeah, well

00:14:01Times are tough

00:14:03Struggling

00:14:03Like everywhere else

00:14:05Still feels like home

00:14:08I'd love to swing by the theater

00:14:09No, no

00:14:10That's not the

00:14:11Let's go to dad

00:14:12Wait for a minute

00:14:13I have to stand on that stage

00:14:14You know, I need the inspiration

00:14:16Hey, let, let, no

00:14:17Hey, Richard

00:14:17Let's just, you know

00:14:18Let's focus on mom and dad today

00:14:20Okay

00:14:21Come on

00:14:21I'll take you home

00:14:22Okay

00:14:22Get set

00:14:22Sure

00:14:23You're right

00:14:23Yeah

00:14:23I'm glad she went quickly

00:14:26No

00:14:26She didn't

00:14:27She didn't

00:14:28She was sick for a while

00:14:30Cool

00:14:30I just saw her last spring

00:14:32No

00:14:33Yes, I brought her that ostrich egg

00:14:35From Harris

00:14:35No, no

00:14:36That was three years ago

00:14:37Three years

00:14:38Three years

00:14:39Three years

00:14:40Three years

00:14:40This is me

00:14:42How's dad taking it

00:14:43Well, he's, uh

00:14:46Coping

00:14:47You know

00:14:48It's hard

00:14:55Listen

00:14:58You need help

00:14:59With the funeral

00:15:00Oh, I'll take care of it

00:15:02I'll stage something theatrical but discreet

00:15:06Death will be the theme

00:15:07But it can't be all about death

00:15:08It'll also be uplifting

00:15:10But appropriately depressing

00:15:13Music has to be there

00:15:15Quintet, maybe

00:15:15I meant paying for it

00:15:17I know it's asking a lot

00:15:18And I hate doing it

00:15:20But maybe it'll help you

00:15:23With the guilt I hope you're feeling

00:15:24For not having seen her

00:15:25In all of this

00:15:39All right

00:15:54Hey, here

00:15:55Here you go

00:15:57You're not coming in?

00:15:58No, I would

00:15:58But look

00:15:59I got a crazy afternoon

00:16:01Miranda's there

00:16:01She'll, uh

00:16:02Set you up

00:16:03Miranda, great

00:16:05Spends a lot of time with dad

00:16:06It's like two peas those two

00:16:08It's nice

00:16:09She'll love seeing you

00:16:10And I her

00:16:12Hey

00:16:13Come by tonight

00:16:14I'll make you dinner

00:16:15Oh, great

00:16:16I'll stop by the theater

00:16:18On the way

00:16:18Yeah, no

00:16:18Don't do that

00:16:19Just spend time with dad

00:16:21Okay?

00:16:22I'll come by and get you

00:16:25Great

00:16:26Oh, and Richard

00:16:29Don't tell dad about the, uh

00:16:30The thing with mom

00:16:31What thing?

00:16:32The death thing

00:16:33That she's dead

00:16:34He doesn't know

00:16:35He doesn't?

00:16:37Won't he sort of figure that out

00:16:38When he sees her in the coffin?

00:16:40Just don't

00:16:40Okay?

00:16:41It'll upset him

00:16:42He won't know how to process it

00:16:43And this is a longer conversation

00:16:45Just

00:16:45He'll love seeing you

00:16:46Okay?

00:16:46Just

00:16:47Enjoy each other

00:16:48Okay

00:16:49I'll see you later

00:17:00Dad?

00:17:05Miranda?

00:17:10Miranda?

00:17:15Dad?

00:17:25John, you sound like a woman

00:17:29Speak from the diaphragm

00:17:31It's Richard

00:17:34My son

00:17:36My star

00:17:37Come on up

00:17:39Wait, I'll push him around

00:17:40I don't want to frighten you

00:17:44Dad?

00:17:45You're home

00:17:54I'm a mess

00:17:56I didn't know you were coming

00:17:58I wanted to surprise you

00:18:00You have been working very hard

00:18:03Oh yes, oh yes

00:18:04Look at this gentleman here

00:18:07Who is he?

00:18:08No, I know it's hard without the hair

00:18:11It's uh

00:18:12You did his earnest at MFT

00:18:15Oh Christ

00:18:17Oscar Wilde

00:18:19You see that?

00:18:21Yeah

00:18:22Dad, I'm sorry

00:18:23I've been away so long

00:18:24Well, you're here now

00:18:25Sit

00:18:31You were only 23 years old

00:18:33When you did it

00:18:35Ernest, I mean

00:18:35That was the same year

00:18:37As we did much ado

00:18:39So

00:18:40Have you two tied the knot yet?

00:18:43We two

00:18:43You and Kristen

00:18:44Uh, Kristen is married to John

00:18:48But how does that work

00:18:50With both of you in New York?

00:18:52She's here

00:18:53I'm in New York

00:18:54Huh

00:18:56This

00:18:57Happyoka pudding

00:18:58So tell us

00:19:00How are things on the Great White Way?

00:19:03Oh, they're great

00:19:04In fact, I just opened there

00:19:06In uh

00:19:07King Lear

00:19:08Lear?

00:19:09Did you hear that, Bill?

00:19:13Why should a dog

00:19:14A horse, a rat

00:19:16Have life

00:19:17And thou no breath at all

00:19:19Thou shalt come

00:19:21No more

00:19:22Never

00:19:23Never

00:19:25Never

00:19:26Never

00:19:27Never

00:19:28How were the reviews?

00:19:31They were

00:19:31All raids

00:19:33Rays

00:19:33Do you remember our Lear?

00:19:36You

00:19:37Edmund

00:19:38John as Edgar

00:19:39You boys were terrific

00:19:41And Ethel

00:19:42As regularly

00:19:43She was terrifying

00:19:45I built a theater

00:19:47Best in the country

00:19:50But this

00:19:51Is what I'm most proud of

00:19:53My eldest

00:19:54My artist

00:19:56And if I play my cards right

00:19:59I'll talk him into doing another play here

00:20:01With me soon

00:20:02The two of us

00:20:03Together again

00:20:05You think about that

00:20:06I will, I will

00:20:08There's something that I want to say

00:20:10And I don't want you

00:20:14To respond to it

00:20:15I just want you to sit there

00:20:16And listen to me

00:20:17Sure

00:20:19Boy, this is

00:20:21This is harder than I thought it would be

00:20:23And I don't know why

00:20:26Here goes

00:20:30I'm gay

00:20:32Oh

00:20:32I'm a gay man

00:20:34I was always a gay man

00:20:36But I just never allowed myself to be one

00:20:39But now

00:20:41In the twilight of my years

00:20:43I'm motivated to tie up loose ends

00:20:45Now

00:20:46I want you to understand

00:20:48That this is not the dementia talking

00:20:51Okay

00:20:53I'm gay

00:20:54I'm a gay man

00:20:55I've always been a gay man

00:20:57But

00:20:58Now

00:20:59In my twilight years

00:21:02I

00:21:04Didn't I say that already?

00:21:06You did, Dad

00:21:07Yeah

00:21:08That's the dementia

00:21:10Well

00:21:11I think that's wonderful, Dad

00:21:12I'm so happy for you

00:21:13I knew you would understand

00:21:16Have you told John yet?

00:21:18Oh, hell no

00:21:18I can't tell him anything

00:21:19He worries

00:21:21He thinks I'm losing my mind

00:21:24Oh

00:21:25There's one more thing

00:21:26You must promise me something, Richard

00:21:28You must promise me

00:21:29I

00:21:29What?

00:21:31You won't tell your mother

00:21:35I won't

00:21:46Uncle Richard?

00:21:51Oh

00:21:51Miranda

00:21:52Oh my god

00:21:53Oh

00:21:54You're all grown up

00:21:57Don't cry

00:21:57No, no, no, no

00:21:59Please, if you start crying

00:22:00I'll start crying

00:22:01No, no

00:22:02I just miss her

00:22:03Well, we all do

00:22:04Yes, I know

00:22:05God, I'm so glad you're here

00:22:08Are you okay?

00:22:09Oh, no

00:22:10She had a good life

00:22:11No, I meant with the review

00:22:13And the whole thing with the critic

00:22:16Oh, that

00:22:17Yes, well

00:22:19You know, I'm kind of surprised

00:22:20It actually didn't happen

00:22:21After the Beckett

00:22:21I actually managed to repress that one

00:22:24Yeah, thanks for reminding me

00:22:25How do you know about all that?

00:22:28Mom forwards me all your reviews

00:22:29Really?

00:22:30What's that about?

00:22:31She's trying to discourage me, I think

00:22:33From what?

00:22:34Being happy, I guess

00:22:37I never had more fun

00:22:39Than when I went to visit you in New York

00:22:40Nana would take me to see your shows

00:22:42You came a lot, yes, didn't you?

00:22:44Wait a minute

00:22:44You were a child

00:22:45What were you, eight

00:22:46When you came to see Virginia Woolf?

00:22:48I was so scared

00:22:49But I loved it

00:22:49I loved all of it

00:22:51All the actors

00:22:52And shows

00:22:53And the parties

00:22:54It was magic

00:22:56How many funny shows

00:22:56Did you actually see?

00:22:58A lot

00:22:58Really?

00:22:59Yeah, because that was the one place

00:23:01She saw you

00:23:02She had to die for you to come back

00:23:05Don't say that

00:23:08That's not true

00:23:13It is true

00:23:14I'm an asshole

00:23:17Only sometimes

00:23:18Oh, yeah

00:23:21Anyway, I think I want to live in New York

00:23:24Oh?

00:23:26I remember you said

00:23:27If I want to be an actress

00:23:28I should be there

00:23:28And I can help you

00:23:30Really?

00:23:31There are calls I can make

00:23:33Strings I can pull

00:23:34Maybe not as many strings as before

00:23:37I saw the video

00:23:40Behold, I have a weapon

00:23:43Maybe

00:23:44But still

00:23:45Don't rush to New York

00:23:46You've got a perfect opportunity

00:23:48Right here in Millersburg

00:23:49You've got a theater

00:23:50In your backyard

00:23:51It's where I learned

00:23:52Everything I know about acting

00:23:53At the Millersburg Festival Theater

00:23:55It was the perfect place

00:23:57To start a career

00:23:58When I played Hamlet

00:23:59The acoustics and such

00:24:01Whatever it is

00:24:02It's magical

00:24:02Because it was a

00:24:05It was a communal

00:24:07Experience

00:24:08You know what I mean?

00:24:10Have you been to the theater?

00:24:12About yet

00:24:13You should go

00:24:18No, baby

00:24:20No, baby

00:25:10You won't have a care

00:25:12When the doorbell rings and the matzah man is there

00:25:16It's no wonder he gets so many calls

00:25:20No one can resist my matzah balls

00:25:24He's the matzah matzah matzah man

00:25:28He's on love with the matzah man

00:25:31Matzah matzah matzah man

00:25:35He's on love with the matzah man

00:25:39It was a nightmare

00:25:41People were yelling for gravy and potatoes

00:25:44And more brussels sprouts and peas

00:25:46And they thought I was a waiter

00:25:47I've never even played a waiter

00:25:49Not staying for your mother's funeral

00:25:50Because of a matinee of nonsense is overreacting

00:25:53No, I'm not overreacting

00:25:54Everything I loved is gone, you see

00:25:57You just have to get through this

00:25:59Do I? I don't think I do

00:26:00I think you have to get me out of here

00:26:01And get me back on stage

00:26:03I don't care how you do it

00:26:04We've been over this

00:26:05You are still a meme

00:26:07Listen, I'm asking how he has a friend, okay?

00:26:10A what?

00:26:11A friend, you're my friend

00:26:13All your friends get ten percent?

00:26:15Look, I won't stay here

00:26:16Just find me a path out of here

00:26:21I'll call you back

00:26:24What are you doing here?

00:26:26Dinner

00:26:27Remember?

00:26:28We need to sit down

00:26:29Hey, we need to sit down

00:26:31Have a nice meal

00:26:33Drink some wine

00:26:34And talk about this

00:26:35Like adults

00:26:48Dinner theater

00:26:50Do not start

00:26:51I'm not starting

00:26:54The Millersburg Festival Theater

00:26:55Used to be a destination

00:26:56You know absolutely nothing

00:26:58Our parents acted on that stage

00:27:00Dad should be there now

00:27:01Doing Lear

00:27:02Doing it?

00:27:02He's living it

00:27:03No, he's not

00:27:04He's

00:27:04Okay

00:27:05He's compromised in some ways

00:27:07But he knows who he is

00:27:09He confided in me

00:27:10Something that

00:27:11Well, that I confided in

00:27:13So I can't cherish

00:27:14He's gay

00:27:16You know

00:27:17Everybody knows

00:27:18He came out the first time

00:27:19About a month ago

00:27:20Now he comes out every day

00:27:21And then he forgets he did

00:27:23And he comes out again

00:27:24It's sad

00:27:25And happy

00:27:26It's weird

00:27:27Well, I wish somebody had told me

00:27:28That our dad was in a

00:27:29Coming out loop

00:27:31Jesus, I mean

00:27:33You could have called

00:27:34I would have come and

00:27:34And done what?

00:27:35Beat him up?

00:27:36Oh, honey, don't say that

00:27:37Seriously, that's not cool

00:27:38Sweetheart, don't you have something to do?

00:27:39I want to see who wins

00:27:40He was doing Willie Loman for me

00:27:41He did Out Out Brief Candle

00:27:43He made me cry

00:27:44It reminded me of how great we were

00:27:47In our dinner theater

00:27:49You are such a pompous ass

00:27:53If you'd climb down from your ivory tower

00:27:55For five minutes

00:27:56Maybe you see what's going on

00:27:58In this country

00:27:59Do you have any idea

00:28:01How hard it is just to live?

00:28:03We had to close down for 15 months

00:28:04Our subscriber base is gone

00:28:06Miranda, why don't you take some duck

00:28:07Up to your room, okay?

00:28:09Can I have some wine?

00:28:10No, no, you cannot

00:28:11You cannot have any wine

00:28:12You know, we can't afford

00:28:14To produce anything on our own

00:28:16So, yes, we are bringing in

00:28:18Pre-packaged touring musicals

00:28:20Because we're just trying to make sure

00:28:21This theater survives

00:28:22We are serving food

00:28:24We are serving alcohol

00:28:25And let me tell you something

00:28:27Forever planned

00:28:28And nonsense

00:28:29Saved our ass

00:28:32You're gouging out the soul of this town

00:28:34You do know that

00:28:35What does the mayor have to say about this?

00:28:37She's the mayor

00:28:38I'm the mayor

00:28:38You're the mayor?

00:28:40Yep, I'm the mayor

00:28:41Deal with it

00:28:42Dark and stormies

00:28:43I thought it was appropriate

00:28:44It's usually ginger beer and rum

00:28:45But I've added a little

00:28:46That one

00:28:46Just give it to me

00:28:47Make it more of an event

00:28:48You've changed

00:28:49Kristen, you have fundamentally

00:28:52Changed as a human being

00:28:53Oh, no, no, no

00:28:54You don't get to tell me who I am

00:28:55I'm not telling you who you are

00:28:56I'm telling you who you were

00:28:58You had very high ideals

00:29:00You were an artist

00:29:01You built a theater company

00:29:03With your bare hands

00:29:04In New York

00:29:05No, we

00:29:05Nothing

00:29:06We built a theater company

00:29:08You just stopped showing up

00:29:10You still blame me

00:29:11Because my career took off

00:29:12And yours didn't

00:29:13Maybe that's because

00:29:13I was too busy taking care of you

00:29:15Or maybe it was

00:29:17Something

00:29:19Else

00:29:20No

00:29:22No, I'm not gonna

00:29:23What?

00:29:24Say it

00:29:25Do I need to say it?

00:29:26Yes, you do

00:29:27Absolutely not

00:29:28Do not say it

00:29:29Do not say it

00:29:29Say it

00:29:30Do not say it

00:29:31I will say it

00:29:32Please

00:29:33You weren't as good as I was

00:29:35You are such a dick

00:29:37Well, at the time you weren't

00:29:38You want to know why?

00:29:40I wasn't able to go to auditions

00:29:41Because the entire time I was there

00:29:43I was looking after you

00:29:44Come on, please

00:29:45Please

00:29:49You used the front door, you know

00:29:51Yeah, you always used to say

00:29:52That I was super romantic and stuff

00:29:54Hi

00:29:57Whoa, what is up with the yelling?

00:29:59My mom and uncle are having an epic shit fight

00:30:01I used to date like 20 years ago

00:30:04Your mom dated your uncle?

00:30:06Mm-hmm

00:30:06Oh, there's duck on the bed if you want some

00:30:09Thanks

00:30:13Oh my god

00:30:15So I finished our Miranda demo

00:30:16Really?

00:30:17Mm-hmm

00:30:18And?

00:30:19It's a total banger

00:30:20When you slay the fucking kingdom bit

00:30:23Don't say slay

00:30:33That's your voice

00:30:34Jesus, smoke out the window

00:30:37Sorry

00:30:38You do sound pretty good

00:30:43So I can get us gigs

00:30:44When you're at Penn

00:30:45And I got a lead on an apartment

00:30:47In Brewery Town

00:30:48It's $850 a month

00:30:50Which is sick

00:30:51Could we chill for like five seconds?

00:30:53Yeah

00:30:54Does that know what we're doing?

00:30:55Yeah, it's just you're

00:30:55I'm not accepted at Penn

00:30:57I'm waitlisted at Penn

00:30:58And you're talking about apartments

00:30:58It's stressing me out

00:30:59Penn

00:31:01Will be crazy to not take you

00:31:04I mean you're the smartest

00:31:05Most talented

00:31:05Most wonderful person

00:31:06I've ever met

00:31:07Thanks

00:31:10Why am I even trying to go there?

00:31:13It's a great school

00:31:15I know

00:31:16That's what my mom says

00:31:17But

00:31:20I don't know

00:31:23My Nana's gone

00:31:26Might be moving away

00:31:32Everything just happens so fast

00:31:41Why?

00:31:44You're so hot

00:31:48You called her a bad actress again

00:31:50Why do you do that?

00:31:53She gets all self-righteous, you know

00:31:55And just

00:31:58Writes off my whole life

00:32:00She gets in my head

00:32:02To this day

00:32:03When I'm trying to make a decision

00:32:04About something

00:32:05I hear her voice

00:32:06Judging me

00:32:07You know

00:32:08Sometimes

00:32:10When you talk about Kristen

00:32:12It's like you think

00:32:13You're married to her

00:32:14I just want to remind you

00:32:16She's actually my wife

00:32:18I know

00:32:18Yeah

00:32:19I know

00:32:20And she was a terrific actress

00:32:21In New York

00:32:22She just didn't want to be there

00:32:25Not with me

00:32:29Mom's dead

00:32:31She was always there

00:32:34And now

00:32:37She's not

00:32:39To Mom

00:32:41To Mom

00:32:48I want you to know

00:32:50I've decided to stay

00:32:51For the funeral

00:32:54You know

00:32:54Attending your mother's funeral

00:32:55Is not a noble thing

00:32:57You

00:32:58You make it sound

00:33:00Noble

00:33:00It's my voice

00:33:03I'm going to pay for the whole thing

00:33:04Every penny

00:33:05Yes, you will

00:33:07I want to have it at the theater

00:33:09The funeral?

00:33:10Yes

00:33:10I want Mom on stage

00:33:11One last time

00:33:12In a coffin

00:33:13Of course

00:33:14Obviously

00:33:17Invite the town

00:33:19The theater will live

00:33:21Again

00:33:23If only briefly

00:33:25Then

00:33:25I'll be gone

00:33:28It'll be my swan song

00:33:32Isn't it Mom's

00:33:33Swan song?

00:33:34Yes

00:33:34Hers too

00:33:38There's a restaurant

00:33:41Mom's dead

00:33:43I don't know

00:33:44If we can actually do that

00:33:46Put a dead body

00:33:47In a restaurant

00:33:48We're

00:33:49We're going to need

00:33:49To get a permit

00:33:50I think you'll be able

00:33:51To make that happen

00:33:52You know

00:33:53The mayor

00:33:58It's a shitty apartment building

00:34:00Where a lot of

00:34:00Very lovely people live

00:34:02And it's on a lot

00:34:03That is not zoned commercial

00:34:04So

00:34:04Rezone it

00:34:06Best Buy needs

00:34:075,000 square feet

00:34:08And I can't get that

00:34:08Within the mall footprint

00:34:10I'm sorry

00:34:11But I can't keep

00:34:12Going back

00:34:12To planning and zoning

00:34:13For you

00:34:14People are not liking it

00:34:15Best Buy

00:34:16Best Buy

00:34:17I mean

00:34:17I'm bringing you

00:34:18A Best Buy

00:34:19Tied up with a bow

00:34:20I mean

00:34:20Look at me

00:34:21Expand on your tax base

00:34:23It's a gift

00:34:24And I do not mean

00:34:26To sound ungrateful

00:34:28But

00:34:28There are a lot of people

00:34:29In this town

00:34:30Who

00:34:31We're beginning to think

00:34:32That you're the

00:34:32The devil

00:34:33Yeah

00:34:34Yeah because the devil

00:34:35Comes to town

00:34:36In the dark of night

00:34:37And replaces a vape shop

00:34:38Flowers by Barbara

00:34:40And a shitty residential

00:34:42Building with a Best Buy

00:34:43It's the worst

00:34:45Stephen King novel

00:34:46I can imagine

00:34:46Flowers by Beverly

00:34:49Her name's Beverly

00:34:50And I'm really sorry

00:34:51For Beverly

00:34:52But I didn't kill her business

00:34:53COVID did

00:34:56Look

00:34:57Conversations like this

00:34:58Are happening all over

00:34:59This country

00:35:00And they're not easy

00:35:01But you know

00:35:02You can either

00:35:03Cry for the florist

00:35:05Or the vape shop

00:35:06Or

00:35:09You take my money

00:35:10And you take it

00:35:12And you rebuild

00:35:13This town

00:35:15Or don't

00:35:16You know

00:35:17Just

00:35:18Hold a candlelight vigil

00:35:19For the whole

00:35:20Friggin thing

00:35:21If I

00:35:23Go to P&Z for you

00:35:24Then I need to be able

00:35:25To tell them

00:35:25That you've committed

00:35:26To building some

00:35:27Low rent residential

00:35:28At least 12 units

00:35:30And in a better location

00:35:31Why not?

00:35:31And

00:35:33A $250,000 donation

00:35:35To the daycare centre

00:35:36At the Y

00:35:36Done

00:35:43Oh

00:35:44Look at all

00:35:46They

00:35:47You do cost me some money

00:35:50But we're doing it

00:35:51We're doing business

00:35:54How's the theatre?

00:35:56It's fine

00:35:57Fine

00:35:57But it's a lot

00:35:58Right now

00:35:59I don't know

00:36:00If you know

00:36:02My mother-in-law

00:36:03Just died

00:36:05Do you need help?

00:36:07Because

00:36:08You know

00:36:08If you help me

00:36:09With the taxes

00:36:09On 217

00:36:10Roll them all in

00:36:11You need to go now

00:36:12Should I

00:36:13Cross the line?

00:36:16Hey

00:36:16Listen you

00:36:17We're doing good work here

00:36:18You should be proud

00:36:20Oh

00:36:21And if I am the devil

00:36:22Then maybe the devil

00:36:23Is what Millersburg needs

00:36:32Hey Dad

00:36:33Look at this

00:36:35If John let your cape

00:36:37Touch the floor

00:36:37Even for a moment

00:36:38You'd chase him around

00:36:40The room

00:36:40And beat him

00:36:41With your stick

00:36:41Oh yeah

00:36:42I remember that

00:36:44Two funny boys

00:36:45Yeah

00:36:46Your mother and I

00:36:47Had a great laugh

00:36:48About that this morning

00:36:49Did you?

00:36:50That's good

00:36:51Um

00:36:53Speaking of mom

00:36:53Um

00:36:53We

00:36:54We're doing a

00:36:56A thing

00:36:57For mom

00:36:58Tomorrow

00:36:59At the theater

00:37:01A show?

00:37:02It's a

00:37:02It's a kind of show

00:37:03Um

00:37:05It's a

00:37:06It's a

00:37:08It's just

00:37:08It's a thing

00:37:08For mom

00:37:10A celebration

00:37:11Whoa

00:37:11Are you in it?

00:37:12Yeah

00:37:13I have a part

00:37:14But it's

00:37:15It's more of an ensemble

00:37:16Kind of thing

00:37:17Mom

00:37:17In fact

00:37:18Is

00:37:19The star

00:37:20Do you understand?

00:37:23I understand

00:37:24But my sweet boy

00:37:25It's not possible

00:37:28It breaks my heart

00:37:29To say this

00:37:30But

00:37:32She gave up

00:37:33Her equity card

00:37:34Years ago

00:37:36I suppose

00:37:37If it's a one-off thing

00:37:39The union

00:37:40Would reinstate her

00:37:41Let me look into it

00:37:44Mind you

00:37:44If

00:37:45If it's a comedy

00:37:46Maybe I could take her place

00:37:48Remember my lady

00:37:50Brecknell?

00:37:51I had her rolling

00:37:52In the aisles

00:37:53It's more of a drama

00:37:54Dan

00:37:54Um

00:37:57I'll call the equity people

00:37:58I'll let you know

00:37:59What they say

00:37:59Okay?

00:38:00Okay

00:38:00I'll see you later

00:38:08I hope it's not

00:38:10Inappropriate for me to say

00:38:11But

00:38:11I'm a big fan of your work

00:38:13Oh

00:38:14No

00:38:14Never inappropriate

00:38:15I followed your career

00:38:17We actually worked together

00:38:18Once

00:38:19Many years ago

00:38:20Of course we did

00:38:21Yes

00:38:23Yes

00:38:24We did play together

00:38:25You were

00:38:25Oh

00:38:26I remember

00:38:27I know

00:38:27I was somewhere

00:38:28With you

00:38:28It was at the MFT

00:38:29It was at the MFT

00:38:30Yes

00:38:30What

00:38:31Midsummer Nice Dream

00:38:32Yes

00:38:32Of course

00:38:33You were

00:38:34You were Demetrius

00:38:36I was Demetrius

00:38:38You were Lysander

00:38:39Kenny did the glitter makeup

00:38:40For the fairies

00:38:42Oh

00:38:43That's when the bug bit me

00:38:44Uh-huh

00:38:45I still do

00:38:46All my clients myself

00:38:48Oh

00:38:48No more glitter though

00:38:49You know

00:38:50No

00:38:51That's good

00:38:52I mean it is an art

00:38:53I mean

00:38:54Simulating the glow of tissue

00:38:56Flushed with blood

00:38:57And concealing scars

00:38:59And sutures

00:38:59So your loved one

00:39:00Doesn't you know

00:39:01Look like a mannequin

00:39:02Yeah

00:39:03But

00:39:05The best moment

00:39:06That I've ever had

00:39:08In the theater

00:39:08Is the two of you

00:39:10Doing Our Town

00:39:12Falling in love

00:39:12In the soda shop

00:39:15You were so good together

00:39:18So real

00:39:20Thank you

00:39:21Now

00:39:21Shall we say hello

00:39:23To your mother

00:39:23Yes

00:39:25She's not finished

00:39:27But I think you'll be pleased

00:39:30Excuse me

00:39:30Kenny

00:39:31Kenny

00:39:31When you say

00:39:32Not finished

00:39:34In what way

00:39:35Not finished

00:39:36Don't worry

00:39:37She just looks like

00:39:38She's asleep

00:39:39Like she could

00:39:40Pop awake at any moment

00:39:42No

00:39:42Could you

00:39:44Could you just give me a moment

00:39:46Certainly

00:39:51Wait

00:39:52John

00:40:00John's not very good

00:40:01With death

00:40:01I know

00:40:02I know

00:40:03Yeah

00:40:04So I want to apologize

00:40:05For what I said

00:40:06At dinner

00:40:07Last night

00:40:07About my lack of talent

00:40:10I was just

00:40:12Kenny's right

00:40:12You were good

00:40:14In our town

00:40:15You were good

00:40:15In everything

00:40:16I was good

00:40:17Yeah

00:40:19Thank you

00:40:22That was a long time ago

00:40:32Richard

00:40:33What is it?

00:40:37I'm sorry

00:40:38About Ethel

00:40:41I really loved her

00:40:42I know you did

00:40:44She was like

00:40:45My mother too

00:40:51She wore this

00:40:52To your opening

00:40:52Of Long Day's Journey

00:40:53Oh

00:40:54It's beautiful

00:40:57We're going to put it on her

00:40:58No one's even going to see it

00:40:59Right?

00:41:00Hmm

00:41:01Yeah

00:41:03Everything just feels

00:41:04So ridiculous

00:41:05And pointless

00:41:07What do you mean

00:41:08What do you mean by everything?

00:41:09Everything

00:41:11They give birth

00:41:12A stride of a grave

00:41:13You're too young

00:41:14To quote Beckett

00:41:16You've got your whole life

00:41:17Ahead of you

00:41:18What am I going to do with it?

00:41:19You're going to be an actor

00:41:21Mom wants me to go to Penn

00:41:23What do you want?

00:41:25I want to act

00:41:27But I don't even know

00:41:28If I'm any good at it

00:41:30Of course you're good

00:41:31You're my niece

00:41:32But maybe I only want to do it

00:41:34To piss mom off

00:41:35Because she doesn't want me to do it

00:41:36I don't know

00:41:37I have anxiety all the time

00:41:39And everything is just fucked up

00:41:42Democracy is dying

00:41:43People hate each other

00:41:44The world is just falling apart

00:41:46It's different than when you guys were young

00:41:47We had the Cold War

00:41:48We had the bomb

00:41:49We had race riots

00:41:50We had Richard Nixon

00:41:52We had the Vietnam War

00:41:54Did Papa or Nana ever tell you

00:41:57About the rock musical

00:41:58That they put on at MFT?

00:42:00No

00:42:00Viet Rock it was called

00:42:02Very controversial

00:42:03They were picketing us

00:42:05And I had this song

00:42:06Men Die Young

00:42:07Was the name of the song

00:42:09Don't put all your eggs

00:42:11In one basket

00:42:13Baskets wear out

00:42:14And men die young

00:42:16One night I was singing it

00:42:18And I came face to face

00:42:20With this woman that I knew

00:42:21Whose son had just

00:42:22Gotten his orders for Vietnam

00:42:24Just two weeks before

00:42:25And I'm singing this

00:42:27Right in her face

00:42:28What did she do?

00:42:29She threw her arms around me

00:42:30And hugged me tight

00:42:33I just kept singing

00:42:36What can I do?

00:42:40Every night after the play

00:42:41The audience and the actors

00:42:42Would gather together

00:42:44And talk

00:42:46Anyway, we had our

00:42:50Troubles

00:42:52Yeah

00:42:52We felt

00:42:54Disenfranchised

00:42:56Angry as hell

00:42:58But

00:42:59We had a place

00:43:00Where we could

00:43:01Commiserate

00:43:02And commune

00:43:05Now that place

00:43:06Is a dinner theater

00:43:06Uh

00:43:07Yeah

00:43:08But

00:43:09It's still a theater

00:43:11So there's hope

00:43:14Oh yeah

00:43:16Perfect

00:43:20Good

00:43:20Now the other one

00:43:21Has to come in about

00:43:22Three inches

00:43:24Towards

00:43:24How's it going?

00:43:25Oh

00:43:25Great

00:43:26Yo, I'm glad you're here

00:43:27You can help me with the music cues

00:43:29I'm gonna have underscoring

00:43:30You know

00:43:30Between

00:43:31That's transitional

00:43:32Why are you there?

00:43:37That's me and Hamlet

00:43:38That was Mom's favorite

00:43:39You can't do that

00:43:40Why not?

00:43:42Because it's not your funeral

00:43:43I'm shocked

00:43:45I have to remind you of that

00:43:46I know it's not my funeral

00:43:47But Mom

00:43:49Loved

00:43:50That performance

00:43:51It was

00:43:51Her

00:43:51Favorite

00:43:52And the town

00:43:53Will recognize it

00:43:54Ties in the whole

00:43:55Theater

00:43:56Mom

00:45:55Don't have to

00:45:55Cough and descend

00:45:57Just have it on the stage

00:45:59At the beginning

00:46:02Nope, nope

00:46:03It's gotta have an entrance

00:46:04Sorry, sorry

00:46:04This is the theater

00:46:06The mom built

00:46:06With dad

00:46:07And it's her last entrance

00:46:08And it's gotta be

00:46:09A big entrance

00:46:10Okay

00:46:10Q3

00:46:37Go, go, go

00:46:41I don't know what I was thinking

00:46:43I'm sorry

00:46:43I just am sacrificing

00:46:45Everything for some cheap spectacle

00:46:47I'm not trusting the material

00:46:49It's a funeral

00:46:51Everybody loved mom

00:46:52They're gonna be sad

00:46:53Yeah

00:46:53Yeah, I just want it to be perfect

00:46:55That's all

00:46:56I know you do

00:46:58I know you do

00:46:59It's gonna be great

00:47:00Yeah

00:47:01Hey, just the fact that it's here

00:47:04In our theater

00:47:05Of course, I know

00:47:06You're right

00:47:07It's your gift to her

00:47:08Yeah

00:47:09Thanks, Don

00:47:09You're right

00:47:10Um

00:47:12Let's lose the fog machine, random

00:47:14That's a mistake

00:47:26Thanks for coming

00:47:31You have the house

00:47:34House up

00:47:44Richard

00:47:47Here I am

00:47:48How you doing, Dad?

00:47:49Fine, fine

00:47:50John's taking good care of me

00:47:52Good

00:47:52Your mother is so looking forward to this

00:47:58We're good

00:48:00Would you help, Granddad?

00:48:05Hi, sweetie

00:48:06Hi, sweetie

00:48:19Hi, everyone

00:48:23It means so much looking out and seeing you all here

00:48:28And I want to thank you

00:48:29For coming here today

00:48:31To help us celebrate the life of my mother

00:48:34Ethel B

00:48:38A wife

00:48:40An actress

00:48:42And a friend

00:48:43A friend to all of you

00:48:49I'm sorry

00:48:51I'm sorry

00:48:54I'm sorry

00:48:54You okay?

00:48:55Yeah

00:48:59Where were you?

00:49:02Friend to all

00:49:03And Grandam of this

00:49:05Our

00:49:06Our family's theater

00:49:08As some of you know

00:49:09She was born in Dayton

00:49:11And she worked her way through nursing school

00:49:13As an upholsterer's assistant

00:49:15But the truth is

00:49:16Life for Ethel Harper Bean

00:49:18Really didn't begin

00:49:20Until she played Laura

00:49:21In the Glass Menagerie

00:49:23Right here

00:49:24On this stage

00:49:27With Linus there

00:49:29As her gentleman caller

00:49:33I'm good

00:49:34I think I've got it

00:49:37You know, my mother

00:49:40Always dreamed

00:49:40Of being an actress

00:49:43But it took her a while

00:49:44To find a home

00:49:46This place

00:49:47This place was her home

00:49:49The Millersburg Festival Theater

00:49:51And it's her life

00:49:52In this place

00:49:54That she would want us

00:49:55To celebrate

00:49:57Now we have a video for you

00:49:58It was put together by Miranda

00:50:00And Randall

00:50:01So, please

00:50:27Horace Bandeguilder

00:50:28Never tired of saying

00:50:30Most people

00:50:31People in the world

00:50:33We're fools

00:50:35And in a way

00:50:36I think he's right

00:50:37Isn't he?

00:50:40But there comes a moment

00:50:41In everybody's life

00:50:43When he must decide

00:50:44Whether to live

00:50:45With human beings or not

00:50:47Be a fool among fools

00:50:49Or a fool alone

00:50:51As for me

00:50:54I've decided

00:50:55To live among them

00:51:06Oh, here

00:51:07Excuse me

00:51:07Is there a funeral

00:51:09Happening in here?

00:51:09Yes, there is

00:51:10Wait

00:51:10What?

00:51:11You are he?

00:51:13What?

00:51:13You're from the movies, Connor

00:51:14This is he

00:51:16He's the one

00:51:17I tell you about

00:51:17Oh my God

00:51:18What's your sign?

00:51:19What's your sign?

00:51:20Just one thing I have

00:51:22I'm so sorry

00:51:22This is totally inappropriate

00:51:23I'm Connor Boyle

00:51:24I'm working with the mayor

00:51:26You're a sister

00:51:28No, I mean

00:51:28You are

00:51:29No, he's Richard Dean

00:51:30You idiot

00:51:31He's huge

00:51:32Oh, you know

00:51:33She's huge

00:51:33Come on, look

00:51:34Would you sign something, please?

00:51:36Of course

00:51:43Put to Nadia

00:51:45Uh, Nad

00:51:47Nadia

00:51:48Nadia

00:51:48With great love and respect

00:51:53And I

00:51:54And don't ever

00:51:56Don't ever give up

00:51:58On dreams

00:51:59I won't

00:51:59And then put

00:52:00Your dreams will

00:52:01Your dreams will come true

00:52:03One day

00:52:03Your dreams?

00:52:04I hope so

00:52:05I promise

00:52:08Love always

00:52:09Love always

00:52:09I carry you in my heart

00:52:12I've run out of room

00:52:13And then you just put

00:52:13Just put your name

00:52:14Yeah, just great

00:52:15Really appreciate it

00:52:16Thank you very much

00:52:16You don't know

00:52:17How much this means to me

00:52:19You don't know how

00:52:20The theatre

00:52:20It feeds me

00:52:22I hope they haven't

00:52:22Buried her yet

00:52:24When you walk

00:52:26Through a storm

00:52:29Hold your head

00:52:31Up high

00:52:33And don't

00:52:34Be afraid

00:52:35In the shade of the dark

00:52:36At the end of the storm

00:52:40There's a golden sky

00:52:44And the sweet silver song

00:52:48Of a lark

00:52:50Walk on through the wind

00:52:55Walk on through the rain

00:53:00Though your dreams

00:53:02Be tossed

00:53:04And blown

00:53:06Hello

00:53:06It's your paid friend Ali

00:53:09Richard, are you there?

00:53:10Yes, I am

00:53:11Here's the deal

00:53:12They are willing to have you back at Liera

00:53:14But you need to consent

00:53:15To a psychological evaluation

00:53:17And two weeks of anger management training

00:53:19Walk on through the night

00:53:21Yes

00:53:22I'll have to think about it

00:53:23I'll call you back

00:53:25You'll never walk

00:53:31Alone

00:53:37Thank you

00:53:42I have to admit

00:53:43I thought this would be a train wreck

00:53:45I gave him a few notes

00:53:47It's kind of great

00:53:53We are such stuff

00:53:55As dreams

00:53:56Are made on

00:53:57And our little life

00:53:58Is rounded

00:53:59With a sleep

00:54:03Shakespeare's tempest

00:54:05His last play

00:54:07And his farewell

00:54:08To the theatre

00:54:10Fitting words today

00:54:12As we say goodbye

00:54:13To my mother Ethel

00:54:14The founder

00:54:16Of this

00:54:18This theatre

00:54:21It's difficult for me

00:54:22To explain what it was like

00:54:23Growing up in an atmosphere

00:54:24Of creativity

00:54:25And free expression

00:54:27And the impact that it had

00:54:28On me

00:54:29And my brother John

00:54:31On Kristen

00:54:32And Miranda

00:54:35And this town

00:54:37There's Mrs. Wilkie

00:54:38My favourite algebra teacher

00:54:40And a brilliant Marsha

00:54:43In the seagull

00:54:44Howard Fraser

00:54:45Who

00:54:46When the lights went out

00:54:47On our

00:54:47Morning Becomes Electra

00:54:49He ran out to his truck

00:54:50Hooked up our electrical system

00:54:52And in five minutes

00:54:54Presto

00:54:54The lights were back on

00:54:55He knew how important it was

00:54:57To keep the lights on

00:54:58In this theatre

00:54:59At that moment

00:54:59It was the most important thing

00:55:01In his life

00:55:01And it still is

00:55:03Important

00:55:04Because the

00:55:05Millersburg Festival

00:55:06Theatre was not just

00:55:07My mother's home

00:55:08It was

00:55:09And is

00:55:10The soul

00:55:12Of this town

00:55:13Sadly

00:55:15I must report

00:55:16That

00:55:17Because of financial

00:55:19Pressures

00:55:20And

00:55:20Misguided

00:55:22Programming

00:55:22Choices

00:55:23This theatre

00:55:25Is in trouble

00:55:27It might even close

00:55:28That's right

00:55:29But we're not

00:55:31Going to let

00:55:32That happen

00:55:33Are we?

00:55:34No

00:55:37I'm coming home

00:55:39To Millersburg

00:55:40I'm coming home

00:55:42And I swear to you

00:55:44That together

00:55:45I will restore

00:55:48The soul

00:55:50Of this town

00:55:51By producing

00:55:52And directing

00:55:53And maybe starring in

00:55:55The greatest production

00:55:57This country

00:55:57Has ever seen

00:55:58Of a true

00:55:59American classic

00:56:01Thornton Wilder's

00:56:02Is our town

00:56:05My friends

00:56:06Come home

00:56:17This is mom's funeral

00:56:19Right?

00:56:20No

00:56:20Not anymore

00:56:21It's the Richard Bean show

00:56:31John

00:56:32John

00:56:34Listen to me

00:56:35Cover your ears

00:56:35No

00:56:36You have to tell him

00:56:37You have to tell him

00:56:38That if he goes through

00:56:39With this

00:56:39That theatre

00:56:40It closes forever

00:56:43John

00:56:43You don't want coffee?

00:56:44No

00:56:45I am already

00:56:45I am seeing noises

00:56:46You have to talk to him

00:56:48Right?

00:56:49Now

00:56:50This morning

00:56:50Okay

00:56:51It might work better

00:56:51If we do it together

00:56:52I have Boyle

00:56:53In half an hour

00:56:54And then I have

00:56:54The concerned parents

00:56:56Book burning summit

00:56:57And besides

00:56:58I might kill him

00:56:59So you have to do it

00:57:00Okay

00:57:00But just for the sake

00:57:01Of discussion

00:57:02I mean it is

00:57:02Our town

00:57:03Right?

00:57:03There's no sets

00:57:04There's no props

00:57:05It's the mime

00:57:06Right?

00:57:07It's the cheapest show

00:57:08In the world

00:57:08It's the greatest

00:57:09Our town

00:57:11That that's what he said

00:57:12This is going to be

00:57:12Some crazy

00:57:13Richard Bean shit

00:57:15That's going to just

00:57:15Bankrupt all of us

00:57:16Well

00:57:16We don't know that

00:57:17Yes we do

00:57:18Because I know him

00:57:20We do not have the money

00:57:22For original productions

00:57:23Of any kind

00:57:24We don't have any money

00:57:25At all

00:57:26Look you have to talk to him

00:57:27You have to just

00:57:28Get him to go away

00:57:29I made bagels

00:57:30From scratch?

00:57:32Uh huh

00:57:32Take him for lunch

00:57:34I'll talk to him

00:57:35I'll talk to him

00:57:35You know

00:57:37He's probably forgotten

00:57:38About it already

00:57:38You know

00:57:39He gets swept up

00:57:40In the moment

00:57:41I mean

00:57:41Does he ever follow through

00:57:42With anything?

00:57:43I mean

00:57:52What uh

00:57:52What are you doing?

00:57:54Uh

00:57:55I made a great deal

00:57:56On some new theories

00:57:58Seats?

00:57:59221

00:58:01Upholstered

00:58:01Flip up seats

00:58:02From an old movie house

00:58:04In New Jersey

00:58:05And he said

00:58:06If I bought the whole lot

00:58:07I could get them

00:58:08For like

00:58:0895 dollars

00:58:09Per unit

00:58:10Per seat?

00:58:12And free delivery

00:58:13Hold on

00:58:14Wait

00:58:14Hold on

00:58:14That's

00:58:15That's more than

00:58:1620,000 dollars

00:58:17You can't

00:58:17Jesus Christ

00:58:18Richard

00:58:20We gotta talk

00:58:21Listen

00:58:21I made a vow

00:58:22Over our mother's

00:58:24Cold dead body

00:58:25That I would restore

00:58:27This theater

00:58:28To its former glory

00:58:30Yes

00:58:30But this is a working theater

00:58:31We have another week

00:58:32Of nonsense

00:58:33You can't just come in here

00:58:34And tear it all apart

00:58:35I'm not tearing anything apart

00:58:36I'm just

00:58:37Making a plan

00:58:38I'm helping you

00:58:39I'm keeping you comfortable

00:58:40You're not helping me at all

00:58:41Yeah I feel weak

00:58:42Oh you feel weak

00:58:43I know what this is

00:58:44This is your low blood sugar thing

00:58:46Right

00:58:46Yes

00:58:47Low blood sugar

00:58:48Low blood sugar

00:58:49Okay I'm gonna make you a sandwich

00:58:50Thank you

00:58:51Yeah

00:58:51I love you brother

00:58:58Thank you

00:59:03The matinee special

00:59:05That's fantastic

00:59:06I take on a Reuben

00:59:08With a spicy pickle

00:59:09Put in there

00:59:10No but there's something

00:59:11In the bread

00:59:12Juniper berries

00:59:13I fold them in

00:59:14And set up caraway seeds

00:59:17You made the bread

00:59:17Yes I made the bread

00:59:19You could have gone to Subway

00:59:20On Main Street

00:59:21You're not gonna do that

00:59:22No no

00:59:23No you're not

00:59:24And why

00:59:24Because this sandwich

00:59:26Is a sandwich of a certain standard

00:59:28This is the Thornton Wilder

00:59:32Sandwiches

00:59:33People who abide into this sandwich

00:59:35You're never gonna be satisfied with

00:59:36Subway

00:59:37Again

00:59:38You see where I'm going with this

00:59:39Maybe

00:59:40I see in our town

00:59:42It's completely new

00:59:45It'll have a real soda fountain

00:59:48It'll have a horse crossing the stage

00:59:51It'll have rain falling to the sky

00:59:54Like the sky is weeping

00:59:55Sounds very expensive

00:59:57It's my juniper berries

00:59:59See

01:00:00Okay

01:00:00Dad can play the stage manager

01:00:04He can't do it

01:00:05Yes he can

01:00:05He did it for me this morning

01:00:06Richard you haven't been here

01:00:07He can do it

01:00:08You know two weeks ago

01:00:09We found dad walking down

01:00:11Third street in his slippers

01:00:13In one of mom's hats

01:00:14He had no idea where he was

01:00:15Doesn't matter

01:00:16The play is locked in there

01:00:18Trust me

01:00:19It will be all of us

01:00:20As a family

01:00:21Telling great stories

01:00:24Yeah

01:00:25That's what we do

01:00:27And the people who are

01:00:29Lucky enough to be sitting

01:00:30In our new seats

01:00:32They're gonna remember it

01:00:33For a long time

01:00:40I'm so so sorry

01:00:41I'm late

01:00:42I'm dealing with this

01:00:42Small family thing

01:00:44And it's not really small

01:00:45It's suffocatingly large

01:00:48Actually it's enormous

01:00:49But you know

01:00:50I'm getting a rash

01:00:51You wanted to talk

01:00:52About your payment

01:00:54Yes

01:00:56I know we're already behind

01:00:58But we had to cancel

01:01:01Several shows

01:01:02Because of the funeral

01:01:02And there's this famous actor

01:01:04In the family

01:01:04And he has to make everything

01:01:05About a show

01:01:06So it's

01:01:06So you're defaulting

01:01:07On the loan

01:01:07No

01:01:09No, no, no

01:01:10No, no, no, no

01:01:12It's just about this month

01:01:19I'm only pulling your leg

01:01:22I know you're good for it

01:01:23Yeah, forget about this month

01:01:25We'll call it a payment holiday

01:01:27Oh God

01:01:29Thank you

01:01:30Thank you

01:01:31I promise

01:01:32We'll make it up next month

01:01:35Can we keep this between us?

01:01:37Yeah, dead on

01:01:38Oh, and in return

01:01:40Connor

01:01:40I cannot give you a quid pro quo

01:01:43I've told you that

01:01:44I've made it quite clear

01:01:45No, no

01:01:45You're signed

01:01:46It's not about permits

01:01:47It's about dinner

01:01:53What?

01:01:55Yeah, would you mind

01:01:56Inviting Nadia and Mia

01:01:57Over for dinner?

01:02:00That's it?

01:02:01She's obsessed

01:02:02With the actor fella

01:02:03I mean, she said

01:02:04She used to watch him

01:02:05Back in Russia

01:02:06You know, I don't know

01:02:07She said she wants

01:02:07To ask him some questions

01:02:08And, you know,

01:02:09Her heart's all a flutter

01:02:10With this theater shite

01:02:11So a dinner with him

01:02:12Would make her happy

01:02:13I mean, if that's

01:02:14Not a problem

01:02:15No, no

01:02:17Getting Richard Bean

01:02:17To talk about himself

01:02:18Is not a problem

01:02:20Just don't count

01:02:20On an early night

01:02:22What is your obsession

01:02:23With fog?

01:02:25Fog?

01:02:25What do you mean?

01:02:26You wanted it

01:02:26At the funeral, too?

01:02:28No, no

01:02:28This is going to be

01:02:29A heavy fog

01:02:29That will drift off

01:02:31Of the stage

01:02:31Into the audience

01:02:32Nestle at their feet

01:02:33And kind of invite them

01:02:34To be part of the action

01:02:36Okay, but it's a small space

01:02:38You have to be careful, right?

01:02:39You're worried about

01:02:39The CO2, are you?

01:02:41Well, yes

01:02:41It is lethal

01:02:42But that's only if

01:02:44The audience gets down

01:02:45On their hand

01:02:45Knees and tries to huff it

01:02:47Well, hi, boys

01:02:48Hello

01:02:49How's it going?

01:02:50Three quarters full

01:02:51Miranda's doing drinks

01:02:53Hello, Richard

01:02:53How are you?

01:02:56Well, I'm

01:02:58I'm fine

01:02:58Good

01:02:59Well, what have you

01:03:01Beans been up to?

01:03:02Well, Richard has been

01:03:02Walking me through

01:03:03Production design

01:03:05It's ambitious

01:03:06But it's very cool

01:03:07And I was about to

01:03:09Tell him what you'd said

01:03:10What did you say?

01:03:12Well, I was going to say

01:03:14That I know whatever

01:03:15You come up with

01:03:15Will be ambitious

01:03:19But very cool

01:03:21Really?

01:03:22Yeah

01:03:22It's high praise

01:03:23Coming from you

01:03:24I'll take it

01:03:25So, how ambitious?

01:03:27Just out of curiosity

01:03:28You want to know the cost?

01:03:29Well, I based my budget

01:03:32On a typical Broadway budget

01:03:35And

01:03:36Why would you start there?

01:03:38I mean, this

01:03:38That's what I know

01:03:39This is Millersburg

01:03:40No, I know that

01:03:40I know that

01:03:41Yeah?

01:03:41Polly's going to oversee

01:03:42The whole design

01:03:43For free

01:03:44And she told me

01:03:45That if we don't use

01:03:46The union crew

01:03:47For the load-in

01:03:48That's $400,000 right there

01:03:50I beg your pardon?

01:03:51The $400,000 that we save

01:03:53Okay

01:03:53They're all ship-faced

01:03:55We can start

01:03:55Good

01:03:58What's that?

01:03:59Oh, this is

01:04:01My

01:04:01Our tone

01:04:02Just drawings

01:04:04And sketches

01:04:04Just thoughts

01:04:05Sooner

01:04:05I'm so excited

01:04:07You know, I'm casting it

01:04:09With local actors

01:04:10And, uh

01:04:11I think I have something

01:04:12Very nice for you

01:04:15You don't mean

01:04:16I do

01:04:17Seriously?

01:04:19Yeah

01:04:22Okay, okay

01:04:23Enough

01:04:23Back to serving

01:04:24Thank you, I love you

01:04:25Is this a good go?

01:04:26Yes

01:04:26There we go

01:04:27Bye

01:04:29Don't you think

01:04:30She'll make a wonderful Emily?

01:04:31I mean

01:04:32She could be as good as

01:04:33She could be better than you

01:04:34Cut to the chase

01:04:35How much?

01:04:37All in

01:04:38If we pay the actors

01:04:39Equity minimum

01:04:42Ballpark figure

01:04:43It'd be $250,000 a week

01:04:46For our town?

01:04:47That's our operating budget

01:04:49For the entire year

01:04:50I've got some wiggle room

01:04:52I can give up

01:04:52My waterfall

01:04:54I can just get rid of the cornfield

01:04:56It's our town

01:04:57There is no waterfall

01:04:59Or cornfield

01:05:01Okay

01:05:01Up front

01:05:02It's more like

01:05:03$200,000

01:05:04Grand

01:05:05And once we cover the nut

01:05:06Then the production pays for itself

01:05:09Oh, speaking of which

01:05:10I bought

01:05:12212

01:05:13Theater seats

01:05:14And I thought

01:05:15Since they're a permanent addition to the theater

01:05:18That maybe you could expense it

01:05:19For me

01:05:20I didn't get the tax

01:05:21You bought

01:05:21You didn't buy the seats

01:05:22Yes

01:05:23The guy told me I'd be an idiot not to buy them

01:05:26Those were his exact words

01:05:27No, but you didn't buy them

01:05:28Yes, I did

01:05:29I told you I did

01:05:30No, you didn't tell me that

01:05:31You told me you found them online

01:05:32I told you not to buy them

01:05:33I told you to slow down

01:05:34I told you

01:05:35Oh my God

01:05:50Seeds

01:05:50You lie

01:05:51Okay

01:05:51You have to sit somewhere

01:05:52So

01:05:53This is a problem

01:05:54So

01:05:55What a worrier

01:05:56Uh

01:05:57Yeah

01:05:57Why don't you keep this

01:05:58Just in case there's a problem

01:06:00And you might

01:06:01You might have to return them

01:06:02Well, no, no

01:06:03This was a kind of final sale sort of deal

01:06:06Just in case

01:06:07You don't actually think I expect you to

01:06:09Pay for the whole thing yourself, do you?

01:06:12What?

01:06:12I mean, my vision of our town

01:06:15My

01:06:17Rain and horse

01:06:18Rain?

01:06:19Horse?

01:06:20Because, you know, I do have access to angels

01:06:22Super angels

01:06:23Friends

01:06:23That is, in fact

01:06:25Very good to hear

01:06:26Now

01:06:30I

01:06:31I need you

01:06:32To do something for me

01:06:34Come to the house

01:06:35Thursday night

01:06:36I am

01:06:38I'm having a dinner for a developer

01:06:39Who is literally the only person in the world

01:06:42Who is putting money back into this town

01:06:44And

01:06:45And for his wife

01:06:46Or

01:06:47Girlfriend

01:06:48Or

01:06:48God only knows

01:06:50What she is

01:06:51But she

01:06:52Is a big fan

01:06:54Oh

01:06:55Oh, a fan

01:06:56Yeah

01:06:57So

01:06:58You'll come?

01:06:59No

01:06:59I'm kidding

01:07:00Of course I'll come

01:07:03And you'll

01:07:05You'll act normal

01:07:06I'll give it a shot

01:07:08For you

01:07:10For the town

01:07:13Thank you

01:07:14Anything to help

01:07:17I'm going to make a phone call or two

01:07:19Yeah

01:07:20Is Richard Bean calling with a proposal I'd like to make to James Davis?

01:07:26I'd say it's business and pleasure

01:07:29Yeah

01:07:30It's about a show

01:07:33Bean

01:07:33B-E-A-N

01:07:35Like the legume

01:07:37Oh, she's not there

01:07:39Okay

01:07:40Uh

01:07:43If you let me speak to him

01:07:44I think I can plead my case a little more

01:07:47Directly

01:07:48You know what I'm saying?

01:07:49He just went to lunch

01:07:50It's externing

01:07:51What time is it where you are?

01:07:52Tell her it's the Beano

01:07:54Oh, it's her nickname for me, you see?

01:07:56Yeah

01:07:57Oh, she

01:07:57Oh, she did

01:07:58I see

01:08:00Yeah, I wouldn't really call it a rampage

01:08:02I think that's a bit severe

01:08:04Yeah

01:08:04No, my name is Bean

01:08:06Yeah

01:08:07As in has been

01:08:11As a thought experiment

01:08:13What would it take for me to

01:08:16Finance this whole endeavor myself?

01:08:19Uh, a miracle

01:08:21Why?

01:08:22Could you explain?

01:08:23Well, there's a lack of incoming funds

01:08:25But you've still got your expenses

01:08:26Your mortgage

01:08:27Your maintenance fees

01:08:28The alimony

01:08:29Yeah, I get all that

01:08:30What can I put my hands on right now?

01:08:32What's liquid?

01:08:33I mean, I could mortgage the apartment?

01:08:35Couldn't I?

01:08:36Are you familiar with the term upside down?

01:08:39Upside down, of course I am

01:08:40Yeah, but I suspect you're using it

01:08:42In some arcane financial context

01:08:49I can't do it

01:08:50I can't make

01:08:50I can't make the show happen

01:08:52No

01:08:53I've let everyone down

01:08:56Yeah

01:08:59You saw their faces

01:09:01At the funeral

01:09:02They were all aglow

01:09:04Their eyes filled with tears

01:09:05You know, some of those tears were for Mom

01:09:09Well, yeah

01:09:10Even the standing ovation

01:09:12Partially for Mom, I'm sure

01:09:14What?

01:09:15Well, are you going to say something?

01:09:17It was a good idea

01:09:18Maybe this is just not the right time

01:09:20You know, maybe we plan this

01:09:22For some time in the future

01:09:24The distant future

01:09:25When you're back at work

01:09:26There must be some place I can crawl to

01:09:30What are you doing tonight?

01:09:31Well, I'll probably be here

01:09:32Drinking myself into a stupor

01:09:34No

01:09:35We're going to a show

01:09:37Oh, please, John

01:09:38Not tonight

01:09:39I'm not in the mood for nonsense

01:09:41No, it's Monday night

01:09:42No nonsense

01:09:44You're going to love this

01:09:46Trust me

01:09:47Just can I have one more of these?

01:09:49Just to get me through the afternoon

01:09:52As long as it's with you

01:09:56You can take the light away

01:10:02You can turn the sky to grey

01:10:07Give us time to look and find

01:10:12A place where we can't feel alive

01:10:37Even in the cold

01:10:43There's a miracle

01:10:55Thank you

01:10:56That was one of the new ones

01:11:00I'd just like to say

01:11:02I'd just like to say a quick word

01:11:03About my favorite uncle

01:11:05Richard Bean

01:11:06He made a crazy promise

01:11:08Which some of you might have heard about

01:11:10And it inspired all of us

01:11:12And well, it's not a big surprise

01:11:14Because he's been inspiring me

01:11:16For most of my life

01:11:19He's here

01:11:19Sitting there in the back

01:11:22I swear this wasn't planned

01:11:24But maybe we could get him

01:11:25To sing something

01:11:26Oh, he's going all shy

01:11:29No, I couldn't

01:11:30I couldn't

01:11:30No, I haven't prepared anything

01:11:32I'm not in voice

01:11:33He's actually sung on Broadway

01:11:34Come on, you're never here

01:11:52I haven't warmed up

01:11:54I wasn't expecting this

01:11:55You know, I think

01:11:56Brother

01:12:02I am Aidan Chiyote

01:12:04The Lord of La Mancha

01:12:07My destiny calls

01:12:09And I go

01:12:12Onward to glory

01:12:14Oh, come on

01:12:16No, I can't

01:12:17Don't stop

01:12:18You sound brave

01:12:18You're very kind

01:12:20Thank you

01:12:20You're not being kind

01:12:21Come on, please

01:12:22Keep going

01:12:23You sound great

01:12:24To dream

01:12:27The impossible dream

01:12:31To fight

01:12:33The unbeatable foe

01:12:37To bear

01:12:38With unbearable sorrow

01:12:42To run

01:12:44Where the brave dare not go

01:12:48To right

01:12:50The unrightable wrong

01:12:53To love

01:12:55You run

01:12:56And chase

01:12:56From afar

01:12:57To try

01:12:59When your arms

01:13:01Are too weary

01:13:02To reach

01:13:04The unreachable star

01:13:07Sing it, brother!

01:13:08This is my quest

01:13:10This is my quest

01:13:11To follow that star

01:13:13To follow that star

01:13:14No matter how hopeless

01:13:17No matter how far

01:13:21And I know

01:13:22If I'll only be true

01:13:25To this glorious quest

01:13:30That my heart

01:13:33Will lie peaceful

01:13:35And calm

01:13:37When I'm laid to my rest

01:13:41And the world

01:13:44Will be better for this

01:13:47That one man

01:13:50Born and covered

01:13:52With scars

01:13:54Still strove

01:13:57With his last ounce

01:13:59Of courage

01:14:01To reach

01:14:08The unreachable star

01:14:22You have got to stay!

01:14:25I'm going to record

01:14:25I'll stay

01:14:26You man

01:14:31I wasn't sure

01:14:32About this

01:14:33Our town thing

01:14:34But last night

01:14:35Miranda

01:14:36Was so happy

01:14:38Seeing those kids

01:14:39They were excited

01:14:41I haven't seen

01:14:43So much happiness

01:14:44In years

01:14:45As the fat faces

01:14:46All aglow

01:14:47None of these kids

01:14:48Were fat

01:14:48What does this fat thing

01:14:49I don't know

01:14:51It's just how

01:14:51I picture them

01:14:52The beauty

01:14:53Is that by investing

01:14:54In the show

01:14:55We increase the value

01:14:56Of the property

01:14:57So you see

01:14:58Jeff

01:14:59The loan

01:15:00Pays for itself

01:15:02It's just not possible

01:15:03The MFT sits

01:15:04On two and a half acres

01:15:05Of the most beautiful land

01:15:07In Millersburg

01:15:07It has to be worth

01:15:08A fortune

01:15:09It's not about

01:15:09The value of the property

01:15:10I know what it's about

01:15:11It's about the value

01:15:12That we bring to it

01:15:13It's about what

01:15:14The theater can provide

01:15:15To the town

01:15:16You simply have to embrace

01:15:18The power

01:15:19Of the art form itself

01:15:22Show him

01:15:24Show him

01:15:24All right

01:15:26I'll give you an excerpt

01:15:29I

01:15:30Have

01:15:31Of late

01:15:33But

01:15:33Wherefore

01:15:34I know not

01:15:35Lost

01:15:37All my mirth

01:15:39Forgot all

01:15:41Custom of exercises

01:15:44Indeed it goes so heavily

01:15:45With my disposition

01:15:46That this

01:15:47Goodly frame

01:15:48The earth

01:15:49Seems to me

01:15:51A sterile

01:15:52Promontory

01:15:53This most excellent

01:15:56Canopy

01:15:56The air

01:15:58Look you

01:16:00This brave

01:16:01O'erhanging firmament

01:16:02This majestical roof

01:16:04Fretted with golden fire

01:16:08Why it appears

01:16:09Nothing to me

01:16:10But a foul

01:16:11And pestilent

01:16:12Congregation

01:16:13Of vapors

01:16:18What a piece of work

01:16:20As a man

01:16:22How noble

01:16:24In reason

01:16:25How infinite

01:16:27In faculties

01:16:28In form

01:16:30And moving

01:16:31How express

01:16:32And admirable

01:16:33In action

01:16:35How like an angel

01:16:36In apprehension

01:16:38How like a god

01:16:39The beauty of the world

01:16:42The paragon

01:16:43Of animals

01:16:47And yet

01:16:50To me

01:16:52What is this

01:16:57Quintessence

01:16:58Of dust

01:17:01Man delights not me

01:17:07Anyway

01:17:08That's

01:17:09That's

01:17:09The gist

01:17:09Of it

01:17:17That's the sort of thing

01:17:18Theater can provide

01:17:19What do you think

01:17:21I want to help

01:17:22I do

01:17:22But we don't control

01:17:24The mortgage

01:17:24On the theater anymore

01:17:25Kristen refinanced

01:17:26A few years ago

01:17:27You must know this

01:17:28John

01:17:28You do the books

01:17:29Well

01:17:30I write the checks

01:17:31Every month

01:17:31But you know

01:17:32Sometimes the names

01:17:33On the checks

01:17:34Don't always match

01:17:35The payee

01:17:36No

01:17:37I don't know that

01:17:38Well but you know

01:17:39What I'm talking about

01:17:40I mean sometimes

01:17:40It's a numbered corporation

01:17:42Or Bernie

01:17:43Who sells us our meat

01:17:44He likes the checks

01:17:45Made out to cash

01:17:46Wow

01:17:46That is just

01:17:47Terrible accounting

01:17:48Not knowing who you're paying

01:17:49Is just

01:17:49Tell me

01:17:50Who owns the mortgage now

01:17:52I don't know

01:17:53Yeah well

01:18:01No I do remember

01:18:03Kristen

01:18:03She was looking

01:18:04For a better rate

01:18:05And she's very smart

01:18:06About that stuff

01:18:07Fine it's just

01:18:08The way it is

01:18:38The Millersburg Festival Theater

01:18:40Eight times a week

01:18:41I hope we'll be there

01:18:42Oh for a muse of fire

01:18:44I know I know

01:18:47I'm late

01:18:48As long as you have time

01:18:50To work your magic

01:18:51Alakazam

01:18:53Hey so

01:18:53I saw Jeff today

01:18:55Jeff?

01:18:57Yeah

01:18:57Jeff at the bank

01:18:58Bank Jeff

01:18:59Oh Jeff

01:19:00Yeah

01:19:01I haven't seen him in forever

01:19:02You know

01:19:03That's what he said

01:19:05He said

01:19:06They're not servicing

01:19:07The mortgage anymore

01:19:08You know

01:19:08They're here in an hour

01:19:09And I have to shower

01:19:10So can we

01:19:10We just talk about this later

01:19:12Well I was talking to Richard and Jeff

01:19:13And uh

01:19:14Why were you at the bank with Richard?

01:19:18You know you're right

01:19:18Let's talk after dinner

01:19:20I gotta get

01:19:21I love you

01:19:22Yeah

01:19:22Love you too

01:19:32Cucumber and crab vichyssoise

01:19:34With roasted chili oil and radish

01:19:36That's just the start

01:19:37Tell them what's coming

01:19:38Oh it's just my take on flounder mounier

01:19:41I dusted an almond flour

01:19:43And I finished it off with a brown butter thyme reduction

01:19:45And some boiled new potatoes with parsley and chive butter

01:19:48And then some asparagus with a lemon parmesan sauce

01:19:51And a simple little hondade and tomato salad

01:19:54Bon appétit

01:19:57Oh my god

01:19:59That is what they must eat in heaven

01:20:04What's it like kissing a man?

01:20:06I'm sorry

01:20:08What's it like kissing a man in a play

01:20:11When you are not gay?

01:20:13Because I see you in the normal heart

01:20:15And I know you are not a gay man

01:20:17Because I read everything

01:20:18I read everything

01:20:19But then I see him kissing Richard Thomas

01:20:21I think

01:20:22He is being gay so well

01:20:25How is he doing that?

01:20:27How do you do that?

01:20:29It's not that hard really

01:20:30You know

01:20:30Kissing a man

01:20:31It's like kissing a woman

01:20:32Only

01:20:34She's a man

01:20:35Isn't to our honoured chef

01:20:38Enough of you slaving away

01:20:40In the biles of that jerk joint

01:20:42A man of your gifts

01:20:43Deserves his own restaurant

01:20:45And a chance

01:20:46At his Michelin star

01:20:47Sláinte

01:20:48Excuse me

01:20:52Jerk joint

01:20:53The MFT

01:20:54Your brother is a wonderful cook

01:20:57He is

01:20:58And the food at the theatre is wonderful

01:21:00We can't afford to do this

01:21:02Every night

01:21:02Obviously

01:21:03Do you do your own wigs?

01:21:06No

01:21:07No

01:21:08Someone else does my wigs

01:21:09They have a mould

01:21:10Of my head

01:21:12So

01:21:13Mr. Boyle

01:21:14Connor

01:21:15Kristen tells me that

01:21:17You're the saviour of the town

01:21:19No saviour, Richard

01:21:21Just a businessman

01:21:22But honestly

01:21:24There's an opportunity here for redevelopment

01:21:26I can make a wee bit of money as we go along

01:21:28And you know

01:21:28The town gets jobs in return

01:21:30You know

01:21:30Capitalism

01:21:32Have you heard of capitalism?

01:21:33Rings a bell

01:21:34Of course, Richard

01:21:35Be knows capitalism

01:21:36Did you once not on Broadway do Willy Loman?

01:21:40I did?

01:21:40Yes, you see

01:21:41I am doing the homework

01:21:43In Russia

01:21:44We love this Willy play

01:21:46Because

01:21:47We see the truth of this country

01:21:49Great America

01:21:50To throw out

01:21:52Worker

01:21:52Like old show

01:21:53To you

01:21:53You know

01:21:54My Nadia

01:21:55She has a heart like an artist

01:21:58She's a dreamer

01:21:59You must be a dreamer too

01:22:01I mean, you must have a plan

01:22:02A vision for this whole town

01:22:04Let's just all enjoy this wonderful soup

01:22:06Shall we?

01:22:07Here is one thing

01:22:08To build a casino

01:22:11A casino?

01:22:12I wasn't ready to talk about it

01:22:13Yes, but you are these days

01:22:15You are talking of nothing else

01:22:16This is casino

01:22:17Well, that is pretty much the truth

01:22:19Yes

01:22:19Well, Connor, tell us about it

01:22:21Well, it's more of an

01:22:24An entertainment complex

01:22:26You know, with a shopping centre

01:22:28And a four-star hotel

01:22:29And three swimming pools

01:22:31Oh, I hope it's going to have

01:22:33One of those spouting fountains

01:22:36Where the lights and the music

01:22:38Are all synchronised to the spurts

01:22:40Why not?

01:22:41And a five-star restaurant

01:22:42For John to do his cricket

01:22:43Really?

01:22:44Right here in Millersburg

01:22:45You know, that came to me

01:22:46When I tasted this fucking soup

01:22:47So we're going to become a casino town

01:22:49With a restaurant

01:22:50For me

01:22:50It's the perfect location

01:22:52It will have a theatre

01:22:53It will have a big theatre for you

01:22:55Also, celebrity acts

01:22:57Right?

01:22:57Big draws

01:22:58You know, like

01:23:01Barry Manilow

01:23:02You know, someone people will actually pay money to see

01:23:05Did you know about this dream of commerce?

01:23:08I did not

01:23:09But it's still

01:23:10It's intriguing

01:23:11Why not make Millersburg a destination for thousands of tourists to spend money and have a good time?

01:23:17I mean, everyone wins

01:23:18Except most people

01:23:19Most people lose

01:23:20Miranda

01:23:21What?

01:23:22She's right

01:23:22I mean, that is how we make money

01:23:24I mean, I'm not going to lie to you

01:23:25I fucking love craps

01:23:26Hey, who wants more wine?

01:23:28Where are you thinking about building this?

01:23:30Where are you building it?

01:23:30Well, I've looked at several, you know, possible locations

01:23:33Oh, yeah, and I just bought that old hotel up in Berryhill

01:23:38The Morrison

01:23:38Yeah, that has a big enough footprint for the main building

01:23:41The Morrison is a heritage building

01:23:43It's a landmark

01:23:44Mom

01:23:46Do you have a name for this in mind?

01:23:48No, not yet

01:23:49Might I suggest the Golden Boyle?

01:23:54Okay, that's very funny

01:23:56You know, I could build it right in the heart of things

01:23:59I mean, the MFT site might just be big enough

01:24:02I got some surveying done when I took over the loan

01:24:04Oh!

01:24:05Wait, what?

01:24:06What the fuck, Miranda?

01:24:08What?

01:24:09You control the loan?

01:24:11We refinanced around two years ago

01:24:13And Mr. Boyle was kind enough to give us a

01:24:16This theatre is our family's legacy

01:24:19And you sold it to a developer

01:24:20I did not sell it

01:24:21I renegotiated for a very good rate

01:24:26I mean, we have to make payments

01:24:29Listen, forget about the payments

01:24:30Just forget about them

01:24:31Let them go

01:24:32Listen, why are you all killing yourselves?

01:24:35You know?

01:24:36I mean, why don't you let me build us a complex

01:24:38A theatre for you

01:24:40And a restaurant for John Hawkins

01:24:42Let me make this as clear as I possibly can

01:24:45We're not letting anything go

01:24:47The theatre is not for sale

01:24:50It is not Kristen's theatre to sell

01:24:54It's our family's theatre

01:24:57We own it

01:24:58Okay? Kristen is an employee

01:25:01I am not an employee

01:25:02Richard, someone, you can't say that

01:25:03How dare you?

01:25:04You didn't mean that

01:25:05But why didn't you tell me this?

01:25:07What?

01:25:07Why did I tell you?

01:25:10It was when we were putting in the kitchen

01:25:11Did you not think I could handle this?

01:25:12No, it weren't

01:25:12Is that what you thought?

01:25:13No, it was when we needed

01:25:14Our family's theatre

01:25:14We were putting in the kitchen

01:25:15Our family's theatre

01:25:16Our family's theatre

01:25:16And we're like, oh my God!

01:25:18Look!

01:25:18I have been killing myself here

01:25:20I know you have

01:25:20That's not what I'm saying

01:25:22I'm sorry

01:25:22I'm really sorry

01:25:23Listen to me

01:25:23Can you talk to me for a second?

01:25:25No, I'm not going to talk to you

01:25:29Tell me, Richard

01:25:32How are you remembering all those lines?

01:25:38Great question

01:25:39Great question

01:25:41Where's the flounder?
