00:02And suddenly I just blurted it out.
00:04No, you didn't tell her the truth.
00:06I believe...
00:07Did you specifically impugn her talent?
00:11I think I might have, yes.
00:13I told her she couldn't act.
00:17Uncle!
00:19Hi, Miranda.
00:21Mr. Bean, how are you?
00:22Now, of course, Nadia will tell Boyle,
00:24Boyle will pull the plug, all this will disappear.
00:27And I will have broken Miranda's heart.
00:30No, no, no, no, no.
00:32What I'm saying is playing Mr. and Mrs. Webb
00:36has made me realize what marriage is all about.
00:39Sameness.
00:40Oh, come on.
00:41No, no, wait, wait, no, no, no.
00:42That's too negative.
00:44Predictability.
00:44How is that any different than sameness?
00:47I miss having someone to watch TV with at the end of the night.
00:49Yes, like having somebody there to call 911 if I have a heart attack
00:53or to iron my pants.
00:55That's romantic.
00:55Oh, my God.
00:57This is why I live with a woman.
00:58And then I don't have to use an app to, you know,
01:00hook up like the young kids do or, pardon my French, to have sex.
01:04We haven't had sex in three years.
01:06I am so sorry.
01:07Is that even possible?
01:09What about last Easter?
01:10This is the circle of truth, Pat.
01:13I don't know what that was last Easter, but it wasn't sex.
01:16Oh, my God.
01:19Oh, my God.
01:19I have something I want to share, but boy, this is tougher than I thought it would be.
01:29You are gay. We are knowing this from before. We are not to care.
01:33Pardon me, being senior, but I gotta say something.
01:37You are wanting truth, Richard Bean? You are wanting real person?
01:41Okay, I'm giving you real person.
01:45What is real?
01:48Is that we are all made of the sadness.
01:51And that is what life is.
01:54So what if I live alone in basement in Novosibirsk for three years?
01:57So what if there is no mother?
02:00So what if my only choice is to be watching Richard Bean in hoist on 13-inch television set?
02:07What? We all have the problems.
02:09Being a person.
02:12It's a hard thing.
02:15So we stop crying about it.
02:17We make some art.
02:18There's a play about these happy Americans.
02:20I am not this happy American.
02:23I'm only me.
02:26I'm only me.
02:39I have an idea.
02:45No, Edna, I cannot create a curfew for cats.
02:47They're nocturnal.
02:48Your daughter has turned me into a friggin' cartoon.
02:51Look at that shite!
02:52Can you hold on?
02:53I've got to call you back, Edna.
02:54I'm so sorry.
02:54Okay, bye-bye.
02:59What?
02:59What is that?
03:00My arse!
03:02Oh.
03:03Oh, I thought it was some sort of weird potato, but I see it now.
03:06Uh-huh.
03:06You know, I'm trying to save this town.
03:09Holy mother of God, I thought you were with me.
03:11No, I am with you.
03:11I am so...
03:12Connor, I am so with you.
03:14I mean, these are just kids.
03:16I mean, maybe then some adults.
03:17But, you know, like I said, they're just there expressing their opinion.
03:21And, you know, good for them.
03:22It's their right.
03:22Yeah, well, you're going to have to make it stop.
03:24You know, I do not have to remind you that the casino boat is about four days away.
03:28No, I am very aware.
03:29These, uh, these fancy videos, they can sway people.
03:33I mean, how would you feel it was your own daughter that was the cause of this whole project going
03:37arseways?
03:38Well, I'm not quite sure what that means.
03:40But, listen, my daughter is her own person.
03:43She is strong-willed.
03:44Do I have to remind you, right?
03:45All the shite that I have tried to help you with.
03:48No, you don't.
03:48You know, the library, the rec center, and the friggin' organic, friggin' community garden.
03:53I know.
03:53I know.
03:54And I will see what I can do.
03:56Yes, that's right.
03:58You do that.
04:00And I wish I had money coming out of my arse.
04:04Me too.
04:09Nadia.
04:10Richard Dean.
04:11I'm glad you came back.
04:13I want to apologize to you.
04:15I failed you.
04:17I failed to help you.
04:19I failed.
04:20Because I...
04:23I didn't see you clearly.
04:25You are saying this only now because you want to save the Richard Bean show.
04:30You are a weasel and a coward.
04:32Good day.
04:34A weasel?
04:35Uh, yes, yes.
04:36And a coward.
04:37Definitely.
04:37And yes, I do want to do this show.
04:41And I'd like you to play Simon Stimson.
04:45Hmm.
04:47You want me to play the man who does his suicide?
04:51Exactly.
04:58I am thinking in the basement sometimes of ending all things.
05:05That's great.
05:07That you wanted to kill yourself?
05:09That's fantastic.
05:11I know.
05:11I mean, not in the...
05:12Obviously, in the general mental health sense, I'm talking about for the role.
05:17You understand him.
05:18You understand those feelings.
05:20You have him inside you.
05:21The Gibbs has many more lines.
05:24Yes, but Stimson has darkness.
05:31I will do it.
05:36Vegetarian Thai curry with lemongrass and fresh ginger for you.
05:40Shrimp dumplings with saffron shallot sauce for you.
05:43Wow.
05:44Dad, what's the occasion?
05:47No occasion.
05:48I just love you both very much.
05:51Everything I do is for you.
05:53You know, even when I make mistakes, it's probably because I'm trying to make things better.
06:00I'm just speaking hypothetically.
06:03Okay.
06:05I've been thinking about our discussion yesterday about Penn.
06:08You mean our fight?
06:09Just listen.
06:11How would you feel about a year in New York to do whatever you wanted?
06:16School, no school, acting, waiting tables, all of the above you choose.
06:20Wait, what's happening?
06:21She loves New York.
06:24Maybe she should take a gap year after all.
06:26That's a fantastic idea.
06:27I love that.
06:29Mom, that would be amazing.
06:32Really, thank you.
06:34And I was hoping you would be open to just toning down the casino protests.
06:42I'm sorry, what?
06:43The vote's four days away.
06:45I think everyone's gotten the message.
06:46Are you bribing me right now?
06:48Bribing you?
06:49Yes.
06:50Bribing?
06:50You're bribing me.
06:51My own mother is bribing me.
06:53Miranda.
06:54Connor Boyle is actually, he's trying to help this town.
06:56You don't even see it.
06:57You're so underwater with it all because you took a fucking loan with the guy.
07:01Honey, honey.
07:02What?
07:03Dad, please tell me you're not voting pro-casino on Friday.
07:09Well, you know, it's a complicated issue, honey.
07:12No, it's not.
07:13It's not black and white.
07:13You know what you both are?
07:15Sellouts.
07:16Honey, honey.
07:21Is there wine?
07:23You know how it is.
07:24You're 21, 22, you start making decisions, and you're 70.
07:3370?
07:35No, that's not right.
07:37I'm almost 90 for Christ.
07:40You've been an actor for 50 years.
07:43You've been a lawyer for 50 years.
07:44I'm not a lawyer.
07:45I'm an actor.
07:46What is he saying?
07:49I know the line.
07:52And the white-haired lady, what?
07:55I am off book.
07:57I knew everything this morning.
08:01I've blasted her.
08:04Dad, do you want to take a break?
08:05No, no.
08:06I know the line.
08:08I know the line.
08:10She keeps beating it out of my head.
08:13Who?
08:14Look, I know that she's your mother.
08:17I know that she's only trying to help.
08:19But I have to insist on a closed rehearsal.
08:32Jesus Christ.
08:38I'm sorry.
08:41It's okay.
08:43It's okay.
08:49It's okay, Dad.
08:52I feel her, too.
08:56Could I have five minutes?
08:58I need to talk to my director.
09:00I don't see how I can do this play without you.
09:04I can't remember the lines.
09:07Dad, you know the whole play.
09:09You know everybody's lines.
09:10All right, then.
09:11But I don't know who I am, where I am, who I'm talking to.
09:15I can't even remember that my beloved wife is dead.
09:20Dad, you can't give up now.
09:23I could probably do something smaller.
09:27Like how he knew some of the milkman.
09:30I get along really well with the horse.
09:33Yeah.
09:34I can't carry the piece.
09:36So I need you to replace me as the stage manager.
09:42Dad, I have trouble remembering my lines these days.
09:48The truth is I'm feeling a bit old myself.
09:52You're not old, son.
09:55You're scared.
09:59There's a difference.
10:02There's a difference.
10:06Hey, he's asleep.
10:08Let's go outside.
10:10Will you run lines with me?
10:13It appears that I'm taking over the part of the stage manager.
10:16I'm not surprised.
10:17I didn't think he'd be up to it.
10:19Yeah.
10:19I'm not sure I'm up to it.
10:21Stop.
10:22You'll be incredible.
10:23And we'll be on stage together.
10:25You know that scene in Act 3 when Emily goes back to the past?
10:29Of course.
10:29That's the heart of the play.
10:31Let's start there.
10:34First, I wanted to ask you, um, it would mean a lot if Richard, being famous actor, made
10:42a statement at the boat this week.
10:43A statement of protest, I'm assuming?
10:46Do you want a casino in Millersburg?
10:50When you're young, it's easy to see things as black or white.
10:55But in fact, there's a lot of gray.
10:58Like my hair.
10:59I mean, you can't see it.
11:00But anyway, well, look at me.
11:02I'm a famous actor.
11:03Highly regarded.
11:04Highly acclaimed.
11:05Highly awarded.
11:06I'm a force in the American theater.
11:08On the other hand, I'm insecure.
11:11I don't have many real friends.
11:14I drink too much.
11:16And, uh, I'm unpartnered.
11:19What does this have to do with the casino?
11:21Well, I'm just trying to point out that I'm a very complex person.
11:25That near complex.
11:26Life is complex.
11:27The casino complex is complex.
11:32Okay.
11:33Remind me never to get old.
11:35Why?
11:36I just feel like when people get old, they start forgetting everything they care about.
11:40They get selfish and careful and boring.
11:44And if that's what being an adult is, I don't want any part of it.
11:48Hmm.
11:51What?
11:52No, nothing.
11:53I'm just thinking what a perfect Emily you're going to be.
12:06Shh.
12:06Morning, everyone.
12:07Ah, morning.
12:08Looks very good.
12:09Very good indeed.
12:10Yes.
12:11Keep up the good work.
12:13One week until we open.
12:15Morning, Mr. Bean.
12:16Good morning.
12:18Oh, this is very nice.
12:20Very nice.
12:21Can I just say, I loved you in Hoist.
12:24Oh, I love your very tight brush strokes.
12:29Morning, Richard.
12:30Yeah.
12:30I know you wanted to start with Pat and Pat, but they're not here yet.
12:34We've been doing warm-up with the cast for the last 40 minutes.
12:37Dr. Derek is treating Kenny for cramp.
12:39Oh, dear God.
12:41Good morning, everyone.
12:42Good morning.
12:43I want to officially welcome our new Mrs. Gibbs.
12:47Thank you for joining us, Tina.
12:49Thank you for having me.
12:50She's amazing.
12:52All right.
12:53Well, I'd like to start with the Emily and George scene in the soda shop.
13:00I'm afraid that Heath is also missing.
13:03Always late.
13:06Miranda, have you seen Heath?
13:07I haven't seen him since yesterday.
13:09Richard, she's gone.
13:12My pet.
13:14She's gone.
13:16Gone?
13:18Oh, that kind of girl.
13:20As in, she left you a note?
13:22No.
13:23She left you a note.
13:26Dear Richard, acting in your Our Town has changed my life.
13:34I can't.
13:35I was asleep walking through my marriage.
13:39The players made me see how little time we have and what a sin it is to waste it.
13:43It is up to us to find our happiness.
13:46It breaks both our hearts to leave the show.
13:50But to say no to life has become impossible.
13:54Oh, there it is, the power of art to change our lives.
14:00How?
14:01And it can be very painful.
14:03I'm sorry, Pat.
14:03Why does it say both?
14:31Why does it say both?
14:33MFT?
14:35MFT?
14:36Pat?
14:36Pat?
14:36Pat?
14:37It'll never last.
14:38It's an owl cove studio.
14:44Well, great.
14:46We open in a week.
14:47We don't have a George.
14:48We don't have a Mr. or Mrs. Webb.
14:50Uh, I have to think.
14:52Would you tell them all to just go?
14:54Yeah. Hey, guys. Rehearsal is cancelled today.
14:58Does this mean we don't get to do the play anymore?
15:00Nothing definitive. I'll let you know about tomorrow morning, okay? I promise.
15:11I'm sorry.
15:13I overreacted.
15:16You want to hang out?
15:17Yeah, sure.
15:18Uh, Miranda, could you stay for a few minutes? I need to speak with both of you.
15:25Sorry about what's this douche.
15:27It's okay. He was kind of awful. He'd, like, mouth my lines at me while I said them.
15:31I saw that.
15:33Yeah. You're going to be a great George, Randall.
15:37Does anyone need me for anything?
15:39No, Dad, we're good. We're good.
15:41In fact, Hugo, can you take Dad home?
15:43Yeah, happy to.
15:44Okay, you want to try it again?
15:45Okay, let's try it again.
15:46Emily, why are you mad at me?
15:48I'm not mad at you.
15:50You've been treating me so funny lately.
15:53Well, since you asked me, I might as well say it right out.
15:57George...
15:57Wait, wait. What? What happens before this?
16:00They are going to have this whole interaction because I'm unhappy with the change that's come over you.
16:04Right.
16:04And then we're going to talk about it.
16:06It's going well.
16:09Everything okay?
16:11Oh, yeah.
16:12Fine.
16:13Fine.
16:14I was just remembering when I did this scene with your mom.
16:28Oh, hey.
16:29What's up?
16:30I was watching Miranda and Randall rehearsing and I just started thinking about this place.
16:36You know, what we had, what we were, who we were, what we made here.
16:40Listen, I need you to step into the role of Mr. Webb.
16:48Oh, um...
16:49Come here.
16:49I mean, I'm dealing with a bunch of stuff right now and I...
16:52It's not a good time.
16:54You were born to play that part.
16:55It'll fit you like a glove.
16:57He's a good man like you.
16:58He's fine, upstanding, steady and reliable and dependable.
17:02I lost Miranda's college fund at a casino.
17:05You what?
17:06I was winning.
17:06I mean, I was up.
17:07I was way up.
17:09And then I wasn't.
17:11I just...
17:11I feel so ashamed.
17:13When do you have a gambling problem?
17:15I don't.
17:15I don't.
17:15It's a freak thing when I went to the casino with Boyle.
17:18At once.
17:19Once in Vegas I lost $12,000, but I made it back before Kristen woke up, so that doesn't count.
17:24And, you know, if you're going to be picky about it in college, I...
17:28Remember when I said I wrecked the Acura?
17:30I lost it in a poker game, but every college kid loses cars in poker games.
17:34Right?
17:36Not to my knowledge, no.
17:38Shit.
17:38Maybe I do.
17:39Shit.
17:40This time I was trying to win money for Miranda.
17:42You know, I was trying to make things better for everybody.
17:45Have you told Kristen yet?
17:47No.
17:48No, no.
17:49It's killing me.
17:50But Kristen, she's so...
17:53She's so stressed right now.
17:54This is the last thing she needs to hear.
17:56Hmm.
17:58There's only one solution.
18:01You have to play Mr. Webb.
18:02No, you do.
18:03He's a good man.
18:05So are you.
18:06It'll be therapeutic.
18:10I couldn't do that...
18:12That circle of truth thing.
18:13You don't.
18:14I couldn't do that.
18:15I can't do it either.
18:17Forget about it.
18:18No.
18:18And I'm thinking of offering Mrs. Webb to Kristen.
18:21Oh, yeah?
18:21That's not going to happen.
18:23Oh, I wouldn't bet on it.
18:25Really?
18:25Sorry.
18:26Really?
18:26Sorry.
18:27Really?
18:27Mm.
18:28Q1, go.
18:30Okay.
18:31Here we go.
18:33Yes.
18:40Yes.
18:41Good.
18:42Good.
18:43Where's...
18:43There's the morning light.
18:45Excellent.
18:50Yes.
18:51Yes, Debbie.
18:52Look at what you have done.
18:55Darling, darling, it's...
18:56What have you done?
18:56I mean, just you and me and Shickle Groover.
18:59Good old Shickle Groover.
19:00Yeah.
19:01Ah!
19:01Yeah.
19:02Ah, quite a spectacle you got going on here.
19:05I'm watching something like this.
19:07Cost weight.
19:07Don't tell me you can't put a price on genius, right?
19:10Hey, John.
19:11Hello.
19:12Mop up the floor and then we'll do it again.
19:14Come over here.
19:15Much better from this angle.
19:16Let's go to the rain.
19:16Real friggin' rain.
19:19Yeah, I'm surprised to see Mr. Pat here.
19:21Oh, I'll give him some accounting work.
19:23Bright fan, you know, good fella.
19:25Not your biggest fan.
19:27I mean, what the hell.
19:28You dream big, you're going to make enemies, right?
19:31You've done a really fine-up job here, mate.
19:33It is exactly what you said it was going to be, you know?
19:36Well.
19:37We're a good team, you and me, you know?
19:39And I've been thinking about the new theatre at the casino, and I'm seeing a naming opportunity.
19:46The Richard Bean Memorial Theatre.
19:49What do you think?
19:50Well, I think it's very generous of you, but it does sort of imply that I'm dead.
19:54Well, you know, call it whatever you want, you know, you do what you need to do.
19:57The main thing is, it's yours.
20:00Now, listen, I've got to go.
20:01Oh, and you'll be at the city council voting tomorrow, you know?
20:05You'll set a few words, won't you?
20:06You know, warm them up a little bit.
20:08You know, it's always good to get the celebrity blessing.
20:11Yeah.
20:11Oh, here.
20:12Have that on me.
20:13Enjoy.
20:14Oh, well, you're a true kind of you.
20:35Wow, I've never played a mayor.
20:38Well, don't worry, you're still young.
20:42Very funny.
20:44You're here because?
20:46Well, I just wanted to take a break from rehearsal, and I wanted to give you an update on the
20:50production.
20:51Yeah, I'm not playing Mrs. Webb.
20:54John told me you'd be asking.
20:55I was hoping you'd consider it for the sake of saving the theatre and for the town.
21:01I'm the mayor.
21:03Everything I do is for the town.
21:05Well, then, for art's sake.
21:10I mean, the production's going to be fantastic.
21:13It's going to have real rain and a horse and a turn of the century working soda fountain.
21:18And John is going to be Mr. Webb.
21:20And Miranda's going to be Emily.
21:22And Linus is going to...
21:23He's not playing the stage manager.
21:25He wants to play Howie Newsome, and so I've assumed the role of the stage manager.
21:29Myself, it'll be the whole family, together, on the stage.
21:33Except for you.
21:35Well, in case you haven't heard, I have a casino complex to get approved tomorrow.
21:40And I have the Irish Tony Soprano calling me every time anyone has the slightest objection, which half the time
21:45happens to be my daughter.
21:45So, please don't ask me to be a part of your happy band of players, because I can't.
21:57All right.
21:57The real reason I want you to do this is because the best work I have ever done in my
22:02life has been with you.
22:04When we were on stage together, you always brought out the best in me.
22:07And I in you.
22:08And, well, I miss that.
22:14Well, thank you.
22:24Must be quite a burden, carrying the fate of an entire town on your shoulders.
22:30I'm trying.
22:34You're obviously good at it.
22:44Richard?
22:45Yes?
22:48Close the door.
23:12No, no, no, casino.
23:14No, no, casino.
23:17No, no, casino.
23:17No, no, casino.
23:18No, no, casino.
23:18No, no, casino.
23:19No, casino.
23:19No, casino.
23:30Hi, everybody.
23:32And thank you for taking the time to be here today.
23:36Today, your elected city council members will vote on a building permit for Connor Boyle's proposed Luck of the Irish
23:44Casino and Entertainment Complex on the site of the Morrison Hotel.
23:51We are not Las Vegas.
23:53Just build the goddamn thing.
23:59There are a lot of strong feelings on both sides of this issue, which is good because it means you
24:06care.
24:07We care about jobs.
24:08Yes, we do.
24:14And we all care about the future of Millersburg.
24:18Look, we all know each other here, and I never in a million years thought that I would propose a
24:23casino for our town.
24:25I think some of my family were a little surprised as well.
24:29But after studying the numbers, I realized that this might be exactly what our town needs.
24:37For starters, the added tax revenue would allow us to keep the library open for more than three days a
24:43week.
24:44And we could offer our librarians a working wage.
24:47I mean, we can buy working computers for the high school.
24:52Our town is hurting.
24:55And I believe Connor Boyle's casino is the solution we've been looking for.
25:00So.
25:02Having said that, I'm going to pass it over to Mr. Pat Patterson.
25:05Pat.
25:15Ladies and gentlemen, some of you here may remember when Millersburg was a town where you could get married and
25:22start a family and join a bowling league if you were so inclined.
25:26It was safe, comfortable, predictable, and it's gone.
25:31There are things going on at the MFT that some people say are artistic, but they are destroying the very
25:39fabric of our town.
25:41I need to ask you to stick to the issue, Pat.
25:43I'm saying it's time for something new.
25:48Connor Boyle's casino complex isn't just an opportunity.
25:52It's a lifeline.
26:03I have something to say.
26:06You're just a kid.
26:07Hey, I'm 18 and I have a point of view, so get over it.
26:10Hi.
26:12Mr. Patterson and the mayor seem to think that this casino will be a lifeline for this town.
26:17Well, I think a death line is more accurate.
26:22We have been handing out pamphlets with lots of facts and statistics about crime rates and falling property values.
26:30The bottom line is this.
26:32Casinos kill communities.
26:35Okay.
26:36No amount of tax revenue is going to bring back the soul of this town once it's gone, and that's
26:41exactly what's going to happen if we move forward with this project.
26:44So please, do the right thing and vote no on casino.
26:47No, no, casino!
26:49No, no, casino!
26:51No, no, casino!
26:53No, no, casino!
26:55No, no, casino!
26:57No, no, no, no!
27:39No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
27:40no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
27:40no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
27:40no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
27:40no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
27:40no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
27:41And the man gave in to temptation. Why? Because he was struggling financially, and he needed a quick fix.
27:51The devil told him all of his problems would be solved with one spin of the wheel.
27:55So he bet the farm on red, and it came up black. He lost everything.
28:04Now, we've all been tempted by the devil at one time or another, and some of us have given in.
28:12But I urge you all, as citizens of Millersburg, don't go for the quick fix.
28:21Don't risk the soul of this town, our town, on one spin of the wheel.
28:27Don't let the devil win. Not this time.
28:42If there are no further speakers, I would like to proceed.
28:48Councilman Pennick.
28:50No.
28:54Friends, I ask that we please remain respectful and quiet until the vote is complete.
29:02Councilman Davies.
29:03No.
29:06Councilman Mendel.
29:08Yes.
29:10Councilman Delgado.
29:12Yes.
29:13Councilman Peters.
29:15No.
29:16Councilman Bruce.
29:18Yes.
29:19The vote stands at three in favor and three opposed.
29:23Councilman Bean will cast the deciding vote.
29:37No.
29:56Say goodbye to your rain genius.
29:57Say goodbye to your rain genius.
29:58Say goodbye to your rain genius.
