00:00:05,255 --> 00:00:05,463
.

2
00:00:05,505 --> 00:00:07,048
<i>- Mr. Johnson here came to our</i>
<i>country with a secret agenda,</i>

3
00:00:09,426 --> 00:00:11,511
<i>to secure a trade deal</i>

4
00:00:11,553 --> 00:00:13,930
{\an8}<i>to export</i>
<i>our Gjelgjiughm coffee.</i>

5
00:00:13,972 --> 00:00:17,726
{\an8}<i>Gjelgjiughm will never engage</i>
<i>in a coffee trade deal</i>

6
00:00:17,767 --> 00:00:19,394
{\an8}<i>with the United States.</i>

7
00:00:21,312 --> 00:00:23,606
{\an8}- I can't believe we're going
back home without a deal.

8
00:00:23,648 --> 00:00:25,150
{\an8}- Hey, it was always
a long shot.

9
00:00:25,191 --> 00:00:26,735
{\an8}Look at it this way.

10
00:00:26,776 --> 00:00:29,362
{\an8}We got to see a new country
and meet some lifelong friends.

11
00:00:29,404 --> 00:00:31,239
{\an8}- Randall, you've made
zero friends on this trip.

12
00:00:31,281 --> 00:00:34,159
{\an8}- But I did get to spend
a solid day in the museum.

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,910
{\an8}Learned a ton
about Cannibal's Peak.

14
00:00:35,952 --> 00:00:38,371
{\an8}The things those soccer players
did to survive--

15
00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:40,832
{\an8}they had
these life-sized dioramas...

16
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:43,668
{\an8}Hey, listen.

17
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,045
{\an8}You tried your best.

18
00:00:45,086 --> 00:00:48,089
{\an8}You have no experience
in international diplomacy.

19
00:00:48,131 --> 00:00:49,966
{\an8}The president
just threw you in there.

20
00:00:50,008 --> 00:00:51,885
{\an8}People train for years
to prepare

21
00:00:51,926 --> 00:00:52,886
{\an8}for a situation like that.

22
00:00:52,927 --> 00:00:54,304
{\an8}I know.

23
00:00:54,346 --> 00:00:56,056
{\an8}It's just, getting back
into the political arena

24
00:00:56,097 --> 00:00:57,724
{\an8}and failing--again.

25
00:00:57,766 --> 00:00:59,684
{\an8}It's frustrating,
putting in the work

26
00:00:59,726 --> 00:01:01,728
{\an8}and still feeling completely
out of my element.

27
00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:05,440
{\an8}And honestly, it reminds me
of when I first started acting.

28
00:01:05,482 --> 00:01:08,401
{\an8}<i>I was now one of the top</i>
<i>wrestlers in the country,</i>

29
00:01:08,443 --> 00:01:11,071
{\an8}<i>and with that distinction</i>
<i>came new opportunities.</i>

30
00:01:11,112 --> 00:01:13,114
{\an8}Bubbles, nice, Vince.

31
00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:14,366
{\an8}What's the occasion?

32
00:01:14,407 --> 00:01:16,701
{\an8}- The WWF
has never been bigger.

33
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:18,828
{\an8}And so much of our success
is thanks to you

34
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:20,372
{\an8}and all you've brought
to the company.

35
00:01:20,413 --> 00:01:23,333
{\an8}I mean, we literally took one
of your catchphrases

36
00:01:23,375 --> 00:01:25,251
{\an8}and made a whole new show
called "SmackDown!"

37
00:01:25,293 --> 00:01:27,212
{\an8}- [chuckles]
Thank you, Vince.

38
00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:28,755
{\an8}It means a lot
to hear you say that.

39
00:01:30,215 --> 00:01:32,467
{\an8}Mm, one sec.

40
00:01:32,509 --> 00:01:35,470
{\an8}I hate sparkling water.
It's unnatural.

41
00:01:35,512 --> 00:01:38,014
{\an8}[intercom beeps]
Artie, no more bubble water.

42
00:01:38,056 --> 00:01:39,432
{\an8}I know I requested it.

43
00:01:39,474 --> 00:01:40,892
{\an8}Maybe we picked
the wrong brand.

44
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:42,686
{\an8}Is this the one
with the trees on the label?

45
00:01:42,727 --> 00:01:44,938
{\an8}- The label says
it's from Poland.

46
00:01:44,979 --> 00:01:46,272
{\an8}Poland?

47
00:01:46,314 --> 00:01:48,274
{\an8}Artie, I can't be drinking
war-torn water.

48
00:01:48,316 --> 00:01:50,151
{\an8}Okay, from now on,
I'd like all my water

49
00:01:50,193 --> 00:01:51,778
{\an8}to be peaceful and regular.

50
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:52,654
{\an8}You got it, Vince.

51
00:01:52,696 --> 00:01:53,697
{\an8}No problem--
[intercom beeps]

52
00:01:53,738 --> 00:01:55,198
{\an8}- Our ratings are
through the roof,

53
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,450
{\an8}and there's a sense we can
attract an even wider audience

54
00:01:57,492 --> 00:01:59,285
{\an8}by having some
of our superstars cross over

55
00:01:59,327 --> 00:02:00,745
{\an8}into scripted television.

56
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:02,622
{\an8}And given you're one
of our top guys,

57
00:02:02,664 --> 00:02:03,998
{\an8}I'd like you
to be the tip of the spear.

58
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,959
{\an8}You mean, like, as an actor?

59
00:02:06,001 --> 00:02:07,293
{\an8}Are you open to the idea?

60
00:02:07,335 --> 00:02:09,212
{\an8}- I mean, I've never seriously
thought about it,

61
00:02:09,254 --> 00:02:12,757
{\an8}but what kid didn't want to be
Schwarzenegger or Stallone?

62
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:14,968
{\an8}Action stars, exactly.

63
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:17,804
{\an8}And the show we'd like to cast
you in isn't just action.

64
00:02:17,846 --> 00:02:20,098
{\an8}It's cyber-action.

65
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:21,725
{\an8}You ever see the movie
"The Net"?

66
00:02:21,766 --> 00:02:23,476
{\an8}- No, not yet,
but it's on my list.

67
00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:24,811
{\an8}Oh, you got to see it.

68
00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:26,604
{\an8}Sandra Bullock
was always sprinting somewhere

69
00:02:26,646 --> 00:02:28,314
{\an8}while a computer was loading.

70
00:02:28,356 --> 00:02:29,649
{\an8}The tension was incredible.

71
00:02:29,691 --> 00:02:31,985
{\an8}Yeah, I was told
it did for computers

72
00:02:32,027 --> 00:02:33,445
{\an8}what "Speed 2" did for boats.

73
00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:35,071
{\an8}- And is Sandra gonna be
in the show?

74
00:02:35,113 --> 00:02:37,490
{\an8}- They didn't say,
but probably.

75
00:02:37,532 --> 00:02:39,409
{\an8}- I mean, I don't know
anything about acting.

76
00:02:39,451 --> 00:02:40,618
{\an8}Oh, don't worry.

77
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:41,786
{\an8}You're gonna be playing
a wrestler,

78
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:43,038
{\an8}basically a version
of yourself.

79
00:02:43,079 --> 00:02:45,582
{\an8}- That could be cool.
I know how to do that.

80
00:02:45,623 --> 00:02:47,709
{\an8}And you're okay with me
missing TV for this?

81
00:02:47,751 --> 00:02:50,170
{\an8}- That's the best part.
You won't miss any matches.

82
00:02:50,211 --> 00:02:52,297
{\an8}We'll fly you out for the shoot
and have you back next week

83
00:02:52,339 --> 00:02:53,340
{\an8}for "Monday Night Raw."

84
00:02:53,381 --> 00:02:55,592

- Terrific.

{\an8}the water order, sir, or--

91

you want it to be.

{\an8}That's what's
so great about it.

96
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:16,029
{\an8}- Sometimes, you want
banana bread and a cheeseburger

97
00:03:16,071 --> 00:03:17,197
{\an8}at the same time.

98
00:03:17,238 --> 00:03:18,531
{\an8}- Or smoked salmon
and key lime pie.

99
00:03:18,573 --> 00:03:21,368
{\an8}- Oh, that is not a meal.
That's chaos.

100
00:03:21,409 --> 00:03:23,870

brunch is a ridiculous concept.

00:03:27,749 --> 00:03:29,626
{\an8}Funny thing, I met with Vince,

104
00:03:29,668 --> 00:03:31,961
{\an8}and our network partner
offered me an acting role

105
00:03:32,003 --> 00:03:33,046
on one of their TV shows.

106
00:03:33,088 --> 00:03:34,381
[both gasp]

107
00:03:34,422 --> 00:03:36,299
- Yeah, it's only
for one episode,

108
00:03:36,341 --> 00:03:38,176
but it's for a new show
called "The Net,"

109
00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:39,678
based
on the Sandra Bullock movie.

110
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:42,597
- What?
Oh, I love her!

111
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,392
Do you know Sandra
is fluent in German?

112
00:03:45,433 --> 00:03:47,811
She's part Samoan, 1/16.

113
00:03:47,852 --> 00:03:49,521
You have to look,
but it's there.

114
00:03:49,562 --> 00:03:51,356
- You know,
I was almost on the big screen.

115
00:03:51,398 --> 00:03:52,524
Yes, we know, Dad.

116
00:03:52,565 --> 00:03:54,192
You've told the story
a hundred times.

117
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:57,278
- You were almost in a movie?
- Well, thank you, Dany.

118
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,364
I considered being
in the movie "Predator,"

119
00:03:59,406 --> 00:04:00,907
even made an audition tape.

120
00:04:07,539 --> 00:04:11,292

Hi, I'm Rocky Johnson.
I'm 6'2", and I live in Hawaii.

- You almost played
Jesse Ventura's part?

123
00:04:18,008 --> 00:04:20,093
- Yeah, lucky for him,
I never sent the tape in.

124
00:04:20,135 --> 00:04:21,344
Why?

125
00:04:21,386 --> 00:04:22,429
- Role didn't have
enough lines.

126
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:24,848
No meat on the bones. Pass.

- Oh, this is so exciting,
Dewey.

128
00:04:26,641 --> 00:04:27,767
But I hope this doesn't mean

129
00:04:27,809 --> 00:04:29,436
you're taking a break
from wrestling.

you've worked so hard for.

132

- Don't worry, Mom.
I'm gonna do both.

133
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:36,109
Vince is fully supportive,
and he thinks

134
00:04:36,151 --> 00:04:38,987
this will help the WWF develop
an even bigger fanbase.

135
00:04:39,029 --> 00:04:40,613
- So what kind
of acting role is it?

136
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:41,823
- Well, Vince said
I'm playing a wrestler,

137
00:04:41,865 --> 00:04:42,949
but I haven't seen
the script yet.

138
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:44,701
- Perfect.
I'm sure you'll do great.

139
00:04:44,743 --> 00:04:48,079
- Absolutely.
- Fantastic.

140
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:50,081
If you see Sandra Bullock,

141
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:53,543
you ask for her autograph,
and you bring it to me.

142
00:04:53,585 --> 00:04:56,171
- I will.
Okay, let's eat.

143
00:04:56,212 --> 00:04:59,007
You get her autograph first.

144
00:04:59,049 --> 00:05:00,842
Okay.

145
00:05:03,261 --> 00:05:05,472
{\an8}<i>I was pumped for my first day</i>
<i>of filming "The Net,"</i>

146
00:05:05,513 --> 00:05:08,767
{\an8}<i>but honestly, I had no idea</i>
<i>what I was doing, since...</i>

147
00:05:08,808 --> 00:05:10,477
{\an8}I've never been
on a TV set before.

148
00:05:10,518 --> 00:05:13,063
{\an8}Hell yeah, set's the bomb.

149
00:05:13,104 --> 00:05:14,522
Your trailer okay?

150
00:05:14,564 --> 00:05:16,649
I keep my LaserDisc locked up
in mine with my gun.

151
00:05:16,691 --> 00:05:18,068
No, my trailer's great.

152
00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:20,487
Much more privacy
than a WWF locker room.

153
00:05:20,528 --> 00:05:22,197
- Totally, well,
I once meditated

154
00:05:22,238 --> 00:05:23,323
for three hours in mine.

155
00:05:23,365 --> 00:05:24,824
Lost an entire morning
of shooting.

156
00:05:24,866 --> 00:05:27,160
Production wanted me dead,
but whatever.

157
00:05:27,202 --> 00:05:28,703
I'm a director.

158
00:05:28,745 --> 00:05:32,374
Sometimes with art, you gotta
go deep to find the truth.

159
00:05:33,958 --> 00:05:35,460
Come on.

160
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:37,754
So uh, how's this gonna work?

161
00:05:37,796 --> 00:05:39,673
This is my first time
doing this.

162
00:05:39,714 --> 00:05:42,008
- So in the previous shot,
you'll exit the car

163
00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:46,012
while Angela, the star/computer
programmer/your combat trainee,

164
00:05:46,054 --> 00:05:48,056
watches you enter the gym
to find the crime boss

165
00:05:48,098 --> 00:05:49,557
doing dumbbell curls
on a bench press.

166
00:05:49,599 --> 00:05:51,601
He'll be the guy wearing
Lee jeans.

167
00:05:51,643 --> 00:05:53,520
Then you'll agree to fight
his champion to the death

168
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,522
in an illegal gambling match

169
00:05:55,563 --> 00:05:58,525
being broadcast worldwide
on the Net.

170
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:00,568
- So the crime boss
works out in jeans?

171
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:02,112
- Yeah, he's a total maniac.
- For sure.

172
00:06:02,153 --> 00:06:04,948
So do I know that I'm fighting
to the death ahead of time,

173
00:06:04,989 --> 00:06:06,074
or is this a trap?

174
00:06:06,116 --> 00:06:07,701
I just want to make sure
I understand.

175
00:06:07,742 --> 00:06:09,327
All you need to understand

176
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:11,705
is that you're gonna kick
that dude's ass--hey, Monty.

177
00:06:11,746 --> 00:06:13,665
- And I'll take care of the rest.
- Okay.

178
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:15,834
- All right, everyone,
let's make some excellent TV!

179
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:17,377
Dwayne, go ahead
and stand right there.

180
00:06:17,419 --> 00:06:19,462
Perfect, baby, perfect.

181
00:06:19,504 --> 00:06:21,548
Okay.

182
00:06:21,589 --> 00:06:23,216
[bell rings]
Robes are off.

183
00:06:23,258 --> 00:06:26,052
And...

184
00:06:26,094 --> 00:06:27,971
action!

185
00:06:28,013 --> 00:06:30,974
<i>[tense music]</i>

186
00:06:31,016 --> 00:06:33,435
- [flatly]
Make sure you lock the door.

187
00:06:33,476 --> 00:06:36,438
I don't want him
trying to run away.

188
00:06:42,694 --> 00:06:46,406

<i>[impacts and grunts]</i>

192
00:06:54,289 --> 00:06:56,750
- I really like how clear
you're enunciating your lines.

193
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:58,335
- Was just thinking
the same thing.

194
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,754
I can understand every word.

195
00:07:03,465 --> 00:07:07,427
- So if those agents
you were talking to earlier

196
00:07:07,469 --> 00:07:09,888
use the Internet,
they can stop the fight?

197
00:07:09,929 --> 00:07:11,306
Well, sort of.

198
00:07:11,348 --> 00:07:13,683
First, they need to track
the video feed's IP address

199
00:07:13,725 --> 00:07:14,976
so they can locate me.

200
00:07:15,018 --> 00:07:17,187
- Locate you?
But they were just with you.

201
00:07:17,228 --> 00:07:19,230
What kind of federal agents
are these?

202
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:20,690
- Boo, FBI!
Kill yourselves!

203
00:07:20,732 --> 00:07:23,068
- Well, actually,
only the guy is with the FBI.

204
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:25,653
The female lead
is a computer programmer

205
00:07:25,695 --> 00:07:27,530
whose technology skills
help them solve crimes.

206
00:07:27,572 --> 00:07:29,115
Where's Sandra Bullock?

207
00:07:29,157 --> 00:07:32,327
Why didn't anyone call her
before getting into this mess?

208

<i>[grunting]</i>

209
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:36,456

00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:48,802

218
00:07:53,431 --> 00:07:54,766
- Hey, Vince.
You got a sec?

219
00:07:54,808 --> 00:07:56,309
There's my guy.

220
00:07:56,351 --> 00:07:58,645
You ready to go toe-to-toe
with Steve Austin this week?

221
00:07:58,687 --> 00:08:00,271
- Definitely,
it's gonna be a great match.

222
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:01,731
- All right.
- Listen.

223
00:08:01,773 --> 00:08:04,275
I just wanted to apologize
for last night on "The Net."

224
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:06,236
I hope I didn't embarrass
the company.

225
00:08:06,277 --> 00:08:08,113
- Are you joking?
- I wish.

226
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:09,864
When you have a chance
to see the episode--

227
00:08:09,906 --> 00:08:11,908
- Dwayne, I watched the show
last night.

228
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:13,368
You were sensational!

229
00:08:13,410 --> 00:08:14,577
- Really?
- Stop being modest.

230
00:08:14,619 --> 00:08:16,037
I hate false sincerity.

231
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,415
It's like when people ask,
"How's your family?"

232
00:08:18,456 --> 00:08:19,624
They don't care.

233
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:21,418
They don't give a fig
about my family.

234
00:08:21,459 --> 00:08:23,461
Watch.
Artie, how's your family?

235
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:24,754
- Well, my mom just--
- See?

236
00:08:24,796 --> 00:08:26,006
I don't care.

237
00:08:26,047 --> 00:08:27,966
Dwayne,
your episode was so good

238
00:08:28,008 --> 00:08:29,551
that I'm rewatching it
right now.

239
00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:30,885
I don't know.

240
00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:32,721
I thought my acting
was kind of stiff.

241
00:08:32,762 --> 00:08:34,723
- Dwayne,
no one's watching your acting.

242
00:08:34,764 --> 00:08:36,641
They're watching you, the Rock.

243
00:08:36,683 --> 00:08:38,935
This is exactly the type
of entertainment

244
00:08:38,977 --> 00:08:41,730
that will bring more fans
into the WWF.

245
00:08:41,771 --> 00:08:44,566
I also loved that scene
when flirty music played

246
00:08:44,607 --> 00:08:45,734
while you taught
fake Sandra Bullock

247
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:47,235
how to neutralize a bad guy.

248
00:08:47,277 --> 00:08:49,738
- My director said those kinds
of emotional layers

249
00:08:49,779 --> 00:08:51,197
are his artistic signature.

250
00:08:51,239 --> 00:08:53,324
- Stay close to him.
He's going places.

251
00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:55,410
- Did the network execs
say anything about the show?

252
00:08:55,452 --> 00:08:57,579
- They didn't seem to want
to discuss the episode,

253
00:08:57,620 --> 00:08:58,955
which is crazy to me.

254
00:08:58,997 --> 00:09:01,583
But everyone loves what
this crossover initiative

255
00:09:01,624 --> 00:09:02,917
is doing for our ratings.

256
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:04,878
In fact, I've already booked
you another role,

257
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:06,755
this time,
on "Star Trek: Voyager."

258
00:09:06,796 --> 00:09:09,299
- "Star Trek"?
That's a major franchise.

259
00:09:09,341 --> 00:09:10,633
- Nanu nanu.
[laughs]

260
00:09:10,675 --> 00:09:12,260
Exciting stuff, right?

261
00:09:12,302 --> 00:09:14,387
You shoot your episode
next month.

262
00:09:14,429 --> 00:09:16,181
<i>- If Vince was happy</i>
<i>with what I was doing,</i>

263
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:17,932
<i>then I was happy</i>

00:09:17,974 --> 00:09:19,392

265

267
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:28,234
Another packed house for
"Thursday Night SmackDown!"

268
00:09:28,276 --> 00:09:30,278
Des Moines really knows
how to party.

<i>I'm so jealous.</i>

270
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:32,947
I've been dying to see Iowa

{\an8}- Emotional.
<i>- So emotional.</i>

Oh, that's my food.
I better go.

00:09:48,004 --> 00:09:49,464
I gotta get back
to reading too.

280
00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:52,217
I've barely started
this "Star Trek" book.

281
00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:54,511
- I love how seriously
you're taking this.

282
00:09:54,552 --> 00:09:56,638
- You know I want to be
the best at whatever I do.

283
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:57,972
- Oh, I know.
Bye, babe.

284
00:09:58,014 --> 00:09:59,349
All right. Bye, babe.

285
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:05,397
- Hey.
- I have three dinners for--

286
00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:06,940
one guest.

287
00:10:06,981 --> 00:10:10,276
- Yeah, you can bring that in.
- Oh, live long and prosper.

288
00:10:10,318 --> 00:10:13,488
- Oh, what a nice thing to say.
You too.

289
00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:14,823
Cool finger trick, by the way.

290
00:10:16,366 --> 00:10:17,617

Oh.

Please. Don't make me laugh.

Ha, you?

296
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:34,092
I'm insulted they would even
put you in the pit to fight me.

297
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:36,720
Oh, wait, it's "against me,"
not "fight me."

298

- Let me start over.
- Hey, you okay, Dew?

299
00:10:38,221 --> 00:10:39,139
You seem kind of nervous
or something.

300
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:40,348
I just want to be prepared

301
00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:42,308

when it's showtime.

302
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:43,768
- Brother, you performed

of 30,000 screaming fans.

304

I think you can handle this.

This is so different, though.

306
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:51,693
There's no live audience
to feed off of and respond to.

307
00:10:51,735 --> 00:10:53,403
I know this is just a way
to help Vince

308
00:10:53,445 --> 00:10:54,863
expand the profile
of the company,

309
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:56,072
but I still want
to do a good job.

310
00:10:56,114 --> 00:10:57,574
- Hey, don't even mention it,
all right?

311
00:10:57,615 --> 00:10:59,325
We'll keep rehearsing them
till you get them lines down.

- Bruno, you're
the half-woman, half-cyborg.

315
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:06,666
Wait, what?

316
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:08,293
- I'm half-Borg?
- Yeah.

00:11:09,878 --> 00:11:12,088
Wow, okay.

318
00:11:12,130 --> 00:11:14,382
This script makes
a lot more sense now.

319
00:11:14,424 --> 00:11:15,884
- It says--
- I didn't even see that.

320
00:11:15,925 --> 00:11:17,677

Okay, ready?

Hi, I'm Kim, the director.

328
00:11:32,984 --> 00:11:35,779

00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:36,696
- Nice to have you with us,
Dwayne.

330
00:11:36,738 --> 00:11:37,739
Happy to be here.

331
00:11:37,781 --> 00:11:39,074
Great script, by the way.

332
00:11:39,115 --> 00:11:40,950
I really love how quickly
my character

333
00:11:40,992 --> 00:11:42,952
loses his temper,
which I believe

334
00:11:42,994 --> 00:11:45,497
is an established trait
of the Pendari species.

335
00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:48,083
- Uh, yes, the writer
did a fine job.

336
00:11:48,124 --> 00:11:50,043
- Oh, yeah.
I was thinking, though,

337
00:11:50,085 --> 00:11:51,878
you know,
when I enter the battle pit,

338
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,463
maybe I could address
the crowd,

339
00:11:53,505 --> 00:11:55,090
fire 'em up,
kind of like how I do as--

340
00:11:55,131 --> 00:11:57,509
- Love your attitude,
but as our alien of the week,

341
00:11:57,550 --> 00:11:59,552
you know, the role doesn't
allow for improvisation.

342
00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:00,845
- Alien of the--
- Mm-hmm.

343
00:12:00,887 --> 00:12:02,263
{\an8}Oh.

344
00:12:02,305 --> 00:12:04,224
{\an8}That's what the letters
on my chair stand for.

345
00:12:04,265 --> 00:12:06,101
{\an8}- Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't
overthink it, okay?

346
00:12:06,142 --> 00:12:09,104
We have 26 episodes to shoot
this season, so, you know,

347
00:12:09,145 --> 00:12:11,272
got to keep the intergalactic
trains running on time.

348
00:12:11,314 --> 00:12:12,774
- Got it.
- Ooh, no, no, no.

349
00:12:12,816 --> 00:12:13,942
Don't furrow your brow.

350
00:12:13,983 --> 00:12:15,985
It's real bad
for your face bulges.

351
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:25,245
[muttering] Excuse me.

352
00:12:25,286 --> 00:12:27,789
Excuse me.

353
00:12:27,831 --> 00:12:29,499
Can I get some water?

354
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:36,256
.

355
00:12:36,297 --> 00:12:36,548
You?

356
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:38,675
I'm insulted
they would even put you

357
00:12:38,717 --> 00:12:40,218
in the pit against me.

358
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:42,512
You're no bigger
than an Aldebaran Mud Leech.

359
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:45,140
- I must caution you against
dismissing me so lightly.

360
00:12:45,181 --> 00:12:46,850
I possess incredible strength.

361
00:12:46,891 --> 00:12:48,643
- [scoffs]
I think not.

362
00:12:48,685 --> 00:12:50,603
Damon, what are you doing?

363
00:12:50,645 --> 00:12:51,896
You don't shoot rehearsal.

364
00:12:51,938 --> 00:12:53,106
Sorry.

365
00:12:54,649 --> 00:12:57,193
- Okay, so this is where
the battle horn will sound

366
00:12:57,235 --> 00:12:58,737
and the fight starts.

367
00:12:58,778 --> 00:12:59,904
Nathan will lead you

368
00:12:59,946 --> 00:13:01,406
through the exact
fight choreography after,

369
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:05,535
but basically, you exchange
blows, yeah, and...

370
00:13:05,577 --> 00:13:07,370
- I assure you,
this will be a lot easier

371
00:13:07,412 --> 00:13:08,872
if you cease your resistance.

372
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:12,000
- It would be a lot easier
if you ceased your punches.

373
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:13,710
Oh, no, wait,
sorry, my line is,

374
00:13:13,752 --> 00:13:15,754
"I assure you,
it would be a lot easier--"

375
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:17,589
- Let me start again.
- You know what, it's okay.

376
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:19,049
If you flub a line
while we're rolling,

377
00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:20,508
don't stop, just keep going.

378
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:22,010
Okay, we can cut
around it in post.

379
00:13:24,596 --> 00:13:25,889
Yeah.

380
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:27,182
Yeah.

381
00:13:27,223 --> 00:13:28,475
So that's the gist.

382
00:13:28,516 --> 00:13:30,101
If you can just stand
on your first marks,

383
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:31,728
we're gonna tweak some lighting
and get you both in wardrobe.

384
00:13:31,770 --> 00:13:33,438
- Yeah?
- Thanks.

385
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:34,856
- I'm sorry about that.
- Mm--

386
00:13:34,898 --> 00:13:36,066
Kim's right.

387
00:13:36,107 --> 00:13:37,400
I shouldn't
have stopped mid-scene.

388
00:13:37,442 --> 00:13:38,902
- Don't apologize.
It's great you care so much.

389
00:13:38,943 --> 00:13:41,279
- Well, I do give
everything 100%.

390
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:42,906
A lot of guest stars don't.

391
00:13:42,947 --> 00:13:45,033
Andy Dick may as well
have been drunk.

392
00:13:45,075 --> 00:13:46,659
- Andy Dick did
"Star Trek: Voyager"?

393
00:13:46,701 --> 00:13:48,411
- Yep.
- Hey, Jeri.

394
00:13:48,453 --> 00:13:51,581
Your opening line is actually,
"I possess superior strength."

395
00:13:51,623 --> 00:13:52,582
What did I say?

396
00:13:52,624 --> 00:13:54,167
- You said
"incredible strength."

397
00:13:54,209 --> 00:13:55,710
The writer said
your character wouldn't use

398
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:56,836
the word "incredible."

399
00:13:56,878 --> 00:13:59,881
- Ah, okay.
Thanks, Marisa.

400
00:13:59,923 --> 00:14:02,342
- Well, looks like one of us
has lines that matter.

401
00:14:02,384 --> 00:14:04,260
- Trust me, when you're part
of the main cast,

402
00:14:04,302 --> 00:14:05,970
you can't mess
with the "Star Trek" universe.

403
00:14:06,012 --> 00:14:08,098
- Oh, yeah,
I realized that right away

404
00:14:08,139 --> 00:14:09,933
while I was doing
my research online.

405
00:14:09,974 --> 00:14:11,309
People have opinions.

406
00:14:11,351 --> 00:14:13,186
Oh, you are not kidding.

407
00:14:13,228 --> 00:14:15,563
But seriously,
thanks for being so prepared.

408
00:14:15,605 --> 00:14:17,565
Sometimes, an actor's job
is simply to play the role

409
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:18,983
you're given on the show
that you're on.

410
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:21,027
- I got it, know your role--

411
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:23,780
And shut your mouth!

412
00:14:23,822 --> 00:14:24,989
- Wow.
- I'm a big fan.

413
00:14:25,031 --> 00:14:27,325
- [laughs]
- Thank you.

414
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:29,703
<i>- You're hit.</i>
<i>You're bleeding, man.</i>

415
00:14:29,744 --> 00:14:31,705
<i>I ain't got time to bleed.</i>

416
00:14:31,746 --> 00:14:33,248
Nothing beats "Predator."

417
00:14:33,289 --> 00:14:35,125
Arnold's line is my favorite.

418
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:37,335
Get to the choppa!

419
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:38,712
Perfect.

420
00:14:38,753 --> 00:14:40,338
Ugh, let me guess.

421
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:42,590
Jesse Ventura's
chewing up the scenery

422
00:14:42,632 --> 00:14:44,050
with his chewing tobacco,

423
00:14:44,092 --> 00:14:48,138
spitting all on his machine gun
like a...

424
00:14:48,179 --> 00:14:50,140
let me know when it's over.

425
00:14:50,181 --> 00:14:52,976
- I'd like a movie snack.
Do you have any popcorn?

426
00:14:53,018 --> 00:14:54,686
Of course.

427
00:14:54,728 --> 00:14:56,396
Oh, but it's stovetop,

428
00:14:56,438 --> 00:14:58,481
and I'm
kind of a microwave girl.

429
00:14:58,523 --> 00:15:01,568
- I can teach you
how to cook popcorn.

430
00:15:01,609 --> 00:15:03,653
- You know,
I've only done two small roles,

431
00:15:03,695 --> 00:15:06,656
and I already have so much more
appreciation for this stuff.

432
00:15:06,698 --> 00:15:09,075
It would be so cool
to play a role like that.

433
00:15:09,117 --> 00:15:10,368
- You could do that
if you wanted to.

434
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:12,495
Nah, everyone only wants me

435
00:15:12,537 --> 00:15:14,122
to play some version
of a wrestler.

436
00:15:14,164 --> 00:15:15,874
I'm already a wrestler
in real life.

437
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:18,209
What's the point of being one
in another galaxy,

438
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:21,046
or New Orleans,
or wherever "The Net" is set?

439
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:24,799
- Seattle.
"The Net" is set in Seattle.

440
00:15:24,841 --> 00:15:26,468
Listen.

441
00:15:26,509 --> 00:15:28,470
No one is happier
at the success

442
00:15:28,511 --> 00:15:30,555
you've found wrestling than me.

443
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:33,183
If you're happy,
keep doing what you're doing.

444
00:15:33,224 --> 00:15:35,226
You'll hear no complaints
from us.

445
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:37,729
But if this new challenge
is interesting to you,

446
00:15:37,771 --> 00:15:39,147
go after it.

447
00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:41,733
You make it look the way
you want it to look.

448
00:15:41,775 --> 00:15:43,610
There are no fences
around you, Dewey.

449
00:15:45,195 --> 00:15:48,156
<i>- Is it over?</i>
both: No!

450
00:15:48,198 --> 00:15:49,574
Jesse Ventura's great.

451
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:51,242
- Oh, he's good.
He's very good.

452
00:15:51,284 --> 00:15:52,702
Don't let your dad
hear you say that.

453
00:15:52,744 --> 00:15:54,454
- Dad would have been
pretty good in this.

454
00:15:54,496 --> 00:15:56,956
- Mm...
- Okay.

455
00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:59,542
- Great episode of "Star Trek"
last night, Dwayne.

456
00:15:59,584 --> 00:16:02,087
I'm not a Trekkie, but you were
sensational as Blorg.

457
00:16:02,128 --> 00:16:03,254
Thank you, Vince.

458
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:04,839
- I was thinking,
for your next role,

459
00:16:04,881 --> 00:16:08,134
something completely different,
huh, like a comedy.

460
00:16:08,176 --> 00:16:10,178
- Yeah, I love comedy.
- Me too.

461
00:16:10,220 --> 00:16:11,429
Nothing funnier
in the world than someone

462
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:13,348
stepping in dog crap.
[both laugh]

463
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:16,601
If I could make an entire show
of just that, I would.

464
00:16:16,643 --> 00:16:19,187
- I mean, I'd watch that.
- Right?

465
00:16:19,229 --> 00:16:20,522
Ding-dong, who's that?

466
00:16:20,563 --> 00:16:22,982
Oh, no,
there's crap on my shoe.

467
00:16:23,024 --> 00:16:25,485
- If you smell--dog crap.

468
00:16:25,527 --> 00:16:27,570
- Just one after the other,
people stepping in crap.

469
00:16:27,612 --> 00:16:30,323
- [blowing raspberries]
- That's what crap sounds like!

470
00:16:30,365 --> 00:16:32,492
[both laughing]

471
00:16:32,534 --> 00:16:33,993
Anyway, I'm glad you're into it

472
00:16:34,035 --> 00:16:36,705
because I booked you an episode
of "That '70s Show."

473
00:16:36,746 --> 00:16:37,789
Are you serious?

474
00:16:37,831 --> 00:16:39,040
- I don't joke around
when it comes

475
00:16:39,082 --> 00:16:40,709
to the best decade of all time.

476
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:42,043
- I mean,
that's such a funny show.

477
00:16:42,085 --> 00:16:46,506
- What's my role?
- One that only you could play.

478
00:16:46,548 --> 00:16:49,134
<i>- My primetime comedy debut</i>
<i>was not only playing</i>

479
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,928
<i>the role of another wrestler,</i>
<i>but that wrestler</i>

480
00:16:51,970 --> 00:16:53,096
<i>was my dad.</i>

481
00:16:53,138 --> 00:16:54,806
Looking good, son.

482
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:00,395
.

483
00:17:00,437 --> 00:17:01,771
<i>- Even though I was playing</i>
<i>yet another wrestler,</i>

484
00:17:02,814 --> 00:17:04,649
<i>I was really proud</i>
<i>to play my dad.</i>

485
00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:08,194
<i>And he was truly excited</i>
<i>about me playing him on TV.</i>

486
00:17:08,236 --> 00:17:11,656
<i>And of course, as always,</i>
<i>the Soul Man had some notes.</i>

487
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:13,116
- [chuckles]
Now remember,

488
00:17:13,158 --> 00:17:14,826
if you want
to capture my essence,

489
00:17:14,868 --> 00:17:17,412
you need to let your mouth and
your muscles do the talking.

490
00:17:17,454 --> 00:17:18,997
No such thing
as too much talking

491
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:20,373
when you're playing someone
who is that good at it.

492
00:17:20,415 --> 00:17:21,624
- Well, I'm pretty sure
they're gonna want me

493
00:17:21,666 --> 00:17:23,209
to stick to the script,
but don't worry,

494
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:24,544
I'll make you proud.

495
00:17:24,586 --> 00:17:25,920
This is so exciting.

496
00:17:25,962 --> 00:17:27,964
I've never been
on a soundstage before.

497
00:17:28,006 --> 00:17:30,175
- And I just told one
of the lead actresses

498
00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:31,801
I hope she breaks her legs.

499
00:17:31,843 --> 00:17:33,887
- She said that to the woman
that plays the mom.

500
00:17:33,928 --> 00:17:35,388
It was amazing.

501
00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:36,723
Should we head to our seats?

502
00:17:36,765 --> 00:17:38,016
I heard they're handing out
tuna fish sandwiches

503
00:17:38,058 --> 00:17:39,309
before the show.

504
00:17:39,351 --> 00:17:41,227
- We'll be cheering for you,
sweetheart.

505
00:17:41,269 --> 00:17:42,854
- Thanks, Mom.
Love you guys.

506
00:17:42,896 --> 00:17:44,022
Love you too.

507
00:17:44,064 --> 00:17:48,026

509
00:17:51,613 --> 00:17:53,073
Hey.

00:17:53,114 --> 00:17:54,949
<i>[laughter and applause]</i>

516
00:18:06,086 --> 00:18:07,545
Bravo, Dewey!

517
00:18:07,587 --> 00:18:09,714
The only person who
could have done a better job

518
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:12,217
at playing me on screen
than you is me.

519
00:18:12,258 --> 00:18:16,596
- I like Dewey's version of you
better than your version.

520
00:18:16,638 --> 00:18:19,099
Babe, you're really good.

521
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:20,392
I agree.

522
00:18:20,433 --> 00:18:22,227
Your hard work
is starting to pay off.

523
00:18:22,268 --> 00:18:23,478
Thanks, Mom.

524
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:24,604
<i>For the first time,</i>
<i>I felt like</i>

525
00:18:24,646 --> 00:18:25,897
<i>I could see myself</i>
<i>doing a version</i>

526
00:18:25,939 --> 00:18:28,316
<i>of acting the way that</i>
<i>I wanted to do it.</i>

527
00:18:28,358 --> 00:18:29,734
<i>I was also about to get one</i>

528
00:18:29,776 --> 00:18:31,361

529

[phone rings]

530
00:18:33,488 --> 00:18:35,281
- Hello?
- Great show, Bubba!

531
00:18:35,323 --> 00:18:38,159
Now, open your ears!
I write screenplay.

532
00:18:38,201 --> 00:18:40,745
I mail you pages. We win Oscar!

533
00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:42,622
Hollywood champion number one!

534
00:18:42,664 --> 00:18:43,915
<i>That was the call?</i>

535
00:18:43,957 --> 00:18:46,042
<i>- No, that was the call</i>
<i>before the call.</i>

536
00:18:46,084 --> 00:18:47,961
<i>- Oh, it kind of felt</i>
<i>like you were teeing up</i>

537
00:18:48,003 --> 00:18:49,379
<i>the actual call there.</i>

538
00:18:49,421 --> 00:18:51,089
- Well, I can't wait
to read it, Sheiky.

539
00:18:51,131 --> 00:18:53,341
Forrest Gump jabroni actor!

540
00:18:53,383 --> 00:18:54,592
- Tell him
he still owes me money.

541
00:18:54,634 --> 00:18:56,636
- Talk soon.
<i>- Yes, Bubb--</i>

542
00:18:56,678 --> 00:18:58,847
- You didn't tell him.
[phone ringing]

543
00:18:58,888 --> 00:19:00,849
- Wow, the phone's ringing
off the hook.

544
00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:03,226
- Everybody
must have seen the show.

545
00:19:03,268 --> 00:19:05,353
- Hello?
<i>- Hi, is this Dwayne?</i>

546
00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:06,646
Yes, this is Dwayne.

547
00:19:06,688 --> 00:19:08,982
<i>Dwayne, it's Lorne Michaels.</i>

548
00:19:09,024 --> 00:19:12,819
- Hi.
Uh, it's great to talk to you.

549
00:19:12,861 --> 00:19:15,947
[both mouthing]

550
00:19:15,989 --> 00:19:18,783
- I think he said
Bret Michaels from Poison.

551
00:19:18,825 --> 00:19:21,161
<i>- I've been trying</i>
<i>to track you down.</i>

552
00:19:21,202 --> 00:19:23,204
<i>Um, Vince and I were talking,</i>

553
00:19:23,246 --> 00:19:25,457
<i>and he thinks you've got</i>
<i>something special</i>

554
00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:27,417
<i>that would work for us</i>

555
00:19:27,459 --> 00:19:29,961
<i>and that you'd be</i>
<i>a perfect fit.</i>

556
00:19:30,003 --> 00:19:31,087
A fit?

557
00:19:31,129 --> 00:19:32,672
<i>- To host</i>
<i>"Saturday Night Live."</i>

558
00:19:32,714 --> 00:19:34,049
<i>- [laughs]</i>
<i>No way.</i>

559
00:19:34,090 --> 00:19:36,760
So you get the call
that every young comedian

560
00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:38,636
aspires to receive,
but instead,

561
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:40,638
it goes to a wrestler
who has no aspirations

562
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,098
of hosting the show?

563
00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:44,017
- Let me guess, hosting "SNL"
is one of your dreams.

564
00:19:44,059 --> 00:19:45,435
Hell yeah!

565
00:19:45,477 --> 00:19:46,603
And when that call comes,

566
00:19:46,644 --> 00:19:47,687
I'll be ready
with my pre-written

567
00:19:47,729 --> 00:19:49,230
"Wayne's World" sketch.

568
00:19:49,272 --> 00:19:51,399
I play Wayne's
Korean stepfather

569
00:19:51,441 --> 00:19:54,277
who comes home
from the Gulf War.

570
00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:55,528
Oh.

571
00:19:57,322 --> 00:19:58,698
Sounds like a fresh idea.

572
00:19:58,740 --> 00:20:00,325
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

573
00:20:00,367 --> 00:20:02,827
- You want to develop it into,
like, a buddy comedy thing?

574
00:20:02,869 --> 00:20:05,330
- I think it needs a little bit
more to it, but sure.

575
00:20:05,372 --> 00:20:06,664
- Yeah?
- Sure.

576
00:20:06,706 --> 00:20:07,832
- Okay, yeah, me and you.
- Yeah, down the road.

577
00:20:07,874 --> 00:20:09,000
Absolutely.

578
00:20:09,042 --> 00:20:10,293
- Yeah, we'll work on it,
like, tomorrow.

579
00:20:10,335 --> 00:20:12,337
- Down the road.
- Down the road tomorrow, sure.

580
00:20:12,379 --> 00:20:13,797
- [chuckles]
- Okay.

581
00:20:13,838 --> 00:20:17,676
So anyway, you get the call
from Lorne, and then what?

582
00:20:17,717 --> 00:20:20,679
- Mr. Michaels,
I would be truly honored

583
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,181
to host "Saturday Night Live."

584
00:20:23,223 --> 00:20:26,976
<i>Great. Glad to hear it.</i>

585
00:20:27,018 --> 00:20:30,897
- But I would love
to not play a wrestler in it.

586
00:20:32,524 --> 00:20:34,359
<i>Yeah.</i>

587
00:20:34,401 --> 00:20:36,903
<i>I'll give that some thought.</i>

588
00:20:36,945 --> 00:20:38,530
- So they came to you
with an offer to host,

589
00:20:38,571 --> 00:20:40,323
and you came back
to them with terms?

590
00:20:40,365 --> 00:20:41,533
Correct.

591
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:42,826
If I was gonna walk
into a new arena,

592
00:20:42,867 --> 00:20:44,703
then I wanted to be the best
that I could be,

593
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:48,289
and for me, that was way
beyond just being a wrestler

594
00:20:48,331 --> 00:20:50,208
playing a wrestler
for the joke.

595
00:20:50,250 --> 00:20:52,502
<i>And luckily, Lorne agreed.</i>

596
00:20:53,670 --> 00:20:55,171
{\an8}<i>The next thing I knew,</i>

597
00:20:55,213 --> 00:20:58,216
<i>I found myself walking down</i>
<i>a new kind of tunnel.</i>

598
00:20:58,258 --> 00:21:00,677
<i>It reminded me</i>
<i>of just five years earlier,</i>

599
00:21:00,719 --> 00:21:01,803
<i>when I was walking</i>
<i>through the tunnel</i>

600
00:21:01,845 --> 00:21:03,888
<i>to my first arena show.</i>

601
00:21:03,930 --> 00:21:06,016
<i>But this time,</i>
<i>it was the tunnel</i>

602
00:21:06,057 --> 00:21:08,184
{\an8}<i>to the iconic</i>
<i>"Saturday Night Live" stage.</i>

603
00:21:08,226 --> 00:21:12,689
{\an8}<i>- Ladies and gentlemen,</i>
<i>the Rock!</i>

604
00:21:12,731 --> 00:21:14,858
{\an8}- Why'd you stop?
What's wrong?

605
00:21:19,404 --> 00:21:21,031
{\an8}- Excuse me, Jerry?
- Yes, sir.

606
00:21:21,072 --> 00:21:23,158
{\an8}- Let's turn around
and head back to the estate.

607
00:21:23,199 --> 00:21:24,576
{\an8}We're not going home.

608
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:26,411
{\an8}Talking about
standing up to power

609
00:21:26,453 --> 00:21:27,912
{\an8}and asking for what you want,

610
00:21:27,954 --> 00:21:29,748
{\an8}I'm surprised
I didn't think of it sooner.

611
00:21:29,789 --> 00:21:31,541
{\an8}I have a plan that can save
this trade deal.

612
00:21:31,583 --> 00:21:33,001
