00:00Yeah, so Mike, just take a left when you see the big Hasbro sign, you want to enter conference
00:26room four.
00:27Look, I told you already, Lorenzo, this is getting ridiculous, I'm not doing it.
00:31You're going to have to stop asking me, okay?
00:33Okay, buddy, just head through that door and we can work things out.
00:36Just go right on in.
00:37Michael, glad you could meet with me today.
00:51Change of plans, but Lorenzo sends his regards.
00:55Right.
00:57Listen, Steve, Lorenzo has been on my ass for weeks, and I just keep telling him I'm
01:02not making another Transformers movie.
01:06Every one of them takes years off my life.
01:08I'm not doing it.
01:10End of discussion.
01:11Oh, Michael, we've had this discussion before, haven't we?
01:14Every time there's a new Transformers movie, you come to tell me you're not going to do
01:17it.
01:18What do I always tell you?
01:20This is where the money is, Michael.
01:22Last one made billions of fans, loved it.
01:25I know you love money.
01:26If we want any chance of a fourth movie succeeding, we need you behind the wheels.
01:31You got what it takes, kid.
01:32You got the formula.
01:33Come on, what do you say?
01:34Look, don't get me wrong, I like making money, okay?
01:39I mean, you know me, right?
01:42But Steve, I've just got a new small film, Greenblatt.
01:48It's a passion project.
01:50It's a true story about failing and trying again.
01:56You know what that's like, right?
01:58Is this about pain and gain?
02:02This isn't going to make any money.
02:03It's a total flop.
02:04If you don't do Transformers, what am I going to do, huh?
02:07Look, Steve, I don't care about making money anymore.
02:10I want to make films that I care about, not the one that's going to make the most money.
02:15You need money to make films, Michael.
02:17That's why you need to do Transformers, so that I can...
02:21We can keep making things.
02:24You know, Michael, Paramount is going to be very angry.
02:27Very angry, indeed.
02:30I mean, I hate to say it, but they might even drop Pain and Gain.
02:35Steve.
02:48Alright.
02:52If I get to make Pain and Gain first, I'll sign on for another Transformers movie.
03:03Great!
03:05Best decision you've ever made.
03:07I'll have someone write you up a contract tomorrow.
03:10Nice one, buddy.
03:12Good luck on Pain and Gain.
