00:00Hey!
00:05Hey!
00:07Hey!
00:08Hey!
00:09Do you have to play that thing where we can hear it?
00:12Mom, I have to practice or I'll never sound good.
00:14You'll never sound good because you're playing a bagpipe.
00:20I have an announcement.
00:22The Barn Theater in New Jersey is ours if we want it.
00:25We're not moving to New Jersey.
00:26That's actually a good theater.
00:27Ed is going to offer us a five-year contract.
00:30Wait, what if we don't do enough business at the barn?
00:32Well, then we're screwed.
00:33I vote no, okay?
00:34I have a girlfriend.
00:35Les, how do you vote?
00:36I'm doing.
00:38Okay, then.
00:39Goodbye, Akron.
00:40I will not be back.
00:45This could be the biggest mistake we've ever made.
00:48I hate this school.
00:49No one gets me.
00:50Hey!
00:51How come you never play sports after school?
00:52I work at my parents' theater.
00:55Mom, the show was great.
00:56Yeah, but the house wasn't.
00:58Where was the audience?
00:59Theater, it's all right.
01:00Except it's not real.
01:01Real is so overrated.
01:03You're about to lose everything.
01:05You know, it would be nice if just once you showed a little faith in me.
01:11I will make this work.
01:13I promise.
01:14Can you imagine your mother's face when the money comes in?
01:25Wow.
01:26I wish I knew how to do it.
01:29You will.
01:30Good things are coming, boys.
01:31I can feel it in my bones.
01:33Maybe that's arthritis.
01:35Are you popular in middle school?
01:37Five people are popular in middle school.
01:39I'm not doing any more musicals.
01:41You don't even pay me.
01:42Well, you're not very good.
01:44You have to dream things into happening.
01:48You're either all in or you're not.
01:52I'll be there.
01:53I'll be there for you.
01:54Woo!
01:55I'll be there.
01:56I'll be there.
01:57You are who you are.
01:58That's it.
01:59Things change on a dime in show business.
02:03Go.
02:11Good night.
02:12Don't stop talking.
02:13You don't always get to have the last word, you know.
02:15You're right.
02:16Then stop talking.
02:17I am.
02:19Sweet dreams.
02:20I knew you were going to do that.
