And I think we should

just give her a minute.

All right, all right.

I'll go talk to her.

What time is it?

Uh, like 10:
00.

All right, it's as good a time

as any to break for lunch, okay?

- All right.

- All right.

Thanks.

Do you have any water?

Just the juice.

This is the native food

of Denmark, by the way.

- No, it's not.

- Frozen lasagna.

Did you guys put corn

in my coffee?

- Ja, Jurgen. Zat was me.

- Oh, ja, ja.

Zat's how zey drink it in Copenhagen.

- This seat taken?

- Oh, no, go ahead.

Thanks.

- What's up, man?

- Hey.

- You with camera?

- No, I'm, uh...

- He's the writer.

- No sh*t.

You know we're just a bunch

of below-the-line grunts here, right?

Yeah, the creatives are at that table,

over there.

Hey, just ignore that.

Oh, by the way, don't tell him

how much you like his script.

He hates hearing that.

Hey, did you guys check out that weird

filtration system in the basement?

Jurgen thinks that's how

they administered the wacky juice.

- In the water?

- Yeah.

It's like they did

with fluoride in the '60s.

The government just slipped it

into the water supply

without anybody noticing.

What do you know about that?

You're, like, 16

- and from Denmark. Ja. Oh, ja.

- Ja, ja.

Jurgen's like our resident conspiracist.

Hey, Jurgen,

how'd you get this job anyway?

My dad's a friend of Harry's.

They used

to be business partners.

Let me get this straight.

You gave up your entire summer break,

flew over here from Denmark

just to work on this low-budget

piece-of-sh*t movie?

No offense, dude.

Hell yeah, man.

I love the movies.

Oh.

Dude, tell them about that snake

they found in the basement.

Yeah, okay, so when

they were building this set,

they found this snake

in the basement.

Yeah, and it was all coiled up,

trying to swallow its own tail, man.

How screwed up is that?

Oh, you only wish

that you could do that, Darrell.

Yeah, I do.

- Yes, all day.

- That would be awesome.

- Just...

- Sit there on my couch.

- Ouroboros.

- What?

Ouroboros...

the snake devouring its tail.

It's an ancient symbol,

a Jungian archetype.

It represents cyclicality...

the sense that something

can constantly regenerate itself.

Yeah, like I said, you might want

to sit at that table over there.

Hey, don't be such a dick.

Whatever, man.

That basement creeps me out.

Have you been down there, dude?

It's f***ed up, man.

So's this lasagna.

She's not getting back

in the elevator.

What are we gonna do?

We can move back

into the apartment,

pick up some of the shots

with Jack and Rachel.

The DP's gonna need

some time to relight it, though.

Okay.

Andrei, what do you think?

Andrei?

- Yeah, that sounds good.
