Yeah. Get in here.

We got work to do.

Here's your first job.

Clean out this closet. Alright?

Half this stuff I don't even use

anymore now that I've gone digital.

I can just take a shot, e-mail it

around the world in 10 seconds.

Ever hear that,

"Shot heard 'round the world?"

That's Eminem, right?

Eminem. what the f***

is wrong with you?!

It's a famous saying.

"Shot heard 'round the world."

That's what I'm aiming for.

Yeah. So, you going

to throw away some of this junk?

This is a collector's item.

My old man gave this to me.

I happen to be very close to him.

What about this?

No. That' my book.

Starting next week

I'm going to take this

around to all the agencies.

Get that high-end work:

Nike, Ralph Lauren...

So you're not going to be

a paparazzi anymore?

I told you, I'm not a paparazzi.

I'm a licensed professional.

- Okay.

- Rule number one...

they're are players and they're

peons. I happen to be a player.

I got nothing

against the paparazzi.

Without them this whole

celebrity game would crumble

like a f***in' house of cards.

- Who buys the pictures?

- Yeah, right.

No, I'm asking you

a question. who buys them?

- Oh, the magazines buy the pictures.

- Magazines.

Who buys the magazines?

People. Why? To see the Stars.

Magazines get rich,

the stars get famous.

All because I get a shot

of K'harma kissing her boyfriend.

You got a picture of that?

No.

I almost did though, except

some a**hole tipped them off!

F***in' a**hole.

You know what I did get?

I got a shot of

Goldie Hawn eating lunch.

Wow! Goldie Hawn.

Yeah. Very classy lady...

and still sexy as sh*t I might add.

Yeah, I want her autograph.

Autographs are for peons.

Try it out. Get in.

- How's that feel?

- This is perfect.

- Comfortable?

- This is great, man.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Feels good, right?

- Yeah.

Now you got your own private room.

Les, I don't know how to thank you.

- I really appreciate it.

- It's alright. Come on!

We got work to do. Come on.

- Hey Trudy, it's Galantine.

- Hey.

I'm just confirming,

you put me on the list, right?

- Yeah.

- Great. Under your name, right?

I got all the gear in the back.

Get the camera out of the bag.

Alright, we take this bad boy

in case we need it later.

Put that in there.

Be very careful.

Tailgate party.

Hey, that's not a toy.

Let me show you something.

Let's say I need to get into one

of these f***in' ritzy parties.

All I got to do is I put this on.

I pour a little water in here

and I get to stroll right in

past these f***in' a**holes.

And I look like a real guest.

That's great.

All right.

Look, rule number one...

don't let anybody crowd me.

Alright?
