It was all about enabling,

and I realized at that point

I cannot continue to support

your emotional handicap.

- I understand. Okay.

- Let me finish, okay?

Sometimes, I get the feeling I've

done all I could for you, kid.

I mean, I let you share my

crash pad with me for years.

I shared all my contacts

in the biz with you.

Listen, if I could break you off a piece

of this voice and give it to you, I would.

But I can't, because that's

an impossible conceit.

And the truth of the matter is,

it probably wouldn't help you

anyway because, let's face it,

the industry does not

crave a female sound.

Yeah, Dad, you've made me painfully

aware of that my whole life.

I'm not being sexist,

that's just the truth.

Okay.

This whole voice-cracking

problem you've grown into

isn't doing you any

favors either.

But here's what I'm trying

to say, sweetheart. Okay?

You should stick

with the accents.

I mean, that's your thing.

That's what you're good at.

What was that great Russian Star

Wars thing you used to do as a kid?

Yeah, I know the one you're

talking about. But, Dad...

- What was it?

- It was... Don't make me do it.

- Come on.

- I don't want to do it.

Please let me hear it.

Deese are not the droids

you're looking for.

I just love that.

It's so random.

But listen, I can't pay rent

with the freelance

vocal coaching.

- So, why don't we think of

an agreement... - Sweetheart,

not my problem. You understand?

Listen, I'm gonna support

you by not supporting you.

Okay, but what's the timeline on

this? Can you at least let me...

- Look, there's no big hurry.

- Okay, good. Because...

Tonight would be good.

The search is on, my friend.

What's that?

There's a great big epic

coming down the pike.

They wanna bring "it" back.

Copy starts with the

words, "In a world..."

And right now, they're

trying to find their guy.

How can they do that

without LaFontaine?

He coined the phrase, he's the

godfather of the industry.

Enough with that, please! That

Don LaFontaine stuff. All right?

"Donnie was the... Was the

godfather of the industry."

"Donnie had perfect tone."

"Donnie had a big dick."

Donnie this, Donnie that!

All right, the guy was the best.

You think I don't know that?

No, Sam, that's

not what I meant.

I know what you meant. I understand.

It's just... It's just...

What is it?

I'm sorry, Gustav.

It's just hard.

I know.

I know I'm not as

good as he was.

You know what? You.

You're their guy.

- That's right.

- Sam...

If they want me to do it, sure.

I wrote the book. I

lived that life.

I'm getting a Lifetime Achievement

Award for Christ's sake.

And the fact of the matter is, I could
