How do I say it?

- Masculine, virile...

- F*** off.

How's my little guy?

It's set:
you go on first.

The chimes ring,

the show starts and you're on.

- What about Alphonso?

- Forget about Alphonso.

At 12:
00 people want to see you.

We get the prime spot.

At 1:
00 the old fart

for the grannies is on.

A little respect for Alphonso,

he's a great singer.

Sure, but you're on first.

I just swung it with Bentez.

Teeth!

Listen:
The photos of the

madwoman at the mall.

- What about them?

- Problem solved. Kaput.

- Did you buy them?

- No.

- Then what?

- Even better than that.

I paid a hacker to wipe

her phone and computer.

- Can you do that?

- The Secret Service can.

It was as simple

as sending an email with a virus

that deletes everything.

Does that cost a lot?

What we charge for a gig.

- That much?

- It can't happen again, Adanne.

It won't, don't worry.

- Please.

- I promise.

Get it into your head.

it's not the 70s,

you can't go around

with your fly open.

People film everything now,

then you're on Youtube

and a two million people

have seen your cock.

Two million?

If even half buy my disc...

Don't you get it?

You're a teen idol,

so you get brand endorsement.

If you're caught humping

on the Net,

"humping" meaning "f***ing",

forget Coca-Cola, Nike,

Pepsi, all of it.

God!

God!

God!

What would I do without you?

Aw, stop it.

Yes, Benitez.

No, it's non-negotiable.

We went through this, man.

But how?

My dear... Benitez.

After the ads?!

People have already gone out!

Little guy!

Relax, honey, it's alright.

He threw coffee in his face.

Don't go in, Yuri,

there's nobody he wants to see.

I'm not nobody.

I took the scissors away from him,

but he stabbed me with a pen.

Let me see.

If I'm late, it'll be worse.

Call him 'sir'.

and avoid eye contact.

I know.

I've been working for him

my whole life.

You're late.

Terribly sorry, sir.

I brought your meds.

I had to go into Madrid for them.

- You left me alone. Again.

- It won't happen again.

A busload of your Dutch fans

held me up.

They gave me flowers for you.

Yuri, why are we here tonight?

- To promote your new album?

- No.

To relaunch your image?

Excuse me?

I mean... update it.

- Is there a problem with my image?

- Not at all, sir.

We're not relaunching anything.

We're here for what's ours.

Yes, sir.

We have to come on

just after the chimes.

Talk to Bentez

and settle this before I sing.

It's in your contract.

Really? Read it.

"The singer... will go on first...".

It clearly says so.

Read the fine print.

"...as long as the circumstances

of the taping

do not mean rescheduling

the timing".

Something always

reschedules the timing!
