Are you listening

to a word we've said?

We're on opposite

pages right now.

Like, this page right here says...

It's got a big giant dick on it.

And it says, "The movie blowed."

All right? This here, "What's

your favorite part of the film?"

"The bad acting."

That's why we have

these editors.

So they can fix the bad acting.

What... What now?

It's morning time.

It's morning time.

Mmm. Do you need

that light on?

Yeah. I need light

to see things.

Yeah?

Hello, b*obs.

I love the smell of b*obs

in the morning.

It's great.

Thank you.

How many times did you snooze

through the alarm this morning?

Like 45, 50?

I'm having a really hard

time getting up lately.

- Mmm-hmm.

- How was the screening?

- It went okay.

- Yeah?

Everything went

better than I feared.

I think we got a lot of, um...

You know...

I feel like if I talk about it I'm not

going to be able to go back to sleep.

Well, then go back to sleep.

Okay.

You know, I can't help but think that

if our roles were reversed right now

I would be a lot

more considerate

and courteous than you're

being right now to me.

And you're somehow punishing me for

being able to sleep in later than you.

James Dean swag, leather

jacket, white T-shirt

Rolled up sleeves, nigga

lookin' like a greaser

The time has come.

Say goodbye to

Rodney the Doorman.

What are you doing?

- You know what I'm doing.

- No!

What are you doing? That's Rodney's

moment to shine, right there.

Are you serious?

The movie's 20 minutes

too long, Darryl.

All right? The fifth

reel's dragging.

This guy's monologue has been on

the chopping block since day one.

- Yo!

- We talked about this.

This is not even

a bad scene, man.

I'm not saying it's a bad scene, it just

doesn't fit in this particular movie.

Look, this is why the

good Lord created DVDs.

Right? For deleted scenes

just like this one.

Yo, this brother

does a good job.

- A real good job.

- This who does a good job?

- This brother.

- You're gonna make it racial now?

I'm not making it racial, man.

This is Rodney's moment to

shine right here, okay?

This is Morgan Freeman

trailer talk right here.

No, look, she's already

made her mind up.

She loves Paul, she's gonna marry

Paul, he adds nothing new to that.

He's just getting in the way of

the whole ending of the movie.

- You're wrong.

- Look, I don't get pleasure out of doing this.

- You do! I know you do.

- I don't.

You knew I liked this,

and you wanna cut it out.

Look, think of it this way.

We're like surgeons... This is bullshit.

You've said this before.

We're like surgeons, and

this is malignant growth,

and we need to splice it out.

Did I ever tell you this?

Daniel Schechter

Daniel S. Schechter (born 1962 in Miami, Florida) is an American psychiatrist known for his clinical work and research on intergenerational transmission or "communication" of violent trauma and related psychopathology involving parents and very young children. His published work in this area following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York of September 11, 2001 led to a co-edited book entitled "September 11: Trauma and Human Bonds" (2003) and additional original articles with clinical psychologist Susan Coates that were translated into multiple languages and remain among the very first accounts of 9/11 related loss and trauma described by mental health professionals who also experienced the attacks and their aftermath Schechter observed that separation anxiety among infants and young children who had either lost or feared loss of their caregivers triggered posttraumatic stress symptoms in the surviving caregivers. These observations validated his prior work on the adverse impact of family violence on the early parent-child relationship, formative social-emotional development and related attachment disturbances involving mutual dysregulation of emotion and arousal. This body of work on trauma and attachment has been cited by prominent authors in the attachment theory, psychological trauma, developmental psychobiology and neuroscience literatures more…
