wondering what you're doing...

No, it's fine.

Dolphins use wave-lengths too,

they're smart in the sea.

We live in the earth.

They communicate,

since they don't blah-blah-blah...

Gloria, would you rather live

with your mommy

or with your daddy?

I don't wanna live with Dad.

Why, Gloria?

Every time my dad is on a TV Show,

my friends make fun of me.

- But you love your daddy?

- Yes.

But you rather stay

with your mom.

I want them to stop

making fun of me.

Thank you, Gloria.

You may be excused.

I think it's November

There's no special

requirements,

you don't have to

do any training,

You don't have to be in

any kind of good shape...

They'll put you in

shape on the shoot.

- The commission?

- Ahn?

- What's your commission?

- Normal.

No, no. The one I was...

but I'll take 8.

They'll kill my career,

those guys.

You get good money, they send me

to Bulgaria, the f***ing factory.

They're making the movie for what?

A Million dollars?...

No, no!

You're exaggerating...

With the 30% sales fee...

You're exaggerating that.

This movie is huge in Asia!

I know,

Foreign, 30%:
1.8

producing fee:

Why do you do this sh*t to yourself?

That's my job...

I get paid 4 million dollars,

how much is left for the picture?

Come on, man! That is my job.

Let me worry about that.

I would take less money

and put me in a f***ing Studio!

If they get me for free,

one movie only, for free, "Van Damme".

It's worth at least

They pay me scale,

at least I would be in a big movie

and would give me the chance...

And you have those

contacts with the Studio!

What's going on here?

Wait a minute, you're not

seeing the big picture...

No, the big picture,

you're selling packages!

Yeah, but some there's

a director involved,

and there's a cinematographer

involved, what's the matter?

Jeff, how many years you've known me?

Once in your life,

put me in a Studio!

Are you bullshitting

me or what?

I mean, I've never done bad by you!

I've always done the right thing by you!

And that's no bullshit.

Look... You're an international

f***ing movie star!

Name me another

international movie star.

You work all the time,

you're well protected...

I lost my daughter.

You're gonna get over that.

Remember Shakespeare:

"The time and the hours

through the longest day...

...everything passes "

You've gotta believe me

here, man, life goes on.

Especially in this town...

Stop it.

Stop it.

You want to

smoke a joint?

Jean-Claude, come on,

it was a joke!

Look, can't you take a joke?

Don't forget:
you start

shooting on November 10th.

I love you, baby!

Keep that mojo working!

...the check

you made bounced.

- What do you mean?
