most of the commercial,

and it's all on this reel.

We'll fix the rest in post.

Anything can be fixed in post.

In one of my movies,

I wrote the plot in post.

Uh, excuse me, Nigel.

Vera, a director always delivers

and never quits.

There goes the footage.

Augh! I quit! I quit!

You can't quit.

We have a one-day film permit,

and the house goes back

to New York tonight.

Au revoir,

as they say in France

and some parts of Canada!

Good job today, lemmings,

but let's not get too comfortable.

Yup, there's one more down there.

Oh, sorry about that.

You guys gotta speak up, seriously.

If you're gonna go to the bottom,

tell somebody.

Let's not completely relax

until "Pretty in Pink"

heads back to America.

Okay, Vera,

you're a problem solver.

When you're faced with a problem,

what do you usually do?

You solve it!

If only I had some seals and ice

and, uh, are there penguins

up here?

Sea lion! Hi!

Please come back.

I need your help with this shot.

Please?

It's a seal, you generalist.

Humans think all animals

look the same.

Ouch! Cracked driveway.

Not a good selling point.

Hey, the Arctic comes as-is.

Who said that?

Mommy.

Sorry, honey.

Mommy couldn't call you back.

I was busy putting out a fire.

The Arctic is on fire?!

Wait, so you're melting it now?

No, no, not real fires.

Everything is fine, sweetie.

I'm totally fine.

Wha?

Oh, no!

Move it, lady!

Oh, no.

A polar bear!

Really? Oh, they're amazing.

Ursus Maritimus.

I think he's charging me.

Is that bad?

Look it up on the Internet.

It says, "When confronted

with a polar bear,

assert dominance

and stand your ground."

I don't think it's working.

Let me call you back, honey.

Mommy has an idea. Love you.

Tired of suburbia?

Come to the Arctic, where every day

is a safari in the snow.

All you need to do is step

outside your front door, literally.

Waterfront property now available.

You're welcome!

Mr. Greene, we've had

some problems up here.

Oh, Vera, my dear-a,

there are no problems,

only messages from the universe.

Om...

Say it with me, Vera.

Om...

Om...

Mr. Greene, the director quit!

What?!

I knew you shouldn't have hired

that overpaid, pretentious--

Okay, how are you gonna fix this?

How are you gonna fix

your fault? Hmm?

Well, I've been filming all day,

and I got some really great

footage of a polar bear

that almost attacked me.

You've been filming?

That is so cute.

I'm sure you think

you're a regular Scorsese.

All right, I need something people

might actually wanna watch.

Wait a tick. I love it.

I love it. I love it!

This bear is a star.

"Safari in the snow."

Genius of me.

This will definitely get me approval
