She can't be pulled up on this.

Is that right?

- Right.

- Okay, yeah, well, that's a problem.

We got five cameras

going in various places...

on these big screens

all around that you can see.

We're rackin' the money in

comin' in...

gettin' the people comin' in

and then we, you know--

If they want to pay more,

they can be in the film themselves.

We have live acts

goin' on all the time.

We can run silent here,

and everybody can stop talkin'.

We can shoot a picture over here.

-Hey, Matt.

-We're makin' another movie called Nana.

Ever see Nana, the old French film?

- You all right?

- I'm all right.

- You seen Annie?

- No, man.

- Is this bar open?

- Yeah, what do you want?

This is a whole functioning,

like, film place.

Something cold.

That's what we're selling.

That's the theme of the place.

We're gonna generate

movies outta here.

Something wet.

You'd be lucky to get

into the basement door.

Keep it fluid. Don't make it too jumpy
