to break it to you,

but not everybody knows

your origin story.

You know what?

Why don't you just skip

the hack questions

and go right to something good?

All right. Good questions, huh?

How come you're not funny anymore?

And what's up with this wedding?

I mean, it seems really out of control.

Who the f*** are you?

You don't know me. Are you my agent?

You had your kid so young

you guys share math class,

and you're judging me?

You're asking me if my relationship

- with my fiancee is real.

- Yes.

Wait, hold on a second.

It's my career move.

Go on.

Hey, honey.

- Hey, baby.

- What's going on?

Yeah, no. I'm here at the place.

And it looks sick.

It's like epic, babe, it's epic.

It's a story.

Yeah, we're doing the blocking

and I'm looking at head shots

of flower girls.

She's got buck teeth.

Is my stand-in as nervous as I am?

Stop it.

Everything looks just great, okay?

I just wish you were here to see it.

How's your press going?

It's going okay

when they ask about the movie.

Baby, don't worry

about what they're saying.

Your movie is way over their heads.

Did you pick up your tux?

No, not yet. I'm running a little late.

I look bad, you look bad.

Champagne, Mr. Allen?

Yeah, sure.

Are you gonna drink that,

Mr. Ankle Bracelet?

I always say yes.

'Cause whenever you say no,

people want an explanation.

Yeah, I'm the same way with meth.

I just take it.

Is it true that Erica

helped you get clean?

Do you even know what my movie's about?

It's about Dutty Boukman,

a self-educated slave

who, once in Haiti,

became one of the leaders

of the revolution

where Haitian slaves

killed over 50,000 whites.

Yay, dead white people.

Dutty did not shut up and play nice.

You know, normally, after someone says

they saw your movie,

they give you some sort of opinion,

you know...

They go, "I saw your movie

and I thought it was good."

And you know, sometimes

they don't like your movie and they go,

"I saw your movie

and I thought it was interesting."

Yeah, it was interesting how

you ended the movie before you showed

how the French had cut his head off

and paraded it around the country.

But I'd like to ask you

this question first.

How do you think being sober

has affected your career?

It hasn't.

I think it has. I know it has.

I mean, really.

What do you know about sobriety?

What do I know about sobriety?

What don't I know?

"God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change...

"...the courage

to change the things I can

"and the wisdom to not smoke crack."

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Is that more research,

or are you in recovery?

Four years.

Four years? I'm four years.

I drank everything, it didn't matter.
