[ Ronnie ]
Well, what do you know?

:55:02
It was the cops.
They're keepin' an eye
on the place.

:55:05
One of the neighbors
saw some weirdo hangin' around.

:55:07
[ Audrey ]
Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you.

:55:09
Are you guys
comin'in or what?
Come on, Strider.

:55:13
[ Audrey ]
It's nothing
really, Giles.

:55:20
Shakespeare?
:55:22
Oh, yes, his plays
are full of it.

:55:25
Well, wait a minute.
:55:27
Are you saying that if
Shakespeare was alive today,

:55:30
he'd be doin' things
like Hotpants College?

:55:32
All I'm saying, Ronnie,
:55:34
is that Shakespeare
used bawdy humor
to please the mob in the pit.

:55:39
I never knew that.
:55:42
Yes, and, of course,
he was able to elevate
his material...

:55:45
beyond such limitations...
as have you.

:55:50
I'm not talking about
good acting as if it were,
say, merely good cooking.

:55:56
Oh, by the way, the teriyaki
was delicious, Audrey.

:56:00
Thanks.
:56:02
I'm talking
about a type of acting
that is purely instinctive.

:56:07
You see, Ronnie, you have
something that gives even the
most casual look or gesture...

:56:12
a real intensity.
:56:15
Yeah?
Oh, yes.

:56:18
It came as no surprise to me
when I heard that you'd been
rescued at an early age...

:56:21
from the hell of advertising.
:56:23
It was obvious to me that some
producer, some astute producer,

:56:29
had seen what I saw
when Abigail persuaded me
to see Hotpants College II.

:56:33
I got that role because
I looked like the guy who
played Mikey in the original.

:56:37
Yes, but didn't you completely
reinvent the character
with a mere string of lines?

:56:42
Didn't you make Mikey
the focus of the entire story?

:56:47
Well, I wouldn't
exactly say that.

:56:51
As for your fate
in the pizza parlor, the plastic
tomato and all that, well--

:56:56
[ Laughs ]
:56:58
Well, I don't know.
This may sound absurd, but--
