I was a failure, and I'd get
very sad and depressed about it...

:00:15
and I can't be that no more,
:00:18
'cause I really feel
like I betrayed myself big time.

:00:21
I know when I was growing up
I had all the potential in the world.

:00:24
Now I'm back to being Mark
who has a beer in his hand...

:00:28
and is thinking about
the great American script and movie.

:00:31
And this time, I cannot fail.
I won't fail. It's not in me.

:00:35
You don't get second chances
and mess 'em up. You'd be a fool to.

:00:38
Not just finishing films or
getting some money, but it's right now.

:00:42
I feel like it's five,
ten, fifteen years ago...

:00:45
and now I've got the same options again,
and this time, I'm not gonna fail.

:00:48
This time, it's most important
not to fail, just to drink and dream...

:00:52
but rather, to create and complete.
:00:55
When did you first get involved
and how and why?

:00:59
Well, I think I had done
a radio show with Mark first.

:01:04
As part of the radio show, he mentioned
other projects he was doing.

:01:09
Not the eleventh hour.
This is the twelfth hour.

:01:12
Lisa and Uncle Ed, radio show.
:01:15
"Dear girl, do you know what you possess
in your hand and its capabilities?

:01:20
Do you have
any reasonable semblance--"

:01:24
What we're doing right here--
It's past 3:00. It's--

:01:28
Oh, my God, it's twenty after 3:00.
:01:31
We've got to get these pages printed
and get them straight to the copier.

:01:35
We've got madmen putting
scarecrows up front. God knows why.

:01:39
They have no purpose to this show,
but I like to keep the troops motivated.

:01:43
Idle hands are know to be the devil's
workshop, so we wanna keep things along.

:01:48
Sitting here,
you're asking me questions.

:01:51
I'm trying to get this finished.
I've got people walking around.

:01:55
I wish I could give 'em destinies,
but I have to adhere to this keyboard.
