-You told them we'd make this movie?
-That's right, I did.

:20:16
-You have to tell them.
-Tell them what?

:20:19
-We're not gonna make the movie.
-Dave, I made them a promise.

:20:23
How will you make the movie
with Kit Ramsey? He said no.

:20:26
You don't think I worked that out?
:20:29
We'll make the movie
with Kit Ramsey, except....

:20:32
-Except what?
-Except he won't know he's in it.

:20:36
What?
:20:38
We secretly follow him around
with a camera.

:20:40
Our actors walk up to him
and say their lines.

:20:42
And he's in our movie,
and we don't have to pay him.

:20:45
-What's he gonna say?
-What difference does it make?

:20:49
It's an action movie.
All he's gotta do is run.

:20:52
He runs away from the aliens,
he runs toward the aliens.

:20:55
I want to show you something.
:20:58
Got this all worked out, I think.
:21:02
There are six major scenes with Kit.
The ones in red.

:21:05
He's not in any of the other scenes...
:21:07
...so we just shoot those
with our own actors on our own time.

:21:10
Bingo, we've got a movie.
:21:13
That's crazy.
:21:15
But we're desperate.
:21:17
Why don't you wait till you get a star
who wants to be in it?

:21:21
I'm 49 years old.
:21:23
Admittedly, I could get away
with 44, 41, maybe 38.

:21:27
But when you hit 50,
they don't hire you anymore.

:21:30
It's like they can smell 50.
:21:32
What's that?
:21:36
When I was 10,
I knew I wanted to make movies...

:21:38
...but I knew no one
was going to give me that.

:21:40
So I started putting away
one dollar every week of my life.

:21:44
If I missed a week, I made it up later,
from age 10 on.

:21:48
And now, you're looking at enough
to get us started.

:21:52
$2,184.
:21:56
But movies cost millions of dollars
to make.

:21:58
That's after gross net deduction
profit percentage...
