00:00 If they do see thee, they will murder thee.
00:03 Alack, their lies in power are more than thine eye than twenty other swords.
00:06 Look thou but sweet, and I am proof against their enmity.
00:09 [snoring]
00:11 Stop! Stop, stop!
00:13 Okay, we need to fix this right now.
00:16 I don't understand. What's wrong?
00:18 What's wrong?
00:19 Your chemistry on stage isn't that bad.
00:20 Well that's great, because our personalities suck.
00:23 I'm sorry, Logan, that the whole world can't revolve around you.
00:25 Yeah, well I'd worry more about your lines rather than my perfection.
00:29 That was an improvement from the other night.
00:31 And Logan?
00:32 Still not incorporating the notes, I see.
00:35 You're welcome.
00:36 God bless America.
00:37 Okay guys, hopefully you're all rested from last night.
00:40 I'd really like to run tonight's performance with no stops.
00:43 Where's Henry?
00:44 Has anyone seen Henry?
00:45 Where the fuck is Henry?
00:47 I'm here.
00:48 Hmm, tough crowd I see.
00:51 Prepare her wife...
00:53 ...wife, against this, our wedding day.
00:58 I'm gonna quit this fucking show.
01:00 Your opening monologue got cut.
01:02 You cut my lines?
01:03 Keep up your shit, and I'll cut a lot more.
01:05 Your eyes match the color of your shirt.
01:07 My eyes are brown.
01:09 What is all this?
01:11 Is this where my money's going to?
01:13 Where are the set pieces? Where is everything?
01:15 We're cutting your budget.
01:16 What?
01:17 We have an impressive lineup of shows this season.
01:20 Big shows.
01:21 They're gonna require a lot of attention.
01:23 It's crucial they receive the proper funding.
01:26 What's up, motherfuckers?
01:27 Are you really going on stage looking like that?
01:29 Why not?
01:30 Someone a lot older than you should be playing the part of the nurse.
01:34 Like Francine, of course.
01:37 Where I come from, the director is the first to arrive and the last to leave.
01:42 The show's making progress?
01:44 Progress?
01:45 Is all this worth it?
01:46 Get the entire weight of the show on your shoulders.
01:49 You've never performed live in front of an audience before.
01:53 You don't understand what it's like to be in the spotlight on stage.
01:57 All your glory.
01:59 Are we planning a takeover here?
02:00 Someone needs to take back control of this production, Francine.
02:04 And if that requires a few strategic moves on my part, I don't see the harm in it.
02:08 [music]
02:31 Hey, Logan.
02:32 You think you're better than us?
02:34 Yeah.
02:35 Yeah.
02:35 (upbeat music)
