For Your Consideration (2006) Edit

A little piece of land, far away from here...

A lot of things. But, look...

A woman producer.

A wonderful story.

Absolutely not. Now, Victor, let me ask you something.

Absolutely, absolutely. Here on Chillaxin'.

Actors acting.

All I'm saying is have it there, don't shove it down people's throats.

All of it's done.

All right, everybody, back to work.

All right, well, my first instinct says it reminds me of my family.

All right.

All right. We've got a couple of wonderful actors coming up on the show this morning.

Amy wouldn't understand. She'd just think there was snakes.

Amy wouldn't understand. She'd think there'd be snakes.

An actor of my stature, 40 years in the business?

An industry noted for not having a backbone.

And But no one really

And action.

And action.

And because there were so many surprises, Cindy, I thought to myself...

And Cindy and I will be on the set of Home for How to pronounce?

And congratulations on almost being nominated. That's exciting.

And cut.

And did you make out the report?

And dolly.

And guess what, they usually don't.

And here to help demonstrate this fantastic new product...

And Home for Thanksgiving? I think it's my favorite film.

And I don't mean to be the leader, but I am.

And I recognize Victor Allan Miller.

And I say that on behalf of myself and all your fans.

And I think a lot of people might feel that way.

And I think that the voters can smell the fear. It's like dogs.

And I you.

And I, for one, can't say thank you enough.

And I'll say, "Fuck you.

And I'm feeling a lot better about my accent.

And I'm glad to report they are not only alive and well...

And it kicks off Awards season.

And it reminds me of this little movie that started out as practically nothing...

And it seems that sentiment alone will not get you that coveted golden statue.

And it's all inclusive. It includes everyone, no matter what religion.

And it's got a tremendous amount of symbolic...

And more specifically, he said that he thought...

And now I have it here on paper. Real paper.

And now the nominations for Best Actress in a Motion Picture.

And now, Chuck Porter and Cindy Martin.

And once again, we have to rely on Chuck and Cindy's crystal ball...

And settle in. Roll sound. Okay. Rain up.

And she risked it all, including her life...

And she'll come home because it's Purim.

And she's left feeling comfortable in her own skin.

And so a high of 79 in Los Angeles with a low of 67.

And so with a few little tweaks here and there, you know...

And so you ran.

And that's That's the beauty of that.

And there seems to be two other faces fighting for recognition.

And Victor Allan Miller, the venerable Broadway veteran...

And we are moving on.

And we kept going. And remember the mumbling we did.

And we stop. It's like musical chairs...

And what does a daughter do for her mama?

And what exactly did they do with the diapers?

And when I actually got around to reading the coverage...

And wouldn't you know it? They both turned up in exactly the same place.

And you couldn't see me for who I was.

And you had that scene where you punched that little girl in the face.

And you know what, Brian? You're not confused.

And you, Shmuel?

And you'll never believe who was the salesman.

And you'll shep noches later In my tent"

And, of course, this is just a gay romp.

And, oh, yes, I did meet a nice fella.

Anything funny that happened?

Anyway, all around, it's gonna be a pretty hot day and not very much wind.

Anyway, she got bored with that and ended up...

Anyway, thought I'd just share that, for whatever it's worth.

Are you a natural blond?

Are you seeing this? What is this about? What is this about?

Aren't these things wonderful?

Ask yourself why the naked mole rat mother allows 30 babies at once...

Because four out of five of those girls are gonna lose, bigtime.

Because I got 500 buffalo I'm teaching how to fly.

Because I wanna be able to crosscut after.

Because it starts out as a wordsmith's medium.

Because it's kind of hypocritical to call you Victor.

Because the Haman I was trying to protect you from, Rachel...

Because you are so distinguished as the wiener...

Because you gotta be somebody to sell these balls.

Ben Connelly for Whispers in the Attic...

Big day for all of you.

Both for Home for Thanksgiving.

Brian? Brian, it's Corey. Corey Taft and Associates.

But as my proud ancestors, the Choctaw, say...

But I could be a woman who's taken good care of herself.

But I have been hit. Been hit a couple of times.

But in every single way

But it seems my name has been mentioned...

But Marilyn Hack is delivering a performance sculpted by tools...

But once the word came out, I was rooting for you.

But right now I don't think film is what we should be focusing on.

But the problem is, I don't see a vision.

But there's...

But these two have an intellect behind whatever it is they're doing there.

But wait. Were you there for him?

But we're not filming today, I thought I'd drop by, say hello...

But what went wrong? Why no nomination?

But where did she go? She got lost.

But you are so full of yourselves.

But you know these producers, they have their own take on things.

But you know what? I have to tell you that when I was a very little girl...

But you know what? I'd be

But you wouldn't have it. You wouldn't have any of it.

But, which brings me to, I heard a rumor that you two are:

By drowning out the sound Of Haman's name

Bye. I'm so excited for you. Bye.

C.J. Simon...

Call me, Taft, and I will call him. Okay?

Callie Webb, you had to play the daughter...

Can I help you? Are you a member of the union?

Can you do that without touching me?

Can you hear them?

Can't believe you keep this in your purse.

Certified degree of Indian blood. It's on my wall, kemo.

Chew upon that.

Chuck Porter, Hollywood Now, saying, fade out.

Chuck Porter, Hollywood Now. Would you all be an angel...

Cindy, who do you see for Best Actor?

Come around.

Come in. I got so much food. Come on.

Come on. Okay.

Comfort, riches, power.

Congratulations, my young friend.

Corey, good job.

Corey, what is it, Pioneer Days at Moorpark this weekend?

Could have been your nocturnal labors.

Could you instead of referring to me as "guys"...

Could you step back, physically?

Cynthia Chapman in Pride of Plymouth Rock.

Daddy, Sam, I'd like you to meet my...

Dark Horse.

Diamond Pawnbroker on Sterling and Fifth.

Did he just say Oscar buzz at Victor?

Did you get a chance to see the last take?

Did you give him everything he needed?

Didn't say it out loud. In here.

Difficult to translate it. Basically, we don't have a blanket.

Do I make myself clear?

Do you believe this? Do you believe any of it?

Do you kids like to use the World Wide "Interweb"?

Do you know how tight my aperture is right now? Have you any idea?

Do you like restaurants? You like wine. Do you like restaurants?

Do you two live near each other?

Do you wanna go to a restaurant?

Does anybody out there know Victor's day job as an actor?

Don't assume that they don't have a drop of Indian blood.

Don't assume they know the plot. Don't assume that they have living parents.

Don't make assumptions about the talent. Don't assume that the talent can hear well.

Don't think about it.

Don't you wanna know more about me?

Ever notice, like, a kind of a weird smell around here?

Every aspect of the movie, I think, is represented.

Everybody stay where they are, okay?

Everyone, keep up the good work. Tune into our show Friday night...

Everyone, quiet, please.

Exactly. And Brian, I love that thing.

Excuse me, guys. Fifteen minutes, we'll be ready for you on set.

Excuse me. Miss Hack, Miss Hack, permission to speak with you?

Excuse me. Sorry.

Fairly taste the night, can't you?

Favorite film of the year.

Fifteen and five strapped to the gurney.

Filmtattle.com or one of those celluloid...

First of all, it's been so creative for us.

First, you're never gonna guess who I ran into today.

For me, something you can get into and out of.

For Miss Callie Webb? Don't say, "Who?"

Fun is where you find it.

Gaze upon this bountiful and beauteous place.

Gentlemen, welcome.

Give Victor Allan Miller fans the star they've been waiting for.

Go for the A one or the A two, the Ashkenazi palette.

Go to one of the bigger agencies. Okay? Because I

God bless you all. Victor, keep plugging at your career...

God, that was the smell of sin.

Good evening America, and anyone else who can understand the king's English.

Good, because I gotta take this, Victor. Look, stop by the office any time.

Good? He's this close from the A list.

Great. Now, to the untrained eye...

Guess who they want on their show tomorrow morning.

Guess who. Hi.

Hack, Marilyn Hack. Stage 11.

Haman will be punished And the **** will all be saved

Hang on. Simi, hold all my calls.

Happy addition tomorrow morning, you and Marilyn Hack.

Have a good one.

Have you ever been to ? You travel a lot or...?

He always was the problem

He and I worked on The Jerry Jeckel Show together.

He said, "Oscar" and "Victor" in the same breath, didn't he?

He thinks there's gonna be Oscar buzz around Victor?

He told his wife Queen Esther "Don't fabrent

He was cradling my instep and looked me in

He'd have to have had his guts removed and his teeth to have it better.

He's gonna get a lot of work from this.

He's right. I could have written that.

He's running naked through tombstones. He finds out he's gay.

He's the star of the upcoming new movie, Home for Thanksgiving...

Head of the class. Told you I'd get one right.

Hear, hear.

Hello, blondie.

Hello, everybody.

Hello, Skip. Hello, Sanchez. You look nice today, Sanchez.

Hello.

Hello. Well, how about getting it right, for once?

Hello. Where's Richard?

Her name is Mary Pat.

Here we are in January, with the Oscars around the corner.

Here's what I'd like to do.

Hey, hey. Hey, now.

Hey. Sorry about that.

Hi, Callie. Chuck Porter...

Hi, darling.

Hi, hi, good morning.

Hi, this is Brian, please leave me a message.

Hi.

Hi. You okay in there?

Hold it just a second. I gotta take this. Yeah?

Home for Purim.

Home for Purim.

Home for Purim. And from what we hear...

Home for Thanksgiving.

Home for Thanksgiving.

Honestly, Chuck, I haven't really thought about it.

Honey, you killed me. When was the last time you saw that?

How could I think I'd win if I'm not nominated?

How did it feel when you thought you were gonna get a nomination?

How has the transition been from writing for the stage to writing for screen?

How long do you think you can stay?

How's Mama?

I am me, Rachel Pischer.

I am not dodging your questions. I'm trying to

I am not you, Mama.

I called you. You didn't return my message.

I can see right through you

I can't speak for the painted whore next to him.

I could see it. I could see us.

I didn't even get nominated.

I didn't know what I was saying.

I didn't mean to make such a big deal out of it.

I didn't think it was exactly as it should be.

I didn't want your life. I didn't wanna be in a kitchen...

I don't I don't run around

I don't act for trophies.

I don't believe this.

I don't even want to know what's happening. What?

I don't give two hoots what Doc Silverstein says.

I don't have much time! Let's put the toys down!

I don't know. It just blows around.

I don't know. Maybe it's me.

I don't need anybody. I don't need you.

I don't rightly know, Daddy.

I don't run around going, "I'm a Gentile, look at my foreskin."

I don't see anything wrong with both of us being nominated. Don't see why not.

I don't shove it down your throat, because I don't care.

I don't think she's quite ripened yet.

I don't think you have that problem. I've seen cut footage.

I don't think you understood what was happening.

I don't understand why, after 40 years in the business...

I don't want anyone to know what I look like from the back...

I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I feel like it's ambiguous. I don't think it's clear that I'm gay.

I finally get off early and you're here. I'm so happy.

I forgot to mention. My girlfriend was on the Internet last weekend...

I got it.

I gotta run. Ciao.

I gotta tell you. I see a lot of films. I love all of them.

I had some wonderful news today too.

I have learned...

I have Martin Gibb, the president of Sunfish Classics.

I have never experienced the hostility that this little picture...

I haven't seen Brian here, my other little baby.

I hope you like it as much as we liked doing it.

I just feel like...

I just got off the phone with the segment producer from Wake Up L.A.

I just have a couple of suggestions.

I just thought I could look a little younger, couldn't I?

I just would like a moment to collect my bearings.

I know Rachel, Daddy. And she'll come home to see Mama.

I know that I wanna defend my sister, console my father...

I know, I've seen this a hundred times.

I know, you've been calling me Brian.

I like...

I love it because I look and I go, "Hey, it's a room."

I love Rachel. We don't spend a lot of time apart.

I love you, Marilyn!

I love you, Sarah.

I loved it. I loved the movie.

I loved that. I love the movie.

I mean, after tomorrow, I won't talk to you, but...

I mean, complete waterworks. They had to resuscitate me.

I mean, I didn't know that much about Purim, but I like Purim a lot.

I mean, I got the look, but I just think that we're...

I mean, it's just This is the thing.

I mean, it's no big deal. It's nothing. Forget it.

I mean, Oscars. I smell Oscars.

I mean, out here it's like magazine people.

I mean, this is such a profile booster for Victor.

I mean, we had no idea, you know, what to expect.

I mean, we're all acting all the time.

I need this to calm my nerves.

I only invited the best ones over, the ones whose daddies were professionals.

I play Sam Pischer, her brother, little brother.

I said, "This is the one. This is the vehicle."

I see Louise Mayer for the classy, big budget musical, Dream Alley.

I started doing standup at Jerry Seltzer's Laff Emporium.

I swear, I'm calling her in 10 seconds, when she goes off.

I think he's proven himself time and time again."

I think I might get nominated for an Oscar.

I think it will help you later, but not on this movie...

I think Marilyn is very deserving, but I think Callie is equally...

I think some people act for trophies. Some don't.

I think that's such a fascinating take on what we've done...

I think we see Marilyn Hack right now. Let's pay her a visit.

I think you're making this too complicated.

I think you've lost your minds.

I thought it was great. It's fantastic.

I thought Purim meant "a face." Cute little Purim.

I thought that was fantastic. I mean, you know.

I thought that was great. Victor, come on out.

I told them that. I said, "My client should not have to read for this.

I told you there was a blurb on the Internet.

I wanna go to this party. This is a party I would go to...

I want it to be bright.

I want to come in the room and I wanna see an object like the

I want you guys to give a warm welcome...

I want you to add one more thing, something more...

I want you to do some exercise. All of you guys, you pick this up, okay?

I wanted a wiener every time I saw your commercials.

I warn you. These are actors.

I was at Chortles, The Comedy Place.

I was being used

I was dying.

I was in the office all day. Why didn't you call ?

I was screaming, Mama, but you couldn't hear me.

I was shocked that you were considered for a nomination.

I wasn't suggesting we change the title. I'm pointing out...

I went to Shoe Barn because I wanted to get a strappy sandal...

I will forgive him

I wish I could have. There were so many great performances.

I wish, but that's your own journey.

I wouldn't dare.

I'd say Chicago.

I'll ask it anyway, but stop me if you can, all right?

I'll let you in on a little secret. Because it feels good.

I'll make sure they do. I'm sorry.

I'll take a thousand of those Buffalo wings.

I'll tell you what, Chuck.

I'll tell you what, Chuck. Both are starring in the Sunfish Classics feature:

I'm a peeled nerve. I'm just I'm all jitters. I can hardly...

I'm an Esther, like the queen.

I'm getting all confused

I'm going to audition for it, just to show you why I shouldn't have to audition for it."

I'm gonna shoot this again and there's no script.

I'm happy for you because you do good work...

I'm happy for you too, Marilyn.

I'm in a meeting with Victor Allan Miller. I do not wanna be disturbed.

I'm just saying the film as a whole, the theme...

I'm just saying, don't provoke the situation.

I'm kidding. Just get back there and make notes.

I'm never gonna watch it again unless my wife takes up CPR or paramedics move in.

I'm not gonna candy coat things for you...

I'm not used to being a sex object, more of a food object.

I'm on your side, all right? I'm your agent.

I'm really glad that you picked that up.

I'm so I'm very happy for you.

I'm so sorry, Sam. I love you. I love !

I'm sorry I asked. I didn't mean to bother you.

I'm sorry, I You look familiar. Are you an actor?

I'm sorry. I wanted to let you know you're wrapped for the day.

I'm sure I should have been. May I go in?

I'm sure it's been done before, don't you think?

I've done all my homework on this guy.

I've established everything there is to know...

I've guided so many actors to this place.

I've had hang ups. I've had rude Rude responses.

If you get it, then you turn it up.

If you take my meaning.

If you want something heavy, see Hamlet or Shakespeare or something like that.

If you're being a smart ass, I'm gonna put you across my knee.

If you're not gonna be there for me then I will do this alone.

If you're waiting for forgiveness, Rachel, I don't believe I can muster the strength.

In a restaurant, you can use them. You don't have to hunt for a pay phone.

In about 30 seconds, at the end of this break...

In every actor there lives a tiger, a pig, an ass and a nightingale.

In further "particularlyness," a possible Oscar nomination.

In Hollywood, traffic on the 101 is running smoothly in both directions...

In the next take, extreme close up of the kugel, all right?

In today's "Lost and Found" segment...

Internet.

It ain't no mitzvah, Daddy. It's family.

It always, it's People get to story points and have a little problem...

It doesn't matter. Can I have an order of humble pie over here?

It don't much matter now, Mama.

It don't much matter who forgives who.

It helps me. I appreciate it.

It is not a 35 DIB...

It is to be timely, quantifiable and orotund.

It looks like guys in suits are telling you

It seemed like you were dodging the questions...

It starts out as a medium in which your script is sacrosanct.

It turned this town on its ear.

It was a way to motivate them. It was a way to get them thinking:

It was all fershteit.

It was an honor just to be almost nominated.

It was nice of you to keep my sister company on this trip.

It was your sister that put your mama on her deathbed.

It was. But he's So he looks good?

It wasn't really necessarily a nervous breakdown...

It wasn't the apple in the tree...

It will be if we just tone some of the themes down a little bit.

It's a comedy because it's They're dysfunctional.

It's a diuretic pony, I'm sorry

It's a good film and there's people watching. That'd be good, wouldn't it?

It's a good thing he's not a hat salesman.

It's a period film.

It's a sports stadium, is what it is now.

It's a story about a *******, Yiddish family?

It's a very interesting scenario, playing siblings, living the life of lovers.

It's a wonderful book.

It's a wonderful ******* holiday. Family, good triumphs over evil.

It's about Thanksgiving, which I believe...

It's all right because we should go a whole different angle...

It's America. It's the family eating.

It's an honor to be demonstrating this fantastic product.

It's been a good experience for everybody. I mean, you know...

It's big print, lot of pictures, not too heavy reading.

It's bright. It's brighter than Stephen bloody Hawking in here.

It's called Hello, Purim.

It's enough for me. It really is. It really is. Really is.

It's enough. It's enough. It's plenty.

It's exciting, isn't it?

It's great. I love the eyes rolling back.

It's great. The cast are great.

It's horrifying, but like, it's horrifying like a horror movie.

It's just a bit silly about the Oscar stuff, don't you think?

It's like It's just in this area. It's kind of a...

It's nothing, no big It's a big deal. Who cares?

It's paper and they put a letter and a name and a word and then they called it a script.

It's quick and dangerous, but you trust it.

It's short, but it's powerful.

It's the Morningwood Show. Morningwood and Holly would if she could.

It's the one in the shack, where the shrubs ?

It's too exciting. How do you feel?

It's very real. I've been to a party before...

It's vital and it's exciting. It's about real people.

It's what a son does for his mama.

It's worth it.

Its two megastars, Cynthia Chapman and Jim Beyman...

Julia, please.

Julia, please.

Just a little bit of buzz, a little bit of fairy dust and... you're off to the races.

Just do me a favor. Let me be the last person in, if I'm going to do this

Just make it more palatable. We want a wider audience to see it.

Just say Marilyn Hack.

Just tone down the *******ness so everyone can enjoy it.

Know what they say about blind prostitutes? You really have to hand it to them.

KXBD 104.9 Talk Radio.

Lane?

Latin restaurants. You mean, like, Mexican or...?

Lesion, that's a That's like a wound.

Let go a little bit. That's what we gonna do.

Let me approach this a different way, because you're all

Let me ask a question. Anybody play any gags...

Let me ask you a couple of questions about Home for Purim.

Let me just show you how easy it is to use.

Let me see that, just that flash.

Let me tell you, that charming little movie not only paid the rent...

Let's sneak inside like a fly on the wall.

Let's tell people not to see our show?

Let's toss this away. Let's start from scratch.

Like a chair or a light or a sofa and be able to make out what it is.

Like I am.

Like I am.

Like snacks.

Listen, Victor.

Liz said I should get my face stonewashed like her

Long as it takes, I expect.

Long Beach is 77 and a low of 65.

Look at you, all decked out in Uncle Sam's finest.

Look, I know my job is to translate your vision into the real world, okay?

Louise Mayer in Dream Alley.

Make a note of that.

Mama!

Mama.

Mama.

Man, that one is scary.

Marilyn

Marilyn Hack and Callie Webb.

Marilyn Hack made quite the splash in Song for Reuben back in 1989...

Marilyn Hack, you play the matriarch here...

Marilyn Hack.

Marilyn Hack. Now I know what it feels like...

Marilyn, you had a swooning, kind of a fainting move which I love.

Maybe I will forgive him...

Maybe it was you who was running scared.

Maybe they won't even notice we're there.

Maybe.

Me, don't provoke?

Mine was I think her name was Alice. Was that it?

Miss Campanella, this publicity campaign is to be run with military precision.

Miss Marilyn Hack and Victor Allan Miller.

Mixing business with pleasure. My pleasure.

Mockingbird in the magnolia.

More people will see this than all the Shakespeare...

Morley, you told me not to do it.

Morning, kids.

Morning, Marilyn. Chuck Porter, from Hollywood Now.

Move that up about another 5 feet. Yeah, straight on up. That's good.

Mr. Miller, I presume you will be watching the nominations...

Mr. Orfkin, for the third time, Victor Allan Miller is waiting.

My friend Mary Pat Hooligan.

My gosh, just how much does a funny looking hat cost anyway?

My thing is say it like it is.

My time is short and I will not leave the Purim table.

My, my, you're a sight for sore eyes.

Nice accent, incidentally.

No autographs for this lady.

No high jinks per se, but I

No, but you know what? I'm sorry. Dying is easy.

No, he's selling shoes, but we just had this incredible connection.

No, I think they did a wonderful job. Best of luck.

No, I've I haven't been out of the United States, actually.

No, it isn't. No, it isn't. That's not what I've been calling you.

No, it's Latin restaurants...

No, Latin. The people that speak Latin.

No, no, no, that's Sukkot, Sukkot.

No, not the intake of breath, just the eyes flashing as if:

No, Purim, a lot of people don't really know.

No, stop it. Stop it, dear. Let it go, let it go.

No, thank you. Just I just love the work.

No, we know that, but I'm telling you, I think you can...

No.

No.

No. I have, like, two exteriors with Victor and then I'm done.

No. Stop me again. How do I look?

No. Zach. From Sisters of Stone?

Nobody knows what's going because of the whole dysfunction.

Not having people come out and say, "Can I have your autograph?"

Not up...

Nothing happened!

Nothing important. I'm here with a client.

Now, the seating arrangement is Mr. Miller is in the middle...

Now, you listen to me, Bernie, you may run a studio...

Of course they did. Next time, they'll tell me.

Oh, an Oscar. Oh, okay.

Oh, aren't you nice? Well, actually, I've been teaching in

Oh, come on. There's a ton of queens.

Oh, Daniel, let us seize this glorious moment, now and forever...

Oh, God, it's plenty. You're lucky to be alive.

Oh, good times, good times. Well, done.

Oh, he's not in today. Could I have your name, please?

Oh, here's people coming to see it now.

Oh, honey, are we aware of what was on cable last night?

Oh, I know she couldn't show it...

Oh, I see what you're saying. No, no, no.

Oh, I wish I could jump cut you babies...

Oh, it isn't tame. It isn't like the North.

Oh, it's nothing.

Oh, look, Daniel.

Oh, Marilyn, wow. Okay.

Oh, my darlings, you are so talented.

Oh, my God! Oh, my... Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Doesn't he know about her allergies? Here's what you have to do...

Oh, no, thank you. It's a dream come true.

Oh, no. All of it is really brown and curly.

Oh, okay, just give me five seconds and then send him in.

Oh, okay. This was also trying to be...

Oh, please. Marilyn Hack is the queen and tomorrow, there will be a coronation.

Oh, Sanchez, if only... If only it was your hand and not Nina's.

Oh, she looks nervous.

Oh, Skip's a good guy.

Oh, the one with the breath.

Oh, Victor, incidentally, those radio auditions have been changed to Friday.

Okay, all right. Yeah.

Okay, everybody, stay where you are, please.

Okay, I'm just not feeling I'm not feeling it.

Okay, it's off. It's not even on.

Okay, quick question. The Internet. That's the one with e mail, right?

Okay, this is a rumor that's out there on the Internet and you think it's nothing.

Okay, time, time. Look, this is just... It's just paper.

Okay:

Our next guest finished shooting a charming little movie this past summer...

Oy gevalt, what have I done?

She has a show. Tell her the title.

She lets it all go. Everything.

She shoots her big scene with Marilyn.

She smiled, but I don't know if she knew who I was.

She was a woman who came from the worst of times to the best.

She was the maid. She was the glue that held the family together.

She'll be home.

She's here, Daddy! She's coming up the walk!

She's not coming home to see her sick mother.

She's not coming.

She's too sensitive for this. She shouldn't even do that.

She's wonderful, but it's an early celebration.

Silly? It's the backbone of this industry.

Simon, all I'm saying is I want it to be brighter. That's all I'm saying to you.

Simon, the move is too fast, so we're gonna have to slow it down...

Simon...

So let's follow me around a circle. You follow around.

So tell me, Home for Purim.

So this is gonna be great.

So with that in mind...

So you're a producer.

So, what's going on?

Some faces we're not familiar with. Some new faces.

Some love for him right now. Victor, right now, letting go.

Somebody had been on the set, here, at Home for Purim...

Someone's killed their children and made them into cookies...

Sometimes it looks like somebody hit you with a frying pan and you enjoyed it.

Song for Reuben.

Sorry I'm on this thing. I hurt my back.

Sound too good to be true?

Speaking of which, there is word on the street...

Stop me. Stop me. How does the film look?

Stranger, what do you say?

Sure. And you're all set.

Take a wild guess.

Tell you what. I'm gonna look into it. This could be very interesting indeed.

Than you. Excuse me.

Thank you very much for being here with us.

Thank you, Mr. Miller.

Thank you, that's very kind.

Thank you, though, for talking to us and...

Thank you.

Thanks. You know, I'm glowing because I have very big news.

That film has a budget of almost 300 million.

That is so fantastic.

That is very exciting news for a young actor...

That is your early drive time report...

That Mordecai and Esther Saved the day

That must be tough, doing a dramatic scene like this.

That was a complete non sequitur.

That was terrific, unbelievable. I loved that. That was great.

That's a cut.

That's a good clip. That was a good clip.

That's a lot of names.

That's enough. I don't need any That's good. I'm glad to hear it.

That's exactly my problem... I wanna show you what I'm thinking...

That's exactly what I've been telling people.

That's neat. Thank you so much.

That's not what you want to put your name on.

That's rhetorical. You don't have to answer.

That's scary. Everywhere you go, they follow you.

That's so cool.

That's the taste of stardom, my friend.

That's two Oscar nominees.

That's what I'm talking about, chillaxing. Let go even more.

That's what we're trying to do with both the visual...

The fantasy had gone too far?

The father doesn't know. The kids don't know. Nobody knows!

The film is called Home for Thanksgiving.

The role of Esther, like her biblical namesake...

The whole family's dysfunctional.

Then I'm gonna come back, and they're gonna say, "Oh, la, la, French."

There are elements of my family life.

There are some very exciting things. Joel?

There was just There's no interest, okay?

There wasn't a nebbish in the group.

There's no excuse for me working for scale.

There's nothing going on in movies right now for you.

There's something about you that's just foreign.

There's something on the Internet.

They don't just ask anybody.

Victor, I want to tell you that my family and I...

Victor, if you go in and audition, okay, what you're saying to these guys is:

We got a special guest. That's the reason for my wood, I tell you.

We had a meeting scheduled. You didn't show.

We had our roving cameras on the losers first thing this morning...

We have a special guest today.

We heard there's a little bit of, I don't know, Awards season buzz...

We know that. And what happened?

We make enough money on this, there'll be babes in the trailers.

We were a little bit disturbed when we saw you throw the script on the floor...

We were babies then, weren't we?

We won't worry about it. We'll go over to Skip and Sanchez.

We write just enough to keep us in teaching.

We'll have that story and much more for you...

We're having a conversation here, all right?

We're late, I think.

We're not gonna just take any commercial that comes our way.

We're sitting on the set...

Well, anyway, the long and the short of it is...

Well, as my assistant, Lincoln, can tell you...

Well, he was at your feet.

Well, I guess it all depends on what your definition of fun is, Chuck.

Well, I have to tell you, for my money and how I feel about it...

Well, I see two faces appearing, Chuck.

Well, I would, except for the fact that I don't own a television.

Well, I'll tell you what, Chuck. Once again, the voters have spoken.

Well, I'm gonna talk to Jay. I'm gonna get him.

Well, if they've seen my theatrical work over the years, I think they will.

Well, if Tojo wants a fight, a fight he's gonna get.

Well, if you call sleeping in the same bed "near each other," I suppose we do.

Well, maybe you could with what you have to give.

Well, my father would say, "A fox smells his own hole first."

Well, not when you're exercising with Hula Balls.

Well, Philip Kuntz and Lane Iverson both have a problem.

Well, tell me how you both got started in acting as art?

Well, thank you very much, Monkey.

Well, that just don't make no sense.

Well, the countdown to Awards season has begun.

Well, the *******ness. Which is good. Ethnicity is good.

Well, we're glad that we could help you achieve your dream.

Were you able to fall back on your comedy chops...

What a What a pioneer this guy is. "Let's do nothing."

What a brave choice the director made.

What did I do that was so wrong?

What did you wanna talk about?

What do you mean you didn't want one anyway?

What do you mean, auditions? Hold on.

What does a producer do?

What if I told you...

What if we do a different holiday around the table Easter.

What if we go the angle of let's play it down?

Would you like me to do some research for you?

Would you tell your cameraman I have to sign a release?

You have to start walking and talking and thinking of yourself as a star.

You haven't heard the rumor?

..."latesion"? Lesion?

...a kind of family kind of presentation, kind of a comedy thing, but

...a man who came this close to getting nominated for an Oscar:

...a performance that could only be described as Oscar worthy."

...a possibility of a nomination for an Oscar.

...almost from the bottom of your womanhood to make it a:

...and a group of people who stand around him...

...and a piece out of my heart.

...and all the Broadway he's ever done.

...and brought up the idea of there being...

...and commit ourselves to do his service and to love each other, you and I.

...and death.

...and give us two minutes with Mr. Miller, here.

...and guilt as old as the parchment on which the Purim story was written.

...and have all the fun of a Hawaiian vacation?

...and he reckons there could be an Academy Award nomination in the offing.

...and here's what they had to say.

...and I wanna add one thing, so just watch for a second.

...and I wanna go see that.

...and in particular, your colleague, Marilyn Hack.

...and is chugging up, up, up.

...and maybe even something with the eyes.

...and metaphorical resonance wrapped up in there.

...and my selfless act was to protect my family from all the Hamans.

...and now we head back to our KAJE coverage...

...and she was checking out her specialty sites.

...and should not be filed as such.

...and stretch her skin to the point of breaking.

...and tell you who we see as our nomination picks.

...and the cast of this hot little movie that seems to be creating a stir.

...and then everyone can enjoy it.

...and then gave them back to the people.

...and then we washed them...

...and this is one film every patriotic American has been waiting for.

...and Victor Allan Miller for Home for Thanksgiving.

...and we make it this.

...and you are dying as I understand.

...and you're relegated. Do you feel relegated...

...and you're wonderful at what you do.

...and, ultimately, I feel a sense of guilt...

...any pranks on the set?

...as deserving of an award.

...as far as his short term objectives go.

...as people walk by, you want that, you actually do want that.

...because if you want candy coated information, go someplace

...because the actors were asking legitimate questions

...because there's no studio work. Please get a name for your band.

...because we've gotten away from the family...

...because when you set the posters in the theater...

...Ben Connelly in Whispers in the Attic.

...best known as Irv the Footlong Wiener...

...but can all that money buy them a coveted Best Actor and Actress award?

...but he's actually working his abdominals...

...but I also enjoyed it very, very much.

...but I would have given anything to see a coffee pot explode.

...but I've got way too much respect for my clients to put up with this kind of crap.

...but more important, they're working.

...but she was kvelling in her own way.

...but the pear on the ground that caused all the trouble.

...but there are certain things that I'm not sure about.

...but when I'm at home, I'm Jo Jo?

...but you trust that, too, because it's part of you...

...commit a selfless act to save a nation.

...could end up buying her the whole block.

...could you refer to me by my character name, Mary Pat?

...despite what critics say.

...do you feel that people are going to accept you in this role?

...for her memorable portrayal of Imogene the blind prostitute.

...for Victor Allan Miller.

...from its veteran mainstays, Marilyn Hack and Victor Allan Miller...

...Hollywood Now. Scrunch over. I thought you'd like some company this morning.

...I am left comfortable...

...I have to read for a freaking radio commercial in freaking Oregon.

...I need to ask you a question, but I don't want the answer.

...I realized I had in my mitts a story...

...I realized I was in for a very special encounter.

...I think you're looking at an Academy Award nomination.

...I was inundated with phone calls and e mails...

...I would like to propose a toast...

...I'm working for scale.

...if you Googled Simon Whitset, apparently, you could

...if you know what I mean.
