Speaker 1: One eight hundred dy away or go to one eight

00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: hundred d yaway dot com. A great defense can be

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: the difference between a dismiss case or jail time. What

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: eight hundred do you y away? He's another jewel on

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: the twenties. I'm moving. Hello? Hi? Is this Terra co?

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: Is she Tara? Hi? My name is Ethan stump Ley,

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: and I'm a teacher here at an elementary. I'm directing

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: the upcoming school play that your son has been cast in.

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: Oh hi, James is so excited. He told me he

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: was cast as Aladdin. Yes, yes, well he earned it.

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. He's at least got a little bit

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: of acting. Chops. You should have seen the other children's auditions.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: Just horrible. I felt like I needed a tennis shot

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: after waiting through all that trash. Oh well, um, I'm

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: glad that James rose to the occasion. Yes he worked

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: really hard, Yes he did. He worked hard. But now

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: that's why I'm calling you, because the real work begins,

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that James is committed to this role.

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't want another little Red Riding Hood fiasco on

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: my hands. I don't really know what that means, but

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: I'll help in any way I can. Wonderful, wonderful. So

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: we'll be starting rehearsals next week and those will run

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: from four pm to nine pm Monday through Saturday, four tonight.

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: That seems a little excessive. Well, curtain's up in two months.

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of lines to learn. This is

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: just like a school play. Let me correct you there.

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: This is not just a school play. This is theater.

28
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: It's art. No, I understand, yes, And if my name

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: is going to be attached to this, this will be

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: the greatest performance to school has ever seen. I understand

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: that you come from the theater. But these kids are

32
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: in fourth grade, right, and I have taken into account

33
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: that they're fourth graders. That's why I'm only asking James

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: to lose fifteen pounds for the part. I'm sorry what

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: he'll need to lose fifteen pounds? Are you insinuating that

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: my son is overweight? No? No, he's in great shape.

37
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: But I need him to look the part. He needs

38
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: to look like he's been living on the streets of

39
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: Agriba for years, like a real street rat, hungry and

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: wild eyed. James way sixty five pounds. There is no way, Fine,

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: moving fine, I hear you. With the right makeup, he

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: can lose ten pounds, but he's really going to have

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: to sell the desperation. Are you hearing what I'm telling

44
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: you right now? He's not losing any weight. Wow? Are

45
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: you trying to sabotage your son's career? Already sabotage his career.

46
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: It's Aladdin, Okay, all you need is a lamp and

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: a genie and a little Now she's a director. I

48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: thought James told you this is an adaptation of Aladdin,

49
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: a darker, more realistic interpretation of the original. That's what

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: we're going for here. He never mentioned that to me.

51
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: What does that even mean? Well, great question. You know

52
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: how there's a trend in Hollywood right now with more

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: authentic storytelling, a more realistic view. We're taking the same approach,

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: but with them Oh my god, no, no, yes, yes, yes.

55
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: In the Disney version, Aladdin is a poor beggar who

56
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: falls in love with a princess and needs the help

57
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: of a genie to win her heart. To fall in love.

58
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen. Yes, that is what is appropriate

59
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: to a fourth grader. We're going with a much darker

60
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: version in our version. Aladdin is a homeless man on

61
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: the streets of New York City who has become addicted

62
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: to social media, and he falls in love with an

63
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: Instagram influencer named Yasmine, and then he has to come

64
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: to grips with the fact that there is no genie

65
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: and no magic answers to fix your problems, just despair

66
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: and heartbreak. That is theater. That is art. Jane, I

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: don't know who hired you. You are a lunatic. These

68
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: kids are. I figured I figured that I might have

69
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: to deal with this a little bit because I am

70
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: an artist. No, I'm calling the principle right now. Go

71
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: ahead and learn the principle if you want to. But

72
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: he's already approved my idea hire. I know I might

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: get blowback on this one, but on a scale of

74
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: one to ten, how opposed are you to having James

75
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: live behind a gas station four a month? Are you furious?

76
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: You know? For research? No, no way, James is done.

77
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: I am pulling him out of this play. I am

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: going to get you fired. I'm going to call the

79
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: school board, I'm gonna called the parent, I'm gonna put

80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: it up on Facebook. You're going to be fired, buddy.

81
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: Oh it's gonna be hard to fire me because I'm

82
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: not even a teacher. Yeah, I know you're non teacher.

83
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: You're a runed man. No, this is actually Jewel from

84
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Brook and Jewel in the Morning doing a phone tap

85
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,559
Speaker 1: on you and your husband set you up. It's a joke.

86
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: What's a joke? This whole thing? Your husband told me

87
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: that your son was just cast as a Laddin in

88
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: the school play, and he wanted me to prank you. Oh,

89
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: don't worry, you were serious. I thought you honestly wanted

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: my kid to lose like fifteen pounds. Well, if he's

91
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: going to really sell the part, I mean he'd have

92
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: to lose at least forty five my part. I was

93
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: so upset. Do you like my adaptation of Aladdin? Though? No,

94
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: that's an awful idea. Nobody will ever get my art.
