my favorite baseball team Welcome to MWIRE movie
weekend review. This is episode 116. I am your
host TFJ and Mike. Joining me this time around
is Dog Able from Talking About My Generation.
Hello. Hello, sir. How are you? I am doing pretty
darn good. Pretty darn good today. That's good.
And ladies and gentlemen, we've had a little
switcheroo. Weekend at the movies our other movie
podcast that kind of deals with the news and
box office and all that stuff Has moved to airing
on Fridays, which means now that M wire is back
on We've moved to Wednesdays. So every Wednesday
now on the geocaster an hour you can get comics
cartoons movies, I Don't know what else as far
as podcast goes, but we will be on Wednesdays
at some point for the foreseeable future. Uh,
and this time around, we're, uh... God. Is it
really that long? Oh, I'm getting too old for
this. We're traveling 12 years into the past.
Oh, Jesus. Oh, my God. This movie is 12 years
old. Um... Think this is a pre -benifer movie,
too Probably I Don't know yeah, I I don't I don't
Keep up with I know he's I know he's been married
to Gardner for a while, so that's all I know
yeah Benifer didn't last too long But yes, we
were talking about 2003's paycheck when was the
first time you saw this one Actually, I saw it
in the theater Probably right after New Year's.
I want to say maybe it was New Year's Day We
might have gone to see it but it was my mom my
dad my sister and I we all crowded in the car
went down to the theater and saw it and I was
pleasantly surprised by it I I Thought that it
was gonna be an eh movie and it was better than
I expected I Don't remember when I saw this one
I know it wasn't in theaters, because it just
wasn't. It was way after that, but I remember
the initial reason why I wanted to see it was
because of one line, what's my favorite baseball
team? And then she just, the fake Rachel just
kind of, uh -huh, that doesn't matter. And then
the real Rachel aka Uma Thurman just blasts in.
Uh, that would be the Red Sox? Damn right. And
this movie, it actually, rewatching it again,
really surprised me with some of the stuff that,
I mean, this is one of those movies that happened
in the early 2000s that I really remember even
if I haven't seen it in a long time. Like, last
time I watched this movie was probably... 2006
maybe oh Yeah, so it's been a while But you know
watching it again It's still damn good. Oh Yeah,
I mean it's It's you know based on a Philip K
Dick novel, so you've got that going for it It's
it's not Blade Runner, but it's right up there
as far as I'm concerned with sci -fi type flicks
You know I I thought it was really a lot better
than I expected especially when we start seeing
some of the things that That Ben Affleck's character
starts doing because he's reverse engineer I
my personal favorite was when they they show
him and he does the he makes the screen and He's
got this monitor screen and all of a sudden starts
projecting a 3d image without needing glasses
And then he pulls the screen away, and it's still
broadcasting right there I went okay. That's
pretty bitching. I want one Yeah, absolutely
Now this one I didn't notice this at that time
But and you pointed this out off air, but I had
no idea at the time when I first saw this that
this was a John Woo film Yeah, I mean looking
back on it now. I kind of go okay Yeah, it makes
a lot of sense when you think about things like
replacement killers and how it was with The type
of action that was going on and then to see paycheck
kind of coming through with a lot of the same
types of action especially with the most motorcycle
chase scene through the the railroad yards and
all that I Was kind of like oh, that's not too
bad. I mean, but now that I think about it. I'm
like yeah that that really is typical John Woo
type action Not that it's a bad thing. Oh, no
no no no not at all. I mean as soon as I saw
that old scene with them at the car and found
and well it's not a car so where are the bikes
because it wouldn't be a boat and then I realized
oh crap they're gonna do yeah the mission impossible
2 scenes I'm like oh crap here we go yep which
yeah this movie happened three years after that
wow Interesting when you look at Wu's track record
to see how he progressed throughout his career
as far as being the director of films. Wow, he
started in 68. Holy crap. Jesus. As a director.
But yeah, I mean, he's had so many... But paycheck
basic plot of this is This is supposed to be
one of those near future plots So it isn't like
like in 2003 when this came out. It wasn't saying
that hey, this is 2003. This is like you know,
this is Just kind of like this is the near future
and we're not sure if this is actually gonna
happen or not And that shark still looks fake
Yeah. It's one of those near future kind of stories.
Ben Affleck's character Michael Jennings is a
reverse engineer. He analyzes his client's competitor's
technology and recreates it, often adding improvements
beyond the original specifications to protect
his client's intellectual property and himself.
Jennings, with the aid of his friend Shorty,
worst character name ever, undertakes a memory
wipe to remove knowledge of his engineering.
What do you think of the aspect of of the whole
thing of being a reverse engineer engineer that
doesn't want to remember anything I? Really couldn't
understand that other than that way the only
thing that came to my mind was the reason that
he was doing it was so that they wouldn't sue
his ass for stealing their stuff or That this
way here. He couldn't be pointed back to say
oh, I was the one who came up with that That's
the only thing I can think of is to Why he was
doing that It didn't make a whole lot of sense.
I just kind of like okay, whatever The only thing
I can think of is he didn't want to remember
it because he didn't want like what happens if
a rival company Comes and kidnaps it that too
and tries to torture the secrets out of him This
movie Also stars besides Ben Affleck stars Emma
Thurman Paul Giamatti as shorty and Aaron Eckhart
the future two -face as As as Jimmy Wow, so you've
got you've got poison ivy and two -face in the
same movie You got poison ivy two -face and Rhino.
Oh Jesus I forgot about Paul Giamatti being Rhino
Which sadly that's probably not gonna happen
now that so Sony or yeah Sony and Marvel have
made a deal for For spider -man being in the
Marvel universe that that that's a whole other
topic for another podcast folks We'll be talking
about that at some point, but um but yeah So
basically how the plot here runs down is as I
said James Retrick, played by Eckhart, approaches
Jennings to work on a lengthy three -year reverse
engineering job. Jennings require him to live
in ALCOM's secured campus until its conclusion,
but we're warning him handsomely. with company
stock. Jennings agrees and after arranging for
his long -term absence arrives at ALCOM and turns
in his personal possessions and is given a brief
tour of the facility. And as the movie goes on,
we don't, the one thing I wish we had seen in
this movie is what happened during the time that
he was doing the reverse engineering. Like they,
they mention When he comes out of it after the
three years and it sets up the whole course of
the movie where he sent himself different items.
Apparently during the three years he figured
out, oh, this machine is going to be not good
for the world and whatever else. And then we
get introduced to Uma Thurman's character. Well,
we had gotten introduced to her when he was there,
when we saw him at ALCOM, but... You know we
then get introduced to her and the fact that
oh they apparently had a life together and I
wish we had seen just a glimpse of that even
if it was just you know a five -minute flashback
or something or other because the way This movie
is structured with the flashbacks and him remembering
everything it works. I like it, but At the same
time it's like can we really be sure this happened?
Yeah, I you know I got the feeling like this
was kind of a Total recall take in that respect
and it just kind of pissed me off. I kept thinking
wow, this is stolen and It was okay, don't get
me wrong I like the prospect of it in the way
that they were pulling stuff out because it's
like he gets handed something and oh So I'm supposed
to do something with this item. I'm not sure
what But it was still it was still like you finally
realized that oh, yeah He's got to use this to
you know unlock the door That's that they're
gonna be running up against or something like
that which made kind of made sense But I don't
know it just wasn't great in that respect Yeah,
it was a little um It was a little strange when
it came to the physics of the time travel and
and all that stuff because If you think about
it, this kind of is a time travel movie even
though they're They're promoting it as memory
erasing. Yeah, it's still Because yeah, that's
the other thing. It's like time has passed Yet
He remains unchanged after his memories erased.
Yeah, so he did all this stuff But he doesn't
know anything about it and I understand why he
doesn't know about it, but it just it's When
you get into something like this where you have
someone build a machine that predicts the future
That's not a good thing It really really isn't
yeah Because apparently the future it predicted
was that there would be war Well, yeah war and
you know the nuclear strike financial panic dogs
and cats living together that sort of thing you
know yeah so after he wakes up it now becomes
a mad frantic run for him to figure out because
he left himself all these clues with all these
other items that aren't his personal items and
you have to figure everything out and uh... As
they go through the movie I really like the action
and everything else and I like the personalities
between Affleck's character and Uma Thurman's
character Oh as far as like he wants to sit there
for two seconds Under the the machine to try
to figure out a better way to deal with it and
she just wants to hit it with a giant wrench
I I'm gonna make a comparison though for this
movie the one thing that struck me about this
film and Another film that was very similar in
the process night and day with Tom Cruise and
Cameron Diaz, I believe it was In some ways this
is much better. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, but
you know you got a blonde that you know, she's
kind of being drug around She has no idea what's
going on It's kind of like Ben Affleck had no
idea what was being what was going on with him
and he's running around with a blonde, you know,
I Guess maybe the motorcycle ride is one of the
things that made it pop into my head, you know,
but that's This was much better than night and
day and for that. I'm glad you know I don't even
know why Tom Cruise agreed to do that movie,
but that's for another day I Set myself up. I
know yeah, so as we go through this plot We get
to the point where Michael Jennings figures out
who's been athletes character figures out What
Jimmy wants to do with this thing? Basically
wants to control the world and control the world's
destiny and and all this and all that Jennings
sees his own fate that he gets shot up up on
the catwalks and what can you do to change that
and the whole thing is once he escapes all calm
he has to eventually go back once he escapes
they figure out oh crap he screwed the machine
up because during this three -year period we
don't see a lot of except in little blurbs and
flashbacks apparently he realized what Jimmy
wanted to do and he sabotaged the machine so
they couldn't use it which is ingenious um...
so when he goes back you know he has to actually
fix it and everything else but he figures out
a way oh well nobody should have this kind of
power so in this bag of items he has a bullet
and you send yourself a bullet and you're wondering
what's this for and he comes to realize that
the the things that cool the was it liquid nitrogen
i think he said yeah hydrogen or something or
other uh they're on a pressure sensor timer thing
where they fire in sequence so one two three
four five six so he to give them enough time
to escape basically taped uh or fasten the bullet
to the sixth uh compression thing and so when
that went off it would destroy the machine and
you have the stupid security guard who wants
to use the machine and I'm like dude no just
don't yeah because the security guard uses the
machine and it shows him blowing up and I really
love that scene because not not because the guy
blew up but because it shows it in real time
as it's happening like because he's reacting
to it and it's actually happening to him at the
same time yeah that was kind of cool absolutely
love that um at the end of the movie kind of
wrap with the plot here folks basically um they
get away with it um and the only thing that's
in the box, the only thing that's left in the
envelope is the little Chinese food, the fortune
cookie thing with the fortune and the numbers
which apparently once he got that during this
time that we don't see during the three years
apparently he bought a lottery ticket and hid
it under the birdcage Yeah What was wrong? No
just that that was kind of like you know partially
because Here's my here's my things with this
is that he knew the winning lottery numbers.
He apparently pulled those from using the machine
He didn't want there to be financial ruin, but
yet he's going through and he's using it for
financial gain for himself That was kind of one
of those things that stuck in my craw when I
saw this and I just went Really guys, this is
how you're gonna pull this off. You're gonna
make you're gonna make another bad mistake with
money again, but Well, I mean, I don't think
it's a mistake. He didn't all of a seat I mean,
it's like he's stealing the money. Oh, it's not
like he's you know getting 92 trillion dollars
and you know, basically killing the national,
you know economy here true. I mean It's a standard.
It's not even a big jack. Okay, don't get me
wrong folks. I know. $92 million is a lot, a
lot of money. But you see advertisements nowadays
for $450 million Powerball jackpot or, you know,
you see all these much larger numbers. See that's
the thing where I don't I don't see how he could
have controlled that because How is he gonna
get a fortune cookie? Even if he does look into
the future to see what the numbers are. How does
he know that fortune? He's gonna have that those
exact numbers on I Just yeah, I mean that that's
the thing It's like I've seen a fortune cookie
factory before there are millions of them I mean
it would take him three years alone just to find
the right one true I Think probably what he did
was and this is just my own has nothing it has
to do with the movie This is my own hypothesis
there. I think what he did was he got that they
had Chinese food at some point during the three
years he got that and because he Got that son
at some point during the three years. It was
never claimed because he didn't know he had it
until afterwards or whatever So that they had
never and that that really is more of a crawl
for me is that it was unclaimed. So usually I
don't know how the lottery normally works, but
don't they usually just pass it over? Yeah, after
there's nobody claims it after a certain amount
of time. Yeah, I mean, they they know that there's
a sale on a lottery ticket and they know that
they've sold X number of tickets that have the
winning numbers on them. But. If you don't get
it, I think there's a statute of limitations
for like a year a year and a half or something
like that Before you have to claim it. So three
years sitting there and it's unclaimed and they
still give him the money Yeah, that was a little
strange. But this is my thinking is he already
had the fortune so all he really did was he went
into the future and Saw what the numbers would
be and he found out that they matched up to his
numbers. That's really all it was. There's no
way this guy had enough time to go into the future
make sure like directly this isn't lucky numbers
ladies and gentlemen John Travolta is not in
this movie they're not trying to wait down the
balls of the lottery you remember lucky numbers
yes yes this isn't this is not that and I love
Giamatti at the end he's like Well, you know
that Affleck's all smiling everything else and
what's that? That's a that's a winning lottery
ticket and you might is just like Glory be hallelujah
all this and all that Overall, I love this movie.
I love the story. I love the plot I'm wondering
how much different the Philip K Dick thing is
compared to the film but I'm so I love this movie.
This is a movie I can watch every now and then
and really really enjoy it Oh, yeah, it's it's
definitely one that I can I can sit down on a
weekend and just kind of go okay I'm gonna sit
down and watch this movie and just I Don't want
to say veg because you do need to think a little
bit about what's coming up if you haven't seen
it in a while But it's still pretty good action
flick and it kind of makes you think which I
thought was great That said it is you know some
of it I had a hard time with just because it's
been Affleck and you know it's the new Batman
oh Jesus I just realized that yeah, huh? But
you know I have a kind of a hard time with Affleck
in this And I guess maybe that's just because
I kept seeing him as you know the smartass in
Goodwill hunting You know that that kind of role
What if Batman had a Boston accent? Oh my god,
that would be so hilarious. Oh god. Hey Robin
get over here I think I know he started his very
first role according to Wikipedia was the dark
end of the street in 81 He then went to school
ties and Buffy the vampire slayer 92 days to
confuse 93 mall rats and chasing Amy 95 97 uh...
obviously go hunting armageddon uh... shakespeare
in love uh... phantoms dogma did you know that
we had a he and matt had a small role in uh...
feel the dreams not really worth mentioning but
they were there well it is it's not listed here
for some other reason i don't know why um maybe
they were uncredited that time yeah um and throughout
the 2000s in the in the 2010s here he's had a
somewhat of an all right career when it comes
to movies i mean he was daredevil so uh followed
immediately with gili yeah well he was daredevil
so that does mean he was blind as a bat Yeah,
hooking up with Lopez but He had smoking aces
in 06 he had The town in 2010, which he also
directed He had Argo in 2012, which I still need
to see that That was an Oscar winner, wasn't
it? I think so. Yeah he He had runner -runner
in 2013 young girl last year and next year he's
gonna have Batman vs Superman Donald justice
I am really interested to see his take on Batman
because if you look at the live -action not talking
animation folks specifically live -action because
as we all know Kevin Conroy is the only animated
Batman voice that matters but live -action you
look at I guess we can start with Adam West,
but that's more so television. Yeah, there was
the Batman movie, but in live -action film Michael
Keaton Started it with Tim Burton's Batman and
Batman returns We then went to Val Kilmer for
Batman forever, which I truly believe Val Kilmer
is a better Bruce Wayne than he is Batman Yes,
then went to George Clooney and Batman and Robin
who should have never left the ER That was probably
the worst Batman casting ever. Yeah, um when
it comes to Bruce Wayne Batman and then you know
2005 we had Christopher Nolan for three films
and Begins Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises.
I'm really interested to see what Affleck does
with Bruce Wayne Batman because I remember after
daredevil after he did daredevil I could have
sworn I read somewhere or or Heard him say in
an interview somewhere. He would never do a Superhero
movie with tights ever again. Oh, yeah, and he
did I just don't remember what the interview
where the interview was Yeah, he said he would
never put on a superhero costume again and uh
Swallow your pride dude. You're you're Batman.
Well, I mean, yeah it's there's a Don't want
to alienate or piss anybody off here. There's
a big difference between Batman and Daredevil
yeah, I mean like if he if he had been cast in
You know the third x -men movie in 2006 or something
as somebody I could see that being Don't get
me wrong folks daredevils an amazing superhero
all that good stuff. I love the daredevil movie,
but I mean It's it's bad bad. I mean it's like
How do you say no to that? Yeah, no matter how
much they're paying him. How do you say no to?
Getting a chance to be Batman All I can say is
I just hope that he doesn't fuck it up. That's
all I Really don't think he will It's possible.
I mean again, like you said we could have a Boston
accent on Batman we could have him pulling it
back to a Adam West type Batman which god forbid
I hope they don't ever go that route Don't get
me wrong. I love Adam West and for the time when
he was doing it. It was comedic. It was perfect
It's not appropriate for the new Justice League
Format that they're going with no, you know Yeah
Okay, so we've got Aaron Eckhart now I've seen
this guy in a plenty of things. I just don't
remember half like he's one of those actors Where
once I see him and I hear his voice and I see
his face. I'm like, oh, it's that guy But I still
never hardly ever remember his name. Yeah He's
first thing One of the first things he did was
aliens in the family in 96. That's not like the
first thing he did, but it's one of them He had
Any given Sunday Aaron Brockovich nurse Betty
Let's see here One of my favors was thank you
for smoking he is this He's like this twisted
pitch man PR man for like Philip Morris or some
cigarette company and he pulls it off he goes
to his son's class and He tells everybody that
he tell he gets them to actually Get rah rah
rah about smoking a bunch of kids that are like
you know ten and twelve years old And it's just
hilarious to see it see him pull it off. It's
meant to be kind of a tongue -in -cheek Comedy
about this about the tobacco industry and it's
hilarious well worth watching Since the since
the dark night he's had before right before the
dark night he did The Wicker Man, Black Dahlia,
No Reservations, Towelhead, Meet Bill, Dark Knight.
At post -Dark Knight, he did stuff like Love
Happens, Battle of Los Angeles, The Rum Diary,
then there was The Dark Knight Rises, but he
was only photographing and archived footage in
that. Most recently, he did Olympus Has Fallen
a couple years ago, I, Frankenstein, and Incarnate
last year. This year he's got something that
he's filming called bleed for this and then my
all -american He's a good actor I liked him in
this I thought he was really really good in this.
Yeah You know, he always seems to play these
These smarmy people that you want to hate but
you just can't for various reasons and he pulls
that off so well Yeah, absolutely Uma Thurman,
I mean like you already said she was Poison Ivy,
but she was also in Kill Bill and all that We
got to talk about You know They said I was picking
up a little blue car. Nobody mentioned a little
blue man Paul Giamatti, this is a guy that does
stuff that you just don't think he would do And
honestly the first thing I remember him from
and we're gonna have to do this film sometime
here on Mwire Looking at his little His his filmography
here on on Wikipedia here the first thing I really
stands out for me with him is 1997 Howard Stern's
private parts. He was pig vomit. Oh Jesus I Tried
to watch that I just couldn't bring myself to
it partially just because at the time I was very
anti Howard Stern I've gotten better about it.
So I May have to sit down and watch it if I think
I can get through it He was also in the negotiator
the original dr. Doolittle's saving private Ryan
If these walls could talk to Big Mama's house,
we just had a conversation about that those films
the other day. Yes Let's see he was in American
Splendor in 2003 He was in sideways in 2004.
Whoa, hold on. There's a movie that he did called
Thunderpants About an 11 year old boy's amazing
ability to break wind Yeah, oh Jesus Paul I'm
sorry. I'm sorry you had to go for that. You
must have been young and needed the money He
was in like I said he was in big fat liar in
2002 He was in Cinderella man, let's see the
illusionist in 2006 Nanny Diaries shoot him up
Freddy Claus in 2007 See most recently he's done
he did rock of ages in 2012 Turbo in 2013 12
using 12 years a slave 2013 John Adams the the
HPL miniseries if you have not had a chance to
see it Sit down and watch it because you will
get chills from how good he is in that I mean
it's it's amazing at how well he plays the second
president of the US Well worth the watch For
TV he's been in a lot of stuff on TV he NYPD
blue homicide life on the street Saturday Night
Live as a host 30 rock Down to Navi. He does
the audio version of A Scanner Darkly by Philip
K. Dick. Holy crap. For the audiobook, yeah.
This cast was well put together. I mean you couldn't
get different actors to play these roles and
have it be the same enjoyable movie that it was.
I know it's seeing when you've got you know you've
got Joe Morton from from Terminator movies you
know James Dyson you've got Michael C Hall who
everybody knows as Dexter or that guy from six
feet under in these just a great great cast and
The whole thing with this is that I didn't think
that they were gonna be able to pull it off And
I didn't think this movie was going to be Anywhere
successful you know cuz I thought Okay, well
you can throw a bunch of characters together
a bunch of actors together who are good Mm -hmm,
and you know you can end up with some really
shitty stuff. It's happened. We've seen it You
know I'm trying to think of some off top my head.
There's no saving anything No, no saving the
movies, but I can't of course off top my head
think of anything Yeah I can net now that I look
at his at Joe Morton's filmography here Every
time I've seen paycheck. I'm like, where have
I seen this guy before? Where have I seen this
guy before and yes? Terminator 2 did come into
my mind, but not more so than when he played
Mac in speed It's like oh my god. That's lieutenant
Mac. Yeah, that's awesome And of course anybody
who anybody who ever watched Eureka on sci -fi
He was like one of the big characters there Henry
Deacon. So He was Cable Chamberlain on Blues
Brothers 2000. I know a lot of people don't like
Blues Brothers 2000, but I kind of liked it.
The fact that they had him as. Oh, God, I'm Mini
the Moocher. What the hell is his name? My God,
I should know this. Cab Calloway's son. Yeah,
they had him playing Cab Calloway's son. I'm
just like. Oh, well, yeah, it worked. But at
the same time, I. Had a hard time with it And
currently he is Rowan Pope on scandal so there
is that Paycheck You know for trademarks obviously
because this is a woo film it You know includes
two Mexican standoffs the appearance of a dove
and a hollow birdcage so much of the opening
tea house scene of hard -boiled The critical
response here, it was met by mixed critical reception.
Rotten Tomatoes give the film a score of 27 %
based on 154 reviews. Rotten Tomatoes to me,
I know there's a bunch of user -based scores,
but there's also the actual Rotten Tomatoes score.
Rotten Tomatoes to me is the Internet's version
of the MPAA. I would love to know who the hell
is working at Rotten Tomatoes to get some of
these movies the rotten ratings that some movies
get. Like, you know, I read something like that,
that it has a 27 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
I'm like, really? The movie is not like a masterpiece,
but it's enjoyable. Yeah. You know some of them
and some of them I don't even agree with because
they say that like There's been some people that
have come out and said oh Rotten Tomatoes hated
Guardians of the Galaxy. I loved it Yeah, you
know come on guys Yeah, you know whenever any
of our Any of our other coasts bring up Rotten
Tomatoes, it's like do we really have to talk
about that website really seriously wrong I mean,
it's the place where everyone goes, but it's
just one of those things where... Well, it's
either this or IGN, which you have problems with.
Well, everybody has problems with IGN, but I
mean... Yeah. You know. You know, the tomato
meter for... The run it is 91 % for guardians
cuz when they said it was horrible. I Mean they
might have said something You know like that
but it's it's still at 91 % for the actual rotten
tomato meter for the audience score It's 93 %
liked it. So, okay. I mean it's not like It's
nothing like Man of Steel Yeah All right folks,
I think that's gonna do it for us here in NY
did you anything else you wanted to bring up
about paychecks there? No, I think we've covered
it pretty well All right, because IDW Publishing
has now started, I don't know if it's an ongoing
or if it's just a mini -series, but they have
started Galaxy Quest The Journey Continues, taking
place after the events of the film. Next time
on MWIRE, we're going to be, I don't know, when
I say we're, I don't know if it's going to be
Doug and I or somebody else, but we're going
to be taking a look back at one of Tim Allen's...
OK movies? We're going to be taking a look at...
Galaxy quest next time here on M wire. Oh I can
hear the audience screaming in fear now Come
on. I love that film. Oh, okay. Good. I don't
know some people may like it some people may
not like it I don't remember. I thought it was
hilarious. Oh Yeah, but yeah, IDW publishing
is now got a comic series about that movie Which
like I said takes place After the events of the
film so What have you got coming up over on talking
about my generation sir? Well, we are finishing
out the failed franchises February I'm working

basically it if you want to go out and find us

time What was Shorty thinking, starting a nursery?
I mean, these plants are on life support. What
do you mean? Really? He told me he had a green
thumb. Garing green is more like it. Lucky for
Shorty, I'm a biologist. Well, lucky for both
of us. Since I failed biology, I'm no help to
either one of you. So you say. Too bad, though,
because I'm looking for a partner for a startup
company. Really? Mm -hmm. Doing what? I want
to save the world. Oh. Don't think I'm your guy.
But would you settle for someone who wants to
help you change it? Mm, OK. Good. So how does
it end for us, Michael? I mean, what's in our
future? You know, I don't know. I can't like
it that way. I do know one thing. What's that?
I never want to forget anything. Never again.
Yes, I did. Who does everything for everybody
around here? You do. You're right. You are my
hero. Thank you very much. You hear that? I'm
a hero. This is great. I think I remember. Are
those our birds? Yes, of course they are. We
bought them together. Oh, you remember the birds.
Well done. You could see into the future and
all you remember are Polly and Tweety over there.
Why don't you remember something that would make
us rich? How am I? Wait a second. What is it?
I think there was something else. No, no, no.
The envelope's empty. Don't worry about it. Hold
on. I'm working back right here. If you only
look where you can't go, you will miss the riches
below. I must have known you would never get
rid of these birds, right? Of course not. They're
family. So I knew this would be here. What only
looks where it can't go cage bird You will miss
the riches below The riches below I think now's
probably a good time to discuss my commission.
