00:00:48 RICKY GERVAIS: Testing. Testing.
00:00:51 Testing over the credits.
00:00:56 "Ooh, we're the business people.
00:00:58 "Ooh, we want our credit
00:01:02 Anyway.
00:01:03 The story you're about to see
00:01:05 where the human race has never evolved
00:01:09 This is a typical town in that world.
00:01:11 As you can see, people have jobs and cars
00:01:16 but everyone tells the absolute truth.
00:01:18 There's no such thing
00:01:22 People say exactly what they think,
00:01:25 and sometimes that can come across
00:01:27 But they've got no choice in the matter.
00:01:30 Look, I'm not coming in to work today.
00:01:32 No, I'm not sick. I just hate it there.
00:01:34 Oh, your baby is so ugly. It's like a little rat.
00:01:38 Wow! I just took one of the biggest poops
00:01:43 What are you ordering?
00:01:44 GERVAIS: So if you're a chubby,
00:01:47 that's Mark Bellison, by the way,
00:01:49 then you're all alone
00:01:52 But later on in the story,
00:01:56 when he tells the world's first lie.
00:01:58 He doesn't even know it himself yet.
00:02:01 So look forward to that.
00:02:07 (EXHALES)
00:02:13 Don't blow this.
00:02:28 -Hi!
00:02:30 You're early.
00:02:31 I was just masturbating.
00:02:33 That makes me think of your vagina.
00:02:37 I'm Mark. How are you?
00:02:40 A little frustrated at the moment.
00:02:41 Also, equally depressed and pessimistic
00:02:46 Sure.
00:02:47 I'm Anna. Come on in.
00:02:51 Um... Just wait there.
00:02:54 I need to finish getting ready.
00:02:56 While doing that,
00:02:58 and try to finish masturbating
00:03:00 (CHUCKLES)
00:03:12 I feel awkward now about being early.
00:03:15 ANNA: Yeah,
00:03:17 and not really looking forward
00:03:19 but the thought of being alone
00:03:21 scares both my mother and me equally.
00:03:24 Sure.
00:03:33 Oh.
00:03:37 I'm thinking you've started masturbating,
00:03:43 And you said you were gonna
00:03:50 I'm worried the restaurant I've picked
00:03:55 It's all I can afford
00:03:58 in my situation.
00:04:01 I know I'm in my 40s,
00:04:03 but I haven't got any
00:04:07 Also, my boss said
00:04:18 Wow!
00:04:19 I just masturbated.
00:04:20 That makes me horny.
00:04:23 I don't find you attractive.
00:04:24 Oh!
00:04:26 Shall we?
00:04:28 Yeah.
00:04:30 -After you.
00:04:33 (SIGHS)
00:04:38 -This is not as nice as I remember it.
00:04:41 Hi. I'm threatened by you.
00:04:44 Mark Bellison. Table for two.
00:04:47 Of course. Come with me.
00:04:53 MARK: Thank you.
00:04:56 Thank you.
00:04:58 -Plastic.
00:05:00 -Hi.
00:05:02 -Hello.
00:05:05 That only makes this worse.
00:05:06 (CLEARS THROAT) Can I get
00:05:08 -ANNA: Yes.
00:05:10 I'll have a mango margarita,
00:05:12 and I'll probably have three more drinks
00:05:17 -Your sister?
00:05:18 -Daughter?
00:05:20 She's way out of your league.
00:05:21 (STAMMERS)
00:05:22 Thank you.
00:05:31 Shall I ask you
00:05:33 Yes.
00:05:34 How do you spend your days?
00:05:36 I get up at 8:00 in the morning
00:05:37 because the noise from my alarm clock
00:05:39 And I lean over and just turn it off.
00:05:42 Turn it off.
00:05:45 -Oh. What did you want to know?
00:05:46 -Well, do you have a job?
00:05:49 -What do you do?
00:05:51 -Do you enjoy that?
00:05:52 -Oh!
00:05:54 which is money.
00:05:56 And also the hours are pretty good
00:05:58 which I spend on things I like,
00:06:02 even though I know it's bad for me.
00:06:04 But I'd rather just get all the money
00:06:08 Oh, sure.
00:06:10 Tell me something about you, though.
00:06:12 You already know a lot about me.
00:06:14 You know I'm good-looking
00:06:19 And you know that I'm successful
00:06:20 because you've seen my apartment
00:06:24 And you know I'm happy
00:06:27 -Are you always happy?
00:06:29 Some days I stay in bed, eating and crying.
00:06:35 -There you go.
00:06:37 -I had a little sip of this from right there, so...
00:06:42 You guys ready to order
00:06:45 I'm good.
00:06:46 Oh! I'll have the Caesar salad with chicken
00:06:50 but I also think I deserve
00:06:53 I'll have the fish tacos
00:06:56 It's all I know.
00:06:58 Great. I'll get those two started.
00:07:01 If I gave you my number, would you call me?
00:07:02 No.
00:07:05 (CELLPHONE RINGING)
00:07:06 Sorry. It's my mom.
00:07:08 I think she's probably checking on the date.
00:07:11 Hello.
00:07:13 Yes, I'm with him right now.
00:07:15 No, not very attractive.
00:07:19 It's all right, though.
00:07:22 A bit fat.
00:07:24 Has a funny little snub nose.
00:07:28 (EXCLAIMS)
00:07:29 Kind of like a frog in the facial area.
00:07:33 Yeah, but...
00:07:34 No, I won't be sleeping with him tonight.
00:07:36 No. Probably not even a kiss.
00:07:39 Okay. You, too. Bye. Sorry about that.
00:07:42 It's all right. Don't think twice.
00:07:45 -She's all right...
00:07:54 Thanks for going on this date with me.
00:07:57 You're way out of my league,
00:08:01 and I'll probably never
00:08:05 I had a better time than I thought I'd have.
00:08:08 But I won't really know how I feel about you
00:08:12 -Sure.
00:08:13 Well, call me tomorrow
00:08:17 I might.
00:08:19 Oh! Thank you for kissing me on the cheek.
00:08:21 I know you didn't have to do...
00:08:28 MAN: (ON TV)...first used
00:08:32 was, for the most part,
00:08:41 Hi, I'm Bob: I'm the spokesperson
00:08:44 I'm here today to ask you
00:08:46 I'm sure it's the drink
00:08:48 and if you still enjoy it, well,
00:08:49 to buy it again sometime soon.
00:08:52 It's basically just brown sugar water.
00:08:53 Haven't changed the ingredients much lately,
00:08:55 so there's nothing new
00:08:57 Changed the can around a little bit, though.
00:08:59 You can see the colours are different there,
00:09:00 and we've added a polar bear,
00:09:03 Coke's very high in sugar,
00:09:05 it can lead to obesity in children and adults
00:09:09 And that's it. It's Coke.
00:09:12 I'm Bob: I work for Coke.
00:09:15 That's all.
00:09:17 (SLURPING)
00:09:19 It's a bit sweet.
00:09:21 Thank you.
00:09:33 (ELEVATOR DINGS)
00:09:38 Hold the elevator.
00:09:41 -Hey, Mark. How's it going?
00:09:45 I went on a date last night with a girl
00:09:48 and she'll most likely never call me again.
00:09:50 Oh, and I think I'm getting fired today.
00:09:55 Oh, I'm not too great, actually.
00:09:58 I've been throwing up pain killers all night
00:10:00 because I'm too afraid to take enough
00:10:05 (ELEVATOR DINGS)
00:10:08 See you tomorrow.
00:10:11 If I'm not dead, then sure.
00:10:15 -Good. That's settled, then.
00:10:17 MARK: Cheers.
00:10:36 This isn't natural!
00:10:40 Why am I wearing clothes?
00:10:43 Why is there all this concrete?
00:10:46 I woke up this morning and realised,
00:10:48 but also the thought
00:10:51 That should make me not love you,
00:10:54 (GROANS IN FRUSTRATION)
00:11:06 I just don't want to go in there today.
00:11:12 All of Lecture Films' productions are written,
00:11:17 In fact, this building is
00:11:21 scour the world's past events
00:11:25 entertaining and even hilarious moments
00:11:28 which are then turned into scripts,
00:11:33 to read off of teleprompters
00:11:37 Now, if you'll just fol low me over here,
00:11:40 of Lecture Films'
00:11:43 Napoleon: 1812 to 1813.
00:11:48 MALE NARRATOR: Coming soon
00:11:51 screenplay by Brad Kessler
00:11:55 Napoleon: 1812 to 1813.
00:11:59 And so Napoleon invaded Russia
00:12:03 with a brute force
00:12:07 armed with muskets
00:12:11 Crippled by disease and hunger,
00:12:14 Napoleon's men persevered.
00:12:17 It was then that...
00:12:19 Oh, look, everyone.
00:12:20 There's Mark Bellison,
00:12:24 Mark is one of Lecture Films'
00:12:28 I also hear he's most likely
00:12:30 (ALL EXCLAIMING)
00:12:32 Let's go to the editing bay, where we can
00:12:35 on the upcoming Lecture Films feature,
00:12:39 (ALL EXCLAIMING)
00:12:50 Morning, Shelley.
00:12:52 Hi, Mark.
00:12:53 I realise more and more every day
00:12:56 and how incompetent you are at yours.
00:12:59 Any messages?
00:13:00 Anthony is coming up with in the hour to see
00:13:04 If he can't, he said
00:13:07 Anything else?
00:13:10 Well, I told everyone
00:13:12 and they shouldn't expect
00:13:13 so no one left any messages.
00:13:15 Okay. Next time...
00:13:16 I don't think there'll be a next time.
00:13:18 ... take the message,
00:13:20 You're almost definitely getting fired.
00:13:22 Yeah, but I'm still here now, so...
00:13:24 Seems like a waste of time.
00:13:25 No, it's not.
00:13:27 You're getting paid for it, so let's
00:13:30 -But everyone knows that you are.
00:13:32 Okay. But everyone knows you are.
00:13:37 I'll be in the office, don't...
00:13:39 Okay.
00:13:42 You should probably
00:13:44 SHELLEY: No, thank you!
00:14:03 Anthony?
00:14:12 Come in. What?
00:14:18 Come in.
00:14:23 Well, you look really depressed today.
00:14:27 -Anthony, don't fire me.
00:14:29 The 1300s, they're so boring.
00:14:31 And the last two scripts
00:14:36 They were about the Black Plague.
00:14:37 It's the 1300s.
00:14:40 It's not totally your fault, Mark.
00:14:43 -No, no, I can make it work.
00:14:46 Just give it up.
00:14:47 Nothing new is gonna
00:14:50 At Lecture Films, we just want to take
00:14:54 and have them read the stories
00:15:00 I'm having...
00:15:02 Can I... Do you mind if I...
00:15:04 -I come back and do this tomorrow?
00:15:06 No, I just got nervous about firing you.
00:15:10 Hey, maybe... Maybe if I just sleep on it.
00:15:13 Well, then I'll be thinking,
00:15:16 -You're fired.
00:15:19 Yeah. Oh, boy.
00:15:23 (COMPUTER CHIMES)
00:15:26 (SIGHS)
00:15:29 ANNA: Mark, I woke up this morning,
00:15:31 while I did enjoy your company,
00:15:33 based on your looks, your financial situation
00:15:36 I have no interest in you romantically.
00:15:38 I'm just too far out of your league: Anna.
00:15:41 (G ROAN IN G)
00:15:42 Is that 'cause you just got fired?
00:15:44 And 'cause I just got an e-mail
00:15:48 Yeah, my favourite part was when she said
00:15:53 You read my e-mail?
00:15:54 Yeah. Everyone's read it.
00:15:56 It's the best one you've had all year.
00:15:58 Not for me.
00:16:00 I'm gonna get a snack. Do you want a snack?
00:16:14 So?
00:16:15 I loathed almost every minute
00:16:20 So, what are you gonna do now?
00:16:23 I don't know.
00:16:24 But I don't hold out much hope for the future.
00:16:26 I don't have a lot of hope for you either,
00:16:29 -Bye, Mark.
00:16:31 -Mark!
00:16:32 -Do you mind if I talk to you for a second?
00:16:34 -I heard the news they were firing you, huh?
00:16:36 -That must be hard.
00:16:39 Well, I just wanted to say good bye,
00:16:42 -You've always...
00:16:44 -I didn't know that.
00:16:47 -What, you told other people you hated me?
00:16:49 I even turned some people against you.
00:16:51 Is that why you came over to talk to me?
00:16:53 No, I came to say good bye to you,
00:16:56 and the rest of it
00:16:57 Came out, yeah, sure.
00:16:59 I always knew that the Black Plague
00:17:03 You're an awful writer,
00:17:06 And you're a little man-bitch.
00:17:08 (MOUTHING) Man-bitch.
00:17:09 But I've always been threatened by you
00:17:13 because there's something about you
00:17:16 and I hate things that I don't understand.
00:17:18 But you'll always be a loser.
00:17:21 And I'll always be more successful
00:17:23 and that's just the way it is.
00:17:25 Oh, and Shelley thinks
00:17:28 -No, I never said that.
00:17:30 I said, "Fat faggot.
00:17:33 "Fatty, fat faggot. "
00:17:35 I stand corrected.
00:17:36 And I was upset with
00:17:37 Doesn't matter.
00:17:39 (EXCLAIMS)
00:17:40 Mark, try to enjoy your loser life.
00:17:44 (EXHALES)
00:17:45 SHELLEY: He's awesome.
00:17:46 Well, no.
00:17:48 Your opinion. Bye, Shelley.
00:17:51 I look forward to never seeing you.
00:18:05 NURSE: Mrs Johnson,
00:18:13 -Hi.
00:18:17 I already have. Martha Bellison, I'm her son.
00:18:20 Ooh, it's good you're here.
00:18:22 You should say your final good byes today.
00:18:24 Yeah. Someone says that to me
00:18:26 She's at the top of our death pool.
00:18:37 You look like my dead son!
00:18:39 Each day is worse than the last.
00:18:42 I'm on pills that make everything orange!
00:18:47 (STATIC CRACKLING)
00:18:54 Oh, Mum, this is so depressing.
00:18:58 Telly's broken.
00:19:00 It's not broken.
00:19:01 You probably sat on the remote
00:19:03 Yeah, you have, look.
00:19:05 Gotta put it on channel three
00:19:07 I don't understand anything you just said.
00:19:10 That makes me scared and angry.
00:19:13 (SIGHS)
00:19:14 Lost my job today, Mum.
00:19:15 I'm in my 40s,
00:19:19 Things aren't much better for me here.
00:19:24 We could be homeless.
00:19:26 Don't you wish you could change things?
00:19:29 Don't you wish you weren't such a loser?
00:19:33 Well, I don't think I'm a loser.
00:19:35 You are, Mum. Definitely.
00:19:36 We come from a long line of losers.
00:19:39 You're a...
00:19:41 A loser.
00:19:43 I love you, Mark.
00:19:45 I love you, too, Mum.
00:19:47 Good luck with finding a job, eh?
00:19:50 I'll go.
00:19:51 (INHALES DEEPLY)
00:19:53 (STATIC CRACKLING)
00:19:54 Oops.
00:19:56 (ALARM BEEPING)
00:19:58 MARK: Shut up!
00:19:59 Haven't even got a job.
00:20:03 (PO U N D IN G ON DOOR)
00:20:05 (SIGHS)
00:20:11 -Hi.
00:20:13 Yeah, I was gonna come
00:20:15 I know. That's why I'm here for the rent.
00:20:19 -Yeah, I haven't got it.
00:20:21 I got about $300 left in my ban k account.
00:20:23 -The rent's 800.
00:20:26 Then you're evicted.
00:20:31 Well, how am I gonna do that?
00:20:32 You got $300. Rent a truck.
00:20:41 What can I do for you today, sir?
00:20:43 Just been evicted from my apartment.
00:20:45 So I have to withdraw whatever I've got
00:20:49 Think I have to close my account.
00:20:52 Probably gonna be homeless. Mark Bellison.
00:20:55 Unfortunately, sir,
00:20:57 so I'm not gonna be able to perform
00:21:01 But I can help you with a withdrawal.
00:21:04 -All of it. Whatever's left.
00:21:07 Can you tell me
00:21:12 Sir?
00:21:16 MARK: $800.
00:21:23 Sir?
00:21:25 -$800.
00:21:27 I have $800 in my account.
00:21:29 (COMPUTER CHIMES)
00:21:30 Oh! The system just came back up.
00:21:33 -System seems to be back up, guys.
00:21:35 Just a second while I access your account.
00:21:39 Wait a second.
00:21:41 It says here that you only have
00:21:44 but you said you wanted to withdraw 800?
00:21:47 Yeah.
00:21:48 I apologise, sir.
00:21:49 It seems our system has made a mistake.
00:21:52 Did you want large bills or small?
00:21:55 -B ills, large.
00:21:58 That's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, $800.
00:22:03 Is there anything else
00:22:05 Uh-u h!
00:22:06 Sorry for the inconvenience.
00:22:08 (MUMBLES)
00:22:40 -What are you doing here?
00:22:56 Come on!
00:22:58 (EXCLAIMING GLEEFULLY)
00:23:00 MARK: Today, I stumbled upon something
00:23:06 What I've done, they'll write about
00:23:09 And yet, moments ago, it was unfathomable,
00:23:15 It's hard to describe.
00:23:17 And it was as easy as...
00:23:21 I said something that wasn't.
00:23:26 Huh?
00:23:27 I said something that wasn't. I...
00:23:32 What's the word for it?
00:23:34 Of course there isn't. I invented it.
00:23:38 Watch this. Jim!
00:23:43 What?
00:23:46 My name is Doug.
00:23:50 -Your name is Doug?
00:23:53 That's so weird I never knew your real name.
00:23:59 Come on!
00:24:01 What's my name?
00:24:02 -It's Doug.
00:24:03 No, it's not! It's Mark!
00:24:06 -Your name is Mark?
00:24:08 -Mark suits you even better.
00:24:12 Okay, you're not getting it.
00:24:14 Marko.
00:24:17 -I'm black.
00:24:19 You're very light-skinned, but I can see it.
00:24:21 -I always wanted a black friend.
00:24:24 I'm an Eskimo.
00:24:25 Fantastic!
00:24:26 Yeah, I've never seen a black Eskimo.
00:24:28 I'm a pi rate.
00:24:29 -I didn't know they still had those.
00:24:32 I'm a l ion tamer, and I'm wearing a wig.
00:24:34 Aren't you scared you'll get bitten one day?
00:24:36 That's a fantastic wig.
00:24:37 -I invented the bicycle.
00:24:39 Can I get a discount on a ten-speed?
00:24:41 I'm a one-armed German space explorer.
00:24:44 When's your launch date?

00:24:47 That's a very lifelike prosthetic.
00:24:49 This is incredible.
00:24:50 Come on, let's up the stakes a little bit.
00:24:53 If you could make the world
00:24:59 what would you do?
00:25:00 If you could change anything,
00:25:05 what's the first thing you'd do?
00:25:07 If I could do anything?
00:25:08 Anything at all?
00:25:10 Anything at all.
00:25:14 I would touch girls' boobs.
00:25:17 Yes.
00:25:20 And maybe have sex with them, too.
00:25:22 Oh, agreed. That, too.
00:25:26 Okay. Let's try that.
00:25:31 -Where are you going?
00:25:51 Don't look at me. I'm not attracted to you.
00:25:52 -No, listen.
00:25:55 The world's gonna end
00:26:01 Do we have time to get to a motel,
00:26:09 Motel.
00:26:14 WOMAN: Help me get my dress off.
00:26:15 Hold on, wait, wait.
00:26:17 No! We have to have sex.
00:26:19 I don't even know your...
00:26:21 Think of the children!
00:26:22 Let's have a drink.
00:26:25 -$10 for a beer. That is...
00:26:28 -We are all going to die!
00:26:30 Well, of course this isn't right,
00:26:32 We have to have sex right now!
00:26:33 Oh, hold on. Hi, NASA. Yeah, it's me.
00:26:37 (EXCLAIMS QUESTIONINGLY)
00:26:38 I'll let her know. That is good news.
00:26:41 -Now.
00:26:43 World's not gonna end. We don't have to...
00:26:44 -(GAS PS) We're gonna live!
00:26:47 We're gonna live!
00:26:49 Thank you! Oh, thank you!
00:26:55 -I've gotta go.
00:26:57 We've been through so much together.
00:27:00 (DOOR CLOSES)
00:27:08 Well, that was one of
00:27:12 Did you invent a new kind of bike?
00:27:15 What else would you do?
00:27:19 -Boob.
00:27:22 What's the next thing you'd do?
00:27:26 -Eh?
00:27:31 I'd get money.
00:27:35 I'd get all the money.
00:27:38 Come on.
00:27:40 -Where are we going?
00:27:42 I'll drive.
00:27:47 I shouldn't be d riving.
00:27:49 But I don't care. I'm trying to h it bottom.
00:27:51 (SIREN WAILING)
00:27:54 H ere comes bottom. Pull over.
00:27:57 Just stop.
00:28:02 All right, do me a favour.
00:28:05 GREG: I think I'm gonna puke.
00:28:07 MARK: Do not puke
00:28:08 GREG: Don't tell me not to puke
00:28:12 Hello, Officer. How are you?
00:28:15 Well, I'm relieved
00:28:19 There's a much higher probability
00:28:21 shoot you without provocation,
00:28:24 That's good.
00:28:25 -I don't want to go to jail.
00:28:28 Have you been drinking
00:28:30 -Yeah, a lot of drink.
00:28:33 I'm gonna need you
00:28:34 Officer, you don't need to do that.
00:28:36 I'm gonna say that,
00:28:38 you can't afford my bribe.
00:28:39 Why? How much do you charge?
00:28:41 5,400.
00:28:43 That's a lot.
00:28:44 That's too much, I think. Why so high?
00:28:46 I have an expensive cocaine habit.
00:28:49 But, you know, it's more than that.
00:28:51 I feel like when I set the price up higher,
00:28:56 and helps me preserve
00:28:58 Sort of feeling of self worth if you're... Yeah.
00:29:00 Well, it was nice chatting with you.
00:29:02 Anywho, I'm still gonna need you
00:29:05 You're gonna wanna blow, not suck there.
00:29:10 (SNORING)
00:29:15 (BEEPING)
00:29:17 Oh, yeah. That's pretty much off the chart.
00:29:20 -You're going to jail. Step out of the vehicle.
00:29:23 Sir, I'm gonna ask you to exit the vehicle
00:29:26 -Might as well.
00:29:27 All right! That's it! Get out of the car!
00:29:33 -You should be ashamed of yourself!
00:29:35 I'm gonna think about this later.
00:29:36 -Officer. Listen, no, no, no!
00:29:39 Listen to what I've got to say.
00:29:42 He's not drunk.
00:29:46 I've made a terrible mistake.
00:29:48 I do this sometimes. I get a little...
00:29:51 It's the adrenaline.
00:29:52 Well, actually, it arouses me.
00:29:55 Sexually?
00:29:57 -Oh, that...
00:29:59 Please. Please let me help you.
00:30:01 Can you forgive me? Did you eat something?
00:30:05 -You'll drive?
00:30:08 Sorry.
00:30:10 (LAUGHING)
00:30:11 That was awesome.
00:30:13 -Stop laughing. I'm gonna be sick.

00:30:34 We're not gonna throw it away.
00:30:36 -Good luck.
00:30:39 -Hi.
00:30:40 Chips, please.
00:30:42 There's a very good chance
00:30:44 -I know.
00:30:46 there's an even better chance that,
00:30:49 -I know.
00:30:51 -like the ones that use computers.
00:30:53 -Good luck.
00:31:02 -Hi, guys.
00:31:03 If I could be a stripper, I would,

00:31:22 The house always wins in the long run.
00:31:25 Because of the zeroes on the board,
00:31:27 every bet is slightly favoured
00:31:32 35 black. No one wins.
00:31:34 Look at that u n usual thing, I've never...
00:31:38 It's gone now. I'm on 35 black, by the way.
00:31:45 We have a winner.
00:31:47 MAN: Good job!
00:31:49 CROUPIER: Congratulations, sir.
00:31:50 I just won the major jackpot on that machine,
00:31:54 Oh, I'm sorry about that, sir.
00:31:56 Let me get that fixed for you.
00:32:00 Thank you.
00:32:02 We've got a major winner here.

00:32:29 Good.
00:32:32 Oh.
00:32:33 How's it going with you?
00:32:35 Pretty awful.
00:32:37 I was up last night
00:32:40 like, suffocation suicide.
00:32:44 I think that's what I'm gonna do tonight.
00:32:48 Later.
00:32:51 Frank.
00:32:55 Yeah?
00:32:56 Don't do that.
00:33:00 Why? I mean...
00:33:02 You know, I'm miserable.
00:33:05 I'll care.
00:33:07 But you're a loser,
00:33:09 Things are gonna be okay.
00:33:13 They are?
00:33:14 Yeah. You're gonna meet someone.
00:33:16 You're gonna be happy.
00:33:23 I shouldn't kill myself?
00:33:24 Definitely not.
00:33:29 Okay, so I don't need to kill myself.
00:33:33 Wow! I thought...
00:33:35 I thought that like... That suffocation idea,
00:33:39 I thought that was like
00:33:41 It wasn't.
00:33:42 Wow!
00:33:46 My night's opened up.
00:33:49 Do you wanna hang out or something?
00:33:51 Oh, not really.
00:33:53 It's all right. It's okay.
00:33:55 No! Good idea.
00:33:59 Let's hang out. I'll see you tonight.

00:36:29 Listen, I know you said you didn't wanna go
00:36:33 but I'm different now.
00:36:38 Are you better looking?
00:36:39 No. More powerful.
00:36:43 Have you been to the gym?
00:36:44 No. I joined a gym, but just...
00:36:50 I think you'll hardly recognise me.
00:36:51 Did you buy new clothes?
00:36:52 No. Sorry, can we just meet up? It'd be best.
00:36:55 You did admit yourself that,
00:36:59 If you had an okay time, then please say yes.

00:37:44 that took place during

00:38:30 Did you come to beg for your job back?
00:38:33 Everybody!!
00:38:34 That's the loser that thought
00:38:36 would make an interesting film.
00:38:37 Hey! Good luck, douche bag.
00:38:42 -You can't go in there.
00:38:44 Oh, then go right in.
00:38:47 Talk to you later.
00:38:50 Hi. That was the head of the studio.
00:38:56 Why are you here?
00:38:58 Well, when you fired me,
00:39:04 -I knew it.
00:39:06 I went for a walk, right out of town.
00:39:09 And I came across a desert,
00:39:14 I don't do well
00:39:17 And then when I woke up,
00:39:22 And I unearthed it,
00:39:26 Really old. Seven hundred years old.
00:39:29 And in that chest was this.
00:39:33 What is it?
00:39:34 It's a never-before-heard event from history.
00:39:38 When does it take place?
00:39:40 1300s.
00:39:41 Oh, come on, no, Mark!
00:39:43 Mark, I've already told you,
00:39:47 It's not about the Black Plague!
00:39:51 It's about... Can I just read it, please?
00:39:54 Get excited. Don't tap, get excited.

00:39:58 because this is one of the best discoveries

00:40:08 And you can be part of it.

00:43:16 he had no choice
00:43:18 What kind of crime?
00:43:20 Burglary. Houses, mainly.
00:43:30 What are you doing here?
00:43:31 It's Monday at noon.
00:43:33 If you must know,
00:43:35 I've come home early.
00:43:37 More importantly, what are you doing?
00:43:39 Well, I was gonna rob your house.
00:43:41 I don't like that idea. Not a fan of that at all.
00:43:42 Well, I'm not gonna do it now
00:43:44 And do you know what's gonna happen?
00:43:45 I'm gonna call the police,
00:43:47 Well, I'm just gonna leave,
00:43:48 -What is your name?
00:43:50 (LAUGHING) Good to meet you.
00:43:51 You've got two options. Option one,
00:43:54 Arrest you there,
00:43:57 Or option two, you just come in
00:43:59 -No, I'll wait.
00:44:02 -Come on in then. Do you want a cup of tea?
00:44:04 MARK: He spent the last years
00:44:07 I never really knew him.
00:44:08 But I've been blessed
00:44:13 I had a wonderful mother who raised me.
00:44:15 -Oh, that's sweet.
00:44:17 Where is she?
00:44:19 At an old people's home.
00:44:21 But I'm gonna get her out of there tomorrow.
00:44:26 I'm gonna get her a mansion,
00:44:27 so she can spend
00:44:29 That's nice.
00:44:32 -Compliments from the chef.
00:44:34 I don't know what's wrong with him today,
00:44:36 They look fine to me.
00:44:37 Well, you're stupid.
00:44:45 I was thinking.
00:44:47 Now I'm obviously rich and successful and...
00:44:51 Maybe I'm in your league
00:44:59 What would be the point?
00:45:03 We might enjoy it.
00:45:07 Well, I do like you
00:45:11 And if we were to get together and procreate,
00:45:13 I would like the offspring
00:45:17 to be well taken care of, financially stable.
00:45:20 I also think you'd make a good father
00:45:24 Fantastic.
00:45:27 Unfortunately, none of that changes the fact
00:45:29 that you'd still be contributing
00:45:36 I don't want little fat kids with snub noses.

00:46:00 They said I'm probably gonna die tonight.
00:46:03 What?
00:46:05 Hello, there.
00:46:07 You must be Martha's son.
00:46:08 What do you mean, she's gonna die tonight?
00:46:10 It does not look very good.
00:46:13 Her heart is very weak.
00:46:16 Her blood pressure is dropping rapidly,
00:46:19 and she will probably suffer
00:46:24 Yes. Still going to die.

00:46:32 it's fajita night downstairs in the cafeteria,
00:46:36 so you might wanna grab yourself
00:46:40 Okay?
00:46:47 I'm so scared, Mark.
00:46:50 People don't talk about it,
00:46:56 One minute, you're alive,
00:47:00 and then just like that, it's all gone.
00:47:05 This is it, Mark.
00:47:08 Few more hours like this and then

00:47:51 You're wrong about
00:47:57 It's not an eternity of nothingness.
00:47:59 Huh?
00:48:01 You go to your favourite place
00:48:05 Yeah. And everyone you've ever loved
00:48:11 And you'll be young again.

00:52:20 about what happens after you die.
00:52:23 Oh, this is bad.
00:52:25 I just need to get... I know, I'm sorry.
00:52:28 Oopsie! Excuse me. Um, oh, excuse me.
00:52:31 (CHUCKLES)
00:52:32 Quick.
00:52:34 Come in.
00:52:36 Yeah.
00:52:40 Just tell me what you told your mom.
00:52:42 I don't think I should. Anything can happen.
00:52:44 I've got to keep my mouth shut from now on.
00:52:47 Whatever you said
00:52:50 I mean, I don't think you have
00:52:52 Yes, I do. I could walk out that door now.
00:52:54 I could get on the first plane to Namibia.
00:52:57 Just tell me what you said, Mark.
00:53:00 My mum was dying, she was scared,
00:53:04 and she said she didn't want to
00:53:08 So I said, "You're wrong about what happens
00:53:12 And I told her, I said,
00:53:15 "It's not a world of nothingness.
00:53:17 "You go to the best place ever,
00:53:22 "and you have an eternity of joy. "
00:53:25 I made her happy.
00:53:32 How do you know these things?
00:53:34 Well, I...
00:53:37 Oh, that makes me happy.
00:53:40 You have to tell them everything you know.
00:53:43 Listen to me, you don't understand.
00:53:46 Didn't you say that it made her happy
00:53:48 -Yes.
00:53:50 -Good.
00:53:52 to do the same for all of these people.
00:54:01 Uh, okay.
00:54:04 I need some time.
00:54:09 You sure I should do this?
00:54:12 Of course you should.
00:54:13 Mark, what you know
00:54:19 It's the most important thing
00:54:25 I'll let you work.
00:54:39 (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
00:54:41 MARK: Come in.
00:54:44 I brought pizza.
00:54:47 How come you never told me
00:54:49 -Uh, I didn't...
00:54:50 It's one thing that you invented
00:54:52 Just keep working, don't worry about...
00:54:55 I've known him for a long time,
00:54:59 -I got plain, and I got...
00:55:03 I got another plain.
00:55:09 MALE REPORTER: In London, England,

00:55:54 Are you ready?
00:55:56 -I guess so.
00:55:58 I wish I had something better
00:56:02 Or just even better paper.
00:56:10 -That feels better.
00:56:12 SHELLEY: Just...
00:56:14 Just tell them what you know.
00:56:16 -GREG: Good luck out there, man.

00:57:00 I guess
00:57:03 you heard about the stuff
00:57:07 That's why you're here.

00:57:41 What does he look like?
00:57:42 Uh, tall, big hands for making stuff.
00:57:47 What ethnicity is he?
00:57:48 Uh, he's a new type of ethnicity.
00:57:52 He's a mixture of all our ethnicities.
00:57:55 -Does he live in the clouds?
00:57:56 -Can we see him?
00:57:58 He lives higher than the clouds,
00:58:00 -So he lives in space.
00:58:03 So then the thermosphere?
00:58:04 MARK: Sorry, people. I've got a lot
00:58:08 Man lives in the sky, you can't see him.
00:58:13 Good. "Number two,
00:58:15 "when you die, you don't disappear
00:58:19 "Instead, you go to a really great place. "
00:58:22 (CROWD EXCLAIMING APPROVINGLY)
00:58:23 MARK: "Number three,
00:58:25 "in that place, everyone will get a mansion. "
00:58:28 (CROWD LAUGHING)
00:58:30 (CROWD APPLAUDING)
00:58:34 -What kind of mansion?
00:58:38 Ah, I was thinking of a horrible mansion!
00:58:40 Well, no.
00:58:41 It's the best mansion you could ever think of.
00:58:44 Not the one you're thinking of
00:58:47 Whatever the best mansion is you'd like,
00:58:51 (CLEARING THROAT) "Number four,
00:58:53 "when you die,
00:58:56 Will they have their own mansions?
00:58:58 Yeah. Of course. Everyone gets a mansion.
00:59:00 What if I want them to live in my mansion?
00:59:01 Well, that's fine. They'll leave their mansion.
00:59:05 -What happens to their mansion?
00:59:08 Can we... "Number five,
00:59:10 (SIGHS)
00:59:12 "when you die, there will be free ice cream
00:59:16 "All day and all night,
00:59:21 -Even bad flavours?
00:59:23 You just said every flavour I could think of.
00:59:25 Oh, no. I just thought of vanilla and skunks.
00:59:28 Well, don't eat that, then.
00:59:30 I just thought
00:59:32 Don't put that on the ice cream, then!
00:59:35 Can we... Please. "Number six,
00:59:38 "if you do bad things, you won't get to go
00:59:42 Where will you go?
00:59:44 A terrible place, the worst place imaginable.
00:59:47 What constitutes a bad thing?
00:59:49 Awful crimes, rape, murder, things like that.
00:59:52 -Is punching someone bad?
00:59:54 -What if they're trying to hurt you?
00:59:56 -Is cursing bad?
00:59:58 -What about being late for work?
01:00:00 I mean, you might lose your job
01:00:04 but it won't affect what happens
01:00:06 What about if you forget to feed your dog?
01:00:10 MARK: Well, then, if you forget,
01:00:12 If the dog dies, it's bad, but it's not...
01:00:16 Don't buy a dog just to starve it
01:00:20 If I do just one bad thing,
01:00:23 No!
01:00:26 You get three chances.
01:00:29 Three bad things and you're out.
01:00:31 Like baseball!
01:00:32 (CROWD EXCLAIMS)
01:00:34 Sort of. So, anything else?
01:00:37 ALL: Yeah!
01:00:38 -Oh, please, can we just move on?
01:00:41 We have to know everything that's bad.
01:00:43 CROWD: Yeah.
01:00:44 (ALL CLAMOURING)
01:00:47 Fine.
01:00:48 Is it bad to wear pants?
01:00:49 Oh. What the...
01:00:53 No. There is no hairstyle
01:00:59 We've been through this.
01:01:00 The main ones are things like hurting people
01:01:05 Taking their stuff, doing things
01:01:10 murdering people on purpose.
01:01:13 Okay. "Number nine,
01:01:15 "the man in the sky who controls everything
01:01:18 "decides if you go to the good place
01:01:21 "He also decides who lives and who dies. "
01:01:23 -Does he cause natural disasters?
01:01:26 -Did he cause my mom to get cancer?
01:01:29 Did he cause that tree to land
01:01:32 -Yeah.
01:01:38 Yeah.
01:01:39 (CROWD EXCLAIMING IN DISAPPOINTMENT)
01:01:44 I say fuck the man that lives in the sky!
01:01:46 (CROWD CHEERING)
01:01:50 Yeah, that guy's evil!
01:01:51 That guy's a coward, hiding up there
01:01:54 Why doesn't he do it to our faces?
01:01:55 We have to stop that evil bastard
01:01:58 (CROWD CHEERING)
01:02:02 MARK: Wait, wait, listen.
01:02:05 The man who lives in the sky
01:02:10 is also responsible for
01:02:13 (CROWD EXCLAIMING APPROVINGLY)
01:02:14 He's the guy that saved my life
01:02:18 -Yes.
01:02:20 Yeah.
01:02:22 He killed my grand mother
01:02:24 You bet yeah.
01:02:26 So, he's the one
01:02:30 Yeah.
01:02:31 So, he's kind of a good guy,
01:02:35 Yeah. Right, but check this out, okay?
01:02:38 "Number ten, even if the man in the sky
01:02:42 "he makes up for it by giving you
01:02:47 (CROWD EXCLAIMING IN SATISFACTION)
01:02:49 As long as you don't do any of that
01:02:52 -Yeah, of course.
01:02:56 Yeah.
01:02:57 Well, that's everything I know.
01:02:59 (CROWD APPLAUDING)
01:03:07 How do you know all these things?
01:03:10 Because the man in the sky told me.
01:03:12 Yeah, well, how come we're just finding out
01:03:14 millions of years into our existence?
01:03:17 (SOFTLY) I don't know. He forgot.
01:03:21 Thank you.
01:03:22 (CROWD CLAMOURING)
01:03:29 Think that went well.

01:05:03 (CROWD CLAMOURING)
01:05:11 (FANS CHEERING)
01:05:33 -Cheers.
01:05:46 Did I ever tell you about the time
01:05:51 and there was a bear, and...
01:05:54 Wait, there was a burning building
01:05:56 Yeah, well, I heard a baby crying
01:06:02 not caring about my own safety,
01:06:06 It was the second storey, jumped out.
01:06:07 (MIMICS THUD)
01:06:09 I landed, baby safe. But then this bear...
01:06:11 -Wait, how did you survive?
01:06:13 No, how did you survive the jump?
01:06:15 I've seen you twist your ankle
01:06:16 Because on this occasion
01:06:21 -Oh.
01:06:22 What did you land in?
01:06:23 -Jam.
01:06:25 It was a barrel of jam.
01:06:29 Probably what attracted the bear
01:06:30 -Right.
01:06:33 The burning building, baby,
01:06:37 Shoot, no.
01:06:38 Yeah, classic. So, I land.
01:06:41 This bear is coming toward,
01:06:45 like that happy chap over there.
01:06:47 -What, sleeping, ugly fatty?
01:06:50 -He's not happy.
01:06:52 What do you mean?
01:06:56 MARK: You can't tell that
01:06:59 He could be the world's greatest poet.
01:07:02 Well, he probably is a loser. Bad example.
01:07:04 But I'm saying, it doesn't have to be,
01:07:09 Okay. What do you see
01:07:11 ANNA: Short, sweaty, bald guy.
01:07:13 -Right.
01:07:15 MARK: He's carrying a briefcase.
01:07:17 He's probably off to
01:07:19 He's probably a high-powered businessman.
01:07:22 You see more than I do.
01:07:24 Well, because, if you look...
01:07:27 What do you see when you see those guys?
01:07:29 ANNA: Mmm...
01:07:31 Two nerdy losers in hats?
01:07:35 Yeah. Good. Good observational skills.
01:07:39 But what I mean is, look beyond
01:07:45 They're holding hands. They're in love.
01:07:52 Hey, do me.
01:07:54 I mean, just what do you see?
01:07:58 You're pretty.
01:08:01 You've got a wonderful smile.
01:08:02 -Well, that's what everyone sees.
01:08:06 You're the sweetest,
01:08:10 And you've got a freckle there
01:08:13 You usually smile,
01:08:15 but sometimes you spend your day in bed,
01:08:18 You'll hold someone's hand
01:08:25 You're the most wonderful person
01:08:32 What do you see when you look at me?
01:08:40 You're chubby and you have a snub nose.
01:08:45 Yeah. That's about it.
01:08:47 (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
01:08:52 You're smart.
01:08:56 You're kind.
01:08:58 You're the sweetest man I've ever met.
01:09:02 You are definitely
01:09:06 And you are fun to be with.
01:09:09 And you see the world in a way
01:09:11 and I like the way you see the world.
01:09:15 And you're my best friend.
01:09:17 You make me happier
01:09:29 -Why can't we be together, then?
01:09:32 Little fat kids with snub noses.
01:09:38 It's a shame that being rich and famous
01:09:44 Because I love you.
01:09:49 Does being rich and famous
01:10:01 No.
01:10:02 It doesn't. O u r kids would be
01:10:13 BOB: (ON RADIO) Thanks for that, Jim.
01:10:16 Does he deserve all the money and fame
01:10:17 or is he just some fat loser
01:10:20 JIM: I say fat loser, Bob.
01:10:22 BOB: It's as simple as this, Jim.
01:10:24 He's fat, he's stupid-looking.
01:10:28 JIM: And what about the hundreds of people
01:10:30 I mean, don't those people have jobs?
01:10:32 BOB: Maybe they're all fat losers like him.
01:10:34 (BOTH LAUGHING)
01:10:36 JIM: Stay tuned, we got weather in five.

01:10:47 -"And the polar bear... "
01:10:49 Doesn't matter. Uh... "The end. "
01:10:52 -That's a strange ending.
01:10:55 And you want me to take this over
01:10:57 -Yeah.
01:10:58 Tell them to film that one this week.
01:11:01 Okay.
01:11:03 Tell them it's for kids.
01:11:05 Kids will love that, won't they?
01:11:07 Bears and ducks in cars.
01:11:11 -What's that?
01:11:13 -You want it?
01:11:16 Oh, I came to tell you
01:11:19 -Why not?
01:11:21 Who with?
01:11:23 -Brad Kessler.
01:11:27 You know what I think of him.
01:11:31 -To you. Not to me.
01:11:32 He's very sweet and kind to me.
01:11:34 Well, of course he is. Look at you!
01:11:37 -It would?
01:11:39 Do not get in with a shark.
01:11:42 -But don't go out with him.
01:11:45 -Well, he's an excel lent match for me.
01:11:48 -Why not?
01:11:50 If I don't sleep with him,
01:11:52 then he'll find another acceptable mate
01:11:54 -Then I'll miss out.
01:11:56 -Yes.
01:11:58 You haven't thought this through.
01:11:59 Because if I was going out
01:12:01 And if you were attractive, like Brad.
01:12:03 Yes. Well, why...
01:12:06 But I would... I would lose respect for you...
01:12:09 -Huh?
01:12:12 I would because I...
01:12:14 Just chat, just talk to him, sure.
01:12:16 But, listen, do not, whatever...
01:12:18 Let him know
01:12:21 Verbally, not with... Because he will then go,
01:12:25 "Oh, I... I want to date her...
01:12:28 Do not...
01:12:30 Do not have sex with anyone
01:12:35 is the rule.
01:12:38 Settled.
01:12:41 -Okay.
01:12:49 What's this?
01:12:50 Birthday coupon for sex.
01:12:54 (STAMMERING)
01:12:55 It's a coupon for birthday sex.
01:13:00 What do you get the man
01:13:02 (CHUCKLES)
01:13:04 -Sorry.
01:13:06 -No, no, no, stop.
01:13:11 Which is what you just said.
01:13:14 (IMITATING MARK) Do not sleep with anyone
01:13:17 That's what I said. But hold on, though.
01:13:21 -The rule is...
01:13:24 So we can't...
01:13:26 The coupon, it's just such a...
01:13:28 -Rule.
01:13:30 -But, I mean, you know...
01:13:31 (STUTTERING) It is, it is.
01:13:34 Now I can't redeem sex with this.
01:13:37 So you'd like what?
01:13:40 (CHUCKLES) Can't have sex with you.
01:13:43 You probably just prefer socks, right?
01:13:45 Yeah. Shitty little woollen ones,
01:13:48 BRAD: Hello?
01:13:49 Oh, he's coming.
01:13:52 Well, why have you invited him here?
01:13:54 I didn't. It was his idea.
01:13:56 I bet it was. It's my house.
01:13:58 -Anna.
01:14:00 BRAD: I know.
01:14:02 -Mark. You look like trash.
01:14:05 Let's go have some fun.
01:14:07 -Not too much.
01:14:09 That is a coupon for birthday sex.
01:14:11 -With you?
01:14:13 But he doesn't want it
01:14:15 -He'd rather have a pair of socks, right?
01:14:17 Oh, sure. Of course,
01:14:21 Well, maybe we just will.
01:14:24 Well, don't... I'm not happy for that. What...
01:14:29 I'll call you later.
01:14:37 (SIGHS)
01:14:39 (DOOR CLOSES)
01:14:40 -I thought we'd celebrate tonight.
01:14:42 Today I was handed
01:14:45 Not only am I the head writer
01:14:48 but today I was handed the reins
01:14:51 -Oh, that is exciting.
01:14:53 No other writer's ever had
01:14:55 let alone four of the most popular ones.
01:14:58 Mark's never had more than one century.
01:15:01 Mark also has the man in the sky
01:15:02 telling him stories
01:15:04 Yes, but does he look like this?
01:15:06 Does he have my genetics?
01:15:13 -No.
01:15:16 I'm gonna send that bottle back.
01:15:17 Not because it's turned, but because
01:15:21 Yes, sir.
01:15:23 Also, I think we're ready to order.
01:15:24 She will have the small Caesar salad
01:15:27 And I will have the fillet, rare,
01:15:31 it tastes good, and I'm important.
01:15:33 Excel lent.
01:15:35 I understand why you want me to have
01:15:38 -Maybe we could add some chicken.
01:15:42 We both know that one day
01:15:44 You know, get old, wrinkly, ugly.
01:15:48 Why throw a weight problem on top of it
01:15:52 Of course not.
01:15:56 (CELLPHONE RINGING)
01:15:57 Oh, I'm sorry. That must be my mom
01:16:00 She's very control ling and impatient.
01:16:03 Let me talk to her.
01:16:04 (STUTTERING) Okay.
01:16:07 (CLEARS THROAT)
01:16:09 Anna's mom, you're on with Brad Kessler.
01:16:12 -Yes, your daughter looks beautiful.
01:16:15 No, she hasn't blown it by boring me.
01:16:22 Okay, you're annoying me now.
01:16:25 Your voice is shrill. Good bye.
01:16:27 Sorry.
01:16:32 Thank you.
01:16:43 Mmm!
01:16:45 You know, you are
01:16:48 physically, genetically,
01:16:52 I agree.
01:16:53 And a large part of me just wants to bag you
01:16:55 because Mark's in love with you
01:16:57 Why do you hate Mark so much?
01:16:59 Because he's a loser.
01:17:01 I'm the one who should be living in
01:17:06 But I can have the one thing that he can't.
01:17:09 -You.
01:17:11 Because you are sensible.
01:17:13 You want to marry a strong genetic match
01:17:15 and maybe one day
01:17:19 Little fat kids with snub noses.
01:17:22 Exactly.
01:17:24 Exactly. Yeah.
01:17:30 (MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING)
01:17:41 MAN: The man in the sky,
01:17:45 has told us that we can do two bad things
01:17:49 So I say to you...
01:17:50 No. I won't move into your mansion with you
01:17:54 The more you push me away,
01:17:58 Out of the way, fatty!
01:18:00 Hey, you're Mark Bellison.
01:18:02 Yeah. You gonna apologise?
01:18:04 For what?
01:18:23 -Who wants another drink?
01:18:25 I'll take one.
01:18:28 Thanks.
01:18:31 What's going on?
01:18:32 What, I can't be depressed
01:18:34 'cause I've got a big house
01:18:37 What about you guys?
01:18:40 Since the man in the sky?
01:18:41 -Yeah, definitely.
01:18:44 Are you still lonely?
01:18:46 -Uh, no, I kind of gave up on that.
01:18:49 Well, because I was thinking
01:18:55 that'll be really great because it's eternal,
01:18:58 you know, so you can't really beat that.
01:19:00 So I'm just really happy
01:19:03 So until then I think
01:19:06 and my little apartment and just kind of
01:19:11 That doesn't sound like a happy life.
01:19:16 Well, no, it won't be that long,
01:19:20 And I'm just waiting for that mansion,
01:19:22 That's what I'm talking about.
01:19:25 Brilliant.
01:19:29 INTERVIEWER: You call him on the phone,
01:19:31 No, I just...He's speaking to me now.
01:19:34 -Is he saying something?
01:19:35 Well, would you please tell us
01:19:37 He's saying,
01:19:39 And I'm saying back,
01:19:41 There's got to be something better on TV
01:19:44 Oh, wait, Mom, don't change it.
01:19:46 Oh, please. I know all your friends,
01:19:50 What's that supposed to mean?
01:19:51 It means just because
01:19:54 doesn't make him good enough
01:19:59 What if I wanted him to be
01:20:02 Man in the sky forbid.
01:20:04 It would make no sense.
01:20:06 Mark Bellison is who the man in the sky
01:20:09 but that doesn't change the fact
01:20:11 and your kids would be, too.
01:20:12 -Well, he is more than just that.
01:20:15 Losers are losers. That's all they'll ever be.
01:20:18 He is...
01:20:21 He's smart, he's funny,
01:20:26 And he makes me feel special.
01:20:30 You are going to be
01:20:33 the person who'll give you
01:20:36 Someone like Brad Kessler.
01:20:39 Hello, Brad. One moment.
01:20:43 -S peak to him. Don't blow this.
01:20:51 Hello.
01:20:56 Hi, Brad.
01:21:07 MARK: I miss you, Mum.
01:21:11 I know you can't hear me.
01:21:13 I know you're not up there in a mansion.
01:21:18 You're right here in the ground.
01:21:22 And I'm the only person in the world
01:21:27 And I'm not happy.
01:21:29 I did all this, but...
01:21:32 I'm not happy because
01:21:36 no one listens to what they really want.
01:21:41 That's why I'll always be a loser.
01:21:46 That's why I'll always be alone.
01:22:15 (DOORBELL RINGS)
01:22:19 (MARK GROANS)
01:22:46 Mark.
01:22:49 You look awful.
01:22:54 Can I come in?
01:22:57 -Haven't seen you much lately.
01:23:00 I've been busy with work and things and...
01:23:04 Also, I tried calling you
01:23:11 -Did you know I was getting married?
01:23:15 That's why I came over here, actually.
01:23:27 Don't do it.
01:23:29 The wedding is tomorrow.
01:23:31 Please, don't marry him.
01:23:36 -I hope you'll come.
01:23:42 Because it would make me happy.
01:23:46 Being around you makes me happy.
01:23:48 Then why are you marrying him?
01:23:50 I only have a certain amount of time
01:23:54 have the children that I've always wanted.
01:23:57 You know that.
01:24:02 One day, Mark,
01:24:05 I'll be wrinkly and old, ugly.
01:24:09 No, you won't. Not to me.
01:24:17 You'll never be ugly.
01:24:21 You're confusing me.
01:24:31 -Please take this.
01:24:35 (SOBS)
01:25:08 BOY: Enjoying your ice cream,
01:25:11 (LAUGHING)
01:25:13 (BOYS LAUGHING)
01:25:14 Stop that!
01:25:19 It's okay. Forget about them.
01:25:24 What's your name?
01:25:26 Short Fat Brian.
01:25:29 Well, Brian.
01:25:36 You are so much more
01:25:44 See? You're Brian with the Great Smile.
01:25:48 Thanks.

01:26:00 GREG: Ow!
01:26:05 Greg!
01:26:06 GREG: Sorry!
01:26:08 Keep the noise down.
01:26:11 Fat, ginger...
01:26:13 (PLASTIC RUSTLING)
01:26:16 Shut up!
01:26:56 You haven't lost yet, man.
01:27:08 (CHURCH BELL TOLLING)
01:27:29 BRAD: Ah!
01:27:31 (ORGAN PLAYING)
01:28:08 Loser.
01:28:12 We are here today,
01:28:15 to share in the wedding
01:28:18 two attractive young people
01:28:20 who have come to the conclusion
01:28:25 that their genetic match-up will be
01:28:30 and a lifetime of financial stability
01:28:36 Brad, do you agree to stay with Anna
01:28:41 and to protect your offspring
01:28:44 I do.
01:28:46 And Anna, do you agree to stay with Brad
01:28:50 and to protect your offspring
01:29:00 I do.
01:29:02 Before I pronounce these two man and wife,
01:29:08 who believes they offer
01:29:18 Me.
01:29:19 (GUESTS MURMURING)
01:29:21 Oh, come on, Mark.
01:29:23 I mean, look at you.
01:29:27 Because she's happy with me.
01:29:29 If she were happy with you,
01:29:32 She thinks her kids deserve
01:29:36 And she's right.
01:29:37 Yeah. And do you know
01:29:40 You're a sperm donor.
01:29:41 (CHUCKLING)
01:29:43 (GUESTS MURMURING)
01:29:44 She's my best friend.
01:29:47 I thought I was your best friend.
01:29:49 Not now. Let's...
01:29:53 And I love her.
01:29:56 Don't do this.
01:29:58 Don't do it.
01:30:01 Is this what you really want?
01:30:03 It's the way of the world, Mark.
01:30:05 Why? Why does it have to be?
01:30:08 Who says your kids will be better than mine?
01:30:10 Who says that a strong jawline or
01:30:15 He's also taller.
01:30:16 No, I know, but I'm just...
01:30:19 Please, man, I...
01:30:23 Who says those traits will make your kids
01:30:26 I'll love our children.
01:30:27 And who says you'll make a better husband
01:30:29 just because you come from
01:30:32 or a better genetic line?
01:30:34 (SIGHS)
01:30:36 She's a prize on your arm.
01:30:41 Anna.
01:30:44 If you tell me this is what you really want,
01:30:50 Is this what you really want?
01:30:52 Well, now, it's not up to us
01:30:54 -That's up to the man in the sky.
01:30:59 Why don't you just ask the man in the sky
01:31:02 -Surely he knows best.
01:31:05 Just tell her
01:31:07 Why don't you tell me
01:31:11 Just please tell me.
01:31:14 (SCOFFS)
01:31:16 No.
01:31:25 (GUESTS MURMURING)
01:31:28 (SIGHS)
01:31:33 Are we married yet?
01:31:34 -Because I have plans later.
01:32:02 ANNA: Mark, wait!
01:32:06 Why don't you just tell me
01:32:11 -I did a bad thing.
01:32:13 -You're allowed three.
01:32:18 There is no man in the sky.
01:32:25 Why did you say there was?
01:32:30 I couldn't stand the look on my mum's face
01:32:34 And things just escalated.
01:32:39 But how did you say something that wasn't?
01:32:42 I don't know, I just did. I just can.
01:32:46 But when I asked you if being rich
01:32:48 and successful and famous
01:32:51 why didn't you just say yes?
01:32:55 'Cause it wouldn't count.
01:33:00 Mark.
01:33:04 I know what I want.
01:33:05 (SIGHS)
01:33:10 I want little fat kids with snub noses.
01:33:20 I'm your man.
01:33:35 MARK: So that's it. I got the girl.
01:33:38 Anna and I are very happy together,
01:33:41 She still doesn't fully understand
01:33:45 No one does.
01:33:49 Actually, that's not entirely true.
01:33:55 What do you think?
01:33:59 That looks good.
01:34:03 It tastes so good, Mommy.
01:34:06 -Your best yet.
01:34:09 Huh? Oh.
01:34:15 I don't know where to start.
01:34:18 Just start on the bread, maybe,
01:34:23 You eat that. You liked it so much.
01:34:29 You eat that. You liked it so much.
