of browsing a store
full of comics.

22
00:03:29,347 --> 00:03:30,831

more indie books this month.

Ah, that's 'cause we did.

Mm, you know, when Jack
Kirby first started out,

31
00:03:49,056 --> 00:03:50,885
he was the greatest
illustrator of his time.

32
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,095

there is the next Jack Kirby.

Well, maybe if you spent
more time playing sports

53
00:04:51,187 --> 00:04:53,741

you'd be stronger.

00:11:17,953 --> 00:11:19,437
for about five minutes.

179
00:11:19,471 --> 00:11:20,541
Another life, you know?

180
00:11:22,164 --> 00:11:23,821
- Hey.
- Hey.

181
00:11:23,821 --> 00:11:24,822
Got a few things.

182
00:11:24,856 --> 00:11:26,789
That's a
big stack, Brandon.

183
00:11:27,721 --> 00:11:29,654
Okay, but you have
to unpack your room

184
00:11:29,654 --> 00:11:30,862
before you read any of these.

185
00:11:30,897 --> 00:11:33,313
Deal?

186
00:11:33,347 --> 00:11:34,555
You guys just move here?

187
00:11:34,624 --> 00:11:36,212
Yeah, last week from Idaho.

188
00:11:36,247 --> 00:11:37,524
- Idaho.
- Yeah.

189
00:11:37,558 --> 00:11:39,181
Cool.

190
00:11:39,181 --> 00:11:41,735
Well, welcome to
the store. I'm Mike.

191
00:11:41,804 --> 00:11:43,254
This is Alex,

192
00:11:43,323 --> 00:11:46,533
and this, uh, finely
curated comic boutique

193
00:11:46,567 --> 00:11:47,672
that you are inhabiting

194
00:11:47,672 --> 00:11:48,984
is Mike's World.

195
00:11:53,057 --> 00:11:55,576
Thank you. I'm
Pamela, by the way.

196
00:11:55,645 --> 00:11:57,061
What do you say, young man?

197
00:11:57,095 --> 00:12:02,066
I say destroy the cosmos,
ask questions later.

198
00:12:02,411 --> 00:12:05,000
Enjoy. Thanks for coming in.

199
00:12:05,034 --> 00:12:06,484
- Thanks.
- See you guys soon.

200
00:12:07,865 --> 00:12:09,487
"Spawn."

201
00:12:09,521 --> 00:12:10,868
- Wow.
- Yeah.

202
00:12:10,868 --> 00:12:13,008
Kid knew his
stuff.

203
00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:14,181
So do you.

204
00:12:15,217 --> 00:12:16,218
Thank you.

205
00:12:20,947 --> 00:12:22,880
There's really nothing
you can do for me?

206
00:12:25,572 --> 00:12:26,987
All right.

207
00:12:28,609 --> 00:12:31,405
All right. Oh yeah, sure.

208
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,200
I'll, I'll see ya
at the convention.

209
00:12:34,270 --> 00:12:35,375
Thanks for nothing.

210
00:12:36,963 --> 00:12:38,309
Business?

211
00:12:38,378 --> 00:12:40,414
Just trying to keep the
lights on, as they say.

212
00:12:40,449 --> 00:12:42,244
I hear ya.

213
00:12:42,244 --> 00:12:45,730
You know, common sense
is like deodorant, Mike.

214
00:12:46,731 --> 00:12:51,046
People who need it the most
don't ever seem to use it.

215
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,426
- Huh.
- Like my ex-wife.

216
00:13:05,439 --> 00:13:08,097
Alex.

217
00:13:08,132 --> 00:13:10,997
I think we should go check
out that other comic shop,

218
00:13:11,066 --> 00:13:12,446
see how the other half lives.

219
00:13:12,481 --> 00:13:13,758
What do you say?

220
00:13:13,758 --> 00:13:16,761
Hell yes. Let's
go case the joint.

221
00:13:17,624 --> 00:13:18,936
Mm!

222
00:13:30,154 --> 00:13:32,915
This is definitely
your kinda place, Alex,

223
00:13:32,950 --> 00:13:34,365
nothing but Marvel and DC here.

224
00:13:34,434 --> 00:13:36,332
Oh my God, they
have Star Wars stuff here, too?

225
00:13:36,367 --> 00:13:39,301
"Oh my God, they have Star
Wars stuff here, too?" Really?

226
00:13:39,335 --> 00:13:42,442
So, I see you're a
Star Wars fan.

227
00:13:42,476 --> 00:13:44,616
How does Darth Vader
like his toast?

228
00:13:44,651 --> 00:13:46,791
On the dark side, of course.

229
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:48,551
Who doesn't like Star Wars?

230
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:50,519
I'm Chad. My dad
owns the company.

231
00:13:50,553 --> 00:13:51,554
- Ah.
- We have a few stores

232
00:13:51,623 --> 00:13:54,868
back East, and now
we're expanding West.

233
00:13:54,937 --> 00:13:57,353
You know, we're hiring too,

234
00:13:57,388 --> 00:13:59,804
if you know anybody
who's interested.

235
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:02,842
We're kinda like the Willy Wonka
of comic shops around here,

236
00:14:02,876 --> 00:14:04,429
the only store in town.

237
00:14:05,465 --> 00:14:07,639
Is that right? What
about Mike's World?

238
00:14:07,674 --> 00:14:10,642
Mike's World.
Yeah, I've seen it.

239
00:14:10,642 --> 00:14:12,782
Uh, not much to see though,

240
00:14:14,474 --> 00:14:15,647
unless you're Mike.

241
00:14:17,822 --> 00:14:19,928
Look, all I'm saying is I
hear the owner's a deadbeat.

242
00:14:19,997 --> 00:14:23,207
Hangs out at the bar across
the street all the time.

243
00:14:23,276 --> 00:14:24,829
Is that right?

244
00:14:24,829 --> 00:14:26,727
Where'd you hear that?

245
00:14:26,796 --> 00:14:28,522
- Around--
- Hi, hi, excuse me.

246
00:14:28,522 --> 00:14:31,146
Do you have any of those
new "Techno Man" comics?

247
00:14:31,180 --> 00:14:33,665
"'Techno Man'"? What
the hell is "Techno Man"?

248
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:35,184
No, we have something
much better than that.

249
00:14:35,219 --> 00:14:37,393
Excuse me for a sec.
You're gonna love this.

250
00:14:38,394 --> 00:14:42,743
Yeah, cool. Thanks
for your help, Chad.

251
00:14:42,812 --> 00:14:44,642
Yep.

252
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:50,199
Oh wow, they even have fancy
tablets at the counter.

253
00:14:50,234 --> 00:14:51,338
This is like the Apple Store.

254
00:14:51,373 --> 00:14:52,374
Okay, I've seen enough.

255
00:14:52,408 --> 00:14:53,720
Let's get outta here
before I throw up.

256
00:15:15,224 --> 00:15:16,191
Time for dinner.

257
00:15:17,571 --> 00:15:19,884
Close that up. Come
on, time to eat.

258
00:15:27,892 --> 00:15:29,031
How was your day, Son?

259
00:15:30,446 --> 00:15:31,965
It was good.

260
00:15:32,034 --> 00:15:34,347
Mom and I found a really
cool comic book store.

261
00:15:35,141 --> 00:15:36,176
It's really close, too.

262
00:15:36,211 --> 00:15:37,177
Hmm.

263
00:15:38,420 --> 00:15:39,731
You know what's closer?

264
00:15:41,975 --> 00:15:43,321
The backyard.

265
00:15:43,390 --> 00:15:45,047
It's like 110 degrees out.

266
00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:50,087
Kurt, do we really have
to start this right now?

267
00:15:50,087 --> 00:15:51,640
He needs
to make friends.

268
00:15:51,674 --> 00:15:53,814
He needs to play ball,
like other kids his age.

269
00:15:53,883 --> 00:15:56,748
He will, uh, when
school starts.

270
00:15:56,783 --> 00:15:58,785
What's he supposed to do,
go knocking on doors

271
00:15:58,785 --> 00:16:00,338
- around the neighborhood?
- Hello, I'm right here.

272
00:16:00,407 --> 00:16:01,615
I just don't understand

273
00:16:01,650 --> 00:16:03,963
why you keep encouraging
this comic book thing.

274
00:16:04,894 --> 00:16:07,621
I told you I
wanna be an artist.

275
00:16:07,621 --> 00:16:11,453
Look, I am not gonna spend
all that money for college

276
00:16:12,626 --> 00:16:15,698
until you pick a real
major, all right?

277
00:16:15,767 --> 00:16:20,600
Otherwise, you can go into
the military like I did

278
00:16:20,634 --> 00:16:22,843
and do some real growing up.

279
00:16:22,878 --> 00:16:24,984
I don't wanna do either
of those things, so.

280
00:16:25,018 --> 00:16:28,021
Oh yeah?

281
00:16:28,090 --> 00:16:29,126
Well, guess what.

282
00:16:29,954 --> 00:16:33,337
Those are your only two
options, like it or not.

283
00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:38,135
Where are you going?

284
00:16:41,310 --> 00:16:44,486

Gotta at least try
and compete, right?

Move inventory?

Room for the new indie titles?

00:17:30,221 --> 00:17:32,982
Wild Imagination
might be bigger.

292
00:17:33,017 --> 00:17:34,018
We gotta be better.

00:17:57,179 --> 00:17:59,526
I, I really like
his superpower.

303
00:17:59,561 --> 00:18:01,045
And great drawings too.

304
00:18:05,705 --> 00:18:07,258
I actually, uh...

305
00:18:07,293 --> 00:18:10,779
I drew this to thank you.

306
00:18:12,125 --> 00:18:13,506
Good. Glad you liked it.

307
00:18:14,196 --> 00:18:15,404
Oh, did you know

308
00:18:15,439 --> 00:18:18,890
that the lead penciller used
to work on Captain America?

309
00:18:18,890 --> 00:18:20,892
Uh, no, I didn't.

310
00:18:20,892 --> 00:18:21,928
FYI.

311
00:18:21,962 --> 00:18:22,963
I hear they're making a bunch

312
00:18:22,998 --> 00:18:24,862
of action figures
and collectibles too.

313
00:18:25,759 --> 00:18:29,591
Yeah, we don't carry a
lotta figures, mainly comics.

314
00:18:40,257 --> 00:18:41,741
Wow, kid.

315
00:18:41,775 --> 00:18:43,674
Where'd you learn how
to draw like this?

316
00:18:43,743 --> 00:18:46,090
I've just been
drawing my whole life.

317
00:18:47,091 --> 00:18:48,610
Yeah, took a couple classes.

318
00:18:48,644 --> 00:18:50,094
Hey, careful with those.

319
00:18:50,991 --> 00:18:52,476
This ain't the public library.

320
00:18:55,755 --> 00:18:57,412
Uh, speaking of libraries,

321
00:18:58,930 --> 00:19:00,932
what's the tallest
building in the world?

322
00:19:03,003 --> 00:19:04,419
Okay, I'll bite.

323
00:19:04,453 --> 00:19:07,111
Uh, that
building in Dubai.

324
00:19:07,111 --> 00:19:08,112
Libraries.

325
00:19:10,287 --> 00:19:12,289
'Cause they have
so many stories.

326
00:19:14,670 --> 00:19:16,293
- Good one, kid.
- That was pretty good.

327
00:19:16,327 --> 00:19:18,018
Yeah. You told him
to say that, right?

328
00:19:18,053 --> 00:19:19,641
- No.
- Put him up to it?

329
00:19:21,988 --> 00:19:23,334
Hey, Brandon, you
ready to go home?

330
00:19:23,369 --> 00:19:26,268
He'd stay here and read
comics all night if you let him.

331
00:19:26,303 --> 00:19:28,097
Isn't that the truth?

332
00:19:35,035 --> 00:19:36,934
- Wow.
- I really appreciate you guys

333
00:19:36,968 --> 00:19:38,660
letting me stick around today.

334
00:19:38,694 --> 00:19:40,179
Of course, no problem.

335
00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:42,422
Uh, thank you, guys.

336
00:19:44,666 --> 00:19:45,667
Any time kid.

337
00:19:46,978 --> 00:19:48,842
Okay, uh, how 'bout tomorrow?

338
00:19:49,878 --> 00:19:53,813
Um, okay, I'm probably
gonna have to put you to work

339
00:19:53,847 --> 00:19:55,987
because I can't have ya
loitering around the shop,

340
00:19:55,987 --> 00:19:56,988
reading all the comics for free.

341
00:19:57,023 --> 00:19:58,024
Deal.

342
00:19:58,714 --> 00:20:00,199
Bye.

343
00:20:00,233 --> 00:20:01,476
Bye.

344
00:20:10,692 --> 00:20:13,729
It's not the
drawing that's your superpower.

345
00:20:13,798 --> 00:20:15,144
It's your imagination.

346
00:20:42,724 --> 00:20:44,553
Open? Okay.

347
00:20:45,382 --> 00:20:48,074
Whoa, Mike, you're actually
here before me today?

348
00:20:49,524 --> 00:20:51,526
What's the occasion?
Looks great in here.

349
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:56,116
Um, we need to talk.

350
00:20:56,185 --> 00:20:58,049
Uh, oh, okay, what's up?

351
00:20:58,084 --> 00:21:00,224
Look, you've
been really great,

352
00:21:00,224 --> 00:21:02,019
um, like, so helpful,

353
00:21:02,053 --> 00:21:03,262
over the last couple of years,

354
00:21:03,296 --> 00:21:05,056
and I, um...

355
00:21:06,575 --> 00:21:08,681
I don't really know
how to say this.

356
00:21:10,579 --> 00:21:12,236
Mike, are you proposing to me?

357
00:21:14,756 --> 00:21:17,276
Uh, actually, I was, uh,
I was working the numbers,

358
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:20,209
you know, kinda going
over and over it,

359
00:21:20,244 --> 00:21:21,590
trying to figure out
how to make it work.

360
00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:25,422
And I just, I just
can't compete, you know?

361
00:21:25,422 --> 00:21:29,080
I, I, I need to refocus the
store. I need to survive.

362
00:21:29,115 --> 00:21:30,254
Huh.

363
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:31,428
I gotta let you go.

364
00:21:35,017 --> 00:21:36,087
I guess your lunch
breaks will have to be

365
00:21:36,087 --> 00:21:37,261
a bit shorter now, huh?

366
00:21:44,475 --> 00:21:45,683
No, uh, I can't stand

367
00:21:45,718 --> 00:21:48,410
to watch you drink yourself
to oblivion anymore anyway.

368
00:21:51,448 --> 00:21:55,244
Thought we were building
something here, something real.

369
00:21:59,939 --> 00:22:01,768

372
00:22:25,689 --> 00:22:27,691

Um, what time is it anyway?

416
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:50,696
Okay, kid, why don't
you come by in an hour?

417
00:24:50,765 --> 00:24:51,800
Okay, cool.

418
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,630
- Yeah.
- See you then.

419
00:24:56,115 --> 00:24:57,116
Crap.

420
00:25:01,810 --> 00:25:03,156
Thanks for coming in, Sean.

00:25:03,191 --> 00:25:05,365
You might wanna
get that fixed.

422
00:25:05,434 --> 00:25:06,574
Yeah.

423
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:08,610
Thanks for the advice.

424
00:25:08,645 --> 00:25:10,785
Can't be good for your
brain cells, you know, so...

425
00:25:10,819 --> 00:25:12,752
Yep. Brandon, right?

426
00:25:14,823 --> 00:25:16,204
Uh, okay.

427
00:25:19,138 --> 00:25:20,242
Hey.

428
00:25:20,311 --> 00:25:22,659
Oh, Brandon, you know,
I decided to cut down

429
00:25:22,659 --> 00:25:24,350
on the mainstream back issues,

430
00:25:24,384 --> 00:25:26,490
make room for more indie books.

431
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:28,872
Gotta refocus the store.

432
00:25:28,906 --> 00:25:29,976
That's cool.

433
00:25:30,011 --> 00:25:30,943
- Yeah.
- And maybe we could put that

434
00:25:30,977 --> 00:25:32,013
in the site.

435
00:25:32,013 --> 00:25:35,499
Maybe, yeah, you know,
like a, like a tagline,

436
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:39,399
"Largest indie comic
selection in Las Vegas."

437
00:25:39,434 --> 00:25:41,505
Yeah, that's it.
That's perfect. Um...

438
00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:43,196
Cool.

439
00:25:43,196 --> 00:25:44,197
When are you
really gonna teach me

440
00:25:44,232 --> 00:25:46,337
how to, how to illustrate?

441
00:25:46,372 --> 00:25:47,373
Hmm.

442
00:25:48,857 --> 00:25:50,652
When you master the basics.

443
00:25:51,895 --> 00:25:53,172
You can keep this.

444
00:25:53,206 --> 00:25:55,139
Lemme know when you're
done looking it over,

445
00:25:55,174 --> 00:25:56,140
and we can start.

446
00:25:58,936 --> 00:26:00,351
All right.

447
00:26:28,069 --> 00:26:30,243
Why are we sitting in
a parking lot to draw?

448
00:26:31,210 --> 00:26:32,245
Well, I asked you to name

449
00:26:32,349 --> 00:26:33,626
the most boring place you
could imagine, didn't I?

450
00:26:33,695 --> 00:26:35,455
And you took me there?

451
00:26:35,524 --> 00:26:37,043
I wanted to show you

452
00:26:37,078 --> 00:26:39,736
that inspiration can
come from anywhere.

453
00:26:39,770 --> 00:26:40,771
Yeah, that book I gave you

454
00:26:40,806 --> 00:26:42,980
just showed basic
drawing principles.

455
00:26:43,049 --> 00:26:44,050
What it didn't show you

456
00:26:44,085 --> 00:26:46,605
was how to use your imagination.

457
00:26:50,919 --> 00:26:53,646
Where do you get
all your ideas from?

458
00:26:53,715 --> 00:26:55,303
You just look at the world,

459
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:57,892
see it in a different way,

460
00:26:58,962 --> 00:27:00,411
add a twist.

461
00:27:02,482 --> 00:27:05,624
Here, take that spotted...

462
00:27:05,658 --> 00:27:06,832
Is that a horse, or?

463
00:27:06,901 --> 00:27:08,799
No, no, just take
that dog, okay?

464
00:27:08,834 --> 00:27:13,321
To you that's, just a really,
really big dog, right?

465
00:27:13,390 --> 00:27:16,082
But say it's collar...

466
00:27:16,117 --> 00:27:18,188
is a shield generator,

467
00:27:18,257 --> 00:27:21,260
and the dog is an alien beast

468
00:27:22,330 --> 00:27:25,436
with venomous teeth,

469
00:27:26,472 --> 00:27:27,922
and its leash

470
00:27:27,956 --> 00:27:31,166
is a whip

471
00:27:31,201 --> 00:27:32,651
that it uses in combat.

472
00:27:38,104 --> 00:27:39,278
Wow!

473
00:27:41,314 --> 00:27:42,661
That's dope.

474
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:44,663
Thanks.

475
00:27:45,836 --> 00:27:49,115
You know, if you just rely
on whatever comes to mind,

476
00:27:49,150 --> 00:27:50,427
you'll run out of ideas.

477
00:27:51,462 --> 00:27:53,672
You know, but if
you sit and observe,

478
00:27:54,776 --> 00:27:56,295
you'll always find inspiration.

479
00:27:58,953 --> 00:27:59,954
Right.

480
00:28:03,820 --> 00:28:07,478
That walker, um,

481
00:28:07,513 --> 00:28:10,481
hmm, I'm thinking it's, like,

482
00:28:10,516 --> 00:28:13,139
it's, like, a quad cannon,

483
00:28:13,174 --> 00:28:15,003
which she wields.

484
00:28:15,003 --> 00:28:15,970
There you go.

485
00:28:19,870 --> 00:28:22,942
She's got these,
like, evil ears.

486
00:28:25,082 --> 00:28:27,360
See, she can, like, hear

487
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:31,157
up to, like, a mile away, and

488
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:37,543
like, near-invincible shell

489
00:28:37,577 --> 00:28:40,028
for a back.

490
00:28:40,511 --> 00:28:42,030
You see?

491
00:28:42,065 --> 00:28:43,652
You're getting it.

492
00:28:44,308 --> 00:28:45,309
Okay.

493
00:28:46,172 --> 00:28:47,518
Wow, she's ugly.

494
00:28:47,518 --> 00:28:49,244
Yeah, it's, it's kinda mean.

495
00:28:51,557 --> 00:28:53,179
He's actually a
really good guy.

496
00:28:54,042 --> 00:28:56,217
He'll probably drink himself
outta business soon, but.

497
00:28:56,251 --> 00:28:58,875
Okay, and what I want is
to help speed that along.

498
00:28:58,875 --> 00:29:00,669
The sooner I can
absorb his customers

499
00:29:00,704 --> 00:29:02,016
the sooner I can grow profits

500
00:29:02,050 --> 00:29:04,294
and show Dad how well
the store is doing,

501
00:29:04,363 --> 00:29:05,985
and you're going to help me.

502
00:29:07,297 --> 00:29:09,955
Help you how? What
does that mean exactly?

503
00:29:09,989 --> 00:29:13,752
Look, Alex, you're not just
the hottest girl in the store,

504
00:29:13,786 --> 00:29:15,892
but you also know
the competition

505
00:29:15,892 --> 00:29:17,548
and the local market.

506
00:29:17,548 --> 00:29:18,791
Whether you like it or not,

507
00:29:18,826 --> 00:29:22,243
your job depends on knowing
Mike's strengths and weaknesses.

508
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:26,765
So that's why you offered
me the money. Got it.

509
00:29:29,112 --> 00:29:30,285
All right, well, first,

510
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,426
we should add an indie section
to the back of the store,

511
00:29:33,426 --> 00:29:34,980
you know, and get a solid
selection of the bigger indies,

512
00:29:35,049 --> 00:29:36,153
like "Techno Man."

513
00:29:36,222 --> 00:29:37,603
What, are you hanging
around Mike too long or what?

514
00:29:37,637 --> 00:29:39,743
I told you I don't give a
shit about "Techno Man."

515
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:41,158
You know, Chad,
sometimes, talking to you

516
00:29:41,227 --> 00:29:43,057
is like trying to
use a broken pencil.

517
00:29:44,299 --> 00:29:47,544
Look, we both know Marvel
and DC sell the most, right?

518
00:29:48,441 --> 00:29:50,409
But if we were a
one-stop shop, then-

519
00:29:50,443 --> 00:29:52,135
Then he'd have no
customer base at all.

520
00:29:52,169 --> 00:29:54,309
- Mm.
- Right, gotcha.

521
00:29:54,378 --> 00:29:56,104
You know, Alex,

522
00:29:56,104 --> 00:29:59,556
think I'm going to like
you in more ways than one.

523
00:30:05,493 --> 00:30:06,597
How you doing?

524
00:30:17,470 --> 00:30:20,025
Yeah,
Mike's World comics.

525
00:30:20,094 --> 00:30:21,509
Mike DiAngelo? Is this you?

526
00:30:23,097 --> 00:30:24,995
Dude, it's me, Dan.

527
00:30:25,030 --> 00:30:26,755
Dan-from-college Dan?

528
00:30:26,790 --> 00:30:27,860
The one and only, baby.

529
00:30:27,929 --> 00:30:29,034
You still at Image?

530
00:30:29,068 --> 00:30:31,381
Yeah, I'm actually in
town for a short convention

531
00:30:31,450 --> 00:30:32,934
and thought maybe
we can catch up,

532
00:30:32,969 --> 00:30:34,763
you know, talk about old times.

533
00:30:34,798 --> 00:30:36,558
That, that sounds great.

534
00:30:36,627 --> 00:30:39,458
The road to success is kind of
under construction right now.

535
00:30:39,492 --> 00:30:41,391
You still eat, don't you?

536
00:30:41,460 --> 00:30:43,013
So listen, why
don't we meet tomorrow

537
00:30:43,048 --> 00:30:45,774
at the Mobster Bisque
at like 8:00 p.m.?

538
00:30:45,809 --> 00:30:47,500
I promise you,
you won't regret it.

539
00:30:47,535 --> 00:30:50,987
All right, what the hell,
I could use a good laugh.

540
00:30:51,021 --> 00:30:52,643
Are you still
illustrating, or?

541
00:30:52,643 --> 00:30:53,990
I...

542
00:30:54,783 --> 00:30:56,682
- Sketching a bit.
- Mm.

543
00:30:56,716 --> 00:31:00,065
Mostly just torturing
myself when business is slow,

544
00:31:00,134 --> 00:31:01,963
which is more often than not.

545
00:31:01,998 --> 00:31:03,654
But dude, I remember
your sketches,

546
00:31:03,689 --> 00:31:05,553
and with all that
talent, I just...

547
00:31:05,587 --> 00:31:08,073
I don't understand why you
didn't take it further.

548
00:31:08,142 --> 00:31:10,420
Well, mainly
because I like to eat,

549
00:31:10,489 --> 00:31:12,387
you know, food, shelter.

550
00:31:12,422 --> 00:31:14,217
- Necessary stuff.
- Kinda my thing.

551
00:31:14,251 --> 00:31:15,701
Yeah, got it.

552
00:31:15,735 --> 00:31:18,014
Honestly, though,
anyone who was interested

553
00:31:18,048 --> 00:31:19,498
wanted me to work on spec.

554
00:31:19,498 --> 00:31:20,982
I get it. I get it.

555
00:31:22,190 --> 00:31:24,572
So, the reason why
I invited you here

556
00:31:24,606 --> 00:31:27,747
was to let you know that
Jimmy Farlane and a few others

557
00:31:27,782 --> 00:31:30,405
are starting their
own publishing company

558
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,338
and I am helping them with
their business affairs

559
00:31:32,373 --> 00:31:33,857
on the side.

560
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:38,034
Wow, like, um, like they did
with Image back in the day?

561
00:31:38,034 --> 00:31:39,414
Exactly but bigger.

562
00:31:39,483 --> 00:31:40,553
Huh.

563
00:31:40,553 --> 00:31:42,866
They're calling
it Top Guys Comics.

564
00:31:44,419 --> 00:31:46,283
Sounds pretty
interesting to me,

565
00:31:46,352 --> 00:31:51,357
but um, pretty short on
space and cash.

566
00:31:51,979 --> 00:31:54,533
Brother, Brother, Brother,
let me stop you right there.

567
00:31:54,567 --> 00:31:56,569
Now, I am giving
you valuable intel

568
00:31:56,604 --> 00:32:00,228
that'll pop that lock
and skyrocket your sales.

569
00:32:00,228 --> 00:32:01,712
Come on, Mike.

570
00:32:01,747 --> 00:32:03,059
Have I ever led you astray?

571
00:32:04,439 --> 00:32:07,270
Well, a-a-actually,
Danno, yeah. Yeah, you have.

572
00:32:07,339 --> 00:32:08,271
No!

573
00:32:08,305 --> 00:32:09,720
Remember old
"Eddie Forty Hands"?

574
00:32:09,755 --> 00:32:11,446
Remember that one?

575
00:32:11,481 --> 00:32:15,071
That didn't turn out so
well, did it?

576
00:32:15,071 --> 00:32:17,452
Listen, this is gonna
be huge for all of us.

577
00:32:17,487 --> 00:32:21,146
Well, uh, I'll think about it.

578
00:32:21,180 --> 00:32:25,736
Hey, Dan, what's the opposite
of artificial intelligence?

579
00:32:25,771 --> 00:32:27,221
What?

580
00:32:27,255 --> 00:32:29,982
Making a lotta naturally
stupid decisions,

581
00:32:30,051 --> 00:32:32,157
something I tend to do.

582
00:32:32,226 --> 00:32:34,055
Can't really afford
to make another one.

583
00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:41,304
Mr. DiAngelo,
how is business today?

584
00:32:41,338 --> 00:32:43,754
Already sent out the rent
this month, Mr. Hamford.

585
00:32:43,754 --> 00:32:44,963
Check's in the mail.

586
00:32:44,997 --> 00:32:48,138
I'm just making sure you
received that notice I sent you.

587
00:32:48,173 --> 00:32:49,139
What notice?

588
00:32:49,174 --> 00:32:51,279
Your lease is up next month,

589
00:32:51,314 --> 00:32:54,110
and next year's lease is
increasing by 700 bucks a month.

590
00:32:54,110 --> 00:32:55,490
$700 a month?

591
00:32:55,525 --> 00:32:57,734
I mean, that's, that's
fucking ridiculous.

592
00:32:57,768 --> 00:32:59,701
New owner. They demanded it.

593
00:32:59,770 --> 00:33:01,117
Besides, your rent
hasn't increased

594
00:33:01,151 --> 00:33:03,015
in some seven odd years.

595
00:33:03,084 --> 00:33:05,466
Yeah, but I mean
that's, that's, like...

596
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:07,295
Inflation. Whoo!

597
00:33:07,295 --> 00:33:09,849
Stores like yours are
becoming obsolete.

598
00:33:09,918 --> 00:33:11,541
Remember Blockbuster?

599
00:33:11,610 --> 00:33:13,439
Course you do,
all those late fees.

600
00:33:13,474 --> 00:33:14,440
Anyway, they're talking
about turning this

601
00:33:14,475 --> 00:33:17,098
into a parking lot
for electric cars,

602
00:33:17,133 --> 00:33:19,618
setting up charging
stations, what have you.

603
00:33:19,652 --> 00:33:21,516
Can't you just get 'em
to hold off a bit longer?

604
00:33:21,585 --> 00:33:22,793
How long?

605
00:33:22,828 --> 00:33:26,142
- Say, like, six years?
- Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha!

606
00:33:26,176 --> 00:33:29,628
Ah, nah.

607
00:33:29,628 --> 00:33:31,319
I'm just a messenger, Mike.

608
00:33:31,319 --> 00:33:34,702
My advice to you, cut
expenses, reinvent yourself.

609
00:33:34,736 --> 00:33:37,153
Everything is fully
downloadable now.

610
00:33:37,187 --> 00:33:39,672
Everything you need
is a keystroke away.

611
00:33:39,672 --> 00:33:41,674
Yeah, that's what
they keep telling me.

612
00:33:41,674 --> 00:33:44,022
That's pretty much
my only advice I can...

613
00:33:47,059 --> 00:33:50,338
Wow, look at these
drawings on your wall.

614
00:33:50,373 --> 00:33:53,100
Wow, these are amazing.
Who drew these?

615
00:33:54,342 --> 00:33:56,517
Ha ha ha, right, sure.

616
00:33:56,517 --> 00:34:01,349
Let the artist know
that I'm a fan. Wow.

617
00:34:01,349 --> 00:34:04,870
Huh, anyway, gotta run,
Mike. See ya later.

618
00:34:06,009 --> 00:34:07,769
Yeah, thanks for
stopping by, Mr. Hamford.

619
00:34:07,838 --> 00:34:10,220
Any time, any time.

620
00:34:53,401 --> 00:34:56,956
Trust your
heart. You'll know what to do.

621
00:35:19,738 --> 00:35:21,947
So, um, how much stuff

622
00:35:21,981 --> 00:35:23,707
is this new company
releasing, anyway?

623
00:35:23,742 --> 00:35:25,261
It's a fair amount.

624
00:35:25,295 --> 00:35:26,814
Not many actual comics.

625
00:35:27,677 --> 00:35:30,611
You know, it's the volume that
makes it a risky investment.

626
00:35:30,645 --> 00:35:32,268
So then why not start small?

627
00:35:32,302 --> 00:35:33,683
Publisher incentives.

628
00:35:33,752 --> 00:35:36,306
You gotta buy in bulk in order
to get the variant covers.

629
00:35:36,341 --> 00:35:37,583
It's their way of driving sales,

630
00:35:37,618 --> 00:35:39,896
but I can't compete
without those rare covers.

631
00:35:41,932 --> 00:35:43,589
Right?

632
00:35:44,659 --> 00:35:46,040
When you need
to order them by?

633
00:35:46,109 --> 00:35:49,423
Well, before Comic
Con, so in a few weeks.

634
00:35:49,457 --> 00:35:52,150
I've always wanted
to go to Comic Con.

635
00:35:52,184 --> 00:35:54,600
Parents say it's too expensive.

636
00:35:54,635 --> 00:35:57,638
Back in my day, I'd go
to the shop with a dollar,

637
00:35:57,638 --> 00:36:00,227
come back with a bag of
chips and a comic book.

638
00:36:01,538 --> 00:36:02,988
Now they've all got cameras.

639
00:36:04,990 --> 00:36:06,543
Very funny, Mike.

640
00:36:06,612 --> 00:36:08,856
Is this what you've
been teaching my kid?

641
00:36:08,890 --> 00:36:11,790
That and many
other valuable skills.

642
00:36:11,824 --> 00:36:14,275
Are you
ready to hit the road?

643
00:36:14,310 --> 00:36:15,276
Yeah.

644
00:36:15,311 --> 00:36:17,347
You know the kid's
fun to have around.

645
00:36:17,382 --> 00:36:19,798
He's really making an
impact around here.

646
00:36:19,832 --> 00:36:20,971
Well, I've been thinking.

647
00:36:21,006 --> 00:36:23,111
We would love to have you
over for dinner this week.

648
00:36:23,146 --> 00:36:24,837
Meet Brandon's dad.

649
00:36:24,872 --> 00:36:27,840
Well, that is awfully
sweet of you, Pamela, but--

650
00:36:27,875 --> 00:36:29,359
He's heard so much about you.

651
00:36:29,394 --> 00:36:31,534
He'd be so excited to meet you.

652
00:36:31,568 --> 00:36:33,570
- I wouldn't wanna be a burden.
- Oh God.

653
00:36:33,639 --> 00:36:37,229
No, no burden. I insist,
and please, bring Alex.

654
00:36:37,298 --> 00:36:39,818
You guys have been such
good friends to Brandon,

655
00:36:39,852 --> 00:36:42,890
and I'm guessing you could
use a good home-cooked meal.

656
00:36:42,924 --> 00:36:44,340
Well, who could say no
to a home-cooked meal?

657
00:36:44,340 --> 00:36:46,549
Right?

658
00:36:46,583 --> 00:36:47,964
I'll let Alex know.

659
00:36:47,998 --> 00:36:49,172
Wonderful.

660
00:36:49,172 --> 00:36:50,346
How much
you wanting to borrow?

661
00:36:50,380 --> 00:36:53,590
I was looking for 20,000
to make a large order.

662
00:36:53,659 --> 00:36:56,662
It's a new line of
comics, collectibles.

663
00:36:57,870 --> 00:37:00,148
Any existing debts, liens?

664
00:37:01,011 --> 00:37:02,530
Bankruptcy filings?

665
00:37:02,530 --> 00:37:04,152
No, nothing like that.

666
00:37:13,714 --> 00:37:16,855
Mike, I mean, your net
income the last few years

667
00:37:16,889 --> 00:37:18,822
has been pretty dismal, huh?

668
00:37:20,548 --> 00:37:21,756
Yeah, I mean, maybe you heard.

669
00:37:21,791 --> 00:37:23,586
There was a, there
was a pandemic.

670
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:25,208
And your
collateral, as well.

671
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:27,383
My back issues are
worth quite a lot. I--

672
00:37:27,383 --> 00:37:31,801
The most I could offer
you is 10,000 at 22%

673
00:37:31,870 --> 00:37:34,528
with an ACH debit every week.

674
00:37:34,562 --> 00:37:36,564
The loan matures
in three months.

675
00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:39,360
Honestly, that's
the best I can do.

676
00:37:40,396 --> 00:37:41,707
Ya ever heard the term usury?

677
00:37:41,707 --> 00:37:42,708
Hmm.

678
00:37:44,814 --> 00:37:47,057
Take some time to
think it over, huh?

679
00:38:19,918 --> 00:38:21,402
Alex, what's going on?

680
00:38:21,437 --> 00:38:22,783
I was just thinking about you.

681
00:38:22,817 --> 00:38:25,164
Mm-hmm, yep, sure you were.

682
00:38:26,338 --> 00:38:28,996
So, heard you
went to work for the enemy.

683
00:38:29,065 --> 00:38:30,860
How's it going with Chad?

684
00:38:30,929 --> 00:38:33,172
I don't know what it is,
but he really creeps me out.

685
00:38:33,241 --> 00:38:34,346
That's because he's a douche.

686
00:38:34,415 --> 00:38:35,865
You know, he thinks
he can buy the world

687
00:38:35,934 --> 00:38:37,453
with his daddy's
money, and he's wrong.

688
00:38:37,453 --> 00:38:38,661
Yep, I suppose.

689
00:38:39,662 --> 00:38:42,009
So how's the store? How are you?

690
00:38:42,043 --> 00:38:44,977
Ugh, well, other
than the unexpected rent hike,

691
00:38:45,012 --> 00:38:48,291
you know, Sean coming in every
week dressed like Captain Q,

692
00:38:48,291 --> 00:38:50,811
and the daycare center
I'm running on the side,

693
00:38:50,845 --> 00:38:52,019
life's been a real dream.

694
00:38:53,296 --> 00:38:55,298
So, when you coming back?

695
00:38:55,298 --> 00:38:57,887
I don't know. Do
you want me back?

696
00:38:57,956 --> 00:38:59,820
Actually, that's
why I was calling.

697
00:38:59,820 --> 00:39:03,824
Uh, Pamela and Brandon invited
the two of us to dinner,

698
00:39:03,858 --> 00:39:05,653
you know, to meet Brandon's dad,

699
00:39:05,653 --> 00:39:08,967
and I kind of accepted
on our behalf.

700
00:39:09,001 --> 00:39:11,625
For them, I'll
go but not for you.

701
00:39:11,659 --> 00:39:13,489
Okay, great.

702
00:39:13,523 --> 00:39:16,319
I'll, uh, pick ya
up tomorrow at 7:30.

703
00:39:16,319 --> 00:39:17,872
Great, whatever.

704
00:39:21,669 --> 00:39:23,982
So, what brought you two

705
00:39:24,016 --> 00:39:25,811
into the fun world
of comic book sales?

706
00:39:25,846 --> 00:39:28,538
Ooh, issues,

707
00:39:28,573 --> 00:39:29,677
so many issues.

708
00:39:30,747 --> 00:39:33,578
No, um, I grew up in
a house full of boys.

709
00:39:33,647 --> 00:39:34,786
I was the only girl,

710
00:39:34,855 --> 00:39:38,168
so superheroes and Star Wars
is pretty much all I know.

711
00:39:38,203 --> 00:39:39,411
Mike?

712
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,551
Well, uh, ironically,

713
00:39:41,586 --> 00:39:44,899
opening the shop was
me being practical.

714
00:39:44,934 --> 00:39:47,005
You know, it's the
path I decided to take

715
00:39:47,039 --> 00:39:48,972
when my father died and...

716
00:39:50,215 --> 00:39:53,011
Illustrating career
didn't quite take off

717
00:39:53,045 --> 00:39:54,357
the way I'd planned.

718
00:39:54,392 --> 00:39:55,703
Really?

719
00:39:55,738 --> 00:39:57,533
Brandon, he, um, heh,

720
00:39:58,085 --> 00:40:00,881
he keeps insisting he
wants to be an artist.

721
00:40:00,915 --> 00:40:03,228
Well, illustrating is
a great career, Brandon,

722
00:40:03,262 --> 00:40:04,540
if you can make it work.

723
00:40:04,540 --> 00:40:07,128
Seems like a bit
of a pipe dream to me.

724
00:40:07,197 --> 00:40:08,751
Kurt's the
practical one.

725
00:40:09,545 --> 00:40:11,339
Brandon got his
daydreaming from me.

726
00:40:12,858 --> 00:40:14,791
Dreams don't pay the bills.

727
00:40:14,860 --> 00:40:16,172
I, I think each person needs

728
00:40:16,206 --> 00:40:18,623
to follow their own unique path,

729
00:40:18,692 --> 00:40:21,798
otherwise, you'll just
be wondering, "What if."

730
00:40:21,867 --> 00:40:24,042
And of course, there are
easier ways to make money

731
00:40:24,076 --> 00:40:25,181
than selling comics,

732
00:40:25,215 --> 00:40:27,079
but if you're doing it,

733
00:40:27,079 --> 00:40:29,427
it's because you have a
real passion for the art.

734
00:40:31,118 --> 00:40:34,155
So, Mike, have any
big plans for the summer?

735
00:40:34,224 --> 00:40:36,813
I'm going to Comic
Con in a few weeks.

736
00:40:36,882 --> 00:40:39,575
Gonna unload some
inventory, make some room

737
00:40:39,609 --> 00:40:43,061
for this, uh, exciting new
comic line I just picked up.

738
00:40:43,095 --> 00:40:44,614
Awesome.

739
00:40:44,649 --> 00:40:46,616
Wish I was going with you.

740
00:40:46,651 --> 00:40:48,480
Yeah, me too, Brandon.

741
00:40:48,549 --> 00:40:50,586
You know, if, if, if
Brandon were to come--

742
00:40:50,620 --> 00:40:51,828
Absolutely not.

743
00:40:51,897 --> 00:40:52,933
Why not?

744
00:40:52,967 --> 00:40:54,382
I'm not even in school.

745
00:40:54,417 --> 00:40:56,281
It's, like, a summer job.

746
00:40:56,281 --> 00:40:57,489
I could pay him
as an assistant.

747
00:40:57,558 --> 00:41:00,250
I mean, I have a lotta
inventory to move,

748
00:41:00,285 --> 00:41:02,149
so could use the help.

749
00:41:02,183 --> 00:41:04,600
If you wouldn't mind
him coming along, I--

750
00:41:04,634 --> 00:41:05,601
I, I don't think

751
00:41:05,601 --> 00:41:06,567
- this is a good idea.
- No.

752
00:41:06,602 --> 00:41:09,812
Dad, you're always
telling me to get a job,

753
00:41:09,846 --> 00:41:12,090
start a savings, make bank.

754
00:41:12,090 --> 00:41:13,091
What's the difference?

755
00:41:20,788 --> 00:41:25,275
Okay, all
right, you can go.

756
00:41:26,932 --> 00:41:29,348
This is specifically
about work.

757
00:41:30,936 --> 00:41:31,972
Deal?

758
00:41:31,972 --> 00:41:35,493
Yes, yes, thank you.

759
00:41:35,527 --> 00:41:37,529
Look, I promise I'll
look after him, all right?

760
00:41:37,598 --> 00:41:39,600
And this will be a
learning experience,

761
00:41:39,635 --> 00:41:42,120
and he'll make a few
bucks, so it's a win-win.

762
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:48,506
I mean, it's, it's, it's
gonna be a lotta work,

763
00:41:48,540 --> 00:41:52,786
so you know, y-you're not
gonna miss anything, Alex.

764
00:41:52,820 --> 00:41:54,995
Says the man
going to Comic Con.

765
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:04,522
Hey, kid.

766
00:42:05,281 --> 00:42:06,282
- Hey.
- Uh, sorry

767
00:42:06,316 --> 00:42:07,317
'bout the early start.

768
00:42:07,317 --> 00:42:09,250
We got a long drive ahead of us.

769
00:42:09,319 --> 00:42:10,666
You excited for your
first Comic Con?

770
00:42:10,666 --> 00:42:11,736
Hell yeah.

771
00:42:11,805 --> 00:42:13,669
- All right.
- It's a dream.

772
00:42:13,669 --> 00:42:14,911
Hey, uh, you know what you get

773
00:42:14,980 --> 00:42:17,362
when you put the Hulk in
Captain America's clothes?

774
00:42:17,396 --> 00:42:20,089
Ah, a star-spangled Banner?

775
00:42:20,158 --> 00:42:21,746
Come on, kid.

776
00:42:21,815 --> 00:42:22,885
Hey.

777
00:42:22,954 --> 00:42:24,162
- Gotta do better than that.
- You know your stuff.

778
00:42:28,511 --> 00:42:31,859
♪ This farewell
cuts like a knife ♪

779
00:42:33,999 --> 00:42:38,970
♪ It's always hurting
because I can stand her ♪

780
00:42:39,384 --> 00:42:42,249
♪ She was the love of my life ♪

781
00:42:42,283 --> 00:42:43,699
You know, my
dad's still not a big fan

782
00:42:43,733 --> 00:42:45,528
of me coming with you.

783
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:48,945
He thinks drawing
is for children.

784
00:42:49,014 --> 00:42:51,430
Yeah, kinda
picked up on that.

785
00:42:52,708 --> 00:42:57,540
All he talks about is
throwing a football, sports.

786
00:42:59,024 --> 00:43:00,163
Sports can be cool.

787
00:43:01,199 --> 00:43:03,235
I actually played
hockey in high school.

788
00:43:03,270 --> 00:43:05,134
Wasn't half bad either.

789
00:43:05,203 --> 00:43:07,861
I don't get the appeal.

790
00:43:07,895 --> 00:43:10,449
I mean, hockey's
really fun to watch.

791
00:43:10,518 --> 00:43:11,899
It's, like, super exciting.

792
00:43:11,899 --> 00:43:16,214
I mean, you got speed and puck
handling, checking, fighting.

793
00:43:16,248 --> 00:43:18,596
It's like UFC on ice.

794
00:43:18,630 --> 00:43:19,873
I guess. I don't know.

795
00:43:19,907 --> 00:43:23,462
I don't see how a
bunch of sweaty men

796
00:43:23,497 --> 00:43:25,775
hitting each other
with sticks is fun,

797
00:43:27,570 --> 00:43:30,228
and I just wish my dad
understood how I feel

798
00:43:32,402 --> 00:43:35,854
and why comics are
important to me.

799
00:43:40,652 --> 00:43:43,759
Instead, he just brushes
it aside, talking about...

800
00:43:44,932 --> 00:43:46,969
Like, "plan B is,
plan B, plan B."

801
00:43:47,003 --> 00:43:48,936
I don't need a fucking plan B.

802
00:43:48,936 --> 00:43:50,455
I get you.

803
00:43:50,455 --> 00:43:51,663
You know, I think what
you're really saying

804
00:43:51,698 --> 00:43:56,426
is you want your dad to support
you, to accept you, right?

805
00:43:57,773 --> 00:43:59,429
Yeah, I guess.

806
00:44:02,501 --> 00:44:05,435
I don't even think
he, he likes me.

807
00:44:06,298 --> 00:44:09,370
I, I
can't answer that,

808
00:44:09,439 --> 00:44:11,476
and honestly, I wouldn't
even want to try.

809
00:44:12,857 --> 00:44:14,099
But what I can tell you

810
00:44:15,307 --> 00:44:17,171
is that, maybe, if
you take an interest

811
00:44:17,206 --> 00:44:18,621
in something that he likes,

812
00:44:19,967 --> 00:44:21,831
he might start trying
to understand you

813
00:44:23,039 --> 00:44:24,523
and your passion for art.

814
00:44:26,456 --> 00:44:28,907
You know, we all have dreams,

815
00:44:30,184 --> 00:44:31,323
even our parents.

816
00:44:32,704 --> 00:44:35,465
Find his. Open that door.

817
00:44:36,466 --> 00:44:37,813
Maybe he'll surprise you.

818
00:44:40,194 --> 00:44:41,368
You really think so?

819
00:44:42,334 --> 00:44:43,370
I don't know.

820
00:44:46,822 --> 00:44:47,961
Yeah, it'll work.

821
00:44:48,651 --> 00:44:50,618
It's the day
before Comic Con weekend

822
00:44:50,653 --> 00:44:51,999
in San Diego.

823
00:44:51,999 --> 00:44:53,518
Are you ready?

824
00:44:53,552 --> 00:44:57,004
This is The Killers
on WX 97.7 FM.

825
00:44:58,316 --> 00:44:59,386
All right.

826
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,083
Did you see the display
Wild Imagination has?

827
00:45:07,152 --> 00:45:08,326
It's the size of the
fricking Death Star?

828
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,673
How could I miss it?

829
00:45:11,985 --> 00:45:13,055
Are you nervous?

830
00:45:13,089 --> 00:45:15,678
Who? Me? Nervous?
Not on your life.

831
00:45:15,713 --> 00:45:18,060
No, we just need to
sell as much as we can.

832
00:45:18,094 --> 00:45:19,371
I already put in
the Top Guys order,

833
00:45:19,406 --> 00:45:21,373
so there's no turning back now.

834
00:45:21,373 --> 00:45:25,515
Hey, look, it's Mike
from Mike's World.

835
00:45:25,550 --> 00:45:27,276
Going-outta-business
sale here, Mike?

836
00:45:27,345 --> 00:45:29,036
Only the back issues, Chad.

837
00:45:29,036 --> 00:45:30,589
Not to worry. We're
not going anywhere.

838
00:45:30,624 --> 00:45:33,489
Hey, I see child labor's
making a nice comeback.

839
00:45:33,523 --> 00:45:35,871
Very funny.

840
00:45:35,905 --> 00:45:37,079
Brandon, this is Chad,

841
00:45:37,113 --> 00:45:40,876
the owner of that Wild
Imagination monstrosity.

842
00:45:40,910 --> 00:45:43,188
Chad, this is
Brandon, my assistant.

843
00:45:43,223 --> 00:45:44,224
It's nice to meet you.

844
00:45:44,258 --> 00:45:46,260
If you ever wanna see
a real comic shop,

845
00:45:46,295 --> 00:45:48,021
feel free to stop on by.

846
00:45:48,055 --> 00:45:51,127
You know, Alex is
running a tight ship.

847
00:45:51,196 --> 00:45:52,197
You know what I mean.

848
00:45:53,785 --> 00:45:56,201
Good luck. You'll need it.

849
00:45:57,133 --> 00:45:58,721
How did you stay so calm?

850
00:45:58,721 --> 00:46:00,412
I wanna punch him in the face.

851
00:46:00,412 --> 00:46:03,243
He's just trying
to stir the pot, kid.

852
00:46:03,277 --> 00:46:04,589
Best to take the high road.

853
00:46:06,971 --> 00:46:09,111
Here, uh, help me.

854
00:46:09,145 --> 00:46:10,215
Tear me off some tape.

855
00:46:20,225 --> 00:46:22,400
Mike, you ever wish you
could illustrate again?

856
00:46:23,470 --> 00:46:24,471
Sure I do,

857
00:46:25,610 --> 00:46:28,544
but you gotta play the
hand you're dealt, right?

858
00:46:28,578 --> 00:46:29,890
Make the best of it.

859
00:46:31,996 --> 00:46:33,963
What if you were
given another chance?

860
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:37,104
You don't always
get a second chance.

861
00:46:39,658 --> 00:46:40,763
I think you could do it.

862
00:46:41,971 --> 00:46:43,628
Hmm.

863
00:46:43,662 --> 00:46:44,905
I would do anything

864
00:46:44,940 --> 00:46:46,804
to get a chance
like that one day.

865
00:46:51,291 --> 00:46:52,775
Well, stick with it.

866
00:46:52,775 --> 00:46:54,432
You know, work
hard. Stay focused.

867
00:46:54,432 --> 00:46:55,743
Keep honing your craft.

868
00:46:56,675 --> 00:46:57,953
You'll get your chance.

869
00:47:04,269 --> 00:47:05,788
What about Alex?

870
00:47:09,378 --> 00:47:11,483
You know she's into you, right?

871
00:47:11,518 --> 00:47:13,692
All right, it's getting
kinda late for me.

872
00:47:14,659 --> 00:47:16,316
I'm gonna turn in.

873
00:47:16,316 --> 00:47:19,837
Ugh, we got a big day tomorrow.
I need you on your game.

874
00:47:21,045 --> 00:47:22,011
Okay.

875
00:47:34,817 --> 00:47:36,992
Let's make it
an even fifty.

876
00:47:36,992 --> 00:47:39,580
What have you got?
60? Okay.

877
00:47:39,649 --> 00:47:42,169
There you go, and
here's your comics.

878
00:47:42,169 --> 00:47:44,482
We'll be here all weekend
if you need anything else.

879
00:47:44,516 --> 00:47:45,621
Don't be a stranger.

880
00:47:47,519 --> 00:47:48,520
Ha ha ha.

881
00:47:48,555 --> 00:47:50,833
Whoa.

882
00:47:50,868 --> 00:47:52,076
- Hey.
- Yeah.

883
00:47:52,145 --> 00:47:54,872
I was wondering if I could
maybe walk around a bit now

884
00:47:54,906 --> 00:47:57,322
and explore, you
know, more of the...

885
00:47:57,357 --> 00:47:58,841
That's five bucks.

886
00:47:58,876 --> 00:48:01,464
We're here on official
Mike's World business.

887
00:48:01,499 --> 00:48:02,431
It's not playtime.

888
00:48:02,500 --> 00:48:05,192
I, I know. It's
my first time here.

889
00:48:05,227 --> 00:48:08,161
I just wanted to check out
more of the stuff here.

890
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,026
All right, go ahead. Go on.

891
00:48:11,026 --> 00:48:12,061
Thank you.

892
00:48:12,096 --> 00:48:13,856
Look, I'm gonna check
in with you in an hour,

893
00:48:13,891 --> 00:48:15,168
in case I need your help.

894
00:48:15,202 --> 00:48:16,203
Yep.

895
00:48:18,171 --> 00:48:19,413
Hi.

896
00:48:19,448 --> 00:48:21,519
- Mikey D!
- Excuse me. Hey, Danno!

897
00:48:21,553 --> 00:48:22,900
- What's going on, brother?
- How you doing, man?

898
00:48:22,934 --> 00:48:24,039
- Good to see ya.
- Good to see you, too.

899
00:48:24,073 --> 00:48:25,040
How's every thing?

900
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:26,524
Yeah, I'm just working
the booth, you know?

901
00:48:26,558 --> 00:48:27,939
- Looks great, it looks great.
- Thank you, thank you.

902
00:48:28,008 --> 00:48:29,941
Listen, you wanna join me
for dinner tonight?

903
00:48:30,010 --> 00:48:31,529
Oh, you know, I, I'd love to,

904
00:48:31,563 --> 00:48:32,944
but I'm trying to move
some of these issues,

905
00:48:33,013 --> 00:48:34,773
make room for the
new Top Guys stuff.

906
00:48:34,808 --> 00:48:36,879
You know, I sure hope
this thing pans out.

907
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:38,398
All in on this, you know.

908
00:48:38,398 --> 00:48:40,365
Us too, buddy.
Trust me.

909
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,609
Meanwhile, I am promoting a new
series this weekend.

910
00:48:42,678 --> 00:48:44,024
- Oh really?
- Mm-hmm.

911
00:48:44,059 --> 00:48:45,301
Anything interesting?

912
00:48:45,370 --> 00:48:48,063
Tell y'all about it at dinner.
Grey and Johnny's. Nine o'clock.

913
00:48:48,097 --> 00:48:49,271
Come on, you can do it.

914
00:49:00,903 --> 00:49:02,940
What, are you, like,
playing a game, or?

915
00:49:05,943 --> 00:49:06,909
Dan!

916
00:49:06,944 --> 00:49:07,875
- What's up, buddy?
- Hey, man.

917
00:49:07,910 --> 00:49:08,876
How are you?

918
00:49:08,911 --> 00:49:10,292
Good. Thanks so much
for, uh, for coming.

919
00:49:10,326 --> 00:49:12,328
- I really appreciate it.
- Of course, of course.

920
00:49:12,397 --> 00:49:14,744
Sorry. Business
meetings went long.

921
00:49:14,779 --> 00:49:17,092
Nah, I get it.
Oh, this is Brandon.

922
00:49:17,126 --> 00:49:20,267
Oh, how do you
two know each other?

923
00:49:20,302 --> 00:49:21,751
Uh, he's a
regular at the shop.

924
00:49:21,786 --> 00:49:24,271
You know, he wanted to
come along, help out,

925
00:49:24,271 --> 00:49:25,824
check out his first Comic Con.

926
00:49:25,859 --> 00:49:29,242
Nice. And what do you
think so far, young man?

927
00:49:29,276 --> 00:49:31,140
Mike barely let me
go anywhere.

928
00:49:31,175 --> 00:49:34,005
Come on, Mike, let
the kid have some fun.

929
00:49:34,074 --> 00:49:35,489
He lies. He lies.

930
00:49:35,524 --> 00:49:37,284
He's got, like, the
smallest bladder

931
00:49:37,319 --> 00:49:38,423
of any, any human

932
00:49:38,458 --> 00:49:39,459
- known to man.
- Ha ha ha.

933
00:49:39,459 --> 00:49:41,840
So I mean, he took
plenty of breaks.

934
00:49:41,875 --> 00:49:44,119
More importantly, what
are you here promoting?

935
00:49:44,153 --> 00:49:47,501
Oh, "Alien Ants."

936
00:49:47,536 --> 00:49:50,263
- Sounds cool.
- Oh, it is great.

937
00:49:50,297 --> 00:49:51,781
It's a parody comic

938
00:49:51,781 --> 00:49:53,611
full of social commentary,

939
00:49:53,645 --> 00:49:55,923
top illustrations, sharp,

940
00:49:55,958 --> 00:49:58,581
and I am talking about
sharp writing, Mike.

941
00:49:58,616 --> 00:49:59,617
It's amazing.

942
00:50:00,618 --> 00:50:01,619
Huh.

943
00:50:02,344 --> 00:50:03,552
Dan, you...

944
00:50:03,621 --> 00:50:06,244
Do you happen to know anyone
that works at "Techno Man"?

945
00:50:07,211 --> 00:50:08,488
Yeah, I know the writer.

946
00:50:11,974 --> 00:50:13,389
Big "Techno Man" fan, huh?

947
00:50:13,458 --> 00:50:14,528
Yeah.

948
00:50:14,563 --> 00:50:15,943
Maybe you two can meet.

949
00:50:15,978 --> 00:50:17,462
Really?

950
00:50:17,497 --> 00:50:19,533
Yeah, that would be awesome.

951
00:50:19,602 --> 00:50:20,983
Yeah.

952
00:50:25,643 --> 00:50:27,990
Excuse me. So sorry.

953
00:50:27,990 --> 00:50:29,474
Brandon, meet Alan Jackson.

954
00:50:29,509 --> 00:50:31,511
He's a top writer
at "Techno Man."

955
00:50:31,545 --> 00:50:32,650
Alan, meet Brandon.

956
00:50:32,684 --> 00:50:35,377
He's a big fan and a
future illustrator.

957
00:50:35,411 --> 00:50:38,828
So what drew you
to "Techno Man"?

958
00:50:38,863 --> 00:50:41,693
Uh, everything, I guess.

959
00:50:41,728 --> 00:50:42,867
I moved around a lot,

960
00:50:42,901 --> 00:50:45,663
so I wish I could travel
wherever I wanted,

961
00:50:45,663 --> 00:50:46,836
you know?

962
00:50:46,836 --> 00:50:49,011
Guys like Stan
Lee built empires

963
00:50:49,011 --> 00:50:50,530
on creating memorable
characters, you know?

964
00:50:50,530 --> 00:50:52,704
Yeah, but someone
has to draw 'em.

965
00:50:52,704 --> 00:50:54,879
Yeah, but
if you threw a penny,

966
00:50:54,913 --> 00:50:57,192
it would hit someone that
thinks they can draw.

967
00:50:57,226 --> 00:50:58,538
Like Jack Kirby?

968
00:51:00,885 --> 00:51:02,369
How do you two know
each other again?

969
00:51:02,404 --> 00:51:04,682
We called Dan the fun police.

970
00:51:05,786 --> 00:51:07,961
Oh, we worked on a
title a while ago.

971
00:51:08,030 --> 00:51:10,032
Guys, I need to get back,
but uh Brandon, before I go,

972
00:51:10,067 --> 00:51:12,586
you want me to sign
something for you?

973
00:51:12,621 --> 00:51:15,417
Yeah, that would be amazing.

974
00:51:15,451 --> 00:51:16,418
Here you go.

975
00:51:23,735 --> 00:51:24,874
It was nice
meeting you, Brandon.

976
00:51:24,874 --> 00:51:26,117
Thank you so much.

977
00:51:26,186 --> 00:51:27,670
Alan, always a pleasure.

978
00:51:27,705 --> 00:51:28,740
Likewise.

979
00:51:28,775 --> 00:51:29,879
Let's go, pal.

980
00:51:31,157 --> 00:51:32,468
Yeah, how's
traction been at your booth?

981
00:51:32,537 --> 00:51:34,401
- Actually, very good.
- Awesome.

982
00:51:34,401 --> 00:51:35,851
Hey, I wasn't able to
place a big order

983
00:51:35,885 --> 00:51:37,232
for the Top Guys stuff.

984
00:51:37,266 --> 00:51:38,612
Yeah,
buzz has been crazy.

985
00:51:38,647 --> 00:51:40,718
They sent reps nationwide
to build up hype,

986
00:51:40,718 --> 00:51:41,753
least from what I hear.

987
00:51:41,788 --> 00:51:43,652
Ah, well,
hopefully for them,

988
00:51:43,721 --> 00:51:45,412
the quality matches the hype.

989
00:51:45,412 --> 00:51:48,208
Hey, are you guys talking
about that new publisher?

990
00:51:48,243 --> 00:51:49,451
Yeah, you got a order in?

991
00:51:49,485 --> 00:51:51,763
Huge order, actually.

992
00:51:51,798 --> 00:51:53,110
Aren't you nervous it'll flop?

993
00:51:53,144 --> 00:51:54,904
Nervous? Nah.

994
00:51:54,939 --> 00:51:57,079
They got too many
talented people to fail.

995
00:51:57,114 --> 00:51:58,425
Like, look at Image.

996
00:51:58,425 --> 00:52:00,082
It's still here decades later.

997
00:52:00,082 --> 00:52:02,257
Well, Image had
Todd McFarlane.

998
00:52:02,257 --> 00:52:03,879
That's why they
overprinted everything.

999
00:52:06,433 --> 00:52:07,434
Yeah.

1000
00:52:29,836 --> 00:52:34,392
So, do you feel good
about what we sold?

1001
00:52:35,635 --> 00:52:37,913
I'd rather be driving
an empty truck home,

1002
00:52:37,947 --> 00:52:39,156
but yeah, it's a start.

1003
00:52:40,950 --> 00:52:42,711
You did good. Come on,

1004
00:52:42,780 --> 00:52:44,609
let's hit the road.

1005
00:52:46,646 --> 00:52:48,786

Yeah.

1009
00:53:02,386 --> 00:53:03,870
Here's your chance, Brandon.

1010
00:53:05,630 --> 00:53:07,149
What chance?

1011
00:53:07,184 --> 00:53:09,393
Now's your chance to
connect with your dad,

1012
00:53:09,462 --> 00:53:11,981
to understand each other

1013
00:53:12,016 --> 00:53:13,362
for who you both really are.

1014
00:53:16,054 --> 00:53:18,540
Oh, and uh, what
about my website?

1015
00:53:18,574 --> 00:53:19,782
Yeah, I'm gonna have
that up and running

1016
00:53:19,817 --> 00:53:21,163
really, really soon.

1017
00:53:21,198 --> 00:53:22,854
- Thanks, kid.
- No problem.

1018
00:53:23,993 --> 00:53:25,547
Uh, I'll see you, Mike.

1019
00:53:25,581 --> 00:53:26,651
Get some shut-eye.

1020
00:53:26,686 --> 00:53:28,377
I
will. Thanks, Mike.

1021
00:53:45,843 --> 00:53:47,051
Oh, hey, um,

1022
00:53:47,051 --> 00:53:49,778
I really appreciate the indie
selection you guys carry,

1023
00:53:49,847 --> 00:53:51,883
oh, and these new
"Techno Man" issues.

1024
00:53:51,918 --> 00:53:53,713
Super cool.

1025
00:53:53,713 --> 00:53:55,162
You know, I try to keep
stock in of the

1026
00:53:55,197 --> 00:53:56,509
small-publisher titles.

1027
00:53:56,543 --> 00:53:58,442
It's kind of our specialty here.

1028
00:53:58,511 --> 00:54:00,582
Yeah, I was at, uh,
Wild Imagination earlier,

1029
00:54:00,616 --> 00:54:03,240
and their indie
section is so small.

1030
00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:06,104
They, uh, they
have an indie section now?

1031
00:54:06,139 --> 00:54:09,556
Yeah, but nobody really
seems to know much about it.

1032
00:54:09,591 --> 00:54:10,557
Really?

1033
00:54:14,561 --> 00:54:16,460
Hey, you interested in the
new line from Top Guys?

1034
00:54:16,529 --> 00:54:18,738
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, I love Jimmy Farlane.

Oh, Mikey, Mikey, Mikey,
Mikey, the man.

1065
00:55:34,779 --> 00:55:35,642
- Hey.
- What's up, man?

1066
00:55:35,677 --> 00:55:36,643
Scotty.

1067
00:55:36,678 --> 00:55:38,058
- What's up? Right?
- Oh, I got your stuff.

1068
00:55:38,127 --> 00:55:40,647
- Okay.
- Got your stuff right here.

1069
00:55:40,682 --> 00:55:41,959
- Here's your stuff.
- My God,

1070
00:55:41,993 --> 00:55:43,857
this is great.

1071
00:55:43,926 --> 00:55:45,307
This is great.

1072
00:55:45,342 --> 00:55:47,102
- You happy?
- Dude!

1073
00:55:47,136 --> 00:55:50,001
- Yeah?
- Dude, I'm beyond happy.

1074
00:55:50,726 --> 00:55:51,693
Score, Brother.

1075
00:55:51,727 --> 00:55:53,557
Score. Hey, I'm gonna
bag this up for you.

1076
00:55:53,626 --> 00:55:54,834
Okay, let's do it.

1077
00:55:54,868 --> 00:55:56,180
I don't want you get
jacked in the parking lot.

1078
00:55:56,180 --> 00:55:58,320
That wouldn't be good.
Thanks again, Mike.

1079
00:55:59,494 --> 00:56:00,840
Thank you so
much. I owe you.

1080
00:56:00,874 --> 00:56:02,842
- Oh yeah.
- Thank you, Brother.

1081
00:56:02,842 --> 00:56:03,946
- You got it.
- "The Flaming Carrot."

1082
00:56:03,981 --> 00:56:05,016
"Flaming Carrot,"

1083
00:56:05,016 --> 00:56:05,948
- I'm on the hunt.
- That's great.

1084
00:56:05,983 --> 00:56:07,087
It's gonna be expensive.

1085
00:56:07,156 --> 00:56:09,538
I'm Carrot
Top, bitch. Come on, now!

1086
00:56:09,573 --> 00:56:11,575
- Yeah, it's true.
- All right.

1087
00:56:11,644 --> 00:56:12,852
Wow.

1088
00:56:12,852 --> 00:56:14,923
- Is Farlane really coming here?
- Yeah, he's coming.

1089
00:56:14,992 --> 00:56:16,649
He's doing a signing for us.

1090
00:56:16,683 --> 00:56:18,685
How did you make that happen?

1091
00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:20,342
I agreed to pay for
his airfare, hotel,

1092
00:56:20,377 --> 00:56:21,757
and give him a signing fee.

1093
00:56:21,826 --> 00:56:23,518
Just like that.

1094
00:56:23,518 --> 00:56:26,866
He's a bit of
a gambler. Loves Vegas.

1095
00:56:28,212 --> 00:56:29,696
You gotta let me
read those new issues.

1096
00:56:29,696 --> 00:56:31,008
You know I can't
let you read 'em

1097
00:56:31,008 --> 00:56:32,009
until the launch.

1098
00:56:33,217 --> 00:56:34,701
Sorry.

1099
00:56:34,736 --> 00:56:35,737
Uh.

1100
00:56:54,238 --> 00:56:55,239
Hmm.

1101
00:57:22,439 --> 00:57:23,440
Who is it?

1102
00:57:23,474 --> 00:57:24,648
It's Alex.

1103
00:57:24,717 --> 00:57:25,683
Come in.

1104
00:57:27,202 --> 00:57:28,272
Hey, we have another customer

1105
00:57:28,306 --> 00:57:30,274
asking about signed
Farlane comics.

1106
00:57:30,308 --> 00:57:31,931
Well, just tell 'em to
come back tomorrow, okay?

1107
00:57:31,965 --> 00:57:33,104
I am working on it.

1108
00:57:33,139 --> 00:57:35,244
I mean, they'll
be here tomorrow.

1109
00:57:39,007 --> 00:57:41,975
Look, babe, we'll just
keep this between us, huh?

1110
00:57:42,044 --> 00:57:43,149
Mm-hmm.

1111
00:57:43,218 --> 00:57:45,220
- Yeah?
- Yep.

1112
00:57:53,573 --> 00:57:55,368
All right, okay,

1113
00:57:55,437 --> 00:57:58,440
so, drawing has a
certain technique, right?

1114
00:57:58,475 --> 00:58:00,407
There's certain things
you have to do correctly.

1115
00:58:00,442 --> 00:58:01,616
Yeah, I mean, it's different.

1116
00:58:01,616 --> 00:58:04,135
Like, I can't even throw
the ball at all, so.

1117
00:58:04,170 --> 00:58:06,586
Well, you couldn't draw
once at all either, huh?

1118
00:58:06,621 --> 00:58:08,519
All right, now look.
You grab the football

1119
00:58:08,588 --> 00:58:11,349
with your thumb and your
middle finger, okay?

1120
00:58:11,384 --> 00:58:14,111
And then you clasp your
other fingers around it,

1121
00:58:14,145 --> 00:58:16,354
and when you first
wind up to throw, okay,

1122
00:58:17,321 --> 00:58:20,324
you keep your elbow above
your armpit at first.

1123
00:58:20,358 --> 00:58:21,946
And then when you
go to release it,

1124
00:58:21,981 --> 00:58:23,983
the last finger
that leaves the ball

1125
00:58:23,983 --> 00:58:25,985
is your index finger, okay?
Got it?

1126
00:58:25,985 --> 00:58:27,331
- Brandon, go along.
- Okay.

1127
00:58:36,547 --> 00:58:38,653
- Hey, look at that.
- It's kinda fun.

1128
00:58:38,653 --> 00:58:40,482
- Huh?
- Yeah.

1129
00:58:40,482 --> 00:58:44,141
Just remember,
whatever you do in life,

1130
00:58:45,038 --> 00:58:47,351
it's gonna be a
struggle at first,

1131
00:58:47,385 --> 00:58:49,042
but if you learn the
proper techniques

1132
00:58:49,111 --> 00:58:50,354
and you practice,

1133
00:58:51,976 --> 00:58:53,806
it'll get much easier.

1134
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,810
But you gotta practice
and never quit.

1135
00:59:00,571 --> 00:59:03,367
Dad, are you bothered
that I'm not athletic?

1136
00:59:03,401 --> 00:59:05,403
Not at all, Son.

1137
00:59:08,027 --> 00:59:10,823
Most of us won't do anything
but watch sports as adults,

1138
00:59:12,065 --> 00:59:15,690
but healthy body, healthy mind.

1139
00:59:15,724 --> 00:59:18,347
Life is all about balance, okay?

1140
00:59:21,316 --> 00:59:22,766
Now, go long.

1141
00:59:22,835 --> 00:59:23,801
It's all you.

1142
00:59:24,526 --> 00:59:26,183
There it is. Come on.

1143
00:59:27,356 --> 00:59:29,048
Awesome. Come on, one more.

1144
00:59:29,082 --> 00:59:30,532

Hmm.

1152
01:00:48,955 --> 01:00:50,129
What are you doing?

1153
01:00:50,163 --> 01:00:54,133
I'm just, uh, sorting
things in the garage.

1154
01:00:54,167 --> 01:00:55,721
I didn't even
know you could play.

1155
01:00:55,790 --> 01:00:58,102
Well, I told you I was in
a rock band in high school.

1156
01:00:58,102 --> 01:00:59,483
Why'd you stop?

1157
01:00:59,517 --> 01:01:01,796
We made a few CDs. We
tried to get them out.

1158
01:01:02,762 --> 01:01:06,663
I joined the military.
Life happened.

1159
01:01:09,010 --> 01:01:10,908
I really haven't
played it since then.

1160
01:01:12,634 --> 01:01:14,049
You should.

1161
01:01:14,118 --> 01:01:16,880
Mom would probably
love to hear you play.

1162
01:01:16,949 --> 01:01:17,915
Yeah.

1163
01:01:19,330 --> 01:01:20,331
I guess so.

1164
01:01:22,644 --> 01:01:24,681
We should go help your
mom get dinner ready.

1165
01:01:26,372 --> 01:01:27,373
Okay.

1166
01:01:38,660 --> 01:01:40,144
It's time!

1167
01:01:40,558 --> 01:01:41,525
Really?

1168
01:01:43,113 --> 01:01:44,183
Okay.

1169
01:01:44,183 --> 01:01:46,461
Yeah, let's see if this
Top Guys stuff lives up

1170
01:01:46,495 --> 01:01:47,565
to the hype, shall we?

1171
01:01:48,497 --> 01:01:50,223
Here, uh, one for you,

1172
01:01:50,292 --> 01:01:51,846
one for me,

1173
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:53,571
another one for me,

1174
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:54,849
three for me.

1175
01:01:54,883 --> 01:01:56,160
Just kidding, one for you.

1176
01:01:57,403 --> 01:01:59,405
Ah.

1177
01:02:02,857 --> 01:02:04,203
Yes.

1178
01:02:16,491 --> 01:02:17,837
Wow.

1179
01:02:26,708 --> 01:02:27,709
Hmm.

1180
01:02:29,262 --> 01:02:31,057
That's more like it.

1181
01:02:32,403 --> 01:02:33,922
Pff.

1182
01:02:42,620 --> 01:02:43,621
Wow.

1183
01:02:45,554 --> 01:02:47,073
What did you think?

1184
01:02:47,073 --> 01:02:50,249
I think Dan
screwed me good.

1185
01:02:50,249 --> 01:02:51,250
These are terrible.

1186
01:02:53,045 --> 01:02:54,253
Ugh.

1187
01:02:54,253 --> 01:02:57,118
The, the Farlane
one was fun, I think,

1188
01:02:57,187 --> 01:02:58,222
though the rest-

1189
01:02:58,222 --> 01:03:00,224
Garbage? Awful?

1190
01:03:00,259 --> 01:03:02,261
They suck. They suck.

1191
01:03:03,262 --> 01:03:04,470
The fans,

1192
01:03:04,504 --> 01:03:07,714
they're gonna wanna find
out for themselves anyway.

1193
01:03:07,749 --> 01:03:10,441
Yeah, let's hope
you're right, kid. Pff.

1194
01:03:11,822 --> 01:03:13,859
God, so stupid.

1195
01:03:15,274 --> 01:03:17,621
I might have something
that could cheer you up.

1196
01:03:35,121 --> 01:03:36,364
This is fantastic, Brandon.

1197
01:03:36,433 --> 01:03:38,607
I mean, wow, I, I, I love it.

1198
01:03:38,642 --> 01:03:41,438
This is great work.

1199
01:03:42,163 --> 01:03:45,511
Just name it. Anything in
the store you want, just ask.

1200
01:03:45,580 --> 01:03:47,099
It's yours. Anything.

1201
01:03:49,308 --> 01:03:53,001
Uh, okay.

1202
01:04:11,054 --> 01:04:12,193
Brandon, you got this.

1203
01:04:12,227 --> 01:04:13,677
Okay, you built me
a kick-ass website.

1204
01:04:13,711 --> 01:04:15,230
I think you can
use the register.

1205
01:04:15,299 --> 01:04:17,681
All right, just remember,
any questions, ask.

1206
01:04:17,681 --> 01:04:19,648
I'll be over here,
managing Jimmy's signing.

1207
01:04:19,683 --> 01:04:21,202
You ring the people up, okay?

1208
01:04:21,236 --> 01:04:22,444
- Yeah.
- Cool?

1209
01:04:24,032 --> 01:04:25,378
Ah, Jimmy.

1210
01:04:25,447 --> 01:04:26,517
Yo.

1211
01:04:26,517 --> 01:04:28,347
You know, I bought
like 500 of these things.

1212
01:04:28,381 --> 01:04:29,417
Help me move 'em, will ya?

1213
01:04:29,486 --> 01:04:30,383
Yeah, we'll move
them all, man.

1214
01:04:30,452 --> 01:04:31,971
- Okay, cool.
- Yeah.

1215
01:04:32,006 --> 01:04:33,179
Hey, thank you for your support.

1216
01:04:33,214 --> 01:04:34,698
- Thank you.
- Yeah, of course.

1217
01:04:39,013 --> 01:04:39,979
Oh.

1218
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:42,913
Got a little water.

1219
01:04:42,982 --> 01:04:44,984
It's always good to
stay hydrated, Jimmy.

1220
01:04:45,019 --> 01:04:47,021
What do you say we
fire this baby up?

1221
01:04:47,021 --> 01:04:48,263
Uh, yeah, why not?

1222
01:04:48,332 --> 01:04:50,748
It's a, it's a little
early. If you don't mind.

1223
01:04:50,817 --> 01:04:51,957
I'm here, man, let's roll.

1224
01:04:52,026 --> 01:04:53,993
Okay, yeah, you know,
you're the, uh, guest of honor.

1225
01:04:54,028 --> 01:04:56,202
Please, have a seat.
You comfortable?

1226
01:04:56,237 --> 01:04:57,548
- Um, yeah.
- All right, ow.

1227
01:04:57,583 --> 01:04:58,722
Mmm.

1228
01:04:58,722 --> 01:05:00,413
There you go.
You need anything?

1229
01:05:00,448 --> 01:05:01,552
- No.
- Okay.

1230
01:05:01,552 --> 01:05:03,416
No, one more of these
and we'll be real good.

1231
01:05:06,385 --> 01:05:08,214
Oh, gee, okay,
can you back up?

1232
01:05:08,214 --> 01:05:11,079
- Back up! Back up, everyone!
- Bunch of savages! All right?

1233
01:05:11,079 --> 01:05:13,702
Listen, I'm gonna bring you
guys in five at a time, okay?

1234
01:05:13,737 --> 01:05:15,601
Hey, hey, hey, don't
forget the hot girl.

1235
01:05:15,670 --> 01:05:16,774
Uh, you.

1236
01:05:16,878 --> 01:05:19,191
Yep, both of 'em,
both of 'em, both of 'em!

1237
01:05:19,225 --> 01:05:20,778
Show a little respect, okay?

1238
01:05:20,847 --> 01:05:22,263
Let's go. One,

1239
01:05:22,297 --> 01:05:23,264
- two.
- Thank you.

1240
01:05:23,333 --> 01:05:24,679
Three, four,

1241
01:05:24,713 --> 01:05:26,923
excuse me sir, five.

1242
01:05:28,752 --> 01:05:29,891
Hey, what's
up, my brother?

1243
01:05:29,926 --> 01:05:31,065
- How you doing?
- How's it going, man?

1244
01:05:31,065 --> 01:05:32,618
All right.

1245
01:05:33,274 --> 01:05:34,275
Ooh.

1246
01:05:34,309 --> 01:05:35,966
Outside books are 20, okay?

1247
01:05:36,035 --> 01:05:38,762
Now, you can get "Tales
of Zargus" signed for free

1248
01:05:38,796 --> 01:05:39,797
if you buy the issue.

1249
01:05:39,832 --> 01:05:40,867
Yeah, yeah, that's,
that's fine, whatever.

1250
01:05:40,902 --> 01:05:42,283
Okay, great, you'll take one,
wonderful.

1251
01:05:42,317 --> 01:05:43,318
Yeah, but uh, Jimmy,

1252
01:05:43,387 --> 01:05:45,251
w-why'd you quit "Dead
and Lycan It," bro?

1253
01:05:45,286 --> 01:05:47,322
Oh man, I wanted to create
my own stories, buddy-

1254
01:05:47,391 --> 01:05:48,461
original material.

1255
01:05:48,496 --> 01:05:50,049
Hmm, like "Tales of Zargus"?

1256
01:05:50,084 --> 01:05:51,430
That's exactly what
I'm talking about.

1257
01:05:51,464 --> 01:05:54,571
I guarantee you will like this.
Just take it.

1258
01:05:54,605 --> 01:05:56,469
- Yeah?
- I guarantee.

1259
01:05:57,056 --> 01:05:58,437
- I take three of 'em.
- Oh, hey!

1260
01:05:58,437 --> 01:05:59,576
- There we go. My man!
- Big baller!

1261
01:05:59,610 --> 01:06:00,611
My man!

1262
01:06:00,611 --> 01:06:01,612
That's what we're
talking about.

1263
01:06:01,612 --> 01:06:02,751
- My man. All right.
- Appreciate you, man.

1264
01:06:02,786 --> 01:06:04,270
Pay with Brandon,
over at the register.

1265
01:06:04,270 --> 01:06:05,271
- All right.
- Brandon'll ring you out.

1266
01:06:05,271 --> 01:06:06,410
All right.

1267
01:06:18,802 --> 01:06:20,769
♪ Take a feel

1268
01:06:20,804 --> 01:06:22,599
♪ Make a deal

1269
01:06:22,633 --> 01:06:23,738

♪ Oh, ow

1276
01:06:38,546 --> 01:06:39,857
Later,
bro, have a good one.

1277
01:06:39,926 --> 01:06:41,652
- Thanks.
- All right.

1278
01:06:41,687 --> 01:06:44,000
That is the last
of 'em, Jimmy.

1279
01:06:44,034 --> 01:06:45,139
- Well done, my friend.
- Ha ha, good,

1280
01:06:45,139 --> 01:06:47,486
'cause I am ready to
get my gamble on, baby.

1281
01:06:47,486 --> 01:06:49,557
- Thanks for coming out, man.
- Yeah, aw, man, my pleasure.

1282
01:06:49,626 --> 01:06:50,627
Don't spend it
all in one place.

1283
01:06:50,627 --> 01:06:51,835
Uh, you know I will.

1284
01:06:52,974 --> 01:06:53,975
- Thanks, buddy.
- You got it.

1285
01:06:53,975 --> 01:06:54,838
- Yeah, man.
- Thank you.

1286
01:06:54,872 --> 01:06:55,873
Appreciate you.

1287
01:06:58,600 --> 01:06:59,877
Who drew those?

1288
01:06:59,946 --> 01:07:01,327
Those are mine.

1289
01:07:01,362 --> 01:07:04,192
Man, those are good,
like next-level good.

1290
01:07:04,227 --> 01:07:05,883
We still on for dinner?

1291
01:07:05,952 --> 01:07:07,161
You're still buying, right?

1292
01:07:07,195 --> 01:07:08,196
Yeah, why not?

1293
01:07:08,231 --> 01:07:10,888
Yeah, time to go make
some real money, baby.

1294
01:07:10,923 --> 01:07:13,305
Those high rollers
better watch out! Whoo!

1295
01:07:15,307 --> 01:07:17,826
He'll lose it
all before dinner.

1296
01:07:18,896 --> 01:07:21,175
They built a strip
on guys like Jimmy.

1297
01:07:21,175 --> 01:07:22,866
Good job today.

1298
01:07:23,522 --> 01:07:24,523
Thanks.

1299
01:07:26,525 --> 01:07:29,355
"Tales of Zargus" definitely
rang up the most sales,

1300
01:07:29,355 --> 01:07:31,357
thanks to your quick thinking.

1301
01:07:31,357 --> 01:07:33,566
And the fact that it's the
only one that doesn't suck.

1302
01:07:33,635 --> 01:07:34,705
Hmm.

1303
01:07:34,705 --> 01:07:38,088
Hey, you never, like,
told me the real reason

1304
01:07:38,157 --> 01:07:40,228
why you quit illustrating.

1305
01:07:40,263 --> 01:07:42,230
It's because there's
not much to tell.

1306
01:07:42,265 --> 01:07:43,542
You know, I got laid off,

1307
01:07:43,576 --> 01:07:44,922
couldn't find another job.

1308
01:07:44,991 --> 01:07:47,373
So just like
that, you gave up?

1309
01:07:47,408 --> 01:07:51,205
Look, Brandon, uh, uh,
the adult world is full

1310
01:07:51,239 --> 01:07:55,243
of stress and
responsibilities and bills.

1311
01:07:56,382 --> 01:07:58,246
It's not all superheroes
and rainbows.

1312
01:07:59,247 --> 01:08:01,042
I don't think I
could do something

1313
01:08:01,077 --> 01:08:04,114
that I'm not happy
doing, y-you know?

1314
01:08:04,149 --> 01:08:09,223
Uh, and honestly, you just
really deserve better, Mike.

1315
01:08:09,257 --> 01:08:12,950
Yeah, well, we all
deserve better, buddy.

1316
01:08:13,019 --> 01:08:14,055
Welcome to adulthood.

1317
01:08:16,609 --> 01:08:18,059
All right, so I'm at
the Bellagio, right?

1318
01:08:18,059 --> 01:08:20,061
And I'm sitting next to
this little honey, man.

1319
01:08:20,096 --> 01:08:21,442
She is so fine.

1320
01:08:21,476 --> 01:08:23,202
She's so fine. Gah!

1321
01:08:23,237 --> 01:08:24,445
I'm trying to impress
her a little bit,

1322
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:25,963
so I doubled down.

1323
01:08:25,998 --> 01:08:28,794
The dealer hits 21. There
goes the last of it.

1324
01:08:28,828 --> 01:08:31,590
Oof, sorry to
hear that, Jimmy.

1325
01:08:31,624 --> 01:08:33,557
Yeah, maybe you're up
for another signing, then.

1326
01:08:33,557 --> 01:08:34,593
No.

1327
01:08:34,627 --> 01:08:36,112
Let's make this
a monthly deal.

1328
01:08:36,146 --> 01:08:37,320
No, man, no, no, no.

1329
01:08:37,389 --> 01:08:38,562
All right, I'd just
give it all back to 'em.

1330
01:08:38,562 --> 01:08:39,908
Oh yeah.

1331
01:08:39,943 --> 01:08:43,464
So, um, Danno tells me you
were a rockstar illustrator

1332
01:08:43,533 --> 01:08:44,948
back in the day.

1333
01:08:44,982 --> 01:08:45,914
He exaggerates.

1334
01:08:45,949 --> 01:08:47,330
Mmm.

1335
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:48,676
Aw, come on, now,
I've seen your work.

1336
01:08:48,745 --> 01:08:51,334
I mean, I know you're probably
killing it at the comic shop.

1337
01:08:51,403 --> 01:08:54,544
But I mean, don't you
ever wonder what if?

1338
01:08:55,890 --> 01:08:57,616
Yeah, of course, you know.

1339
01:08:57,650 --> 01:08:59,169
It's not like I
lost the passion.

1340
01:08:59,238 --> 01:09:02,345
It's just, didn't
pay the bills.

1341
01:09:02,414 --> 01:09:04,623
Hmm, I don't know, Mikey.

1342
01:09:04,623 --> 01:09:07,419
Looks to me like the artist
inside you never left.

1343
01:09:18,119 --> 01:09:21,295
Hey there. Can I
help you find anything?

1344
01:09:21,295 --> 01:09:22,986
Nah, just browsing.

1345
01:09:23,020 --> 01:09:23,952
Thanks, though, man.

1346
01:09:24,953 --> 01:09:27,024
Have you seen the
new Top Guys stuff?

1347
01:09:27,059 --> 01:09:29,993
Just, uh, "Zargus."
It was all right.

1348
01:09:29,993 --> 01:09:32,789
Oh, uh, ha-have you
actually read any of them?

1349
01:09:32,789 --> 01:09:34,653
Just heard they sucked.

1350
01:09:34,687 --> 01:09:37,138
You know, issue
number one, signed?

1351
01:09:37,138 --> 01:09:39,313
Could be pretty
collectible. Just saying.

1352
01:09:58,711 --> 01:09:59,816
Hey, Mike, what's up?

1353
01:10:01,611 --> 01:10:02,612
Eight o'clock?

1354
01:10:03,820 --> 01:10:05,166
Yeah, yeah, I can do that.

1355
01:10:06,409 --> 01:10:07,375
See you then.

1356
01:10:13,139 --> 01:10:14,624
It is kinda your fault though.

1357
01:10:15,832 --> 01:10:17,005
Yeah, I know it is.

1358
01:10:18,110 --> 01:10:22,183
Look, y-you, you mean more
to me than any employee.

1359
01:10:24,703 --> 01:10:26,083
Just didn't wanna
bring you down with me.

1360
01:10:27,947 --> 01:10:30,571
Mike, why couldn't you
let me decide for myself?

1361
01:10:31,710 --> 01:10:32,987
I mean, after working together

1362
01:10:33,021 --> 01:10:36,059
and being so close for so long,

1363
01:10:36,093 --> 01:10:37,060
thought we were a team.

1364
01:10:37,094 --> 01:10:38,095
Yeah.

1365
01:10:39,027 --> 01:10:42,514
You and me, Alex and Mike,

1366
01:10:43,584 --> 01:10:44,930
fist bumps,

1367
01:10:44,999 --> 01:10:46,518
high fives,

1368
01:10:47,243 --> 01:10:48,865
against all odds, you know?

1369
01:10:48,865 --> 01:10:49,866
Yeah.

1370
01:10:51,592 --> 01:10:53,490
It's kind of
embarrassing to say, but,

1371
01:10:54,733 --> 01:10:56,907
but once I realized you
weren't there anymore,

1372
01:10:58,875 --> 01:11:00,221
started to miss you.

1373
01:11:01,705 --> 01:11:02,982
And?

1374
01:11:03,051 --> 01:11:04,432
And I realized
how much I need you.

1375
01:11:04,467 --> 01:11:08,540
Mm! Don't know what you
got till it's gone, huh?

1376
01:11:08,574 --> 01:11:12,233
And I definitely missed
your fortune cookie wisdom.

1377
01:11:12,268 --> 01:11:13,269
Mm-hmm.

1378
01:11:13,303 --> 01:11:16,962
Charming sarcasm,
and, uh, biting wit.

1379
01:11:17,031 --> 01:11:19,240
There's that.

1380
01:11:19,275 --> 01:11:20,276
Beautiful eyes.

1381
01:11:24,245 --> 01:11:28,939
Well, I'm not your
employee anymore, so.

1382
01:11:33,668 --> 01:11:34,911
Check, please.

1383
01:11:34,911 --> 01:11:35,981
Yeah, thanks.

1384
01:13:29,991 --> 01:13:31,648
Wake up!

1385
01:13:33,857 --> 01:13:34,858
Up!

1386
01:13:54,809 --> 01:13:56,742
Why would I burn
down my own shop?

1387
01:13:56,742 --> 01:13:58,123
I don't even have insurance.

1388
01:13:58,157 --> 01:14:00,746
We're just trying to get the
facts straight, Mr. DiAngelo.

1389
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,405
Would you, uh, like to
come down to the station?

1390
01:14:06,407 --> 01:14:07,753
Do I really have a choice?

1391
01:14:24,805 --> 01:14:25,944
Hey.

1392
01:14:25,978 --> 01:14:27,324
Hey.

1393
01:14:28,256 --> 01:14:30,086
Uh, thanks
for picking me up.

1394
01:14:30,086 --> 01:14:31,777
Yeah, no problem.

1395
01:14:33,054 --> 01:14:34,953
Just when I thought things
couldn't get any worse, huh?

1396
01:14:34,953 --> 01:14:36,575
You know, you can stay with me

1397
01:14:36,610 --> 01:14:37,956
until you figure things out.

1398
01:14:39,923 --> 01:14:41,304
Thanks.

1399
01:14:41,338 --> 01:14:44,238
But, I just wanna get back
to the shop, see what's left.

1400
01:14:45,446 --> 01:14:46,343
All right.

1401
01:14:49,277 --> 01:14:51,141
It's my mother.

1402
01:14:55,283 --> 01:14:56,733
You know, I feel kinda guilty.

1403
01:14:57,838 --> 01:14:59,322
My parents are the ones
who gave me the money

1404
01:14:59,356 --> 01:15:00,357
to open the shop.

1405
01:15:02,152 --> 01:15:03,291
It's not your fault, Mike.

1406
01:15:03,326 --> 01:15:04,914
You didn't burn the place down.

1407
01:15:06,018 --> 01:15:07,848
But I'm happy it
went up in flames.

1408
01:15:10,057 --> 01:15:13,957
You know, being a small business
owner was never my passion.

1409
01:15:16,304 --> 01:15:17,374
It was my plan B,

1410
01:15:19,722 --> 01:15:23,657
and maybe that was part of the
reason I was such a asshole.

1411
01:15:24,865 --> 01:15:25,866
Took you for granted.

1412
01:15:28,144 --> 01:15:29,766
I didn't appreciate myself,

1413
01:15:32,044 --> 01:15:34,460
and I didn't want you to
figure out what a loser I am.

1414
01:15:36,842 --> 01:15:38,223
You are not a loser, Mike.

1415
01:15:40,328 --> 01:15:41,571
Let's get outta here.

1416
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:43,228
Yeah, all right.

1417
01:15:54,170 --> 01:15:55,171
Thanks.

1418
01:16:16,502 --> 01:16:18,539
Oh my God,

1419
01:16:18,574 --> 01:16:19,747
I thought you were dead.

1420
01:16:20,886 --> 01:16:21,853
Probably should be.

1421
01:16:22,854 --> 01:16:25,408
If it wasn't for the North
Vegas Fire Department, I,

1422
01:16:26,754 --> 01:16:28,342
I would've slept
through the whole thing.

1423
01:16:28,376 --> 01:16:29,412
What a disaster.

1424
01:16:30,862 --> 01:16:32,967
Do you even know how
it started? Y-...

1425
01:16:33,036 --> 01:16:34,106
That don't even matter, Brother.

1426
01:16:34,141 --> 01:16:35,245
Is there anything that you need?

1427
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:37,144
Anything at all, you name it.

1428
01:16:37,213 --> 01:16:39,905
Yeah, uh, take
a shot of bourbon.

1429
01:16:45,186 --> 01:16:46,878
Here you are, my friend.

1430
01:16:46,912 --> 01:16:48,742
This one is on the house.

1431
01:16:54,264 --> 01:16:57,474
You, uh, mind if I give
you a little advice?

1432
01:17:01,306 --> 01:17:03,653
You know, that's what
got me to this place,

1433
01:17:03,688 --> 01:17:08,416
so with all due respect, I
think I'm done with advice.

1434
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,767
♪ See, a man's got to know

1435
01:17:13,767 --> 01:17:17,840
♪ What's in his
beloved's heart ♪

1436
01:17:17,909 --> 01:17:22,085
♪ 'Cause if he pushes too far ♪

1437
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,433
♪ They might end up apart

1438
01:18:09,029 --> 01:18:11,997
Your
mother and I love you.

1439
01:18:11,997 --> 01:18:13,136
We believe in you.

1440
01:18:14,897 --> 01:18:16,692
Now, we want you
to take this money.

1441
01:18:18,452 --> 01:18:20,005
Just start your own business.

1442
01:18:28,013 --> 01:18:29,705
Mike?

1443
01:18:31,189 --> 01:18:32,190
Mike?

1444
01:18:36,297 --> 01:18:37,298
Mike?

1445
01:18:40,543 --> 01:18:41,682
Mike.

1446
01:18:43,063 --> 01:18:44,064
Mike.

1447
01:18:44,650 --> 01:18:45,651
Mike.

1448
01:18:46,411 --> 01:18:47,999
What the hell?

1449
01:18:48,033 --> 01:18:49,483
Wake up.

1450
01:18:49,517 --> 01:18:52,348
Go away, kid. Leave me alone.

1451
01:18:54,384 --> 01:18:56,939
Go back home to your
parents where you belong.

1452
01:18:57,008 --> 01:18:58,388
I belong right here.

1453
01:18:59,148 --> 01:19:00,321
I'm...

1454
01:19:00,874 --> 01:19:02,876
Come on. We've got
more work to do.

1455
01:19:02,876 --> 01:19:03,842
Come on, get up.

1456
01:19:04,947 --> 01:19:07,535
You know, I keep telling
myself to give up the booze.

1457
01:19:09,399 --> 01:19:11,885
Then again, who's
gonna believe it?

1458
01:19:11,885 --> 01:19:14,370
Who's gonna believe a
drunk who talks to himself?

1459
01:19:22,861 --> 01:19:24,380
I do.

1460
01:19:25,381 --> 01:19:27,003
Mike, I do.

1461
01:19:27,935 --> 01:19:33,423
Just, just look at
all these drawings,

1462
01:19:33,423 --> 01:19:38,083
and think of all the people
who would come just to,

1463
01:19:38,083 --> 01:19:42,847
just to hear you talk
or, or sign some comics.

1464
01:19:45,884 --> 01:19:46,851
You have it.

1465
01:19:53,996 --> 01:19:55,066
This is who you are.

1466
01:19:56,446 --> 01:19:59,415
That's what you're supposed
to be doing, not,

1467
01:20:00,105 --> 01:20:01,313
not lying here like this.

1468
01:20:01,382 --> 01:20:03,557
Come on, get up.

1469
01:20:04,592 --> 01:20:08,320
You know, I used to be
just like you, kid, so young,

1470
01:20:09,908 --> 01:20:11,668
full of hopes and dreams.

1471
01:20:14,637 --> 01:20:15,949
So, what? Now you're
old and cynical?

1472
01:20:15,983 --> 01:20:20,954
Hey, don't you call
me old.

1473
01:20:28,927 --> 01:20:29,963
This has gotta go.

1474
01:21:39,377 --> 01:21:40,378
Is this me?

1475
01:21:41,551 --> 01:21:42,518
Yeah.

1476
01:21:43,415 --> 01:21:45,728
This could be a
recruiting poster.

1477
01:21:45,728 --> 01:21:48,731
Thought I'd draw a
real hero for once.

1478
01:21:48,765 --> 01:21:50,043
It's a great piece, Son.

1479
01:21:51,734 --> 01:21:52,873
Thanks, Dad.

1480
01:21:55,289 --> 01:21:57,395
Look,

1481
01:22:00,881 --> 01:22:03,194
I know you and I don't
always see eye to eye,

1482
01:22:04,436 --> 01:22:07,405
but I want you to know, whatever
you choose to do in life,

1483
01:22:07,405 --> 01:22:09,096
you're gonna be
really great at it.

1484
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:13,583
I just don't wanna end up

1485
01:22:13,583 --> 01:22:16,724
stuck doing something
I don't love, you know?

1486
01:22:18,209 --> 01:22:21,626
Son, life is about compromise.

1487
01:22:21,660 --> 01:22:24,215
It's about finding ways to
protect what's important.

1488
01:22:26,562 --> 01:22:28,046
I loved playing guitar,

1489
01:22:29,599 --> 01:22:31,015
but I love you and Mom more.

1490
01:22:31,981 --> 01:22:33,741
Mm, I love drawing,

1491
01:22:33,776 --> 01:22:38,022
so much that, like, I couldn't
imagine doing anything else.

1492
01:22:39,437 --> 01:22:43,406
I will support you in
whatever major you choose,

1493
01:22:44,511 --> 01:22:48,756
but you gotta promise
me to keep an open mind.

1494
01:22:48,791 --> 01:22:51,207
Uh, n-, uh,
yeah, I will, yeah.

1495
01:22:53,934 --> 01:22:55,280
You know, I was thinking,

1496
01:22:55,798 --> 01:22:57,869
someday, maybe we could do,

1497
01:22:57,938 --> 01:23:02,908
like, a father-son activity or,
uh, I don't know, something.

1498
01:23:04,255 --> 01:23:05,566
You okay, Son?

1499
01:23:05,601 --> 01:23:07,465
Yes, yeah.

1500
01:23:07,465 --> 01:23:11,469
Yeah, Mike was telling me,
like, how fun sports can be.

1501
01:23:11,469 --> 01:23:13,195
Oh, Mike was
telling you that, huh?

1502
01:23:13,264 --> 01:23:15,335
I think I told you
that years ago.

1503
01:23:15,369 --> 01:23:16,474
Yeah, but um-

1504
01:23:16,474 --> 01:23:18,510
But I'm your father, so...

1505
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:20,961
I get it.

1506
01:23:22,307 --> 01:23:25,793
Okay, well, how
'bout we go bowling?

1507
01:23:26,449 --> 01:23:28,589
- Bowling?
- Bowling.

1508
01:23:28,624 --> 01:23:31,006
You, me, and Mike.

1509
01:23:32,214 --> 01:23:33,525
Okay.

1510
01:23:33,594 --> 01:23:34,768
All right?

1511
01:23:34,802 --> 01:23:35,976
Yeah, let's do it.

1512
01:23:36,011 --> 01:23:37,012
All right.

1513
01:23:38,875 --> 01:23:40,291
Oh, okay.

1514
01:23:45,606 --> 01:23:47,125
- Alex.
- Yes.

1515
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:48,333
Make yourself
useful, will you?

1516
01:23:48,368 --> 01:23:51,198
There's a shipment of back
issues that need placement.

1517
01:23:51,233 --> 01:23:52,268
Anywhere specific?

1518
01:23:58,826 --> 01:24:01,484
Some indie,
some mainstream.

1519
01:24:01,519 --> 01:24:02,485
You'll figure it out.

1520
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:03,866
Okay, cool.

1521
01:24:14,428 --> 01:24:15,843
Hey, Chad, um,

1522
01:24:16,948 --> 01:24:18,881
I actually forgot I have
to call my doctor back.

1523
01:24:18,881 --> 01:24:20,917
You could call in here while
we sort through some stuff.

1524
01:24:20,952 --> 01:24:23,023
It's kind
of a woman's issue,

1525
01:24:23,058 --> 01:24:24,024
if you know what I mean.

1526
01:24:24,024 --> 01:24:25,991
Oh, never mind.
Take it outside.

1527
01:24:26,026 --> 01:24:27,200
Great, thanks.

1528
01:24:36,726 --> 01:24:37,727
Hey, what's up?

1529
01:24:40,730 --> 01:24:41,731
When?

1530
01:24:43,250 --> 01:24:45,425
He must be the one who
burned down my store.

1531
01:24:47,944 --> 01:24:49,014
That son of a bitch.

1532
01:24:50,085 --> 01:24:52,328
Stay where you are, Alex.
I'll be right there.

1533
01:24:56,056 --> 01:24:57,678
Mike, sorry about the--

1534
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:01,234
"Techno Man" rules.

1535
01:25:01,268 --> 01:25:03,270
Ah, your stuff's
in the back. Come on.

1536
01:25:06,031 --> 01:25:07,930
What the hell?

1537
01:25:07,964 --> 01:25:09,863
He must've grabbed
my key. It's not here.

1538
01:25:12,831 --> 01:25:15,455
Hey, by the way, I
quit, you pathetic fuck.

1539
01:25:15,489 --> 01:25:17,250
- What?
- Yeah, bitch.

1540
01:25:17,284 --> 01:25:18,285
What is this?

1541
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,598
Chad Bryant, you're
under arrest for arson-

1542
01:25:20,598 --> 01:25:21,495
- What?
- and forgery

1543
01:25:21,564 --> 01:25:22,427
and attempted murder.

1544
01:25:22,427 --> 01:25:23,325
I didn't
do any of that.

1545
01:25:23,394 --> 01:25:24,291
You have the right
to remain silent.

1546
01:25:24,326 --> 01:25:25,568
- This is crazy.
- Anything you say

1547
01:25:25,603 --> 01:25:27,984
can and will be used against
you in a court of law.

1548
01:25:29,779 --> 01:25:33,093
It's no invisible jet,
but she's got a hemi.

1549
01:25:34,646 --> 01:25:36,959
Sorry, man. I got
a little bogged down.

1550
01:25:36,959 --> 01:25:38,616
Thanks for coming
by to pick these up.

1551
01:25:38,650 --> 01:25:40,411
No worries,
Superbike Mike.

1552
01:25:43,931 --> 01:25:44,898
Oh yeah.

1553
01:25:46,796 --> 01:25:48,626
You know, you really
saved the day, Sean.

1554
01:25:49,765 --> 01:25:51,939
I guess you're actually
a superhero after all.

1555
01:25:53,493 --> 01:25:54,494
Whoo.

1556
01:25:57,669 --> 01:25:58,808
Wait. Wait a second.

1557
01:25:58,808 --> 01:26:01,949
You, you really meant
that, didn't you?

1558
01:26:01,984 --> 01:26:03,365
Most definitely.

1559
01:26:05,539 --> 01:26:08,956
Stay clean, and
stay healthy, citizen.

1560
01:26:11,304 --> 01:26:13,444
Will do.

1561
01:26:15,515 --> 01:26:19,519
Hey, Jerry, 10,000
paid in full.

1562
01:26:26,284 --> 01:26:27,527
What do you think?

1563
01:26:27,561 --> 01:26:29,805
These are amazing.

1564
01:26:29,839 --> 01:26:32,187
Yeah. I'm really
happy with 'em.

1565
01:26:33,153 --> 01:26:34,361
You're really doing it.

1566
01:26:35,673 --> 01:26:37,744
Couldn't have done
it without ya, kid.

1567
01:26:37,813 --> 01:26:39,021
I knew you could do it.

1568
01:26:40,540 --> 01:26:44,371
You know, you, you
taught me so much.

1569
01:26:46,166 --> 01:26:47,892
Um, I kinda feel bad. I...

1570
01:26:47,926 --> 01:26:50,170
You know, you don't need
the website anymore.

1571
01:26:50,170 --> 01:26:51,171
Are you kidding?

1572
01:26:52,207 --> 01:26:57,073
You've given me so much more
than a website. Seriously.

1573
01:26:59,904 --> 01:27:03,735
Actually, um, my dad
and I wanted to invite you

1574
01:27:03,804 --> 01:27:05,841
to go bowling.

1575
01:27:05,841 --> 01:27:07,187
Really? Bowling?

1576
01:27:07,222 --> 01:27:08,430
It is his idea.

1577
01:27:08,499 --> 01:27:11,916
He wants me to,
you know, be active

1578
01:27:11,985 --> 01:27:13,745
and get into sports.

1579
01:27:13,780 --> 01:27:15,091
Bowling's not a sport.

1580
01:27:16,265 --> 01:27:17,232
I'm just kidding.

1581
01:27:17,266 --> 01:27:18,612
Love bowling.

1582
01:27:24,204 --> 01:27:26,068
Come on, Brandon!

1583
01:27:32,730 --> 01:27:33,731
Oh.

1584
01:27:36,734 --> 01:27:39,357
Hey, you know, maybe we
should put up the bumpers.

1585
01:27:41,739 --> 01:27:43,396
- You'll get the hang of it kid.
- That's okay, come on.

1586
01:27:43,430 --> 01:27:45,777
All right, Mike, show
us how it's done. Come on.

1587
01:27:49,402 --> 01:27:51,680
Dan's calling. I
wonder what he wants.

1588
01:27:51,714 --> 01:27:53,026
Excuse me.

1589
01:27:53,060 --> 01:27:54,407
No worries.

1590
01:27:54,407 --> 01:27:56,098
Mike, my man!

1591
01:27:56,098 --> 01:27:58,238
Thanks for getting these
over here so quickly, buddy.

1592
01:27:58,273 --> 01:28:00,585
Yeah, Dan. Uh,
what, what's going on?

1593
01:28:00,585 --> 01:28:03,139
I'm kinda with friends right
now. Can I call you back?

1594
01:28:03,174 --> 01:28:05,556
No problem. Listen, I
will make this really quick.

1595
01:28:05,590 --> 01:28:07,868
Jimmy jumped ship, and
now he's writing for me.

1596
01:28:07,903 --> 01:28:09,076
He left Top Guys.

1597
01:28:09,076 --> 01:28:10,215
He did. He did.

1598
01:28:10,250 --> 01:28:11,493
We're actually
launching a series,

1599
01:28:11,562 --> 01:28:14,392
and that's why I wanted you to
send me over the illustrations.

1600
01:28:14,427 --> 01:28:16,981
Listen, pal, we want
you on the team.

1601
01:28:17,015 --> 01:28:18,948
You are the man.

1602
01:28:18,983 --> 01:28:19,984
I mean, there
are, there are a ton

1603
01:28:20,053 --> 01:28:22,158
of great artists out there, Dan.

1604
01:28:22,227 --> 01:28:23,677
Why choose me?

1605
01:28:23,746 --> 01:28:27,025
Honestly, aside from
your extreme talent, Mike,

1606
01:28:27,094 --> 01:28:30,063
Jimmy said you'd be
hungry and affordable.

1607
01:28:31,754 --> 01:28:33,308
Well, tell him he's not wrong.

1608
01:28:33,342 --> 01:28:34,412
I'd love the chance.

1609
01:28:35,413 --> 01:28:36,828
Thanks for thinking
of me, Danno.

1610
01:28:36,863 --> 01:28:38,623
You got it, buddy.
Hey, congratulations.

1611
01:28:38,658 --> 01:28:40,763
I'll talk to you soon.
Go out and celebrate!

1612
01:28:40,798 --> 01:28:41,799
Will do.

1613
01:28:44,836 --> 01:28:46,182
So, who was it?

1614
01:28:47,632 --> 01:28:50,463
Jimmy and Dan want me
to illustrate for 'em.

1615
01:28:50,497 --> 01:28:52,119
- What?
- Yeah.

1616
01:28:52,154 --> 01:28:53,293
I told you.

1617
01:28:53,328 --> 01:28:54,915
Oh my God, that's so badass.

1618
01:28:54,950 --> 01:28:56,538
Strike! Ha ha!

1619
01:28:56,607 --> 01:28:57,953
- Yeah, Kurt!
- Ha! Ha ha, hey!

1620
01:28:57,987 --> 01:28:59,472
- Boom!
- Yes!

1621
01:28:59,506 --> 01:29:00,990
Dad, Mike just got
offered a job

1622
01:29:01,025 --> 01:29:03,199
illustrating for a comic series.

1623
01:29:04,477 --> 01:29:06,548
Wow, Mike, hey,
that's incredible news.

1624
01:29:06,617 --> 01:29:07,618
Thank you.

1625
01:29:07,652 --> 01:29:09,067
- Thanks.
- Huh? Awesome.

1626
01:29:09,136 --> 01:29:10,828
I think a celebration
is in order.

1627
01:29:10,862 --> 01:29:11,829
I, I think it is.

1628
01:29:11,863 --> 01:29:12,864
- Huh?
- Yeah.

1629
01:29:12,899 --> 01:29:15,902
Hey, don't be sad, kid.

1630
01:29:15,971 --> 01:29:17,490
You'll find another
store to hang out at.

1631
01:29:17,524 --> 01:29:19,492
- Yeah.
- But just remember,

1632
01:29:19,492 --> 01:29:21,183
it's all about the
owner, not the store.

1633
01:29:21,217 --> 01:29:23,358
That's right.
That's right.

1634
01:29:23,392 --> 01:29:24,807
But more importantly,

1635
01:29:24,842 --> 01:29:27,465
- it's about the strike!
- It's about the strike!

1636
01:29:28,328 --> 01:29:29,364
- Whoo!
- Boom!

1637
01:29:29,398 --> 01:29:31,296
- Show us how it's done, Mike.
- All right.

1638
01:29:31,331 --> 01:29:33,160
I'm calling my shot.

1639
01:29:33,195 --> 01:29:35,162
- Strike, baby.
- Strike, Mike.

1640
01:29:41,652 --> 01:29:44,033
- Oh!
- There it is! There it is!

1641
01:29:44,068 --> 01:29:45,380
Did ya see that?

1642
01:30:04,606 --> 01:30:05,572
What's up, Kyle?

1643
01:30:08,610 --> 01:30:10,197
Okay.

1644
01:30:14,754 --> 01:30:16,238
- Hey, buddy.
- Hey.

1645
01:30:16,238 --> 01:30:18,343
I really need those panels
by the end of the day.

1646
01:30:18,378 --> 01:30:20,415
Yeah, of course.
Not a problem.

1647
01:30:20,449 --> 01:30:22,727
Just needed some caffeine.

1648
01:30:22,762 --> 01:30:24,384
- Keep working hard.
- Love you, buddy.

1649
01:30:24,419 --> 01:30:25,592
Love you back.

1650
01:30:30,735 --> 01:30:32,703
Mike. Guess what.

1651
01:30:32,737 --> 01:30:35,568
I got in! I did it.

1652
01:30:35,602 --> 01:30:38,743
That's
great. Congratulations.

1653
01:30:38,778 --> 01:30:41,401
Looks like the kid's following
in your footsteps, Mike.

1654
01:30:41,436 --> 01:30:43,403
I knew you had it in
you, Brandon. All right?

1655
01:30:43,438 --> 01:30:46,130
You just work hard, and
you'll get your chance,

1656
01:30:46,199 --> 01:30:47,234
just like I did.

1657
01:30:48,097 --> 01:30:49,720
Thanks to you, kid.

1658
01:30:49,754 --> 01:30:50,962
Thanks to us.

1659
01:30:50,997 --> 01:30:53,068
Oh, and Brandon, don't forget.
When you graduate,

1660
01:30:53,102 --> 01:30:55,484
Mike and I get first dibs on
your illustrating contract.

1661
01:30:55,553 --> 01:30:56,761
- Oh yeah.
- Okay?

1662
01:30:56,761 --> 01:30:58,142
- No doubt.
- First dibs.

1663
01:30:58,211 --> 01:30:59,384
Okay. Deal.

1664
01:30:59,419 --> 01:31:00,765
Awesome.

1665
01:31:00,765 --> 01:31:02,284
I miss you guys.

1666
01:31:02,284 --> 01:31:04,666
- Yeah, we miss you, too.
- Miss you, too.

1667
01:31:04,735 --> 01:31:06,426
I'm a
huge fan, Mr. DiAngelo.

1668
01:31:06,426 --> 01:31:09,084
Your art and characters
are so amazing.

1669
01:31:09,118 --> 01:31:11,224
They say you're
the next Stan Lee.

1670
01:31:11,258 --> 01:31:13,295
Thanks, man. I
appreciate that.

1671
01:31:14,607 --> 01:31:19,612
The next Stan Lee is currently
a freshman in college.

1672
01:31:19,646 --> 01:31:22,097
Any advice
for an aspiring artist?

1673
01:31:22,097 --> 01:31:23,270
Yeah.

1674
01:31:23,823 --> 01:31:25,445
