Nope. Haven't seen
him in a while, actually.

really been as regular

12

since the pandemic, have they?

13
00:03:06.910 --> 00:03:10.500
Yeah, I know. That's 'cause
life is fully downloadable now.

when are we gonna get back

18
00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:21.270
to living life again?

19
00:03:22.305 --> 00:03:23.858
You know, we just need
to remind everyone

20
00:03:23.858 --> 00:03:25.757
that nothing beats
the experience

21
00:03:25.826 --> 00:03:27.862
of browsing a store
full of comics.

22
00:03:29.347 --> 00:03:30.831
Seems like we've got a lot
more indie books this month.

23
00:03:30.865 --> 00:03:32.833
Ah, that's 'cause we did.

24
00:03:32.867 --> 00:03:37.182
I wanna start catering to the
more artistic independent books,

see something new.

26
00:03:39.702 --> 00:03:40.875

really check it out.

I'm good.

30
00:03:46.502 --> 00:03:49.021
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
You know, somewhere out
there is the next Jack Kirby.

33
00:03:55.027 --> 00:03:56.684
Okay.

34
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.238
So where are you going now?

35
00:03:58.272 --> 00:04:00.274

on the kids, Mom.

43
00:04:12.838 --> 00:04:14.012

Well, maybe if you spent
more time playing sports

53
00:04:51.187 --> 00:04:53.741
than reading comics,
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?

289

Move inventory?

290
00:17:28.185 --> 00:17:30.187
Room for the new indie titles?

291
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.

293
00:17:35.744 --> 00:17:37.366

Yeah.

297

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

Where'd Alex go?

372
00:22:25.689 --> 00:22:27.691

tight at the moment.

00:22:27.725 --> 00:22:29.693

a few months ago.

Brandon. Sure.

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.

00:54:18.738 --> 00:54:20.395

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

1269
01:06:22.633 --> 01:06:23.738

♪ Oh, ow

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
