We've got you covered, D.Z.
Oh, so it's you. Great, I was hoping for you. - Don't hate Kev or anything.
Kevin baby! My favorite brother!
KevinIt's not me either, D.Z.
So you guys are leaving me hanging?
Kevin
We're not gonna leave you hanging. We promised you a brother, so fresh off the jet from Jersey...
Kevin
Yo, what's up, Frankie?
Kevin
Baby applesauce. Guys, it's just a lot smoother. (Nick put his head down)
So... clears throat) are you any good?
Back home they call me the Frankinator.
(chuckles) Where have you guys been hiding this kid? Let me see you do this. Yeah. Definitely. How long have you been playing?
Kevin
- Here you go, man. I made you breakfast.
Kevin
No problem. Feeling good? Feeling loose?
Feeling awesome. I'm going to be in a movie today.
Kevin
Not just any movie! From the best-selling novel, "Forever April," Comes the major motion picture event Starring my brother Joe.
(chuckles) Dude, no sausage.
Kevin
In a world with no sausage, - One man-- -
--tells his brother to stop talking like that.
Kevin
Oh, yeah. Sorry. Hey, let's practice your lines.
Kevin, we've been practicing all weekend. I'm pretty solid.
Kevin
Okay, then you wouldn't care if I did this-- Scene 36, interior, high school gymnasium, Your character Dade is alone. The ghost April appears. She says, "Dade, you're not safe here. - You have to go."
- I'm not going anywhere without you.
Kevin
- Nailed it!
Kevin
- Now do it backwards.
- You without anywhere going not I'm.
Kevin
You are going to be a great actor.
And you are going to be a great director. Director Kevin?
Kevin
- Yes, actor Joe?
Kevin
- 7:30.
- And what time do I have to be on set?
Kevin
- 7:30.
- So we should probably-- - (he and Kevin are going to leave)
According to this, the set should be... Over there. Or over there. Dude, you're the director. Which direction are we going?
Kevin
Relax, okay? We're a little bit lost, we're a little bit late, but look at this place! We are not in Jersey anymore.
Kevin, I was supposed to be in makeup like yesterday.
Kevin
(laughs) You have to wear makeup. - Ha.
- ( sighs ) There it is. Come on.
Kevin
Chill. We're in hollywood-- nothing starts on time.
You're late. Who said you could be late to a Mona Klein set?
Kevin
- Hi, Ms. Klein, I'm Kevin. I'm Joe's brother. Also a director! - Well, aspiring. But I'm just a big fan.
- Zip it! You sit down while I decide how I'm gonna punish you.
- No kidding. This movie is my big comeback. After "Soccer Squirrels 2: Nuts in New York" - They said I'd never work again.
Well, the critics didn't. But "Forever April" is going to get me back to where I belong. Unless you mess it up, so be on time!
Mona, my yoga class ran over. Sorry I'm late.
Oh sweetie, what's a few minutes? Take all the time that you need. Oh, the face on that one.
Vanessa, how did you get away with that? Mona totally chewed me out for being late.
I have exited Vanessa. I am now April.
Kevin
Joe, this is a technique some actors use to prepare. They become the character even when the cameras aren't rolling.
Kevin
- Play along.
- Yes. April, I can see you.
You're the only mortal I can communicate with and I need - Something.
A bagel-- lightly toasted with the middle scooped out.
Kevin
I'll get it.
Okay, in this scene, Dade goes to the house where April's spirit lives.
- Joe, I need you to play this - Scared, yet tough.
Confident, yet vulnerable.
- I want big big emotion played in a very very small way.
- Okay, on that one how do I--
- Aren't we gonna rehearse?
Rehearse? What is this, your high school play? This is the big time. You're a professional actor and every minute on this set costs money.
Kevin
Excuse me, guys, is everything okay?
Kevin
- I'm Joe's brother. We've actually met.
Yuck, family. No thanks. This is why I have birds. Shoo! Cue effects. Cue music. - ( ballad playing ) - And action!
Why do you keep coming here? Nothing good ever happens in this terrible place.
- I just need to be close to you.
- No, you need to forget me. Try, Dade. Pretend I never existed.
But I can feel you all around. In the silence... I hear line!
Kevin
- The sound of!
- Cut! - Do you not know your lines?
- I do not. I mean, I did. I'm just nervous.
I'm not paying for nervous. Go again. Cue effects. Music! - ( ballad playing ) - and action!
Why do you keep coming here? Nothing good ever happens in this terrible place.
Cut! What's the deal? Everybody take five. You get your act together or you're gonna see my dark side. Okay?
Kevin
You're doing great, bro.
Stop saying that. I'm a mess.
Kevin
- Just try and relax.
- Maybe I just don't belong here.
Kevin
What does this chair say?
Kevin
- yes, exactly. "Joe," not Lou, not Ed, but Joe. They wouldn't give you a chair with your name on it if you didn't belong here.
Kevin
- I'm trying to make a point. You're fine saying the lines with just me.
You don't have a dark side. Mona freaks me out. - What if she fires me?
Kevin
- I won't let that happen.
We gotta go much tighter on Joe. Throw a 75 on, okay?
Kevin
- Hi, Mona.
You just pop up all over the place, don't you?
Kevin
Yeah. I think I figured out what Joe's problem is.
Kevin
- It's you.
Kevin
Yeah, you have a way of saying things that are scary and mean. Joe, on the other hand, likes things that are soft and nice.
Kevin
- If you could give him rewards, Maybe like treats or snacks, that could really help him.
Fascinating. You know, I have a different approach.
Kevin
- Oh, what's that?
Kevin
- No, that's--
Kevin
Hey-- - Hey, we're fine.
Kevin
- We talked. You're all good. (Kevin screams)
Kevin
Come on, guys, I've gotta get back to set. My brother needs me. Guys, come on! - (beeps) - Joe, talk to me.
Dude, why did Mona kick you off the set?
Kevin
Things were said. It's not important. So how you doing?
I am freaking out. You need to get back here.
Picture's up. Where's Joe?
Kevin
- Joe? Joe! (tries to enter the set again but the two officers that took Kevin off the set prevented him from entering)
Kevin
Listen, my brother really needs me. He's back there on set.
EEvie
And I need a three-hour foot massage, followed by a four-hour foot massage. I think we're both gonna be disappointed.
Kevin
Officer Evie-- may I call you Evie? There has to be someone in here you want to talk to. Matt Damon? Usher? Kesha?
EEvie
I don't play like that. You got Will Smith in there?
Kevin
- No.
Kevin
I guess we're stuck. (runs towards the entrance)
EEvie
Oh no, that boy didn't just do that. (groans) I had to wear the big heels today. Boy!
Why do you keep coming here? Nothing good ever happens in this terrible place.
- I just need to be close to you.
- No, you need to forget me. Try, Dade. Pretend I never existed.
Around all you feel can I but. I just said it backwards.
I can feel you all around. I can feel you all around! See, I can say it. (tells Mona)
(sighs) What about a treat? Let me see, what have I got in my pocket here? I've got some mints, a lipstick. I've got the number of the guy I rear-ended this morning.
- I think I'm past treats.
- Okay, so what can we do?
- Maybe you hired the wrong guy.
- I don't make mistakes. I saw you onstage and you were electric! I'm 25 and you made me feel like I'm 12.
- Shh! Joe, you've sang in front of thousands of people And made them feel everything you wanted to. Bring that guy here, all right? Find your inner rock star. You can do it.
Cue effects! Music! And action!
Why do you keep coming here? Nothing good ever happens in this terrible place.
- I just need to be close to you.
- No, you need to forget me. Try, Dade. Pretend I never existed.
And cut! Rock star Joe, welcome to my movie.
Kevin
That's awesome. See that actor? That's my brother.
- That was great. That was amazing! Now do you think you can say your lines As well as you sang them in that song?
- All right, let's go again.
Hey, guys. Do you mind going over tomorrow's lines with me?
Kevin
Actually, man, you rocked it today. I think when it comes to movies, you're a solo act.
- Plus you're banned from the set.
Kevin
- Yeah, that too.
Holla! Oh, best date ever!
Kevin
- Only date ever.
Oh yeah, Andrea was definitely feeling me.
Aww, so you remembered all the stuff I told you about how to act with a girl?
Yeah. Kinda. I sort of blocked you out.
Kevin
Well, can't wait to meet her.
AAndrea
Yo, D.Z., where you at?
Peeps, Andrea; Andrea, peeps.
AAndrea
What up, playas? Yo, we gotta scoot. I promised your moms I'd have you back to casa D.Z. Before curfew.
Okay. We can just jump in the cool bus. Beep beep beep. (beatboxing) Come on.
