PETE: Most of the time
when you think history,

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:10,920
you think boring, right?

6
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,480
Ancient civilizations

7
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,400
with names you can't pronounce,
dates, facts...

8
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,640
I mean, who cares?

9
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,040
But sometimes, history can slam
right into the present

10
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,760
and totally blow your mind.

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,080
The first ever movie theater in our town
opened in 1925.

12
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,920
Phantom of the Opera was its first film.

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,160
But times changed.

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,520
Things progressed,
and the old movie theater bit the dust.

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,640
Literally.

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,600
There was a rumor that
one faithful, old moviegoer

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,600
got trapped inside when it went down.

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,440
Some folks even claimed he survived.

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,680
Yeah, right.

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,280
Anyway, a new theater was built
and new movies were shown.

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,520
And all the while, the legend grew.

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,280
Now here I am, 17, working at the theater,
and we still talk about the guy.

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,120
Every time a piece of film breaks
or the lights flicker,

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,600
we instantly blame him.

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,080
Not that I believe in any phantom.

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,760
Truth is, I've got more
important things on my mind.

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,600
That's me. Pete Riley.

28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,880
My mom thinks I work way too hard,
but she really doesn't get it.

29
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:29,000
-Do the counts?
-Yeah.

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,600
I'm the youngest assistant manager
they've ever had

31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,560
at this 26-screen megaplex.

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,680
Hey, we're talking some serious
responsibility here, right?

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,680
Do you know on a typical Saturday night
we have 52 people working,

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,680
sell 88 pounds of popcorn,

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,360
move 7,000 patrons in and out,
and have 63 showings,

36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,640
with an average
of four to six minor technical glitches?

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,880
Whew! That's a lot to
keep track of. Trust me.

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,760
That's our senior manager,
Shawn MacGibbon.

39
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,080
He's freaking out
because our theater owner,

40
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,920
and Shawn's personal idol,
Wolfgang Nedermayer,

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,120
scored like the coup of the century.

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,240
See, a movie called Midnight Mayhem
filmed not too far from here, last spring.

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,120
Nedermayer used his connections
to talk the filmmakers into coming back,

44
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,680
right here to our own Grande Megaplex,

45
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,000
for the big-time Hollywood-style
world premiere.

46
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,440
RICKY: Okay. Stop. Stop.

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,440
We're going to need one of us
on either side and one in back,

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,320
or someone's going to end up
with a major hernia, okay?

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,520
That's Ricky Leary, or as we call him,
Ricky Rules.

50
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,640
No matter what you're doing,
Ricky's got the procedure for it.

51
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,680
You know, once I heard

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,920
these kids were trying
to push something like this,

53
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,920
and it started rolling backwards
and it crushed them.

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,200
And one kid got killed,
and the other ones lost

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,160
a bunch of fingers, toes, and junk.

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,920
That's Terri Tortora,
nicknamed Scary Terri.

57
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,920
She's got a hundred stories to tell,
and all of them end in death

58
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,040
and destruction.

59
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,320
All right. Great, you guys.
Now, go straighten up the snack bar.

60
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,560
This is fantastic. Look what a great job
we're doing, honey.

61
00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:03,040
Aren't we so efficient?

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,200
She's like your grandma in a teenage body.

63
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,520
Calls everybody "sweetie" and "baby."

64
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,600
Always wants to make sure
we're eating enough,

65
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,840
wearing warm enough clothes.

66
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,080
Hey, Mark, could you please sweep down
the carpet for me?

67
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,320
With a broom, you mean?

68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,800
Mark Jefferies, or as I call him,
Question Mark.

69
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,720
You can't say anything to him without
getting a hundred questions in response.

70
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,080
Yeah, with the broom.

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,680
I straightened up the ticket booth,
cleaned both ladies' rooms,

72
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,880
washed the popcorn maker, and swept
inside the elevator. Now what?

73
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,600
Why walk if you can run?

74
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,160
You know what you can do for me?

75
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,720
Head upstairs, make sure that
the trash cans have been emptied,

76
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,920
and then check to see
if that wind machine arrived

77
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,520
for our Hollywood display.

78
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,640
(EXHALES)

79
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,280
Read the presentation criteria
checklist on my booth wall,

80
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,200
and you'd know that
digital soundtrack mis-threading

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,720
is the number one cause
for customer grievances.

82
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,560
That guy?
He's our head projectionist, Merle.

83
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,080
Ask a simple question,
get a way too complicated

84
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,080
technospeak answer in return.

85
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,680
Slow it down, my dear.

86
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:22,360
Life is like a good movie,
every moment should be savored.

87
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,680
PETE: Meet Movie Mason.
He doesn't work here.

88
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,800
He just thinks he does.

89
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,520
It was Mason's family who opened
the original theater on this spot

90
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,760
in the 1920s.

91
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:37,280
Mason loves movies more than anything.

92
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,800
When they tore his place down
to build the megaplex,

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,040
he had a hard time letting go.

94
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,160
My schedule.

95
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,840
So, each week Mason types up
his work schedule,

96
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,200
and each week Shawn files it.

97
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:58,040
Still, Mason shows up every day,
and we're always happy to see him.

98
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:03,040
Anyway, it's not only the premiere
I'm pumped about.

99
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,840
See there's this girl, Caitlin Kerigan,

100
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,760
and I got her and her friend Lisa passes
to an early movie and to the premiere.

101
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:10,880
Not bad, huh?

102
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:17,120
Now you get why tonight everything
has to be totally, 100% perfect.

103
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,280
Whoa!

104
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,280
I cannot stress enough, people,
that on a night as monumental as this one

105
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,280
careers are going to be made
and careers will be broken.

106
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,720
Tonight, as the eyes
of the entertainment world

107
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,000
fall upon our humble megaplex,
what I want them to see is greatness.

108
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,720
Greatness that can only come from you kids

109
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,600
and the rest
of my crack Saturday night team.

110
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,200
To quote Mr. Nedermayer,

111
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:04,120
"It is service that can't be beat
that puts a butt in every seat."

112
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,000
I expect to see the straightest bow ties,

113
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,520
the neatest vests,
the most polished shoes...

114
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,000
Whoa, Shawn, are you sure?

115
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,760
Because once I heard these kids
with really shiny shoes...

116
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,680
No, no, no. (SHUSHING)

117
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,680
Terri, rise to my level, or be gone.

118
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,040
For those of you who do wish
to remain employed,

119
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,360
I expect to see you back here
promptly at 3:00

120
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:26,160
to start your shifts.

121
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,240
3:00 today, you mean?

122
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,880
-No, Mark. 3:00 a year from Tuesday.

125
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,560
Ah, Mr. Nedermayer. You did?

126
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:45,480
I see.

127
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,480
No, no. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

128
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,800
If you feel that your son-in-law

129
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,160
is the best man
for the general manager's job,

130
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,080
that's a decision I will have to respect.

131
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,640
Of course, sir.
We'll see you both, tonight.

132

135
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,160
And we will act like professionals.

136
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,040
Um... On... On all shows,
before the premiere this evening,

137
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,080
we will get the customers in,
get them out,

138
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,400
but always be kind and courteous.

139
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,440
In the words of Mr. Nedermayer,

140
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:40,920
-"A smile at every door..."
-"Keeps them coming back for more."

141
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,440
Yes. Yes.

142
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,520
You're a good man, Pete.

143
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,520
You might go places in this organization.

144
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,520
(WHISPERS) And since Mr. Nedermayer
expects the impossible this evening,

145
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,560
if anything does go wrong,
I'm fully prepared to blame you.

146
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,800
Dismissed!

147
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,200
KAREN: You always do this to me.

148
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,560
You tell me you want me to have a life,
so then I make plans with my friends,

149
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,560
and then suddenly, at the last second,
you say you need me to babysit.

150
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,800
I told you last Monday
I needed you for tonight.

151
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,960

153
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,680
Mom's going out with George tonight.

154
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,760
Oh, think he might finally propose?

155
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,120
Why do you guys keep pushing this?

156
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,080
You and George are great together.
You're always happy when he's around.

157
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,200
KAREN: Oh, yeah.
You know what you should do?

158
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,400
You should be like Gillie Blake
in Always a Bridesmaid.

159
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,360
Tell him how great you look in white,

160
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,520
ask him if he wants to play Old Maid,
and then tell him you'll give him a ring

161
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,440
when you get home.

162
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,280
Does every reference in your life
have to be from a movie?

163
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:02,040
Why shouldn't it be?

164
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,760
You sound exactly like the grouchy old dad
in Blank Screen.

165
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,520
Yeah, well, I just think it would be cool

166
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,960
if every once in a while
you two lived in the real world.

167
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,160
Boring.

168
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:14,000
Now about George...

169
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,720
George will propose
if and when he's ready.

170
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,240
Yeah, but as Dendy Dillon

much longer,

Why can't Pete take him
when he goes to work, tonight?

They won't bother you.
I'll make them promise.

I just don't want them coming up
and making dumb comments and stuff.

Mmm. Pete, you know how those two are.

strictly for the cold, hard cash.

338
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,080
Dude.

339
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,160
My whole life Donny Hollie's been
like some dark shadow.

340
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,040
In school, sports, girls.

341
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:15,800
If I want it, he wants it.

342
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,520
He's the one who usually gets it.

343
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:21,240
Well, does he know that you like
Caitlin, hon?

344
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,880
Think it's just a coincidence
he showed up tonight?

345
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,280
Now I'll be working my buns off,

346
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:28,200
he'll hunt her down,
pour on some of his gross charm...

347
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,600
(SIGHS) I hate Donny.

348
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,080
You know, never worked a day in his life.

349
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,520
All the girls think
he's just so good-looking.

350
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,280
He's has a totally perfect life.

351
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:38,720
But you are so way sweeter, doll.

352
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,520
Since when does that count for anything?

353
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,680
You know, girls like Caitlin
want guys with decent cars,

354
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,240
you know, money to spend on dates.

355
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,520
I'm earning cash just to compete.

MAN: Settle down.

357
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,080
WOMAN 2: This is taking forever.

358
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,320
Hey, Zeke, what's the deal?

359
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,040
Shouldn't Shawn open up another line?

360
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:03,280
There's nobody to man it, man.

361
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:05,360
It's crazy! Workin' my fingers off here.

362
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,480
Not tonight, man.

363
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,760
Whoa, folks. Settle down.

364
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,520
Look, everybody's going
to make it inside, all right?

365
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,800
Eventually.

366
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,280
Young Shawn, when can I expect you

367
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:17,680
to respond to my proposal
about putting a live organ...

368
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,560
Not now, Mason. I'm swamped, okay?

369
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,880
How's it going, men?

370
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,880
You've got to get us some help, boss.
This is weak.

371
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,160
Am I Houdini?

372
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,520
Am I supposed to pull
an employee out of my hat?

373
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,920
Relax, young Shawn.

374
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,120
I would gladly abandon my greater post

375
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,240
to answer the desperate call to arms
to become a ticket taker.

376
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,000
There's only one problem, Mason.

377
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,000
You don't work here. Okay?

378
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,120
Now you tell him.

379
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,480
A man in crisis should not be burdened
by irrelevant details.

380
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,640
So you'd stand here and take tickets
even if I can't pay you?

381
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,640
Shawn, movies are not
about commerce, my friend.

382
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,240
Movies are about magic.

383
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,800
Is that a yes or a no?

384
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,360

hand half the ticket back,

until I have a nervous breakdown.

Hey, Mason.

396
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,440
Hello, son. Enjoy the show.

397
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,320
No, no, I keep this.

Don't leave the theater without him,
and don't talk to strangers.

You have money and my pager number, right?

not crossing the Atlantic in a canoe.

GEORGE: Trust them, Pocahontas.

404
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,760
Hey, they've got this wired.

405
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,680
See, look! George gets it!

Besides, Mom, it's not even dark yet.

407
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,800
Plus, since they hired
those cinema sitters,

408
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,400
we couldn't get away with anything
even if we wanted to.

409
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,000
Well, good. Love you guys.

410
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,720

So, what was that all about?

416
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,760
Nothing. They are genuinely
crazy about you, George,

417
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,440
and you have
no idea how flattered you should be.

Considering the steep cost of
the ticket, friend,

425
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,920
I'm simply hoping to maximize the pleasure
of your moviegoing experience

426
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,480
by telling you that
the film you've selected

427
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,880
is what we in the industry
commonly refer to as a stinker.

428
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,160
Mason, they don't want
to hear your opinion, all right?

429

You're backing the lines up
into next Thursday.

Be that as it may, my boy,
cinema is sacred.

and hard-earned cash.

our tickets and let us in, buddy!

So, what happened?

If we're lucky,
we might get to see a riot.

437
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,480
Movie Mason's a ticket taker,

438
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,480
but he's not letting people
into movies he doesn't like.

439
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,640
Did you see Pete?

440
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,320
No, but something's up, though.

441
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,840
If they've got Mason working,
who knows what's going on?

Glimpses of Genevieve
has been nominated for more awards

443

than all five of last year's

to give it a chance.

You want to give this a chance?

the critic act and let us into our movie!

449
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,360
that the magic of the movies is
a treasure not to be taken lightly.

450
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,280

I, sir, do not appreciate being spoken to
as if I were a canine.

453
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,640
Well, I just heard from Mr. Nedermayer,

who says that you are
an insurance liability waiting to happen,

455
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,240
and he wants you out of here immediately.

00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,560
Save it for someone who cares. Go!

458
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,840

even when I'm not here,

its magic is never far from my heart.

466
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,240
Someday, you'll have to explain to me
how people like you and Mason

467
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,080
can get so worked up about movies.

468
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,520
Maybe it's because we have fun,
Mr. Assistant Manager.

469

Something you obviously can't relate to.

470

Why? Because I'd rather earn a few bucks
than sit in a dark theater daydreaming?

No. Because you're
so locked into achievement mode,

I don't mean to brag,
but since I'm the assistant manager,

By the time I'm 18,
I'll probably be running this place,

563

a new general manager,

679
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:07,480
(STAMMERING) He's outside doing...

680
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,080
Right, premiere stuff.

681
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,320
Yes, sir.

682
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,280
The minute he comes in,
I'll have him call you.

683
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,040
This is way against operating procedure.

684
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,160
Where is Shawn?

685
00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:21,600
Nedermayer's gonna blow a motherboard
if he doesn't hear from him.

686
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:24,240
I think it's scary.
Shawn wouldn't disappear tonight.

687
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,080
Shawn wouldn't disappear ever.

688
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,320
Running this place is his life.

689
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,160
What if the Phantom
of the Megaplex got him?

690
00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:32,480
Don't even joke, okay, hon?

691
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,480
Stuff like that totally creeps me out.

692
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,320
Afraid he'll suck your blood?

693
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,560
Want to hear the latest?

694
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,920
The second Pete got the projector
fixed in Theater 22,

695
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,920
and there's a whole new disaster in 21.

696
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:46,680
Come on, Lacy. Let's go find Shawn.

697
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,600
(WHIMPERS)

698
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,520
PETE: And now, Cut to Black,
our most popular movie,

699
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,080
has the lights going berserk,
and I don't know how to stop it.

700
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,120
I mean, all I know is that the lights
are tied into the same computer program

701
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,400
as the projection system.

702
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,760
Why isn't Merle up here?

703
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,200
Merle the projectionist?

704
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,560
But he's the only one
who showed up here tonight.

705
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,840
How's he supposed to be
in all three booths at once?

706
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,040
He's probably in West 4 getting
a Martian Mountain synced up at 8:15.

707
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,240
Go grab him, Mark.
Tell him it's an emergency.

708
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,600
All right.

709
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,880
How can a whole computer program
go into spontaneous meltdown?

710
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,200
Like I said before, sabotage!

711
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,240
How'd you get up here?

712
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,320
I was in Indian Guides, remember?

713
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,800
I slipped in when Mark slipped out.

714
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,680
I'm only trying to help, okay, Pete?

715
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,560
Okay, well, don't, okay?

716
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,280
I have too much to deal with already.

717
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,960
Man! It's so cool in here!

718
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,440
Let me guess. Karen has absolutely
no clue where you are.

719
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,400
Who cares? I'm telling you,

720
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,800
you need me to help you solve this.
You do!

721
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,560
There's nothing to solve, Brian.

722
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,840
Oh, yeah? How come nobody
in this whole place can find Shawn?

723
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,920
Shawn's still missing?

724
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:15,760
This is really getting weird.
Where could he be?

725
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,520
I heard once there was this multiplex

726
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,480
in like Oregon or "Michigan"
or one of those places,

727
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,960

You mean you still haven't found him?

00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,840
No, no. He came back,
but now he's gone again.

00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,400
Brian. Brian Riley.

please finish your business promptly

00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,800

No tripped trees. I don't know.

Yeah. Platter's in place.

749
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,040
Okay. So I don't have as
much to do around here

750
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,440
since we went into full automation.

751
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,960
Somehow, the powers that be
think that's progress.

Who am I to argue?

753
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,240
But, while I'm underpaid
and under-appreciated,

754
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,560
I'm still numero uno at figuring out
how and why things go wrong.

755
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,720
Okay, Master Merle, enlighten me.

756
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,560
Well, I think the problem here, my friend,

757
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,800
is someone's deliberate attempt
to ruin our big night.

758
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,960
Thank you. I've only been trying
to tell him that for the last hour.

Well, can we straighten it out?

760
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,920
If I can't, nobody can,
but it's gonna take a few minutes.

00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,720
Okay. Well, if you've got everything
under control here,

762
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,000
I'm gonna head downstairs
to prevent a riot.

this total guy in black shot out of
nowhere and ran down the stairs.

he keeps calling for Shawn.

Plus, you know the fog
machine he had delivered

00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,760
so it'd be going off when the guests
arrived for the premiere?

It's okay. George,
do you see those plants?

887
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:55,800
Hanging over there?

888
00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:59,280

Sure. They look great.

to uproot them,

forced blending thing.

It's not just the plants that
you have to think about.

to this turf invasion?

It's not that I'm afraid of re-potting.

tonight since we're so understaffed,

to call the Auto Club?

Oh! This is so frustrating!

1030
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,400
I call the theater, and all I get is
this pre-recorded laundry list of options,

1031
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,400
none of which lead to a human being.

1032
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,680
I call the box office,
and all I get is show times.

1033
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,360
Wait a sec.
Does your beeper have a callback function?

1034

the number should still be in memory.

must be worth a fortune.

Mason can't possibly be the Phantom?

1060
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,640
Of course. Not even a question.

1061
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,440
Okay, then... What about this?

Mason, do you know what's been
going on around here tonight?

1072

Crazy projectors, flashing lights,
indoor tornadoes?

1073
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,200
It's not you, is it?

1074
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,600
You're not the Phantom

1078

When we arrive in this world,
magic is all around us.

1079
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,960
You simply have to see
a baby discover a butterfly

1080
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:03,600
or a toddler splash in the bath
for the first time.

1081
00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:06,280
Yet, as the years pass,

1082
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,800
simple pleasures aren't quite
so simple to find.

1083
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,800
Myths and legends fall away.

1084
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:19,440

card tricks lose their fascination.

1085

True wonder is hard to come by.

1086
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,160
But there's always...

1087
00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:29,640
Magic at the movies.

1088
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:39,280
Pirate ships, bicycles that fly,
angels earn their wings,

1089

beautiful women marry handsome men,
and we all learn...

1090
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:51,000
There's no place like home.

1091
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,760
To destroy that magic,
to shatter those moments,

1092
00:56:54,840 --> 00:57:00,200
to me is a sin so grave
as to be almost incomprehensible.

but I can't find her.

if this is a sick joke or what,

1099
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:31,320
but Shawn's gone again.

-And Nedermayer just called again.
-They should cancel this premiere.

-Mmm-hmm.

anywhere right now.

to pound the life out of Ricky

out of the meteor

and Ricky's telling Donny that...

but I can't give them to you tonight!

01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,920
Like Willie Gaines in The Last Woodcarver?

1190
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,640
Maybe you two guys have
seen way too many movies.

(TRAILER RESTARTS)

1192
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,320
On the other hand, I don't think
it would hurt to check Merle out.

1193
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,840
Hey! What are you doing over there,
Phantom?

1194
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:13,320
Excuse me?

1195
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:14,960
I'm really sorry, Merle.

1196
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,760
My slightly demented little brother
has himself convinced

1197
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:19,400
you're the Phantom of the Megaplex.

1198
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,960
Hey, catch this. He's still got
that creepy trailer playing down there.

1199
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:28,400
No, actually, I'm workin' my buns off
trying to shut the darn thing down.

1200
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,600
What's the problem? I thought you were
a master at all this stuff.

1201
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,920
Brian! You're being really rude!
Now will you cool it?

1202
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,880
The fact is, I don't know
how this trailer got onto my reels,

1203
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,520
and I can't figure out how
it's programmed to keep repeating.

1204
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,120
A likely story.

1205
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,760
Listen, kid. If you don't back off
and give me a chance to sort this out,

1206
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,440
we're not gonna have a premiere,
because I won't be able to run the print!

1207
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,440
Which conveniently
makes you look like a big hero

1208
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:54,640
for getting it all fixed in time!

1209
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:55,760
BOTH: Brian!

1210
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,560
Come on. We got our guy right here.

1211
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,440
Why don't you two wanna
do anything about it?

1212
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,320
-Brian?
-No, listen to me!

1213
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,120
Brian, look!

1214
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:17,240
Whoa! He's real.

1215
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:19,560
Well, duh.

01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:21,800
Come on!

1217
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,120
Okay, so, I was wrong.

1218

Love to stay and help you
fix the computer and everything,

1219
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,360
but I'm pretty sure Pete needs me more.

1220
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,120
Yeah, you really called it, huh, Bri?

1221
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:40,000
Yeah, it's definitely Merle.

1222
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:41,520
Great job. Nobody's home.

1223
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,360

with any brilliant answers.

All right, I surrender.

Maybe you guys
with all your movie knowledge

1227
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,600
do know more about this than I do.

1228
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,080
So, how are we gonna find out
who the Phantom really is?

1229
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:58,960
Okay, we need to apply cinematic logic.

1230
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,000
Is anybody around this place
hooked up to the Internet?

1231
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,720
It's a major megaplex
about to host a major premiere.

1232
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,920
Wouldn't you think that somebody
would pick up a ringing phone?

1233
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,720
He said he'll be done in five minutes.

1234
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,200
George, you don't understand.
I'm never late.

1235
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,480
Those kids must think
I'm in a ditch somewhere.

1236
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,160
If they were worried,
wouldn't they have beeped you?

1237
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:17,680
You're right, they must be dead.

1238
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,920
Why else wouldn't I have heard
from them by now?

1239
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:23,960
I'm really trying to follow this.

1240
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,160
You need to use Shawn's computer why?

1241

Listen, everything

had to do with the movies playing
in the theaters he's attacked.

1243
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,640
Now, if we wanna know what
he's got planned for the premiere,

1244
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,960
we've gotta find out
the plot of Midnight Mayhem.

1245
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,040
Okay, nobody knows that.
That's the whole deal.

1246
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,360
I mean, they've been
keeping the story top secret.

1247
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,600
Isn't he cute when he's naive?

1248
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,120
Ever heard of spoiler sites
on the Internet?

to crash the premiere.

I was blindfolded, handcuffed,
and hung on the door

Well, if the Phantom's
not Movie Mason and it's not Merle,

then we're running out of suspects.

01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,160
is because I still have
a premiere to get underway.

1523
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:22,440
But mark my words!

1524
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:24,760
I intend to ensure that
your life becomes as miserable

1525
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,080
as you've made mine tonight.

1526
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:31,880
Not only are you fired and banned
from these premises for life,

1527
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:37,800
but I'll ensure that you never again work
in any theater in any city in this state!

1528
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,400
Is that clear, McNall?

1529
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:42,160
MacGibbon.

1530
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:45,080
MacGibbon!
For once in your life, get it right!

1531
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:47,280
My name is... Ding!

1532
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:49,440
Shawn MacGibbon,

1533
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:53,200
and I did all this tonight just
so you would finally notice me!

1534
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,560
But you don't care. You've never cared.
(LAUGHS)

1535
01:21:59,440 --> 01:22:02,320
You think Lamonica
will be a better GM than I will?

1536
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:06,760
So be it. But don't come crying to me
when you find out that you're wrong!

1537

(CROWD MURMURING)

1538
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:10,720
Mr. MacGibbon!

1539
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:20,000
You know what I was saying up
on the roof about lightening up a little?

1540
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:21,600
That's a good thing, right?

1541
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:22,880
-Yes!
-Yes!

1542
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:25,240
I'm 17, not 70.

1543
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:26,920
I mean, aren't I supposed to be
enjoying myself?

1544
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:28,080
Totally!

1545
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:29,680
And I know the perfect way
for you to start.

1546
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,920
You can talk Mom into letting
Karen and me stay for the premiere.

1547
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,440
-Will you, Pete? Please?
-Please?

1548
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,160
I'm telling you, it'll write itself.

1549
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:43,960
Phantom of the Megaplex:
The Shawn MacGibbon Story.

1550
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:46,640
You'll come to LA, we'll be partners.

1551
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:50,240
You mean it?

1552
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:51,800
Of course I do!

1553
01:22:53,480 --> 01:22:54,520
Now do me a favor, partner.

1554
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,040
Run and fetch me a hot cup of coffee,
two creams.

1555
01:22:57,160 --> 01:23:00,520
I'll meet you in the show. I love ya!
Love you!

(SIGHS)

1557
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,640
All we need now is
a four-star Hollywood ending.

1558
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:12,040
All right.

1559
01:23:12,440 --> 01:23:13,680
How 'bout this?

1560
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:21,760
Just because a plant is healthy,
alone in its pot,

1561
01:23:22,480 --> 01:23:24,840
that doesn't mean it's entirely happy.

1562
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:37,400
Julie, if you'll have me,

1563
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:41,600
I would really love to become
a part of this amazing family.

1564
01:23:42,480 --> 01:23:46,800
I... Unfortunately,
I don't have a ring yet.

1565
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:50,080
Pardon me, sir.
May I offer you this loaner?

1566
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:57,680
I have a lot of props around
just in case of emergencies.

1567
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:00,560
GEORGE: Julie,

1568
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:03,520
will you marry me?

(MOUTHING)

1570
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:12,200
How can I resist?

(ALL CHEERING)

1572
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,040
Ah! Mr. Riley,

1573
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:29,360
now, with Shawn gone
and Lamonica moving up,

1574
01:24:29,440 --> 01:24:31,840
I'm going to need a new senior manager.

1575
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:35,200
Money, money. Longer hours.
What do you say?

1576
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:37,120
Absolutely, sir. I'd be honored.

1577
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:45,040
But...

1578
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:48,000
I'm afraid I have to turn you down.

1579
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:49,960
Excuse me?

1580
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:52,120
I'm sorry.
I guess what I figured out tonight

1581
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:55,440
is that I need to spend
more time having a life.

1582
01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:02,800
In fact, Mr. Nedermayer,
I'd really like the rest of the night off.

1583
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:04,560
I think I deserve it.

1584
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,400
Oh, you do, do you?

1585
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:12,160
Good! Because I think so, too.
(CHUCKLING)

1586
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,800
Here. Take your girl out
to a lovely breakfast

1587
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,040
after the picture. On me.

1588
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,240
You saved my skin tonight, Riley.

1589
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:24,040
I appreciate it.

1590
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:28,200
All right, everybody,
let's go in and enjoy the show!

1591
01:25:31,480 --> 01:25:33,000
-Ah, Lamonica!
-Yes.

1592
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:34,240
We're gonna use Theater 2.

1593
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:36,600
I want you to run up
to the projection booth and tell Merle.

1594
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:37,720
Okay.

1595
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:42,960
Not that I'm in over my head here,

1596
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:47,120
but where the devil
is the projection booth?

1597
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:55,160
Okay, littles.
Say good night to your brother.

1598
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:56,480
It's time to hit the road.

1599
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:00,720
Actually, Mom, I was thinking

1600
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:02,640
it might be really nice
if you let Brian and Karen

1601
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:04,040
stay for the premiere.

1602
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:05,800
I know it's late, but it's summer.

1603
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:09,000
Tomorrow they can sleep in
as long as they need to.

1604
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:10,480
Besides...

1605
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:15,520
If it wasn't for their detective work,
we probably wouldn't even have a premiere.

1606
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:17,160
What do you say?

1607
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:19,880
Please?

1608
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:21,840
Yeah, come on, Mom. Please?

1609
01:26:23,480 --> 01:26:25,720
You're not afraid they're gonna
cramp your style?

1610
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,000
Are you kidding? We're teaching him style!

1611
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:29,240
Oh!

1612
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:31,680
Sad but true.

1613
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:35,240
Admit it, Mom. We all really
need to be together tonight.

1614
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,640
And what better place
for us than the movies?

1615
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:41,960
GEORGE: He does have a point, hon.

1616
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:45,880
All right, all right, all right.

1617
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:47,840
-We can stay?
-Yes! Come on.

1618
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:49,160
-Yes!
-Let's go.

1619
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:53,680
Enjoy the show, sir. You enjoy the show.

1620
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:55,680
Enjoy the show! (LAUGHS)

1621
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:58,880
Enjoy the show.

1622
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,880
You know, as long as
I've been around this place,

1623
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,920
I never really believed in
the Phantom of the Megaplex.

1624
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:07,400
Now, the Werewolf of the Megaplex...

1625

(GASPS)

1626
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:10,840
That's a different story entirely!
