Man whispers: Janice!
Sorry I took so long.
(Softly) It's okay.
I thought you (Unclear).
They sell pizza here.
(Seat creaks)
What's going on? What'd I miss?
I told you, sweetie;
it's a movie, it's called The Audience.
It's pretty self-explanatory.
Okay, okay.
So, they're just sitting there,
they're going to be facing us the whole...
Shh.
I'm not getting this.
Just pay attention; we'll talk about it later.
What's to talk about? They're not doing nothing.
Oh! (Gasps) Did you see that?
No, what? What happened?
That man, he just shifted in his seat.
Totally changes the composition.
(Laughs)
I'm sorry, is that exciting?
It's not trying to be exciting.
It's a serious work that functions
on many different levels.
(Louder) Art? You think this is art?
Shh! Oh, sorry.
(Unclear) this is like some low-budget indie piece of crap.
I bet you this is Canadian.
Yeah? So?
It's good, okay?
Pay attention.
(Cell phone rings)
Honey, you're ringing--
It's coming from the screen.
Come on, I'm bored out of my mind.
Let's go!
Sweetheart, just give it a chance, okay?
Watch. Watch what!?
Shh!
Watch what? Come on, honey, there's just
a bunch of people in the theatre staring at us.
Okay, okay... look at the style,
the technique. There's no technique.
It's pure film, like dogma '95.
It's dog-crap.
It's gritty acting-- There's no acting.
Seamless editing-- So seamless, there's none.
Like the (Unclear).
Oh, come on, not-- no.
Just because there's some vague reference to another film,
that doesn't make this one profound.
Shh! Would you--
I'm watching here, I'm watching here!
Yeah, well, I'm enjoying this, okay?
Are you kidding me? Seriously?
Look, sweetheart, it's profound self-referential comment on
the manifold layers of
the metaphysical temporal existence.
All the world is a movie.
We're the audience, but we're watching an audience.
Maybe another audience is watching them.
Maybe even a different audience
is watching us right now as we speak,
and another one is watching them,
and so on and so on and so on.
Maybe the audience we're watching is
the audience watching us.
There are so many possibilities.
I can't take this, I can't take this.
Shh! Oh, come on!
Please, honey, this is not deep.
You're embarrassing me.
I'm sorry, but this is not deep.
This is self-indulgent. It's pretentious.
It's (Unclear) ***, is what this is.
It's absolutely pointless.
Can you calm down? Oh, come on, honey.
Please, look, there's no story arc,
there's no character, there's no camera moves.
No camera moves! Come on!
I bet you this thing doesn't even have an ending.
Okay, one more complaint from you,
and you're not getting any.
It's not-- Got it?
