The Image cuts to James Franco and his brother, Dave Franco, in what appears to be a living room. Dave is standing on top of a pet carrier.

James Franco: You are on the glider. Behind you is the greenscreen and that means they can put anything they want behind you.

Dave Franco: Yeah.

James Franco: They want to put you a zoo, you’re flying through the zoo.
