WEBVTT 00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:08.000 <v James Franco> Now we are going to recreate a scene from one of my favorite movies: Rebel Without a Cause, starring James Dean and Sal Mineo. 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:15.000 <v James Dean> We were coming right back. I told you. 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.000 <v Sal Mineo> You sure? 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.000 <v James Dean> Sure, I’m sure. 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.000 <v James Dean> Are you cold? It’s warm. Here, my jacket. 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.000 <v James Dean> Hey, now can I have the gun, Plato? 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:36.000 <v James Franco> Somebody’s got to say action. 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:39.500 <v Dave Franco> Action. 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:40.500 <v James Franco> No, you can’t say action. 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:41.500 <v Dave Franco> Why not? 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.000 <v James Franco> You’re not the director. You’re an actor. 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:44.500 <v Dave Franco> Okay. 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.000 <v James Franco> So, somebody else has to say it. 00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:47.000 <v Dave Franco> Okay. 00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:48.000 <v Director> Action. 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.000 <v Dave Franco> Why did you run out on me? 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.000 <v James Franco> We didn’t run out on you. We were coming right back. I told you. 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.000 <v Dave Franco> You sure? 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.000 <v James Franco> Sure, I’m sure. 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.000 <v James Franco> You cold? Here, take my jacket. Here. 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:10.000 <v Dave Franco> Can I keep it? 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.000 <v James Franco> What do you think? Here. 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.000 <v James Franco> You’ve have to sniff it. Like rub it against your face. 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.000 <v Dave Franco> You want me to rub the jacket against my face. 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.000 <v James Franco> Yeah, that’s what he did. 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.000 <v Dave Franco> I’m not gonna rub the jacket against my face. 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.000 <v James Franco> Just rub the jacket against your face and smell it. 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000 <v Dave Franco> Why would I want to smell the jacket and rub it against my face? 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.000 <v James Franco> Because that’s what he did, because he’s in love with James Dean. 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:38.000 <v Dave Franco> That’s, I mean, it’s typical, man. You give me the worst character, again, and you get to be James Dean, of course. Of course, you get to be James Dean. 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.000 <v James Franco> Of course, of course, I get to be James Dean. Who else is going to be James Dean? 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.000 <v Dave Franco> If you’re such a good actor, you can play him and I’ll play James Dean. 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:50.000 <v James Franco> You can’t play James Dean. I’m James Dean. Actors sniff jackets. 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.000 <v Dave Franco> Okay. 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.000 <v James Franco> Actors, act. Actors sniff jackets if they need to sniff jackets. Marlon Brando sniffed jackets. 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.000 <v Dave Franco> Okay. 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.000 <v James Franco> He sniffed pants. 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:57.500 <v Dave Franco> Oh. 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.000 <v James Franco> He did. 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.000 <v Dave Franco> Okay! 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.000 <v James Franco> You’re in Rebel Without a Cause, what’s your cause? Not sniffing jackets? 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.000 <v James Franco> Sniff it. 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.000 <v Dave Franco> You sniff it. 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:09.500 <v James Franco> You sniff it. 00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:10.000 <v Dave Franco> No. 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.000 <v James Franco> Just what I thought. 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:12.000 <v Dave Franco> Okay. 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.000 <v James Franco> You don’t know how to act.
