Seven Lamb Productions presents Movie Night, Season two, Episode three, Prosecution
Rests. It was Tuesday night and Anderson, Josh and I decided to go
see a movie. Josh, I'll come. Cooper didn't come. He's going
through some shit. Apparently his roommate is kicking him out because his cousin needs
a place to stay. Cooper will be okay. He always manages to find
a way to get by. He wants to stay with me and Daisy for
a while, So I gotta break the news to her soon. You said,
yes, he has nowhere else to go. Good luck with that.
Daisy's gonna be pissed. She's gonna kick your ass. I'll break it to
her gently. I'm thinking of taking her to dinner in a movie Saturday,
like a date. You guys, really don't fuck A friendly dinner and a
movie. That's a date. You Me and Anderson got food and just saw
a movie. I didn't try to fuck you guys. Yeah, she wants
to try out that new Mexican place on Fourth, and she really wants to
see the Invisible Man, hoping that he'll put her in the right spirits to
hear the wrong news. Maybe Daisy will be open to the idea. Then,
what do you think? I think it's ridiculous that they're making another Invisible
Man. I meant about Daisy, I know, But don't you think it's
stupid? Why it's the whole dark universe? I thought that fell through?
Why because the Mummy? Yes, did you see that train Wreck movie with
Amy Schumer? Amy Schumer wasn't in The Mummy, Anderson thought you meant train
Wreck. It was the movie The Mummy, No train Wreck. Why would
I mention that when we're talking Dark Universe. That's why I was confused.
So you didn't see the Mummy, No I did. I saw that and
train Wreck like a double feature. No year's apart. I saw the Mummy.
It was okay. No, it was bad. And now they're making
another Invisible Man. But that part of the Dark Universe, I don't think
so. I think that ended. So one movie in and they call it
quits. That's how bad the Mummy was. I'm with Josh. I thought
it was okay, not as good as the original. You liked the original.
I like Brendan Frasier. That's not the original, But wasn't the new
one based off that, which was based on the thirties version with Karloff.
I thought Karloff was Frankenstein. Karloff was the Mummy in Frankenstein's Monster. Oh
spare me the bullshit. What Frankenstein's Monster. Frankenstein was the scientist, So
what like it matters? Most people recognize the monster as Frankenstein. That doesn't
make them right. I recognize Kelly as a know it all, Brett,
Does that make me right in this case? Aren't you arguing that you are?
No? Because everyone else seems to recognize her as a decent person.
So everyone else is wrong recognizing Kelly as a decent person, right, just
like everyone else is wrong recognizing Frankenstein's monster is Frankenstein. I think my girlfriend's
a decent person. You should you sleep with her. I think she's a
decent person too, Brad. But you also think Frankenstein's monster is Frankenstein,
so your opinion is invalid. So Karlov played two monsters and Legosi played Dracula.
Who played the Invisible Man? I believe it was Claude Rains. I
thought Claude Rains was in The Wolfman. He was not as the Invisible Man,
No, as a different character. The Universal Monster films had several crossovers
with actors who played the wolf Man. That was Lon Cheney, right junior,
who was long Cheney senior to his father. No shit, but was
he famous maybe during the Silent era. I've heard the new Invisible Man is
actually getting good reviews. Boll I'm serious. They need to stop with the
remakes. Remakes aren't anything new? Yeah, that's why I hate him?
I mean, remakes have been happening since the Silent era. Ben Her is
a remake. John Carpenter's The Thing is a remake. Scarface is a remake.
What do you think is the best remake of all time? No,
just since movies had been around the thing by far, I say the flaw
Josh Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I like how all our picks are sci
fi horror. What does that say? Sci Fi and horror lend themselves to
good remakes. There you go. What that's why we're getting another invisible man.
Well, you and Daisy can have your little date night and let me
know what you think. I can tell you right now what I think?
What's that? I think Daisy is going to kick my ass? What the
hell is this? Hello, Brad? Whereas where's that lowdown, double crossing
son of a bitch? Are you talking about an ex boyfriend of mine?
I'm talking about the one you're living with. What did Josh do? Get
him in here and you'll find out. Well, don't hurt him too much.
He's taking me out Saturday. Yeah, I heard about your non date
date, Josh, You son of a bitch. Seriously, what did Josh
do? Yeah? What did Josh do? You? Son of a bitch?
Oh Jesus, is this about Megan? Yeah? What the hell dude?
You heard me and Kelly talk about it. Oh, the date?
But I thought that was Kelly fucking with me and it wasn't. No.
Kelly texting me today to tell me that you went out with Megan last night
was Kelly fucking with me. I think everything Kelly says do you can be
classified as fucking with you. Dude. You and Megan didn't even go out
out. We went out, but not out out. We went outside,
so and to a restaurant. Once that's out, but it's not out out.
What the hell does that mean? I think it means it wasn't a
full date. No, it means it wasn't da teen. It was a
date singular, not dating. So what now you guys are going out?
It was just one date for you? Yeah so far? Yeah, who
knows? So you're dating? I just said it was a single date.
They're not going out out, but we're planning on another. Well, now
I want to punch you out out. Oh come on, really, did
you even like Megan that much? She was Kelly's friend and you talked about
her whenever Kelly was around. That was to save face. Oh that's cute.
Brad wants to save his face. Well I want to save face too,
in front of Daisy no his own. Yeah, I don't want you
to punch me out out? Then stop seeing her. Why you guys didn't
work out? And Kelly thinks we're a good match and me and Megan had
fun together? Fine, Josh, Fine, Brad, I'm going to invite
you over for a game. It's fine, that's how you want to play
it. Fine. Did you seriously stop by here just to yell at me?
That could have been done over text. I was in the area,
and you know I don't like fighting over text. People don't take me seriously.
Why Brad uses emojis? You can't use emojis when having a serious fight.
I want people to see how angry I am. He likes a little
angry red face most you're better off snapping a photo of your actual face and
sending that. I don't know. I don't think I would take that seriously
either. You just wait, Josh, you just wait. I don't know
how, but I'm gonna get you back. Wait, Brad, will you
be a movie night Friday. You know I will asshole. So anyway,
I'm fine now, like actually fine or passively aggressive fine, passive aggressively passively
aggressively actual, Daisy actual? So the whiskey sour? Your mate? Are
you asking me if I'm soured? I feel some anger coming from the way
you star. I'm okay, Daisy? Where is Josh? He'll be back
soon, he ran to the corner store. I'll get it. I was
actually still pretty upset about the Megan thing, but I didn't want Daisy to
know. If I got too crazy, she might retract her game night invitation.
Hey, guys, Kelly and Anderson came in. Anderson had a DVD
in his hand. A DVD. Really, it's his pick? Deal with
the Pixels? I mean, why don't we just watch on LaserDisc? Tarantino
watches films on LaserDisc. Well, Tarantino is masterclass, Anderson is lower class.
And Brad, you have no class? Anderson? Does Kelly always fight
your battles? Oh that's right, because when you fight your battles, you
lose. No, that's when I fight Kelly's battles. So you admit defeat.
Enjoy the Pixels today, Brad. Okay, So Daisy, get this.
Anderson's cousin wants to stay with us for two weeks. So see Wait
which cousin short arms or mohawk? Neither? I'm talking thick eyebrows. Henry,
Wait, isn't he the one who stole a hundred dollars from Christine's place
two hundred oh during that New Year's Eve party? First off, it wasn't
him. Secondly, it was like four years ago. It seems like the
second thing you said is trying to justify the first. Anderson truly believes that
Henry didn't take the money. Did you ever ask him? No? Yes?
And what did he say? What the hell do you think he said?
Brad? If he said he yes, we wouldn't be talking about it.
He could lie, That's what we all believe. But he didn't take
the money. I asked him several times. He wouldn't do something like that.
This is the same guy who's snuck into a zoo and tried to steal
a lemur. Liberate what liberate a lemur? It was one of those small
private zoos and they kept the thing in a tiny cage. So he's an
animal rights activist? Or is it strictly lemurs. Maybe he tried to liberate
other animals, but I only know the lemur liberating lemurs. Wasn't that the
presidential slogan of Andre Rohalina, who the president of Madagascar. You just looked
that up on your phone, didn't you. I needed it for the joke.
Cute. He didn't take the money, No, it just happened to
disappear after you went upstairs and went to the bathroom. Someone else could have
taken it. And obviously, Kelly, you're worried about your things. I
don't know what he'll take. I have a lot of expensive jewelry. What
is this to catch a thief? Would that make you carry grant? Because
you're not carry grant. He's my carry grant. You're only saying that because
you want to be Grace Kelly, and you are not Grace Kelly. There's
also a possibility that you come home to a Lemur in your house. The
Lemur thing never came to Fruisham. Anderson has been spending the last couple of
nights re enacting the Night of the Party. Is it like watching Hamlet or
whose line? It's more like watching mister magoo Hey guys. Hey, Josh
and Cooper came in, each carrying six packs. There's the backstabber himself.
Oh that's right. How is the date good? But did you have to
tell Brad so soon? I told him the moment after it happened. I
feed on his despair. I'm out of despair now? Is that so?
No despair? Only comfort? I smirked, which I can tell made Josh
uneasy. Comfort and what I can't say just yet, but you'll see,
Brad. Do you not do anything crazy? I already had something planned,
but when I saw Josh's eyes dart over to Daisy and Cooper, I realized
what he thought I planned on doing. He thought I was going to tell
Daisy about Cooper moving in before their non date date. I could have some
fun with this. Don't worry, Josh. I won't reveal any secrets.
Secrets, Brad, Josh, relax. You and I had our issues,
but I'm only here to watch a movie. It's not like I'm moving in,
Brad. I don't know what's going on. But Josh, do you
remember Henry Anderson's cousin mohawk or short arms, big eyebrows, thick eyebrows?
Oh yeah, the guy who stole a hundred bucks from Christine two hundred He
didn't. Yeah he did. I saw him do it? You did?
Bull? Oh? No? Wait no I heard he did it. Wait
so you heard he did or you saw he did. Those are drastically different
things. They are, and this guy could potentially be selected for jury duty.
So hold up. Everyone here thinks he stole the money. Everyone but
Anderson nodded. So I'm the only one sticking up for what's right. I
don't think you're right, and I don't want him staying with us. That's
it. Move move. What are you doing, Anderson? I think he's
making room for one of his reenactments. I'll make some popcorn. We're gonna
put this back when we're done playing Extreme homemakeover right. I thought you'd be
happy. You've never liked the stadium seating. Yeah, but I don't think
Anderson has the eye or taste to make it better. You know who has
good taste, Cooper? Thanks man, Brad? What is going on?
Nothing? Hurry up, Inspector Clusou. There we go. This is the
living room. Wasn't this always the living room? No? This is Christine's
living room. How do you remember it was so long ago. Henry used
the upstairs bathroom at precisely eleven fifty. How do you know that, he
says, because he looked at his watch. That was when everybody was making
their way to the living room to watch the ball drop. It was after
we got our champagne. Okay, I'm convinced, convinced of what the living
room. I'm convinced that Henry didn't take the money really that fast. Yeah,
you know, the room lay out, and he went to the bathroom.
But I haven't even got to the interesting stuff yet. That was interesting.
Well, I'd like to hear more me too. Continue Anderson. You
guys are judging Henry on his character, not on the facts, not on
the evidence. What evidence. He was one of the only people to go
upstairs. I went upstairs. Are you saying you sold the money? No,
I'm saying he wasn't the only one upstairs. I said, one of
the people to go upstairs, not the only person. Henry went upstairs at
precisely eleven fifty. At that point everyone went into the living room. I
even saw him walking upstairs. Me too. I remember that he walked upstairs
and to the left. Ha, what to the left. Anyone who's anyone
who's been upstairs knows the bathroom is to the right. Huh is that true?
It is so he doubles back, but he wouldn't. The stairs can
be seen from the living room. Anyone watching the TV, which was everyone
would have seen him. Not if everyone's actually watching the screen looking into my
eyes. Brad, No, thanks, I got popcorn. Leave it.
It's a test, Brad fine. I stared at Anderson into his unblinking green
eyes. Okay, this is fucking awkward. Now, Kelly walk. This
is a way to prove I have peripheral vision and no blind spots like a
horse. Not like a horse, but horses have peripheral vision. A lot
of animals do, Cooper, but horses also have blind spots like cars.
You saw Kelly walk behind me, right, Yes, someone would have seen
Henry too. Anderson, you're basing it on the fact that everyone was already
staring at the screen, when in fact people were moving to the living room
at the time getting settled. Not everyone was focused on the screen or even
facing that way. Point counterpoint. I think this may be the only time
we've seen eye to eyebrod. I don't like siding with the enemy. But
when the debate is this stupid, it's hard not to I don't know.
He makes a compelling argument, Josh, he converted you. He makes a
good case, unlike the Catholics. So now it's three verses three What verses?
You guys are supposed to back me up? I don't want a lemur.
Someone would have saw him. Anderson's right, not if people were getting
settled. Don't eat all that it's my popcorn. Doesn't mean you have to
be a selfish glutton. Isn't that redundant? A glutton is an excessive eater,
not a selfish one. But if he's eating everything, doesn't that make
him selfish? Not if it's his food? Thank you to shut up about
my popcorn? A glutton? What Anderson? Kelly claimed Henry was a glutton
that night because he ate so many hot wings. I thought people didn't like
to eat glutton anymore. Gluten coop, you're thinking of gluten? Wait?
Isn't that one of the seven deadly sins? Yes, along with pride,
lust and saturated fat. What's your point about the wings? Anderson? Yes,
enlighten them. So many hot wings throughout the night that his stomach began
to feel upset. What a weird way of phrasing that he needed to use
the bathroom and wanted to before the ball drop. Kelly, you're still waiting
for Anderson's balls to drop, eh, just listen before I vote you off
my side. Henry had to take a shit. The bathroom downstairs was occupied.
I think that was me. I drink a lot of champagne then night
before the ball drop, before, during, in after, I'd just like
to taste champagne. I don't always need to celebrate, So he rushed upstairs
to let one loose. Isn't it bad etiquette to drop a deuce in someone
else's home? When you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta be
careful. That's how that lawyer died in Jurassic Park. So what's the point
of him having to take a shit? Henry was back downstairs right before the
ball drop, which gives him a total of ten minutes to go upstairs,
drop a load, run across the hall into Christine's room, find and steal
her money, and make it back downstairs to pour a glass of champagne for
the countdown. That is true, Dazy, no think about it, Kelly.
He would have had to search for the money too, and that's not
enough time. I got a side with Anderson on this one. I think
Henry's innocence, Well, someone had to take the money. I'm not here
to prove who did. I'm here to prove my cousin's innocence. I thought
you were here for movie night that too. I think the problem is we're
taking Henry at his word. How do we know he went number two because
I went to the bathroom after him after the ball drop, and I can
assure you he did. The only thing my cousin is guilty of is clogging
Christine's toilet. I still think you can make it across the hall in time
without being seen. It is exactly twenty four feet from Christine's bathroom to her
bedroom. How do you know that? Oh, he went to Christine's on
Tuesday and measured it. She let you. I was dropping off being Goods
for a party. Anderson tagged along. I said I had to use the
bathroom while Kelly kept her busy, kept her busy. I was literally just
talking to her. I had no idea he was upstairs measuring her hallway.
How is Christine? She's good? Okay? So twenty four feet. You
think that's too far, that's a long walk. And then he has to
find the money. It was in her bedside table. That's the first place
you look for money in someone's room, money, vibrators and condoms. She
wouldn't have that other stuff. She's a strict Roman Catholic. Oh, I
know she tried to convert me. Didn't fall for it. Stay strong,
Josh. I still say he could have found it and made his way back
in time. The math doesn't add up. I've timed it, timed.
What the shit? I've ran some tests, shit tests, yes, and
I did research well. The average person only takes twelve seconds to complete a
bow movement. Men normally spend much longer during this period. A quick Google
search shows that men spend roughly one hour and forty five minutes a week going
to the toilet. That's one hundred and five minutes at the toilet. Why
are we doing this? By seven and it comes out to fifteen minutes a
day. Take into account that the average person pas conservatively about eight times a
day, and if pe average is about thirty seconds long, that leaves eleven
minutes for number two. Even if you were to cut that in half,
Although why would you After Henry's eating a glutton's worth of hot wings, that
would only leave a few minutes for him to wipe, wash his hands,
sneak down the hall, find the money, and make his way back downstairs
and over to a glass of champagne. Now do you believe me? I
do what? I spend a lot of time on the toilet. Odds are
if he's taken a shit, he's playing on his phone, which would add
minutes precisely. Well, this is ridiculous and there's no way he's innocent.
Let's take a vote. Who believes Henry is innocent? Hi? Just raise
your hands? Everyone but Kelly jokingly raise their hands. What's the matter with
you? Guys? You know he's guilty. We can't let him slip through
our fingers. This happened four years ago, and now all of a sudden,
after ten minutes of monologuing, you're changing sides. Henry is a monster,
a thief not only of money, but of lemurs. He never stole
a lemur. He tried to calm down Lee J. Cobb. Of course
you would turn so easily. I really stuck it out, though I am
so tired of this nonsense. Maybe the prosecution should rest. The real reason
Kelly doesn't want Henry staying with us is not because of Henry himself or the
false accusations. It's because she doesn't trust her own cousin, Kelly. Is
that true. I don't know what he's talking about. Oh no, I've
heard on multiple occasions of Kelly's own cousin, Michelle, a thief, as
you will, someone who consistently tortured Kelly at sleepovers, stealing dolls, ear
rings, bracelets, and makeup. Cousins are the worst. This is preposterous,
is it? You misplace your insecurities because you refuse to acknowledge that I
speak the truth and she can't handle the truth. Different movie, coop,
Oh we're doing something right now. Yeah, I've never seeing Anderson this amped
up. Fine, Fine, you're right. I don't trust my cousin.
I don't trust any of my cousins, well, second cousins. They all
must feel removed enough to stab me in the back. So you're right,
Anderson, The evidence doesn't add up. I don't he stole the money?
Happy and there we have it. Well that was fun for a brief time.
What movie are we watching again twelve angry man? Oh Jack Lemmon,
No, no remakes, this is the original. Can we move all of
the furniture back now? As everyone moved the couches, I made another drink.
Then everyone got their snacks while Anderson set up the movie. I wonder
who actually took the money. Then maybe Christine made it up. She would
never who else would have taken it? Maybe Ron? Ron? Who's wrong?
Yeah? Ron? Repeating the name does not help me understand. Wasn't
Ron the one with a sleeve of tattoos? Yeah? Christine's cousin from Marilyn.
Wait, why would you think it was Ron? Coop? Because I
saw him go upstairs into Christine's room when everyone was leaving. What are you
serious? And when he came downstairs, he told me he had enough money
to buy a PS four. Now it could have been him, Cooper,
How can you be so dense? We see Kelly Well, I did say
you can't trust cousins, other people's cousins, not Henry. Just start the
movie. So you guys really think it was Ron? Yes? Cooper,
Cheese, get used to that Daisy to what? Oh? Fine, you
know what? Brad Here Cooper is getting kicked out of his place and need
somewhere to stay, and I offered our place. What just for a little
bit? Wait, when were you going to tell me this? I thought
maybe a nice dinner in a movie would soften the blow. So your invitation
out Saturday was to cover for Cooper's invitation, and I appreciate it. Daisy.
I promise I won't eat your yogurt. Josh. We're gonna talk about
this later. Yikes. Well there you go, Brad, happy we're even
now. Except I never planned on telling Daisy. You said you were going
to get me back. I am, but that wasn't it. Then?
What what do you have planned for me? Brad? Brad? Tell me,
Brad? Then you said you were gonna get me back. The movie
