0:15Director: What the... Are you kidding me?
0:19Get out! Get out!
0:26Darlene: Just do what he says.
0:29Ginger: Yeah, I know. How many years have I been doing this?
0:32Darlene: I know, but...
0:39Jeffrey.
0:41Jeff: It's the United International Top Model Contest.
0:47Darlene: This is Darlene.
0:51Uh-huh.
0:56O-oh, okay, thank you.
1:06You're in! You're in the Top Model Competition!
1:09(giggles) I'm so happy!
1:12Director: Can we get the model on set please!
1:18Darlene: Go, go go!
1:24You're in it too. (chuckles)
1:27Director: Take your position on the starting line.
1:34Tilt your head up, breasts out. Smile.
1:39Okay, you're running a race. Go.
1:43Stop, stop! Look where you are.
1:47Back at the starting line, and this time, stay in your lane!
1:51(strolling music)
1:56Head up, tuck your fanny in. Smile. Run!
2:03Okay, and back to the top.
2:10Yay.
2:12Bring the right shoulder up a bit more.
2:16Now look sultry.
2:32(indistinct shouting)
2:35Ginger: Aren't you glad we moved to the beach?
2:43Darlene: You have your trainer this afternoon.
2:51Where are you going?
2:54Ginger: To the gym.
2:58Darlene: On the skates?
2:59Ginger: Mhm.
3:03Darlene: You know if you injure yourself you're going to
3:04wreck your opportunity for the Top Model competition.
3:07Ginger: (gasps) No.
3:09(giggles)
3:13Darlene: Darling, this is your big break.
3:19I want you to do your best.
3:22Ginger: I know, I will. I'll be careful.
3:25I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself.
3:28You've got to let me live, woman. Move.
3:31Darlene: While I'm managing you you'll do as I say.
3:34Ginger: While I'm managing you you'll do as I say.
3:37Bye.
3:39(adventurous music)
4:21(indistinct chatter)
4:32Man: [Get] legal, get high.
4:49Ginger: Hi.
4:51Madonna: I'm just about to start a show.
4:52Ginger: Cool.
4:53Madonna: Good morning.
4:55Chaos: Hey, hello hello.
4:58You need help with your plumbing?
5:00Ginger: No. (scoffs)
5:03You're in for a treat, Madonna is one of the best.
5:06Madonna: Oh, whatever.
5:07Chaos: Oh, touchy. I guess I better
5:09let you get on with it then.
5:11My name's Chaos.
5:13Ginger: Ginger.
5:16Madonna: Ginger, if you could just take a couple
5:19steps back you can help me build a crowd.
5:21Ginger: Over...
5:22Madonna: Yep, just take a couple steps back right there.
5:25Madonna: Hello everyone.
5:26I'm Madonna, and I'm about to start a show.
5:31For the start I'm just going to need two volunteers.
5:33Only two, I know it's early in our relationship to ask.
5:36I'm going to need a man, and a woman. Anyone?
5:43You there, come over here! Come on, come on!
5:46Stand. Oh my!
5:49Let's give a hand for our first volunteer, shall we?
5:52(excited yelling) Fabulous!
5:56Let's see. And maybe we can get
5:57a man [unintelligible] with the lady.
6:01Maybe a man-(gasps) There you are!
6:05Oh, he's fabulous.
6:07Just for a minute, it will be a lot of fun.
6:11Ah, give it up for our second volunteer!
6:14(applause)
6:16Come on, come on. Bravo.
6:20I'm going to give you a little bit of
6:22costume because obviously this is not enough.
6:27Here, and here.
6:35Take this, now let's put this on.
6:38Come on, give them a hand, help them out.
6:40They're doing a great job!
6:42[unintelligible]
6:44He looks like he's never put on a tutu before.
6:48Let's go, let's go, let's go.
6:53My ballerinas, they're fabulous.
6:57Oh yes, don't they look wonderful?
7:00Now can get get a little bit of a dance?
7:03Just a spin, just a spin.
7:05Come on, a little spin.
7:09(squeals) Very nice.
7:12Do you two know each other, do you know each other?
7:15No? Have you ever met this man before in your life?
7:19I want you to give each other a little high five, can we?
7:21High five.
7:24Yes, yes! Now a little handshake, maybe?
7:29A little handshake? Come on.
7:32Yes, fabulous, fabulous!
7:35Maybe just a little hug, just a little hug.
7:38Woman: I don't think so. Sorry, we're not doing that.
7:40Sorry about that. I'm sorry.
7:43Madonna: Oh no. Well that's not-
7:48That's not going to work.
7:51Thank you all so much for your time,
7:52you've been a wonderful audience.
7:54My name's Madonna, that's my show for the day.
7:56I want to start again when we get a bit more people.
7:59If you'd like to show your appreciation
8:01you can drop a coin in the hat.
8:13Oh, thank you.
8:18(frustrated purring)
8:24Chaos: I just want to say-(Madonna groans)
8:28TC: Hey sexy.
8:30Madonna: Oh, hey. You still alive?
8:33TC: Just barely.
8:35What's up brother?
8:36Chaos: Crazy as usual.
8:40Madonna: Oh, thank you. (smooching)
8:49I don't know what's going on with my show.
8:52Chaos: Well you've got it on video
8:53so you can see what went wrong.
8:54Madonna: I know what went wrong.
8:56Chaos: All right, it's not the end of the world.
8:58It was just an unfortunate choice of volunteer.
9:03Not you, you were fine.
9:07You made the right choice to bail.
9:08TC: I don't know, maybe.
9:10I feel like you could have rescued that one.
9:13Madonna: Well sure, but then I would have had
9:13less audience and less money in the hat.
9:16TC: You don't know that.
9:17But that's normally what happens
9:19because you're stuck in your routine.
9:26Madonna: Maybe you're right.
9:27TC: Of course I'm right.
9:29Madonna: Next time I need to take my time and play
9:31with the audience more before I pick a volunteer.
9:35TC: All right, who's up?
9:38Chaos: It's me, I'm up. It's me.
9:50Can I borrow your camera?
9:52Madonna: Ooh, yeah.
9:55Chaos: Yes, thank you.
10:03(electronic dance music)
10:29Yes, this is a show, and I'm going to be starting just
10:32as soon as I finish setting my stage and warm up.
11:04(squealing)
11:10(rattling)
11:14Madonna: How are you? I haven't seen you in a while.
11:17TC: I just did Paris for the first time.
11:19Madonna: I know! How was it?
11:21TC: Are you kidding? It was fantastic, it's awesome.
11:24I've got my show really working out.
11:26Madonna: Nice.
11:27Ginger: That's really funny.
11:30You guys are pretty lucky,
11:32just traveling around the world, having fun.
11:36Madonna: Well you could too, there's nothing stopping you.
11:39Ginger: No, I could never do that.
11:41Madonna: Why?
11:44Ginger: I'm just not that kind of person.
11:57Madonna: I wasn't that kind of person either.
12:01Ginger: I don't have a show.
12:04Madonna: You just start, and you learn as you go along.
12:10TC: Want to know the secret of how to do it?
12:12Just let it be easy.
12:14Ginger: There has to be a little more to it than that.
12:16TC: Nope. It's all about surrendering to the flow,
12:20and building up to a climax.
12:25Madonna: He always uses the same line.
12:27Ginger: Um. Thank you for the explanation.
12:31But I don't think I'm any the wiser.
12:34Madonna: We're always learning.
12:36I mean, you saw my last show.
12:37You can't wait until you know everything to start.
12:43Or you can take workshops.
12:45Chaos does an evening class.
12:48TC: You don't need workshops.
13:06(laughing)
13:10Madonna: Keep it, it looks good on you.
13:15(laughing)
13:26Oh-hoh, fail.
13:30Chaos: Here's your camera.
13:31Madonna: Thank you.
13:32Chaos: (repeating) Thank you. Madonna: No, thank you.
13:38Chaos: Okay.
13:39Madonna: I'm going to get some coffee.
13:41Does anybody need anything?
13:42Chaos: Oh, yes. Get me a water please.
13:49Madonna: Thank you. (squeaks)
13:56Ginger: That was great, you were really funny.
14:00Very inspiring.
14:03TC: She's a clown convert.
14:05(clears throat)
14:10Chaos: That simple, is it?
14:13I bet you think clowns all about making people laugh.
14:19Ginger: Yes.
14:22Chaos: What's the difference from comedy then?
14:23Comedy's about being real, in the moment,
14:26without all the pretenses we normally defend ourselves with.
14:30That guy, for example, the one that got
14:31dragged out of Madonna's show by his girlfriend?
14:34They shared some intimate information about themselves and
14:37their relationship, which people can relate to, so they laugh.
14:43But that laughter is just footprints
14:44in the sand, after, like spirits.
14:51Ginger: (scoffs) You're deep.
14:55Chaos: As a clown you don't just learn about yourself,
14:57you learn about all the other people in the world.
14:59And you know something? They're all different.
15:01Billions of them, all different,
15:04all busy trying to tell their story, if you listen.
15:14Ginger: You don't think I'm listening?
15:18Chaos: I don't even think you're listening to yourself.
15:21Ginger: TC said to just let it be easy.
15:25You make me terrified of even trying it.
15:28Chaos: [unintelligible].
15:30Clown. Here you are, being real in the moment.
15:35Is that something you normally do?
15:37Ginger: I try to.
15:41Sometimes I do.
15:43You know, most of the time.
15:49You know what? You don't even know anything about me.
16:01Chaos: I'd say you still live at home.
16:03Probably just your mother. She's your overbearing side.
16:06You work occasionally, probably as a model.
16:09You have [clown bells] in your room.
16:11And you're desperately seeking a real relationship.
16:16Ginger: No.
16:18Chaos: What part isn't true?
16:22Ginger: I'm not desperately seeking anything.
16:26Chaos: Now that's the part I know is true.
16:28Ginger: How?
16:30Chaos: Because here you are,
16:31having an intimate conversation with a complete stranger.
16:38Madonna: Hey, take it easy on her.
16:43She's thinking about taking your workshops.
16:47Chaos: Oh, well that's a complete different story.
16:51In that case, you'd of course
16:54(paper crumpling) be most welcome.
17:36Darlene: Good, you're home.
17:39How did it go?
17:41Ginger: Very refreshing.
17:43Darlene: You need to change, we have that sponsorship party.
17:46Ginger: I have a class I want to go to.
17:48Darlene: I'm sorry, we have to go.
17:52Ginger: I hate those things.
17:56Can't drink, I don't know anyone, and they're always old.
18:00Darlene: Well I need you. You're the one they sponsor.
18:04Ginger: It's not like I see any of that money anyway.
18:07Darlene: You know it goes into a trust. You get an allowance.
18:14Jeffrey will be by in a few minutes.
18:17Ginger: Jeffrey. Why do you always
18:18hire these young men assistants?
18:20Darlene: I do it for you.
18:22Ginger: (chuckles) For me?
18:23Darlene: Mhm.
18:25You find Jeffrey attractive don't you?
18:27Ginger: Mom!
18:28Darlene: Oh come on, you've got to start dating.
18:30We took a vow of chastity but it doesn't
18:32mean we can't go out and have any fun.
18:34Ginger: Oh my God.
18:39(tense music)
18:45Chaos: Okay no hands, no hands.
18:59(applause)
19:07You're late, and a little overdressed.
19:10Ginger: Oh, yeah.
19:11I had to go to one of my sponsor's parties, sorry.
19:14Chaos: Well, it's a hard life for some of us.
19:17Ginger: Actually very boring.
19:19Chaos: Do you have anything else you can change into?
19:21Ginger: Yeah.
19:23Chaos: Okay.
19:28Um, Clara.
19:32(squawking)
19:36(applause)
19:44Clara that was very good.
19:49Class this is Ginger. Ginger, class.
19:55I'm not going to lie, since you came in late you're
19:57going to kind of have to jump into the unknown.
20:02Your structure is move abnormally,
20:05and touch the object on stage with your body.
20:09And you don't know what it is.
20:12Ginger: It's a head of lettuce.
20:16Chaos: No, you don't know what it is.
20:20Ginger: I'm sorry, I have no idea what you want me to do.
20:23Chaos: Perfect, up you go.
20:24Ginger: No, I don't know what I'm doing.
20:25Chaos: So go find out.
20:29(nervous exhaling)
20:31Trust it will happen.
20:46Move in abnormal movements.
20:50Let us know how you feel by using sounds.
20:53(groaning)
20:58(audience laughs)
21:00Ginger: Ugh!
21:04(soothing humming)
21:14(groaning)
21:26Chaos: No hands.
21:27(audience laughs)
21:36(breathing heavily)
21:42Ladies and gentleman, a big round of applause for her.
21:44(applause)
21:50That was really good. Thank you.
21:53Thank you.
21:57Welcome back.
21:59Ginger: I feel really good now.
22:01Chaos: That's good.
22:02Woman: Hey, you had some really lovely work.
22:05I mean, you're thinking too much but once
22:06you got off there you're a joy to watch.
22:09Ginger: (chuckles) Thanks, I think.
22:10You know, I really actually thought I knew what a clown was.
22:15No idea, none.
22:17Chaos: Excellent. You are now on your way.
22:21Woman: See you next week. Chaos: Take care.
22:27Do you want to walk with me along the ocean walk?
22:32Dancer: Hey.
22:33Chaos: Honey.
22:41Honey this is Ginger, a new clown student.
22:44Ginger: Nice to meet you. Honey is a very nice name.
22:47Dancer: My name's Dancer.
22:49Only Chaos calls me Honey.
22:52Chaos: We were just about to explore the ocean walk.
22:56Dancer: Anything for a new clown student, right?
22:59Especially a young, pretty female one.
23:03Chaos: We'll just walk that way back to your house.
23:08Dancer: This will be fun.
23:09Let's take you out to play.
23:18Ginger: That was fun.
23:20Chaos: Yeah, you were good, see?
23:21You just need to let it go.
23:25Look at this guy and his funny walk.
23:37(laughter)
23:44Ginger: You don't watch people normally.
23:47Chaos: No, you don't watch people normally.
23:49Ginger: That's what I meant.
23:50Chaos: I know.
23:59Dancer: Lovely evening. Love your shirt.
24:02Watch, he's going to turn back and look at us.
24:03Let's all wave.
24:13(gasps) Let's play the hello game, it's nice and simple.
24:18Chaos: We don't need to play, we can just watch.
24:19Dancer: But the clown student wants to play.
24:21That's why she's here, isn't it?
24:23Ginger: I've had a big day already.
24:25Dancer: That's the best time to do it, when you're on a roll.
24:27Chaos: She likes to pretend that she's a tea-
24:29Dancer: I've seen you do it.
24:30Chaos: Exactly.
24:31Dancer: The hello game is all about attracting
24:33attention and making contact with people.
24:38Watch.
24:42(clears throat)
24:43(squeaking)
24:46Hello ladies, hello! Oh-la-la-la-la.
24:55(kissing sound)
24:58See? It's as simple as that.
25:01You have a go.
25:13Try this family.
25:15(squeaking)
25:18Chaos: You're doing it wrong, she needs a nose.
25:20Dancer: That's right.
25:33Ginger: (squeaking) Hey!
25:35Man: Hey.
25:38Dancer: Well done.
25:41You try that guy.
25:43Ginger: Wait, which one? Dancer: That guy.
25:49(squeaking) (gasp)
25:54Chaos: You okay? (Dancer laughing)
26:01That's why she's not a teacher, she's a trickster.
26:03You can learn a lot from her if remember that.
26:09Dancer: Come on, that was funny.
26:26Chaos: I guess you've had enough for today,
26:27but it's best not to end that way.
26:29You up for something else?
26:33Let's try some mimicry.
26:36Try him.
26:39Ginger: I can't, it's rude.
26:42Chaos: Why?
26:44Ginger: We don't have permission.
26:48Chaos: I give you permission.
26:51Ginger: That's very nice, but he didn't.
26:55Chaos: He'll never know, he doesn't need to.
26:57Dancer: You have to give yourself
26:58permission, that's the secret.
27:02Ginger: Just give myself permission.
27:05Chaos: She's right. He'll never know.
27:07It's just your own inhibitions.
27:10Ginger: Great, it's just my inhibitions.
27:14Chaos: Yes. Off you go.
27:17(mischievous music)
27:42Ginger: (giggling) All right. Chaos: That was awesome.
27:50Dancer: Nice job.
27:52Chaos: You want to try some play like we did in class?
27:55You see that tree?
27:57That's your head of lettuce. Go play with it.
28:02Ginger: You want me to bury myself with a palm tree?
28:05(giggles) Sorry.
28:10You know, I'm good. I've had enough, it's good.
28:16Chaos: Okay, what if I do it with you.
28:18Will that make it easier?
28:20Ginger: Yeah.
28:24Chaos: Can you take a video so she can see it later?
28:31Dancer: Give me your phone.
28:38(exhales)
28:48(moaning)
29:03Ginger: Eh, down.
29:11(groans)
29:16Oh my God!
29:29Hey!
29:40I didn't even realize we had people watching.
29:43Darlene: Well you look like a couple of crazy people,
29:45of course they're going to watch.
29:48Ginger: You know, you have no idea
29:49what a wonderful day I had yesterday.
29:52Darlene: Were you on drugs?
29:54Ginger: No, mom.
29:56Darlene: Well I was at my wit's end. I left you messages.
29:59Ginger: My phone was off.
30:05You're hovering, give me some space.
30:15Darlene: I booked you a lingerie shoot for tomorrow.
30:18Ginger: (groans) I told you I don't want to do those.
30:21Darlene: I know, but as soon as you make
30:24the Top Model competition you won't have to.
30:29Ginger: I think I want to be a clown.
30:32Darlene: Well, that's just not appropriate.
30:35Think of my reputation.
30:36Ginger: I bet you think clown is all
30:38about making people laugh, don't you?
30:41Darlene: It obviously doesn't matter what I think, does it?
30:48Ginger: Whatever.
30:56Darlene: You have a casting this afternoon.
30:59It's with that new designer, he's good.
31:01Ginger: Can't they just do it from the photos?
31:03Darlene: Oh no, no, no, no.
31:05No, it's a fashion show.
31:07Come on, you-you've got to show how you move.
31:15Ginger: That was really good. Maybe you should do it.
31:20Darlene: Maybe I should.
31:21Ginger: Maybe you should.
31:27Madonna: All right, [unintelligible].
31:30Here we go, I could just stay here all day, why not.
31:33Good, that's perfect, I love it.
31:35[unintelligible].
31:40I bet you had no idea you were going to get-
31:45Taste it, taste it, oh my goodness!
31:49And for the final act, magical juggling madness.
31:54Before you very eyes, as promised.
31:57Yes! That's it, thank you everyone.
32:00Can you bend your knees?
32:02That's your show today, ladies and gentlemen.
32:04If you appreciated it at all you can show your
32:07consideration by dropping a dollar in the hat.
32:09Thank you so much, green for green.
32:11Ginger: Hey.
32:14Chaos: Hey.
32:22Ginger: Hey, thanks again for yesterday.
32:24When I showed the video to my mom she was horrified.
32:28Chaos: Let's have a look.
32:37Ginger: Hey, how was that?
32:40Madonna: I am stuck in a time warp.
32:43Ginger: Looked like a lot of your crowd walked away.
32:45Madonna: I'm running on autopilot and they can feel it.
32:49Ginger: Well, I can't feel it.
32:53Madonna: Well I'm just a washed up street clown,
32:55so what do I know?
32:57What are you guys doing?
32:59Chaos: Watching this improv that Ginger and I did last night.
33:03Madonna: (laughs) Oh, well done.
33:06I told you.
33:08Ginger: Well I couldn't have done it without Chaos.
33:11Chaos: It's true.
33:13I had to tell her to do it, or do it with her, every time.
33:18Madonna: Well that will be your next challenge,
33:20to do it on your own.
33:24Ginger: On my own?
33:27Chaos: Well you don't have to.
33:29Madonna: We'll help you.
33:30All you need is a simple structure.
33:34(yawns)
33:36Big night last night?
33:37Chaos: Yeah, Dancer and I did a lot of talking.
33:40Ginger: Yeah, where is she?
33:43Chaos: She makes more money at other gigs
33:44so she only comes here when she has to.
33:47Ginger: She seems...
33:49Madonna: Uptight? Competitive? Jealous?
33:52Possessive in a kind of non-possessive possessive kind of way?
33:59Chaos: Dancer and I have an open relationship.
34:01Madonna: How is that going for you?
34:03Chaos: I know it's mainly so she
34:05can sleep around when she's touring.
34:07And now she's getting suspicious
34:08of the students when she's here.
34:11Ginger: Why? Do you normally have
34:12relationships with students?
34:14Chaos: Never.
34:17Ginger: (coughs) Never?
34:20Chaos: That's not what we're doing here.
34:21Ginger: No, I-Of course, that's not what I meant.
34:26Besides, you have that wonderful relationship with Dancer.
34:34Chaos: Okay, now that we all know about my love life.
34:37What about yours?
34:43Ginger: Well in my family we...
34:48believe in abstinence until marriage.
34:55Madonna: Hey.
34:56TC: Hey.
34:58Who's working?
35:00Chaos: It's me.
35:09Madonna: I think the first thing we should do,
35:13take you shopping for some performance clothes.
35:17Ginger: Okay, can you mind my stuff?
35:20Madonna: Come on.
35:23Ginger: Ew, dusty.
35:25Madonna: Yes, of course they are.
35:28(bird imitation)
35:29Try these on.
35:36(Madonna squeals)
35:37[unintelligible].
35:41Mhm.
35:42This.
35:52Hi!
35:53Ginger: Hey!
35:59Madonna: Howdy! Howdy ma'am.
36:04What do you think?
36:05Ginger: Oh, I love it, but I have
36:07to say it's a little uncomfortable.
36:12Madonna: (squealing) Let's find something else.
36:15What do you think?
36:20Ginger: It kind of feels like me.
36:23I don't know, do you think it's too obvious?
36:26Madonna: No, that's good, that's the point.
36:29You can even do your rollerblading in your show.
36:34You don't have to wear it, it's just so you
36:36can collect money at the end of your show.
36:39What are we going to do with this?
36:43Ginger: Why, what's wrong with it?
36:45Madonna: It's just a little normal.
36:49Ginger: Well, I have my regular
36:52appointment with my stylist tomorrow.
37:00Madonna: Think about it.
37:08Ginger: I like it.
37:10Madonna: Hey, shouldn't buy one of these?
37:15Ginger: I have never tried.
37:16Madonna: It will be a lot better than your
37:17rollerblades because you can hop on and off.
37:27Ginger: This one kind of matches my clothes.
37:35Madonna: Oh, yeah!
37:37Ginger: Oh yeah.
37:40TC: Hi papi. Okay, okay, okay!
37:51Chaos: I see you've been doing a clown makeover.
37:54Madonna: She came up good, huh?
37:57Chaos: You know any tricks on that?
37:58I can teach you.
38:00Ginger: Thanks.
38:05What am I going to do for the rest of it though?
38:08I mean, the skateboarding is just the last couple of minutes.
38:10What do I do for the rest of the show?
38:13Chaos: Well, start with what you like.
38:15What did you like most about yesterday?
38:22Ginger: Teasing the men?
38:24Chaos: Teasing the men. Teasing the men.
38:28Ginger: Well like, I remember this one guy,
38:31and he didn't even see me until he bumped into me.
38:34He turned around and apologized, but he had on this tight
38:38t-shirt and his nipples poked out, so I kind of tweaked them.
38:44I don't know why! (all laughing)
38:48It seemed appropriate at the time.
38:51Madonna: What did he do?
38:53Ginger: He just laughed.
38:55Chaos: That's a good approach for your show.
38:57Take the men on stage, then push the boundaries.
39:04Madonna: And the rest is straight street theater structure.
39:07First you attract attention.
39:10Chaos: Then build the audience.
39:11Madonna: Then you make friends,
39:14because you're going to need them.
39:15Chaos: Organize your audience, and then
39:18start playing some crowd-building games.
39:20Madonna: Then you introduce yourself and start your show.
39:24Chaos: Drag your volunteers on
39:26stage and, play with their nipples.
39:29(all laughing)
39:32Pass the hat around.
39:37Madonna: Nice.
39:42Ginger: But how am I going to do all that?
39:44(both groaning)
39:45Okay, okay, okay. Give me the list again?
39:49Madonna: First attract an audience...
39:54Ginger: What if I can't do it?
39:55Chaos: No, you can do it.
39:56I mean, you know how to skate so you'll pick it up quickly.
39:59Ginger: Show me how.
40:01Chaos: Okay.
40:03Ginger: Just do it.
40:05(cheerful synth music)
40:17Pretty good.
40:19Chaos: I'm just playing. You have a go.
40:22Ginger: So put my foot, like right here?
40:25Chaos: Yes.
40:27Ginger: Okay, then?
40:28Chaos: Keep that there and then push.
40:31Ginger: Woo!
40:33Chaos: Turn.
40:34Ginger: Turn where?
40:35Chaos: Your feet.
40:36Ginger: No, no, no, no.
40:40(laughing)
40:43Chaos: Again!
40:46Ginger: [unintelligible] how do you stop this thing?
40:50Chaos: I haven't figured that out-
40:51I'm playing, I'm playing.
40:54Ginger: I hate you.
40:56Chaos: If I jump that box, how about you do the show with me?
41:00Ginger: That's a deal.
41:03Chaos: Deal.
41:05Ginger: That box right there?
41:06Chaos: That box right there.
41:10Ginger: Any day now.
41:15(both laughing)
41:21Chaos: Clown down.
41:22Ginger: Give me that.
41:25I have to go. I'm late for a fitting.
41:29Chaos: Oh no you don't.
41:31You don't get out of doing a show that easy.
41:32Ginger: No, I really have to go.
41:33Chaos: Uh-uh. Ginger: Give me that!
41:36I'll be right back. I'll be right-I promise.
41:38Chaos: Okay.
41:55Ginger: Hi.
41:57Woman: Thank you for coming in.
42:00Jamie, this is Ginger.
42:05Ginger: Sorry about the clothes, I was at a costume event.
42:21Jamie: Do we have her measurements?
42:23Woman: Mhm.
42:44Oh, we'll let you know.
42:47So Veronica, somewhere in the middle, right?
42:50Jamie: Might be somewhere in the middle.
42:51We can't close with Veronica. She has a horse face.
42:55Madonna: I left the amp on for you
42:56so you can plug in your music.
43:06Ginger: Maybe I can't-
43:09Maybe I'm not ready to do this today.
43:12Madonna: You're never really ready, it's a work in progress.
43:15At least after you do it you'll have learned something.
43:18Ginger: Yeah, that I can't do it.
43:20Madonna: Well, if you think like that,
43:21that's exactly what you're going to get.
43:24Ginger: You think your show's a problem all the time.
43:26Madonna: Because it is.
43:28Chaos: You know, she's right.
43:30Maybe if you thought about it differently,
43:32your show would work out.
43:33Madonna: Well I'm just a washed-up street clown,
43:35what do I know?
43:38Chaos: You see how you're always putting yourself down?
43:39Madonna: It's a joke!
43:41Chaos: Yeah, that's in danger of becoming true.
43:42Madonna: All right! Okay!
44:08(bouncy pop music)
44:15Ginger: (horn squeaking) Hi!
44:17Man: Hey.
45:03(whistle blowing)
45:06Ginger: Hello, how are you?
45:24(whistle blowing)
45:25Hi guy, how are you?
45:32(horn squeaking) Woo!
45:33Hello.
45:37I like you guys.
45:40Oh sir, are you okay?
45:42Bye!
45:44Do you guys want to see a trick?
45:46Come stand right here.
45:48Do you want to hold my [unintelligible]?
45:51Wait one second.
46:02Chaos: Oh my God, are you okay?
46:03Ginger: I have a shoot tomorrow.
46:05Chaos: Good thing you're wearing those kneepads.
46:06Ginger: You have no idea how many
46:07problems this is going to cause.
46:08Chaos: It'll heal quickly, it's okay.
46:11Ginger: I told you I wasn't ready.
46:13Chaos: Yeah, and you proved it.
46:16Ginger: Thanks a lot.
46:22(downbeat guitar music)
46:38Darlene: Ginger? Good.
46:41Can you help me with these groceries please?
46:45What are you wearing?
46:48Ginger: The clowns gave me a makeover.
46:50Darlene: I told you I didn't want you hanging out with them.
46:52Ginger: Don't worry, it's not going to happen again.
47:04Um, I'm sorry, I fell and bruised my leg yesterday
47:07so maybe this isn't the best day for this.
47:10Man: Show me.
47:16Show me. (Ginger gasps)
47:35What have you done with your leg?
47:38Ginger: I told you I fell.
47:48Man: Well that's not going to work, is it.
47:53Shame.
47:55Is your mother here?
48:01Darlene: You know what, you don't know
48:02how lucky you are to have her.
48:04This is the last time we do one
48:06of these, especially with you.
48:10See how I stick up for you?
48:13Ginger: You're supposed to.
48:16But, thank you.
48:21Darlene: What's the story?
48:25(gasps) Oh my God.
48:30Why didn't you tell me?
48:32Ginger: I thought it would heal.
48:33Darlene: Geeze, what happened?
48:37Ginger: I fell.
48:41Darlene: Oh you stupid girl, you stupid girl!
48:45You promised me you would protect yourself, you promised!
48:51You know what, we are just going to
48:52go right now and get your hair done.
48:55Ginger: Stop treating me like a child.
48:58Darlene: Stop acting like one.
49:00Stylist: So, same as usual?
49:02Wash, trim and straighten?
49:06Ginger: Actually I thought I would do
49:08something a little more drastic this time.
49:12Maybe something like this.
49:16(laughs)
49:19Stylist: I don't think your mother would like that.
49:22Ginger: Yeah, I know.
49:25But it's my hair.
49:41Madonna: Hey, nice hair!
49:45How is our little clown today?
49:46Ginger: I'm fine.
49:50All right, I can't do it. Is that what you want to hear?
49:53Madonna: Hey, that's not true.
49:55You had some really great moments.
49:57Ginger: When?
49:58Madonna: The lying on the ground,
49:59and stopping people with the whistle.
50:01That was good.
50:03Dancer: You just got confused with your structure.
50:05It happens to everyone. I mean, look at Chaos.
50:08Ginger: Yeah, what's he doing?
50:11Dancer: He's dying out there.
50:16Ginger: Why isn't it working?
50:18Dancer: He's just, not so good. (scoffs)
50:21Ginger: But he is, he's great. He's...
50:24so original and creative.
50:28Dancer: Aww, the clown student loves her teacher.
50:34Madonna: It happens to everyone.
50:36Dancer: Him, more than most.
50:37Madonna: I don't know about that.
50:39Dancer: Invariably when I'm here.
50:49Chaos: Woo.
50:50Dancer: Well, the only good thing we can
50:52say about that is you bailed early.
50:59(Chaos groans)
51:04You want to meet me tomorrow afternoon?
51:06I've got a proposal.
51:09Chaos: Okay.
51:23My stuff never works when she's around. She's a jinx.
51:28Madonna: It's emotional.
51:33You try way too hard when she's around.
51:35You play it safe rather than push any of your boundaries.
51:38Chaos: Oh, and you can talk?
51:39Madonna: I'm just saying, just saying.
51:49Chaos: Great hair.
51:52Ginger: Sorry, it's just... trying to work
51:55out what to do in my show so I don't fail.
51:58Madonna: Hey, failure is good.
52:02We learn so much more from our
52:03failures than we do our successes.
52:06Chaos: And we often tell others what we need to do ourselves.
52:09Madonna: You.
52:11Chaos: The secret is, don't be afraid of failure,
52:13just push your own boundaries.
52:16Ginger: I feel like I did that though.
52:19Chaos: Well as you can see, we need to keep at it.
52:22(Madonna and Ginger laugh)
52:28Look at her.
52:29She always does this, she likes to show me up.
52:39(pumping)
52:45(water squirting)
52:47Ginger: Oh my God, that's so aggressive.
52:49Chaos: It's just water.
52:50Ginger: Yeah but it's-
52:51It's an invasion of our personal space.
52:54Chaos: That sounds like a good definition of a clown.
53:00Woman: He's shooting water at me!
53:04Chaos: [unintelligible].
53:06(frantic music)
53:26(Darlene gasps)
53:27Ginger: Sorry.
53:29Darlene: Gosh, you scared me.
53:32Ginger: Mama, how much have you had to drink?
53:35Darlene: Don't tell me what to do.
53:41What are you wearing on your-
53:42What are you wearing on your head? (laughs)
53:47Ginger: It's my new hat.
53:50You like it?
53:52Darlene: No. (laughs)
53:55Ginger: Okay.
53:57You have a good night.
54:04Darlene: Night.
54:10Ginger: All the top models are doing it.
54:14Darlene: They booked you for that job, by the way.
54:20Ginger: I wanted to stand out in the Top Model heat.
54:28Darlene: There's a fitting today at 2:00.
54:32Ginger: Uh, okay. I was going to
54:34go to the gym but I'll be there.
54:36Darlene: I have to go. I love you.
54:50Chaos: That is a lovely melon you have.
54:53(energetic music)
55:09(cries out)
55:24Now the moment you've all been waiting for.
55:27Come in closer, a little closer.
55:31Give me your energy, I feel it. Yes sir.
55:34I need a big countdown from 10
55:40(audience counting along) nine, eight, seven,
55:45six, five, four, three, two, one.
55:56Woo-hoo!
55:57(applause)
56:03You've all been a wonderful crowd.
56:05Right before your very eyes, a modern day clown.
56:09Now is the time when I must take
56:11the most important part of my show.
56:15If work here is has caused you [unintelligible],
56:18which judging by the clapping and
56:19the wonderful countdown, it has.
56:22Now is the time to give back.
56:25Oh, we're not smiling anymore.
56:29Remember, the more you give the more fun I have.
56:33You've been beautiful and a great crowd.
56:35My name is Chaos. This is my heart.
56:38And this... is my hat.
57:01Ginger: That was great. You just kept pushing it.
57:08Chaos: Madonna's right, that's my strength.
57:11Ginger: Do you need help?
57:12Chaos: Yeah.
57:16Madonna: Nice work!
57:20Hey lady. (smooches)
57:24Ginger: All right guys, how far can you go?
57:26Chaos: As far as you want.
57:28Madonna: You have to really want to go there.
57:30Chaos: Yeah, you can't be thinking
57:31about it as you're doing it.
57:32Ginger: I am always doing that.
57:35Chaos: With clown or with life?
57:39Ginger: Both.
57:42But I'm starting to see you can pretty much do
57:46anything if you just completely commit to it.
57:51Madonna: You know, I think you should push
57:54the envelope with your show a bit more.
57:57Be a little more vulgar.
58:02TC: Absolutely.
58:04Ginger: Go away.
58:07Madonna: Breaking taboos is all about releasing tension.
58:10Taboos about playing with food. (chuckles)
58:15Taboos about sex.
58:19Watch this.
58:22Come to momma, come to momma!
58:29(giggles)
58:31Give it a try!
58:33Ginger: No, not him!
58:35Madonna: With Chaos then.
58:39Come on!
58:42(mischievous music)
58:46Ginger: Okay.
59:01(giggles)
59:09Madonna: Oh, look at him.
59:12Look at him.
59:16Ginger: Don't get any ideas from that.
59:18Chaos: Of course not.
59:24Shall I give you some games to play?
59:29Put your nose on.
59:35See all this litter on the street?
59:38I want you to pick it up and give it to people.
59:41Ginger: I'm not going to give it to people, it's dirty.
59:43Chaos: Oh! I'm trying to help you here
59:45and you keep working against me.
59:46Ginger: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
59:47Chaos: Stop apologizing.
59:49Now when I tell you to pick up litter and give it to people,
59:53and you feel something, don't stop and talk to me about it.
59:57Ginger: But-Chaos: Let your feelings work
1:00:01for you by expressing them in character.
1:00:09I couldn't make a mess!
1:00:18Ginger: I don't want to make a mess!
1:00:21Chaos: Yes.
1:00:22Now say it as you give it away.
1:00:28Ginger: I don't want to make a mess.
1:00:30I don't want to make a mess.
1:00:32I don't want-I don't-
1:00:35Oh. I don't want to make a mess.
1:00:39Man: We're okay, thank you.
1:00:41Ginger: I don't want to make a mess. Oh.
1:00:43I don't want to make a mess. Ew.
1:00:46I don't want to make a mess.
1:00:48Man: Thank you.
1:00:50Ginger: I don't want to make a mess.
1:00:51Woman: No thank you.
1:00:53Okay, I'll take it. Thank you.
1:00:56(cheers)
1:01:01Ginger: I don't want to make a mess.
1:01:05Dancer: I see you brought your new puppet.
1:01:07Chaos: She's doing good, in a kind of bumbly way.
1:01:10Dancer: Why do you have your microphone on?
1:01:13Chaos: I just finished doing a show.
1:01:15Dancer: Sure.
1:01:24I think we need to get serious about our relationship.
1:01:28I've been offered a part in the new Ringling Brothers show.
1:01:32It's part of a duo.
1:01:37They asked me who I want to work with
1:01:38and I'm thinking of suggesting you.
1:01:43Chaos: Wow.
1:01:47Dancer: Wow?
1:01:50Ginger: Oh my God, that was so much fun.
1:01:53Give me another one.
1:01:55Chaos: I've noticed you're inhibited about using your voice.
1:01:58So I want you to ask the people what time it is
1:02:02(clears throat) in a funny voice.
1:02:06Ginger: (slowly) But I would never do that.
1:02:11Chaos: Of course not.
1:02:12Off you go.
1:02:18Dancer: You really care about her.
1:02:20Chaos: I like to see all my students growing.
1:02:22Dancer: You really care about her.
1:02:29Look, think about the Ringling Brothers thing.
1:02:37And if we do it I think we need to
1:02:38formalize our relationship [unintelligible].
1:02:43Just think about it.
1:02:54Ginger: Do you have-a the time?
1:02:55Man: What time?
1:02:56Ginger: The time, you know, the time on the watch.
1:02:59The thing. Oh yeah.
1:03:03You are a very good man. I love your sweater.
1:03:09Chaos: I think the next step is to do
1:03:10a guest spot on my show.
1:03:13Ginger: A guest spot.
1:03:15Chaos: Yeah, so you don't have to do all the crowd building.
1:03:19Ginger: Okay.
1:03:20Chaos: Now.
1:03:23Ginger: I have a fitting in an hour.
1:03:27But it should only take half an hour or so?
1:03:32Chaos: Deal.
1:03:35(laughs)
1:03:37Ginger: Okay, okay. I'll be back.
1:03:56Jamie: My God, your hair.
1:04:04It wasn't like that the other day was it?
1:04:16I actually like it.
1:04:18But whether it will work for this showing we'll have to see.
1:04:22Get going, I need you to start with Ginger.
1:04:27(strolling music)
1:04:45Try the mint.
1:05:00It doesn't go with the hair.
1:05:02Try the pink and black.
1:05:06This is okay. This I don't-
1:05:10You need to go get a tan or something.
1:05:16Move.
1:05:36Okay.
1:05:37I don't want you playing that character on the show.
1:05:42But that outfit will work.
1:05:45Photograph her and bag it.
1:05:54Ginger: Hey.
1:05:55Chaos: I was beginning to give up.
1:05:57Ginger: Sorry, it took longer than I thought.
1:06:02I was thinking about the play this morning.
1:06:04Actually quite liberating just playing
1:06:06with your own personal hangups.
1:06:08Madonna: No! Ginger: Hey.
1:06:11Chaos: Well that's good because now you're
1:06:11going to do a make-a-mess show.
1:06:15Ginger: What do I do?
1:06:17Chaos: Just approach it like we've been playing in class.
1:06:21Ginger: That's it? That's all I get?
1:06:22Chaos: Yeah.
1:06:27Ginger: Let's do this.
1:06:31Madonna: [unintelligible].
1:06:34Gorgeous.
1:06:37(bright pop music)
1:06:50Chaos: And now the moment you've been waiting for.
1:06:53I give you Ginger and the Corn Flake [unintelligible].
1:07:28Ginger: Okay, okay.
1:07:30(deep breathing)
1:07:54(applause)
1:08:29Audience: One, two, three!
1:08:41(grunts) I'm so sorry!
1:09:28Okay, ready?
1:09:32Audience: One, two, three!
1:09:35(excited yelling)
1:10:06Chaos: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Corn Flake Queen.
1:10:10(whistles loudly)
1:10:14That's our show for today.
1:10:15If we made you laugh and clap, by the looks of it we have,
1:10:18then please show some contribution with the hat.
1:10:26Ginger: Thank you guys.
1:10:28Thank you, you were great.
1:10:38(both laughing)
1:10:44Woman: Great show.
1:10:46Boy: Can I get a photo of you?
1:10:51Woman: Can I get a photo of you two?
1:10:54Ginger: Sure.
1:11:03Woman: [unintelligible].
1:11:04Ginger: Oh my God, I've got corn flakes everywhere.
1:11:16(flowing guitar music)
1:11:52Oh my God, it's going to be cold.
1:11:56(waves surging)
1:12:08(giggling) You're a jerk.
1:12:18I have Corn Flakes in my ear..
1:12:23It's just that I thought you didn't
1:12:25have relationships with students.
1:12:29Chaos: You're not really a student.
1:12:33Ginger: So is that what we're doing, having a relationship?
1:12:39Chaos: Not if you keep talking.
1:12:42Ginger: What about your relationship with Dancer?
1:12:46Chaos: We have an open relationship so
1:12:49it's not an issue for her.
1:12:53Ginger: But it's an issue for me.
1:13:05Chaos: You're right, it's not going to work out.
1:13:11Ginger: What did she want to talk to you about today anyway?
1:13:16Chaos: She wants me to work with her at Ringling Brothers.
1:13:20Ginger: That's fantastic.
1:13:26Chaos: We're a bit too competitive.
1:13:27She hasn't surrendered to the experience like you do.
1:13:31Ginger: I can't do anything else, it's too terrifying.
1:13:37Chaos: You know this was a one-time only,
1:13:39you working my show?
1:13:41Ginger: Okay.
1:13:43You need to come up with your own show
1:13:44for what you're calling a "relationship" to work.
1:13:46Ginger: That's what I want anyway.
1:13:49Chaos: We need to be two individual people,
1:13:50not dependent on one another.
1:13:52Ginger: All right, I get it.
1:13:59I think I'm going to go.
1:14:03It's been a long day.
1:14:11(uplifting music)
1:14:27Chaos: We need to give space for
1:14:28the winds of time to blow between us.
1:14:47Ginger: Hi-(Darlene gasps)
1:14:48(shattering ceramic)
1:14:51What?
1:14:54Darlene: Darling what did you do to your hair?
1:14:58Ginger: Uh...
1:15:02It's just time for a change.
1:15:06Darlene: I need a drink.
1:15:08Ginger: No, no, no you don't.
1:15:10It's fine, it's not a problem.
1:15:13Darlene: You sabotage any opportunity to work,
1:15:15after all that we've worked for-
1:15:17Ginger: No I'm not.
1:15:19The designer today, he really likes it.
1:15:24Darlene: He liked it?
1:15:26Ginger: Yes, and he treated me differently.
1:15:30Like I was a real person and not just some mannequin.
1:15:36Darlene: Well...
1:15:41It limits your opportunity to work.
1:15:44Ginger: Okay, fine.
1:15:48Darlene: So you are trying to sabotage your career.
1:15:50Ginger: What do you want from me?
1:15:54Darlene: Darling, I want what
1:15:57any mother wants for her daughter.
1:16:00I want you to get married, and have children,
1:16:04and have a successful career as you get older, like me.
1:16:10Ginger: Saddest thing I've ever heard.
1:16:16Mom I love you.
1:16:22But I don't want to be you.
1:16:28Good night.
1:16:30(knocking on door).
1:16:35Jeff: Hi.
1:16:37Ginger: Hi. I don't think mom's up yet.
1:16:40Is she expecting you?
1:16:42Jeff: I came to see you.
1:16:45Ginger: Oh. Come in.
1:16:55Jeff: What happened to your hair?
1:16:58Ginger: It's my new look.
1:17:01You don't like it?
1:17:03Jeff: It's different.
1:17:06Ginger: Yeah.
1:17:10Jeff: I wanted to ask you to marry me.
1:17:15Will you?
1:17:21Ginger: Um... Hm.
1:17:26Gee, Jeff, I thought maybe you
1:17:28might ask me on a date, or something.
1:17:34Because we should do that first, to get to know each other.
1:17:39Right?
1:17:40Jeff: I guess.
1:17:42I'm not very good at that so I thought
1:17:43I'd skip to the next [unintelligible].
1:17:51Ginger: You're bit of a clown, you know that?
1:17:54No, no, I meant that in a good way.
1:17:57I've been doing some clowning down by the beach.
1:18:01Jeff: Clowning?
1:18:03Ginger: Yeah.
1:18:05Have you ever, I don't know, gone bungee jumping
1:18:10off a high bridge, or skydiving, mountain climbing?
1:18:15No? Huh.
1:18:17Me neither, but I think it must feel something
1:18:22like what clowning on the street does.
1:18:31Jeff: So is that a no?
1:18:35Ginger: No?
1:18:38Jeff: It wasn't a yes though, was it?
1:18:39Ginger: No.
1:18:44Jeff: Okay.
1:18:46Ginger: Okay.
1:18:51Jeff: I'll check it out.
1:18:52Ginger: Yeah, the show. Check out the show.
1:19:00Thank you.
1:19:11Dancer: It's the clown student back for more punishment.
1:19:13Ginger: Loving every minute.
1:19:14Dancer: Now we'll see how long that lasts.
1:19:23Ginger: Hey. (kissing)
1:19:28Did you tell her?
1:19:30Chaos: What?
1:19:33Ginger: Nothing.
1:19:34Why's she here?
1:19:36Chaos: Ringling Brothers needs a decision.
1:19:38Ginger: It's obvious, isn't it?
1:19:40Chaos: And she wants to get married.
1:19:46Ginger: Would that be an open marriage
1:19:48or the more traditional kind?
1:19:51Chaos: I don't know. She gets these ideas in her.
1:19:54Ginger: This just must be a day for proposals.
1:19:58Chaos: You're down late.
1:20:00Madonna: I couldn't sleep.
1:20:02So, how is our Corn Flake clown queen today?
1:20:07Ginger: Unmarried.
1:20:11Chaos: Dancer's here, everybody.
1:20:14Madonna: I think that would be a good title for your show,
1:20:16"The Unmarried Clown Show"
1:20:22The pitch is empty, who's up?
1:20:24Chaos: It's me.
1:20:41Dancer: Hey. (smooches)
1:20:47How's it hanging?
1:20:49Madonna: Not bad.
1:20:51I hate my show, but it's still
1:20:52earning so I feel a little trapped.
1:20:55Dancer: Trapped by your own success.
1:20:56Madonna: Ugh.
1:21:01Dancer: You want to share?
1:21:02Madonna: Oh, sure.
1:21:10Dancer: What about you, clown student, do you smoke?
1:21:13Ginger: My name is Ginger, and no, I don't.
1:21:21Madonna: Ginger did a great number in Chaos' show last night.
1:21:25Dancer: Mm, she did, did she?
1:21:26Madonna: Yeah. I've got it on my phone.
1:21:28Ginger: You did? Can I see?
1:21:31Madonna: Yeah.
1:21:40Ginger: Oh my God. (chuckles)
1:21:44I love it.
1:21:50(Madonna laughs)
1:21:56Dancer: Very good.
1:21:58Ginger: Ah, the colors are so pretty on your phone.
1:22:02(laughs)
1:22:06Hey, can I make a copy of this?
1:22:07Madonna: Yeah, I'll put it on my blog and you can download it.
1:22:11Ginger: Thanks.
1:22:13Dancer: What you need now is experience.
1:22:16Ginger: Yeah.
1:22:21Dancer: You can do something in my show if you want.
1:22:25Ginger: Really?
1:22:29Okay.
1:22:37(all laughing)
1:22:42Dancer: Ooh, we've got a first timer.
1:22:51(groovy music)
1:22:58You want to do this one, that's a good one.
1:23:03Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, there we go.
1:23:07You want to do this one, that's a good one.
1:23:18Very nice ladies, watch out for those two.
1:23:40(moves into unsteady guitar music)
1:23:52Woman: Oh!
1:23:53Ginger: Sorry.
1:23:54Woman: Ah, ah, ah, ah!
1:23:57Ginger: No, no, no. It's okay. See? It's fine.
1:24:01(moves into tense accordion music)
1:24:18Chaos: I warned you about her.
1:24:23Just lie down and let your emotions settle.
1:24:35When I say that's the last time you get to do
1:24:36a guest spot on my show I didn't mean for you to go and
1:24:38prostitute yourself out with the other performers.
1:24:42Ginger: She got me stoned.
1:24:45Chaos: Yeah, she likes to do that.
1:24:51My point is, it's better if you get your own show.
1:24:54Madonna: The Unmarried Clown Show.
1:24:58Ginger: Sounds like my mother's worst nightmare.
1:25:00Chaos: Excellent.
1:25:02When I gave you the other day.
1:25:04Ginger: Yeah but that didn't work.
1:25:06Chaos: You really didn't do the structure we gave you.
1:25:08Ginger: I tried, I just kept making mistakes.
1:25:12Madonna: There are no mistakes, Ginger.
1:25:16Ginger: Yeah, because failure is good, right?
1:25:19Chaos: Yeah, and that was the first time you tried it.
1:25:22It takes many experiments to perfect a show.
1:25:23You have to do it over and over, again and again.
1:25:27That's why when you get successful it's so hard to change.
1:25:30Isn't that right, Madonna?
1:25:31Madonna: Oh, no.
1:25:37Chaos: Remember, no mistakes.
1:25:40Ginger: Now you really have to do something new.
1:25:42(audience counting)
1:25:49(applause)
1:25:55Madonna: Maybe I'll take that clown master class tomorrow.
1:25:57Chaos: Yeah, I am.
1:25:59Madonna: Are you really?
1:26:01Chaos: It's a visiting teacher from New York.
1:26:03Ginger: Maybe I should take it too.
1:26:05Chaos: Eh, he might scare it out of you.
1:26:07And it's not cheap. 500 dollars.
1:26:10Madonna: (whistles) 500?
1:26:13Maybe I'll just work on this old thing by myself instead.
1:26:19Ginger: But failure is good, right?
1:26:22Madonna: Hey, listen here, you cheeky newcomer.
1:26:25Don't confront me with my own words
1:26:27unless you're ready to put it in practice yourself.
1:26:29(laughing)
1:26:42Darlene: Ginger?
1:26:45Ginger: Yeah, I just have to pee really fast.
1:26:47I will be right back.
1:26:49Darlene: Let me see you.
1:26:52Ginger: See? I'm all right.
1:26:55I just fell down. (laughs)
1:27:00Darlene: Have you been hanging out with those clowns?
1:27:03I told you they were dangerous.
1:27:04Ginger: It wasn't while I was clowning.
1:27:06Darlene: If you put yourself out there it will happen.
1:27:10Ginger: I'm supposed to stay stuck in here with you? (laughs)
1:27:14Darlene: Are you on drugs?
1:27:17Ginger: No. I'm tired.
1:27:22I'm going to go take a nap.
1:27:26Darlene: We have that fashion show in an hour.
1:27:31It better be a quick nap.
1:27:36Don't worry, I'm going to take you.
1:27:41Ginger: Great.
1:27:47Darlene: Ginger, Ginger darling.
1:27:48I thought you had three changes this evening.
1:27:50Ginger: No, I'm just doing one.
1:27:54Darlene: But they paid for three.
1:27:56I'm going to talk to Jamie.
1:27:57Ginger: No-
1:27:58Darlene: Jamie, darling. Hi.
1:28:01How come Ginger only has one outfit this evening?
1:28:04Jamie: Because her hair doesn't work with the others.
1:28:07You're very lucky you have a creative daughter,
1:28:10but it's not really what you what in a model.
1:28:15Darlene: It's not what you want in a model, is it.
1:28:19Don't be creative this evening.
1:28:21Ginger: Don't be creative?
1:28:22Mom, you're not helping.
1:28:24Just stay out of it.
1:28:27(sighs)
1:28:30Darlene: What are you looking at?
1:28:33(pulsing music)
1:28:53Ginger: Happy?
1:28:55Darlene: Of course, dear.
1:28:59Ginger: Hey, um.
1:29:01There's this master class [unintelligible]
1:29:04clown teacher I want to take tomorrow.
1:29:06Darlene: How much is it?
1:29:08Ginger: 500.
1:29:10Darlene: 500 dollars? You've got to be joking.
1:29:12Ginger: Mom, please. This is for my career.
1:29:15Darlene: This is your career!
1:29:16You're running away from your career to do all this nonsense.
1:29:19Ginger: It's not nonsense.
1:29:22Look, just think of it as an advance on my allowance.
1:29:26Or you can take it out of the trust.
1:29:28I mean, that's my money.
1:29:35Darlene: No. I'm not going to allow it.
1:29:44Ginger: Wow, you're hopeless.
1:29:47I wish just once you would support my dreams.
1:29:51But it's your dreams I'm always having to live up to.
1:29:57(melancholy music)
1:30:14Woman: How do you want to pay?
1:30:18Debit or credit?
1:30:20Ginger: Debit.
1:30:26Woman: Thanks.
1:30:27Instructor: Take a big breath in,
1:30:29and touch on whatever that place is.
1:30:30And let the sound out on the out breath.
1:30:33(vocal sighing)
1:30:40(laughing)
1:30:45Close your eyes and take a big breath.
1:30:49Now, don't listen to anyone else.
1:30:53Focus on your expression and let
1:30:55out a noise on the out breath.
1:30:58(vocal sighing)
1:31:05(applause)
1:31:09Instructor: Wonderful work when you let go of your habits.
1:31:13Okay, who's next?
1:31:15Come on, I know there's one left.
1:31:18Who's hiding?
1:31:28Okay, you are looking for love.
1:31:32Ginger: Do I get an object?
1:31:34Instructor: Nope.
1:31:37Ginger: Okay.
1:32:04Instructor: No taking audience members on to stage.
1:32:09Ginger: Um...
1:32:10Instructor: Don't stop, you're doing well.
1:32:11Ginger: I know but I was going to use him in my piece.
1:32:13Instructor: I know, and I'm not letting you,
1:32:16because that's another exercise.
1:32:24We all know you love Chaos, but what we
1:32:27want to see is why you need love so much.
1:32:32Keep going, you were doing well.
1:32:38You were looking for love.
1:32:47What are you doing?
1:32:50Ginger: I was looking for love.
1:32:54Instructor: We want to see you reveal yourself.
1:32:56We don't want to see you telling us a silly story.
1:32:59Go back to what you were doing
1:33:00at the start, that was working.
1:33:10Ginger: I'm sorry I...
1:33:12I don't know how.
1:33:16Instructor: Well, thank goodness
1:33:18you're expressing yourself now.
1:33:22Chaos: Ginger wait.
1:33:25Okay, I know what happened in there sucked, but I warned you.
1:33:28Ginger: I can't do it.
1:33:30Chaos: Yet.
1:33:31Ginger: (scoffs) Yeah, I can't do it yet.
1:33:34Chaos: I think you need to figure out why you're doing it.
1:33:38Ginger: Usually this is the point where you come over and
1:33:42give me a big hug, tell me that I'm a really good clown,
1:33:46and that I should keep going.
1:33:48Chaos: It doesn't matter what I say.
1:33:50Ginger: It matters to me.
1:33:54Chaos: See, this is what I meant by an independent relationship.
1:33:57We each need to take responsibility for our own growth.
1:34:02Can you feel the winds of time?
1:34:07Ginger: Yeah, I do. (sniffles)
1:34:17(door closing)
1:34:29(adventurous music)
1:36:57Darlene: I'm very disappointed in you.
1:37:00Hand it over.
1:37:05Ginger: I'm going to pay you back.
1:37:07Darlene: Yeah you will.
1:37:08You betrayed my faith in you.
1:37:12Ginger: I kind of had a big day.
1:37:15I just need to take some time.
1:37:17Darlene: Maybe you should find it somewhere else.
1:37:19Ginger: I really don't need this from you right now.
1:37:21Darlene: And I do?
1:37:22Ginger: Apparently.
1:37:24Darlene: I am not going to support your wayward lifestyle.
1:37:27Ginger: Okay, we're talking about a theater workshop.
1:37:32Darlene: You abused my trust.
1:37:35There have to be consequences.
1:37:37Ginger: Fine, whatever.
1:37:41Darlene: The Top Model competition's tomorrow.
1:37:47Ginger: I've actually been thinking about that and I-
1:37:49Darlene: Ginger, if you don't do this then
1:37:50it's the end of the road with my support!
1:37:53Ginger: This is exactly how you manipulate me.
1:37:58Darlene: It's your choice.
1:37:59Ginger: Oh, my choice.
1:38:07Fine, I'll do it, but I'm only doing this for you.
1:38:13Darlene: Well don't worry, I'll be there to support you.
1:38:15Ginger: I don't want you there.
1:38:17Oh, and just so you know, I'm starting my own street show.
1:38:25(punchy synth music)
1:38:29Madonna: So exciting!
1:38:31All right, last one.
1:38:37(laughs)
1:38:39Ah, [unintelligible].
1:38:43Ginger: I love her. She's so inspiring.
1:38:47Chaos: She's doing really good.
1:38:49Ginger: I got a little crows yesterday, after the workshop.
1:38:54Chaos: Good for you.
1:38:56Ginger: I think I'm starting to see how this all works.
1:39:03Okay.
1:39:05Do you think, if I could get three men up on stage,
1:39:09I could have a competition for my love?
1:39:13Chaos: Sure.
1:39:16Ginger: It could be like,
1:39:17a competition for my hand in marriage.
1:39:20And it could be a dance competition because, you know,
1:39:23my husband has to be able to dance.
1:39:27Chaos: You should try.
1:39:30Ginger: Can you do it?
1:39:36Chaos: If I'm in the mood.
1:39:40Ginger: Are you in the mood now?
1:39:46Chaos: I could be persuaded.
1:40:07(Darlene clears throat)
1:40:09Ginger: Mom? What are you doing here?
1:40:12Darlene: It's a big day.
1:40:13We've got to get you ready for the Top Model competition.
1:40:16Ginger: I said I didn't need your help.
1:40:18Darlene: Oh, I won't be there this afternoon,
1:40:19but obviously you need my help to get ready.
1:40:24Ginger: Get ready?
1:40:25Darlene: Hair, makeup, facials, oh my God.
1:40:29Darling, you've got to look your best.
1:40:32Chaos: Your mother really loves you.
1:40:35Ginger: Yeah, I promised I'd do this for her.
1:40:41Darlene: Nice meeting you.
1:40:53Ginger who was that boy you were kissing?
1:40:57Ginger: A friend.
1:40:59A friend who's helping me put together a new show.
1:41:04Darlene: Are you in love with him?
1:41:06Ginger: Mom. Can we not do the darling
1:41:09inquisition right before Top Model?
1:41:16Darlene: I still don't know why you don't want me there.
1:41:21Ginger: Because you have to live your own dreams.
1:41:26Jeff: I'm really excited.
1:41:28Think about what this is going to do for our careers.
1:41:37Woman: Ginger Carmichael.
1:41:55Man: Are you wearing underwear?
1:42:02Could you take your clothes off please?
1:42:06Ginger: I'm sorry?
1:42:08Man: We'd like to see you in your underwear.
1:42:48Do a couple of turns up and down the catwalk,
1:42:50then stop at the end and say your name.
1:42:56(pulsing electronic music)
1:43:15(snapping fingers)
1:43:30(purring)
1:43:42Ginger: Ooh.
1:43:55(moaning)
1:44:02Oh, yeah!
1:44:05(increasing in volume) Oh, oh, oh!
1:44:11(air hissing)
1:44:13(applause)
1:44:22Thank you.
1:44:38(hopeful music)
1:45:01Darlene: So how did it go?
1:45:05Ginger: Mom, listen.
1:45:13Top Model is just not my thing.
1:45:18Darlene: What do you mean?
1:45:21Ginger: I don't want to do it.
1:45:26Darlene: You deliberately threw it off.
1:45:28Ginger: Why would I say it's not my
1:45:29thing if I deliberately threw it off?
1:45:32Darlene: You deliberately threw the opportunity that we've worked so hard for!
1:45:35That's why you didn't want me there!
1:45:37Ginger: You're jumping to conclusions. This is not-
1:45:39(phone ringing)
1:45:41Darlene: Darlene.
1:45:48(gasps) Yeah.
1:45:52Thank you.
1:45:55(chuckles)
1:46:01They said you did a striptease.
1:46:04And you performed an orgasm with a fire extinguisher.
1:46:07Ginger: Okay. They told me to take my clothes off.
1:46:10So yeah, I performed an orgasm with a fire extinguisher.
1:46:18Darlene: Why would you do that?
1:46:21Ginger: I can't fit into this box that you want me to.
1:46:26I have to be myself.
1:46:33Mom?
1:46:34You know, I warned you.
1:46:49I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
1:46:52It's for your own good.
1:47:01Ginger: Fine.
1:47:04This is all too exhausting anyway.
1:47:07(contemplative music)
1:47:16Chaos: You know you're welcome to stay as long as you like.
1:47:20Ginger: Oh no, you are not getting
1:47:22me into your bed that easily, sir.
1:47:28Chaos: Okay, so you're going to play hard to get?
1:47:32There's a spare mattress over there.
1:47:35Ginger: Good.
1:47:39Chaos: But uh, I wouldn't recommend
1:47:41on holding out until we're married.
1:47:45Ginger: [unintelligible] chance of that.
1:48:01But, you didn't think there was
1:48:03much chance in a relationship either.
1:48:06So, I live in hope.
1:48:17What happened with Dancer and Ringling?
1:48:22Chaos: They offered me the job.
1:48:27Ginger: Wow.
1:48:29Chaos: But I told them I'm not going to take it.
1:48:38Ginger: I guess I'm lucky I caught you when I did.
1:48:47But...
1:48:51Chaos: Despite the inherent foolishness of the task,
1:48:55I'm now ready to form a deep, committed relationship,
1:48:59with you.
1:49:01Ginger: With me?
1:49:07(music)
1:49:30A little fast for me.
1:49:36I think I should go home.
1:49:40Chaos: I thought you said you can't go.
1:49:42Ginger: She did, but...
1:49:45She just wants what's best for me.
1:49:49I think she'll understand when I explain.
1:49:58(gasps)
1:49:59Mom.
1:50:01Sorry, I didn't know you'd be going to bed so early.
1:50:04Darlene: I'm not.
1:50:07Ginger: Look, I know you told me
1:50:09to find somewhere else to stay-
1:50:10Darlene: I'm sorry Ginger.
1:50:11Ginger: If you would just let me explain.
1:50:14I think that my chastity is in greater
1:50:18danger if you throw me out.
1:50:21(scoffs)
1:50:22Darlene: I'm not going to fall for that sort of manipulation.
1:50:25You wanted your freedom, you got it.
1:50:26Ginger: Fine. I'm just going to grab some clothes.
1:50:28Darlene: It's not a good time.
1:50:30Ginger: Now you're just being silly.
1:50:31Darlene: It's not a good time!
1:50:52Ginger: Jeff, what are you doing here?
1:50:57Jeff: Your mother and I were just catching up on some work.
1:51:05I got through the Top Model heat.
1:51:11Ginger: That's great.
1:51:15For both of you.
1:51:28I realized I have to make the decision for myself.
1:51:36To do what I want.
1:51:45Can you get out the other mattress?
1:51:49Chaos: Sure.
1:51:54(bright music)
1:52:37TC: Hey.
1:52:52What's up man, how's it going?
1:52:53TC: Good.
1:52:56Looks like I'm getting a job with the Ringling Brothers.
1:52:58Ginger: Are you and Dancer getting married?
1:53:00TC: How did you guys know about that?
1:53:03We haven't told anybody yet.
1:53:07Ginger: Just a lucky guess.
1:53:11TC: So, are you guys doing a show together?
1:53:12Chaos: No, she's got her own.
1:53:15TC: That was quick.
1:53:16Chaos: I know, she's tenacious.
1:53:20TC: Ew.
1:53:21Ginger: Shut up.
1:53:22Excellent.
1:53:24Hi, hello everyone.
1:53:27Are you having a good day?
1:53:29Meet my chicken, he's my friend.
1:53:31How's it going?
1:53:34Hey guys, come watch.
1:53:36It's not scary, I promise.
1:53:38We're nice people.
1:53:40Hi, how are you?
1:53:42Will you stand here for me?
1:53:44I promise I'll be really nice to you.
1:53:48How you doing?
1:53:50Can I have a high five from you too?
1:53:52I love it.
1:53:54How are you all doing?
1:53:55I'm going to do a show for you, is that okay?
1:53:58Awesome.
1:54:02I'm going to tell you all a little story
1:54:04but I'm going to need you to help me out.
1:54:06I need you to learn two things.
1:54:08When I do this, I want you to scream like
1:54:10you've never been so excited in your life.
1:54:13Man: Yeah!
1:54:14Ginger: Oh, he's got it. He's totally got it.
1:54:16I want everyone else match that. Ready?
1:54:18One, two, three.
1:54:19(audience screams)
1:54:21We don't even have to do it twice, you guys are so good.
1:54:24All right, one more thing.
1:54:25When I point down I want you to scream, "No way!" Ready?
1:54:28Audience: No way!
1:54:30Ginger: Try this one.
1:54:31(audience screams)
1:54:32This one.
1:54:33Audience: No way!
1:54:34Ginger: I think you guys got it, you're awesome.
1:54:36My name is Ginger, and I'm a clown.
1:54:39And today, I was kicked out of my home.
1:54:42Audience: No way!
1:54:43Ginger: I didn't hear you, and you're my front man.
1:54:45Man: No way!
1:54:46Ginger: Yes, it's so true.
1:54:49So I'm alone, and homeless, and I think what I need to do is
1:54:53find a nice, young man to take me in and make me his wife.
1:54:56What do you think?
1:54:57(audience cheers)
1:54:58All right, let's go man hunting.
1:55:00Hi, what's your name?
1:55:01Tyler: Tyler.
1:55:02Ginger: Tyler, I like you. I'll come back to you.
1:55:05And you?
1:55:06Jay: Jay.
1:55:07Ginger: Did you see that?
1:55:08I'm going to leave him for you, okay?
1:55:11I don't know.
1:55:17Hello
1:55:18Man 1: Hello.
1:55:19I'm going to need your help on this one, is that okay?
1:55:21Man 1: Yes. Ginger: I've got one, guys.
1:55:22All right. Stand right here.
1:55:25There's a little too much stuff.
1:55:29We're going to remove this item of clothing.
1:55:32Woo, that's much better.
1:55:34We like what we see, don't we guys?
1:55:36(audience cheers)
1:55:38All right.
1:55:39Man 1: I'm so pleased to meet you.
1:55:40Ginger: You're a lot more than that, don't worry.
1:55:42So I think [unintelligible] but I'm getting a little hasty.
1:55:46I shouldn't just choose the first man I see, right?
1:55:48Audience: No way.
1:55:50Ginger: So I probably need to
1:55:51have a competition, for my love.
1:55:55Because love is important, isn't it?
1:55:57Do you feel me?
1:55:58Love is really important.
1:56:00So we need two more, two more guys to pick from.
1:56:06Hi.
1:56:08You, come stand up here.
1:56:11You are number two.
1:56:14And, hrm.
1:56:17How are you?
1:56:19Man 3: Fine.
1:56:19Ginger: Good.
1:56:20You look scared of me, I don't know.
1:56:23Here for my love. Are you scared?
1:56:25Man 3: A little bit.
1:56:27Ginger: A little scared?
1:56:27Like on a scale of one to 10 you're like a...
1:56:29Man 3: [unintelligible] scared.
1:56:30Ginger: That will do.
1:56:31Okay, get up here.
1:56:34We're going to put on some music, we're going to dance,
1:56:36and then you're going to help me pick one.
1:56:37What do you think about that?
1:56:38(audience cheers)
1:56:40All right guys, time to get your groove on.
1:56:43Guy number one, let's see what you've got.
1:56:47He's brushing the shoulders.
1:56:49Doing the surfer, doing the surfer.
1:56:51What else do you got? Give me one more.
1:56:54Oh that's going to be hard to beat.
1:56:55Guy number two, what do you got?
1:56:59Oh, he's got the hips.
1:57:02Got the funky groove.
1:57:04Show me something else, show me something else.
1:57:07Some little snake arms.
1:57:08I like that, I could do that for the rest of eternity.
1:57:11What about you, what have you got, guy number three?
1:57:15Oh, he's in a club. He's clubbing.
1:57:20I think he's still a little scared. Break out of it.
1:57:23Oh, there it is. Backing it up, backing it up.
1:57:26What about you, what have you got?
1:57:28Oh, she's sexy. We like her.
1:57:31What about you? Show me something good.
1:57:33Give me a little hip bump out here in the audience?
1:57:38I think he's still a little scared. Break out of it.
1:57:42Oh, there it is. Backing it up, backing it up.
1:57:45What about you, what have you got?
1:57:47Oh, she's sexy. We like her.
1:57:50What about you? Show me something good.
1:57:53Give me a little hip bump out here in the audience?
1:57:57Yes, well done. Come on.
1:58:00Yes, well done.
1:58:01Come on, you know you like it.
1:58:04Everyone all together.
1:58:06Dancing with our hips. I know you've all got hips.
1:58:09There you go.
1:58:11Yeah, pump it up.
1:58:13All right, guys.
1:58:14Five, four, three, two, one.
1:58:19Give me a big round of applause for these guys right here.
1:58:22(applause)
1:58:25By a show of hands, who thinks guy
1:58:28number three should be my husband?
1:58:30(applause)
1:58:31Woo, that was pretty good. We like you.
1:58:33By a show of hands, who thinks guy
1:58:35number two should be my husband?
1:58:37(applause)
1:58:39They like you, don't worry.
1:58:41You're very good.
1:58:42Let me help you with that.
1:58:44Guy 2: Ah, thank you.
1:58:46Ginger: All right. By a show of hands,
1:58:47who thinks guy number one should be my husband?
1:58:50(raucous applause)
1:58:53We have a big winner.
1:58:54Sorry guys, you were very lovely to play with.
1:58:57Why don't you come keep this lady company over here.
1:58:59Look, she loves you so much.
1:59:02Woo! Yes!
1:59:04I am all yours, what's your name?
1:59:05Mike: Hey, I'm Mike.
1:59:07Ginger: He's right. That's very good.
1:59:09So Mike, if we're going to be together for the rest of
1:59:11eternity I think we need to do one more test of trust.
1:59:14What do you guys think?
1:59:15(cheering)
1:59:17All right, can you do that for me, Mike?
1:59:18Mike: Absolutely.
1:59:19Ginger: Awesome, all right.
1:59:20I'm going to need you to lay down right here.
1:59:23Right on the ground in front of these nice people.
1:59:26Are you comfy?
1:59:27Mike: No.
1:59:28Ginger: No? That's okay.
1:59:29I need you to cover this with your eyes,
1:59:31you're not going to want to see this,
1:59:32and maybe, you know.
1:59:34(laughter)
1:59:37Here's what's going to happen.
1:59:38I am going to jump over Mike on my skateboard.
1:59:45What do you guys think?
1:59:46(audience cheers)
1:59:48This is very difficult.
1:59:49It's never been done before, at least not by me.
1:59:52This is my first time.
1:59:54Don't be worried.
1:59:55Mike: I'm worried.
1:59:56Ginger: It's going to be okay.
1:59:58Are you okay? Nod your head.
2:00:00Yes, he's fine.
2:00:03I just need to take a little measurement here.
2:00:10Yeah, that will do.
2:00:13We have a couple inches to spare, it's okay.
2:00:17If this works, Mike and I are
2:00:18getting married for all eternity.
2:00:21And if not, it's going to be
2:00:22a really short term relationship.
2:00:24It's okay, Mike, I've got this.
2:00:26I've only been doing this for one day.
2:00:29Can I get a big round of applause for Mike?
2:00:31(applause)
2:00:33We're going to count down from five, four, three, two, one.
2:00:41And that's it.
2:00:42All right, you are the love of my life.
2:00:45Come to me.
2:00:46Give me a big kiss.
2:00:48That's it for Mike.
2:00:49Thank you guys so much.
2:00:51If you enjoyed the show please try to show me a little love.
2:00:54My name is Ginger. Thank you.
2:01:01Thank you, thank you so much.
2:01:03Thank you.
2:01:05Ladies, you're awesome, you're wonderful.
2:01:07Thank you guys.
2:01:12Darlene: You were really, really good.
2:01:16I saw a whole new side of you today, a whole new side.
2:01:20Ginger: I think, maybe, you just saw me for the first time.
2:01:26Darlene: Maybe.
2:01:28Preconceptions frequently get in the way.
2:01:34Ginger: Mom, this is Chaos.
2:01:36He sure looks like it...
2:01:37Ginger: That is his name.
2:01:38No preconceptions, remember?
2:01:42Chaos, meet my mother.
2:01:46Darlene: Nice to meet you.
2:01:47Chaos: Honored.
2:01:52Ginger: I'm staying at his place, by the way.
2:01:54Darlene: Don't tell me. La-la-la-la.
2:01:55Ginger: Yeah, you pretend like you don't know.
2:01:58I found her and my wannabe fiance in bed together last night.
2:02:01Darlene: Oh for God's sakes,
2:02:02don't be telling everyone.
2:02:05Chaos: You've got a whole secret world going on.
2:02:06Ginger: No, it's her secret world.
2:02:08I just happened to grow up in it.
2:02:11Darlene: I love you.
2:02:16Ginger: I love you.
2:02:19Darlene: I'm very proud of you.
2:02:25Ginger: We'll just let the winds of time flow between us.
2:02:33(energetic music)
