00:00What?
00:01Did you see this?
00:03Look what Jamie wrote.
00:05Oh, my God.
00:07He knows his letters.
00:09There are actual words here.
00:11I mean, it's rude, and it's not clear what he's communicating,
00:14but Jamie is a genius.
00:16There's my homework.
00:19What?
00:20I do my homework once in a while.
00:25Yes, no, maybe.
00:29I don't know.
00:32Can you repeat the question?
00:36You're not the boss of me now.
00:40You're not the boss of me now.
00:42You're not the boss of me now,
00:44and you're not so big.
00:48You're not the boss of me now.
00:52Once every six months, Mom wakes us up at 5am, shoves us into the car and makes us go to
01:15the outlet stores.
01:16I tell you, I am never disappointed in Value Village.
01:20No other place in the county has such a selection of irregulars.
01:23Are these made in some country where people aren't symmetrical?
01:28Stop complaining!
01:29If it weren't for Value Village, most of this family would have to run around naked.
01:33That place is all that separates us from the apes.
01:50Oh, for crying out loud.
01:51What?
01:52I was not.
01:53You look great.
01:54The Payson's outlet has 48 packs of paper towels for half price.
01:58I wish we had more room in this car.
02:00I knew we should have put the rack on top.
02:04What's wrong with all of you?
02:06We're just thinking about all those towels, honey.
02:08I mean, you're not the only one who loves a bargain.
02:12Come on!
02:16What are you doing?
02:21Saving your minds from turning into mush.
02:23You've been sitting on that couch watching TV for hours.
02:26So what?
02:27There's nothing else to do.
02:28There's never anything to do around here.
02:30Because you have no imaginations because you sit in front of that idiot box all day long.
02:34Your mother's right.
02:35It's a sad day when three healthy boys can't think of anything to do with a beautiful Saturday.
02:41You could take a walk.
02:42You could roll a hoop.
02:43You can start a rock collection.
02:45There.
02:46That's three ideas in five seconds.
02:47I hope you're embarrassed.
02:48You boys have no idea how lucky you are.
02:51The day will come where you won't be able to complain about having nothing to do.
02:54That's right.
02:55You'll have responsibilities and a career and children.
02:59And then you'll ask yourself, hey, where's my boredom now?
03:02All right, all right.
03:03Just stop lecturing us.
03:07God forbid those three should have to make their own fun.
03:18I hate to admit it, but Mom challenged us to use our creativity.
03:22I think we're better for it.
03:24How much time do we have before the lights come on?
03:27We've got a few minutes.
03:29Let's give her crazy eyes, Dracula fangs, and a giant fart cloud.
03:35Feels done.
03:36We went to all the trouble to get up here.
03:38Let's really think about Reese.
03:44What are you writing?
03:46I want Reese.
03:49Come on.
03:50You know she's thinking it.
03:51How are we supposed to get away with this if you put your name up there?
03:54Relax.
03:55We're miles from our house.
03:56Nobody here knows us.
04:12Oh my god!
04:15Did you hear something?
04:17What are you boys doing up there?
04:19It's Mom.
04:20How'd she know where to find us?
04:23I told you she's got tracking devices in our feelings.
04:26If you two geniuses had ripped them out like I did, we wouldn't be in this mess.
04:30Maybe she didn't see us.
04:31Reese!
04:32How'd you get down here this instant?
04:35Mrs?
04:36I don't know who you are thinking we are.
04:39Your boys are very different boys than we are being.
04:43Oh no!
04:46Where's the back door in this thing?
04:48It's a billboard.
04:49We are so dead!
04:50This time she'll finish us!
04:51What are we going to do?
04:52Oh god!
04:53Oh god!
04:54Why do billboards have to be so visible?
04:55Calm down now!
04:56Reese!
04:57Give me your pocket knife!
04:58But if you miss her, you'll only make her madder!
04:59What are you doing?
05:00Hold on.
05:01I know that look.
05:02He's using his brain.
05:03We can't come down because we are protesting this offensive depiction of women!
05:10What?
05:11What?
05:12We've come up here to make a difference in the world.
05:14We've come up here to make a difference in the world.
05:17What?
05:18What?
05:19What?
05:20What?
05:21What?
05:22What?
05:23What?
05:24What?
05:25What?
05:26What?
05:27What?
05:28What?
05:29What?
05:30What?
05:31What?
05:32What?
05:33Why can't they make a difference in the world?
05:34Yeah!
05:35To speak for women like this one who can't speak for themselves?
05:38Yeah!
05:39Because they're billboards!
05:40Shut up!
05:42We're not coming down into women everywhere, get the respect they deserve.
05:46No matter how long it takes, we're staying up here!
05:51Oh for the love of god, I don't know who you think you're fooling!
05:55It's about time!
05:57Thank you boys!
05:58God Bless you!
06:00Oh, no! She's talking to the cops!
06:06Wait, that's good.
06:08If she gets a hold of us, she'll have to beat us within the law.
06:10All these people showing up is making her madder and madder.
06:13Why didn't we just climb down right away?
06:16What were you thinking?
06:18No, I panicked.
06:19I want to know what you're going to do to get my boys down.
06:23It's a complicated situation, ma'am.
06:25We have very specific guidelines for how to deal with political protesters.
06:30They're not political protesters.
06:33Those boys don't give a damn about women's rights.
06:35If they did, they'd clean up their rooms once in a while!
06:39This is hooliganism!
06:41Sorry it took me so long.
06:42Eight different babysitters turned me down.
06:45You know Jamie's on a website?
06:47Where are the boys?
06:48I told you!
06:50Oh, good God!
06:51I thought it was a metaphor.
06:54I'm sure you have ladders.
06:56I'm sure you have people who climb them.
06:59So get one of them up there and get my children down!
07:04Ma'am, let me explain something about the police commissioner.
07:07This is an election year.
07:09We've had a lot of unflattering video on the news lately.
07:12The Chang case, the Jefferson case, the Rodriguez case.
07:16All he has left is the white vote.
07:19So he's not gonna let a bunch of video cameras tape us manhandling those children.
07:24But if there's anything else we can do for you...
07:27Yeah, how about you call a cop?
07:29Sorry, officer.
07:30It's not you.
07:31It's me.
07:32I have a severe gambling problem.
07:35Lost the house playing pie gal.
07:37She's a saint.
07:37Would you excuse us a moment?
07:39Honey, calm down.
07:40You know what pepper spray feels like.
07:42Let's just give it an hour or two.
07:44When these people lose interest and the crowd disperses, we'll get the boys down.
07:49That's right, Steve.
07:56And I'm here at the scene of this dramatic demonstration.
08:00In an age of cynicism when it said that young people don't care about the important issue.
08:05These three youngsters seem to have struck a nerve among like-minded citizens.
08:10We've had enough of this degrading depiction.
08:13Did you see all the news fans?
08:16Lyle at seven told me to get out of a shot.
08:20Well, he is one handsome man.
08:22Over here we have the proud mother of these three young protesters.
08:26What do you want the nation to know about your boys?
08:29No comment.
08:33Sook, you must be the father.
08:35Can we get some comment from you?
08:37I don't know that I really want to sound awesome.
08:40How do you account for your son's extraordinary sensitivity to women's issues?
08:44Well, Dinah, in our house we emphasize the rights of all people.
08:50I've tried to pass along what I like to call core values.
08:54Equality, respect, compassion, nutrition.
09:00We have something called the Clean Plate Club.
09:06What's that cop doing?
09:08I think he's throwing something.
09:09Oh, God!
09:10What is it?
09:15It's a cell phone.
09:20Hello?
09:21Hello?
09:22Mom?
09:23Before you say anything, I want you to listen carefully.
09:26There are a couple ways we can handle this.
09:28If you come down right now, I can go as low as three weeks in your room.
09:33If there's no more trouble, you get two meals a day and enough light to read by.
09:38You should think about this very carefully.
09:40But you've only got ten minutes until this offer expires.
09:44Then all bets are off.
09:46Oh, my God.
09:54I know.
09:57She's negotiating.
09:59She's never negotiated anything before.
10:03We found a weakness.
10:05All these people in the TV cameras.
10:08She must be scared.
10:10I didn't think this was possible.
10:12Suddenly, she looks so small.
10:19People, the battle before us may be wrong.
10:23But we will not stop until we end the oppression.
10:27Women of the world, unite!
10:29I am your mother, and I say this has gone on long enough.
10:58Don't you have stampers with tranquilizer guns or a giant net?
11:02What do I pay taxes for?
11:04No, the life of a crusader is not an easy one.
11:07But once that fire is lit, there is no putting it out.
11:11Feminism must be very important to your boys.
11:15Now, please, they're not my boys.
11:18They're my children.
11:20If you feel the need to label them, I'm sorry for you.
11:23It's high time we showed a national audience.
11:26This is national.
11:30That we're still producing heroes in this country.
11:34And three of them are up there.
11:37Yeah!
11:38Yeah!
11:38It's about time!
11:42It's your son's, man.
11:45Well, you're cutting it awfully close.
11:47I gave you ten minutes, and you've taken nearly nine and a half.
11:50We decided we're not coming down.
11:53What?
11:54We discussed it as a family.
11:56See, we figure you're as mad now as you possibly can ever get.
12:00We've reached a point where nothing we do can make it any worse.
12:02So every hour we stay up here is another hour of freedom.
12:06Plus, another 30 or 40 supporters added to our fan base.
12:11Malcolm, let's set aside the fact that you know you've done wrong.
12:16Let's ignore that you're pretending to have principles you don't have just to get out of it.
12:21You have to come down sometime.
12:24And life is long.
12:26That's what's nice about being young.
12:29We really don't think that far ahead.
12:31This whole thing's been kind of eye-opening.
12:33If nothing else, we've all had a lesson on the ephemeral nature of power.
12:38Power's a funny thing.
12:40It's when you think you have it that you're in trouble.
12:43Now, at point.
12:44Historically.
12:45But on a philosophical level, Mom, we've already won.
12:49We're free.
12:51And no matter what happens in A, we both know it.
12:56I think it's getting cold up here.
13:12I don't think we should do this anymore.
13:14I don't know who we think we're kidding.
13:18We're not going to be able to win this.
13:20Dewey! Don't look into her eyes!
13:22Huh?
13:24What just happened?
13:25Damn it.
13:27I remember my mother, smart as any man, down on her knees in the kitchen, scrubbing that
13:34floor till it's shine.
13:36I think I was seven when I made a promise to myself and to all women.
13:39Hal?
13:40Yes.
13:42Oh, my God.
13:43I saw you on TV tonight, and I couldn't believe it was you.
13:48But you kept talking and talking and talking, and I realized it had to be you.
13:56Wendy, how long's it been?
13:5823 years, Hal.
14:01You know, I remember the last time I saw you down to the day and the minute.
14:05I can tell you exactly where I was standing.
14:07Wendy, that was so long ago.
14:10I've got a whole new life now.
14:12You can't just come here and expect...
14:16Promises were made, Hal.
14:18And now that I've found you, I'm not just going to go away.
14:23Look, I know that there are some issues that probably need resolving.
14:29Listen, honey, let's get a cup of coffee way over there.
14:35No, I have an idea.
14:40Is this going up to the boys?
14:41Yes, it's some baked goods, some jackets for when it gets cold, and my phone number.
14:48Oh, this is wonderful.
14:50You certainly went to a lot of trouble.
14:53My boys are just going to be so appreciative of your kindness.
14:59I think the Green Valley Women's Collective makes better banana bread than the feminist for change.
15:06According to the rapper, we're the first male hands to touch this.
15:10You know, except for Mom and Dad and Frances and Jamie,
15:14I think this has really brought our family together.
15:17What are you doing?
15:21What?
15:22You know what?
15:24Why do you get the one with the cherry?
15:26I just grabbed one, I don't care.
15:27If you don't care, then let me have it.
15:30I already took it.
15:31Hey, I'm here too.
15:33I want the cherry.
15:34You always do this.
15:35You only want it because I have it.
15:38I don't care what you have.
15:39Reese, you're not the center of everything.
15:44Wait.
15:46Why would they only put a cherry on one cupcake?
15:52This is Mom.
15:53Mom.
15:57There may be those who will try to drive a wedge between us.
16:02But if we learn nothing else tonight, we will learn to stand together.
16:07We have a pretty sweet deal up here.
16:23Food, drinks.
16:24Every one of our needs is being taken care of.
16:27Every one.
16:28Man, they better stop sending up brand muffins.
16:35Hey!
16:35You may want to burn this basket.
16:39How are the books they gave us?
16:40The feminist joke book's a little ham-fisted, but these fairy tales are interesting.
16:46In this one, Cinderella tells the prince he's sapping her woman's strength.
16:50And she pushes him aside to create a matriarchy with fluid gender roles.
16:56Can you believe these cows actually think we're on their side?
16:59We love you, boys!
17:01Right on, sister!
17:03Check out that pig.
17:05You don't have to talk about them like that.
17:07They've been really nice to us.
17:09Yeah, and they really believe in this stuff.
17:11That is such a load.
17:14Every woman down there is just here because they're jealous.
17:17Of what?
17:17Of the fact that they're not hot enough to be strippers.
17:21They act like they're all offended, but really they're just mad about their own giant butts.
17:26Believe me, in their heart of hearts, every woman wants to be her.
17:32What about mom?
17:33We're not talking about moms.
17:35We're talking about women.
17:37So all women want to be strippers.
17:39There are no women in the world who want to be doctors or lawyers or anything like that.
17:44Cut the act, Malcolm.
17:45They can't hear you.
17:46Just because they look like dogs doesn't mean they hear like dogs.
17:51I'm sleeping on the other side.
17:55Kamara, I was just being honest.
17:58I'm so wet.
18:00Where are the heroes who fight for a cause?
18:09Who live by the code of their own moral laws?
18:15Who stand up to tyrants and fight the police?
18:20Like Gandhi and Martin and Bobby and Rosa and Malcolm and Dewey and Reese.
18:30And Malcolm and Dewey and Reese.
18:42Reese.
18:42Reese.
18:45Reese.
18:50Hi.
18:50I've been wanting to talk to you.
18:53Really?
18:54Yeah, sugar.
18:56I had to wait for your brothers to go to sleep.
18:59You don't want to share me, do you?
19:02Everyone's mad at me.
19:04Malcolm and Dewey think I'm a jerk.
19:06You're not a jerk.
19:08You're just little.
19:10Oh, I think you're cute as a bug.
19:15Do you want me to kiss you?
19:18Um, yes, ma'am.
19:20Oh, my God.
19:21Oh, my God.
19:23Oh, my God.
19:24Oh, my God.
19:25Oh, my God.
19:25Oh, my God.
19:29Wow.
19:31Damn tootin' wow.
19:35So, will you take off your giant top?
19:38Do you have a giant dollar?
19:41I'll get a whole bunch if you come back again.
19:43I'll come back every night if you want.
19:46You're so great.
19:48The girls at school won't even talk to me.
19:51Listen.
19:52If they're not willing to talk to you or dance on a pole,
19:56they're not really your friends.
19:58You don't need them.
20:00You have me.
20:02I'm perfect.
20:03I'm the only woman in the world for you, Reese.
20:07You are?
20:08Of course.
20:10I'm 60 feet tall.
20:11My skin is 5 inches thick.
20:14No matter how creepy and insensitive and thoughtless you are,
20:18you can't hurt me.
20:20That's all I ever wanted.
20:24Why aren't all women like you?
20:27Well, I'm not real, Sugar.
20:30Oh, yeah.
20:31You just dreamed me up as a super sexy way to face the fact
20:36that you're going to live the rest of your life alone.
20:40But that's not for sure.
20:42Is it?
20:43And you know the saddest part?
20:45You're going to wake up before you can think of anything really good to do with me.
20:50Wait, we can't just give up on this.
20:54Wait!
20:55Don't leave me!
20:58Don't leave me!
20:59Right now, the mother of the protesters is with a police commissioner pleading for her brave boys
21:08whose sacrifice continues to inspire so many.
21:13Those boys are like dogs.
21:15I have to get them on their backs just to reestablish my dominance.
21:19Look, this whole protest thing is a lie anyway.
21:22They don't believe a word of it.
21:24If it's an issue of liability, I'll sign any waiver.
21:27Just get them down here!
21:28Do I appear to look concerned?
21:31What?
21:33Yeah, sure you look concerned.
21:35Oh, thank God.
21:36My handler said that I don't pull it off.
21:39Can't to the mouth.
21:41I want those boys down!
21:44Believe me, there is nothing I would like more than to tear them down and crack a few heads.
21:52But in an election year, we all have to make sacrifices.
21:56You know, this whole thing brings me back to my days on the Freedom Ride.
22:01I remember...
22:02It's fantastic!
22:03We're getting an injunction!
22:05What?
22:05The ACLU found a judge who's completely sympathetic to what your boys are doing.
22:10In two hours, we'll have an airtight court order, and your boys can stay up there for days.
22:15Even weeks!
22:23Excuse me, I have something to say.
22:26I want the world to know how proud I am of my boys for making this statement, despite
22:34the wind and the cold and little Dewey's medical condition.
22:38And I want to thank the police commissioner for letting my son stay up there, even if it
22:44means rolling the dice on a diabetic coma.
22:47It's nice to see someone who cares about principles more than they care about the life of a little
22:54boy.
22:54Come down!
22:55Come down!
22:56Come down!
22:57Come down!
22:57Come down!
22:57Come down!
22:58Come down!
22:59Come down!
23:00Come down!
23:01Come down!
23:02Come down!
23:03Come down!
23:04Come down!
23:05Welcome!
23:06Please!
23:07Welcome!
23:08Please!
23:09Oh my God!
23:10We'll have you in your mother's arms in a minute, little Dewey!
23:14Excuse me.
23:15Are you Hal's wife?
23:16Yeah, this is, uh...
23:17There's something you need to know about your husband.
23:18We both worked at the tiger shop at Macy's.
23:19One night, he got me drunk and borrowed $400 from me!
23:21What?
23:22He bought a velour suit and faked his own death.
23:23Got to pay me back.
23:24He actually blew up a phone booth!
23:25I figure with interest, it comes to about $10,000.
23:26I'm sorry, but...
