(distant chatter continues)

(in French): English or French? - English is fine.

(in English): Super. Let's muck this out once more for fun.

The bear...

bursts out of the trailer, runs across frame,

and meets one of you on the other side of the frame.

(in French): That good?

(in English): Which one of you? - Olivier.

- Go there now, we're ready to roll.

Background atmosphere's in place.

We're gonna do this in three steps.

Step one, I call background action.

Background does background things.

Step two, I call actor action. Actors do actor things.

Step three, I call bear action.

Bear does bear things.

(in French): You understand, my friend?

(in English): Who's getting the bear?

(in French): Bob, let's go.

(in English): Go there now, we're ready to roll.

(in Patois): All right, boss. - Mm-hmm.

You guys did The Revenant.

And Legends of the Fall, that's so cool.

(Edward): Why aren't we rolling?!

(sighs)

- I am glad to be working with you.

(woman): Hurry up!

- Pictures up!

(male crew member): All right, pictures up!

- Pow. Obama.

- What? - Scratched.

- For what?

- Walking over a handicapped parking spot.

- So? - That's a hate crime now.

- Mm, good, he's a monster.

- Truly no one is safe anymore.

- Sorry, did you just say that Obama is a monster?

I'm not sure that's appropriate.

- Appropriate would be "demon."

- Bit dramatic, Edgar.

- It's Edwin. - It's Edward.

Dramatic would be "cacodemon."

- Barack Obama?

- No, big cock Bahama.

- Barack Bahama... Barack Obama was a good president.

He's a good man.

- That is a very socially acceptable opinion you have.

- Moments away, Edward.

- Are you looking for someone to agree with

your socially acceptable opinion?

- It's a widely acknowledged fact.

- Potato-potahto.

- Actors, to your first positions.

- What will you do if someone disagrees

with your socially acceptable opinion?

- Actors, to your first positions, please.

- How did you get so far in this business

being such an arrogant piece of-

(All): Shh...

(sound technician): Sound is speeding!

(female camera assistant): Scene seven, take one.

A camera mark!

Mark it.

- Background ready?

(male crew member): Atmosphere ready!

(Kathy): Timothy and Rose, ready?

- Timothy and Rose have been ready all morning, Carrie.

- It's Katie. - It's Kathy.

(trilling lips)

- Ha! Ha!

Hoo!

(Timothy vocalizing)

(clearing throat)

Ah. Hm.

- No one talking, no one walking.

There is a bear on set.

And background action!

Actor action!

(exhales sharply)

- Are you sure? - Yes.

- You don't sound sure.

- Blake, I'm sure.

- Bella, I know I dragged you all the way out here,

and I feel terrible about it,

but if we don't save this bear...

- Hey.

Hey.

Nobody dragged me here.

I'm on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory

of the Misquam-Wanishwa and Cowlakut First Nations

because I want to be.

(birds cawing)

I want to be with you.

(radio static) - Is the bear ready?

(papers rustling)

(whispering): Okay.

(radio static) Action bear.

(birds cawing)

- I wanna be with you, too.

(radio static) - Bear action.

(birds cawing)

(radio static) Bear action.

- They don't hear you. Action! Bear!

(Kathy): What are you doing? (All): Shh...

(Edward): Losing daylight.

(Kathy): Oh, you're losing something.

- There's no kiss in the script here but I could, like,

improv something if you want.

- Action! Bear!

(loud crash) (everyone gasps)

(crew member): Oh, my God!

(in French): Please leave.

(birds cawing)

(in English): You sure this is the road in?

- I'm not sure there's a road in at all.

- Hot start, Alex.

- And what are you contributing to the situation?

- I'm watching you hold your phone over your head

like a fucking idiot.

- I can't get a signal.

- So we don't even get to see the bear?

(Alex): Not today. - It's a doc on a bear,

but we don't get to see the bear?

(Alex): I said, not today. - But we get to see it?

(Alex): We get to see it, shut up.

- Winnie the Pooh was kind of a pussy, eh?

- It's a doc on the people behind the bear, Ricky.

And it's our- (both): Ticket to Sundance.

- Yep, three docs later, you're still saying it.

- Third time's a charm.

- Film festivals are a wank.

- This family's legendary.

Pillars of the Canadian film industry.

- Oh, don't pretend the Canadian aspect

means shit, Alex. All you care about

is getting noticed in the US.

- They're the best in the business.

And they want us.

- 'Cause we're the best.

- I believe so. - We're the cheapest.

- That too.

(bird cawing)

All right, let's go.

- You sure this is the road in?

- I'm not sure there's a road in at all.

But this is the one, Ricky!

- Is that Gabby?

(birds cawing)

(in French): I've gotta pee.

(in English): Oh, uh, yeah, just need you

to stay on your mark for two...

(urine splashing)

(splashing continues)

Um, Andr�e?

Are you gonna speak French all through the filming

of the documentary?

(in French): Yes.

(in English): Do you speak English?

(in French): Yes.

(in English): I wonder if it might be better

for you to speak English.

It would make the film more accessible

to a broader English-speaking audience.

(in French): I don't care.

(toilet flushes)

(in English): I stopped taking French in grade nine.

- You look like a real dumb fuck now.

- Can you translate? - I'll have to.

- Thanks. - Shouldn't have quit

piano either. - Shut up.

- You'd be swimming in ass.

(in French): Okay, let's go.

(in English): Camera set. Sound is... pee-ding.

- Okay. Um, I wrote down some questions

to help us get the ball rolling.

(in French): My name is Andr�e Thibault.

I am the youngest of four children in my family.

(soft guitar music) My youngest brother is Olivier.

Olivier Thibault.

My oldest brother is Cedric.

Cedric Thibault.

And my middle brother is Gabby.

Gabby Thibault.

He is my favourite.

(Alex, in English): And what is special

about your family, Andr�e?

- Your name is Alesk?

(Alex): Yes.

- Please be quiet.

(in French): We, the Thibault's, are fourth generation

bear wranglers for film sets.

Any movie you've ever seen, if there was a bear,

there was a Thibault.

Grizzly Adams, The Edge, The Great Outdoors, The Revenant...

we even consulted on Ted.

But our crowning achievement was Legends of the Fall.

This year marks the 100 year anniversary

of our family in film.

It will be our last.

(? Phoenix Rising ? by Calum Graham)

(roaring)

Bears are sensitive.

They react negatively to anger. Bears need calm.

In recent years, film sets have become hostile.

Anger and conflict and fighting.

This environment is not safe for a bear.

They are too sensitive.

Too reactive.

(roaring) (screaming)

They are wild animals.

There is too much room for disaster

in this poisoned setting.

As bear wranglers, we can no longer be responsible

for the certain outcome of it.

So, after this movie, we retire.

And set the bear free.

(in English): Who was the man this morning on the motorcycle?

(in French): I don't know his name.

I send my tits to men on the internet.

And then they come here,

and I fuck them.

(door opens and slams)

(Gabby): Andr�e?

I'm here.

(Gabby): Andr�e?

Upstairs.

(footsteps approaching)

- Quoi?

- What are you doing?

- What? - What's up?

- I want a coffee. - There's none left.

Take mine.

(slurping quietly)

- Thank you.

- Please tell Olivier to fix the sign.

(footsteps receding)

(in English): Where's he going?

(in French): Into the forest.

(in English): Into the bush. - For what?

(in French): He's building a fort.

(in English): Hey, Gabby, a fren got a Pomeranian, okay?

- Okay.

- I say, be careful.

A Pomeranian don't get along with Pom-Iraqi.

(Andr�e): Hey!

(birds cawing)

(Andr�e): This is Cedric.

And Gabby.

(in French): Hello.

(in English): Where's Olivier?

- I'm Alex, this is Ricky.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Alesk, Hicky...

(in French): Like that. - That's it.

- And that's all. (in English): Where's the fort?

- What fort?

- What fort?

(in French): What fort?

(in English): Andr�e said you were building a fort.

- Yeah, but first you have to build

the ladder up to the fort.

(birds cawing)

Gabby, don't date a girl with a lazy eye, okay?

- Okay.

- She's seeing someone on the side.

(hammering echoes) (Alex clears throat)

- Gabby doesn't say much.

(sighs) (in French): Non...

He used to.

(in English): He used to.

- But not anymore?

- Non.

- Why?

(in French): New Hollywood.

(in English): New Hollywood?

(Andr�e, in French): We live in strange times.

(in English): Spencer, you were recently banned

from several airlines over a series of mid-flight incidents

involving your emotional support Komodo dragon.

- Isn't it funny how quick they are to blame the dragon?

- Yes, but surely you bear some responsibility for this.

- It's the responsibility of the airline, Ben,

to seat my emotional support Komodo dragon

a safe distance from the emotional support goat,

wild pig, and traditional livestock of others.

(Andr�e, in French): There is a lack of sense in people.

(in English): An apology is due.

- Action is due. - I agree.

- The Japanese anime community,

they have a real problem here, George.

- Pikachu just the tip of the iceberg?

- Pok�mon should be voiced by a real Pok�mon!

(Andr�e, in French): There is a lack of rationality.

(in English): Yeah, of course, I have one,

and soon, everybody will have one.

- I don't know if everyone will have a robot,

Jesse Camacho.

- Everybody will have one, Jay Onrait, and you know what?

On behalf of mine,

stop using "pew-pew" and "beep-bop."

It's offensive.

(Andr�e, in French): My brothers live in the bush.

Gabby and Cedric don't watch TV.

They don't see the news. They don't use the internet.

(tapping)

They build forts in trees.

(in English): You're fucking right

we're gonna cut off the cops!

It's only a matter of when.

- Can you calm down?

(Andr�e, in French): But they are wise and kind.

They just want to help.

(in English): We're gonna take that police money,

and we're gonna reallocate it.

- No then, eh?

- The violence stops when the reallocating starts.

Stop talking, start reallocating.

- Feels like you're getting even less calm.

- Just shut up and reallocate it.

- Okay.

- We're gonna take that money away from police

and reallocate it to mediators.

We're gonna reallocate it

to our mental health,

where it belongs!

We all on the same page here?

Hey!

We all on the same page here?

Yeah.

Judging by your costumes, I didn't get the last rewrite.

- Gabby. - Cedric.

- Olivier. - Okay.

- Okay.

- We are hearing you have a problem.

- A what?

- A problem.

(Cameron): Who are you?

- Gabby.

- Cedric. - Olivier.

- No, but who are you?

- The bear wranglers.

- Oh, wait, I heard about these guys.

Is it true that they- - They can hear you.

- We wanna help you be effish-shunt.

- Strat-taygic.

- We wanna help you prepurr. - For your problem.

- It ain't my problem, guy!

- Opaleye!

- Caline! - Tabarnoosh.

- End of debate, end of discussion.

It's time for action,

and the only acceptable action

is to cut off the cops now!

- Okay, perfick.

- It's not a negotiation.

- Hey, we no wanna nega-shate, okay?

- Okay? - We no wanna nega-shayshun.

- What's your idea?

- Okay. - Okay.

(in French): But before that, what is...

(in English): ..."cut off"?

- Defund.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Now listen to me complittlee.

If you wanna defund la police, okay?

- Okay?

- You call them and tell them that

so they don't use their fund on you.

- Pardon? - Call the police.

- You call them and tell them

you don't want their help anymore.

- What do you mean?

(in French): Call the police! Jesus Christ! Fuck!

(both): Oh!

(in English): So you call the police and...

- You call them and tell them

you don't want their help ever, okay?

- Okay? - And give them, um, um...

(in French): How do you say...

(in English): ...permissions to block

your phone number complittlee.

- So you cannot call them ever again.

- Then you put a sticker on your house

that say I don't want police help ever.

So if a crime commit at your place, the police come,

they see the sticker, and they know

you don't want their help ever.

(Gabby): Evers. - No securi-titty

even in case of a fatali-titty.

- For you, they turn off the si-rons.

- You put a sticker on your house?

- Ben ouais, you put a sticker on your house.

- But not a sticker book sticker.

- Mais non, not like Bugs Bunny or Star Wars sticker book.

- Lion King, Aladdin, Peter Pan...

- But the sticker have an adhesive

suitable for metal siding, wood, or brick.

The sticker stick to your house.

(Olivier): It would stick to stucco.

- The sticker would stick to your house, okay,

so the police know you don't want their help ever, okay?

- Okay? So then when all the people

that say cut off la police call la police and tell them

they don't want their help, okay?

- Okay? - You will have less people

to help, which mean you will need less police.

- Therefore, less money for la police.

- The sticker would stick.

Don't worry about the sticker.

- And then the money you save can go to your mental healths.

- Where it belongs.

(distant chatter)

(Andr�e, in French): Gabby's problems really began

when it became no longer acceptable

to disagree with someone.

If you disagree with people now, they want to silence you.

(Polly, in English): Women are always right!

Women are always right!

Right?

(in French): What?

(in English): Women should be taken at their word,

whatever the situation,

whatever the circumstance.

- Okay. - Okay.

(in French): Why?

(in English): Because they are women.

And women are always right!

- Okay. - Okay.

(in French): Okay.

(in English): So we understand each other?

- Complittlee. - Defahnetlee.

(Polly): Good. - Okay, perfick.

- Women are always right.

- Even her? (pirate woman): Argh!

She's hornswoggled me doubloons!

- Yes.

Women are always right.

- Even her?

- Repent! Repent!

- Yes.

Women are always right.

- Even her?

- Happy Thanksgiving!

- Yes.

- But she put dat bird in her billy.

- Women are always-

(shrieking) - Avast ye!

(in French): If you disagree with people now,

they want to ruin your life.

(in English): How dare you question women?

Where is the producer? I am getting you fired.

Leave it to bear fuckers to question women.

- Opalye. - Caline.

- Tabarnoosh. - Where is the producer?

Which one?

- The gay one.

- The gay one...? The gay one?!

Ugh, I can't wait to tell him you said that!

Who is the producer?

- You've reached the office of the producer.

Please hold.

? Fly the Jolly Roger ?

? Ye son of a biscuit eater ?

(in French): We have lost the ability

to listen without judgement.

(indistinct chatter)

- Tabarnac...

(in English): Can you, uh, squat a bit?

Just inside the leg... - Sacrement.

- He could've been killed! - We could've been killed.

- This is unacceptable.

(Kathy): What just happened? - Why are his pants down?

(in French): You must speak, Gabby.

You have to. - Hold on, Bob.

(in English): I think you have a leave in there.

- Why are his pants still down?

- An ambulance is on its way.

(in Patois): Relax. It's under control.

(in English): We're still gonna get you checked out.

- Dat maad...

- Why did you hire these guys?

Everybody knows about these guys!

- This is unacceptable.

- What just happened?

- Why are his pants fucking down?!

- Das enough profani-titty!

(in French): Speak.

(birds cawing)

(in English): He was pooping with it.

- What?

- He was pooping with the bear.

- Like, shitting?

- Why... Why was he pooping with the bear?

- We all poop with the bear.

(growling)

Bears no wanna truss, man.

(roaring) They are wild.

For the bear to truss us,

it must see us do all the things that it do.

It is important.

(in French): It's very, very important that...

(in English): ...the bear never feel alone.

- Oh.

- What else do you do that the bears do?

(sniffing)

(Gabby): Eat berries.

(eating loudly)

And fishes.

(splash)

And scratch our back on trees.

(bear growls softly)

- Okay.

So you shit with the bear,

eat berries and fishes,

and scratch your back on trees.

- Guess I can get my brain around that.

- You are devoted to the bear.

(in French): He's my little sweetheart.

- He's my little sweetie.

(in English): Unacceptable.

- So, if your guy was shitting with the bear,

which you routinely do,

then why did it attack him?

(in French): Because you were yelling.

(shouting, in English): What?

- Because you yell.

(bird cawing in distance)

(sharp knocking)

(Rose): Timothy, can I come hang out with you?

(knocking)

- Yeah, of course.

(door opens) - I'm really shaken up.

- This is unacceptable. - Completely unacceptable!

- So unacceptable. - Absolutely unacceptable.

- Like, I cannot think of anything more unacceptable.

- We can't accept this.

- It's unacceptable-

(knocking)

(both, yelling): What?!

- Hey.

It's Alex.

I'm directing the documentary on the Thibaults.

- Who?

(Alex): The bear wranglers.

- Oh, don't get me fucking started on them.

- Um, Timothy,

we had you scheduled for a bit of blah-blah

for the documentary- - No, no, no.

No fucking way, Timothy.

- We could totally do this another time.

- We just witnessed a bear attack, Alan.

- It's Aaron. - It's Alex.

- I'm not saying shit about those guys, all right?

You don't wanna know the truth about those guys, man.

- Mm-mm. - Trust me.

- I was really just coming to say...

I'm sorry this happened to you.

You're big Hollywood stars.

- Yeah, he is. (Alex): You deserve better.

You say I don't wanna know the truth about these guys.

I do.

It's my job.

And right in this moment, I don't think

there's anyone better to speak on the Thibaults than you.

I can see you're angry, and that is appropriate.

Because this is unacceptable.

- Austin? - It's Adam.

- It's Alex.

- What are you doing with this documentary?

- Pardon?

- Like, is it a festival piece,

or just some stupid... Canadian... thing?

- Sundance.

- Sound is speeding.

- And we're rolling.

- Rolling.

- Timothy, Rose...

What's the truth?

(whispering): I think you...

I think you should go first.

(whispering): I feel like you should go first.

(Timothy whispering): I feel like...

I really feel like you should probably go first.

- Timothy...

- Rose...

- There's always been talk about the bear wranglers.

(ominous music) My friend Cameron

worked with them a couple years back.

- There's literally zero use for cops in society!

- There was the same talk about them then.

- My friend Polly worked with them back in 2017.

- Give me one example of a woman being wrong. I'll wait.

- And there was the same talk about them then.

- Mm-hmm.

- What sort of talk?

(Kathy): Their methods.

The way that they get the bear to do what they want it to do.

- Have you worked with them before?

- No. But...

(Edward): I have!

I worked with them on Legends of the Fall.

- So you're a bit more qualified to speak on their... methods.

(Edward): Yep. And you wanna know something?

I hear they had Brad Pitt doing it, too.

- This family's been doing this for 100 years, right?

- The family that can get the bear to do anything

you need it to do.

- So I think it's safe to assume

that this method goes all the way back, chief.

- I mean, they say where there's smoke,

there's fire, but I mean, you wouldn't believe it.

It's just too- - Unbelievable.

- But then you see it for yourself.

- Mm-hmm.

- A man walks in to get the bear,

he has his pants up.

But when he comes back out...

he has his pants down.

- You can't help but wonder...

- If it walks like a duck,

if it quacks like a duck...

- After all these years and all this talk...

you see something like that,

it's very hard not to think...

that maybe, just maybe...

- Maybe what?

- Mm.

- Ah.

(ominous music stops)

- They're fucking it.

- What?

- They're fucking it.

- What?

(both): They're fucking the bear.

- So now we've heard it from four different people.

(Ricky): Timothy had totally just shit

in that trailer before we filmed.

- Question is, what do we do with it?

- Pretending we couldn't smell it was almost

more uncomfortable than the bear stuff.

(loud laughter)

(clink)

(laughter continues)

Do you really think they're fucking the bear?

- Of course they're not fucking the bear.

- We just listened to four people say

they're fucking the bear, Alex.

How do you know they're not fucking the bear?

- Because it's a bear.

- What are we doing here?

Our reputations are at stake.

- Give me a sec, I'm thinking.

- I mean, do we really wanna align ourselves with 100 years

of bear fuckers?

- How fascinating that the Thibaults think

the New Hollywood people are the crazy ones.

- New Hollywood people are crazy.

- And the New Hollywood people

think the Thibaults are the crazy ones.

- I've gotta say, a documentary on this family

is not gonna get us to Sundance. And if this one

doesn't get us to Sundance, I'm joining the union.

Fuck this indie life, I could have benefits-

- A documentary on this family

isn't going to get us to Sundance.

But we've got a unique opportunity here.

On one side, we've got this family

that might be fucking a bear.

Their last movie ever in the film business.

On the other side, we've got New Hollywood, who think that-

- Pok�mon should be voiced by real Pok�mon.

- This presents an interesting case study.

- This has got festival darling written all over it.

- Official selection.

- Do you think John Mulaney goes to Sundance?

- So you're in? - Almost fingered

my friend Steph at Tribeca.

- I need to shake the rust off my French.

- I'll translate while you do.

But just so we're all clear as mud,

the subject of this documentary is...

- To find out who's crazier.

New Hollywood?

Or guys that fuck bears?

- We should do something.

- Do something about what?

- About what they're doing to that bear.

- Oh, come on, Timothy.

(Timothy): We're celebrities!

(sighs) - You are.

- We need a cause.

- I'm not famous anymore.

- This could be our cause.

What?

- What about what you did?

- I told you that in confidence. - Yeah, okay.

But at the rate things are going right now,

it's only a matter of time

before they come for literally everybody

for literally anything.

- I think what they're doing is more pressing.

- And what are they doing, Timothy?
