All language subtitles for Young Rock s03e11 Know Your Role.eng

- Mr. Johnson here came to our
country with a secret agenda,

to secure a trade deal

to export
our Gjelgjiughm coffee.

Gjelgjiughm will never engage
in a coffee trade deal

with the United States.

- I can't believe we're going
back home without a deal.

- Hey, it was always
a long shot.

Look at it this way.

We got to see a new country
and meet some lifelong friends.

- Randall, you've made
zero friends on this trip.

- But I did get to spend
a solid day in the museum.

Learned a ton
about Cannibal's Peak.

The things those soccer players
did to survive--

they had
these life-sized dioramas...

Hey, listen.

You tried your best.

You have no experience
in international diplomacy.

The president
just threw you in there.

People train for years
to prepare

for a situation like that.

I know.

It's just, getting back
into the political arena

and failing--again.

It's frustrating,
putting in the work

and still feeling completely
out of my element.

And honestly, it reminds me
of when I first started acting.

I was now one of the top
wrestlers in the country,

and with that distinction
came new opportunities.

Bubbles, nice, Vince.

What's the occasion?

- The WWF
has never been bigger.

And so much of our success
is thanks to you

and all you've brought
to the company.

I mean, we literally took one
of your catchphrases

and made a whole new show
called "SmackDown!"

- [chuckles]
Thank you, Vince.

It means a lot
to hear you say that.

Mm, one sec.

I hate sparkling water.
It's unnatural.

[intercom beeps]
Artie, no more bubble water.

I know I requested it.

Maybe we picked
the wrong brand.

Is this the one
with the trees on the label?

- The label says
it's from Poland.

Poland?

Artie, I can't be drinking
war-torn water.

Okay, from now on,
I'd like all my water

to be peaceful and regular.

You got it, Vince.

No problem--
[intercom beeps]

- Our ratings are
through the roof,

and there's a sense we can
attract an even wider audience

by having some
of our superstars cross over

into scripted television.

And given you're one
of our top guys,

I'd like you
to be the tip of the spear.

You mean, like, as an actor?

Are you open to the idea?

- I mean, I've never seriously
thought about it,

but what kid didn't want to be
Schwarzenegger or Stallone?

Action stars, exactly.

And the show we'd like to cast
you in isn't just action.

It's cyber-action.

You ever see the movie
"The Net"?

- No, not yet,
but it's on my list.

Oh, you got to see it.

Sandra Bullock
was always sprinting somewhere

while a computer was loading.

The tension was incredible.

Yeah, I was told
it did for computers

what "Speed 2" did for boats.

- And is Sandra gonna be
in the show?

- They didn't say,
but probably.

- I mean, I don't know
anything about acting.

Oh, don't worry.

You're gonna be playing
a wrestler,

basically a version
of yourself.

- That could be cool.
I know how to do that.

And you're okay with me
missing TV for this?

- That's the best part.
You won't miss any matches.

We'll fly you out for the shoot
and have you back next week

for "Monday Night Raw."

- Sounds like fun.
- Terrific.

[intercom beeps]
Artie!

Set a call with the network.

Dwayne's jumping
into "The Net."

Got it.

Do you want me to do that
before I change

the water order, sir, or--

- Figure it out, Artie!
[intercom beeps]

Sorry about the kid.

- Um, I-I need
to call you back.

- It can be anything
you want it to be.

That's what's
so great about it.

- Sometimes, you want
banana bread and a cheeseburger

at the same time.

- Or smoked salmon
and key lime pie.

- Oh, that is not a meal.
That's chaos.

I'm just saying,
brunch is a ridiculous concept.

[scoffs]

- Hey, babe, how was your day?
- Hey, good.

Funny thing, I met with Vince,

and our network partner
offered me an acting role

on one of their TV shows.

[both gasp]

- Yeah, it's only
for one episode,

but it's for a new show
called "The Net,"

based
on the Sandra Bullock movie.

- What?
Oh, I love her!

Do you know Sandra
is fluent in German?

She's part Samoan, 1/16.

You have to look,
but it's there.

- You know,
I was almost on the big screen.

Yes, we know, Dad.

You've told the story
a hundred times.

- You were almost in a movie?
- Well, thank you, Dany.

I considered being
in the movie "Predator,"

even made an audition tape.

I ain't got time to bleed!

Hi, I'm Rocky Johnson.
I'm 6'2", and I live in Hawaii.

- You almost played
Jesse Ventura's part?

- Yeah, lucky for him,
I never sent the tape in.

Why?

- Role didn't have
enough lines.

No meat on the bones. Pass.

- Oh, this is so exciting,
Dewey.

But I hope this doesn't mean

you're taking a break
from wrestling.

You're finally seeing
the success

you've worked so hard for.

- Don't worry, Mom.
I'm gonna do both.

Vince is fully supportive,
and he thinks

this will help the WWF develop
an even bigger fanbase.

- So what kind
of acting role is it?

- Well, Vince said
I'm playing a wrestler,

but I haven't seen
the script yet.

- Perfect.
I'm sure you'll do great.

- Absolutely.
- Fantastic.

If you see Sandra Bullock,

you ask for her autograph,
and you bring it to me.

- I will.
Okay, let's eat.

You get her autograph first.

Okay.

I was pumped for my first day
of filming "The Net,"

but honestly, I had no idea
what I was doing, since...

I've never been
on a TV set before.

Hell yeah, set's the bomb.

Your trailer okay?

I keep my LaserDisc locked up
in mine with my gun.

No, my trailer's great.

Much more privacy
than a WWF locker room.

- Totally, well,
I once meditated

for three hours in mine.

Lost an entire morning
of shooting.

Production wanted me dead,
but whatever.

I'm a director.

Sometimes with art, you gotta
go deep to find the truth.

Come on.

So uh, how's this gonna work?

This is my first time
doing this.

- So in the previous shot,
you'll exit the car

while Angela, the star/computer
programmer/your combat trainee,

watches you enter the gym
to find the crime boss

doing dumbbell curls
on a bench press.

He'll be the guy wearing
Lee jeans.

Then you'll agree to fight
his champion to the death

in an illegal gambling match

being broadcast worldwide
on the Net.

- So the crime boss
works out in jeans?

- Yeah, he's a total maniac.
- For sure.

So do I know that I'm fighting
to the death ahead of time,

or is this a trap?

I just want to make sure
I understand.

All you need to understand

is that you're gonna kick
that dude's ass--hey, Monty.

- And I'll take care of the rest.
- Okay.

- All right, everyone,
let's make some excellent TV!

Dwayne, go ahead
and stand right there.

Perfect, baby, perfect.

Okay.

[bell rings]
Robes are off.

And...

action!

[tense music]

- [flatly]
Make sure you lock the door.

I don't want him
trying to run away.

* *

[grunts]

[grunting]

[impacts and grunts]

- I really like how clear
you're enunciating your lines.

- Was just thinking
the same thing.

I can understand every word.

- So if those agents
you were talking to earlier

use the Internet,
they can stop the fight?

Well, sort of.

First, they need to track
the video feed's IP address

so they can locate me.

- Locate you?
But they were just with you.

What kind of federal agents
are these?

- Boo, FBI!
Kill yourselves!

- Well, actually,
only the guy is with the FBI.

The female lead
is a computer programmer

whose technology skills
help them solve crimes.

Where's Sandra Bullock?

Why didn't anyone call her
before getting into this mess?

[grunting]

- We not gonna talk
about them punches?

Shh!

- Needless to say,
that wasn't quite

.

- After the way the episode
of "The Net" turned out,

I felt like I had
to address it

with Vince right away.

- Yeah, I did an episode of
"Dr. Judy: Old West Surgeon,"

so I get it.

- Hey, Vince.
You got a sec?

There's my guy.

You ready to go toe-to-toe
with Steve Austin this week?

- Definitely,
it's gonna be a great match.

- All right.
- Listen.

I just wanted to apologize
for last night on "The Net."

I hope I didn't embarrass
the company.

- Are you joking?
- I wish.

When you have a chance
to see the episode--

- Dwayne, I watched the show
last night.

You were sensational!

- Really?
- Stop being modest.

I hate false sincerity.

It's like when people ask,
"How's your family?"

They don't care.

They don't give a fig
about my family.

Watch.
Artie, how's your family?

- Well, my mom just--
- See?

I don't care.

Dwayne,
your episode was so good

that I'm rewatching it
right now.

I don't know.

I thought my acting
was kind of stiff.

- Dwayne,
no one's watching your acting.

They're watching you, the Rock.

This is exactly the type
of entertainment

that will bring more fans
into the WWF.

I also loved that scene
when flirty music played

while you taught
fake Sandra Bullock

how to neutralize a bad guy.

- My director said those kinds
of emotional layers

are his artistic signature.

- Stay close to him.
He's going places.

- Did the network execs
say anything about the show?

- They didn't seem to want
to discuss the episode,

which is crazy to me.

But everyone loves what
this crossover initiative

is doing for our ratings.

In fact, I've already booked
you another role,

this time,
on "Star Trek: Voyager."

- "Star Trek"?
That's a major franchise.

- Nanu nanu.
[laughs]

Exciting stuff, right?

You shoot your episode
next month.

- If Vince was happy
with what I was doing,

then I was happy
to keep doing it

and just trying to get better.

Plus, "Star Trek"
was a big, storied franchise,

and I was excited to get a
chance to enter that universe.

Another packed house for
"Thursday Night SmackDown!"

Des Moines really knows
how to party.

I'm so jealous.

I've been dying to see Iowa

ever since we watched
"Field of Dreams."

"Hey, Dad.

Wanna have a catch?"

- Emotional.
- So emotional.

Hey, your dad's here.
You wanna say hi?

Nah, I'm good.

[knock at door]

Oh, that's my food.
I better go.

I gotta get back
to reading too.

I've barely started
this "Star Trek" book.

- I love how seriously
you're taking this.

- You know I want to be
the best at whatever I do.

- Oh, I know.
Bye, babe.

All right. Bye, babe.

- Hey.
- I have three dinners for--

one guest.

- Yeah, you can bring that in.
- Oh, live long and prosper.

- Oh, what a nice thing to say.
You too.

Cool finger trick, by the way.

Come on in.

[soft music]

Live long and prosper?

Oh.

Please. Don't make me laugh.

Ha, you?

I'm insulted they would even
put you in the pit to fight me.

Oh, wait, it's "against me,"
not "fight me."

- Let me start over.
- Hey, you okay, Dew?

You seem kind of nervous
or something.

I just want to be prepared

so I can nail it
when it's showtime.

- Brother, you performed
at the main event

in front
of 30,000 screaming fans.

I think you can handle this.

This is so different, though.

There's no live audience
to feed off of and respond to.

I know this is just a way
to help Vince

expand the profile
of the company,

but I still want
to do a good job.

- Hey, don't even mention it,
all right?

We'll keep rehearsing them
till you get them lines down.

- You're gonna be the best
damn half-woman, half-cyborg

this show's ever had.

- Bruno, you're
the half-woman, half-cyborg.

Wait, what?

- I'm half-Borg?
- Yeah.

Wow, okay.

This script makes
a lot more sense now.

- It says--
- I didn't even see that.

- It's okay, it's okay.
Okay, ready?

Yep, start it over.

So after a lot of practice,

I was ready to bring the heat
on "Star Trek."

[dramatic music]

Live long and prosper.

- Wrong species.
You're Pendari, not Vulcan.

Hi, I'm Kim, the director.

- I know.
I was just--I'm Dwayne.

- Nice to have you with us,
Dwayne.

Happy to be here.

Great script, by the way.

I really love how quickly
my character

loses his temper,
which I believe

is an established trait
of the Pendari species.

- Uh, yes, the writer
did a fine job.

- Oh, yeah.
I was thinking, though,

you know,
when I enter the battle pit,

maybe I could address
the crowd,

fire 'em up,
kind of like how I do as--

- Love your attitude,
but as our alien of the week,

you know, the role doesn't
allow for improvisation.

- Alien of the--
- Mm-hmm.

Oh.

That's what the letters
on my chair stand for.

- Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't
overthink it, okay?

We have 26 episodes to shoot
this season, so, you know,

got to keep the intergalactic
trains running on time.

- Got it.
- Ooh, no, no, no.

Don't furrow your brow.

It's real bad
for your face bulges.

[muttering] Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Can I get some water?

.

You?

I'm insulted
they would even put you

in the pit against me.

You're no bigger
than an Aldebaran Mud Leech.

- I must caution you against
dismissing me so lightly.

I possess incredible strength.

- [scoffs]
I think not.

Damon, what are you doing?

You don't shoot rehearsal.

Sorry.

- Okay, so this is where
the battle horn will sound

and the fight starts.

Nathan will lead you

through the exact
fight choreography after,

but basically, you exchange
blows, yeah, and...

- I assure you,
this will be a lot easier

if you cease your resistance.

- It would be a lot easier
if you ceased your punches.

Oh, no, wait,
sorry, my line is,

"I assure you,
it would be a lot easier--"

- Let me start again.
- You know what, it's okay.

If you flub a line
while we're rolling,

don't stop, just keep going.

Okay, we can cut
around it in post.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that's the gist.

If you can just stand
on your first marks,

we're gonna tweak some lighting
and get you both in wardrobe.

- Yeah?
- Thanks.

- I'm sorry about that.
- Mm--

Kim's right.

I shouldn't
have stopped mid-scene.

- Don't apologize.
It's great you care so much.

- Well, I do give
everything 100%.

A lot of guest stars don't.

Andy Dick may as well
have been drunk.

- Andy Dick did
"Star Trek: Voyager"?

- Yep.
- Hey, Jeri.

Your opening line is actually,
"I possess superior strength."

What did I say?

- You said
"incredible strength."

The writer said
your character wouldn't use

the word "incredible."

- Ah, okay.
Thanks, Marisa.

- Well, looks like one of us
has lines that matter.

- Trust me, when you're part
of the main cast,

you can't mess
with the "Star Trek" universe.

- Oh, yeah,
I realized that right away

while I was doing
my research online.

People have opinions.

Oh, you are not kidding.

But seriously,
thanks for being so prepared.

Sometimes, an actor's job
is simply to play the role

you're given on the show
that you're on.

- I got it, know your role--

And shut your mouth!

- Wow.
- I'm a big fan.

- [laughs]
- Thank you.

- You're hit.
You're bleeding, man.

I ain't got time to bleed.

Nothing beats "Predator."

Arnold's line is my favorite.

Get to the choppa!

Perfect.

Ugh, let me guess.

Jesse Ventura's
chewing up the scenery

with his chewing tobacco,

spitting all on his machine gun
like a...

let me know when it's over.

- I'd like a movie snack.
Do you have any popcorn?

Of course.

Oh, but it's stovetop,

and I'm
kind of a microwave girl.

- I can teach you
how to cook popcorn.

- You know,
I've only done two small roles,

and I already have so much more
appreciation for this stuff.

It would be so cool
to play a role like that.

- You could do that
if you wanted to.

Nah, everyone only wants me

to play some version
of a wrestler.

I'm already a wrestler
in real life.

What's the point of being one
in another galaxy,

or New Orleans,
or wherever "The Net" is set?

- Seattle.
"The Net" is set in Seattle.

Listen.

No one is happier
at the success

you've found wrestling than me.

If you're happy,
keep doing what you're doing.

You'll hear no complaints
from us.

But if this new challenge
is interesting to you,

go after it.

You make it look the way
you want it to look.

There are no fences
around you, Dewey.

- Is it over?
both: No!

Jesse Ventura's great.

- Oh, he's good.
He's very good.

Don't let your dad
hear you say that.

- Dad would have been
pretty good in this.

- Mm...
- Okay.

- Great episode of "Star Trek"
last night, Dwayne.

I'm not a Trekkie, but you were
sensational as Blorg.

Thank you, Vince.

- I was thinking,
for your next role,

something completely different,
huh, like a comedy.

- Yeah, I love comedy.
- Me too.

Nothing funnier
in the world than someone

stepping in dog crap.
[both laugh]

If I could make an entire show
of just that, I would.

- I mean, I'd watch that.
- Right?

Ding-dong, who's that?

Oh, no,
there's crap on my shoe.

- If you smell--dog crap.

- Just one after the other,
people stepping in crap.

- [blowing raspberries]
- That's what crap sounds like!

[both laughing]

Anyway, I'm glad you're into it

because I booked you an episode
of "That '70s Show."

Are you serious?

- I don't joke around
when it comes

to the best decade of all time.

- I mean,
that's such a funny show.

- What's my role?
- One that only you could play.

- My primetime comedy debut
was not only playing

the role of another wrestler,
but that wrestler

was my dad.

Looking good, son.

.

- Even though I was playing
yet another wrestler,

I was really proud
to play my dad.

And he was truly excited
about me playing him on TV.

And of course, as always,
the Soul Man had some notes.

- [chuckles]
Now remember,

if you want
to capture my essence,

you need to let your mouth and
your muscles do the talking.

No such thing
as too much talking

when you're playing someone
who is that good at it.

- Well, I'm pretty sure
they're gonna want me

to stick to the script,
but don't worry,

I'll make you proud.

This is so exciting.

I've never been
on a soundstage before.

- And I just told one
of the lead actresses

I hope she breaks her legs.

- She said that to the woman
that plays the mom.

It was amazing.

Should we head to our seats?

I heard they're handing out
tuna fish sandwiches

before the show.

- We'll be cheering for you,
sweetheart.

- Thanks, Mom.
Love you guys.

Love you too.

[breathes deeply]

[funky music]

Hey.

[laughter and applause]

You know what?

When my son grows up,

he's gonna become
the most electrifying man

in sports entertainment.

[laughter]

Bravo, Dewey!

The only person who
could have done a better job

at playing me on screen
than you is me.

- I like Dewey's version of you
better than your version.

Babe, you're really good.

I agree.

Your hard work
is starting to pay off.

Thanks, Mom.

For the first time,
I felt like

I could see myself
doing a version

of acting the way that
I wanted to do it.

I was also about to get one

of the most exciting
phone calls of my life.

[phone rings]

- Hello?
- Great show, Bubba!

Now, open your ears!
I write screenplay.

I mail you pages. We win Oscar!

Hollywood champion number one!

That was the call?

- No, that was the call
before the call.

- Oh, it kind of felt
like you were teeing up

the actual call there.

- Well, I can't wait
to read it, Sheiky.

Forrest Gump jabroni actor!

- Tell him
he still owes me money.

- Talk soon.
- Yes, Bubb--

- You didn't tell him.
[phone ringing]

- Wow, the phone's ringing
off the hook.

- Everybody
must have seen the show.

- Hello?
- Hi, is this Dwayne?

Yes, this is Dwayne.

Dwayne, it's Lorne Michaels.

- Hi.
Uh, it's great to talk to you.

[both mouthing]

- I think he said
Bret Michaels from Poison.

- I've been trying
to track you down.

Um, Vince and I were talking,

and he thinks you've got
something special

that would work for us

and that you'd be
a perfect fit.

A fit?

- To host
"Saturday Night Live."

- [laughs]
No way.

So you get the call
that every young comedian

aspires to receive,
but instead,

it goes to a wrestler
who has no aspirations

of hosting the show?

- Let me guess, hosting "SNL"
is one of your dreams.

Hell yeah!

And when that call comes,

I'll be ready
with my pre-written

"Wayne's World" sketch.

I play Wayne's
Korean stepfather

who comes home
from the Gulf War.

Oh.

Sounds like a fresh idea.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- You want to develop it into,
like, a buddy comedy thing?

- I think it needs a little bit
more to it, but sure.

- Yeah?
- Sure.

- Okay, yeah, me and you.
- Yeah, down the road.

Absolutely.

- Yeah, we'll work on it,
like, tomorrow.

- Down the road.
- Down the road tomorrow, sure.

- [chuckles]
- Okay.

So anyway, you get the call
from Lorne, and then what?

- Mr. Michaels,
I would be truly honored

to host "Saturday Night Live."

Great. Glad to hear it.

- But I would love
to not play a wrestler in it.

Yeah.

I'll give that some thought.

- So they came to you
with an offer to host,

and you came back
to them with terms?

Correct.

If I was gonna walk
into a new arena,

then I wanted to be the best
that I could be,

and for me, that was way
beyond just being a wrestler

playing a wrestler
for the joke.

And luckily, Lorne agreed.

The next thing I knew,

I found myself walking down
a new kind of tunnel.

It reminded me
of just five years earlier,

when I was walking
through the tunnel

to my first arena show.

But this time,
it was the tunnel

to the iconic
"Saturday Night Live" stage.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
the Rock!

- Why'd you stop?
What's wrong?

- Excuse me, Jerry?
- Yes, sir.

- Let's turn around
and head back to the estate.

We're not going home.

Talking about
standing up to power

and asking for what you want,

I'm surprised
I didn't think of it sooner.

I have a plan that can save
this trade deal.

[chuckles]
