:48:01
And behind every hit,
a card-carrying male model.

:48:06
Okay, that's impossible.
:48:08
Oh, yeah?
Listen and learn, sweetness.

:48:10
Abe Lincoln wanted to abolish
slavery, right?

:48:14
But who do you think made the
powdered wigs and leg stockings...

:48:16
worn by our country's
early leaders?

:48:20
Mugatu!
:48:23
Slaves, Derek.
:48:26
Without their free labor,
prices would have gone up tenfold.

:48:29
So the powers that be
hired John Wilkes Booth...

:48:32
the original model/actor,
to do Mr... Lincoln in...

:48:38
I'll go on.
Dallas, Texas, 1963.

:48:42
Kennedy had just put
a trade embargo on Cuba...

:48:45
ostensibly halting the shipment
of Cuban-manufactured slacks.

:48:48
Incredibly popular item
at the time.

:48:49
Lee Harvey Oswald
was not a male model.

:48:52
You're goddamn right he wasn't.
But those two lookers...

:48:54
who capped Kennedy from the grassy
knoll sure as shit were.

:48:58
Well, what about you?
How do you fit in to all this?

:49:02
This nation was swept...
:49:04
I'll get it, ma'am.
:49:10
I can't get over...
:49:12
Wait a minute.
:49:17
I know that hand.
:49:20
It was in the fall 1973
Bulova watch catalog.

:49:25
You're J.P. Prewitt.
:49:28
The world's greatest hand model.
:49:32
Once upon a time.
But things change.

:49:34
Thanks to this homemade
hyperbaric chamber...

:49:37
my sweet baby never did.
:49:41
Let's keep moving.
:49:43
And that's when I found out I was
in line to assassinate Jimmy Carter.

:49:47
- So, how'd you manage to escape?
- Because I'm a hand model, mama.

:49:51
A finger jockey. We don't think
the same as the face and body boys.

:49:55
- We're a different breed.
- So why male models?

:49:57
Think about it, Derek.
