1:03:12
This is definitely better.
1:03:14
You think so?
You don't think

1:03:16
that this might not
be a little dry?

1:03:18
This is not an entertainment
you're making.

1:03:20
This story about
a kid in the suburbs,

1:03:22
and the state of
the college admission process,

1:03:24
has, with this Brady crisis,
1:03:26
evolved into something
much richer and more provocative.

1:03:29
Yes, I know. Still, it should be
somewhat entertaining.

1:03:31
Without this footage, without
this rigorous documentation,

1:03:35
it would feel
like exploitation.

1:03:37
No, no, no.
No exploitation, this is serious.

1:03:40
But don't you find it
a little funny, too,

1:03:44
at the same time?
1:03:46
You've got a family tragedy
on your hands.

1:03:49
Will you tell me what's funny
about that? About a kid in a coma?

1:03:52
- Nothing, I guess.
- Why are you making this

1:03:55
if you can't treat your subject
with appropriate gravity?

1:03:58
Okay, you're right.
You're right.

1:04:02
We need to screen
what we've got.

1:04:05
Invite some
regular people,

1:04:07
just some random
off-the-street types,

1:04:10
and see what real people
think of this.

1:04:12
I don't know, Toby.
We really have a long way to go.

1:04:15
You still need to get
a lot more footage.

1:04:17
It's probably
a little premature--

1:04:19
Then we can invite
serious intellectual types.

1:04:21
- We're not ready.
- Hip alternative types...

1:04:24
- who understand the process.
- Toby, we're not ready!

1:04:26
I need to see this
with an audience.

1:04:28
What's an audience
gonna tell you?

1:04:31
I don't know.
Maybe they'll like it.
