Sorry, We're Dead

Hello, my name is Jeremy Canard, and tonight,

we're gonna talk about the science of repetition.

My name's Jeremy Canard, and tonight,

Science of repetition. Science of repetition.

Science of repetition. Repetition.

Repetition. Repetition.

The science of repetition.

(playful electronic music)

I apologize, but due to

the unusually high submission volume,

we have to delay announcing the results.

- And ladies and gentlemen, that is how you give a lecture.

(feedback buzzes and whines)

Please stop dropping the microphones.

That was legit.

That Garfunkel guy really has some oral skills.

Sorry, I didn't, I didn't break it, did I?

Done. And we only had to go through three microphones.

Think you can fix it?

Come to papa. Tell me where it hurts.

There's a lot of new characters here,

but you'll learn them all.

Let's make sure that we get today's footage

backed up on the hard drive.

Mm-hmm.

This guy's a really big name.

We really can't risk losing it.

There's no good way to edit out the mic drop.

You always figure it out.

That is how you give a lecture.

Anyway, kudos to a smooth event, everyone.

Michael, make sure we get everything out there cleaned up.

Oh, you're the boss, boss. (chuckles)

Lana, Burd, take it easy, all right?

Mm-hmm. - Impossible.

Hey Burd, (bell dings)

I gotta take that hard drive home to do some editing.

Can you start backing up?

Take it now. I'll back it up tomorrow.

Jeez.

D-don't worry.

There was always a copy on the SD card. (laughs)

All right.

See you tomorrow.

See ya.

Test one, two.

Testing, one, two. (beatboxes) One, two!

Yo, Lana. Will here.

Any chance you can get

the Wednesday lecture done by tomorrow?

They just booked all these new lectures

so we'll need all hands on deck.

And it looks like we're gonna need to double

the number of lectures you work per month.

I'm sure you can handle it. You're so dedicated.

All right, hope you get some rest.

Talk soon, Lana.

(clock ticking)

- Did you forget to take the wrapper off as usual?

Uh...

I think that kitty's stuck

under the house again.

Can you get him out?

Can't like, a fireman do it?

Ha, ha. Very funny.

Okay, shower time.

Come on, Hammer.

I got gushy food.

Hey.

Why do I always have to save the cat?

Hey.

What happens if you can't get the hard drive

to turn back on?

I don't know.

Lose my job, maybe.

(scoffs) I'm sure it'll all be fine.

Mm.

Uh, hey, have you seen my keys anywhere?

Keys to your heart?

Those too. (bell dings)

But also my car keys.

As a matter of fact, (keys jingle)

I had to make sure you'd stay here long enough

to listen to me complain.

That was effective.

But I really gotta get to class.

Hey, do you need a ride today?

Yes, please.

I'm editing a lecture until five.

Oh, perfect. We can go home together.

Oh. Your place or mine?

Okay.

You ready to brave the city traffic?

(sirens wailing)

I had to fix another lecture Burd filmed.

He was stretching the boundaries of lecture cinematography

while I wasn't there.

He decided to quote, "'Blair Witch' this bitch."

Oh no. I mean, is he-

Yeah, he thinks it makes things more dynamic

and adds tension.

If there's every supposed to be

an exciting moment in a movie,

boom, shaky handheld shot.

Whoa.

- Does it also make boring things exciting like lectures?

Oh, what do you think?

I think you need to forget about what Burd's doing

and just focus on yourself.

On that note.

Can you pick me up from the park today?

I'll be there with my camera.

Ooh, you gonna be out there living the dream?

If work doesn't kill me first.

Shit.

Dalai Lana! Ooh, ooh.

Don't call me that.

Oh god, the beeping.

I kind of like it.

It makes me feel like we're in the future.

I can never find what's doing it.

Just accept it. Beeping is the future, man. (chuckles)

Oh, hey, can I back that up?

Uh, it's been acting funny.

Oh, I bet that's from

when I accidentally pushed it to the floor yesterday.

I can fix that. Come on.

It's probably just a loose USB port.

Loose like your mama. A-ha! (chuckles)

- You know, I was watching that lecture you edited recently.

Uh-huh. What's wrong?

Is it the colors again?

Yes, it's the colors.

You really shouldn't be trying to fix them.

I'm just trying to learn.

I gotta prep for the lecture.

Yo, hey, Lana.

Someone came by here the other day

that wanted to talk to you about a freelance gig.

I probably can't even do what they need.

Besides, I'm like a week behind on lectures as it is.

I take whatever I can get, man.

Rent does not pay itself.

I just don't have time.

Plus this lecture's about to start

in figuratively one second.

Literally in a second for all of you.

Uh, I had to do my hair,

which was quite a challenge for me.

Do any of you have curly hair out there?

No. I guess not.

Anyhow.

First act in a traditional three-act structure

is often called the setup.

This is where we get to meet our characters.

And then in the end, um,

some enticing incident occurs

that creates a problem that then needs to be solved.

This morning, for instance-

I can use an inciting incident.

Hey! I got an exciting incident for you.

You should try zooming in on their face
