Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You know what, thank you so much for helping me with this commercial audition.

You’re welcome. Now, let’s try this…

You’re on a deserted island, and a pirate is selling you hand cream.

And even though you’re lost at sea - and the pirate is made of cardboard -

you still can’t believe what a great deal you’re getting. And... go.

Wow! That is a great deal!

No. Go bigger. Make it like this is the greatest deal you’ve ever seen.

Wow! That is a great deal!

Stop. Bigger.

Bigger?

You’re here... Take it all the way up to here. Huh?

Wow! That is... a great deal!

Bigger -

Okay. You think you’re such a big actor, let’s see you try it!

Okay. Watch.

Wowww!!! That is a... gggreat deal!

Woo!

I got a deal! It's a great great deal!

It's a great great deal! Woo! I got a great deal, yo!

Hey! Who’s being so loud out here?

Um, that was me... Sorry.

You should be sorry - sorry you didn’t come in here sooner,

because you are amazing! You just got the job.

You are going to be the face of Awesome Tech’s

gigantic new commercial campaign!

What?!

Are you ready to be seen in every home... in the... wait for it… world?

It’s only everything I’ve ever wanted in my whole life, yes, I are. Am.

Louder!

I’m ready!!!

Huh-huh. I love it! Okay, everybody else you can go home because we’ve found our star!

Oh come on...

But I’m here to audition for a different commercial...

I said go home!

Oh, come on.

Awesome Tech makes the list of Most Awesome Tech Companies every year.

I mean this could really put Tom and Ben Enterprises on the map!

Ooh. Do you think you’ll get to meet Clicky, Awesome Tech’s awesome mascot?

Clicky scares me... He doesn’t have any eyes.

Clicky doesn’t need eyes to see you, Ginger. Ha, ha, ha.

I am so ready to be a famous commercial star!

Tom, I don’t want to sound jealous, but you don’t just show up

to one acting job and become a big success.

Angela’s right. I should prepare. Oh, okay.

Someone give me an emotion, and I will perform that emotion to you.

Okay. Um... jealousy!

Weird choice, but okay.

You did what? I’m so jealous.

Show me whimsical!

Huh-huh. Whimsical.

Oo-ooh. You’re tired because you have been walking too much today.

Too easy! Give me a hard one!

I wasn’t finished! You’ve been walking all day because... you’re an old king,

heading back to your lands after a giant battle!

Old king...

... and you’re secretly a robot and you want to take over

the world with your robot children!

Robot children...

Three layers of acting? That’s pushing the limits.

Also you have to fart!

Tom, no! Four layers is too much acting for anyone!

Hank, don’t worry. I am a pro.

You have to fart but you don’t want to fart and it’s cold outside!

Acting?

Alright, who popped the balloon?

That wasn’t a balloon. It was my face muscles... I think my face

is stuck like this! Do I look bad?

Uhh. No... I hardly even noticed it.

Tom, quit sneering. She’s trying to be nice!

I’m not sneering. It’s my face. It’s, it’s stuck.

It’s pretty bad, Tom... Just go lie down. It will probably go back

to normal after a good night’s rest.

Whoa-whoa, Tom. Ben is just trying to be helpful.

Hey, Hank, remember when my face was stuck? Yeah, it’s still stuck.

Oh! Right.

So, it’s not better. But you’re not gonna let this get you down.

You’re Tom. You’ve got charisma.

In fact, you’re going to invite your friends to a confident company dinner

tonight because you’re still ready to face the day!

I for one applaud you, Tom. There’s nothing wrong with looking weird.

If it wasn’t for us weird-lookers, we wouldn’t have computers

and we’d have to go outside to have fun!

Exactly. This is gonna be fine.

All right, gang. What’cha gonna have?

Hey, sweetheart. What’s the juice of the day?

It’s a monster!

Wait, no, come back! There’s a simple explanation-

Argh! yarrrrrr….

What’s wrong with you...

I’m not a monster!

Don’t look at me!

I’ll get a picture of him...

I’m not a monster!

Don’t look at me!

Well a frozen face won’t eat these pancakes.

Tom, come out. You have to go to your commercial

acting job that I didn’t get.

No. Leave me alone. My face scares people!

You’re overreacting.

Hey, hey. I just saw on the news that there is a monster at the diner!

Look, it’s Tom!

Hello, new wallpaper.

I’m never coming out of here ever again.

Tom, the commercial people are calling. You’re late for the shoot.

Tell them there is nobody here by that name. Tell them there

never really was a “Tom”.

No, Tom. You’re not giving up just because people run away screaming

when they see your face.

You worked too hard - I mean, you acted really big to get this chance,

and now you’re gonna take that commercial!

Oops, I talked too long and now the phone stopped ringing.

But I’m calling them back!

Hey, Mister Director - your star is here.

Wait, wait. What is this? He’s a bag man now?

It’s his process.

Oh, his process! I totally get it.

No problem! Make yourself at home!

What’s a “process”?

It’s a thing that actors say when they want people to let them be weird.

Oh. Well, there’s gonna be a whole lot more process when I take off this bag.

Hey - we’re gonna get your confidence back. Now repeat after me.

“I can do it. I’m the biggest actor in the world. Go me!”

Right. I’m gonna go uhm... check out the… uhm… food in my trailer. I’ll be right back.

Ben, look, you gotta help! Angela doesn’t really have a plan,

it’s just feel-good inspirational stuff.

Well, don’t worry. I’ve come to the rescue with science. Specifically,

I’ve been working on a robotic face mask for an occasion just like this one.

I’ll control the mask from here via the Internet. If my puppeteering

skills are up to the task... and they are... no one will ever know that

the mask isn’t your real face.

Thank you, Ben.

You’ve got this, Tom.

Wow. This thing really works!

A raise of the eyebrow and give them the ol’ bad-boy wink...

Wink!

So, what this is going to be is, you’re holding the phone and you say

“Finally my life has meaning!” You try it.

Finally, my life has meaning!

Yeah. That’s okay. But you’re too happy. You want to be happy, but also relieved.

Uh, sure.

Finally, my life has meaning!

Yeah. Good. Oh, but also try to do it like you’re nervous about the future.

And this will make total sense when you see the rest of the commercial -

you are secretly a dinosaur. And - action!

Okay... got it.

Agh! The face hydraulics can’t act this hard. Perform! Perform, you stupid mask!

Finally, my life has meaning!

And give us a wink!

Wink!

Wait, wait a minute! I can explain! It’s just the mask.

No, no, no. Keep filming. This... is... art!

Look at this monster! And then get the new Awesome Tech phone -

because it’s... monster-proof! Guitar riff!

Awesome, I know a monster now and he’s also my neighbor!

Hey, look on the bright side. At least you were on TV.

You were on TV. Will you sign my remote?

This is a disaster. I was supposed to be a star...

Maybe next time you won’t decide to show off with a level-four acting move.

Hey, look on the bright side. Your face is back to normal.

Yeah, I guess that’s something.

Hello...? Who? Uh-huh... Yeah. I’m right here

with the guy whose face looks like a monster...

You’ve got an opportunity for him that could make him a huge movie star?

What, are you crazy? Say yes!

Sign him up! Oh, and I have some good news. His face is back to normal...

Hello? Hello! Call dropped.

Happens a lot in Hollywood. I’m sure they’ll call back.
