Minute 051: Professional Stuntmen

“…to point B over here,” says Bowfinger, continuing his explanation of the scene to Jif

“That seems kinda hard,” says Jif, seeing all the speeding cars on the highway.

“Well, think of it as an errand,” says Bowfinger. “Your errand is to run across the freeway until I yell ‘cut.’ “

“Oh, I get it,” says Jif. “But doesn’t that seem a little dangerous, though?”

“Oh, no,” replies Bowfinger. “We have professional stuntmen doing the driving. So you’ll be completely safe.”

“Oh, professional stuntmen!” says Jif. “That’s how they do it! I was wondering, how they did that. Stunt drivers!”

“Okay,” says Bowfinger. “You ready to do one?”

“Sure,” says Jif. “They’re going really fast!”

Jump cut to Jif standing on the other side of the highway. Cars are racing by at a furious pace.

“And… action!” yells Bowfinger, over the traffic.

“Come on, Jiff!” says Daisy.

“Action!” repeats Bowfinger.
