I'm Going to Tell You a Secret (2005) - full transcript

Prophecy...

...Prophecy.

''Blessed is he who reads aloud
the words of the prophecy.

And blessed are those who hear

and who keep what is written therein,

for the time is near.

He is coming with the clouds,

and every eye will see him.

Everyone who pierced him
and all the tribes of the earth

will wail on account of him.

But l have this against you:



that you have abandoned

the love you had.

And l saw a beast rising out of the sea

with 10 horns and seven heads...

and a blasphemous name
upon its head.

And to it,
the dragon gave his power.

And the whole earth
followed the beast with wonder.

And they worshipped the beast saying,
'Who is like the beast?'

and 'Who can fight
against the beast?'

lt opened its mouth
to utter blasphemous...

words against

God.

Then l saw a new heaven,

and a new earth.



And l heard a great voice
from the throne saying,

'Behold, the dwelling
of God is with men.

He will dwell with them
and they shall be His people.

And God Himself
will be with them.

He will wipe away every tear
from their eyes.

And death shall be no more.
Neither shall there be mourning,

nor crying, nor pain

any more.

For these things
will have passed away.

To the thirsty l will give water

without price...

from the fountain
of the water of life.

But as for the cowardly,
the faithless,

the polluted,

as for the murderers,
fornicators,

sorcerers, idolaters,

and all liars...

their lot shall be in the lake
that burns with fire.'

And he said to me,

'Do not seal up the words
of the prophecy,

for the time is near.
Behold.

l am coming soon.'''

''lf anyone who slays with a sword

then he must--''

- Yeah.
- lt's just you're putting it too quick.

''lf anyone who slays with a sword...''

- Do you think that bass line is too--
- No. That's-- that's--

that's one of the best bits.
Because in an arena,

that's the bit that's just gonna
shake the whole room.

This is the opening of the show, and l'm
reading from the book of Revelations.

lt's before the band gets onstage,

it's before l come on stage, and...

it's meant to sort of set the mood.

lt's a bit scary. There is
some poetry in the New Testament.

- Yeah.
- He doesn't believe in God.

He's not spiritual at all.

Uh, no-- l don't--
l don't really believe in God.

That really hurts me to hear that.

Why does it hurt you?
Why does it hurt anyone

to hear that someone doesn't believe
in God? What's the problem with that?

Because then you don't--
then you don't believe in--

in anything past this
physical life that you live.

You can believe in something that
passes without having to believe in God.

- Do you believe in reincarnation?
- Yeah.

- You do?
- l believe in lots of things

that are beyond--
that are beyond the physical world.

You don't believe that
there's a supreme power

or higher energy force
that had something

- to do with the creation of the world?
- Yeah, but why does that

- have to be labeled ''God''?
- Okay, how about ''Energy''?

- Yeah.
- Or ''The Light''?

All right, how about Energy, but--

''Blessed is he who reads aloud
the words of the prophecy.''

l refer to an entity
called the beast.

''Who can fight against the beast?''

l feel like l'm describing the world
that we live in right now.

''Those of you who have not known

what some call
the deep things of Satan.''

To me, the beast is the modern world
that we live in,

the material world,
the physical world,

the world of illusion
that we think is real.

We live for it,
we're enslaved by it

and it will ultimately
be our undoing.

l mean, l like the juxtaposition
of telling people

they're all going to go to hell
if they don't, um...

turn away
from their wicked behavior.

Now we've got to pay attention,
because all this--

all this gossip about God
is distracting me.

Do you have any good jokes?

What's the great thing about
fucking 28-year-olds?

- Um...
- There's 20 of them.

That's terrible.

l used to audition for shows
all the time when l was a dancer,

and l got cut from all of them.

And it was a miserable experience.

l always, like,
stuck out too much

and couldn't, sort of,
blend in with everybody else.

And that's really what l look for,

l look for people who have
something special.

Her dancers, her performers,
they have to be powerful.

They have to be able
to accent Madonna,

and that's a hard thing to do.

And, and--
Do we dig Diggo?

- Can he tap-dance for me today?
- Yeah.

Let's keep him,
keep him in our harem.

- Thank you.
- Okay, good stuff.

That's an awfully long
bamboo stick you have, sir.

Bye. Oh, l'm glad
l'm not a dancer anymore.

lt's a dog's life.

- 31 , no.
- No.

- 278, no.
- No.

So thank you, guys.
l'm sorry.

l'm sorry, you guys.

Are you on any medication?

Do any of you smoke grass?

- What's grass?
- Yes or no?

Do any of you smoke weed?
Huh?

- Could you do it less?
- Huh?

Could you--
could you do it less?

Oh yeah.
No, l've-- yeah.

Yeah? Not because
l'm morally opposed to it,

l just want to get the most out of it--
out of you guys.

Okay?
Okay, well, you're hired.

You're hired.

l think l've found
some fantastic dancers.

l don't think of them as dancers,
l think of them as actors,

performance artists.
They have character

and they move me.
And it's got much more to do

with who they are
than the way they move their bodies.

l'm speechless right now.

- Thank you very very much.
- Sure.

Lucky number!

- This is my boy!
- We came through together.

l can't wait.
l can't even wait for the first show.

l just want to do-- do-- do it.

l'm one of the young ones
on the tour.

And now we get
yelled at because we're late.

l'm not going to hide
or be scared of anything.

l like Cabbalah.
lt doesn't conflict with Hinduism

- because it's not a religion.
- Body-wise, mentally-wise,

you really got to be on your shit.
On your shit.

l'm a Christian, so l believe
in heaven and hell.

l'm from Mesquite, Texas.
We have a big rodeo

and that's about it.

l'm a Bronx girl.

lf you're straight and you don't go
to a titty bar, there's a problem.

Yeah, titty-- titty--
titty bar.

Clap clap, turn around.

Do you see the change
in my energy?

l was born in Buenos Aires.
My personality's a little bit weird.

Who would have thought, like--
who would have thought,

like my first tour
would be Madonna?

You live positive,
it all comes back.

Back. Back.

Whatever Madonna wants,
that's what we're gonna give her.

We're just running the show,
all the-- all the staged--

all the dance numbers
before we get to the sound stage

and things start having
to get broken down.

Because usually how we work
is once we get to the stage,

we have to do things in chunks,
you know what l mean?

Then the stage becomes

a beast that we have to tame.

l'm gonna get a real
Scottish bagpipe player.

- Why? He just blows.
- Jamie!

You won't know the difference.
Who is it? One of your band members?

- No, he's gonna come from Scotland.
- And he just plays in that one number?

We can use him for other things.

She's got a dancing part
for me as well, so--

that was a bit of a shock.

When you're putting a show together,
it's like life during wartime.

Everyone has to pay attention.
No one can fuck up.

l wish l could live with this kind
of mindset all the time.

l love it.
l love the energy of it.

And l love the idea
that we're creating

something together,
that there's a unity.

Slutbox in a nun's outfit?

Can you just do me a favor? Don't stick
your leg up on the TV like that,

because it hikes your thing up
and you can see your shorts.

We want people
to think you're a real nun.

Good luck with that one.

See, Paul's looks real--
his beard.

But they're not distracted by anything
and they don't look at women.

lt's gonna be rough for you guys.

- They don't look at women?
- No.

- Most priests are gay, you know?
- l've heard.

So...

l've got some connections
at the Vatican.

Oh Jeez.

Well, religion breeds
fragmentation.

These religious costumes,
for most people,

end up separating everybody.

So the idea is you're taking off
the thing that separates them

so that you can all be
one consciousness, okay?

- Obey the laws of the universe.
- Find your hat. We're gonna do this.

A little bit nervous.
Not too nervous.

l actually felt quite mellow
about an hour ago.

That's what all my fans
will be doing in their seats.

l like to think
of the show as, um,

like an art installation.

And if l think of it like that,
then l don't feel like l have to, um--

l don't know. l don't think l have
to achieve perfection every night.

lt's really hard to not be nervous.

But like the--
Rob said to me last night--

l said, ''Oh God, thousands
of people are going to be here.

l hope l'm not going
to be nervous.''

He said, ''You won't be nervous.
They're not thousands of people,

they're thousands of lights. You just
have to think of them like that.''

Light is...

fearlessness.

Light is...

compassion.

Light is all-giving and it's--

it's immortality.

lt's a place
where there's no chaos,

no pain

and no suffering.

Light is the laws of the universe.

You can do things to connect to it
or you can do things to disconnect.

That's what l say l fear--

disconnecting.

Hi, you guys.

- Hotcha, how're you doing?
- l'm okay.

Oops.

Awww.

Oh, that's pretty.

Who's that from, l wonder.

A flower with a necklace.

An admirer, obviously.

Good idea, you putting
Fanta in this can, Dan.

l've got to get ready for the show.
l'm a nervous wreck.

- Eat anything?
- Yeah.

We'll finally be doing this
for an audience, it's great!

- Little butterflies.
- l can't stop shitting.

Uh-oh uh-oh uh-oh.

l have a nervous stomach.

Great show, great show,
great show.

- Let's do it!
- All right!

- Let's go!
- Opening night!

Yeah, run along, darling.

Um, what's the difference
between a pop star and a terrorist?

- A pop star and a terrorist?
- You can negotiate with a terrorist.

Suddenly my corset feels tighter
and my heels feel higher.

l just-- l just want us all
to go out there,

and take the people in the audience

to another place,

and inspire them
to be better versions

of the people
that they are already.

l thank you all,
each and every one of you,

for being a part
of this experience with me.

l feel so grateful.
l feel so excited.

l feel so honored.

Let's go out there and have
the best time ever tonight.

Be safe and let's shine
like the brightest lights.

- Amen.
- Amen.

What are you looking at?

- Yeah yeah yeah!
- Yes!

Let's go, crew!
Run this mother!

That's how we do!
Let it out!

We'll bring it
every night like that!

Hey, mamba!

- How are you?
- Ahh.

Marcus is opening the champagne.

Look what you've done.

- Oh, bloody hell.
- Oh no.

l hate doing that.
l hate doing that.

Okay, you have
to stay out of the way.

You've never seen asses
blinging like this, huh?

But this show, you're-- l mean,
there's some political punches in here.

- Well, good.
- Yeah?

- That's what you're after?
- Yeah.

- Piss some people off?
- No, l'm not pissing people off.

- This wakes people up.
- Ah.

Madison Square Gardens,
New York City.

Nice skirt, Marlyn...

you're almost wearing.

There was a time
where she used to make sense,

and now it's just a bit--

Let's see how fast this time.
Ready--

Can you just sing ''Looking for Love
in All the 'Wong' Places''?

But do it with feeling.
Do it. Do it.

No, l didn't say speak
with a cockney accent.

l said sing it, motherfucker.

Now get over here.
The audition is not over.

Get over here.
You haven't done it right.

One more time.
Do it for me, baby.

Now sing it.

You're hired.
Okay, l can get on with my day now.

Just go braid your fucking hair, okay?
Don't make things complicated.

You have privacy to do physical therapy.
You can have people in there.

- Where's my bathroom?
- Your bathroom's down the hall.

Um, l have to pee.

You don't want to hear me pee.
Get out.

Get out!

How are ya?
Good, nice to see ya.

Yes yes!
Come on, let's take it!

Now we're gonna see what
Machine-Gun Kelly's all about.

Guy somehow manages
to usurp the security guards

and turn them
into his jujitsu partners.

Mainly Kelly,
who l never see anymore.

He's always down on the mats
with Guy.

l think men cannot resist
the invitation to fight...

one another.

They get into their shorts
and they lay down on the floor,

and they just hug each other
for like two hours.

They sweat and they hug and they grunt,
and they sit on each other's faces.

My husband is more intimate
with the people

he does jujitsu with
than he is with me.

Sometimes l walk in and l'm like,

''We haven't done that position.''

Arthur, you're up.
Thanks for the roll.

Ooh.

A couple of the dancers wanted to
know--
when will you grace your presence

at a function that we
can all enjoy together?

You know what? l don't--
that's the problem. l don't feel good.

Are you registered to vote,
by the way?

- No.
- Why not?

Because l've never ever done it,
so l didn't know what to do.

- That's no fucking excuse.
- That's what those people are doing.

You sign up and register
to vote, Aries,

or l'm not speaking to you anymore.
Now get the fuck out of here.

Are you guys registered to vote?

We're here just trying
to get people to understand

that they can register to vote.

l'm really touched that you
actually made the effort.

See?
l went and did it all by myself.

You understand that
not registering for the vote

is not the only thing
you have to do, right?

- Now l have to vote, right?
- Yeah.

- Do you know who you're gonna vote
for?
- Kerry?

Don't say it with
a question mark on the end.

- Kerry. l'm voting for Kerry.
- Thank you.

Let's shake hands.

You're now at the top
of my list, okay?

- Bye, Aries.
- Bye, get out of here.

Who was that?

Jesus?

How are you, darling?

- Hi.
- You are?

What's going on down there?

Um, so you know--
shall we, like,

smooch and kiss and shall l
tell you how much l love you

- before you go on?
- Why start now?

No, but l do that
before every show, darling.

- You do?
- Sure.

Guy, you haven't been to one of my
shows
in about three weeks.

Maybe we should leave.

l have funny kind of butterflies
in my stomach.

- Do you?
- That's good.

l don't understand
what's wrong with me.

Well...

- neither do l.
- You've been saying that for years.

When's kickoff?
Shouldn't you be out there?

Yeah, l'm just fucking about.

l had to interview some people
outside for you.

- You did?
- Yeah.

We're gonna bring
some breaking news on D.A.N.

about the Madonna concert.

Willy Wonka.
That was his name.

A chap from Puerto Rico
called Willy Wonka.

Really?
That's not a real name.

Willy Wonka, they call me that
in Puerto Rico.

l think the most important thing
for me to Madonna is like,

the ''Express Yourself'' stuff.

Let me tell you, he's a fan.

- ls he?
- Oh yeah.

And tell me, what do you think
of her new man?

- What's his name?
- Guy Ritchie.

- Uh, Guy Ritchie, yeah.
- Mr. Ritchie?

Well, personally l don't know him.

And the only things that l know
is that he's a great director.

lt's the only thing that l know.

But don't you think
he's a good-looking guy?

Thank you, Mr. Wonka,
and good night.

Thank you.
Thank you, sir.

l like Mr. Wonka.

- Do l look okay?
- Yeah, you look magnificent, darling.

Or do l look like a bad imitation
of Little Bo Peep and Shirley Temple?

No, darling, you look very good.

All right, give us a kiss.

Go on, run along.

Mrs. R, fly like a bird.

Where is everybody?

Well, as you can see,
l don't have any friends.

God, you've got to work hard
for a New York crowd.

You could've worked a bit harder,
couldn't you? Well done, girl.

l was wondering when someone
was going to come and visit me.

l was starting to get freaked out-- like
did l turn everybody off or something?

No no, l was taking care
of all your customers out there.

lt was an amazing show.

l mean, l even danced once.

That's a lot for me.

Do you want me to massage
your feet or something?

- A little foot massage, perhaps?
- ls something wrong with you?

Now, l give you foot massages
every night, Mrs. Ritchie.

You do not!

l just want people to wake up.

lt's just the worst thing,
that half the country's asleep.

Half the people don't vote,
half the people don't get involved.

And Jeez, she stuck her neck
out there for me tonight.

l thought, that's a crazy thing
to do, man.

Michael, l know
you're out there tonight,

and l just wanted
to publicly thank you

for sticking your neck out,
for going against the establishment,

for giving us all hope.

The world needs more people like you.
Thank you.

l was stunned.
l was like-- kind of

everything went into slow motion
in my head.

- l saw Michael in the audience.
- l was looking for him.

- l sent a team--
- l decided not to point them out

when l got booed. Like 10 people
booed me when l said something.

- Did you-- really?
- Yeah, right near the front.

- l didn't hear the boos.
- Good.

My big thing in life is not
about vote for this person

or vote for that person or vote
for this cause or vote for that cause.

My thing is, take responsibility

for yourself and the world around you.

She should keep
politics out of it.

l thought l was coming to a music show,
not a political democratic convention.

lt's foolish for anyone
to think that at any time,

that they're being looked after
or that their government

is protecting them
and taking care of them.

- Are my friends in here?
- Yes!

l think it's important to vote
because it means

that the person is taking charge

and being involved
in the community that they live in

or the world that they live in.

- lt was amazing.
- That was very generous.

lt's only one aspect,
you know what l mean?

There's a thousand trillion billion
other things that we need to do as well.

l think a lot of people

tonight were very moved

by what she said,

the songs she sang,
the video up on the screen.

The image of the lsraeli
and the Palestinian child

arm in arm... man!

Everybody had tears
in their eyes around me.

And, uh...

because everybody wants
to live in that world.

Everybody is sick and tired
of the way it is.

l've always thought that my job
was to wake people up.

But it's not enough
just to wake people up.

You've got to wake people up
and give them a direction.

You've got to wake people up and give
them tools about how to deal with life.

You've got to wake people up
and give them solutions.

Otherwise they're gonna
fall back asleep again.

ln harvest-time,
in the fall,

we usually go to each field.

We'll pick 100 berries
and we'll crush them in a little bag.

And then we run sugar tests
on them, acidity and pH.

Then we have to make a decision
whether we want to leave them

out there or bring them in
and do adjustments

in the laboratory.

We used to come here every year.

All our kids came up here,
even Madonna.

l used to always reward her
for achievement.

She was an achiever.

She was.

My relationship
with my father when l was younger

is very different
than what it is now.

When l was younger,
l didn't understand my father.

The fact that she lost her mother
at such a young age

affected her in a very strong way,

as it affected all the kids.

So you have to learn to adjust
to the new situations,

adjusting to Joan
and the new family structure.

And that's not easy.

Going into the entertainment business
was probably

that venue or at that avenue

of expression that she needed

to fulfill her own needs.

l couldn't wait to leave.

l couldn't wait to go to New York.

l wanted to be an artist
and my dad wanted

to protect me in his way.

He truly felt that the only way
for me to have

happiness in life
was to get a college degree,

to be a lawyer or a doctor
or one of those dependable jobs,

which gave me more fuel
to be angry with him.

When you're young, you're not thinking
about all that other stuff.

You're just thinking about where
you are, what you're doing,

how you're gonna get ahead.
And as we get older,

we learn what's important.

So, l got pregnant...
with my daughter.

And l just was like, ''Holy shit.''

And l don't really know what
l'm going to teach her about life

when l'm not really sure l understand
what the meaning of life is.

So that really was
the turning point for me.

l now see that my father
went through hell,

and l see the struggles
that my father had

and the sacrifices he made
to raise eight children.

So it took me awhile to grow up.

As she grew up
and became popular,

l mean, there's things
she's said and did

that l found totally dissatisfying.

When l was running around
getting my pictures taken

in lockers of gay porn theaters
and stuff like that--

that's something
a dad can be proud of.

He's my new boyfriend.

But to me it was like
a growing process.

She's growing up.

And instead of growing up at home

with us, she's growing up
with the world.

Heavenly Father, thank you for
the blessings You bestow on all of us,

the life You have given us,

the air we breathe,
the people we spend our life with;

give them strength to endure
and to go on with their performance.

Thank You for all Your blessings.

- Amen!
- Amen.

Dad, l'm going to swear now.
Don't be upset, okay?

We're gonna tear the roof
off this fucker-- oooh!

- Because we--
- Rock the house!

- Because you--
- Are the shit!

- Because l--
- Am the queen!

- Because he--
- ls your dad!

Whoo!

l still can't swear
in front of my dad.

What l saw at last night's
performance

was a more positive...

outreaching of her to the public.

Her concern for the world,
for people,

to me that's maturity.

Werner's gonna stay
and bring your parents up.

Were they in the chaser car?

We were behind you.
They were in--

Were they in front, l think?

- They was in front.
- Yeah.

- Did it seem like they had a good time?
- Great time.

Good.

Oh, Dad?
Did you like it?

l thought it was very good.

l said, ''At one point here,
she's gonna--

go down, break in half.''

l kind of liked-- you had the
religious theme there, l saw all the--

the Cabbalah
and the Jesus and all that.

And l thought that was very nice.

l've looked at the Cabbalah thing.
l've read some of the books she gave
me.

So to me, there's nothing in Cabbalah
that's not in the Scripture.

That was probably the most positive
concert you ever put on.

- Trying to make a difference.
- l was impressed with that.

l finally pulled my head
out of my ass.

ln the end, you know,
we all believe in one god.

l think most people do.

Gosh. Wow.

Las Vegas isn't so bad after all.

There's a television
in the bathtub.

- But how do you switch the channels?
- The shower's not bad either, luv.

This is so much fun. Ooooh.

- Guy?
- Yeah?

- Where are you?
- Someone's making some money

around here.

Baby, we're gonna
hit the town tonight!

Okay, let's all say
a prayer tonight

so we can get
through the show.

l mean, this is-- l speak
for everybody, l think.

- Yeah.
- l just-- l don't wanna react

to all the Japanese businessmen
playing with their Blackberries

during my songs...

or people leaving every time
l sing a ballad to get hot dogs.

lt's okay, l'm not upset.

l'll still keep on singing.
l'm not gonna care.

l'm just gonna channel light,
and fuck their hot dogs.

- Bring it in. Bring it in.
- One, two, three--

sorry-ass motherfuckers!

Dirty. Dirty. Dirty.

l was in a very bad mood this afternoon,
so l wrote this poem--

''l have a cage,
it's called the stage.

When l'm let out,
l run about,

Then sing and dance
and sweat and yell,

l have
so many tales to tell.

l like to push things
to the edge,

And inch my way
along the ledge.

l feel like God,
l feel like shit,

the paradox,
an even split...''

More sound--
say ''ah, eh, ih.''

''lt's just a job,
l always say,

l should be grateful
every day.

Sometimes l think
l just can't do it,

but l persist
and l get through it.

And l console myself
each night...''

l got married
for all the wrong reasons.

And when my husband
didn't turn out to be everything

l imagined he'd be,

l just wanted to end
everything.

There's no such thing
as the perfect soul mate.

lf you meet someone
and you think they're perfect,

you better run as fast as you can
in the other direction

'cause your soul mate is the person
that pushes all your buttons,

pisses you off
on a regular basis

and makes you face
your shit.

Catch a big one, boy.

- Oh...
- Oh!

- Look how pretty that is
- Wow.

- lt is a fat one.
- l catch a fish.

Look-- look at that tail--
a little action.

lt's not easy
having a good marriage,

but l don't want easy.
Easy doesn't make you grow.

Easy doesn't
make you think.

l thank God every day
that l'm married to a man

that makes me think.

That's my definition
of true love.

- Ow!
- How many is that?

- Four.
- No. Seven plus one

is...

- A lot.
- A lot?

- Did you want to cut it?
- l need my fish back.

Hospital for sick children,
and l read a book to them.

l read my mom's book
''The English Roses,''

and l passed out two other books
that my mom wrote.

But ''English Roses''
is about not seeing the big picture,

- and not being like--
- Whatever.

- Don't talk about this.
- lf you-- okay, see,

say, if l uh...

if l looked at Yvonne
and l thought...

- ''She's--''
- Don't talk about this.

''She's so pretty and she's so popular,
but like, l don't really know

who the person who she is inside.
And l don't really think--''

Oh, don't talk

- about this!
- Rocco! Don't yell at me!

And she didn't have her mother.
Her mother died.

And-- and she like--

- she tried to make dinner like--
- Her mother died?

What the heck
are you talking about?

That's very right!

- You got your board in the water.
- Lola!

Go!

Ow! Dude,
don't burn me.

- Angie, can you make me my shake?
- Yeah.

Chris Lamb is swearing it's gonna rain

- in Dublin.
- What kind of negative bullshit

- is that?
- Well, l guess when it rains--

- it rains really a lot.
- Listen, it's not gonna rain,

- okay?
- No, it won't.

And you better have rubber soles
on all my shoes.

l just can't wait
to have a drink.

'Cause l hadn't had a drink
in 20 weeks.

20 weeks!
You just wait and see

how much fun
l'm gonna be.

- Okay.
- Whoo!

Oh yeah!

- See you fuckers at the party!
- Whoo!

Someone thought it would be
funny to switch my shorts

- during the show.
- Yeah, l thought you had a good ass.

Can you just walk away
for us?

- Work it, sir. Work it.
- Yeah, Papi!

We're gonna go
to the Delano and have an ''orggy.''

We can have
a metaphysical ''orggy.''

lt's where you just have an orggy
for the sake of sharing.

This is my first drink
in 20 weeks.

We're here in London
having a great time.

The prices are pretty high. The weather
is kind of shitty, cloudy and rainy.

These fuckers--
they don't like London.

Tight, too stiff. l think they
got something stuck up their ass.

Uh, yeah... most of the time
it's our fingers.

l'll take this off
and put that on.

- Did you get this from Cher?
- No!

lt's actually a necklace.
Oh, wow, it fits you.

- You're so petite.
- But-- yeah, right.

- lt needs to be lower.
- My thighs are the biggest part

- of my body.
- No, you are.

- This is getting really stinky.
- l've been washing it.

- l put a dress shield in it too.
- Dude, l'm spraying perfume on it.

- This is her ltalian shower.
- You don't have any body odor.

My French horse bath.

- Those big, fat ltalian thighs.
- Oh, stop.

- Do you think it looks good, Andy?
- Uh-huh.

No? See? lf two fags say no,
you know you're in trouble.

- Am l done?
- Mm-hmm.

l stink. l sprayed
the hell out of it, but--

lt's hard to be that bad.
Hallelujah.

Come on, chop-chop.
l can't breathe in there.

- Oh, hair and makeup check.
- Oh.

- Oh, hell!
- Okay.

Nice, nice.

- No way, it's funny.
- That's what you think.

- Nine and a half.
- Chris, it's getting madly tense.

- Oh, shit.
- We need the door shut,

and we need some silence. l thought
we should have a very special treat,

and ask Reshma to sing
her beautiful song.

- Yeah.
- All right, okay.

God,

please take me
from untruth to eternal truth,

from deep darkness
to eternal light.

From great death,
take me to Your sweet nectar.

Lord, please
protect and defend us,

as we do Your work.

Let our knowledge shine
and become divine to the world.

Let us never fight each other
or become envious of each other,

yet stay united
together forever.

- Amen.
- Amen.

- Band, please.
- Come on, knock 'em dead, Stuart.

- Watch out.
- Play that axe, baby.

Namaste, namaste.

My dad was the one
who always told me

that my dancing would never
get me anywhere in life.

l was like, ''You know, other people
have different dreams in their lives.

l definitely have to follow mine,
because otherwise, l'll be miserable.''

Fuck, it's so cold out here.

- Gonna steal our fucking clothes.
- Sniff them later.

Thanks. Bye, Guy.

l need a raise,
and l'm not talking about money.

Every time she changes costumes,
she comes in here,

takes off what she's wearing,
puts on the new costume,

refreshens, touches up.

Usually, l try to meet her out where
she's coming down on the lift

and, like, have a flashlight.

She can kinda see
where she's going.

The trick is you have
to guide her.

She has ear monitors in.

So she's listening to that or she's
thinking about something on stage.

Sometimes you have to grab her
and remind her that she has to sit down.

You have a quick change.

A lot of stress
can develop in this room,

or it can go very smoothly
if everything's prepared.

The funny thing is that people
think that the show is on the stage,

because that's where all
the audience is.

But the show is really
in the quick change.

One, two, three, four...

lt's not easy
being a rock star.

''Kabbalah'' come from
the ancient word in Aramaic,

''lekabel,'' which is learning
how to receive.

Every action that you do,

every thought that you inject,

every energy that you release
has a consequence.

And when you understand this,
you realize ''l would like

to choose those thoughts
or those behaviors

of these certain ways of thinking

that will plant seeds

to create blessings,

positive things
versus chaos and negativity.''

Let's say l have less ups
and downs in my life.

l mean, l'm not gonna lie.

l had some pretty good times

throughout all of my life,
but l also was kind of like...

a spinning wheel
in many respects.

Life seemed to be a series
of random events for me.

Sometimes
l was ecstatically happy

and sometimes l was depressed.

l seemed to be a bit more careless
with people back in those days

and not very nice.

l don't miss being an idiot.

l want to thank you guys
for pulling the slack...

l just feel like l know
so much more than l ever did before.

And sometimes l say to myself,
''What was l thinking

before l was thinking?''

But l won't say
that l didn't have any fun.

But you know,
sometimes fun is overrated.

That was definitely the sweatiest
show l ever did.

We kept it together well.
l actually had fun.

l heard, ''Low costume.

The shields need to be washed.
Tony knows that.''

Yes, my corset really stinks.

My monologues
are getting longer and longer.

That l've noticed.

l'm just buying time,
so l can catch my breath.

This is what we call
skanky hair.

Should we call Guy?

lt was really good,
the best show yet.

Mm-hmm.
lt was great.

Anyway, it's very quiet
in your pub.

You're the only ones
in the pub?

Okay, is that a half an hour
in the real world

or is that a half an hour
in your world?

Guy!

Pubs close at 1 1 :00.

They opened the pub
for Guy.

And that's why he didn't come
to the show, not because--

he's such a bad liar.

Why do boys even try to lie?

You just want my booty
on your lap.

Hey!
What do you think?

- lt's full of iron.
- Good for you.

- No, this is nasty.
- To you, baby.

lt just tastes like
dirty water.

- Just about 25 minutes.
- Oh, yuck.

Should we do a sound check
like normal?

- Yeah, l think we should, yeah.
- And it's not Alaska.

Yeah, and since it's not raining now,
we should start this.

Please don't hurt yourself.
You've got too many shows to do.

Great.
Come on, Siedah, sing it.

One more time.

l don't know the other words.

Come on, everybody now.

The best sound l've ever heard
in my life.

- See that sun?
- That's gonna stay, ma'am.

Yes.

We've just gone from one
extreme to the next--

boiling hot with fans
on me in London,

to ''l'm sure that Hydro's
gonna be in the pit

with some heaters.''

But l can take it, can't l?
'Cause l'm tough.

They forgot about lggy.

That's so cool. l hope he doesn't
take a shit on my stage.

'Cause, you know,
he likes to break glass

and cut himself

and set fire to things.

So l'm gonna have to have
a word with him.

Hey hey hey.
Hello!

- lgnore my house.
- Hey, thanks for having us.

Thanks for doing this.
l'm a huge fan of yours.

Thanks for having us.
This is really cool, yeah.

- ls that all you're gonna wear?
- That's all l'm gonna wear.

- You're fucking crazy, man.
- Yeah well, a little bit.

l hope you plan
on moving around a lot.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay, have a great show.

- Thanks a lot for doing this.
- Okay, thanks for having us.

- Nice to meet you.
- Okay okay.

- Bye.
- Yeah, have fun.

- All right, cool.
- Bye.

Very cool.

She doesn't mind sharing one minute
on the little platform.

l'm just asking God
to delay the rain.

Delay the rain
till 1 1 :30.

Just this one small thing.

Please be safe.

Do not do anything
impulsive tonight.

Watch each other's backs.

Tap into your sixth sense.

Take care of one another
and take care of yourself.

And most of all,
have a great great show, amen.

Amen!

Oh, shit.
This is my dream come true right here.

Look at this.

80,000 people.

Big castle in the background.

A full moon that
everyone says

sailed over the stage
as soon as l arrived.

l felt so much love
and joy and...

l couldn't believe that
the people in the audience

just stood there
for six hours in the rain

and didn't move.

But on the other hand,

it was freezing cold.

lt was raining off and on
through the whole show.

When l was singing
''Nothing Fails,''

l was outside the coverage
of my stage and the rain was pelting me.

And Hydro, God bless him,
stuck up an umbrella.

lt was so difficult
to do my show.

l felt like
l was in a war zone.

And l had to keep
looking out for things,

like slipping off of railings,
sliding on the floor

and jumping into puddles.

l was constantly worried
for the dancers.

So l was kind of traumatized
through the whole show.

lntense, extreme.

And then when the show ended,
l don't remember what happened.

l don't actually remember
singing a song

or doing a dance step.

Well, l finally made it
to a pub.

Only it's not in lreland,
it's in London.

And the reason l never made it
to a pub in lreland

is 'cause my husband ditched me
at the castle we were staying at.

And when l came out
of the bathroom, he was gone.

We had a huge fight
when he got home,

and l didn't speak
to him for 24 hours.

But l moved on.

This is called The Punchbowl.

And we come here
all the time.

But tonight it's a special
occasion 'cause it's Guy's birthday.

Drinks on the house.

Come in.

l'm gonna pull a pint for you.
ls that okay?

Please, Mrs. Ritchie,
you get in there and pour me a pint.

George Best says,
''Watch your head.''

lt's not George Best, darling,
it's Courage Best.

You don't mind if there's
a lot of foam, do you?

Yes, l do.
l care a lot about the foam.

- There you are, love.
- That is a perfect pint.

Thank you very much, darling.

She's great,
the farmer's daughter.

Do you know how many times
l've heard these songs?

l wanna go home.

- Kiddy-widdy-winkies, come along.
- Hi, Mom.

- Did l get a good room, Roccs?
- Yes.

No, we've hit a dead end.

- Oh my God.
- No, that is not cool.

Mom, do you think we can
go in the sauna sometime?

Did you see my bedroom?

lt's the best bedroom ever.

lt's actually not that fancy.

- Oh, please.
- lt's kind of a decadent--

lt's kind of like a mediocre hotel
posing as a decadent hotel.

- 'Cause who's the queen, Rocco?
- You you you.

Very good, very good.

Let's go see
where your rooms are.

- Pick up your shoes.
- ''We're not gonna leave our shoes.''

- Come on.
- ''We're not gonna leave our shoes.''

We're going to
Katia Labeque's house.

She's a concert pianist.
She lives with her sister Marielle.

And l just wanted to give
the band and the dancers

a treat, 'cause, you know,
they're used to going to discos

and nightclubs and pubs

and they might not even know
what classical music is.

How are you, ma cherie?

So great to see you.

- Sorry l'm late. This is Katia.
- Hi.

She's the hostess
with the mostest.

Where's my champagne?
Hello.

- Show time.
- Okay, this is Katia

and this is Marielle,
and they're my favorite pianists

in the whole world
and two lovely girls,

and we're so honored
to be in their house.

l thought it was good for them to see
a number of artists performing

from a different world.

They got quite serious.

And it was good for them
to see passion

and expression, but coming
from a completely different sensibility.

Thank you.

lt was the best.

Thank you so much.
You're the best.

- lsn't it great?
- Thank you so much. lt was amazing.

ls this the part
where you feed me?

- Yes.
- Okay, great l'm starving.

- Who's there? Hi, baby. Come.
- Hi, Mom.

- What's up with the bathing suit?
- We're going to the pool, okay?

- Wait, how was school today?
- Good good good good.

- How about a kiss and a hug?
- Yeah.

Yeah, don't sound so bored.

l know. l'm not bored
because l'm meeting Honor at the pool.

- Wait, l have to ask you something.
- Yes, Mom.

'Cause l'm gonna say it
tonight on stage.

How do you say...

''l'm going to tell you
a secret''?

Bye, love you, too.
Have fun in the pool.

Okay.

l read my prayers.
l read my Zohar.

And then l read
''Gone With the Wind.''

Yes, that's how l get to sleep.
l always read fiction.

'Cause that takes me out
of the world that l'm in.

But l always read the Zohar,
which can also be very soothing,

as a kind of decoding
of the Torah or the Old Testament.

So if you want to
read things literally,

you read the Old Testament,
and if you want to understand

the hidden meanings of the Torah,
you read the Zohar.

''Rabbi Abba sat at the gate
of the city Lod.

He saw a man sitting on a ledge
protruding from a mountainside.

He was weary from the road,

so he sat down and slept.

While he was sleeping,
he saw a snake coming toward him.

A reptile emerged
and killed the snake.

When the man woke up,
he saw the dead snake.

He stood up and the ledge, which
had been torn from the mountain,

fell to the valley below.

Thus, he was saved,

for had he risen
a moment later,

he would have fallen
together with the ledge

into the valley
and been killed.

Rabbi Abba came to him
and said, 'What have you done

that the Holy One, blessed be He,
performed for you two miracles?'

And the man said, 'ln all my days

l forgave and made peace with
any man who did evil by me.

Thus, l did not harbor
hatred all that day

for the harm he did me.

Moreover, from that day on,
l tried to do kindness by them.'''

lt's the hardest thing
in the world to do.

l mean, can you imagine
forgiving people that, you know,

fuck you over?
--for lack of a better word;

To actually get to the end
of your day and go,

okay, we all have people that
piss us off and make us angry

and hurt our feelings--
but to get to the end of that day

and not only forgive them,

but to wish them well?

- Monday, l return to London.
- Yeah?

They have a Royal Movement
from 10:40 to 1 1 :20,

and so we can't land during
that slot, so l wanted to know

- if you wanted to push up or back.
- What is Royal Movement?

That means either the Queen
or one of her children

are coming in and out,
and we're not allowed to land.

Did l say l wanted
to leave at 1 1 :00?

- You did.
- l don't remember that.

- What if we left at noon?
- Fine.

- Would that be even better?
- That would be even better.

And that's good
for Royal Movement?

There's not room for two queens
in that country?

Okay, people, we're just getting
this party started!

This is the no-sitting-down song,
people over there in the seats.

Come on, get up.
l wanna see you dancing.

Come on, put your hands together.

Thank you.

lt was a lot more calmer than l
thought it was gonna be, you know?

All the tours l hear about,

l hear about sex, drugs, rock and roll,
and everybody partying and going out.

Double-dutch, booty clap.

l don't really like
wasting time going out and partying.

l like to do something productive.

And action!

l don't care what l do.
l'll work at a cafe.

l worry about the dancers.

l don't know what l'm gonna do
after the tour.

They're younger than everybody,
and a lot of them,

this is their first experience of,
you know, seeing the world.

l'm gonna call people in L.A.
and hopefully get my own place

and then start.
Whatever happens happens.

He's gonna move to L.A.
and make sandcastles

and put a hat out there.

She influenced me and motivated me
to try harder for my dreams.

'Cause the show is tiring as hell,
especially for Madonna.

l can only imagine. She's singing
and dancing and doing all her shit.

l really gotta shave.

Bikini wax.
Girl, you be looking bushy.

Dancers don't get rich.
We suck.

Cloud, you suck.

l want them to push themselves.

Cloud is probably the most focused
young man l've ever met in my life.

l don't want them to accept mediocrity
from the minute they leave my sight.

Here l am, a skateboarder. l had no idea
it was gonna be this great.

Bam, right back--

right back to the crowd.

l think there's a lot
of sadness going on because

some people after this,
as far as the dancers, myself,

we're like, ''Okay,
what are we gonna do?''

l think a lot of people
have become really good friends.

Each and every one of them
are beautiful people.

We became one.
That's what blows me away

is everything just go--

One gigantic family.

Bam, right back--

right back to the crowd.

This light that we're supposed
to be shining back, as Madonna says,

we're doing it.

We're getting fed by the crowd.

The more we get fed by the crowd,
the more we are giving back.

Bam, right back--

right back to the crowd.

Unified world love.

And that's it.

Oi! Oi! That's how
they say ''hello'' here.

- You look like Princess Leia.
- Thank you.

You didn't give me
a birthday present.

The picture of me and Cher?

- That was not a present.
- lt wasn't?

- Well, let's get on with the program.
- l just have a question.

What's with the Princess Leia thing?
ls that like...

Oh, shit.
See what you made me do, Gene?

My bun came out.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Thank you.
l'll be here all night.

Waiter, waiter,
there's a slug on my lettuce.

Oh, don't worry, madam,
we won't charge extra for that.

- Knock knock.
- Who's there?

- Arthur.
- Arthur who?

Are there any more biscuits
in the tin?

Waiter, waiter,
this coffee tastes like earth.

That's because it was
ground yesterday.

- Knock knock.
- Who's there?

- Justin.
- Justin who?

Just in time for the party.

- Who's there?
- Wilma.

- Wilma who?
- Will my lunch be ready soon?

l tell jokes and you don't laugh
at them. You're my straight man.

You're funniest when you're
bollocking people.

- l'm Jerry and you're Dean.
- Yeah, but-- no, you've got to rant.

What are you all standing
around for?

See, that's it.
That's funny already.

l'm sorry.
l watched ''Star Wars,'' okay?

l felt inspired.

Okay, that's enough.

Shh.

Do you wanna go home,
back to L.A., Rocco?

Oh, no-- oh, yeah.

Bye!

We're only allowed to watch
movies on Sunday,

but sometimes Saturday night
is our episode night,

so we get to watch
two episodes of something.

Ooh, you're gonna take me on then?

Okay, that's enough.

So do you love...

love, love your sister?

- Let him go, stop.
- l know you're gonna say no.

l'm happy to go back to L.A.

And l'm happy to see my friends,
and l'm happy to get my mom back

for me and only
because l said so,

and Rocco's not gonna have her
at all.

Because she's my mom.

Even though she's Rocco's mom, too.

And Rocco gets her all the time
when she's on the tour,

because he demands it.

Hey.

Thanks, Sarah. Bye.

Why am l so tired?

Today, it's just like, ''Okay.''

All l do is make mental checklists
every five minutes.

Who do l write thank you cards to,

and what am l gonna say
in the prayer

and how am l gonna thank
the crew during the show?

l just gotta remember everything,

everything and everyone,
'cause today is my last chance.

Ah! One more show.

l'm just sad.

l couldn't have asked
for anything better.

lt was perfect. l'll miss having
that mic up in my head,

like a flying penis above me.

Take it like Tony would.
Come on. Take it like Tony would.

l'm a top.
She doesn't get it.

l wrote you a letter.
lt's not a letter.

- lt's a poem.
- lt's a poem, all right. l love poems.

- Okay, don't laugh.
- l'm not gonna laugh.

''You started your career
before l was born.

To dance for Madonna,
who thought l'd be chosen?

She took a chance
on me to see

lf l was funny
as she thought l would be.

The tour's almost over,
with one show left,

l guess that's the good thing
'cause the diva needs her rest.

You rock the world
one show at a time,

And to you from me,
Madonna, goodbye.''

Oh, Aries, that's beautiful.

- You like?
- l love it.

All right, have a great
last show, okay?

Yes, thank you for helping me
realize my dream.

Oh, anytime.

- Okay, l'll hold you to it.
- Okay.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- l have a present for you.
- What?

Um, it's a guitar.

- And l wanted to thank you...
- Oh, my--

...for everything.

- Thank you so much.
- You're so welcome.

- Oh my God, are you serious?
- But you gotta promise me one thing.

You're gonna write some good
fucking music on it, okay?

- l will.
- And do something good with your life.

- l hope so.
- l think you're off to a good start.

l have to get out of here
before l cry.

Okay, yeah, get out of here
before l cry.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

Today is the last show.

Of course,

about five minutes ago,
l got my period.

At least-- the only thing
l can say about it

- is that my boobs look great.
- Yeah.

See, l'm not on my period.

Yeah, look at that.

Yoo-hoo, yoo-hoo.
Hello?

David?

Okay, for the next two hours
l'm still fucking in charge.

Now, get in a circle.

That's right, that's right.

This is the end...

or the beginning,
depending on how you look at it.

lt's hard to believe that we finally
reached this moment.

When l think
back to our rehearsal period

and all the trials and tribulations,
the blood, the sweat and the tears,

it's hard to imagine that we've
been through so much together,

that we've accomplished
so much.

l thought about the looks on your faces
when l said you had the job.

l think about
how happy l was

to see Marlyn and Tamara again.

And l thought about
how l was sure

that Zach was straight
and Jason was gay.

Oh, shit.

l thought about how l thought
Mihran was lranian,

not Armenian.

l remember Jamie telling me
it would be a big mistake

if l hired Aries 'cause he's too young
and he would be too high maintenance,

but l said, ''No, l gotta have him.
He makes me laugh.''

lt's true. l thought about
what a pain in the ass

Dawn was gonna be asking
to take her dog on the road.

- Yes.
- lt's true.

l thought about Cloud
and his amazing brilliance

and uniqueness.

And from the minute
l saw him, l thought,

''l have to have him
in my show.''

l thought about the beauty
of Raistalla and Reshma.

And l looked at Paul and said,
''How can one white man be so funky?''

You're right.

l thought about when l cut Seth
in New York

and then l went out
into the hallway

and l saw him sobbing
in the corner.

l just thought, ''l have
to hire him. l don't know why.''

Just... he wanted
the job so bad.

And of course
l thought about...

the talents of Serge
and Lorne

who come from such different worlds,
but we are so blessed to have them here.

Donna, thank you
for doing it again.

You've been with me
the longest.

And Siedah, how many years
did we talk about working together?

Ooh, l'm patient.

And then there's my band,

who l've worked with before,
each and every one of them,

and l'm so lucky
to have you back again.

And Stuart, please--

l mean, thank you.

l mean, l couldn't have
done it without you.

l'm sorry l didn't get
to hang out with you guys

as much as l wanted to,
but...

l have another family
and one day you will know...

the pull of work and family,

and the struggle
to keep it all balanced.

We've come so far, and everyone's
become better at what they do.

You're better musicians
and you're better dancers,

and you're better singers
and you're better performers...

But above all l hope

that you go out into the world
when this tour ends,

and that you are

more compassionate
to other human beings

and more responsible
for your actions and your words,

because without
those two things

your gifts and your talents
mean nothing.

l thank you and love you
from the bottom of my heart.

We love you too.

We love you.

One, two, three!

They're living a fantasy
right now:

being on tour with Madonna,
traveling, seeing the world,

being loved by Madonna's fans.
lt's a whole thing for them

that l'm sure is very surreal,
so l can understand

that they would be sad,
but they just need to remember

this is a great experience.
lt is about the moment,

the experience-- you live it
and then you move on.

We love you, Madonna.

We love you.
We thank you.

ln a parallel universe,
the tour's only just begun.

l'm gonna meet
with the Prime Minister of lsrael.

- l don't know what l'm gonna say.
- lt doesn't matter. lt'll come to you.

Hey, dude, l fucking have
the balls to go there.

You have to have the balls to go there.
l'm fucking high profile.

Yeah, you have more
security than l do.

l have so much security...
l'm not bringing my children.

- Good for you. You know what?
- Yeah, that's a little freaky--

That's really good,
that you're doing that.

They would be stuck
in the hotel rooms.

lt's gonna be an adventure.

Um, l wanted to say,
thank you all once again

from the bottom
of my heart,

um...

for this unbelievable
experience.

And l just had one more thing
that l wanted to say.

- Glasses.
- Um... thank you.

Where's Angie?

This is my present
to you.

l've written a poem.

All right,

here-- here goes.

''Some secrets,
they are better left unsaid,

Or in this case, much better
when they're read.

l'm known to write
a witty verse or two

Regarding things important
and/or true,

But now l'm creeping 'round
like a tarantula

Just looking for some words
that rhyme with 'Angela.'

You see me dancing 'round
up there each night,

And belting out my songs
with all my might.

l'm showered with affection
and applause,

But here is where
l'd like you to take a pause

For somewhere in the back,
in a small nook,

ls Angie, staring
at her Powerbook.

She's sorting out what
l will eat and wear.

The luggage, planes and cars
are in her care.

She's gathering my icepacks
and my shake,

And picking up debris
left in my wake.

She chases
barking dogs away at night

And when something
is wrong,

She makes it right.

She does her job
with elegance and grace,

And when she's down,
she puts on her best face.

l've seen her deal
with every kind of jerk,

And when we're all asleep,
she's still at work.

The secret must be told,
and l'm insistent:

The real star of my show

ls my assistant.''

l love you so much.

You take care
of your crazy self, all right?

- l love you. You love me?
- l-- l--

What is up with you,
you weirdo?

Well, l think l have
to go now.

Stuart, l gotta go.

l know.
l'm just finishing up here.

l--

Stuart!

Ow!
Who's the daddy?

Who's gonna have
a black eye tomorrow?

l think l'm blind
in my right eye.

l don't-- don't say goodbye.
This isn't the end.

l know.

Wait, my hand's stuck
in Stuart's ass.

- What's going on up here?
- Here you go, ma'am.

Oh, dear.

- l'll see you all bright and early.
- Oh, you will, ma'am.

Hey, l've got an idea.
Let's go to lsrael tomorrow.

- Let's go, let's go.
- Excellent.

Okay, l have a huge ego
and l need to do something about it.

And l need to change.

And how can l change?

The only way l can change
is to constantly work at it.

And l need to change.

And how can l change?

Knowing is the beginning.

Knowing more and learning more

and achieving more.

The minute you stop
wanting to know more,

that's when you stop growing.
And that's when you die.

And that's when--

that's when you're nothing.

A touchdown at Tel Aviv is hardly
a step straight back into history

because--

What is going on?

''lt is my delight and pleasure
to welcome you to lsrael

and to David
lnter-Continental Hotel.''

Look at this.
This is the hookup, okay?

And a bit of kosher champagne--
not.

- The view is so beautiful. Oh my God.
- The view of what, Rachel?

''Excitement that your visit
has generated throughout the country

is truly heartwarming,
not only as ambassadors of good will,

but showing the kind of solidarity
that has been sorely lacking

in these past few years,
choosing...

the Jewish high holidays''--
That's not why l am here.

Today, which is the first day
of Rosh Hashanah,

we have the opportunity

to eliminate
negative consciousness

that usually would create
the destiny and the future

for the coming year.

ln the Catholic church,
you say to the priest,

''Bless me, Father, for l have sinned,''
and then the priest says,

''l absolve you of your sins. Say three
Hail Marys and four Our Fathers,

and get the fuck out of here.''
l mean, that's not work.

Rosh Hashanah is the time
where you can reflect back

on the whole year
and try to find every area

where you short-circuited
or caused chaos in someone's life.

You have to go through the year
and be perfectly honest with yourself

and say, ''Okay,
where did l fuck up?''

And to me that's like
the real version of confession.

What the Cabbalah teaches
is essentially what Jesus teaches,

which is to love
your neighbor as yourself.

But l keep forgetting it
every time somebody pisses me off.

So far, Cabbalah is the only thing
that has worked for me.

All the solutions,
all the answers,

all the fulfillment
are right here.

What's missing
is to remove the blindfolds,

which-- those are
our negativities.

One shell can be a person
is major victim.

Another shell can be
major selfishness.

Another shell can be
major ego.

Another shell can be,
''l don't believe l can do it.''

These shells that are blocking us
from connecting to the light.

The world is filled
with chaos--

personal chaos
and global chaos--

famine, crime,

hatred, pollution.

When you come
to a dark room,

you want to eliminate
the darkness,

turn on the light.

What we need
to talk about is

- the Rachel Tomb...
- Yeah?

...which is actually
in the Occupied Territory.

- Right.
- We cannot go in armed.

The police doesn't escort us.
lt's only the army.

- What if we just go in like on a--
- We can't.

The police is not giving us
authority to go through--

- as of security.
- Oh, they're telling us

we're not allowed to go? So how
do they go to get the red string?

They go in groups,
once the army tells them

that they can go in.

But as of our visit for tonight,

the police is not
allowing us to go in there.

l know that it's possible.
You're just saying

tonight they're
not giving us access?

The police said no--
a complete no.

We've been given
blanket protection by the police.

Uh-huh. What if l just went with
a group of people and l was incognito

- and l changed the way l look...
- No.

...and l wear a wig and my identity--
and l didn't go as me?

- But it's still not safe.
- This is going

to an Occupied Territory,
which is described as a war zone.

- We can't carry firearms--
- All of lsrael is described

- as a war zone.
- 21 people were blown up

three years ago.
lt is a war zone.

Danny the security guard said
that it's more dangerous in New York.

Just to let you know.

They said we can't go. l don't wanna get
killed. l don't want you to get killed.

- They're warning us.
- Well, God forbid.

This is their country.
They're telling us and giving us advice

- that we should really listen to.
- Okay.

- Fine.
- All right, l'm sorry for that,

- but uh...
- l'll get you back.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

Fuckers.

Pussy fuckers.

l'm going to Rachel's Tomb
anyways.

We have the coverage
of the national police.

l understand that l don't have
police leading me out.

Danny, we go on that street...

- we make a right, that's it.
- Okay, you're...

Let's get arranged.

People know that she's here.
lt would be easy for them,

if l was an Arab terrorist,
to hit a target like her.

There is not a lot of places
in the world

that World War lll can start.
This is one of them.

- Ashlag tomb is fine.
- When you go inside of it,

- it's private?
- Uh-huh.

Okay.

Some people go to the street corner
where Jim Morrison died,

and other people go
to Graceland to touch the gates

where Elvis Presley
used to live.

l chose to go to the grave
of the Rav Ashlag

because he was
an amazing human being

and an incredible teacher.

What are these guys doing in here?

- They have to go.
- No. No.

- No no no.
- No photographers.

They're such liars.
They were cleared by who?

- Can you be there?
- Yes, l'm going here.

Rav Ashlag says that the perfection
of humanity already exists.

Our job is to lift the veils
that make us think that it doesn't.

We don't have to create
something out of nothing.

We just have to reveal
what's already there.

Hey hey hey hey hey!

l thought this was private.
l thought when you said we came in,

no one was gonna come in.

The only thing that's gonna
change the world

is spirituality,
not politics.

Politics go whichever way
the wind blows.

Politics doesn't offer
any real solutions to people.

Eitan asked us to close our eyes

and meditate on one personal
wish that we had,

one way where we could
effect change in the world.

l don't know what happened to me.
l just closed my eyes

and started to cry.

This could be better
if she come out of the window,

give us two pictures and--

You said one was enough.
Now you want two from the windows.

Princess Madonna.

Strange that the police
walked with the lady,

but this is the power
of the Cabbalah, yes?

l know that people think
l'm-- l'm a nut sometimes

or they think
l've joined a cult,

or they think l'm mad or whatever,
but l don't care

'cause they thought
all those things anyways.

l used to be in a cult.
lt's called the cult of life.

And like all cults,

you're not encouraged to have a voice,
you're not allowed to ask questions.

And if you do, you're not
gonna get a straight answer.

l don't wanna be
in that cult anymore.

l'm the director of a peace center
where our main goal

is to put Jews
and Arabs together.

Although it is very painful,

because of the long
lsraeli/Arab conflict,

l do believe that peace
will come one day to our country.

We almost studied every subject
in this world.

We invaded this space.
We went down in the ground,

looking for treasures.

Unfortunately,
we did not bother enough

to learn peace,
to study peace.

She can do a lot
in my opinion

as a woman of the world.

We need her help badly.

lsrael, according to the Zohar,
is the energy center of the world.

The energy in lsrael
is more powerful

than anywhere else
in the world.

That's why there's
so much conflict there.

That's why there's so much war
and suffering.

And the idea is that with this
collective consciousness

of 3,000 people, we can
change the energy of lsrael.

lf you can change the way
people think there,

then you can change the way
people think in the rest of the world.

First of all,
l would like to say

how happy l am
to be back in lsrael.

l couldn't think of a better place
to end my tour,

and l promise not to stay away
for another 10 years.

lt is also important

that all of you know
that l am not here

representing a religion.

l'm here as a student
of Cabbalah.

ln Cabbalah, we learn that
if we want something in life,

we have to give something.

lf we want compassion,

we have to give compassion.

lf we want tolerance,
we have to give tolerance.

lf we don't want to be judged,
then we must not judge.

At SFK, we teach children

to never think in a limited way.

And these children learn
that they have the power

to make miracles happen.

One day these children
will grow up

and they will not want violence.

They will not want war.
They will want peace.

We teach children

what we are trying
to learn as adults.

But the difference is
that children are more open,

they are more alive
and they do not see the world

in a fragmented way.
They're not thinking,

''Oh, he's a Muslim,''
or, ''She's a Jew.''

They do not judge one another
by the color of their skin

or the style of their headdress.

Sometimes it's hard to look out
into the big bad world

and feel a burning desire
to help your fellow man.

But maybe if you look at it
through the eyes of a child,

you will feel a tugging
at your heart.

Maybe you will want to give them
a better future

and maybe, just maybe,

you will then have the urge
to make the world

a better place yourself.

So l'm here to ask this
one question--

What are you waiting for?

When you look
at the destruction of the world

through the eyes of children,

sometimes it can make people
wake up more.

The forces of darkness

are powerful.

The worst peace is better
than the best war.

lt is time now to begin
to spread light and hope.

lf more people light more candles,

they will make
the darkness less dark.

We need to exchange ideas.

We need to know more
about each other.

We need love.

Without love,
l don't think there would be life.

Now do you understand my secret?
