Stroker and Hoop2004

Hoop:
Ron, before you crush my skull, I want you to know something. I believe in you. You don't need a mind-control machine. You already have the power to touch America's heart.

Ron Howard:
No, it's not true.

Hoop:
Just look at that award in your hands.

[Ron looks at his trophy and realizes his problems]

Ron Howard:
I'm a phony. I made them vote for me. Years ago, I found this mind-control device on an alien crash site while on location for "Happy Days". You know how most child actors end up. I was -- I was scared. Then the CIA got wind of it and wanted me to perform experiments for them. I thought I was helping my country, but it got out of control. I'm just a lucky hack.

Hoop:
No, you're not. People loved "When Harry met Sally".

[Ron sobs while hugging Hoop]

Jenny:
Mr. Howard is need on set. Mr. Howard is needed on set.

Hoop:
Cleanse your soul, Ron. Confess. Your fans will still love you. If not, they weren't your fans to begin with.

Ron Howard:
Do you think so?

Hoop:
I know so.

Ron Howard:
[goes back to sobbing]
