MONDO EXTRAS

Now Jeff jumps topics, saying that he thought it was really weird that at the last minute, Yau Man didn't make much of a move to try to persuade "Dreamz" to stick to the deal they made. Yau Man says that he feels like this was a product of a certain stubbornness on his part, and that he refused to acknowledge as the time got closer that he had been wrong about "Dreamz," and that he needed to rely on more than just his belief that the kid would keep his word because it was his word. Once again, you can see on the face of "Dreamz" that this is what really bothers him and makes him worry. Every time someone he thinks is a really good person and a really good barometer says how sure they were that he would stick to the deal, I think he feels all over again that sick feeling like they were disappointed in him. Obviously, they're not saying they were impressed that he ultimately didn't keep his word, you know? It's just a reminder that his whole thing -- his whole "I am noble, I am 'Dreamz'" thing -- it worked on these people, and they believed it. And then...well, you know. In fact, when Yau Man finishes with the simple words, "I was wrong about him," then entire audience lets out this "awwwww," which I think sinks into the soul of "Dreamz" like a lead weight. There's nothing like a father figure -- remember, "Dreamz" made that allusion himself -- saying he was wrong about you after all.
