Transcripts
hello everybody my name is Mark abl and
welcome to that's not my neighbor and
also welcome to the me that is
done with the final stretch of the movie
yay what does that mean well it doesn't
mean that it's going to come out next
week so if you were thinking that that's
what was going to happen you were wrong
wrong about many things and I'm going to
educate you but only when you can figure
out why I'm in a bathtub once you can
figure that out then I can tell you
exactly why I'm doing all the things
that I'm doing I'm going to do that
another video I just wanted to get into
recording again it's been so long like I
can't even explain why it's been
difficult for me to do anything other
than work on the movie but let me just
say I've been busy you remember that
video that I put out that was I was
tired you know I know I've said these
words before and I know that they've
lost all meaning but final stretch that
was real and I was and there's such a
thing as doing too much but not for me
and not for you and not for the people
in this neighborhood because
it's 1955 and I'm going to figure out
who's not my neighbor so this game you
probably have seen it but it's basically
papers please but for alternate people
not people whatever they are
alternates people impersonating well not
people but things that kind of look like
people sometime H record what am I
recording all
record neighbors killed oh no Doppel you
allow in captured do apples all right
whatever let's play around also I'm kind
of all right listen I'm going to be real
with you guys I'm going to be very real
I have to be very real with you
guys in my Sprints not only have I not
uploaded videos but there were a few
brand deals you know those things that I
very rarely get and rarely ever will get
again because I keep doing things like
work on a movie and then I say that I'm
going to do that brand deal and then I'm
not able to do that because the last
thing I want is for the only video to
come out while I'm working on a thing to
be a brand
deal well I got some brand deals that I
got to catch up on so I'm going to be
very real with you I have to do them
well I don't have to do anything but I'm
going to do them because I want to be
able to get sponsors at some point in
the future and we all got to pull
together for this we all got to do this
we're on the same team here so when you
see a sponsored video coming out very
soon about a couple different things
know that we all got to agree and rally
behind it and be super supportive about
it okay because you support my dreams
and these help my dreams okay and if you
don't know the transitive property of
how one thing affects the other and
affects my dreams then just be aware
smile and applaud that's all you got to
do just smile and
applaud okay let's play this before you
think I'm some kind of
other all right arcade mode h DD is
working on
it the doppelgangers you let in don't
kill you immediately but at the end of
The Run get a score rank at the end of
The Run according to your performance
possibility to find and complete
Chester's
quiz cool I don't know what any of that
means also is anyone
confused as to what's happening if
you've been keeping up with distractable
you'd know that I'm in a tub you still
don't know why but that was an
assignment that I gave to you to figure
out so work on that and yes I will put
out a whole video talking about my
experience with this movie and making it
but I'm just not I want to get back into
normal videos real soon I find this very
relaxing we'll see how relaxed I get
after a
while hold on there we go if you're
watching this film it's because you're
the new Dorman in your
building your job is to determine
whether the person who wants to enter
the building is a
doppelganger oo as everyone knows
doppelgangers have the ability to
transform into another person and
impersonate them as everyone knows but
some are not too good at it and could
generate
imperfections you have to pay close
attention to the appearance of your
neighbors also remember to fill out the
checklist for each
neighbor
uh-huh you can't miss any detail because
it could mean death for you and your
neighbor
oh this is the structure of your office
now we're going to explain how it works
all right I should pay attention to this
sometimes when I read things aloud like
for the video I don't actually take in
any of the information here's a security
window don't forget to observe very well
each individual who approaches okay on
the right you have the folders with all
the data of each neighbor according to
the respective floor okay can fill out
the checklist take one of the lists in
front of you okay receive documents from
this hatch okay if you determine that
the individual
isn't a doppelganger then allow them
into the building with these buttons
okay otherwise if you determine that it
is in fact a doppelganger press the
emergency button and call
3312 okay remember that
3312 to communicate with the DDD or any
apartment in your building use the
telephone in front of you okay good I
will do that your job is really
important so make sure you do it right
okay I get it
look I'm not trying to just speed
through here but they're being a little
slow finally we congratulate the dorant
of the month Henry who is dead
apparently it wasn't that he did an
excellent job but he was the only Dorman
in the area who didn't get killed by
doppelgangers never mind I was
completely wrong but be like Henry
okay but better okay am I supposed to
remember who Henry is am I supposed to
remember that picture I bet that was
important I bet it seems like a
throwaway oh hi welcome and
congratulations on your new job
thanks as you can see on the
introductory film your job is to verify
the
Integrity verify the entry of neighbors
okay hold on I can't hear
anything each day there will be a list
of individuals who will request is
possible that there are individuals who
request entry and aren't on the list
okay in which case you will mark on the
checklist that they are not on the list
and proceed to question the individual
okay also you must verify that the ID
and the entry requests are correct and
have the respective DDD
logo don't forget to also check the
expiration on the IDS month month year
year year year remember it's February
1955 I wish you good luck thanks do I
