The premise

Here’s the bit.

Self-styled acting guru Tairy Greene (Zach Galifianakis) opens his seminar for children with grand claims about the importance of acting and his own training, then moves on to Lesson 9, on body language. He quizzes the class about which part of an actor's body matters most, dismisses every answer, and reveals that it is the nose, demonstrating a string of accents and characters by squeezing it in different ways while the students copy him. When one boy sums up the lesson in his own words, Tairy angrily denies ever teaching it.

Highly quotable.

You're not a person unless you're acting!

Under the tutelage of Randy Tutelage.

Childhood is a joke!

I never said that. I'll never say that. Don't you ever, don't you ever say that again to me.
