-steady, use both hands at all times. That's some expensive technology you're holding!

Attaboy! *laughs* Look at you, Mr. Director! Mr. Big-Shot-Director over here! The next Steven Spielberg, goodness. Hon, come take a look, Jake's holding it like a professional.

Ohp, you're zooming in, bud. Look through the viewfinder. The... the little tube thing on the top... you know what, hold on.

Okay. So. The only button you need to worry about is this red one right here- don't press it right now! That's gonna start and stop thе recording. And never prеss the rewind button or else you might record over a precious memory. Alright? So we always want to keep the recording going forward, okay bud? Okay. We can always just start a new tape.

Now keep me centered. And get my good side! Ooh! Rrr! Hah!

Look at you, you're a natural. Are you sure I never taught you this before? It's like deja vu. You're so good, bud.

Oh, no, both hands, Jake. Jake! Both hands! Jake!
