Excerpted from the screenplay for Copper Strong:
INT. REHAB CENTER – DAY
COPPER CAB sits on the edge of the bed, fiddling with a cheap camera. He stares out the window at a leafless tree whose branches are skittering and clacking against the glass in the wind. His eyes are thoughtful and half-lidded. STAGE MOM comes in, smacking gum and carrying a suitcase. Copper Cab pulls his nightgown tightly around his throat to ward off the sudden chill. STAGE MOM
COPPER CAB
STAGE MOM Copper Cab looks down into a cigar box where he has built a nest for a tiny quail chick. He sighs deeply. We never see the quail chick again. What happened to the quail chick? No time to wonder, because there is Copper Cab up on stage (in his driveway) in front of zero people, ready for his big comeback show. HE’S BACK. The crowd, if there had been a crowd, would roar. This honestly has a better soundtrack than Country Strong. (Via BuzzFeed.)
Let’s go. We’re busting you out of here early.
I’m not sure if I’m ready.
What do you mean? Of course you’re ready. Look at you, you’re beautiful. Come on, your fans are waiting. What’s that in your hand?

Happiness dance video sent.
He may not have a soul, but he certainly has soul
I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned this yet but my heart warms every time I see your new icon. LOUISE IS THE BEST!
It’s good to know that among the i’m sure many useful things a soul does is determine hair color.
I’m sending this:
If anything, it’s TOO legit.
Therefore, it cannot quit. It just keeps going and going and going and going…
Videogum Everywhere…we should all send him dance response videos…or at least say something positive to make him feel better
For those of us who watched the entire video:
Something something M.I.A.’s “Born Free” something. Punchline.
“Who hired these writers? They’re all fired!” – My brain, trying to think of jokes
Once again, I am very appreciative that “the internet” was just AIM, AOL chat rooms, and Napster when I was a teenager.
I like how his dancing is already causing death threats.

19 seconds ago YOU ARE FINISHED COPPERCAB
Oh shit, when fitzykid1990 lays down the law, you know shit just got real.
Nothing for the haters to hate on here. No sir. I predict naughtt but glorious praise on youtube.
Someone who knows how to use a computer should add a funny soundtrack for this…..and then explain to me how to do it
Who needs all that fancy technology? Just pop the Scat Man song into your eight track, sit back, and enjoy. You won’t be able to tell the difference.

Nice work, though it might have been better if so many of his dance moves didn’t involve just standing around.

This boy is just taking the mickey out of us now.
This may be the first time he has ever been in direct sunlight, look at those legs!
I did not expect this video to put me in such existential despair. Really, we’re all just drudgingly dancing through life to a song only we hear while a weary church bell cries in the distance.
The same ball, back and forth. Forever.
That is some smooth-ass GIFfery.
In 3 years he is most likely going to get a back tattoo that says “If you’re not legit, then don’t even bother.”
except it’s “your” in that context DUH
Any guesses as to what he was listening to? I’m gonna say Michael Jackson, given those sweet crotch grabs.
Simply Red.

Surely something off his ‘Summer Jams of 2010′ playlist.
Blood on the Dance Floor
I’m pretty sure it’s his own seminal release, ‘Why Can’t We All Get Along?’ (2010).
How could I forget that Skream remix of La Roux? CopperCab fucking loves dubstep, after all:

His “first” dance video? Is this a threat?
He looks like a baby moose trying to figure out how his legs work for so much of that video.
I was eating lunch while reading this and now food is on my screen. Thanks!
Why can’t we all just get along?

This. Forever and ever.
while he was dancing I was thinking – ‘ok, he’s totally self-aware now. this is definitely a joke on us’
but there’s something about the way coppercab talks that is so ridiculously un-self-awarely genuine. he really still isn’t faking this whole ‘I am an artist, check out ma skillz’ thing.
yikes
I’m beginning to think Copper Cab isn’t allowed to shoot his videos in the house.
For whom the bell tolls? For ginger kid! Because he fell down exactly when the bell was tolling, you see! (Also his videos are progressively worse)
