An official is someone who holds an office (function or mandate, regardless whether it carries an actual working space with it) in an organization or government and participates in the exercise of authority (either his own or that of his superior and/or employer, public or legally private).
A government official or functionary is an official who is involved in public administration or government, through either election, appointment, selection, or employment. A bureaucrat is a member of the bureaucracy. An elected official is a person who is an official by virtue of an election. Officials may also be appointed ex officio (by virtue of another office, often in a specified capacity, such as presiding, advisory, secretary). Some official positions may be inherited.
A person who currently holds an office is referred to as an incumbent.
The word official as a noun has been recorded since the Middle English period, first seen in 1314.[citation needed] It comes from the Old French official (12th century), from the Latin officialis ("attendant to a magistrate, public official"), the noun use of the original adjective officialis ("of or belonging to duty, service, or office") from officium ("office"). The meaning "person in charge of some public work or duty" was first recorded in 1555. The adjective is first attested in English in 1533, via the Old French oficial.
Seth Rogen (pronounced /ˈroʊɡɪn/; born April 15, 1982) is a Canadian stand-up comedian, actor, producer, screenwriter, and voice artist. Rogen began his career doing stand-up comedy during his teen years, winning the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Contest in 1998. While still living in his native Vancouver, he landed a small part in Freaks and Geeks. Shortly after Rogen moved to Los Angeles for his role, Freaks and Geeks was canceled after one season due to poor ratings. He then got a part on the equally short-lived Undeclared, which also hired him as a staff writer.
After landing a job as a staff writer on the final season of Da Ali G Show, for which Rogen and the other writers received an Emmy nomination, he was guided by film producer Judd Apatow toward a film career. Rogen was cast in a major supporting role and credited as a co-producer in Apatow's directorial debut, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. After Rogen received critical praise for that performance, Universal Pictures agreed to cast him as the lead in Apatow's directorial feature films Knocked Up and Funny People. Rogen and his comedy partner Evan Goldberg co-wrote the films Superbad, Pineapple Express, and The Green Hornet. Rogen has done voice work for the films Horton Hears a Who!, Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Paul. He married fellow screenwriter Lauren Miller in October 2011.

Early one morning, Marcos observes Juan successfully pulling off a bill-changing scam on a cashier, and then getting caught as he attempts to pull the same trick on the next shift. Marcos steps in, claiming to be a policeman, and drags Juan out of the store. Once they are back on the street, Marcos reveals himself to be a fellow swindler with a game of much higher stakes in mind, and he invites Juan to be his partner in crime. A once-in-a-lifetime scheme seemingly falls into their laps - an old-time con man enlists them to sell a forged set of extremely valuable rare stamps, The Nine Queens. The tricky negotiations that ensue bring into the picture a cast of suspicious characters, including Marcos' sister Valeria, their younger brother Federico and a slew of thieves, conmen and pickpockets.

Peter Lavin: [addressing the boys in the middle of the night] There are... rumors being spread around by certain people!

Louis Bork: A double-cross has its price.
Dan Butler: Keep looking for her, Joe. She'll come back. You just keep looking for your girl. You'll find her.
Dan Butler: [Realizing that Bork has caught up to him] What took you so long?::Louis Bork: What did it all come to? All this stuff of going to Nice and the tickets you bought to South America and later sold? What did it get you, huh? A month of life? Yes, that's something! And paying me back in francs instead of lire!::Dan Butler: And you came up here just to tell me that?::Louis Bork: No, Danny Boy, I'm here on business, of course, with pleasure as a sideline. Taking care of you will be my pleasure. I always take care of sidelines.
Paule Manet: Kids are all right until they grow up into men.
Louis Bork: A wise boy like you should know I'm not kidding when I say I think I'm gonna kill you, Danny, just as sure as you're sitting there pretending you're not scared. I'd do it now like that [Snapping his fingers] without a thought except I want my money first. I'm funny that way.

[DJ scratches up "Ooh, it's time"]
[Chorus:]
Oh, yeah - Well the bell has rung because the time is here
Oh, yeah - We gotta switch it around and put the thang in gear
Oh, yeah - Not much is for sure, but this here is true
Oh, yeah - I gotta do it for me, but then I'll do it for you
Major attraction, trouble distraction
Scramble up my name and it still come action
Music's our number, dial to sue slumber
Open up your ears to the low tint of thunder
Creative Queens native, mixes are the Native
Want some fresh shit? Then we're correlative
Busta is ferocious, unflawed and precocious
Airin fools out 'cause my willy bodacious
Peoples don't blame me, shorties can't game me
Country Cherokee but the city here made me
Rock like coral, distinctive 'bout my orals
Got lil' grime and got lotta laurels
The rhythm stay bangin, my one-two thangin
Is exemplified by the comp left hangin
Percussion's our weapons, drums are Smith & Wesson's
Lyrics poppin off leaving deep impressions
[DJ scratches up "Ooh, it's time"]
[Chorus]
Yo, I feel what the beat does, people fuck with me 'cause
When the song end, I become what the beat was
Same thing as other, no need for cookie cutter
The bar gets raised, not your average old gutter
For that I hit a chin up, B, ya time been up
Would've came sooner but I overslept my get-up
Now let's get in the middle, girl I'll solve your riddle
'Cause we can be strong and protect against the brittle
If groupies need to see me, go and get the CD
I aerosol you all top to bottom like graffiti
Biz {? } lot and, dudes say I'm pardon
When you hear the music, thus begins the Mardi Gras and
Rhymes ain't the issue, that's how I'm gon' get you
Don't need a Billboard hit for me to +hit+ you
The clairvoyant micist, who ALWAYS come the tightest
Queens everywhere demostratin who the flyest
[Chorus 2:]
Oh, yeah - Well the bell has rung because the time is here
Mmm, mmm - We gotta change it around and put our thang in gear
Oh, yeah - Not much is for sure, but this thang is true
Mmm, mmm - Gotta do it for me and then I'll do it for you
Oh - Ohhh, gotta do it for me and then I'll do it for you
Oh - Yeah, gotta do it for me and then I'll do it for you
Yeah, yeah and I'm feelin official
Got my high class chick and she lookin official
Everytime she come around
She look better than the rest
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
Like this, like this
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
And I'm bout to scoop my chick up
I pick her up and we take a ride and I'm feelin so official
If you disagree I'd say you trippin and
Don't like that I'm gettin it
Still a young one, enterin my prime
Livin it up one day at a time
First we hit a restaurant, yeah you know, high class
I'm lookin at her fine ass while I'm sippin on this wine glass
So I let the time pass and I let the mood kick in
Attraction growin stronger every minute that we sippin
Now we dippin to a movie and we lovin this night
Let me open the trunk I got a present inside
I'm bout to, bout to blow ya mind cuz I know how to handle ya
I cover every angle, some-somethin like a camera
Been a rush, been makin her blush
Diggin this girl and I can't get enough
And she can't either, don't trick but I treat her
Swipin a Visa, like it ain't nothin
I ain't bluffin, better believe it
Known to be confident, not conceited
Expectations I bet I've exceeded
Next time I see her she'll happily greet me
Yeah, yeah and I'm feelin official
Got my high class chick and she lookin official
Everytime she come around
She look better than the rest
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
Like this, like this
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
I got my high class chick
And she tellin me she wantin it all over again
So we pour a little tonic and we mix it with Gin
You can forget about your ex cuz I ain't nothin like him
I been the one that you run too, bump it and you go dumb too
And I ain't talkin shoes when I say that I wanna pump you
Girl come here I'm feelin you it's simple as that
And when I'm busy leave a message and I'll hit you right back
Rat-a-tat-tat how I'm makin hits
Like a nice girl but I love a bitch
Love how ya feelin me up
Love the confidence in her strut
This chick got me trippin, to the bedroom and we flippin out
Doin it dirty like we in the South
All started out with some mouth to mouth
Then her clothes came off and I went to town
Pressin on her body, fluid movement never sloppy
Every minute she beside me got us feelin like insomniacs
We ain't never sleepin cuz we imbetween the sheets and
Under covers steady freakin so you know right where to find me at
Yeah, yeah and I'm feelin official
Got my high class chick and she lookin official
Everytime she come around
She look better than the rest
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
Like this, like this
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
So we had a great time
I'm a treat you like a queen, so come on and be mine
My approach is not a joke more like a flawless design
Honestly I had a little too much got too twisted all because I had too much
wine
Get a little better with time and I'm tellin you I had a hella good night
Hard to say goodbye so I had to make sure that we met up again
Cuz I'm tryna be more then friends, sinnin everytime we meetin
Well that's relatively speakin, things are free for a reason
So I never will be cheap and, you know I go crazy
When it comes to pleasin my lady
And the rest of them don't get my attention so they hate me baby
Maybe cuz you special? No basketball but I press you
Do it all to impress you and its been that way since I met you
Yeah, so we should do this again
And again and again and again and again
I love ya grin when ya smile and ya tellin ya friends
That you ain't never met another guy quite like him
Yeah, yeah and I'm feelin official
Got my high class chick and she lookin official
Everytime she come around
She look better than the rest
Bet you never ever seen another girl like this
