Polished is an award winning short film directed by Ed Gass-Donnelly, featuring William B. Davis as a lonely aging businessman who yearns for human contact from shoeshiner Karyn Dwyer.
Captain James Hook is a fictional character, the antagonist of J. M. Barrie's play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up and its various adaptations, in which he is Peter Pan's archenemy. The character is a pirate captain of the brig Jolly Roger; Barrie describes him as Blackbeard's former bo'sun. His two principal fears are the sight of his own blood (supposedly an unnatural colour) and the crocodile who pursues him after eating the hand cut off by Pan. An iron hook replaced his severed hand, which gave the pirate his name. After getting a taste of Hook, the crocodile pursues him relentlessly, but the ticking clock it has swallowed warns Hook of its presence.
Hook did not appear in early drafts of the play, wherein the capricious and coercive Peter Pan was closest to a "villain", but was created for a front-cloth scene depicting the children's journey home. Later, Barrie expanded the scene, on the premise that children were fascinated by pirates, and expanded the role of the captain as the play developed. The character was originally cast to be played by Dorothea Baird, the actress playing Mary Darling, but Gerald du Maurier, already playing George Darling (and the brother of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies), persuaded Barrie to let him take the additional role instead, a casting tradition since replicated in many stage and film productions of the Peter Pan story.
Up on stage, been the rage of every single show
Flawless and polished so V is good to go
Upstanding since college with knowledge so exact
And extraordinary tact that the other haters lack
Professional. Every line rhymed is exceptional
Ladies in the crowd throwin’ me their unmentionables
No one’s out there with the same glow
Call me Cool Hand Luke with a sick, insane flow
Better than the rest, let me put this to rest
I’m shinnin’ like a superstar, the top is where I rest
Accolades roll in oh so easily
I got the crib where all the hottest breezies be
See the guap in my rubber band expand
VIP up in every grandstand
Catch me where the spotlight’s focused and beamin’
Lookin’ like some 24’s, buffed up and gleamin’
So flawless, the V is so polished
Bling, bling, bling - #1 baller
Brush my shoulders off – sips of the potion
Four wheels spinnin’ – chrome in steady motion
So flawless, the V is so polished
Bling, bling, bling - #1 baller
Brush my shoulders off – sips of the potion
Four wheels spinnin’ – chrome in steady motion
Swag so sick with skills - swagnificent
Anything less than the best - insignificant
You trippin’ kid. Thinkin’ you can knock me off son
V’s got pull from Berkeley out to Boston
Like Gnarles Barkley, it’s crazy how I’m flossin’
Crusin’ the upper atmosphere like a Top Gun
Never at the bottom – chillin’ at the top rung
Smooth like Jay Z, but I never lost one
Awesome’s how I’m described makin’ waves
All up in this beach at Mavericks in Escalades
Escapades with ladies ‘round the globe
Chillin’ every day cooler than an eskimo
Shinin’ brighter than a supernova
You might see me in a Rover getting’ over
There ain’t no doubt about it – V is bout it, bout it
If I skate with the ice then my diamonds never cloudy
So flawless, the V is so polished
Bling, bling, bling - #1 baller
Brush my shoulders off – sips of the potion
Four wheels spinnin’ – chrome in steady motion
So flawless, the V is so polished
Bling, bling, bling - #1 baller
Brush my shoulders off – sips of the potion
Four wheels spinnin’ – chrome in steady motion
Just like T.I., my polish is immaculate
Think I’m ridin’ dirty - you’re simply inaccurate
Back a bit up, so you can check the image
Cleaner than some candy paint with a glossy finish
Fresh and clean – fresh to death like Dougie
Clean with the sheen. Other crews lookin’ ugly
Muggin’ and strugglin’ to stay with the trends
That the V sets – tighter than a S-Class Benz.
Fancy footware for any occasion
Baby let’s bounce and have some relations
Tastin’ elixirs from passion fruit
You can’t get enough of this dashing dude
My game and look are oh so polished.
My swag and style are oh so polished.
My fits and ride are oh so polished.
Shoes so polished. Crews so polished.
So flawless, the V is so polished
Bling, bling, bling - #1 baller
Brush my shoulders off – sips of the potion
Four wheels spinnin’ – chrome in steady motion
So flawless, the V is so polished
Bling, bling, bling - #1 baller
Brush my shoulders off – sips of the potion
Four wheels spinnin’ – chrome in steady motion
Yeah, polished and flawless.
Oh, so shiny and smooth.
Press rewind and you’ll find I’m refined.
