I don't remember the details... except that...

Thirty seconds.

Except that...

Alex was lying on his back.

Fifteen seconds.

- Eight, seven... - Six.

...three, two, one.

But I couldn't hear what he was saying.

And there was just this tiny, tiny wound.

Almost like a cut where the scab has been pulled off...

and it's seeping blood.

But there was an awful lot of blood coming from...

this tiny... little... cut.

And the tissues I was...

laying down weren't soaking it up.

And so what did you do when they didn't... didn't soak it up?

Kept pressing on it.

With... with the same tissues or... Yeah. And with my...

Just with my fingers.

And then what?

I don't know.

What was Alex doing?

He was... trying to...

Trying to tell me things.

What kind of things?

Some in Swedish. Um...

Swedish things that you've heard before? Or...

It was very hard to understand what he was saying.

And I woke up... I think, not really knowing what had gone on.

Did he know that

he was in... in some sort of pain in the dream or he was just unaware?

He seemed to be...

almost... almost happy.

Happy?

So... so he was happy and he was bleeding from this... from

this very little cut and you had a tissue.

Yeah.

...that couldn't soak up the blood.

Yes. And that was all you had and you kept

dabbing it with the tissue and he was...

he was talking to you in Swedish...

Happily.

- Yes. - And he was using

endearments or... I don't know. I think so.

And... and... and what did you do after?

I'm not sure.

Let me ask you something.

Um, I'm just going to give you a few words.

And I just want you to tell me the first thing that comes into your head.

Uh... okay?

Okay, sleep.

First thing, don't take time to think, just first thing.

- Sleep. - EXEC.

Blood.

Fresh.

Tissue.

Fluffy.

Happy.

Sad.

When you woke up... This was last night when you were at your friend's house?

- Yeah. - What did you do?

I took a Melatonin, a tablet to help me sleep.

Then I... woke up and came here.

So you take something to fall asleep a lot? No, no.

But you happen to have them with you?

I carry them with me.

What happened? Oh.

- Hi. How are you? - Hello.

What time's your meeting? In 20 minutes.

- What? - In 20 minutes.

Well, we don't have time to call AAA. Do you want a ride?

There's no need for dramatics. I'll take you.

Thank you, Lauren. You are so generous.

- What's that attitude? - No attitude.

So two nights ago I decided to... I had to leave the house...

- Red Mullet? - Because...

Sir, what's in the bag?

- Alex was... - Massage chair.

- Upset. - Red Mullet.

So, we'll call you later. Okay? Okay.

I'll put you through. Okay.

I'm Quintus from Roman Springs. People call me Q.

Uh-huh. I've come to do the massage.

Oh, wonderful. What kind of massage do you do?

Gently caressing the soft tissue, Swedish technique.

Deeper penetration, I use a shiatsu technique. Mm-hm.

Massage auras, hover chakras, what makes you cum. Excuse me?

House and go stay with my friend. Red Mullet.

So I just... took a couple of things with me.

Um, well, do you set up or... I didn't think I'd...

I have a chair which I could put there,

but generally I visit people in their work stations...

I'm just curious about the pills.

- Red Mullet. - Because of the...

Oh, he's... Let me put you to voicemail. Okay. Well, all the

executives are in one big meeting right now.

Well, that's excellent. I can attack the mother lode in one place.

Like going to a Web.

Massage their egos, that's for sure.

Oh, that's par for the course and then I can spread out...

Right, but if you can just be really subtle. I am subtle...

And discreet. You won't even hear me.

Hi. This is Q from Roman Springs. He's a massage therapist.

Hail! Egos sum Quintus, your friendly gladiator. People call me Q.

I'm from Roman Springs and I say to your tension, " Veni vidi vici."

This is the friend of the friend from Roman Springs so they usually

send over little sort of little, uh, gift just to

entice us to go to Roman Springs for the retreat.

I was expecting just a fruit basket, but I guess this is a...

And even if he comes to bed at five in

the morning, I still know that he's coming to bed at some time.

- In the lower back... - If we can do this,

- we've got a meeting running. - He has a bad back.

Keep up with... Yeah. I would urge them to

- avail themselves with some... - He's got a bad back

physical education at Roman Springs.

Guys, we've got a situation on the set of Teen Scene.

There's a... Ow, go easy on me...

Outbreak of herpes and it's really a nightmare.

I mean, the insurance company's given us two

more days and then we gotta make a decision.

Nobody's found out who the source is?

Uh, well, I think they're trying to avoid naming names.

- Is there a medic? - Yeah. Four down.

They've done everything they can with Blistex...

Been together... and cover-up, but it's just

a situation to be forewarned of. We might have to hold up production.

You should put the leads in separate hotels.

Long enough to...

- Did you go by the set? - Feel like a long time.

Yeah. I went yesterday, which is why I couldn't go to Lancaster.

I had to fire the A.D. I'm sorry. I didn't wanna get sister-girl on him,

but I had to. You know, he challenged me, so... But morale is up. So...

- Yeah. You go girl. - Yeah. You know?

Looks like you got 'em.

There I am. That's it, that's it. That's all. Walk in.

Boost morale, by firing somebody. That's... Hey.

A little update on John Tammer. Oh. John Tammer.

Yeah, we had to fire... I had to fire five of the producers last night

because somebody was caught embezzling money so...

Holy cow. They go down like flies in this organization.

- He seems to be... - Well, what? He was...

Really caught with his hand in the till? Or...

- Is it your friend? - Falling apart.

All right. Well, we we won't talk about it.

Got this reckless... What can you tell us about Madeline?

The desk cards came back and most of the comments was that it wasn't scary.

Reckless. It's plain scary, so that's pretty good.

We're living almost as if he's happier when he's falling apart.

The problem is that I heard the rough cut

and apparently the sound effects are such

that the Buddhists, when they set themselves on fire,

aren't crackling. They are sort of popping and exploding and...

It's adding a comic undercurrent to an otherwise.

- Hey how are you? - Fairly serious visual.

Now, uh, it's gonna push us somewhat

- farther into the red. - I wish I didn't

care so much. You know, we have to address it.

- No way around it. - That's your call.

- That's my observation. - Uh, it's a good call.

Same thing for Flicker of Light. We got soft focus a few days in a row and there's..

That might not be a bad thing.

Because she's not a spring chicken anymore.

Looks like Playboy.

Jesus Christ, what's that?

Five point six.

Good old Hollywood, that's all.

Is that a term I used? So don't worry.

Everything's fine. No, if you want to, but it's fine.

You all right? Everybody okay?

- Honey, you okay? - We came down.

But I really...

You're a fucking slut.

And you are a fool if you don't think I know what's going on.

Ah! I've had it! I have absolutely had it!

You know, you can't go on like this. It's not going on!

- The gravy train is over! - Lauren.

When we get back, you can just pack your bags and leave.

'Cause I am not a fool! I got enough to worry about.

I gotta try and... Oh, God.

You've gone fucking mad.

No. I have not gone mad. Yes, you've gone mad.

- No. - You've gone mad.

How have I gone mad? What the fuck is your problem?

What is my problem? You are my problem. You!

- You all right? - I wanted to ask you...

What did I do now? Oh, what did you do now? You've never done

anything wrong. I don't know what's been going on the past

few months. You know, if you don't think I don't notice the phone calls...

Oh, God... been going on for the past few months? I've had...

I think you're gonna make a great

actress, let's just put it that way. A great actress.

- What is your problem? - Smells strong.

I told you, my problem is you.

Okay. What's the story on the Blind Venetians?

Uh, the Blind Venetians are...

essentially that they've been scheduled to open on President's Day.

My love, my time, my money.

My recommendation is that they move it back to

Helen Keller's birthday just to...

I'm sorry, Darren. We need to have a serious talk about Alex being late.

I mean... he lives three blocks away. This is ridiculous.

It's unprofessional. It's unfair to us.

Sweetie, we just got through having a serious talk about it.

- I made it clear... - With us. Connie...

He's my best friend.

I'm tired of waiting.

We can get a little more done before he gets here.

That's the point. We're tryin' to...

- There he is. - Here... here he comes.

As if on cue.

You won't have to pay for anything for much longer.

Well, I don't mind paying for anything. Listen to me...

I don't mind... I'm getting my shit together.

And I'm getting out of your life, if that's what you want.

The man will rock and roll.

We gotta roll with the man's punches because...

- Fine. - Fine.

That's why this company is what it is.

- Rock and roll. - I don't mind...

- I don't mind... - If this is a hump,

I'm willing to help him get over this hump. I just...

I don't know how long this hump is gonna...

What I mind is being a fool. It's a big hump.

Did you have your feet bound? No.

No. I think we should perform an intervention.

And I know that most of the time they're not successful,

but I think that this is something we should try for him.

Hey, Rose, it's Alex.

- I know it. - You can't talk.

I wasn't sure if it was today or tomorrow.

If we're one for today, say something like...

You have a bad connection.

Mary, I can't hear you. We have a bad connection.

Let me speak to Mary.

Listen, Lauren wants to talk to you.

Gimme the phone. Mary. Hello?

- Hello? Mary. - Hello.

- Go back to it. - Hello.

Jeff, man. How's it goin', dude?

I stumbled into it... Hey, Randy. It's really good shit.

- When I was younger. - Move on...

From the jungles of Bolivia.

ROSE I understand, I know I'm a burden to you.

I don't wanna be. I'm trying, you know.

I'm trying.

I can't handle this anymore.

I can't handle the pressure.

How does it make you feel? Supposed to be.

You're supposed to be the good thing in my life.

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, right now, I have this feeling...

Well, I'm sorry I'm the bag thing in your life, Lauren.

- No. - I truly am.

No, no. Look me in the eye. Right now.

Look me in the eye and tell me that there is no one else.

Tell me th... You didn't tell me.

I love you. I love you, too. I do. So, look me in the eye...

and tell me.

- Stop this. - See you can't do it.

Look, there's no one else in my life, Lauren.

You happy now?

There's no one else, you swear.

How many times? There's no one else. I swear.

I don't know how to swear to you. I don't know how to...

I just don't know what to do anymore. I mean...

Okay, that's fine.

- Morning, everybody. - Hey, hey.

Hey. How was the trip?

I'm sorry I'm late. The traffic was, uh...

- So what do we have? - We got a full plate.

I got a lot of stuff we all read last night.

Right? Get some opinions.

Has anyone seen Maria?

Yeah. Is she under the chair?

She's being stepped on. I love you so much.

- Dirty subject. - Tell me.

Yes. That's not realistic.

The fact that Alex drinks so much...

That was the typing.

Why don't they ever make movies like...

There's no movies for Latinos. Jennifer Lopez.

Yeah, as a maid? As a promiscuous maid?

Well, what... Listen. Ask us when you wanna play...

Okay. So... what about...

In A Box.

An amazing script. I haven't read a good script

like this since The Color Purple.

And Cosign. It's a group of frustrated black actors in Hollywood.

They get so enraged with...

with feeling isolated, with feeling marginalized, tired of

being the token splash of color in a movie and they...

they just embody this Marcus Garvey period,

you know, back to Africa, while they're having coffee...

Sometimes I'm just living in my own head.

Pat, could you pull over when you see a newsstand? And I don't understand.

I need cigarettes A lot of the world.

Black people are more than just gangs and shooting each other's brains...

No. You know, that's not what I'm talkin' about.

No, what you're saying, Evan, is that you only think blacks are commercial

when they're shooting each other's brains. I mean...

No, you know perfectly well that's not what...

Blacks can be multi-dimensional. Okay. We'll move on.

This is an issue that has got great crossover potential.

This is about the black diaspora.

This is what Hollywood.

It's a good show. Crossover lead. Will Smith is accessible.

I mean, it's really difficult for, uh... very

very demanding part very full, rich you know,

she tries to kill herself,

she's a slut, she's a bitch,

She has a heart of gold and...

To play all those notes, it really would be better if you had read the script.

But you didn't, so, um...

Too far gone?

Oh, that... that... that's the... that's the... The Shine.

- The Shine. - Except the guy's got,

- a lot more problems. - More problems.

I would love you anyway.

The man you love and he's leaving forever.

Can we do a little improv? Do you mind? Yeah.

Uh, Zee, can you... do you mind if you're a boat? Just be a boat.

Yeah. You know. Here. Here you go. A boat. Right?

What's the tone of the movie? Is it just sort of, like, comedy or drama?

Drama. Drama.

It's a very deep, rich melodrama and, uh, this...

this... a lot of sex, but

the sex is routed in the storyline and it's all based upon her character

because she's sleeping her way to the top of the public relations firm in

uh, in Saint Louis, Missouri.

Patch, lock the doors.

Hello? Hello? Check. One, two. Hello. Hello? Check, check,

Check, check, check, check, check, check.

I still see the innocent girl you used to be

before Amanda got killed in that tragic boat accident.

I think that it's a very ugly place.

Oh, God Jason, it feels so good to unburden myself.

I think sometimes there are moments of real beauty.

- Unlock the door. - Like a smile.

Hm. A smile. ROSE Why'd you lock the door.

- What else? - Love all over again.

- Falling asleep together. - Very nice. Sorry.

After all your lies...

Now that I've found you, I do.

Your lover.

...where the conflict happened.

And so that would mean that the people who watch the.

History Channel they would probably watch this movie.

- Knowing you're loved. - But it also catches

the teen market because it's a boy and girl who have just finished their

freshman year at Harvard and they're in... the... the bush, and this girl

is shaving her legs... long, brown legs. Been in the bush for an, uh, a

few weeks and she's shaving the slit.

Blood trickling down. Big pool of blood. A lotta blood.

And... and... and... and... and then you cut to like

a wide shot and she and her boyfriend on the banks of this...

Renee, is there a script on this? So far?

So far? That they get into the river

and the... the camera, like, gushes down below the water.

It's mur... murky, muddy... Sweetie, do we have a script on this? Can we

just... Is it something we can read? There's a worm.

It's like... like a glass noodle worm, like the kind usually...

- That's sounds really... - In Japanese

restaurants, you know, the glass noodle worm. I mean, noodles? And...

and that's what the worm is like... What about... what

about the whole South Park thing? Are we excited about that?

- Oh, I like that. - South Park?

South Park? Oh, well, the South Park thing is... is

kind of exciting to me. Alex, I'd love for you to chime in.

This has got to me by Debbie Weavling.

And, uh, this is the South Park guys,

Matt Stone, Trey Parker. They've written a script.

Granted the title might... it's a working title, Time Toilet.

Essentially Time Toilet is... a janitor working on a nuclear

energy facility discovers that the toilet of the men's room is actually

a time portal and they've been inadvertently flushing

waste products back in time. Subtly changing time. Obviously, this is

a sci-fi comedy with historical, uh, value because there are

there are several, um, tableaux that we hit upon. Most notably is the, uh,

assassination of Lincoln which is foiled because just as John Wilkes Booth

is raising his pistol to the back of our sixteenth President's head,

Whoosh. Wilkes Booth is washed with waste, uh,

flushed from today back then.

That would be Mrs. Lincoln. So now he has to

flush himself back in time to kill Lincoln. So that's our hero.

Great. It is a good opportunity.

Yeah. It's cameos, it's historical, it's educational and it's

funny as hell. You like it?

I love it.

Oh, my God. I love Johnny Depp.

I saw him the other night at the Viper Room and he is so hot.

Great soundtrack. We can " Bill and Ted" the whole thing, you know?

Garbage. I don't even listen to garbage.

- Cornhole. - Cornhole!

What do we think of Ricky Skaggs?

I...I... I... I...I

No. Right? We hate it.

He wants to hang out and read it again.

Do you have a tissue, please?

- Break a leg. - You break a leg.

Um, I, uh, d... did

you f... feel something... sh... shaking?

- BPT. - BPT?

Best People in Town.

Then wouldn't it be...

I'm just curious. But didn't you think that...

Whatever script that was you read...

Really? That's your agency?

Well, I wish it

was my agency. I...

Wouldn't that be BP... I... T?

Well, you know, Best People Tell. I don't know, Lauren.

But it's better than nothing.

Don't worry. I'll get an agent. I know you will.

And what's this part you're auditioning for?

I'm auditioning for the part of a teacher.

Dressed like that?

Who used to be a shepherd. Dressed like that?

She wanted to be a teacher all her life and...

She's young, 18 years old, a brilliant genius director.

I just can't over the fact that...

- Meeting today? - She is so young.

What were we all doing at 18?

I think I was collecting stickers.

She's makin' a movie for thirty thousand that

- translates to... what is it? - Sixty million.

- Grossed $60 million. - Not bad.

So she would read books as she was tending the sheep.

While she was preparing herself...

Yeah. That's right, she did all the music.

The owner of the ranch where she tended the sheep

- had many kids. - Like seven?

The youngest one... He has seven children. Like seven? She had...

The youngest one got into an accident...

He almost drowned and she saves his life. So the owner of the

hacienda asks her what she wants in return for saving his son.

- Hi. - How old are you?

- She says... - ...the documentary...

- Oh, no. - It's amazing.

I've seen pictures of her. She's beautiful. She's coming in today.

Is she really? Yeah. Oh, wow.

- You're 40, yeah? - No, no, like 45.

Uh, I... I'm... 41.

Alex, the thing about Ana is that she's got European sensibilities.

Hurray!

She's Italian... Venezuelan. A combination of three things.

But she speaks five languages and we thought you'd be able to talk to her.

She doesn't really look Egyptian. She looks like a mutt.

She speaks intellectual. She speaks smart.

I forgot to tell you that his wife had died. Of course.

I think I've seen this. Is this a musical?

She's like a big wad of cash with a head on it.

Yeah. She's gonna walk in our door.

Did you read the script? I read it.

I never saw you read the script.

'Cause I didn't read the script, Lauren, I read the synopsis.

Why?

I don't even know why I bother. Did I lose my mind?

Of course not, they're gonna give me a scene.

That I will see for the first time and then I... I'm very good... but

I'll just, um, I'll read off the page.

An Asian, a black girl, I want a white girl. I want to give you

- the whole gamut of racial... - Wait, wait, wait,

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Poor white trash...

If you cast a black woman... You know.

We talked about this. You're taking bitch out of the title.

Oh. Okay. All right. But it's just derogatory.

- That's a good idea. - I thought we liked this.

I kind of like bitch.

- I... I like bitch. - I like bitch.

- Dressed like that? - Anywhere I dress...

I mean, doesn't matter how I dress. I am... I am still the right person

for the part. You want some respect?

Yes. And I will earn it with my acting. Well, why don't

you earn it right now by just covering up your breasts.

I can change it.

I mean this word takes so much negativity. I mean, with female violence? Battery?

- You like this, right? - Abuse.

I'm a bad person.

It would make me feel good. No, I'm doin' it.

Stop the nagging and I'll do it.

There, happy?

- See you at home later. - No, I'll wait on you.

Oh, no, no, no. No, I thought we were gonna do.

Oh, I can give you instruction...

What made you think that?

No. You're going home and I'll meet you there.

Or you're going wherever you were going...

What are you talking about? You're wasting our time.

Darren why do they call it a budget?

They call it a budget so you don't budge from it.

It works every time.

Thanks for the ride. I'll be out here. I'm gonna be out here.

No. Readin' the paper. I got a lot of business to do.

Have a good audition.

- I might be a long time. - Okay. I'll be here.

From 21 to 18 day shoot. Right?

Weren't we talkin' about that last time on the telephone?

Yeah. Twenty-one to 18.

Wait, wait. We were talkin' about 24 days.

We talked about 21. Now it's down to 18.

Alex, wh... what...

Can you do in 18?

18 days, I can do it better. I'm gonna give you a better product.

All right, uh, okay, good, good. Keep it raw and gritty.

That's what your style was? Man, that's your grandpa.

Okay, no problem and no... I mean, I'll use my handheld... I... I...

Let's do it for 30,000.

The film should make 60 million, right? So you can do it for 18.

Okay. Okay. Production values are not gonna suffer. Believe me.

You're gonna love this rock and roll.

Welcome. What can she do in 18 days? A lot.

Can I talk about the ending?

I was thinkin' about changing the ending. I had some ideas.

Oh, oh. I think a feel-good happy ending...

No, no, no.

Lester, let's stick to the plan...

I think we need to stick to what is written

and you have to work within those boundaries the way you work so well.

Okay.

Provided you're at peak form and you're in your health...

- Right, right. - And all that...

You got some friends. You'll be able to pull some names...

- You an actress? - Yeah.

Are you here for the audition? Mm-hm.

- You're pretty. - You're pretty.

- No, you're beautiful. - You think so?

Whoa, whoa. What... what do you mean two days?

- Why are you sweating? - I'm not sweating.

But what do you mean two days in turnaround? Alex...

Alex, what... what is that two days in turnaround business? What is this?

Sorry, Lester, you only have two days,

but you can cast it in two days, couldn't you?

I've been tryin' since I... this is my fifth week and.

- I haven't casted 'em yet. - You'll manage.

Lester, you're clean, aren't ya?

You're clean, right? I mean...

We're all adults here. Um, there's... there's

been a couple rumors and, uh, I just wanted to make sure you're not using again.

No. I'm not using... Of course, I'm not using.

Everyone takes a cast and crew physical before we go into production.

- Are you trying to... - Insurance purposes.

I'll be right with ya. What are you talkin' about?

I don't think he's using.

We're pretty much done, aren't we?

We'll show you... our arms if you show us yours.

Take notes, Connie, really. The other one.

I...I wanted to talk to you...

EVAN. The other one. The other one. All right. No, no,

- Come on, come on. - Show us the other arm.

- This is a joke... - There's your answer.

Alex, what's going on?

There's your answer.

- All right, screening. - So what you been up to?

Screen test is in... Okay. And I'll see you there.

Just wanted to say hello.

Yeah.

Alex, come on, man. What is that shit? Two

days? Two days I've been tryin' to get this for five weeks now.

Don't worry... Two days. What do you mean don't worry?

If I didn't know you so well, I'd think you were a racist.

- You're pushing it. - No I'm not pushing it.

- What? - What're you doing?

I gotta see my wife. Uh, I'll talk to you later.

So you'll come back? Are you gonna come back...

So, no flowers, no cards,

no presents and not even a phone call and it was my birthday yesterday.

- You're full of shit. - I am.

But if it would have been my birthday, would you have called?

Okay, kids, uh, you

wanna hear the good news or you wanna hear the bad news?

- Good news always. - All right, the good

news is there ain't no good news. There's only bad news. I got two days

to cast this movie or they're pullin' the plug.

They cut my days down from 24 to 21 days.

And they think I'm fuckin' usin' drugs again, God dammit. Fuck!

Lester, you are using drugs again.

I've been thinking.

If I took a couple weeks off, maybe a month.

We could just take a plane to Venice.

Or Florence. A plane to Florence and then drive south for a couple of hours and, uh,

and rent a villa, maybe in Chianti or why not by the coast. You know?

Cook our own food and no scripts, no cell phones, no faxes.

Only books that can't be made into movies. And we'll swim naked.

I'll lick the salt off your body while you're drying in the sun.

Can I look?

Yeah. Of course you can look. Look in the top drawer.

...money to accomplish all my desires.

I now have enough time and energy...

To accomplish all my desires.

I am the calm, especially the peace, and I see love in everyone.

I am the calm, especially the peace,

and I see love in everyone.

I am the calm, especially the peace, and I see love in everyone.

It's very hard to stop drinking when you're not at home.

You know, I can't... I can't work, I can't sleep.

I believe in infinite aboondance. Abundance.

And the money is always there...

You know what I think we should do? We should...

We should buy a house.

Buy a house in Tuscany,

and move there. You don't like L.A. anyway, do ya?

Moving to London is not such a good idea. So let's... let's leave this town.

For all the radiation in her earlobe.

- Do you love me? - Is that what you think?

What I think is not the point. Do you love me?

I accept it. No.

Every day I...

I wish I didn't love you quite so much. Every day...

Well, then, I think we should live together

and I think you should come back home.

Every day...

And we'll... work things out.

I know that you've been a bit unbalanced lately, but,

uh, maybe you should see someone, talk to someone.

Alex? You're with us at the screening? Yeah, sure.

Sorry to interrupt. I am vibrantly healthy...

Jesus. I wanna get outta here.

I am vibrantly healthy... What do you say?

I am vibrantly...

I am always in the right place at the right time.

I am always at the right place at the right time.

Okay, okay. Okay. It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

- Alex? - Yeah.

I'm going to leave you.

Yeah.

I understand.

Get out, get out of there. It's me. I'm outside.

Puppy, go home. I'll take a taxi. It'll be okay.

No, no, come on out.

ROSE. Puppy, I'm in line, I have to go in and do my audition.

You don't understand, it's not worth it.

Puppy, go home.

You don't know how hard it was to get this audition.

I cannot do that. I'll be fine.

Just go home. I'll take a taxi. It'll be okay.

Hello? Yeah, hi Bunny.

Hey, how you doing?

Oh, just fine. How you doing? It's making me crazy.

Yeah. This is a...

I'm a little early. I'm outside your offices.

I thought if you got a second, why don't we grab a cup of coffee, something.

I wanna talk to you. Got a minute?

I'm actually in a meeting right now.

You are. Oh. All right. All right.

Well, listen, uh, I'll take a rain check. I wanna get

together with you sort of, you know, away from all the business. Okay?

- Yeah. Absolutely. - Great.

Oh, and, um, one other thing. I wanna give you a heads up.

Ana Powells wants to bring in her boyfriend into this pitch meeting.

And, uh, you know, normally, I would say no, but, uh, his name is Joey.

Zee. He's in this band, Walk Don't Run, and... and, uh, this thing just

went platinum. So... Hello? He wants to

do the soundtrack. I think it will be a great addition.

Hi, how are you? And she seems, you know, very intent on

having him there, so I thought no problem, but... Are you a little busy?

Would you do me a favor and let everybody know?

- Absolutely. - Great. I think...

uh, and let's see what they have to offer...

Remember I had that audition today?

It was good. He wants me to stay and maybe read it with him again later.

Yeah, yeah. It's good.

He gave me shit about the script. See you in half an hour.

- I'll see you in half. - Okay.

You should've sent it. Thanks, Alex.

You didn't send the script.

It does matter 'cause this is not the first time this has happened.

- Alex. - Hey, Rose.

Where the hell are you? Listen to me.

Uh, I'm on my way. I'm in a meeting

right now, but I'll be... I'll be right... right with you.

Shh. There... there's people... there's

people in the room. There's people in the screening room.

What? After everything I've done?

What? I forgot about that.

I signed with you, not with your assistant.

I forgot about that.

If you don't respect me, then...

After everything that's happened.

Because I still see the little girl might want to come... innocent

one. Before the tragic accident...

They're here.

- Boating accident. - What?

I got a better idea. I'm gonna hang up.

Yeah. The truth... the truth will - the

- truth will set you free. - Oh, yes, yes.

What? After all your lies, do you know who you are anymore?

No, but I found you, I did. Hey.

Oh...

I still believe you.

Oh Jason.

Is this the old Valerie or is this the new one?

Or is this the new new one?

It's the new new one.

Now that you're here, everything is brand spanking new new.

Okay and ready, Diamond? I'm ready.

And action.

- Diamond... - Actress...

- Hi. - Hi.

- You have a light? - A light?

Yes, sure.

I mean, she seems very... sweet.

- Do I know you? - Do I know you?

No.

Oh yeah.

It's so good.

Now that I've found you... I was just...

Just do your lines.

Keep it going, just keep it going. I have to get more. That... that

orgasm. Orgasm. That's good. Orgasm. That's good, that's good. Okay,

you can come down now.

Okay. One more... Okay, action.

Everything is just brand spanking new.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

One more take.

Okay, action.

Third one, this is Jessica...

She's reading for the bitch's mother?

It feels so good to unburden myself.

Keep it going. Oh yes.

I want it, I...

It's supposed to be the first take. This is the second take.

That's okay, we can get an idea, Lester.

It doesn't matter. She's bad. She's a bad actress.

Amateur hour. But, um, I thought I'd give you a racial gamut.

No. Colorblind auditioning is great.

No? It's good that it's colorblind. It's, uh, it's tone deaf.

It's all those things.

- Hey. - I missed you.

I missed you, too.

O Rose thou art sick.

The invisible worm, That flies in the night.

In the howling storm:

Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy:

And his dark secret love.

Does thy life destroy.

That's beautiful. Did you write that for me?

- Yeah. - Wow.

Well, I had some help from a guy named Blake.

It's okay. I made you a cake. What?

I made you a cake. Yes, you did.

I'm serious. Oh,

glamorous. And it's fat free, sugar free, too. I hope

you like it there.

I didn't realize that we had a picnic.

Here. It's vanilla.

Vanilla. Okay.

Come, come. We're havin' a...

picnic, darling.

Don't want to forget to put my underwear on. Really tragic.

We should find Alex. I don't wanna

start this without Alex. It's just gonna look bad and I, and I don't want it to

look bad. I want, I want her to connect with us.

Didn't say a word. She hardly said a word.

I mean, apart from the fact that it looks bad that he's not here. He's the only one

that knows how to speak that obtuse language. I mean, I spoke to Bunny

yesterday and he said this girl is so smart, she's so like speaks in

another code. The other thing is she may refuse

- to actually meet with us. - Emma?

Hi. How are you?

Oh, this is an amazing, They're sugar free, fat free and

everything free. I can't believe it isn't cake.

And you're telling the truth, not just saying it. Yeah, I am.

No matter what we agree with, with, with Anna, we just

support her, her philosophy and everything.

What they will do. We will do whatever she wants to do.

- Yeah. - She's

- fantastic. - Anna? Uh.

I thought it was beautiful.

Yeah. That's good. Save a lot of

money, too. Which is, uh, makes us all happy. Yeah. How

are you? Oh, I'm good, you know. Never stop.

- Work, work, work. - Yeah.

But baby, It's dirty. We just had sex there. Well, that's

so much better now. I'm callin' you guys up. It seems

like we hadn't seen you in forever. But, uh, I, uh,

Pig. And, uh, he always hates,

I'd like to take a minute. I like the

things you do. Uh, maybe I should just lay it out

there. I, I, I've heard some talk, you know. I mean, um-

Do you remember you told me you were gonna give me that

- audition? - Did you get it?

I guess when Alex is on, you know, there's nobody better.

But you're the boss. Yeah. I am

the boss. How is your tea? But you're the boss. You

should be able to get it. I am able to get it.

Because I saw they're auditioning all these girls. You know,

I'm not asking you to give me the part, I just wanna know, would you

please get me this audition? You with me or not?

The, the company is, is nothing like,

I bought a house in Tuscany and, uh, I just moved there, you

know? That darn lifestyle.

Would you have babies with me? Alex? Alex?

I really think he needs to get it under control. Alex. Oh, Alex.

You aren't really wanna have babies. But I can't have babies right now.

I'd really like to talk to you. I, I'd love to do

that, but I want to have a career first, you know? Of course,

of course. So, um, But that would be my dream, baby,

if I could have this career going and once it's going we could go to

Tuscany and have a baby, Yeah. Uh, we go back,

- Have you seen Alex? - No.

Yeah.

You look good. Are you workin' or

- you, You doing anything? - I have a

meeting. I gotta go, darling. I'm sorry. Alex, you just got

here. I can't get you an audition if I

don't have a company to run. I have a company. I've got to go to

meetings. Where's my jacket?

You know what?

I know, Okay.

Okay. Good to see ya. Bye.

I go through a lot of trouble to spend some time with you. Do you, I

don't know if you realize how much trouble I go through and I bake you

some cake and you can't just come in here and fuck me and just get out

of it. All right. All right, what do

you think you're, Uh, it's a bit complicated right

now. What do you think it feels like?

It's gonna be okay soon. It's gonna be okay soon.

You're just, are you playing with me?

I'm not a whore you know? You can't treat me like this.

I know. I can't treat anybody like that.

- Alex, your cake. - Yeah.

I loved it. It was a great cake. What about my audition?

Tomorrow. I'll plug ya. I'll call you this afternoon, okay?

Are you here for the audition? Yeah.

Are you an actress?

Did you find the lead? Did you find the lead to your

movie? Did you find her? Out of this fucking,

Come on.

Wow. You are something else. Hi. I'm,

Lester Moore, film director.

Lester Moore. The Lester Moore?

- Yeah. Yeah. - Oh, my God. Are

you really Lester Moore? Yeah. Oh, yeah, of course.

I am a huge fan. I am no, not. No shit now. I am a huge fan.

Yeah, Yo Grandpa! Yo Grandpa!

And, and, and, Who are you?

I am Rose and I'm an actress. Rose. Uh, I

have, one of these once in a lifetime feelings that, you,

I'm at Sally's.

I am casting a movie right now for Louisiana, and I'm... looking for a star.

Get outta here.

No. I swear to God. I swear to God. I swear.

Are you pulling my leg? No, I'm not

pulling your leg. It would be very cruel if you were, you

know. Because I am an actress and I'm a huge fan. I couldn't take it

if you were kidding about that. I would like

you to read for me right now. Could you do that for me? I'd love to!

Would you? Come on.

- Oh, Lester. - Come on.

- I'd love to. - No, you, No, you

don't know, You don't know what means to, No, no, you

don't know what this means to me. I've been lookin' for somebody for

five weeks and I saw you, the second I saw you, Oh, no. I've been

looking for somebody all my life I knew you

would be it. That would discover me, you know,

because, uh, I always, Well, I, I am it and you are it and

we will be it together. And let's go right now. Oh Lester!

Are you shitting me? Are, are you for real? I am Lester

Moore. I am working at the Red Mullet Production Office and we're gonna go

right now and we're gonna read you. Okay.

Okay? Come on. Right. Um, can you give me one second?

Please don't go anywhere. Oh, my God. I, I just

need to do something, Oh, my God. Joey.

Don't you go anywhere.

Uh-oh, uh-oh. We got we got friends. We got friends.

No, this isn't my... I'm with... here, sorry.

Anna, I want you to meet a friend of mine.

Wait, wait, wait. Get back here for a second.

- Emma Greene. - Oh.

Hello. Wife. We're gonna go in and meet Alex

in just a moment. You know, Anna, I have to stay

longer because now I'm gonna be reading for the director. So it's gonna

take me a little longer, baby. Maybe you wanna go home?

Who's the director? The director is

He's big in Mexico.

Alex. We're going to meet Alex.

Yeah, that's him. That's him. I'm reading for him right now. Baby,

Tell me that you love me. I love you.

- Tell me I can do it. - You can do it.

Over there alone. I wanna get outta here. Let me.

Want me to call you a cab? I'd love to do that for you.

Bitch. Yes, honey, I'm the bitch.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Yeah, you know, it's a little unprofessional, but okay,

I'll read, Now, this, this is a scene we're gonna do. And in the...

Valerie Falcon, daughter of

Vincent, the alligator skinner. Exactly. And

you have been Amanda, who was her best friend. Who tragically

died in a boating accident. And you are.

And you are Jason P. Wilson from Home, Louisiana. I'm afraid so.

He's retiring.

And do you know who I really am? You're

Valerie. Valerie Falcon, daughter of Vincent, the alligator skinner.

Rene, where'd we find, His office.

He's in his office. Gimme a minute.

Because the truth will set you free.

Oh, yes, yes, I think I'm falling in love. Yes.

After all your lies, how do you even know who you are

anymore? Well, now that I found you, I do.

Tell me somebody, what's goin' on?

Oh, Jason, I'm just so, What's this?

- Oh, it's, uh... - Dusting the

crayons? We're in a meeting, man. We gotta be

in a meeting in like two minutes. Everybody's here.

And now that you're here, Well, just

get in the office. Get in the office. You weren't

there this morning. You weren't at the screening for Lester, you

know, I need you to do one thing, for us, all of us, and just get in the meeting.

Okay. Come on, what's the matter? Can you do that?

Can you please do this?

No, no, no, no. I'm doing for you all the time, man. I'm

covering your ass and doing for you. You just do this for me. Do this

for us. Just do it, what's the big fucking deal? I don't care!

You're gonna get fired. I just want you in the meeting!

Would you, Hey, gimme my gun.

I just want you in the meeting. I

just want you in the fucking meeting. Is that asking too much? It's the

one fuckin' thing I want from you. Don't kill us. Don't destroy us all.

Don't kill yourself either, man. Just, just get it together. You can

do that. You can get it together. We'll put you in a little clinic, you can

get all cleaned up for a little while. You'll be good as new. But do it

after the day, okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

We'll get you cleaned up. We'll get you feeling as good as new.

Come here. Just go upstairs. Come on.

Do you know who I am? You're Valerie. Valerie Falcon,

daughter of Vincent, the alligator skinner. Hate me,

Come on. After all that's happened?

No. Because I still see you for the innocent girl you were

before that tragic boating accident. Oh, my God,

Jason. It - It feels so good to unburden myself.

The truth will set you free.

Mmm, yes, dear. A minute

ago. They're in the lobby.

I think I'm falling in love with you all over again.

Me all the time, Valerie. And after all your lies, do you

even know who you are anymore? Listen to

me. Listen to me. Now that I found you, I don't...

I've never stopped loving you. Is that

right? Oh, Jason. Oh, Jason.

And here she is. Anna Powells.

Joey Zee, my partner.

And, uh, Alex, did you -

Well, if you haven't heard it, Joey Zee, Walk Don't Run,

you've been livin' under a rock. Walk Don't.

Run, they're, they're gonna play together and, uh, he's gonna, he's

gonna help her out with the pitch. Yeah.

Joey's here to accompany Anna's pitch and, uh, we're lucky to

have 'em both, so happy to be here. Wow.

Welcome to the Red Mullet. Thank you.

He told me to... Yeah. Joe,

why don't you set up here? All right.

Cool. Do you think that's fine?

Sit here. Waitressing, cocktail

waitressing. Such bad calluses on my feet. You need help

with something there? No. I think we,

I'm gonna paraphrase a little bit, all right?

I love what you're doing, Because I

need, Okay. Listen. Okay. Here we go.

Can we introduce ourselves? Rene. Tell a little about yourself.

I'm Rene. I'm Rene Fishbein. I'm. I'm one of the

co-founders of the company.

Hi I'm Dan Fetcher I'm, uh, executive in charge of comedy acquisition and

development and, uh, and company morale. Welcome.

And Adam Wand, once again, another one of the co-founders, and Alex Greene.

Hi.

Hi. I'm, uh, Frank Connie, um, Connie Lane, and, uh,

What? Connie. Connie Lane. And I'm, uh.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Uh, I'm the V.P. of professional development.

Thanks for coming.

I'm - I'm, uh, I'm Alex Richardson

and, um, also an executive producer. I'm in charge of the urban

hip-hop movie sort of bringing in a sort of black film noire. Cultural awareness.

Good for you. Thank you for being here.

We're having auditions for another film, so it's a little,

it's a little, You done out there?

It's a little goofy.

Off to the set. Gotta see it. Gotta see it. Oh, Jason.

Oh, Jason. Oh, Jason.

Speaking with Anna earlier today, she

said if she could make her film here at Red Mullet, nothing would

make her happier and I know that's the same way that you feel.

The feeling is collectively mutual. Yeah.

Very good. Um, a number of clients I've had, Uh, you

want some coffee? All have had had terrific experiences.

So armed with nothing more than a digital camera and an incredible

vision and the sounds of Joey, Joey Zee, I think, uh, Anna's prepared to

drag us all kicking and screaming into the next, Watch out!

Watch out! Everybody hang on! Hang on! Take it easy.

What's going on? Fucking earthquakes!

- Whoa. - It's okay.

- You all right? - Oh.

It's okay. Care about right now.

Is he all right? Yes.

All right. Everything's okay. I don't

think, I'm, I'm gonna go outside. Oh. Let's.

Let's go.

Yeah, go - go get Alex. I was gonna,

Go get Alex.

Twenty million Russians, not enough for bread. How's that gonna help

you with a bullet in your head? I don't mean to preach, but I know that.

I'm right, when I say to you that you're way too uptight. Diggy-diggy.

Trotsky in the house. Diggy-diggy. I let him in my house.

Diggy-diggy.

That's how I make my life, staying out too late, lying in his

bed he was so full of hate. I don't mean to preach, but I know that.

I'm right. The world changed forever on that weird, crazy night.

A diggy-diggy. Trotsky in the house, diggy-diggy. I let him in the house,

Diggy-diggy. Diggy-diggy, make love, not war, diggy-diggy.

Peace.

My film has the necessity. The

urge to go beyond the paradigm of collage.

Montage has created a fake reality.

Technology has arrived. Digital video has arrived. And is

demanding new expressions, new sensations.

As Martin Gropius once said that in the first Bauhaus exhibition:

Art, technology - a new unity.

We are in nineteen ninety-nine, so it's time to say again, art,

technology, a new, new unity.

Eisenstein and Bertrand...

Being influenced by the Russian

formalism, with its theory of the strangeness, the isolation of a word

within a poem. Of course, we are talking about cinema, so it would

be the isolation of an image. The isolation of a take. They create it. The soul

can't. Soviet Montage. The discontinuity in editing.

At that time, that was a vanguard. It's not that anymore.

The capitalistic system that we are living in has absorbed all the

innovations, all the vanguards.

It's time to move forward, to move

beyond. It's time to think in terms of matter.

Matter to send, to receive, to organize.

Everything that exists is matter. M, matter.

- Oh. - Right, right.

It's time to go back to Leibniz and his modern ideology.

It's time to update that.

My film will be an unmade film. Not just mobile.

A film with not one single cut, but one continuous moment.

Your boyfriend freaked me out a bit. I didn't know

whether, Joey?

He was suggesting we all sleep together because he was high and felt like it.

As I was saying, a film with

not one single cut, no ending. Real time. The music of the film will be

the pulsations. A film with contractions, with dilations, rhythms, rap songs.

As Kant once said, repetition is drama. Repetition is

rhythm. Rhythm is music. Therefore, music is drama.

I remember thinking that I really liked him, but I didn't

want to go to bed with your boyfriend, Hm. Really.

Imagine four cameras. Imagine four cameras displayed in

the city. Imagine a situationistic type of play.

A Guy Debord type of play.

A city as a jungle. Each of these four cameras,

Each of these four cameras will

follow a character. And the characters are going to meet with each other,

creating the plot of the story, creating the plot of the film.

I was thinking that a beautiful idea could be to use one of Borgez' plays.

One of Borgez's tales - The Other. A tale where a young man meets an old man.

They have a conversation and then they realize that they are the same person. It

will be beautiful if these four characters are exactly the same person

in different stages of his or their lives. We're thinkin' about

Russia. I was there with Joey filming his Walk Don't Run tour and we

fell in love with the city. We fell in love with Russian music. We

fell in love with Russian souls. That's why I want to have a subject, a

Russian subject in this film. Also, as you might have heard before, we are

approaching the music of the film in a dialect type of a way. Having a

modern melody. I was thinking Hanns Eisler

but with a contemporary arrangement. The audience would do the symbols.

I'm sorry? Go on.

- Alex. Alex. - I'm sorry.

The most pretentious crap I've ever heard.

- What? - I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Could you speak louder, please?

Well, you think anybody around this table has a clue about what you're talking

about? No. But it's time to educate people.

You know, we think this is crap, but

we'll do it for you and then you do our crap and that will be the tale.

Alex, you're way out of line. I brought Anna here and I

brought Joey here and I respect, Look at you.

I expect some respect. Come on,

Bunny. You're way out of line.

I want to know what you really think about my project.

- What'd you do? - I did it.

I think that there's no fucking way to say anything about your project.

I think I've got this movie.

Since it's wrapped up in all those phases, from all

those books that you've read. But obviously, you're very intelligent

and, um, probably very talented. What?

I earned it. But definitely very young.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. And the, and the director noticed me,

So difficult to find an honest person in this

town, but I really appreciate what you are saying to me.

- Right. - Thanks.

I really want to work with this one. It's...

as a director, very time consuming.

That's why they call him the king. Well, when

Alex is on there's nobody better. Director and

then the director saw me and he immediately, me. He, He knew I had it and

he told me that he wanted to read something and I read for him and

apparently, I, apparently, I did great. I'm not just saying this.

You, you don't believe me. You don't believe me. How's it

feel to be married to a rich successful man? No. No, no, no.

I'm going to surprise you. Baby, you're gonna be so proud.

No, I believe you.

Going to be so proud of me. No, I am proud of

you. I think I've got it. I mean, I have to go

back again and read for the producer, but, And, and

- who's the producer? - I can do this.

I, I don't, I don't know.

You don't know who the producer is? No. I'm just gonna

go back in there and, and, and do it now again.

So who's Alex?

- Who? - Alex.

Are you sure you don't know who Alex is? No, there was,

there were a lot of people in there, you know? It was there for a

long time. But I don't remember any Alex, no. What about the.

Bitch from Louisiana? Well, what about it?

Listen, bitch. I listened to everything that you said.

- What? - You have a lot of...

- Oh, my God. What? - I had a

microphone. I listened everything you said, bitch!

Don't you hit me. I listened to everything you said!

Oh, my God! Listened to everything you said! He's

just using you! He's just using you! He's just using you!

Alex. Alex.

Um, I'm Alex. I'm Alex.

I'm Lauren.

Um. Lauren. I need everybody to leave the room right

now. She said to leave 'em. Leave 'em.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on. Come on, let's do this. Go.

Hey, Rose. What's happening here?

Lauren. I'm sorry. I, I, I'm truly, Lauren.

- Oh. Come here, Rose. - Lauren.

- This is not so bad. - I'm gonna get some...

Alex. Alex. That's a lot of blood.

A lot of blood.

Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.

What has happened? I'm bleeding.

Can you, can you help me out with my phone, please?

It's my, Hello?

Hello, darling. Hello, Emma.

Hello. I love you. Hello.

Oh. I love you, too, Emma.

I love you, too.

Can I see you tonight?

Um, couldn't you. Couldn't you order a table at a nice restaurant?
