MONNICA: Get my way?

MARK: Yes get your way!

MONNICA: I should have stayed in LA like I planned to be for some stupid

reason I thought coming here for you

On her face there's a wicked smile.

Her teeth are sharpe and her breath is vile.

GRACE: Excuse me!

So I read "The Conductor".

You have to tell me the inspiration behind it.

You read this. Hm, okay?

Here's the back story.

When I was growing up I use to collect trains.

I loved them, really loved them and I use to collect old trains

from the 1900s, World War I. I became fascinated with that

period of time. Trains were at there peak.

I'll have to google that.

Yeah really interesting the U.S.A-

Yeah get to the point. You're starting to bore me.

Man you guys.

Alright so here it is.

Most of us, I believe all of us

have someone or something in

the driver seat of our minds. And I also believe that we're,

our souls, are made up of three unique parts,

our mind, our will, and our emotions.

WOMAN: Excuse me. Hi, can I get a refill?

I'll be right back to our convo Mr. Travis.

GRACE: Hi, JT?

I'm sorry to interrupt but the woman at

the door told me to come and see you?

meeting you.

OLIVIA: I can give her a call later if you want me too?

You're so stupid!

Yeah for Christ sakes he's just...

Women, JT look at them. All the women are out tonight!

Yeah well there here for you buddy.

MONNICA: Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?

MARK: I should have an affair.

MONNICA: Get my way? MARK: Yes get your way!

I should have stayed in LA like I planned to be for some stupid

reason I thought coming here for you would be good for me and my

baby!

Aw, congratulations! Guys, everyone, Mark is having a baby!

This is so exciting. Can we get a waiter over here?

We need some champagne.

I don't have, I don't have any money.

Wait, what happened to your money?

I made a deal with Monnica to handle the

money just because you know.

How stupid could you be!? Did I teach you anything?

It was the only way I could get her to come back to me!

Oh and now she's gone and what are you going to do, now,

Mark the great negotiator?

I'll figure it out okay.

I'll figure it out. I'll get the money!

Look at them laughing at you, I told you there over there

[LEON CLEARS THROAT]

Hi! Mark I'm gonna go to the bathroom- Ow!

Thought I'd come say hi and introduce myself. Leon.

Nice to meet you.

You mind if I sit?

Actually my friend was just coming...

Don't mind if I do, so what's it like

coming back to your hometown a superstar?

I don't really see it like that.

I'm just Mark Travis from Angel Heights.

Our true friends will always keep us humble won't they?

Hey look I'm gonna go.

What's the matter with you? You seem a little agitated.

I'm fine. I just had one of those mornings you know.

One of those mornings.

Yeah some kids ran out of here

saying you were a little rough on them?

No no no. I- They were- Look, I might have got a

little carried away, but that won't happen again.

Good. Glad to hear it.

Well look I got to get my day started but before I do I

want to give you something very

valuable. This is my card.

If you need anything. Any thing.

Use that card, okay?

It was nice to meet you Mark.

Nice to meet you too.

You need to take care of that whole in your head.

You won't believe who I just met.

Who?

Our hometown hero, Mark Travis.

The writer? He's in there?

Yes my first time meeting him.

I'm lost who is he?

The big time writer. He actually just won an Academy Award.

Cool.

What did he say?

Baby nothing. You have nothing to worry about.

Why does he keep looking in here?

What's he doing back here?

Well he could be here just visiting family but that's

not what has me concerned. He doesn't look right doesn't

seem right in the head.

Hollywood would do that to you!

Well lets do us a favor.

Keep an eye on him, if you know what I mean.

Yes sir.

JT: What's going on?

Monnica. She lost all of our credit cards. Probably left them

on the plane or something,

You call the banks to cancel.

No, no, no. I didn't get a chance to do that yet. But look,

I came right over here. I was hoping maybe-

Mark, you come in here looking like death. You

smell like death. What the hell is going on?

Look man you, you gonna help me or not?

DNA of our creator to overcome any circumstance. Take back

control of your mind. Your will.

Your emotions. And your soul.

On her face there's a wicked smile.

Her teeth are sharp and her breath is vile. And when she

speaks, she speaks in style.

There's no way off why don't you sit down.

I'm sorry she lied. I'm really just a clown.

She senses my worry She senses my fear.

She whispers softly in my ear.

MYSTERIOUS LOW VOICE: Do not worry, do not doubt at any time

DOCTOR: Oh God.

Mark? Mark?

It's doctor Helen Boil.

What?

Mark your family is extremely worried about you.

Monnica?

Mark you stopped taking your medication and you're in an

No you're Davenport.

I'm your father. It's me Edward, you're sick and we're

Where's Monnica?

Monnica's gone Mark.

She died in a car accident years ago. You know that.

You have to move on.

You were cleared, son!

I killed her.

No, buddy. Vienna killed her.

Vienna destroyed your writing career and now, and now it's

trying to kill you. But I won't

let it. Come on little buddy.

Come here. Come here. Let me help you.

I need Holly, where's Holly?

Holly's not real!

No she's real, she loves me!

DOCTOR HELEN: Let me handle this.

MARK: You can't take her.

Ever since the death of your wife...

you developed a brain sickness called delusional disorder.

You created this, this world.

BELLE RADIO: A police warrant has just been issued for Mark Travis.

That can't be. That can't be.

You're trying to escape Mark.

No!

Everything and everyone you're asking about,

doesn't exist!

Hey Mark, you alright?

Who is he talking to, I know he ain't talking to us like that!?

Okay. I promise we will get this done, listen!

Sometimes the past catches up with us.

Mark Travis.

I didn't give it to you, but you can call me shade.

Shut up, don't you lie to me I will do it!

DOCTOR HELEN: You're trying to escape Mark!

MARK: I know you're upset baby!

MONNICA: Get off me!

MARK: I know you're upset!

[TRAIN CHOOS]

[CRASHING SOUND]

From the pain. From the guilt.

This drug vienna, it helped to amplify the disorder.

And it's back stronger and more toxic than ever before.

I don't understand. I don't understand what you're saying.

I'm saying that Holly is a powerful manifestation of

vienna.

Holly was always there for me, Holly was always there she never

leave me. Holly wouldn't lie to me. Holly wouldn't lie.

Hollywould.

HOLLY: [LAUGHTER] Oh Mark!

[LAUGHTER]

MARK: The conductor comes to me in my darkest despair.

Who she is, I am not aware.

Ride my train, she says to me. Ride my train.

The first trip's for free.

She senses my worry. She senses my fear.

She whispers softly in my ear.

Do not worry. Do not doubt.

At any time you want, I will let you out.

You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I promise to take you away from your pain.

She promised to take away all of my pain.

She reaches out with her soft hands as she pulls me aboard.

And when I'm on, she pulls the cord.

I hear whistles blow. I see sparks fly.

Soon enough, I am high.

The conductor appears as she walks down the isle.

On her face there's a wicked smile.

Her teeth are sharp and her breath is vile.

And when she speaks, she speaks in style.

There's no way off. Why don't you sit down?

I'm sorry, she lied. I'm really just a clown.

This train is more powerful than the strongest of tide.

Just relax, and enjoy the rest of the ride.

MARK: Feeling stronger than God. Feeling faster than light.

I've never experienced such incredible delight.

I've become curious about my fate.

I begin to wonder if it's too late.

The tracks are running out.

I begin to scream. I begin to shout.

I want the conductor to let me out.
