- Right here?
- Yep.

Okay.

I've never done this
before. What do I do?

Just be yourself.

Try and forget that
there's a camera here.

Okay.

Tell me about yourself.
Where are you from?

- Texas.
- Texas? Really?

What brings you to Wyoming?

My boyfriend and
I wanted to, uh…

Well, ex-boyfriend.

We wanted to see
all 50 states, like,

to say that we had seen all
of the states before, um…

Um…

Shit.

I'm so sorry.

Hey.

You don't need to apologize.

It's so embarrassing.

No, it's not.

Hey, look at me.

You're beautiful,
okay? It's fine.

Just keep talking. Okay?

So, yeah, we…

We wanted to have
this big adventure…

before the baby came.

So… that was the plan.

Then…

And then he just left.

And I… I…

And I don't know if it
was me or if he just…

he just didn't want to be a dad.

Have you told your family?

No.

No, my mom, she never
liked him, and I…

I don't want to hear
"I told you so."

Uh, I'm… I'm terrified.

Like, I knew he was risky,

but, like… fuck it.

Everyone's risky.

I don't know.

I'm so sorry.

I'm just blah, you know? I just…

I haven't really had a chance to talk
to anyone about it yet and I, um…

I really needed that. Thank you.

What the fuck?

It's just not quite right.

Yeah, I don't feel
sorry for her.

- She's not sympathetic.
- Because she seems angry.

- That's it. She seems angry.
- Mmm-hmm.

What about her look?

Eh, it's okay.

She kinda looks like that
one girl in that thing.

From the, uh…

The movie about the
junkies in Central Park.

Yes. I hated it.
Did you like it?

- No.
- Bad. It was bad.

It was horrible.

Did you want me to
try it again or…

No, that was great.

It says here that you did your
BFA in acting at Columbia.

Yeah.

I have a friend who went
through that program.

It's a great program. Yeah.

What year did you graduate?

Hmm?

You might know each other.

I might. What's his name?

Hmm.

Kevin Wetmore.

Mmm. He might have
been before me.

Mmm-hmm. How do you know
he wasn't after you?

Hmm.

And you're okay
with nudity, right?

Uh, no, um, it's
just not for me.

Oh, no, I'm… I'm
sure they're fine.

Mmm.

- All right. Well, we'll be in touch.
- Mmm-hmm. Mmm.

Okay. Um…

- Well, great. Thank you guys so much.
- Yes.

Thank you.

Um…

Have a great rest of your
day. Always nice to see you.

- Like as well.
- You too.

Thanks.

- Okay. Sheryl.
- Yeah?

- No.
- No.

Uh… Oh, Janet.

- Janet.
- Janet.

And I really appreciate that you
keep inviting me to audition.

I would just love it so much

if you could look up from the
table when I'm reading the scene.

That would just… Just
really make my day.

Okay.

It's a big deal.

Network execs don't always
give actors direct notes,

but that's the best part.

This one pulls me over,
he says, "Your face."

"Something about your face
has a lot of character."

Which is great. Which
means if I test well,

they'll make me a
recurring cast member.

Not every single episode,
but, you know, it's…

Hey, how's it going?

- Hi.
- How'd it go?

Um… Yeah, not… I don't…

Not that great.

- What? You're kidding.
- Yeah.

I know. I know. I made you run all
those lines with me again for nothing.

No, acting is never wasted time.

I was acting, you were
acting. Actors act.

- Well, that's very sweet, Terry.
- No. I'm being real.

All right. I'm not being
sweet, I'm being sincere.

That choice you made when
you started whispering

when you were talking about
your mom? It gave me goosebumps.

It sounds like your
thing went well, huh?

I don't want to talk… Yes.
I mean, it went very well.

I wanna hear all about it.

You're just so good. I don't know
how you're not booking anything.

- Hello?
- Hi, Sheryl, I have Helen for you.

Terry. I just need one second.

Oh, yeah, no problem.

- Hey, sorry I missed your call.
- Mmm-hmm.

- I had a client walk off set.
- Yeah.

The director fired a
gun. It's just chaos.

Oh, wow. That's, um…

No, that sounds crazy.

No, I just walked in the
door. Did they call already?

They loved you.

No, I really don't
think they did.

Well, they thought you weren't
quite right for this one.

- So good.
- They said you seemed a little too…

Yeah, I'm auditioning in
a couple weeks I think.

They just weren't sure that you
were passionate about the project.

I mean, I am trying,
but sure, yeah.

I feel like we've been getting
that feedback a lot lately.

Are you still working with that
acting coach? Can we find you a…

- Um… Look, Helen?
- Yeah? Yeah.

Um…

I think I can maybe just beat you
to the punch a little bit here.

- Yeah, I'm rambling. You go ahead.
- Mmm-hmm.

I'm working really hard and I'm
accomplishing very little, so…

I'm not really sure what
I'm doing in L.A. anymore.

Oh, lots of people
go through that.

Right.

Helen, I can barely
afford my rent.

Hold that thought.
Robin, hand me that.

- Thank you. Sheryl? Honey?
- Yeah?

Okay, sweetie, you know the ABC
Studios where they shoot all those…

Mmm-hmm.

You know the one.

- The stages in the Valley.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, I booked you a
guest spot on a TV show.

- Wait, really?
- Yep. Yeah, you bet. Friday.

Right, but I didn't audition.

You didn't have to.

I sent them your resume,
they think you're perfect.

Um… What's the show?

Bachelor number three,

if I were an ice cream sundae,

what flavor would you want me
to be and how would you eat me?

If you were my ex-wife,
I'd have to say Rocky Road.

Um… I need a drink.

- I'm a vanilla man myself.
- Yeah.

I didn't think I'd come out
here and be famous. I just…

I thought if I was
disciplined, and I have been…

Yeah, you're locked in your
apartment running lines.

I can hear you most of the time.

I have notes.

I have a few notes.

I haven't even been
on a date in two years

'cause I didn't want
the distraction.

And now the…

I don't know. Helen…

Helen says it's good
because it'll get me seen,

and Sally Field was on the show,
so she's not totally wrong.

But still, it just feels…

Beneath you?

You think I'm being a brat.

No, it's beneath you, but I
still think it's a good thing.

The show?

- No shit.
- Why?

Because you're gonna
meet some cheese ball guy

who you'll spend all of two
minutes with and you'll hate,

and then you'll be back here.

Right here at the bar
laughing about it with me.

Why will I hate him?

'Cause he's gonna be a dork.

And you'd rather be
hanging out with me.

- Yes, obviously.
- Obviously.

I mean, you're basically
my only friend out here.

Well…

And that's good.

All right, shall we? Another?

Uh, no, I probably
shouldn't. I, you know…

got my big break coming up, so…

I don't want to look
like garbage for that.

You could never
look like garbage.

You always look beautiful.

That's sweet.

Oh, my God. Sorry.

That just took me
by surprise. Um…

No, that just tickled for, um…

That just took me by surprise.

Sorry, I'm… I…

I think I'm a little jumpy. I
had a weird… Pretty weird day.

Yeah, no, I…

I get it.

Okay, great.

Do you want to leave?

No. Um…

No, we should have another one.

Wake up.

Can't stay here.

- Pack it up.
- Yeah, okay.

Let's keep it moving.

Hey.

You need to keep
this aisle clear.

You can't just sleep here.

Unbelievable.

Shit, shit, shit.

- Shit.
- Hey!

Hey! Get back here!

Hey! Hey! God damn it!

Fucking bitch.

♪ Be grandmother for ♪

♪ She don't believe no more ♪

♪ She don't believe ♪

♪ No one hurries home
to call you, baby ♪

Can I help you with
something, buddy?

I'm… I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to.

I just saw you sitting there…

and the light is perfect.

You're beautiful.

What?

Did I say something?

I look pretty fucking far
from beautiful right now.

What are you talking
about? You look gorgeous.

You got this… Like a…

Like a Linda Manz
thing going on.

I don't know who that is.

She was in that movie,
uh, Days of Heaven.

Well, consider me
fucking swooned.

So you ever done
any modeling before?

Dude, I'm broke as shit. So
whatever you're trying to sell me...

I'm not trying to sell
you anything. I'm serious.

There's this photo contest
that I want to enter.

I've been looking for a subject.

I think you'd be perfect for it.

Hold that pose.

- Hold what pose?
- That pose.

Now look over your
left shoulder.

That's your right.
Your other left.

There you go. Now look right
into the lens right here

and give me that look
you just gave me.

Come on. There she is.

Look at you. One more.

You know, Farrah Fawcett,
she's got nothing on you.

So what do you say?

- Lisa.
- Sheryl.

- Hi. I'm so sorry I'm late.
- No, it's fine.

There was an accident
on the 101 and…

Do you need anything? I
can get you coffee, water?

Uh, no, thank you.

- Have you eaten? I can get you a bagel.
- No, really, I'm fine.

Helen tells me you're
from Pennsylvania.

Um, Allentown, yeah.

- Oh, I went to Penn State.
- Oh, uh…

Go Lady Lions.

- Can I get you a water?
- You asked me that already.

- Okay, right through here.
- Great.

Great.

So you excited about
this? How you feeling?

Um, good. Yeah, I
think it'll be fun.

It'll be so fun. I promise. We'll
get you through hair and makeup.

I saw your bachelors backstage.
You got a good batch.

Oh, really? What are they like?

- They're idiots, all of them.
- I don't know where they get 'em from.

- From under a rock.
- Right?

Do you remember that one guy that
we had on the show? Um, filmmaker.

- Oh, Jesus Christ.
- Oh, my God.

He was beautiful,

but I'm telling you,
the IQ of a lug nut.

Oh, it was really too bad.

- You want some?
- No. I'm…

So he shows up with his
identical twin brother

and he says, "Oh,
I'm making a movie."

"We're both acting in it."

"I'm the star, but he's
playing my best friend."

His identical twin brother
is playing his best friend.

- What the hell is that?
- Brilliant.

- I love it.
- Oh, God.

Is it possible to get a guy in
this town that isn't a maniac?

Or a total moron.

Hello. Hey, how's
everybody doing?

Whoa, a room full
of beautiful women.

Put that skunk weed away. You're
going to get me in trouble.

What's up, Marilyn?
So this is Sheryl.

- Yeah, hi.
- They told me that you went to Juilliard.

- No.
- Well, that's fantastic.

So I guess you're a real music
freak? Do you like the sound of this?

Yeah, it's cool.

There you go. See?

Women love that Black sound.

Come on, whatever
happened to Tony Bennett?

Whatever happened
to Bing Crosby?

I mean, if you want soul, listen
to Perry Como singing "Moonglow."

- Hey, can you do me a favor?
- Yeah.

Okay. You're an intelligent
girl, anyone can see that.

But when you get on that stage,

I don't want you to play
so smart, all right?

The guys are
getting intimidated.

- You know boys, they're babies.
- Right.

You know? That's right.

I just need you to laugh and
smile just over and over.

- Can you do that for me?
- Sure.

- I'd appreciate it.
- Of course.

There you go. You have
a beautiful smile.

- Mr. Burke, your wife's on the phone.
- Yeah?

Okay, thanks. Is this… Is
this the dress you're wearing?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, Bruce. Hey,
Bruce, can you hear me?

- Yes.
- Yeah,

can we get her in something
a little more flattering?

She's got the body,
so let's use it.

All right. Thank you so much.

Looks perfect.

The audience is filling up.
Everyone's getting excited.

Great.

Looks great.
Actually, know what?

Maybe we should try the updo.

Yeah, whatever you want.

- Yeah?
- I like it down.

You like it down?
Okay, let's do down.

Great.

Nice and flowing. Fabulous.

Careful. Smooth it
out. Watch the car.

Relax, Mom, it's fine.

This is it?

It doesn't look like
a television studio.

Mom, how would you know?
You've never seen one.

Hey, don't talk
back to your mother.

Just looks so drab.

What you see on TV, all
these lights and stages.

- There's lights inside, I promise.
- Doesn't it look drab?

Should we grab the
umbrellas? It's gonna rain.

Gonna rain? Come on.
Let's hurry it up.

How are you holding up?

I don't know.

I'm feeling a little drab.

On TV, they have all those
big lights and stages.

Yeah, yeah.

So what do you think?

- It's great.
- Awesome.

We're ready for you.

Okay.

All right, everybody.
Let's get started.

Fine to start without
the live feed.

It's fine. Good to go.

Ed's ready backstage.

Live from the Chuck Barris
Stages in Hollywood, California,

it's The Dating Game. And
now your host, Ed Burke.

Oh, thank you so much.
Thank you so much.

You're too kind.

Welcome back to The Dating Game.

I'm your host Ed Burke,

and we're absolutely thrilled
you're all joining us tonight.

And who knows? Will today
be the day that sparks fly?

All right, Ed's just
doing his intro now.

- As soon as he's done...
- Wait, he's on right now?

Mmm-hmm. Okay, oh, just
watch your step here.

- Be careful.
- Sorry.

Now, this is a program…

Okay, right over
here now. Stop, stop.

…and one very pretty girl.

- Okay.
- We give her a chance to question

the gentlemen…

Okay, now you're
just around here.

- Up these steps.
- Okay. Great.

And then what, I'm just on?

- Mmm-hmm. You okay?
- Uh-huh.

Great. Have fun.

…show you how we play
the game. Come with me.

Before we meet our three
eligible bachelors,

I think we should meet
our lovely bachelorette.

I had the chance to meet her backstage
and she is ready for a connection.

Sally Field. Sally
Field. Sally Field.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
the woman of the hour, Sheryl!

Shit.

I gotta get out of here.

Somewhere I can see the sky.

Yeah, I can't wait.

No, the place is great.
It's coming together.

I'm still seeing you
this weekend, right?

Yeah, well, you better, 'cause
you're in the doghouse now.

Shit.

Shit.

Sorry. Coming.

Coming.

Hey, hey.

- Hey, is this for 2-A?
- It is.

'Kay, great. Here,
I'll let you in.

We've been ringing the
apartment for ten minutes.

Sorry, I was in the
shower. I didn't hear it.

Tommy, let's go.

What?

You're just gonna
leave it all out here?

Wish we could help, but we
have a schedule to keep.

Hey, Ansel Adams.

- It's, like, the last thing.
- Yeah. It better be.

Yeah. I think it is.

Okay. Almost. Okay.

You want a beer?

You've never heard
of Roman Polanski?

- He's the doorman at the Ice Palace?
- No, no, no. No.

Big guy with the tattoos?

No. He's the short guy

who directed Repulsion
and Rosemary's Baby.

- Are those movies or...
- You're killing me.

- I'm trying to name-drop here.
- Drop away, man.

No, because you don't
know who I'm talking about

so it's not as impressive.

You're fucking with me.

Have I seen Rosemary's
Baby? Come on.

What? I don't know. Maybe
you don't like scary movies.

I don't like scary movies, but
I've seen Rosemary's-fucking-Baby.

Okay, so I took a class
with him at NYU, all right?

With Roman Polanski,
I mean. And that's it.

- That's all I wanted to say.
- Very impressive.

Do you feel better now?

You still go there?

I just graduated.

Congratulations. That's amazing.

So what now?

I'm off to New
Hampshire, actually.

Yeah. I'm gonna be
teaching kids photography.

Very cool.

Yeah.

You know, it's crazy.

It's my last day here,

and I meet you.

Like, it's so hard to meet people, you
know, that you can connect with, so…

when I do I just… I like to
savor the moment, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah, no, I'm… I'm the same way.

Hey, so I should probably
get this shit together.

I mean, this place is a mess.
I have to get unpacking.

It's, like, such a disaster. I don't
know where anything is gonna go,

it's, ugh, a bit insane.

But thank you so
much for your help.

It was very, very,
very useful, so…

So, you said you
were a stewardess?

Uh, yeah.

Well, what's that like?

Well, I get to get groped
by sweaty businessman

while putting things
in the overhead,

so what's not to love?

But, no, it is great.

I mean, I get to see the
world and travel for free and…

I mean, I get to go
to Egypt next week.

I've always wanted to go to
Egypt, so I'm very excited.

I think at first I was afraid
that I was gonna get lonely

being away from home, but
my airline is amazing...

Can I take your picture?

There she is. What a beauty.

Come on down here, darling.

There we go. You just
stand right there for me.

Sheryl is an aspiring actress
from Scranton, Pennsylvania.

She used to work massaging feet,

but quit when her boss asked
her to work her way up.

She moved here from L.A.
after graduating college

and now is hoping to find a
Romeo to complement her Juliet.

My goodness, you are a beauty.
What a knockout. How you doing?

- Uh, doing well.
- Okay. Fantastic.

- Are you ready to get this party started?
- Yeah.

Okay, well, let the games begin.

The rules of the
game are simple.

There are three bachelors
behind this partition.

You can ask them whatever you like
except for their name, age or occupation.

At the end, you pick which
one you'd like to go out with.

- Sound good?
- Great.

"A" camera, get ready
for the snap zoom.

Hi, Sheryl, pleased
to make your pleasure.

No, I mean, pleasure
to meet your, um…

- Save that talk for the date.
- Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

There we go. Third time's a
charm. Bachelor number two?

Hello, Sheryl.

Hello, hello, hello.

If you want to groove,
pick number two.

Oh, my God, is he
stuck like that?

We'll have to find out.

And would you please say hello
to Sheryl, bachelor number three?

Lights up on number three.

We're gonna have a great
time together, Sheryl.

He's confident.

Now you know what they sound like,
are you ready to take the next step?

I think I am.

- Do you have your question set?
- Sure do.

Let's take a seat and
make yourself comfortable.

And here we go.

Oh, Jesus, Ed. Okay,
cue the "applause" sign.

Bachelor number one,

we're in a drama class
and it's the big audition.

You're a nerdy schoolboy
asking me out on a date.

Take it away.

- Ooh!
- Uh…

Hey, I… I'm a…

You know, I'm a nerdy schoolboy.
Do you want to go on a date?

Is that it?

- Yeah.
- Well, we got a genius.

Pan to number two.

I like it, bachelor number one.

Um, bachelor number two, you're
the captain of the football team.

Go.

Hey there, Peggy Sue…

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I was thinking if you
weren't doing nothing,

maybe we could play a
game of touch football.

I'd be shirts, you'd be skins.

I don't know. That
sounds awfully rough.

Rough and rowdy, that's
the way I like it, babe.

Bachelor number three, you're
the accomplished professor.

Go for it.

Young lady, I'm gonna need
you to stay after class

and have a word with me.

Oh. Do you need to
teach me a lesson?

Yes. Yes, I do.

In fact, you're going
to have to bend over…

backwards with dedication.

Okay, um, bachelor number one…

If I served you for
dinner, what would you be?

Uh, I am the buffet.

I gotta get out of here.

- Right now? It's the middle of the show.
- Gotta go to the bathroom.

Everything okay?

- Look, stop.
- Where's she going?

Bachelor number two?

Oh, I'm a big old green salad
with the vinaigrette on the side,

because I like things undressed.

Ah, that's funny.

Bachelor number one…

Jesus, what the fuck was that?

- Guys, what was that?
- Was that part of the show?

What do we do?

Somebody down there
get Ed's attention.

Ed. Say something.

Uh, well, ladies and gentlemen,
that is the end of round one,

and I think we're going
to hear from our sponsors.

- We'll be right back.
- Go to commercial. Go to two.

What the fuck was that?

'Kay, everyone, we're resetting.
Someone clean that up.

What the fuck was that?

Oh, baby, you're doing amazing.
Just knocking it out of the park.

Great.

Hey, the magic of
television. Huh?

We got some time. Who's
here from out of town?

Hollywood, first time? Oh!

Bet you didn't think it
was gonna be that exciting.

Right, just clean this up.

Look, this is not my job.
She came from over there.

Goddamnit.

Um, do you know where...

He's probably somewhere
upstairs holding court.

Yeah, I met her at
Warren Beatty's house.

Warren Beatty's house.
Listen to this fucking guy.

Hey, uh, Rodney?

- This is the new guy, Mario, right?
- Yeah.

And her parents
let you take this?

Let me? They paid me.

No.

I can see it. I think it'd be great.
That's how the industry works.

Yeah, I know how it works.

- She's just 13.
- Yeah, but, I mean, come on.

Girls these days…

You know, I took that one
in Malibu a few weeks ago.

Yeah. It's nice.

You know, I was just thinking
maybe going there later today.

I usually find my subject
at the beach, but…

You'd look great in that light,
so, you know, if you're around…

Yeah. Yeah. I mean,
I'm not… I'm not busy.

You're not busy.

I'm free whenever.

- Rod. Rod?
- Yeah?

Some people are here to see you.

Yeah, who? Warren Beatty?

It's the police.

Oh, yeah, no, um, my place,
it was jacked last week, so…

Some of the camera
equipment was lost.

They're probably just
following up on that, you know?

All right. See you guys later.

Party's over.

Well, that's… That's
your job, right?

It's not my job.

Yeah. Yeah, you know, we always
gotta check these things out.

You're just doing your job.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

It's okay. Thank you,
guys. Appreciate it.

Fuck.

Hey.

Uh, so, um…

Later, I can't,

'cause they actually
want me to stay late

because I…

There's like, nobody
here. Short on staff.

Um…

Another time?

Yeah.

I'll find someone else.

Okay.

Sorry.

Alison?

Al, are you in there?

Hey, Al, I've been calling for a while
and I'm just a little worried about you.

Okay, I'm gonna use the spare.

Now, I'm coming in, okay? If
you're in there, I'm coming in.

Yeah, it's all good. All good.

Excuse me.

Gotta work in here.

What'd I tell you? Lug nuts.

- How am I doing?
- You're great. Fabulous.

What is it? What's the matter?

Oh, nothing. Nothing.

I'm trying to do what Ed said. Just
feels a little weird. That's all.

Oh, fuck Ed.

No disrespect, but fuck him.

This isn't a sitcom, you're
not coming back next week.

What's Ed gonna do? Fire you?

You're supposed to be having
fun. That's the whole point.

So just be yourself.
Say whatever you want.

Do either of you have a pen?

- Yeah, here you go.
- Thank you.

She looks fine.

- Yeah, she's gorgeous.
- Yeah.

Yeah. Look at these guys.

Thank you.

Don't mind if I do.

No, thanks.

Too small.

Seriously, anything under
a C cup, can't do it.

What about her?

What about her?

You haven't seen her yet.
What if she's petite?

I'll let her blow me.

No, you won't.

I won't? And why is that?

Because I always get the girl.

You guys all set down there?

Check in with Matthew
to see how close we are.

He says he just
needs 30 seconds.

"B" camera, come on.
We're up and running.

In place, everyone.

Ladies, stop messing with her hair.
I know you're barely touching her.

We're ready for you.

- Don't let that throw you. You got this.
- Okay, Mr. Burke.

Hey, you guys good? You
need anything? Okay, great.

We're on.

Laura. Are you okay?

- Hey.
- I know bachelor number three.

Oh.

Did you date him or something?

No, I didn't date him. I… He…

Do you remember my friend
Alison, the one who was…

Yeah. I remember you
talking about her.

And there was that
guy at the beach and…

I shouldn't have
left her there. I…

I told her to be careful, and I
knew that there was something wrong.

I knew something was
off about that guy.

- You gave his description to the police.
- Yeah. That's the guy.

Bachelor number three?

Um…

How sure are you?

I'm pretty sure.

- Pretty sure?
- Like 90%.

But you're not positive.

I'm just saying this guy might
look really similar, right?

I'm not saying that I
don't believe you, Laura.

I mean, if this guy did
what you're implying, then…

wouldn't he be in jail
and not on a TV show?

I don't know. I...

It's a big TV show.

You don't think they
vet their contestants?

- I...
- Maybe it is the guy, right?

And maybe the police, they looked
into him and they cleared him.

Look, I love you.

And I'm really sorry that
you lost your friend.

It must feel like he's
around every corner.

I can't even imagine, but…

I'm just not sure what
you want me to do.

Get out.

- What?
- Get out.

- Laura...
- Now!

Okay, everyone. Here
we go. Look alive.

We're back into it in
five, four, three, two…

All right. Welcome back
to The Dating Game.

Thank you for bearing through
that, uh, technical difficulty.

Back to the show. Sheryl, the
floor is yours. Take it away.

Bachelor number one,

Einstein said that sitting on a hot
stove for a minute feels like an hour,

but sitting next to a nice girl
for an hour feels like a minute.

That was his theory of special
relativity. What's yours?

Um…

What?

I'll come back to you.

Wait. Was that the
actual question?

Bachelor number two, when you
invite a girl out for dinner,

- what do you expect in return?
- Ooh.

Uh…

I guess that depends on the meal.
Are we talking filet mignon, or what?

That's a good question, are we?

Yeah. Sure. I'm
a generous guy.

- Good to know.
- Are these the scripted questions?

Since I'm spending an
arm and a leg on dinner,

I'd like to think that she could
at least provide the dessert.

Oh, and what would
you order for dessert?

- Oh, you know.
- No, I don't. Tell me.

Something hot.

Like cherries flambé?

Yeah, with lots
of whipped cream.

Sorry, I'm on a diet.

Bachelor number one, how's that theory
of special relativity coming along?

- Hmm?
- Groovy, keep at it.

Bachelor number three,

what's the difference
between a boy and a man?

A boy thinks that buying a woman
dinner means she owes him something.

Okay, and what does a man think?

Well, for starters,

he knows better than to
start talking about dessert

before he's made
it through dinner.

That's not bad.

Bachelor number one, any luck?

Keep up, she's going
back to the genius.

I can't.

Okay. Should I be taking
notes, teacher, or…

Oh, it will be on
the final exam, Ed.

That's good.

Bachelor number three, your
buddy's drawing a blank.

Want to help him out?

With his theory of
special relativity?

Yeah.

Whether it's for a
minute or for an hour,

I'd like to sit relatively
close to a special girl

whenever I get the chance.

How's that?

That's pretty good.
That's not bad.

Bachelor number one, I threw
you a curveball last time.

I'll say. I didn't know I needed to
be an astrologer to be on this show.

- Do you mean an astronomer?
- Is there a difference?

Do you want there to be?

- Um, no.
- By the way,

Einstein was a physicist, not
an astronomer. Doesn't matter.

Are you gonna ask me a question?

I just asked you two, but sure.

In the Groundwork of the
Metaphysics of Morals,

- Immanuel Kant argues…
- She'll give him a heart attack.

I don't…

I'm kidding. Bachelor
number one, I'm kidding.

I'm just having fun with you.

Bachelor number one,
this is nice and easy.

What are girls for?

Uh, what do you mean?

Just what I said.
What are girls for?

Jeez, you're getting
edgy with this one.

Oh, want to go back
to Immanuel Kant?

No, no, I can do this.

Good to hear it. I believe
in you, bachelor number one.

Thank you.

Uh, girls are for…

guys.

And… you know, having fun with.

Well, Gloria Steinem
would be proud.

Being a little hard on the boys.

- I think we're all having fun.
- Of course.

Aren't we having fun?

See? We're having so much fun.

Bachelor number two,
what are girls for?

Uh… Why does this
feel like a trap?

I don't know. Why does it?

Well, because if I say girls
are for wining and dining,

then I sound like a jerk,

and if I say they're for
respecting or whatever,

then I just sound like a
schmuck looking to get laid.

Okay, bachelor number two, I
think you answered my question.

Hey, wait. No, I didn't
mean it like that.

Moving on.

Bachelor number three,
I'm counting on you.

What are girls for?

I… No.

No. No one's beaten Ali twice.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Uh, Jim, give me a second.
Can I help you with something?

Um, I need to speak with
someone on The Dating Game.

You want tickets, you need
go to guest relations.

Go back down the
hallway, take a right.

I don't want to see the
show. I just came from there.

I need to speak with
someone who works on it,

like a producer or something.

What for?

There's someone on the show
right now who shouldn't be there.

Who shouldn't be
there? Your boyfriend?

- No.
- Husband?

Last year, a friend of mine
was raped and murdered,

and the police never…

I think that the guy that killed
her is up on that stage right now.

Bachelor number three.

And this is a very dangerous man,
so can you just call someone for me?

Please.

Hey, Jim, I'm gonna have
to call you back. Yeah.

What are girls for?

Yeah, that's right.

Hmm. I guess I'd have to say
that that's up to the girl.

That's a very good answer.

Oh, yeah, we love that.

Um…

Bachelor number three, I
have a follow-up question.

Shoot.

You've been with the other
bachelors for a while now.

We've talked for a bit, yeah.

Okay. Tell me, what's
the most disgusting thing

bachelors one and two have
said or done backstage?

Besides coming on
this show, of course.

That's good.

Oh, gosh. Um…

That's a tough one.
If I'm being honest,

bachelor number one didn't
really say anything disgusting.

That's, uh… That's
true. I didn't.

And what about
bachelor number two?

Um, I can't repeat it word for word as
how we're on television and all, but…

he had some thoughts
about bra sizes

being a prerequisite for
a meaningful relationship.

Oh. Is that right?

Oh, darn it, that signals
the end of our game.

Sheryl, it's time
to make a decision.

Why don't you sit right
there, analyze what you heard?

We're going to take
a little time for you

to make a decision about
the very fine products…

You can wait in the office here.
Someone will be with you shortly.

Who?

George Elliot. Series producer.

You can have a seat if you like.

He'll be able to
help you. Good luck.

Thank you.

Really.

And we'll be right back.

And we're out.

After the show, I want
this cunt out of here.

I never want to see her again.

I know. I'm so sorry, sir.

So who you gonna pick?

- Oh, knock it off.
- What? I'm just asking.

Do you think I went too far?

I think he thinks
you went too far.

He thinks everything is too far.

Yeah, but do you, though?

Honey, I've been on
the show since 1968

and I've seen more idiots flirting
back and forth than I can count.

The one thing I've learned is
no matter what words they use,

the question beneath the
question remains the same.

All right. What's the question?

Which one of you will hurt me?

You just asked it
clearer than most.

Hey, man, what the fuck?

Why would you tell her that?

She asked.

Fuck you.

You know what? Soon as this show's over,
you and me, we're gonna have words.

Is that right?

Well, what if I don't show?

You gonna hire somebody
to track me down?

Fucking pussy.

You know what? I
have a better idea.

Why don't we swap contact information
so we know where to find each other?

Okay. Yeah.

Stocker Street, Glendale.
Yeah, I know where that is.

Here.

Jesus, what the
fuck is that, man?

It's fake.

You fucking weirdo.

Yeah.

All right, folks,
everyone in place.

That's enough. Let's
get out of here.

Let's move this
chair. Get up, Sheryl.

We've had an entire commercial break
to get rid of this. Come on. Go.

Here, right there.

- And five, four, three, two…
- Go, go.

Boys are babies, right?

Welcome back to The Dating Game.

Sheryl, you have played
this game beautifully,

but now it is time
to make a decision.

Our bachelors were cool,
candid, sharp and, uh, patient,

but only one of them
can get the date.

Will it be bachelor number one,

bachelor number two or
bachelor number three?

Sheryl, who is the lucky guy?

- Number three.
- Number three.

My, my, my. Let me
ask you, Sheryl,

what about number three
appealed to you the most?

He knows what girls are for.

He knows what girls are for.

Before we meet
bachelor number three,

let me introduce you
to bachelor number one.

From Sherman Oaks,

he is a medical intern and
desires to own his own practice.

His hobbies include
reading and golf.

Please welcome Josh Young.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

Wonderful job. Marvelous job.

Bachelor number two is a
furniture designer from Glendale

who enjoys Frisbee and dancing.

Sheryl, please meet Arnie Aslan.

Careful with that asshole.

Thank you, gentlemen.

We have some very fine parting
gifts for you right out this way.

It is time to come face to face
with the bachelor you did choose,

but, first, I'd like to tell
you a little bit about him.

Bachelor number three hails
from the great state of Texas.

He's a skydiver, into motorcycling,
and is a fine photographer.

Please welcome Rodney Alcala.

- How are you?
- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.
- So nice to meet you.

Well, you did it, Rodney.

You offered some great answers
to some very tricky questions

- and you got the girl.
- Thanks, Ed.

Rodney and Sheryl,
pack your bags,

you're going on an all-expense
paid trip to Carmel, California.

Thanks for joining us.

We'll see you next time
on The Dating Game.

And we're out.

- Great job, sir. Follow me.
- Sheryl, sweetie?

This way. Watch your step here. Just
go through this door. Thank you.

Excuse me?

Hi, I'm sorry to bother you. Um…

I'm supposed to meet with someone
named George Elliot. He's a producer.

I beg your pardon?

George Elliot. He's an executive
producer on The Dating Game.

Do you know where
I could find him?

It's very important
that I speak with him.

I doubt that very much.

Why?

Because I'm George Elliot.

What?

Let me guess.

Security guard out front,
he set this up, yeah?

He is a real asshole, all right.

Excuse me.

If there's something I can
do, I'd be happy to try and...

Thank you so much
again. Did you have fun?

- Yeah, I had a lot of fun.
- Okay, right this way.

- This way? Got it.
- Just around this corner here.

- I thought it went really well.
- I think so too.

Now, safe travels.
We'll be in touch.

Thank you so much.

Sheryl?

Hi. Hey.

I lost you back there.

Yeah, I looked for you after
I changed, but that was crazy.

The whole thing was crazy.

They shoved me on stage, the
lights went on and here we go.

Yeah. Yeah.

It was kind of fun.

I mean, it was evil and soul-crushing,
but… I had a little fun.

Yeah.

But, yeah, uh, I guess
I'll see you in Carmel.

I mean, do you wanna
go somewhere now?

No fucking way.

This is beautiful.

Hey.

You want some?

Hell yeah.

Man, who would have thought that
I'd found the love of my life today?

Don't make me fucking
laugh, you asshole.

Take it easy.

Is that your stuff?

Yeah, that's some of my work.

Let's see what I'm working with.

Wow.

These are, um…

I won 500 with that one.

No shit.

Yep.

All right, well,
enough of this crap.

Why don't you spill it
out? Where are you from?

Why do you want to know?

Why are you not telling me?

Maybe because I didn't
fucking like it there.

Ah, okay.

So you're a runaway.

Oh, my God.

You make me sound like
I'm Oliver-fucking-Twist.

I'm independent.

Your folks, they
must be worried.

Tammy's too loaded to
worry about anything.

What about your
dad? Where's he at?

Who knows?

He took off when I was a kid.

That must have been tough.

You know, growing
up without him.

Oh, please.

When did your dad
walk out on you?

Did you make it to eighth grade?

Did you ever try to find him?

No. I'm afraid I'd kill him.

It's amazing how one selfish asshole
can fuck up your entire life.

Here.

What is this?

It's chocolate.

What's it for?

It's Valentine's Day.

You're my valentine.

That looks pretty far.

It's not. It's
just up that hill.

Hill?

- You wearing comfortable shoes?
- Yeah.

Good, 'cause you'll need 'em.

You ready?

- Yeah.
- All right, follow me.

Almost there.

Sun's going down too.

Where do you want me to stand?

Just keep going that
way, by the rock.

This one?

Just keep going.

Yeah, right by the edge.

There, that's nice.

Now turn around, face the light.

Yeah, that's beautiful.

You're a natural.

All right, just one more.

Now look up straight to the sky.

Did you get the shot?

Rodney?

Oh, my God, where are
we? What is this place?

I don't know,

but this is what happens when
a pretty girl like yourself

tells me to duck into
the first place I find.

Oh, my God.

I thought it looked
normal from the outside.

- What are you reading?
- Oh, uh…

Uh, Cowboy Mouth.
It's this play.

Sam Shepard, Patti Smith.

Yeah.

I saw the… The original run.

Really? So you
lived in New York.

Yeah, NYU.

- Columbia.
- Mmm.

I probably passed
you on the subway.

Mmm. I think I
would remember you.

Um…

Sometimes it's necessary to go
a long distance out of the way

in order to come back a
short distance correctly.

Is that Cowboy Mouth or…

Oh, no, The Zoo Story.

Ah, that's right. Oh, my God.

It's such a beautiful piece.

- You know it?
- Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, Albee's
an incredible writer.

He is. He's, um… He's a genius.

You know, he's actually…
It's one of my favorites.

Wow, you know your stuff.

Um…

Anyway, there's a
production of Cowboy Mouth

that's going up at the Odyssey, so
I'm auditioning in, like, a week.

Cool.

Well, I can't wait
to see you in that.

- Yeah, I don't have the part yet.
- It's in the bag.

- Oh, yeah, you think so?
- Yeah, for sure.

I mean you have this Patti
Smith vibration thing going on.

That's sweet. I could not have less
of a Patti Smith vibration going on.

I'm not talking about this.

I'm talking about…
soul, you know?

Okay.

That's very far out.

I mean, it's… I
think that's good.

That's good. I'm into that.

I'm probably making this
harder than it has to be.

I don't date much. I don't
date at all, actually.

But you decided to go
to The Dating Game.

Yeah, that's funny. Um…

My agent said it
would get me seen.

"It's good exposure.
It'll get you seen."

Did you feel seen?

I felt looked at.

How do you feel right now?

Fine.

Fine.

You know, most people
don't like to be seen.

They're afraid.

Because you have to be
comfortable with yourself.

You have to stop performing.

Hmm.

I never hide who I am.

Excuse me, ma'am? Can you
give us another round?

We had the mai tais.

Sorry, you missed last
call. We're just closing up.

That's a shame.

Well, I guess we'll have to
get out of here then, huh?

Yeah.

- Parked back at the lot?
- Yeah.

I'll walk with you.

What's your number?

I figure we have to connect
before we go to Carmel, so…

Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

Something wrong?

No.

Thanks.

Good night.

Hey.

Can you tell me your number?

- I just gave it to you.
- Yeah, no, I know, I just…

want to make sure I
have the right one.

You know, sometimes the fours,
they kind of look like nines.

Right. Um…

Yeah, just let me
see it and I...

You can't repeat it from memory?

So I guess this means we're not
really meeting up in Carmel anymore?

I'm not going anywhere with you.

All right.

Fair enough.

Maybe I'll see you around.

Yeah, maybe.

Then you'd get your
fucking head bashed in.

What?

Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck.

Fuck.

Get your fucking
hand off my car.

Fuck.

So great.

Sarah, can you save
that for later? Thanks.

Really good. Yeah, try one more.

You ready?

Yeah, I did.

I did file a report in
December of last year,

and I don't know what else to tell…
This man, he was on national television.

Look, I don't know who
you spoke with, all right?

I… I don't know who
I spoke with either.

How many... Forget it.

Do your fucking job!

Fuck!

- Ma'am?
- Sorry. I'm going.

Sheryl, sweetie, I think
you're making a mistake.

I can appreciate that, Helen.

Right now MGM is looking
for an unknown brunette

for this big
thriller they've got,

and they do want to see a swimsuit
photo before you can audition...

- I'm not gonna do that.
- I'll see if they can make an exception.

No, not just this
audition, all of it.

Don't be the girl who
was on one stupid TV show

and was never seen again.
You're better than that.

Yeah, I know.

Listen, I'm really sorry
that it didn't work out

and I appreciate
everything, I really do.

Um…

Bye, Helen.

I just, um…

Okay.

This is everything,
so we're good to go.

Hey.

Hey, are you okay?

I guess things got
pretty crazy last night.

Do you think that you
could do me a favor?

Do you think that you could
not tell anyone about this?

Please?

I would just be so
fucking embarrassed.

You know how judgmental
people can be.

Thank you.

So…

Do you want to go
back to your place?

Okay.

Cool.

Can you help me with these?

Someone knows how to tie a knot.

Something tells me
you were a Boy Scout.

Hey, um…

I just wanted to say…

I'm sorry if I was rough
with you back there.

It's okay, baby.

Everything's okay.

I'm gonna take a leak.
You want something?

- I'm okay.
- Okay.

- Don't move!
- Hands where I can see 'em.

Get on the fucking ground!

Tony, call for backup!

- Get the cuffs. Hold his legs down.
- Get your fucking hands off of me!

- Stop resisting.
- Don't do this. Let go.

Dave, get him.

We're out by mile marker 112.
We need assistance immediately.

Okay.

Take a breath.

He's… He's done.
