Oh Frank, when are you taking me to Carolina?

Got it!

How's the Epic coming along?

Just fine, but...

Oh no, n0...

Last time I saw her, was at the wrap party.

Iwanted to call her, I should have stayed in touch with her.

Unfortunately,

They think it's a serial killer.

Good night, good night, good night.

Frank is my friend.

Oh, no!

I don't believe it.

Where did you get this?

I have my sources.

Look at that!

I'm giving you his breakfast, you know?

Do you want to play games with me? In a minute!

1970...

- I was 25. -Right.

My first feature.

Oh no.

Here come the dead people.

You know, how much I wanted to cut out these dead people?

The producer said: "No dead people, no movie“

Can I come in?

How are you?

- Antonio, what a pleasure to see you! - Good to see you, too! Frank?

He's been waiting for you.

More like he's hiding from me!

'Ant0nioni!'

- I'm so happy to see you! - Me too, really.

- How was the trip? - All good, thanks

- So, what do we do now? - Let's watch the film.

The film? What film? ls there a film to watch?

Of course, our film...

- Come on, what do you think I'm here for? - Oh, you mean this film! OK!

OK, dear, let's start nice and slow...

...and try not to bust my balls.

That's my job.

Don't I know it.

OK, let's go...

Look at that face. The face of the best actor in the world.

The best ever! Ever!

I'm number one! Number one!

Big actor, I am a big actor. Number One!

I'm the best, yes, the best.

Better than Al Pacino, I'm better than Robert de Niro!

I'm better than Marlon Brando!

Frank! You shit bastard!

Piss on you!

Shit! Shit!

Bastard! Piss!

You're going to give me that role in your shit film! That role is mine!

'Cause I'm the best!

I'm number one! One!

I am Number One.

- All right, what is it you don't like? - You have to ask?

What the hell kind of film are you making, here?

What kind of film am I making? You know very well what kind of...

Yeah, I know. I know.

But the movie I wrote for you was another film. You've changed everything!

Antonio, I've already told you that...

...in order to finish the film, for the producer to give me the money...

I had to "give in" and make a few changes.

'A few changes?' You've massacred my script...

...deleted characters. Changed the ending!

Who the hell's side are you on?

Antonio, I had no choice.

Do what you want. You're the director. It's your film.

Count me out!

I'm sorry...

...Antonio, please don't act like this.

Antonio!

I had no choice.

I didn't have any choice.

- Hey, Frank! I'm David! -No!

Frank, you promised!

Asshole! Idiot!

Frank is my friend.

Hi Frank.

Hi Fernando. How are you?

Isy, you've met our new Executive Producer, Fernando Lola, right?

Hi.

She's Debbie.

Ciao Frank. You are my real first director.

She wants to be an actress.

I played Lola in Damned Yankees in North Hollywood High.

Everybody said that I had a perfect accent.

And listen: I was Lola

and his name is Lola. Isn't that funny? It's destiny.

Yes, it is enough.

Frank, when will you complete the movie?

Well, If I'm not mistaken, we agreed to six weeks.

- Six weeks, right, lsy? -Right...right.

No, no. One week.

Frank, one week.

But this is nuts. This is nuts.

I might just blow my brains out.

But we can do it. We'll get to work over the weekend.

- Whatever Lola wants. -Lola gets!

Debbie, the poster...

Frank, a surprise for you: do you like it?

What the hell is that...

what the fuck are you doing?

What's happened with the original one?

Where's the original design, that we did?

Fernando thought it was too dated. Too 'metaphorical.'

That's disgusting, That's got nothing to do with this film.

It's a horror film. Not art!

It's a psychological thriller.

And that piece of shit has nothing to do with this film.

Understand?

This has nothing to do with my film. If this stays in, I'm out!

Do it, or I'll cut off your balls!

Frank, he's speaking only metaphorically, of course.

That's when I'll grow them back...

'Metaphorically speaking.'

You do your job and I'll do mine.

- Nice to meet you, Frank. -Debbie!

Whats up, Sweetie? 'Something bothering you?

Just the usual. Problems at work.

- I should just forget about them. - Of course!

Just think about having a good time.

I'm the one who can 'blow' away those bad thoughts.

I know.

Give me a second. I'll be right back.

Hey.

Yes, I'm still here!

No. I won't be available for at least a couple of hours. What a waste.

No! You know that I don't do it for the money...well, sometimes.

No, in fact he's a screenwriter! You get it?

Maybe he can help me to get a part in his next film...

It's a horror film!

I have to go. He's coming back.

What's up, baby? 'You ready?

What are you doing there?

Are you sleeping?

What the fuck...

Things are happening!

Let's make a go of it. Let's dump all of this.

Let's try again, lsy. I've changed.

- You've changed. -I can't do that to you, Frank.

To us, okay?

You'll never forgive me, if I let you stop now.

We're going to finish this thing together.

I didn't want it this way.

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina

In the morning...

Everything is okay.

Great, we sold the movie everywhere!

Frank's still a hot commodity!

Great, you got what you wanted.

Let's celebrate!

No!

No, no, no!

- So, when are you going to ask him? - What?

About my audition for his next film!

I don't need to ask.

He'll do what I tell him.

Or what?

Or I'll kick his ass.

- What? -Bad night?

It's nothing. Just a headache.

- Here, here. -Don't worry about it.

- Take this. -What are they?

Just Aspirin.

Listen, I want to apologize for losing it the other day...

-it's no problem. -And then what?

And then what?

I don't intend to let you down. Let's get back to work.

Okay? Destiny calls.

Tell destiny to call back.

We're busy.

Okay, avanti.

Go back a little bit. Just before that last cut.

Okay, stop it there.

Piano, Piano.

A little bit. Okay.

I think we need to...

I think we need to cut about 24 frames. Go back a little bit.

That's it. Right there.

Okay.

That was intense. That was...

- What do you think? -Great scene, Frank.

- Did you really think so? -I know so!

Your performance really makes it.

Let's run it from the top. I want to see it from the start.

Okay, sure.

Isy?

We are all here, Frank.

We have broken the bones of your celluloid dreams.

Triumphed as you never would have imagined.

Our destiny has become yours, Frank.

The beautiful horror of it all.

Nothing can be finer than to be in Carolina...

in the morning...

See you in Carolina, Frank.

No one can be sweeter than my Sweetie, when I greet her...
