So how's your leading man?

He's a good actor.

That's not what I mean. I mean, have you kissed him yet?

Don't start that again.

I mean in the movie.

I mean in the movie.

Do you like have a kissing scene with me, Paula?

A little bit more.

Yo, Brad, they supposed to be kissing with their lips like that? That's what

happens when people kiss. They get their lips stuck together.

Hey, pal, watch your fucking hands in there, man. Cut, cut, cut. What are you

doing? What are you doing?

Let me tell you something about movie making. I'm the director. Hey, what's

answer, pal? You know who writes your checks? I don't even know the man.

It's what actors do. It's called acting, Leo.

Listen,

Leo, why don't you just go home, okay? Because if you don't, you're going to

ruin everything for me.

I would, except for this one small problem.

It's my movie.

Hold on, my girlfriend.

She's never really been out before.

Well, I'm going to say this. She's like a very beautiful woman.

I've got an envelope here with $1 ,000 in it.

I want you to keep a good close eye on her. Watch everything she does.

I love it, Jake. I love the work.

I just wish I could feel like this forever, you know?

Hey, why don't you and I go get some ice cream?

Ice cream?

Yeah, ice cream, you know.

You had it when you were a kid, Cole.

All right, all right. But it is me that's producing this goddamn movie for

I mean, I got a right to know how it's coming along.

Oh, just fine.

What's wrong? You don't seem like yourself.

Oh, I just had a really rotten night, that's all.

Leo, what happened?

Hey, you don't have to talk about it.

Sure wish I could make all that pain go away, though.

We can't do this. We can't.

Yeah, Leo.

You go.

Hey, you got nothing to worry about.

The girl's been straight with you.

Yeah, okay, okay.

Well, if you need me, you know where I'll be.

Okay, bye.

Very good. Isn't that good stuff?

Yeah.

I mean, scotch is the best. Speaking of rare.

Oh, really.

Hey, Val.

What are you doing here?

Why are you avoiding me?

Why are you whispering?

It's Carter.

We have no big secrets.

Okay. Well, why are you avoiding me?

Val, I'm not avoiding you. I'm busy. I'm making a movie.

I can see you're really busy.

Fuck the movies. I hate the goddamn movies.

I mean, you need to make time for us.

Time for us, Val? What the hell is time for us?

It's over.

Get a life.

I'll take a flash.

Excuse me.

I don't think so.

I think you should have done a man on that one.

My gosh.

You know,

I want to be in the movies more than anything in the world. And I know you're

producing one right now.

I take it you're one of the freaking actresses, huh?

No, I want to work behind the scenes.

Well, they already hired the crew, sweetheart.

Well, I would do anything. I mean, you wouldn't even have to pay me. I'd work

for free.

I'm very good.

I believe you when you say you'd do anything.

You know, I'm going to enjoy being in the movie business.

Listen, I can't. I can't do this.

I need some coffee.

Coffee? Yes.

I'll just sit here and be a good little girl.

Nurse?

No, no, no.

No, no, I just...

Just, uh, fucking sugar that.

Uh...

Oh, God.

Fucking sugary coffee there.

No. No, no.

I'd say it probably needs some really good sex.

Oh. Oh, shit.

Uh, please. Fuck it. Yeah.

I mean, I even think that I can use a lot of good things in life.

You know what I mean?

What?

Do you know what I mean?

I can think of all the things that I can possibly

need.

Oh, God.

What do you think?

You are fucking beautiful.

Yeah? Oh, my God, you're fucking beautiful.

I think that I lose a lot of love.

Including, uh... Good sex, yeah?

What do you think?

No.

You know, every fucking now and then, you just got to do it, don't you?

Let's turn to prayer.

I like to be gazed.

So do you like hot, wet places?

I must, I'm with you.

Yes, just hold on.

Hold on.

It's hot.

Yes, I think it's fucking rattle because you can feel that cock inside you.

Oh, shit.

How do you like it now?

Oh,

fuck.

Yes. Keep going, baby. Don't stop.

That's it.

Don't stop, baby. I'm going to come.

Yes. Yes. Keep going, baby.

Lay down.

Don't forget, baby.

This doesn't fucking go anywhere but between you and me.

You got your fucking job.

Bathroom's that way.

Okay.

And you keep your mouth shut, too.

I know how guys like to brag.

Besides, we didn't really do nothing.

And we ain't gonna do nothing again.

Oh, just a joke, Blanche.

What joke?

Tell it to me.

Go ahead, Buck.

You tell her.

I'm going to go get CW.

I wanted you to have my number in case you need to get a hold of me for just a

talk or anything.

Thanks.

Sure.

It's broader than you're ready for you on set.

Who are you?

Valerie, the new PA.

Oh, um, just call me Paula, okay? Oh, okay.

Um, what set am I on?

The back road by the car. Okay. Okay?

You're invading my life. You have no right to be here. Yes, I do. I'm working

just like you are. Listen to me, goddammit. I don't want you spying on me

face every minute.

Why should I be in your face? You've been on my cut for the past year.

I mean, is there someone else? Is it her?

She has nothing to do with it.

I saw the way she looked at you.

Oh.

You two have been up to something.

Don't be crazy.

Look, she loves a client.

Would I do something like that to my own brother?

Something like what?

Go on, Blanche. Tell him what you think.

Tell him.

Nothing, Claude.

Where's Bonnie?

She went to town to pick up C .W.

God damn it, Buck.

I told you to pick up C .W. I don't want Bonnie in no whorehouse.

Cut.

Valerie, go run down and get Bobby Grant.

We're going to be shooting. We're going to need him in 20 minutes.

Okay. All right, guys.

Let's roll through this again.

Take your places.

Oh, boy.

Hey, we need you on set in a few minutes.

Yeah, I am. My hands are cold. I'll bet your mine are colder.

Ah! Oh, my God. I'm going to get goosebumps. I'm going to put it in my

and warm your fingers up.

I like that. I'm going to stand right here.

This is so cute.

That part.

Does anyone know mine?

No.

Boom.

One of those.

Push it.

His praise starts in heaven.

Thank you.

I got some stickers.

start with me, all right?

You're so late.

Just a little something so you wouldn't forget how

I really felt about you.

Thank you. It's beautiful.

You know, I know I've been kind of screwing up here, and I just wanted to

you know that, well, I promised things were going to be a lot different.

It's such a beautiful gift.

It's not a gift, Paula.

It's a purchase. He bought you.

You're just too weak to throw it back in his face.

He loves me.

Oh, yeah?

Why did he just offer me $1 ,000 to keep tabs on you, Paula?

That's right. I'll report directly to him if you're screwing around with any

the guys on the set.

If that's love, you're sick if he is.

Why are you telling me this?

for you.

What I want to do tomorrow around sundown is we want to get an external

this thing going over the mountains. I think it'll be pretty good. We'll go up

in the hills and do a white cat. Yeah.

I want to be an actress.

Congratulations. I want to be a director.

Anyway. No, honestly, honey, that's great, but, you know, it takes a lot of

work.

Dedication. Dedication.

Desire. Commitment.

And you need connections.

Connections? Yeah.

Sometimes, you know, it's not what you know, but who you know.

Exactly.

Oh, well, I don't know anyone yet.

You do. You know Arthur.

What about the part of Elmont?

The part of Velma. Oh, yeah, Velma.

You could be in the part of Velma.

Does Velma speak?

Yeah, she's got a few lines.

It's just her and her boyfriend get kidnapped by a gang, and they have to

in the back seat, and they're sitting on his lap. You know, it's easy stuff.

A little easy.

Well, how many lines does she have?

Six or seven.

Go on, give it a try. Yeah, go ahead, Rita.

Well, could she just be kidnapped and they

take a hanky and they put it in her mouth and they gag her and that way she

doesn't have to speak?

That way she doesn't have to speak at all. That would be great.

Yeah, they could gag her and maybe handcuff her.

Yes, handcuff her.

Yeah.

That's perfect. I'd be great for that.

What do you think?

Let's give it a run for it.

Okay,

go ahead and sit down.

This is the 1930 Chrysler.

1930 Chrysler, you've been kidnapped.

I've just been kidnapped. I've been picked up by the thugs.

Yeah. I'm supposed to drive along.

What are you going to do? I'm driving around looking at the countryside.

Yeah. I don't think this is in the script, Arthur. I got my gun.

Yeah.

This isn't in the script.

We could do a rewrite.

You have people call the screenwriters people.

Yeah. Let me just do a scream test right now.

Scream test.

Yeah.

Now, this is not SAG -affiliated.

Oh, okay.

You can't complain about it.

Well, is this, like, do you do this with everybody?

Yeah.

No, he does. This is for company.

Oh.

Do you want me to boost you guys?

Keep him on, keep him on, keep him on.

Give me that.

in the car?

Yeah, I think we'll have an extra big car.

We'll work a van into the rewrite.

They didn't have vans back then.

Is it too big for you?

Are you going to choke on it?

Stop.

How's her pussy?

I mean, I think you got the drive.

making Hollywood.

She could be filming.

Who's that other actress we hired for that movie?

Tracy Lode or something.

Tracy Lord.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Fucking vicious.

Look at that.

Twin Peaks. The Wonder Years.

You know that new PA on the set, Valerie?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I've seen her around. Um, I had a thing going with her

while back.

She's caused a lot of problems on the set.

Not working out.

Trouble for me and for Paula.

Yeah? Okay, I'll take care of it. Don't worry about it.

You can't come in here, man.

What are you talking about? You know me. I work here.

Not anymore.

Fuck!

I'm sorry.

Fuck you.

Leo, it's Valerie.

Yes.

Yes, and Jake. He dumped me because of her.

It doesn't matter who told you, Paula. I just want to know if it's true.

Come on, you've got to tell me if it's true. No, you're hurting me.

No, why?

Because if I ever found out you were cheating on me, I swear... Did what?

Kill me?

Don't make me laugh.

He wasn't like this before.

A little jealous, but nothing like this.

I can't take it anymore.

I gotta get away.

He's sitting down.

Where'd everybody go?

I don't know.

Car's gone.

I think everybody went to get some food.

It's really cold out there.

Is it?

Wendy.

Really?

with you.

Look, I'm fine, really.

I'll just pack a few things in my bag and meet you over at your place in less

than an hour, okay? I worry about you.

Do this to us. Don't do this.

Not now.

Oh, shit, this hurts, man.

I can't get a hold of myself.

I am going crazy.

You are going crazy, man. Stop.

Stop.

Leo, we need to talk.

Wait a second. Why don't you let me talk first?

You know, Paula, when we first got together, I thought I was doing you some

of favor.

I was going to give you a life you couldn't get on your own. And God knows

you're the most beautiful woman I've ever been with.

But somewhere along the way,

Things got screwed up.

I fell in love.

And then you said you loved me, and, well, nothing seemed to work out

Because, see, I couldn't figure how somebody as beautiful as you could fall

love with an ugly bastard like me.

I was always worried about whether some smooth -looking guy was going to come

walking along and give you what I couldn't.

Handsome face, educated mind.

And that's why I started pushing on you.

That's why I rode you.

I rode you every day from the day that movie first began.

Because I wanted you out there. And you were out there, Paula.

There was a lot of guys around you.

All of them could walk the walk and talk the talk.

But then, then that's when I first realized, the more I pulled on you, the

harder I was pushing you away.

Leo, I did something tonight.

So did I.

I spent some time with myself, and you know what?

I realized I'm not so bad after all.

I mean, I don't got to beg you to love me, and I'm certainly not going to wrap

you in any chains to keep you from running away.

You just got to live your life any way you want to, because after all,

sweetheart, it's the only life you got.

Hey, I need to talk to you.

I'm really concerned about Paula.

We were supposed to meet a couple hours ago at my house. She went over to Leo's

to tell him that she wasn't going to see him anymore, that she was going to come

by my pad, we were going to talk, work things out.

She's not there.

Phone's not answering. I don't know what to do.

They're gone.

They're gone? Let's call the cops.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

They went away. They went away. They went away. So, last flight to Venice.

To Venice?

What the fuck in Venice?

Leo, Leo. Come on. Leo left this for you. There.

A thousand fucking bucks.

Son of a bitch.

Okay.

Put it in a film in the can.

Okay, I can finish this without her.

This is going to be great. Wait until you see the dailies, Jake.

I'm telling you, she's going to be a star.
