[man 1] How do you answer a question?

[man 2] As you look at your life,

are you satisfied with what and where you are in your life?

What do you want to be different?

[man 1] I want to be free of my past.

I want to-- I want to...

[man 2] What comes to your mind?

What are your options?

[man 1] That's the problem.

What do I do? I...

I can't get on with my life until I can solve my past,

then I can move on.

[man 2] You have these nagging thoughts

that you did something terrible?

Has anybody ever supported those thoughts, anyone?

[man 2] No.

[man 1] So this is all in your mind?

[man 2] Yes.

There are some times at Mickey Ray's, man,

-when you have to be... -[clapping continuous]

Silence! Silence.

Because we're shooting some serious shit here too, man.

We're making "Nana."

Almost finished with "Nana Miami."

-[cheers and applause] -All right.

Since Film-- Since Film was too expensive for us,

and we video artists, as we like to call ourselves,

are going to regenerate the world

and pay for our own film videos.

You know what I mean?

Vidiots that we are.

Freaks of the light! Freaks of the light!

[all cheer]

Freaks!

Freaks that record our own image.

Freaks that record our own image, man.

Whoa! All right, all right.

You know, and that green card, huh?

That green card gets you to the back room.

That red card get you in here.

You sign your waivers at the door.

That blue card gives you access to the editing

and to all the other rooms, man.

And we got four live venues

going at all times here, brother.

The gold card! Well, man.

The gold card gets you in bed.

You're in the picture, brother.

You're in the picture--

Or sister, however it comes down.

Gold carders!

[whoops and applause]

Music!

[music resumes]

[inaudible]

[Mickey] I understand what it is.

I understand what it is,

but do you understand what it is?

That's what I'm trying--

That's all I'm trying to point out.

I understand, but do you understand?

Isn't that fucking simple?

Is that fucking simple or what? Am I going nuts here?

[inhales sharply and exhales]

So, anyway, in order--

Can we just... forget that. It's over.

It doesn't fucking matter what you think right now.

I know I fucked up. I'm saying I fucked up.

How could I listen to you tell me I didn't fuck up?

I fucked up, all right?

[woman] What do you want to do about it?

The fuck do I know?

-[both chuckle] -You think I know?

-[Matty] Oh! -Hey! Hey, hey, hey.

[Matty] How you doing, man?

-How'd the film go? -Which one?

[both laugh]

Flavor-of-the-month guy, huh?

-All right. -Who's that? Me?

The flavor-of-the-month guy?

-That's right. -You fucker, you.

-My star. -Hey, Annie.

-[Mickey] This is my star. -[Matty] You better fucking...

Get the fuck out of here with that!

Wait, wait, wait, wait. We're making a movie, man.

We're making a movie here. Keep me out of it, will you?

-I'm making a movie. -Get the fuck out of here.

-Come on, man! -He's been following me since I came in.

He's filming her, man. He's filming her.

And you know something? We're making a movie.

You want to be in the movie, great.

Otherwise, you got to stay away from us.

You got to stay away from us.

And you can't be the star of the movie either.

-Why's that? -You got to do everything I tell you, too.

-Yeah? -Because somebody else is the star.

I am a star.

[sultry music plays]

The truth, brother.

Godard says 24 frames a minute.

Or is it a second? It's a second, isn't it?

[Matty] Twenty-four frames a second.

-[Mickey] You sure? -[Matty] Yeah.

-It's the future is what it is. -What is she doing?

She's starring in my movie, man.

It's video, man.

[Matty] Yeah, video...

[Mickey] Video is the future.

Video is the future.

The star, baby. You could co-star with her.

Got a part for you in this picture.

You want to sign?

You're not going to be able to see her otherwise, really.

[indistinct chattering]

[cheers and applause]

[Annie] They are happy.

Everybody's happy.

This is good for you.

Matty is happy. Everybody is happy.

You think I love you?

I know you love me.

-You know? -I know you love me.

I know you love me when I touch you like this.

Everybody in the world can do that.

No one does it like me.

Yes, that.

Everybody can do that like you.

-No. -Yes.

-No. -Oh, yes.

[laughs] No.

I do that alone,

and I feel the same thing.

I don't need that.

[seductive music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

[laughs]

[Matty, whispering] I love you so much.

You want something?

I told you about Mickey, right?

The moment of awe.

So he's telling me about the moment of "uh."

Oh, my God.

He's called this prostitute up in the room.

And he's in a hotel.

And the doorman rings him up and says,

"There's a girl here to see you."

So he says, "Well, send her up."

Matty...

[Matty] She comes up to his room.

Matty...

[Matty] And she, uh...

she knocks on the door.

-Please listen. -And he's there.

Do you want to marry me because I was still pregnant?

Listen to me.

[sniffling]

Would you like to come in?

Would you like to...

[sniffles]

...would you like to have a drink?

Or would you just like to, uh,

give me a blow job right now?

Did you want to marry me because I was still pregnant?

Did you have an abortion?

Did you have an abortion?

I don't want my baby to have a father who was a junkie.

You understand that?

Who's a junkie?

Who are you talking about?

[laughs]

-You told me... -Did you have an abortion?

-You told me to have it. -Did you have an abortion?

Yes, but you told me to have an abortion.

It's yours!

You had an abortion?

What did it feel like, huh?

What did it feel like?

What did it feel like to have an abortion?

What did it feel like to have an abortion?

Why would you fucking cut my...?

[Annie gasps]

[glass clatters and smashes]

[grunts]

I wouldn't say that.

I wouldn't say that.

I would never say something like that!

What the fuck did you think I came down here for?

[tape rewinds]

[answering machine beeps]

[Matty] You fucking bitch!

[Matty, over recording] If you were any kind of woman,

you'd take a knife and cut that baby out of your stomach.

...fucking cut a baby out of your fucking guts for?

[Matty, over recording] You know what? Better yet...

I'll take a knife and cut it out for you, all right?

Who knows what kind of fucking diseased dicks

have been up inside your fucking cunt.

-[phone slams] -Fucking...

That ain't me. Annie...

[Matty, over recording] Yeah.

I heard about all the guys you've been fucking.

Come on!

[Matty, over recording] It's all over fucking Hollywood.

Come on. That ain't me, man. I was...

[Matty, over recording] Who are you even fucking?

Why don't you tell me who you've been fucking, you...?

Because it ain't my baby.

It ain't my baby, man.

Who the fuck knows who you've been fucking?

Just talking to a friend, you know? We were...

[Matty, over recording] Yeah, that's right.

...we were rehearsing.

You know, I was-- I was-- I was playing.

[Matty, over recording] What am I talking to you for?

It's a waste of my time.

Fuck you. Fuck the baby. Fuck everything.

I don't care if I ever see you again

the rest of my fucking life.

Do you understand me?

I don't care if I ever see you.

And fuck you.

[phone receiver slams over recording]

[dial tone buzzes]

[busy signal beeps]

-[festive dance music plays] -[Mickey] Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

There you go.

Oh, yeah.

Whoa.

Hey, keep it moving in here.

Just keep it going. Keep it going.

Kate! Kate!

Does this thing come down?

We have to load this from the top with her.

She can't be pulled up on this. Is that right?

-[woman] Right. -Okay, yeah.

Well, that's a problem.

So we got five cameras going in various places

on these big screens all around that you can see.

So we're like, you know,

we're racking the money in, coming in,

getting the people coming in, and then we--

You know, if they want to pay more,

they can be in the film themselves.

And we have live acts going all the time.

We can run silent here, and everybody can stop talking,

and we can shoot a picture over here,

because we're running...

Hey, Matt.

[Mickey] Ever see "Nana," the old French film?

-You all right? -Yeah, I'm all right.

-Hey, you seen Annie? -No, man.

Is this bar open?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you want?

[Mickey] This is a whole functioning, like, film place.

Something cold.

[Mickey] That's what we're selling.

That's the theme of the place,

and we're going to generate movies out of here.

We're going to have a big thing,

so you'd be lucky to get into the basement door.

Yeah, keep it fluid.

Don't make it too jumpy and, like, you know, too erratic.

Keep it flowing. It's looking good.

-It's looking good. -[woman] Erotic, not erratic.

Yeah, erotic, not erratic. That's good.

[woman] Could you start it from the top, please?

[dance music plays]

Yeah, I don't want this to look too much like a gong show here.

You know, I want this sexy and hot.

I'm getting high-paying high rollers in here, you know?

[indistinct chattering]

[man] We're not even talking! Fuck it!

Hey, hey, forget it! Forget it!

Cheating on my husband when you haven't taken your eyes

-off these fucking bosoms... -Oh, right!

Right, right, I chase-- That's what I do all day.

I fucking chase women, right? Right?

-I mean, touch them. Taste them. -I'm a fucking man!

I know, and you're fucking humiliating her...

-Bullshit! -...and every other woman...

-Bullshit! -Excuse me! Excuse me!

We're making film here!

This is all over the big screen here!

Time out! Time out!

I'm directing! This is my club!

And I want it quiet!

Now make this work-related.

Use it, use it, for God's sake.

Don't spew it all over here.

All right, come on over here. Come over here.

I got to get out of here.

-Recognize this guy, huh? -[Matty] Yeah.

[Mickey] Ha! Matty, the movie star.

Couldn't keep him out of the frame.

You going to be in the movie?

Yeah, I'm going to be in this movie.

[Mickey] Well, let's ask the editor.

[laughs] You know what I mean?

No, no, no, he's fantastic, he's fantastic.

I'm glad to have him onboard. One point, 25,000 in the club.

One point for the movie, 50,000.

Seventy-five, you can be on the boat.

Hundred thousand, I'll put you in the movie.

Think it over, Pete. I got a long list.

Let me know.

-Oh, man. -[Matty] Hey.

Where's Annie?

[Mickey] How the fuck would I know?

I left her with you.

Well, she's the star of your movie.

How can you be making the movie without Annie?

I left her with you.

Where is she?

[Matty] Let me ask you a question.

You sleeping with her?

Which would make you feel worse?

If I say yes or no?

[whispering] Are you fucking her?

[Mickey laughs]

No, I'm fucking you.

[both laugh]

No, I'm fucking you.

What do you mean, am I fucking her?

Come on, give me a fucking answer.

Come on.

Did you fuck her?

-Come on. -Hey, listen to me.

Listen to me, it's not a question of did I--

-Did you fuck her? -It's not a question of did I?

It's, do I remember?

But more importantly...

do you fucking remember?

-Huh? -[laughs]

Think on it.

-Let's go for a drive. -Don't be pulling on me.

Come on, let's go for a ride. Let's go for a ride.

-You got wheels? -Yeah, man. Look at this.

-I got a new one. -Okay, cool. I'll drive.

Let's go.

Come on.

[Matty] I wanted that fucking baby, man.

That baby meant that we had something that was real,

that we weren't just fucking around, you know?

That we were capable of creating something that was...

Why would I-- Why would I--

I wouldn't do that, man.

Annie's the one, man.

I mean, you ever been married?

Both of us.

We've never been married.

Both of our parents were married one time.

Both of us were the only child in the whole family.

[sniffles]

I'm telling you, man, it's like parallel lives.

Annie's...

She's like the other half of me, you dig what I'm saying?

She's going to come back.

She's going to come back. She has to.

Fuck.

You ever think that in this world,

there's somebody out there that's a perfect match for you?

That's what Annie is for me, man.

It's just bullshit.

It's just bullshit, man.

Why would I tell her that I didn't want to have the kid?

Why would I...?

I wouldn't say that.

[knock on door]

-No. -You get it.

I'm not getting up. You go get it.

-Oh, no. -[knocking persists]

[sighs]

[Matty] Come on, open up!

Who is it?

[Matty] Come on!

-Hey! -[door closes]

-[woman] I'm Jasmine. -[Matty] Jasmine.

-[Jasmine] Nice to meet you. -[Matty] Nice to meet you.

-[indistinct chattering] -[Mickey] Gold card.

Gold card, all right. All right.

You dance?

Hey, you got any beer? How you doing?

-Daphne. -[Matty] Daphne?

My pleasure.

And she wouldn't dance in the club, man.

That was when I first started. I remember-- I never forget...

This thing woofs, you know.

This is sort of like, you know, some chicks have poodles.

-They walk their dogs. -It's a party, all right.

[sniffs]

[Jasmine] Animal. Direct to God.

[Mickey] Yeah, a director is born.

You know...

Ahem, put that fucking camera away.

No, man, I'm looking at you guys...

Oh, could you start that again? I had a little boggle.

[laughs]

A little boggle.

[Jasmine] Mmm. Do you like this?

[Mickey laughs]

[Matty] You girls done this before?

[laughs]

[Mickey] Oh, man. Go ahead.

Keep rubbing, baby. Rub it, baby.

All right, now make your nipples hard.

Make your nipples hard. That's good. Oh, look at that.

I didn't know you had that. Wow.

Huh.

Experience how beautiful it is, man.

Experience how beautiful it is.

That's sweet.

That's really sweet.

-Isn't that beautiful? -Wow.

[Mickey] Spank her, man. Give her a little spank.

Give her a little spank. Come on. Yeah. Make it pink.

Make it pink. Come on, let's make it pink.

Give it to her. Come on, slap her. Come on.

-Come on. -[Daphne laughs]

[Mickey] Come on, a little bit more.

Come on. Come on. There you go. All right.

Say something. Say, "Fuck me, baby."

-Or say something-- -[both] Fuck me, baby!

Fuck me, baby. Say...

Fuck, shit, cocksucker, motherfucker!

I feel like I'm in a vampire movie.

[all laugh]

[Mickey] A vampire movie, eh?

Hey, man, you're pulling my hair.

Yeah, we know that.

Hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, slow down.

A man saying slow down.

-[Jasmine laughs] -Okay.

Let me see this. Let me see this.

Positioning is hard. Let me see.

Excuse me a second. Arch your back.

Arch your back. Arch your back. Arch your back.

This way. Now, push up. Push up. Push up.

There you go. Let me see that.

That's incredible.

Wait a second.

Where's my fucking camera?

Okay, I...

[sultry music playing]

Ooh. Oh.

[laughs]

Sweetheart, what's wrong?

Hmm?

What's wrong? You don't want to party?

Come on.

You need to relax. Come on.

What's wrong with you?

Come on, I can relax you.

[sultry singing]

What'd you stop for?

Will you answer me, please?

[retro jingle music plays]

[Mickey] Bigfoot? Bigfoot or what, huh?

Oh, that's very nice.

You don't mind, do you, if I just get

one fucking shot of you in those glasses?

[indistinct chattering]

[crowd whooping and cheering]

Am I live out there? Am I hooked up back here?

I hope to hell I'm hooked up back there!

Am I hooked up back there?

I can't get out of these French novels, man.

These French novelists.

These playwrights, these frauds.

All right, so here we are.

Get a close-up.

Hey, is this camera hooked up?

-[woman] Yes! -Am I live?

-[woman] Yes! -Am I live out there?

-[inaudible] -[crowd cheering]

[Mickey] "Nana's" almost finished.

The balcony is about to begin.

[man] Fantasy one, take two.

[Mickey] Yeah, that's real.

This over here, this is jive, man.

This is symbolic jive.

-[man] Whoo! -[Mickey] Hit it hard.

Hit it loud. Go for it.

[sizzles]

[thunder rumbling]

[sniffs]

[Matty] Oh, no.

[Annie] It was a boy, Matty.

It was a boy, Matty.

[Mickey cackling]

[waitress] Are you okay? Can I get you something?

May I have a cup of coffee?

[waitress] I loved you in your last movie.

You're one of my favorite actors.

Is your name Annie?

That's my name.

[laughs]

I'm so nervous.

I never get nervous.

[Annie] You made me have the abortion.

You made me have the abortion.

[Annie's voice] You made me.

It was a boy, Matty.

[in normal voice] Hey.

Hey.

So, what are you doing in Miami?

I came here to meet you.

Want to get out of here?

[Matty] When do you get off?

[Annie] Now.

[Matty] Shall we?

[Annie] Let's go.

-[seagulls squawking] -[waves crashing]

[Mickey] "I can't help it.

It's a fixation."

[laughs]

None of this is real.

Real, real, real.

[Matty] Hey, hey, hey!

Mickey, Mickey, Mickey!

[Mickey] Ah-ha.

[Matty] Annie, Annie, Annie.

Meet the new Annie.

-Annie? -[Matty] Annie, Annie.

-[Annie] That's my name. -Annie, how are you?

-Hey! -Oh, you're doing great, huh?

* Who's the leader of the club That's made for you and me? *

[Mickey] All right, brother. Whoo.

You like to watch yourself in dailies.

You know, most directors don't like their actors

watching themselves in dailies. I think that's bullshit.

You got to see the good with the bad, right?

See the good with the bad. Know when your acting is shit.

Know when you're faking it. Know when you're fucking lying.

-You want to be in pictures? -[Annie] Hey.

[Mickey] You want to be in pictures, come on.

Everybody wants to be in pictures, huh?

-Don't they? -[Annie] Do they?

-[Mickey] Sure. -[Annie] Really? Hey.

[Mickey] You want to be an actress?

[Annie] I want to be an actress?

[Mickey] You want to be an actress?

[Annie] Yeah.

[Mickey] Oh, you're beautiful.

-Mmm, look at you. -[Annie laughs]

[Mickey] Look at you. All right, huh?

[Annie giggles]

-[Mickey] You're pretty. -[Annie] Thank you.

[Mickey] I'm sure everybody tells you that, huh?

-[Annie laughs] -[Mickey] Huh? Yeah.

Very, very pretty.

Very nice.

Hey. Oh, yeah.

You got that spark.

Hey, Matt.

Matty?

I got a terrific idea.

Listen, he's wasted. Come with me.

You want to smoke a joint?

Sure, I'll smoke a joint.

[Mickey] Very cool. Let's go.

[Annie] Wow.

This stuff is cool.

[Mickey] Fucking playground, huh?

What kind of movies do you do?

Wow.

-Good ones. -Yeah?

Put this on.

-Put this on? -Yeah.

You said you never wanted to be an actress, huh?

-Well... -Sit down.

I did a play in high school.

[Mickey] Yeah? How were you?

I think I was very, very good.

-How's that? -[Mickey] You're going to scare

the fucking shit out of him.

-Fucking terrific. -Really?

[Mickey] It's fucking great.

-"Annie." -Annie.

[Mickey] You look just like Annie, baby.

-I am Annie. -[Mickey] No, no, no.

You're Annie Two. There's an Annie One.

-Annie One? -[Mickey] Yeah.

Anyway...

[Annie] Do I look okay?

[Mickey] You look fabulous.

[Annie giggles]

[Mickey] You look really good.

Do you like him a lot?

Do I like Matty?

-[Mickey] Yeah. -Yeah.

[Mickey] You in love with him?

Huh?

Maybe. I don't know.

-I just met him. -[Mickey] Yeah?

-Okay, go wow him, baby. -Think he's going to like it?

[Mickey] You go wow him, okay?

[Annie] Okay.

[Mickey] Knock him dead.

[Annie] Matty.

Matty.

[Mickey] We got another Annie in this film. You know that.

Do you like it?

Lay down.

Now listen, baby, you don't need that.

You don't need that. You don't need that.

It's okay. It's okay, yeah.

Be the little waitress that you are.

[Annie] Hey.

Why did you leave me?

-Come on. -[Annie] Hey.

[Matty] I missed you so much.

Hey, it's okay.

[Matty] I missed you so much.

Oh, baby.

Why did you leave me?

[Annie] I'm right here.

Hey.

[Mickey] It's time for us to shoot the scene.

All that shit you got on tape and this.

We're just going to do it. We're going to do it right now.

So just, you know, just stay and hang in there.

It's going to be fucking great.

[Annie] Do you believe in fate?

When you walked into that restaurant...

I just got all these shivers, you know?

You know, like my whole body just shook.

I just... I just knew that something really, really,

really big was about to happen.

I don't know, I thought maybe...

maybe I wasn't going to be alone anymore.

[Matty, whispering] You'll never be alone again.

[Annie, giggling] Are you acting?

[Matty] I ain't acting.

What the fuck is acting anyway, man?

I don't know the difference between life and acting anymore.

You know what I'm saying?

It's all started to blur together.

It's just a big blur.

[Annie 1] Matty...

listen to me.

You want to marry me because I was still pregnant?

[camera shutters click]

I don't want my baby

to have a father who is a junkie.

All right, hey.

-[claps hands] -Hey.

You're in the movie, right?

I don't want to waste a lot of film, you know,

if you're not in the movie.

This is really fucking important to me.

Are you going to be in it or not?

-[whispering] Oh, man. -[Mickey] What?

Where's Annie?

[Mickey] We're going to find her. We're going to find her for you.

Oh, there she is. She's right there, man.

She's right there.

Hey, it's okay.

You didn't have an abortion, right?

I can do whatever I want.

[thunder crashes]

[applause]

[Matty] My name is Matty,

and I'm an alcoholic and a drug addict.

[group] Hi, Matty.

[Matty] It's been the longest year of my life.

[clears throat]

Um...

The wonderful thing about being an actor is you get a script,

and you know what it is that you're supposed to say.

And, uh...

well, it's kind of hard for me to-to-to tell you my story,

because I don't know where it began.

I suppose it started when I was 15 years old...

with my grandmother.

She used to keep a big bottle of vodka in her closet,

and I'd, uh...

-[chuckles] -[all laugh]

...I'd sneak in there and watch her drink it

and wonder what her fascination with that bottle was.

There's lots of opportunities to...

-Thanks. -[applause]

...use...

forbidden illegal substances

on motion picture movie sets.

And so, because of their availability and...

acceptance of, you know, that it was sort of...

something that was okay to do, I started to do that myself.

And I didn't think I ever recognized it as a problem...

until I started finding it hard to look at myself in the mirror.

[bell tolling distantly]

I didn't know who I was looking at anymore.

So how'd it go?

Huh?

-Where's the water? -[mutters]

Oh!

-Hmm? -I'll go out.

I'll go back out. I'll go get it.

Let me go back.

You only bought stuff for yourself.

-Well, I forgot. I'm sorry. -Huh?

I'll go back out and get it now.

All right.

Stay here first.

-Oh, jeez... -[laughs]

Well, get the coin or not?

-You did? -What, they tell you everything?

No, not everything.

How do you know that I got a coin?

Well, it's one year, right?

-Here you go. -Oh. That's it?

Yeah. My Olympic medal.

Wow. That's one year sober, huh?

Like this.

-[teeth clack] -It's real, right?

Yeah.

-That's really cool. -"To thine own self be true."

[laughs]

So... you proud of yourself?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm proud, yeah.

So...

you going to be good when I'm gone?

Where are you going?

You know, I got to go on this trip tomorrow

for three days.

You going to be good?

-Three days? -Mm-hm.

[inhales and sighs]

-Hmm? -Of course, I'll be good.

-Promise? -Yeah, I promise.

-[police sirens wailing] -[traffic ambience]

[buzzer buzzing]

[car horns blaring]

[Matty] Hey, did you ever think about seeing a psychiatrist?

Maybe after I'm through with your therapy.

I mean, you got an office down here in a bunker.

I mean, it's like...

I think I could find Hitler hiding around here some place.

[video recorder beeps]

[psychiatrist] Have you ever declared your love to her?

[Matty] Yeah.

Yeah, it's funny that I should send her letters

and try to...

I've tried to let her off the hook

so that she doesn't have to feel responsible

for the things that she did.

We can get on...

with our life, but she, uh...

[psychiatrist] How old is your mother?

She doesn't write me back.

She doesn't call me. She doesn't...

She's not willing to...

[psychiatrist] So she's like Annie?

Well, now that you mention it, yeah, she is a bit like her.

[psychiatrist] How old is your mom?

-Sixty-four. -[psychiatrist] Have you had thoughts

about the day when she would die?

Absolutely. [laughs]

[psychiatrist] How do you feel about that?

Well, I feel like it would be a relief

that she'd finally be off the hook.

[psychiatrist] What was different

about your relationship with Annie

than your relationship with Susan?

Susan doesn't get high.

Susan doesn't drink. Susan doesn't...

Susan doesn't, uh...

She's like a health food store.

[laughs]

She's like a health food store.

[psychiatrist] So, what do you think about that?

It's healthy.

[psychiatrist] So you don't think very much of it?

No.

[psychiatrist] You dismiss her?

I don't dismiss her. I-I appreciate her.

[psychiatrist] But you're sarcastic when you refer to her.

Yeah.

[psychiatrist] So there's a part of you that wants to

bury Annie once and for all?

Yeah.

[psychiatrist] So, how do you want to do that?

-[thunder rumbles] -[clears throat]

I want her to say goodbye. I want her to...

I want her to...

cut that cord.

I want her to cut that umbilical cord.

[psychiatrist] So she's got to do it, not you?

You're the passive one here.

Well, yeah.

-[psychiatrist] Huh? -Yeah.

[psychiatrist] Do you consider yourself a passive person?

A baby doesn't cut his own cord, does he?

[psychiatrist] You're the baby? You're the helpless baby?

-Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. -[psychiatrist] Yeah?

So you don't want to take charge of your life?

-I can't... -[psychiatrist] "I can't"?

I don't have the tools to cut the cord.

[psychiatrist] But Annie has the tools?

Hmm?

[cooing]

[baby cooing]

[gasps and coughs]

[gasps]

What is it?

[gasps and pants]

What is it?

[breathing heavily]

Honey, what is it?

No.

You know, when I was a little girl,

I also had bad dreams.

And my grandmother took me to church.

It was really scary, because it was really dark.

And there was a priest with a long beard.

He really scared me.

And he put his big, black robe around me, you know.

And he read the Bible to me, and all my bad dreams went away.

You think I should go to see a priest?

Well, you could tell me. Maybe it'll help.

Hmm?

Tell me.

Tell me.

You can tell me.

Yes, you can.

Please, Matty.

Tell me.

Come on.

[psychiatrist] Why did you come?

Why are you here?

[Matty clears throat]

[Matty] Because I'm having bad dreams.

[psychiatrist] What are those dreams like?

[Matty] They're dreams of death.

Dreams of...

Very violent dreams.

[psychiatrist] When you say "violent,"

in what way are they violent?

I say and do things in the dreams

that...

I know I wouldn't do,

that I know I'm not capable of doing.

But...

[clears throat] They're so--

They're so real and so vivid that...

they feel as though I've actually done them.

[psychiatrist] Can you give me an example

of a dream like that?

What's the last dream you've had that was upsetting?

That Annie was pregnant,

and I...

[clears throat]

...that I...

took my hands and...

choked her to death.

[chuckles]

[psychiatrist] So in your mind, you're a murderer.

No. Not in my mind. In my nightmares.

[psychiatrist] In your nightmares.

If I could just speak to her on the phone--

If you could get her to call here--

[psychiatrist] She doesn't want to speak to you.

-Why? -[psychiatrist] I don't know why,

but it's obvious she doesn't want to speak to you.

So she's out of your life.

But you're hanging on to this painful thought.

Not only are you missing her and feeling the pain of that,

but you're going yourself one better.

You're telling yourself that you killed her.

Maybe that's what I want to do.

Maybe that's--

[psychiatrist] That's a nice intellectualization.

That way I could get her out of my life.

If I could just kill the bitch and get her out of my life,

then she'd be gone.

[psychiatrist] You say you already think you did.

Where are you going to find Annie?

Miami.

[psychiatrist] Is that a question or an answer?

Miami is an answer.

Maybe she's still down there.

[psychiatrist] What prevents you from going to Miami?

Nothing.

[Matty] What do you mean, 90% of my work is seen on television?

Yeah, after it comes out on video.

After it comes out in ABC, NBC, CBS bullshit.

I'm really flattered that he came to me first,

but I don't give a shit.

When was the last time one of his movies made any money?

And now you're trying to push me right into a TV series

so I don't have a career.

Look at the people I've worked with.

Have I ever cared about money?

Why would I start being interested in money

at this point in my life?

Seventy-five grand a week?

Just a minute. What?

Did he say 75,000?

[Matty] He said $75,000 a week.

Wow, that's a lot of money.

Susan thinks that $75,000 a week is a lot of money.

Well, $75,000 is a lot of money

if I wanted to be a television actor, but...

Yeah, thank you.

Tell him that.

-[Susan] Yeah? What'd he say? -Schmuck.

[Susan] What'd he say, Matty?

It's not really any of your business.

It's... it's, just, you know...

What do you mean?

What do you mean, it's none of my business?

What is this? How much did this painting cost?

-Why? -Let's talk about this.

Let's not talk about that, because this is your business

and that is my business.

Oh, yeah? And you're talking about my business?

What is this, a basin or something

that people used to wash their faces in? Who cares?

-[Susan] Oh, great. Yeah. -I mean, come on.

Thanks.

No, come on, what did he say?

He said, he said, he said...

He said to mind your own fucking business.

You got to go back to work sometime.

I know I have to go back to work sometime!

I know that. I know that.

You don't think I know that?

You don't think that I know

that I have to go back to work sometime?

[car horn honks]

-[Matty] Come on, let's go. -[Susan] Don't be like this.

[Matty] Don't be like what?

Stop treating me like you're some prison warden.

-Come on. -It's not that. It's just...

I don't want to leave you like this.

I can take care of myself three days while you're gone.

You'll miss the plane. You said it yourself.

Come on, man. Let's go. You said 20 minutes.

You're going to make her late. Come on, fucking dickhead.

Wait a minute, wait. Fucking son of a bitch.

Wait a minute, Susan.

Yeah?

Bye.

[zills jingling rhythmically]

[Mickey laughing]

[Mickey] This is fucking cool.

[seagulls squawking]

[Mickey laughing]

Oh, yeah.

Go for it, baby. Go for it.

You know what'd really be cool?

If you guys had some fans.

If you had some fans, you could fan me.

You know what I mean?

[laughs]

Oh, shit!

Oh, man.

Mickey.

Mickey!

Hey, man.

Matty, man, what the fuck are you doing here?

You look great, man. Are you okay?

Yeah, I feel great.

What are you backpedaling for, man?

-I need to talk to you. -Huh?

I need to talk. I don't want to talk in front of those...

I got to see Annie.

No, you don't have to fucking see Annie, man.

Annie's living in Mexico City, man.

She's got an old man. She's been there a year.

She's doing fine, man. You just go back to New York.

You don't want to fucking be looking for trouble down here.

-Okay? Just go home. -[sighs]

I got to see Annie. I got to make my peace.

[Mickey] Why don't you just let it go, man?

I got to see her. I got to talk to her.

I got to...

That chick was kicking the shit out of you, brother.

I got to make my amends.

I can't get on with my life until I seal this thing up.

Oh, you fucking AA people and your fucking amends, man.

-Just let the fucking thing go. -No.

No, I ain't gonna let it go!

Don't give me that AA shit, man.

You don't know what I've been through, man.

I've been-- I've been crying for two years.

My gut's coming out of my stomach.

-Please, man. -All right, all right.

We were together for five years,

and she just walked out of my life.

Hey, hey, hey. I'll make some calls.

That's all I fucking can do.

And I'm not promising you nothing.

-Please, Mick. -All right, all right.

I'll make some calls.

Take it easy down here, will you?

You're looking great.

You look good straight, man.

[zills jingling rhythmically]

That's fucking really nice.

[Matty] You want something?

I told you about Mickey, right?

The, uh, moment of awe.

The moment of awe.

[cupboard door opens]

[inhales sharply]

[exhales sharply]

[sniffs]

[bottle clatters]

[sighs]

Whew.

[laughs]

Whoo!

[clears throat]

Yeah, baby.

Mmm.

[Matty] She comes up to me...

and she, uh...

she knocks on the door.

And he's there.

[Annie] You want to marry me because I was still pregnant?

Listen to me.

[Matty] Would you like to come in?

Would you like to, uh...

[lighter flicks and scratches]

[sniffs]

...would you like to have a drink,

or would you just like to give me a blow job right now?

[Annie] Did you want to marry me because I was still pregnant?

[Matty] Did you have an abortion?

Did you have an abortion?

[Annie] I don't want my baby

to have a father who is a junkie.

You understand that?

[Matty] Who's the junkie?

Who are you talking about?

[Annie scoffs]

You told me--

[Matty] Did you have an abortion?

-Did you have an abortion? -[Annie] Yes.

But you told me to have an abortion.

It's yours.

[Matty] You had an abortion?

What did it feel like, huh?

What did it feel like?

What did it feel like to have an abortion?

What did it feel like? An abortion?

Why would you fucking cut my...?

[panting]

[heavy breathing]

Ah!

[Annie moans]

[both panting and moaning]

[Matty grunts]

[Mickey] Yeah, that's it.

That's it.

-Go for it, Matty. -[screams]

[Mickey] Oh, yeah. Go for it.

That's pure, man.

That's pure.

Yeah.

-[sighs] -[dials]

[phone line ringing]

[sniffles]

[Matty] Yeah, yeah, bonjour.

Bonjour. Hello, Rene. It's Matty.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry to be calling you so late,

but, uh, did Annie--

Did Annie go home to see--

Did Annie go home?

Did she... um,

"returnay," "returnay" au France?

Did she go home?

Home. Did-- Did she--?

No, no, I don't.

You see, I don't know where she is.

That's why-- That's why I'm calling you.

I was hoping that maybe you could tell me where she was.

No...

Hey, Maggie.

No, no, no, it's Matt.

Yeah, how are you doing, baby? Listen, I need to talk to Annie.

You haven't seen her, have you?

I mean, I've been calling all over the place

trying to find her, and I thought--

You know, I thought maybe that you would know.

What?

No, no, no, no.

No.

No, forget the "I got a lot of nerve" shit.

Do you know where she is or don't you?

Fuck you, man! You know who this is!

You fucking shot the pictures for Premiere!

Now, you were the last person to see her.

Where the fuck is she? Huh?

No, fuck you, you fucking cocksucker!

Where the fuck is she?

Tell me where the fuck she is, or I'm going to come over there

and stick my fist all the way up your ass!

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

Where are you?

Hi, baby. Ow.

[Susan] What do you mean, "Hi, baby"?

Where the hell are you?

Matty, where are you?

I come home, and there's nobody here,

not even a note.

Where are you?

I-I am in Miami.

In Miami?

In Miami. Have you been drinking?

Have you been drinking?

You've been drinking. Oh, okay.

No.

[Susan] Don't lie to me. Come on.

Don't lie to me. Don't do this to me.

[laughing] I'm not lying. I just...

Oh, God, you're so fucking drunk.

You're so fucking drunk.

Why'd you do that? Come on, why?

I'm pregnant.

What do you say to that?

I'm going to come down, okay?

[Matty] Uh-uh. No.

I'm going to come home tonight. I'll be home.

The guy, the concierge, he's making the reservations,

and I'm going to be home tonight.

So there's no reason for you to come down.

[Susan] Which plane are you taking?

I don't know, you know, the guy is making the reservations.

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

[Susan] All right, do you promise?

I promise. I promise.

Just...

Just be cool. Just stay there.

[Susan] I miss you so much.

[Susan chuckles]

-I love you. -I love you too.

I really do.

-Hey! You fucking-- -Hey!

-[door closes] -How the fuck are you?

You fucking nut.

Listen, how are you doing?

When are you going to meet me later?

I got to get going. People are beeping me all night.

What do you got?

What do I always got?

-You all right? -Yeah, man.

Good.

This ain't talcum powder shit, is it?

Look, it's all rocks. Give me the money.

You don't trust me?

-Huh? -Here you go.

Hey, I saw that movie you were in.

-You played a cop. -Yeah?

Where you fucking killed all the coke addicts.

Hey, I couldn't fucking believe it.

-Boom, boom, boom! -You want a drink?

No, I don't drink. I want you to show me

how you fucking killed all those fucking guys.

Bam, bam, fucking shooting spics...

[Matty] That's where she's at.

[psychiatrist] How would she have died?

[Matty] That's one of my nightmares.

[psychiatrist] What is the nightmare?

[Matty] That I'm responsible.

[psychiatrist] In what way are you responsible in the dream?

[Matty] That I took my hands and...

and I choked her.

All right, listen, I'll see you later, okay?

-Okay. -You all right?

Yeah. Thanks.

[sniffing]

[Mickey] That's it.

That's it.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah. That's it.

Wow. That's pure, man.

[screams]

[Mickey] That's pure.

[Matty grunts]

Is he looking for me?

Ugh.

-[laughs] -[Mickey] This is fucking pathetic, man.

She's here.

I got her from Acapulco, man. She's here.

[breathing heavily]

You're alive.

[laughs]

I missed you so much.

Where you been, baby?

A year and a half and...

you never even called me.

Don't you care about me, baby?

[Annie] You look like a piece of shit.

I believed so much you stopped drinking.

[Matty] I'm not drinking. I just...

-Oh, I see. -...I'm not drinking.

This was...

[sighs]

Tell her, Mickey.

Tell her. I was straight, man.

I... I was straight, man.

I wasn't drinking.

The whole time I was gone, I wasn't drinking!

I was missing you,

and you fucking wouldn't come to me!

I'll lose my time...

Say something, man!

Say something!

[Mickey] Hey, man, we're getting out of here.

I'm taking her to the airport. Do whatever the fuck you want.

[Annie] I don't want to lose my time.

[Mickey] She's back. Back to Acapulco.

[sobs softly]

[Annie 2] And I just lie down and I just look up

and see all the stars.

[seagulls squawking]

[Matty] The roof opens?

[Annie 2] Well, no, you know, like a sunroof.

But it doesn't close,

so when it rains it's kind of shitty.

[laughs] You know what I'm saying?

Where is it?

Oh! Oh!

I'm sorry!

Are you okay?

[indistinct chattering]

Right. Whoa!

[giggles]

[waves lapping]

You want a kiss?

[both laugh]

-[Mickey] Oh, you're beautiful. -[Annie] Thank you.

[Mickey] I'm sure everybody tells you that.

Ooh, yeah. You got that spark.

-You want to smoke a joint? -[Annie] Sure, I'll smoke a joint.

[Mickey] Okay, cool. Let's go.

-Go right out that way. -Where are we going?

[Mickey] Go right out there. Come on. How about candle wax?

Ever had candle wax dripped on you?

-That's pretty harmless. -No.

[Mickey] I never heard of anybody dying

from candle wax dripped on them.

-How's that? -[Mickey] You're gonna scare

the fucking shit out of him, fucking terrific.

-Really? -It's fucking great.

-"Annie." -Annie.

[Mickey] You look just like Annie, baby.

[Annie] I am Annie.

[Mickey] No, no, no, you're Annie Two.

There's an Annie One.

-[Annie] Annie One? -[Mickey] Yeah.

Do your lips like... a little like that.

-No, not like that. -[laughs] Excuse me.

Lick your lips, like, casually.

-Okay. -Just casually.

Look at my crotch and lick your lips.

-No. No. -Come on.

You could do that. I'm not touching you.

-Just do it. -No.

[Mickey] Let's walk and talk.

Let's go in there and fucking blow his mind.

-You ready? -[Annie] Should I leave this?

[Mickey] You like him a lot? Huh?

Maybe. I don't know. I just met him.

[Mickey] Hmm?

Okay, go wow him, baby.

You go wow him, okay?

[Annie] Okay.

[Mickey] Knock him dead.

[Annie] Matty.

Matty.

Do you like it?

[Mickey] Wait a second, baby. You don't need that.

You don't need that. You don't need that.

It's okay, it's okay. Yeah.

Be the little waitress that you are, baby.

Yeah.

[Annie] Matty...

Why did you leave me?

-I was just in the next room. -Why did you go?

[Annie] I'm right here.

Hey. Hey.

Oh!

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

What's going on?

Hey.

[Mickey] Tell her, man.

You didn't have an abortion, right?

[Annie] It's not impor...

Is this acting? What are you doing?

Matty.

[Mickey] Shh. Shh.

Just go with it, baby. Just go with it.

Tell her.

Tell her, Matty.

-Tell her. -[Matty] Where's the baby?

[Annie] Matty, you're hurting me!

-[Matty] Where's the baby? -Ah! No! Stop it!

Help! Help!

-[Annie gagging] -[Matty] Tell me.

-Tell me! -[sobbing] Ah!

[Matty] Ah!

[gags]

[both gasp]

Ah!

[Annie gasping]

[Matty] No.

[groans]

[breathing heavily]

No.

No.

[Mickey] Pretty emotional about that take, huh?

Did you feel that one, did you, huh?

Best fucking work you've ever done.

It's too bad you don't fucking remember it.

Too bad you're a fucking coked-up drunk.

You don't fucking remember your best performance.

[TV turns off]

It's hard for me to fucking forget it.

What kind of piece of shit are you?

What kind of fucking piece of filth are you?

You big fucking movie star.

Come down and shit all over my parade, brother.

Shit on my little fucking parade, you big,

privileged fucking movie star.

Huh?

You killed that chick that fucking night.

And I watched you.

And I don't want to fucking cop out on this and say,

"Hey, man, you know..."

but I didn't know she was fucking dead

until I touched her fucking face.

And you couldn't possibly have known she was dead,

because you were in some fucking blackout, man.

I got rid of her. I got rid of her.

When are you going to fucking take responsibility?

Look in the fucking mirror at a fucking murderer

and grow up, motherfucker.

Grow up real fucking quick,

because you ain't going to fucking live very long,

because this is my life too!

You piece of shit!

Fuck you and the fucking horse you rode in on.

You get out of my fucking life. You get out of my fucking life.

Out of my fucking mind. Out of my fucking memory.

Get out of here!

Out! Out!

Out! Out! Out!

Out! Out!

-Get out of here! -[panting and groaning]

Fucking live with it, motherfucker!

Live with it! Grow up, you cocksucker!

Learn to live with it!

You piece of filth.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you!

[sultry singing]

[Matty] I answered your question.

[psychiatrist] As you look at your life,

are you satisfied with what and where you are in life?

What do you want to be different?

[Matty] I want to be free from my past.

I want to-- I want to...

[psychiatrist] What comes to your mind? What are your options?

Matty!

[panting]

What are you doing?

What are you doing here? I told you to stay in New York!

Get out of here! What are you doing here?

-I told you not to come here! -Stop it!

I don't love you.

[waves lapping]

I don't love you. I don't love you, okay?

-Do you think you love me? -I love you.

Do you think you love me? You don't even know me.

You don't know anything about me!

[both grunt]

Listen to me. Listen.

Listen to me!

I'm a murderer.

I'm a murderer.

You hear me?

I'm a murderer! Do you hear me?

I killed somebody!

You think you love me?

Well, I don't even love myself.

So how can you love me?

Do you understand?

I took a 17-year-old by the throat,

and I choked the life out of her.

Do you understand?

Now, if you love me, you'll let me go.

Let me go.

Get out of here!

Go home!

Don't! Don't do that!

Don't!

Matty!

Matty!

[sobbing]

Matty!

Matty!
