Hi, I'm Margaret Ahlstrom.

Torn is Pendulum Pictures' first release.

It rocks.

Get ready.

Be torn.

Yes? Hello?

Okay.

I want you to open it.

Now play it.

Now dance for me.

Okay.

Yeah, baby.

And that's a cut.

How was that for you, Brad? Looks great.

All right, people, that's a wrap. Thank you very much.

Do you think I'll get an Oscar?

Yeah, right.

You can have this Oscar any time.

I want a meal, not a snack.

Hello, gorgeous.

Sleep well?

Yes, you.

How's your book coming along?

Okay, I guess.

Any plans for tonight?

I'm going to pick something at home.

How's your day?

Well, it's not easy with all these new video clips.

Got the music labels crawling up my ass.

But we'll manage.

So, uh, what time are you coming home?

Should be home early.

Okay. See ya.

What the fuck are you doing, man? I leave you alone for a few minutes and

a sudden you're the fucking director and you reshoot the entire scene?

Look, man, you might be the director, but this is a team effort. This was our

concept. Remember?

Yeah, I bet you put all the nudity back in it, didn't you?

Hey, it's not for the Disney Channel.

No, and it's not for the porno channel either.

Don't be such a pussy, Kevin. Just because you're doing Natasha and you

want the whole world drooling over her ass, deal with it, my friend.

Look, I'm dealing with this video on a professional basis.

You just want to get your jollies off with Natasha because we'll never get to

use any of your footage in the final video.

Maybe yes, maybe no.

First cut will get the label's attention.

You're an asshole.

Hey, I'm doing Natasha a favor. When this clip hits the air, every artist,

producer, and label intel will be crimping in her jeans for her.

So get over it, lover boy.

Okay, Brad, let's see the playback so I can see that my partner's concocted.

Hello, gorgeous.

How's the love of my life doing today?

Oh, hi, Jerry.

You say that to all your writers, don't you?

Well, actually, no. I only say that to my heterosexual lady writers.

Hey, that sounds like sexual harassment.

I'll give you sexual harassment.

Is this a business call, or do I have to hang up on you again?

You know, it's funny. Everybody seems to like a piece of ass, but nobody seems

to like a smart ass.

Stop it. You're starting to sound like Paul.

Did you read my latest draft?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, hold on.

Yeah, what?

I don't have time for this. Not right now. Okay?

No, please.

Forget it. Some other time. Yeah.

Sorry.

You know, I remember when you started working here, taking pictures of our

jackets. Cut the crap, Jerry.

I still take great pictures.

What's your point?

Look, the point is, it's okay.

It's just that it lacks... Look, your writing, it's clinical. I mean, you're

standing on the sidelines without committing yourself.

Okay? You still there?

Yeah, I'm still here.

I'm just thinking.

When you write about love...

You have to write about the deep -seated feeling of love in order to project it

onto the pages.

And the same is true for the relationships.

And even the sex and how you detail it in the book.

I mean, your prose are brilliant, Kate.

They really are.

But how are you going to get anybody to believe it if you're not feeling it?

And how are they going to get absorbed in the characters?

Yeah, you're right.

I don't know. I'll work it out somehow.

Is it possible for you to give me a couple more weeks?

Well, I'm under the gun here. I mean, we already have the press release out and

the publicity, so... I don't know. I'll do my best. I'll work it out somehow,

okay?

Thanks, Chair.

I'll get back to you soon.

I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

Hey, sweetie.

Hey, Marley.

It's a little bit after 7.

It's about late already.

It's practically midnight.

No, no, no, no.

No, no, wait a minute.

Honey, I'm trying to finish this up. Please let me know.

Ugh.

Natasha. You still in bed?

No, I'm just finishing my aerobics.

What's up? Just called to remind you that we were going shopping today.

Remember all the stuff that we need for the vacation?

All right, I'm sorry.

I'll get ready and come pick you up.

Okay.

That was your better half.

It makes me queasy that you're here.

Hey, don't worry.

What she doesn't know won't hurt her.

Once is enough. You know I'm not a morning person.

But it's almost 8 in the morning.

It's practically noon.

Please don't.

But you know how much I love morning sports.

Do you like that, baby?

Wash my hands. As you say, boss.

Mmm, this is so good.

Behave. Behave.

Just a hair.

Don't be a bad boy.

But when I'm bad, I'm better.

Hey, enough.

We'll never make it out of here.

But you know how much I love leather sports.

I think I should've seen like this in our next video.

Welcome to Miami.

This is great.

I had no idea it would be this night.

What was your name?

My name is Raul.

Raul. Mm -hmm.

Okay, come here.

Which one is Amanda?

That one.

Oh, is that your friend that you said had a conservative upbringing?

Shit.

Kate, Kate, Kate, please watch your language. My virgin ears cannot handle

Honey, we both know there's not a virgin bone in that body.

Oh, he is hot.

Oh, my. I never thought Amanda would be like this in a million years.

Like this.

That's just a little bit different here, Kate. None of your typical hang -ups.

That's what I've been trying to tell her all this time.

Enough already.

Cool it, okay?

You see anything you like?

No.

Just a little surprise, that's all.

Come along little boy.

Just relax.

It'll be okay.

I know, it's just... No, no, no, no. Not right now.

I'm really tired.

Why don't you just go freshen up?

A fucking cold shower is more like it.

Hello.

You have a phone call.

Hello? Hi, it's Amanda.

Oh, hey.

What time is it?

3 p .m.

I must have overslept.

Well, things got a little complicated.

Just to let you know, I'll be heading back shortly.

Hold on.

It's for you?

Thank you.

So, uh, who might you be?

Kate?

Hi.

I've, uh, seen... I mean, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

That was good.

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

Hey, how are you?

Good. How are you? Good.

You, too. This is Paul.

Hi, Paul. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

And this is his partner, Kevin.

Hi. Pleasure.

Hi, I'm Natasha.

Hi, Natasha.

We're going to a friend's party. Want to come?

Color us there.

Ooh, I'm just plain worn out.

You guys go ahead and go without me. Surprise, surprise.

Always the same shit.

No, you guys just go ahead and go. I'm really not in the mood.

Fine. You don't want to go, don't go.

Kate, we're on vacation here, remember?

Give her a break. She's tired.

Who appointed you, Lord Protector?

Look, guys, I'm just not in the mood for the party scene. Go ahead and go

without me.

Not to worry. There'll be other opportunities.

You don't need to come around.

Something might come up.

Something you can't handle?

Not like me. This is the first time for us today.

We're just going to wait just a minute.

Okay.

Banana, huh?

Just hungry, just a little.

I'm hungry.

That depends.

Okay, okay.

Rise and shine, sleeping beauty.

Come on.

What are you guys doing?

We're going for a dip in the pool.

Now? Yeah, right now. Get up, get ready. Let's go.

Okay, let it out.

Oh, mine.

Water's hot.

You guys must be like boxes.

The water's fine.

This is great.

I saw your help in here earlier this evening.

You mean Anna?

Me guess is that what she was up to.

I bet she was not alone in here.

Is there any champagne left?

Sure, just a sec.

Shut your mouth, Paul.

You might just drown.

Oh, my, my.

We're even.

Look who's drawn in now.

I hope we're not embarrassing you or making you feel uncomfortable.

We are very casual, but sometimes we just forget that we all have a much

different point of view.

Hey, I do this for a living.

We can assure you we're not a least bit embarrassed.

Speak for yourself.

Come on, love.

Let's go. Take it off.

Went in the wrong.

Give me a second. I'm still enjoying my drink.

Hey, guys, come on. It's not that bad.

It's not a big deal.

Listen, guys, I hate to be the perennial party pooper, but I'm just not ready

for all of this.

I can understand.

It took me a while.

You don't have to rush into anything.

How about that massage, love?

That's what we really need after a long day.

No problem, Natasha.

I'm sure that Eric would be happy to oblige. Right, love?

See? There you go again.

You're offering my specialized services without even consulting me.

No problem.

I'll just call Raul, and he'll give Natasha one of his special treatment.

Just say no more.

Go for it, Natasha.

Remember when in Rome?

Hey, listen, Natasha, don't you think this is getting a bit much?

For a sophisticated man like yourself, I don't think a small back rub would be

such a problem.

Sure, like if Kay was next in line, you wouldn't be singing a different tune?

Dear, you have my utmost consent, approval, and encouragement to go ahead

get yourself a little background.

There you go, Kate. Take him up on it.

Obviously, the only reason he's saying that is because he knows I'd never do

that.

So, go on, girl.

Show Paul you have it in you.

Stop it. All this talk is getting you dizzy.

Let's go on a night.

We're all a little tired and it's been a long day.

Okay?

Good night. We'll see you in the morning.

Um, I think I'll be going to bed now.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

No, what if they come back?

Babe, they're not coming back.

Oh, oh, oh.

How about some pictures?

Sure, why not?

Oh, look at you.

Ooh,

these are going to turn out great.

Your turn.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

Come on, Kate. It's not that bad, is it?

No.

Are you ready for your massage?

Shall we?

Okay, I guess.

After you.

Oh, no, no, no. You go right ahead.

Your turn.

Really, I've had enough for today.

You sure?

Yeah, I just want to go and cool down.

Listen up, kid.

Permission to come on board, Captain?

Yes. Hey, sunshine.

Hair of the dog?

Can you touch my sea legs?

I don't think so. I got you.

This is the regulation uniform. Everyone must wear them.

Cute. Cute.

Do you see a case?

I see, but I see. You're up. We're on vacation.

Hey, that's a new one. I think we'll go for a quick cooling dip while you

gentlemen say, like, what kind of food.

Don't sweat it. Don't sweat it. Kevin and I are the barbecue kings of Kingston

County. Hey, pal, in case you haven't noticed, this ain't Kingston County.

you don't know what we got back there in the alley, man.

There goes the neighborhood.

We'll be back.

Natasha, I forgot my suit.

Wear mine.

That skimpy little top?

All right, I guess.

Let's go, princess.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Coming.

I can't believe you're wearing that T -shirt.

This is getting ridiculous.

Get out of the water or go back to the boat.

Hey, guys. Hey, hey, what's with the intrusion? This is an exclusive resort

women only.

Shababa will have you arrested.

Well, I thought you might be up for a little wave hunting.

Nah, I just want to soak up some rays.

How about you, Natasha? Do you want to go?

Go on, girl. Get some.

Um, no, I think I'll work on my pen.

Oh, so she can talk the talk.

How about you, Kate? Do you want to go?

Sure.

Actually, I'd like to learn.

Hey, Paulie.

You're never gonna fucking believe this. Come out here.

Shit, man. She's losing it.

Fuck that, man. He's grinding all over her. Check it out.

And like you weren't pulling the same shit with Amanda last night. Relax, man.

It's harmless.

Yeah, but that's just not the way Kate operates. I mean... Whoa.

That island is the place to be.

Those steaks about ready yet?

Just about.

You got the plates? We'll take them over. Okay, guys,

time to get back. Let's start picking up.

Oh, come on, you party pooper. Let's have some more fun.

Let's go swimming.

Swimming, she says.

Richard to the water.

It's like fun.

Want to join them?

Ask someone who does the dishes.

I'm never going to get all this sand out of my hair.

Whose bad idea was this anyway?

Oh, no mine, eh?

What's the big deal now, eh? No big deal. Just get over here and get this

out of my hair.

Okay. Every last grain.

And when you're finished with her, you can do mine.

And then me.

Madame, you're on the slave inquiries. This duty includes the removal of all

sand. It misses its entire body.

I'm afraid that would be a reward for you, Clay.

Today your behavior does not merit such rewards.

Eric, you can do mine.

Okay, good idea.

Pardon me, miss, but I seem to have some sand in my hair as well.

I'll give you three guesses as to how it got there.

Guilty?

I guess I'll have to tend to my duties.

The fuck are you doing?

What's it look like I'm doing? Looks like you're taking this bullshit a bit

fucking far. Give it a rest.

No way, Jose.

You're the one who started this. Remember?

You're the one who tried to get me out of my shell.

And look at me now.

There's no turning back.

There's no putting me back in my shell.

Fuck you and fuck them too. Fuck me?

You wish you could, you selfish...

premature, ejaculating piece of shit.

Yeah.

Seems like little Miss Whitebread finally got some balls. Is that right?

it, Kate? You finally got some?

I'll go have another beer, Paul. That's about all that you know how to finish.

Right on.

Hey, ease up, tough guy. Back off.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Give her some space.

You think I don't know what's been going on between you and Natasha's little

games? What?

I knew it, you asshole. I fucking knew it.

Go ahead and have your fun. At least you're open about it. At least you've

fucking behind our backs for months.

Natasha, how could you?

I'm sorry.

Thanks a lot, pal.

Oh, and I suppose I should be thanking you for fucking my girlfriend. Is that

it, Paul?

Ease off, man. She's just a whore. Fuck off.

Fuck him.

Who gives a rat's ass about him anyway?

So, uh, did you enjoy Miami?

What? Are you on drugs or just plain fucking stupid, man?

Make yourself at home there, Jer.

And this is our gracious hostess, Amanda.

Oh, well.

At your service, madam.

Kate's told us all about you.

Well, don't be influenced by her opinion.

I'm not half bad.

And who is this angel?

I'm Natasha.

Yes, of course you are, my dear.

Oh, behave, Jer.

Sure. He's the one that brought the girl to my birthday party last year in this

cheer dress.

Yeah, well, that girl was the Brazilian carnival queen from Rio.

Talk about a memorable date.

Have you ever seen the movie The Crying Game?

Well, I'll tell you, as soon as things got hot and heavy, I found out that my

date had a mean package.

It was a guy.

And the worst part about it was she was better hung than me.

So where's Paul?

Skulking around here somewhere, I would assume.

Um, he took off somewhere.

Really? Separate vacations? How sophisticated.

This is going to be a more permanent arrangement.

Let us show you to your room, Natasha. Would you be so kind?

It would be my pleasure.

Follow me.

Anywhere.

But we're sure you're a girl girl, right?

Maybe.

Beautiful,

isn't it?

You okay?

And there's such shits.

Find them, fuck them, forget them, right?

Trust me.

Natasha's not the only one that Paul's been screwing.

No.

Forget about it.

I want to hear about it.

What about you and Natasha?

Aren't you jealous?

No. Not really.

Well, that's not true.

I was jealous, but not of Natasha.

Fact is, I was jealous of Paul.

Of Paul?

Because he had you.

What?

I love you, Kate.

Kevin. From the first moment I met you, something just clicked inside of me.

It hit me like a ton of bricks.

I tried to ignore it, but it just wouldn't go away.

I want to be with you.

I love you with all my heart, and I always will.

I'm not sure about a lot of things, but I'm very sure about this.

It's the only thing that I am sure about.

It's the only thing that really matters.

I... I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

Look familiar?

I thought I was dreaming.

But I guess dreams do come true.

I love you.

I'm not giving that no -talent asshole a penny until he delivers an acceptable

manuscript.

Hold on a second.

No, Lorraine, not you.

Listen, if you want to accept responsibility for this, that's just

But if it doesn't float, it's coming out of your payroll, okay?

Huh. When it's my money you're spending, you're willing to fight for the

schmuck. But now that it's your money, you're not sure.

Surprise, surprise.

Okay.

Okay, fine, all right.

Good, but if you're wrong about this, I'm not going to let you forget it.

I'm such a softy.

You're right.

I've been working pretty steadily on this, and I think that I finally broke

through. Whoa, you've been busy as a little beaver, haven't you?

Yeah, and I feel pretty good about it.

I think you're going to be really surprised.

Well, I hope so.

You know, I never heard a writer say that their own writing sucks.

I mean, I always thought you had such high regard for yourselves.

It never ceases to amaze me.

So how are you doing?

I'm fine.

Just read the draft and let me know what you think, okay? I don't know. Come on.

I'm serious.

Anything I can do?

I'm fine.

It's over.

Time to move on.

No shit. Yeah.

Oh, you again.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Hot damn.

No. No. No.

And what fucking part of no don't you understand?

Uh, excuse me, Kate.

Your friend seemed to be naked.

So, what's your point?

Show off.

Getting to the mac of things, eh?

Feeling like I've got a whole new life ahead of me.

Paul.

Paul? Fuck Paul.

From now on, it's Kevin and I.

That's my girl.

All right.

Where's Natasha?

Heads up, Valentino.

Well,

I've heard a lot of nice things about you. I thought perhaps we could, you

know... All you have to do is ask.

I'm asking, I'm asking.

Well, you know, Jerry, I always wanted to write a book.

Right. Well, why don't we just see what's inside of that beautiful little

of yours?

All right.

Ugh.
