1
00:01:20,289 --> 00:01:21,623
Dear Mom,

2
00:01:22,124 --> 00:01:23,208
No, no.

3
00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:25,711
Dear Lydia,

4
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:28,589
I know it's been a while.

5
00:01:29,506 --> 00:01:31,425
School wasn't what I hoped it would be,

6
00:01:31,508 --> 00:01:32,968
but I made it through.

7
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:34,928
I wanted to let you know

8
00:01:35,012 --> 00:01:37,180
I'll be back in New York soon, and...

9
00:01:38,265 --> 00:01:39,266
No, no, no.

10
00:01:41,685 --> 00:01:43,228
Dear Lydia,

11
00:01:44,646 --> 00:01:46,023
I know I've been out of touch,

12
00:01:46,106 --> 00:01:49,359
but things between us being so...

13
00:01:49,943 --> 00:01:50,944
Lydia?

14
00:01:51,528 --> 00:01:52,654
Tense...

15
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:56,491
I really needed
to get as far away as possible

16
00:01:56,575 --> 00:01:57,576
after Grandma...

17
00:01:58,869 --> 00:02:00,537
No, no, no, no, God no.

18
00:02:04,583 --> 00:02:05,584
Dear Lydia,

19
00:02:07,002 --> 00:02:09,630
I made some decisions
I'm really excited about,

20
00:02:09,713 --> 00:02:11,423
and I'm headed back east,

21
00:02:11,506 --> 00:02:14,384
so I'll drop by the store
when I get settled.

22
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:15,510
Hope all is well.

23
00:02:17,054 --> 00:02:18,388
Hope all is well?

24
00:02:18,472 --> 00:02:19,556
Oh, God.

25
00:02:20,057 --> 00:02:22,100
Forget it, Cece, just forget it.

Two minutes.

32
00:04:24,055 --> 00:04:25,515
Okay, sugar, I'm coming.

33
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:31,688
All right, now Ronnie's
gonna come and get you, okay?

34
00:04:34,941 --> 00:04:36,526
Oh, come on now.

35
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:39,196
Come on, baby, now,
you like Ronnie, don't you?

36
00:04:41,198 --> 00:04:42,532
Don't... look.

37
00:04:43,158 --> 00:04:44,868
I told you never to do that.

38
00:04:45,994 --> 00:04:47,078
Don't cry!

39
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:49,122
Don't cry.

40
00:04:50,457 --> 00:04:52,292
You start crying now
over every little thing

41
00:04:52,375 --> 00:04:55,212
you're gonna be crying
for the rest of your life.

42
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:56,838
I want my daddy.

43
00:05:01,843 --> 00:05:03,804
Well, your daddy left us.

44
00:05:36,837 --> 00:05:38,547
How you doing, Cece?

45
00:05:40,507 --> 00:05:41,508
Been having fun?

46
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:49,015
Now follow me, Cece.

47
00:05:49,558 --> 00:05:50,559
Come on.

48
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:51,893
Follow me.

49
00:06:04,239 --> 00:06:05,824
Let's play our little game.

50
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:24,301
Oh, come on now,
I am tired of paying baby.

51
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:26,469
You got the gold card.

52
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:28,138
Put that shit over there, sugar.

53
00:06:36,271 --> 00:06:38,690
Well, my, my, my,

54
00:06:38,773 --> 00:06:40,275
look what the cat dragged in.

55
00:06:40,358 --> 00:06:41,985
Cece, that you, girl?

56
00:06:42,736 --> 00:06:44,988
You look good, you look damn good.

57
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:49,826
And lost all that weight,
got yourself a fine figure.

58
00:06:49,910 --> 00:06:52,454
And changed your hair,
but it looks good now.

59
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:55,874
Jesse, I need to talk
to my mother in private.

60
00:06:58,126 --> 00:06:59,502
You gonna be all right?

61
00:07:01,087 --> 00:07:02,172
I'm all right.

62
00:07:02,255 --> 00:07:03,548
- You sure?
- I'm sure.

63
00:07:04,174 --> 00:07:06,843
All right, I'm gonna
take off then, all right?

64
00:07:11,222 --> 00:07:13,266
But you look good, Cece, you really do.

65
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:17,562
She must've heard you talking 'bout her,

66
00:07:17,646 --> 00:07:19,022
that's why she came back.

67
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:23,568
Your baby girl has come home a woman.

68
00:07:30,951 --> 00:07:33,578
So, you think you can just put folks out

69
00:07:33,662 --> 00:07:35,038
of places they pay for?

70
00:07:37,207 --> 00:07:39,417
I wanted to talk to you alone.

71
00:07:49,844 --> 00:07:51,846
Yeah, well you haven't wanted
to talk to me

72
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:53,139
for four years.

73
00:07:56,768 --> 00:08:00,355
I came back to tell you
I'm about to be in a film.

74
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:03,149
Acting?

75
00:08:03,775 --> 00:08:06,444
You know how I hate that life.

76
00:08:07,278 --> 00:08:09,698
So, you wanna get back at me
by coming in here

77
00:08:09,781 --> 00:08:10,949
and telling me some shit

78
00:08:11,032 --> 00:08:12,242
about how you wanna go off...

79
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:15,120
Look, a lot has changed
since I left, okay?

80
00:08:15,203 --> 00:08:21,042
I am not the same big,
scared girl that I was when...

81
00:08:21,126 --> 00:08:24,004
Mm-hm, yeah, you lost what,
50, 55 pounds?

82
00:08:24,504 --> 00:08:25,505
57.

83
00:08:26,631 --> 00:08:27,632
Him.

84
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:31,469
So, now you got a new body.

85
00:08:32,095 --> 00:08:33,555
Now you wanna be an actress.

86
00:08:33,638 --> 00:08:36,349
I am already an actress.

87
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:40,478
If you just have to be
in front of the camera,

88
00:08:41,229 --> 00:08:43,273
then be a talk show hostess,

89
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:44,399
like Oprah.

90
00:08:44,941 --> 00:08:45,900
Do something like that.

91
00:08:45,984 --> 00:08:47,694
You're the one who raised me up

92
00:08:47,777 --> 00:08:49,863
in every ratty little studio
in the city.

93
00:08:49,946 --> 00:08:51,906
I sat in screening rooms

94
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:54,451
the way other kids
sit in daycare centers.

95
00:08:54,909 --> 00:08:56,411
It's your grandma's doing,

96
00:08:56,494 --> 00:08:58,580
always talking about "the theater."

97
00:09:00,165 --> 00:09:03,126
Dressing you in them
stupid ass costumes.

98
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:06,254
No, Lydia, she loved me.

99
00:09:06,337 --> 00:09:07,338
That's all.

100
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:09,924
She believed in me.

101
00:09:13,511 --> 00:09:17,223
Anyway, I just finally decided

102
00:09:17,307 --> 00:09:19,434
that this is the career that I want.

103
00:09:25,148 --> 00:09:26,191
Career?

104
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:30,528
No, let me tell you
'bout your so-called career.

105
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:34,783
Cause they just gonna
have you playing a whore.

106
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:39,079
Or some other variation
of a exotic Black vamp.

107
00:09:40,288 --> 00:09:42,165
When they want you
to take off your clothes,

108
00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:44,501
now then they'll talk about your career.

109
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,128
- 'Cause they're gonna try...
- No, Lydia.

110
00:09:47,629 --> 00:09:51,257
This is not one of your famous
Blacktress films, okay?

111
00:09:51,341 --> 00:09:53,593
This is an art film. Quality.

112
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:55,136
Quality?

113
00:09:56,221 --> 00:09:58,098
The only quality they're concerned about

114
00:09:58,181 --> 00:10:00,016
is the kind that fills up your bra cup.

115
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,894
Yeah, well I'm not gonna
have to worry about that.

116
00:10:02,977 --> 00:10:05,980
Cause there are certain things
that I will never do.

117
00:10:06,981 --> 00:10:08,399
You wanna be an actress?

118
00:10:20,745 --> 00:10:23,373
Don't ever say what you won't do.

119
00:10:26,334 --> 00:10:29,420
Yeah, well,
I would gain back all my weight

120
00:10:29,504 --> 00:10:30,755
and play somebody's mammy

121
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:32,632
before I did something like that.

122
00:10:32,715 --> 00:10:34,425
Yeah, well you might have to.

123
00:10:34,509 --> 00:10:35,468
What, are you telling me

124
00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:37,345
that all those roles you took,

125
00:10:37,428 --> 00:10:38,471
you didn't have a choice?

126
00:10:38,555 --> 00:10:40,515
What I am trying to tell you

127
00:10:40,598 --> 00:10:42,350
is that it wasn't that easy.

128
00:10:43,143 --> 00:10:46,271
Yeah, well, you sure made it look easy.

129
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:58,867
This time I'm not coming back.

130
00:11:02,036 --> 00:11:03,037
Cece...

131
00:11:03,705 --> 00:11:04,706

Good work here.

148
00:12:22,951 --> 00:12:25,286
- Hi, I'm Cicely and...
- You're tardy.

149
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,497
Tardiness costs money.

150
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:31,459
Sorry, the A train
was stuck in the tunnel,

151
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:32,877
somebody pulled the brake...

152
00:12:32,961 --> 00:12:35,964
Unreliable trains
being a given in New York City,

153
00:12:36,047 --> 00:12:38,925
this young lady
and I left our homes early enough

154
00:12:39,008 --> 00:12:40,718
to accommodate the situation.

155
00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:43,554
I take it you're our Elena.

156
00:12:43,638 --> 00:12:45,139
This is Winsome who will be playing

157
00:12:45,223 --> 00:12:46,391
my daughter in the film,

158
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:48,726
and our Lucretia
is unfortunately also late,

159
00:12:48,810 --> 00:12:50,186
which I loathe.

160
00:12:50,853 --> 00:12:52,188
You have a headshot and resume?

161
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:55,608
Well, my looks changed recently
and I haven't gotten new ones...

162
00:12:55,692 --> 00:12:57,318
It should've been your first priority,

163
00:12:57,402 --> 00:13:00,280
young lady,
when you decided to read for the part.

164
00:13:00,405 --> 00:13:03,408
Every actor understands
how important a headshot is.

165
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:06,577
Well, it's a waste of money
if you ask me.

166
00:13:06,953 --> 00:13:09,163
I mean,
who really looks like their headshot?

167
00:13:09,247 --> 00:13:10,373
Honey, I know I don't.

168
00:13:10,456 --> 00:13:11,457
Who are you?

169
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:14,252
I'm Randi, Mr. B, your Lucretia.

170
00:13:15,044 --> 00:13:16,963
You're tardy, tardiness costs money.

171
00:13:17,046 --> 00:13:18,047
Have a seat.

172
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:25,221
Not sit on the desk,
young lady, use a chair.

173
00:13:25,305 --> 00:13:26,723
That's what they're for.

174
00:13:31,602 --> 00:13:32,687
Have a seat.

175
00:13:39,944 --> 00:13:40,945
Thank you.

176
00:13:41,029 --> 00:13:43,865
I've attempted to get this script
produced for years,

177
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:47,368
and no one would buy the idea
of a Black man as an artist,

178
00:13:47,452 --> 00:13:49,454
painting and sculpting female nudes

179
00:13:49,537 --> 00:13:51,331
with seriousness and passion.

180
00:13:51,414 --> 00:13:53,916
I've decided to produce
Body of Art myself.

181
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:55,710
Good for you, Mr. B.

182
00:13:55,793 --> 00:13:57,962
It's not my objective here...

183
00:13:58,755 --> 00:14:01,174
I'd like to share something
with everyone.

184
00:14:01,257 --> 00:14:03,509
You don't have
to raise your hand, my dear.

185
00:14:03,593 --> 00:14:06,429
Well, I've done a lot of art modeling,

186
00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:09,515
and really what happens
is that the artist

187
00:14:09,599 --> 00:14:12,643
begins to see you as not a body,

188
00:14:12,727 --> 00:14:16,689
they start to see you
as light and shadow and form.

189
00:14:17,482 --> 00:14:18,900
Well, men watching a film

190
00:14:18,983 --> 00:14:20,985
ain't gonna be interested
in shadow and light,

191
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:22,820
they're gonna want body, okay?

192
00:14:23,404 --> 00:14:25,490
Then these big Black woman hips

193
00:14:25,573 --> 00:14:27,158
and big Black woman behinds

194
00:14:27,241 --> 00:14:29,577
gonna give them
all the body they can handle.

195
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:31,204
Uh, wait a minute,

196
00:14:32,038 --> 00:14:36,417
Elena's character
doesn't have to pose nude, does she?

197
00:14:36,501 --> 00:14:38,419
Well, what do you think an art model is?

198
00:14:38,503 --> 00:14:40,630
I know what an art model is,

199
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,173
but Joel didn't mention

200
00:14:42,256 --> 00:14:44,008
anything about nudity to me.

201
00:14:44,092 --> 00:14:46,469
Didn't he tell you
what the film was about?

202
00:14:46,552 --> 00:14:49,389
Yeah, but he just said
it was a film about an artist

203
00:14:49,472 --> 00:14:51,891
and I'd be playing
some woman's best friend.

204
00:14:51,974 --> 00:14:53,518
This is nudity in the tradition

205
00:14:53,601 --> 00:14:56,187
of the best European filmmakers.

206
00:14:56,270 --> 00:14:58,398
Nudity within context,

207
00:14:58,481 --> 00:15:01,567
an unassuming piece
of the overall mise-en-scéne.

208
00:15:01,651 --> 00:15:02,777
You do understand that.

209
00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:04,654
Well, isn't there some way that you can

210
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:08,074
shoot those scenes
without my being nude?

211
00:15:08,157 --> 00:15:09,492
Nothing in the script changes.

212
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:11,369
- Changes cost money.
- But he...

213
00:15:11,452 --> 00:15:14,247
In fact,
this conversation is costing money.

214
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:17,125
Now, Joel tells me
you're Lydia Love's daughter?

215
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:19,794
Is that right?

216
00:15:22,505 --> 00:15:24,674
What's this really about, young lady?

217
00:15:25,007 --> 00:15:26,217
What's what about?

218
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:27,427
This resistance.

219
00:15:28,177 --> 00:15:29,387
Trying perhaps to step out

220
00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:31,139
of your mother's well-endowed shadow.

221
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:32,056
Look...

222
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:34,016
I remember your grandmother.

223
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:35,893
Fine, fine actress.

224
00:15:36,727 --> 00:15:37,728
The best.

225
00:15:38,729 --> 00:15:40,606
When I saw her and Henry Esposito

226
00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:42,483
do Porgy and Bess at the Beacon...

227
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:44,819
Yeah, I know the story.

228
00:15:44,902 --> 00:15:46,654
Then help me out here, I'm confused.

229
00:15:46,737 --> 00:15:48,156
Confused about what?

230
00:15:48,239 --> 00:15:50,032
About your problem, that's what.

231
00:15:50,116 --> 00:15:52,535
I don't have a problem.

232
00:15:54,704 --> 00:15:57,457
I'm afraid you don't have a role
in this film either.

233
00:15:57,540 --> 00:16:00,001
Not if you can't do the part as written.

234
00:16:05,381 --> 00:16:07,341
Thank you for coming in, however.

235
00:16:16,184 --> 00:16:17,602
It's your loss.

236
00:16:34,118 --> 00:16:35,578
Oh, I'm so happy we did this.

237
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:36,662
So am I.

238
00:16:37,121 --> 00:16:38,206
You gonna give me a call?

239
00:16:38,289 --> 00:16:39,874
Yeah, and we'll put it all together.

240
00:16:39,957 --> 00:16:42,460
Okay, good, we'll go over all
of the details for the stills?

241
00:16:42,543 --> 00:16:43,669
- Yeah.
- Beautiful.

242
00:16:49,258 --> 00:16:51,135
- Bye bye.
- All right, be careful.

243
00:17:01,229 --> 00:17:05,024
Damn, Cece,
I can't get over how good you look.

244
00:17:05,107 --> 00:17:06,359
Was that your sister?

245
00:17:06,734 --> 00:17:07,568
Yeah, that was Di,

246
00:17:07,652 --> 00:17:10,196
she's gonna be
the still photographer on the shoot.

247
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:11,948
She's still as thin as ever.

248
00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:14,116
She never changes, but you,

249
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,493
look I know I said this already,

250
00:17:15,576 --> 00:17:17,703
but the difference between... wow.

251
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:19,080
Does she eat dairy products?

252
00:17:19,163 --> 00:17:20,331
Everything, as far as I know.

253
00:17:20,414 --> 00:17:22,166
Look, why don't we stay in touch.

254
00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:24,043
- Listen, Joel...
- We better walk and talk.

255
00:17:24,126 --> 00:17:25,711
We're already late for the rehearsal.

256
00:17:25,795 --> 00:17:27,713
- Joel.
- It's fate, Cece.

257
00:17:28,422 --> 00:17:29,423
I'm telling you.

258
00:17:29,924 --> 00:17:31,050
Us running into each other,

259
00:17:31,133 --> 00:17:32,885
you wanting to act,
me doing my first film.

260
00:17:32,969 --> 00:17:35,763
Joel, I'm trying to tell you
I'm not gonna be in your film.

261
00:17:35,846 --> 00:17:37,598
Marcel just fired me.

262
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:39,225
What?

263
00:17:39,308 --> 00:17:40,685
Seems like you forgot to mention

264
00:17:40,768 --> 00:17:42,895
that my role didn't include clothing.

265
00:17:42,979 --> 00:17:44,981
Excuse me,
but how does one forget to mention...

266
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:46,440
Look, it's no big deal.

267
00:17:46,857 --> 00:17:48,359
Just one small scene with you

268
00:17:48,442 --> 00:17:50,069
posing for the artist while he paints,

269
00:17:50,152 --> 00:17:51,279
nothing to it.

270
00:17:51,362 --> 00:17:53,573
I figured with your new
slammin' body and everything

271
00:17:53,656 --> 00:17:55,241
you wouldn't have a problem with that.

272
00:17:55,324 --> 00:17:56,534
- Not anymore.
- Yeah, right.

273
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:58,202
Since my mother was Lydia Love

274
00:17:58,286 --> 00:17:59,954
it should be a given
that I wouldn't have

275
00:18:00,037 --> 00:18:01,664
a problem with that, right?

276
00:18:01,747 --> 00:18:02,915
Well, yeah.

277
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:04,875
Come on now, you know I totally

278
00:18:04,959 --> 00:18:05,918
admire your mom's work.

279
00:18:06,002 --> 00:18:07,670
I think her movies were fierce.

280
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:09,589
Cool Mamawas my favorite.

281
00:18:09,672 --> 00:18:10,715
Yeah, well next time

282
00:18:10,798 --> 00:18:12,258
you might want to ask me first

283
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:14,260
what I'd like to do
with my own body, okay?

284
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:15,344
Come on, chill, Cece,

285
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:17,597
you know me, you know what I'm about.

286
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,514
Now, would I ask you

287
00:18:18,598 --> 00:18:20,349
to do something
if it wasn't in good taste?

288
00:18:20,433 --> 00:18:21,767
I don't know, would you?

289
00:18:21,851 --> 00:18:23,561
Look, Cece, this is me, Joel.

290
00:18:23,978 --> 00:18:25,104
We got a history together,

291
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:26,897
now don't hurt my feelings, okay?

292
00:18:26,981 --> 00:18:28,816
Yeah, well I told Marcel
that I wouldn't do

293
00:18:28,899 --> 00:18:31,068
the nude scene
and basically he said adios.

294
00:18:31,152 --> 00:18:34,238
Look, he can't do that
without talking with me first.

295
00:18:35,865 --> 00:18:36,866
Well, he did.

296
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:38,576
I'm the director.

297
00:18:38,659 --> 00:18:39,827
Yeah, but he's the producer.

298
00:18:39,910 --> 00:18:40,870
And the star.

299
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:42,455
And from what little my grandmother

300
00:18:42,538 --> 00:18:44,248
told me about him,
he's not about to let...

301
00:18:44,332 --> 00:18:45,555
I don't give a shit about that,

302
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:48,002
no one gives ultimatums to my actresses.

303
00:18:48,461 --> 00:18:49,378
Listen.

304
00:18:49,462 --> 00:18:51,464
The last thing I need
is to be in the middle

305
00:18:51,547 --> 00:18:52,882
of some male power struggle

306
00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:54,717
between you and Marcel Brown.

307
00:18:55,885 --> 00:18:58,012
Tell me something,
Joel, why did you cast me?

308
00:18:58,095 --> 00:18:59,472
Because you're fine.

309
00:19:00,014 --> 00:19:01,766
I wanna help you
get your thing happening,

310
00:19:01,849 --> 00:19:03,017
but you gotta trust me, okay?

311
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:04,407
I don't know if it's okay or not.

312
00:19:04,477 --> 00:19:07,730
Look, I'll get your part
back for you I promise.

313
00:19:08,939 --> 00:19:10,524
You just start rehearsing your lines.

314
00:19:10,608 --> 00:19:11,692
I got it covered.

315
00:19:19,492 --> 00:19:21,869
Mr. Brown... listen,

316
00:19:21,952 --> 00:19:23,663
I want to talk this over with you.

317
00:19:23,746 --> 00:19:26,374
I just had this little chat
with Cicely, right?

318
00:19:26,457 --> 00:19:29,043
She says there's a bit
of an issue with her role?

319
00:19:29,126 --> 00:19:31,379
I call it more than a bit of an issue.

320
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:34,382
She refuses to do the part
as I've written it,

321
00:19:34,465 --> 00:19:35,925
- I can't use her.
- Wait a minute.

322
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:37,677
It doesn't have to go there.

323
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:40,012
See, she and I go way back

324
00:19:40,096 --> 00:19:42,556
and she's going through
a little thing right now.

325
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,475
She used to be a lot heavier, you know.

326
00:19:44,558 --> 00:19:46,018
She just lost all this weight so...

327
00:19:46,102 --> 00:19:49,897
Her personal saga
does not interest me one iota.

328
00:19:50,439 --> 00:19:52,608
Now, just round up a couple
of the callbacks for Elena

329
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:54,276
and bring them to rehearsal tomorrow.

330
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,654
Look, Mr. Brown, Cicely's my choice.

331
00:19:57,488 --> 00:19:59,907
I cast her,
she's who I want in the part.

332
00:20:00,241 --> 00:20:04,078
Listen,
as high quality as this film is,

333
00:20:04,578 --> 00:20:07,581
it's an ultra,
ultra low budget production.

334
00:20:08,124 --> 00:20:09,917
Do you think I have time to fool around

335
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,712
with an actress suffering
an attack of modesty?

336
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:14,130
I do not.

337
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:17,091
How many of your plays
have I directed, Mr. Brown?

338
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,135
What's your point?

339
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:20,553
You know my work.

340
00:20:20,636 --> 00:20:21,762
You know my reputation.

341
00:20:21,846 --> 00:20:24,098
I Know your reputation in the theater.

342
00:20:24,557 --> 00:20:28,060
I know nothing about this recent
foray of yours into film.

343
00:20:28,978 --> 00:20:31,105
I did choose to gamble
on your potential,

344
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:32,189
but believe me,

345
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:35,484
it's fast becoming
a scary venture at best.

346
00:20:36,527 --> 00:20:37,695
You trying to threaten a man

347
00:20:37,778 --> 00:20:39,822
who's won awards for his directing.

348
00:20:39,905 --> 00:20:40,823
That's not gonna work.

349
00:20:40,906 --> 00:20:42,408
Sure, you have awards.

350
00:20:42,491 --> 00:20:44,493
But do you have a savings account?

351
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:51,917
She'll do the part.

352
00:20:52,460 --> 00:20:55,588
And see to it that young woman
gets some headshots.

353
00:21:01,761 --> 00:21:04,054
Very, very pleased, very pleased with...

354
00:21:04,138 --> 00:21:05,514
Hang on a second, okay?

355
00:21:06,682 --> 00:21:08,225
Hey, how you doing?

356
00:21:08,309 --> 00:21:09,769
- Okay.
- Come on in.

357
00:21:11,061 --> 00:21:12,855
Just give me one second, okay?

358
00:21:14,023 --> 00:21:17,401
Yeah, send a messenger over
to pick the stuff up if you can.

359
00:21:17,485 --> 00:21:19,111
You have the address, right?

360
00:21:19,195 --> 00:21:21,197
Okay, I'll talk to you later, bye.

361
00:21:23,491 --> 00:21:25,659
So, can I get you something to drink?

362
00:21:25,951 --> 00:21:27,119
No, thanks.

363
00:21:29,038 --> 00:21:31,332
- Interesting photographs.
- Oh, thanks.

364
00:21:31,415 --> 00:21:34,001
Come, let me show you
the rest of the studio.

365
00:21:40,007 --> 00:21:41,675
I'm just getting headshots,

366
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:43,344
nothing from the neck down.

367
00:21:50,059 --> 00:21:52,394
I didn't mean to come off like a bitch.

368
00:21:52,895 --> 00:21:54,647
You have some issues, girlfriend,

369
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:56,565
and you need to deal with them.

370
00:21:58,108 --> 00:22:01,237
All right, turn your head
slightly towards me, please.

371
00:22:11,789 --> 00:22:12,790
Okay.

372
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:14,792
Let's do it again.

373
00:22:14,875 --> 00:22:16,961
This time with your full emotion.

374
00:22:17,503 --> 00:22:18,504
Go.

375
00:22:21,966 --> 00:22:24,552
Lucretia, I have to talk to you.

376
00:22:25,052 --> 00:22:26,053
I really do.

377
00:22:26,512 --> 00:22:27,513
Can't right now, Elena,

378
00:22:27,596 --> 00:22:29,682
Walt wants me in the studio
in five minutes.

379
00:22:29,765 --> 00:22:31,183
You've got time.

380
00:22:31,267 --> 00:22:33,060
No I don't, you know how he likes me

381
00:22:33,143 --> 00:22:35,563
to be in my pose
when he walks into work.

382
00:22:36,564 --> 00:22:39,024
He's not gonna be there today,
Lucretia.

383
00:22:39,650 --> 00:22:40,776
What're you talking about?

384
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:43,153
What are you talking about?

385
00:22:44,154 --> 00:22:46,615
How could you say something
like that, huh?

386
00:22:49,994 --> 00:22:52,663
Run through lines together
for a minute, okay?

387
00:22:57,251 --> 00:22:59,503
- Wanna do it again?
- Let's do it again.

388
00:22:59,587 --> 00:23:03,674
My charge to you was to find an actress

389
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:07,011
who was both sensuous
with an air of innocence

390
00:23:07,094 --> 00:23:09,138
for the part of Lucretia, not that...

391
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:10,472
Excuse me, Mr. Brown.

392
00:23:10,973 --> 00:23:12,349
You were not at those open calls.

393
00:23:12,433 --> 00:23:14,935
No, because casting
was supposed to be your job.

394
00:23:15,019 --> 00:23:16,270
It wasn't easy, okay?

395
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:17,688
Either I got mammy types

396
00:23:17,771 --> 00:23:18,814
who were not about to take

397
00:23:18,898 --> 00:23:20,858
their clothes off for any reason,

398
00:23:21,775 --> 00:23:23,736
or I got a bunch of wannabe divas.

399
00:23:23,819 --> 00:23:24,945
Look, let's face it.

400
00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:26,947
It's not like these women
get to cut their teeth

401
00:23:27,031 --> 00:23:28,616
on Sam Shepard or Tennessee Williams.

402
00:23:28,699 --> 00:23:29,533
Believe me.

403
00:23:29,617 --> 00:23:32,202
If I'd seen sensuous
with an air of innocence,

404
00:23:32,286 --> 00:23:33,579
I would have cast her.

405
00:23:34,163 --> 00:23:36,999
Randi is a walking sassy mama cliché.

406
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:38,876
I need to work with her, true.

407
00:23:40,002 --> 00:23:41,128
But she is sexy

408
00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:44,548
in an earthy, Afrocentric sorta way.

409
00:23:44,632 --> 00:23:46,175
Now, you gotta admit that.

410
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:49,094
Watching what you perceive
as a sexy woman

411
00:23:49,178 --> 00:23:50,346
act poorly,

412
00:23:50,429 --> 00:23:53,140
is like watching soap opera stars
do Shakespeare.

413
00:23:53,223 --> 00:23:54,934
I know a lot of brothers
who wouldn't mind

414
00:23:55,017 --> 00:23:56,602
seeing a fine sister on the big screen

415
00:23:56,685 --> 00:23:58,395
no matter what she was doing.

416
00:23:58,479 --> 00:24:00,648
Now, how many chances
do we get to do that?

417
00:24:00,731 --> 00:24:03,359
You were a director
interested in talent.

418
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:05,945
What happened?

419
00:24:15,537 --> 00:24:16,538
Okay.

420
00:24:17,665 --> 00:24:19,541
Let's take it from Elena's line.

421
00:24:22,252 --> 00:24:24,546
He's not gonna be there today,
Lucretia.

422
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:26,048
What are you talking about?

423
00:24:26,131 --> 00:24:28,342
He wants me to model for him now.

424
00:24:28,968 --> 00:24:30,719
What? What did you just say?

425
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:33,639
How could you say something
like that, huh?

426
00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:34,723
How could you?

427
00:24:37,017 --> 00:24:38,018
Wow...

428
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:40,479
Wow.

429
00:24:40,854 --> 00:24:42,648
Winsome, what is wrong?

430
00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:44,441
Why'd you stop me?

431
00:24:44,525 --> 00:24:46,193
It's just so beautiful,

432
00:24:46,276 --> 00:24:48,445
you know, the way that scene reads?

433
00:24:48,529 --> 00:24:50,489
It's really, really powerful.

434
00:24:51,907 --> 00:24:53,033
Why'd you stop me?

435
00:24:53,117 --> 00:24:56,912
Randi, there needs to be
real hurt in your voice.

436
00:24:57,579 --> 00:24:58,914
But I think she'd be angry,

437
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:00,457
you know, I mean,

438
00:25:00,541 --> 00:25:02,501
her best friend trying to slide
under her action

439
00:25:02,584 --> 00:25:05,004
with this man she is totally
in love with,

440
00:25:05,087 --> 00:25:07,631
this great artist she idolizes
and everything.

441
00:25:07,715 --> 00:25:09,258
I see her angry.

442
00:25:10,926 --> 00:25:12,720
The anger is there to mask the hurt,

443
00:25:12,803 --> 00:25:16,140
but we as the audience
must intuit the distinction,

444
00:25:16,223 --> 00:25:17,599
that's called acting.

445
00:25:17,683 --> 00:25:18,851
Mr. Brown, if you don't mind,

446
00:25:18,934 --> 00:25:20,769
I'd like to work alone
with my actresses.

447
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:23,272
Yeah, Marcel,
you are making us a little nervous.

448
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:24,982
Why don't we just run through it again?

449
00:25:25,065 --> 00:25:27,234
Stanislavski said,

450
00:25:27,317 --> 00:25:30,946
"An actor must make use
of the physical apparatus

451
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:33,615
with which nature has endowed him,
or her."

452
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:36,744
You, young lady,
have an untuned apparatus,

453
00:25:36,827 --> 00:25:39,663
and you would want to become
more familiar with it.

454
00:25:39,747 --> 00:25:41,957
I don't know what you're talking about.

455
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:45,544
He means that our bodies
are our instruments, you know?

456
00:25:46,336 --> 00:25:50,799
We use our bodies like, well, as tools.

457
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:53,594
Well, my therapist says the same thing.

458
00:25:54,011 --> 00:25:55,721
Look, Mr. B, if you have a problem

459
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:57,639
with me working my stuff,
you just say so.

460
00:25:57,723 --> 00:25:58,557
All right,

461
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,351
I have a problem with you
"working your stuff."

462
00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:04,146
Can't we just stick
to the script please.

463
00:26:04,229 --> 00:26:07,107
You, young lady,
need only concern yourself

464
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:08,692
with overcoming your modesty

465
00:26:08,776 --> 00:26:12,029
so that you can disrobe
at the appropriate moment.

466
00:26:13,155 --> 00:26:14,531
As for the rest of you,

467
00:26:15,699 --> 00:26:17,034
I've seen enough.

468
00:26:17,117 --> 00:26:18,118
Good day.

469
00:26:22,748 --> 00:26:25,125
I think that man is sexually frustrated.

470
00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:31,840
No, no, I think he's really,
really clear, you know?

471
00:26:38,347 --> 00:26:39,348
Marcel.

472
00:26:39,765 --> 00:26:41,683
- Marcel, wait.
- Shouldn't you be rehearsing?

473
00:26:41,767 --> 00:26:43,185
About Elena's modeling scene...

474
00:26:43,268 --> 00:26:45,854
It's not changing, changes cost money.

475
00:26:45,938 --> 00:26:49,233
But I have a suggestion about
how you can save some money.

476
00:26:49,316 --> 00:26:50,609
State your agenda, I'm busy.

477
00:26:50,692 --> 00:26:52,277
Okay, in the script,

478
00:26:52,361 --> 00:26:54,822
your character always paints
Lucretia right?

479
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:56,657
Young lady, get to the point.

480
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:58,200
It's only at the end when he chooses

481
00:26:58,283 --> 00:26:59,743
to replace Lucretia with Elena

482
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:02,204
that we finally see Elena's body, right?

483
00:27:02,496 --> 00:27:05,707
Hooray, the actress
actually read the script.

484
00:27:05,791 --> 00:27:07,501
All through the film
we've heard him talk

485
00:27:07,584 --> 00:27:09,753
about how incredible Elena's body is.

486
00:27:10,212 --> 00:27:11,672
Wouldn't the suspense be greater

487
00:27:11,755 --> 00:27:14,174
if we never actually saw Elena's body

488
00:27:14,258 --> 00:27:15,968
until it was on the canvas?

489
00:27:16,051 --> 00:27:19,680
And so, you wouldn't have to do
the nude scenes on camera.

490
00:27:19,763 --> 00:27:20,848
- Yeah.
- How convenient.

491
00:27:20,931 --> 00:27:23,392
But you can render Elena's body
any way you want

492
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:25,060
'cause it'll be a painting.

493
00:27:25,435 --> 00:27:26,687
Why should I do that?

494
00:27:27,688 --> 00:27:30,023
'Cause it's a more dramatic
approach, that's why.

495
00:27:30,107 --> 00:27:32,442
And it's a shorter scene,
a little less film,

496
00:27:32,526 --> 00:27:33,735
a little more money saved.

497
00:27:33,819 --> 00:27:35,529
And it lets you off the hook,

498
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:37,656
which I'm not so sure is a good idea.

499
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:39,700
- I saw you at rehearsal.
- And?

500
00:27:39,783 --> 00:27:42,286
You play that cool
other woman role well enough.

501
00:27:42,369 --> 00:27:43,829
I wonder about your range.

502
00:27:43,912 --> 00:27:45,164
I have range.

503
00:27:45,247 --> 00:27:46,415
Well, Winsome for instance,

504
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,001
SO open, SO raw.

505
00:27:49,084 --> 00:27:50,752
You seldom see that in an actress.

506
00:27:50,836 --> 00:27:53,672
About my suggestion, Marc... Mr. Brown.

507
00:27:53,755 --> 00:27:55,132
You, on the other hand,

508
00:27:55,632 --> 00:27:57,050
I have yet to see that quality

509
00:27:57,134 --> 00:27:59,511
that your grandmother,
for instance, had in abundance.

510
00:27:59,595 --> 00:28:01,597
If you're suggesting
I don't have what it takes,

511
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,514
you're wrong, okay?

512
00:28:02,598 --> 00:28:05,142
I can be as raw as the next actress.

513
00:28:05,225 --> 00:28:07,519
Yet, you're standing here
asking me to take away

514
00:28:07,603 --> 00:28:09,980
the few raw moments
you have in the film.

515
00:28:10,063 --> 00:28:11,190
Yeah, but that scene

516
00:28:11,273 --> 00:28:13,358
would hold much more visual weight,

517
00:28:13,442 --> 00:28:14,776
you have to admit that.

518
00:28:17,821 --> 00:28:20,532
No, no, I wrote that script,
and you tampering with it...

519
00:28:20,616 --> 00:28:21,992
Besides, you still have Randi

520
00:28:22,075 --> 00:28:23,952
who's more than willing
to do her nude scene,

521
00:28:24,036 --> 00:28:25,954
so it's not as though
you're gonna compromise

522
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:27,581
your vision aesthetically.

523
00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:32,002
You sound more like
that wannabe director

524
00:28:32,085 --> 00:28:33,462
than a wannabe actress.

525
00:28:36,590 --> 00:28:37,591
Yes!

526
00:28:38,050 --> 00:28:40,886
God only knows why I let you
convince me of this.

527
00:28:41,929 --> 00:28:43,222
Thanks, Marcel.

528
00:28:44,306 --> 00:28:47,059
You do know that emotional work

529
00:28:47,142 --> 00:28:48,727
can leave you a lot more exposed

530
00:28:48,810 --> 00:28:51,188
than taking your clothes off ever could?

531
00:29:02,991 --> 00:29:05,410
How come you don't want
any of this wine?

532
00:29:06,703 --> 00:29:09,581
'Cause it has 80 empty
calories per glass.

533
00:29:10,082 --> 00:29:12,209
Stuff turns into sugar in your system.

534
00:29:12,292 --> 00:29:14,378
Besides, I'm only on my fifth glass
of water today,

535
00:29:14,461 --> 00:29:15,420
I'm behind schedule.

536
00:29:15,504 --> 00:29:17,631
How many glasses do you drink a day?

537
00:29:18,465 --> 00:29:19,341
Ten to twelve.

538
00:29:19,424 --> 00:29:20,425
Every day?

539
00:29:23,345 --> 00:29:25,138
Damn, that's a lot of pissing.

540
00:29:26,556 --> 00:29:27,391
Yeah, well,

541
00:29:27,474 --> 00:29:29,685
I Know where
a public restroom is located

542
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:32,521
in every single section of Manhattan.

543
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:34,648
Upper West, Lower East, Midtown...

544
00:29:35,148 --> 00:29:38,235
You really handled
that pompous ass Marcel yesterday?

545
00:29:39,486 --> 00:29:40,529
Congratulations.

546
00:29:41,530 --> 00:29:43,156
He's not so tough.

547
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,367
You just have to know how he thinks.

548
00:29:46,118 --> 00:29:48,662
You were always good
at figuring people out.

549
00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:51,748
What makes you say that?

550
00:29:52,165 --> 00:29:54,084
Oh, I just remember
you were always determined

551
00:29:54,167 --> 00:29:57,337
to get whatever you needed
from whomever you needed it.

552
00:29:57,713 --> 00:29:58,839
That's how you got me.

553
00:29:58,922 --> 00:30:00,549
Oh, really?

554
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:01,633
Yeah, really.

555
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:08,557
When I saw you for the first time,

556
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:12,436
I thought you were... I don't know.

557
00:30:13,145 --> 00:30:14,229
An old spirit.

558
00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:18,358
You were a tough little something

559
00:30:18,442 --> 00:30:20,027
to still be in high school.

560
00:30:20,402 --> 00:30:22,279
Don't mention high school.

561
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:24,573
I hated that place.

562
00:30:26,450 --> 00:30:30,370
You were like some kind
of savior to me then, you know?

563
00:30:30,871 --> 00:30:34,708
You rescued me from that whole scene.

564
00:30:36,209 --> 00:30:39,171
Remember how you'd walk over
to my tiny apartment

565
00:30:39,254 --> 00:30:40,464
for lunch every day?

566
00:30:42,215 --> 00:30:43,717
And we'd get together, we'd touch...

567
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,178
To everybody else, I didn't exist.

568
00:30:48,305 --> 00:30:50,015
I probably had one date

569
00:30:50,098 --> 00:30:51,558
my whole junior year.

570
00:30:52,642 --> 00:30:53,824
But when I hooked up with you,

571
00:30:53,894 --> 00:30:56,271
it didn't matter what party or dance

572
00:30:56,355 --> 00:30:58,273
I wasn't getting invited to.

573
00:30:59,649 --> 00:31:01,651
I had this older man I was seeing.

574
00:31:05,197 --> 00:31:06,740
Baby, those days are over.

575
00:31:08,533 --> 00:31:10,202
You're new and improved now.

576
00:31:11,578 --> 00:31:12,412
Think so?

577
00:31:12,496 --> 00:31:14,790
All you gotta do is look in the mirror.

578
00:31:15,165 --> 00:31:17,167
Try not to do that too often.

579
00:31:22,964 --> 00:31:23,965
C'mere.

580
00:31:24,424 --> 00:31:26,551
Look at me, and I'll be your mirror.

581
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:29,262
You wanna know what I see?

582
00:31:30,514 --> 00:31:32,140
I see the same person.

583
00:31:32,641 --> 00:31:35,644
The package is different,
but the woman is the same.

584
00:31:37,938 --> 00:31:38,939
Hot, loving.

585
00:31:40,899 --> 00:31:41,900
Sexy.

586
00:31:44,820 --> 00:31:45,821
Sweet-lipped.

587
00:31:49,783 --> 00:31:52,202
You haven't changed, you know that?

588
00:31:52,285 --> 00:31:53,578
You sound surprised.

589
00:31:55,872 --> 00:31:57,249
You went away and tried to forget

590
00:31:57,332 --> 00:31:58,792
all about me, didn't you?

591
00:32:01,378 --> 00:32:03,255
You were my first, Joel.

592
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,716
I couldn't forget about you.

593
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:19,604
C'mere.

594
00:33:27,756 --> 00:33:29,174
Don't worry, nobody on the film

595
00:33:29,257 --> 00:33:30,258
ever has to know.

596
00:33:33,637 --> 00:33:35,889
The... the clothes stay on.

597
00:33:35,972 --> 00:33:36,973
What?

598
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,185
The clothes.

599
00:33:40,852 --> 00:33:42,437
Stay on.

600
00:33:42,521 --> 00:33:45,524
Come on, Cece,
I've seen your body before, remember?

601
00:33:46,233 --> 00:33:47,943
Not this body, you haven't.

602
00:33:51,947 --> 00:33:54,115
Your clothes have to come off though.

603
00:33:56,952 --> 00:33:57,953
What?

604
00:33:59,621 --> 00:34:00,622
Go on.

605
00:34:02,541 --> 00:34:03,667
Undress.

606
00:34:05,961 --> 00:34:08,630
Oh, this is some freaky
feminine shit, huh?

607
00:34:12,342 --> 00:34:13,343
Go on.

608
00:35:03,351 --> 00:35:04,352

621
00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:43,947
She quit.

622
00:38:44,447 --> 00:38:45,615
What?

623
00:38:45,698 --> 00:38:46,783
Randi quit.

624
00:38:47,283 --> 00:38:48,660
We only have five days left

625
00:38:48,743 --> 00:38:50,370
before we start shooting.

626
00:38:50,453 --> 00:38:52,413
Well, see, Marcel says that

627
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:54,249
Elena's character requires, like,

628
00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:56,084
more emotion than you had,

629
00:38:56,167 --> 00:38:57,502
and so, well,

630
00:38:57,585 --> 00:39:00,588
he thinks that I have, like, a...

631
00:39:00,672 --> 00:39:03,132
a reservoir of feelings, and, well,

632
00:39:04,050 --> 00:39:06,219
he thinks that it would better
if you played Lucretia,

633
00:39:06,302 --> 00:39:09,055
and then, I'd play,
I guess I'd play Elena.

634
00:39:09,973 --> 00:39:11,474
I'm Elena.

635
00:39:12,392 --> 00:39:13,893
Is he crazy?

636
00:39:14,602 --> 00:39:16,688
You're cast as the artist's daughter.

637
00:39:16,771 --> 00:39:18,857
Marcel completely wrote her
out of the script,

638
00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:20,692
Joel made us learn each other's lines...

639
00:39:20,775 --> 00:39:22,652
This is crazy, okay?

640
00:39:23,278 --> 00:39:25,029
It's because of me
that Elena's character

641
00:39:25,113 --> 00:39:26,614
doesn't take her clothes off at all,

642
00:39:26,698 --> 00:39:29,325
and you're telling me
that Marcel wants you...

643
00:39:29,993 --> 00:39:32,287
And you've actually been
an art model, Winsome,

644
00:39:32,370 --> 00:39:33,788
I mean, what's up, I don't get it,

645
00:39:33,872 --> 00:39:35,290
I just don't get it.

646
00:39:35,790 --> 00:39:37,417
Well, because, it... it...
it's one thing

647
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:39,474
when it's just you in a room
with all these people,

648
00:39:39,544 --> 00:39:41,296
like, drawing you, it...

649
00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:43,631
it's like a cocoon, in a way.

650
00:39:43,715 --> 00:39:44,883
But doing it in front

651
00:39:44,966 --> 00:39:46,301
of all these people who...

652
00:39:46,384 --> 00:39:48,636
who don't see your body
as an "art object,"

653
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:50,430
or... or a form, or anything?

654
00:39:50,805 --> 00:39:52,390
The only reason I'm doing this film...

655
00:39:52,473 --> 00:39:54,434
Listen, Winsome?

656
00:39:54,517 --> 00:39:57,228
We don't need to deal with this
over the phone.

657
00:39:57,395 --> 00:39:59,647
Why don't you meet me
after your dance class,

658
00:39:59,731 --> 00:40:01,190
here at my place?

659
00:40:02,275 --> 00:40:03,276
Okay.

660
00:40:03,610 --> 00:40:05,904
Okay, I mean, that's a good idea.

661
00:40:05,987 --> 00:40:07,864
I'll make dinner. See ya.

662
00:40:34,974 --> 00:40:38,394
"Lucretia crumbles,
her feelings deeply hurt.

663
00:40:38,895 --> 00:40:41,314
Elena looks at her best friend,
and as she speaks,

664
00:40:41,397 --> 00:40:44,609
slowly, silently cries."

665
00:41:17,058 --> 00:41:18,059
Okay.

666
00:41:45,169 --> 00:41:46,170
Ow.

667
00:42:13,489 --> 00:42:15,783
No, you just spoil Cece too much, Mama,

668
00:42:15,867 --> 00:42:17,035
that's what it is.

669
00:42:17,118 --> 00:42:19,746
And sometimes at night
she has nightmares.

670
00:42:21,706 --> 00:42:24,375
All children have nightmares, Mama.

671
00:42:24,459 --> 00:42:26,961
Of monsters under the bed
and things flying...

672
00:42:27,045 --> 00:42:29,547
She won't go out
and play with the other children.

673
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:32,592
Hardly laughs, never cries.

674
00:42:32,675 --> 00:42:33,760
That's not normal

675
00:42:33,843 --> 00:42:35,762
for a little girl to hold things in.

676
00:42:35,845 --> 00:42:39,140
Oh, and the amount of junk food
that she eats.

677
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:43,728
What, you trying to blame me, huh?

678
00:42:43,811 --> 00:42:45,563
I'm only saying that...

679
00:42:47,273 --> 00:42:50,735
You have never approved

680
00:42:50,818 --> 00:42:52,403
of anything I do.

681
00:42:52,487 --> 00:42:54,030
What're you talking about?

682
00:42:54,489 --> 00:42:56,824
This is about Cece.

683
00:42:57,617 --> 00:42:59,243
My own mother won't even go

684
00:42:59,327 --> 00:43:01,287
and see one of my movies.

685
00:43:02,747 --> 00:43:04,624
We've been all over this before.

686
00:43:05,083 --> 00:43:06,167
You know how I feel.

687
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:07,919
When I was coming along,

688
00:43:08,002 --> 00:43:10,922
Negro actors took roles
that showed our talent.

689
00:43:11,005 --> 00:43:13,508
We danced, we sang.

690
00:43:13,591 --> 00:43:17,136
Played beautiful music
and wore lovely clothes.

691
00:43:18,096 --> 00:43:20,431
And still got exploited.

692
00:43:22,225 --> 00:43:24,477
Those were roles of integrity.

693
00:43:24,977 --> 00:43:27,105
And you know it's not the role, Mama,

694
00:43:27,188 --> 00:43:28,689
it's what you do with it.

695
00:43:29,148 --> 00:43:31,028
Do you want white folks
to think that we just...

696
00:43:31,109 --> 00:43:35,113
Oh, come off that
Negro mentality, Mama, please.

697
00:43:35,196 --> 00:43:36,322
Shh.

698
00:43:37,907 --> 00:43:39,575
Or you'll wake up the child.

699
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,247
And another thing, missy.

700
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:46,749
This Negro mentality

701
00:43:46,833 --> 00:43:49,877
knows something about morals.

702
00:43:53,297 --> 00:43:54,382
And I still say,

703
00:43:54,465 --> 00:43:58,177
you cannot lie around with some man

704
00:43:58,261 --> 00:44:01,055
up over your child, she might...

705
00:44:01,139 --> 00:44:02,473
She might what, Mama?

706
00:44:03,975 --> 00:44:05,768
No, go ahead and say it, Mama.

707
00:44:06,602 --> 00:44:08,187
No, come on, Mama, say it!

708
00:44:09,230 --> 00:44:11,023
She might end up like me, huh?

709
00:44:12,984 --> 00:44:17,113
When... my daughter wakes up,

710
00:44:17,196 --> 00:44:19,782
you tell her to be ready
when I get back.

711
00:44:21,075 --> 00:44:22,952
She's gonna come back
and live with me again.

712
00:44:29,917 --> 00:44:30,918
Cece?

713
00:44:32,003 --> 00:44:33,504
Cece, baby.

714
00:44:40,178 --> 00:44:42,763
Lord, have mercy on us all.

Lucretia, try to understand.

724
00:45:21,928 --> 00:45:24,138
He sees something new in my body.

725
00:45:25,389 --> 00:45:28,309
You want him to keep exploring
in his work,

726
00:45:28,392 --> 00:45:29,393
don't you?

727
00:45:57,755 --> 00:45:58,756
Hello?

728
00:45:58,839 --> 00:46:02,093
Well, I really like the idea
of playing Elena,

729
00:46:02,176 --> 00:46:04,512
and, you know, only show my body, like,

730
00:46:05,054 --> 00:46:07,515
the way I'm used to,
on a canvas, you know?

731
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:08,557
Winsome?

732
00:46:08,641 --> 00:46:10,768
But I see what it means to you
and everything, and...

733
00:46:10,851 --> 00:46:13,980
so, I really meditated
hard on it this morning,

734
00:46:14,063 --> 00:46:16,440
and it came up for me that, well,

735
00:46:16,524 --> 00:46:19,652
I should play Lucretia,
and you should play Elena.

736
00:46:20,903 --> 00:46:21,904
Are you sure?

737
00:46:23,489 --> 00:46:24,365
Uh-huh.

738
00:46:24,448 --> 00:46:26,367
Good, so that's settled.

739
00:46:27,326 --> 00:46:30,246
So, I'll see you later
at the shoot, okay?

740
00:46:30,830 --> 00:46:32,540
- Oh, wait.
- What is it?

741
00:46:32,623 --> 00:46:34,083
Well, is it true?

742
00:46:34,166 --> 00:46:37,169
Does... does film really add,
like, ten pounds?

743
00:46:37,253 --> 00:46:38,254
Is that true?

744
00:46:39,088 --> 00:46:41,757
You think I'm gonna look
really big on screen?

745
00:46:42,508 --> 00:46:44,218
When's your next group session?

746
00:46:44,302 --> 00:46:45,303
8:30.

747
00:46:46,137 --> 00:46:47,888
Definitely bring that up tonight.

748
00:46:47,972 --> 00:46:48,973
Okay.

749
00:46:50,391 --> 00:46:53,144
Good, you're fabulous.

750
00:46:54,562 --> 00:46:56,314
All right, I've got it.

751
00:46:56,397 --> 00:46:57,703
- I think that's it.
- Is that it?

752
00:46:57,773 --> 00:46:58,816
- It's over.
- Ow.

753
00:47:01,819 --> 00:47:02,987
So, girl,

754
00:47:03,070 --> 00:47:04,947
this tie dye thing is fabulous.

755
00:47:05,531 --> 00:47:07,783
And the color looks great on you, too.

756
00:47:09,118 --> 00:47:10,453
Do you feel okay?

757
00:47:11,704 --> 00:47:13,039
- Yeah.
- Yeah?

758
00:47:13,539 --> 00:47:15,207
You can get dressed if you want.

759
00:47:15,291 --> 00:47:16,500
Oh, okay.

760
00:47:24,258 --> 00:47:25,384
Wow.

761
00:47:26,260 --> 00:47:28,679
This is beautiful.

762
00:47:28,763 --> 00:47:29,930
Oh, thanks.

763
00:47:30,014 --> 00:47:31,098
It's a nymph.

764
00:47:31,182 --> 00:47:32,391
- Really?
- Yeah.

765
00:47:33,392 --> 00:47:36,187
Nymph, wow, that's great.

766
00:47:36,270 --> 00:47:38,939
It has such a spiritual ring to it.

767
00:47:39,023 --> 00:47:42,193
You know, I think I read
about that in Greek mythology.

768
00:47:42,568 --> 00:47:44,236
Nymph, wow, that's great,

769
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,364
I love the way that sounds.

770
00:47:46,947 --> 00:47:48,449
I use it as an amulet.

771
00:47:48,949 --> 00:47:49,784
A what?

772
00:47:49,867 --> 00:47:50,826
An amulet.

773
00:47:50,910 --> 00:47:54,080
To protect me from
the negative influences of life.

774
00:47:54,705 --> 00:47:57,124
You know she's the symbol
of the goddess.

775
00:47:57,208 --> 00:47:59,001
Nature, woman power.

776
00:47:59,085 --> 00:48:01,712
Wow, maybe I need one of these.

777
00:48:01,796 --> 00:48:04,590
Cece, you might consider
getting one of these as well.

778
00:48:04,673 --> 00:48:05,674
Him.

779
00:48:08,177 --> 00:48:09,804
Yeah, well, it's gonna take a lot more

780
00:48:09,887 --> 00:48:12,765
than a naked woman on a rope
to make me feel safe.

781
00:48:13,307 --> 00:48:15,768
Now, if it was made of pure chocolate

782
00:48:15,851 --> 00:48:17,812
and I could eat it in case of emergency,

783
00:48:17,895 --> 00:48:19,105
then maybe.

784
00:48:19,188 --> 00:48:20,314
Can we eat?

785
00:48:21,399 --> 00:48:23,401
And so, my therapist thinks
what I should do is,

786
00:48:23,484 --> 00:48:24,402
like, see it as a way

787
00:48:24,485 --> 00:48:26,445
as opening up to the truth, you know?

788
00:48:26,529 --> 00:48:28,906
Well, it's all about revealing yourself.

789
00:48:28,989 --> 00:48:31,075
I mean, the camera
knows when you're faking it.

790
00:48:31,158 --> 00:48:34,120
That makes cameras
a lot smarter than men, doesn't it?

791
00:48:34,203 --> 00:48:35,454
Well, your work is so...

792
00:48:35,538 --> 00:48:37,540
the women are so, like, comfortable,

793
00:48:37,623 --> 00:48:39,291
but they look really powerful.

794
00:48:39,375 --> 00:48:41,085
I don't think
I've ever seen that before.

795
00:48:41,168 --> 00:48:42,253
No, exactly.

796
00:48:42,336 --> 00:48:44,130
I'm interested in trying
to find a way for us

797
00:48:44,213 --> 00:48:46,757
to reclaim our sexuality and our bodies.

798
00:48:46,841 --> 00:48:47,842
Wow.

799
00:48:48,342 --> 00:48:49,760
Yo, looking good!

800
00:48:49,844 --> 00:48:50,845
Can I go?

801
00:48:51,262 --> 00:48:53,013
- Yo!
- Yo, I said, can I go?

802
00:48:53,514 --> 00:48:55,182
Yo, man, that's one thing I can't stand,

803
00:48:55,266 --> 00:48:56,892
is bitches acting all stuck up.

804
00:48:56,976 --> 00:48:58,185
Yeah, I know what I like.

805
00:48:58,269 --> 00:48:59,854
Hey, you, with the short skirt,

806
00:48:59,937 --> 00:49:00,938
slim goody!

807
00:49:01,605 --> 00:49:03,441
I'd like to give you some of what I got.

808
00:49:03,524 --> 00:49:04,622
You want some of what I got?

809
00:49:04,692 --> 00:49:06,986
Come on, come and get some of this.

810
00:49:08,737 --> 00:49:11,073
I think I got some bad stuff, man.

811
00:49:11,782 --> 00:49:14,076
Bobby always be lying about the needle,

812
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:15,369
shit wasn't clean.

813
00:49:16,203 --> 00:49:17,580
Ugh, come on baby.

814
00:49:18,289 --> 00:49:20,583
Ugh, you want a quickie?

815
00:49:21,167 --> 00:49:24,628
Come on, baby,
I ain't got no sores right now, ugh.

816
00:49:24,712 --> 00:49:26,547
Let's get the fuck out of here.

817
00:49:26,922 --> 00:49:27,882
Come on.

818
00:49:27,965 --> 00:49:28,966
Asshole!

819
00:49:30,050 --> 00:49:31,051
Shit.

820
00:49:34,138 --> 00:49:35,139
I gotta go.

821
00:49:35,222 --> 00:49:38,309
- I thought you were hungry?
- I can't, I just can't.

822
00:49:49,236 --> 00:49:51,780
What you do on film
has a lot more impact

823
00:49:51,864 --> 00:49:53,365
than what you do on the stage.

824
00:49:53,449 --> 00:49:56,327
I mean, photographic images
hold a tremendous power.

825
00:49:56,410 --> 00:49:58,537
I mean, why do you suppose
that guy said those things

826
00:49:58,621 --> 00:50:00,164
to you back there on the street?

827
00:50:00,247 --> 00:50:02,374
He's an idiot, that's my guess,
what's yours?

828
00:50:02,458 --> 00:50:04,418
Media, media images of women

829
00:50:04,502 --> 00:50:06,045
half naked and prone.

830
00:50:06,128 --> 00:50:07,671
What are you trying to say, exactly?

831
00:50:07,755 --> 00:50:09,006
I'm not trying to say anything.

832
00:50:09,089 --> 00:50:10,799
- Yes, you are.
- No, I'm not.

833
00:50:11,091 --> 00:50:13,469
- Hey, Diana, how are you?
- Hi, how are you doing?

834
00:50:13,552 --> 00:50:15,554
I'm pretty good, pretty good.

835
00:50:15,638 --> 00:50:17,473
Let me introduce you
to my friend Cicely.

836
00:50:17,556 --> 00:50:18,432
Rae, Cicely.

837
00:50:18,516 --> 00:50:19,767
- Nice to meet you.
- You, too.

838
00:50:19,850 --> 00:50:20,768
How's the food?

839
00:50:20,851 --> 00:50:23,020
Oh, it's great, it's healthy, low fat,

840
00:50:23,103 --> 00:50:24,021
just the way I like it.

841
00:50:24,104 --> 00:50:25,105
Good, good.

842
00:50:25,439 --> 00:50:27,691
- The place looks fabulous.
- Oh, thanks a lot.

843
00:50:27,775 --> 00:50:29,485
You know, I was thinking,
I'd love to have

844
00:50:29,568 --> 00:50:30,986
some of your pieces up in here.

845
00:50:31,070 --> 00:50:32,613
Okay, I love hearing that, you know.

846
00:50:32,696 --> 00:50:34,406
Oh, honey, your work is so fabulous.

847
00:50:34,490 --> 00:50:35,824
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

848
00:50:35,908 --> 00:50:37,201
Listen, nice meeting you.

849
00:50:37,284 --> 00:50:38,244
- You, too.
- Take care.

850
00:50:38,327 --> 00:50:39,495
Okay, we'll see you.

851
00:50:40,412 --> 00:50:42,665
I hope you're not saying
what I think you're saying.

852
00:50:42,748 --> 00:50:44,542
- What?
- That just because

853
00:50:44,625 --> 00:50:46,085
a woman is sexy in a film,

854
00:50:46,168 --> 00:50:47,878
and an asshole like that goes to see it,

855
00:50:47,962 --> 00:50:49,964
he now has the right
to grab his crotch and say,

856
00:50:50,047 --> 00:50:51,715
"Let me give you some of this?"

857
00:50:51,799 --> 00:50:53,926
No, I'm simply saying that that asshole

858
00:50:54,009 --> 00:50:56,595
is the product of a society
that exploits women.

859
00:50:56,679 --> 00:50:58,055
It's not totally his fault.

860
00:50:58,138 --> 00:50:59,848
Well, whose fault is it, mine?

861
00:50:59,932 --> 00:51:02,268
All I was doing was walking
down the street.

862
00:51:02,351 --> 00:51:03,686
And as for your brother's film,

863
00:51:03,769 --> 00:51:06,188
Winsome has the nude scene, not me.

864
00:51:06,272 --> 00:51:08,357
Keeping your clothes on
is really not the point...

865
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:09,733
I mean, you're the one who's got

866
00:51:09,817 --> 00:51:11,986
naked women hanging all over your walls.

867
00:51:12,069 --> 00:51:13,362
Look, there's a huge difference

868
00:51:13,445 --> 00:51:16,198
between artistic nudity
and exploitation, okay?

869
00:51:16,282 --> 00:51:17,950
- And in my work...
- Excuse me,

870
00:51:18,033 --> 00:51:20,035
but a naked body is a naked body.

871
00:51:20,119 --> 00:51:22,329
You don't know the difference,
that's your problem.

872
00:51:22,413 --> 00:51:24,206
I don't have any problem.

873
00:51:24,707 --> 00:51:26,542
So then, why are you getting so upset?

874
00:51:26,625 --> 00:51:28,085
'Cause I don't like your attitude,

875
00:51:28,168 --> 00:51:30,296
and I'm tired of people
acting like I have a problem

876
00:51:30,379 --> 00:51:33,132
just 'cause I don't wanna take
my clothes off in a film!

877
00:51:33,215 --> 00:51:35,759
Look, I'm just trying to help
a sister's spirit

878
00:51:35,843 --> 00:51:38,304
come to a better
understanding of herself.

879
00:51:38,470 --> 00:51:41,265
Well, I'm not looking
for a sister spirit, okay?

880
00:51:44,018 --> 00:51:47,146
- Damn, what's that all about?
- Hey, girl, take it off.

881
00:51:47,229 --> 00:51:48,814
Interrupting my lunch, man.

882
00:51:50,190 --> 00:51:51,900
Shh, she's coming right back.

883
00:51:59,450 --> 00:52:00,451
Sorry.

884
00:52:03,621 --> 00:52:04,622
I lied.

885
00:52:07,541 --> 00:52:10,502
I really could use a sister spirit
right about now.

886
00:52:14,131 --> 00:52:15,090
You're gonna learn,

887
00:52:15,174 --> 00:52:17,301
the longer you live
with this new body of yours,

888
00:52:17,384 --> 00:52:18,719
whatever it looks like,

889
00:52:18,802 --> 00:52:20,262
you're gonna have to deal with it.

890
00:52:20,346 --> 00:52:22,014
I mean, believe me, I know.

891
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:25,851
Listen, do you wanna go
to the Boston Comedy Club tonight?

892
00:52:25,934 --> 00:52:28,187
There's this diva comic playing there.

893
00:52:30,981 --> 00:52:31,981
Yeah?

894
00:52:33,359 --> 00:52:35,611
Yeah, so,
I went to this man's house for a drink,

895
00:52:35,694 --> 00:52:38,113
and right away he assumed
he's gonna get some.

896
00:52:38,197 --> 00:52:39,490
You know, I got really angry.

897
00:52:39,573 --> 00:52:41,492
I put my panties back on and I left.

898
00:52:43,369 --> 00:52:44,495
He had nerve enough to have

899
00:52:44,578 --> 00:52:45,829
mirrors all up on the ceiling,

900
00:52:45,913 --> 00:52:47,039
like I wanted to lay there

901
00:52:47,122 --> 00:52:48,457
and watch myself fake it,

902
00:52:48,540 --> 00:52:49,750
I don't think so.

903
00:52:52,294 --> 00:52:53,295
Thanks.

904
00:52:55,339 --> 00:52:56,256
You're welcome.

905
00:52:56,340 --> 00:52:57,341
Thank you.

906
00:53:00,678 --> 00:53:02,805
So, do you always go into attack mode

907
00:53:02,888 --> 00:53:05,974
when a friend of yours
says something you don't like?

908
00:53:07,226 --> 00:53:09,687
I don't have much experience
with friends.

909
00:53:10,187 --> 00:53:11,438
Well, I can see that.

910
00:53:12,272 --> 00:53:13,691
Someone... I didn't tell you guys,

911
00:53:13,774 --> 00:53:15,693
someone tried to steal my car.

912
00:53:15,776 --> 00:53:16,985
But fortunately they didn't,

913
00:53:17,069 --> 00:53:19,238
'cause I had this really
great car alarm.

914
00:53:19,321 --> 00:53:21,782
You know, the Whitney Houston car alarm?

915
00:53:21,865 --> 00:53:23,951

919
00:53:31,875 --> 00:53:33,419
Took ten years, you know?

920
00:53:33,502 --> 00:53:34,503
What?

921
00:53:35,504 --> 00:53:38,215
Ten years to take off all the weight.

922
00:53:40,801 --> 00:53:44,096
Ten years of bizarre diets
and all sorts of pills.

923
00:53:44,179 --> 00:53:45,939
I took so much speed
for a couple of years...

924
00:53:46,014 --> 00:53:49,017
You know, Cece,
why don't you let me photograph you?

925
00:53:51,770 --> 00:53:53,772
Oh, no, I don't think so.

926
00:53:54,273 --> 00:53:56,400
I think it'd be really good for you.

927
00:53:57,693 --> 00:53:58,944
No, I don't know.

928
00:53:59,987 --> 00:54:00,988
Listen.

929
00:54:01,530 --> 00:54:03,782
Why don't you go to my studio
and chill out?

930
00:54:03,866 --> 00:54:05,242
Take a look at my work.

931
00:54:06,785 --> 00:54:09,079
But really look at the images, okay?

932
00:54:09,163 --> 00:54:10,998
And then tell me what you wanna do.

933
00:55:15,854 --> 00:55:17,231
- Hi.
- Did you do this?

934
00:55:17,940 --> 00:55:19,107
Yes, I did.

935
00:55:19,191 --> 00:55:20,359
50 bucks.

936
00:55:22,277 --> 00:55:23,529
It's not so bad.

937
00:55:23,612 --> 00:55:25,572
Yeah, I know, it's a great price.

938
00:55:27,533 --> 00:55:29,952
No, that wasn't
what I was talking about.

939
00:55:33,789 --> 00:55:35,457
Give it to you for 40 bucks.

940
00:55:57,062 --> 00:55:58,063
Mm-hm.

941
00:55:58,772 --> 00:56:00,652
The thrust of the scene
is that you have to show

942
00:56:00,732 --> 00:56:02,526
a real desire to be his model.

943
00:56:02,609 --> 00:56:05,070
It's like a teacher-student
relationship, really.

944
00:56:05,153 --> 00:56:06,530
Yeah, well, the way that I see it,

945
00:56:06,613 --> 00:56:07,948
it's just about this artist

946
00:56:08,031 --> 00:56:09,992
trying to further his career,
and he thinks that

947
00:56:10,075 --> 00:56:11,785
hooking up with these girls is the way.

948
00:56:11,869 --> 00:56:12,744
Will you listen?

949
00:56:12,828 --> 00:56:14,246
An artist and his models

950
00:56:14,329 --> 00:56:16,248
is like a choreographer and his dancers,

951
00:56:16,331 --> 00:56:18,375
or a conductor and his divas.

952
00:56:18,876 --> 00:56:21,795
He is the creator,
and she is the conduit, you know?

953
00:56:21,879 --> 00:56:23,422
Yeah, mm-hm.

954
00:56:23,505 --> 00:56:25,591
Sort of like a director
and his actresses?

955
00:56:25,674 --> 00:56:26,717
It can be.

956
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,969
It's like the two form this force,
this unit,

957
00:56:29,052 --> 00:56:30,721
that nobody can fuck with.

958
00:56:32,264 --> 00:56:33,390
I wonder...

959
00:56:34,308 --> 00:56:36,310
Now, what's that supposed to mean?

960
00:56:37,728 --> 00:56:39,813
Well, you know,
it's just that I think that,

961
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:42,858
all men demand something from women.

962
00:56:43,609 --> 00:56:45,736
Now, that's a hell of an indictment.

963
00:56:46,278 --> 00:56:48,530
Well, that's just the way that I feel.

964
00:56:49,740 --> 00:56:51,533
So you feel that way about me?

965
00:56:53,535 --> 00:56:54,828
You have your motives.

966
00:56:56,038 --> 00:56:57,080
My motives?

967
00:56:58,415 --> 00:56:59,750
Well, like, you want me

968
00:56:59,833 --> 00:57:01,627
to do certain things in this film

969
00:57:01,710 --> 00:57:03,086
that'll help make it sell,

970
00:57:03,170 --> 00:57:05,672
so that'll help make you look good.

971
00:57:05,756 --> 00:57:06,965
It'll help you look good,

972
00:57:07,049 --> 00:57:08,133
so what's wrong with that?

973
00:57:08,216 --> 00:57:09,301
Nothing.

974
00:57:09,801 --> 00:57:12,220
It just proves my point,
you want something from me.

975
00:57:12,304 --> 00:57:14,640
Everybody is after something, baby.

976
00:57:15,641 --> 00:57:16,642
Exactly.

977
00:57:17,059 --> 00:57:18,143
And that includes you.

978
00:57:18,226 --> 00:57:21,897
Look, don't equate me
with some asshole in the street.

979
00:57:33,659 --> 00:57:34,785
I didn't mean to insult you.

980
00:57:34,868 --> 00:57:36,036
Yeah, well, you did.

981
00:57:38,372 --> 00:57:39,373
Forgive me?

982
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,251
Gimme a reason to.

983
00:57:43,335 --> 00:57:46,672
I'll give you some
of my broccoli and garlic sauce.

984
00:57:46,755 --> 00:57:49,758
I don't want none
of your broccoli and garlic sauce.

985
00:58:12,572 --> 00:58:14,116
This is so strange.

986
00:58:16,368 --> 00:58:18,704
I lose all this weight,

987
00:58:19,371 --> 00:58:21,748
become this other person, really, and...

988
00:58:23,542 --> 00:58:25,127
who do I find myself...

989
00:58:27,045 --> 00:58:29,464
- Falling...
- In love with?

990
00:58:33,677 --> 00:58:34,678
Again.

991
00:58:38,181 --> 00:58:40,017
Nothing like old friends, baby.

992
00:58:51,778 --> 00:58:52,779
Oh, I forgot.

993
00:58:53,864 --> 00:58:55,657
I do the striptease.

994
00:59:18,972 --> 00:59:20,766
Just let me unbutton it, Cece.

995
00:59:23,727 --> 00:59:26,521
You can't hide behind
your clothes forever, baby.

996
00:59:44,081 --> 00:59:45,207
Turn out the light!

997
01:00:06,436 --> 01:00:09,106
How come you didn't tell me
about this before?

998
01:00:13,318 --> 01:00:15,112
Am I the only one you've told?

999
01:00:18,907 --> 01:00:20,117
What about your mom?

1000
01:00:27,999 --> 01:00:29,167
Cece.

1001
01:00:30,043 --> 01:00:32,629
Don't you think it's about time
you tell her?

1002
01:00:33,713 --> 01:00:34,756
What's wrong?

1003
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:36,842
We're gonna be late for rehearsal.

1004
01:00:41,429 --> 01:00:42,973
All right, go.

1005
01:00:43,056 --> 01:00:43,932
Okay, everybody.

1006
01:00:44,015 --> 01:00:45,475
We've got a shitload of work to do

1007
01:00:45,559 --> 01:00:46,726
in three short days.

1008
01:00:48,311 --> 01:00:49,688
Hard enough for me to do my job

1009
01:00:49,771 --> 01:00:51,648
when the producer
keeps making cast changes

1010
01:00:51,731 --> 01:00:53,108
without letting me know.

1011
01:00:53,191 --> 01:00:54,901
If you were doing your job,

1012
01:00:54,985 --> 01:00:56,444
you'd have made those changes.

1013
01:00:56,528 --> 01:00:57,904
<i>That Randi woman was awful.</i>

1014
01:00:57,988 --> 01:01:00,323
But to have offered
Cece's role to Winsome

1015
01:01:00,407 --> 01:01:02,159
without even discussing it
with me first,

1016
01:01:02,242 --> 01:01:03,618
that was wrong, totally wack!

1017
01:01:03,702 --> 01:01:04,995
I'm the producer.

1018
01:01:05,078 --> 01:01:06,746
Nothing I do is wrong.

1019
01:01:06,830 --> 01:01:08,165
You expect me to switch roles

1020
01:01:08,248 --> 01:01:10,709
like this is some kind of game
of musical chairs.

1021
01:01:10,792 --> 01:01:13,086
I cast each actress
according to the part written.

1022
01:01:13,170 --> 01:01:14,629
This is why I had Cece...

1023
01:01:14,713 --> 01:01:16,840
Anyone who doesn't like it may quit.

1024
01:01:18,133 --> 01:01:21,011
That would put you
in a bit of jam, wouldn't it?

1025
01:01:21,094 --> 01:01:23,680
That would force me
to push back production, yes.

1026
01:01:23,763 --> 01:01:25,932
I'd still make my film, however.

1027
01:01:26,016 --> 01:01:28,351
I'd just find a new, equally hungry

1028
01:01:28,435 --> 01:01:31,313
yet far more grateful group
of unemployed artists

1029
01:01:31,396 --> 01:01:32,314
to work with.

1030
01:01:32,397 --> 01:01:33,398
Okay.

1031
01:01:37,903 --> 01:01:38,904
Winsome.

1032
01:01:43,700 --> 01:01:44,701
Action.

1033
01:01:45,285 --> 01:01:48,580
Uh, did he tell you
what I think he told you?

1034
01:01:49,581 --> 01:01:50,665
About us?

1035
01:01:52,417 --> 01:01:53,960
I don't know what's wrong.

1036
01:01:54,836 --> 01:01:56,796
The way he used to study my body,

1037
01:01:57,214 --> 01:01:59,716
stroke the canvas with his brush.

1038
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:02,636
I really felt like
he was making love to me

1039
01:02:02,719 --> 01:02:04,471
through the work, you know?

1040
01:02:05,263 --> 01:02:08,141
Now, it's...
it's like he's impotent or something.

1041
01:02:08,808 --> 01:02:11,102
He can't paint me the way he used to.

1042
01:02:13,021 --> 01:02:16,983
Walter wants me to pose
for him now, Lucretia.

1043
01:02:17,609 --> 01:02:18,610
What?

1044
01:02:19,027 --> 01:02:20,320
What did you just say?

1045
01:02:20,737 --> 01:02:21,738
What?

1046
01:02:22,113 --> 01:02:24,366
How could you say something like that?

1047
01:02:25,075 --> 01:02:26,076
How could you?

1048
01:02:26,159 --> 01:02:28,453
Lucretia, try to understand.

1049
01:02:29,287 --> 01:02:32,249
It's just... he sees something
new in my body. I mean...

1050
01:02:32,332 --> 01:02:33,250
No.

1051
01:02:33,333 --> 01:02:35,168
You want him to keep
exploring in his work,

1052
01:02:35,252 --> 01:02:36,253
don't you?

1053
01:02:37,087 --> 01:02:38,630
That was good, Cece.

1054
01:02:38,713 --> 01:02:41,132
- Very good.
- What do I look like to you?

1055
01:02:42,133 --> 01:02:44,594
That scene calls for tears, real tears!

1056
01:02:44,678 --> 01:02:46,012
If you can't emote on cue,

1057
01:02:46,096 --> 01:02:48,223
you have no business
calling yourself an actress.

1058
01:02:48,306 --> 01:02:51,101
Look. As long as Joel
gets the performance he wants,

1059
01:02:51,184 --> 01:02:52,602
what's the big deal?

1060
01:02:52,686 --> 01:02:54,521
The big deal is fakery fills the air

1061
01:02:54,604 --> 01:02:56,106
and I won't stand for it!

1062
01:02:59,150 --> 01:03:01,486
Look, Mr. Brown, let me handle this.

1063
01:03:01,569 --> 01:03:03,488
We can use glycerine spray
for her close-ups.

1064
01:03:03,571 --> 01:03:04,781
Absolutely not!

1065
01:03:04,864 --> 01:03:07,158
You just don't like me, do you?

1066
01:03:07,242 --> 01:03:10,036
My feelings about you,
young lady, are not the point.

1067
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,330
You're sabotaging my film!

1068
01:03:12,414 --> 01:03:15,333
- That is the point.
- My scenes are fine.

1069
01:03:15,417 --> 01:03:17,752
You just insist on every actor
being just like you,

1070
01:03:17,836 --> 01:03:20,463
but your method is not
the only way, you know?

1071
01:03:20,547 --> 01:03:23,800
My method, I'll have you know,
is a delicate mixture

1072
01:03:23,883 --> 01:03:25,844
of Meisner and my own invention.

1073
01:03:25,927 --> 01:03:27,512
You, on the other hand, have no method.

1074
01:03:27,595 --> 01:03:29,723
You're as genuine as those tears
you couldn't shed.

1075
01:03:29,806 --> 01:03:30,862
Why do we have to go there?

1076
01:03:30,932 --> 01:03:33,240
- You don't have to get personal.
- Ah, but it is personal!

1077
01:03:33,310 --> 01:03:34,436
That's exactly what it is!

1078
01:03:36,396 --> 01:03:38,106
Dammit, Winsome, what is it now?

1079
01:03:38,189 --> 01:03:41,401
Well, this is just all so hard!

1080
01:03:43,403 --> 01:03:45,488
I am gonna be an actress no matter what,

1081
01:03:45,572 --> 01:03:47,324
and you cannot stop me.

1082
01:03:47,407 --> 01:03:50,660
No. But I can give you some advice.

1083
01:03:51,870 --> 01:03:54,539
Go back to your mother's video store.

1084
01:03:55,165 --> 01:03:57,250
At least that would be honest work.

1085
01:04:04,424 --> 01:04:06,468
I can't go back!

1086
01:04:08,762 --> 01:04:12,557
My mother is waitin' for me
to fail at this.

1087
01:04:14,476 --> 01:04:16,061
This is all I have.

1088
01:04:18,355 --> 01:04:19,898
I can't go back!

1089
01:04:25,403 --> 01:04:26,905
Do your lines again, Cece.

1090
01:04:26,988 --> 01:04:29,824
Go ahead, just do it, please!

1091
01:04:30,575 --> 01:04:31,576
Just do it.

1092
01:04:35,997 --> 01:04:37,040
Lucretia.

1093
01:04:38,583 --> 01:04:39,918
Try to understand.

1094
01:04:41,836 --> 01:04:45,048
He sees... some...

1095
01:04:47,384 --> 01:04:48,718
At this moment,

1096
01:04:48,802 --> 01:04:52,472
you'd make your grandmother
very proud, young lady.

1097
01:04:53,431 --> 01:04:54,849
I gotta get out of here.

1098
01:04:55,809 --> 01:04:56,851
Come on, let's go.

1099
01:05:01,898 --> 01:05:03,691
Yeah, so this is where I come

1100
01:05:03,775 --> 01:05:05,235
when I feel those negative vibes

1101
01:05:05,318 --> 01:05:06,861
closing in on me.

1102
01:05:06,945 --> 01:05:09,197
I used to just eat
a bag of chocolate chip cookies

1103
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:10,573
when I felt this way.

1104
01:05:15,620 --> 01:05:17,997
Here. Here you are, enjoy.

1105
01:05:18,081 --> 01:05:19,624
Good afternoon, Diana, how are you?

1106
01:05:19,707 --> 01:05:20,542
How you doing?

1107
01:05:20,625 --> 01:05:21,584
Hi.

1108
01:05:21,668 --> 01:05:23,294
So, we're here for the usual.

1109
01:05:23,378 --> 01:05:25,797
- The usual, okay.
- Sauna and massage.

1110
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:27,090
Oh, great, okay.

1111
01:05:27,966 --> 01:05:29,134
Here are your towels.

1112
01:05:29,217 --> 01:05:30,969
This is gonna be great for you.

1113
01:05:31,052 --> 01:05:33,138
You'll be able to get rid
of all the dirt and toxins

1114
01:05:33,221 --> 01:05:35,890
in your skin, and you're gonna feel
marvelous after this.

1115
01:05:35,974 --> 01:05:37,851
Oh. I'm gonna need a bathing suit.

1116
01:05:37,934 --> 01:05:39,894
You don't need a bathing suit
in a sauna.

1117
01:05:39,978 --> 01:05:41,813
It's women's day today anyway.

1118
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,150
If you have a bathing suit,
I'd like to have it.

1119
01:05:45,233 --> 01:05:47,819
I'll see, I'll look,
see what I can find.

1120
01:05:47,902 --> 01:05:49,320
- Thanks a lot.
- Thanks.

1121
01:05:50,155 --> 01:05:51,239
I mean, it's all women.

1122
01:05:51,322 --> 01:05:52,907
I mean, it's not really a problem.

1123
01:05:52,991 --> 01:05:54,242
You come here a lot?

1124
01:05:54,325 --> 01:05:56,494
- Yeah, three days a week.
- Will this do?

1125
01:05:56,578 --> 01:05:57,704
Oh yeah, great, thanks.

1126
01:05:57,787 --> 01:05:58,872
Okay, you're welcome.

1127
01:05:58,955 --> 01:06:01,499
- There's soap and a razor.
- Let's grab some soap.

1128
01:06:01,583 --> 01:06:02,834
Here you are.

1129
01:06:02,917 --> 01:06:04,794
- And a razor.
- What's that for?

1130
01:06:04,878 --> 01:06:06,629
In case I need to commit suicide.

1131
01:06:17,557 --> 01:06:19,726
You can just totally relax in here.

1132
01:07:01,559 --> 01:07:03,436
Getting too hot in here for you?

1133
01:07:04,646 --> 01:07:06,022
A little.

1134
01:07:07,315 --> 01:07:09,901
Do you wanna take a dip in the,
uh, ice pool?

1135
01:07:10,568 --> 01:07:12,529
No, I don't know how to swim.

1136
01:07:14,572 --> 01:07:15,990
Didn't you take swimming lessons

1137
01:07:16,074 --> 01:07:17,492
when you were in school?

1138
01:07:18,576 --> 01:07:21,329
In junior high, but I hated it.

1139
01:07:22,997 --> 01:07:23,998
Why?

1140
01:07:27,418 --> 01:07:29,254
Getting undressed
in front of all the girls

1141
01:07:29,337 --> 01:07:30,880
in the locker room.

1142
01:07:32,090 --> 01:07:33,716
The communal showers.

1143
01:07:34,509 --> 01:07:35,635
Cece.

1144
01:07:36,636 --> 01:07:38,221
Take off your bathing suit.

1145
01:07:41,641 --> 01:07:42,725
No.

1146
01:07:44,644 --> 01:07:45,895
You don't understand.

1147
01:07:46,646 --> 01:07:49,023
You're right. I don't understand.

1148
01:07:49,774 --> 01:07:52,026
I still feel ugly.

1149
01:07:56,739 --> 01:07:58,283
And dirty.

1150
01:08:00,493 --> 01:08:01,869
Whatever this is about,

1151
01:08:03,371 --> 01:08:05,373
it's time to stop feeling ashamed.

1152
01:08:06,374 --> 01:08:08,126
I mean, just look around you.

1153
01:08:08,209 --> 01:08:10,670
There's nothing to feel bad
about in here.

1154
01:08:11,045 --> 01:08:13,172
Just not used to this sort of thing.

1155
01:09:24,369 --> 01:09:25,370
Mm.

1156
01:09:37,298 --> 01:09:38,675
Oh, the light.

1157
01:09:38,758 --> 01:09:40,718
It's okay.

1158
01:09:40,802 --> 01:09:43,012

any more weight, baby.

1183
01:12:02,151 --> 01:12:03,194
Why not?

1184
01:12:03,277 --> 01:12:06,239
I think I kinda like you
with a little more meat on you.

1185
01:12:06,322 --> 01:12:08,074
Something to grab onto.

1186
01:12:10,910 --> 01:12:12,995
Yeah, well,
I see someone who could stand

1187
01:12:13,079 --> 01:12:14,914
to do a few sit-ups.

1188
01:12:15,873 --> 01:12:16,916
Who?

1189
01:12:17,708 --> 01:12:18,709
Me?

1190
01:12:19,794 --> 01:12:22,588
These abs are lookin' a little flabby.

1191
01:12:24,423 --> 01:12:26,092
But I still like them.

1192
01:12:37,019 --> 01:12:38,771
Let me turn this light off.

1193
01:12:44,443 --> 01:12:46,279
Ow!

1194
01:12:47,738 --> 01:12:48,739
Ow.

1195
01:12:50,783 --> 01:12:52,660
- Keep going.
- Clear the frame.

1196
01:12:52,743 --> 01:12:53,786
Roll sound!

1197
01:12:53,870 --> 01:12:54,871
Speak!

1198
01:12:54,954 --> 01:12:57,039
Body of Art, scene 16, take 2.

1199
01:12:57,123 --> 01:12:59,083
Mark it!

1200
01:13:00,543 --> 01:13:01,544
Frame.

1201
01:13:01,878 --> 01:13:02,920
Action.

1202
01:13:03,504 --> 01:13:06,173
I Knew you'd be the perfect model
for my work.

1203
01:13:07,216 --> 01:13:10,803
It's figurative
but not representational.

1204
01:13:10,887 --> 01:13:12,346
Been working on a few sketches here

1205
01:13:12,430 --> 01:13:14,473
that are not really finished, but...

1206
01:13:14,557 --> 01:13:15,516
What do you think?

1207
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,393
It's organic.

1208
01:13:17,476 --> 01:13:19,770
It's got a real sort of vibrancy.

1209
01:13:19,854 --> 01:13:21,939
- It's you.
- It's totally me!

1210
01:13:22,023 --> 01:13:23,441
Good, good.

1211
01:13:24,775 --> 01:13:27,153
- Can you start right away?
- Cut!

1212
01:13:27,445 --> 01:13:29,280
- How'd it go?
- Okay.

1213
01:13:29,363 --> 01:13:31,157
You know, Mr. Brown,

1214
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:33,034
you might think about how you tell Elena

1215
01:13:33,117 --> 01:13:35,161
that you want her
to be your model, you know?

1216
01:13:35,244 --> 01:13:38,039
- Be more casual about the...
- You're tardy.

1217
01:13:38,122 --> 01:13:40,750
That's a nasty habit for an actor,
young lady.

1218
01:13:40,833 --> 01:13:42,001
Cece, listen, I...

1219
01:13:42,084 --> 01:13:45,338
You gave Winsome my part behind my back

1220
01:13:45,421 --> 01:13:46,464
after all?

1221
01:13:46,547 --> 01:13:47,465
It wasn't me this time.

1222
01:13:47,548 --> 01:13:49,884
I had to make a directorial decision.

1223
01:13:50,718 --> 01:13:53,804
Winsome realized she couldn't
handle the nude scenes.

1224
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:57,558
What, your guru therapist
changed your mind again?

1225
01:13:58,351 --> 01:14:00,770
No, I-I changed my own mind this time.

1226
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:03,105
Get a couple of sandbags up here.

1227
01:14:03,189 --> 01:14:05,524
We need to weigh down the grip stand.

1228
01:14:09,946 --> 01:14:11,364
Look. Winsome was freakin' out.

1229
01:14:11,447 --> 01:14:13,407
I had to make a decision
to save the production.

1230
01:14:13,491 --> 01:14:15,826
I don't believe this.
I don't believe you!

1231
01:14:15,910 --> 01:14:17,870
I was on the phone
for an hour with her therapist.

1232
01:14:17,954 --> 01:14:18,788
That didn't help.

1233
01:14:18,871 --> 01:14:21,248
- I don't fuckin' believe you!
- Besides.

1234
01:14:21,499 --> 01:14:22,917
After the other night...

1235
01:14:23,751 --> 01:14:26,128
I just felt you were ready for this now.

1236
01:14:26,712 --> 01:14:29,173
I can tell you felt better
about your body.

1237
01:14:29,382 --> 01:14:32,176
You're gonna thank me for this later,
you watch.

1238
01:14:34,178 --> 01:14:35,012
What is this?

1239
01:14:35,096 --> 01:14:37,264
We're in the middle of shooting here.

1240
01:14:39,016 --> 01:14:40,059
We'll talk later, okay?

1241
01:14:40,142 --> 01:14:41,227
Just wait for me.

1242
01:14:42,144 --> 01:14:44,397
Were you planning this all along,
huh, Joel?

1243
01:14:44,480 --> 01:14:45,481
No.

1244
01:14:46,190 --> 01:14:47,191
No!

1245
01:14:47,858 --> 01:14:50,569
But I had to make a snap decision.

1246
01:14:50,653 --> 01:14:52,196
Dammit, Cece!

1247
01:14:52,279 --> 01:14:54,865
For once, why can't you look
at the position I'm in?

1248
01:14:54,949 --> 01:14:56,534
Well, it's funny how the snap decision

1249
01:14:56,617 --> 01:14:59,203
conveniently came
after I slept with you.

1250
01:15:00,246 --> 01:15:01,789
What is this mess?

1251
01:15:01,872 --> 01:15:03,541
First Randi, now Cicely?

1252
01:15:06,961 --> 01:15:07,962
Randi?

1253
01:15:08,879 --> 01:15:09,755
You slept with Randi?

1254
01:15:09,839 --> 01:15:12,216
I did not sleep with Randi, okay?

1255
01:15:12,299 --> 01:15:14,677
She told me
you were the reason she quit.

1256
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:15,928
Look, wait a minute.

1257
01:15:16,971 --> 01:15:18,264
- Ugh.
- Randi and I had a thing,

1258
01:15:18,347 --> 01:15:20,349
but that's been over a long time.

1259
01:15:20,433 --> 01:15:22,018
I told you about it.

1260
01:15:22,810 --> 01:15:24,770
She wanted to work with me again.

1261
01:15:25,021 --> 01:15:26,439
But not everybody is comfortable

1262
01:15:26,522 --> 01:15:27,690
in a situation with their ex.

1263
01:15:27,773 --> 01:15:29,080
I mean, what do you want me to do?

1264
01:15:29,150 --> 01:15:30,609
I don't fuckin' believe this!

1265
01:15:30,693 --> 01:15:32,278
Cece, wait a minute!

1266
01:15:32,361 --> 01:15:34,196
That camera's not even insured!

1267
01:15:34,655 --> 01:15:37,158
You're fired!
I'll direct this film my damn self.

1268
01:15:37,241 --> 01:15:38,784
Wait a minute, Mr. Brown, calm down.

1269
01:15:38,868 --> 01:15:40,036
Now, look, I'll go after her.

1270
01:15:40,119 --> 01:15:41,579
- We'll talk...
- Did you hear me?

1271
01:15:41,662 --> 01:15:43,581
You are fired!

1272
01:15:44,206 --> 01:15:46,459
Go back to a stage and some lights

1273
01:15:46,542 --> 01:15:49,128
where you can't do
any more damage, stupid!

1274
01:15:49,211 --> 01:15:51,839
Maybe she needs some more time,

1275
01:15:51,922 --> 01:15:52,923
you know?

1276
01:16:05,436 --> 01:16:06,479
Cece!

1277
01:16:07,480 --> 01:16:10,107
Oh, baby, it's good to see you, I was...

1278
01:16:12,193 --> 01:16:14,570
Well, so, how's the film going?

1279
01:16:15,488 --> 01:16:20,326
Why did you ever
take me away from Grandmama's?

1280
01:16:21,869 --> 01:16:22,870
An.

1281
01:16:23,913 --> 01:16:26,791
Obviously,
something went wrong on the set, huh?

1282
01:16:26,874 --> 01:16:28,542
Like I told you it would.

1283
01:16:28,626 --> 01:16:31,045
So, you come in here
to pick a fight with me,

1284
01:16:31,128 --> 01:16:32,046
is that right?

1285
01:16:32,129 --> 01:16:35,007
I asked you a simple question.

1286
01:16:35,883 --> 01:16:37,426
Well, I don't know what this is about,

1287
01:16:37,510 --> 01:16:39,762
but I really don't have time for this.

1288
01:16:40,930 --> 01:16:42,348
I was safe there.

1289
01:16:42,890 --> 01:16:43,891
Look.

1290
01:16:51,899 --> 01:16:54,151
Cece, I'm sorry about the last time.

1291
01:16:58,072 --> 01:17:00,324
And I really don't need this.

1292
01:17:00,407 --> 01:17:02,243
I don't know what your problem is.

1293
01:17:02,326 --> 01:17:03,869
My problem?

1294
01:17:04,870 --> 01:17:10,751
My problem...
is that you were hardly ever home.

1295
01:17:13,337 --> 01:17:14,672
And I needed you.

1296
01:17:17,716 --> 01:17:19,176
Daddy was gone.

1297
01:17:21,095 --> 01:17:22,221
Yeah, that's right.

1298
01:17:23,180 --> 01:17:25,099
And I was out there
tryin' to make a living

1299
01:17:25,182 --> 01:17:26,684
just to take care of you!

1300
01:17:27,643 --> 01:17:30,354
I don't even know
why we're talking about this!

1301
01:17:30,688 --> 01:17:32,439
When I first started gaining weight,

1302
01:17:32,523 --> 01:17:35,860
I thought... I thought, "Well, at least

1303
01:17:35,943 --> 01:17:39,613
she will notice me now."

1304
01:17:40,197 --> 01:17:41,407
But you know what?

1305
01:17:44,118 --> 01:17:47,163
Bein' big made me different from you!

1306
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,291
Oh, Cece.

1307
01:17:52,084 --> 01:17:55,254
Is that what you've been feeling
all these years?

1308
01:17:58,007 --> 01:18:00,968
Oh, baby, I loved you no matter what.

1309
01:18:01,051 --> 01:18:02,428
Yeah, well...

1310
01:18:04,722 --> 01:18:07,308
You didn't love me enough to protect me.

1311
01:18:08,475 --> 01:18:10,019
Protect you from what?

1312
01:18:10,895 --> 01:18:12,563
From Ronnie.

1313
01:18:12,646 --> 01:18:14,148
Ronnie?

1314
01:18:15,983 --> 01:18:17,526
Cece, what are you talk...

1315
01:18:19,153 --> 01:18:21,864
Oh, God, Lydia!

1316
01:18:23,032 --> 01:18:27,161
Don't tell me that you did not know!

1317
01:18:28,662 --> 01:18:30,748
You had to know!

1318
01:18:31,373 --> 01:18:33,000
Lord, child, as God is my witness,

1319
01:18:33,083 --> 01:18:35,377
I do not know what you...

1320
01:18:40,216 --> 01:18:42,092
Did he do something to hurt you?

1321
01:18:42,259 --> 01:18:43,510
Sweet Ronnie?

1322
01:18:46,180 --> 01:18:48,224
He was good to me.

1323
01:18:48,307 --> 01:18:49,892
He was good to us!

1324
01:18:52,311 --> 01:18:53,312
Oh, really?

1325
01:18:54,063 --> 01:18:55,272
Yeah, well...

1326
01:18:56,440 --> 01:18:59,568
While you were out

1327
01:19:00,986 --> 01:19:03,030
becoming a movie star,

1328
01:19:04,073 --> 01:19:06,992
Sweet Ronnie...

1329
01:19:13,707 --> 01:19:14,708
Oh, yeah.

1330
01:19:16,502 --> 01:19:18,003
Do you remember this one?

1331
01:19:20,005 --> 01:19:22,258
It's Your Thing, yeah, well,

1332
01:19:22,841 --> 01:19:25,928
during this one,
it was just a little feel, you know?

1333
01:19:26,136 --> 01:19:27,846
Just my breasts.

1334
01:19:31,684 --> 01:19:34,228
Oh, Gimme Some Good.

1335
01:19:34,311 --> 01:19:38,065
Now, that...
that was Lydia Love hit number three.

1336
01:19:39,191 --> 01:19:41,485
Yeah, because by that time,

1337
01:19:41,568 --> 01:19:43,445
<i>you were poppin' them out
every six months,</i>

1338
01:19:43,529 --> 01:19:45,614
those films were such high quality.

1339
01:19:45,698 --> 01:19:47,157
But that man...

1340
01:19:48,284 --> 01:19:51,996
That man was making me touch him!

1341
01:19:57,042 --> 01:19:59,586
And by the time you really hit it big,

1342
01:19:59,670 --> 01:20:00,671
you hit it big...

1343
01:20:02,631 --> 01:20:05,134
with Cool Mama, by then,

1344
01:20:05,676 --> 01:20:09,013
we had the routine down flat.

1345
01:20:14,601 --> 01:20:19,189
And we were doing
all those things at once!

1346
01:20:19,982 --> 01:20:21,567
Oh, God!

1347
01:20:24,653 --> 01:20:25,529
No, baby!

1348
01:20:25,612 --> 01:20:27,448
Oh, God!

1349
01:20:36,290 --> 01:20:37,458
I didn't know!

1350
01:20:38,375 --> 01:20:41,587
Please, Cece, Cece, Cece, Cece.

1351
01:20:41,670 --> 01:20:43,630
Mama didn't know, I didn't know!

1352
01:20:47,051 --> 01:20:49,803
You motherfucker!

1353
01:24:35,654 --> 01:24:36,822
Dear Lydia.

1354
01:24:38,448 --> 01:24:40,325
A lot of things are hard to say,

1355
01:24:41,159 --> 01:24:43,704
and I've been afraid of a lot of things

1356
01:24:43,787 --> 01:24:45,330
for a long time, you know?

1357
01:24:46,456 --> 01:24:48,584
But I don't wanna be afraid anymore.

1358
01:24:49,835 --> 01:24:53,338
I guess I never really
felt good enough.

1359
01:24:53,422 --> 01:24:54,256
I don't know.

1360
01:24:54,339 --> 01:24:58,427
Smart enough, pretty enough,
even nice enough.

1361
01:24:59,886 --> 01:25:01,972
And although I still don't feel like

1362
01:25:02,055 --> 01:25:03,849
I'm all of those things,

1363
01:25:03,932 --> 01:25:06,476
at least, not all the time,
that's for sure,

1364
01:25:07,936 --> 01:25:09,021
you're right:

1365
01:25:09,104 --> 01:25:10,772
I'm still your daughter.

1366
01:25:12,024 --> 01:25:14,234
And if you still love me,

1367
01:25:14,318 --> 01:25:17,279
then all that may not matter
so much anyway, right?

1368
01:25:18,905 --> 01:25:21,450
Well, I wanted to send you these,
because...

1369
01:25:22,242 --> 01:25:25,287
it was really hard
for me takin' them, I mean.

1370
01:25:25,912 --> 01:25:27,956
But a friend of mine helped me realize

1371
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,500
I didn't have to be ashamed
of myself anymore

1372
01:25:30,584 --> 01:25:31,710
for anything.

1373
01:25:32,210 --> 01:25:34,212
'Cause I never did anything wrong.

1374
01:25:35,631 --> 01:25:38,842
And I guess I wanted to be
able to tell you that

1375
01:25:38,925 --> 01:25:40,677
or show you that.

1376
01:25:41,637 --> 01:25:44,264
Anyway, these are for you.

1377
01:25:45,432 --> 01:25:48,769
And I love you too, Lydia.

1378
01:25:49,895 --> 01:25:52,105
