All language subtitles for Cmpulsion

All I've ever wanted is
sparkling silverware,

beautiful crystal,
and someone to love.

Because to love and be
loved is the greatest gift.

Cooking is supposed to
make you feel something.

And if it makes
you feel loved,

then that's the
most important thing.

Amy, you're on
in three, two...

There is no love as
true as the love of food.

You with me?

I like to say-- forget love,
I'd rather fall in chocolate.

Mmmm.

The secret to a man's heart
is not through his stomach,

it's through
his zipper.

Now one of you lucky
audience members

is gonna join me for a meal that
will inspire you to orgasm.

Because that's what we do
on Amy's Food For Love.

[knocking]

Shit.

No solicitors please.

I'm detective
Reynolds.

I'd like to ask
you some questions.

It's about your
neighbour,

I'd just like to ask
a couple questions.

I'm sorry to
interrupt you,

it looks like you might
be entertaining.

It's just a chocolate soufflé.
It'll be ready in ten minutes.

Oh, oh, I don't do much
dessert, doctors orders.

I won't tell
if you won't.

Mmm...

Glass of Bordeaux?

Can't drink on the job,
but thank you.

Hmm.

So, uh, your neighbour
across the way in 302.

She's, uh,
come up missing.

Saffron?

She's a friend
of yours?

Well, I wouldn't say
that we share secrets,

but we look out
for each other.

She didn't say anything to
you to lead you to believe

she was distressed,
maybe a fight with a lover?

She seemed fine the
last time I saw her.

Uh huh.

And when
was that?

Umm...

we had dinner
last week.

Did she have any friends
over or parties?

No, actually Saffron's
pretty solitary.

Oh, a pretty
girl like that.

And famous,
I understand,

though I don't go to the
movies much myself.

Well like I said, I don't know
much about her private life.

This is Saffron
Nelson?

Maybe, it's
hard to see.

She's an actress so everytime
you see her she's a...

different person.

So you've had no
contact with her

since your
dinner together?

You don't seem
too concerned.

Well, how do we know
that she's missing?

Look, Miss Elwood, maybe I
should be the detective here.

I think it'll all make sense in
the grand scheme of things.

Do you mind?

Oh.

So, last week, did you cook for
her here or did you order in?

Order in?
God, never.

Um hmm, let's see.

Oh--

Shafer Farm's venison
loin with parsnip gratin

and onion confit.

Do you keep track of
everything you cook?

Do you keep track of
everything you ask?

I do everything I make
on a special occasion.

Are you a chef?

I'm preparing my
own cooking show.

Will you be writing
up your little cakes?

Soufflé.

And I don't know if they're
special enough yet.

Would you know of any other
friends of Miss Nelson

that I could
possibly call?

Honestly detective, I
don't know if she has any.

If you think
of anything,

please feel free
to contact me...

Personally.

Sure thing.

God I can't believe
anything's happened to her.

In the throes of passion,
who gives the most?

The man or the woman?

Not the man,
that's for sure.

That's a great article,
one of her best.

Looks like she
had many talents.

She was tired
of acting,

that's why she wrote
the advice columns.

She was tired of being
dependent on others.

She said
that to you?

In so many words.

Suicide.

Is that possible?

And how is it that a woman who
looks like that had no lovers?

She gets a lot of phone
calls but she never answers.

She changes her
number all the time.

[phone ringing]

Used to bother my fiancé
'cause you could hear it

through the walls.

[phone ringing]
[beep]

Saffron, honey,
it's Christine,

I just spoke with
their casting director

and it's not
looking good.

They need more
name value, A list,

you know the bullshit.
Call--

Okay, okay.

[muffled chatter]

It's a beast.

Might have to eighty-six
the damn door frame.

Everything looks
wonderful.

The treated concrete,
the stainless,

my kitchen lights,
remote control.

Well, you don't want
to strain yourself.

You went all out
for me babe.

But this is
all wrong.

Isn't it standard?

It's not forty,
it should be forty.

Amy, darling,
thirty-six is standard,

they gave you
standard height.

I like to be elevated when
cooking, you know what I mean.

Heels add four inches so the
island has to come up by four.

So spare no details,
spare no expense,

do you remember Fred?

The kitchen
is my temple.

Yeah, cash
guzzling temple.

Here ya go guy.
Come on.

I gotta go.

Watch your
fingers.

You know why I
love you babe?

'Cause when we went to our
first dinner at Le Gourmand,

you said you could never be
with a woman who can't cook.

And what did I say?

You said that you could
never be with someone

who didn't appreciate a
meal 'made with love'.

I'm so glad you're
understanding.

So you'll get him to finish
it in three days right?

I got him this
far didn't I?

Dinner's at eight.

Sorry about all
the noise.

Let me guess,
model?

More of a diva,
I'd say.

[phone ringing]

I need you at eight
sharp, no delays.

The integrity of the
meal can't tolerate it.

Because today on
the menu we have...

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
surprise me babe.

You know I know
how to do that.

Right, can't wait.

Bye.

Mmmmm.

You know, sometimes I
have to dig real deep

to find the spiritual
connection to

poached Dover Sole
over baby fennel.

Come on, you love all her fancy
chateau de chez moi meals.

The belly rules
the mind.

No, her mind
rules your belly.

You could always join me for
take out at the Red Lantern.

You know what they
say about fast food,

it's like pornography.

Not much of a substitute
for the real thing,

but ready and available
when you need it.

[music]

[clock chimes]

Hello.

[sigh]

Ames, this is
a big account.

It's a big fat account.

Big enough to pay for all
these renovations account.

You know how hard it is to
roast an organic partridge

without the proper
convection oven?

Honey, they fixed my
countertop but--

Hey buddy.

--the lighting
is all wrong.

Looks great to me.

Well, not when you're
standing behind the island.

It needs to be
more... glamorous.

Call the electrician.
No one listens to me.

Did you miss me?

I missed you.
That's my boy.

How were the truffles?
They were parigord.

The best.

Do they overpower
the partridge?

Definitely not.

Was the partridge young
enough, tender enough?

Just like you babe.

Well, maybe not
quite that tender.

Are you sure I haven't
gotten too tough,

too meaty?

Well, it didn't seem that way
to me, last time I had a taste.

It's been a few days,
maybe you should make sure.

Time to play find
the hidden spice.

[chuckling]

Are you focusing?

Mmmhmm.

Sweet aroma.

Solid structure.

Come on baby,
let's go to the couch.

No, no,
let's stay here.

You can smell
the wild truffles.

Wild truffles huh?

[moaning]

You like that?

[heavy breathing]

[moaning]

Ohh...

Oh! Oh, you found it!

[moaning]

That's the
missing spice.

[crash]

Oh--

Oh Fred!

[gasps]

Oh god.

Hey, what are
you doing?

I've gotta glue it
back together,

it's my
favourite set.

What about me?

[music]

I just don't understand
why Saffron would leave.

According to her agent she
was up for a lot of parts,

her magazine articles
were gobbled up

by thousands
of women.

Agents will
say anything.

Another struggling
actress.

A bit shy on the
leading roles.

So you took an interest
in her career?

[beeping]

My oven.

Excuse me detective, I have a
soufflé that needs rescuing.

It wasn't my fault.

I would rather
DIE IN A GUTTER

than come back to
this hellhole!

It wasn't my fault!

I would rather
die in a gutter...

than come back to
this hellhole.

[muffled talking]

I would rather
die in a gutter

than come back to
this hellhole.

Okay.

You take me
for granted.

Half the entire
staff got laid off,

it wasn't my fault.

Ugh.

You take me
for granted.

Half the entire staff got
laid off, it wasn't my fault.

It wasn't my fault.

Half the entire staff got
laid off, it's not...

It-- It wasn't
my fault.

Ughhh!

Ugh.

Fuck!

I can't do this.

I can't do it.

I can't.
[crying]

Saffron, you have
rehearsed this for weeks.

Everyone is waiting on you.
Do not let them down.

I am your mother Saffy,
listen to me--

No!
[crying]

--Ten pounds,
I know.

Do you think that
this lasts forever?

We are ready.

We're ready.

Let's go.

Come on Saffy.

Smile.

Not ready mom.
[crying]

Big smile.

[music]

Ten minutes.

I gotta hit
the road babe.

I got a big commercial
appraisal out of town.

You're gonna miss me when I
land my own cooking show.

I can't wait to see my
favourite chef on TV.

I'll see you later.

Good morning my fine
feathered friend.

Who's a good boy?

I'll see ya later.

[bird noises]

[knocking]

Hi, it's your
neighbour.

I have your mail.

S. Nelson, 302,
that's you, right?

Yup, thank you.

Did you just move in?
We've never met.

No, I'm just not
always here.

Thanks.

My pleasure.
I'm Amy.

Saffron.

[whispers]
Saffron.

Oh my god,
oh my god!

Where is it?

Missed you
so much.

I missed
you too.

My Saffy.

[phone rings]

Hi mom.

You remember my
friend Lou Rosen?

Well, he is now the
sole distributer

for this new ayurvedic
antioxidant.

You know,
he's a celebrity.

He does TV ads
and everything

and they use this
ancient Chinese herb

and it just melts
away the pounds.

You know it's
probably pure speed.

Why don't you
just eat real food?

He says it's
completely organic,

Very healthy and I'm
gonna send you some.

Beause you need to hang
on to that slim little

figure of yours while
you still can.

Really?

I lost Herb when I
started putting on weight

and don't want you going
through the same thing.

You lost Herb because
he was a philandering jerk,

you didn't know when
to give into him.

Thank god he
had money.

Don't listen to me if
you don't want to.

But don't come complaining to me
that no on tried to tell you so

when you watch Fred
walk out that door.

Thanks mom,
for the advice.

You're welcome.

Fred's not going anywhere, he's
happy as a cherrystone clam.

All the showroom
glass is an asset.

[phone ringing]

Yeah, the dead end street
could hurt the value.

You've reached Fred Grant,
leave a message.

I was hopin' to
take you to Earl's.

It's the home of the
mother of all burgers.

Oh my god, Saffron.
Saffron Nelson?

Yes?

Could you please
sign this for me?

I love your movies, but
your sex column is so hot.

[music]

Okay, Jennifer you'll
be next-- Saffron!

Thanks so much
for coming down.

Listen, um, I don't
mean to embarrass you,

I told your agent this
was a real long shot,

but he hasn't been
able to reach you.

I've been away.

Well, I'm sorry but we're
looking for someone more,

um, well someone
unknown.

Younger.

Younger might help,
but really a new face.

There isn't any
money for the role,

I already discussed
this with Eric.

I don't care,
I love it.

I--I will even read if there's
no offer on the table.

I will do whatever
it takes.

Okay.

Someone younger then.
Someone fresher.

Fresher.

Okay.

Sorry.

So great to
see you.

Jennifer, you can
come on in now.

[chuckling]

So the owner walks in, and finds
all this imported furniture,

and an entire family had
moved into his office.

[laughing]

[phone ringing]

Oh boy.

Yes dear.

Honey, I wish
you'd return my calls.

I've got deviled blue point
crab cakes in the oven

and they just
came in fresh.

You will go insane.

Honey, thought I told you
I was on the road today?

And pick up two
bottles of Chablis

on the way home.
It's not too fruity.

And try to make it
by nine. Love you.

You too.

Oh you, uh, have a
little, right...

There.

Thanks.

Welcome.

[music]

Do you fully
taste the crab?

Fully.

'Cause most of the time in
the restaurant you only get

the canned crab
and the cornmeal.

Here bud.

You know, he's gotta get used
to eating in his cage or

we'll never have a
minute to ourselves.

He likes watching you cook.
Don't ya Bas?

That's my boy.

Sometimes I get the
feeling my food

doesn't interest
you that much.

You know what, everything
isn't always about food.

Who's a good boy?

Do you realize I spent all
day making that for you?

Well don't, don't do it.
You don't have to.

You could do something
simple for once.

Like what,
a TV dinner?

Yeah, I've had 'em.

Nobody's ever died from
one far as I know.

It's never gonna
happen around here.

What kind of woman serves
her family a TV dinner.

Well, maybe one
that's got a life.

[mocking] "How does
it taste? Is it good?

"is it too salty,
too spicy?"

God, I'm sick of hearing the
same thing every single night.

Is there nothing else
worth thinking about?

I can't believe how
much you've changed.

We've had the same conversation
for the past year.

Find something to
do with your life.

I am.

Imagine me in front of
a live studio audience.

Not this again.

A million viewers.

All waiting with
bated breath

for me to deliver the
next greatest dish.

You don't get it
Freddo, do you?

This is my life.

Mmmm.

You barely
ate earlier,

there must be some room
for dessert in there.

No room, all full?

Come on. Open up.

You know the secret to
making a good profiterole,

is you have to freeze
the pastry first.

Uh baby...

Start off with
it nice and firm.

I've been
drivin' all day.

That's why you
need sugar.

Coco lifts the spirit.
It'll lift just about anything.

I could have made
you anything,

like a cherry tart, but
there's nothing like

creamy chocolate
and vanilla together.

Hot and cold.

Fire and ice.

Tell me how
you want me.

Mph no...
Enough is enough.

No more
fucking food.

Jesus Christ.

I'm goin' to bed.

You don't have to be so blunt.
I'm a perceptive girl.

[phone beeps]

[Music]

[Woman singing: Let this snow]

[Melt in my mouth]

[Until my head hurts,
until I'm out]

[Makes me
laugh a bit]

[Makes me cry]

[Same way you
confuse me...]

[knocking]

[Bad things,
bad things.]

[Sad things have
to happen.]

Chris, come on!
Put it when it's up!

I need that
risotto yesterday.

Plate's up
on fourteen.

Amy?

Hi Lucas.

Hey-- I tried to tell you. Hefe
likes it the way he likes it.

Don't worry, I don't
want my job back.

I'm getting my
own cooking show.

What did he order?

The moules frites.

You know he still brings
his coworkers here.

Well, I didn't realize
he fed them too.

The ass-hole never liked
them when I made them.

I try so hard to
make him happy.

Seems like I could
never do enough.

Order's ready
for seven, Lucas!

Sometimes with all these clever
gastronomic combinations,

and catering to
peoples' desire,

somebody's just
bound to get hurt.

But now we do what we
do best in this show,

communicate those
touchy feelings

which can only truly be
expressed through cooking.

[angry chopping as
audience cheers]

All that pampering, and
posturing, and pandering

just to get
a response.

A tiny spark of
appreciation.

And the minute a hot piece
of ass comes your way,

you're all over it
like white on rice.

Moules frites.

Probably the only
muscle she ever had

was in the back seat of
a car on her knees.

Audience:
Whore!

Stick to your greasy
burgers girlfriend.

But does all
this mean

that we have to lower
the gastronomic bar?

Audience:
No!

Damn straight.

Because food is
an art, people,

and true artists fight
back through all the pain

and indifference.

They never give up.

Audience:
Go girl! Whoo!

I thought our one-year
engagement was special enough

to break out my
best silverware.

I wanted everything
to be perfect.

I think it
looks amazing,

like one of those kitchens
you see in a magazine.

Not with the kitchen,
I mean with the meal.

How could you go wrong?
You made my favourite.

It's delicious.

Actually they ran out of
the organic partridge,

which is unusual because
the delivery from

Beaver Creek Farms is
on Tuesday night.

So I thought, well, you
know Fred. What can we do?

He won't want
meat because

he probably snuck in
a burger at lunch.

Maybe mussels, fries, we
always enjoyed that together.

You know we've
been having these

catered lunches
at work and uh--

So I checked in my
cooking journal,

and I realized that on three
out of the five occasions

I've made your
favourite stuffed game

that you haven't been
able to really enjoy it.

I wasn't?

No because it has to be
savoured fresh out of the oven

to fully appreciate
the aroma,

and the fragrance in
all of its intensity.

We went over this.

Do you remember?

Look Amy, if this is about me
being insensitive, I apologize.

Things at work have been...
let's say challenging.

Well, challenging is
when something you want

makes you work
harder to get it.

Is that what
you mean?

Where are you
going with this?

Well, I thought, you know,
don't get all uptight

and throw around the
four letter words.

Just let the wine decide what's
going to pair with this...

little love-bird.

Where's Sebastian?

Bas-man?

Bastion?

Where is he?

[music]

[knocking]

[knocking]

Saffron?

It's Amy.

Hi.

Um, I was just--I was
going to the market

and I was going to make
dinner and I was thinking,

maybe we could
have dinner sometime?

Oh, tonight's
not a good night.

I'm really behind
on a deadline.

Oh, I wasn't thinking
about tonight.

I'm so busy too, um...
What about next week?

Not a good
week for me.

[clears throat]

Well, I'll just check
back in with you.

I--I appreciate
the dessert.

Did you like
the profiteroles?

Oh yeah, they were
wonderful. Thank you.

Did you like the way the hot and
the cold mixed together and--

Thank you.
Appreciate it.

Mmm.

Mmm, don't you just love
the smell of fresh-baking?

I'm sorry to
keep asking Amy,

but something is bothering
me about your neighbour.

You said she
was a recluse.

Now, where does a
recluse come up with

all that advice
about sex?

Well, maybe she had a lover.
All you need is one.

Did you, um, ever see
any of her movies?

Not that I recall. I don't
really follow who's who,

except in the
kitchens.

Go ahead. Try it.

You know I'm really just a meat
and potatoes kind of guy.

Oh, a bite
won't kill you.

I'd love to, but
I have this, uh,

bad flap that if I eat
something like this, I get...

[clicking]

I--I even take
a pill for it.

Hum.

Hm.

Mmm.

You know,

they sell you the vanilla
extract and it's not pure.

That is unfair.

What about you?
Anyone in your life?

No. No one.

Well, someone is
definitely missing out.

I got rid of
the last one.

I'm free as a bird.

[music]

[chop]

Sometimes you
get so far gone

that you can't see what's
good for you anymore.

And when a new opportunity
presents itself,

you have to go for it.

Audience: [cheers]

Mmm, now fish en croute
with lemon butter sauce

isn't as intimidating
as it sounds.

A dish like this
speaks volumes.

It says, 'I've made this
for you with affection'.

[knocking]

May I suggest fish en croute
with lemon butter sauce?

I just renovated my kitchen so
it's kind of a celebration.

Thank you for thinking of me,
but I've already eaten dinner.

Well, then, keep it
and eat it later.

No, no, I really
I--I--I couldn't.

I know you think
I'm pushy but

you can't afford to be
shy when it comes to food.

Do you live
by yourself?

Yup.

You know, I wasn't sure
at first that it was you.

But then there was
something, I don't know.

Made me think
about being a kid.

Yeah... Kid's shows
were fun back then.

Too bad the ass-hole producers
took all the fun away.

I used to watch your show
every night after dinner.

It was like you were
a part of the family.

That's wonderful,
Amy, but I--

I have work I--I need
to get back to.

Oh! Um, en croute
means in a crust.

It's a flounder
in a puff pastry.

Actually I know what
'en croute' means.

Oh, of course.
You're so sophisticated.

I hope you approve.
I made it specially for you.

You're so skinny. I need
to lose some weight.

I should be, like, ten pounds
lighter for my height.

And you're still
so pretty, Saffron.

I--I'm flattered. But,
sadly, I've already eaten.

It would really
make my day

if you would just try it right
now while the lemon cream

is still hot and tangy enough
to really do it's job.

Come on. I dropped a
bomb on the stove.

Need to know if it's
worth the money.

Of course it was the
idiot's money but...

Mmm.

It's delicious.

Really?

Mm hmm.

You really
think so?

Mm, I really--I need
to get back to my work.

I'm so happy we're neighbours,
you have no idea.

Let me know how
the cream works.

Don't let it sit too long 'cause
it will lose all of its flavor.

Bye.

[cheers]
Audience: Amy!

Welcome back to
Food For Love,

where we transform dinner
into a romantic love affair.

Now, with rack of lamb
with truffled ragout,

you're going to want to have
your butcher french the bones.

Unless you're handy
with a meat cleaver,

which I personally
am not.

I've always been partial to the
black truffle oil of France.

Now, truffles are
libido enhancers

because they're
rich in...

Audience:
Amino acids!

Audience:
[clapping]

This dish is really
all about meat.

Fred used to say,
"I didn't fight my way

"to the top of the food
chain to be a vegetarian".

Who says those vegetarians
don't let their

inner animal out
in the bedroom?

Audience:
[cheering]

[knocking]

301, I have a
surprise for you.

God.

I hope I'm not
bothering you.

Actually, I'm in the
middle of writing.

How do you
cook in here?

[clears throat]

You were amazing
in that.

You fought it out with a
broken leg for half the movie.

And I actually broke my
leg making the movie.

Wow, I hope they
paid you a lot.

You'd have to
ask my mother.

She took care
of all that.

Is... that for me?

It's rack of lamb
with truffled ragout.

I made it special
for you.

That is very
kind of you.

I'm--I'm just
not hungry.

I figured that.

But did you know that protein is
essential for a strong libido?

A study showed that women
who don't eat enough red meat

have weaker orgasms.

I don't eat meat.

You can tell that
by looking at you,

but you haven't
tried my meat dishes.

[whispers]
My lighter.

[phone ringing]
[beep]

Hey, it's Eric. Listen,
they saw your reel.

They're gonna pass.

Unless you wanna
audition for the mother.

I'll speak to
you later.

Ass-holes.

My kind of girl.

I love your column.

I try to make women feel
young and powerful.

We don't often
feel that way.

For someone who
writes about sex,

I'm surprised you
don't eat meat.

Really?

Half of India
is vegetarian,

and they don't have a
problem reproducing.

But do they enjoy
the sex?

Fred loved meat.

More than he loved
me apparently.

Oh, it's like this lamb
was born in this sauce.

Mmm, just try it.

Uh, excuse me.

You have to eat or
you're gonna die.

[water running]

[vomiting]

[water running]

[echo] Saffron,
you just...

[echo]
just...

[echo] you try to
sneak one of these in?

[echo]...these in?
...one of these in?

Saffron, just get
your weight down,

and try to sneak
one of these in.

You know, you have to
watch what you eat.

No thanks.

Saffie, try it.

You have any idea what I have
sacrificed for your career?

I love you.

Jack, how's
it going?

Sharon.

Bob.

So this is little
lady Saffron, huh?

You're even prettier
than your head shot.

No...no.

Too bad.

They make
you so hot.

[chuckles]

Mmm.

Jack's right over there babe.
He's a piggybank.

Why don't you go
shake his tree?

Why don't we talk
about you, angel-face?

[echo]
angel-face, angel-face...

How's Fred?

As far as I remember,
no man's ever lasted

more than six
months with you.

Do we have a
new record?

Fred's infatuated
with me,

there's no other woman
he'd shed blood for.

Oh, that's wonderful sweetheart.
So, do you have a job?

I'm preparing my
own cooking show.

You'll never guess who
my new neighbour is,

she lives right
in my building.

Do you remember
Saffron Nelson,

'Season of Love',
'Silent Laughter'?

'Twilight Pearl'! She
was so beautiful.

Oh, you must have watched
every single show.

Did you introduce
yourself?

Introduce myself?
I am making her dinner!

So, can I meet her?

You know how it is
with celebrities,

they're very private.

You have to be respectful,
feel out the situation.

[music]

[giggling]

Mmmm..

[giggling]

I've got it.

A bouillabaisse.

Today's mystery
ingredient says:

"I'm an introvert who
handles stress poorly.

"Eat me so you can
get laid real fast."

What am I?

Audience:
An oyster!

Very good.

A real student of both the
kitchen, and the bedroom.

Oysters and sex have
something in common.

They're both...
that good

that you close an eye to
the mess that they make.

[gasp]

[knocking]

It's open.

I know you're busy.
I'm just checking in.

I know what it
must be like

with the readings, the
auditions, the pressure.

The hardest thing is not
having someone to talk to.

To really talk to.

Did he leave you?

I left him.

How can someone
be so needy,

and yet so unresponsive
to someone else's needs?

It's not hard,
trust me.

It's so hard
being alone.

You're one of the
lucky ones, you--

chose what you wanted to
do and it worked out.

Oh yeah, they're just knocking
my door down trying to hire me.

Haven't you
seen them all?

Will you let me know how
the bouillabaisse is?

I know you
love oysters.

I made this for you

inspired by your scene
from 'Twilight Pearl'.

You were
unforgettable.

I didn't actually
eat an oyster.

You didn't?

No.

Please just try it.

Mmm hm hm.

I'll just
leave it here.

[gagging, spitting]

Don't make me go back to
my cookbook, Saffie.

[knocking]

Gonna get cold.

[knocking]

You don't know
what you're missing.

[knocking]

I'll just
leave it here.

[knocking]

Come on, I know
you're in there.

[music]

[elevator dings]

I'm sorry.

For what?

Let me see that.

This is the
appreciation I get?

I'm very,
very sorry.

I just...

I couldn't eat it.

We'll see about that!

Ah, no!

Get in there!

Ahh!

Sit down.

[crash]

[crying]

Please, please...

Please! Please what?

I made this for you!
Now, EAT!

I can't.

Yes, you can.

You're not gonna
reject me too.

Who are you to
despise my food?

My entire body
rejects it.

You fucking snob! This
is my creation. MINE!

Eat!

You will eat.

[SCREAMS]

ARGH!

I'll show you
rejection.

You wanna be
close to me?

Well, now you're
close.

Ringside seat.

Normally I'd run the water
so no one would hear, but,

we don't have
to worry.

It's just you
and me.

And we're friends
now, right?

Then I do it.

In and out,
back and forth.

It's as natural
as sex.

[gagging, vomiting]

I used to wrap
my knuckles.

[laughs]

Then I would choke on the
fucking toilet paper.

Once I even used
a plastic spoon

when I was so afraid it
would go down. Mm hm.

[vomiting]

Am I beautiful now?

It's not your food Amy,
it's not the taste.

What is it?

It's a vice that's stuck
around and it's not welcome.

You have to eat something
Saffie, or... you'll die.

How do you feed something
that can't be fed?

I just want it
to disappear.

You're really beautiful.

I wanted to get
out so bad.

Then when I was
really ready to bail,

I saw what I
was up against.

They all needed me.

They all fed off me.

Even my own father.

I supported him for,
like, twenty years.

If it wasn't for me,
he'd probably be in prison.

I'm sorry.

I thought my father
was a deadbeat.

Saffie, what can I do?

Be someone who doesn't
want anything from me.

Can you do that?

I really need to
be alone, please.

Please give me
another chance.

To cook for you?

To make you
feel whole.

You-you can't
see it, can you?

See what?

The line.

When to quit.

Just let me make
you something simple.

A soup.

[knocking]

It's open.

You look lovely.

I didn't think
you'd come.

You can run lines with
me for my audition.

I would love that.

Have a seat.

I made you a ginger
coriander broth.

Is it alright?

Mm hmm.

The ginger root will
relax your stomach.

Mmm.

Is--is it too spicy?

I was careful with
the ginger root.

No, no, it's--um, guess
I have a lot on my mind.

Aah, that was good.

You didn't eat
very much.

I--I baked you a goat
cheese and tomato tart.

No just... just sit.

Do you mind
if I smoke?

Oh, of course.

Uh, I'm done too.

Oh--

Ashtray.

Let's, um, let's run
these lines, yeah?

Oh--

Umm okay, you are...
You're Nicole, okay?

Okay.

And, um, don't feel
like you have to act.

Just, here,
just read it.

Okay?

You said to go with
our instincts, right?

Get in touch with
our animal side.

If I were an animal,
which animal would I be?

I don't know.
Maybe a horse?

Come on Doctor Mann, you
know me better than that.

A boa constrictor.

Not bad but
too physical.

Too much effort spent
and not enough strategy.

A scorpion.

Too obvious.

Stings its mate, a no-brainer
for the arachnoid vice squad.

A net thrower.

What's that?

A spider that throws
a net on its prey,

stings it, and
sucks it dry.

Glad to see this game
amuses you, Nicole.

Why don't you come up to
my ranch this weekend.

You'd love the
mountains.

No, I--I couldn't.
Doctor-patient...

Confidentiality,
I know.

It's funny, I feel like
I've known you forever.

It happens.

But if it gets in the way of
the work, it can be dangerous.

That was terrible.

No, you were great.

Um, should we try
it one more time?

Yeah. Mmhmm.

You said go with
our instincts right?

Get in touch with
our animal side.

A net thrower.

Can you believe this dialogue?
Okay, a boa constrictor.

I'm Saffron.

You're good.

[laughing]

Ready? I'm going to be
very demure instead.

Demure?

You ready for me?

Okay.
And action.

You said to go with our
instincts, right?...

If I were an animal,
which would I be?

A horse.

A horsie.

Wow.

Who talks like this?

Who actually
talks like this?

It's a spider that
throws a net! Aaw!

[laughing]

Why don't you come up to
my ranch this weekend?

You'd love the
mountains.

No, I can't.
Doctor-patient...

Confidentiality.
I know.

It's funny. I feel like
I've known you forever.

It happens. But if it gets
in the way of the work,

it can be very,
very dangerous.

Amazing. Whoa, I just got
distracted, it was so good.

Uhhhhh....
Let it be--

You know what? I'm
absolutely hideous.

I am.

That was--oh,
that was great.

But I'm impressed with
everything you do.

[laughs]
Thank you.

I think you're gonna get this
job Saffie, I can feel it.

Not when they
have every

head cheerleader
Texas ever produced.

That's who they
really deserve.

Not according to your agent,
he says they want you.

Y-O-U, right?

I, um I need to rest.
But thank you.

[clears throat]

I can run lines with
you tomorrow--

I can even go with
you if you want.

Okay...

Okay.

Oh, wait!
Um, hah.

I was on Youtube and I
have something for you.

I thought you
might enjoy this.

[whispers]
Okay.

I'm Saffron Nelson.

I'm nine years old and
I'm with EZ Talent.

Okay, you can do
anything you want.

What are you
gonna do for us?

I'm gonna do an old classic.
Is that alright?

Uh huh.

[Singing: Now don't you listen
honey while I say]

[How could you tell me
that you're going away?]

[Don't say that
we must part.]

[Don't break my
aching heart.]

[You know I've loved
you truly many years.]

[Loved you
night and day.]

[How could you leave me,
can't you see my tears?]

[Listen while
I say,]

[After you're gone,
left me crying.]

[After you're gone,]

[there's no
denying...]

You're gonna be great.
They'll love you.

Just like they
always did.

Just be yourself.

[laughs]
Trust me.

The real me would never
please any of these people.

Good luck.

I knew we'd find something for
you, you're perfect for this.

Come on in!

Thank you.

[clears throat]

Okay?

Okay, any time you're
ready Saffron.

Hello. My name is
Saffron Nelson.

I'm with Talent
Unlimited,

and I will be reading
for Doctor Mann.

Hi Sapphire.

I'm sorry, um, the light's
very bright. I can't see.

The unforgettable
Saffron Nelson.

You're still lookin'
good Saffie.

And I'm... still
lookin' out for you.

It's okay to be a little
nervous... [echoing]

[echo]
Be so breathtaking...

How does it feel to
be so breathtaking?

Don't worry.

Your mother trusts me.

That's why she's
given you to me.

Because it's what Baba expects
from you... [echoing]

You are gonna be a star,
Saffron. A star. I know it.

[echoing] Because you're
a movie star now...

Because you're a movie
star, that's why.

[struggling]

I said quality.

I'm gonna be looking
for someone eighteen.

Excuse me.

Saffron?

Are you okay?

Mm mmm.

Saffie,
what happened?

[crying]

Saffie?

Saffron?

Saffie?

Everything I did was
for you, Saffie.

You can't tell me it
wasn't a good ride.

[burning sizzle]

[music]

[phone ringing]

Saffron?

Saffron?

[whispers]
Saffron!

Saffron, are you okay?

Ooh, I fell asleep.

It was so sweet.

Do you put this much
effort into everyone?

Or am I special?

You're special.

But I just don't know
how to give you anything.

There's only one
thing you can do.

You're perfect for it.

Aren't you?

I'll love you forever.

And you'll have
me forever.

Mmm.

Lie down with me.

You okay?

I feel better now.

How does that feel?

Feels wonderful.

Kiss me.

[moaning]

So nice.

You so feel good.

I want you
to let go.

Mhmm.

Do you wanna
do that?

I do.

Wonderful.

[breathing heavily,
moaning]

That's it.

Ohh!

Yeah.

Ohh.

Yes.

You taste so good.

[moaning]

Can you feel me?

Oooh!

I can feel you.

Right there, ohh.

[moaning]

Mm.

Do you wanna
help me?

Mmm.

I want to.

More than anything.

I'd do anything
for you.

Do you love me?

I love you.

Help me do
something...

For you.

To remember me.

I've always loved
you, Saffie.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Would you say she was
depressed about her work?

Did you hear
what I said?

[sigh] Well who
isn't these days?

Yeah, but what makes someone
check out just like that--[snap]

If indeed that's
what she did.

She was definitely
temperamental.

Well she was an actor,
what do you expect?

I have a surprise
for you.

You being a meat
and potatoes guy.

So don't even think about
insulting the chef

by letting my last
portion go to waste.

You won't soon
forget this.

It's the best dish
I've ever made.

Now that is
real gourmet,

but you know
it's funny.

When I was doing a
background check

I found that there was no
mention of your cooking show.

Well, you have to
hang on to your privacy.

I saw what that stuff
did to Saffron.

Nothing's private
these days, Amy.

The show will
be on soon,

the network likes to
keep it under wraps.

And how about this?

Do you, uh,
recognize that?

Well, I'm not
a bird expert.

Your ex fiancée's
pet African Grey.

I saw the
police report.

There's a very
disturbing allegation.

Now, did you think we
wouldn't interview him?

That bird just didn't
fly away, did it?

He's upset because he
put this place in my name.

But who could
invent that?

Invent what?

That you fed it
to him.

That bird flew away,
like Saffron.

I don't see what this has to
do with my missing neighbour.

At this point, I don't know,
but I plan on finding out.

People just
don't disappear.

Well, I have
nothing to hide.

Get a search warrant.

[heavy pulsating sound]

[garburator grinding]

[heavy pulsating sound]

I'd offer you dessert but
I know you have the...

I have other things
besides soufflé.

[heavy pulsating sound]

Cooking is supposed to
make you feel loved.

'Cause when
you've got love,

you've got the
whole universe.
