RICK: Previously on
Get Shorty...

If you're making a movie,
it is some kind of racket.
I... (SIGHS)

It's not.

There's always an angle.

We watched your movie,

Sins of a Chambermaid.

You think that we can
use two million

and make a movie
that turns out...

-Better?
-MILES: Right.

Let's get a big studio.

What about that girl
that I met at your office,
from Gravity Pictures?

I hope the project goes well.

I'm not gonna be on it,

-but I look forward
to seein' it...
-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

...at the local art-house.

Lose my number, please.

Open the fuckin' safe!

(YAGO GROANS)

(YOUNG AMARA SOBBING)

(GOATS BLEATING)

(QUIVERING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Senor.

(CONVERSATION IN SPANISH)

(GOATS BLEATING)

(SOBBING)

(MOTHER SOBBING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Who open door for them?

You?

They had a shotgun on Clipper.

Door locks on the inside.

BLIZ: Yeah, but Clip knocked
like usual,

and from the monitor
I couldn't see
the other dudes.

So you open.

AMARA: Who open safe?

BLIZ: I mean,
they were serious as shit.

(STUTTERS) They was about
to put a bullet in his head...

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(FOOTSTEPS RECEDING)

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR SHUTS)

-AMARA: How much?
-All of yesterday.

About 50 grand.

And just this safe.
They didn't touch
the casino cash box.

Josias is a dead man.

I will personally take him
the fuck out, Tia,

I promise, okay?

I will get him. (PANTS)

-I will...
-No.

Let me do this... Por favor.

-(SPEAKING SPANISH)
-(AMARA SHUSHES)

I will take care of Josias.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(AMARA SHUSHES)

(SOBS SOFTLY)

LOUIS: No, no, no!

-(SCREAMING) No!
-What the fuck? What?

(PANTING)

I was dreaming.

(SIGHS) I thought the place
was on fire.

Sorry.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I dreamed Amara was here.

Like, she was in the room?

She wanted to see the movie
that we made.

I said, "The movie's
not happening,

"but we'll give you
all the money back

"except for what we spent
on drinks last night."

And she said,
"Well, how many drinks?"

And I said, "Two,"
which was a lie.

And she said,
"Okay, two drinks.

"So, I'll cut off your balls
and your dick."

Well, your balls should count
for two.

You should be allowed
to keep your dick.

Yeah.

Yeah. It wasn't fair.

Anyway, Amara doesn't want
the money back
until we've cleaned it.

But we don't have any way
of doing that anymore.

The producer quit.

He didn't quit.

It sounded like he did.

(SCOFFS)

You should stop dreaming, man.

Makes you very negative.

LOUIS: Whoa.

-Whoa.
-(DOOR SHUTS)

Are you saying
that you can get him back?

MILES: Huh?

How are you gonna
get him back?

MILES: Just gonna have
a shower.

(SHOWER RUNNING)

(RICK SNIFFS)

How'd it go last night?

I quit.

Quit what?

Quit the movie?

Yeah, I sort of implied it.

Did I mention
that my paycheck bounced?

You can't afford to quit.

I realize that.

-GLADYS: I'm gonna get
Miles Daly on the phone.
-No.

Tell him that
you didn't mean it.

I did mean it.

At the time.

This morning...
A little less so.

But...

You have to let them know
who's the boss here.

You want a good deal on a...
A car,

you walk out
of the dealership.

If they go
with another producer...

They don't know anybody.

Producers in Hahrump, Nevada,
are cooking meth.

(PHONE RINGS)

Moreweather Productions.

Uh, I'll see if I have him.

(PUTS PHONE DOWN)

Miles.

See?

See?

Okay. Well, you him that, uh,

tell him I have
a busy schedule,

but we'll see if we can
squeeze him in.

Tell him.

Okay.

Mr. Daly?

Mr. Moreweather is very busy.
We'll see if we can squeeze...

(CLICKS TONGUE)

I offended you at dinner.

I see that.

I hope you'll accept
our apology.

(SIGHS)

(CHUCKLES)

You guys understand
what you're asking me
to do here.

Make a movie with cash.

Industry people,
they like benefits.

Okay, I don't know
how I'm gonna get
a crew together.

But I'll do it,
under one condition.

No big studio.

-Done.
-Wait. Just...

Just remind me, why no studio?

(SIGHS)

Thirty years ago,
I tried to make
a prestige picture.

Serious film,
financed by Columbia.

I wanted to be
a visionary filmmaker and,
and win awards.

Instead, I had to mortgage
my house.

-But I learned
a very valuable lesson.
-(CONSTRUCTION NOISE OUTSIDE)

-A valuable lesson.
-(WHIRRING)

-(LOUDLY) If you wanna make
a profit...
-(WHIRRING)

Go low budget, sell overseas.

What the fuck is that?

It's an AC unit
for the stages.
That'll go off in a minute.

Do we have a deal?

No big studio.

Deal.

Great.

Beautiful. Gladys!

Get the paperwork.

Okay, as the writer...

(WHIRRING CONTINUES)

...you give us an option
for the material.
It's pretty straightforward.

(LOUDLY) And, uh, ID badges.

LOUIS: Cool.

(LOUDLY) Here's the cash.
I'm gonna go...

(WHIRRING SLOWS)

(NORMAL) Gonna go back
to Nevada now and
get the next installment.

Fives and tens.

Mixed denominations.

Easier to spend.

(PANTING AND MOANING)

(SCREAMING OUTSIDE)

Get out.

(SCREAMING AND
COMMOTION CONTINUES)

MALE CUSTOMER: What?
Why can't you do it?

(GLASS SHATTERING)

(GUNSHOT)

(SIGHS)

We're with Amara.

You understand?

You tell Josias.

Si.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Gracias.

You know, my sister Brynlee
called me this morning.

She asked if I'd found
a church here in LA.

Told her I hadn't.

Maybe I better find one.

So you can confess your sins?

Mormons don't
have confessional.

We confess directly to God.

Oh! You must have him
on the speed-dial
at this stage.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm glad that my faith
is a source of humor for you.

-(CHUCKLES)
-Hey, I'm parked this way.

Uh... I'm just gonna settle
over here for a minute,
outside April Quinn's office.

Wait, who's that?

She's an executive
at Gravity Pictures.

-Oh, come on!
-Look. Look.

We need Rick
'cause he'll use cash.

But his movies are shite.
You saw it.

But if we get a budget
and a proper studio... Oh!

You knew that you
were gonna do this

the whole time we were
in there with Rick.

And you didn't tell me.

You seemed busy.

Look, you're already
a producer.

Who cares
if it's a good movie?

Who cares?

Lou, we're making something.

You don't see that?
We're using our hands
and our fuckin' heads

and we're making something.

Well, fine.

But the next time
you pull shit like this,

you let me know, up front.

Okay?

-Done.
-Okay.

So I'm just gonna let you
handle this woman by yourself.

And I'm gonna go buy
an air mattress
that holds air.

Hold on. How am I supposed
to get back to the apartment?

I don't know.
Should've thought
of that earlier.

(SNIFFS)

Hi.

Oh. Hey! Uh...

The executive, right?

Yeah, also known as April.

(CHUCKLES) Miles.

Right. I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to stop you.

No, no, no. I'm just coming
from a... From a meeting.

It's good to see you.

Yeah.

Uh, how's everything at, uh,

which studio was it?

-Gravity Pictures.
-That's right, yeah.

It's good, yeah.
Can't complain.

Do you, you work on the lot?

Yeah, yeah.
I'm producing a film.

But when we met, you said
you'd been a producer
for three hours.

Nah, that was last week.
I'm pretty much an expert now.

(LAUGHS)

Maybe, um...

Maybe we should get
a coffee sometime.

Maybe we should.

I'm actually on my way
there now, if you wanna join.

I've got a script I think
you might be interested in...

No, no, no. No scripts.

Oh, you will love this.

It's a love story,
set in England in the 1800s.

-This guy is...
-(GASPS) Oh, my God,
that's perfect.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

I have this special
paper-shredder that I use
for period dramas.

It sounds like a wood chipper.
It's, like,
(VOCALIZES BUZZING)

-Got it.
-(CHUCKLES)

But we'll get coffee.

Uh, not now,
but call my office.

April Quinn, Tepper Building.

We'll do it this week.

I'll do that.

(GIGGLES)

I still think you're gonna
love this.

No, no. No scripts.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

(SIGHS) Went pretty good.

80 grand and some change.

More than they took
from us yesterday.

Josias will come back at us.

We got two guys
at every entrance.

Is that the movie?

Yeah.

I don't get it.

Read it to me.

Me?

You want me
to read it out loud?

From the beginning.

(CLEARS THROAT)

"The Admiral's Mistress.

"Fade in. Ext."

What is that? "Ext?"

Don't know.

"Ext. Munro estate, evening.

"Rolling hills give way
to chalk cliffs
and gray ocean.

"Reveal Lord Munro, 50s,

"handsome despite
his lined visa... Visage?"

Vi-something.

"With him is Lillian, 17.

"Lillian. 'Are you certain
Lord Culph will attend
the ball?'

"Munro. 'Quite sure.'

"Lilian. 'I am not so foolish
as to hope for an audience,

"'but I would lay eyes
on him.'"

"Lay eyes?"

What it says.

"Munro looks at her
with rep... Repro..."

Reproach?

Yeah.

"Then produces a snuff box,
holding a pinch to his nose."

Snuff is cocaina?

I think.

Go on. (CRUNCHES)

Yo.

You okay?

Don't take it so hard, man.

Like 50K, man.
Shit, that ain't nothing.

I should've been
on that raid this morning.

I'm the one
got my head cracked open.

Amara's looking
after you, cuz.

You get stitches?

-Fuck stitches.
-Yeah.

MALE BARTENDER:
Drink, sir.

Give me the shit.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Uh, maybe
you should chill, you know?

Till you feel better.

Don't patronize me.

(SIGHS)

(SNORTS, SNIFFS)

(BLOWS, SNIFFS)

You know what Ed
told me this morning?

That when Miles
gets back from LA,

I have to hand that bitch
600 grand.

I said, "We should be
running that cash

"through the nightclub."

600 G's.

How about I stab him
in the throat 600 times?

Hmm? Does that work?

(CHUCKLING)
Yeah, that work for me.

(CHUCKLES)

What if Miles turns up
in the LA river?

LA got a river?
I thought that shit dried up.

No, I'm saying
if he gets dropped in LA,

that shit doesn't
come back on us.

We say that's LA shit.

Something he got into.

I don't have people
in LA, but...

I think my people
got people in LA.

All right. Well,
it's time to get a handle

on this situation.

(SNORTS)

MILES: I took a cab,
in case you're wondering

how I got home.

You ever hear of UberPOOL?

LOUIS:
Yeah. How is it?

Oh, yeah, it's great.

If you wanna listen
to a gobshite

talk about fuckin' Pilates.

Yeah, everything's
different in LA.

TV stations
are on different channels.

April Quinn didn't go for it.

-No?
-MILES: Nah.

I was thinking
I could swing over there,

maybe try and twist her arm.

Then I remembered
I have to go Nevada

for Emma's graduation, so...

So... You want me to go do it?

Oh, that's a good idea.

Look, I just don't see
why you need a studio.

Lulu...

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.

(IMITATING MILES)
It's gotta be a good movie.

Okay.

Just give me her address.
I'll go over there.

I'll smack some
sense into her.

Good man.

Actually, maybe
don't get physical,

unless you have to.

Okay. All right.

-What do I... I mean how...
-Just dig up something up

that's of use.

Like, maybe she's a cokehead,
or she's screwing her boss.

So I'm taking pictures?

So, like, I'm climbing up
a fuckin' tree
outside her window?

Nobody's asking you
to climb trees.

Just find something
that we can use.

All right. (SIGHS)

When we're
holding our Oscars...

-Don't talk to me.
-Okay.

And I'm not going through
her garbage!

RICK: Six week shoot.
It's all in LA.

I know you're available.

I'm not doing low budget
stuff anymore.

Takes too much out of me.

Okay, well, whatever
they're paying you here,

I can match it.

-My full quote.
-And your guys, too.

UPM, first AD,
whoever you want.

If that's true,
we should talk.

See? We can work it out.

Yeah, long as they take cash,

I will match whatever
they usually bring in,

after taxes.

Why would you pay in cash?

Investor. Very nice lady,
right outside Vegas.

Uh-uh. Either you
set up payroll,

or this is a no-go.
I should get back.

What? Now everything
is by the book with you?

Come on!

One M. Night Shyamalan movie,

now you're
too good for me, right?

I have 20 minutes.

(PANTING AND MOANING)

MAN: Yeah, it was great.

APRIL: That was fun. (GIGGLES)

MAN: Yeah.

Yeah, all right. Good night.

APRIL: Bye.

(SNIFFS)

Yago? This is Miles.

I waited around for two hours
and you never showed.

You probably know,
I'm supposed to get
something from you

before I go back to LA.

So if you would could just
let me know where
and when, that's...

That's gonna happen,
that would be lovely.

Okay, bye.

PRINCIPAL: (THROUGH SPEAKERS)
Parents and students,

please find your seats.
We will begin
in just a moment.

(SCHOOL BAND PLAYING)

Miles.

Hey there. Hey, Jeffrey.

Hey. Join us.

Could you scooch over?

Miles, just...

Ah, no, it's... It's okay.

(CLEARS THROAT)

When did she start wearing
her hair up?

Her friends do it.

You know, she was talking
like she didn't care
about the ceremony,

then she changed
her outfit three times.

(CHUCKLES)

I told her you were in LA
'cause you're making a movie.

You tell her you thought
it was bullshit?

That I didn't know much
about it, which is true.

Looks real, doesn't it?

That's 'cause it is.

I'll take your word for it.

No, you won't, that's why
I have to show it to you.

(SIGHS)

I was thinking that
Emma could come
and watch us film there,

when we're up and running.

Well, I'll look at
the calendar, but she's got
a busy summer already.

Oh. Doing what?

(SIGHS) Seeing my mom
in Colorado.

She's got, uh,
camp at the country club.

Oh, golf camp?

It's not just golf.
I mean, there's...

Does she even like golf?

-Yeah.
-Oh?

Actually, she does.

She's got a natural ability.

Is that right?

Well, that's good to know,
isn't it?

So I can't spend time with
my daughter because you're
sending her to golf camp.

PRINCIPAL: (THROUGH SPEAKERS)
Ladies and gentlemen,

please join me in welcoming
the Paradise Springs Middle
School Class of 2018!

(CHEERING)

(ENGINE STARTS)

(CAR DRIVES AWAY)

-(COUGHS)
-(GLASS CRASHES)

(SIGHS)

Okay. We want things
for the table, right?

-Uh, nachos,
chicken tenders...
-Yes.

Oh, they're called
adobe tenders here.
And I want a strawberry water.

Wow.

Hey, uh, did you bring
my soccer cleats, Dad?

Was I supposed to?

She left them at your place.
I texted you.

Uh, I think I must have
missed that.

JEFFREY: You know what?
I'll pick them up.

You live in Pahrump, right?
Plus, I owe you a golf club.

Remember, I got that dinner
in Amargosa Valley.

It's easy. I'll pick 'em up
on my way out.

-Really? Thank you.
-Yeah. Of course,
it's my pleasure.

Thanks, Jeffrey.
You're a man amongst men.

(CHUCKLES) Thanks, Miles.

-Hey, Dad?
-Yeah?

Mom said you're making
a movie.

-I am.
-Wait. Like, a real movie?

(CHUCKLES) What other kind
is there?

Yeah, who, who gave you
the job?

I gave it to myself.

-You can do that?
-Apparently, I can.

Well, what's it about?

Yeah, yeah.
I'm, I'm curious, too.

Well, maybe we should
order first, huh?

EMMA: You know my friend
Liliana was in a movie once

when she lived in Arizona.

She pretended to talk
to people in the background
and made $50.

Oh, Emma, if there was
a role for you
in this movie,

-believe me, you'd be...
-Would you flag down
the waitress?

-Oh, there she is.
-JEFFREY: Ma'am?

-Excuse me?
-JEFFREY: She...
(CLEARS THROAT)

You know what?
There is a part, actually.

Oh! There's this girl,
younger, your age.

She's sharp. She's kinda
quick-witted. Bit cheeky.
You could totally play her.

-Wait, really?
-Emma. You'd be spot-on.

Okay. Hold on.

What does the character do
in the film?

It's a small part, Jeffrey,

but, uh, it's, uh,
pivotal to the narrative.

It's kind of... It's hard
to explain if you don't know
the story, but it's good.

When, exactly,
would this happen?

During the summer.

I told you, we made plans.

Golf camp!
Oh, I totally forgot,
I'm sorry.

No, no, no. Mom, I'd rather be
in a movie. Mom, please.

Oh, but you probably don't
want to disappoint
the country club.

Maybe you could visit the set.

Can she visit the set, maybe,
for a day or two?
How about that?

It's not as good as
being in it.

You know what? It would be
a pretty amazing opportunity.

-Jeffrey.
-Sorry.

Why don't we eat. (CHUCKLING)

And then we can discuss this
when Daddy has actual dates
for the film.

Yeah. Let's discuss it later.

Enchiladas look good.

(SCOFFS)

RICK: There he is!

EUGENE: All right, all right.
I'm okay.

Can I, uh, wha... What do you
need me to do?

Get off me, God damn it!

RICK: Can I help you?

-No. I got it.
-Yeah. You got it.
There you go.

EUGENE: Get off me!

AMY: Sit. Sit down. Sit down.

Sit right down. Beautiful.

(GRUNTING) All right. Okay.

RICK: Thank you, Amy.

-Look at her, huh?
-Yeah. Yeah.

When I started,
she was a teenager.

First movie I made,
about giant spiders.

Oh, yeah.
She says you're looking for
a line producer.

I'm a little bit out of
the loop, but I could,
I could do some research.

I want you to do it, Eugene.

-What?
-Yeah.

Yeah. Get back in the action,
huh? Boost up
the savings account.

I can't make it
across the room.

No. Look. We get you
an office, phone.

You gotta go to the set,
the PA brings you.

What the hell
do you want me for?

I'm paying guys
under the table
and nobody wants the gig.

But this is...
For you it's perfect, right?

It doesn't screw with
your health benefits.

We get Vittorio Storaro
as DP.

Vittorio Storaro?

The man won an Academy Award
for Apocalypse Now.

In '79. Right?
What's he done lately?

We can, we can crew
this whole project
with legends.

And pay their rate.

Their rate as of 20 years ago
or adjusted for inflation?

I'm providing a service
for the elderly, you gonna
argue about inflation?

How about Charlie Grimes
as UPM?

Well, I think he's dead,
but I'll,
I'll give him a call.

This is gonna be great.
Thank you.

-EUGENE: Yeah.
-Wanna... You wanna wait
for Amy?

No, no. I got it.

Amy!

(BRAKES SCREECHING)

(SNIFFS)

(MUSIC STOPS)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hey, any luck?

Hey. This lady, April?
All she does is work.

There's no drugs.
There's not a joint
in the place.

Barely any booze.

And there's nothing X-rated
on her computer.

I have spent two hours
looking at fucking selfies.

Is she seeing anyone?

She had a guy come over
last night, but he's too young
to be her boss.

There's no pictures of him
in the apartment,

so I think it was
a booty call.

She kicked him out
20 minutes later,
(CHUCKLES)

LOUIS:
She went back to work.

Whoa. Here's something, maybe.

What the hell is that?

What are you looking at?

A photo on her computer.

-LOUIS: Jesus...
-Wait, you're in
her place now?

I gotta get a photo of this.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Uh, listen,
I'll call you back, all right?

Wait till you see this.

This... I mean, it...

Hello?

What the fuck?

Hello to you, too.

You brought it
to my apartment.

You think that's wise?

Well, if you want it,
you should invite me in.

(SIGHS) Come on in.

So, this is where a guy lives

when his wife kicks him out.
(CHUCKLES)

Eh... This is pathetic shit.

You wanna give me the cash?

Aah, I like a little
conversation
before I get fucked.

Hmm? (SNIFFS)

But, that's just me.

Oh, good. You're high.

YAGO: And you're
a smug little prick.

Got Amara backing you up,
so you're the man. Hmm?

Up in Hollywood, hmm?
Making fun of me.

You know,
if it makes you feel better,

I don't think about
you at all.

So, how is LA?

I hear it's a dangerous place.

You think that's true?

Is that a threat?

Was it?

(SCOFFS)
If something happens to me,

Amara loses her investment.

Now, if she loses two million
bucks, she's gonna wanna
know who's responsible.

I wonder, who do you think
she's gonna look at first?

(SMACKS LIPS)

It's funny. I always forget
just how short you are.

(LAUGHING)

(CHUCKLES)

Hey, you see Amara,
tell her I said thanks.

(MUSIC PLAYING IN RADIO)

(MUSIC STOPS)

Hey. Hey, is that your car?

-What?
-Is that your fucking juke?

Yeah, am I blocking you in?

What's it look like?

Sorry.

Bad enough you drive around
in that fuckin' thing.

I said I was sorry.
I'll it back up.

Yeah, I'll back it up
your ass.

You need to relax.

What?

(SCOFFS LIGHTLY)

You know what?

I'm gonna move my car for you,
but you could be polite.

As in "please" and
"thank you."
It goes a long way.

YAGO:
Please. Hmm?

Please, sir.

Would you move
your fucking juke
so that I can get out?

Thank you so much.

I really fucking
appreciate it.

(PANTING)

You want me to relax. Huh?

Okay, maybe I am
a little tense. Huh?

(GRUNTS)

Here we go. Hmm.

Open your mouth.

-(WHIMPERS) What?
-Ah.

JEFFREY: No! No. Please.

(MUFFLED GRUNTING)

(MUFFLED CRYING)

Yeah. That feels good, right?

Nice and relaxing.
Mmm-mmm-mmm.

Yago! Fucking Christ!

-What?
-You don't...

-He was talkin' shit.
-That's my wife's boyfriend.

-What?
-Neighbors are probably
calling the cops.

Juke is blocking me in.

(CHUCKLING) You said
that's your wife's boyfriend?

Get in your car.
I'll move him out.

(LAUGHING)

Go!

Jeffrey?
I need to move your car.
Can you give me your keys?

Thank you.

She's not angry.

She's gonna kill herself

Yeah. The Lord.

He was... He was...

(COUGHS)

Breathe. Breathe.

(COUGHS)

That guy...
You know him?

Uh, he's a neighbor, I think.

-He's got
mental health issues.
-He was gonna kill me.

I think he was just, uh,
showing off.

But, um, I'm sure
it was scary.

Sorry.

Why are you sorry, Miles?

You saved my life. (GRUNTS)

Oh, fuck.

Ah, I pissed my pants.
I ruined your couch.

I'm sorry,
I ruined your couch.

It's a shitty old couch.
Don't worry about it.

Listen, Jeffrey?

I think its best
you don't tell anyone
about this.

Not even Katie.
I mean, she wouldn't
tell anyone

but, what if she did?

You don't want that guy
in your life.

Crap. I'm not...
I'm not gonna tell Katie
about this.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

What about the cut?
Can she see the cut?

Your hair covers it.

I was driving over here
and I was...
I was angry at my boss.

(SCOFFS) 'Cause he won't
let me run
the fall tournament,

and I was livid, like that was
the most important thing ever.

(CRYING)

And then two minutes later,
there's a maniac

and he's gonna
blow off my head.

(GRUNTS) It puts things
into perspective, you know?

-(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)
-(SNIFFS)

It's Katie.

I'm... I'm gonna talk to her
tomorrow.

I think that's probably best.

-Am I late?
-No. No.

You're... I mean,
you're 12 minutes late,
but its fine.

(SIGHS) How's your day so far?

Crazy, but good crazy.
I won't bore you.

Please.

Next week I scout locations
in the Grecian Isles.

(CHUCKLES) I know, right?
We're doing a month-long
set piece.

Speedboats, helicopters,
very large egos.

Oh, you're right.
That sounds boring.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Do you wanna get a coffee...
Inside?

Uh, something
I should run by you first.

Thanks for meeting me,
by the way. You're obviously
a very cool person.

I think you're a cool person.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Hmm.
I'm about to ruin that.

Oh, please,
don't pitch anything.

I'm not gonna pitch anything.

Open this.

Don't let anyone else see.

Wow. So mysterious.

(CHUCKLES)

Where did you get this?

I had someone break
into your place.

(CHUCKLES)

Careful or I'll think
you're serious.

MILES: I am serious.

He broke a little window
in your back door.

You probably haven't
noticed it, but you should
definitely get it fixed.

And I'll pay for that.

The good news is,
I'm not gonna
show that picture to anyone.

Not as long as your
studio produces my film
for $30 million.

(LAUGHS)

(BOTH LAUGH)

This photo?
Is seven years old.

And it was taken
at a costume party,
on Halloween.

That's the point of
a costume party.

You dress in
a fucking costume.

And Oprah is the reason
I got into show business.

She's an inspiration.

I believe you.

Blackface isn't offensive
in Ontario.

April. It is here.

My number's on the cover.

"Moreweather Productions"?

Rick Moreweather?

He's helping me produce.

Uh, well, you can tell Rick
that there is no way

I convince Brandon
to make this film.

-Not in a million years...
-Ms. Quinn,
this is a beautiful story.

It's honest and it's real
and I promise

when you read it,

you'll realize
you would've wanted

to make this movie anyway.

If you don't, I'll ruin you.

I'll ruin your fuckin' life.

But it won't come to that,

because you're a go-getter,

and this is a lovely piece
of writing.

I'm gonna go now.

I feel like the coffee date's
a bit awkward.

But I'm excited to work
with you.

Let's talk soon.

(SIGHS)

Okay, that's it, right?
Where are we?

-Sound.
-Sound, Zach Schaffer.

"A" camera...

Sam Connell, who actually
worked on Gunsmoke.

-Can you believe that?
-I do.

APRIL: Hello!

Hello!

RICK: April.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Hi! What...

Wanted you to know I am going
to the police tomorrow
to press charges.

You no-talent,
valley piece of shit!

-I'll be at my desk.
-What're you talkin' about?

I thought I was the one
mad at you.

-For what?
-For tankin' my movie.

-Oh. That's what
this is about?
-What?

I thought to myself,
why would Rick target me, huh?

Because I got a job
in a real office?

When this one looks like
a sick cat
who stopped grooming itself?

Hello, April. I don't know
what the hell
you're talkin' about.

Bullshit! And blackmail
is a felony.

-Blackmail?
-What would you call it?

(STUTTERS) I'm not
blackmailing you. I've never
blackmailed anybody.

Uh, what?
That distributor thing,
that was not blackmail.

Your ex-wife.

Minor blackmail. Justified.

Tomorrow I'm going to Brandon,
I'm gonna tell him everything.

He knows me, he'll give me
the benefit of the doubt.

Zero idea what you're
talking about.

And then I'm going
fucking police, okay?

So you and Miles can have fun
producing your Georgian
romance at San Quentin.

-Miles?
-Have a nice life, Rick.

I'll see you in 10 to 20.

You okay?

Yeah. No, no, no, not really.

Get Miles on the phone.

JEFFREY:
It's okay. All right, hold...

(STUTTERS) Step out, Leo,
let me show you.

I'm gonna relax and focus.

Remember, I wanna use my body

to power the swing
and not my arms. Okay?

Take a nice deep breath.

Remember, grip, hip and rip.

Ha! Okay. Well, see?

Even I get a miss-hit
from time to time.
So that when I do...

I'm gonna... I'm just gonna
go back to basics.

I'm gonna take a nice,
deep breath,

going to, uh, make sure
that I get a 45-degree angle

to my left arm
and the club shaft.

And then, grip, hip, rip.

What the hell!

All right. (CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
All right.

Son of a...

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

That doesn't happen.

This is where we're havin'
meetings now?

Yeah. Well, this won't
take long.

Got a message
from April Quinn.

-What?
-(CLICKS TONGUE)

She's going to the cops.

It's all there minus
a non-refundable cash
advance to some crew members.

-That's the cost of
doing business.
-What happened with April?

You tell me.
No, don't. Don't.

Less I know the better.

All right, let's not panic.
Here, listen there's no way...

Rick, Rick, listen.

People in her position,
they never go to the cops.

Oh, she's goin'.

Okay. Okay, fine.

You wanna make the film
for cheap? Let's do it.

Lots of good movies
were made that way,
Rocky, uh, Mad Max, the uh...

-That Blair Witch thing.
-Uh, the Blair Witch thing.

You think I wanna quit
the project? I don't!

I got us a cutting-edge crew.

I ain't going to prison
for a fucking period film.

And if this is how
you do business,
you're not my people!

Listen, April will cool off,
Rick. We all will.

And then we'll make
a fucking movie together, man.

Rick! Rick!

Cunt! Fuck!

-Okay.
-Ah...

For your sake and mine,
we gotta get out of town.

And we're gonna pay back
every penny to Amara
with interest.

-Yeah, I'm not leaving.
-The cops could roll up
any minute.

She's not gonna call
the fucking cops, Lou.

-Maybe she already has!
-(CELL PHONE RINGS)

-It's Katie. (SIGHS)
-Don't answer that.

-Do...
-Hey.

Well, so much for golf camp.

-MILES: What?
-Like you're surprised.

But I want exact dates
and I wanna know
where Emma's gonna stay,

what she's doing when
you're not filming, all that.

Actually, uh...

Here, she wants to
talk to you.

Told Denise I was gonna be
in a movie, she freaked out.

Hey, shorty.

EMMA:
Hey, when can I read it?

Let's, um... Let's not get
ahead of ourselves.

Uh, once I have
the shooting dates,
I'll... I'll tell you.

Are you sure I'm good enough?

I'm more than sure.

But, uh, sweetheart,
it's not a great time
right now.

Can I call you back tomorrow?

-Okay. Good night.
-Night-night.

Hey!

JOSIAS:
Thanks for coming.

How's Edna?

She's good. Thanks for asking.

Did you talk to Mexico?

JOSIAS: They wanna keep
business smooth.

What happened between you
and me, I told 'em
we put it behind us.

But you got the Feds
watching you.

So?

They want you to back off
until things cool off.

I'll handle the territory
north of Indian Springs.

I'll kick back 30%.
That's fair.

Feds can watch you all day,
they get nothing.

When they stop watching,
I give everything back to you.

It's best for everyone.

-(SCOFFS)
-(CHUCKLES)

"It's best for everyone."

So, you agree?

Me and Josias,
we fuck one time.

He's this big.

It's very sad.

You think you walk over me
because I am a woman?

You little dick maricon.

You have one hour
to go back up north

or I cut your
fucking legs off.

BRANDON: I was talking to
Frank Ellmonds.
You know Frank.

Told him he had to read
what you said
in The Hollywood Reporter.

I said, "Frank, listen,
she hit the nail right
on the head."

Turns out, he was on his way
to meet with Abby in sales.

-Who just told him the...
-Can I just...

Uh, sorry. (CHUCKLES)

It's okay.

Yeah, I... There's just...

There's something
I've been putting off saying

and I should really just,
you know, throw it on
out there. (CHUCKLES)

Okay.

Okay.

You know me.
The kind of person I am.

So I can be honest with you
about...

About...

About?

BRANDON: April?

We need a prestige picture.

-Yeah?
-Of course it's important

to develop a franchise.

But now and then, we need
a traditional period drama

with crossover appeal
and awards buzz.

I know you agree.

Yeah. To attract serious
filmmakers and for the sake
of our brand.

BRANDON:
We already have that,
don't we?

The Le Carre Bleu...
The Silent Footstep.

That's a best-selling novel.

Have you heard of
The Admiral's Mistress?

Remind me.

A Georgian romance
set against Napoleonic wars.

It has heart-breaking romance.

Social commentary.

It will set the standard
for cultural
and intellectual drama.

-The Admiral's...
-APRIL: Mistress.

It has a lot of buzz already.

Not even... I don't...
Not a lot just, uh, a ton.

There's so much buzz
going around

and I can't promise anything,
but if we act fast,

there's a chance
we could get it.

So can I give you the script?

(SIGHS)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

(SPITS)

MILES: We know you're
in there, Rick. You parked
your fucking car outside.

Holy shit.

Okay, I'm not talkin' to you
anymore.

Okay?
This relationship is...

Don't come... What are you...

-Okay, now that's trespassing.
-Morning, Rick.

No, no.

Got some news
to share with you.

I told you,
I don't want anything
to do with...

Listen. The studio's in.

Yeah, right.

We're meeting with
the head of, uh,
Gravity Pictures in...

-What is it?
-Thirty-six minutes.

In 36 minutes. You're invited.

You're meeting with
Brandon Fisher?

-I think uh...
-Hmm. That was his name.

-Yeah, Brandon.
Yeah, that's it.
-I believe that's his name.

(SIGHS)

So April folded?

Okay, well, you,
you got the studio.

What are you coming to me for?

Wouldn't be the same
without you.

Yeah. Yeah. You want me to...

You want me to
hide the cash, okay?
Forget about it. No way!

Suit yourself.

Yeah. Okay.
I already told you.

I... I know what you people
do so...

(STUTTERS) You think I would
work with you people?

I'm a professional with
a reputation, okay?

(CAR ENGINE STARTS)

-It's so white.
-It is.

Now, how do they
keep it clean?

Can't be easy.

I've never seen trees
used for decoration like that.

-Have you?
-No.

I mean, look at that.
It's like they...

Do they cut it or...

MILES: This is us.

(MILES CLEARS THROAT)

Look at these two
heavy hitters. Fantastic.

Brandon, this is our producer,
Miles Daly.

Hello!

Um, and, uh, this is...

Our writer, Louis Darnell.

Louis, such a pleasure.

Sorry, guys. Phew!
Busy, busy morning.

Brandon,
it's been a while, huh?

-(PANTS) Rick Moreweather.
-Yeah.

Yeah, producer.

Fantastic.

Let me tell you something...

When I got this script,
first thing I thought was

there's only one executive
that we would wanna
partner with.

One. That's it. April Quinn.

Mmm-hmm. He picked me.

(CHUCKLES)
Well, she's passionate
about it.

Emotional.

I feel chemistry
going on here.

The secret to this studio?

Talented people who love
working together.

Hmm.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Exciting.

(BRANDON CHUCKLES)

And this right here,
this is only the beginning.
(CHUCKLES)

(ALL CHUCKLE)

(SELF-CONSCIOUS CHUCKLE)
