gonna be home well I'll call you later

ready

nice to see you you did she think well I

was surprised to hear from you what are

you doing I live here

now how interesting

well did you have something particular

in mind or you just renewing old

acquaintances i have something but maybe

a better that Alan going to that Alan

clear this is alan clay the television

meeting out i'm a big fan of your show

I'll like I said Allen's a television

producer and we have an idea we'd like

to talk to you about

well if you're interested in looking at

you I'm afraid you'll have to speak to

the management at Condor cable

well I I don't think you take the story

that far what story uh Alan makes movies

/ TV did you receive the Texas

cheerleader conspiracy

no I well I know you've watched Empire

like that he's married the best Cheney

the actor who plays always really but I

still don't see what that has to do with

is about

look I always afraid to ask you before

because I don't think he'd take me

seriously Claire I want your permission

to write a television movie about what

happened

that's out of the question dr. Roger I

dealt with several projects involving

people have gone through tragic

experiences you may find this hard to

believe but the process of making the

movie is actually helped heal emotional

wounds

what do you know about what happened to

me well nothing other than what i've

read from the material that Freddie

submitted

I just got that last night and we just

met this evening

well you move pretty quickly don't you

I'm impressed with your story and I

think we could make a first-rate

television movie I have no intention of

seeing my life splashed across a

television screen in some

sensationalistic horror flick and I am

deeply offended that you want to exploit

the tragic events in my life and I'm

warning you I'll go to any links

necessary to protect my privacy and

myself I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend

you i can assure you that i would pursue

this at all without your full

cooperation

that's the last thing you can expect

from me gentle

let me give you some advice ready before

you waste a lot of people's time and

energy pushing a true story

you better be damn sure you've got the

rights

trust me Alan she'll change her mind

[Music]

jackass has been working on this project

for months and hasn't even talked to one

person's permission is a must-have

meanwhile it's pouring buckets up here

no it's often done here too honey the

guys knocking at the door just a second

let me go critical

I'll be right there

[Music]

of course

thank you

excuse me too sick

coming up looks like I'm gonna have to

go back into another meeting and roll

well I think you should stay till

about mud slides on the 405 and I don't

want to worry about your sliding off the

road too bad

well I have to take care of that as soon

as I get home okay

mm let me you to dr. Archer what can I

do for you when i got to my car I

realized how brock type in obviously

you've been misled to I wanted to

apologize i should have assumed that

Freddie and your permission

actually I wanted to speak to you about

him around but I just slip out of that

wet rain coming into a dry martini

thank you I've been dying to use that

line for years so for Scott sure you

know already is notoriously unreliable

he unfortunately lost his job at UCLA do

is drinking problem

the way you were shooting doubles

tonight I can't believe it

what did he tell you about me well that

front of his tried to kill you and you

shot him in self-defense that scenario

repeated itself a year later after

you've got to work at a radio station

when somebody broke off the relationship

with tried to kill also the police on

him

well you must have formed an opinion

about me based on those stories maybe I

just question your taste in middle you

have very nice hand

for some reason i expect people who

produce television movies to be

unattractive

why is that you work in television

you're certainly try

you mentioned you read something that

ready had written about me

the teleplay so based on the story that

he hoped you go along with it's quite

good actually

mm-hmm

the roads are gonna be terrible was

thinking about driving back in the way I

don't think so and then the store

what did you talk about after that it's

not ready to drop the idea to leave you

along strange

coming from someone who drove all the

way up here to talk me into it

I came here to exploit a very good idea

assume somebody's gonna do anyway

against think of trying to change your

mind mr. wanna transfer

wonder how long it'll be before the

lights come back shouldn't try and drive

home till after daybreak get your room

I don't think that's gonna be necessary

you're still waiting till after the

storm

all I intend to

[Music]

the moreno valley was black Helen and I

know it's gonna call you back when

everything was blacked out always

electricity unless you baby on alone in

the dark with a griffey storm outside

that was a disaster

oh by the way Bob called you from New

York he wants to see you tomorrow

tomorrow

yeah don't bother trying to reach me

will be back too late tonight some of

the bitches putting me in turn around

I i know it she stopped worrying me why

we move up the meeting if he wasn't

gonna give you a green line because he

always likes to get the unpleasant stop

office calendar as soon as he can all

come on just lose those negative

thoughts until the walk was so hot in

moreno valley

what do you mean well I mean Bob

wouldn't have asked you to go up there

unless he had something in mind

Wow was just a wild goose chase on a

so-so idea the writer didn't even have

the rights to show how to Bob sound OH

busy you know what i was doing last

night while you were all alone in that

hotel

no honey yeah what were you doing well I

had this brilliant idea for Louis and

she hits her head and she starts going

thing and she decides that she's a

high-priced call girl I don't know honey

they're pretty protective about Louis

his image I know what I'm pretty sick of

it and I am I just figured if they're

not gonna find a way for me to stretch

all i could do you say when you read it

yeah i'll read another yeah I just need

to prepare for my meeting with Bob first

okay maybe you should try to take a nap

you look like you haven't slept all

night

[Music]

that Bob instead of our heroine and

makeup all alone on the guy with the

birds

she's joined by some of the locals from

the beginning treated her like a loony

now these swamp rats they come out to

the island bringing cake cider its

inheritance of Valor Bob its warmth

it's an operates its humanity in the end

she is won their respect

now I worked up a few ideas here now

think Jane Jessica thanks sissy any

Oscar went over for you want to kill for

this role

Bob you gotta love it I got him but I

don't come on you're right these

mock-ups are done what do i know i'm not

right it's a concept that only well you

don't have to personally like it Bob

there's no jeopardy no tension no

suspense low danger

you got a woman alone on an island for a

year out there protecting nesting birds

Bob you don't see the danger in that

from snakes and mosquitoes made for

Christ's sake Alan a woman is not in

jeopardy unless the danger comes from a

man my friend you know I think you've

been bitten by the I want to do

something classy bug so what's wrong

with that what's wrong with that is that

you are one of the best thriller

producers in the business we need to

realize we want really i'm ready to cut

off my deck for a sexy woman in peril

story you're offering me a grandmother

trying to save birds I'd like to help

you out on this one Alan but I can

woman involved with two men who tried to

kill it

there's a problem with the rights you

can't get her permission but she's dead

set against it but

couldn't move her with a stick of

dynamite try the other stick you would

think that they would be thrilled to

have me come in with a solid gold idea

how many directors and producers are

never thrilled with actors trying to

rewrite their parts if I don't want to

expand it

do you realize that people only watching

Empire to see the sexy bitches in action

yeah but sexy bitches have sweet little

do-gooders like Louis to screw around

didn't see I found a way to have it both

ways

come on that's the same level 20 idea

it's been around since Moses in short

pants I got at least that you would

support me on this bad since they won't

let Louis have a split personality

that's a high-priced call girl I've got

a better idea

yeah what if she gets pregnant what it

what if you get pregnant

well it's a perfect time for us to start

a family maybe you could work it into

the show

oh yeah right Alan and I just I would

have to take myself out of contention

for every single TV movie or miniseries

for the next two years

honey I'm not just worked so hard on

this old body to just let it swell up

like a right not to like get that that

break to part what about me

what if I'm ready

well then you will just have to go out

and get me that sexy partners to be time

producer I mean that's why I married you

get it we are letting your help right

hello mr. traini my name is pretty

summers his own home

work right now would you please tell him

I called have an important message was

from clear Archer ok a message from

Claire Archer but I'll take it

Claire's reconsidered I've been leaving

messages and she finally called me back

good feeling from you Alan

movie

little late tonight I got a major deal

Hoani plane i hope so

listen I'll be kind of late

[Music]

I got your message which one ESP or the

1i sent through reading both loud and

clear

let's go up by the pool so Freddie said

you'd reconsider

let's just say I decided to let you try

to talk me into it

would you like something to drink oh no

thanks I'm fine i was glad you made it

home alright after that amazing story

let's just clear about that night was

one of those once in a million years

kind of things wasn't exactly you know

than I would have expected from someone

who produced the Texas cheerleader

conspiracy

so you saw it and didn't everybody to

tell you the truth is why practically

ran screaming out of the hotel lounge at

night

let's see the movie i see about you

would be nothing like that neither one

of us could have known that we were

going to be alone in a hotel room during

a blackout did you take advantage of me

what did I take advantage of you we're

just give me permission to do the moving

and I will never let anything like that

happen again

oh yes you will

[Music]

that

yeah sweetheart honey i'm back Beth and

Claire don't you like me

come on baby but what are you doing

ok

anyway after I read the script and I saw

those clippings I realized she'd written

a textbook so I just went over to be

UCLA library and found it

hey that's too bad little research

assistant at my not wanting that bad at

all when you say I convinced you that I

can play the room with clear this looks

pretty kinky stuff like for this part is

not what I wanted to hear

look still a maybe deal they don't have

the rights and i'm not even sure I want

to do it yet

Alan please I mean this part could be

the breakthrough for me this is the part

of trained about you just got to get

this and then you've got to tell Bob but

ok

I'll Freddie full of surprises

I never would have expected you to be a

gun enthusiast you think it helped my

career the ability to use again never

hurt anybody's career in Hollywood

that's for sure

there you go you know this is my first

paying job is right

well that's just the option body don't

go shopping for Ferraris yeah it's gonna

help fund the research i wanna hear on

know kind of soak up some of the

atmosphere what your way with us I

degree you don't get any more money

delicious science you understand right

gallon I'm gonna be a neophyte this but

I've heard about writers getting dumped

once their ID is one option maybe even

signed the contract yet already getting

writers insecure don't get writer's

block on your right i mean who else

would you get to do this i'm the guy

with all the details

hats

just relax take it easy for a few days

let me sweat out getting clear our

signature on those releases don't worry

Alan I guarantee she's gonna do it

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

that penny what's up i ordered why are

you expecting something clear orders

contract

oh wow good evening this is looking at

you and I'm dr. Claire Archer what

instance research

dammit you're pushing this and I don't

hundred percent sure and producing well

I don't know why you're acting like such

a jerk

I mean I thought you'd be proud of me

for taking some initiative

I'm sorry honey

maybe I'm too superstitious but I don't

want to jinx this project by wanting it

too much you understand

ok

[Music]

I know you know what to do and when to

do it

so do it hi Claire its Alan how are you

listen I hope everything's okay i

haven't got the agreement yet just one

fix the problem i give me a call when

you get an iphone have been thinking

about you

you're listening to knsa be the source

of new age music in the central valley

area this is slack myers tone symphony

for water vapor and repeating child so

you're writing a movie about dr. Claire

it's a movie for television yeah I'm not

surprised I'm not tried to kill you

should have heard some of the calls that

came in on that show

I tell me about it i can pay a few bucks

to get a feeling of what it was like

Ronnie that oh it's all different now

new format different personnel I'm the

only guy left from when big Chuck around

the station this is big check

yeah that's him and no one was the low

them you know he died right here

I'm not give me a heart attack right in

this chair he was pulling the night

shift on April Fool's Day no less

wait a minute I thought you said he ran

the station yeah but you gotta

understand chuck chuck was a jerk but

every now he can you get this wild hair

and he just had to take over my show but

actually all he was doing was bringing

in some bimbo that he wanted to get to

join me on the air club

I'm the club like the mile-high club big

chuck was into kink check this out

as kinky alright yeah it that i found

that behind the console a couple months

ago we had this engineer real goof he

would Mike the studio so that everything

that went on in here when it up on the

aircheck tape everything that went down

when big chuck was in here got recorded

you have those tapes around through here

this stuff has her actual dialogue the

people who called in

yeah this is great well I don't think

they're gonna miss three little tapes to

you said something about some cash i'll

give you twenty-five bucks apiece for

make it an even hundred and all throwing

big Chuck you gotta deal three tapes and

a picture of big Chuck in action

alright

[Music]

it's a game

come on let's play another way i've

added all right I'm hit the shower you

could let me win once just for my pride

you never seen you like this just

sitting around waiting for the other

side to do something

come on make that woman sign my supposed

to do better for the gun to her head

whatever happened that silver-tongued

devil could talk any woman into anything

this woman is a PhD psychologist I don't

think sweet-talking manipulation are

going to work with her

oh yeah but just listen to this quote

manipulation intimidation and even

physical force can intensify sensuality

when consented to by the partners in a

sexual act

this book is a study of sex and violence

it's not a business manual i know you if

you wanted to sleep with her you'd find

a way to get her to do whatever you want

it would you stop that you just want me

to play the part you want me to be stuck

rest of my life you know what I think I

think your freedom gonna become a sex

object

hello

oh I'm sorry he can't come to the phone

right now could I take a message i'll

really that's terrific

no no listen I have a much better idea

guess he's dropping by

I thought you were working today oh I am

I am

it's just a clear Archer called and she

was over at the UCLA library so I told

her to come on over

what so you better get dressed unless of

course you think showing her your

masculinity would compel her to sign on

the dotted line

[Music]

[Music]

you must enjoy being a television star

well yeah just a my character she's such

a twist and that doesn't feel you know

just give me a wrong with a little spunk

and sex with you give me a man with the

same quality think I was gonna like had

admitted i read your book and i knew i

was gonna like you have a minute I met

your husband and look what a wonderful

producer easy answers right on cue

dr. Archer of clarity it's good to see

let Tom take some Polaroids of me when

Tom died already cleaned out his office

telling what kind of horrible things

he's writing about me

he's not going to do anything to hurt

you i won't let him island i'm so alone

[Music]

good evening this is looking at you and

I'm dr. Claire Archer lean Leslie we're

looking at you

hello dr. Archer we kind of have this

problem and what's that you don't have

to be shy

you could be perfectly frank well it's

kind of embarrassing

I really lovely in everything but it

hurts me you know when we make love

Leslie

have you tried to lubricant will let us

know how that works out and we'll be

right back after these words

[Music]

out with it are you doing buddy I got

she signed the agreement

this calls for a drink she hasn't signed

the agreement yet what's the problem

Claire's worried that something

potentially embarrassing might be

lurking in the shadows a woman who host

a talk show that puts cameras in the

bedroom of wacko exhibitionist can't be

embarrassed

no but the network can be lets say for

example some sexually compromising

photographs of Claire show up in the

tabloids the day after the show airs

it's serious aren't you

yeah I am serious and you should be too

Freddie

now maybe it's just because you were Tom

ratings friend but Claire is more than

just a little bit uncomfortable with the

idea of you writing your story I get it

you came here to dump me know I came

here to save you from being dumped

but i really like your first draft

Freddie and I'm sure the second one is

gonna be even better but I still have to

get past glory and the network and I

can't do that as long as I think you're

holding something out on me like what

player said that Tom reading took

x-rated Polaroid's of her and she thinks

that you have to Tom writing was

screwing her every time he turned around

what would you need pictures for he was

having enough trouble keeping his way

from knowing about the affair might be

crazy to keep pictures of clearing his

desk he was crazy enough to try and kill

her

that's what the corner decided

[Music]

[Music]

yeah these pictures were taken the same

camera partner is a leap of the wheel is

a man who knows he's doing alright honey

that Alzheimer's bug is really going

around pal I'm ready for a margarita

stronger in here because I'm just trying

to understand time

[Music]

I've got to have your clear make love to

me now

sexual partners based on my knees not

I'm a new woman now Oh your bra like to

see I did both of you oh thanks well

they never saw you like this on Empire

darling listen I am destined to play

this part please promise me you'll think

about it you better think about it we'd

be lucky to get you

and now where's that has 20 years I'm

starving

it's a dundeel gang clear Archer just

gave me the green light

I tried calling your house was no answer

thought I might find you here can I talk

to you for a second sure

we got a problem ready that's a

reoccurring theme with you Alan no it's

not me it's Claire oh-so-close got a

problem i thought you said we listen I'm

in a very difficult position Freddie I

just want you to see the situation

objectively I'm a trained scientist Alan

I got a ph fucking d objectivity is my

middle name

listen I need to make some changes in

our deal you know what this is what

their checks of clothes show and

everything else that was broadcast on

that radio station where she worked

what about it didn't even read the new

stuff i mean create dialogue everything

she said verbatim crazy stuff for caller

said it's all in the new draft I don't

have a problem with the writing Freddie

my problem is political

I'll give me that crap Alan this is not

is an election Freddie look there's no

easy way to say this I have to bring in

another writer on the project over my

dead body

listen you'll still get full payment

production bonus is everything you'll

even get a shared writing credit we got

a contract Alan I'm the guy who found

this story remember Claire Archer wants

a woman writer Freddie there's nothing I

can do about how is that what she said

she wants a woman writer now Fred you're

best friends with a guy she had to shoot

don't you understand that it's

uncomfortable for her and she wants a

female point of view

no that's not it yeah to calm down she's

worried about the truth she doesn't want

you writing about it because she knows

away with it neither are you

I'm not quitting nobody's gonna make me

stop

ok for 192 writes the one I want

that's weird half the day Chuck guides

missing but we got the one you want the

night shift right

300 right yeah one to thank you thank

you for listening to jazz still dawn and

this is the old woodchuck himself

sitting again tonight

now let's go to something soft and

mellow for all you lovers out there

come on over here baby that will hold

for 20 minutes

come on join the club how do you know

we're not being heard over the radio

studio mics off no one can hear us

coming it i want to show you something

that Claire you expect me to wear it to

you I expect a lot more

I agree with the allen new script is

good but the way I see it we need one

more suspenseful twist right at the end

of the picture

Claire's gotta be in jeopardy right to

the end I think I follow you but we'll

need to take some liberties with the

truth

my idea is this player starts a new

relationship

at first we think this guy's perfect but

into his real character we see him

stalking Claire we know she's in big

trouble but you don't want to detract

from her triumph over adversity do you

well give it to the new writer and see

what happens right want her to have some

alternate endings

there's one other thing we want to talk

about and that's actually the reason for

any came with me today

ever since you mesmerized Franny and me

the other day

the wheels have been turning about

that's what I was hoping would happen

you're gonna love this

what Claire needs is something very

special and Beth is the perfect person

to give it to her

I love you Claire needs a best friend

and now we're back with Fiona I like

your professional opinion dr. clay do

friend of mine

of sexual violence is your friend a man

situations can you give me an example

I'm sorry but we don't allow their party

photographs are looking at you up with

that she's never done that before
