(Brooke) Welcome to movie screens. Hi, I'm Brooke.

I'm here with the lovely and talented Mia Roarke.

(Mia) Thanks for having me.

(Brooke) Well, thanks for coming on.

You must be so busy.

Listen, tell us about "Wild Sunset."

Okay, so, "Wild Sunset" is a movie I'm so proud of.

Um, it's a period piece, it's set in 1850 in America

and it's about a woman called Maggie, who I play

who is this incredibly complicated and conflicted woman

and who thinks her life is gonna look this way

and ends up having this life

and is forced into, um, appropriating

and-and-and, um, and-and she's forced into a life

that she just did not set out to have.

How much of you, how much of Mia really goes into your character?

What do you say?

Really, what I strive for in my work

is to just have a complete melding

between Mia and the character, so that you don't really know.

I don't really know who is who and that there's a fusion

between character and-and actor.

Okay, so you met Liam on set.

I did.

'What was that like working together?'

It was great.

I mean, he is just such a great actor

and you know, playing opposite someone like that

it's just, you know it's that old

uh, you know, it just raises the bar.

'But I see it over from over here'

is that an engagement ring?

'Oh, there it is. Okay! Well, no hiding it.'

'I saw it when you walked in, but I didn't wanna'

- 'I didn't wanna open with..' - So pretty.

'"Are you engaged?"'

So, um, listen, is it hard

for you to just suddenly be in the public eye?

You know, I-I don't see it that way and that's why being

with Liam has been so helpful because it's like

we're kind of going through this together

and sometimes I feel like we're the..

- It's us against the world. - 'Right.'

And-and that's just an incredibly safe and-and

beautiful feeling, to feel sort of cocooned in, you know..

- Yeah. - Alright, Mia.

Final question here and then

I'll let you out of the hot seat.

If you had a magic wand ten years from now

'where-where do we see you? What are you doing?'

Uh, if I had a magic wand ten years from now.

Well, I think I would be, I would definitely be living in

California and I would be with, uh, with Liam obviously.

and-and there'd be--

- 'Babies?' - Ba..

- You know, hopefully. Yeah. - 'Right.'

And, um, I'd be working or have worked with tons of interesting

people and been on incredible locations and had, you know

more amazing experiences like I had on "Wild Sunset."

[cell phone beeps]

[cell phone ringing]

- Hello? - 'Hi, can I speak to Mia?'

'I have Annabel on the line.'

Yeah, hey, no, it's me, it's Mia.

(Annabel) 'I have great news for you.'

'I was at a party the other night and I was talking to'

'Dag Dunkerk's producer'

'and she told me Dag's doing a new film.'

'We had a great conversation about you'

'and she called me today. Dag wants to meet you.'

Really? Well, that is huge.

That's major. Annabel, I just.. I love his movies.

See, I told you that your way was the way to go.

'It's for the lead.'

'I think there are only three people in the whole movie.'

Okay, and did you read the scripts? Is it any good?

'I did read it.'

'I think it's definitely intriguing.'

'I-I didn't really understand it, to be honest'

'and I know it's gone to all the major actresses'

'and everyone's path.'

'There's a lot of hard core stuff involved.'

Okay, well, um, that sounds like it's perfect for me then.

[chuckles] Um, when does he wanna meet?

'He'll be in town this week.'

'I'll set it up if you like the script.'

Great. Okay.

'Noah, please send Mia the Dag Dunkerk's script.'

Okay, Annabel, thank you, and, um, I will call you

as soon as I read this. I'm really excited.

- 'It's on the way.' - Bye.

[sighs]

(Mia) 'Yeah, I know. Now-now is not the good time.'

I'm running at the door.

Yeah, you know, I'm just going this work thing.

Uh-huh. Yeah, but call me.

I-is everything okay?

Are you sure?

Alright, maybe I'll swing by later?

Alright. Bye, mom.

[knock on door]

[knocking]

- Hello? - Ah! Finally.

Sit down, sit down.

Oh, okay.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[chuckles]

I, um, I love this hotel.

'It seems like everyone stays here.'

What did you think about the script?

'Oh, I, um, I-I loved it. It's-it's-it's weird.'

I had to read it few times to figure out what was going on

but I, um, I-I, I loved it.

And did you...figured out?

'Oh, I think I have an interpretation.'

Okay. So, okay..

So, it's about this woman who has this recurring dream

and the dream is, it's vivid and it's strange

but it's also incredibly exciting and she starts

'to become obsessed with it.'

And then her waking life starts to seem dull and plain

and you know, disconnected by comparisons

so she, you know, starts to loose herself.

Which life is real? Which life isn't real?

'And she-she wants to dream life to be real, so she chooses'

'that and she surrenders to it with-with all her heart.'

But then, you know, she starts to seem

insane to the rest of her world, but she doesn't care.

She would rather live that way.

Which is impressive.

Most American actresses do not have imagination.

Oh, my God, It's a great script.

It's a great part, it's..

I wrote it about my wife. You look a little like her.

Oh. Okay, I didn't know that that was based on a true story.

If you mean, was I married to a woman who went insane? Yes.

You mean, she chose the other man.

Yes, I suppose she did.

Come.

'Come.'

Bring your drink.

You know what, maybe you think that she went insane

because you-you you'd rather accept that

than-than, than come to terms with the fact that

she fell in love with someone else.

- Do you suck cock? - Excuse me?

Do you suck cock?

[chuckles]

Do you mean on camera?

All these prudish American actresses

will not show their tits, let alone their pussies.

You've already shown your tits, so I like this. This is strong.

Well, I have definitely.

You know, if it's an integral part of the story, I..

'Sex is always part of the story.'

Right.

You have sex, your life is a story.

Sex is part of the story.

It must be real. I need realism.

You know, when they fuck, it must be real.

- Oh! - I'm sorry.

- I was.. - No, it's okay.

Give me your hand.

Oh!

Come with me. Come with me.

- Come with me. - Where?

Come here.

- Ouch! - You're okay?

- Yeah. - Okay?

You see, Mia..

...you said to me there are certain things

you are not prepared to do, but to me, this is bullshit.

Aah!

No, thank you.

- I-- - Do you want to go to Cannes?

Do you want to get an Oscar nomination?

Do you want to have a comeback?

I think you do. I see it in your eyes.

You need it. You long for it again.

I love that desperation in you.

You know, this is beautiful.

And I can give it to you.

For actors like you this is your chance

and you can have it, but you must trust me

you must trust me, okay?

Okay, I need you to trust me on this.

And yes, things will be uncomfortable

very uncomfortable, and then you think, oh, what.

But then you use it, don't you?

You use it because life is uncomfortable.

You know that, you know that.

"The Fallen Queen," the jilted lover.

Yes? Take that pain, put it into the film. Yeah?

Be my muse. Be my muse, Mia, and it will be incredible.

[chuckles]

- No. - No?

You're not willing to come, this is it.

Mia, this is it, you are not willing to trust me.

You are not willing to come on the adventure with me.

Yes? You gotta lose yourself.

- Now you gotta lose yourself-- - I am.

- You must lose yourself. - I am.

Yeah, no, no, you're not, you're resisting

because you are not willing to come on the adventure.

If you do not lose yourself, I cannot work with someone

who is not completely willing to become what I want her to be.

- Yes? Will you do this? - Yes.

- Will you do this? - Okay.

- Okay, it's your own choice. - Alright.

'Up to you.'

[chuckles]

- Ooh! - Okay, that's good.

Get your hair out of the way.

That's sit. Do another line.

That's good.

That's good. Now, come with me.

I want to show you something.

I assure you it's okay.

You gotta trust me.

No, I-I don't wanna go in to the bathroom.

- You're gonna have a shower. - I took a shower.

- You've seen a shower before. - Yeah, I don't want a shower.

We are not gonna have sex.

- We're not gonna have sex. - No.

- You want to have sex? - No.

No.

(male #1) 'Mia. It's Liam.'

Hey.

- What's going on? Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm good.

I'm just, I have, I wanna.. I just wanna go home.

I.. I've be here forever, okay?

No, I'm fine.

Well, I'll take you.

You shouldn't be driving, come on.

[instrumental music]

So, apart from your new coke habit, how's life?

[chuckles] It's good. You know, the same, can't complain.

Anything I can do, how's the house?

It's good.

Kathy?

Hanging in there.

Still "Valley Of The Dolls.."

[both laughing]

I don't know, she's getting better.

You talk to her five times a day.

Can you let that go?

[chuckles]

I don't wanna talk about me anyway.

I wanna talk about you, how's everything going?

- Good? - Yeah, it's good, you know..

But..

- I mean you're a big star now-- - Oh, shut up.

Oh, uh, sorry, congratulations, by the way.

What for?

Um, Elle.

You guys set a date yet?

Okay, well, that's..

[sighs]

...bit complicated.

We're having a several..

...communication issues.

Hmm. That sounds familiar.

No.

Communication was never the problem between you and me.

[instrumental music]

I miss you.

How weird to say?

I don't know.

[cell phone ringing]

[sighs]

- Oh, shit. - No, you should take that.

Pick it up.

- I have to go in anyway. - I'm sorry.

- No, of course. - I'm sorry.

Bye!

- Hello. - 'Where the fuck are you?'

- 'I've been waiting for you.' - 'Hey, I'm sorry.'

'I was just gonna call you up. I was just dropping off Steve.'

So, um, wait, how does this work exactly?

So, I take all the pictures, I do all the listings

and I take 50% of the total sales

that includes all eBay and PayPal fees

and they pay out every 30 days.

Cool?

(Mia) 'Cool.'

[sighs]

How does this look on me?

It looks great.

- Yeah? - 'Mm-hmm.'

God, I can't believe we're getting rid of all this stuff.

It's all so awesome.

Oh, well, you know, I was just, you know

trying to unload a little bit. You know how it is.

- Yeah. - You just get so sick of stuff.

So sick of it.

Do you mind if I go through everything before I sell it?

I just love that it's all so vintage.

But I thought you were doing this to make

like a little extra cash.

That was before I booked my pilot.

What? Oh, Charlie, that is great.

- Yay! I'm so happy for you. - 'I know.'

- I'm really, really psyched. - 'Oh!'

And now I need a whole new wardrobe.

Well, sweetie, don't worry about that.

You're gonna have a whole new wardrobe on set.

Oh, well, this is for the paparazzi.

Yeah, the network thinks it's gonna be this huge hit and..

You know, actually I was thinking

there was a role in it for you.

Really?

She's this total cool character. You'd be amazing.

I'm gonna tell E.J. about you.

'Who's that?'

E.J. Abstein.

The creator.

We're totally buds, he's super cool, he's like 30

but we're buds.

[telephone ringing]

Hello.

(Annabel) 'Mia, did I wake you? How are you today?'

Well, hey, Annabel, what's up?

'So who fights for you always?'

Uh, you do.

'We are looking at something potentially big.'

'It's an just an audition, but it's for a fantastic pilot.'

'Do you know E.J. Abstein?'

Oh, yeah, yeah, right.

My, uh, my neighbor Charlie just booked his show.

'Charlotte Riley, yes, we just signed her.'

'Everyone's so excited about her.'

'You'd be playing the mother.'

Uh, Charlie Riley's mother?

'It's a great part. Kooky.'

I'm sorry, Annabel, uh, don't you, I mean, uh, don't you..

Don't you think I'm a little young

to be playing Charlie Riley's mother?

[telephone ringing]

Sorry.

[ringing continues]

(Mia) So E.J.'s not here today?

No, it's just me today.

E.J.'s looking at tape for the first round.

Alright.

So questions about the scene?

Uh, is there anything you want me to keep in mind?

Mm-hmm. So, just remember, it's a fine line.

Yes, she's a mom, a kooky mom. She's a hot kooky mom.

Like, um, Susie's mom.

From the video. From the song.

Oh, you mean Stacey's mom.

[laughing]

Oh, my God, Stacey's mom.

- Um, yeah, okay, and, Mia.. - Hmm?

If this goes any further, just try to look

like, really pretty.

Make an effort to look a little more together, okay?

- Okay. - Alright, ready?

Action.

[instrumental music]

(male #2) 'It's super easy the whole procedure.'

'It takes like 45 minutes.'

- Does it leave a scar? - Yeah.

Tell me, what's, what's the alternative?

I mean, it's better that than..

I mean, think about these little, these kids in Africa.

They have more important things to worry about than an easy fix

deformation procedure.

I wish I could do something like that, you know?

You can. You absolutely can.

Frown. Look, look excited.

Go like, look down.

Now, surprise.

Yeah, seriously, five minutes.

Five minutes, boom, you won't look so pissed all the time.

But I am pissed all the time.

- I know. - I'm so pissed.

[scoffs]

Do you really think my face not holding back

is holding me back as an actor?

[laughing]

- It's a simple procedure, huh? - Yup.

You're so noble.

Like you're goin' to Africa to fix

the little Africans' cleft palates

and then the old actress' cleft foreheads.

'I'm so lucky to be your friend.'

You are lucky to be my friend.

You know what? You should come.. Let's do it..

well, just come to my place, we'll make a night of it.

Okay, okay.

Oh, um, also, I have, uh, prescription in the car for you.

Aw, thank you, Dr. Phil.

I don't know what my mom would do without you.

How is she? Are you taking care of her?

- Yeah, you know, yeah. - What does that mean?

- Hi! - What's up?

- I have some, um, stuff. - Alright.

Should I just open everything up?

- 'Please.' - Okay.

That's platinum.

This is, um, diamond.

Um, but, um..

This.

I may get all the stuff real soon.

No more rich boyfriend or what?

[chuckles] No, I'm an actress. It's just..

- 'Oh, you're an actress?' - Yeah.

- Yeah, sure you are. - No, really I am.

They all are.

These are rose cut.

(male #3) It's really great to meet you.

(Mia) It's great to meet you too.

(male #3) Just so great.

(Mia) It's great, great.

Why're you wearing your sunglasses inside?

Oh, I-I completely forgot, sorry.

There we go. Now, I can get a real look at you.

You seem smaller than you do on TV.

Oh, like, 'cause I knew exactly who you were when Jen called.

You know, normally I would say absolutely

not to dating an actress

but when I thought about the movies you did

you always make me laugh.

Uh, I thought that's important, you know.

So sweet.

- So here I am. - Here you are.

- And what about me? - What?

What made you wanna go out with me?

Oh! Oh, I was, I wasn't looking to go out with anybody really

but Jen was just raving about you and..

She's such a doll.

- What an amazing lady. - Oh, she's lovely.

But you guys did a show together.

We did a movie actually.

I don't know. Movie..

I don't even go to the movie theater anymore.

You know, you can get a movie the day it comes out

right in your house.

(female #1) 'Hey, can I take your order?'

I'll have a...you know

I think I'll have a glass of white wine.

Oh, uh, Mia, do you mind refraining from drinking?

I'm-I'm recovering and it's..

Oh, okay, of course. I'm so sorry.

Just some water.

Thanks. I'll have a coke, two limes, no ice.

Yeah, I used to love to drink.

So, how do you and Jen know each other?

- She didn't tell you? - She did not.

- I did her pool. - Ohh!

I do pools.

- Oh, I didn't know that. - What?

It's not good enough for you?

Oh, God, no not at all.

It's just that, well, I don't have a pool.

I don't know how to swim, I don't like to swim.

I'm actually.. I'm afraid of water.

Well, uh, it's a very lucrative business, pools.

- Oh, I'm sure. - Especially in Los Angeles.

I mean, the bigger the better.

Waterfalls, decks, Jacuzzis, stonework, salt water filter

fresh water filter, ozone filters.

I mean, you name it and my business is booming right now.

I think that's great, you seem so enthusiastic

about your job and..

[scoffs] You don't have to feel sorry for me.

Oh, Mike, I don't. Not at all.

You're telling.. Mia, I get it, I get it, I get it.

You're an actress, you think you're hot stuff.

You deserve to be with somebody of your own standing.

Right there, put on your fancy sunglasses.

- Shut down or whatever you do. - Okay.

It's fine, you know.

I wasn't that excited to come on this date either.

But I'm open to life, you know.

You ever, you ever get invited to a party

and you don't want to go but then you go

with no expectations, you know.

Expectations are resentments in training.

That's what I learned.

Go with no expectations

and y-you end up having a great time.

I don't know what you're open to here.

You seem super shutdown.

You seem scared.

You seem scared, little lonely..

...and sad, that's what I'm getting.

I-I'm a great guy, Mia.

You would have been pretty lucky

to fall for a guy like me.

You know, so, it would've been unexpected.

I may not be the best-looking guy in the whole world

but, I mean, have you looked in the mirror?

You're not as hot as you used to be.

- Okay. - Can you even have kids?

What are you bringing to the table here?

Okay, thank you so much for a lovely lunch.

What.. Come on. Come back here and stand up for yourself.

I came all the way from Simi.

That was a disaster.

[instrumental music]

(Anja) 'So, E.J.'s thinking about going out to Saffron Pike'

'for the role of Beaver, he is crazy about her.'

[indistinct chattering on TV]

[women laughing]

- Thank you, so much. - Thanks.

- Mia? - C'est moi.

Come on in, E.J.'s waiting for you.

- Hi. - Hi!

Mia! Mia, Mia, Mia..

So, I have heard an earful about you from the lovely

Ms. Charlie, she won't stop talking about you.

It's kind of annoying.

'She's convinced that you should play her mom.'

Oh, you know that girl she's got it all figured out.

I on the other hand

I'm not entirely convinced.

I know you can act, I know, as I'm familiar

with your work, of course, but, uh..

...are you funny?

You know?

Oh, okay.

I PA'd on Wild Sunset.

Do you.. I don't know if you remember.

No, I do, I thought you looked familiar.

When I walked into the room, I..

You're vegan I would get you those special meals

all the time.

Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I spilled that drink on you at the rat party.

Yeah, right, of course.

You still don't remember, do you?

Well, I hope I was nice about it.

Anyway, I, I just, I loved the script.

I think it's such a good part.

And so complex, and..

Yes, no, it's great, it's very, very

special, I wrote it myself.

You know we're excited to see

what you got, M.

Does anyone ever call you M?

Mm-mm, not really.

- But.. - Anja!

Shall we?

Is this good, here?

A little bit to your right.

- Camera right, okay, here. - Your right, okay.

Okay, so, can you please state your name

and agency for the camera?

Mia Rorke, MGT.

(Anja) 'So, Mia, let's just talk a little bit first'

'so we can get to know you.'

Okay, you guys don't want me to read?

- 'Cause I prepared.. - 'Oh, no, no.'

(E.J.) 'Hey-hey, M, M, M, over here, alright?'

'I need to see what you've got.'

'Alright? I-I-I need improv.'

'A little, uh, you know, funny, is what I need.'

'Like, whoo! Yeah! Alright, funny.'

'I need you to show me, what you think is funny.'

Aah!

Ah!

I even even put on my scrubs for ya.

(Phil) 'Babe, I'm telling you this is gonna look so good.'

It's like, uh, it's like a bee sting.

Just a little...nwep!

I'm closing my eyes, I'm going to my happy place.

'Alright, go to your happy place.'

Bee stings hurt.

'Bee stings what?'

It's like, um, like a little pinch.

Little, pinchy pinch.

- 'Smells so good.' - Oh, my God, let me see.

[gasping] You look amazing.

- I do? - Yeah, you do.

Total mundane difference.

You're so full of shit. I didn't even do it.

- She didn't do it. - What?

She didn't do it. It's not her.

- It's not me. - Oh, God, groan.

- Why? - Why do you think..

Listen, this is your last chance.

'I'm leaving for Kenya day after tomorrow.

- Why you letting him do that? - I'm not letting him do it.

- It's dangerous. - I know it's totally dangerous.

It's not dangerous.

I can't believe that neither of you guys are coming.

This is a life-changing experience.

They should make it mandatory for all Angelenos.

- We're not good people. - We're not. But you are.

- You're a very good person. - A great man.

Thank you.

Can we change the subject now?

- Yes. - Okay.

So, I'm shooting...we're shooting at the Paramore

the other day, and guess who's there?

"L" and she is being an absolute bitch

to this poor stylist about what she was wearing and her shoes

just a total, total, diva, right.

So, then, right in the middle of it her phone rings

and she picks it up and in front of everybody

she gets into a knockdown drag out fight with Liam.

Right in front of everybody.

Well, thought this was news, but..

...guess not.

Yeah, actually I saw him the other day.

Really?

Yeah, and it was nice. It was really good.

I mean, you know, it wasn't great

but it was nice.

- Good, th-that's major. - Yeah.

Good, Mia.

Slap out of it. Fasten your seatbelts.

It's going to be a bumpy night.

May I ask you a question?

What do you think of me, Benjamin?

Whoever you are, I have always depended

on the kindness of strangers.

You know how to whistle don't you, Steve?

You just put your lips together and blow.

[instrumental music]

Well, don't go snooping through my things

if you don't wanna find certain things.

Just because I'm speeding in a jetpack towards menopause city

doesn't mean that I don't have needs, missy.

[chuckles]

Awesome. So, awesome.

Now, do it standing up.

Okay.

Okay.

Uh, it's the life, not the lines.

That's what my coach tells me.

And really give it to her, M.

Don't hold back this time, remember...funny.

Funny.

Just because I'm speeding in a jetpack towards menopause city

doesn't mean that I don't have needs, missy.

[all laughing]

Whoo!

Guys, I don't know what

other moms you're thinking about?

But this mom, this is so my mom.

[instrumental music]

(Brad on voicemail) 'Hey, Mia, it's Brad'

'the publicist from E.J.'s office.'

'I'm waiting in the swag room. Are you coming?'

So, Mia here is great friends with Charlie Riley.

- Love her. - 'Charlie's fantastic.'

And one of my newest best friends.

[laughing]

- And the next big thing, right? - Totally.

This one here is gonna be the next big thing's mommy, right?

Well, listen let's toast to a great gifting experience.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Cheers, pubs.

[upbeat music]

(male #4) 'Oh, yeah, that looks cute.'

- What about that? - 'Genius.'

We should Instagram some of this.

Yeah, absolutely.

Should I put it down the brim or up?

(male #4) 'I think you can wear it either way.'

- 'Down it looks more French.' - Oh, French, I like it.

(male #5) 'Oh, let me get a shot of that.'

Okay.

- Hold on. - Yeah, you should get me.

But let me, let me post mine first. okay?

I hate it when people post before I post.

Mm.

So fresh.

What is that vetiver?

[man laughing]

Anyway my-my Instagram name is

Gift Walkers.

- Okay. - Gift Walkers.

You see at Gift Walkers.

Here I come in the fur chubby.

- 'Oh, living this.' - Yeah. You like it?

Do you mind if I get a shot of that on you?

- Fur chubby is really good. - Oh, that is genius.

- Is it real fur? - 'No, no, no.'

'Cause I don't do real fur.

Okay, but no one has to know if it's fur.

She can have both of them.

Yeah, she can have whatever she wants.

Here I am.

Hello.

(male #4) 'Has some sandalwood in it.'

- Jasmine. - 'Oh.'

Like it.

Let me get a shot of that my sponsors will love it.

Excellent.

- 'Oh, that's a sab.' - Oh, okay.

You rub it on anything that's irritated.

Look at this.

(male #5) 'Uh, well, let's I, let's turn it more to the front'

'because you get the full effect.'

- Cake. - That is so right with her..

Really, it's so chic.

- It's really good. - You have an eye.

You really have an eye.

She used to be a client.

I love this bag so much.

'Oh, and I'm so happy to let you have it.'

Thank you. Oh! Love it.

Oh, my gosh. I love, love, love, this is--

Sorry, sorry, sorry, th-that's, that's reserved.

Skittles.

Skittles.

Meal time.

Come on, let me give you some food, buddy.

Come on, where are you?

Skittles.

[sighs]

(Annabel on voicemail) 'Hey, Mia, listen, some bad news'

'they went with someone else for the show.'

'They said you hit it out of the park'

'but that you came on a little too strong'

'for what they were looking for.'

'It's a shame, but we'll find something else.'

'Now, I know that it's the last thing you want to do'

'but don't forget Tark's reshoot tonight'

'they're sending a car and you have..'

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter on radio]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[indistinct chattering]

Have you talked to him?

It's been three days.

I'm getting all antsy.

[chuckles]

But he's been texting you, right?

Ah. Every morning 7 a.m. sharp. Like a rooster.

Oh, you're fine.

He's thinking about you.

He just knows you're working for the hour.

he's probably too tired to talk.

Yeah.

- Or too dumb. - Yeah.

'I haven't asked him how old he is, I think he's like..'

'I don't know, I'm thinking he's like'

'12 years younger than I am.'

Really? Lucky you.

'I don't know, uh, no, I..'

You are so lucky, look at you. Girl, why?

I don't know, I, that makes me feel

good and old both at the same..

[chuckles]

Alright, so, um, I'm gonna be working over the neck area to

because of all the extra blood.

- Just.. - What do you mean?

Extra blood? I..

Yeah.

- They didn't tell you? - No.

That's weird. 'Cause they told me a couple days ago.'

[both sighs]

[indistinct chattering]

Tark, can I talk to you for a second? Sorry.

So last night I was, um, actually researching car crashes

you know what would actually happen if you--

If you saw a zombie in the move to the road?

No, if the car turned over at that speed

mid-conversation and then she'd actually wake up, you know.

And I was thinking, I don't think that I would scream.

'I think instead, what if I just went silent.'

You know, what if I just played the whole thing with my eyes

and then we could just be really still.

- No. - And..

- Why? - Okay.

- It's interesting. - Okay.

But our script is locked.

I'm fighting the clock here. Every sec--

I know, but you realize that my lungs would get punctured

from the impact of the car, right?

[chuckles] I'll tell you what.

We'll do a couple your way. How's that?

- Okay. - Okay, Merrill.

Let's do it fast.

This isn't "Out of Africa."

Hey, can you come with me I'm just gonna show you

'because you're not understanding'

'what I'm saying to you.'

'What I want is you to light all the trees behind that'

'and then on the trees in front of it.'

[indistinct chattering]

- Is camera ready? - Good to go.

- Okay, turn it over. - Rolling sound.

Rolling camera.

Action.

[intense music]

'And cut.'

Pfft.

- That was so good. - Really?

That was so good. That was amazing.

- Do you fee-feel good? - Yeah, I think so.

So much better than what's on the page.

You think he was even watching.

I don't for fucking care, it was amazing.

Jesus.

Ask him.

Tark? Hey, Tark, how was that?

Good. Interesting.

Listen, we're gonna do it my way now, okay?

And, uh, when you do the scream

can you turn your head slightly to the left?

Okay, but if I do that you won't see my face?

Don't do that. Just do what you want to do.

Everything is so good, so tight.

(Mia) 'Okay.'

- 'Rolling camera.' - 'Action.'

[screaming]

(Tark) 'Ah, cut. Cut, cut, cut!'

Get the fucking boom out of here.

[coughs]

Mia..

Killing me, I'm running out of time.

You know that, I'm running out of time.

- I just.. - I'm not gonna get the shot.

I've given you five cracks at it.

- 'What's going on?' - I'm trying.

I just, I don't, I can't, I, it doesn't..

- I don't know. - You want to direct this movie?

You want to direct it?

I just don't understand

what I'm screaming for, Tark.

You want to know what you're screaming for?

You're screaming..

...for your shitty career.

You're screaming for all those roles

you wanted and you just missed out on.

You're screaming for all the boys who left you

'for younger woman for your big fat ass.'

Turn your head slightly to the left

and scream.

'I'm tired of this shit.'

Tark really needs to get laid.

(Tark) 'Okay, here we go.'

I want to stab him in his sleep.

Let's just do this.

Roll. Just roll, just roll.

Rolling sound.

And...act.

[screaming]

[cell phone ringing]

- Hello. - Hi, can I speak to Mia?

(Noah on phone) 'It's Noah, Annabel's assistant.'

Yeah, Noah, it's me, it's Mia, what's up?

'I'm so sorry, Annabel has to be up all day.'

'She's tied up in a meeting in Paramount.'

O...kay.

Hey, Annabel.

Mia! Hi.

I-I just got off the phone with Noah

and he said you were stuck in a meeting.

Yeah, I am, with Rebecca.

You-you two know each other, right?

Hey, hi.

Noah, at Paramount, he said you were stuck

in a meeting at Paramount.

What? Uh, God, I've got to fire that guy.

I mean, can someone please tell me

why it's so hard to find a competent assistant?

Oh, tell me about it.

Oh, my God, Mia you are bleeding.

Oh, no, it's just.. Sorry, can I just..

[chuckles]

Um, anyway, uh, how are you?

I'm good, I'm good, you know

just do my thing, working, living.

God I wish I had the chance to just live

my life is so not my own these days.

Oh, geez, you have the best life ever.

I know.

I just mean that sometimes I'd love to just..

...slow down, have kids watch them grow up.

How are your kids?

I don't have any kids.

I thought you did, I thought you were, had one with Liam.

- No. - Oh.

That's too bad.

You guys would've made really cute kids.

[chuckles]

Did I tell you we're finally working together?

Liam and me, he is the most interesting actor

of this generation, he's a total Stradivarius.

I am thrilled he is finally getting his due.

[scoffs] Come on.

Mia, it was so good to see you.

Good to see you too.

I have to invite you to one of my dinner parties

it's totally jeans and wine and good food.

I am just so into [indistinct] table these days.

And you..

- See you later. - I'll see you later.

Okay. What is later?

Oh, it's, uh, women film thing.

'She's being honored.'

'Can you meet us at the Four Seasons'

at 5 p.m. and the room is under Bordeaux.

Why she is staying it's a Four Seasons

doesn't she live here?

Okay.

So...how was the shoot?

It was awful, Annabel, it was horrible.

Tark was abusive to me.

Why would Tark be abusive?

I don't know, maybe it was 'cause he could have had

Amy Adams for that part and he kept reminding me

about that the entire time.

He could not have had Amy Adams.

Amy Adams would never do that movie.

Okay. Why am I doing that movie? That's the question.

I can't keep doing these shitty movies, Annabel.

We got to be more proactive.

We got to find something better for me, like

maybe I should write something.

Something meaty and good and dark and edgy

and remind everyone that I can do

more than what I'm doing.

Why don't you just do something useful?

- Okay. - Like, go to the gym.

Are you kidding me? Are you..

Annabel, are you even listening to me

are you even still representing me or..

Of course, I am, Mia. Of course.

Although, you know, listen.

You should know.

You're little bit cold at the agency right now.

And we're going through bit of a shakeup

and I'm trying really hard to keep you.

I mean, I am, I defend you

whenever they say that, you know

'your time has passed and all those roles'

that used to be your bread and butter are no

you know, no good anymore, I always say no.

I, you know, I don't understand

I have been at the agency 20 years

I have made them buckets of money.

Yes, you have. But things are different now.

I mean, girls today, they tweet

they Instagram, they do campaigns

they're friends with and go out with

'other famous people.'

- I know. - 'And they go to the gym.'

They have stylist and hair and makeup.

I mean, they're really together.

I can do those things, I can.

I-I can, look, you know, I joined Twitter

and I'm going to tweets

right now. I'm going to tweets

something and I, I don't have any followers

but here, I tweeted.

Um, sent.

Yeah. Okay. Well, Mia, look.

You know how this business is

you have to play the game.

Okay. Well, at least I have you on my side, right?

You're fighting for me?

'Mm-hmm.'

- 'Although, listen.' - Yeah?

If you feel that you would be more comfortable

at a smaller agency

I'm not gonna stand in your way.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

(Kathy) 'Mm.'

Thank you for bringing me lunch.

I kinda forgot what that was like.

Mom, it's just wraps.

'What else did you bring me?'

'You didn't forget, did you?'

I got it.

- Here. - Thank you.

[laughing] Thank you.

Uh, mom, why do you have to keep putting these back up?

Do I have to ask you to take them down

every time I come?

'I'm sorry, but Liam will always be like a son to me'

'you know, you were my dream children together.'

Both running up the golden ladder.

Really? A son who never calls you?

A son who cheated on your daughter?

Mom, I don't want to get into this again, okay?

Listen, you were both golden.

You and him, but you blew it.

But I know that you can get there again

I just know you can.

What the hell is Annabel doing for you anyway?

She's planning on dropping me.

That's what she's planning on doing.

- Dropping you? - 'Yup.'

Drop her. What does that bitch do for you anyway?

You should have kept me as your manager.

I'd never let anything slide by us.

Yeah, I know, but, mom, the business has changed so much

since you were doing it, you know.

Maybe but, you know, it was never easy.

And it was always you and me against the world.

I never thought we would end up like this though.

'Oh, my God.'

- Speaking of which.. - 'Yes.'

Mr. Daniels, my landlord

raised the rent on me $250 a month.

How am I gonna do my procedure?

I can't even look at my hands anymore.

- They're so bad. - No, your hands are fine, mom.

- No, they're not. - You're beautiful.

I-I love those gloves. Where did you get them?

I can't even tell you where I got them.

- Tell me. - You'll get mad at me.

- I'm mad already. - Can I have one of those?

Where did you get them?

- I got 'em at Maxfields. - Mom..

I know.

[instrumental music]

Can I have another?

Thank you.

H-hello.

I'm so glad you came.

I can't..

I can't stop thinking about you.

[chuckles]

Of course.

I mean...what we had together is..

...you know, it's always gonna be

'a part of me. It's not like it goes away.'

'It's always there.'

It never goes away..

...what we had.

Yeah, you know, I care about you.

- You care about me? - Yeah.

- I know. - Listen, I think about you too.

Do you?

Yeah, you're an incredible woman.

And you need to know that, you have to..

You've got to remember that.

I feel like sometimes, uh, I don't know. You..

You don't seem to be aware of that.

Of how special you are.

That means so much that you're saying that to me.

Well, I, I mean, I mean that.

You're an amazing man and I feel so lucky to have shared..

...my life with you. I do.

I just...it's.. I've missed you.

Is that bad to say?

[chuckles]

Can you tell me what she's like?

I want to understand what she's going through.

What the child is going through, 'cause you said

you didn't want children and now we're talking about

what the child is going through.

Let's not.. Let's not talk about this.

Let's not do that and we both know that we shouldn't be

talking about this. Right? Don't we?

I want you to belong to me.

[E.J. chuckles]

I just, I wanna understand what went wrong with us.

I need to understand why..

What you see in her that you didn't see in me.

Why you picked her and you didn't pick me.

Why I wasn't good enough for you to pick.

I love you. I loved you.

And I loved you too, okay?

I just want to know.

- That we had something real. - 'Yes, we had something real.'

- Was it real? - Yes.

- Like this. This is real. - Don't, don't do that.

Is it real what you have with her?

- Don't do that. - I'm not.

I just.. Look at me, okay, I won't do that.

- Mia, Mia, Mia...stop. - I won't do that anymore.

- Stop it. - Shh.

I just wanna smell you for one second.

Don't, don't do this. Don't do this.

I won't. Would you just kiss me one time?

Smell me.

I wanna smell you one more time. Just one more--

Hey, hey, Mia, Mia, Mia.

Stop it. Stop it.

[instrumental music]

Hello, gorgeous.

[chuckles]

May I ask you a question?

What do you think of me?

Oh, well, heh heh, la-di-da, la-di-da.

Yeah.

[music continues]

[cell phone beeping]

Hey, hey, Mia, Mia, Mia.

'Stop it.'

Are you k..

[glass shatters]

Fuck!

[gasps]

[cell phone beeps]

[beeping continues]

[rustling]

[cell phone beeps]

(Annabel on speaker) 'Now, here's the thing.'

'Being called a clown, that can be good.'

'We just need to turn it around a little.'

'He dangled his new relationship in front of your face'

'stole all your friends--'

I can't say that.

'If they can say you were drunk'

'and out of your mind, stalking him'

'professing your love for him, threatening to commit suicide'

'whatever gets the biggest story, they will.'

'A little notoriety can do you good.'

Great. Notoriety.

Uh, yeah, a notorious clown.

That's what I am. Yeah, go, go, go.

[instrumental music]

[rustling]

[music continues]

(Kathy) So what are you saying?

What are you saying?

(Mia) I just.. I just..

I-I think it's time...you know.

(Kathy) Time for what?

I don't know, I just, I just..

I just know that I-I-I can..

I have something to say with my life

I can do more with my life and I want to do it now

and I-I just, I got it, I-I can't do it here, you know.

No one wants me to do it here.

Okay, well, then what about me?

What happens to me?

Well, I have your rent for this month and...for next month

and then, you know, we can, um, we can, uh..

...start to think.

For two months? And then what am I supposed to do after that?

Well, I said we can start to think about--

To think? To think about what?

That you're all of a sudden cutting me off. Right?

I just, I can't do this anymore, mom, I'm suffocating.

Okay. Did you at least bring me my pills?

No, I'm not gonna do that anymore.

Fine.

- What are you doing? - 'I'm finding--'

Oh, come on.

What are you.. Don't do that.

You know, please.. Could you please not do that?

Mia, stop it.

Stop it. I, I know I have some somewhere.

- Just...stop. - Shit.

Just..

Uh-h-h, yes.

- 'Okay, give them.' - No.

- Give me the pills. - These are my pills.

- Give me the God damn.. - I'm not giving you the pills.

Just give it to me. What are you, a child?

- Give me the fucking pills! - Stop it! It's mine!

Damn.

I'm sorry.

[crying]

Why can't you just be my mom, you know?

Just for one time in your life, why can't you just

come through for me?

What do you think I've been doing your whole life?

That's all I do is be your mom.

I sacrificed everything for you.

Really? Really? Just for me?

Is that right? Just for me, mom?

Yeah.

I just..

Come on, we..

Come on, just get up.

It's gonna be fine.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

We're still better than this, mom.

- This isn't us. - I'm sorry.

You better shove those things down the toilet or something.

[laughs]

Okay.

I-it's great. I think it's a great house.

Fantastic layout for a family.

Great location.

- Good school districts, right? - Mm-hmm.

- I love it. - Good.

Well, um, I, uh..

So you're thinking, you know, if I wanted to sell it--

Oh, in a heartbeat. Yeah, absolutely.

So I think you should take a minute

think about it, and, um, let me know.

Because I think we could turn it around quickly.

Okay. Well, thank you.

And thank you for coming um, on such short notice.

My pleasure.

Just give me a few days to think about it

and I'll get back to you.

- Okay, great. - Great.

- I'll look forward to it. - Thank you.

- Oh. Hello. - Hi.

- I'm her mom. - 'Hi. I'll talk to you later.'

- Buh-bye. - Bye.

Hi.

Don't look so surprised to see me.

No, it's just that you never leave the valley.

Well, I thought maybe I could help you out.

- 'You look really good.' - Thank you.

I'm on my way to a job interview.

- Really? - Yeah.

Wow.

[cell phone ringing]

Uh..

Hey, Annabel.

No, I've told you, I'm not interested in notoriety

or clowning.

Yeah. I gotta go. I'll talk to you later?

Bye.

So, mom, what's this job?

Did you just hang up on Annabel?

She'll call back.

[cell phone ringing]

[chuckles]

I don't understand. There's no way.

That movie can't be good. It's just..

Well, they flipped for the rough cut

and it's testing through the roof

I mean, they are planning a Halloween release.

And there's this whole mythology that they wanna build

and so they need to lock up everyone.

For the sequels and prequels.

Who's everyone?

You, Josh, Tark, everybody.

They're desperate.

We have leverage here, okay? Contractually.

Because they didn't lock you up before the first one.

Mia...this is the best thing that could ever happen to you.

You're 40 years old and you just booked

a horror franchise.

I'm gonna be right back.

Okay.

Ow!

Ann. A-Ann Malone.

Yes, that would be me. No need to call the presses.

It's me. It's Mia Roarke.

Do you remember me?

I played your daughter on "Wild Sunset."

- Mia? - Yeah.

- Mia! - Yeah.

Oh, my God. I can't believe it.

- Hi. - How long has it been?

Oh, God, like 14 years or something.

Fourteen years.

- Oh, my God. - You look great.

Thank you. Well, you know what?

Those, those were the good old days, huh?

Yeah.

So how's it going, Ann? How's everything?

I'm doing good, honey. I'm still working.

Still, you know, breathing.

In fact, I am here with a producer. Mm-hmm.

Who wants to put me on a TV series.

Now, I don't really understand his idea, but..

I don't know, why not? It could be fun.

What kind of series is it, like a-a reality series

or a r-real series?

Sweetheart, I do not know the difference anymore

to tell you the truth. I just like acting.

It's such a, like, you-you know

It's such a.. I don't know, it's a crapshoot.

Always waiting, waiting, waiting

for that fairy dust to come

sprinkling down from the heavens.

'Yeah. Well, it's not really like that for me anymore, but--'

It isn't? Oh.

So what happened? You went out and got yourself a life?

Well, good for you!

Are you married? Did you.. Do you have any kids?

I don't.

No?

Well...like I said..

...you and me

you know, we're the..

...last of the Mohicans right?

Come here. Come here, come here. Aww.

Aww.

Yeah.

I hope you get that part, Ann. I really do.

- I'll see you. - Okay.

Bye.

[sighs]

So..

...you were saying that

"We have leverage here." Is that right?

Absolutely.

I want to meet with someone

in the lit department, Annabel.

Someone good. Not someone junior, okay?

So you've been writing?

I think I have a few stories to tell. Don't you?

Sure.

So?

So, yeah, it's true.

They have nothing on you, sweetheart.

You can walk if you want. Mm-hmm.

Well, should I? I just..

I hate Tark.

I just.. I hate him so much.

Annabel tells me that I'm for sure cooked

if I turn this down.

- Yeah, what does Annabel know? - 'I don't know, mom.'

'I'm just trying to collar together a life'

that's got some kind of meaning, you know.

How's this for a horror movie?

Lean in close on 40-year-old girl.

'She wakes up and she realizes'

she's been living an accidental life.

Cut.

It's me.

Then do something about it, Mia.

(Tark) 'Tarks and Tarks and Tarks and Tarks'

(both) and Tarks and Tarks and Tarks and Tarks

and Tarks and Tarks and Tarks.

- What's that mean? - They're fucking everywhere.

- The Tarks? - They are everywhere! Kind of.

What do you mean? I don't get it.

How many Tarks have you had to deal with?

- There are a million Tarks. - I mean, he's an exceptional.

He's an exceptional [indistinct], but..

Mia, I want you to scream for your fucking life right now!

Ah! Ow!

Ah! Is that what you want me to do, Tark?

I want you to scream for your fucking shit carrier

and your past and your fucking shit body.

[laughing]

How am I gonna fucking scream?

It doesn't really make much difference, does it?

The end. Right?

Yeah. What do you mean?

I mean...you're an actress.

You learn your lines, you show up at your mark

you prepare it, you finish..

...you go home, live your life.

That's the job and you do the job.

Yeah.

I do the job and I do it well.

You do it well, you know that, right?

But..

But what happens when

you go home?

My head hurts.

Yeah, 'cause you're thinking

too much about your fucking job.

And not thinking enough about your life.

How good it can be or whatever

how shitty it can be but it's yours.

[instrumental music]

You are just terrific in this movie.

And getting to sit down, spend time with the talent

it's one of my favourite things as a producer.

We just want you to know that Tark is crazy about you.

Right, Tark?

He's...little intense, little focused, alright

but that's just the way he works. Right? Right?

That's the way he is with you

that's the way he is with everyone.

Listen, we just want you to know

that Mia just wants director's approval

so she feels comfortable with

who's directing the next picture.

And, of course, I've told her that she should support someone

as brilliant as Tark.

Well, then we are on the same page here.

We want her to love the director.

We want her to love Tark.

'Come on, Mia, you have to admit'

he is brilliant, a visionary.

That opening crane shot..

Oh, and, uh..

...wait until you see your last scene in the film

where Tark just holds it on your face.

Just right on your eyes.

No effects.

Silence coming from you in the car.

Really?

[clears throat] That was actually Mia's idea.

She has some good ideas.

There, he said it.

[all laughing]

Well, Jason, I-I thank you.

I mean, this was a beautiful dinner.

I've heard everything you have to say.

I will take it all into consideration

and I will get back to you in the next few days.

- If that's okay? - Oh, that's great.

- Yeah, sure. Take your time. - Great, okay.

- Thank you again. - No problem.

Wow, I didn't think she could be any more

difficult than she was on set.

I feel like we should send her something.

Don't you?

(male #6) 'Well, well, well.'

Bet you didn't think I'd be back, huh?

Of course, I did. You're that actress, right?

You have my stuff?

Yeah.

There you go.

- You can keep that one. - You sure?

- Yes. - Alright.

Thanks for everything.

You take care of yourself, alright.

'You too.'

- Ow! - Wait.

You.. Wait, aren't you..

'Who are you again?'

I'm Mia Roarke.

Who are you? Heh.

I was your driver.
