THAT'S... YEAH, STOP. SORRY.

WELL, SEE,
I KNOW YOU'RE ALSO CASTING

DISNEY'S NEW MUSICAL
MOVIE. SO I THOUGHT...

DO YOU KNOW THE LYRICAL PIECE?

THE CHOREOGRAPHY REAL QUICK?

THAT'S ENOUGH. THANK YOU.

MICHAELA,
MY LOGIC WASN'T COMPLETELY BAD.

I MEAN, SHE IS CASTING

DISNEY'S NEW MUSICAL MOVIE,
RIGHT NOW.

BUT THIS AUDITION
WASN'T FOR THAT.

OKAY, WHAT I THINK IS,
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT

TO CREATE YOUR OWN
BREAKS IN THIS BUSINESS.

AND THAT'S WHAT I
DID THIS MORNING.

IS I CREATED MY OWN BREAK.

I WASN'T TOTALLY LYING
ABOUT MY DANCE TRAINING.

I DID DO MUSICAL
THEATER AT MY OLD CHILD...

JULES,
YOU'VE HAD ONE JOB IN THREE YEARS.

OKAY? IN A PLAY.

BUT I JUST DID THE PLAY.

SO WHO KNOWS WHAT'S
GONNA HAPPEN NOW.

I THINK IT'S TIME YOU
DO SOMETHING ELSE.

WELL... THAT'S SILLY.

'CAUSE I'M AN ACTRESS
AND THAT'S WHAT I DO.

I'M LETTING YOU GO.

FIRST MESSAGE.

HI, HONEY, I JUST HAD
THE BEST IDEA FOR OUR BIRTHDAY PARTY.

YOUR TABLES WILL
HAVE 30 PINK ROSES,

AND MY TABLES WITH HAVE 60 RED ROSES,
ISN'T IT CUTE?

NOW CALL ME,
WE'RE TWO WEEKS OUT.

- SECOND MESSAGE.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY?

I HAVE TO WORK
OUT AT SOME POINT.

I'M UP FOR THIS ACTION FILM WHERE I
PUNCH GUYS LIKE THE WHOLE MOVIE.

MM.

HI, MOM.

UHH. I KNOW.

I MEANT TO CALL YOU EARLIER.

I FORGOT.

I MADE PLANS ALREADY.

THE AUDITION WAS GOOD.

I HAVE TO GO,
THOUGH. CAN I CALL YOU LATER?

LOVE YOU, TOO.

MM. BYE.

UGH.

IF I TOLD MY MOM HOW TODAY REALLY WENT,
SHE'D WORRY.

EVEN CATE BLANCHETT
AND MERYL STREEP

HAVE BEEN REJECTED.

IN THIS INDUSTRY,
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

ONE MINUTE YOU CAN BE A NOBODY,

AND THE NEXT THING YOU
KNOW YOU'RE OFF TO VANCOUVER

TO SHOOT A MOVIE.

I AM A GREAT ACTRESS.

THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE,

BELIEVERS AND DREAMERS.

I'M A BELIEVER.

BELIEVERS MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

HI, MAXIE.

HI, YOU WANT TO GO ON A WALK?

YEAH. YOU GOTTA GO POO POOS,
MAXIE?

- HUH. - HOLLA.

Y'ALL BET...
HOW 'BOUT A FREE DOG?

YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT
IMPROVISING A TAP DANCE

THAT THEY WEREN'T ASKING FOR.

DID YOU DO IT?

- YEAH. - WHAT?

AND IT WORKED? IT WENT WELL?

- YEAH...
- WELL, WHAT DID MICHAELA THINK?

SHE GOTTA BE THRILLED, RIGHT?

YEAH...

JULES, WE HAVE THE SAME MANAGER.

WHY DID YOU ASK IF
YOU ALREADY KNEW?

BECAUSE I WANTED TO
SEE IF YOU'D STILL LIE TO ME.

AND YOU DID. IT HURTS.

FRIEND.

I'VE SEEN YOU SHIT YOUR PANTS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

YEP, THAT WAS A PROUD MOMENT.

- AND I HAD IBS... - UH-HUH.

IT WAS A TERRIBLE TIME MY
STOMACH WAS HURT ALL THE TIME.

I COULDN'T CONTROL IT.

OKAY. I'M NOT HERE TO JUDGE.

MY POINT IS JUST DON'T LIE TO ME,
OKAY?

- I'M SORRY. - PROMISE?

I REALLY AM, YES.

COME HIGH ON
TO THE BALLS OF YOUR FEET.

BEND YOUR KNEES,
COME DOWN AT LEAST A THIRD OF THE WAY

FROM WHERE YOU STARTED.

COME DOWN AN
INCH. AND UP AN INCH.

DOWN AND UP. CONTINUE.

PULL YOUR ABDOMINALS IN.

MARA, THAT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL,
NICE DEPTH.

JULES, UP RIGHT YOUR SPINE AND
DROP YOUR TAILBONE A LITTLE MORE.

EVEN A LITTLE MORE.
KEEP YOUR HEELS HIGH.

STAY IN IT. BEND
DOWN A LITTLE FASTER.

DOWN ONE, TWO. LAST TEN.

THREE, FOUR. STAY IN IT.

FIVE, YOU GOT IT. SIX.

DOWN SEVEN. EIGHT. NINE.

RELEASE, YOU'RE DONE.

- AHH. - GREAT WORK.

FANTASTIC WORK, EVERYONE.

THAT HURTS.

OH, MY GOD,
MY STOMACH HURTS BAD.

OWW.

DO YOU FEEL
LIKE YOU'RE GONNA DIE?

- ARE YOU TALKING TO ME? - YEAH.

- WHAT? - DO YOU HAVE WATER?

NO.

RICK'S NOT HERE.

THANK YOU FOR
PAYING FOR THE CLASS.

BABE,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK ME.

MM.

SO...

NEW YORK WAS GOOD?

OKAY, APPARENTLY WOODY
ALLEN IS LIKE OBSESSED WITH ME

AND RICK IS SURE HE'S
GONNA PUT ME IN HIS NEXT FILM.

THAT'S SO AWESOME.

WHAT'S UP WITH YOU?

I'M LOOKING FOR A NEW AGENT.

MICHAELA DROPPED ME,

BUT I WAS GONNA LEAVE HER ANYWAY

SO IT'S A GOOD THING.

OKAY, SO YOU SHOULD TOTALLY COME

TO RICK'S BIRTHDAY
PARTY TOMORROW NIGHT.

RICK HATES ME.

HE ALWAYS FORGETS THAT HE'S MET ME BEFORE,
IT'S EMBARRASSING.

JULES,
THAT'S NOT TRUE. AND HE'S CHANGED.

OKAY, I MEAN,
I'M BASICALLY LIVING WITH HIM NOW.

YOU KNOW? IT'S LIKE
I'VE REBOOTED HIS HEART.

I'LL JUST HAVE HIM TAKE
A MEETING WITH YOU.

WELL,
I CAN DO IT MYSELF. YOU HELP ME SO MUCH.

WILL YOU STOP THAT?

ALL I'M DOING IS GETTING
YOU INTO HIS OFFICE.

YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO DO THE REST.

THANK YOU.

OKAY,
DID I TELL YOU LENA DUNHAM STARTED

FOLLOWING ME ON TWITTER?

SHE HAS LIKE 1.4 MILLION
TWITTER FOLLOWERS.

HOW MANY PEOPLE
ARE FOLLOWING YOU?

14.

I'LL CERTAINLY CONSIDER IT.

THAT'S LOVELY.

YEAH, THANK YOU, PETER.

BYE.

HEY.

PETER GOODMAN
WANTS ME TO BE A JUDGE

ON HIS NEW A&E SHOW ABOUT
GROUNDBREAKING PAINTERS.

AH, OH, MY GOD.

YOU'RE GONNA BE ON TV?

I'VE NEVER BEEN ON
TV AND I'M AN ACTRESS.

- AH!
- WELL, NOTHING'S FINAL YET.

WOULD THAT BOTHER YOU?

NO. IT'S AWESOME.

GREAT.

COME HERE,
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

THAT'S NEW.

I FOUND THIS LOVELY
FEMALE ARTIST,

AMERICA MARTIN.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR
YOU TO MEET HER.

ARE YOU UPSET
ABOUT THE TV THING?

NO. I'M...

NOTHING, MOM. IT'S GREAT.

WELL, SHERRY AND LIZ WILL BE HERE ANY
MOMENT AND THEN WE CAN GET STARTED.

I CAN'T STAY,
I HAVE TO GO GET A SPRAY TAN

AND BUY A DRESS

FOR MARA'S BOYFRIEND/AGENT'S

BIRTHDAY PARTY TOMORROW.

- YOU DON'T NEED A SPRAY TAN.
- MOM. PLEASE.

THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL
BIRTHDAY FOR US BOTH.

I KNOW THAT.

WELL, I WISH YOU COULD
PARTICIPATE IN THE PLANNING.

I NEVER SEE YOU ANYMORE.

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.

GOT TO GIVE YOU THIS.

NANA'S RING.

YEAH, I HAD IT CLEANED.

SHE GAVE IT TO ME
ON MY 30TH BIRTHDAY.

YOU KNOW,
YOU COULD WEAR THAT AS A NECKLACE.

HMM.

OH. SORRY. HELLO?

MY NANA DIED WHEN I WAS TWO.

SHE WAS A FAMOUS STAGE ACTRESS.

MY MOM SAYS I'M A LOT LIKE HER.

AND SO I REALLY DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAD TO TAKE THE FALL...

HEY.

WE'RE HERE.

- HI. -

I ORDERED THE CAKES.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE
A GLUTEN-FREE CAKE,

AN AGAVE SWEETENED CAKE,
AND VEGAN CUPCAKES.

ISN'T THAT FABULOUS?

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA
HAVE THE REAL CAKE.

WITH SUGAR AND
FLOUR AND LOTS OF FAT.

SO ARE YOU BRINGING
ANYBODY SPECIAL?

NO.

I STILL DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND.

A GIRLFRIEND?

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIDICULOUS.

JULIE CAN'T STAY TO HELP TODAY

BECAUSE SHE'S GOT
TO GO GET A TAN.

MOM.

WE PROTESTED FOR
WOMEN'S RIGHTS FOR DECADES

SO THAT YOU CAN GO SLAP THAT
ORANGE SHIT ALL OVER YOUR SKIN.

THANK YOU.

HON,
YOU'RE NOT EVEN TALKING TO ANY...

OH, MY GOD, YOU ARE SO CHEAP.

I CAN'T AFFORD A $900 DRESS.

WELL,
MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT.

LOOK, JUST MINGLE.

TALK TO PEOPLE. BE BOLD.

TELL PEOPLE WHO YOU ARE
AND DON'T LET THEM FORGET IT.

HERE'S RICK.

HI, BABY.

HEY, BABE.

JEFF,
HEY LET ME GET YOU A BOTTLE.

HE'S REALLY BIG.

LIKE A BIG DEAL.

AT THESE THINGS, IF YOU'RE NOT SOMEBODY,
PEOPLE IGNORE YOU.

BUT AT LEAST

I'M IN THE SAME SOCIAL CIRCLE,

MY MOM ALWAYS SAYS A
RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS.

HI.

TOILET PAPER STUCK.

OH MY G... OH... OH, GOD...

NO, I'M SORRY,
I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE.

I'M JET-LAGGED. I JUST
GOT BACK FROM LONDON.

OH,

SHOW YOURSELF OUT?

JUST SO TIRED. I HAVE
TO GET SOME SLEEP.

I HAVE A PHOTO
SHOOT IN THE MORNING.

OH, YEAH, OF COURSE.

DON'T WORRY,
I'M NOT GONNA STEAL ANYTHING.

THAT SOUNDED LIKE I WAS
GONNA STEAL SOMETHING.

I'M NOT, I JUST...

BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW ME,
I WANTED TO REASSURE YOU.

OKAY...

ALL RIGHT, WELL, GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

DON'T STEAL ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT.

I WON'T.

IT'S MARA. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THANK YOU.

HI, IT'S ERIC.

BE KIND,
DON'T LITTER. LEAVE A MESSAGE.

ERIC,

KNOW WHERE I AM.

BUT IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT
THAT YOU CALL ME BACK.

LIKE RIGHT NOW. PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE. THANK YOU.

THIS IS 9-1-1 9-1-1.

THAT'S HIS EX, GENEVIEVE WILSON.

SHE CHEATED ON HIM.

MARA AND HER USED TO BE FRIENDS.

I KNOW THEY BROKE UP,
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE HAS HER IN A FRAME.

HE GOT AN OSCAR
NOMINATION WHEN HE WAS 17.

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

SHIT.

OH, MY GOD. I FELL ASLEEP.

HE'S GOING TO THINK I'M CRAZY.

MY PHONE'S DEAD.

ERIC, THANK GOD YOU ANSWERED.

LOOK, I NEED A RIDE. LISTEN,

MY PHONE'S GONNA DIE.

I'M AT THIS GUY,
BRECK ANDREW'S HOUSE.

YEAH. AND CAN YOU PICK ME UP
AT THE BOTTOM OF LAUREL CANYON?

YES. THAT GAS STATION. PERFECT,
THANK YOU.

ERIC, LISTEN.

BRECK DIDN'T EVEN TRY
ANYTHING WHEN I WAS OVER THERE.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS AGAIN.

- YES. - WHY?

- WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?
- NOTHING.

MARA SAYS I DON'T GIVE OFF THAT SEXY,
CAREFREE VIBE.

WHICH I DON'T THINK I DO.

BECAUSE I'M GONNA BE 30 AND
I'VE NEVER HAD A ONE NIGHT STAND.

THAT'S WEIRD.

IT'S NOT WEIRD. I
THINK IT'S SWEET.

IT'S CUTE.

BRECK'S LIKE A MAN.

HE'S LIKE A MAN'S MAN.

- HE MAKES FURNITURE FROM SCRATCH.
- OH, WOW.

AND HE WENT TO RADA.

AND HE'S SO TALENTED.

OKAY, THEN SLEEP WITH HIM.

I WANNA SLEEP WITH HIM.

OKAY THEN. COOL. HAVE FUN.

BUT I WANT HIM TO
BE MY BOYFRIEND.

THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM.

I WANT HIM TO WANT TO MARRY ME.

AND I WANT US TO HAVE BABIES.

- ALL RIGHT, LISTEN, JAMIE, WE CAN SIT HERE...
- IT'S JULES.

WHAT?

I'M JULES.

OKAY. JULES, WE CAN SIT HERE
AND BULLSHIT FOR A FEW MINUTES

BUT ALL I REALLY NEED TO
KNOW IS IF YOU'RE TALENTED.

I AM.

THAT WASN'T A QUESTION.

JEFF, HEY. RICK SILVER.

I KNOW,
CAN YOU BELIEVE I'M STANDING?

ALL RIGHT. UH, LISTEN.

UM,
I AM GOING TO SEND YOU SOMEONE TOMORROW.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT.

IT WAS WITH YOUR TEETH TOO.

ALL RIGHT BUDDY,
WE'LL SEE YOU...

ALL RIGHT, OKAY BYE.

YOU HAVE A MEETING
WITH JEFF FREDRICK.

HE CASTS ALL THE SHOWS FOR HBO.

IF HE LIKES YOU, WE'LL TALK.

DO YOU LIKE MY HAIR?

GREAT ACTORS
CHANGE THEIR HAIRSTYLE

FOR EVERY FILM.

JEFF IS GOING TO BE IMPRESSED
AND KNOW THAT I'M VERSATILE.

WHEN I TOOK CLASSES
AT THE GROUNDLINGS,

WE'D START EVERY SCENE BY YELLING,
"YAY."

'CAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE HIGH ENERGY
PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU'RE CONFIDENT.

AND WHEN YOU'RE CONFIDENT,
YOU GET THE JOB.

I GET EMBARRASSED
TO DO IT AT AUDITIONS.

BUT IT REALLY HELPS,
AND WHO CARS RIGHT?

UH,
ARE YOU AUDITIONING FOR JEFF FREDERICK?

SO HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU?

- 25 WEEKS. - AWW.

UM...

RICK DID NOT TELL ME
THAT YOU WERE PREGNANT.

25 WEEKS.

AWW.

WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.

AHH...

RICK TOLD YOU THAT YOU'RE
NOT ACTUALLY AUDITIONING

FOR THIS TODAY, RIGHT?

THAT THIS IS JUST THE BEST
MATERIAL I CAN GET ON SHORT NOTICE

AND GET A SENSE OF... YOU. OKAY.

GOOD. ALL RIGHT.

WELL... ARE YOU READY?

I WILL READ WITH YOU.

YAY!

AHEM,
PENNY YOU'RE A DIRTY LITTLE WHORE,

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.

I'LL KILL MYSELF. RIGHT HERE.

I MEAN IT. RIGHT

I'M NOT PLAYING GAMES.

OWW. I'M LEAVING YOU.

AND I'M NEVER GONNA
LET YOU SEE YOUR BABY.

DO YOU HEAR ME?

I'M LEAVING YOU.

OW.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

FREDDY!

I...

WELL...

HE DOESN'T HIT
HER IN THIS SCRIPT.

I THOUGHT I'D UP THE STAKES.

I...

YEAH... TO GET PUNCHED IN THE...

...IN THE CHILD DOES DO THAT.

BUT I'M NOT A 100% SURE IF
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR.

YES. OKAY,
SO YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF THEATER.

THAT'S REALLY GREAT. YOU KNOW...

FOR FILM,
WHEN THE CAMERA IS RIGHT THERE,

UH, IT PICKS UP EVERY LITTLE TINY THING,
SO YOU CAN...

SHE'S TRYING TO GET A REACTION?

'CAUSE SHE LOVES HIM.

YEAH.

AHEM.

PENNY,

OKAY,
I'M JUST GONNA STOP YOU RIGHT THERE.

UM...

I THINK YOU'RE... YOU'RE...

YOU REALLY TOOK MY
NOTE SO THAT'S GOOD,

BUT I THINK YOU TOOK
IT TO THE EXTREME.

I THINK MAYBE THERE'S A
PLACE THAT'S IN BETWEEN.

WHERE IT'S NOT QUITE SO BIG, BUT I CAN
STILL UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

AHH.

CAN I JUST DO THE ENDING AGAIN?

'CAUSE SHE'S TRYING
TO KILL HERSELF.

AND I HAVE AN IDEA.

YEAH. YEAH.

AHEM. ALL RIGHT.

OH.

YOU LIED TO ME ABOUT
BEING PREGNANT.

YEAH. IT'S A BEACH BALL.

EDWARD NORTON PRETENDED
TO BE THE CHARACTER

WHEN HE AUDITIONED
FOR "PRIMAL FEAR"

AND HE GOT NOMINATED
FOR AN OSCAR.

YOU'RE NOT EDWARD NORTON.

DON'T DO IT AGAIN.

AGAIN?

I LIKE THAT YOU TOOK A RISK.

YOU HAVE A MEETING WITH
KYRA HARDING THIS MONDAY.

THANK YOU.

I DON'T MAKE A HABIT OF
SEEING CLIENTS ON MY DAY OFF.

- IS THAT CLEAR? - YES.

MY ASSISTANT WILL
GET YOU THE SCRIPT.

IT'S A COMEDY SERIES
ABOUT WOMEN IN THE MILITARY.

JUST TO BE CLEAR THIS TIME,
AM I AUDITIONING FOR THE ROLE,

OR JUST THERE TO READ FOR KYRA?

YOU'RE AUDITIONING.

- HI, MARA. - HI.

HEY, I GOTTA MAKE A CALL

AND THEN I'LL BE READY TO GO.

- OKAY, BABE? - OKAY.

DO YOU WANT THIS? I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHERE I GOT IT,

BUT IT DOESN'T FIT ANYMORE.

HE HATES ME.

WELL, JULES, YOU LIED.

ONLY BECAUSE I
WANTED TO GET THE PART.

LOOK, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW? JUST BE YOURSELF.

HAVE YOU CALLED BRECK YET?

NO. I'M NOT EVEN HIS TYPE.

DIDN'T YOU SAY HE AND GENEVIEVE

WERE INTO LIKE WHIPS AND CHAINS

AND LIKE S&M STUFF?

SERIOUSLY JUST CALL HIM.

I'M NOT GOING TO CALL HIM.

HEY BRECK, IT'S JULES.

I GOT YOUR NUMBER
FROM MY FRIEND MARA.

AND... UM...

MESSAGE ERASED.

AT THE TONE, PLEASE RERECORD YOUR MESSAGE.

WHAT'S UP? IT'S JULES.

I MET YOU THE OTHER NIGHT.

AFTER RICK'S PARTY.

I HAD TOILET PAPER
COMING OUT OF MY DRESS.

SO THAT'S STUPID.

MESSAGE ERASED.

AT THE TONE,
PLEASE RERECORD YOUR MESSAGE.

HEY BRECK. IT'S JULES.

YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW ME.

UM, THAT SOUNDS CREEPY.

BUT I MET YOU THE OTHER NIGHT.

AND I STAYED AT YOUR HOUSE,

WHICH YOU DON'T
KNOW EITHER. THIS IS SO...

MESSAGE ERASED.

AT THE TONE,
PLEASE RERECORD YOUR MESSAGE.

- - HI, BRECK.

AHH.

MESSAGE ERASED.

AT THE TONE,
PLEASE RERECORD YOUR MESSAGE.

HEY, BRECK. IT'S JULES.

I MET YOU THE OTHER NIGHT.

I'M FRIENDS WITH RICK AND MARA.

ONLY MARA.

BUT SHE SAID I SHOULD CALL YOU AND SAY,
"HI."

SO "HI." UH...

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WANTED
TO HAVE COFFEE OR SOMETHING SOMETIME.

I'M PRETTY FLEXIBLE...

WITH MY SCHEDULE.
THAT'S SOUNDED WEIRD.

LIKE I'M FLEXIBLE
IN A KINKY WAY.

UH,
DON'T WORRY. I'M NOT A PHONE SEX GIRL.

I MEAN, I CAN BE

IF YOU'RE INTO
THAT SORT OF THING.

UH, I'VE DONE IT BEFORE. ONCE.

AND I'M TALKING ABOUT PHONE SEX,

WHY DON'T I TELL
HIM ABOUT ANAL SEX?

YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN SENT.

IT'S ERIC.

SINGLE.

I'M HOMELESS.

AND I'M GONNA BE
IN A HOT DOG SUIT

AT 8:00 AM TOMORROW.

YOU REALLY WANTED TO MARRY HER?

NO...

WHAT'S...

GOING ON OVER THERE?

MY STOMACH HURTS.

I ATE AN ENTIRE BOX OF MINTS

IN LIKE A HALF AN HOUR.

SO SHE'S LIKE
ALREADY ON INSTAGRAM.

POSTING PICTURES OF
HER AND SOME OTHER GUY.

SHE'S MANIPULATIVE.

YOU'VE BEEN HERE ALMOST A YEAR.

SHOULDN'T YOU UNPACK YOUR STUFF?

I'M GOING TO MOVE
TO ABBOT KINNEY

AS SOON AS I CAN AFFORD IT.

YOU'RE LIKE YOUR MOM,
PUT UP WALLPAPER.

ALL RIGHT, IT'S HER.

DON'T ANSWER.

HI, KIM.

NO, JUST...

OVER AT JULES'S.

KIM SAYS, "HI."

JULES SAYS, "HI."

AHH.

THIS WAY. THIS WAY.

HEY.

YOU WERE IN A PLAY AT
THE MALIBU PLAYHOUSE

LAST MONTH, RIGHT?

YEAH. I WAS. HI.

OH, MY GOD, YOU WERE AMAZING.

THANK YOU.

I ALWAYS SEE YOU
WHEN I'M RUNNING.

AND DO YOU LIVE AROUND HERE?

I'M A PERSONAL ASSISTANT

FOR AN ATTORNEY IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'VE ACTUALLY NEVER MET HER.

MY HUSBAND AND I THOUGHT
YOU WERE THE BEST THING

ABOUT THAT PLAY.

THANK YOU, SERIOUSLY.

YEAH,
I WENT TO SCHOOL FOR ACTING,

AND I USED TO DO A LITTLE BIT.

BUT THEN I GOT MARRIED
AND HAD KIDS AND...

YOU KNOW,
NOW I'M AN EDITOR. YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES.

- YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO IT.
- NO.

YOU SHOULD.

- NO, YOU. YOU ARE REALLY GOOD.
- THANK YOU.

- I'M GRETA. - I'M JULES.

JULES JENSON.

WELL, HAVE A GOOD DAY.

GO ON.

MY FAVORITE ALBERT
EINSTEIN QUOTE SAYS,

"EVERYTHING IS ENERGY.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

MATCH THE FREQUENCY
OF THE REALITY YOU WANT

AND YOU CANNOT HELP
BUT GET THAT REALITY."

JULES, I'M HERE.

HEY.

I WANT TO GET YOUR OPINION
ON WHAT TO WEAR TODAY.

AND HONEY,
WHY DON'T WE LOOK FOR A DAY NEXT WEEK

WHEN I CAN COME OVER AND HELP
MAKE THIS PLACE A LITTLE MORE HOMEY.

BUY YOU A BED FRAME.

THERE'S NO POINT,
I'LL BE MOVING SOON.

I DON'T WANT YOU
TO BUY ME ANYTHING.

I DON'T NEED ANY MORE PLANTS.

THEY JUST DIE ON ME.

YOU DON'T WANT MY PAINTINGS?

UH, IT'S KIND OF WEIRD TO
HAVE PAINTINGS UP OF MYSELF.

WELL,
THAT NEVER BOTHERED YOU BEFORE.

I MEAN, I PAINTED THEM FOR YOU.

I'LL PUT THEM BACK UP.

I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY'D
MAKE YOU THIS UPSET.

OH, NO NO NO.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO HANG
THEM IF YOU'RE EMBARRASSED.

GREAT.

I HATE MY HAIR, I'M SO BLOATED.

WELL,
I HOPE YOU BRING THIS LOVELY MOOD

TO THE PARTY.

- HEY. - OH, COME ON.

HEY.

SO RICK'S HAVING THIS
LITTLE BARBECUE THING

AND YOU KNOW WHO'S
GONNA BE THERE?

HEY, ERIC.

YEAH, IT'S JULES AND HER MOM'S
BIRTHDAY PARTY TODAY, SO...

- I GUESS YOU FORGOT. - SHIT.

OKAY. SO WE'LL JUST
GO TO THE BARBECUE

AND THEN WE CAN GO TO
YOUR PARTY THING AFTERWARD.

- YEAH.
- NO, PARTY ALREADY STARTED.

WE'RE HEADING OUT NOW.

YEAH. THIS IS SORT OF ABOUT
HER CAREER THOUGH, SO...

WELL,
COULD WE GO TO MY PARTY IN LIKE AN HOUR?

OKAY.

JULES, YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT?

- ARE YOU SERIOUS?
- I'M GONNA GO SAY, "HI."

AND THEN I'LL BE
RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

JULES...

- NO.
- I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

ARE YOU FOR REAL?

HI.

YOU'RE A LITTLE
OVERDRESSED FOR A BARBECUE.

OH, I HAVE A THING AFTER THIS.

IT'S MY MOM'S 60TH
BIRTHDAY AND MY BIRTHDAY.

WE WERE BORN ON THE SAME DAY.

GOOD TALK.

OKAY, SO BRECK'S HERE.

AND SO IS GENEVIEVE.

AND YOU MIGHT WANT
TO AVOID THEM BOTH.

WHY?

I MIGHT HAVE TOLD HER
YOU WERE SLEEPING WITH HIM.

WHAT? WHY?

I WANTED TO MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD,
OKAY?

I WAS A LITTLE OVER ZEALOUS.

AND SHE'S PISSED?

I WILL FIX THIS.

LAST TIME YOU
PARTIED WITH GENEVIEVE

YOU SAID SHE WHACKED SOME
GIRL IN THE HEAD WITH HER STILETTO

BECAUSE SHE WAS
FLIRTING WITH BRECK.

YEAH, IT GOT BLOODY.

I'M GONNA GO HIDE
IN THE BATHROOM.

OKAY.

I'M NOT A FIGHTER.

- I HAVE A PRETTY POWERFUL KICK THOUGH...
- OWW.

OH, MY GOD,
PLEASE. PLEASE DON'T HIT ME.

I DIDN'T SLEEP WITH BRECK.

SHUT UP.

HOLY SHIT. IS THAT MY DRESS?

THAT'S MY FUCKING DRESS.

THAT DRESS WAS MADE FOR ME.

DID BRECK GIVE IT TO YOU?

TAKE IT OFF.

CAN WE JUST GO TO THE
BATHROOM AND TALK?

TAKE IT OFF HERE.

IT'S MY DRESS.

OH, CAT FIGHT!

STUPID FUCKING GIRL!

- DID YOU SEE THAT?
- LOOK AT HER GRANNY PANTIES.

DON'T SLEEP WITH MY
FUCKING BOYFRIEND.

HEY.

OH, HEY.

ARE YOU OKAY? HERE TAKE THIS.

AH.

MAN,
GEN IS WHACKED OUT OF HER MIND RIGHT NOW.

SORRY YOU SOMEHOW GOT INVOLVED.

OH, NO,

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS HER DRESS,
YOU KNOW.

LIKE MY FRIEND MARA
JUST GAVE IT TO ME.

WELL,
MARA JUST YELLED AT HER ON YOUR BEHALF.

SHE'S TAKING HER HOME NOW SO...

MARA'S MY RIDE.

WELL,
I CAN TAKE YOU HOME IF YOU WANT.

UM.

OH. SHIT.

I MISSED MY BIRTHDAY PARTY.

- IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY?
- YEAH.

- AND YOU MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY?
- YEAH.

UM...

THEY PLANNED THIS
EVENT FOR ME AND MY MOM.

AND I...

DIDN'T SHOW UP.

THAT SUCKS.

YEAH, IT DOES.

UM, OH. AH...

I'M NOT WEIRD,
JUST IGNORE MY UNDERWEAR.

I'M ON MY PERIOD,

AND I DIDN'T WANNA
WEAR MY SEXY UNDERWEAR

'CAUSE IT GETS STAINED
WHEN I'M LIKE HEAVY.

I MEAN,
I'M NOT NORMALLY LIKE HEAVY, HEAVY.

I JUST...

TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

I...

I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK

I WAS LIKE A LITTLE GIRL.

YEAH, NO. I DIDN'T THINK THAT.

OH. GOOD.

SO YOU HAVE A THING TONIGHT?

YEAH,
I HAVE THIS DUMB FUNCTION THING

I HAVE TO GO TO.

BUT I CAN HANG FOR A LITTLE BIT.

MY...

PLACE IS NOT AS
BEAUTIFUL AS YOUR HOME.

HMM.

I'LL BE MOVING SOON.

MAYBE LIKE VENICE OR...

NO, IT'S NICE. I LIKE IT.

IT'S CUTE.

SO YOU'RE NOT A PHONE SEX GIRL,
HUH?

- NO. - NO?

YEAH.

NO PHONE SEX FOR YOU?

YEAH. I SAID THAT.

WELL.

OH,
MY GOD. I FEEL SO EMBARRASSED.

ANYWAY. I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT...

I MEAN,
I THINK YOU'RE AN AMAZING ACTOR.

BUT LIKE SERIOUSLY,
IN THAT LAST FILM YOU DID

YOU DID THAT SCENE,
LIKE WHEN YOUR MOM HIT YOU.

I REALLY...

LIKE I REALLY THOUGHT LIKE
YOU HAD ACTUALLY BEEN ABUSED.

WELL, I KINDA WAS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN, I WAS KIND OF ABUSED.

MY MOM USED TO HIT ME.

SHE WAS A PSYCHOPATH, ACTUALLY.

SHE WAS A... YEAH.

I MEAN,
I LEFT HOME WHEN I WAS 15.

AND I HAVEN'T TALKED
TO HER IN MAYBE 20 YEARS.

I REALLY ADMIRE YOU.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME.

I KNOW THAT YOU GIVE
PEOPLE YOUR COAT

WHEN THEY'RE BASICALLY NAKED.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE.

- YEAH. - YEAH. I DO, I DO THAT.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOU?

YOU HAVE COOL PARENTS?

UH,
WELL MY DAD LEFT WHEN I WAS SEVEN.

BUT BOTH MY PARENTS ARE ARTISTS.

MY... MY DAD LEFT MY MOM

'CAUSE HE COULDN'T
HANDLE HER SUCCESS.

HMM. THAT SUCKS.

MY MOM ALWAYS SAYS,
YOU HAVE TO STAY OPEN AFTER PAIN,

SHE SAYS THAT'S
WHAT ART IS ABOUT.

YOU'RE DIFFERENT
THAN MOST GIRLS I MEET.

I'M SORRY.

THAT WAS WEIRD.

MM-HMM.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

ERIC. ERIC.

WILL YOU WAIT?

NICE JACKET.

OH, GOD.

SO I LIKE TO MAKE VISION BOARDS.

IT'S A COMPLIMENT.

YOU'RE WEIRD. IT'S
NOT A BAD THING.

I CAN BE WILD.

OH, YEAH?

DO YOU WANT TO THROW
ME UP AGAINST THE WALL?

JUST A REMINDER,
I'M ON MY PERIOD.

OH, YEAH.

WANNA TAKE THIS TO THE SHOWER?

ONE PROBLEM,

IF I GET MY HAIR WET,
I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY BLOW IT DRY

BECAUSE OTHERWISE
IT GETS FRIZZY.

AND THEN ONCE ITS DRY I HAVE TO
IMMEDIATELY PUT IN VELCRO ROLLERS.

OKAY.

I HAVE TO GO, I'M SORRY,
I'M REALLY LATE.

THEY KEEP CALLING ME.

- YOU HAVE TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW?
- YEAH.

- OKAY. - SORRY.

YOU'RE SO CUTE.

I HAVE YOUR NUMBER,
I'LL CALL YOU, OKAY?

ERIC SAID YOU WERE SICK.

150 PEOPLE

SHOWED UP YESTERDAY TO
CELEBRATE OUR BIRTHDAY.

CELEBRATE? THAT
I'M 30 YEARS OLD,

AND IN THE EXACT
SAME PLACE I WAS AT 21.

YOU HAVE GOT TO STOP
BEING SO HARD ON YOURSELF.

WHERE YOU ARE IN
YOUR CAREER IS PERFECT.

YOU SOLD YOUR
FIRST PAINTING AT 21.

YOU HAVE TO TRUST THAT
THE RIGHT ROLES ARE COMING.

PLEASE DON'T SCHOOL
ME ABOUT AN INDUSTRY

YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

I KNOW ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST.

AND IT'S NOT ABOUT
BEING PERFECT.

IT'S ABOUT PEELING
AWAY THE LAYERS

AND SHOWING SOMETHING INSIDE

THAT PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO.

YOU'RE CONSTANTLY ON MY CASE
ABOUT THE KIND OF WOMAN I SHOULD BE.

I'M NEVER GOING TO LIVE
UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

HONEY,
I DON'T HAVE ANY EXPECTATIONS.

WHENEVER I'M AROUND YOU,
I FEEL SMALL

AND I'M DONE FEELING THAT WAY.

I'M FINALLY MAKING
THINGS HAPPEN FOR MYSELF,

AND I'M NOT GONNA
FEEL BAD ABOUT IT.

I NEED TO FOCUS ON ME RIGHT NOW.

AND I THINK IT'S BEST IF WE DON'T
SEE EACH OTHER FOR A WHILE.

I MIGHT BE SMALL.

OH, I MIGHT BE SMALL.

WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.

I MIGHT BE SMALL BUT I'M STRONG,
SIR.

YOU DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES.

THAT'S BULLSHIT, SIR.

I'M SORRY, BUT IT IS.

GIVE ME A CHANCE
TO PROVE YOU WRONG.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU
THAT I CAN DO IT.

WATCH OUT, SIR.

I WANNA FIGHT FOR MY COUNTRY.

ONE.

TWO.

THREE.

YEAH.

GET OUT OF OFFICE AND PACK YOUR BAGS,
THAT'S AN ORDER.

YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE,
SIR.

WELL,
YOU'RE THE FIRST TO DO PUSHUPS.

SHE'LL DO WHATEVER IT
TAKES TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

DID RICK TELL YOU
THIS SHOW IS MODELED

AFTER THE MOVIE,
"PRIVATE BENJAMIN"?

YES. BUT I WAS INSPIRED

BY HILARY SWANK'S OSCAR WINNING
PERFORMANCE IN, "BOYS DON'T CRY."

I THOUGHT IT WAS A
STRONGER CHOICE.

I RESPECT YOUR CHOICE,
BUT THIS CHARACTER IS BUBBLY

AND VERY MUCH
LIKES BEING A GIRL.

THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.

I CAN DO IT AGAIN
THE WAY YOU WANT.

WE'RE OUT OF TIME.

OH...

THAT WAS AWESOME.

THAT WAS AWESOME.

YOU DON'T WORK UNTIL NOVEMBER,
YOU DON'T GO...

WHICH IS WHY I WANNA SPEND THIS
TIME WORKING WITH THIS DIRECTOR.

THERE'S NO MONEY IN THERE.

I WANT TO AT
LEAST GIVE IT A SHOT.

I UNDERSTAND.

- HI.
- I TOLD YOU NOT TO DRIVE HERE.

I WAS TRYING TO MAKE
A STRONG CHOICE...

I... LA LA LA
LA. ZIP IT. ZIP IT.

YOU WERE TRYING.

YOU WERE TRYING. YOU
DON'T TRUST YOURSELF.

THEREFORE,
YOUR WORK IS NOT COMPELLING. OKAY?

AND LIKE I TOLD
YOU ON THE PHONE,

WHEN I TOLD YOU NOT TO
DRIVE OVER HERE TO MY OFFICE.

I CANNOT REPRESENT YOU.

I CAN GET A JOB.

I GAVE YOU TWO CHANCES.

YOU BLEW THEM.

LEAVE.

- WHO IS THAT?
- THAT? THAT IS NO ONE. THAT IS NO ONE.

HEY.

OH,
IT'S COOL. I FIGURED YOU WERE BUSY.

TODAY?

YEAH.

I'M... OKAY. OKAY.

BYE.

BRECK WANTS TO HANG OUT TODAY.

HE'S ON HIS WAY AND HE
DOESN'T KNOW I'M HERE.

GEN,
YOU CAN'T KEEP COMING IN AND OUT OF MY LIFE

- LIKE THIS. - GENEVIEVE'S HERE.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN NEW YORK.

WITH A NEW GUY.

I MISSED YOU.

GENEVIEVE,
YOU HAVE TO GO. I HAVE SOMEONE...

YOU'RE FUCKING SOMEBODY ELSE?

YOU AND I ARE NOT TOGETHER,

YOU CHEATED ON ME,
YOU REMEMBER THAT?

MARA SAID YOU LIKED
THAT BLONDE GIRL FROM THE PARTY.

MARA DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT.

SHE'S A NOBODY,
NOT TO MENTION SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S 12.

I'M NOT WITH HER!

THAT'S GONNA DO
WONDERS FOR YOUR CAREER, BABE.

I HUNG OUT WITH HER ONE NIGHT.

ONE NIGHT. AND I WAS BORED.

THEN YOU DON'T LIKE HER?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HER.

AHH.

GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE.

I'M NOT ASKING
TO BE YOUR CLIENT,

I'M ASKING FOR
ONE MORE AUDITION.

YOU'RE A ROOKIE.

YOU SAID YOU WERE LOOKING
FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS PASSIONATE

AND PERSISTENT ENOUGH
TO LAST IN THIS BUSINESS.

I AM THAT PERSON.

I'M NOT GIVING UP SO WE
CAN DO THIS AGAIN TOMORROW.

DO NOT THROW A
TANTRUM IN MY OFFICE.

HAVEN'T YOU EVER
WANTED SOMETHING SO BAD,

THAT YOU MESSED IT UP?

ONE LAST SHOT.

ARE WE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE?

I AM MOVING BACK TO SEATTLE.

WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME?

I JUST DID.

IT ALL JUST HAPPENED, JULES.

SO YOU'RE GIVING UP ON ACTING?

WHAT ACTING?

RIGHT NOW,
I'M IN A HOT DOG SUIT.

WE PROMISED EACH OTHER
WE WEREN'T GONNA SETTLE

WITH SOME PLAN-B CAREER.

I'M MAKING A LIVING
AS A HUMAN BILLBOARD.

ME TOO. BUT WE'RE MAKING 150
FOR THREE HOURS WHICH IS AMAZING.

AND IT'S JUST UNTIL WE MAKE IT.

YOU MISSED YOUR OWN PARTY

TO GO HAVE SEX
WITH SOME CELEBRITY.

LIKE, I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT

OR WHO YOUR
PRIORITIES ARE ANYMORE.

WE DIDN'T HAVE SEX,
BUT THANK YOU FOR THINKING SO HIGHLY OF ME.

I DO THINK HIGHLY OF YOU.

ARE YOU GOING TO SEATTLE
BECAUSE YOU'RE MAD AT ME?

NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU,
JULES.

WHERE'S YOUR FRIEND?

RICK GOT ME AN AUDITION.

WHAT?

I HAVE TO DO A SOUTH
AFRICAN ACCENT.

HE DID THIS ON PURPOSE.

I'LL LEARN IT.

I HAVE FOUR DAYS.

I CAN DO THIS.

OOH, GOOD.

MAXIE,
DO YOU BELIEVE I'M FROM SOUTH AFRICA?

DON'T MESS WITH ME.

I'VE... I'VE WORKED... I'VE WORKED
IN THIS TOWNSHIP FOR 15 YEARS.

YEARS... YEARS.

AFRICA. THIS IS AFRICA. T-I-A.

T-I-A.

I LIKE THOSE BUNS.

WILL YOU VISUALIZE ME

DOING GREAT AT MY
AUDITION TOMORROW?

IT'LL HELP IF YOU
BELIEVE IN ME TOO.

ARE YOU DOING IT?

DON'T MESS WITH ME.

I'VE WORKED IN THIS TOWNSHIP...

TOWNSHIP...

I'VE WORKED IN THIS
TOWNSHIP FOR 15 YEARS.

YOU CAN'T JUST COME IN
HERE WITH YOUR NEW IDEAS.

YES. T-I-A.

I BROUGHT YOU A GIFT.

YOU DON'T LOOK DESPERATE.

WELL, SET IT DOWN.

LOOK, HONEY,
I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING HERE.

A WOMAN IN THIS INDUSTRY
HAS TO BE STRONG AND BRAVE

AND DON'T EVER BRING ME FLOWERS.

I HATE PLANTS.

I MEAN,
BLACK THUMBS DOWN TO THAT AS A GIFT.

LIKE PET PEEVE, THEY TRACT DIRT.

THERE'S... THERE'S A
LIST... I DON'T HAVE TIME.

YOU DON'T HAVE TIME...
LET'S DO THE SCENE.

AND I BET YOU'RE OFF BOOK

SO LET'S START NOW AND...

GO.

DON'T MESS WITH ME?

I'VE WORKED IN THIS
TOWNSHIP FOR 15 YEARS.

SOUTHERN. THAT'S
A SOUTHERN ACCENT.

IT'S SOUTH AFRICAN.

OH, YEAH. SOMETIMES IT
TAKES ME A MINUTE TO FIND IT.

THAT'S OKAY. WE'LL DO IT AGAIN.

DON'T MESS WITH ME.

I'VE WORKED IN THIS
TOWNSHIP FOR 15 YEARS.

YOU CAN'T JUST COME IN
HERE WITH YOUR NEW IDEAS...

THAT'S... THAT'S ENGLISH, INNIT?

YEAH.

- DON'T...
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.

NEVER HEARD IT.

I'VE WORKED
IN THIS TOWNSHIP FOR 15 YEARS.

YOU CAN'T JUST COME IN HERE...

I'M JUST TRANSITIONING.

I'M...

CHANGE AWAY.

CAN YOU STOP WRITING?

EXCUSE ME?

I JUST CAN'T FOCUS.

OH, THIS IS THE PROBLEM.

HA-HA. THIS IS THE PROBLEM.

OH, OKAY.

WHAT'S THAT? DID I... ARE YOU?

DID YOU? DID I MISS SOMETHING?

SORRY.

I'M WASTING YOUR TIME.

-I MEAN REALLY SORRY... -OH.

- OH SHOOT.
- YOU KNOW WHAT, NO NO NO NO NO.

GO AHEAD, IT'S TO BE EXPECTED,
YOU DIDN'T JUST LEAVE IT.

THAT'S GREAT. YOU
LET YOURSELF OUT.

HAVE A GOOD DAY. BYE.
GREAT JOB. YEP. MM-HMM.

I'M A GREAT ACTRESS.

I'M SORRY I LET YOU DOWN.

GOD,
WHAT WERE YOU EVEN DOING THERE?

YOU AND BRECK HAVE
BARELY EVEN KISSED.

I THOUGHT WE HAD A THING.

STILL JULES,
YOU WERE TRESPASSING.

YOU WERE THE ONE THAT
TOLD ME WHERE THE KEY WAS.

WELL, I REGRET THAT.

LOOK, WHATEVER,
YOU'RE BETTER THAN GENEVIEVE ANYWAY.

SHE'S NOT EVEN THAT
GOOD OF A KISSER.

WHEN WERE YOU WITH GIRLS?

IT WAS A REALLY BEAUTIFUL PHASE.

HAVE YOU EVER LIKED ME THAT WAY?

NO, YOU'RE NOT REALLY MY TYPE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?

WE'RE BOTH JUST FEM TOPS,
YOU KNOW. SO IT WOULDN'T WORK.

GENEVIEVE WAS A FEM
BOTTOM SO IT WORKED.

I'M A BOTTOM.

NO,
I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'RE A TOP.

OH, MY GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

JULES,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE BEHIND A WIG.

I TOLD RICK I WAS BRINGING YOU.

I'M GOING TO APOLOGIZE TO RICK.

DO NOT APOLOGIZE,
OKAY? IT MAKES YOU LOOK WEAK.

IS IT DUMB TO THINK

MY DREAMS WILL STILL COME TRUE?

I'M LIKE... LIKE THAT
"AMERICAN IDOL" PERSON

WHO THINKS THEY'RE TALENTED

BUT REALLY THEY'RE JUST
EMBARRASSING THEMSELVES?

YOU KNOW, WHO'S MEAN?

LIKE REALLY MEAN.

LIKE REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY MEAN.

I SAY THE MEANEST
THINGS TO MYSELF

ABOUT MYSELF.

- HEY. - HEY.

I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON.

YOU KNOW THAT QUOTE,

MY MOM ALWAYS HAS THIS
QUOTE ABOUT THE TIDES.

NO WAIT.

SHIPS RISING.

NO...

BOATS LIFT, YOU KNOW.

IT'S THAT IDEA THAT WHEN PEOPLE DO GOOD,
YOU DO GOOD TOO.

BUT LIKE I DON'T FEEL GOOD

WHEN OTHER SHIPS ARE RISING.

I FEEL LIKE I'M DROWNING,
YOU KNOW?

I JUST BOOKED AN HBO SERIES.

I'M REALLY NOT HAPPY FOR YOU.

I HAVE THIS LIKE DEEP AGONY OF
WONDERING WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT

AND WHAT I'M DOING WRONG.

I'M GONNA GRAB ANOTHER DRINK.

COOL HAIR.

THANK YOU.

I'M REALLY NOT GOOD
COMPANY RIGHT NOW.

NO, I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT'S TRUE.

COME HERE.

FALCON WANTS TO LOOK AT YOU.

NOW YOU'RE DOING GOOD.

YOU FLY AWAY WITH ME?

COME ON.

OW.

WHERE ARE WE?

- SIT HERE? - YEAH.

I DON'T KNOW IF RICK LIKES TO HAVE
PEOPLE DOWN HERE WITHOUT HIM.

HE'S MY AGENT.

HE DOESN'T CARE.

YOU'RE SO PRETTY.

I WANNA HAVE A ONE NIGHT STAND.

I CAN TOTALLY
ASSIST YOU WITH THAT.

OH, I NEED YOU TO WEAR A CONDOM.

MAGIC TRICK.

YEAH...

FALCON'S GONNA
FLY YOU TO THE MOON.

YOU'RE GONNA GET IT.

OH, WAIT, CAN YOU MAKE SURE

YOU DON'T GET CUM ON MY DRESS.

I NEED TO RETURN IT.

HEY. I THOUGHT BY NOW...

HEY. I THOUGHT BY NOW

I'D BE IN A LOVING RELATIONSHIP

WHERE YOU WAKE UP
AND GET COFFEE TOGETHER

AND YOU HAVE DIRTY HAIR.

CAN YOU PLEASE STOP TALKING?

SORRY.

FUCK YEAH.

HALF OF ME JUST WANTS TO BEAT
THE SHIT OUT OF YOU RIGHT NOW.

AND THE OTHER HALF?

OH, WHAT THE FUCK, RICK?

WHAT THE...

OH SEE. I'M A BOTTOM.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

THANK GOD. GET UP.

OH MY GOD, JULES.

I CAN'T THROW UP.

GET UP.

COME ON,
I'M GONNA CALL YOU A CAR.

NO. OFF ME.

HEY.

WAKE WAKE WAKE.

HEY, LITTLE ONE.

OPEN YOUR EYES.

WHERE ARE WE?

STAYING AT MY GRANDMA'S
PLACE FOR A FEW WEEKS.

YOU PASSED OUT ON ME LAST NIGHT.

DO YOU WANNA HAVE SEX?

I HAVE TO GO.

NO, BUT SERIOUSLY,
DO YOU WANNA GIVE ME A BLOW JOB?

I HAVE TO GO.

HEY.

SHH SHH SHH.

HEY.

YOU SUCK.

I OBVIOUSLY DON'T
MEAN THAT LITERALLY.

SHUT UP!

SORRY FOR YELLING, GRAMS.

JULIE, IT'S... IT'S LIZ.

SOMETHING'S HAPPENED AND...

YOU NEED TO COME TO THE HOSPITAL,
SWEETIE.

UM...

YOUR MOM FELL DOWN THE STAIRS.

IN HER ART STUDIO.

JULIE, HONEY.

IT'S SHERRY.

YOUR MOM'S IN A COMA.

YOU NEED TO COME DOWN HERE,
DEAR.

THE DOCTORS WANNA
TALK TO YOU AND...

IT'S OPEN.

SHE HASN'T EVEN EATEN
THE FIRST ONE YET.

JULIE,
WHY DON'T YOU COME WITH US TO THE HOSPITAL?

I'M GOOD HERE.

SO AUGUST...

DON'T MAKE MEANINGLESS
CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW.

IT'S INSULTING.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

NEITHER DO I.

I THINK I'M GONNA BE SICK.

WILL YOU GUYS GO?

ARE YOU COMING WITH US?

ME STAYING AT THE
HOSPITAL WON'T HELP.

THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WHEN
YOU CARE ABOUT SOMEONE.

YOU SHOW UP AND YOU SIT THERE.

SHERRY...

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT DO YOU?

SHERRY...

I'M UPSET. LET ME TALK.

WE WAITED FOR YOU ALL DAY.

YOU DIDN'T EVEN CALL.

JUST LIKE WE WERE WAITING
FOR YOU AT YOUR OWN PARTY.

WE PLANNED THAT
PARTY FOR A MONTH.

YOUR MOTHER WAS HEARTBROKEN.

IF THIS WERE YOU,

SHE WOULD BE GLUED TO YOUR SIDE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

YOUR MOTHER WAS HEARTBROKEN.

JULES. HEY.

I WAS HOPING I'D RUN INTO YOU.

MY DEAR FRIEND, KYRA KNOWS YOU.

YEAH, YOU AUDITIONED FOR HER AS A MAN,
OR SOMETHING.

OH, NO, BUT YEAH.

ANYWAYS,
SHE'S PRODUCING THIS FILM

AND I READ THE SCRIPT
AND I WAS THINKING OF YOU.

THERE'S THIS PART, IT'S JUST LIKE
THE PART YOU PLAYED IN THE PLAY.

AND THEY'RE HAVING ALL THIS
TROUBLE GETTING THE FILM MADE

AND THEY'RE RECASTING.

OKAY, SO RAVED ABOUT YOU.

SO JULES JENSON, RIGHT?

- YEAH. - OKAY.

WELL, SHE'S GONNA CALL YOU.

THANK YOU.

BREAK A LEG.

I CAN'T GET READY
WITH YOU WATCHING ME.

HI, GUYS, HI.

- HEY. - HEY.

I KNOW YOU.

THIS IS JULES JENSON.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT
CHOICES YOU MADE FOR THIS,

BUT I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW

THE WIG IS NOT
RIGHT FOR THIS ROLE.

SO... WELL.

SEE I HAD THIS BRILLIANT
IDEA TO DYE MY HAIR,

AND THEN IT TURNED
OUT TO BE AN AWFUL IDEA.

SO...

UM...

I'LL JUST TAKE IT OFF.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE TAPING THIS.

BRECK IS PLAYING THE
ROLE OF ZACH IN THE FILM.

SO YOU'LL BE READING WITH HIM.

- YOU READY? - YEAH.

SHE'S SERIOUS, ZACH. SHE'S
GOING TO MAKE ME GO TO COLORADO.

AH. CAN I START AGAIN?

SURE.

SHE'S SERIOUS, ZACH.

SHE'S GOING TO MAKE
ME GO TO COLORADO.

SHE'S SERIOUS, ZACH.

SHE'S GOING TO MAKE
ME TO GO COLORADO.

SHE...

I KNOW MY LINES, I DO.

I KNOW THEM.

CAN I START AGAIN?

ONE MORE TIME.

SHE'S SERIOUS, ZACH.

SHE'S GOING TO MAKE
ME GO TO COLORADO.

SHE'S SERIOUS, ZACH!

SHE'S GOING... SHE WANTS ME...

SHE'S GOING TO MAKE US...

FUCK.

FUCK!

SORRY.

SORRY.

UHH...

GOD, I'M TRYING NOT TO APOLOGIZE
ALL THE TIME BECAUSE IT'S WEAK...

UM,
I SHOULD THOUGH IN THIS CASE.

SO I'M SORRY.

I...

IT'S JUST...

UM...

I CAN'T FOCUS.

IT'S JUST...

LOOK, MY MOM'S IN A COMA.

AND THEY DON'T KNOW
IF SHE'S GONNA WAKE UP.

AND I...

SHE'S LIKE THE
STRONGEST WOMAN I KNOW.

AND I...

JUST NEED HER TO WAKE
UP BECAUSE SHE HAS TO.

WHY DON'T YOU COME BACK?

NO. NO, NO. I CAN DO THIS.

I'M GONNA DO THIS.

BECAUSE OTHERWISE EVERYTHING
ELSE I'VE DONE IS FOR NOTHING.

SO...

I JUST AM...

I FEEL LIKE I'M GONNA
BE SICK FOR A SECOND.

FUCK.

FUCK.

SHE'S MY MOM, AND I RUN.

SHE'S SERIOUS, ZACH.

SHE'S GOING TO MAKE
ME GO TO COLORADO.

SHE THINKS IT'LL HELP
WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP.

BUT IF WE GET MARRIED,
THEN I WON'T HAVE TO GO.

UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE ME.

ZACH, SAY SOMETHING.

I THINK YOU SHOULD
GO LIVE WITH YOUR MOM.

SHE WAS JUST TRYING
TO GET CLOSER TO YOU.

WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING HER?

I'M NOT.

I JUST THINK YOU'LL REGRET THIS.

I JUST THOUGHT YOU
WANTED TO BE WITH ME.

I'M GONNA LEAVE SO YOU
CAN THINK ABOUT THIS.

WAIT, ZACH.

EVERYTHING'S SLIPPING AWAY.

I CAN'T HOLD ON TO ANYTHING.

YOU'RE THE ONE THING IN MY LIFE

THAT IS GOOD.

THANK YOU FOR SEEING ME.

UM...

I WAS THE ONE THAT
DECORATED YOUR ROOM.

I'M SORRY THAT I TRESPASSED.

I ALSO SPILLED WINE
IN THE LIVING ROOM.

AND THEN I MOVED SOME
FURNITURE TO COVER IT.

WOW.

MOM, I'M SUPPORTING YOU.

YOU'RE SUPPORTING CAST.

ALWAYS SUPPORTING YOU.

OKAY.

GET THAT TORN CORNER, FIRST.

NEVER PINCH.

IT GOT A LITTLE WRINKLY.

MOM, IT MATCHES PERFECTLY.

MOM, IT'S GOOD.

WE DID IT.

HI.

FIGURING YOU MIGHT BE THERE.

AND I RAN INTO LIZ AND SHERRY

AND THEY'RE FREAKING OUT.

SAID YOU HADN'T
VISITED YOUR MOM YET.

YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH IT.

YOU GOTTA GO VISIT HER.

YOU CAN WEAR IT WHEN
YOU... IT'S LIKE YOU CAN...

I CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO DO IT.

AND YOU CAN DO
IT WHEN YOU PAINT.

- OH REALLY?
- YEAH, BECAUSE YOU CAN JUST DO IT REALLY QUICKLY

INCREDIBLE ACTUALLY.

THANK YOU.

I LOST MY MOM TO
CANCER LAST YEAR.

I GET IT.

IS THAT WHY YOU
WANTED TO SEE ME?

I WANTED TO SEE YOU

BECAUSE I'D LIKE
TO REPRESENT YOU.

I COULD FAIL MY NEXT AUDITION.

THAT'S GREAT.

WHY IS THAT GREAT?

WELL,

BUT AT LEAST I HAVE TRIED.

AND IF SHE DOESN'T WAKE UP

BY THEN I'LL HAVE DIED.

BUT FOR NOW I MIGHT BE WORTHY.

AND FOR NOW I AM ALIVE.
