Hollywood Dirt (2017) - full transcript
Hollywood arrives en force to Quincy, the small town where the secret Crown Cola billionaires live. They want to film about the billionaires and how they made their fortunes.. Summer Jenkins, who was the town pariah, joins forces with the scout, Ben, and finds filming locations, extras, liasons with the town officials and house owners, etc. When Cole Masten arrives, they hate each other, but sparks fly. Cole is running from a nasty divorce, yet is captivated by Summer. Summer is dying to leave town to get away from the gossip. This is a great story about Southern customs, a Southern girl, and a Hollywood star who finds his lady.
[Music]
Our quiet town of 7,000 residents holds
more than a Southern manners
and prize-winning fried
chicken recipes
We also hold discretion
The biggest indication of which lies in
our bank's coffers and buried in our dirt
Cash - lots and lots of it
In our small town,
we have 45 millionaires and 3
billionaires. That's a rough guess
It all
depends on how stupid or smart
the generations have been with their Crown
Cola stock - that's where it came from
Crown Cola. Say Pepsi or Coca Cola
in this town and you best
watch your back on the way out. It was Cole
Masten, Hollywood award-winning A-list
actor. The man women would
think about in the
dark of the night
Who read a little
Southern novel that no one had ever
heard of and he was fascinated by it
A novel about our town. A novel that
exposed the plantation homes for what
they were
The camouflage of millionaires
[Music]
- God sent his son to remind...
- What? Now?
Sorry. Excuse me. Sorry
Where is everyone? Why, hello?
[Music]
[Music]
Sunday, only Yankees would think that
would be an appropriate time to thrust
- themselves into our lives
- Summer,
I'd imagine you're ready for your big day
tomorrow
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
- Hello -Hi
- What can I do for
- somebody stopping by unannounced?
- Please
tell me you're the owner of this
- fabulous estate
- No. Why? - Do you have
- owner's number?
- Oh, I can't give you the
Holden's number known
that you're a stranger
- Why do you want?
- I'm not really at
- liberty to discuss
- Oh, well, good luck
But, what? God
[Music]
Feel free to take a seat, Mr. Payne
It is hot out
- How do you know my name?
- The way you've
been stomping around town? The cows in
- Thomas County can even know your name
- Is that why
I've been so unsuccessful? Because I'm as
you so politely put it, stomping around?
It?s two-fold
You?ve been stomping around town but
you've not been telling
people what you want
This is a private town and we don't
like strangers
I was instructed to be discreet
Were you instructed to be successful?
Because you can't be both
- I?m Summer. Summer Jenkins
- Bennington Payne. My friends call me
Ben and at the moment,
you're looking like the
only friend I have around
- Here
- Lets not label this relationship just yet
- Now, what do you want in Quincy?
- I?m a location scout from
Envision entertainment and I'm here to
- Procure your spots for-
- The movie
- How do you know?
- Everybody in Quincy knows
about the movie
The mayor got the call
Caroline, the new secretary
she called her sister
Within five minutes, it had
spread like wildfire
You see there are
two types of secrets in Quincy
The ones
we keep close and then we have the
- really juicy one
- And the movie news is juicy
- So there shouldn't be a problem
- No one
- Is gonna let you film in their home
- Why not?
They get money, fame and bragging rights
People in Quincy don't need money
Present company excluded
This is the old South
Bragging is a sign
- of weakness
- Please, all the mansion's all
- the big gates
- Mm-hmm. All old money
This movie is starring the Cole Masten
Academy Award-winning actor
Quite possibly,
the most beautiful man to grace
Hollywood in the last decade
The man
women dream about in the dark of the night
Really? Not all the women
So what do I do?
I need a mansion preferably two and a
Bar or tractor, a cotton field
in 15 other locations
What I think you need? You need
a local somebody from Quincy. Somebody
who can negotiate with the landowner and
someone that can make all the necessary
- Arrangements with the locals
- But that?s my job
How much they are paying you for this job?
120,000 -I'll do it for 25.? 15.? 20
And I?m the only hope you have
[Music]
Deal
[Music]
- Okay. Are you ready?
- Let's do it. ?Cole, tell us
- about your wife
- I don't she
Needs an introduction I am pretty sure
- you're familiar with her
- Well, you've
been married now almost five years, which,
in Hollywood is quite a feat. Tell our
viewers what is your best advice for a
successful marriage?
That?s a good question
I think a lot of elements
elements make for a successful marriage
But if I had to pick one, I would say
Honesty. Honesty is crucial
Nadia and I
have no secrets
We tell each other everything
Our philosophy is to get everything
out in the open, no matter the
- Consequences
- I think that's great. I hear
you're going to my home state of Georgia
- for your next project
- I am, yes
The Fortune Bottle
It's a story of the early days
of this soda and the wealth that
created in a small town called Quincy
And how a young feisty secretary played
By Minka was very instrumental in the
Development of the product
It's based on a book
I read and it's also the very
First time that I'm in charge
of the production
We're gonna start filming soon
I?m looking forward to seeing
The Fortune Bottle when it hits the screen
So good to see you, Jenny
Thank you so much for having me
Come back any time
Minka can't make it
She wants to reschedule the
read-through tomorrow
Her heart's not in this project, Cole,
which is going to make it more difficult
for me to direct her
especially if she keeps
- rescheduling our meeting
- She said she's in
I can't think of anybody else
- Who fits that role
- We need an Ida, Cole. Can?t make the movie
- without her
- I'll handle it
Okay, uh, do you want me to schedule a
- massage for you later today
- No, take me home
I want to surprise Nadia
Oh, and, uh,
what's going on in Quincy?
Oh, the location manager
was a real hot mess
But he has turned it around and
he's securing locations as we speak
I liked my hotel
It has a pool and it's
hot here in Georgia
Why did she just looked at you like
- she'd been into a bad piece
- Quincy and I have history
Good afternoon, Mrs. Wright
This is Mr. Bennington Payne
He's in town scouting for locations for
the movie
That'd be the one with Cole Masten?
That's right. The Fortune Bottle
Mr. Payne would like to
stay with you if you have
room, of course
- Oh, would you now?
- He'll be in town for
quite sometimes while,
he prepares things
for the movie and of course he's working
- very closely with Cole Masten
- Oh, is that so?
Well, I might just have a room for you?
Mr. Payne
[Music]
[Music]
How bad is this?
- Gargantuan bad - Is the movie gonna crash?
- No, The Fortune Bottle
isn't crashing, okay?
Movies don't fall apart
over this. We should be more
worried if this is the end of Codia
People love Codia
Cole and Nadia are the
glue that holds our picture-perfect
world together
They buy each other extravagant
gifts and have ridiculously hot sex
together
Codia can?t fall apart. They can't get
divorced and we certainly can?t have Cole
attempting murder on Nadia's lover
Sheriff called and he's
worried if Cole Masten?s
violent. He's had a lot of calls
from voters. This is an election year
Votes are everything
Of all the things I'm worried about
Cole Masten?s risks to townsfolk
- is not one of them
- It?s not
The townsfolk he's worried about
He?s worried about your
California golden boy
This is the carry state
We value our
personal safety here
We don't want him getting
- himself shot
- Shot? They can?t
shoot the Cole Masten
No one is shooting-
Okay. Okay! Just simmer down
I think you got a
wrinkle
[Music]
On your forehead. Yeah
- The moment you?re yammering about Cadia
- Codia! Not Cadia
- Codia
- Whateveria
[Music]
Cole.? Got the divorce papers - Honey,
just hold a second I?ll be right back
Let?s go somewhere private
I'm sorry, Cole
You should have called
I got our lawyers involved
It's over
- We're over. ?No
- I don't love you anymore
I don't know if I ever really did love you
I mean, I think,
I just like the idea of you
- But, how?
- That we?re equals and you're
- no longer Bikini Babe Number 3
- Yeah
- I'm sorry. It's not personal
- This. This
makes it personal
Never caring about
The Fortune Bottle and now you want it
- It?s a joint asset
- No, it is not. I purchased it
I am producing it
No one's gonna think
- it's a joint asset
- I think it is and,
Tony agrees.? Tony, our lawyer?
He's not my lawyer
How quickly you moved from an apology
to business?
How long have you been
planning this?
I need a lawyer. The best damn divorce
lawyer in the country
That would be Brad DeLuca
He handles
- every big celebrity divorce
- Get him here
- I don't care the cost
- All right. I?m on it
- Wait where do you want to go?
- Anywhere with alcohol
- and women
- Okay
[Music]
Shit!
Thank you
- You're late
- Sorry. Business to attend
Bullshit! Pussy isn?t business,
and this,
right now, is the most important
thing in your life
So when we make an appointment,
- keep it
- You know you work for me, right?
Here. This is Leonard McCloud
He?ll put up with your bullshit and
cover your ass in court
- Oh, so they're the best. ?Exactly
- I've paid you
your advance - And, I?ll
refund it - Sit down and hold on
Please
Sit down
I'm sorry. I?m late
- Sorry?
- I'm sorry
Look, you've been a celebrity
for a long time,
but in a courtroom, against your wife?
You?re equals to each other
You?re, you?re nothing to the judge
You?re normal
If I'm gonna represent you,
you have to know that life as you know
it is over
You're not a bachelor yet,
not until this divorce
is final. You are my bitch,
and I will say
if and who you fuck,
what you say to whom,
and when and how you work
If you want to keep this film as yours,
you will leave this shithole
of a city and go to Georgia
You?ll keep your dick clean
and that pretty-boy head of yours down
and do your job? Nothing else
I've buried five,
five of your indiscretion since Sunday
My team doesn't have
time for the popularity
contest your dick has entered
We are gonna paint you as Hollywood's
Golden Boy. You listen to me,
and I promise you
I will keep The Fortune Bottle of yours
and any other shared assets you want
I just want the movie
She can have the rest
Okay, I need you to commit to my terms
No sex. No relationships. No women
Agreed
Oh, and,
let's go
- Go where? ?Quincy
- Morning, Masten ?This guy is fucking lunatic
We?re getting in a jet right now
Heading to Quincy
Now, now?? Yes. Now,
now It?s a fucking Brad?s idea
You?ll be there in a three and a half-
[Music]
Hey, you're that movie star?
Well, what you doing in Quincy?

- No, has my assistant not called?
- Nope
- Nope, nobody's called
- Is my car ready?
Nope - Bad news. Your
assistant been in an accident
What?
Posted on TMZ
He's alive, but he's
- pretty beat up
- We got to get back to LA
- No. No
- He's been my assistant for 13 years
I gotta go see him
No, you're not going anywhere
Oh, the
LA hospitals are gonna be a zoo,

- That worked for you?
- Sure thing
I'm checking the local contact now
- You?re going to burn
- No, I?m not ?Yes, you are
You didn't put on any sunscreen

aging you before my eyes
You do realize you're
in Georgia and not the
Wild West and you've completely

Cole Masten is here
That was his attorney
wanted to know where I was
He?s bringing Cole Masten, here. Now
- How far away is the airport?
- Five. Maybe 10 minutes
[Music]
They're not going to come inside
They're just
coming to pick me up
They?d probably

- Okay
Are you sure this is the right place?
Yep. Yep, Yep
Hi
?Hi. Is Bennington there?
[Music]
- Is Bennington here?
- Yes, he?s been expecting you
Uh, would you be a dear and fetch him

- Sure, I'll just get it
Thank you
- No!
- Hi, I?m Ben. Bennington Payne
- It?s so lovely to meet you
- Bennington, will you get
Mr. Masten settled in his hotel now?
I'm so sorry but because we weren't
expecting Mr. Masten
so soon, the estate
where he'll be staying
? Kirkland?s house
won't be ready for a few more days
but there are other options in town
Sorry, what? It turns
out the Kirkland house
isn't available yet but Bennington here-
- It's Ben
- Yeah, has a few ideas where
he can house you for the time being
Sorry to ruin this delightful porch party,
but can we take this inside?
- Air conditioning?
- Sure, if you have a second, can I get y?all some sweet tea
Actually, I gotta get going
My wife will have
my head if I don't come home in time
- for dinner
- I?m afraid, I didn?t catch your name?
Oh, Summer. Summer Jenkins
It's nice to meet you - I could fix you
- sweet tea for the road
- No. That wouldn?t be
necessary but I appreciate the offer
Nice meeting you Behave!
- How about that tea?
- Sparkling water, please
- We don't have sparkling
- Still is fine
How was your flight?
You do know it's rude to
ignore someone when they're asking you a
question
I've booked you in a motel room for a
couple of days until your estates ready
- Start over I wasn't listening
- I found you
a motel room until your state's ready
- in a couple of days
- Who are you?
No offense but how are
you involved in this?
- She's been helping me
- No offense, Mr. Masten,
but you stood in my living room,
sucking up my air-conditioner,
drinking my
still water
That's why I'm here and I'm
not involved in anything,
Mr. Masten. Ben here
is my friend
We were having a pool party
when your attorney called and
bulldozed y?all?s in here
- You?re all Southern fight and spitfire attitude
- Yeah,
get out or I swear to God,
I'll shoot you
She means it. She has
gun in her coat closet
She's fantastic
Pardon me?
There?s only a month before
filming it's impossible
Minka is dying to get out of
this movie. I'm telling you,
this girl is
perfect
Get your ass on a plane and come to Quincy
You're an actor, Cole
You know everybody
can't do this
The last thing I want is
is to stick a wooden face on the screen
That's the beauty of it, Don
She won't have to act at all
She just has to be
herself
No. I am NOT throwing this
whole movie in the can just because some
wannabe starlet sucked your dick
Cornfield
Cotton field. Didn?t you read the book?
And I am not in love
This girl completely blew
me off but she was
Georgian as hell doing it
Pure friggin? Southern charm
I'm telling you
you come here. Meet the girl,
and if you you don't
like her, all right. Tell me
to go to hell tomorrow
Alright, I have a plane
waiting for me Van Nuys
- in an hour
- Yes!
Alright, let's turn this baby around
Let's go back to the girl's place
- What was her name again?
- Summer. You want to cast
- cast her in Minka?s role. ?Yep
- But that?s the lead
- She?s perfect for the role
- Maybe,
you should let me bring it up to her
She can be a little headstrong
- Yeah, I got that
- I don?t think she likes you very much
- Good. That?s a good thing
- Summer!
He wants you to star in the movie - Oh, come
on. Bennington Payne, are you yanking my legs?
No, I?m not. He wants you to take
Minka Price?s role. He says you?re perfect
- Authentic. He said authentic ?She?s perfect for the role?
- How much does it pay?
No idea but Summer, nobody
gets opportunities like this
Girls in LA they?d screwed
They kidnap, they
- kill for something like this
- No, seriously. How much does it pay?
No idea. I don?t know. Ask Cole He?s in the
car - D?you mean waiting in the car?? Yes
- You must be Cole Masten
- Oh, how?d you know?
My daughter left me a voice message said
don't come home
Cole Masten is here
And nothing makes a
mother come home quicker
than to tell her to stay away
- How do you know Summer?
- I just met her today
- A few hours ago. I came here to meet Ben
- Oh, you work on the movie also?
I?m an actor
- An award-winning actor
- Well, that's nice
I?m Francis Jenkins
Would you be a dear and
- help me inside with this stuff
- Of course
An actor, you say?
Yes, ma'am
We need to work on that Southern drawl
Mama. I see you ignored my voicemail
- Oh, you called? I must have missed that
- Thank you
So did Ben talk to you about the part?
- He did. ?And?
- And I?d be curious
what kind of conversation you'd be offering
What kind of compensation would you like?
I don't know. I don't know what
would be fair. That's why I'm asking you
- And you trust me to be fair?
- Well, I trust you
to give me your honest opinion about
what the size of the role in this type
of movie for someone of my
experience would be worth
A hundred thousand
and that's being generous
Your name is negative box office weight
I'll have to spend a fortune to get you
camera ready
But I like you Summer and I think you
- fit the part. - Don't do that
- Do what?
That smile thing
It's really creepy
Millions of Americans would disagree
- Are you interested or not?
- No
- No, I'm not
- You're not?
No. Not for that amount
- I'm worth more
- The toe of your shoe
- all together by duct tape
- The amount of money
I have is not indicative of my worth
If it was, it would indicate
the lesser of us two
individuals on this porch
You?re saying you?re nothing lesser
- the individual
- I'm saying that right now
the only one of us being an ass here is you
- So you don?t want the part
- No
Not for that amount
Goodbye, Mr. Masten. That?s what we say,
in the South, when one person leaves
- It?s called valediction
- What is it called
- when one person makes a huge mistake?
- It?s called life
Gosh, she?s infuriating
Bad day? He's very handsome
- Yeah
- Want to talk about it?
That eggs already been laid
It can't be put back
- in the chicken now
- He's very handsome
[chuckled]
He's also very married
- Night, Summer
- It?s late
I know how anal you are about calling before
I come - Summer, I?m picking up Don Waschoniz,
The Fortune Bottle?s director, in this
pisshole you called airport in 20 minutes
Then, we?re coming to you. So meet us outside in 30
If you can sell him on your sweet demeanor, then,
the role is yours
You can name your damn price
Five hundred thousand that's
what I want and then,
- I'll do it
- Fine, 500,000 it is
Is that, uh... Apple cobbler? It is. I was
gonna make pie but I didn?t have time
Hope that?s okay for you all - Oh,
Mr. Don Waschoniz It?s nice to meet you
I?ll have you out here on the
porch because my mom is asleep
and she has to be up early in the morning
I don't want to wake her
I thought we could all talk out here
I?ll get you all the cobbler
So you live with your mama - Yeah, my whole
life. This is where I learned to make cobbler
- I don?t like cobbler
- You'll eat it and
you'll like it, Mr. Masten
Ahh? There?s my girl
- Coming?
- Yeah
She?ll be out in a minute
Hey, y?all. Ben, can you grab the door?
There you go - We?re short on time, Summer
Would you like some cobbler?
I know that you said in there
- that you don't like cobbler
- I'm good
Summer, can you stand over here?
- Oh, sure. Like this?
- How old are you?
- 29. Never married
- Turn your head to the left
Turn your head to the right
- Say something. ?Like what?
- Whatever comes to mind
- The brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
- Tell me about the cobbler
Cobbler? Well, I would have made pie
Pies much more popular around here
but it takes a great deal longer
- Look at me now. Follow me when I move
- It?s all about the apple
Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
[Music]
I need to see some fire in you, Summer
Can you get angry for me?
Give me some edge,
Why do you want to know what
goes into my apple cobbler,
Mr. Waschoniz? Are my
homemade desserts not good enough for you?
Don't come into my house
and insult my cooking
I will trot your testicles up,
wipe that California for a smile
right off your face
I will poison your taste
Okay. Okay
You can do crazy? I get it
Summer, honey, are you okay?
- I heard voices
- I'm sorry to wake you, mama
- The movie people came.? Oh,
- They want me in the movie
In the movie? You mean, with that
good-looking young men? Don?t smile like that
he just wants me for the movie
- You saw?
- Mm-hmm, if you say so, honey
[Music]
This is a joke, right?
This isn't actually where
I'm supposed to be
staying for the next three months
Please tell me, it's just this room
- Curtains with chickens. Really?
- They?re roosters. You can tell by the red comb and the wattles
- I want this chicken shit out of here
- Oh, come on
It?s cute and homey
We can't change any of the d?cor
Actually that was a very
firm stipulation
in renting the Kirkland?s house
We can't move or change anything
And who exactly agreed to that bullshit?
We did and that bullshit is the only
reason you're standing in some
cockroach infested motel. Ben here,
Ben is working his ass off for you
I think you know about it all the way in
California with all you-
- What?s wrong with you?
- What wrong with me? Are you kidding me? You?re just-
Kiss you. Yeah. Big deal You wouldn?t
shut up - You didn?t ask me to shut up
You don?t usually ask people to shut
up You tell them to - Hell, I?m telling you
kiss me again like that
and I?ll rip your eyes
out from their sockets
Well, don?t worry princess
I have no desire
to repeat that experience
I?ve had better
Much, much better
- Where's she going?
- Home. Holden?s plantation
and Kirkland?s house
They?re neighboring estates
She was living right next?
How pissed is she right now?
Never mind
Don't answer that
Let?s go, uh, we?ll see
- some locations
- You?re okay?
[Music]
- What the fuck is wrong with you?
- What? It's 8:00 in the morning?
I?m well aware of that
And my wife has come
three times so far this morning,
so get your ass
- out of bed and be productive
- I?m on California time
I was very clear on my instructions to you
You were to go to Quincy and behave
Not run around grabbing the first
- single woman you find. And then you made her your co-star?
- How do you know that?
- Deadline
- It hasn't hit any press. But it will
And Nadia?s attorneys are gonna
crucify you with it. You can?t put your new
girlfriend in the movie that we?re trying-
She?s not my new girlfriend
I?m sorry. Your new fuck - No
She is nothing and I
didn't cast her ?cos of-
I cast her because she is Ida Pinkerton
She?s perfect for the movie;
She was born for this role
And you?d be proud of me because I?m behaving. I
haven?t thought about Nadia once I settle down here
- Then why did you kiss her?
- How did you know that?
- The scout told me. We hired him
- There was nothing. That kiss was nothing
This relationship with her worth half of The
Fortune Bottle because that's what is at stake here
There is no relationship. Can I just
go back to sleep now?
Sure. At least when you're sleeping
I don?t have to worry about you
Check your email when you wake up I sent over
the response we filed against Nadia. It?s brutal;
I?m just gonna warn you. I don't want to
- punish Nadia. I just-
- We?re only being aggressive about
The Fortune Bottle, though I think
you're being a fucking Saint
about everything
Pop you later
- What?
- I brought you something
- Is it breakfast?
- Are you just going to holler down at me
in the rain, or are you gonna let me in?
I could have waited for you
to put some clothes on
I don't think so
You seem very persistent with those rocks
What do you have for me?
Can you please put some pants on?
It?s rude to waltz around with your junk out
I know yesterday was a little
rough so I wanted
to make it up to you with the
- housewarming present
- A housewarming present
To mend the fences
Between you and me
You want to kiss and make up
In a metaphorical sense, yeah
What you get for me?
?Right. Are you crazy?
- Is that a serious question?
- What normal person
will get someone a fucking bird
- for the housewarming gift
- It?s not a bird
He's a baby rooster. Oh, come on
I thought it would be funny
It?s hilarious. What am I
- supposed to do with him? Eat them?
- No, he?s a
pet
I'm serious, Summer
I can't have a rooster
I don't have time. I'm too busy
I don't know anything about chickens
It?s a rooster. I've had Fred
sexed him for me
You'll be able to tell by the little
spikes on the top of his head
Now I need
you to line this with
newspaper. Make
sure the lamp stays on all night
- Baby chickens need a lot of warmth
- You are
- taking this thing home with you
- No, I?m not
It's a gift and you do not refuse
gifts. It?s rude
[Music]
Oh and Cole? Welcome to Quincy
[Music]
Hey, aren?t you the guy, that, uh
I just got a baby rooster,
Cocky. I set the most
- original name but-
- Why'd you bring it with you?
I don't know. I mean,
doesn't it need
to be checked out or I don't know
if I could leave it alone?
You know, it's a chicken
It ain't a pet
I mean, you don't need to give
it a name or put up a
bedazzled collar on it
- What does it eat?
- Corn
- Corn? That's it?
- Yeah, it's a chicken I mean we ain't got
no Chef Boyardee nine flavors
rainbow got a crap
If you want to get fancy,
You can use that FRM formula over there
and cost twice as much
They don't make a
squat shit a bit of difference
Anything else I might need for him?
- Vitamins? Shots? Medicines?
- It's a ch-
Chicken, yeah. Got it
Hello. Special delivery from
Miss Ida Pinkerton
- Here's a script
- Thank you
Love that dress would look better on me
- You sign that contract yet?
- It's eight-two pages long
There can't be anything good
to say in that many pages
Then get an agent like a
good little actress and
- have them look it over
- And have them take a percentage?
- No
- Summer, I can't even with you
Either sign the thing or
pay someone to review it
Hell, get a lawyer
- Pay him an hourly review
- My ex is a lawyer
- Do you trust him?
- I hate him but,
- yeah, in business, I do
- Great. Give him a call
- I gotta run. Mwah!
- Bye
- Hi, Scott
- Summer, how are you?
Fine, thank you. I have a contract
that I'd like you to look over
- If you good
- Okay, yeah. I can do that just,
uh, send it on over to
Shelley, my assistant
And she'll make sure I get that today
I know who Shelley is
She was one of our bridesmaid
Of course you do
Something I'm used to saying
It's a talent contract for the new movie
they want me to be in
- Really?
- Cole wants me for the lead
- Cole?
- I've got to run, Scott and uh, I'll send it to Shelley
There's have been a lot of curiosity
about you in town. You work in the movie
That's just distracting facts from their
original business toward me
Well, I was thinking that
you want to leave
And that's why you wanted the job
For the money and a fresh start
Oh no, don't you worry about me
I mean,
that is what you do or not
Yeah, right? This little-
you feeling guilty?
Quincy was a great place for you
to grow up, Summer
But you're a woman now
And you you need to find your own place
in the world
I know that and I wouldn't be
a good mama if I tried to hold you back
- Where will you go?
- I don't know,
but I know I want to be
somewhere different
I want to be someone different
Someone without a path
Someone without scorn
I want where I want to be is
someone with a future
Will you come with me?
No
No sweetie. I won't. But you
will always have a home
Right here, with me
So let that give
you the confidence to go right out there
and take some risks
You deserve that, Summer
Deserve that
[Music]
[Music]
Can you believe they
cast Summer as the
- leading lady?
- And she had the nerve to
call Scott and ask for his help
Hasn't she done enough to that poor boy?
Maggie! Hi
How's that husband of yours?
He's got one foot on a banana peel and
the other on the grave, honey
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
- Nice truck
- Brand new. Bought all by myself
without my assistance help
because he's in the Hospital
Did you put him there?
What did you want?
I'm trying to call you for
the past three hours
You're not picking up
your cell phone
I don't have a cell phone
No, you've been calling the
house phone. I've been
- out here working
- You don't have a cell phone
- Nope
- You need to get a cell phone
At least for the next
couple of months until
the movie wraps then you're welcome to
go back to your life of reclusion,
if you like
- Why were you calling me?
- You got media training tomorrow
Are you building this fence?
- Mm-hmm
- Isn't there someone more-
Don't you dare says-
I'm more qualified
- I'll help
- Hey, City Boy. You stay in the truck
We don't want you getting dirty
I know how to fix the fence, Country
You called me City Boy. Stay
Cocky. Just set him down on
the tailgate and roam around
- You brought the chicken - I'd figure you want to see him 73100:52:35,380
- -> 00:53:08,009-And you called him Cocky - He seems to like it
- Where did you ever build a fence before?
- Didn't you ever seen the Legends of Montana?
Nope - Spent six months
on the ranch Bought the
damn thing afterwards
So yeah, I know
how to fix a fence
Thank you for your help
Got a lot of chores
to do before the movie starts
Yeah
See you around
See you at the media training
I'm Brecken Nichols,
media consultant in charge of PR
for the fortune bottle
You will be required
to help promote the movie so we need
to make sure that you handle
yourself with confidence and
professionalism
We're going to review
posture, smiling for
the camera, jargons
and abstractions
Set up straight. Okay
Hold yourself with poise
It just-
[Music]
Relax. You, literally,
look like you have a
stick up your ass
Glad I'm not the only one she hates
Grab some lunch
I'll work with her for a bit
You know, I don't eat
Neither should you
- by the way
- Who is she?
I'm going to turn of the camera
- How many you guys have worked on so far?
- Uh, something about jargon and
abstractions
As you can see it's gone
- real well
- You don't have to worry about jargon
You're Southern, that's okay
Okay
We don't need you to change that
Ordinance,
though, might be a problem for you
Rambling
Don't ramble. Abstractions
The verbal fillers,
that 'you knows', the 'uhhs'-
I know, I know
The fidgeting, blinking,
Summer, look at me
Forget the rules
Just ask me a question
- What kind of question?
- Any kind of question
Are you in pain?
You don't seem upset about her leaving
Don't ramble
Be concise and don't look away
That indicates shame
Nadia and I were together for a long time
Whenever you lose someone after a
long time, it hurts
But I think it's for the best
She's happier in her new relationship
And that's what I want
For her to be happy
That's what I would say if a reporter
asked It would put me on the
high road and subtly turned
everyone against her
Is it the truth?
No. Feel very odd about Nadia
I feel stupid
I feel off balance
I feel taken advantage of
I like that answer better
So would the press
The truth is always more
interesting but it's also
much more dangerous
Do you feel closer to me now?
- Having heard that?
- Yeah
If the public knows you, Summer
They will destroy you
I can't help themselves
They love our weaknesses
so much, that they dig deeper,
they feast
and pillage on our exposures until we
ask people-you as Summer,
me as Cole-are gone
And all there's left is what they want
- to see. Any other questions?
- What?
- Ask it
- Were you telling the truth when you said,
I was a bad kisser?
- No. -No
- Be concise. Don't ramble
I suppose being evasive is one of the
- rules also, right?
- Yeah, actually it is
- Anytime you can be evasive, you should
- Wait!
Thank you. It's been a while I needed to hear
that - It's been a while since you were kissed?
Don and I are meeting at my place
tomorrow morning
early to go over the script
You should be there
- Sure. What time?
- But I'm 8 a.m. Don't be late
Okay. We're ready to get back at it
- Yeah
- Sit. Not like you're milking a cow
- Where's summer?
- I don't know. Her line's been busy
Busy. Is everything okay
- Yeah
- I'll go get her
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
Summer
I pass your door. It's unlocked
Your phone's been busy
[Music]
For the love of God, Summer
If you want me to stop,
you'd better tell me right now
[moaned]
Yeah
[moaned]
[Music]
[Music]
Wake up, Summer
[Music]
[Music]
- That's a mistake
- That was not a mistake
It was. Stupid!
Is this something that you do?
You'd go psycho after you fuck someone
I don't fuck people and I'm not a psycho
I just don't want to
- cuddle with my co-star
- Co-star?
- Pretty high on yourself, aren't you?
- Oh, you really are
an asshole
Summer, am I missing something?
- Did I do something to piss you off?
- Yeah, you're married
My wife fucked half of Hollywood while
- we were married
- Oh, that's what marriage is to you too
She cheats so you cheat?
Everyone goes away
happy and even?
I never from the day
I met Nadia, kissed
another woman,
slept with another woman
Not until she served me divorced papers
Now there's a long list of my name on
top of her
Please leave, Cole
[Music]
- God sent his Son so we might-
- What? Now? I'm sorry
Sunday. Only Yankees
would think that
would be an appropriate time to thrust
themselves into our lives
[Music]
- Come on
- Summer, I imagine you're ready
for your big day tomorrow
- Don't you mind them, honey
- I don't. I just don't
feel great
You're probably going to help me anyway
- I'm an idiot
- You're not an idiot
- No, I'm an idiot
- You're not gonna get pregnant, are you?
Because that would make you an idiot
- No. I have a morning-after pill
- You bagged a movie star. You should be
bragging on Twitter and
throwing a fucking party
- Seriously, Ben. How much if I did mess this up?
- By screwing your co-star?
Honey, you wouldn't be Hollywood if you
didn't bang a co-star at some point
It's nothing
Don't let it affect your performance?
- I won't
- It's a good thing
my character hates it and we started
filming more now
I just want to get this movie
out the way and leave town
Forget my past and forget Cole
Masten
- When do you leave?
- A few days. No more beer
Now let's bring you into the 21st century
and get you a cell phone
Cocky tried to crow this morning
I was in the kitchen when
I heard him in the yard
First, I thought it was hurt
I know I've heard it when they learn it
- Takes him a while to figure it out
- Yeah
It was pathetic
- I was embarrassed for him
- Oh, he'll learn
And when he does, he'll do it
all hours of the day
Not just at dawn like in the movies
Gotta love Hollywood, right?
Do you need something?
- Are we good?
- Stay out of my way and we'll be just fine
- I don't chase, Summer
- This is not a game!
I'm not saying one thing
and meaning another
- Leave me alone
- I was wrong about you
You're a terrible actress
It's my money, and I think
I know how I want to spend it
Honey, you don't want
to invest in refreshments
Let the boys
downtown give you a
Certificate of Deposit
for that money
Or bonds. Bonds are a
great safe place for
your little inheritance to sit
Don't talk down to me
If I wanted to let my money
and smoke it like your cheap cigars,
I'll do so. I believe in this product,
just as much as you and all the other
investors. I want in
Thank you, Mr. Mitchell
Some of the investors aren't wild about
having a woman on board, Miss Pinkerton
And what would your
opinion be on the matter?
I love women. Then again,
you already knew that,
- didn't you, Ms. Pinkerton?
- I have no idea
what you're talking about, Mr. Mitchell
- Don't touch me!
- I'm sorry, Country. I thought you liked it
when I touched you
- CUT! What the fuck was that?
- Ask your golden boy here
He put condoms in my suitcase
Is that too racy for you Southern belles?
Relax, Summer. It's a prank
Stop it, you two!
I did not sign on to referee
Let's wrap for today
- It's fine. It's funny
- Look at her
- So did we get it?
- I think so, despite your best efforts
She needed her feathers ruffled a little
She's getting too tense
It's my money and I think I know
how I want to spend it - Honey,
you don't want to invest in refreshments
Let the boys
downtown give you a Certificate
of Deposit for that money
Or bonds. Bonds are a great, a safe
place for your little inheritance to sit
Don't talk down to me. If I
wanted to light my money and smoke it
like your cheap cigars, I'll do so
But I believe
in this product just as much as you
or any of the other investors
And I want in
- Thank you, Mr. Mitchell
- It's good. Beauty changes when she's mad
Another reason to push her buttons
- Do want to show him the other cut?
- Yeah, roll it
- What? What cut?
- I have no idea what
you're talking about, Mr. Mitchell
[Music]
- So?
- What's the purpose of that cut?
It's hot
I mean, I've got a hard-on just from
watching it. Look, Mr. Masten,
The other stuff is good but
this stuff has emotion
It's got heat
You two look like you're
moments away from banging right there on
the desk
He's right. I hate like hell to say it,
- but he's right
- We can't use this. It's too-
Real? Ida and Royce hate each other
That?s
already in there
But if we can use that
hatred to make sexual tension, it'll
bring up a whole other
element into the film
And it would bring in the female viewers
who, right now, we have no draw on,
other than your pretty mug
- She would never go for it
- Since when does that matter?
She doesn't have script approval
Okay, let's do it
[Music]
- Hi, Gus
- Hey, Summer
- Is that Cocky?
- Friendly thing. You know, I heard Cole Masten keeps him in the house
Yeah?
- Where'd you hear that?
- Around. Drove him here
this morning in his truck
Good morning. I've put the
- Sides and updated Call sheet in here
- Great
Thank you
There is a new scene so you want to
- review it before your call time
- Okay
There's a kiss
There is no love story
between Ida and Royce
I have read the book
- Three times
- I saw that in the damn book
It's the movie. Writers are adding
the excitement. If you're
in the business, you know
- It's normal
- You know I've read the script
Ida and Royce hate each
Why would Royce suddenly
pushes Ida against the file cabinet
and kisses her passionately
It is stupid
The passion from their hatred will make
- it hotter
- No, it doesn't make it hotter
It makes it stupid
I swear if he kisses me
- I'll be losing
- Yes you will. You'll
- fall apart under my mouth, baby
- Please
Don't flatter yourself
I don't even like you
Stupid side!
Well, that went well - What did you expect?
We threw this on her without warning
I told you. We should meet with
her this morning go over
the changes to prepare her
But no,
you wanted to dump it on her via call
- sheets and sides
- Dump it on her. I was one of the
hottest man alive last year
It's not like she has to
mentally adjust to a war camp
How hard can it be to kiss me?
It's actually three kisses and a grope
- I'll go talk to her
- No! With my luck,
you two would make up and any
authenticity to the scene
will disappear
Just stay away from her
Cole! Cole!
[Music]
- I want blue
- Red is punchy
Red looks iconic. Red is patriotic
[Music]
[Music]
All right, yes! Come on
Come on, people. Time is money
- Yeah?
- I need in California tomorrow morning. You've been
summoned It's an initial play
mediation. I've arranged
it with your director
Shoot your scene then get you ass
- to LA
- Good
- This is stupid
- What's the problem, Summer?
Royce gives Ida a car,
and in return, she kisses him
It's a peace offering
I would never accept a car
She certainly
wouldn't be jumping up and down doing
this whole pathetic routine,
you guys,
- have all these screwed
- It's not
pathetic
It's how women in the forties acted
You have to realize she's a divorced woman
looking for a man
Royce is giving her a
very generous gift,
and when she hugs him
in gratitude,
he goes in for the kiss
- It's logical
- It is logical if she's a woman
sits at home all day knitting
It is not
logical for Ida Pinkerton,
one of the
- Original 67. Am I the only one that read the book?
- Script aren't the book. It's an adaptation
Summer, I gotta get on a plan in two hours
Please, don't fight me on this
- You're leaving?
- Yeah, I gotta go home, rather, Los
Angeles for the night
My home is under
- the control of my ex
- Are you gonna stay?
That came out wrong
- Nevermind
- I'm at the hotel. I'm meeting with
the lawyers tomorrow about the divorce
Can we just please,
say our lines and get this baby
- wrapped up?
- But it's not real
I don't want to do this
This is not a character
Then ad lib it
Just like you did in the office
But in return I need a kiss
- Yes
- Yes, I know,
painful. Trust me, Country
I'm not looking
- forward anymore than you are
- Liar
Yes, baby. And so are you
- Let's roll
- Lock it down
Do you mind watching Cocky
for me while I'm gone?
- Of cource
- Just don't want him to be alone
I could take him over to my place
- Or I'm cooking over yours
- Yeah, if you don't mind
That's better for Cocky
[Music]
And, action!
Well, Miss Pinkerton,
what do you think?
Very impressive
Do you decorate all your new cars,
Mr. Mitchell
- It's for you
- Me?
- Yes. It's red
- I'm a woman, Mr. Mitchell
- Not colourblind
- You are also not very
appreciative. It's soda
bottle beer. I had
a dealership mix the colour just for you
How very generous of you
Where's my car?
- This is your new car
- I'm not deaf, colourblind,
or stupid
I can see that the car is red
However, you are of some misunderstanding
that I would be happy to accept this
from you
Well, indeed. That is my
misunderstanding, Miss Pinkerton
But I'm glad
that for once today we are on the
same page
- Where's my car? The black Ford
- Well, I'm not
- entirely sure
- Could you focus at the matter
- at hand
- Get it back
- You don't want it back
- You don't know what I want
I know you want this
[Music]
I mean what I said,
- Mr. Mitchell
- About what?
- I don't want it
- And us?
I don't want the car and I'd
appreciated it if you got mine back
Understood, Miss Pinkerton
Enjoy your long walk home
And cut!
Great job. Go catch your plane
[Music]
Hey, it's Cole
Just wanna check and see if
- your new cell phone's working
- It's working
Summer?
- Mm-hmm?
- Did you just fall asleep?
- Uh-huh
- Do you know how many girls would kill
for me to call them? Studios run
giveaways and shit like this all the time,
- and million's girls would sign up
- Girls. Not women
You know I used to want a belly button ring
I am NOT a belly button ring
Where are you right now?
- Which room?
- Yours. I hope that's okay
What are you wearing?
- Cole Masten, I am not doing this with you
- I am asking purely out of
concern for cocky
He's never seen a
naked woman before. I worry about his
poultry hormones - Poultry hormones
Cocky's just fine I'm not naked
I'm wearing an underwear
- And a tank top?
- No
I was hot and I'm going to sleep
- No, you shouldn't
- Uh, this is wrong
Summer, I am a rock
hard and all I can think
about is you in my bed. Please, don't
torture me by hanging up the phone
- You're thinking of me?
- I've been thinking about you all day
I wish you're here so you can reach over and feel me right
now - I've never done this before and I don't know what to say
You don't have to say anything just touch
yourself. Have you ever touched yourself before?
Oh, yes. I've been single for 3 years
I can cum myself to orgasm pretty quickly
I want to be with you so bad
I wish it didn't end so quickly
I've thought about it all the time
- You have?
- Yeah
Tomorrow night, stay at my house The minute I get off that plane, I'll
drive there, and I will pin you down on my bed and I'll worship you
And I won't let you up until my mouth imprinted on
your mind and your taste is my middle fucking name
- It's for the movie
- No. This is different
I've known you for 13 years
- And how serious are you about her?
- Serious? She's my co-star
Please. Nadia's team
breathing down my neck, and that
Rottweiler of an attorney you tied me to
threatening my nuts in a jar if I so
much as unzip my pants
What is this?
Some sort of rebound or-
- I wouldn't do that to her
- To Summer?
Fuck me. Are you in love?
The mediation is starting soon
We should go
Well, who let you in? This is
- supposed to be a private cafe
- Get the fuck out of here
And let me talk to my client alone
Let's just go outside and make sure no one
- gets in here
- Okay
I really don't want to listen
to one of your lectures today
Mm-mhmm
Was your assistant correct?
I mean if it
is something else and just let me know
We can attack it from a different side
What are you talking about?
Walk
I've been told to stay away
from someone before
Made me chase her down like she
was some kind of wounded gazelle
- She ended up being my soulmate
- So now you're saying
- that I can date her?
- I'm saying that I need
to know what's going on so I can control
the media
More importantly, the judge
and Nadia's take on it
I can't do my job
- if you're keeping things from me
- Honestly,
I don't know what's
going on with this girl?
That's the truth
Cole will get the boat, plane,
the Montana ranch
in the Fortune Bottle
Nadia will get the California
and Hawaii real estate
All bank accounts
will go to their respective owners with
joint accounts split evenly
Nadia do you agree
with the basics of this agreement?
I suppose so, yes
Cole, do you agree with the
- basics of this agreement?
- I do
Now, if you'll excuse me
I have to get back to set
Shooting a movie with a no-name and nobody
I guess I did hurt you more than imagined
Best of luck to you, Nadia
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
I can't do this
[Music]
Summer! Summer!
Miss Pinkerton, it seems to me that
you have a bit of an attitude problem
Coming to my office telling me
how to run my business isn't quite how
we do business here at Quincy, is it?
I must tell you after every time you've
been in here, I've felt, oh-this is
bullshit!
Learn your marks and stay on them
You've changed your marks five
times in the past two hours. If you make
up your mind. It won't be a problem
You touch me again,
I'll put you in your mark
- and hold you there
- Cut! Okay, Summer,
Cole, Let's, uh, let's take five
Brecken, not now
We're filming. Press issues can wait
- No. No. This cannot wait
- What's the problem?
It's not with you. It was Summer
How did I not know this?
How did we not know this?
We didn't think we needed to do a full
workup on her. I mean, look at her
We ran background criminal, porn searches-
did the blood work. Everything came back
- clean
- It wasn't a big deal. It was a long
- time ago
- So this is something you
- already know about?
- My Rehearsal Dinner?
No. The Rehearsal Dinner from Hell!
- Why didn't you tell us about this?
- Clear the room
I need to speak to Summer alone
You should have told us
We can control
something that we know about
This, we can't
control. Right now,
every tabloid in America
has somebody getting it on a plane
to Quincy
When they get here, they're
gonna find every single friend of yours,
and every Chatty Cathy and talk to them
- I don't care
- You will care. You may not care
right at this very second but trust me
- you will care
- I have been an outcast in this
town for three years
You think I care
about what some soccer
mom in Nebraska thinks
- of me
- It's not just soccer moms
in Nebraska
It's everyone in the industry
You know what I think,
this industry is bullshit
It's the one-off thing for me
After this, I'm leaving
You get a lead role in a feature film,
and you're just gonna disappear?
Yeah
You're not like any other
woman I have ever met
Thank you
Whether you value your reputation or not
you need to talk to Brecken
Let her do her thing
You may have to go on a couple of talk show
Just tell your side of story
No. I don't want to talk about it
You don't want to talk about it on camera
or you don't want to talk to me?
How do you care?
I need to know if I should have
ambulances on speed dial for my crew
I'll be worried about the crew
I'd be more worried about yourself,
Mr. Masten
Don't do that
Don't call me that. Not here
Then where, Mr. Masten?
I'm not playing this game with you
I showed up for the house last night
with an erection the size of Texas
- And you weren't there
- I'm here right now
Not here
I did a half-ass job with you
the last time
I'm not gonna make that mistake again
And I do care, Summer. Just stop
pushing me away
You could use a friend right now
A friend?
Will you stop hating me for
just 10 minutes and let me-
I don't hate you
You liked me?
It terrifies me
Perhaps, you and I more
similar than I thought
We both react, rather, passionately to
betrayal
I did try to kill a man with a
- porcelain elephant
- [Chuckles]
Tell me what happened
It's crazy. What I did that night?
[Music]
Three days before my wedding, I found out
my fianc?e was sleeping with
my maid of honour
Turns out I was just about the
last person in town to find out
Should have called off the wedding
But I didn't
If a kid, or stupid adult or an animal
eats something that they shouldn't,
they feed them Ipecac
Oh, it caused a violent vomiting
spell that got out all the nasty
So it was very easy to set up
The restaurant was serving cr?me brulee
for dessert, topped
with a medley of berries
I like to say I hesitated
but that'd be a lie
Two days of pent up anger, 126501:40:23,
...> 01:40:25,499 an hour of polite dinner
conversation with false friends
It all pushed me to my actions
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
It was evil what I did
In front of everyone
Especially Quincy where appearances matter
The town never forgave me
That was my last moment of glory
and the Quincy sun
You don't need them
I know I don't
And that is why I'm taking
my money starting a new life
That's why you asked about
the money right away
Get out of here
One of the most appealing things
about you, Country
Means your freedom
I was infuriating as it has been
You always say and act I feel
I want to propose something
It's Friday night,
We don't have to work tomorrow
Spend the night with me and for the next
24 hours,
no fighting. Just us together
Okay
Cole! Summer! We need to deal with it!
Tonight. My place. I'll handle this
You came
Yeah
I brought condoms
I have condoms. Thank you
Where is your bag?
I didn't bring mine. I thought-
You're staying the night
Are you hungry?
I grilled up some steaks
- Steaks?
- We don't have to-
No. No, steaks are great
Yeah. I can make some sides
Do you like okra?
Never had okra
Oh, you're in for a treat. City boy
[Music]
She definitely seems to recognize
me when I take her treat
When I ask the feed store about the treats,
I got laughed out of there
You just leave these
Girls come on Monday
Monday? It is Friday
I'm not leaving a sink full of dirty dishes
Let's just clear the food off and
set the plates down on the counter
[Music]
Focus
How do you think this
thing's going between us?
Cole
Come here
[Music]
I've been dreaming of this
moment for two months
Summer. Summer
I want dessert, City boy
And you for dessert
I want something sweet
You taste sweet
I want chocolate and whipped cream
[Laughter]
I think Cocky wants to go out
Chocolate?
You're incredible, Summer
Scott just got scared of your beauty
Your strength
And that incredible fucking mouth of yours
I think he felt insecure so he choses
a woman that he felt superior to
I just won't ever cheated on you
Cole, I see you
My God, you put up a lot of layers
of assholes just to keep people out
But I see the real you
It's not an asshole. It's me
No, this. This is you
Perfect
I love this you
And I love your asshole self too
I think I'm addicted
I haven't been able to stop thinking about
your system the moment you open your door
I've been thinking about this
These
But most of all I'm addicted to you
And I can't stop
I don't think I can ever stop
Ready for Brecken's lesson to use?
No
First rule of Hollywood, babe
The gods don't ask permission
Be yourself and don't forget to smile
[Music]
I'm assuming, since you've
squatted yourself
on this personal property,
that you know
this beautiful woman beside me
But what you don't know is that she's mine
And if you fuck with her you fuck with me
And if I'm ever so lucky, ask
her to marry me, everyone here is invited
We'll be serving cr?me brulee
so make sure you eat up
A joke, babe
Except for the marriage part
because I love you
Well, look at all these visitors
Y'all hungry for some tea and biscuits?
Cuz Imma bring some out lickety-split
And you're in this huge movie now
You're just-
Everything seems so-Good luck
I'll see you at the Oscar
this year For sure - Thank you
Thank you so much. I love you
It's Hollywood
They're great. They're great
Did you hear The Fortune Bottle is up
for several awards including Best Picture?
Summer made that movie what it is
- Mm-hmm
- Oh I ran into Shelly and she said
she think Scott and Bobbie Jo are
getting a divorce
I wouldn't be surprised if he
cheated on her just like he did to our
poor Summer
[Music]
Our quiet town of 7,000 residents holds
more than a Southern manners
and prize-winning fried
chicken recipes
We also hold discretion
The biggest indication of which lies in
our bank's coffers and buried in our dirt
Cash - lots and lots of it
In our small town,
we have 45 millionaires and 3
billionaires. That's a rough guess
It all
depends on how stupid or smart
the generations have been with their Crown
Cola stock - that's where it came from
Crown Cola. Say Pepsi or Coca Cola
in this town and you best
watch your back on the way out. It was Cole
Masten, Hollywood award-winning A-list
actor. The man women would
think about in the
dark of the night
Who read a little
Southern novel that no one had ever
heard of and he was fascinated by it
A novel about our town. A novel that
exposed the plantation homes for what
they were
The camouflage of millionaires
[Music]
- God sent his son to remind...
- What? Now?
Sorry. Excuse me. Sorry
Where is everyone? Why, hello?
[Music]
[Music]
Sunday, only Yankees would think that
would be an appropriate time to thrust
- themselves into our lives
- Summer,
I'd imagine you're ready for your big day
tomorrow
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
- Hello -Hi
- What can I do for
- somebody stopping by unannounced?
- Please
tell me you're the owner of this
- fabulous estate
- No. Why? - Do you have
- owner's number?
- Oh, I can't give you the
Holden's number known
that you're a stranger
- Why do you want?
- I'm not really at
- liberty to discuss
- Oh, well, good luck
But, what? God
[Music]
Feel free to take a seat, Mr. Payne
It is hot out
- How do you know my name?
- The way you've
been stomping around town? The cows in
- Thomas County can even know your name
- Is that why
I've been so unsuccessful? Because I'm as
you so politely put it, stomping around?
It?s two-fold
You?ve been stomping around town but
you've not been telling
people what you want
This is a private town and we don't
like strangers
I was instructed to be discreet
Were you instructed to be successful?
Because you can't be both
- I?m Summer. Summer Jenkins
- Bennington Payne. My friends call me
Ben and at the moment,
you're looking like the
only friend I have around
- Here
- Lets not label this relationship just yet
- Now, what do you want in Quincy?
- I?m a location scout from
Envision entertainment and I'm here to
- Procure your spots for-
- The movie
- How do you know?
- Everybody in Quincy knows
about the movie
The mayor got the call
Caroline, the new secretary
she called her sister
Within five minutes, it had
spread like wildfire
You see there are
two types of secrets in Quincy
The ones
we keep close and then we have the
- really juicy one
- And the movie news is juicy
- So there shouldn't be a problem
- No one
- Is gonna let you film in their home
- Why not?
They get money, fame and bragging rights
People in Quincy don't need money
Present company excluded
This is the old South
Bragging is a sign
- of weakness
- Please, all the mansion's all
- the big gates
- Mm-hmm. All old money
This movie is starring the Cole Masten
Academy Award-winning actor
Quite possibly,
the most beautiful man to grace
Hollywood in the last decade
The man
women dream about in the dark of the night
Really? Not all the women
So what do I do?
I need a mansion preferably two and a
Bar or tractor, a cotton field
in 15 other locations
What I think you need? You need
a local somebody from Quincy. Somebody
who can negotiate with the landowner and
someone that can make all the necessary
- Arrangements with the locals
- But that?s my job
How much they are paying you for this job?
120,000 -I'll do it for 25.? 15.? 20
And I?m the only hope you have
[Music]
Deal
[Music]
- Okay. Are you ready?
- Let's do it. ?Cole, tell us
- about your wife
- I don't she
Needs an introduction I am pretty sure
- you're familiar with her
- Well, you've
been married now almost five years, which,
in Hollywood is quite a feat. Tell our
viewers what is your best advice for a
successful marriage?
That?s a good question
I think a lot of elements
elements make for a successful marriage
But if I had to pick one, I would say
Honesty. Honesty is crucial
Nadia and I
have no secrets
We tell each other everything
Our philosophy is to get everything
out in the open, no matter the
- Consequences
- I think that's great. I hear
you're going to my home state of Georgia
- for your next project
- I am, yes
The Fortune Bottle
It's a story of the early days
of this soda and the wealth that
created in a small town called Quincy
And how a young feisty secretary played
By Minka was very instrumental in the
Development of the product
It's based on a book
I read and it's also the very
First time that I'm in charge
of the production
We're gonna start filming soon
I?m looking forward to seeing
The Fortune Bottle when it hits the screen
So good to see you, Jenny
Thank you so much for having me
Come back any time
Minka can't make it
She wants to reschedule the
read-through tomorrow
Her heart's not in this project, Cole,
which is going to make it more difficult
for me to direct her
especially if she keeps
- rescheduling our meeting
- She said she's in
I can't think of anybody else
- Who fits that role
- We need an Ida, Cole. Can?t make the movie
- without her
- I'll handle it
Okay, uh, do you want me to schedule a
- massage for you later today
- No, take me home
I want to surprise Nadia
Oh, and, uh,
what's going on in Quincy?
Oh, the location manager
was a real hot mess
But he has turned it around and
he's securing locations as we speak
I liked my hotel
It has a pool and it's
hot here in Georgia
Why did she just looked at you like
- she'd been into a bad piece
- Quincy and I have history
Good afternoon, Mrs. Wright
This is Mr. Bennington Payne
He's in town scouting for locations for
the movie
That'd be the one with Cole Masten?
That's right. The Fortune Bottle
Mr. Payne would like to
stay with you if you have
room, of course
- Oh, would you now?
- He'll be in town for
quite sometimes while,
he prepares things
for the movie and of course he's working
- very closely with Cole Masten
- Oh, is that so?
Well, I might just have a room for you?
Mr. Payne
[Music]
[Music]
How bad is this?
- Gargantuan bad - Is the movie gonna crash?
- No, The Fortune Bottle
isn't crashing, okay?
Movies don't fall apart
over this. We should be more
worried if this is the end of Codia
People love Codia
Cole and Nadia are the
glue that holds our picture-perfect
world together
They buy each other extravagant
gifts and have ridiculously hot sex
together
Codia can?t fall apart. They can't get
divorced and we certainly can?t have Cole
attempting murder on Nadia's lover
Sheriff called and he's
worried if Cole Masten?s
violent. He's had a lot of calls
from voters. This is an election year
Votes are everything
Of all the things I'm worried about
Cole Masten?s risks to townsfolk
- is not one of them
- It?s not
The townsfolk he's worried about
He?s worried about your
California golden boy
This is the carry state
We value our
personal safety here
We don't want him getting
- himself shot
- Shot? They can?t
shoot the Cole Masten
No one is shooting-
Okay. Okay! Just simmer down
I think you got a
wrinkle
[Music]
On your forehead. Yeah
- The moment you?re yammering about Cadia
- Codia! Not Cadia
- Codia
- Whateveria
[Music]
Cole.? Got the divorce papers - Honey,
just hold a second I?ll be right back
Let?s go somewhere private
I'm sorry, Cole
You should have called
I got our lawyers involved
It's over
- We're over. ?No
- I don't love you anymore
I don't know if I ever really did love you
I mean, I think,
I just like the idea of you
- But, how?
- That we?re equals and you're
- no longer Bikini Babe Number 3
- Yeah
- I'm sorry. It's not personal
- This. This
makes it personal
Never caring about
The Fortune Bottle and now you want it
- It?s a joint asset
- No, it is not. I purchased it
I am producing it
No one's gonna think
- it's a joint asset
- I think it is and,
Tony agrees.? Tony, our lawyer?
He's not my lawyer
How quickly you moved from an apology
to business?
How long have you been
planning this?
I need a lawyer. The best damn divorce
lawyer in the country
That would be Brad DeLuca
He handles
- every big celebrity divorce
- Get him here
- I don't care the cost
- All right. I?m on it
- Wait where do you want to go?
- Anywhere with alcohol
- and women
- Okay
[Music]
Shit!
Thank you
- You're late
- Sorry. Business to attend
Bullshit! Pussy isn?t business,
and this,
right now, is the most important
thing in your life
So when we make an appointment,
- keep it
- You know you work for me, right?
Here. This is Leonard McCloud
He?ll put up with your bullshit and
cover your ass in court
- Oh, so they're the best. ?Exactly
- I've paid you
your advance - And, I?ll
refund it - Sit down and hold on
Please
Sit down
I'm sorry. I?m late
- Sorry?
- I'm sorry
Look, you've been a celebrity
for a long time,
but in a courtroom, against your wife?
You?re equals to each other
You?re, you?re nothing to the judge
You?re normal
If I'm gonna represent you,
you have to know that life as you know
it is over
You're not a bachelor yet,
not until this divorce
is final. You are my bitch,
and I will say
if and who you fuck,
what you say to whom,
and when and how you work
If you want to keep this film as yours,
you will leave this shithole
of a city and go to Georgia
You?ll keep your dick clean
and that pretty-boy head of yours down
and do your job? Nothing else
I've buried five,
five of your indiscretion since Sunday
My team doesn't have
time for the popularity
contest your dick has entered
We are gonna paint you as Hollywood's
Golden Boy. You listen to me,
and I promise you
I will keep The Fortune Bottle of yours
and any other shared assets you want
I just want the movie
She can have the rest
Okay, I need you to commit to my terms
No sex. No relationships. No women
Agreed
Oh, and,
let's go
- Go where? ?Quincy
- Morning, Masten ?This guy is fucking lunatic
We?re getting in a jet right now
Heading to Quincy
Now, now?? Yes. Now,
now It?s a fucking Brad?s idea
You?ll be there in a three and a half-
[Music]
Hey, you're that movie star?
Well, what you doing in Quincy?
You got engine trouble?
- No, has my assistant not called?
- Nope
- Nope, nobody's called
- Is my car ready?
Nope - Bad news. Your
assistant been in an accident
What?
Posted on TMZ
He's alive, but he's
- pretty beat up
- We got to get back to LA
- No. No
- He's been my assistant for 13 years
I gotta go see him
No, you're not going anywhere
Oh, the
LA hospitals are gonna be a zoo,
- waiting for you
- Mean to a borrow a vehicle?
- That worked for you?
- Sure thing
I'm checking the local contact now
- You?re going to burn
- No, I?m not ?Yes, you are
You didn't put on any sunscreen
- I don?t wear sunscreen
- You do realize the Sun is literally
aging you before my eyes
You do realize you're
in Georgia and not the
Wild West and you've completely
- ridiculous in that cowboy hat
- I look
- fantastic
- You look stupid
[Laughter]
No days off for important people - Bennington Payne. Where
am I right now? Quincy. I?m sorry. Who is this? Yes, sir?
Yeah, I thought that-okay. Okay
What?s your address?
- 4 Darrow Lane
- 4 Darrow Lane. Okay, yeah
Thank you so-ciao!
Cole Masten is here
That was his attorney
wanted to know where I was
He?s bringing Cole Masten, here. Now
- How far away is the airport?
- Five. Maybe 10 minutes
[Music]
They're not going to come inside
They're just
coming to pick me up
They?d probably
- won't even get out of the car
- Okay
Are you sure this is the right place?
Yep. Yep, Yep
Hi
?Hi. Is Bennington there?
[Music]
- Is Bennington here?
- Yes, he?s been expecting you
Uh, would you be a dear and fetch him
- for us
- Sure, I'll just get it
Thank you
- No!
- Hi, I?m Ben. Bennington Payne
- It?s so lovely to meet you
- Bennington, will you get
Mr. Masten settled in his hotel now?
I'm so sorry but because we weren't
expecting Mr. Masten
so soon, the estate
where he'll be staying
? Kirkland?s house
won't be ready for a few more days
but there are other options in town
Sorry, what? It turns
out the Kirkland house
isn't available yet but Bennington here-
- It's Ben
- Yeah, has a few ideas where
he can house you for the time being
Sorry to ruin this delightful porch party,
but can we take this inside?
- Air conditioning?
- Sure, if you have a second, can I get y?all some sweet tea
Actually, I gotta get going
My wife will have
my head if I don't come home in time
- for dinner
- I?m afraid, I didn?t catch your name?
Oh, Summer. Summer Jenkins
It's nice to meet you - I could fix you
- sweet tea for the road
- No. That wouldn?t be
necessary but I appreciate the offer
Nice meeting you Behave!
- How about that tea?
- Sparkling water, please
- We don't have sparkling
- Still is fine
How was your flight?
You do know it's rude to
ignore someone when they're asking you a
question
I've booked you in a motel room for a
couple of days until your estates ready
- Start over I wasn't listening
- I found you
a motel room until your state's ready
- in a couple of days
- Who are you?
No offense but how are
you involved in this?
- She's been helping me
- No offense, Mr. Masten,
but you stood in my living room,
sucking up my air-conditioner,
drinking my
still water
That's why I'm here and I'm
not involved in anything,
Mr. Masten. Ben here
is my friend
We were having a pool party
when your attorney called and
bulldozed y?all?s in here
- You?re all Southern fight and spitfire attitude
- Yeah,
get out or I swear to God,
I'll shoot you
She means it. She has
gun in her coat closet
She's fantastic
Pardon me?
There?s only a month before
filming it's impossible
Minka is dying to get out of
this movie. I'm telling you,
this girl is
perfect
Get your ass on a plane and come to Quincy
You're an actor, Cole
You know everybody
can't do this
The last thing I want is
is to stick a wooden face on the screen
That's the beauty of it, Don
She won't have to act at all
She just has to be
herself
No. I am NOT throwing this
whole movie in the can just because some
wannabe starlet sucked your dick
Cornfield
Cotton field. Didn?t you read the book?
And I am not in love
This girl completely blew
me off but she was
Georgian as hell doing it
Pure friggin? Southern charm
I'm telling you
you come here. Meet the girl,
and if you you don't
like her, all right. Tell me
to go to hell tomorrow
Alright, I have a plane
waiting for me Van Nuys
- in an hour
- Yes!
Alright, let's turn this baby around
Let's go back to the girl's place
- What was her name again?
- Summer. You want to cast
- cast her in Minka?s role. ?Yep
- But that?s the lead
- She?s perfect for the role
- Maybe,
you should let me bring it up to her
She can be a little headstrong
- Yeah, I got that
- I don?t think she likes you very much
- Good. That?s a good thing
- Summer!
He wants you to star in the movie - Oh, come
on. Bennington Payne, are you yanking my legs?
No, I?m not. He wants you to take
Minka Price?s role. He says you?re perfect
- Authentic. He said authentic ?She?s perfect for the role?
- How much does it pay?
No idea but Summer, nobody
gets opportunities like this
Girls in LA they?d screwed
They kidnap, they
- kill for something like this
- No, seriously. How much does it pay?
No idea. I don?t know. Ask Cole He?s in the
car - D?you mean waiting in the car?? Yes
- You must be Cole Masten
- Oh, how?d you know?
My daughter left me a voice message said
don't come home
Cole Masten is here
And nothing makes a
mother come home quicker
than to tell her to stay away
- How do you know Summer?
- I just met her today
- A few hours ago. I came here to meet Ben
- Oh, you work on the movie also?
I?m an actor
- An award-winning actor
- Well, that's nice
I?m Francis Jenkins
Would you be a dear and
- help me inside with this stuff
- Of course
An actor, you say?
Yes, ma'am
We need to work on that Southern drawl
Mama. I see you ignored my voicemail
- Oh, you called? I must have missed that
- Thank you
So did Ben talk to you about the part?
- He did. ?And?
- And I?d be curious
what kind of conversation you'd be offering
What kind of compensation would you like?
I don't know. I don't know what
would be fair. That's why I'm asking you
- And you trust me to be fair?
- Well, I trust you
to give me your honest opinion about
what the size of the role in this type
of movie for someone of my
experience would be worth
A hundred thousand
and that's being generous
Your name is negative box office weight
I'll have to spend a fortune to get you
camera ready
But I like you Summer and I think you
- fit the part. - Don't do that
- Do what?
That smile thing
It's really creepy
Millions of Americans would disagree
- Are you interested or not?
- No
- No, I'm not
- You're not?
No. Not for that amount
- I'm worth more
- The toe of your shoe
- all together by duct tape
- The amount of money
I have is not indicative of my worth
If it was, it would indicate
the lesser of us two
individuals on this porch
You?re saying you?re nothing lesser
- the individual
- I'm saying that right now
the only one of us being an ass here is you
- So you don?t want the part
- No
Not for that amount
Goodbye, Mr. Masten. That?s what we say,
in the South, when one person leaves
- It?s called valediction
- What is it called
- when one person makes a huge mistake?
- It?s called life
Gosh, she?s infuriating
Bad day? He's very handsome
- Yeah
- Want to talk about it?
That eggs already been laid
It can't be put back
- in the chicken now
- He's very handsome
[chuckled]
He's also very married
- Night, Summer
- It?s late
I know how anal you are about calling before
I come - Summer, I?m picking up Don Waschoniz,
The Fortune Bottle?s director, in this
pisshole you called airport in 20 minutes
Then, we?re coming to you. So meet us outside in 30
If you can sell him on your sweet demeanor, then,
the role is yours
You can name your damn price
Five hundred thousand that's
what I want and then,
- I'll do it
- Fine, 500,000 it is
Is that, uh... Apple cobbler? It is. I was
gonna make pie but I didn?t have time
Hope that?s okay for you all - Oh,
Mr. Don Waschoniz It?s nice to meet you
I?ll have you out here on the
porch because my mom is asleep
and she has to be up early in the morning
I don't want to wake her
I thought we could all talk out here
I?ll get you all the cobbler
So you live with your mama - Yeah, my whole
life. This is where I learned to make cobbler
- I don?t like cobbler
- You'll eat it and
you'll like it, Mr. Masten
Ahh? There?s my girl
- Coming?
- Yeah
She?ll be out in a minute
Hey, y?all. Ben, can you grab the door?
There you go - We?re short on time, Summer
Would you like some cobbler?
I know that you said in there
- that you don't like cobbler
- I'm good
Summer, can you stand over here?
- Oh, sure. Like this?
- How old are you?
- 29. Never married
- Turn your head to the left
Turn your head to the right
- Say something. ?Like what?
- Whatever comes to mind
- The brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
- Tell me about the cobbler
Cobbler? Well, I would have made pie
Pies much more popular around here
but it takes a great deal longer
- Look at me now. Follow me when I move
- It?s all about the apple
Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
[Music]
I need to see some fire in you, Summer
Can you get angry for me?
Give me some edge,
Why do you want to know what
goes into my apple cobbler,
Mr. Waschoniz? Are my
homemade desserts not good enough for you?
Don't come into my house
and insult my cooking
I will trot your testicles up,
wipe that California for a smile
right off your face
I will poison your taste
Okay. Okay
You can do crazy? I get it
Summer, honey, are you okay?
- I heard voices
- I'm sorry to wake you, mama
- The movie people came.? Oh,
- They want me in the movie
In the movie? You mean, with that
good-looking young men? Don?t smile like that
he just wants me for the movie
- You saw?
- Mm-hmm, if you say so, honey
[Music]
This is a joke, right?
This isn't actually where
I'm supposed to be
staying for the next three months
Please tell me, it's just this room
- Curtains with chickens. Really?
- They?re roosters. You can tell by the red comb and the wattles
- I want this chicken shit out of here
- Oh, come on
It?s cute and homey
We can't change any of the d?cor
Actually that was a very
firm stipulation
in renting the Kirkland?s house
We can't move or change anything
And who exactly agreed to that bullshit?
We did and that bullshit is the only
reason you're standing in some
cockroach infested motel. Ben here,
Ben is working his ass off for you
I think you know about it all the way in
California with all you-
- What?s wrong with you?
- What wrong with me? Are you kidding me? You?re just-
Kiss you. Yeah. Big deal You wouldn?t
shut up - You didn?t ask me to shut up
You don?t usually ask people to shut
up You tell them to - Hell, I?m telling you
kiss me again like that
and I?ll rip your eyes
out from their sockets
Well, don?t worry princess
I have no desire
to repeat that experience
I?ve had better
Much, much better
- Where's she going?
- Home. Holden?s plantation
and Kirkland?s house
They?re neighboring estates
She was living right next?
How pissed is she right now?
Never mind
Don't answer that
Let?s go, uh, we?ll see
- some locations
- You?re okay?
[Music]
- What the fuck is wrong with you?
- What? It's 8:00 in the morning?
I?m well aware of that
And my wife has come
three times so far this morning,
so get your ass
- out of bed and be productive
- I?m on California time
I was very clear on my instructions to you
You were to go to Quincy and behave
Not run around grabbing the first
- single woman you find. And then you made her your co-star?
- How do you know that?
- Deadline
- It hasn't hit any press. But it will
And Nadia?s attorneys are gonna
crucify you with it. You can?t put your new
girlfriend in the movie that we?re trying-
She?s not my new girlfriend
I?m sorry. Your new fuck - No
She is nothing and I
didn't cast her ?cos of-
I cast her because she is Ida Pinkerton
She?s perfect for the movie;
She was born for this role
And you?d be proud of me because I?m behaving. I
haven?t thought about Nadia once I settle down here
- Then why did you kiss her?
- How did you know that?
- The scout told me. We hired him
- There was nothing. That kiss was nothing
This relationship with her worth half of The
Fortune Bottle because that's what is at stake here
There is no relationship. Can I just
go back to sleep now?
Sure. At least when you're sleeping
I don?t have to worry about you
Check your email when you wake up I sent over
the response we filed against Nadia. It?s brutal;
I?m just gonna warn you. I don't want to
- punish Nadia. I just-
- We?re only being aggressive about
The Fortune Bottle, though I think
you're being a fucking Saint
about everything
Pop you later
- What?
- I brought you something
- Is it breakfast?
- Are you just going to holler down at me
in the rain, or are you gonna let me in?
I could have waited for you
to put some clothes on
I don't think so
You seem very persistent with those rocks
What do you have for me?
Can you please put some pants on?
It?s rude to waltz around with your junk out
I know yesterday was a little
rough so I wanted
to make it up to you with the
- housewarming present
- A housewarming present
To mend the fences
Between you and me
You want to kiss and make up
In a metaphorical sense, yeah
What you get for me?
?Right. Are you crazy?
- Is that a serious question?
- What normal person
will get someone a fucking bird
- for the housewarming gift
- It?s not a bird
He's a baby rooster. Oh, come on
I thought it would be funny
It?s hilarious. What am I
- supposed to do with him? Eat them?
- No, he?s a
pet
I'm serious, Summer
I can't have a rooster
I don't have time. I'm too busy
I don't know anything about chickens
It?s a rooster. I've had Fred
sexed him for me
You'll be able to tell by the little
spikes on the top of his head
Now I need
you to line this with
newspaper. Make
sure the lamp stays on all night
- Baby chickens need a lot of warmth
- You are
- taking this thing home with you
- No, I?m not
It's a gift and you do not refuse
gifts. It?s rude
[Music]
Oh and Cole? Welcome to Quincy
[Music]
Hey, aren?t you the guy, that, uh
I just got a baby rooster,
Cocky. I set the most
- original name but-
- Why'd you bring it with you?
I don't know. I mean,
doesn't it need
to be checked out or I don't know
if I could leave it alone?
You know, it's a chicken
It ain't a pet
I mean, you don't need to give
it a name or put up a
bedazzled collar on it
- What does it eat?
- Corn
- Corn? That's it?
- Yeah, it's a chicken I mean we ain't got
no Chef Boyardee nine flavors
rainbow got a crap
If you want to get fancy,
You can use that FRM formula over there
and cost twice as much
They don't make a
squat shit a bit of difference
Anything else I might need for him?
- Vitamins? Shots? Medicines?
- It's a ch-
Chicken, yeah. Got it
Hello. Special delivery from
Miss Ida Pinkerton
- Here's a script
- Thank you
Love that dress would look better on me
- You sign that contract yet?
- It's eight-two pages long
There can't be anything good
to say in that many pages
Then get an agent like a
good little actress and
- have them look it over
- And have them take a percentage?
- No
- Summer, I can't even with you
Either sign the thing or
pay someone to review it
Hell, get a lawyer
- Pay him an hourly review
- My ex is a lawyer
- Do you trust him?
- I hate him but,
- yeah, in business, I do
- Great. Give him a call
- I gotta run. Mwah!
- Bye
- Hi, Scott
- Summer, how are you?
Fine, thank you. I have a contract
that I'd like you to look over
- If you good
- Okay, yeah. I can do that just,
uh, send it on over to
Shelley, my assistant
And she'll make sure I get that today
I know who Shelley is
She was one of our bridesmaid
Of course you do
Something I'm used to saying
It's a talent contract for the new movie
they want me to be in
- Really?
- Cole wants me for the lead
- Cole?
- I've got to run, Scott and uh, I'll send it to Shelley
There's have been a lot of curiosity
about you in town. You work in the movie
That's just distracting facts from their
original business toward me
Well, I was thinking that
you want to leave
And that's why you wanted the job
For the money and a fresh start
Oh no, don't you worry about me
I mean,
that is what you do or not
Yeah, right? This little-
you feeling guilty?
Quincy was a great place for you
to grow up, Summer
But you're a woman now
And you you need to find your own place
in the world
I know that and I wouldn't be
a good mama if I tried to hold you back
- Where will you go?
- I don't know,
but I know I want to be
somewhere different
I want to be someone different
Someone without a path
Someone without scorn
I want where I want to be is
someone with a future
Will you come with me?
No
No sweetie. I won't. But you
will always have a home
Right here, with me
So let that give
you the confidence to go right out there
and take some risks
You deserve that, Summer
Deserve that
[Music]
[Music]
Can you believe they
cast Summer as the
- leading lady?
- And she had the nerve to
call Scott and ask for his help
Hasn't she done enough to that poor boy?
Maggie! Hi
How's that husband of yours?
He's got one foot on a banana peel and
the other on the grave, honey
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
- Nice truck
- Brand new. Bought all by myself
without my assistance help
because he's in the Hospital
Did you put him there?
What did you want?
I'm trying to call you for
the past three hours
You're not picking up
your cell phone
I don't have a cell phone
No, you've been calling the
house phone. I've been
- out here working
- You don't have a cell phone
- Nope
- You need to get a cell phone
At least for the next
couple of months until
the movie wraps then you're welcome to
go back to your life of reclusion,
if you like
- Why were you calling me?
- You got media training tomorrow
Are you building this fence?
- Mm-hmm
- Isn't there someone more-
Don't you dare says-
I'm more qualified
- I'll help
- Hey, City Boy. You stay in the truck
We don't want you getting dirty
I know how to fix the fence, Country
You called me City Boy. Stay
Cocky. Just set him down on
the tailgate and roam around
- You brought the chicken - I'd figure you want to see him 73100:52:35,380
- -> 00:53:08,009-And you called him Cocky - He seems to like it
- Where did you ever build a fence before?
- Didn't you ever seen the Legends of Montana?
Nope - Spent six months
on the ranch Bought the
damn thing afterwards
So yeah, I know
how to fix a fence
Thank you for your help
Got a lot of chores
to do before the movie starts
Yeah
See you around
See you at the media training
I'm Brecken Nichols,
media consultant in charge of PR
for the fortune bottle
You will be required
to help promote the movie so we need
to make sure that you handle
yourself with confidence and
professionalism
We're going to review
posture, smiling for
the camera, jargons
and abstractions
Set up straight. Okay
Hold yourself with poise
It just-
[Music]
Relax. You, literally,
look like you have a
stick up your ass
Glad I'm not the only one she hates
Grab some lunch
I'll work with her for a bit
You know, I don't eat
Neither should you
- by the way
- Who is she?
I'm going to turn of the camera
- How many you guys have worked on so far?
- Uh, something about jargon and
abstractions
As you can see it's gone
- real well
- You don't have to worry about jargon
You're Southern, that's okay
Okay
We don't need you to change that
Ordinance,
though, might be a problem for you
Rambling
Don't ramble. Abstractions
The verbal fillers,
that 'you knows', the 'uhhs'-
I know, I know
The fidgeting, blinking,
Summer, look at me
Forget the rules
Just ask me a question
- What kind of question?
- Any kind of question
Are you in pain?
You don't seem upset about her leaving
Don't ramble
Be concise and don't look away
That indicates shame
Nadia and I were together for a long time
Whenever you lose someone after a
long time, it hurts
But I think it's for the best
She's happier in her new relationship
And that's what I want
For her to be happy
That's what I would say if a reporter
asked It would put me on the
high road and subtly turned
everyone against her
Is it the truth?
No. Feel very odd about Nadia
I feel stupid
I feel off balance
I feel taken advantage of
I like that answer better
So would the press
The truth is always more
interesting but it's also
much more dangerous
Do you feel closer to me now?
- Having heard that?
- Yeah
If the public knows you, Summer
They will destroy you
I can't help themselves
They love our weaknesses
so much, that they dig deeper,
they feast
and pillage on our exposures until we
ask people-you as Summer,
me as Cole-are gone
And all there's left is what they want
- to see. Any other questions?
- What?
- Ask it
- Were you telling the truth when you said,
I was a bad kisser?
- No. -No
- Be concise. Don't ramble
I suppose being evasive is one of the
- rules also, right?
- Yeah, actually it is
- Anytime you can be evasive, you should
- Wait!
Thank you. It's been a while I needed to hear
that - It's been a while since you were kissed?
Don and I are meeting at my place
tomorrow morning
early to go over the script
You should be there
- Sure. What time?
- But I'm 8 a.m. Don't be late
Okay. We're ready to get back at it
- Yeah
- Sit. Not like you're milking a cow
- Where's summer?
- I don't know. Her line's been busy
Busy. Is everything okay
- Yeah
- I'll go get her
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
Summer
I pass your door. It's unlocked
Your phone's been busy
[Music]
For the love of God, Summer
If you want me to stop,
you'd better tell me right now
[moaned]
Yeah
[moaned]
[Music]
[Music]
Wake up, Summer
[Music]
[Music]
- That's a mistake
- That was not a mistake
It was. Stupid!
Is this something that you do?
You'd go psycho after you fuck someone
I don't fuck people and I'm not a psycho
I just don't want to
- cuddle with my co-star
- Co-star?
- Pretty high on yourself, aren't you?
- Oh, you really are
an asshole
Summer, am I missing something?
- Did I do something to piss you off?
- Yeah, you're married
My wife fucked half of Hollywood while
- we were married
- Oh, that's what marriage is to you too
She cheats so you cheat?
Everyone goes away
happy and even?
I never from the day
I met Nadia, kissed
another woman,
slept with another woman
Not until she served me divorced papers
Now there's a long list of my name on
top of her
Please leave, Cole
[Music]
- God sent his Son so we might-
- What? Now? I'm sorry
Sunday. Only Yankees
would think that
would be an appropriate time to thrust
themselves into our lives
[Music]
- Come on
- Summer, I imagine you're ready
for your big day tomorrow
- Don't you mind them, honey
- I don't. I just don't
feel great
You're probably going to help me anyway
- I'm an idiot
- You're not an idiot
- No, I'm an idiot
- You're not gonna get pregnant, are you?
Because that would make you an idiot
- No. I have a morning-after pill
- You bagged a movie star. You should be
bragging on Twitter and
throwing a fucking party
- Seriously, Ben. How much if I did mess this up?
- By screwing your co-star?
Honey, you wouldn't be Hollywood if you
didn't bang a co-star at some point
It's nothing
Don't let it affect your performance?
- I won't
- It's a good thing
my character hates it and we started
filming more now
I just want to get this movie
out the way and leave town
Forget my past and forget Cole
Masten
- When do you leave?
- A few days. No more beer
Now let's bring you into the 21st century
and get you a cell phone
Cocky tried to crow this morning
I was in the kitchen when
I heard him in the yard
First, I thought it was hurt
I know I've heard it when they learn it
- Takes him a while to figure it out
- Yeah
It was pathetic
- I was embarrassed for him
- Oh, he'll learn
And when he does, he'll do it
all hours of the day
Not just at dawn like in the movies
Gotta love Hollywood, right?
Do you need something?
- Are we good?
- Stay out of my way and we'll be just fine
- I don't chase, Summer
- This is not a game!
I'm not saying one thing
and meaning another
- Leave me alone
- I was wrong about you
You're a terrible actress
It's my money, and I think
I know how I want to spend it
Honey, you don't want
to invest in refreshments
Let the boys
downtown give you a
Certificate of Deposit
for that money
Or bonds. Bonds are a
great safe place for
your little inheritance to sit
Don't talk down to me
If I wanted to let my money
and smoke it like your cheap cigars,
I'll do so. I believe in this product,
just as much as you and all the other
investors. I want in
Thank you, Mr. Mitchell
Some of the investors aren't wild about
having a woman on board, Miss Pinkerton
And what would your
opinion be on the matter?
I love women. Then again,
you already knew that,
- didn't you, Ms. Pinkerton?
- I have no idea
what you're talking about, Mr. Mitchell
- Don't touch me!
- I'm sorry, Country. I thought you liked it
when I touched you
- CUT! What the fuck was that?
- Ask your golden boy here
He put condoms in my suitcase
Is that too racy for you Southern belles?
Relax, Summer. It's a prank
Stop it, you two!
I did not sign on to referee
Let's wrap for today
- It's fine. It's funny
- Look at her
- So did we get it?
- I think so, despite your best efforts
She needed her feathers ruffled a little
She's getting too tense
It's my money and I think I know
how I want to spend it - Honey,
you don't want to invest in refreshments
Let the boys
downtown give you a Certificate
of Deposit for that money
Or bonds. Bonds are a great, a safe
place for your little inheritance to sit
Don't talk down to me. If I
wanted to light my money and smoke it
like your cheap cigars, I'll do so
But I believe
in this product just as much as you
or any of the other investors
And I want in
- Thank you, Mr. Mitchell
- It's good. Beauty changes when she's mad
Another reason to push her buttons
- Do want to show him the other cut?
- Yeah, roll it
- What? What cut?
- I have no idea what
you're talking about, Mr. Mitchell
[Music]
- So?
- What's the purpose of that cut?
It's hot
I mean, I've got a hard-on just from
watching it. Look, Mr. Masten,
The other stuff is good but
this stuff has emotion
It's got heat
You two look like you're
moments away from banging right there on
the desk
He's right. I hate like hell to say it,
- but he's right
- We can't use this. It's too-
Real? Ida and Royce hate each other
That?s
already in there
But if we can use that
hatred to make sexual tension, it'll
bring up a whole other
element into the film
And it would bring in the female viewers
who, right now, we have no draw on,
other than your pretty mug
- She would never go for it
- Since when does that matter?
She doesn't have script approval
Okay, let's do it
[Music]
- Hi, Gus
- Hey, Summer
- Is that Cocky?
- Friendly thing. You know, I heard Cole Masten keeps him in the house
Yeah?
- Where'd you hear that?
- Around. Drove him here
this morning in his truck
Good morning. I've put the
- Sides and updated Call sheet in here
- Great
Thank you
There is a new scene so you want to
- review it before your call time
- Okay
There's a kiss
There is no love story
between Ida and Royce
I have read the book
- Three times
- I saw that in the damn book
It's the movie. Writers are adding
the excitement. If you're
in the business, you know
- It's normal
- You know I've read the script
Ida and Royce hate each
Why would Royce suddenly
pushes Ida against the file cabinet
and kisses her passionately
It is stupid
The passion from their hatred will make
- it hotter
- No, it doesn't make it hotter
It makes it stupid
I swear if he kisses me
- I'll be losing
- Yes you will. You'll
- fall apart under my mouth, baby
- Please
Don't flatter yourself
I don't even like you
Stupid side!
Well, that went well - What did you expect?
We threw this on her without warning
I told you. We should meet with
her this morning go over
the changes to prepare her
But no,
you wanted to dump it on her via call
- sheets and sides
- Dump it on her. I was one of the
hottest man alive last year
It's not like she has to
mentally adjust to a war camp
How hard can it be to kiss me?
It's actually three kisses and a grope
- I'll go talk to her
- No! With my luck,
you two would make up and any
authenticity to the scene
will disappear
Just stay away from her
Cole! Cole!
[Music]
- I want blue
- Red is punchy
Red looks iconic. Red is patriotic
[Music]
[Music]
All right, yes! Come on
Come on, people. Time is money
- Yeah?
- I need in California tomorrow morning. You've been
summoned It's an initial play
mediation. I've arranged
it with your director
Shoot your scene then get you ass
- to LA
- Good
- This is stupid
- What's the problem, Summer?
Royce gives Ida a car,
and in return, she kisses him
It's a peace offering
I would never accept a car
She certainly
wouldn't be jumping up and down doing
this whole pathetic routine,
you guys,
- have all these screwed
- It's not
pathetic
It's how women in the forties acted
You have to realize she's a divorced woman
looking for a man
Royce is giving her a
very generous gift,
and when she hugs him
in gratitude,
he goes in for the kiss
- It's logical
- It is logical if she's a woman
sits at home all day knitting
It is not
logical for Ida Pinkerton,
one of the
- Original 67. Am I the only one that read the book?
- Script aren't the book. It's an adaptation
Summer, I gotta get on a plan in two hours
Please, don't fight me on this
- You're leaving?
- Yeah, I gotta go home, rather, Los
Angeles for the night
My home is under
- the control of my ex
- Are you gonna stay?
That came out wrong
- Nevermind
- I'm at the hotel. I'm meeting with
the lawyers tomorrow about the divorce
Can we just please,
say our lines and get this baby
- wrapped up?
- But it's not real
I don't want to do this
This is not a character
Then ad lib it
Just like you did in the office
But in return I need a kiss
- Yes
- Yes, I know,
painful. Trust me, Country
I'm not looking
- forward anymore than you are
- Liar
Yes, baby. And so are you
- Let's roll
- Lock it down
Do you mind watching Cocky
for me while I'm gone?
- Of cource
- Just don't want him to be alone
I could take him over to my place
- Or I'm cooking over yours
- Yeah, if you don't mind
That's better for Cocky
[Music]
And, action!
Well, Miss Pinkerton,
what do you think?
Very impressive
Do you decorate all your new cars,
Mr. Mitchell
- It's for you
- Me?
- Yes. It's red
- I'm a woman, Mr. Mitchell
- Not colourblind
- You are also not very
appreciative. It's soda
bottle beer. I had
a dealership mix the colour just for you
How very generous of you
Where's my car?
- This is your new car
- I'm not deaf, colourblind,
or stupid
I can see that the car is red
However, you are of some misunderstanding
that I would be happy to accept this
from you
Well, indeed. That is my
misunderstanding, Miss Pinkerton
But I'm glad
that for once today we are on the
same page
- Where's my car? The black Ford
- Well, I'm not
- entirely sure
- Could you focus at the matter
- at hand
- Get it back
- You don't want it back
- You don't know what I want
I know you want this
[Music]
I mean what I said,
- Mr. Mitchell
- About what?
- I don't want it
- And us?
I don't want the car and I'd
appreciated it if you got mine back
Understood, Miss Pinkerton
Enjoy your long walk home
And cut!
Great job. Go catch your plane
[Music]
Hey, it's Cole
Just wanna check and see if
- your new cell phone's working
- It's working
Summer?
- Mm-hmm?
- Did you just fall asleep?
- Uh-huh
- Do you know how many girls would kill
for me to call them? Studios run
giveaways and shit like this all the time,
- and million's girls would sign up
- Girls. Not women
You know I used to want a belly button ring
I am NOT a belly button ring
Where are you right now?
- Which room?
- Yours. I hope that's okay
What are you wearing?
- Cole Masten, I am not doing this with you
- I am asking purely out of
concern for cocky
He's never seen a
naked woman before. I worry about his
poultry hormones - Poultry hormones
Cocky's just fine I'm not naked
I'm wearing an underwear
- And a tank top?
- No
I was hot and I'm going to sleep
- No, you shouldn't
- Uh, this is wrong
Summer, I am a rock
hard and all I can think
about is you in my bed. Please, don't
torture me by hanging up the phone
- You're thinking of me?
- I've been thinking about you all day
I wish you're here so you can reach over and feel me right
now - I've never done this before and I don't know what to say
You don't have to say anything just touch
yourself. Have you ever touched yourself before?
Oh, yes. I've been single for 3 years
I can cum myself to orgasm pretty quickly
I want to be with you so bad
I wish it didn't end so quickly
I've thought about it all the time
- You have?
- Yeah
Tomorrow night, stay at my house The minute I get off that plane, I'll
drive there, and I will pin you down on my bed and I'll worship you
And I won't let you up until my mouth imprinted on
your mind and your taste is my middle fucking name
- It's for the movie
- No. This is different
I've known you for 13 years
- And how serious are you about her?
- Serious? She's my co-star
Please. Nadia's team
breathing down my neck, and that
Rottweiler of an attorney you tied me to
threatening my nuts in a jar if I so
much as unzip my pants
What is this?
Some sort of rebound or-
- I wouldn't do that to her
- To Summer?
Fuck me. Are you in love?
The mediation is starting soon
We should go
Well, who let you in? This is
- supposed to be a private cafe
- Get the fuck out of here
And let me talk to my client alone
Let's just go outside and make sure no one
- gets in here
- Okay
I really don't want to listen
to one of your lectures today
Mm-mhmm
Was your assistant correct?
I mean if it
is something else and just let me know
We can attack it from a different side
What are you talking about?
Walk
I've been told to stay away
from someone before
Made me chase her down like she
was some kind of wounded gazelle
- She ended up being my soulmate
- So now you're saying
- that I can date her?
- I'm saying that I need
to know what's going on so I can control
the media
More importantly, the judge
and Nadia's take on it
I can't do my job
- if you're keeping things from me
- Honestly,
I don't know what's
going on with this girl?
That's the truth
Cole will get the boat, plane,
the Montana ranch
in the Fortune Bottle
Nadia will get the California
and Hawaii real estate
All bank accounts
will go to their respective owners with
joint accounts split evenly
Nadia do you agree
with the basics of this agreement?
I suppose so, yes
Cole, do you agree with the
- basics of this agreement?
- I do
Now, if you'll excuse me
I have to get back to set
Shooting a movie with a no-name and nobody
I guess I did hurt you more than imagined
Best of luck to you, Nadia
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
I can't do this
[Music]
Summer! Summer!
Miss Pinkerton, it seems to me that
you have a bit of an attitude problem
Coming to my office telling me
how to run my business isn't quite how
we do business here at Quincy, is it?
I must tell you after every time you've
been in here, I've felt, oh-this is
bullshit!
Learn your marks and stay on them
You've changed your marks five
times in the past two hours. If you make
up your mind. It won't be a problem
You touch me again,
I'll put you in your mark
- and hold you there
- Cut! Okay, Summer,
Cole, Let's, uh, let's take five
Brecken, not now
We're filming. Press issues can wait
- No. No. This cannot wait
- What's the problem?
It's not with you. It was Summer
How did I not know this?
How did we not know this?
We didn't think we needed to do a full
workup on her. I mean, look at her
We ran background criminal, porn searches-
did the blood work. Everything came back
- clean
- It wasn't a big deal. It was a long
- time ago
- So this is something you
- already know about?
- My Rehearsal Dinner?
No. The Rehearsal Dinner from Hell!
- Why didn't you tell us about this?
- Clear the room
I need to speak to Summer alone
You should have told us
We can control
something that we know about
This, we can't
control. Right now,
every tabloid in America
has somebody getting it on a plane
to Quincy
When they get here, they're
gonna find every single friend of yours,
and every Chatty Cathy and talk to them
- I don't care
- You will care. You may not care
right at this very second but trust me
- you will care
- I have been an outcast in this
town for three years
You think I care
about what some soccer
mom in Nebraska thinks
- of me
- It's not just soccer moms
in Nebraska
It's everyone in the industry
You know what I think,
this industry is bullshit
It's the one-off thing for me
After this, I'm leaving
You get a lead role in a feature film,
and you're just gonna disappear?
Yeah
You're not like any other
woman I have ever met
Thank you
Whether you value your reputation or not
you need to talk to Brecken
Let her do her thing
You may have to go on a couple of talk show
Just tell your side of story
No. I don't want to talk about it
You don't want to talk about it on camera
or you don't want to talk to me?
How do you care?
I need to know if I should have
ambulances on speed dial for my crew
I'll be worried about the crew
I'd be more worried about yourself,
Mr. Masten
Don't do that
Don't call me that. Not here
Then where, Mr. Masten?
I'm not playing this game with you
I showed up for the house last night
with an erection the size of Texas
- And you weren't there
- I'm here right now
Not here
I did a half-ass job with you
the last time
I'm not gonna make that mistake again
And I do care, Summer. Just stop
pushing me away
You could use a friend right now
A friend?
Will you stop hating me for
just 10 minutes and let me-
I don't hate you
You liked me?
It terrifies me
Perhaps, you and I more
similar than I thought
We both react, rather, passionately to
betrayal
I did try to kill a man with a
- porcelain elephant
- [Chuckles]
Tell me what happened
It's crazy. What I did that night?
[Music]
Three days before my wedding, I found out
my fianc?e was sleeping with
my maid of honour
Turns out I was just about the
last person in town to find out
Should have called off the wedding
But I didn't
If a kid, or stupid adult or an animal
eats something that they shouldn't,
they feed them Ipecac
Oh, it caused a violent vomiting
spell that got out all the nasty
So it was very easy to set up
The restaurant was serving cr?me brulee
for dessert, topped
with a medley of berries
I like to say I hesitated
but that'd be a lie
Two days of pent up anger, 126501:40:23,
...> 01:40:25,499 an hour of polite dinner
conversation with false friends
It all pushed me to my actions
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
It was evil what I did
In front of everyone
Especially Quincy where appearances matter
The town never forgave me
That was my last moment of glory
and the Quincy sun
You don't need them
I know I don't
And that is why I'm taking
my money starting a new life
That's why you asked about
the money right away
Get out of here
One of the most appealing things
about you, Country
Means your freedom
I was infuriating as it has been
You always say and act I feel
I want to propose something
It's Friday night,
We don't have to work tomorrow
Spend the night with me and for the next
24 hours,
no fighting. Just us together
Okay
Cole! Summer! We need to deal with it!
Tonight. My place. I'll handle this
You came
Yeah
I brought condoms
I have condoms. Thank you
Where is your bag?
I didn't bring mine. I thought-
You're staying the night
Are you hungry?
I grilled up some steaks
- Steaks?
- We don't have to-
No. No, steaks are great
Yeah. I can make some sides
Do you like okra?
Never had okra
Oh, you're in for a treat. City boy
[Music]
She definitely seems to recognize
me when I take her treat
When I ask the feed store about the treats,
I got laughed out of there
You just leave these
Girls come on Monday
Monday? It is Friday
I'm not leaving a sink full of dirty dishes
Let's just clear the food off and
set the plates down on the counter
[Music]
Focus
How do you think this
thing's going between us?
Cole
Come here
[Music]
I've been dreaming of this
moment for two months
Summer. Summer
I want dessert, City boy
And you for dessert
I want something sweet
You taste sweet
I want chocolate and whipped cream
[Laughter]
I think Cocky wants to go out
Chocolate?
You're incredible, Summer
Scott just got scared of your beauty
Your strength
And that incredible fucking mouth of yours
I think he felt insecure so he choses
a woman that he felt superior to
I just won't ever cheated on you
Cole, I see you
My God, you put up a lot of layers
of assholes just to keep people out
But I see the real you
It's not an asshole. It's me
No, this. This is you
Perfect
I love this you
And I love your asshole self too
I think I'm addicted
I haven't been able to stop thinking about
your system the moment you open your door
I've been thinking about this
These
But most of all I'm addicted to you
And I can't stop
I don't think I can ever stop
Ready for Brecken's lesson to use?
No
First rule of Hollywood, babe
The gods don't ask permission
Be yourself and don't forget to smile
[Music]
I'm assuming, since you've
squatted yourself
on this personal property,
that you know
this beautiful woman beside me
But what you don't know is that she's mine
And if you fuck with her you fuck with me
And if I'm ever so lucky, ask
her to marry me, everyone here is invited
We'll be serving cr?me brulee
so make sure you eat up
A joke, babe
Except for the marriage part
because I love you
Well, look at all these visitors
Y'all hungry for some tea and biscuits?
Cuz Imma bring some out lickety-split
And you're in this huge movie now
You're just-
Everything seems so-Good luck
I'll see you at the Oscar
this year For sure - Thank you
Thank you so much. I love you
It's Hollywood
They're great. They're great
Did you hear The Fortune Bottle is up
for several awards including Best Picture?
Summer made that movie what it is
- Mm-hmm
- Oh I ran into Shelly and she said
she think Scott and Bobbie Jo are
getting a divorce
I wouldn't be surprised if he
cheated on her just like he did to our
poor Summer
[Music]
