Maps to the Stars (2014) - full transcript

The Weiss family is the archetypical Hollywood dynasty: father Stafford is an analyst and coach, who has made a fortune with his self-help manuals; mother Cristina mostly looks after the career of their son Benjie, 13, a child star. One of Stafford's clients, Havana, is an actress who dreams of shooting a remake of the movie that made her mother, Clarice, a star in the 60s. Clarice is dead now and visions of her come to haunt Havana at night... Adding to the toxic mix, Benjie has just come off a rehab program he joined when he was 9 and his sister, Agatha, has recently been released from a sanatorium where she was treated for criminal pyromania and befriended a limo driver Jerome who is also an aspiring actor.

Woman: Kenny, Lisa,

please come to the amtrak
information window.

Your car is waiting.

I'm Agatha weiss.
I asked for a limousine.

A stretch? Mmm.

Yeah, there weren't
any available.

Hmm. Can you find this place?

Yeah.

Uh, cash call.

I'm going to have to
collect up front.

It's 45 an hour.
Two hour minimum.



Here's 200, okay?

Can we get the star home map?

Kind of a waste.

Unless you want to see where
Ryan seacrest used to live.

Where'd you come in from?

Jupiter. Florida.

What's happening in la?

Visiting family.

Do you drive
a lot of celebrities?

That was probably
the heaviest for me.

Um, I drove Tatum O'Neal
when she had a reality show.

Um, Chuck lorre,

uh, created two and a half men.

Get a lot of producers,
directors.



Uh, Juliette Lewis.

She's a scientologist.

I was thinking about converting,

just as a career move.

You're an actor?

Uh... actor, writer.

I know Carrie Fisher.

Oh, really? How's that?

I met her on Twitter.

Yeah, we became, like,
really good friends.

I'm helping her with
a new novel she's writing.

But it might be something she
winds up doing as an hbo show.

What's this place?

I thought it might
be on the star map.

There used to be
a big house here.

Childhood home of benjie weiss.

How do you know that?

I used to babysit for him.

I was the original
bad babysitter.

That's weird.

My agent's trying to get me

an audition for babysitter 2.

I mean, it's a long
shot but, uh...

Jakob leitner got it to me.

He's a personal manager.

He's a real heavyweight.

We went to Beverly together.

Got my fingers crossed.

Hi, there.

I didn't think you'd come.

Why is that?

You're so busy.

Not for you.

Hmm.

L, um...

I... i'liked bad babysitter.
You were so funny.

Yeah. Uh, we did
780 million worldwide.

People don't realize that.

Don't you have an iPad?

No.

Arnold, can we get
her an iPad? A mini?

We'll load it up.
Watch shit in 3D.

We got great satin crew jackets,

"I was a bad babysitter"
written in gold on the back.

Get your swag on.

So...

How'd you get aids, cammy?

Um, I don't have aids.

It's non-hodgkin's lymphoma.

You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna make a movie
of your life. All right?

Ryan gosling will play me,
and I'll play you.

Be my date at the oscars?

Non-hodgkins?

Sorry about that.

What the fuck's non-hodgkin's?

I think it's a blood thing.

I mean "non,"
it eitheris oritisn't.

Were you serious in there?

Because we can definitely
get this to Ryan.

It's just the kind of stuff he likes
to do... "We can get it to Ryan"?

Yeah.

You can barely get
toilet paper to your ass.

It would make for an uplifting
drama, wouldn't it?

I mean, I've even got a
title, it's a horrible life.

If you're not serious, benjie,

it's better not to promise.

Ha! Arnold "kubler-Ross"
has spoken.

Great rabbi of death and dying.

Man of wisdom.

Zen fucking Archer.

I've got a new nickname for you,

museum of tolerance.

Drop it, benjie.

Drop it?

I have a better idea.

Why don't you show me your cunt?

Huh? I know you have one.

Jew faggot.

What are they offering?
Five million.

Ten points from cash break.

What's genie asking?

Eight. Twenty from dollar one.

What do you think?

I think we have their balls.

Cool.
So, um, when's the audition?

It's not an audition,
benjie. I told you that.

Right. Sorry.
When's the urine test?

The meeting is on
Friday at 10:00.

The studio just wants to see that
you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

But the deal is
contingent on the meet?

They just wanna
protect the franchise.

I am the franchise.

Go0-goo ga-joob.
Go00-goo ga-joob.

Cristina: Stafford,
are you going to eat?

I was listening to
a very interesting tape

of the Dalai Lama
on the way home.

Say what you like about
politics, the man is a pro.

Free Tibet! Tibet is not free.

Tibet is very expensive.

I have the receipt
from Amazon to prove it.

Anyhow, Buddhists say
a prayer at mealtime...

Is genie going to be there?

Cristina:
She thinks it's better not.

Benjie: I want her there.

"Pray that those that eat,

"the things that are eaten
and the actual eating

"be universally devoid of self."

Don't you love it?

I'm going to my room.

Go0-goo ga-joob.

Stafford: Don't, mama.

Don't, mama.

Don't hurt me like that...

Don't hurt me like that.

Don't come into
my room at night...

Don't...

Don't come into my room...

When I'm sleeping...

Don't come into my room
when I'm sleeping.

I won't let you anymore...
I won't let you anymore.

You mother-fucker...

You mother-fucker!

You, you hurt me.

How? How did I hurt you?

I... I was your little girl.

I was your little girl
and, and you hurt me.

Why did you do it, mama?

Because your parents hurt you?

That's not good enough!

Come on, Havana, stop forgiving.

I don't... I don't
care what they did to you.

L, I wish they'd killed you.

I'd... I'd kill you
myself, mama.

How, how could you
do that to a child?

How could you do
what you did to me?

I wanna be free, Clarice.

I wanna be free.

Clarice, mama, set me free.

Mama, mama, set me free.

I will be free.

I will take back
the years you stole.

Please. Please.
Please. Please...

I'm gonna press on
a personal history point.

Everything's
stored in the thighs.

Okay.

Okay...

Take back the years, Havana.

Take back the years she stole
from that little girl.

Young intern:
Rebecca, we need to stop.

You're a patient here.

I want to help you,
not make things...

Rebecca: You don't think
I set those fires, do you?

Young intern: / think
that you didn't mean to.

You need help, that's all.

Don't you want to help me?

Not like this...

I think that we need to think
about what we're doing.

"On all the flesh that says yes,

"on the forehead
of all my friends,

"on every hand held out,

"I write your name."

Ms. Havana... it's Ms. genie.

An!

How are you doing, baby?

Oh, I'm okay.

I had a really heavy
session with Stafford.

Oh...

That is so brave, what you do.

It doesn't feel brave.

I need a new chore-whore.

What do you mean?
What happened to adagio?

Uh, I had to fire her.
You're kidding.

What happened?

She was stealing. Adagio?

Oh, god. I don't believe it.
Yeah, yeah.

She took some money and a
ring I got last year in Paris

and some Vicodin.

Oh, my god. What?
And you caught her?

Mmm-hmm.

So, what,
did you call the police?

Yeah, I told her I would
if she didn't go to rehab.

Oh, I see,
so she's there now, huh?

Yeah, with all the other
dope-fiend personal assistants.

They have their own wing.

Okay, well,
I'll call Carrie again.

No. Love her, love Carrie,

but don't bother
her with this shit.

Oh, she'll think it's hilarious.

I'm meeting her
later at the jj thing.

She'll give me some names.

So, um...

What's going on
with stolen waters?

Well, I called vita.
But, you know,

they're all at Sundance.

Yeah! Everyone but me.

I gave the best
reading of my life, genie.

I went in there and
I blew everyone away.

I know. I know.

I mean, you know, the only
thing I can think of

is that, uh, maybe
they have some concerns

about the perception
of stunt casting.

Everything is stunt casting.

Havana, this is a movie,
and not a great one,

that your mother
made 30 years ago.

No. No, but it could be.
It could be great.

It's a... it's a re-imagining.

It's a fucking art film. I mean,

who do you think came up
with the idea of my mother

looking back on the making of

stolen waters if she had lived?

I did. I did.
I mentioned it to Damien

four years ago on mustique.

I know, I know...
They should give me the part,

and, and a producer's
credit, too.

I mean, this role was made
for best supporting.

It's, it's, it's a fucking
second chance.

And it's, it's Damien javitz.

He totally resurrects actors.

And I went in
there and I killed it.

Is sterl still doing it?

I introduced him to Harvey.

And, you know,
Harvey's producing.

And I mean,
I already talked to Harvey

and he's gonna talk to Damien.

But, you know, Harvey's Harvey,

but sterl can talk to Damien.

You know, we are
doing everything we can.

But, you know, at the end
of the day, it's an art film.

I mean, it would be
great if you got the job.

But, in case you're not aware,

your mother is
a dead cult figure.

And Damien javitz
ain't pt Anderson.

I mean, there's so
many movies out there!

Yeah? Where?
Yeah, big deal movies!

Where? Where? Where, genie?

Do you know what Jakob
said to me the other day?

He said that because
I know so many celebrities

I should consider
becoming a manager.

Do you know...

Do you know how it felt
for me to hear that?

Look, everything I am doing,

everything in my life
and in my therapy

is to get this part.

Oh! Ow!

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Ow, cramps.

Are you okay? No, I'm not okay.

Mother-daughter
incest is so '80s overkill.

Anne sexton, I am not.

Oh, my god, oh, my god.

The shock will wear off.

What's the matter, Havana?

Did you think it would be
like the sixth sense,

with the dead
clamoring to be heard?

Do you know what
the dead clamor for?

You know what hell is?
A world without narcotics.

What's happening,
what's happening?

The worst pornographic
cliché, vana,

this childhood rape
fantasy. Get a life.

Or maybe you should get a death.

Isn't it pathetic enough
that you want to play me?

You hate me.

But yet you're
desperate to be me?

You want that role but
you're not gonna get it.

You don't even have the chops.

I did. And I was young
and gorgeous.

You? With your shitty tits
and that used up old hole?

It stinks worse than me!

Who is it?

It's non-hodgkin's.

What are you doing here?

"On my school notebooks,

"on my desk and the trees,

"on the sand and the snow,

"I write your name."

I, I'll make the movie,

if that's why you're here.

I don't know what
Arnold told you.

"On all the flesh that says yes,

"on the forehead of my friends,

"on every hand held out,

"I write your name."

"On my school notebook,

"on my desk and on the trees,

"on the sand and the snow,

"I write your name.

"On all the flesh that says yes,

"on the forehead of my friends,

"on every hand held out,
I write your name.

"Liberty."

So we're back-to-school
with bad babysitters.

Is this detention?

No way.

You're top of the class.

We understand you had
a rocky summer vacation.

A productive one.

It wasn't easy for any of us.
But he's learned a lot.

Absolutely.

Yeah, listen. I went through
that whole drug thing myself.

I mean, not at your age,

mind you, but, uh,
hey, shit happens.

Right? It just, uh, happens
a lot earlier than it used to.

Benjie's done
a lot of growing up.

Yes, he has.

Uh, on the last season of
praise the lourds

I was making $300,000 a week.

I was nine years old.
How psychotic is that?

Crazy money.

For anyone.

But worth every penny.

You've got a tremendous
fan base out there.

I just didn't have the skills.

That kind of income
would fuck up Mother Teresa.

She's already fucked up.
She's dead.

That's how fucked up she is.

We have a mandate,
Cristina knows this.

And I, I know you do, too.

We have to
protect the franchise.

Go0-goo ga-joob.

Hank: We kept
things quiet last year.

Arnold,
your people were terrific.

Nothing from the tabloids.

Yeah, still, you know,
an adult in recovery

can be a career-booster.

A child is something else.

I think we understand that, Jeb.

Though it didn't hurt drew, hmm?

Guys, we're on your side.
Please understand that.

I don't think we'd
all be in this room

if we didn't feel
a certain level of trust.

Do we have a budget yet?

Fifty-eight.
But that's strictly in-house.

Now, we lost Elle, but um,

she's not someone
we were counting on.

We're closing with Emma Watson
for the young mom,

so, uh, that should be fun.

We need to know
the circumstances

of benjie's rehab.

Uh, benjie detoxed
at a private home.

The ranch of my
husband's partner.

Kick-ass mom you got there.

Mmm. She knows how to hit

without leaving
marks on the body.

Shh... oh...

Fuck!

Oh! I will never be humiliated
like, like that again.

Oh... never.

It's over, baby. We have them.

Did Damien say I was too old?

Mmm-mmm.

The casting people?
Sarah horowitz?

Havana, come on.

The part's just written younger.

Sarah horowitz cast me
in my very first movie.

Hmm.

Probably saw that thing
I did on tnt for money.

Yeah, well,
don't do anything for money.

Yeah, well, we all haven't
been as smart as you.

You gonna support
me on this, sterl?

You gonna
support me with Damien?

Look, you know I will.

I think he's taking
a hard look at azita wachtel.

Azita wachtel?

Well, she's nominated for
an Oscar and she's Canadian.

Canada's co-funding.

Do you know what
azita wachtel's story is?

You know what she's known for?

She used to let
producers stick their cocks

in her ass and pee.

Good to know.

Look, you have
a relationship with Damien.

Yeah. I have three calls
into him but he won't return.

You gave a great reading.

He tell you that?

He said you were very strong.

He did? He said that?

Yes.

Oh, my god! Oh, sterl,
I have to get this part.

We'd be so great together.

Well, I thought we already were.

Diandra? Oh, my god, she's old.

Hey, did you know
she's, like, 237

imdb says she's 16.

How do you know she's 237

her labia's pierced.

You got to be 23 to
have your labia pierced?

No, she's got
a tramp stamp, okay?

She's menopausal.

Hey, nice girls, huh?

Oh my god,
Rhett, did you tell him?

Oh, benjie,
you won't believe this.

No, no, no.
It's too fucking weird.

I'm not going to.

Now I'm getting interested.

Okay, so there's
this crazy girl, right?

She posted, like, 6,000 messages

on my Facebook fan page
in, like, two months.

Sounds like marriage material.

You should just fuck her, Rhett.

Or eat her on her period.

Come on. Don't be vulgar.

Yeah, Rhett won't
even do that to me.

Well, he can't
because your menopausal.

Oh! Shut up!

Would you guys chill? Come on.

All right, so production
company looks into it,

finds out
a teamster's been selling

this chick my shit for,
like, $3,000.

Excuse me. Your shit?

Yeah, you heard it right,
girl. My shit.

He's got some expensive doodie.

It's got rice in
it from, uh, nob...

Ew!

But like out of a honey wagon?

No. I mean, when the guy comes in
with the hose to empty, you know...

What is she doing with it?

Stockpiling.

For that rainy day.

Like, where does
she get the money?

Sludge fund.

Oh, benjie, you are so sick!

There are some days,
actually I ran

specials when I had
diarrhea, so it just...

Summer clearance.
Everything must go!

Ew! Oh, my god!

Come...

Who is that?

Starla gent.

Country singer.
She won the voice?

Oh, she's a runner-up.
God, she is a wild woman.

Uh, hell of an actress, as well.

Didn't I tell you?

Javitz cast her in
the part you wanted.

Shut up!

Uh, I wonder if Blake
Shelton peed in that butt.

Hey, you like Sam?

Hmm.

You could totally fuck her.

She wants to be in your movie.

I hear she gives great oxy, too.

I've almost got 90 days.

Till what? Sobriety, dick-wad.

Oh, my god, the human stench!

That fat anchor-whore from
tmz was in the bathroom.

We saw her ankles.
What was her name, again?

Kayla: Oh, it was like
something dead farted.

Hey, isn't that sterl carruth?

Oh, yeah, with Havana segrand.

We have the same agent. Really?

How old is she?

Totally menopausal.

Oh, beyond! She's near death.

She's, like, older than
my grandmother.

No, she is a gmilf,

a grandmother I'd like to fuck.

Are they fucking?

Uh, she'd be like a mercy fuck.

Like when orderlies rape
old people in nursing homes?

Hey, didn't her mom
die in a fire?

Yeah.

Like Jack Cassidy. Who's that?

The prototypical swinger.
David Cassidy's father.

Who's David Cassidy?

Shaun Cassidy's brother.

You know, her mom was a
really cool actress, as well.

Um, Clarice Taggart?

Yeah, a&e did a thing on her.

She was really cool.
She was young.

Oh...

What is that?

Hey, Damien, what's happening?

Yeah, yeah. I could
totally wear two earrings.

Love that.

Um, maestro, I'm just, uh...

I'm just here
with the kids doing

the whole bedtime story thing.

Um, yeah, no, I'll, uh...

Yeah, I'll call you
right back first thing.

Hey! Mention me when you talk.

Sterl:
You are so fucking crazed.

Suck my dick and
I'll put in a word.

I loved you so much.

You were such a beautiful
little girl but you lied.

How could you grow up
to be a monster who lies?

What the fuck?

Sterl: Hey!

What's happening?

I'm sorry, it's...

I just got uncomfortable.

I guess I'm a lousy dyke.

Why don't you take a klonopin?

I know a man

who lives under the sword
of damocles we call aids.

"When my time comes,”
he told me, "I'll be ready.

"My bags are
packed and at the door."

Up.

I like that.
I like that very much.

There is a time in our lives
and in our therapies

when our eyes stray to
the bags at the door.

After we've wept.
After we have suffered.

After we have exhausted
the fountain of memory

and bloodied our hands

on the walls of
our parents' house.

I thought that garry Marshall

was going to be there,
that it was a meet.

I didn't know that I
was going to have to read.

And then they gave
me the wrong drive-on

and I had to walk, like, a mile.

And I stank by
the time I got there.

And then the casting
director, who I know,

doesn't even acknowledge me.

She just walks right by
without saying a word.

And, and then she tells me

that she doesn't
even know if garry knows

that I'm coming in. Now, this is

garry Marshall, not bertolucci.

His movies don't
make money anymore.

And I know garry.

And then she says they
want to put me on tape.

And I'm, like, "excuse me.

"But you need
special make-up for that

"or you'll look green."

Like it's all some
pointless exercise.

And I just can't
take it anymore, Jakob.

I'm so tired and
it's so pathetic.

Is that Carrie?

Later, Jakob. Later.

Hi, Carrie! Oh...

Both: How are you?

Oh, when I get in
touch with myself,

I'll let you know.
It's been insane.

Did you wrap?

Well, we go back to Prague
tomorrow to do re-shoots.

Are you doing the javitz film?

Oh, I hope so.

Did you hear something?

Well, genie told me
you were up for it.

That would be so amazing for
you to play your own mother.

I mean, every daughter

should have that
opportunity, right?

Do you know Damien?

Well, we just had
dinner once in tangiers.

Well, if you see him,
tell him to hire me.

Oh, genie told me about adagio.

Uh! How long did
she work for you?

Three years.

Are you still looking
for a new assistant?

Absolutely. You've become
my employment agency.

Would you do me a big favor?

This is gonna sound bizarre, but

would you interview this girl
that I met on the Internet?

I'm so nervous.

Aw, it's okay.

Would you like some tea?

Oh, thank you. Yes.

Your house is so beautiful.

The walls are so thick,
and those chimes.

Oh, they're from
a monastery in dharamsala.

I met the Dalai Lama.
He's a very cool man.

He laughs a lot.

He's actually just like

someone you'd want to hang with,

you know, but you can't
'cause he's the Dalai Lama.

Thank you for the tea.

Maria's at the hospital,
my housekeeper.

One of her girls is sick.

She's got,
like, you know, 40 kids.

So, I guess you
know why you're here.

Because of Carrie?

How did you guys
start e-mailing?

Well, she wrote on
Twitter that she was

researching for a new
novel she was writing,

about a burned girl.
So, I wrote to her

and then I met
her at a star wars

convention in Florida.

Was that weird for you?
I mean...

She's so amazing. You know,

she's such a funny,
amazing person.

Plus we're both dual disorder

so we finish each
other's sentences.

So, you came out
here to see her?

I just wanted to see Hollywood.

But she did take me to
breakfast at the four seasons.

Zooey deschanel was there.

And Sally draper,
the little girl from mad men.

It was pretty amazing.

Do you have family?

In Florida.
That's where I'm from.

Agatha, um,
can I ask about the burn?

Uh, I was working
at a planetarium after school.

I was 12.
There was an electrical fire

and I ran into
a storeroom, like a jerk.

Hmm. Um, well,

this isn't a very glamorous job.

I'm not used to glamor.

Mmm. You'd be like
mostly running errands,

going shopping and getting
things fixed and...

Ms. segrand,
I would be the most loyal,

most competent, most grateful

personal assistant
you've ever had.

You don't have a car?

But you drive?

I have a valid Florida license.

We can rent you a car.

I think, maybe,
a mustang or something?

Carrie's funny. She
knew I should meet you.

Do you know how my mother died?

No.

In a fire.

Oh...

Agatha...

I think you're beautiful.

And do you know who looks
just like you, inside?

Havana segrand.

You've got a request.

What is it?

Hollywood tour. Cash call.
Holly crest hotel.

"On my school notebook,

"on my desk and on the trees,

"on the sand and in the snow,
I write your name.

"On all the flesh that says yes,

"on the forehead of my friends,

"on every hand held out,
I write your name.

"Liberty."

So, you were in a fire, right?

You know, I never really
figured out what happened.

I think one night I got drunk and
slept really hard on my face.

So, now you hit tinseltown,
what are you gonna do?

Can't, uh, keep riding
around in limos

if you want to keep your money.

Actually, I got a job.

Oh, yeah? Where?

Do you know Havana segrand?

Sure. Know of.

I'm her new personal assistant.

That's the Carrie Fisher
connection?

Actually, it was.
Havana's getting me a car.

Hey, do you wanna have
dinner on the weekend?

Uh... um, yeah, this
weekend's not good for me.

L, I have to...

I have to work on my script.

I have a great idea for a movie.

Maybe we could
write it together.

It's got an incest theme.
I guess

those are kind of overdone, huh?

Sex abuse, the new religion!

The truth is, my parents
were brother and sister.

I never tell anyone that.

But I think it'd be cool.

I mean, it's kind of
"been there, done that."

I know that sounds
jaded but I think

it would make a cool indie.

You know, I wanna act in it.
And you could, too.

Mmm. I think it would be good
if it wasn't pretentious.

You know, if we got the whole
mythological thing going on.

Look, Agatha...

I think you're a little crazy.

Well? So?

I mean, what I'm saying is, um,

I'm kind of, kind of
involved with someone.

And, uh, I mean, uh,

I hope everything
works out for you.

Look, I don't want
to take the money.

Fuck you.

It was like a dream,
but it seemed so fucking real.

Go on.

A girl, I, uh,
met her at the hospital.

We sent her an iPad
but they said she died.

And she came into
my room at the house.

Scared the shit out of me.

Maybe it was a dream.
Am I going crazy?

No. But, I think it's probably

time for you to start
talking about certain things.

My sister? Yes.

She always, uh,
wanted to "marry me."

That's how we played.
We did the ceremony.

Isn't that strange?

Do you think I'm crazy like her?

No.

But if we don't look at things
they can make us crazy.

Mom and dad were at some party.

I was six or seven then.

That night,
the night it happened,

we, uh, had the ceremony,
the marriage thing.

And, uh, she gave me pills.

Vitamins, she said.

And, uh, I woke up
in the hospital.

They pumped my stomach
and the firemen

carried me out of there
and I never saw her again.

Have you asked
your parents about...

They, they don't talk
about her. They won't.

That girl at the hospital...

Harriet, what do I do?

What do I do if she comes back?

You call me.

I'm afraid. Whenever
I see her, it's so real.

I don't want to be hospitalized.

My career is so fucked as it is.

Textbook tss, Havana. You saw
heavy combat as a child.

Could I be a "multiple"?

I don't see that. But if you
are, we'll deal with it.

Damn her! What does she want?

When you came out of hiding
and externalized your shame,

mother didn't like that.

But what we can name,
we can tame.

She wants me to fail.

But I won't. "I won't."

That's little vana.

Celebrate her. The imago-deity,

that's what jung called it. We
call it the "magical child."

And that child will not fail.

Lie down.

I hired a girl. It's amazing.

Why is it amazing?

She's disfigured.
She was burned in a fire...

On her face.

Where is she from?

Florida. It's amazing.

She just showed up
on my doorstep.

I get the sense that I'm working

through something by hiring her.

People don't just enter our
lives randomly, we call them.

Two women linked by fire.

I'll bet those visions go away.

Oh, god, do you think so?

You're welcoming
mom into the house.

You're saying,
"hey, ma, come on in.

"You don't scare me.
I'm empowered.

"Soup's on!
This is my house, ma.

"I built it with
my pain and my hope.

"And you can't hurt me anymore.

"Mi casa es su casa.”

Mmm-hmm.

Deep breath now, Havana.

Breathe...

What if she comes to the house?

She won't.

Then what is she doing here?

Maybe she's sightseeing.

Why are you so
cavalier about this?

We've always handled things
differently, you and I.

You've got to get her fired.

And then what?

If she's working for Havana
we know where she is.

And that buys us time.

What if she
tries to get to benjie?

I'm more concerned
about the tabloids.

I'm about to go on a book
tour, for Christ's sakes.

Benjie:
"On the marbles of nights,

"on the white bread of days,

"on the married seasons,
I write your name.

"On my school books, on my desk,

"on the trees,
on the sand and snow,

"I write your name.

"On all the flesh that says yes,

"on the forehead
of my friends..."

Son?

One second.

Come in.

I saw your light.

I couldn't sleep.

Me neither. Were you reading?

Just boning up on the script.

That's hard to do
without a partner.

Mum usually reads
with me but, uh,

I like to know
the lines pretty well

before we go over them.

That's what makes you a pro.

Listen, there's something
I wanted to talk to you about.

I'm not taking anything.

Not even Seroquel.

I've got a really good sponsor.

He's been clean and
sober for 20 years.

He's worked with
Robert downey Jr.

Demi lovato. No.

It's about your sister.

We think she may be back.

Here in Los Angeles.

Did... did she call?

She hasn't yet.

I thought she was
in prison somewhere.

Hospital.

Far away.

But now she's

free, white, and 18.

The courts couldn't hold her.

We're in
the process of acquiring

a restraining order against her.

And I'd like you
to tell me if she...

A restraining order?

Too bad you couldn't have
gotten one when she was born.

You could've had a judge standing
by in the delivery room.

Maybe you tried that.

We tried a lot
of things, benijie.

Mostly we tried our best.

That's in your book.

That's a big thing in your book.

Trying your best.

It's supposed to give
people major points.

I don't know that
girl anymore, son.

Not that I ever did.

I don't know if she's dangerous.

I knew this day was coming.

I thought somehow
she'd just stay put.

That was stupid of me.

But I want you to tell me
if she tries to see you.

I'll tell you if she pops up.

You know how me
and you like to share.

Get some sleep, son.

"By the power of the word

"I renew my life.

"I was born to know you.

"And to name you Liberty."

Genie: Havana, sweetheart, I...

I don't know if you've read
the trades, but, um...

They announced that
Damien went with azita.

I mean, I can't say it's a
complete surprise, but, uh...

I'm very angry at
the way it was handled.

I mean, it... it just
makes me look foolish.

But that's my problem,
not yours.

I'm so sorry, honey.

Uh, I have calls into Damien.

And I hate to be leaving this
on your phone, I...

[... I just didn't want you
to hear it from someone else.

As you know,
I mean, I strongly think

there's no love
lost on this project.

Those were always my feelings.

I know and I respect the reasons

but I think it's of equal
importance we put this behind us.

So, onward.

I'm messengering six scripts
to the house now!

Lots of great
stuff on the horizon.

Call me as soon as you get this.

I love you.

And it's gonna be a great year!

Made a hole in the wall so we'll
be able to see everything.

Everything?

Or your money back.

Oh, boy! I want to
see her vuh-by-nuh.

Director: And cut!

Mr. vuh-by-nuh's
getting all the laughs.

He's only in four scenes.

Yeah, and he's
stealing every one of them.

Piece of shit.

Would you call genie?

Call genie and tell her I want the
little piece of shit flushed.

And what are you doing here?

Uh, I wanted to talk
to you about something,

not the studio's
drug paranoia again?

No, not the studio
and their drug paranoia.

Assistant director:
Ready for you, benjie!

Fuck off!

I need something to eat.

My blood sugar
drops every time I do

a scene with
Mr. piece of shit vuh-by-nuh.

Oh, ma, can you put one of those

breakfast burritos
in the microwave?

Two minutes is perfect.

Hey.

How you doing?

I'm cool.

Thought you'd be
working on your script.

I wish I was.
Got to pay the bills.

How's show business?

It's all right.

Got a call-back for blue matrix.

You watch it?

Not into space soaps.

Well, it's got a kind of Battlestar
Galactica thing going on.

Post 9/11.

Can't believe I just
spent $18,000. Let's go.

Havana, this is Jerome.

Hi.

Agatha: He's a chauffeur.

Wonderful.

Jerome just got an audition
for Battlestar Galactica.

It's actually, uh, blue matrix.

I'm a big fan.

Aw, thank you.

Well, um, good luck.

Havana!

Oh, my god! Azita!

Thanks.

On.

Mmm, uh, Sydney just
told me you were here.

Uh, I was in the dressing room.

Havana: I was gonna
call you. Congratulations.

Azita: Thank you, thank you.
I'm so excited.

Havana:
You are gonna be so great.

Azita: You think?

And you're gonna love
working with Damien.

Yeah, he's so great. Um...

Mmm.

Havana!

That makes me feel so good.
Your mother was so special.

It's gonna be
a challenge for me.

Do you know who's gonna play
my mother when she was young?

Anne.

Hathaway.

How's that gonna work?

Oh, oh, you'd love Anne. Do you know her?
She... she's amazing.

Aw, just... just make it your own.

You know, for a heartbeat...

I really wanted to do it.
Isn't that insane?

Well, you should have!
Yeah, but then I was like,

"work it out in therapy, bitch!"

Aw! He's so adorable!

Aw. What's your name?

Uh, this is Micah.

Say hi to Havana.

Hi, Micah. You are so sweet!

My shy guy. Aw.

What a heart breaker. Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, great to see you.

Yeah, you, too.

Ciao. Ciao.

Um, back in 10.

Okay. Come on, sweetie.

Thank you, uma.

Can you let yourself out?

I like your new chore-whore.

Awful phrase, isn't it?

You two have alotin common.

Like terrible men for one.

"Hey, ma, I'm empowered.

"Soup's on.

"I'm a magical child,
ma, so come on in.

"Mi casa es su casa.”

What do you want?

This bravado of mine.

It's asinine, and I'm sorry.

It's just I'm nervous around you.

It sounds comical, but I'm not
used to being around people.

I'm not gonna listen to this!

Those incidents you keep
sharing on the talk shows,

they're false memories.

Liar! From day one, liar!

Your stepfather must have
done those things to you.

Why couldn't I see it?

His first wife warned
me that he was like that.

You must have
been so angry at me

for not protecting you.

Stay away from me.
Stay... stay away.

You blame yourself for the
night I burned, don't you?

"This is my house, ma.

"I built it.

"My pain, and my hope.

"And you can't hurt me anymore."

I'm sorry.

I just got uncomfortable.

I guess I'm a lousy dyke.

Hi.

Are you okay?

I have the flu.

I need cigarettes.

American spirit, and, uh,

I need you to pick
up some prescriptions.

Ambien... Vicodin,

Xanax, Zoloft and astragalus,

and goldenseal,

and, um, yogi tea.

Agatha, do you know Stafford
weiss, the therapist?

No.

No. Of course, you don't.
Why should you?

I'm getting information
from a fucking dead person.

Tampax, I need Tampax,

and, um, and...

Kozy shack. You
know what kozy shack is?

It comes in these big tubs,
like, tapioca, rice pudding.

And truffles from
Maison du chocolat.

You can... you can get
those at, um, at neiman's.

And, um, come out to the yard.

Um, I... I need...
I need to move some plants.

They've been like this since the
fucking earthquake, and I just...

I wanna move them over there.

Don't worry about the tiles
'cause they're gonna be redone.

So you can just drag 'em.

They look so heavy.

Don't make me into
mommie dearest, okay?

You're strong, you can do it.
You're already wearing gloves.

Just... just put
your weight into it.

No, swivel it, like this.
Look, here, swivel.

Genie: Hello?

The door was open.

What's happening?

This hasn't hit the news yet.

What?

Azita wachtel's little boy died.

No! I just saw them.

He was with his dad in Ojai,
and he drowned.

My god! Micah! How?

In the pool, I think.

She wasn't there?

I don't know. I mean,
nobody knows yet, anything.

But here's what's going on,
and I know it's ghoulish,

but I think we can
get you to replace.

But how?

Well, azita's in the hospital.

You know, she totally lost it.
They had to sedate her.

Won't they just shoot
around her for a few weeks?

There's no way she's
going back to work.

Well, how much have they shot?

Uh, just a few days.

The casting people
called me three times.

Sarah horowitz?
Did you call back?

Yeah. They wanna make an offer.

Did Damien call?

No, but, you know,
he's probably consumed.

What...

Havana, they're not
gonna make an offer

without Damien's
complete approval.

No, azita should just do it.
She should... she should work.

She should go to the funeral,
and then go right back to work.

Yeah, I know, it's beyond, but
do you still wanna do it?

I need to talk to Damien.

You will. But this
just happened.

I haven't been
able to reach anyone.

Don't come down from my quote.

If they're really in trouble,
we're in the catbird seat.

Unless they're out
to somebody else.

I'll call you soon as I hear.

Should I send flowers?

You're not supposed to know.

And save the flowers for
Damien when we close. Ciao!

Na na na na, na na na na

hey, hey, hey, goodbye!

Come on, sing it!

Na na na na

both: Na na na na

hey, hey, hey, goodbye!

This is for little Micah!
Little miracles!

Who's Micah?

Fire and water.
We're fire and he's water.

Say goodbye. Bye!

Na na na na

goodbye, Micah.

Na na na na

goodbye, Micah!
Fire and water. Say it.

Both: Fire and water!

- Hey, hey, hey, goodbye!
- Hey, hey, hey, goodbye!

Excuse me?

I'm looking for Jerome Fontana.
He had a call-back.

He's a vorbalid?

Try make-up.

Jerome: Hey!

What are you doing here?

Havana's having
lunch at the commissary.

Thought I'd see
if I could find you.

Is it supposed to be a burn?

No, I don't think so. I think
it's a birthmark or something.

We're half an hour away.

Back to make-up and get
some color on that thing.

Damien: They did have
a cover for the pool,

but the motor was in
the shop for repair.

He didn't swim.

Like, the father heard the phone
and he thought it was azita,

so he went inside
for like two seconds...

That's always how it happens.

I mean, uh, that's always
how you hear it happens.

Mmm.

Have you talked to azita?

Uh, yeah. I went to
see her. She's home now.

I told her you
were playing the part.

She was relieved. Mmm.

At least she seemed to be.

I felt weird...

Going there to tell her that.

But we had become close.

Anyway, listen, I... l was...

I was gonna call you to tell
you about my decision to go

with azita,
but things went crazy.

You know, it's cool,
Damien. I'm...

I'm totally fine.

Yeah, I'm not.

I don't like the way
that that was handled.

I loved your read.
You know that.

I had some initial misgivings about
the connection to your mother.

But the film that I'm making is
very different from the original.

And, in fact, in some ways, it
does not resemble it at all,

which I will probably
be taken to task for.

The script is amazing.

Thank you.

You know, I just want you to feel
strong, coming in like this.

Things happen for a reason.
I'm a big believer in that.

So glad to have you on the show.

Benjie? Hey! Victoria lapin, star!
Channel.

Are you ready for us now?

No.

Uh, we had 4:00
interview with you.

No. Didn't genie tell you?

No.

Uh, well, could we
just have 15 minutes?

No.

Okay, we've been
waiting here for you.

Why don't you talk to my
co-star, Jim carrey junior?

There he is. Hey!

Mr. piece of shit vuh-by-nuh,
wanna be on TV?

Sure.

Get your jail-bait
ass over here.

Hi, I'm Roy.

No! No! No! No!

Agatha: Hey, benjie.

Fuck! You! Get out!

Hey, it's okay.
I'm here to make amends.

How'd you get on the lot?

I work for somebody who's doing
a film here. Havana segrand?

Are you gonna hurt me, Agatha?

No. I'm not gonna hurt you.

You're my little brother.

You try and hurt me, I'll
fucking kill you! Understood?

Mmm-hmm.

You hungry?
Want a breakfast burrito?

No, I can't stay long.

Havana segrand, huh?

Was that bullshit
or were you serious?

Mmm-hmm.

Hmm.

She's really good.
We have the same agent.

How'd that happen, you
working for Havana segrand?

Oh, it's through a friend.

Carrie Fisher.

You know, for a disfigured schizophrenic,
you got the town pretty wired.

They know you're here, Agatha.

How?

Dad, he's all fucking seeing and
knowing, if you don't remember?

Watch your step

'cause the old man's getting a
restraining order against you

or some such shit.

I'd prefer if you didn't
tell them I stopped by.

I'm not a big fan of closure, so
if you're looking for an epiphany

that's gonna help you go
on with your life then...

I wrote to you, for years.

To explain.

Jeb: Benjie, it's Jeb berg!

Takin' a nap, Jeb.

There he is.
Hey, that's all right.

Listen, I got my nieces here
from Connecticut and they...

Universal studios. Put their
asses on the tram, jebbo.

You're so mean.

I fuck 'em when I can.
Want a cobalt?

No. Sugar makes me crazy.

Very funny.

So, uh, mum and dad
sent you to the snake pit?

The courts did.

You're lookin' pretty good.

I was in sherman
oaks on the burn ward.

After my grafts,
they sent me to Florida.

Land of scarface.
Tony Montana, I love it.

Did you put that in?

Mmm-hmm. That's Havana's mom.

Did you start the fire?

This is hard.

No shit. Did you?

But I didn't want
anything to happen to you.

Do you know about them,

about who we are?
Did they tell you?

Pills?

Vitamins.

Probably something for sleep.

So you gave me pills and then
you set the house on fire.

Why am I having trouble with the

"I didn't want anything
to happen to you" part?

I was seeing things.

Like what?

Children.

What did you do when you,
uh, when you saw them?

I would say, "by this ring,
you are consecrated to me."

I remember that's...
That was the game we played.

It always worked.

As soon as I said it,
they always went away.

Okay. Uh, I think
you have to go now.

Benjie, there's this script.

I can't explain, but you're part

of this beautiful
mythological script.

Oh, my god.

My long-lost psychotron sister
is pitching me a movie.

Agatha, leave.

And take the DVD with you.

You don't have to worry about
me starting any more fires.

They put my pilot light out.

Work your program, Milton.
Don't argue in the bedroom.

Bedroom's for sleeping, making
love, not for fighting.

You need to talk,
go to a coffee shop.

Thank you. Thanks.

See you Tuesday.

Okay. Thanks.

Yeah?

Well, is she there now?

Hello, Agatha.

My books, you read any of them?

Yes.

Secrets kill.

A classic.

How did you find me?

Please, no film noir questions.

Did benjie... did benjie
tell me you were here?

How would he know that?
Did you go see benjie?

No.

Bad idea, going to see benjie.

Reckless.

The question remains,

why are you in la?

I'm in recovery.

I wanted to make amends.

No one escapes
the long arm of 12-step.

Why didn't you
ever come see me”?

That's a victim question.

That's an "I never promised
you a Rose garden" question.

You know why.

I don't believe in rewarding
homicidal behavior.

I've changed.

I wanted to tell you how...

How sorry I am for what I did.

I wanted to tell you and
mother. I sent letters.

Apologies accepted.

You need money?

No, I have a job. I'm
working for Havana segrand.

She asked if I knew you.

Here. Here's $10,000.

I want you to get on a plane.
That would be a true amends.

Our lives are rich and full.

We made them from
the ashes of what you left.

Give Ms. segrand notice.

Agatha: Father...

Please.

Don't ever think
about seeing benjie again

or Cristina, do you understand?

You can't have actually believed

I would let you come back
and fuck up my world again.

Take your skin cream,
and your meds,

and your hefty bag luggage,

and set them at the door.

And work your program.

All right. We're done, benjie.
I'll see you Friday.

All right. Thanks, rusty.

Hey!

What are you doing in there?

What the fuck are
you doing in my pool?

Who are you?

Micah.

He's a drowned boy.

I don't wanna see you.
I didn't do anything to you.

His father thinks he could have
done something to save him.

That's what
fathers always think.

I'm not doing this.

Go play with somebody else.

I'm alive, asshole.
I'm alive and I'm not crazy!

I know a man who lives under the
sword of damocles we call aids.

"When my time comes,”
he told me,

"I'll be ready.

"My bags are
packed and at the door."

I like that.
I like that very much.

There is a time, in our
lives and in our therapies

when our eyes stray to
the bags at the door.

Liberty.

Say, "we have to stop.”

We have to stop.

"You're a patient here.
I wanna help you."

You're a patient here.
I wanna help you.

You don't think I set
those fires, do you?

Say, "I think that
you didn't mean to.

You just need help, that's all."

I think you didn't mean to. You
just need help, that's all.

Don't you wanna help me?

Leave my stockings.

I have burns, my legs,
my stomach and my back.

Wow. Okay.

"On my school notebook,
on my desk and on the trees,

"on the sand and in the snow,
I write your name.

"On all the flesh that says yes,
on the forehead of my friends,

"on every hand
held out, I write your name."

Host: Your mother, of course,
was Clarice Taggart,

the wonderful actress who died
tragically in a fire in the mid-'70s.

Havana: Christmas, '76.

Host: You've spoken
of your mother's addictions,

and recently revealed,
and very bravely, I must say,

that you, yourself,
were physically abused.

Havana: And sexually, yes.

Which is far more uncommon.
Usually it's a male, the father,

stepdad, what have you. Hmm.

And I wanna talk
about that, Havana.

But, first, there is a question
that I've been dying to ask.

What is it like starring
in a remake of a movie,

stolen waters, as you are now,

and essentially
playing your mother?

Scary.

I mean, we all hear
that we become our mothers,

but this is a bit extreme.

And she was even nominated.

Havana:
For an academy award, yes.

Which I believe
she should have won.

But she did get
the golden globe.

I suppose I feel
about as comfortable

as l.. As I could.

We're very lucky

to have Damien javitz directing.
Havana: Agatha!

Host: Now,
there is a man who's made...

Havana:
Agatha, can you come up here?

Some strange films. Honored,
yes, but strange, nonetheless.

Don't be shy.

I'm so backed up
from the Vicodin.

I need you to go back to whole
foods and get me a laxative.

I think it's
called quiet moment.

Oh. They should call
it "unquiet moment".

Um, and I'm gonna
need you tonight.

Maria can't work. One of her thousand
kids has cholera, or whatever.

Oh, um, but what...
What do I do?

Um, kitchen stuff, mostly.

You know, easy. Refill drinks,
maybe a little serving.

You'll have fun.
Lots of interesting people.

It'll be good for you.

Oh, fuck!

I think I'm gonna need an enema.

Oh, wait. Wait.

I wanted to ask you something.

Do you see men?

Sometimes.

Are you seeing someone now?

You are!

Just dating a little.

What does he do?

He's an actor.

Oh, god. They're the worst.

You have to fight 'em for
the mirror in the mornings.

Well, in my case,
that doesn't apply.

He writes, too.

Oh, you know,
you're very attractive.

Don't run yourself down.

Do you do it with him?

Havana!

You can tell me!

How much do you do?

Almost everything.

Do you come?

There you go.

Is he a waiter?

No, he... you, uh, he
drives a limousine.

You met him
outside of Valentino's.

Oh, yeah. He's cute.

Man, limo drivers are wolves.

Um, okay.

Um, I need yogurt
and cigarettes,

and call the hot tub man
because the water's cold.

Oh, my god. Oh,
my god, it stinks in here.

Hey, suckerfish.

Hey. You're out late
for a school night.

Two days off.

Oh. Well, have a Shirley temple.

Surely, you jest.

Don't call me "Shirley."

Oh, uh, benjie weiss,
Gretchen voss.

Hey, uh, I feel like getting into
some shit tonight. You got any?

What, the suits workin' you?

Bustin' my expensive little
hump one day at a time.

Where's, uh, Kayla?

Oh, fuck her.

I did, after the teamsters
sold her my poop.

She got it for a song.

Oh, you mean for a schiong.

Oh, it's a long story.

Long and coiled.

What up with Sam?

Well, let's find out, shall we?

She dug you, man. She dug
you, and you dissed her.

I didn't diss her.

Rhett, I know
you're holding, man.

I'm not gonna be the one to fuck
up your sobriety, okay, benjie?

Are you doing the
new babysitter sequel?

Yeah. They made me an offer
my mother couldn't refuse.

It made so much money.

Yeah.

I saw you in thrill kill. Cool.

Well, we tried to
have fun with horror.

The critics got it, anyways.

L, uh, got a little ghb,
if you wanna get high.

I think I love you.

All right, Sam's on
her way, Jose. Done deal.

The Terminator.

Cheers.

Cheers.

So I got this off of ebay. And,
supposedly, it was used at columbine.

Check it out.

Hey! Hey! That's loaded,
man, that's loaded.

Then I'll empty it.

Okay, don't fuck around.

Benjie.

Oh, my god, that is so sick.

Oh, god, if America only knew.

Gretchen:
Finish the joke, Rhett.

About the hillbilly.

Oh, my god. You've only been
telling it for an hour.

Okay, so... okay.

The hillbilly
says to the yuppie...

And, what exactly is a yuppie?

Are you serious?

Well, like, I know what it is.

I just don't know
what it stands for.

Okay. The hillbilly
says to the yuppie, right,

he says, "I know a place
where we can go," right,

"where they got dancin',
they got fightin',

"they got drinkin'
and they got fuckin'. Whoo!"

Rhett, does this
joke end in safe sex?

Fuck safe sex! Let's bareback.

Come on. All right,
come on, give me that.

Hey, I said, does this
joke end in safe sex?

Oh, well, I hope not.

Then I'm gonna have to kill you.

All right, come on. Benjie,
this is getting old, all right?

The yuppie says,

"great. Who else
is gonna be there?"

Then the hillbilly says,

"who else? Just me and you."

You motherfucker!

You idiot! Oh, god!

Benjie: Holy shit!
Rhett: This is so fucked!

Fuck!

Get out of here, benjie!

Rhett, man, I'm sorry!

You saw, I...
I had all the bullets out.

Rhett: You're fuckin' crazy.
You killed my dog, asshole!

You sick motherfucker,
you killed my dog!

Get out of here!

May I come in?

I'm not sure that's a good idea.

I won't stay long, mom.

I just wanted to make amends.

I've seen this
house in the magazines.

In, uh, architectural digest
and the profiles of father.

Makes me feel exposed, but...

Stafford likes
things personalized

to show the world how
and where we live.

Can I get you anything?

Um, no, thank you.

I supposedly quit.

Actually, I thought you'd
come here sooner. It...

It's been seven years.

It takes me that long
to put on my make-up.

Agatha, I...
I didn't go to see you.

I wouldn't have come to see
me if I were you either.

I was afraid because
of what you did.

You don't have to explain.

I've dreamt so much
of that old house.

It was the first place I visited

when I got back here.

It's so strange that
nobody's built on it.

Well, we still own the property.

Since before I can remember
I've had the same dream.

Benjie and me
getting married there,

in a big white tent.

It didn't make any sense,

and then I found out
about you and dad.

You were in Europe.

I found the key to the lock box.

All the pictures.

We didn't know
we were brother and sister.

We'd been separated
since we were kids.

It was a freak thing. We met
on campus in the desert.

Agatha, we didn't know.

We didn't know.

What are you doing here?

Stafford, it's all right.

I told you to stay away from us.

You didn't know.

It was a freak thing.

I found the diaries.

Love is stronger than death.

You crazy cunt! Stop it!

Oh, daddy, don't!

Cristina: Get off her!

Okay. Okay. Gotta go! Gotta go!

Don't take her! Gotta go!

Daddy! Don't take her!

Don't take her!
Don't take her! Oh!

Let me go!

Agatha: Let me go!

Agatha: Owl

My ring.

She took my wedding ring.

My ring.

Piss patrol, caught in the act.

You know, you're chewing
some major scenery out there.

Roy: What do you mean?

You know what I mean,
vuh-by-nuh-head.

Who's the star of the show?

Huh? Can you tell me that, Roy?

Uh, you are?

Cammy: He's not your enemy.

You...

Love is stronger than death.

You're a bad babysitter,
Benjamin.

Just diel just die!

You're a very bad babysitter.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

He may be groggy
from the medication.

On.

Oh, my baby.

My baby, my baby, my baby.

I'm so sorry, mom.

Why?

Benjie, why did you do it?

He was just a little boy.

I saw her again.

Who, baby, Agatha?

Did Agatha come to see you?

The little girl, she tricked me.

What little girl?

From the hospital, the one
that died that I keep seeing.

Oh.
Oh, my baby, my baby, my baby.

Oh, my baby,
my baby, my baby, my baby.

We've got to get him home.

I'd like to place him
outside of California.

We need Jonas to speak
with the district attorney.

He's only 13.

We have to factor in the violence
of the assault, Cristina.

He didn't take a gun to a kid at school,
Harriet. He hurt one boy. One boy!

The state's become
very tough on minors.

They won't send him to jail?

They won't send him to jail.

The boy's gonna be all right.

Oh, thank god.

They've shut down production.

I don't know if
they're gonna recast.

What? But it's such a small
little part. What...

Benjie! They're talking
about recasting benjie!

Oh, my god.

It's over! Done!

Now the whole world will know.

The world will know
we have done crimes.

I hope you don't mind
that I requested you.

No, I'm glad.

Oh, god. I feel shitty.

I think I've got bronchitis.

Kind of makes your
voice sound sexy.

Thank you.

So how's the romance going?

It's all right.
It's pretty good.

What's that all about for you?

What do you mean?

Um, you know, the burn thing.

Is it creepy?

To fuck her?

No, not really.

Does she take her gloves off?

Do your friends
think it's weird?

Have your friends even met her?

I'm kind of trying to...

Trying to write
a script about it.

Ah!

Research!

Everything's
research on some level.

Mmm.

Would you fuck me if I
asked you to, for research?

I don't know.

How would we do it?

Can you see me?

Look at what I'm doing.

How would we fuck?

From behind? Uh...

We could, if you want.

I want. For a long time?

Yeah.

Am I better looking than her?

Yeah.

And my skin,
do I have better skin?

Yeah.

And my holes?
Are my holes better?

You wanna fuck my holes?

Yeah.

I gotta go.

Do me a favor, don't get
out, just climb over.

What happened to you?

I took the bus.

What's wrong with the car?

It broke.

What happened to you yesterday?

I was sick.

Yeah. I've been sick all week.

I still manage to get up at 5:00 in
the morning and work for 14 hours.

What's wrong with you?

I think I have the flu.

You're acting really weird.
And you're dirty.

I'm sorry.

It was too much trouble
to just, like, text?

I'm sorry.

Stop saying that.

Uh, you know, maybe
this isn't working out.

Maybe you need to
just go back to Florida.

You know, go back to Kansas, Dorothy.
That's fine.

But I wish you wouldn't just sit there
like that because it's creeping me out.

You smell. You smell.
You hear me?

Go home and take a bath.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my god! You bled!

Don't you...
Don't you use fucking Tampax?

Are you psychotic?

I'm sorry.

I don't... I don't believe this.
My... my crazy assistant

just bled on my $12,000 couch!

I don't want you in my life,
you sick, fucking pig!

I'm sorry. I'll pay for it.

Go to the kitchen and
get Perrier and bleach,

and Google the best way
to get rid of a stain!

L...
I pick you up off the street.

I give you money so
you can be late for work,

and have your
period on my furniture!

Do... do you think
that Carrie Fisher...

Do... do you think Nicole Kidman

and Halle Berry have scary
little animals working for them?

Scary, deformed...

Hi, Agatha.

Benjie.

I went awol and told an orderly

that if he let me slip out
then I'd give him $10,000.

Douchebag star fucker.

How did you find me?

You said you worked for her.

And I've been up
here before so...

Where's Havana?

She went to the canyon ranch.

Damien gave her
a couple of days off.

I'm lost, Agatha.

I couldn't go to Rhett's,
and I can't go home.

Benjie, you'll have to listen to
me because there's nothing else.

It's all ending now.
Do you understand?

This is Cristina's. You've got
to get daddy's. Can you do that?

Can you go to the house
and get daddy's ring?

We're gonna keep it
quiet as long as we can.

I don't want anything
interfering with the book tour.

Worst case, I go on Oprah again,

fess up, do the whole
Lance Armstrong thing.

That'll build us
a fresh money stream.

So we kick it off Monday morning

with gma and play
it as it lays. Ciao.

Cristina? Cristina?

Cristina?

Cristina!

Cristina!

Dad?

Dad?

I haven't taken
this many before.

That was so brave of you,
to go back there.

I just slipped
it off his finger.

It was like he
wanted me to have it.

We should start.

I had 13 summers. Not so bad.

Hey, not so bad.

Agatha: By this ring...

Benjie: By this ring...

Agatha: You are
consecrated to me...

I am consecrated to you...

As my husband...

As your husband.

Benjie: By this ring...

Agatha: By this ring...

Benjie: You are consecrated
to me as my wife.

I am consecrated
to you as your wife.

Make me as a seal
upon your heart.

You may kiss the bride.
