Spin (2007) - full transcript

Six people in Los Angeles recall their misadventures from the previous night at a club.

D'you know what? I listen

to all my friends,

and I don't get

the one of you.

You're all neurotic,

bitching, worried, and insecure.

Mate, what the hell for?

We're 23 years old.

We don't have wives,

we don't have kids.

We don't own anything

that owns US.

For god's sake,

we barely have jobs.

And we are here.

This is the greatest

time of our lives.

You should do what I do.

Yeah, what's that?

Do what you want.

Do what you feel.

Trust the universe.

And when you do, trust me...

it will all work out.

Girl: Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Did you sleep all right?

Yeah, yeah. You?

You were kind of out of it.

[Chuckles]

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess so.

No, it's okay.

Last night was one of

the best nights of my life.

Me, too.

[Laughs]

Can I use

your bathroom?

Yeah.

Last night was the worst

night of my life!

What happened?

Well, first...

first of all,

I slept with apple.

What's wrong with that?

Mick, I can't sleep with apple

because I'm in love

with Cassie, and apple

is Cassie's friend.

So... why did

you sleep with apple?

Dude, I don't know.

I don't know, okay?

Last night was so fucked up.

All right, calm down, calm down.

Start from the beginning

and tell me what happened.

Okay. Fuck.

Um... whew.

Okay, so, I'm at the club...

[Dance music playing]

And I'm spinning.

Wait a second.

Actually, you know what?

I'm gonna go

further back than that.

To where?

To two nights before last.

Okay.

What happened then?

Oh, man.

That was so pathetic.

Um...

It's okay.

Are you okay?

No, i... i'm...

that's very sweet of you to say,

but obviously

that was ridiculous.

Uh, thank you so much

for being so sweet.

Hey, do you mind, can I take

a picture of you real quick?

Are you kidding me?

[Camera clicks]

You're not kidding me.

This is... okay.

God, kill me.

[Laughs]

Are you done? Are we...

[camera clicks]

You happy?

Yeah.

Okay, that's what I live for.

[Laughs]

I'm Cassie.

Hi. Ryan. Hi.

Good to meet you.

Yeah, you, too.

Sorry.

Uh... so, would you want

to have some lunch?

Yeah. Okay.

Do you have a napkin for him?

So, ever since then,

I've wanted to be

an actress.

[Indistinct chatter]

Well, all right.

Are you, like,

Yeah.

Yes.

Me, too.

But only with you,

so don't tell anybody.

Ryan: I would've

married her right there.

Too bad she wasn't so sure.

Here you go.

Okay, so...

Should I call you,

like, tomorrow night?

Yeah.

As friends, yeah?

Yeah, friends. Yeah.

Ryan: We went through

everything together...

all her asshole boyfriends...

[Sobbing]

Paul is such an asshole!

Ryan: We spent almost

every day together...

all the good times,

bad times, sad times.

Moments I'll never forget.

I thought it would

be this way forever.

But who knew three nights ago

we'd go out, get drunk,

and the next thing I know...

Yeah, I know all this, mate.

Tell me you shagged her.

No.

You won't tell me,

but you did, didn't you?

No.

No?

No! Shit.

Why not?

Dude, because we were,

like, fuckin' wasted,

and if we're gonna be together,

I want it to be 100% right.

You know? So I

walked her to her door.

So, tonight was, like,

one of

the greatest nights

of my entire life.

Okay, so I'll just

see you tomor... okay.

That's it?

Don't you see

what's going on here?

Cassie feels the same way

about me as I feel about her.

Well, that's lovely, mate.

No, but... see,

you don't know Cassie.

Now she's scared.

She's been avoiding me.

She won't take any of my calls.

But I knew that she would be

at the club last night.

What? Where? What?

Sarah.

Hi.

And the problem is?

She's, like, this psycho

groupie stalker.

And she comes to

every one of my shows.

Put that in the one

in the front.

And she makes these

passes at me, dude.

Delaney, they get

weirder and weirder.

And weirder? Yeah, I don't

detect a problem, Ryan.

Dude, we've talked about this.

It's not about that

anymore. I've changed.

What, like a sex change?

Hey, seriously.

No, that's great.

You're, like,

a nobel prize winner.

I'd have sex with you...

Immediately.

Listen, honestly,

it's a really important

night for me,

and I don't need a scene, okay?

So, I need you to keep

that girl away from me.

I'll do it

for 100 bucks.

What?!

I need the money, Ryan!

I am not

giving you money,

and you know why.

Dude, you're my friend.

Go do it.

Go. Go!

All right, fine. Okay?

Whoa.

Hi.

Listen, this can't

happen, Sarah,

because I've...

I've actually found somebody

that I want to spend

the rest of my life with.

That's great.

Mm-hm.

No, no, no, no.

Wow. This looks bad.

It's... but you know what?

It's... get up.

Ryan: So, she walks out,

and where do you think she goes?

Guess what?

Do you see what you've done?

It only takes me five minutes

to talk Sarah down,

but by the time I get outside,

the first thing I hear is...

Killer move, man.

She is hot!

You're my god.

You dog.

Wait, is everybody

talking about me?

Of course. You just

got a Hummer in

Derek's office.

No, i...

I realize that if Cassie

hears this bullshit rumor

before I can explain,

I am fucked.

Never mind.

And just then...

Cassie walks in.

And they disappear.

To where?

Where do you think?

God, not the ladies' room.

Yeah, yeah, the ladies' room.

How long?

45 minutes.

I tried calling her cell phone,

like, a thousand times,

but, of course, it's turned off.

Oh, Jesus Christ!

Okay, look, man.

You're broke.

I know you're broke.

We're all broke.

Delaney, hey... what the fuck?

What?

You were supposed to keep

that girl away from me!

I mean, i... i...

no, listen to me, Ryan, okay?

I'm confounded

by stress right now,

and I could really

use your help, okay?

All I'm asking you for

is a very simple...

$200.

$200?

Yep.

$200?

Where am I gonna get $200?

50. $50.

You know what?

I just want you to go away.

Just go away.

I want you to get

away from me now.

I'm just trying to

keep it real, Ryan.

I thought you could

understand that.

Idiot. Idiot.

Aubrey!

Aubrey.

Aubrey. Aubrey.

Yeah.

Please...

where's Cassie?

Oh, she's right there.

[Music playing]

[Laughing]

Who the fuck is that guy?

Oh, that's Tony Russo.

Whoa, no, no, no.

Who the hell is Tony Russo?

I don't know.

He calls himself, like,

an actors' manager.

But I just think

he's one of those, like,

date-raping mafioso

freaks, you know?

He tells young, hot chicks

he's a manager,

so then he can, like,

take them out

then he gets them,

like, really fucked up,

so, you know, he can cop

a little late-teen ass.

Though I have seen him

with that chick

that used to be on

that TV show Texas high.

Or maybe that's his wife.

Oh, but you want to hear

the worst part?

Cassie left her jacket here.

Now I have to carry this

thing around with me all night.

Give me that.

[Music stops, record crackles]

What?

Oh, man!

[All grumbling]

[Loud static]

[Music resumes]

Sorry. Sorry.

Wow. So you think

that chick from Texas high

is really his wife?

Not the goddamn point, Mick.

Right. Sorry, mate.

Dude, I mean, I let a record

run out last night.

Do you think Derek's

gonna let that fly?

I probably lost my fucking job.

Yeah, not the best move, mate.

No, not a great move.

I was so out of my head.

All I could think about was her.

Okay, so you followed her?

Right, yeah.

So, I go outside,

and I see her getting into

this massive, fuck-off limo.

So, I jump into my car

and start to follow them,

but the entire way to the club,

I am thinking of Cassie

giving some, like, late-teen ass

to this fuckin' freak.

So, when I get to the club,

I'm out of my fucking gourd.

Dude, it's 20 bucks,

but you gotta...

fuck off.

So, I have to sneak

past one bouncer

and then another bouncer

to get to the v.I.P. Room

that I watched them go into.

Cassie: A screen test?

Man: Wait a second.

What do you want?

Cassie, you left

your jacket at the club.

Ryan.

Can I speak to you

for a moment outside, please?

[Sighs] What the hell

are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

What the hell are you

doing here?

I mean, I catch you

with this date-raping

mafioso scumbag?

Ryan, he's a manager, okay?

Come on, Cassie,

you're not that stupid.

And you caught me?

Who the hell are you

to catch me?

You are all over

that guy in there.

You're all over him.

What are you talking about?

Okay, you know what?

I thought we had something.

I thought we had something.

Don't we have something?

Ryan, you think because

we make out one night...

what, we're supposed

to get fucking married?

I mean, give me a break.

This isn't high school,

all right?

You're acting like a schoolboy.

This is the real world,

and you need to fucking grow up!

Cassie: Fuck.

Oh. Ow.

[Rock music]

[Laughs]

Hey, Ryan!

Hi, Zeke.

You don't look so good.

I suck.

Okay, okay.

You need a drink.

Zeke buys me a drink,

and then he buys me

another drink.

And then he looks at me

and says...

So, how you feelin'?

Much better, thank you.

Nah, man, I mean,

how are you "feeling"?

What?

Don't be mad.

But you seemed so bummed

when we talked earlier,

that I slipped a little

something in your drink.

[Pop]

[Laughs]

It's this new top-secret drug

developed by this

huge drug company.

No one knows

exactly what it does,

but it's supposed

to be mind-blowing.

Zeke...

You fucking drugged me?

No, no, you don't understand.

It's free!

I'm giving out samples tonight

to get people psyched

to hook up.

Dude, dig this.

I just scored big-time, man.

I gave two hits

to this huge dealer

named Tony Russo.

[Gasps]

[Whimpering]

My god!

What is this?

All right, I'm a veterinarian.

Somebody dropped you off here

on the steps of our clinic.

You were o.D.Ing,

we thought

we'd lost you.

I gotta get out of here.

[Dogs barking]

Hey, hey! Come back here!

[Gasps]

[Barking]

[Tires screech]

Uhh!

Aah!

You're alive!

Hey, you! Stop!

Get me out of here!

Get me out!

Go, Aubrey! Go, go, go!

Oh, my god!

They said you were dead!

Jesus Christ, Ryan!

What the shit happened?!

I don't know. Zeke said

that you were o.D.Ing,

then he dropped you off

at this clinic

on the steps.

No, no. Fuck Zeke!

He's the one who put me there

in the first place.

What?!

That motherfucker.

I can't believe this.

Where are my clothes?!

[Sobbing]

You didn't show up at the clinic

wearing any clothes!

Why?!

He gave me your shit.

This is all I got.

[Wailing]

It's okay, it's okay.

Phone.

Oh, this is great.

My fuckin' wallet's gone.

My money's gone.

What the fuck is this?

"Ryan, I want you.

I've always wanted you.

I want to feel your..."

[Cassie's voice overlaps]

...Skin next to mine.

I want you inside me.

Meet me at 625 main street...

Ryan: "Apartment 408."

Cassie: I'll be waiting.

This... this is Cassie's

handwriting.

Cassie wrote this.

Is this for me?

Uh, yeah.

Aubrey, you're not

fucking with me?

No, no, I saw her write that.

When?

At the club, in the bathroom.

Oh, my god.

Can you... Aubrey, can you

drop me at my house?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah, of course.

Thank you, thank you.

So, I rush home, get dressed,

get into a cab,

and I am in front of this door

in, like, five minutes.

Hello?

Hello?

Shit.

Ohh.

[Music playing]

The drug.

The drug.

[Rumbling]

Now I wake up here.

What the fuck

am I gonna do, Mick?

Dude, she's making breakfast.

She wants to spend

the day with me.

I can't spend

the day here, Mick.

I can't spend the day here

because I need to get

my fucking life back.

All right, calm down.

Here's what you do.

You tell her that yesterday

you found a stray dog

in the park,

and you brought it home,

but it's sick,

so you have to go home right now

and nurse it back to health.

What?! That will never work!

It works like a charm.

No. No, it works

for you, man.

It works for you.

They all work for you.

Trust me, mate.

Chicks love it.

They eat it up.

Oh.

Apple: Is everything

okay in there?

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

Just give me one more second.

I'm sorry.

Dude, I gotta go.

Thank you.

Nice work.

[Clears throat]

[Whistles]

Hey.

Hey.

How do you like your coffee?

You know, actually, um...

I'm sorry, apple.

I can't hang out.

My roommate just called.

You see, I found

this stray dog in

the park yesterday,

and apparently it got sick,

so I gotta go home right now

and nurse it back to health.

You fucking liar!

Whoa, now!

[Cell phone ringing]

Yeah?

Mick: Level with me.

Did you really pick up

a naked Ryan

at the veterinary hospital?

My god, last night

was such a joke.

What happened?

Okay, so, of course

Cassie misses her shift

'cause it takes her, like,

two hours to get ready.

So, finally around 1 A.M.,

we make it to the club.

♪ I called my girl

on the phone ♪

♪ I called my girl in Rome ♪

♪ I want to kiss

the microphone ♪

Aubrey: We were

causing major whiplash,

but before we even have

a second to enjoy it,

Ryan's waving at US

like he's about to

come in his pants

just seeing her.

Oh, my god.

Is he okay?

And the weird thing is,

when I point him out to her,

she gets this

scared look on her face...

the same look I saw

at her place earlier.

I don't think

I want to go tonight.

Are you on crack?

So, before I even have

a second to contemplate this...

Oh, thank god.

I have to tell you something.

Right now.

She's in love with Ryan.

No.

Yeah.

Interesting.

Not really.

But, of course, we have to have

a huge discussion about it.

I know you guys are friends

and everything,

and I don't want it

to be weird between US,

but you're the one who says

that he really needs somebody

who can be there for him,

and I can do that.

But he barely seems

to know I even exist.

Well, he's looking

at US right now,

so why don't we go

to the bathroom?

Come on.

Heh.

So, we head to the bathroom.

Damn it!

So, what's the problem?

Okay, look...

Me, you and Ryan have

been hanging out together

for, what, like,

the last two years, right?

And all in that time,

I don't think Ryan has

ever looked at me as...

as a girl.

And I mean, okay, I get it.

He's this cool d.J.,

and I'm a law-school

student/paralegal.

He's part of this

ultra-cool scene,

and I'm only here on weekends.

Yeah, but you're hot

and you have great tits.

Cassie: And why do you

always undersell yourself?

It makes you seem

so much smaller than you are.

Cassie's being, like,

weirdly passive-aggressive.

And what's the problem, anyhow?

I mean, you want it, right?

Well, yeah, that's what

I've been saying.

So fucking go get him!

And I'm starting to wonder...

could Cassie maybe like Ryan?

Show him you want him.

Or you know what would be hot?

Write him a note.

Write him, like,

a really sexy note.

What?

Yeah. Write him, like,

this fucking hot,

cheesy note. Like...

"I've always wanted you.

I want to see your body.

"I want your skin next to me.

"I want to feel your skin on me.

I want you inside me."

Hold on, that's good.

"I want you to feel me.

I want your skin

against mine." Yeah!

"I've always wanted you.

I just... i just..."

fuck, fuck, fuck.

"I want to feel

your skin, you know?

"I want to feel

your skin against me.

I want to feel you

inside me."

Do you know what I mean?

And don't even sign your name.

Just leave your new address...

And then see what happens.

Cassie, are you

fucking kidding me?

Well...

[Laughs]

I mean, you said

he's this cool d.J.,

so, you know,

if you want him, go get him!

Yeah, but I said

he's a cool d.J.,

I mean, he's also a great guy.

I mean, that's why I like him,

because I know him well enough

to know that's not

what he wants, Cassie.

You think Ryan's any different?

I mean, in this town,

in this scene that

you're going out in,

everyone's sweet and interesting

and nice and compassionate...

Until they fuck you.

And then you wake up,

and they have some

lame excuse like, uh...

[Chuckles]

Like they have some stray dog

that they have to go home

and take care of.

And then they're gone...

Before they can even

have coffee with you.

And that's it.

Ryan's not like that.

Ryan would never pull some

stupid stray dog trick.

Right?

Cassie, what the fuck

is wrong with you?

Seriously!

[Sighs] La-di-da.

You asked me for my advice,

and here it is.

Do you want the note?

No, I don't,

because I don't need

your games... Or whatever.

[Flushing]

I'm sorry.

Suit yourself.

All right, you guys, please...

Let's just go out

and have some fun.

Let's blow.

So, we head out

of the bathroom...

wait.

So that conversation

took 45 minutes?

Fuck off, Mick.

All right, love.

Okay, so, we head

out of the bathroom.

Apple peels off 'cause she's

totally pissed at Cassie.

And Cassie and me

are way, way high

and in need of

liquid refreshment.

But just when we barely

reach the bar...

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Okay, normally

I would never do this,

so I apologize in advance,

but you're an actress, right?

Please.

Yes.

Cassie.

And who's asking?

Tony Russo.

Premier talent.

I'm a manager.

Oh, my god.

I've seen you here, yeah?

With that girl, um...

the one who's on Texas high.

Yes, she's a client of mine.

Hmm.

Want to take a walk?

Talk a little bit?

Yeah.

Are you kidding?

Hi, can I get a patrón and...

are you fucking

kidding me? Cassie!

When I finally find her

heading back to the lounge,

she, like, waves me off.

So, I'm trudging

back to the bar...

And guess who I see?

Ha ha! Okay, look.

Give Delaney money,

Delaney goes away.

Really?

Yeah, yeah.

I had to give him 50 bucks

just to get off my case.

Uhh, who do I have to blow

to get a cocktail around here?

Me?

Eww.

Ha!

And before I can make it

two steps...

Aubrey.

Yeah.

Please... where's Cassie?

Mick: I know this part.

Right. So, Ryan goes off

'cause he's pissed,

and at this point,

my mouth is like

a fucking desert.

And I'm finally about to

remedy the situation, when...

[Loud static]

[Music resumes]

Sorry. Sorry.

And after all that,

I'm almost to the bar,

when I see... okay, you're

not gonna believe this.

Come here!

Listen to me!

Where's my fucking husband?

I know he's cheating on me!

Hey, whoa.

Hey, hey!

Hey, isn't that the chick

that used to be on Texas high?

Oh, whatever.

And I have to wait until

they pry this psycho

actress off the guy

so I can finally get my drink.

And when I get to the bar

and finally quench the raging

dust storm in my mouth,

I realize I have no more money.

Uh...

Delaney.

And when I tell

the new bartender

that I gave my last dime

to that moocher,

dig this... he knows Delaney.

And not only that, he tells me

some totally fucked-up shit.

Delaney is pulling

the George orwell.

What's the George orwell?

That's what I said.

And he tells me

that George orwell's

this English guy

who wrote this

really famous book

about, like, talking pigs

and chickens and ducks...

animal farm.

Exactly. Now,

what people don't know

about George orwell

is that he wasn't

even George orwell.

He was some lord or something

from this ultra-rich family

who decided he wanted to,

like, make it on his own

as a writer, so...

[Beep]

He changed his name,

gave up all his money,

and moved to Paris and became

this starving homeless guy

and wrote this other

really famous book.

Down and out

in Paris and London.

Exactly.

Delaney is doing

the exact same thing.

He tells US

he's a struggling artist

when he's not even

named Delaney!

His dad's, like,

some multi-gazillionaire

who, like, runs this

massive software company.

Fucking cunt.

No shit! And I'm about

to go bitch-slap a bitch

and get my 50 bucks back,

when I see this guy.

[Music playing]

I'm Jack.

Heh.

Ryan! Ryan was o.D.Ing,

I didn't know

Holy fuck! Holy fuck,

Fuck!

Where is it?!

Hi, I'm looking for a patient.

We list by

owner's name.

By a what?!

We list by owner's name.

[Laughs]

Oh, my god.

Yeah, I didn't have

a second to laugh

because, um...

When I get there,

they tell me that he's dying.

I don't know.

I was sitting there,

and I was...

In this chair,

and I was praying, and...

[crying] And they

told me that he's dead.

And...

I don't know. To hear those

words again, I just,

you know, fuck.

Fuck.

And I get his stuff,

and I walk out,

and I'm thinking...

I don't know.

Was it Cassie?

Was it an accident?

Was there something

I could've done?

And even if there was,

would it have really

made a difference?

And why the fuck are we here?

And does anything

even fucking matter?

[Sobbing]

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

really needed help, and...

fuck!

No one was

picking up their phone.

Please!

So I did the worst

possible thing I could do.

I called my dealer.

Darling, no.

I know.

You have something?

So, I'm about to go be

a total fucking loser

and go back to that shit

that almost killed me,

but right at that very moment...

[Tires screech]

Aah!

You're alive!

Vet: Hey, you! Stop!

Get me out of here!

Okay!

Get me out of here!

Oh, my god! They said

you were dead!

Jesus Christ, Ryan!

Okay, I'm freaking out,

he's freaking out...

Aubrey, go, go, go!

And I am not shitting you...

the man is butt-naked.

Where are my clothes?!

[Wailing]

So, I throw him Cassie's

jacket, and for some reason

he's rifling through

the pockets...

When he finds the note.

"Ryan, I want you.

I've always wanted you..."

And after everything

the man's been through...

I just didn't have

the heart to tell him.

Cassie wrote this.

Is this for me?

Yes!

Aubrey, you're not

fucking with me?

No, no, I saw her

write it.

When?

Um... at the club,

in the bathroom.

So, he thinks he's gonna go

meet Cassie in 20 minutes.

Can you drop me off at my house?

Yeah.

Thank you.

This is so exciting!

[Laughs] Ohh.

At this point, I'm totally cured

of any need to do drugs.

And I drop him off,

I'm driving home,

and after everything

I've been through,

just to add insult

to fucking injury...

[Dog whimpering]

What the fuck?!

[Yaps]

It must've jumped in

at the clinic.

And I take him back,

and they say they don't

have any record of him.

So, now everywhere I go,

I have to bring this.

Oh, my god.

Back up a second.

What did happen

between Cassie

and Tony Russo?

I don't know. I've been

trying to call her all day.

She's not answering her phone.

[Yaps]

I fuckin' hate this thing.

[Telephone ringing]

[Ring]

[Ring]

[Ring]

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Wake up.

Wake up. Wake up.

Wake up! Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up!

Wake up!

Fuck!

Get a fucking grip.

You were right, okay?

Ryan is such a goddamn jerk.

He pulled that stupid

stray dog trick

and walked out on me

after I slept with him!

He is such an asshole!

Apple, I really can't

talk about this right now.

Like we don't spend hours

talking about all

your stupid shit!

It's not like

this is life and death.

Okay. That's right.

I forgot.

Because life or death situations

happen to you

all the fucking time!

Actually, there's

a dead guy upstairs.

Cassie, that's not funny.

No shit!

Oh, my god.

Cassie, how the hell

did this happen?

I was at the club.

I walk in, I see you,

we go to the bathroom,

when we come out, you peel off,

and Aubrey and I

hit the bar, when...

excuse me, but you're

an actress, right?

So, I go to the lounge with him

and he's telling me

all about his clients.

Yeah, he shot that in Vancouver.

They only did 13,

but he had a good time.

He's got a big movie deal now.

Hmm.

Oh. Shit.

You know what?

I'm sorry. I'm supposed

to meet these casting people

at this new club.

Tell you what. Here.

Take my card.

Give me a call next week,

and we'll get together and...

great.

Or we could...

Talk in the car.

Want to tag along

and meet these people?

Don't tell me.

I know.

But he seemed really nice,

and I was in this

really, really weird mood,

so, you know, I go.

And we're in this big

fuck-off limo,

and I kept glancing

out the window

to see if he was taking

me anywhere weird,

and, you know,

it was all good.

He was really sweet.

And he seemed really

interested in my career.

You know, so,

we get to the club.

After you.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Sorry I'm late.

This is Cassie knight...

hopefully my next big client.

This is Bobby herrera

and his casting

associates James...

And that's Tommy

down there on the end.

Francisco.

Francisco,

nice to meet you.

Please, sit.

So, after all that

going back and forth,

they're testing corrigan.

We roll tape on Monday.

Jesus, that's unbelievable.

Bobby does all

the casting at Paramount.

Cassie: And I'm looking

at this guy...

like, he does all

the casting for Paramount?

But I'm listening, and their

conversation is so legit

that I'm figuring

the guy's for real.

So, I decide to step up.

You know, I had something

like that happen to me once.

Um, I was screen-testing

for this film...

Ryan: Wait a second.

What do you want?

And I'm just so sick of Ryan

always thinking he knows what's

good for me before I even do

that I chew him out in the hall,

and I tell him to...

Fucking grow up!

So, I head back inside,

and as soon as I do,

I realize I was wrong,

and I just really want

to go meet up with Ryan.

So, I just tell Tony...

Hey, Tony.

Listen, I'm gonna go.

But it was so good to meet you.

And I have your card, so...

we just ordered.

Are you sure

you don't want to stay

for another drink?

Cassie: And, I don't know!

I just figured

he's this big manager,

and, you know, maybe I should

stay for one more drink.

Tony:

He was so drunk, man!

They had to paint

eyeballs on his eyelids

for the last shot!

[Laughter]

[Overlapping chatter

and laughter]

And the next thing

I know, I wake up here.

Do you have any idea

who this man is?

No.

This man is Tony

"triggerman" Russo, Cassie!

Who's Tony "triggerman" Russo?

Don't you ever read

the newspapers?

No.

He's been on the cover

of all of them

for at least a year now!

Whatever!

Who the fuck is he?!

[Gunshots, police siren]

[Woman screams]

Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

What do we do?

What do we do?

Calm down, okay, Cassie?

Listen to me. I'm a fucking

almost lawyer, ok?

I can tell you that if

you're caught with the body

of Tony "triggerman"

Russo in your bed,

your life is over.

You will be a suspect

for murder.

It'll be all over

the newspapers and TV.

You will never be an actress.

This is some serious

fucking shit!

And not to mention...

Russo's guys are gonna be

looking for you right now.

Now...

If you call 911,

I'm leaving.

Otherwise, we have to get

that body out of here.

Okay.

Oh, god.

Okay, I'll take his legs

and you take his arms.

I don't want to take his arms.

Cassie!

What?!

[Thud]

Oh, my god.

Okay, let's just leave him here

and we'll go get something else.

Apple: We should go back

to your place and get him.

The Van should be ready

for pickup by now.

I just want to say to you...

before the cops come

or some gangsters kill me

or something...

you really are the best friend

in the entire world.

Cassie, no.

You are.

Last night in the bathroom...

I'm so sorry.

I was such a fucking bitch.

And I don't know why

Ryan walked out on you

after you were with him.

I wasn't...

"With him" with him.

You guys didn't sleep together?

No.

Why, what happened?

Last night, after you guys left,

I went to the lounge.

[Music playing]

I'll have a... vodka soda.

Sorry.

No, it's okay.

You go ahead.

No, please.

Okay.

You know what?

I'll get this one.

Really...

I'm not in the mood to talk.

And just as I'm trying

to extricate myself...

I should probably get home.

Okay.

Hey, did you hear what happened?

Ryan got a Hummer

in Derek's office

from that rich chick Sarah.

And then he just

left with her...

In the middle of his set.

[Laughs]

[Chokes]

Apple:

The next thing I know,

we're in Derek's office.

Okay, wait, wait, wait.

You know what?

I can't do this.

I mean...

I could.

[Laughs]

But...

I want someone else.

And I'm putting my

feelings for that person

onto you.

And I hate that.

Oh, god, i'm...

really drunk. Yeah.

So, thanks for

the drinks, but I just...

I'm just gonna go.

Now. Yeah.

So, of course, when I get home,

the power's out.

So, I'm freaked out,

and I'm heading

into the kitchen,

when all of a sudden,

this gust of wind

comes through it

and blows the door shut.

And my eye catches the window.

I see the city

and all these other people

just... There.

And I think... what is

the point of knowing yourself

if you're all alone?

And then, almost as if

it was a sign from god...

Hello?

Ryan?

[Thud]

So, I drag him to the bed.

Shit.

Oh, shit.

Sit up.

Okay. Okay.

And in that moment,

everything was perfect.

Till we woke up.

So, you don't have to apologize.

Everything that you said

was true.

No.

Ryan really is

how you think he is, apple.

I don't know why Ryan acted

like he did this morning,

but if he showed up

at your house, he meant to.

And he means what he does,

and he does what he says.

He's just like you.

He deserves someone like you.

You know what they say...

your friends will help you move,

but your best friends

will help you move a body.

Whew.

Ready?

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Someone came in here.

Or he wasn't dead.

He was dead.

Are you sure?

Oh, god. Oh, god.

Cassie, calm down.

Calm down.

Oh, god. They're gonna

fucking kill me.

Please don't hurt US.

Please don't hurt US.

Shut up!

Listen to me.

I don't even know what

happened last night.

But I have a feeling

it was as bad for you

as it was for me.

So, I think both of US

should just forget

that it ever happened.

Yeah.

Okay.

Now, I'm looking for

a nightclub promoter.

I think you know him.

A guy by the name of Mick.

Thank you, darling.

The usual, please.

Heh.

Okay, okay, look...

I know you don't like to be

bothered at your repast, ok,

but this is serious.

I am desperate...

and I mean desperate, Mick,

for $1,000.

You must be joking.

No, I'm not.

I'm not fucking joking.

Would I come down here

if it was a fucking joke?

Do I look like I'm smiling?

Am I happy?

I'm serious.

Fucking terrified serious.

Ok, last night was the worst

night of my life to date.

Enlighten me.

Okay.

All right. Ahem. Okay.

[Slurps]

[Smacks lips]

That's good.

Okay, so...

You know how, like,

three months ago I did

that really big art show?

Well, it cost a fucking

fortune to work with steel,

and, of course,

I didn't have any money.

So, a friend of mine

introduces me to this

big-shot drug guy

who does a little...

a little loan-sharking

on the side.

This guy named Tony Russo.

Really?

Yeah. Okay?

So, three months go by,

I'm still flat broke,

and I've barely

paid him anything back.

So, last week, at my job,

two fucking guys come in

and tell me

if I don't have at least

a grand for Tony

by Saturday night,

they're gonna break

my fuckin' legs.

And I like my legs.

I use them when I walk.

I don't want them broken.

But to make things worse...

actually, it's not

that big of a deal,

now that I think about it,

because my friend Billy

owes me a grand. Right?

So, I tell him and Tony

to meet me at the club

last night.

Of course, when I get there,

Billy's nowhere to be seen,

but that's no big deal,

I'm understandably

a little tense.

But it's okay, 'cause I've

got this great backup plan

where I'm just gonna

borrow money from

everyone that I know.

Ha ha!

And I'm working it, too.

I'm totally working it.

But the thing is,

since my backup plan

is turning into

my full-frontal plan,

everywhere I turn,

all I'm getting is...

No.

No.

No.

No, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no.

Some dude told me to blow him,

which was

incredibly excessive.

I didn't want to do it.

No. nein.

No.

Fucking no here,

no there, everywhere.

No, no!

Your... your...

you've got, like,

small balls probably. No.

No.

Uh-mm-mm-uh.

I mean, everywhere

I look, it's...

No.

No.

No.

No. I'm sorry.

Get off your knees.

I can't even get over on Ryan,

who fucks me off

not once... But twice!

Where am I

gonna get $200?

50.

I hustle the entire night.

All I manage to pull is a 50.

Ha!

And I'm walking out,

totally pissed off,

when who do I see

walking into the club?

It's Tony fucking Russo, right?

He's talking to Cassie,

probably asking where I am.

She probably told him. Bitch.

Anyway, so I fuckin' bolt.

I'm booking a retreat

for the back door.

Who do I run into?

Billy!

Yo.

Oh, thank god.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

No, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's good.

It's great.

I just... i need

my $1,000 like now.

I don't have it.

What?!

Look, I got US something

so much better.

Check this out.

This is a new top-secret drug

developed by some

huge drug company.

Nobody knows what it does,

but it's supposed to be

mind-blowing.

So, you took... you took my money

and you spent it...

spent it on drugs?

Yeah, but we're gonna make

so much more than $1,000.

We're gonna give out

a few samples, get people

psyched to hook up.

Look at me! I am not

selling fucking drugs!

Fine.

Yeah.

Chill out.

Comprende?

All right? It's fine.

Yeah.

Just give me a minute.

Zeke! Come here.

What's up?

Go wait for me at the bar.

I got a job for you.

Cool.

Taken care of.

Taken care of?

Yeah, Zeke will do

the legwork, you and I

will sit back...

son of a bitch!

Doesn't have it!

That's right.

Doesn't fuckin' have it.

So, I end up crashing

at this 6th street squat

'cause I'm too fuckin'

afraid to go home.

Finally, when I get up

the courage,

I'm driving like a lion

back to my apartment

to sell some cds,

when who do I bump into?

Man: Hey!

We're not here for you, man.

Fuck no, man.

I finally tagged

Billy on his cell phone

to see if he's made US

any money.

He says no, 'cause

apparently that "drug"

that was supposed to

make US all the money

isn't even a drug.

It's some fuckin' chemical

designed by the U.S. army

so that soldiers

look like they're dead,

so they don't get taken

in wars, like, p.O.W.S.

Whatever, right?

So, this has been

my whole fuckin' night,

and at the end of it,

I'm still flat fuckin' broke,

and I need $1,000 now!

You know what?

I don't get you.

What?

What's not to get?

I'm fucked!

The cat's out of the bag, mate.

We all know

you're pulling

the George orwell.

What?

Come on.

Your father owns a massive

software company.

Okay... don't even try and argue.

I know it's true.

And I'm watching you

sweat and moan

over 10 grand,

which I know

you could pay off

in a single bloody second.

So, what could possibly

be stopping you?

I cannot do it that way.

Why not? You have

one life, mate.

Exactly!

That's the point, Mick.

Okay. Look, like,

I want to feel everything.

But you can't have

everything without nothing.

I mean, you can't have

nothing without everything.

It's like siddhartha,

you know what I mean?

And that's what was

so great about orwell,

because he fuckin' suffered!

I mean, he had it all,

and he threw it all away

and did it on his own...

Jesus effing Christ.

You know what?

I listen to all my friends,

and I don't get the one of you.

You're all neurotic, bitching,

worried and insecure.

Mate, what the hell for?

We are 23 years old.

We don't have wives,

we don't have kids,

we don't own anything

that owns US.

For god's sake,

we barely have jobs.

And we are here.

This is the greatest

time of our lives.

You should do what I do.

Yeah, what's that?

Do what you want.

Do what you feel.

Trust the universe.

And when you do... trust me...

it will all work out.

Oh. Right.

Well, I'm sure your night

was just fuckin' fabulous.

Actually it was.

Of course.

So, I'm at the club.

Everything's tip-top

and I'm about to settle

into my first Martini,

when I see this very

attractive woman... Sarah.

She seems upset, so I walk over

and introduce myself.

Hey. My name's Mick.

Hi. Sarah.

Mick: She's very sweet

and terribly embarrassed

because she's been trapped

in this unhealthy

obsession with Ryan

and wants to talk it over.

I've been to, like,

every single one of

his shows...

So I listen to her...

I always wait by his car

because I know what

kind of car he drives.

Buy her a round or two...

You're so sweet

when you talk to me.

Cheer her up...

And the next thing I know...

No. Afterwards,

she's tired,

so I get her number

and agree to call her

later in the week.

So, I drop her off,

but I'm not ready

for the night to end.

So, I head

back to the club

for one more drink.

Now, I'm sitting

at the bar,

nursing a scotch...

Girl: That fuck!

I'm gonna do exactly to him

what he does to me.

Aren't you that bird

on Texas high?

It was... and i'm

not exaggerating...

a truly mind-blowing experience.

We went to hers

for six more hours.

Then I drove to the spa,

sauna'd, showered,

and came straight here.

Actually, you probably

know who it is.

It's that girl

from that TV show.

Um... Texas high.

Mick!

Do you have any idea

who her husband is?

Ryan told me this morning.

It's a bit of bad luck, that.

[British accent]

"A bit of bad luck!"

Yeah, yeah.

Big bad luck, okay?

You fucking slept

with Tony Russo's wife.

I didn't know it

at the time, mate.

I've been sitting here,

telling you this story

for an hour,

and you're fucking his wife?

Are you fucking kidding me?

God damn you.

You know what?

I can't be seen with you.

Trust the universe.

Fuck you, fuck the universe!

I'm out!

The truth is the truth, mate.

We all just play our

small part in it.

Well, I'll play my part.

I'll be in Mexico,

you'll be fucking dead.

Open your eyes.

You're next.

Is this you...

With my wife on this thing?

All right, mate.

I had no idea

she was your wife.

As far as I knew,

she was a bird

playing some game

with some anonymous husband.

And I never would've touched her

if I'd known

her husband was you.

But there she was...

In a bar, drunk and alone,

ready to shag

without exchanging

a single word,

and utterly,

stunningly beautiful.

Now, I believe that any man

who can hold a gun on me

the way you are

probably understands

exactly what I'm saying,

and has maybe

even done the exact

same thing himself.

But if you haven't,

or if you don't,

or if you don't want

to admit that you have,

or you do, or you're

just a sadistic fuck

who puts no value

on human life,

then shoot me.

'Cause the fact is,

I can't stop you.

But I hope that first

you'll consider

whether or not

it's worth the risk,

especially since

you and I both know

that I have fuck all to do

with what's going on

between you and

your wife.

Are you finished?

Mm-hm.

[Gunshot, glass breaks]

[Laughing]

I scare you?

[Laughs]

I scared you, didn't I?

You want to know what's going on

between me and my wife?

I've been looking

for an excuse to

divorce that bitch

for three years.

And this is exactly what I need.

So, I owe you...

Big time.

You ever need a favor...

and I mean anything...

you get a hold of me.

It's yours.

Actually, there is one thing.

You see my friend?

He owes you ten grand.

I was hoping you might

cancel the debt.

[Mouthing]

Done.

[Sighs]

Loyalty.

I like that.

See? It all works out.

Hi.

Hi.

I've been looking for you.

Can we talk?

You want to go on the roof?

Yeah.

I'll grab my coat.

Is Tony Russo gonna

make you famous?

You were right.

He's a scumbag.

I'm sorry.

So, whatever happened

with you and apple?

Cassie, that was not

supposed to happen that way.

It's all right.

Apple is amazing.

She is.

That's so obvious.

I mean...

Cassie. Cassie.

She's not you.

I'm not... Me.

Not the me that's

in your head, Ryan.

That's not true, Cassie.

Yes, it is.

It's true.

I don't know how to say it.

I'm not done failing yet.

I like my failures.

They make me who I am.

Friends?

Friends, yeah.

You're the best guy

Apple...

Yeah?

Heh. Nothing.

[Music playing]

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

You know what? Um...

I should probably get

these contracts to Derek,

so I'll see you...

I'm right here.

All right, gather round,

everybody.

[Clears throat]

Before we open our doors again,

I'd like to make

one thing very clear.

Last night was

a fuckin' disaster.

You people are

disorganized, pathetic,

and I don't even want to

think about what happened

in my office.

But...

Because of you

and your promotions,

we've made this

the hottest spot in town

for the next five minutes.

Or until I sell it.

Or until the cops find

a reason to shut US down.

Whichever comes first.

So, people...

please try and remember

not to take this time

for granted.

Because you are here.

And trust me

when I tell you this...

that you will never be

this young,

this cool,

this careless,

or this carefree

ever again.

And if you thought

last night was hot,

fuck that. You're gonna

make tonight even hotter.

'Cause this is life, people.

And here we go again.
