American Woman (2018): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript
How long does it take to get to Malibu?
I don't want to be late.
First of all, there's no such thing
as being late in California.
Second, you're still in the tub.
Don't worry. I can be ready in a snap.
I don't know why anyone lives in Malibu.
It's so far away from everything,
and there's no place to park.
This is a big night for me.
Lori Meltzner is one of
the most powerful agents in Hollywood.
Getting invited to this
party is a very big deal.
The last thing I need is
you ruining my chances
of talking to her
by bringing all this negative energy.
Don't worry. I'm sure people
will be paying so much attention
to your amazing personality
and your perky tits, they
won't even notice me.
All right, that's enough.
You two are worse than my girls.
Kathleen, if you have anything
that will calm you down
in that armada of pills you're always
carrying around with you,
I suggest you take it.
And Diana, you're not dull,
but this martyr routine is, so drop it.
I haven't been out by myself in years,
and I barely scraped together
enough money for a babysitter,
so I am ready to have a good time.
Kathleen, get out of
the tub. You're pruning.
Hello.
I did not know there were this many
beautiful people in the world.
Kathleen.
You look lovely.
Thank you.
But where's Greg?
He couldn't make it. He's in New York.
Well, give him my best, if you would.
- I will.
- Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Robert Redford's publicist.
This party just got
60% more interesting.
I told you this was a big deal.
If I play my cards right
and make a good impression with Lori,
then Greg and I go from casting
Hot Wheels commercials
to casting Spielberg movies.
There she is.
Aren't you going to go and talk to her?
You obviously don't know her reputation.
She's a killer. I can't
just walk up to her.
No, I'll have to find
the right moment to make my move.
Excuse me.
You look familiar.
Did we meet at Lori's last party?
I... I don't remember. Did we?
I think so. I'm Terry.
I'm Diana.
Ah, right. Diana.
You know, I had a couple
drinks that night,
so I couldn't remember exactly,
but I knew it was a D.
Would you like to grab a drink?
I'd love to.
Having a drink with a
hot guy I just met.
Why? Because I'm fun.
So are you an actor?
A lawyer. I rep Ryan O'Neal.
He's the one who gets
me into these parties.
- Two vodka gimlets.
- You got it.
That's glamorous.
Yeah, it can be.
I've visited Ryan in London a few times
while he was filming "Barry Lyndon."
Do you know London at all?
Oh, I don't get to travel very much.
My job keeps me pretty busy.
Remind me again what you do.
We don't have to talk about it.
Ah, come on. Tell me.
I want to know.
I work for Figueroa Bank.
I'm a junior loan officer.
- Pretty boring, right?
- Not really.
No, financing's a big
part of the business.
If it wasn't for the banks,
studios wouldn't be able to make movies.
Hey.
Hi.
Ted.
Do we know each other?
No. Oh, this is my
girlfriend, Cassandra.
- Bonnie.
- Grass?
It's super mellow.
Sure. Why not?
You here alone?
- Yes.
- That's cool.
You swing?
Beg your pardon?
Do you swing?
Ted and I were going to go upstairs
to one of the guest bedrooms.
Do you want to join us?
Lori's totally cool about it.
Super mellow.
Candy, there you are.
Oh, my God.
I was looking all over for you.
Please, excuse me.
You saved my life.
I was just propositioned
by a couple from "Dark Shadows."
Bonnie. Bonnie. Bonnie.
What?
I heard about you and Steve.
Oh, you did?
You are so brave to come here.
To a party?
Yes, where everyone can see you.
I could never do that. I
would be too ashamed,
but you were so strong.
Oh, Candy.
Can I tell you something?
Just between us?
Anything.
You're a bitchy busybody.
You've always been a bitchy busybody.
I don't need your pity.
What I need is a drink.
But the thing is, my
branch is on Broadway,
but a lot of people don't even know
about that branch, even though
it's the second-largest
branch in Los Angeles.
Isn't that funny?
Yeah.
You didn't laugh.
Terry?
Deidra. Do you remember me?
I met you here a few weeks ago.
That's right. You're Deidra.
And you're Diana. Whoa.
That is so weird.
- You thought that I was her?
- You kinda look alike.
Well, I don't want to interrupt.
Oh, no, no, no, you're not.
Diana was just telling me about her job.
Oh, what do you do?
I work at a bank.
What about you?
I'm a stewardess for Pan Am.
That's right. Paris to LA,
LA to Bombay. Now I remember.
Do you want to get a drink, Deidra?
I would love to.
Great,
- this party just got a lot better.
- Oh, yeah, really?
Excuse me. I love your dress.
Thank you.
I'm Masha.
That's an interesting name.
It used to be "Marsha,"
but I changed it to Masha
to make it sound more
exotic and memorable.
I'm an actress.
Or at least, I'm trying to be.
Good luck.
I used to act, once upon a time.
Oh, did you do any TV?
I just played a rape victim on "Cannon."
This was back in New York,
before I was married.
Is that all you're going to have?
My boyfriend and I are
spending the weekend at Zuma Beach,
so I want to make sure I
look good in my bikini.
- Hey, this looks amazing.
- Hey.
Bonnie.
Do you two know each other?
We used to be bridge partners.
This is your wife?
I think I'm going to go powder my nose.
Lovely girl. What's her major?
Spare me the smart-ass attitude.
I'm not going to feel bad about this.
Of course you aren't.
Feeling bad would require
you to have a conscience.
No, I tried to reconcile with you,
and you weren't interested.
I don't want to reconcile.
If you want to do something useful,
why don't you help us financially?
Do you know that the girls
and I are barely holding on?
I told you that you weren't
going to be able to go it alone.
Then do something about it.
I can't.
The little money I have
is frozen right now.
But you still manage to afford
a weekend getaway to
Zuma Beach with Masha?
No, we're staying at her
parents' beach house.
So it doesn't cost me anything.
Besides your dignity.
Does she know that you've been
charged with embezzlement?
Actually, does she know how
to spell "embezzlement?"
First of all, it's called fraud,
and it's not funny.
- I could go to jail.
- Aww.
Don't worry, darling.
On your birthday,
I'll bake a file into your cake.
Hey.
Whether you believe it or not,
I still love you.
Have fun at the party, Steven.
Don't keep Masha up past her bedtime.
So we're recording an
album at Sound City.
I know the place has history,
but God, that place is a shit box.
Oh, my God.
You're Judy Maxwell.
That's me.
I... I love your music
Can I have your autograph?
Yeah.
Uh... here.
"To Diana," please.
This is a phone bill.
Sorry, I grabbed my mail on the way out.
It's all I have.
Your album, "Cloud Dreams,"
was everything to me.
I was in love with Mitch Newton,
but he was dating my best friend,
so I would just lock
myself in my bedroom
and listen to "Cloud Dreams."
♪ Cloud dreams ♪
♪ It seems ♪
♪ Made me love you when I had you ♪
♪ Made me miss you in the moonbeams ♪
God.
I would cry for hours.
Oh, thank you so much.
Oh, well, I can't mail it in now, but...
Oh.
There are a lot of drugs at this party.
Someone gave me a Quaalude.
I love ludes. I wrote the entire
"Cloud Dreams" album on ludes.
- You did?
- Yeah.
This one's for you, Mitch.
You'll never know what you missed.
Oh, uh, money is incredibly
dirty and disgusting.
Come on. One line won't kill you.
Hell with it.
Ooh... okay.
Yeah, nice.
What our hearts already know
is that we are all part of the one.
The one is many,
and the many is one.
Dying is an illusion,
and life is a dream state
that represents only one
plane of our existence.
Everyone that I knew who ever died
pretty much stayed dead.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
You came here because you are
seeking the jai, little sparrow...
a victory.
I am. How on Earth did you know that?
The universe speaks to those who listen.
Oh, honey, I'm listening.
Did the universe say
what kind of victory?
Was it a professional
victory, by any chance?
And did Lori Meltzner's
name happen to come up?
You are a viramita.
Viramita?
You are stalled in the karmic flow.
Sorry, but I can't be. Not tonight.
Hey, where'd she go?
Hey, um, is there some kind of
kick in the pants you
can give my "virama,"
or whatever it's called?
There is nothing I can do.
The victory you seek
tonight will elude you,
unless you live in the light.
Your chakra is black.
That sounds bad.
It is.
Shit.
My chakra's black.
What does that mean?
I'm not sure. I think it means
I'm not moving forward with my life.
Do you think that's true?
I don't know.
I've got my own problems. Steve's here.
Is that who he's cheating with?
God damn him.
I thought he'd at least wait
a decent amount of time.
How the hell does he do that?
How does he just forget that
any of it ever happened,
like it doesn't matter?
Do you want to leave?
No.
I'm not going to let him win this.
I just need to use the ladies' room and
pull myself together.
I'll catch up with you later.
Ooh, can you feel that?
Can you feel that groove?
- Diana...
- No, no, no, don't fight it.
It's everywhere.
Dance all night till
the feeling is right.
I need to go talk to Lori.
Ugh. Forget Lori. Forget Lori.
There are people doing
things in these bedrooms
that I did not know were
physically possible.
Do you know how many people
can fit in a bed?
Come look. Come look... they don't mind.
It's quite a view, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Is that the PCH down there?
I think so, yeah.
Mm, I wasn't sure.
Well, if there are any other streets
you're not sure about, just, uh,
let me know.
I'm Bonnie.
Adam.
It's nice to meet you.
Do you, uh,
work in the business?
My friend does.
What about you?
I'm a painter.
Really?
Might I have seen your work somewhere?
I don't know.
How much of the house have you seen?
Most of these paintings are mine.
Really?
These?
These are beautiful.
Not that I know anything about art.
Nobody does. But, uh,
Lori buys a lot of my stuff.
Think she likes the idea
of having a starving
artist at her parties.
Speaks to her bohemian side.
I can understand why she'd
find that attractive.
Oh, shit!
I'm so sorry.
- Oh.
- I got it.
- Really, it's, uh...
- Here.
Hey, it's fine, please. I, uh,
I'm going to try and get
some water on this.
Streisand's not going to
do that picture, Jimmy.
She's not interested.
She's making a mistake, Lori.
You gotta talk to her,
tell her she's wrong.
You forgot to say "and then duck."
Where are all the goddamn cigarettes?
May I?
Uh-oh. Cigarette girl,
wandering through the crowd
at just the right moment.
Parties are getting
classier all the time.
You don't know me, Ms. Meltzner.
Yeah, I know that.
I'm Kathleen Callahan.
It is very nice to meet you.
May I have a bottle of
club soda and a towel?
And a shot of vodka.
Yeah.
Okay.
Here. Let me help you with that.
It's fine. I, uh...
- I think...
- Uh-huh.
The shirt is done.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to come on so strong.
I've just had a really strange night.
Do you ever feel like you just woke up
in someone else's life?
Are you kidding? This is Hollywood.
I feel like that every single day.
It was my fault.
I was a little thrown when
you made the first move,
'cause I'm from Nebraska,
and that is not the way
things work back there.
I think I'm out of practice
when it comes to meeting men.
Hell, I've been married so long,
I don't know if I ever knew how.
Oh, you're, uh...
you're married.
Well, I was.
We're breaking up.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Actually, I'm not.
Maybe it would be better
if we just started all over?
Hi. My name is Bonnie.
My name's Adam.
So, Kathleen, the cigarette queen.
Tell me a little about yourself.
Me? I work in casting.
That's funny. I know everybody,
but I don't know you. Why is that?
Well, I just opened my own agency.
Mm. So what studio were
you doing casting for
before you opened your own office?
I'm doing it with my boyfriend,
and he worked for Paramount.
What about you?
Nowhere.
I've never done this before.
So you don't know
anything about casting?
No, but I'm a fast learner,
and I pick things up real quick.
Well, good luck with that, honey.
They're going to eat you alive out here.
Is that it?
If you're going to make it in this town,
you're going to need some balls.
Do you know how many times Robert Evans
made me cry before I told
him to go screw himself?
Once.
You got a card?
Yes, I do.
Thank you for taking the
time to talk to me.
I don't want to keep
you from your friends.
Oh, honey, these people
aren't my friends.
In this business, you
can't afford friends,
because sooner or later,
they're going to cost you.
What the hell is that?

Terry! Terry!
You're an asshole.
You know that? And Deidra,
you're not pretty.
No, you are pretty. You're beautiful.
But I work at a bank.
And I'm not ashamed of that.
You know, 'cause without banks,
where would all you
people put your money?
I protect your money
from the bank robbers.
Who's this crazy bitch
and why is she on my goddamn roof?
And I'm funny.
Everybody at work says so.
I made Jan laugh.
Jan's deaf!
She has two hearing aids.
That's not boring!
You know what else isn't boring?
This!
Diana...
Every time I have a party,
I have to drain the goddamn pool.
Ugh...
Here.
Put this on.
It's freezing out here.
Kathleen, you're here.
And you're taking care of me.
Just like a fairy godmother.
Is she with you?
Yes.
She's my friend.
Now that takes balls.
Oof.
I should probably go
and find my friends.
- Can I get your number?
- Oh.
I don't know if I should do that.
Well, let me give you mine.
Just in case you, uh,
wake up in somebody else's life again.
Bye.
Bye.
I don't want to be late.
First of all, there's no such thing

Do you, uh,
work in the business?
My friend does.
What about you?
I'm a painter.
Really?
Might I have seen your work somewhere?
I don't know.
How much of the house have you seen?
Most of these paintings are mine.
Really?
These?
These are beautiful.
Not that I know anything about art.
Nobody does. But, uh,
Lori buys a lot of my stuff.
Think she likes the idea
of having a starving
artist at her parties.
Speaks to her bohemian side.
I can understand why she'd
find that attractive.
Oh, shit!
I'm so sorry.
- Oh.
- I got it.
- Really, it's, uh...
- Here.
Hey, it's fine, please. I, uh,
I'm going to try and get
some water on this.
Streisand's not going to
do that picture, Jimmy.
She's not interested.
She's making a mistake, Lori.
You gotta talk to her,
tell her she's wrong.
You forgot to say "and then duck."
Where are all the goddamn cigarettes?
May I?
Uh-oh. Cigarette girl,
wandering through the crowd
at just the right moment.
Parties are getting
classier all the time.
You don't know me, Ms. Meltzner.
Yeah, I know that.
I'm Kathleen Callahan.
It is very nice to meet you.
May I have a bottle of
club soda and a towel?
And a shot of vodka.
Yeah.
Okay.
Here. Let me help you with that.
It's fine. I, uh...
- I think...
- Uh-huh.
The shirt is done.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to come on so strong.
I've just had a really strange night.
Do you ever feel like you just woke up
in someone else's life?
Are you kidding? This is Hollywood.
I feel like that every single day.
It was my fault.
I was a little thrown when
you made the first move,
'cause I'm from Nebraska,
and that is not the way
things work back there.
I think I'm out of practice
when it comes to meeting men.
Hell, I've been married so long,
I don't know if I ever knew how.
Oh, you're, uh...
you're married.
Well, I was.
We're breaking up.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Actually, I'm not.
Maybe it would be better
if we just started all over?
Hi. My name is Bonnie.
My name's Adam.
So, Kathleen, the cigarette queen.
Tell me a little about yourself.
Me? I work in casting.
That's funny. I know everybody,
but I don't know you. Why is that?
Well, I just opened my own agency.
Mm. So what studio were
you doing casting for
before you opened your own office?
I'm doing it with my boyfriend,
and he worked for Paramount.
What about you?
Nowhere.
I've never done this before.
So you don't know
anything about casting?
No, but I'm a fast learner,
and I pick things up real quick.
Well, good luck with that, honey.
They're going to eat you alive out here.
Is that it?
If you're going to make it in this town,
you're going to need some balls.
Do you know how many times Robert Evans
made me cry before I told
him to go screw himself?
Once.
You got a card?
Yes, I do.
Thank you for taking the
time to talk to me.
I don't want to keep
you from your friends.
Oh, honey, these people
aren't my friends.
In this business, you
can't afford friends,
because sooner or later,
they're going to cost you.
What the hell is that?

Terry! Terry!
You're an asshole.
You know that? And Deidra,
you're not pretty.
No, you are pretty. You're beautiful.
But I work at a bank.
And I'm not ashamed of that.
You know, 'cause without banks,
where would all you
people put your money?
I protect your money
from the bank robbers.
Who's this crazy bitch
and why is she on my goddamn roof?
And I'm funny.
Everybody at work says so.
I made Jan laugh.
Jan's deaf!
She has two hearing aids.
That's not boring!
You know what else isn't boring?
This!
Diana...
Every time I have a party,
I have to drain the goddamn pool.
Ugh...
Here.
Put this on.
It's freezing out here.
Kathleen, you're here.
And you're taking care of me.
Just like a fairy godmother.
Is she with you?
Yes.
She's my friend.
Now that takes balls.
Oof.
I should probably go
and find my friends.
- Can I get your number?
- Oh.
I don't know if I should do that.
Well, let me give you mine.
Just in case you, uh,
wake up in somebody else's life again.
Bye.
Bye.
