The L.A. Complex (2012): Season 2, Episode 3 - Choose Your Battles - full transcript

Previously on
The L.A. Complex...

I'm Jenn by the way.

I want to hire you
to be my boyfriend.

You really think that
I should do this?

Jennifer bell can have
the fake you.

I get the real one.

I'm pregnant and I don't know
what to do about it.

Are you his sister or his agent?

I'm whatever he needs me to be.

Does that mean we're staying?

For now.



Uh, what-what are you doing?!

I'm with Abby.
We're living together.

Is now a good time to...

Get out! Get out!

Go, go, go, go!

We've been on this
show for six years-

playing Christian America's

favourite brother and sister.

- And Donald-
- Is a psychopath.

If he finds
out the Donovan twins

are banging each other,
we're done.

My lips are sealed.

Shake on it?

We actually can't afford
both of you,



so whoever's not funny
enough I'll just fire.

You're a dead man, Wagner.

You told me you loved me.

I do love you.

Look at my face.

Just tell me what I need to do.

I never want to see you again.

Yo, kal... it's time.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the legend himself,

the messiah of hip hop,

- ready to take back his crown-

Mr. kaldrick king!

How are you doin'?
What's up?

All right, now we
don't have a lot of time

so we're gonna get right to it.

First question.

What separates
the artist from the man?

I'm sorry, can you
repeat that question?

What separates the
artist from the man?

Who's the real kaldrick king?

No wonder she didn't come home.

Is something wrong?

No, just give me a sec, I...

Is that a tooth?

You know what I
like about you, Rick?

Sorry.
I was trying to be quiet.

Well, why didn't you
come home last night?

I'm sorry about that.
I just lost track of time.

Well, who were you out with?

The two leads.

Yeah, I just had a really
a weird and stressful day,

but my role could turn
into something bigger

if they like me,

so I have to spend as much
time with them as I can.

I really needed you last night.

Well, why didn't you text me?

It wasn't really a text thing.

I'm kinda losing my
mind over this job.

Why?

Well, it turns out it's not
for sure anymore.

Now it's like a competition

between me and this other writer.

Who?

Just, uh, some writer.

Nick, you're gonna win.
Everyone always loves you.

Well, I dunno.
Paul doesn't really like me,

and I just can't seem
to get comfortable-

And...

I'm just
kinda freaking out a little

and I'd love to talk
to my girlfriend about it!

I'm so sorry.

Can we please talk
about this later?

I just can't be late again.

Sure.

What?

Sure!

Why are you yelling at me?

I don't have a choice!

Forget it.
They can figure it out

when I get there.
I have to go.

Okay?

Yeah, go, fine.

Why are you so upset?

Well, where were you?

You went out all night
with God knows who.

I say I need to talk to you

and then you just run
out the door again.

We live together.

This isn't how
it's supposed to be.

I'm late for work.
What do you want from me?

How about more than
5 minutes of your time.

Look, you said you wanted
a relationship with me

and then you don't come home
until the morning.

Where are we?

I can't deal with this
right now, okay?

Have a good day.

You kinda killed any chance
of that, but thanks.

God, how much
make-up do you wear?

I was done hours ago.

You had an earlier call time.

I'm also a natural beauty.

Oh, is that why
your bathroom's full

of all those creams
and concealers?

Those are all natural.

Uh-huh.

Thanks for pulling some strings

and finally getting
me on your dumb show.

You're welcome.

I'm just glad we get a chance
to spend some time together.

Plus I thought it would
ease the sting

of that whole
cactibear situation.

Well, you're a good boyfriend.

Boyfriend, huh?

I think I like
the sound of that.

So, are you nervous?

You didn't get a lot
of time to prepare.

Oh, please.

Just watch a real actor
practice her craft.

A real actor
and a natural beauty.

It is strange
you don't work more.

I've worked plenty, rookie.

Hey, guys.

Last minute revision
for the walk and talk.

R-revisions?
This is a whole rewrite.

Yeah.
Blocking in 5.

Hey.

They can't just front light
a mug like yours.

We'll have plenty of time.

We'll just run it until
we have it, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Still gonna mop the floor with you.

Your gown's open.

Okay, little mama.

I hear you callin' here
with your sexy voice on.

Why don't go and send me a picture,

so I could see what the
rest of that look like.

All right, all right.

I bet you get a lot
of that too, huh, yeah?

All right, girl,
thank you for your call.

We appreciate it.
Up next up we got lil Dex.

Yo, what you think
about what infinite's sayin about you

on his mixtape?

Who?

Infinite jest.
Youngster.

Yeah, him and his crew's
all over YouTube, bro.

Yeah, never heard of him.

He says you're a
bitch and you went soft!

You gonna come back at him?

How'm I supposed to come
back at somebody

I never heard of?
Where's this kid again?

The Internet?

Yo, jest ain't no joke.
He's crazy, man, he-

yo, whatever. Man.

If this little dude wanna
throw rocks at the throne

tell him to take a number.

Yo, matter fact,
have him call my label.

I think we got some
openings in the mail room.

All right, next caller.

We got my man Walter.
Walter, you there?

Yes, I'm here.

You got a question for the king?

Hello, kaldrick.

Wha'sup?

I wondered what your
thoughts were on redemption.

Redemption?
You sellin' bibles?

Do you believe
in second chances?

Do you believe in change?

What kind of change
we talkin', man?

Fives? Tens?

Yo, rook, throw my wallet.

If you ever change your mind,

the 19th street mission
is always there for you.

- Any time you want-
- Okay, okay!

We're gonna save the
sermons for Sunday school.

I'm sorry, king, man,
we try to stop the crazy,

but sometimes they leak
through anyway.

It's all good.

Crazy people got
questions too, man.

True 'nuff, true 'nuff.

All right, movin' right along.
Next caller.

John are you there?

Oh my God, king!
I'm your biggest fan!

So, I was hoping that we
could use these pictures

our friends did for us,

and I really don't think
that needs the classes.

I mean, he's already been
booking gigs and stuff so...

I can't use these.

Excuse me?

People are very picky
about headshots

and these aren't gonna cut it.

But I don't see the big difference
between Simon's pictures and these.

Well, honey, that's why you're
on that side of the desk.

Right.

Okay.

It's just 'cause, to me-

Beth, don't.

Cute kid, bright
shirt, big smile.

Cute kid, bright shirt, big smile.

She probably knows
what she's talking about.

The only difference I can see
between this and these

is that you don't make
600 bucks off of ours.

Am I close?

Can I come sit on that
side of the desk now?

I don't have time for this.

Tell me one difference.
I dare you.

She's joking.
It's not a real dare.

I'm not joking!

There are a thousand kids

who are willing to do
exactly as I ask.

You want to know the difference?

Those kids are represented
by this agency.

This one never will be.

Look, we're really,
really sorry.

Simon, come on.

Simon!

It was nice meeting you.

Why is doctor
mehta listed is my lead physician?

What are you
doing out of bed, Margaret?

If that clot dislodges
from your arterial wall

you won't make it to
the operating table.

But Patrick, I thought you
were performing my surgery!

This is the whole reason
I came to St. Luke's!

I can't operate on you,
Margaret, I'm sorry.

Can't or won't?

Look, do I understand
why you left? Yes.

Do I think we're any good
together? No.

Have I moved on?

Of course I have.

But I still have feelings
for you, Margaret.

You calling the wedding off
didn't change that.

Patrick-

I can't do this right now.
I have to go tell a little boy

that the pain in his stomach
isn't appendicitis.

Please, just...
Leave me alone.

And cut!

Nailed it!

Nice work, guys.

Thank you.
You're saving my ass today!

All right, moving on!

You're really good.

That was kind of hot.

Yeah?

I can get a lot hotter.
Where's your trailer?

That was great!

Jennifer.

Hey, I had a meeting on the lot.

I thought I'd stop by.
You really great!

Hi, I'm Jennifer.

This is... this is Raquel.

She's, um, one of the other
actors today.

This is Jennifer.

My-my girlfriend.

Girlfriend?
I like the sound of that.

♪ Lord, lord,
it's tearing us apart ♪

♪ The way the love is holding
on to your heart... ♪

Unprofessional?!

I'd like to see her
photographer pull off

a shallow depth of field like this.

It's a scam, kev.
Nothing to do with the photos.

Dude, look at it!

They could literally use this
shot to teach the rule of thirds!

He's not listening.

I don't know what to do.

How about don't
yell at the people

who are trying to help us!

Just shut up and play
with your noodle.

The adults are talking.

"Adults." Right.

Have you tried the
breakdown services?

Not yet.

Is it 'cause you don't know
what I'm talkin' about?

Maybe.

Okay.
Whenever there's an audition,

casting agents send out
a breakdown, all right?

"Looking for a kid,
under 5 feet,"

needs to jump rope,
that sort of thing.

Right.

It's only supposed
to go to agents,

but there's a lot of websites

that actually post it illegally.

Really?
That's great!

Yeah, it's only like
15 bucks a month.

You put in your credit
card information,

you cut out the middleman.

I don't have a credit card.

I'll put in mine and
then you pay me back.

It's not like I don't
know where you live.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Thank you!
Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Yup.

Yeah, uh, all right.

We're supposed to be
restructuring act one, man.

It'll just take a second.

Okay.
Okay.

I need to get into this.

Good morning.
Super-fun last night.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

I'm just nervous
about this scene.

Why are good actresses
always such terrible liars?

You're lying to me.

Just stand a little closer

like you're going to do
for camera please?

Seriously.
What's up?

Nick and I got in a fight
this morning.

He was mad because
I stayed out so late.

Sorry about that.

It's not your fault.

Closer please.

Well, kinda it is.
I didn't want you to leave.

You're just too much fun,
Abby vargas.

All right, let's try one.

Roll.

And action!

This isn't about what
my dad believes, Veronica.

This is about what I believe.

You must think I'm such a slut.

I like you.
I like you a lot,

but we gotta take
things slow, okay?

Cut!

Oh, did I-

yes, you did.

I'm so sorry!

I'm not used to pretend kissing.

Abby, a word?

In private.

Good luck.

My sister used to
call shampoo "hair poo".

That's pretty funny.

Is that like something
that is in Australia?

No, no, it was just a...

So how'd you-
how'd you two kids meet?

Mmm...
How'd we-

our agents set us up.

Um, he thought that
Connor would be great

for a movie I'm developing.

It was supposed to be
a 15 minute meet-and-greet.

Next thing I knew
it was the morning.

Well, isn't that best?

You know, that... that organic,
real, instant chemistry.

I've never felt
anything like it.

Well, he's clearly smitten.
Look at him!

How long have you been
an actress?

A little while.

Anything I would
have seen you in?

Apparently not.

Raquel was in that show-

oh, there it is!

What's this for?

Happy Birthday.

It's your-your birthday.

I didn't know
it was your birthday.

Why would you?

Okay, so this is from
a really healthy bakery.

There's no refined sugar
or oils or shortenings.

And don't let this
freak you out,

but it's made with tofu,

low fat buttermilk
and apple sauce.

It's really good!

Yum! So lucky!

Could you grab a knife?

Yes, I was just about to.

Mmm.
It's good, right?

Healthy.

Put another track on.

Okay, what aren't you feelin'?

I'm not a producer, am I?!

Well, I am the producer!

What's the problem, kal?

Man, the problem is...

All the beats he's
given me is whack!

Whack?

You know what?
I'd give you somethin' else,

but I'm all out of interns.

- What'd you say?!
- What you gonna do?

Knock me out?

I ain't a kid, kal.

I'm done.

- Come on, kal.
- Leave me alone!

Man, we're pushin' him.

He ain't ready.

He just needs a
second, all right?

Man, you think it's smart to
ever leave that man alone?

Ever?

He's wastin' my time, man.

I'll be right back.

Yo king!

Yo kal!

Yo, hold up, man.

Whatcha wanna do, man?

You wanna drop this?

Move on to the interview with spin?

Yo, talk to me, man.
Whatcha wanna do?

I just need to get home

and not think about anything
right now, okay?

I need to get away from this.

All right, okay.
We could do that.

We'll just push everything back.

You know what I'm sayin'?

One more day won't hurt, right?

And we'll just pick
this all up tomorrow.

Yeah, tomorrow.

Hey, can we, uh,
I just wanted...

We got sorta interrupted
yesterday and I just...

Okay, look.

If it wasn't for Abby
I totally...

I like you a lot,
but I just... because I'm...

I just need to focus
on me and her, okay?

Is that-that okay?
No hard feelings?

What the hell is this?

I don't uh...

Ew.

"Dear Scott...
Much soul-searching..."

Have come to the decision
that comedy is not for me...

Please understand this
was a tough decision,

but I have to follow my heart.

Please accept this letter
as my official resignation.

"Adieu, Nick Wagner?!"

This is not-!
Scott, I didn't write this!

I swear! I don't-

First of all I don't
sign my name

with a heart over the 'I'.
I'm not...

This is amazing, amazing!

Very funny.
I am gonna keep this on file

in case you want to follow
your heart later.

I was wondering
who sprinkles glitter

on their resignation letter?!

Ha ha ha.

Yeah, fun and games, right?

Hard feelings, Nick,
hard feelings.

Rook, what is all this, man?

Yo, I made a few calls.
I put the word out.

I said I wanted to get
away from everything.

You know, I hear you.
You need an escape.

So punch out for a few hours.

I mean, what's the sense
of all this hustle

if we can't enjoy ourselves, right?

That's you.

Thank you.

So, how'd it go with Donald?

I'm at two strikes.

One for the nipples, now this...

Ouch.

Yeah, apparently
I'm an old testament kisser,

And he wants me to
be a new testament kisser.

Oh, sorry about that.

I should have warned you.

Don't worry.
I'm gonna talk to him,

smooth it over.
He listens to me, so.

Seriously, that'd be great.

All right, let's make one.

Hey, um, I was thinkin',

you should call your
boyfriend and apologize.

I thought it was your fault
that I stayed out late.

You should apologize.

But I'm a big believer
in doin' whatever it is

to make things right.

I'm been in enough of these
fights with Laura to know:

Now you didn't come
home last night,

regardless of who said
what, he's gonna win.

All right, let's roll.

Quiet.

Settle... and action.

This isn't about what my
dad believes, Veronica.

This is about what I believe.

You must think I'm such a slut.

I like you.
I like you a lot,

but we gotta take
things slow, okay?

Cut! There.

You see? Perfect.

Good one, buddy.

Moving on.

Just admit it.
You erased my hard drive.

Computers crash, Nick.
It happens all the time.

This isn't...

You have to stop this.
You're not playing fair.

Oh, Nick, you're
in the big-boy world now

and sometimes things in
the big-boy world aren't fair.

Listen-

Scott's gonna fire one of us.
You realize that, right?

Yes, I-

So, if you don't
think I'm gonna use

every trick in the book
to keep this job,

you're not only crazy,

but you should probably
quit right now.

You know that nothing you
do will ever make me quit.

You got that?

So just focus on the work

and stop playing
these mind games.

Fine.

Oh, man, I forgot
Scott's animal fries.

What?

Did you order Scott's animal fries?

No, I didn't.
It's not on the list...

Never mind.
I'll go get them.

Scott said it was important.

Nah, I don't think so!

I'm getting' the animal fries,
all right?

I am gonna get Scott's
precious animal fries...

Oh, wait I don't have my-

Wallet.

My cell phone.

Great.

Margaret!

Patrick.

It's okay.
You're gonna be okay.

You're a better doctor than that.

I should have stayed.

Built a family.

Stay with me now.

I love you.

It's always been you.

I love you too.

Cut! Check it!

Almost believed you there.

I'm a really good actor.

Gate's good.
Moving on!

Connor, I-

You guys are so great together!

Think they'll bring me back?

You never know.

I'm going.
You want to walk me out?

Sure.

Nice working with you.

You too.

Hi, uh, we're here
for my brother's audition.

No kidding?
What's his name?

Simon pirelli.

He might not be on the list.

Did your agent confirm you?

I was hoping that
you could just-

did your agent confirm
you or not?

What does that mean?

She for sure confirmed us.

What's the name of your agent?

Alison woodridge.

She called last minute
and said just to come over

and that she would talk to you.

Nobody talked to me,

and if he's not on the list,
he doesn't audition.

I'm sorry, Simon.

But the lady's not gonna let you in.

But...

I worked so hard!

I know.

Can you just give
him two minutes.

There's nothing I can do.

Told you it wouldn't work.
Now what?

Come on.

It's all good.

Where's he at?
Where's he at?

Hey, yo, king!
You know who I am now?

You selling chocolates?

Man, that's funny.

'Cause last time I checked
you was a sell out, bitch.

I'm infinite jest.
We here for real.

Fine, man, you're real.
Here have a drink.

I don't want no drink!

Let's go. Let's go right now.
You and me.

Come on.

You want a piece of me?

You shoulda brought
some more of your boys.

Look, I ain't here to fight,
all right?

I'm here to battle.

You are the king, right?

Defend your title.

Defend what and to who?

You a scared little bitch.

Yeah, go and run back
to the playground, kid.

that's gonna get fired today?

Come again?

I confirm my client,
Simon pirelli, with you people,

and you won't let him audition?!

He wasn't on the list.
I was told that-

Honey?

That's why I'm sitting at
my desk in Beverly hills

and you're working reception
in Burbank!

Get Amy on the phone!

I'm sorry.
We just have a policy...

A policy to be awful
to children?

You know, people like you

are everything that is wrong
with this business.

If I wasn't so busy today,
I would come down there and-

too far! Too far!

You know what?
I am done talking to you.

Put Amy on.

Oh, uh, you know what?
I...

Sam pirelli.

Simon.

Simon, that's right.
We had him on the wrong list.

Our intern must have
made a mistake.

Don't blame your screw-ups
on someone else.

I'm sending them back.

Yes, absolute-

We're in.
I told you it would work!

You told a lie.

You told a bunch of lies.

You're welcome.
Let's go.

Nick, why so sweaty?

I think you know the
answer to that, Sabrina.

She said you got your
period and went home to change.

No, she abandoned
me at the in-n-out.

She's tryin' to keep
me out of the room.

You know, tryin' to sabotage me.

I had to walk here!

I could have been raped
or shot with a gun.

That's hilarious, Sabrina.

Nick, nobody likes
a tattle-tale.

What? But she-
ah ah.

We've been writing
desk pieces all day.

Paul wants us to pitch
him ten each tomorrow.

Ten?!

Is that going to be a problem?

No.

I'm on it.

All righty then!
See you tomorrow.

To the bar!

- Have a good night.
- Thanks.

Yeah, we're going to a bar.

You want me to bring
you back anything?

I rather drink gasoline.

Okay, well, then you're
gonna need these.

Yo, man, I had that
locked for a reason!

Yeah, and I got a key for a reason.

So now I can't take a leak
without you holding my hand?

Well, I mean, I ain't gonna
hold your hand, but...

No, you can't.
Not right now.

Rook...

This ain't necessary.

Yo, I'll decide
what's necessary.

Yo, you know I had to get
at that infinite kid, right?

Otherwise-I know.

I know.

So we good?

I don't know.

Can I take a leak without
you watching me?

Come on, man!

I mean, what I'm a do?

Don't front like you ain't already

went through all these drawers

and got rid of all the razors already.

You got two minutes.

Two minutes?
Yes, sir, warden, sir!

You know you lucky
I love you, man.

Yo, k?

No problem.

Oh, can I have one too?

You almost wrapped?

Almost wrapped, yes.

Where's your Mom?
Did she have to go home

make your lunch for tomorrow?

Yes, Jennifer left.
Thank you.

I'm sorry about that.

Let me take you out
for your birthday.

You forgot my birthday.

How was I supposed to know?

The Internet.
It's on the Internet.

Ooh. Right.

Well, now I know

and have all this
top-of-show money

burning a hole in my pocket.

So, let me take you out.
Yeah, um...

Listen, I also want to talk
to you about something-

Jennifer's taking me out.

Why?
She already brought you

that disgusting
applesauce cake for lunch.

They've arranged for a paparazzi

to find us at some
out of the way place.

It's our first photo-op.

Right.

Connor?

I'm sorry.
You okay?

Yeah, it's fine.
I'll see you at home.

Yeah, you just tell me
whatever you need to then.

Okay.

Okay.

You want somethin'?

Come on.
Everybody wants somethin'.

Well, how about
a few bucks then?

Hey-why is that chick

you banged answering your phone?!

What?

I called you today
and Sabrina picked up.

Are you screwing her?!

No! No!
She's screwing me.

Not, not in a... like that...
In a... but in a work way.

We're screwing at work.

She's screwing me at work
in a work way.

It's-she's the one
I'm competing with, okay?

Why wouldn't you tell me that?

When?!

Last night when
you didn't come home

or this morning when you
didn't want to talk about it?

I told you,
I went out with the cast.

Okay, working there is like
walking though a minefield-

and we're back to talking about you!

Okay, look, I'm sorry, okay?

I should have told
you about Sabrina.

I just... I wanted
to actually sit down-

I was an idiot.

I don't know what I was
thinking and I'm sorry.

We rushed this.

What?

We moved to fast because
I needed a place to live.

Wait, just hold on a second.

I have a little cash now,

maybe I should just
get my own room.

So, what, you're gonna
breaking up with me?

No, no, I'm just saying that
we should slow down...

A lot.

That sounds like breaking up.

Are you having fun?

Relationships are supposed
to be fun, right?

Okay, this is stupid.

We just need some time
to actually sit down and talk.

Well, where are you
gonna sleep tonight?

I'll figure something out.
I always do.

Abby...

I'll pick up the rest later.

Thanks.

For everything.

Abby...

Dowbiggin casting.

Hi, this is Simon
pirelli's sister.

I was just wondering if you guys

had made a decision about-

You don't call us.

If he books the part
we call your agent.

No, I know I-

We didn't call.
He didn't get it.

Oh. I just thought-

So look...

You didn't book this one.

Okay.

It's okay to be angry, you know.

It's-it's actually-
it's healthy to let it out.

I don't feel that bad.

Simon, it's okay to be mad.

It's okay to be really, really mad!

I think this is just
how it all works, Beth.

We gotta go on a lot
of these things

before I book something.

A lot of them?

What, this is gonna be
like a full time job?

Yeah, you didn't realize that?

Oh, I'll get it.

Oh, hey guys, what's up?

Hey.

They gave us too much Chinese.

Yeah, they overcharged us too.

Just thought you
might wanna, you know...

No pressure.

Yeah, no.

Do you guys wanna come in?

Well, we were gonna
go to the kurosawa-thing

at the arclight tonight.

Love to.

Cool.

Oh my God, it smells so good!

Yeah, right?

You guys have noodles?

You okay?

I'm fine, thank you.

Did you get locked out
or something?

No, I just want to sleep
under the stars.

'Kay.

Oh God!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You don't seem fine.

I'm okay, all right?

What's the matter?

I just got my period, okay?

Thought mine were bad.

Is it your birthday?!

No.

That's a nice touch.

It's cute, huh?

Happy Birthday, Connor.
