1. A hummingbird smiled at me
on my walk this morning.Copy !req
2. In small pleasures such as this,
I'm reminded of the presence of the Lord.Copy !req
3. - As you ought.
- And yet...Copy !req
4. - No.
- Out with it, Sister Marguerite.Copy !req
5. To hesitate is to waste time,Copy !req
6. which is a sin when time
could be elsewise spent in prayer,Copy !req
7. or handwashing Monsignor Toscani's
1962 Alfa Romeo,Copy !req
8. which is itself a form of prayer,
is it not?Copy !req
9. Of course. Yet I find myself consumed
by thoughts of my past.Copy !req
10. You have no past. You've confessed.Copy !req
11. Your sins have been washed clean.Copy !req
12. This is like day one stuff,
what are we talking about here?Copy !req
13. The people I've hurt,
the lives I've ruined,Copy !req
14. are they washed clean as well?Copy !req
15. Your regrets are of no benefit
to the Lord.Copy !req
16. Ruminating so is a solipsism unbefitting
a sister of the cloth.Copy !req
17. Is it solipsism to be concerned
with the fates of others?Copy !req
18. Perhaps one could argue
cloistering oneself from the worldCopy !req
19. is itself a form of solipsism.Copy !req
20. If one were being ungenerous.Copy !req
21. Remember when you first arrived here
and you didn't talk for like two years?Copy !req
22. I will trouble you no further, Mother.Copy !req
23. Lord, how you challenge me
with so vexing a pupil.Copy !req
24. - Hmm?Copy !req
25. What dereliction is this?Copy !req
26. When you get to Heaven,
look up Margo Martindale!Copy !req
27. I won't be there, but my movies will!Copy !req
28. I wanna know what's changed
since the strike.Copy !req
29. Are assistants treated better or have
things reverted to business as usual?Copy !req
30. Yeah, give me ten inches.
I also want a roast beef sub.Copy !req
31. - Six inches.Copy !req
32. - Paige Sinclair is on her way up.
- Ah, shit.Copy !req
33. She's the best reporter
this building's ever seen,Copy !req
34. but, goddamn,
is that woman a pain in the ass.Copy !req
35. Colleagues!Copy !req
36. Your eyes do not deceive!Copy !req
37. You may find my gown overly formal
for the workplace,Copy !req
38. but that is because I am, as of todayCopy !req
39. formerly a member
of this vaulted institution.Copy !req
40. As I'm to be wed tonightCopy !req
41. and the newsroom is no room
for a domesticated woman,Copy !req
42. - I bid you farewell.Copy !req
43. Okay, goodbye.Copy !req
44. Yes, mine was a storied run
as the star reporter for "The Reporter."Copy !req
45. "Front Page Paige," they called me!Copy !req
46. - Well, we'll miss you, Paige.
- Indeed.Copy !req
47. My shoes don't fill easy,Copy !req
48. my left foot striking a more robust
silhouette than her starboard sister.Copy !req
49. But I cannot prolong my engagement.Copy !req
50. After all, time, as they say,
is a river without banks.Copy !req
51. Time may not have banks,
but this periodical certainly does.Copy !req
52. Maximillian Banks, at my service!Copy !req
53. Maximilian Banks.Copy !req
54. I may lack your nose for news,
but I've got an eyeball for a highball!Copy !req
55. Why, this man couldn't
string together two clausesCopy !req
56. without ending on a preposition.Copy !req
57. I don't know what you're referring to.Copy !req
58. You could fill a library
with all the things you don't know.Copy !req
59. In fact, they do.
They call them libraries.Copy !req
60. Guys, we're trying to work here.Copy !req
61. No matter, I shan't be staying.Copy !req
62. My sweet betrothed, Baxter Bellamy,Copy !req
63. awaits with champagne
to chauffeur me directly to my nuptials,Copy !req
64. and I didn't think I'd visit long,Copy !req
65. so I left him in the car
with the windows up.Copy !req
66. Good, I've got business
to attend to as well.Copy !req
67. I'll have you know it's almost time
for my mid-morning confabulationCopy !req
68. with a former stage mother to the stars,
Mrs. Carol Himmelfarb-Richardson.Copy !req
69. You've been taking those phone calls?Copy !req
70. Yes, she is as loony as a Canadian dollar,Copy !req
71. but she is a scintillating
conversationalist.Copy !req
72. Oh? What about the conversation
scintillates?Copy !req
73. She calls every day to see if we have
any information on her dead daughter.Copy !req
74. - The answer's always no.
- Sounds like a scoop.Copy !req
75. It's not. It's a pop star who overdosed.
Open-and-shut case.Copy !req
76. - All the better for opening and shutting.
- Why do you have that?Copy !req
77. Baxter, my boy,
my dear sweet beautiful bridegroom,Copy !req
78. best put the champagne on ice.Copy !req
79. I've got a story that simply demands
my attentionCopy !req
80. and I just couldn't marry you
before it's settled.Copy !req
81. I'd only be distracted,
which isn't fair to you or me.Copy !req
82. Oh, darling, I've already committed
to being your wife.Copy !req
83. What, you need to hear a few measly words?Copy !req
84. Well, "I do." Does that satisfy?Copy !req
85. I do, I do, I do,Copy !req
86. and I do want you
to wait for me to ring you again shortly.Copy !req
87. I knew you'd understand.Copy !req
88. Oh. Mm!Copy !req
89. Now, as to the girl.
I smell beans. Spill 'em.Copy !req
90. The girl's name was Sharon Lynn.Copy !req
91. It's Sarah Lynn.Copy !req
92. Hmm...Copy !req
93. Did you ever notice that this music video
takes place in a planetarium,Copy !req
94. - and Sarah Lynn died in a planetarium?
- Huh.Copy !req
95. - Uh... Hey, Tawnie.Copy !req
96. Are we going to this party?Copy !req
97. I didn't come all the way down
to ManhattanCopy !req
98. to just watch you watch your boyfriendCopy !req
99. be on the internet
at his parents' fancy house.Copy !req
100. Don't parent-shame him, Hollyhock.Copy !req
101. It's not Trey's fault he grew up
in an Upper Westside brownstone.Copy !req
102. Also, I'm not her boyfriend.
We're uncomplicated like that.Copy !req
103. Come on! We're missing the party.Copy !req
104. What? No. If we show up before 2:00,
everyone's gonna think we're losers.Copy !req
105. Fine. But can't we do something else
while we wait?Copy !req
106. Let's explore the city!Copy !req
107. The Big Apple.Copy !req
108. There she is.Copy !req
109. Apparently, there's a bar around here
called Hartigan's.Copy !req
110. My cousin and his friends call it
"They-Don't-Cardigan's." I don't get it.Copy !req
111. Wow, a real New York bar.
That could be cool.Copy !req
112. Yeah, a bar! But how often are we
in New York?Copy !req
113. Let's go to the top
of the Empire State Building,Copy !req
114. like the big ape
in that movie, Sleepless in Seattle!Copy !req
115. All right! Big building!Copy !req
116. Lord, we thank You for this bounty— Ella?Copy !req
117. That place you sent me didn't fix me.Copy !req
118. Because I am not a thing to be fixed,
Daddy.Copy !req
119. Have a seat. We're havin' bacon-blasted
chicken fingers from Chicken-4-Dayz.Copy !req
120. I'm not staying. I'm going to a place
where the people accept me.Copy !req
121. You sit your ass in that chair, Ella,
because that place is right here.Copy !req
122. Oh, Daddy!Copy !req
123. That's what I wish I'd said.Copy !req
124. I haven't seen Ella in four years,
but every night I bring home dinner,Copy !req
125. I get an extra bucket of bacon-blasted
chicken fingers just for her,Copy !req
126. so that if she ever comes home...Copy !req
127. she'll know that she's welcome
at our table.Copy !req
128. Huh?Copy !req
129. Kelsey Jannings,
our little indie film darling,Copy !req
130. I think I speak for both of us
when I say gooba, gooba, hey, yah, yah!Copy !req
131. Tears. Feel my cheeks.
Damp cheeks over here.Copy !req
132. I do notice it's not
as Chicken-4-Dayz-focusedCopy !req
133. as maybe it seemed in the outline stage?Copy !req
134. Talk us through your journey there.Copy !req
135. What do you want?
You want a close-up of the bucket?Copy !req
136. Ooh, I think that would make it
feel like a commercial,Copy !req
137. and what's so innovative
about this contentCopy !req
138. is that it's not a commercial.Copy !req
139. Right, I forgot about the innovative part
of it. Excuse me.Copy !req
140. Our target demo responds poorlyCopy !req
141. when they feel
they're being advertised to,Copy !req
142. but they love stories that engage them
on their level,Copy !req
143. utilizing themes of inclusivity,
as well as dunking on the olds.Copy !req
144. Ah, yes, teens love dunking on olds,
is there any way to get more of that in?Copy !req
145. - Well, we already shot the ad.
- Not an ad.Copy !req
146. The immersive product placement journey.Copy !req
147. But maybe I can find takes
that are in more of a dunking tone,Copy !req
148. as well as shots
that highlight more prominentlyCopy !req
149. but do not feature the bucket
of chicken-bacon finger-blasters.Copy !req
150. Thank you for letting us help you share
your beautiful vision with the world.Copy !req
151. No. Thank you.Copy !req
152. I'm sorry, it's bullshit.Copy !req
153. A gig's a gig.Copy !req
154. And Vassar doesn't accept indie cred
in lieu of my daughter's tuition.Copy !req
155. I just don't believe it.
You're a way better director than I am.Copy !req
156. If you'd told me that one day
you'd be doing chicken commercials—Copy !req
157. - Not a commercial.
- That you'd be doingCopy !req
158. sponsored content pre-roll
for Beverly Hillbillies reruns on GronkleCopy !req
159. while I'm directing another
action-adventure blockbuster,Copy !req
160. this one set in the world
of competitive ballroom dancing,Copy !req
161. working title, "Balls to the Wall,"
if you'd told me that...Copy !req
162. You'd be super-stoked?Copy !req
163. Yeah, first, I'd be really stoked,Copy !req
164. but then eventually,
I would get around to being outraged.Copy !req
165. It is fun that we're both working
on the same lot, though.Copy !req
166. - Right?
- Yeah.Copy !req
167. - Sorry.Copy !req
168. - What now?Copy !req
169. Again? Okay.Copy !req
170. - Yeah. I'll talk to her.Copy !req
171. What are these new pages?
Why do I have new pages?Copy !req
172. You don't like the new pages?Copy !req
173. The content of the pages
is not the issue, Justin.Copy !req
174. - Yeah.
- I spent time preparing the other pages.Copy !req
175. You understand?Copy !req
176. I rehearsed them. I studied them.
That's precious time I'll never get back!Copy !req
177. And then some person—
I don't know this person—Copy !req
178. And by the way, I don't like strange
persons knocking on my doorCopy !req
179. and then letting themselves in.
The knock is so I can tell you to enter.Copy !req
180. If you just enter,
what is the purpose of the knock?Copy !req
181. You're right, of course.Copy !req
182. My point is about the pages.
Why are you throwing new things at me?Copy !req
183. The insurance guys are nixing
the car chase.Copy !req
184. We had to think fast, so we put together
a new hand-to-hand combat sceneCopy !req
185. we're gonna throw on top
of the meringue number.Copy !req
186. - So, it's a stunt?
- I thought you'd be excited.Copy !req
187. I'm excited!
It's more time spent on your face.Copy !req
188. Ever since I directed you in that episode
of "Female Body Inspectors,"Copy !req
189. I thought...
"I gotta give this woman her close-up."Copy !req
190. Don't produce me, Justin.Copy !req
191. Is there choreography?
When am I learning this stunt?Copy !req
192. April's gonna be on set.
She'll make sure you understand the stunt.Copy !req
193. - And it's gonna be safe?
- We are taking every precaution.Copy !req
194. And we are not gonna shoot
until you are 100 percent comfortable.Copy !req
195. Thank you.
I didn't mean to bite your head off.Copy !req
196. - I just don't like being surprised, okay?
- Totally my fault.Copy !req
197. I should've warned you.Copy !req
198. Is there something else going on
that I should know about?Copy !req
199. I'm fine. I'm actually being
really cool here.Copy !req
200. I'm not some kind of monster
just because I don't like surprises.Copy !req
201. I'm number one on the call sheet.
I'm entitled to a little respect.Copy !req
202. No, you're right.Copy !req
203. I mean, I've worked on projects
where the number one on the call sheetCopy !req
204. was like an actual crazy person,
so I think I'm being really cool.Copy !req
205. - You are being so cool.
- Yeah?Copy !req
206. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
207. Can you wait
until you're out of earshotCopy !req
208. to make your exasperated sighs, please?Copy !req
209. Yes, sorry!Copy !req
210. Huh?Copy !req
211. Kelsey! You can't
compare yourself to Justin Kenyon.Copy !req
212. - What's the difference?
- The difference is he has a great agent.Copy !req
213. That was a joke,
but I see you're in no mood.Copy !req
214. I'm a good director.Copy !req
215. Yes, but Justin's movies
make actual money.Copy !req
216. The last big movie you were on,
you got fired off of.Copy !req
217. Explain this to me.Copy !req
218. I didn't break
into the Nixon Library aloneCopy !req
219. and yet I'm the only one
whose career has suffered.Copy !req
220. Why do you think that is?Copy !req
221. Kelse, I don't know by what fancy
the fates push us aboutCopy !req
222. in their great cosmic dance.Copy !req
223. - I am but an agent.
- What about these stories I keep hearingCopy !req
224. about how people wanna hire
more female directors?Copy !req
225. Oh, they want to, they want to so bad.
Just not for this particular project.Copy !req
226. Which particular project?Copy !req
227. Anyone. I mean, you name it.
Whatever Paul Feig's doing.Copy !req
228. You need to get me out of director jail.Copy !req
229. Even Roman Polanski works more than I do,
and he should be in actual jail.Copy !req
230. Yeah, for his last
couple of movies, at least, right? Woof!Copy !req
231. No. Not for his last couple of movies.Copy !req
232. Carol, be a doll and tell this dame
what you told me.Copy !req
233. I just don't understand
why my daughter would start using again.Copy !req
234. She was sober.
She was going to AA meetings.Copy !req
235. You suspect foul play?Copy !req
236. Listen to this,
the last voicemail I ever got from her,Copy !req
237. - a month before she died.Copy !req
238. Hey, Mommy.Copy !req
239. I got out of a meeting
and we're making amends,Copy !req
240. so I just wanted to say I'm sorry
I'm such a disappointment.Copy !req
241. I'm sorry my platinum records clashedCopy !req
242. with the chic minimalism
of your new sun room.Copy !req
243. And I'm sorry I didn't introduce you
as my older sisterCopy !req
244. when we met David Hasselhoff
at the Kids' Choice Awards.Copy !req
245. And I'm sorry I've never been
enough for you, Mommy!Copy !req
246. What an angel.
She just wanted me to be happy.Copy !req
247. What is the "we"?Copy !req
248. - What?
- Yeah! At the beginning.Copy !req
249. She says, "We're making amends."
Who's this "we"?Copy !req
250. You know, we don't have to go
to this party if you don't want to.Copy !req
251. What? I'm the one who keeps saying,
"Let's go to the party."Copy !req
252. The only reason I came down here was so
we could go to this party and get drunk.Copy !req
253. Come on. I've gone to like
a hundred parties with you.Copy !req
254. You always say you're gonna drink,Copy !req
255. and you never do, which is fine,
by the way!Copy !req
256. No one's ever offered me a drink.Copy !req
257. I keep waiting
for this famous peer pressureCopy !req
258. I've heard so much about
and it never happens!Copy !req
259. You wanna go have a drink? Here I am,
your peer, pressuring you.Copy !req
260. I'm nervous about losing control,
you know?Copy !req
261. I think drinking alcohol
might not be for you.Copy !req
262. But I don't wanna be scared of something
that's supposed to be fun.Copy !req
263. That's why I wanna go to that party
with a bunch of strangers.Copy !req
264. Because if I'm gonna lose control, I don't
want it to be in front of people I know.Copy !req
265. - Okay, weirdo.
- You're a weirdo.Copy !req
266. Because I am not a thing to be fixed,
Daddy.Copy !req
267. Do you think we should ADR her saying
"Daddy-o"? Is "Daddy-o" more of a dunk?Copy !req
268. - Hello?
- Um, hello?Copy !req
269. Am I speaking
to the future director of "Fireflame"?Copy !req
270. - What's that?
- "Fireflame"! It's a superhero movie!Copy !req
271. Ugh. Another one?Copy !req
272. Yes, but the difference is this one's
about a lady superhero,Copy !req
273. which means this one you could
actually get hired on!Copy !req
274. I don't want them to hire me
just because I'm a woman.Copy !req
275. Ugh. You think Justin Kenyon says,Copy !req
276. "I don't want them to hire me
just because I'm a man"?Copy !req
277. Of course not! He says, "Money,
money, money. Nom, nom, nom."Copy !req
278. I have heard him say that.Copy !req
279. Besides, they don't want this
to be just another superhero movie.Copy !req
280. They're looking for someone who can make
a superhero movie with a twist!Copy !req
281. So, what, they want me to pitch the twist?Copy !req
282. - No, the twist is that it's a woman.
- Oh.Copy !req
283. But they do wanna hear your take,Copy !req
284. by which I mean they want you,
as a woman, to tell them their take.Copy !req
285. Hmm...Copy !req
286. I've been saying for yearsCopy !req
287. as soon as we run out
of popular male charactersCopy !req
288. and we've given them each two sequels,
we have to make a movie about Fireflame!Copy !req
289. I think that's really edgy
and outside the box.Copy !req
290. Outside is exactly where we're trying
to be, in relation to the box.Copy !req
291. We really think Fireflame can connect
with today's Yas Queen culture.Copy !req
292. Yeah, I got a real Yas Queen vibe
from her.Copy !req
293. She comes in, she saves the day,
everyone loves her!Copy !req
294. - Wow.
- Oh.Copy !req
295. Didn't I tell you this would make
a great movie?Copy !req
296. Uh, pretty sure I told you, Nancy.
I have always loved Fireflame.Copy !req
297. I'm sorry. I remember now,
you did tell me that.Copy !req
298. Well, uh, thanks for coming in.Copy !req
299. We're obviously gonna hear a lot of takes,Copy !req
300. but it seems like you have
a special connection to the material.Copy !req
301. I do.Copy !req
302. Aw. Aha!Copy !req
303. I'm famished. Let's find a place where
I can get a glass with an olive in it.Copy !req
304. Try to stay on task, won't you, Maxy?Copy !req
305. If Sarah Lynn was going to meetings here,
someone must have seen her,Copy !req
306. and if someone saw something,Copy !req
307. then I wanna know it,
particularly as it pertains—Copy !req
308. What crime have I committed
to deserve so long a sentence?Copy !req
309. I've got a point.Copy !req
310. Once you arrived at it,
send me a postcard.Copy !req
311. The starlet was alone
when she died, right?Copy !req
312. But there was someone else
with her while she was blotto.Copy !req
313. Who was that person? What'd they see?Copy !req
314. And why weren't they mentioned
in the police report?Copy !req
315. There's your who, what and why.Copy !req
316. Get a when and a where in there,
and we've got ourselves a story.Copy !req
317. Bully for you, you're almost caught up
to where I was an hour ago.Copy !req
318. Let's chat again in an hour
when you've gotten to where I'm at now.Copy !req
319. Sounds good.Copy !req
320. In the meantime, someone in this building
might just offer the keyCopy !req
321. that opens the gate to the gardenCopy !req
322. with the tree that bears the fruit
that is our scoop.Copy !req
323. Get someone to squeal on an AA meeting?Copy !req
324. I do believe one "A"
of the two stands for "anonymous."Copy !req
325. The other "A",
I could not possibly fathom.Copy !req
326. I envy your faith in the honor
and discretion of other people.Copy !req
327. Let's see how that honor stacks up
against the desireCopy !req
328. to dish on celebrities
so as to appear swank by association.Copy !req
329. Excuse me, kind stranger.
I'm writing a storyCopy !req
330. - on the efficacy of your program.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
331. I understand one of the pillars
is anonymity, but if you could...Copy !req
332. I once saw Craig Ferguson here!
I don't know why I said that.Copy !req
333. Oh.Copy !req
334. I really shouldn't say. It's anonymous,
but I have seen Robert Downey, Jr.Copy !req
335. Jamie Lee Curtis winked at me once.Copy !req
336. Colin Farrell, Russell Brand,
the Ikea Monkey.Copy !req
337. - Sarah Lynn, I've seen.
- Really?Copy !req
338. About a month before she died.
It was pretty clear she was using.Copy !req
339. Well, how do you figure?
Did she say something?Copy !req
340. She didn't, but her friend did.Copy !req
341. - Her friend?
- Large fella.Copy !req
342. I think he was a horse
or a bull maybe, it's hard to remember.Copy !req
343. Kind of like a rounder Brad Garrett type,
but with a very forgettable face.Copy !req
344. He told a story, though, I remember that.Copy !req
345. It was about a trip he took to...
New Mexico.Copy !req
346. - Oh?
- Yeah, it was about a girl and a mother.Copy !req
347. Oh, this is so long ago now.Copy !req
348. I think he had sex with the girl,
or maybe he had sex with the mother?Copy !req
349. Well, do get your story sorted,
but I'd prefer it if it's sordid.Copy !req
350. And this man left with Sarah Lynn?Copy !req
351. Do you recall anything else
about this man, his name, perhaps?Copy !req
352. No, but I remember the girl's name.Copy !req
353. Yes, Sarah Lynn,
now we're all up to speed.Copy !req
354. No, the girl from his story.
The one in New Mexico.Copy !req
355. He was weirdly proud of it,
said her name was Penny Carson.Copy !req
356. Carson, eh?Copy !req
357. "Penny Carson," he said. "And that's
her real name, you can look her up!"Copy !req
358. I remember thinking,
"Why does he want us to look her up?"Copy !req
359. Hmm.Copy !req
360. So she's sexy,
but don't you call her sweetheart.Copy !req
361. - Boy.
- Oh, that is so Fireflame.Copy !req
362. - Oh, wow!Copy !req
363. - Stop!
- What?Copy !req
364. - I'm sorry, I can't let you—
- Uh, excuse me.Copy !req
365. Are you already— Sorry.
I'm sure she's got a great pitch,Copy !req
366. but the movie you want,
it's just not realistic.Copy !req
367. Sure it is.
Wendy Wiggum ate fire as a babyCopy !req
368. and now she holds the power
of the Fireflame. It's all very logical.Copy !req
369. No, I just mean you're doing this
all wrong.Copy !req
370. She saves the day,
and everybody loves her?Copy !req
371. I mean, yeah, that makes sense
if she's a man.Copy !req
372. But it's never worked like that for me.Copy !req
373. Well, this isn't about you.Copy !req
374. That's right! It's about an exotic dancer
who's also interdimensional.Copy !req
375. No. I mean the rules are different
for women.Copy !req
376. If you're a woman
and you save the day, nobody loves you.Copy !req
377. People take you for granted,
or worse, they resent you.Copy !req
378. They punish you.Copy !req
379. The more powerful you are,
the more they'll take your power away.Copy !req
380. And I just think if your movie is smart,
you'll acknowledge that.Copy !req
381. - Ooh, yeah, sounds like a bummer.
- Yeah, it's a bummer.Copy !req
382. Being a superhero is hard.
Otherwise, everyone would do it.Copy !req
383. Okay, well, thank you for—Copy !req
384. Maybe that is a bad superhero movie.
Not aspirational enough, I don't know.Copy !req
385. But it's real. And it's different.Copy !req
386. Also, in my version, she's gay. Okay, bye!Copy !req
387. You're not bad for a beginner.Copy !req
388. Wrong on both counts.Copy !req
389. I'm no beginner. And I'm very bad.Copy !req
390. - Whoa!Copy !req
391. Ow! What the hell?Copy !req
392. - Cut! Is everyone okay?
- I don't know. Do I have a concussion?Copy !req
393. - You fell like a foot.Copy !req
394. - Why did you drop me?
- Why'd you scream at me?Copy !req
395. - Hey, guys—
- I didn't know he was gonna dip me.Copy !req
396. - That's not what we rehearsed!
- You said to have fun with it.Copy !req
397. I meant fun energy.
I didn't mean change the choreography.Copy !req
398. I can't do this. I am number one
on the call sheet...Copy !req
399. - ... and all I ask for is a modicumCopy !req
400. - Breaking news! She's number one!
- of respect and professionalism.Copy !req
401. Okay, let's everybody cool down.Copy !req
402. Do not tell me to cool down
like I'm the crazy person here.Copy !req
403. I'm just trying to have
a safe workplace environ—Copy !req
404. I had you.
What the fuck is wrong with you?Copy !req
405. - I'm... I'm going home.
- Gina, we need to get this sequence,Copy !req
406. - and we are already behind.
- Not my problem.Copy !req
407. I get that you're mad, and you're
totally right, but everybody else here—Copy !req
408. Not my problem.Copy !req
409. You got that dip, though, right?Copy !req
410. Okay. Trey and I will be in the coatroom,
doing hand stuff.Copy !req
411. - Otherwise, you don't know anybody here.Copy !req
412. - Hey!
- Sorry.Copy !req
413. - Oh! What do you see?
- What?Copy !req
414. You're having an anxiety attack, so look
around the room and tell me what you see.Copy !req
415. I-I see people partying and passing out!Copy !req
416. What else do you see?Copy !req
417. Um, books. Pizza boxes.
I see light fixtures.Copy !req
418. I see an odd amount of floor poofs.Copy !req
419. - Okay, now say your name.
- Hollyhock.Copy !req
420. - Last name too.
- No, we'll be here all night.Copy !req
421. - You feel any calmer?
- Yeah, actually. A little bit.Copy !req
422. It's a trick my psychiatrist taught me.
It's supposed to help you ground yourself.Copy !req
423. - Thanks.
- Except for the saying your name part.Copy !req
424. That's not really part of it.
I just wanted to know your name.Copy !req
425. Oh. Okay, cool.Copy !req
426. I-I'm Peter, by the way.Copy !req
427. Just so you don't have to wait for me
to have an anxiety attack too.Copy !req
428. - Hollyhock.
- Yeah, I know.Copy !req
429. Oh. Right.Copy !req
430. So, this party's kind of crowded.
You wanna go get some air?Copy !req
431. Yeah. But it's pretty cold out.Copy !req
432. - Oh, yeah, that's true.
- But we're wearing jackets!Copy !req
433. Also true.Copy !req
434. Darling, you must keep the cake coldCopy !req
435. and the flowers fresh
for just a moment longer.Copy !req
436. This story has revealed itselfCopy !req
437. to be thornier than a rose bush
and just as sweet.Copy !req
438. When shall I return?
Well, I haven't sorted that out yet.Copy !req
439. It seems I've gone
to New Mexico for a spell.Copy !req
440. - Whoa!Copy !req
441. Well, we're here.Copy !req
442. So I wanted to talk to you because
I'm directing a new movie: "Fireflame"!Copy !req
443. "Fireflame"? Get that money.
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom!Copy !req
444. Yeah. So I need an actress.
Someone tough, but vulnerable.Copy !req
445. I know you're working with Gina Cazador.
What do you think of her?Copy !req
446. Look, if you've seen her work,
you know what she can do.Copy !req
447. She's very versatile. Really talented.Copy !req
448. But personality-wise, what's she like?
Is she good to work with?Copy !req
449. I can't risk any drama on set.
There's too much riding on this for me.Copy !req
450. If I'm being honest,
I can't recommend her.Copy !req
451. - No?
- Especially if you have a lot of stunts.Copy !req
452. I mean, don't get me wrong,
she's great on camera. She just...Copy !req
453. - Uh... She can be a little difficult.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
454. I don't know what happened.Copy !req
455. I worked with her a couple years ago,
she was great, but, um...Copy !req
456. Oh, you know who'd be perfect?
Courtney Portnoy!Copy !req
457. Oh! I love her.Copy !req
458. I've heard nothing but good things.Copy !req
459. It's fine.
You're not even supposed to like it yet.Copy !req
460. It tastes okay-er over time.Copy !req
461. Yeah, I'm kind of aspiring to be okay-er
over time myself.Copy !req
462. You know, I actually didn't even drink
for like all of college.Copy !req
463. I had some shit go down
in high school, and...Copy !req
464. You know, there was this girl in my town.
Anyway, it's a long story.Copy !req
465. No, I wanna hear it.Copy !req
466. Okay. She had this man
living in her house.Copy !req
467. You mean like more than one dad?Copy !req
468. No, no, she had just the one dad,
but then there was this other guy.Copy !req
469. - Weird.
- Totally weird, right?Copy !req
470. Okay. So this girl was best friends
with my girlfriend.Copy !req
471. We all went to prom together:
me, my girlfriend, the girl, and the man.Copy !req
472. Wait, the man went to prom with you?
Yeesh.Copy !req
473. That's not even the yeesh-iest part.Copy !req
474. This guy bought us bourbon
and practically forced us to drink it,Copy !req
475. and then when my girlfriend
got alcohol poisoning,Copy !req
476. he just ditched us at the ER.Copy !req
477. Was your girlfriend okay?Copy !req
478. Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it was scary in the moment.Copy !req
479. We were there all night
and they pumped her stomach.Copy !req
480. And I was pretty traumatized for a while.
But things are good now.Copy !req
481. Things are good. Because at some point,
I realized it wasn't the alcohol's fault,Copy !req
482. or Maddy's fault, or my fault.
It was just some shitty dude, you know?Copy !req
483. Totally.Copy !req
484. But you know the craziest part of all?Copy !req
485. The guy, he's actually kind of famous.Copy !req
486. - Really?
- Yeah, I never heard of him,Copy !req
487. but it turns out
he's kind of a movie star.Copy !req
488. Who is he?Copy !req
489. Um...Copy !req
490. Who is he?Copy !req
