Sorry. What was your name again?
Packy.
Packy?
Yeah.
Are we lost, Packy?
Damn it! Damn it!
I had this nailed before.
I swear. Dude, we're gonna find it.
So you're driving for the picture?
Donny's my cousin.
You know, Donny?
Ah, yeah.
I'm kinda like the all-purpose
kind of guy.
Your cousin?
Yeah.
And this is his first picture.
Yeah, you know.
in Bartoli's back yard doesn't count.
This is like his first film. Movie.
Is he good with actors?
Does he like actors?
Uh--
You're kinda like the first actor
I've ever met, so--
But I know he's f***ing
so psyched that you're doing this.
You're playing the store manager.
Well, now, I haven't committed yet.
This is just research, you know?
Just take a look at the location.
Research, get a feel for the character.
So, Donny says you haven't
worked in, like, four years
or something like that.
Well, not four.
It's a long f***ing time, right?
Well, I mean, you know,
I've had--
It's not like I haven't had offers.
So you're back!
You're f***in' back in business.
How does it feel?
Well, I wouldn't exactly
call this "back."
Not "back" back, you know?
Not like "comeback" back.
Just a little independent thing.
Oh.
Nicely under the radar.
I mean, if it flies, fine.
And if it doesn't,
it won't even count.
It's like a blow job.
Yeah. Like a cinematic blow job.
No sh*t.
All right, this is so--
This is so f***ing uncool, I know.
But I'm driving, so f*** it.
I mean-- Hey, would you mind
just doin' a little bit for me?
Any part. Any part is fine.
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
The thing--
The book on tape?
You did this so well.
Come on. Any part.
Anything, really.
Uh, no, no, no.
Chapter four.
Wait, wait.
Her ivory hand grasped firmly,
the door swung open
with the hush of luxury.
And there--
I never did a book on tape.
Here you go!
Her brim swept up,
her eyes filled with the glory,
the spectacle that was Titanic.
Man.
It's not me.
Modest motherf***er.
I'm telling you, it's not me.
The soles of his leather--
Of course it's you.
What else you been doin'
for the past four years?
That's not me, man.
All right, first of all--
I would never--
I would never choose those rhythms.
You know what I'm saying?
You get a scene like that,
you don't drop into those rhythms.
You don't play the obvious.
You always go under.
Run it by me again.
You want to play it again?
Yeah.
Her brim swept up,
and her eyes filled--
No, see, he's all
caught up in his reading.
He's totally disconnected.
I wouldn't-- I wouldn't have a--
"Earth received her step.
"Brim up,
"her eyes encompassed the glory,
the spectacle, that was Titanic."
Oh, my God! What?
So. This is--
Ground Zero.
You gonna remember how we got here?
Yeah, I'm down with the map,
so it's no big deal.
So, how do you wanna--
How do you want to handle this?
Sneak me in
through the back, maybe?
For what?
This is fine.
So, how long do you need?
You don't stay?
No, I run.
Frickin' Porta Potties in Brea,
wherever the heck that is.
No, I'm f***in' with you, man.
I'm just-- It's a joke.
All right.
An hour or so should do it.
Okay.
Now, you will be coming back?
Yeah. Hey, good field trip, all right?
And man, seriously--
Put it back.
Yes, you. Put it back.
You're not gonna take it.
You never do.
Stop squeezing the sh*t out of it
and put it back.
I'm watching you, cabrn.
You gonna pick it or do I?
Your mama didn't teach you how to count?
Let's go.
Fine. More for me.
Lee.
Come on.
$16.60.
Get a milk.
Vamos.
Oh. Oh. Sh*t.
Lee!
Can you not do that?
Sorry. I was just--
Watching, I know.
I saw you come in.
Is this bothering you?
I mean, am I bothering you standing here?
You are three feet from my face.
Sorry.
$24.50. No receipt.
Oh.
Give me that.
How do you do that?
The numbers?
How do you--
You know before they even--
I'm terrible with numbers.
You got prices, you got totals.
How many can there be?
Do you have to train for that?
I mean, to remember all that?
Some special training?
Yeah. Right.
I'm too A.D.D.
I could never--
So you--
You really anticipate, right?
Oh, I mean, you're good.
You're really good.
Wow.
Does the manager
have to be that good?
I mean, with the numbers?
She that good?
I mean, she's not
pulling in the customers.
Why, no. Not while she sits on her ass!
But then, I guess you don't have to
work if you're f***ing the manager!
Kiss it.
B*tch.
That puta gets the gold lane
and does sh*t,
and I carry the floor.
You tell me how smart I am.
I wasn't aware there
were lane distinctions.
You are looking at them.
Ten items or less.
You been standing there.
You see one jerk not try
to push the count, huh?
Always a fight.
So, this is the less desirable lane.
This? This is where
checkers come to die.
Look at this. Look at--
Even the register sucks.
In Italy, they give long receipts
Toll-takers on the highway.
Sort of a projection of length,
if you know what I mean.
Why are you here?
I was hopin' to see the manager.
But I guess he's not here.
I don't know.
Why don't you ask her?
No, no. It's okay.
It's cool.
What did you want with him?
I'm just doing a little research.
You're a cop?
No! Ha! No, no.
I'm-I'm--
Shitting you.
I know who you are.
You do?
You are in that Ashley Judd movie.
You saw that?
Blockbuster over there.
Only sh*t we see.
Yeah, well, I'm--
Mm, I know.
And you are?
Your name again is--
Did I tell you?
No, of course not.
Research for what?
A project.
What the hell does
that mean, "a project"?
Uh, film. You know.
Little-- Uh, nothing
I've committed to.
Just--
A movie.
Yeah.
Then why don't you say so?
Scarlet. That's your name.
Scarlet.
Yeah.
Yeah. Good strong name, Scarlet.
Beautiful name.
It's the lead in a movie name.
Scarlet.
What would you
possibly learn here?
Everything. Everything.
What?
Well, for instance, do you know...
that you change hands
every other customer?
You got this rhythm thing going.
Are you aware of that? Hmm?
Are you shitting me?
No!
No, it's just details.
It's all detail.
That's all character is, behavior.
You have to build it.
For instance, this blouse
that you're wearing here
under this smock?
That's a choice, right?
That's specific.
What does it say to us,
to the audience?
It says that she's here
but she's not here.
She's doing it,
but on here own terms.
You see what I'm saying?
Or, it's very uncomfortable.
What have we got here.
Some sort of a poly blend?
Hard to say.
It's not wool, is it?
I don't do well with wool.
Sweat like a motherf***er.
Manager doesn't have
to wear wool, does he?
Might have a problem with it.
Are all actors like you?
Sadly, no.
Oh, Jesus. Lee.
Lee!
Is that him?
Is that the manager?
