About Cherry Page #5

I'm really glad you guys came.

Me too.

I missed you.

Miss you so much.

My baby.

What's wrong with JoJo?

She can't talk anymore?

No.

What?

Things have been hard.

Po's not around, and...

She's not feeling well.

What do you mean

she hasn't been feeling well?

Well...

I didn't know

if I should tell you that.

I didn't want

to ruin the visit.

What?

Of course you should tell me.

Of course you should tell me.

She hasn't been feeling

too well.

Her stomach's... she's okay,

and then she's not okay.

City General will only treat

people without insurance, so...

Is that... you need money?

Mom, you need to tell me

if you need money.

Look, I can help.

I will.

I'm so proud of you.

I thought you were going

in the other direction.

Here you are six months later.

You're doing so great.

Mom, whatever she needs.

Okay, anything that JoJo needs,

I'll... I'll get it for her.

Don't tell her I told you.

Hey.

Hey, sorry I'm late for makeup.

Everything's off schedule

today.

Hey, Cherry.

Don't worry.

They're gonna wait for you.

You're the most important thing

on that set.

You know,

my real name is Angelina.

Angelina.

See you soon.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Three girls? Okay

Margaret, glad you're here.

We were just talking about the

live Canny Girl shoot coming up,

and we want to know

if the agencies will agree

to a day rate for the girls.

There's gonna be a lot

of improvisation.

Well, I think that'd be

a tough sell.

Come on, you think these girls

are counting blow jobs

on their fingers?

Well, I don't think

they're gonna do more

than what we pay them for.

Whatever happened

to a baker's dozen?

What did happen

to a baker's dozen?

I don't know.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to say

I'm sorry about dinner.

Okay, well, you weren't

sorry enough to show up.

Wait, look.

Flowers.

You know, my mom

doesn't believe that you exist.

I exist.

I got to go.

I'll call you later.

Promise?

Yeah, I promise.

Promise.

I do.

Go.

Hey.

Where are you going?

We're heading out.

We're gonna...

we got an eight-hour drive.

We're gonna make

that appointment for JoJo.

Oh, well,

I thought that you guys

were gonna stay

for the weekend.

Well, we went out

while you were at your work,

your... that so-called job,

you know,

you don't want

to talk to us about?

Mom, I told you what my job is.

Temping at

an accounting firm or something?

Right, with the funny dress code

and big salary?

Mom...

You know what?

This isn't a place for us.

It's a place

for someone your age.

It's not a place for someone

my age or JoJo's age.

There's nothing wrong

with my stomach.

What?

There's no operation.

My stomach's fine.

Oh, God.

Oh, Jo.

Oh, Jo, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

I'm gonna leave soon too.

You need to finish

high school first.

You didn't.

Okay.

All right.

Come on, Jo, grab my nightgown.

Let's go.

Mom.

- Mom!

- What?

You weren't even gonna tell me

that you were going?

Well, I guess we're the same

that way.

Come on, Jo, let's go.

Mom.

Close the door, Jo.

Sure we've assembled

the best of the best.

- You think?

- Yeah.

I think so too.

Yeah, yeah.

- Hey.

- Hi.

You've met Margaret before.

I've been living

out of hotels so long,

I don't know who I've met.

Sorry I'm late,

but one of the models

didn't show up

for the shoot today,

so we had to start later.

Oh, are you a photographer?

No, I'm a film director.

Oh, what kind?

Adult.

And you had time to go home

and change,

or you wore this to work today?

I went and changed

for your party.

That's very interesting.

I suppose that's like any kind

of film work?

Not really.

It's not really

that interesting.

Well, I'm going to grab a wine

before they close the free bar.

Can I get you guys anything?

No, thanks.

Yeah, you just had to.

He asked.

Yeah, and we'll just pretend.

Like we haven't had

this conversation 500 times.

So what's this party for,

anyway?

End of quarter reports.

My team is gonna win an award.

I used to be on your team.

Yeah, a long time ago.

You just don't care about

what I do.

Nobody cares about what you do.

Yeah, but making young girls

take off their clothes

so old guys have something

to wank off to

is a really noble job.

No, I'd rather talk them into

buying homes they can't afford.

What is the matter with you?

I hate these people.

Then you hate me.

Why do you invite me

to these things?

Because you're my girlfriend.

That's what

we're supposed to do.

That's what people do

in the real world.

That's the contract.

I didn't sign a contract.

I don't want to be

like my parents.

You're like f***ing Peter Pan.

You don't want to not be

your parents.

You just don't want to grow up.

I'm sorry.

No, Margaret, you're not.

You're not... no, no.

You're not sorry.

You want to be sorry?

I'll make you sorry.

Yeah?

No, no, no.

Get down.

Get down.

Wait, stop.

Give it to me.

I can see your whole world,

and it's so f***ing small.

I loved you so much.

You know the Dyke March

starts here next Saturday?

Somebody at work told me

it's, like, a sea of lesbians.

Sounds beautiful.

You should come with me.

You can be my date.

That would be different.

Well, they're not gonna

eat you.

I don't think you're exactly

their type.

Yo, you should've seen

that night, all right?

Paco... they were aggressively

pursuing me.

I... they wanted some Andrew.

I mean,

I was the sh*t that night.

Wait for me.

I can't move that fast.

Come on.

Your legs are longer.

It's beautiful.

Think it's the most beautiful

city in the world?

Yeah.

- See that building?

- What?

The building to the right

of the bridge.

- Where? There?

- No, right to the right.

- Yeah.

- The tall one?

- Yeah.

- That's where he lives.

No.

F***.

Yeah, his apartment is amazing.

Bastard.

You should have seen him

in the morning.

He got up, and he stood

at the edge of the bed

in his dress shirt...

no pants, just his dress shirt...

and he was grinding

coffee beans

with a hand-grinder for, like,

ten minutes at least.

And then he left,

and he came back

with the most amazing

cup of coffee

I've ever had

in my entire life.

That's not good.

I'm thinking about doing

a guy-girl shoot.

Why would you do that?

Well, you know,

I haven't done it yet,

and it pays a lot more.

Do you need money?

Are you offering me

some of your bookstore salary?

No, I know it's a big deal.

I do. I just, you know...

I've been doing the girl stuff

for a while now,

so it's not really

that different.

Boygirl is... is different.

The man cave...

I don't think you should do it,

you know?

Having?

The special.

2 bucks.

You a friend of Rafi?

Rafi who?

Just Rafi.

What did he do for you?

Nothing.

Why are you looking for him

if he didn't do anything

for you?

I don't know anybody

with a name like that,

not even close.

Sorry for bugging you.

No, you're not bugging me,

cowboy.

Put a dollar in.
