Anatomy of a Love Seen Page #4

that you were consistent in,

the only thing, you said it

like a hundred times:

"If only we could

be in the same room. "

Do you remember that?

And once I realized

this was not gonna pass,

I did the only thing

that I could do.

So guess what?

Now you're in the same room.

And now I'm supposed to lie.

What am I supposed to do now?

I'm an honest person.

People know me for that.

How am I supposed

to do this day?

You didn't make

this happen, I did!

You didn't lie.

You just have

to make a choice now.

And I'm gonna support you,

no matter what.

I did what I did.

I can't undo it.

I can't turn back time.

It could be the worst

thing I ever did.

But it might be the best.

But anything worth doing in life

requires taking a risk.

If you stay in your comfort zone

you never get anywhere.

I wanna be in it.

I wanna be in your project.

You got me in!

Thank you so much.

Do you mind if I share

a quote with you?

I didn't, I found it in part

of my research for the movie,

but I'd love to read it to you.

Please.

Love is largely self-generated,

and falling in love is a process

Stendhal calls crystallization.

Before you fall in love, you see

the other person as a bare branch.

As you fall, you coat him or her

with jeweled attractions,

about 80% of your own making.

That's...

I don't know, it seemed

pertinent. It seemed relevant.

No, no, it's great.

What does it mean to you?

Well, that love is

so interesting, you know?

I think that 80% of what exists

between two people

is sort of put on

and everything else

in between is what's real,

and idealization or anger

or whatever it is,

it's the thing in between, that

thing that is absolutely inherent,

that is the truth,

and it's about going for that,

that gut level thing.

Does it mean anything to you?

- Yes.

- Okay.

It's a lot, it's a lot

to get into, but...

love is... it's such a high.

It is, yeah.

It's such a high,

and if you're someone

who seeks highs, it's easy to...

I think that's something

to listen to and appreciate.

Everybody's journey

is their own.

It's also very special.

It only comes around once, maybe

or very few times.

Thank you for this conversation.

I'm so sorry, I just need

to check in on Kara.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you. It's great to share

this space with you, Anne.

And just remember,

just ask for what you want.

It's worth it.

It is.

- Okay. Thank you.

- Alright.

I'll be here if they need me.

- Hi.

- Hi...

I made your special tea. It's blue jasmine.

You love blue jasmine.

Oh, thank you sweetie.

That's very sweet.

I'm just gonna eat

this first, thanks.

I didn't eat lunch

and my stomach's not...

You should eat, of course!

Listen, I know how important...

I might need you to do this,

later, if you don't mind

I will, absolutely, absolutely.

I'm like so stressed...

I know how important

this broadcast deal is to you.

We have to get it today.

We will!

Okay? Mal's leaving to go to

Chicago for a play for six months.

I overheard her talking to her

sponsor, and I confirmed it with her,

and she said it's absolute,

there's no way out of it.

Well, a play in Chicago when?

Next week.

We've gotta pull it in.

Okay.

Okay, that's... you know what?

That's terrible. It's

absolutely f***ing terrible!

It's terrible!

I don't even know

what to do with that.

Hey Zoe.

My god, are you okay?

You okay?

Is this like the last time?

Okay, we got this.

It's getting worse.

Yeah. Through your nose.

Try it.

Come on.

Hey!

She's just having a moment.

- I got this, I know this...

- Just a second, okay?

Can I just... thank you so much.

Hey sweetheart.

What can I do for you?

Do you wanna...

Let's open you up, okay?

Shhh.

Okay.

Cool water, blue skies...

Clear blue skies.

Nice fluffy clouds.

Yeah babe.

What happened?

She's having a little

trouble breathing.

If you could get

some water, okay?

I'll be right back, sweetheart!

Okay.

Keep an eye on her.

Oooh...

Kara! Holy cow!

Oh my god!

What are we gonna do? Zoe's

having a nervous breakdown.

We haven't gotten

a shot all day.

They're acting

like complete idiots!

What are you doing right now?

Oh, it feels good.

Are you listening

to me right now?

You know what? We're so done.

Ow! Oh! Aah!

You need to get it together.

You need to get it... together!

I'm serious!

Why are you laughing at me?

Did you just clap in my face?

What are you laughing at?

Get it together!

I don't know what to do. You're

the leader, the ship's sinking,

Get it together!

I'm not kidding!

I'm gonna be out there and

you're gonna tell me what to do.

I'm waiting for you!

Just you and me, Zoe, okay? I'm not

leaving till you're okay, alright?

I'm not gonna leave. I'm not

going to leave, Zoe, alright?

Now, just look at me.

Look at me and breathe.

I can't open my hands,

I can't. I really can't.

You can. You really can.

Give me your hands.

There you go!

That's it, that's it.

You got this. You got this.

Stay with me.

Okay.

You can do it.

Just you and me.

Just like before.

- Sweety,...

- Come with me.

What happened?

I'll tell you right now,

what happened.

- Anne told me you...

- Just listen to me, please.

Okay.

Mal just kissed me.

- Well, that sounds...

- So I'm wondering right now,

She is a really good actress.

And I don't know if she's playing...

I don't know if Mal is being

kissing Zoe as Mal, or if Mal

is being Jordan kissing Ellie

to get through this day.

Okay, you're making

yourself sick...

- Because I know...

- Okay, alright.

There is no way that Mal as anybody,

whether it's herself or Jordan,

There is no way she's gonna kiss

you unless Mal wanted to kiss you.

I am telling you that right now.

There's no f***ing way.

Everyone, we're back in!

She kissed you!

We're back in from lunch.

I mean, isn't that amazing?

Alright, so let's tie

this down,

and like put a little 250 there

to soften it up.

I don't know what to do.

We need to get

them out here now.

We gotta get going.

I know, I know,

we gotta get this today.

We're not gonna make this day if

people keep hiding in rooms all day.

Look, think about this.

Where did you

first fall in love?

In the movie.

In the love scene.

I saw it! We all saw it.

You were right there, and you

switched from Ellie to Zoe

and she switched from Jordan to

Mal at the same f***ing time!

And I got that, and I can't tell

you how many times I watched it!

Okay. Just can you...

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry,

I know we talked about this,

we weren't gonna get emotional,

but listen.

I want you to at least try

for your happy ending.

Hey, does anyone

have eyes on Mal?

Mal, does anyone

have eyes on Mal?

I want you to go out there,

and I want you to get in bed

with the love of your life, and

just take a shot at a happy ending.

Just try, okay? Just try.

Can you just please try?

Alright, guys.

Let's get ready

to go for a take!

Picture is up.

Rolling, rolling.

Roll sound.

Roll camera.
