How close?

KURT LONGJOHN:

Give me twenty to thirty. I've got a

couple tough shadows to deal with --

JACK:

Okay, but not too long, Kurt, right?

Remember, there are shadows in real life.

Little Bill approaches.

LITTLE BILL:

You wanna go over this?

JACK:

Yeah. Let's . . . .

LITTLE BILL:

(reading from script)

Okay. Set up is . . . here we go:

1.) Amber talking to Becky about auditions.

They make the phone call to the agency to

send over some actors.

2.) Enter Reed to audition for Amber.

They go at it. Becky just watches.

C.) Becky goes to the bathroom to jack-off

and is interrupted by Amber. They get into it.

E.) Enter Dirk --

(looks up)

Who's Dirk Diggler?

JACK:

The kid, Eddie, from the club.

LITTLE BILL:

Good name. Anyway: 4.) Dirk enters.

Meets with Becky. They go at it --

JACK:

I wanna change that -- that should be Amber.

Dirk should be auditioning with Amber.

Little Bill makes a note. Jack walks over to Becky, who's sitting in a

chair, shaving her pubic hairs.

JACK:

Becky, honey --

BECKY:

What?

JACK:

What're you doing? We're shooting

in twenty minutes.

BECKY:

I'm shaving my bush --

JACK:

Now?

BECKY:

It only takes two seconds, Jack.

JACK:

Fine, fine.

Jack continues to get everyone ready.

JACK:

Alright everyone, let's go, let's go,

we need to shoot this first scene --

we need to get one off --

CUT TO:

53 INT. BEDROOM - DAY - LATER

Dirk is sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed up in a brown suit and his

hair is brushed back, parted down the middle. He paces a little, does some

deep breathing, looks over script, etc. Scotty J. enters.

SCOTTY J.

Hey. Hi. Dirk. Dirk Diggler.

DIRK:

Hi.

SCOTTY J.

I'm supposed to come get you.

Tell you they're ready, now.

DIRK:

Okay.

SCOTTY J.

You look really good.

DIRK:

Thank you.

SCOTTY J.

You look really sexy.

DIRK:

Thanks.

SCOTTY J.

I like your name.

DIRK:

You do.

SCOTTY J.

It's really cool.

DIRK:

Thanks.

SCOTTY J.

OK . . . well . . . whenever you're ready . . .

I'll see you out there.

Scotty J. exits. Dirk stands, takes a deep breath. CAMERA follows as he

exits the room and walks through the house and into --

54 INT. GARAGE/FILM SET

The crew is ready and waiting. Jack is there to greet him.

JACK:

Ready, champ?

DIRK:

Let's do this.

They walk through the scene with Amber.

JACK:

So we know the scene, we know the thing.

You're gonna start outside the set,

through that door, I'll call your name

and action, that'll be your cue . . . come through

the door, straight to the desk, right here,

boom, you and Amber do the scene --

DIRK:

Do we go straight into having sex?

JACK:

Is that alright?

DIRK:

It would be better I think, y'know,

so we don't break up the momentum

or something --

JACK:

Amber?

AMBER:

Good.

JACK:

So we'll just go straight through.

DIRK:

Okay.

KURT LONGJOHN:

Are we doing a rehearsal?

JACK:

Eddie, you want a rehearsal?

DIRK:

It's okay . . . I can do it . . .

JACK:

Great.

DIRK:

Jack?

JACK:

Yeah?

DIRK:

. . . can you . . . um . . . will you call me

Dirk Diggler from now on?

JACK:

Yes. I'm sorry, yeah, yes.

Jack exits. Amber and Dirk huddle in the corner a moment.

AMBER:

Do you want to practice your lines with me?

DIRK:

I know it.

AMBER:

You look great, honey.
