DIRK:

Does he want me to keep going until I come?

AMBER:

Yeah. You just come when you're ready . . .

DIRK:

Where should I come?

AMBER:

Where do you want?

DIRK:

Wherever you tell me.

AMBER:

Come on my tits if you can, okay?

Just pull it out and do it on

my stomach and tits if you can.

DIRK:

Yeah.

She touches her hand softly to the side of his face. (30fps)

AMBER:

Are you alright, honey?

DIRK:

This is great. I'm ready. I wanna do good.

I wanna do this good . . . let's try and do it

really sexy . . . you want to?

AMBER:

Okay.

Little Bill takes Dirk and walks him off the set, explaining things one

last time to him . . . CAMERA HOLDS ON DIRK. Little Bill walks away and

he's left standing alone a moment, waiting for his cue behind a closed

door. SILENCE. HOLD.

JACK (OC)

and . . . action, Dirk.

CAMERA blends to SLOW MOTION (30fps) and FOLLOWS Dirk through the door and

into the set -- lights flare into CAMERA/DIRK and we focus in on Amber,

seated behind a desk. CAMERA blends back to 24fps.

KURT LONGJOHN'S 16mm CAMERA POV:

Dirk enters. A light shines straight at him. He walks into a two shot with

Amber at the desk. BEAT, THEN:

AMBER:

Hello. Are you John?

DIRK:

Yes, ma'am.

AMBER:

Your agency recommends you very highly.

DIRK:

I'm a really hard worker. You give

me a job and I won't disappoint you.

AMBER:

What special skills do you have?

DIRK:

Well, I spent three years in the Marines.

I just got back from a tour of duty.

AMBER:

You're kidding?

DIRK:

No I'm not. It got really hard being

surrounded by guys all day.

AMBER:

When was the last time you had a woman?

DIRK:

A long time.

AMBER:

That's terrible.

DIRK:

But I'm back now and I'm ready to pursue

my acting career.

AMBER:

Well as you may or may not know, this is an

important film for me. If it's not a hit,

I'm gonna get kicked out of my apartment.

My landlord is a real jerk.

DIRK:

Really?

AMBER:

Why don't you take your pants off?

It's important that I get an idea of your size.

DIRK:

No problem.

Dirk starts to remove his pants . . . just before they come off we go to:

JACK AND THE REST OF THE CREW

Kurt Longjohn takes his eye away from the viewfinder for a moment. Rocky

frowns slightly. Scotty J. is in shock. Reed and Becky smile.

Amber looks from Dirk's cock to his face.

AMBER:

I think that you have the part,

but why don't I make sure of something . . .

16mm CAMERA'S POV:

for the first time, we see Dirk's cock. It hangs about 12 inches. Amber's

hand reaches and grabs hold of it --

AMBER:

This is a giant cock.

So they go at it . . . taking each other's clothes off and climbing up on

the desk . . . OUR CAMERA is hand held, moving around, looking at the crew

filming and Dick/Amber making love . . . .

They continue for a while. Jack whispers something to Kurt, then walks over

to Dirk and Amber, quietly interrupts;

JACK:

Guys . . .

DIRK:

Is everything cool?

JACK:

Hang in there, everything's cool,

I just wanna change the angle --

You're doin' great.

Amber looks to Dirk. They hold still;

AMBER:

You're doin' so good, Dirk.

DIRK:

Does it feel good?

Amber smiles. Jack and Kurt have set up a new angle;

JACK:

Okay -- we're back, we're ready -- action --

They continue for a bit, getting faster and a little harder;

CU. DIRK AND AMBER

they're face to face. Following in sotto:

AMBER:

You're amazing.

DIRK:

You feel good, Amber.

AMBER:

Are you ready to come?

DIRK:

Yes.

AMBER:

Come in me.

DIRK:

What?

AMBER:

Don't worry, I'm fixed.

I want to come in me --

Amber and Dirk come together. HOLD. They kiss and smile.

JACK:

CUT! F***! YES! YES! YES!

THE CREW APPLAUDS THE PERFORMANCE. Everyone gathers around. Dirk is giving

hand shakes, high fives, etc.

CAMERA PANS over to Little Bill and Jack who step aside a moment. Following

in sotto;

JACK:

That was great.

LITTLE BILL:

Yes it was. What do you want to

do about the come shot? We could
