Bowfinger Page #5

I love you.

I'll never use you.

I will never abuse your trust.

Thank you, Daisy.

Not at all, not at all.

Are we almost ready?

Are you seeing the fireplace?

We should light the fireplace.

Is this a good mark?

Daisy, my sweetness.

Hi, how are you?

- Hi.

- Are you okay?

- Do you want to relax first or shoot?

- Shoot.

You have such a good work ethic.

I so admire that.

Here's your mark, it's a little small.

Will you be okay...

All right, yeah.

We have a very important scene.

This is one of the hot scenes

that is about heat and...

...chemistry.

So it's the artistic portion of the film.

Right, so give her a little room,

react normally, be sensitive above all...

...because in this scene

Daisy's gonna take off her blouse.

All right. There's your mark.

The scene is, you're not sure

if you still love Keith...

...but you offer yourself to him

in order to save the planet.

Right up here. We're starting here.

Pan up. And roll sound.

- All right, let's go.

- Speed.

- Mark.

- You're not sure if you love him...

...but you want to save the planet,

and, action.

Keith, I don't know what's right anymore.

All I know is I have feelings

that make me need you.

Need you now!

Awesome!

You're doing great!

You're gonna be a star.

And, cut.

How's this, Boss?

What's going on with him?

The alien arrival scene is next

and Kit hasn't called in.

Someone must know where he is.

I know where Kit Ramsey's going

to be this afternoon.

You do?

At 4:
00 he's going to be

at Max's clothing store for a photo.

Every day I get an offer on this thing.

It's the only one in L.A.

- It's a beauty.

- Not a scratch. An award-winner.

- Sold three cars to get this.

- You have a great eye for cars.

My wife tried to take it in the divorce.

That would have really hurt.

- Who got the kids?

- She did.

Wait here a minute.

- Manager in?

- No, he's home today.

That's odd. We have a permit

to shoot here today.

Weird. We'll just start loading

in the equipment.

- You want me to call him?

- No, I'll call him from the cell phone.

There's a guy in there who's vacuuming.

Tell him you're from the studio.

- Who's in charge here?

- I am.

- Do you have a permit to film here today?

- Yeah.

May I see it, please?

Can I talk to you for a second?

Did you ever think about acting?

- This is it. Roll it.

- Mark!

Action!

That time away really helped calm my ass.

Thought I was startin' to crack up.

You ever think, there are no conspiracies?

Maybe there's no aliens.

Everything's just as it seems.

Being alone, by myself, in a chamber...

That was really helpful to me.

Freddy? Where the hell... Freddy?

- Freddy!

- Hey, you!

- Kincaid!

- Freddy!

- You heard me, Kincaid!

- Freddy, don't play with me.

Nice try, Kincaid.

Don't act dumb. Where's the plutonium?

That plutonium is mine. It's registered

to be used for religious purposes.

You actually have some plutonium?

He has plutonium?

Don't play around.

Freddy's about to have his guts replaced

with alien hardware.

- Aliens?

- They told me you were dead!

And now you are dead!

Keith, whenever you kill a pod person,

another one takes its place!

- You won't take me in your spaceship!

- I love you!

Keith! Keith!

I love you!

Stay with him!

I came down because I wanted

to see them shoot you today.

Shoot me today?

My darling! Please, Keith!

Let me love you! My darling baby!

Come with me!

He's coming! Stay with him.

Keith!

He's coming in here!

Cut!

Lyle, you might have won an Emmy,

but that doesn't mean anything here.

I need to see the moment

where you realize he loves you.

He's embroidering for you.

Doesn't that affect you in your heart?

- Doesn't that make you...

- Kit Ramsey!

Over here. I got the car running.

- Freddy, show me your guts!

- What?

Show me your guts right now!

Pod people are all over the place!

Pod people?

Come on. We're gonna shoot scene 35!

Keith!

Who the hell is Keith? Open the door!

Keith!

Go, go, Freddy!

Cut!

I must say...

...I am becoming more and more

impressed with Mr. Ramsey's acting style.

I'm learning a lot from him.

- I haven't done much of anything.

- What are you talking about?

You look like Kit Ramsey. That's talent.

Not everybody could look like Kit Ramsey.

Robert DeNiro

could not look like Kit Ramsey.

He annoys me anyway.

If I go to the store to get some coffee...

...I know that I'm the one

who'll get the coffee.

I'm the one that got the coffee.

I made sure the napkin was in the bag.

I made sure there was cream,

there was sugar in the bag.

I did it. Me! You know?

It's weird for...

To get credit for lookin' like somebody.

- What is that?

- That's a gift!

I don't know how much of a gift it is.

I am his brother.

That's what's so great

about working with you guys.

Whenever someone finds out

I'm related to Kit Ramsey...

...they want me to introduce them to him,

and I can understand that.

But it feels good to have somebody

like you for you.

It's great. I feel great.

- You get along with your brother?

- Yeah.

We haven't seen him in a while.

He's been so busy.

He's crankin' them out, back-to-back.

He didn't even come home

for last Christmas.

- I'm sorry, darling.

- That's okay.

I'm here with this fantastic group of people

who accept me for who I am.

Just the poor, stupid brother of someone

who everybody loves.

So, are you from a show-business family?

We're screwed.

We luck into the brother

of the world's hottest movie star...

...but I have a conscience.

- Don't be so hard on yourself.

You hear him? He's an innocent.

He told us how much he loved us.

I just can't do it.

I gotta take the camera back.

You'll work it out.

I can't do it.

What I like is Citizen Kane.

Very good movie.

What's good is Apocalypse Now.

Godfather. Dr. Strangelove.

- Stanley Kubrick.

- A Clockwork Orange.

Mr. Bowfinger.

Mr. Bowfinger, I got something to tell you.

I have something to tell you.

Come over here.

- Can I talk first?

- All right, all right.

Being Kit Ramsey's brother...

...sometimes it has its fringe benefits.

How do you mean?

You'll never guess

who I had intercourse with in the van.

Isn't that cool?

She gave me the works.

She is the most inventive girl.

- Can I see you in my office?

- Yeah, sure. She's so strong.

She's pure power and speed. Real hot.

I got an errand for you.

Go to Starbucks,

and I want you to get some coffee.

Go to Starbucks and get some coffee.

- You're gonna need napkins for everybody.

- I got that.

Call your brother,

find out where he's going today.

Find out where Kit's going.

- Then pick up pencils from store...

- Pencils from the store.

Then sharpen the pencils.

- You got it?

- Yeah, I got it.

Coffee, napkins, stationery,

find out where my brother's going.

- Ride like the wind.

- I'm gone, man! Gone!

I want to see you.

- We are finished. We are over.

- How come?

- You had sex with Jiff.

- So?

- Never thought of it that way.
