Catch Hell

And I could

never tell as a kid

What that

window door went to

Only told to stay away

I almost had

an accident at age six

When I found

the key in the attic

It's okay, girl. I'll be back.

Is the only sense I've left

Hello?

Mr. Pearce, it appears you

are going to miss your flight.

Yeah, I'm sorry, man.

I'm just finishing up.

I'll be right out.

Get the f*** out of here.

Don't fix my smile

Life is long enough

Mr. Pearce!

Don't fix my smile

Would you mind

taking a picture with me?

Yeah, yeah.

My daughter's

going to freak out.

Just a sec.

Would you mind

taking a picture of us?

We will put this flesh

into the ground again

Don't fix my smile

Flight number 24 from Houston,

your baggage will

be on carousel one.

Mr. Pearce?

Yup.

Welcome.

You from around here?

Yup.

I heard you guys

have been having some

rough weather lately.

Heavy winds.

Oh.

Have a good night,

Mr. Pearce.

You too.

Hi. I'm checking in.

Mr. Brown.

We have you on

the fifth floor,

room 539,

our most special suite.

I think you'll find it

very LA.

Cool.

Uh, Mr. Brown,

if you need anything at all,

my name's Rhonda and I'm

down here late most nights

and I can take care of you.

Nice.

Um, elevators are on your left.

Okay.

I love you on

the Howard Stern.

Thanks, brother.

Oh, sh*t.

Hello?

Hi, Mr. Brown.

It's Rhonda from downstairs.

How's the room?

Um, it's good.

I knew you'd like it.

Mr. Brown, there is

a foreign man down here

waiting for you.

Okay.

He seems a little agitated.

Thank you.

Bye.

Okay, bye.

Hey, Tim?

Oh, good to meet you, man.

I love your work.

Thank you.

Big fan.

So glad you agreed to

do this so last minute, man.

You are the perfect Vaxy.

Cool, man.

Obviously this movie

is very important to me,

you know?

Excuse me.

Regan, do you think we

could get a picture with you?

Yeah, I'm in a meeting,

but if you wait a second...

Come along, girls.

Let's move along. Move it.

Dude, dude, dude, dude...

Let's move it!

No, no, no, no. They're okay.

They're okay.

Yeah, come on.

We'll take a photo real quick.

You mind, Tim?

No, no, no, no.

So, how do you

like Shreveport?

I like it. It's cool.

- I just got here, but...

- A little bit closer.

Okay, good.

Okay, okay.

Thanks, Regan.

Nice meeting you.

Mr. Pearce...

Yeah?

You want me to post up?

I don't think so, man.

I think I'm good.

All right, if you need me,

I'll be right there.

Okay.

Um...

Now, I don't pretend to know

anything about your process,

but I like to do

a ton of rehearsals.

Just get in the room,

the two of us, man, and...

Uh-oh! Look who's

in Shreveport!

Regan, glad you finally made it.

Tony.

Tony Cunningham! I'm the guy

who writes the f***ing cheque,

yours too.

What do you think?

Uh...

Of Tim here.

Huh? He's a genius!

Huh? And Timmy, am I right?

Oh...

Huh? You love this kid?

This kid's a star

and we're going to be

the ones to remind him.

Look how ripped Pearce is.

All right,

don't let me interrupt.

You guys do your thing.

We'll meet back here 7:30,

get us some nice steaks,

find us some p*ssy.

How's that sound?!

Look who's in Shreveport!

Hey, Schiff, it's Regan.

I'm freaking out

a little, man.

Can you give me

a call back as soon as you can?

Okay, bye.

Front desk.

Hey, there's no

internet in my room.

Yeah, the internet's been

down for a couple days now.

Okay. Is it

going to come back on?

Uh, they're working on it.

I'll let you know if it does.

Okay, thank you.

- Yo, Schiff, Schiff, it's Reagan.

- Yo, man, what's up?

Hey, man, this is going

to be a f***ing mess, dude.

Yeah.

I am totally regretting

taking this job.

I just sat down with the

director and, Schiff, dude,

this guy is a f***ing moron.

Maybe a nice guy,

but, you know,

he's just not a director.

And this f***ing Tony guy,

have you met him?

What the hell happened

to my career, man?

Hey, I hear you.

Try to calm down.

Just tell me

what the issues are.

How's the room?

The room? Who cares

about the room, man?

Look, I'm sorry. The fact is

this isn't a long shoot

and chances are no one's

even going to see it.

Well, then why

the f*** am I doing it?

You know why.

Did we hear back

on the Cameron movie?

As a matter of fact,

I caught Avi earlier today.

He's still a fan, man,

but he thinks you're a little

old for the way they're going.

They want to play

this a bit younger.

And we've had this

discussion many times before.

You know what we need

is that game changer

that's going to get you

back on those studio lists.

It's just a matter of time.

It's gonna happen.

You have to trust

and be patient.

Hang in there, man.

Better days ahead.

To Flashpoints!

Oh, f***.

Hello?

- Hello, this is the front desk.

- Someone's here to pick you up.

Really?

Could have used you yesterday.

Are you guys from...

Flashpoints, yup.

They didn't tell me

they moved up my pickup time.

Tell him we want to get going.

Uh, they want to get you going

a little early, I guess.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Pearce.

I'm Mike.

I'm Junior.

I'm in production.

So, you're a PA?

Huh?

Yeah. They just want

me to come along

and make sure

everything goes good.

Man, I couldn't sleep

for sh*t last night.

Always happens the first

night in a new place.

Yeah, it's got to be tough,

being on the road.

Yeah.

Hey, man, can we

put on some music or...

Yeah. What do you like?

Hip hop, R'n'B...

Flow like water

down the drain

Can't hold me down,

I'm off the chain

Can't phase me, bro,

I'm focused man

Flyer than a bird,

flyer than a plane

Graduated when evaluated

Can't tell me,

B*tch I made it

High as sh*t,

not even faded

Compared to me,

they overrated

So, you guys from around here?

I actually live

down in New Orleans,

but I come up here for work.

How about you?

You ever heard of

Atchafalaya Basin?

No.

It's kind of like... swampland.

That's cool.

Like, gators and sh*t?

Yup.

This is pretty

far out here, huh?

I don't think

I'm going to make it back

for that one o'clock rehearsal.

I should let

the production office know.

Sh*t, I don't have the number.

Hey, Junior, you got it?

Here, I'll dial it in for you.

Don't get it wrong, dude,

they can't do what I do

Can't be like me,

you can try all you want

That's funny.

Can I have my phone back?

Dude, give me my f***ing phone.

Young and reckless,

like Johnny Manziel

It's gone.

N*gger music.

- Out the van now.

- Come on, let's go.

What the f*** is going on?

What the f*** is going on?!

Hey, p-people are

going to be looking for me.

Good.

What do you guys want? Money?

I will make the call to

my business manager right now.

I'll him to wire you

whatever you want.

You could have it tonight.

Oh, boy, you can do that?

Yes.

I swear, man, I can

get you anything you want.

I promise you,

I could get you...

at least a million dollars

and no one will

ever know this happened.

I don't want your f***ing money.

Pretty boy.

Why are you

doing this to me?
