Cattle Call Page #6

Synopsis: In Los Angeles, three guys with limited social lives hatch a plan to meet women: they'll issue a casting call for an independent film, interview actresses, and ask out the ones who interest them. Glenn is a nerd, but he has the office. Sherman has the idea - he's a hound, happy to lie, eager to meet and bed as many women as he can fool. Richie, who owns the camera, hopes to meet his true love. Within a few days, he's fallen for Marina Dell, new in town, with a boyfriend back east; Glenn is ga-ga for Laurel, and Sherman can't say no to the eager and adventurous Nikita. But how long can they sustain the fiction, and what about real feelings?

What are you|working on right now?

His movie, Perfect For Me.

- Perfect For Me.|- Yeah, it's an independent.

- Yeah, they all are.|- And I'm the lead.

You're the lead?

Gosh, that's beautiful.

- Well, one of the leads.|- Naturally.

This is dedicated to Laurel Canyon.

I have a growing obsession with you.

I have a growing obsession inside me.

I want to be with you.

It's like an involuntary muscle.

Flexed.

Engorged with its load.

It's got to explode!

Dreams are forever|in this game that we play.

I can't give you up.|You won't go away.

Is it fate?

It is I... Glenn.

I think it's a good time to get outta here.

The door, the door,|what's behind the door?

Behind the door, another door.

Behind the door, another door.

Behind the door!

Another door.

When a love burns this bright,

they call it starlight.

I have a growing|obsession inside me.

This is a little uncomfortable.

We should applaud here.

Yeah, f*** that. I'm outta here.

Obsessive-compulsive has|such a negative connotation to it,

when really we're the ones|who are willing to show

what human behavior is really like.

You know, all the ones that hide|their idiosyncratic eccentricities,

those are the ones to be afraid of,

'cause they're walking time bombs.

You liked it?

I didn't like it.

I didn't hate it.

I see your insanity.

I love it.

Prunsky?

The words that you spoke.

It was a very memorable moment.

- Thank you, Richie. Thank you.|- You're welcome.

You know, when I was 12,

I was in love with a girl my age.

I was awkward then.

Got so I couldn't speak to her at all.

So I got myself some chloroform,|a blanket, and some tape...

Um... Glen...

please don't tell me any more.

It could be incriminating.

Yes.

That looks like Mr. Teets.

It is Mr. Teets.

It's... And Marina.

Excuse me, sir.|Excuse me, sir.

Hello! Hello.

There's a woman in the car.

- You can't tow the car.|- I don't speak English.

What happened?

I don't speak English.

Mama, come.|Come. She's coming.

Come with me. You come.

Fresh handkerchief?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's okay. You can come in.

All right.

Hello.

- Can you put that away?|- Why?

'Cause I said I wanted to act,|not end up on the internet.

This is part of the movie.

Your personal movie, maybe.

All right. You could just drink it|straight out of the bottle.

- That's fine.|- Sick!

Don't watch me when I spit. You promise?

- Okay.|- I'm serious.

All right. I won't watch you when you spit.

You rinse and then...

That's really gross.

I know! I told you not to watch me.

That's nice.

You know, you're welcome to use my bed.

I won't be in it, of course.

I could sleep on the sofa.

I should get dressed.

Do you want to help me?

Just hold this like that.

Oh, hold it... Okay.

All right.

Okay, hold on.

Bottoms are on. Are you peeking?

- Me?|- Yeah.

Do you feel pretty steady there?

Oh, yeah.

All right.

You can drop it now.

Okay, on 3. 1, 2...

So...

What?

Well, here we are.

Yeah?

In my bathroom.

Richie, if you're gonna kiss me,|you should just kiss me.

Okay.

Okay.

Right.

Then that happened.

So I'm gonna go...

- sleep in my bed.|- Yeah.

And you're gonna go in your car.

Get into my Element.

- Okay. Good night.|- All right. Thanks for the shower.

- Thank you. Yes.|- Bye.

She's in her car in my driveway sleeping.

I'm gonna tell her the truth, man.

Yes.

What if I hurt her, you know?

I don't want to... If I tell her the|truth, she might freak out the other girls

And I don't wanna ruin|what's going on for you guys.

Oh, my God. Yes.

Oh, yeah. You like that?

Oh, just take it in. Do you like it?

It's just something I gotta tell you.

The casting agency,|it's more like, uh...

like a dating service thing.

Good morning!

Uh... Lenny... Richie...

Richie is the producer|of the film I'm working on.

Oh, right! Yeah. Hi.

I'm her boyfriend.

Oh, so this is what a producer does.

What are you doing?

That's it. I'm out.

What do you mean you're out? Hey! Come on!

We're having a little bit|too much fun here, Richie!

Listen, listen, listen!

This is making a big difference|in my life, Richie, okay?

Stopl Listenl

I already have a second|film lined up with thisl

Stopping this would be insanel|What are you doing?

No, the insane thing is that you're|just in it to get your jollies off.

You realize that you are always thinking|about your penis.

It's all about the penis|for you, isn't it?

There's a name for that disease.

It's called castration anxiety.

Oh, gosh, Sherman, I had no idea.

Listen, you're just, like...

You're just fired up by that guy Lenny.

Lenny is not the issue.

Lenny is a reminder that these girls|are only hanging out with us

because they think|we're making a movie

- We are making a moviel|- We not making a moviel

Can you hear yourself?

Come onl Don't you remember?

We started this so we could find girls who|were meaningful.

- Oh, meaningful. Come onl|- You know what?

Your sex-fest is over, jackass!

How are we gonna get|out of this mess, huh?

Sherman Oaks!

God's gonna punish us|for the things that we've done

when we least expect it.

God!

You know, I'm gonna|tell Marina the truth.

That's my choice.

And I suggest that you guys|do the same for your girls.

I like Laurel. I don't|want to tell her the truth.

Glenn...

it's time to grow up, man.

What am I talking about?

It's time for both of us to grow up.

It's a good script, Richie.

Okay, and take the rest of the money|and dump it in the Nikkei.

I feel a surge coming.

- We're all set.|- Okay. Thank you.

NASDAQ's dead.

Are you sure about this acting thing?

Are you still on the phone?

I am. I'm off, but he's on hold.|I'm on hold. You are...

Just take it out of your ear, okay?

Take it out!

You're never listening to me.

California is the Granola|State, you know that?

Fruits, nuts, and flakes.|You gotta be careful out here.

Here's where I'm staying.

You can have turned-down sheets|and nice pillows,

or you can sleep in the truck

and hand out your headshot|on Hollywood Boulevard.

I want you to think about that.

Teets?

Teezo!

What, are you claiming the bed already?

He's a cool guy, but let's get|to know him a little bit better

before you start moving in, okay?

Come on!

Come here!

Oh, sorry.

Hey, uh... what is this?

It's a internet dating service.

It's PerfectForMe. Com

Is... Is this part of|the audition process?

Am I... being filmed right now?|Is this a joke?

Okay. Um...

Look, the casting agency...

uh, was... was created in the hopes...|that we would find our... soul mates.

What?

The casting agency...

was created in the hopes|that we would find our soul mates.

So what you're saying is...

That the casting agency was created

in the hopes that we would|find our soul mates.

Oh, God.

What about the movie?

What movie?

I can't believe that I let myself like you!

I mean, all this time,|everything you said to me!

I trusted you! And everything...

I don't even know what to say!

I'm so shocked by this whole situation!
