No, just... Just sit.

Do you mind

if I.. if I smoke?

Oh, of course. Uh...

I'm done too.

Oh...

Ashtray.

Let's, um...

Let's run these lines, yeah?

Oh..

Um.. Okay, you are...

You're Nicole, okay?

Okay.

And, um, don't feel like

you have to act.

Just..

Here, just read it.

Okay?

You said to go with

our instincts, right?

Get in touch with

our animal side.

If I were an animal,

which animal would I be?

I don't know.

Maybe a horse?

Come on, Dr Mann,

you know me better than that.

A boa constrictor.

Not bad but too physical.

Too much effort spent

and not enough strategy.

A scorpion.

Too obvious.

Stings its mate, a no-brainer

for the arachnoid vice squad.

A net thrower.

What's that?

A spider that throws a net

on its prey,

stings it and sucks it dry.

Glad to see this game

amuses you, Nicole.

Why don't you come up

to my ranch this weekend?

You'd love the mountains.

No, I.. I couldn't.

Doctor-patient...

Confidentiality, I know.

It's funny, I feel like

I've known you forever.

It happens.

But if it gets in the way of the work,

it can be dangerous.

That was terrible.

No, you were great.

Um, should we try it

one more time?

Yeah. Mm-hm.

You said go with our instincts, right?

Get in touch with our animal side.

A net thrower.

Can you believe this dialogue?

Okay, a boa constrictor.

I'm Saffron.

You're good.

(laughing)

Ready? I'm going to be

very demure instead.

- Demure?

- You ready for me?

Okay.

And action.

You said to go with

our instincts, right?

If I were an animal,

which animal would I be?

A horse.

A horsie.

Wow.

Who talks like this?

Who actually talks like this?

It's a spider that throws a net!

(laughing)

Why don't you come up

to my ranch this weekend?

You'd love the mountains.

No, I can't.

Doctor-patient...

Confidentiality. I know.

It's funny. I feel like

I've known you forever.

It happens. But if it gets

in the way of the work,

it can be very, very dangerous.

Amazing. Whoa, I just

got distracted, it was so good.

Uhhhhh...

Let it be...

You know what?

I'm absolutely hideous.

- No!

- I am.

That was.. oh, that was great.

But I'm impressed with

everything you do.

(laughs)

Thank you.

I think you're gonna

get this job, Saffie. I can feel it.

No.

Not when they have every

head cheerleader Texas ever produced.

That's who they really deserve.

Not according to your agent.

He says they want you.

Y-O-U, right?

I, um.. I need to rest.

But thank you. Um..

(clears throat)

I can run lines with you tomorrow.

I can even go with you

if you want.

Okay. Okay.

Oh, wait!

Um, hah.

I was on YouTube,

and I have something for you.

I thought you might enjoy this.

(whispers)

Okay.

I'm Saffron Nelson.

I'm nine years old

and I'm with EZ Talent.

Okay, hon, you can do anything

you want. What are you gonna do for us?

I'm gonna do an old classic.

Is that alright?

Uh-huh.

Now, don't you listen, honey,

while I say..

How could you tell me

that you're going away?

Don't say that

we must part.

Don't break

my aching heart.

You know I've loved you truly

many years.

Loved you

night and day.

How could you leave me?

Can't you see my tears?

Listen while I say,

After you're gone,

left me crying.

After you're gone,

there's no denying...

You're gonna be great.

They'll love you.

Just like they always did.

Just be yourself.

(laughs)

Trust me.

The real me would never please

any of these people.

Good luck.

I knew we'd find something for you.

You're perfect for this.

Come on in!

Thank you.

(clears throat)

Okay.

Okay, any time

you're ready, Saffron.

Hello. My name

is Saffron Nelson.

I'm with Talent Unlimited,

and I will be reading

for Dr Mann.

Hi, Saffron.

I'm sorry, um...

The light's very bright. I can't see.

The unforgettable Saffron Nelson.

You're still lookin' good, Saffie.

And I'm...

still lookin' out for you.

It's okay to be a little

nervous...

Be so breathtaking...

How does it feel

to be so breathtaking?

Don't worry.

Your mother trusts me.

That's why she's given you to me.

Because it's what Bob

expects from you...

You are gonna be a star, Saffron.

A star. I know it.

Because you're

a movie star now...

Because you're

a movie star, that's why.

(struggling)

I said quality.

I'm gonna be looking

for someone eighteen.

Excuse me.

Saffron?

Are you okay?

Uh-uh.

- Saffie, what happened?

- huh

Saffie?

Saffron?

Saffie?

Everything I did was for you, Saffie.

You can't tell me

it wasn't a good ride.

Saffron?

Saffron?

(whispers)

Saffron!

Saffron! Are you okay?

Ooh, I fell asleep.

It was so sweet.

Do you put this much effort

into everyone?

Or am I special?

You're special.

But I just don't know

how to give you anything.

There's only one thing

you can do.

You're perfect for it.

Aren't you?

I'll love you forever.

And you'll have me forever.

Mmm.

Lie down with me.

You okay?

I feel better now.

How does that feel?

Feels wonderful.

Kiss me.

(moaning)

So nice.

You so feel good.

- I want you to let go.

- Mm-hm.

Do you wanna do that?

I do.

Wonderful.

(breathing heavily, moaning)

That's it.

Ohh!

Yeah.

Ohh.

Yes.

You taste so good.

(moaning)

Can you feel me?

Oh!

I can feel you.

Right there. Ohh!

(moaning)

Mm.

Do you wanna help me?

Mmm.

I want to.

More than anything.

I'd do anything for you.

Do you love me?

I love you.

Help me do something...

For you.

To remember me.

I've always loved you, Saffie.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Would you say

she was depressed about her work?

Did you hear what I said?

Well, who isn't these days?

Yeah, but what makes someone

check out just like that..

If indeed that's what she did.

She was definitely temperamental.

Well, she was an actor.

What do you expect?

I have a surprise for you.

You being a meat-and-potatoes guy.

So don't even think about

insulting the chef

by letting my last portion

go to waste.

You won't soon forget this.

It's the best dish I've ever made.

Now, that is real gourmet.

But, you know, it's funny.

When I was doing

a background check,

I found that there was no mention

of your cooking show.

Well, you have to

hang on to your privacy.

I saw what that stuff

did to Saffron.

Nothing's private these days, Amy.

The show will be on soon.

The network likes to

keep it under wraps.

And how about this?

Do you, uh, recognize that?

Well, I'm not a bird expert.

Your ex-fianc's pet African Grey.

I saw the police report.

There's a very disturbing

allegation.

Now, did you think

we wouldn't interview him?

That bird just didn't

fly away, did it?

He's upset because

he put this place in my name.

But who could invent that?

Invent what?

That you fed it to him.

That bird flew away,

like Saffron.

I don't see what this has to do

with my missing neighbour.

At this point, I don't know,

but I plan on finding out.

People just don't disappear.

Well, I have nothing to hide.

Get a search warrant.

(heavy pulsating sound)
