CQ Page #2

- Enzo!

- Felix.

Follow me.

What this picture needs,

Felix, is you.

It needs youth,

and also... a better ending.

Felix, this is Paul.

He is the editor.

I know this guy.

How you doing?

You did sound on

the speedway picture, right?

I pulled cable for you.

I was awful at it, though.

Enzo, Paul's also done

the second unit on the picture.

Second unit.

That's fantastic.

Go ahead and tell Felix

the plot of the picture.

I would tell you myself,

but I'm lousy with English.

Go on.

It's a science fiction film

set in...

It's a good little idea, Felix.

You'll make it great.

Use the footage we have.

Cut here, cut there.

Add some action,

more of the girl. Very sexy.

I like it sexy, Enzo.

Keep telling the story.

- It's set in the future...

- The year is 2001.

We have one hell of a setup.

Real sexy stuff.

Go ahead, Paul. Go. Go.

There's a group

of revolutionaries...

hiding out on a moon base...

and there's only one answer.

Gentlemen, I want

to thank you for attending...

this emergency

security session.

This visual report

will illustrate our problem.

Recent intelligence reports...

indicate that a band

of youthful revolutionaries...

have set up a secret base

in the far out region...

of the dark side of the moon.

Their leader is a man

who's known as Mr. E.

His many followers

regard him as a great poet...

orator, inventor,

and expert in martial arts.

He appears to be leading his

group in training exercises...

which we believe are linked

to a plan to attack Earth...

to spread his dangerous

anarchistic philosophy.

Not since our troubles began

way back in May, 1968...

have we seen

such a cause for concern.

Most distressing

are the reports...

that he has developed

a top-secret weapon...

which we feel we must capture

to preserve our way of life.

Gentlemen,

we're left with only one option.

To use Agent Codename:

Dragonfly.

- But she's so expensive.

- And so difficult.

I know she's exasperating,

but we need her.

Now, I've arranged

a teleconference.

Please, Agent Dragonfly.

We had an appointment.

I need my sleep.

We need to get down to business.

OK. What is it?

Your mission is

to infiltrate the community...

by whatever means available...

find Mr. E, and

take possession of his weapon.

He's pretty cute, isn't he?

Please. Are you prepared

to accept this mission?

I'll take the mission,

but you know how much I cost.

Of course.

We're relying on you,

Dragonfly.

The future of the world

is in your hands.

So, are you prepared

to take this mission?

If you can meet my price.

That sounds like fun.

I love science fiction.

I could probably

make this amazing.

I want to tighten it up...

reshoot some things,

fix the ending...

because you don't

seem to have that...

and...

I could start once

the vampire picture wraps.

Perfect.

While Felix shoots...

we continue with the trailer

and the looping.

Felix, give the editor

your thoughts on the trailer.

Stick to Felix like glue.

Hear his ideas, his visions.

Write it.

Yes, we have to go.

We have another projection.

The Three Killers, no?

It just hit me.

I know how the trailer

needs to be.

Are you going back to set?

I'll let you know if

I get any other great ideas!

And we're up! We're back!

I want two cameras

and another here with me!

We're going to do two!

So, we finally meet.

I like what I see.

- I'm Paul.

- Valentine.

- Very nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

The director's still on his way.

I'll just get us set up

in the meantime.

Sorry about my voice.

My apartment's flooding.

I'm getting a cold.

You'll be fine. Maybe it's...

I was just...

I was just...

- Would you like some tea?

- Yeah.

Paul... Felix is missing.

Go ahead and get

the session going. Come on.

Yes, yes. People, come on.

- Ever done this before?

- No.

It's pretty easy.

There you go.

So, we finally meet.

I like what I see.

I have a mission,

which I intend to accomplish.

I love you.

I love you.

I'm so in love with you.

Do you love me?

I'm in love with you.

I love you.

That's OK.

Changing rolls. Sorry.

You have an eyelash right here.

If you blow on it,

you can make a wish.

I wish cats could talk.

You're not supposed to tell me.

It won't come true.

I'm sure it'll come true.

My cat's pregnant.

I wish I could talk to her.

- Can I get you to sign this?

- Sure.

You must be the director.

How exactly

you want me to do this?

With a lot of authority,

or maybe more playful?

Who is Dragonfly?

She's a super-sexy secret agent.

But that's top secret.

Dragonfly is coming.

- How do you like it? Good?

- It's great.

You hear me? One, two, three.

You hear me?

Dazzling? It's OK.

Dazzling is terrific.

Dragonfly is terrific.

- Everything else good.

- It's great.

Thank you. Thanks.

Just try them.

Where'd she go?

Out that way.

Who is Dragonfly?

Hi, Valentine.

Felix DeMarco, the director.

How are you?

Sorry I'm late.

I'm just... crazy.

Actually,

we already finished.

Oh, great.

Want to get a bite to eat?

Sure.

- Do you have any francs?

- Yeah. I do.

I'm fresh out.

I know a little great place.

Do you use The Method?

Do we have to do this now?

Yeah. That's the thing.

I have to do it,

even if I don't want to.

It's the only way

to be honest and real.

Have you seen my light meter?

You didn't tell me your father

was coming for Christmas.

I'm sorry. I forgot.

He's on a lecture tour.

Just be passing through

the airport for an hour or two.

Asked me to meet him there.

You never tell me anything.

What was the actress like?

She's a nice girl.

And?

Am I in frame?

Today is December 20th, 1969.

I have to stay focused.

Complete honesty.

Do you love me?

You know how I feel about you.

You just want me to say it

in front of my camera?

Why can't you just say it?

I sew your ripped pants.

I trip over your camera.

I love you, of course.

I just don't

want to run out of film.

What are you looking for?

What do you mean?

What is your biggest wish?

That cats could talk.

Something that girl said,

isn't it?

What are you talking about?

You're being silly.

I thought you had to be

totally honest in this film.

I am.

You're being ridiculous.

Who said that? That actress?

You want to sleep with her!

- Now, that's ridiculous.

- What is your problem?

I can't believe you!

I just don't understand!

We need to talk.

Hey, Paul.

Ready to go to the party?

Let me drive.

Did you pass

your driving test finally?

Maybe you can drive

on the way home.

I got a call from the hospital.

Felix was in a car accident.

Smashed up his Alfa.

The doctor said he was OK.

Just broke his leg.

He's getting out of

the Dragonfly picture...

taking a break.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I want to recommend you to Enzo.

Me?

I think

you should finish the film.

I know you can do a good job.

You're a talented kid.

You have helped

the picture a lot.

I have seen that...

in the second unit shots

I have gotten.
