Cut Shoot Kill Page #2

---

so I've been in a lot

of their films.

But I did do a Dunkin' Donuts

commercial down in Nashville.

Hi, I'm Jason.

I'm producing this little epic.

Oh hi, nice to meet you.

You're in cabin number four.

We're using cabins seven,

eight, and nine for shootin'.

There's no cell service up here.

No, but if you need to, IBall

will give you a ride into town.

I can't get the internet

to work, either.

The cable company's coming out

tomorrow to take a look.

How are you going to

make a movie

without a phone or internet?

We're used to roughing it.

We got our grip truck up that

road, that's all we need.

It's all right if

he doesn't want beans.

That's fine.

- There's a bean in the green.

- Ah, that's just fine.

- That's fine.

Oh, hello.

Here you are, sweetheart.

Hi, oh, uh, actually

I don't want that much.

Where I come from we accept

hospitality when it's offered.

Well where I come from its rude

to take more than you can eat.

Well, bless your heart.

You must be Serena.

Is that right?

I'm Molly Beale.

I've been babysitting

some of these little devils

since they were kids. Right?

Hi. Do you-

Listen up!

My people were Ulster Scots,

so it's become a habit of mine

to invoke one of their blessings

at the start of every one

of our films.

Mle filte.

1,000 welcomes.

Mle filte.

Damn, it feels good

to be making a movie again!

And our first feature, no less.

We got some real talent

in this room here.

Serena Brooks.

Blake Stone.

You are all fine

and committed artists,

and we are honored--

Stand back, people!

He had this comin' to him!

Excuse the boys, Serena.

It's just our makeup guys

showin' off.

F***, that scared the sh*t

out of me.

Stone cold sh*t right there.

Mle filte.

- Hell, yeah!

- Mle filte!

Maybe just-just a little bit,

and it'll-it'll fall...

- All right.

- ...I think.

It's better now

- That's better.

Yeah.

Is you ready, Miss Brooks?

Okay, she not ready yet.

What you doing there?

Oh um, I brought this from home.

It's cute, right?

- It's real cute.

I-I don't know if Alabama's

gonna go for it.

Just let me talk to him

about it.

What do we need for a shot?

Is there a big lighting change

for this?

Hey, everything all right?

You got everything you need?

Uh, yeah, everyone's

been very nice.

Axe the scarf.

Actually I brought this myself.

It's a little much.

We had discussed

that my character

was from around Allentown,

Pennsylvania.

So I did some research

and looked at some photos

and this feels right to me.

I want it to be as real

as you do, okay?

So we can do it your way

and I don't have to wear it

if that's what you want,

but I feel very strongly

that this is the right choice,

if you want it to be real.

You're full of sh*t.

You didn't look that up.

Had you going though, right?

All right,

whatever she wants from now on.

Okay?

All right, let's get ready

for rehearsal, everybody.

Why does everything

have to be so serious?

Maybe coming up here

was a mistake.

Don't say that, please.

Did you see that?

See what?

I saw someone by the window.

They were looking at us.

That's probably just Greg.

I don't think so.

Can you see anything?

No.

Okay.

There was someone out there.

Are you sure?

They were watching us.

Yeah.

- All right, I'll go outside.

- What?

No, Jack, don't, please.

It'll be fine.

Just relax.

Jack?

Jack?

- Aah!

Jesus!

That is not funny.

I think it's hysterical.

Cut. Excellent.

That was great work, everybody.

Good night.

I'm gonna go talk to Blake.

How was that?

That was as good a first day

as I've ever had.

Wasn't Blake great?

All right, let's wrap it up,

move!

- Thank you very much.

- That-that was very good, Miss Brooks.

Oh, thank you.

The idea was that

with only one hour's notice

we could put on

any of 13 classics.

I just finished a run of

Merchant of Venice

in San Francisco.

Hm, you were Portia?

For the intent

and purpose of the law

hath full relation

to the penalty,

which here appeareth due

upon the bond.

'Tis very true.

A wise and upright judge.

How much more elder art thou

than thee looks?

Therefor laid bare your bosom.

Aye, his breast.

So says the bond.

Doth it not, noble judge?

"Nearest his heart."

Those are the very words.

It is so.

Are the balance here

to weigh the flesh?

Have by some surgeon, Shylock,

on your charge,

to stop his wounds lest he

do bleed to death.

Maybe we can read some lines

from our scenes

that we have to shoot tomorrow.

Relax Francis, we're bonding.

It's all part of the process.

No, he's worried he

won't remember his lines.

Some of us aren't great

at memorizing lines.

The lines mean nothin'.

F***in' lines.

We're out in the woods here.

Rules are different.

One bad choice...

Life is fragile.

You be aware of it.

If you're not...

...you're a sittin' duck.

Lines.

Worry about your f***ing lives.

What's this?

This is the guy who's gonna fix

our internet.

F*** that.

Well, we talked about this.

No, we got everything we need

to make this movie right here.

Thanks, but you can go.

- No, he can't go, hold on.

- He goes or I go.

- Don't give me that sh*t.

Alabama, a lot of people here

have phone calls to make.

Whoa, what the f***

are you doing?

Yo.

What? Oh my--

Ugh!

- Hold up. Don't go.

He just f***ing

broke the router.

You don't have another one?

Not in the truck.

Wait, let me explain.

What the hell?

I have a life, Alabama.

I have a relationship back home.

You need to focus.

That is my job.

If you can't trust me

to do my job...

...then you need to find

someone else.

I don't trust anybody.

Cell phones, internet, that's

the plague of the movie shoot.

Well my life is important to me.

And is this the most important

thing in your life, this movie?

That is not a fair question.

What's more important, huh?

Your boyfriend?

What, he can't wait three weeks?

Focus on our movie.

It makes a whole world

of difference, trust me.

You'll see.

It's so pretty out here.

I love it up here.

I grew up around here,

just a few towns over.

We used to come up here

on the weekends,

get stoned or drunk,

smoke cigarettes

if that's all we could get.

Maybe go skinny dipping.

I never did anything like that.

My mother would have killed me

if I went skinny dipping.

No you definitely

would have done it

because everybody would have

made fun of you if you didn't.

Everyone made fun of me anyway.

Um, are you sure you know

your way back from here?

Yeah.

We're not that far.

What, you wanna go back?

Uh yeah, it's starting to rain.

You don't mind, do you?

No, we got all weekend.

Saw a cabin up here.

We can sit on the porch

until this passes.

I think it's this way.

Is anyone here?

I don't know.

I doubt it.

These are just weekend cabins.

It looks nice in there.

Looks like we can just go in.

I don't think so.

We'll just go to dry off.

We won't touch anything.

Hello?

Anybody here?

Looks like nobody's here.

There's a dryer in here.
