Daisy Diamond Page #2

Or else you wouldn't have returned

without the Palms, would you?

I became a hooker.

- I've been f***ed by strange men.

- A piece of chocolate, anyone?

Excuse me, but someone's baby

is crying its head off out here.

- Oh, come on! We're doing a scene.

- Whose child is it out here?

Someone has got to own that kid.

Right?

- It's mine.

- I see. You've got kids?

- It's my sister's. I'm babysitting.

- And what a fine job you're doing.

I'm sorry.

Let's get on with it. Next!

- Thanks. Maybe we'll call you.

- She's not mine, so it's no problem.

Welcome. Take a seat.

That's your mother,

your sister and your father.

Let's start from the top.

You have to go to sleep now.

I have to, anyway.

You can stay awake

but I need to get some sleep.

You don't decide when I get to sleep.

You don't decide everything.

Right?

I'm going to sleep. Good night.

God, you're mean.

Can't I sleep for just five minutes?

Be quiet.

Shut up and go to sleep!

Shut up, will you?

I'm sorry for yelling at you

and being so unreasonable.

Forgive me.

I only want what's best for you.

It's not your fault I'm your mother.

You shouldn't have to listen

to all my crap.

Why I want the part? I believe

I can add something unique to it.

I'm going to draw on

my own experiences.

Promise me to be quiet.

Please.

You really have

to help me now, Daisy. Don't cry.

Okay?

Okay. Let's get a move on.

I can do it.

I can do it.

- Hi. Anna Nordberg?

- Yes.

- What are you going to do for us?

- I'm playing Laura, the blond.

I believe I can add

something unique to the part -

- by drawing on my own experiences.

"Insight" sounds so pretentious...

- Right, fine. Got any training?

- I attended a drama school in Malm.

- Which one?

- The Malm Private Drama School.

- Never heard of it.

- But it didn't meet my standards.

Walk up and down, please.

Imagine you're the sexiest woman

alive out to score Brad Pitt.

Could you loosen up

your hips a little?

Try to use your entire body,

including the upper part, -

- to get a better flow.

Okay, look, Anna.

I don't see you as a sexy bimbo.

Sorry.

- I can too play sexy.

- And your breasts are too small.

- I'll buy a push-up bra.

- There are nude scenes, too.

They look much larger on screen.

Give me a chance.

- I already have.

- I'm sexier than everyone else!

I'm sure you are.

You don't know sh*t. You're a lousy

director. Everyone puts you down.

Directors, actors and critics.

All your films are crap!

Okay, fine.

Thanks for coming.

- No.

- Yes, go away.

No, you have to give me

another chance. Give me a chance!

You have to give me chance

to show what I can do.

Give me something I can work with.

Looking sexy isn't acting!

Only soap opera directors want that.

Give me a chance.

I can play any role better than

anyone else! I can be anything!

Actually, that was quite good,

only we're not looking for a psycho.

Bye for now.

You have to eat.

I need peace to work

so I can get a job and earn money.

You don't want to live

on the streets, do you?

Please, Daisy.

For my sake, try again.

It's really yummy. Look.

Come on.

Please, Daisy,

don't be so pigheaded.

I haven't got any more milk. How long

are you going to punish me for that?

You're going to die if you don't eat.

Eat something, now!

I'm sick of discussing this.

I'm in charge here!

You're going to eat now.

You're going to eat now, God damn it!

Open wide.

Eat!

Daisy!

Please sleep. All night.

You have to. Good night.

Now what's wrong?

Great, Daisy!

Trust you to do it now!

You know all the stores are shut.

Smart move, Daisy!

You always make things so difficult.

We haven't got any diapers.

No diaper here, no diaper there.

Trust you to do this!

Pee, pee, pee!

Are you happy now, Daisy?

Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up! I can't take it anymore.

Shut up!

I can't take it anymore.

I can't take it anymore.

Shut up!

Forgive me.

You deserve to go to hell.

How can anyone forgive you for this?

I want her back.

I want her to come back.

It's too late.

She'll never cry again.

Happy now?

I didn't mean to kill her.

I just couldn't...

I didn't mean to...

Spare me your excuses.

Your action speaks for itself.

You ought to be hanged... and shot.

I'm not an evil person.

She kept crying and I could take it.

I didn't want to...

I didn't mean to...

You're an evil, repulsive person.

May you burn in hell.

I want to make it right.

I want her back.

I want to tell her I'm sorry.

- I love her.

- It's too late.

I love her...

Thank you.

It says you speak fluent Danish

but it doesn't sound like it.

But I do. "The rain

in the Danish plain falls mainly..."

- Very good, but...

- I'll go to language school.

There's no time.

Why can't I have an accent? There

are lots of foreigners in Denmark.

We need someone to play a guest

in the church. She's got a few lines.

The lead actress Sofie Grbl

meets her at the funeral.

- I'll take it.

- How old are you?

- 22, but...

- Almost too old.

- What did you have in mind?

- In mind?

I don't know.

You're not a trained actress

so I can't give you the rate.

But if you do it for free,

it's yours.

Thanks.

How can anyone forgive you for this?

She's dead.

I can't go on living. I love her.

I didn't mean to...

You're an evil, repulsive person.

You ought to be hanged and shot.

I didn't mean to kill her.

I just couldn't...

Cut!

Sofie, I want you to cry for real

or I won't believe you're sad.

Okay? We need sympathize with you.

So more tears, please.

From the top.

Roll camera.

Action!

She's dead. How can anyone

forgive you for this?

I didn't mean to kill her.

I just couldn't...

I didn't mean to...

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

You're an evil, repulsive person.

May you burn in hell.

I'm not an evil person. She

kept crying and I couldn't take it.

Spare me your excuses.

Your action speaks for itself.

You ought to be hanged and shot.

I want to make it right.

I want her back.

I want to tell her I'm sorry.

I love her.

- I love her. I love her.

- Cut!

- It's a wrap. Next scene.

- Well, that's that, then.

- That's all for today.

- But I had a scene with lines.

They cut it. But thanks anyway.

Maybe we'll see you again.

When I was a girl, my Mom sold me

to men who abused me -

- so she could get money for booze.

When she came home drunk, she cut

me with a razor blade while I slept.

She was angry with me for being born

so she couldn't get a new man.

Know what she said to me?

"Incredible that a person can live

with all the hate I feel for you."

That's the kind of lines he wrote.

I told him they rung false.

I told him to revise the dialogue

or I didn't want to be in his film.

- More wine? Or something else?

- Wine is fine.

- Your scene turned out great.

- It did?

- It worked well with you and Sofie.

- You have a great way with actors.

You think so?

It's a relief to meet

a competent director -

- who doesn't have to assert himself
