but you're not helping me.

You can't ask me to go back to doing

those things you want me to do. I won't.

I can't.

He says you look good in the tapes.

You're an a**hole.

- I'm a what?

- You're an a**hole.

- What did you...

- lf I'm a whore, what does that make you?

Let's get something straight, Burns.

You didn't f*** me,

you f***ed the girl in the script.

I f***ed who?

Wait a minute. I f***ed who?

I f***ed the girl in the script?

That's right.

Come on, don't give me that...

What are you pulling,

that method actor sh*t?

I'm not pulling sh*t.

I'm expecting company, okay.

- Come on, I gotta go.

- You're expecting...

- Where you going?

- I'm going.

Where are you going? It's early.

It's 1:
15. The night's young.

- It's late.

- It's not late, it's early.

Stick around.

We haven't even gone over the script yet.

Sorry, I got what I needed.

- What do you mean, you got what you want?

- Don't say anything to Eddie about this.

What do you mean,

"Don't say anything to Eddie"?

If I have to explain it to you,

what's the point?

Just don't say anything to Eddie.

Are you worried about your close-ups?

Look, he doesn't need to know, all right?

He doesn't need to know what?

- Bye.

- Where are you going?

Hang out a while.

So, that b*tch leave yet?

She's gone. Did you bring it?

You f***ing a**hole.

Been keeping me here waiting for an hour.

Come on, now, where is it?

- I got it.

- Give me it.

So, how was she?

What, are you jealous?

Don't say that.

- What's the matter?

- What, she give you head?

- Did she give me head?

- Yeah, how'd she do it?

- Maybe she did.

- What'd she do?

What's it to you?

Did she go like this? Did she go?

- Give me that.

- Did she go like that?

A**hole.

Give me that. Give me the sh*t

and cut the bullshit.

- Give me it.

- Okay. I got it.

- Give me it.

- Yeah, right.

But don't you ever f***ing do that

to me again. Do you hear me?

- Ken, if she's over there, is that okay?

- That's fine.

Drastic.

I need a little more.

Little more smoke.

You ready over there?

Quietly, folks.

So can Hiram do

whatever he has to do to me...

and then I can get ready, so no one

has to touch me until you're ready to shoot?

- Is that all right?

- Yeah.

Sarah, can you lift your head up, please?

How does that look outside, in the video?

Yes, that's good.

- Is that good?

- Yes.

- Do we have it?

- Yes.

Eddie, what do you think?

Does it look good to you?

Oh, my God.

What should I do?

Cut it.

- No, we haven't cut it yet.

- All right, go down and get lower.

Cut it.

That's the way we f***ing set it!

You just do whatever you want to do. Okay.

I want the camera to get her

if she sticks her head in the sink.

- Are we ready to go?

- We're ready.

Roll sound.

What do you want me to do now?

I don't know.

I want you to do what you did. Okay?

- Eddie, camera's rolling.

- Okay, roll it.

Okay, we're rolling.

- Give me a slate.

- Take five.

You want my head up higher?

That's fine.

Whenever you want to go.

I'm not f***ing getting my picture taken

by Richard Avedon right now.

You do whatever you want to do.

The camera's going to follow you.

It'll follow you.

- Should I just go when I'm ready?

- Yes, just go when you're ready.

Try and get down.

Oh, God.

What should I do?

Is that where he's hiding,

in the medicine chest?

You think he hears you, Claire?

There's nothing in there

but tampons and aspirins.

That's the closest thing you're going to get

to comfort in this life, baby.

You want to know why I'm like this?

Because I've seen you suck the cock...

of your girlfriend's husband

and not even bat an eye.

I've seen you snort drugs

with corporate CEOs...

and act like you were sitting

in a Sunday school.

I've seen you rob money

out of your mother's pocketbook.

I've seen you hock your dead grandmother's

wedding ring, just for a laugh.

And I knew...

that if you could do that...

you could do anything.

Russell, if it helps...

I'll be the one to take the blame.

I'll leave...

and you can join me anytime you want.

She just said, "I'm leaving you.

"I'll take the blame.

I'm the one that's going to leave.

"I'm leaving you."

Then he says,

"I knew it would come to this."

And I gotta feel that moment:

He has just been left.

If he gives me that feeling of,

"I've just been left"...

he will get to the next moment, which is...

First he has to feel that he's just been left.

"I knew it would come to this."

And then he goes back at her again.

"You can't resist, can you?

"You gotta bring peace

to all the huddled masses.

"You should have been Mother Cabrini!"

But he's just been left,

his f***ing heart is breaking here.

"You should be Mother Cabrini.

"I'll be the one to take the blame.

Oh, that's wonderful!

"You should be Mother Cabrini...

"instead of a pill-popping, middle-class

neurotic. But it's too late.

"It ain't gonna happen,

and don't think I don't know...

"deep down inside

what you're itching to do.

"You're dying to confess every f***ing thing

you ever did and ask for pardon."

"That's what's it about.

"Serve your sentence and be cleansed,

but there's one problem:

"Everything you ever done was with me...

"and I ain't ready

to bare my soul to nobody."

And that's to her,

"especially to a God that don't exist."

It's a battle between him and God.

Who's she going to serve, God or him?

- "You gonna serve God or me?"

- Right.

"You have any idea

what you're trying to do?

"You want to be cleansed,

you want to give yourself over to him.

"To someone,

a God that doesn't f***ing exist!

"You ain't dealing with your life,

you want God to deal with your life.

"You have a responsibility to me."

It's easy for you...

This is what the focus position is, okay?

You can't resist, can you?

You want to bring peace to the lives

of the huddled masses.

I mean, Jesus Christ,

you should've been Mother Cabrini...

instead of a pill-popping,

dick-sucking, middle-class neurotic.

I know what you're doing here.

You want to ask forgiveness for every

f***ing bad thing you've done in your life.

But it ain't going to happen, baby.

Because you know why?

Everything you've done,

I was there watching...

and I'm not about to bare my soul

to nobody...

especially a f***ing God that doesn't exist.

You better hurry up, Claire.

Jesus Christ, I can hear you praying

even in the dark.

You f***ing better hurry up.

Want to have a drink later?

- How about five drinks later?

- Okay.

Where do you want to go?

Someplace nobody would recognize you.

What, like McDonald's?

Okay, McDonald's.

Wait a second,

they don't serve alcohol there.

- We'll find our own place.

- We'll bring our own.

- So?

- So, you got more flowers.

- I'll call you later.

- All right.

I watched all his movies.

How come it's only people in Hollywood

that wear sunglasses all the time?

Because we know how ugly everyone is,

and so we wear them.

When you wear sunglasses,

everyone looks better.
