Dangerous Game Page #3

- He's not ugly.

- That was my answer.

I wear them 'cause I used to do

a lot of drugs and my eyes are small.

They haven't opened up yet,

so I have to cover my eyes.

It's their attitude that's ugly.

- How is your work going?

- Work's going good.

Excuse me. If we don't talk about you,

it's like there's no conversation?

Is that how it works?

You could include us in the conversation.

- I just asked him how his work is going.

- How is your work going?

Good. We put a new porch in the house

last week.

The cleaters and gutters, we got a deal on.

No, I'm trying to raise money,

that's why I'm happy for you.

- How much do you need?

- What time can he get here?

I need, like, you know, around $12 million.

I got $6 million. I need $18 million.

- For what?

- Can you cut me a check?

For a movie.

That I'll pitch you on when you finish this,

if you're still alive.

- A script you wrote?

- I wrote it with somebody, Tom Leopold.

- How's your father?

- Fine. He's desperate to meet you.

My father's dead, if anybody's interested.

I mean, how's her father.

Her father is a very big fan of mine,

and he's 86 years old.

- Really?

- He really is.

- And get this one.

- What?

He used to be married

to my mother's mother.

Mother, you had me

But I never had you

He used to be married to what?

- To my mother's mother.

- So what does that make you?

A double bastard, or something?

You're a double bastard.

Is that how it works?

They got married.

What do you do on Mother's Day?

Grandmother's dead.

What does your father do on Mother's Day?

Your grandmother died,

then he married your mother?

They got the marriage annulled.

They met at the funeral.

But, you know, ladies and gentlemen...

Once upon a time, we're making love, and...

Wait, where were you?

In our bed.

- At your house?

- Yeah.

And, we were making love...

and my nose started to bleed.

- Why?

- It just started to bleed.

- Too much pressure?

- I was making love...

and I saw the red drops come on her face.

And she went like this, it was blood...

and so I gave her my come and my blood.

To symbolize it,

I bought her a ruby and a diamond.

That's beautiful.

- You made me tell you.

- It's a good story.

I didn't want to do it.

I didn't know you were romantic.

He's wearing his ass out.

Little blow?

No, thanks.

How about you, Jennings?

No. I'll have another tequila.

I'll have another one, too.

All this leather makes me sweat.

They're a cute couple, aren't they?

Who?

Cookie and Lulu.

- Okay, we're going to go, Francis.

- Thanks for the drinks.

- You going?

- Nice to meet you all.

- Where you going? You just got here.

- When I get back, I'll tell you.

- Take care. Bye. See you later.

- See you later.

Bye, Burns.

What the f*** was all that about?

What did you say to her?

I told you, I worked with her. She hates you.

F***ing hit and run, huh?

Have a drink and go.

What are they, French or something?

This could be a good time

to take off our sunglasses.

I can't see.

It was too soon.

Sarah?

Before...

I drive you home...

- I need a dance.

- What?

I need a dance.

Here?

Somewhere in a fairy tale

I used to take her home in my car

We learned about love

in the back of a Dodge

The lesson that never gone too far

You see, she was going to be an actress

And I was going to learn to fly

She was reaching for the footlights

And I was reaching for the sky

That's a cut. Leslie!

Guys, we got to go again, right away. Reset.

Quickly! Touch-ups.

Guys, right away, please?

Keep it together, please?

We're going again. Right away, guys.

We got to make it in five minutes.

Let's go.

Take this.

Burns, we're ready.

Come on. Let's go, guys.

Lenny, gotta go.

- Okay, we're going, right now.

- Okay. Let's go.

Smoke's fine.

Give me a minute.

Abandonment...

comes to mind for me here.

That works for me.

If it works for you, you find your own term...

if abandonment doesn't.

This scene is about abandonment.

He's being abandoned.

He is not getting any reaction from her.

He wants a reaction.

It's like someone telling you...

All of a sudden

you're lying next to this woman...

whom you've been married to for...

excuse me, "X" number of years...

everything's wonderful...

and one night she rolls over,

looks at you and says:

"My feelings towards you have changed."

A child will scream, kick...

kill to have their mother's tit to hang onto,

not to be abandoned.

'Cause what is abandonment?

Abandonment is a death, for all of us.

You go through all the thoughts

you said before...

'cause they're just perfect.

I've nothing to add to it.

I just don't like the word "at least."

The ultimate is to feel

the pain and the suffering.

Then we have a chance to survive.

Because some rat-f***ing-bastard

was leading a little girl...

a 7-year-old girl with a Star of David

on her chest to a concentration camp.

That rat-f***ing cocksucker

wasn't feeling anything.

If he was, he couldn't take her

to the gas chamber.

Where is she?

She's not coming down to help you.

Pick it up. You want to be a martyr?

Now you're a martyr!

Now you're a martyr! Here. Pick it up.

- You feel better?

- Yeah, I do.

I do feel better.

You feel better? I'll make you feel better.

- How do you feel? You feel better?

- Stop it, you coward!

I want you to hit the points

about the American way of life.

Okay? I want him out there now.

He's speaking to us about the dream

we have been sold.

American consumerism, you know.

This and that. That's supposed to be a life.

Have a dog. Have a cat. Have a house.

Have a car. Have a suit. Have a f***ing tie.

That's the lie that's been sold to us.

Okay?

We're ready to go.

- Oh, no.

- We're not?

We're going to start

when Frank enters. Okay?

I want you to take your time

and make the points.

He bought the dream,

and the dream cannot sustain him.

The dream has to do with industrialization.

It's a mechanical thing, it doesn't work.

You got it? Okay.

We live out here

in this f***ing suburban nightmare...

with the drugs, the infidelities...

the alcohol, consumerism.

We do everything we could possibly do

to stop from taking a f***ing gas pipe.

And you sit there with this pious bullshit.

You want to convert?

Go ahead. But don't push this

hocus-pocus sh*t on me!

If I want to stay out all night, I will!

If I want to get drunk and do coke, I will.

If I want to go out, find some c*nt

on the street and f*** her up her ass, I will!

You know why?

'Cause I need to do these things.

'Cause you f***ing bore me!

Your tits bore me.

Your face bores me. Your mouth bores me.

You think I want to be like this?

I don't want to be like this.

I just want you to be...

I just want things to be the way they were.

Don't you understand that?

Okay, cut.

- That was what I want.

- I don't know, I got lost toward the end.

Sometimes we get lost.

Why can't she be lost?

This time you looked at him more.

You tried to compose yourself more...
