Dangerous Game Page #4

and you were still full.

You tried to look at him

and show him who you are.

- All right, stop talking.

- That's what I wanted.

Quiet, please.

- Okay?

- Yeah.

The more you do that, the more he sees,

the more you're the Mother of Mirrors...

the more he reflects what he is not.

That he is not the stronger.

When you're ready, Frank.

Look, I just want things...

to be the way they were.

I want you to be the way you were.

That's all I'm asking you. That's all I want.

I want the woman I married.

I want us to be the way we were.

That's all I want.

The woman you married

is right in front of you.

Just do this for me, baby. Please.

- You were so happy.

- No, I wasn't happy.

Stay where you are.

That was a beautiful thing.

Put that back in there.

Put that back in there. That was beautiful.

Give us some more of that.

Forget about this. That was beautiful.

- Do it again. Smell her.

- Can I stand up?

That was beautiful. More of that.

Have you ever asked or begged somebody

for something that you needed?

You look at her. Smell her.

Touch her.

Smell her, Frank. Smell her.

Quiet.

This is Scene 43, apple. Take two is up.

We've moved on to camera A-33 and B-14.

43, apple. Take two.

I want you to understand something

about the idea that I'm after, okay?

He just wants to be able to do his cocaine...

his booze, his sexual life, okay?

If she went along with that, things would be

fine for him. This man is not a wife-beater.

He's being driven into a desperate state.

She's taken a lot of abuse from this guy.

And he knows he's being abusive.

He can't stop. What he's doing is evil.

She hasn't got the strength to give it up.

But now I want you to relax with the booze.

I want you to let yourself go.

I want you to talk to her.

Talk to her as if you're talking to...

As if it's a child talking to his mother.

You know? As if it's a child.

"Mommy, come here. Hold me."

I just want the woman I married,

that's all I'm asking.

The woman you married

is standing right in front of you.

This is the woman that's right in front of me.

This. Take a good look.

This is the woman I married.

Take a good look.

That's the woman I married.

Look at that.

Look at that there.

I bet he jerks off to it every night

before he goes to bed and fucks his wife.

Look at that. What a legacy to leave behind.

You don't just do something like that

and forget about it overnight.

Look at it!

That's the woman I married.

Look at her.

You take a good look at it.

Look at it, Claire.

I'm sorry. Cut.

What the f*** is wrong with you?

- What's wrong with you?

- We're doing a scene here.

Your husband is crucifying you.

Hey.

- What are you talking about?

- You were not there!

- It was wonderful.

- It sucked.

- Frank, you can't cut a scene.

- She sucked in the scene, man.

What are you doing?

She's full of sh*t in this scene!

Don't say that about her, Frank.

You're not on TV now, b*tch.

Frank, she's wonderful in this scene.

You don't cut a scene. I cut a scene.

- She's wonderful in this scene?

- Yes!

You don't cut a scene.

I don't give a f*** what's going on.

- Come on, Eddie.

- You don't cut a scene! Get off the set.

Get off the set?

F*** you, man. F*** you both.

You were wonderful in the scene. Okay?

It's wonderful.

Calm down! Come on, Frank.

- Calm down, man.

- F***ing c*nt motherf***er.

Frank, what's up?

Leave him alone.

Frank, it's a long shoot.

F*** her and this goddamn f***ing movie.

Okay, but you got to calm down.

It's like I was telling you before.

They're all f***ing a**holes.

F*** this f***ing...

- What?

- He went off again, man.

What are you doing in there?

- How you doing, Eddie?

- I'm good.

I want to talk to Frank alone for a moment.

But they can stay.

Whatever you have to say...

I want to talk to you alone for a minute.

Let them stay, man.

What are you chasing my friends out for?

Come on, let's go.

You don't have to go, man. Stay.

Excuse me.

Do me a favor? Get her out of here.

- Come along.

- Young lady.

What the f*** is your problem?

Get up and get out.

I'll take care of her.

What's your problem, man?

I'm beginning to forget

that we're friends, Frank.

You hear me? What are you trying to do,

f*** up my movie?

I'm not trying to f***...

You're trying to f*** me up, man!

Frank, listen to me.

You don't cut any scenes of mine...

and you don't go around whacking people...

and you don't go telling my lead actress

that she's a piece of sh*t.

You don't go treating me

like a piece of sh*t in front of everybody.

How am I treating you like a piece of sh*t?

Frank, listen to me for a second.

I asked you at the beginning of this film,

that I need you to go down the line for me.

- And I'm not going down the line?

- I need...

I'm not going down the line?

That's what you're telling me?

You're giving me a lot, but I'm asking you

something. Now listen to me.

You've given me a lot,

but I need something else, Frank.

I need the desperation from you, Frank.

You're building some kind of wall

between you and the desperation.

I'm telling you the truth now.

You're putting something in the way.

You're doing too much f***ing drugs

and booze or not enough.

What do you expect me to do?

Do what you have to do,

but give me what I need.

- I'm trying, man. I'm trying to give you it.

- You're putting something in the way.

What the f*** are you trying to do to me?

Listen, Frank.

The suits didn't want you on this movie

to begin with.

- F*** those f***ing cocksuckers.

- I stuck up for you.

Now don't you abandon me.

I need you to dig down into f***ing hell.

Either do more coke

or more booze, or do less...

but you gotta give me what I need.

No more left.

Take your time with that line.

He can't stand up.

Give me a second.

Relax. Slower.

Joke.

What's this sh*t, anyway?

We live out here in the middle

of this suburban nightmare...

with the drugs, the alcohol,

the consumerism, personal debt.

We do everything...

that we can do to distract us

from taking the gas pipe!

Then she turns her back

on the very thing that got her here.

All right, she wants to conform,

she wants to convert? All right.

Let her convert.

But she doesn't have to lay this

hocus-pocus sh*t on me!

Because I don't need it!

If I want to get drunk, I'll get drunk.

If I want to do coke, I'll do coke.

To God.

If I want to go out all night,

find some whore on the street...

and f*** her up the ass, I will.

- To God.

- Because I need these things.

I just lost a $200,000-a-year job.

Who the f*** is going to pay the bills

around here?

God?

Is she going to pay the bills?

I need these things.

On your knees. To God.

Tell him what you need.

I need these things.

Get back on your knees, Frank,

and tell God what you need.

Go ahead. You can do it.

I need these things.

She's not there.

That's right, she's not there.

I have to go.

See you tomorrow.

- Change your...

- Daddy!

Hey, Tommy!
