- Yeah.

Oh crap! we got to reset

the whole knife gag with Blaine.

Come on, get in there and

change it! Quick! Again! Let's go!

I swear to god, cold coffee one more

f***in' time and you're out of here!

- I told you.

- You were right.

He's incredible, right?

Where did this kid come up

with this stuff? He's awesome.

It's the real thing.

Come on, look at that face

That's the close-up.

We need to go tight

like that. Right?

That's the close-up you need.

There you got a show.

Hi, I'm Toby. I play "Toby".

I mean, I used to be homeless

so I think that's why

they picked me for this job.

So I know "Toby" pretty well.

I've had some experiences

with violence

but right now I'm just trying to

go where the lights are green.

It's a reality series show

about a serial killer

who's also a homeless kid.

Megahip cast because all

the people in it are who they are.

Like Life.

Like OJ.

Did that really happen

or was it just

an old reality show?

Think about that.

The challenge of the casting

was finding people

who are what they are

but who also have

that star quality.

Our lead, forget about it.

He really has it.

He has such a bright,

bright future.

Hi, I'm Toby. I play "Toby".

I mean, I used to be homeless

so I think that's why

they picked me for this job.

Right now I'm just trying to go

where the lights

are green. You know?

Christ, now he's stealing my lines!

I should sue him for plagiarism.

At least get a writing credit.

I'm his manager.

You could tell me.

What's the offer?

He's tied to Slice

for another 3 months.

Can you hold for a second?

Hello?

No. No, Premiere

does not get the profile

unless he has a full page.

Okay? You got that?

Call me back.

Alright. Hold on for a second.

Hello?

No, that's T-O-B-Y, no E.

Yes, he's 20 years old.

The scar is real. He got it

in Central Park, fighting off

a pack of wild dogs.

OK? Thank you.

Randolyn. Yes.

No, listen, baby,

the offer is fine. Alright?

The only problem I'm having

is the female lead.

I'm sure she's

completely delightful

but her star is nowhere

near Toby's orbit.

Tell Ridley we appreciate the offer.

We'll consider it.

And that's plus 10 %.

Thanks, baby. Bye.

Cheers.

Did have a nice shower?

Yeah. Your hot water is amazing.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

It really is.

Look at you, your skin,

it's all tingly.

I fixed your shower head.

Did you?

Now I told you,

you can't keep walking around my

apartment without any clothes on.

There are windows.

I knew you would clean up good.

Look how beautiful you are.

K'harma designed the scent

all by herself.

She went to the lab. She picked out

all the different smells.

She came up with the bottle,

thanks to you guys. The colors...

The name, Instant K'harma.

Which is so great.

- Suis generis. It's K'harma.

- It evokes desire. And sexiness.

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

I came to smell you.

So where's Mystique?

I love the single.

It's hot.

I know. I know it's hot.

It's not about you, you know.

I know.

I don't think

about you anymore either.

You look beautiful, baby.

Really beautiful.

- I do miss you, baby.

- Really?

Every day, every night.

Especially at night.

How about you? You miss me?

No.

Not even just a tiny bit?

No.

I knew you did, baby.

Yeah? I wish this guy

would shut the f*** up.

Toby! Will you just take this guy?

He won't even shut up.

He's been calling for a week.

No, I don't want to take it.

You have to take this call, man.

I am going to freak out.

He's the most annoying

human being I've ever met!

Yeah?

Hey. How you doing?

Is that really you? Oh my God.

What do you want?

I'm just calling to say hi, man.

I mean, I saw you on TV.

Wow. You look great.

What the f*** do you want, Les?

You're f***in' harassing everybody.

OK, look, I just...

think maybe we should get together.

You know? Try and work this out.

Because it's like you said, man...

Rule number one Friends is Friends.

No, rule number one,

rule number one

you lied to me, Les.

Rule number two...

you're a f***in' paparazzi.

Don't say that.

That's what you are.

You think you're different?

That's what you are, Les.

You're a f***in' paparazzi.

- Paparazzi.

- Alright. Alright. Watch this.

You sneak around

and you take pictures

of people and then you lie about it.

You f***ed the whole thing up, Les.

You think I'm a paparazzi?

Okay watch this.

I'm going to delete the whole thing.

Okay? Here I go.

Alright?

Okay. Yeah. You're deleting them.

I did it. I swear to God!

They're gone!

Like I'm going to believe you.

I could believe you now, right?

Because right now

you're telling the truth. Right?

You tell me you believe me

or I'm going to f***in' stab

myself in the throat!

I got a knife

to my throat right now!

Alright look, Les. Calm...

Look, just calm down.

Les, calm down. Okay?

Just tell me you believe me!

Look just calm down! Calm down!

I believe you. I believe you.

Alright?

I believe you.

Thank you.

Look man,

you f***in'

locked me in your house.

Hey, are we going

to focus on the negative

or can we move on to the positive?

Alright? Come on.

I was just calling

to say how happy I am for you.

You're doing great. And I started

you off, isn't that crazy?

You'd never would have met that

casting chick if it wasn't for me.

Are you still there?

Yeah.

Look how about if we just get

together and have a beer?

Alright?

What do you say?

You know?

We'll go to Cheeks

and we'll have

a cup of coffee? Alright?

No.

Toby?

You're such a totally

awesome guy, Toby.

Wow. Thanks.

Ever since Blaine died

you've taught me so much

about being homeless.

It's kind of beautiful

in its own way.

Yeah. It's got its ups and downs.

I was going to say ins and outs.

Cut! Cut! Cut!

What, Corey?! I'm going

with it like you said.

Yeah, but come on!

Is this after-school porno?

- Is it!

- No.

Look.

- Tell him how you really feel.

- I'm trying.

Be real for once.

Just this one time.

Okay? Be real.

I'm sorry I yelled at you.

All right? Tell him.

Go.

Let go of my hand.

Keep rolling.

Go.

I love you, Toby.

I love you so much.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised

when Robbyn said that.

I mean, I think she's

really pretty and fun

but...

my true feelings

are for someone else.

Someone I met a while ago

who became very special to me

and I love her.

She's a singer. I

met her at the Music Awards.

Hey, baby.

What're you doing,

sitting in here all by yourself?

I'm just thinking.

About me?

No.

- Why?

- You know why.

Trust me, babe. I'm not

going to hurt you again.

- I love you.

- I know but...

I just can't stop thinking

about all the things we used to do.

Yeah, I was pretty

surprised when Robbyn said that.

But my true feelings

are for someone else.

She's a singer.

I met her at the Music Awards.

- Remember how I turned you on, babe?

- Don't!

She was really nice to me

and I let her down.

And I know she'll probably

never forgive me.

I would like her
