Dirty Beautiful Page #2

---

gonna make that movie tonight

so, maybe a few

bucks would help.

- I suppose you

have a girlfriend?

- Yeah, yeah, Nicole.

We live together.

- You're not from LA, are you?

- No, from a little white

trash town in Wisconsin.

- Little white

trash town in Idaho.

- I'm sorry, I

lied about Nicole.

We're just friends.

- So, you don't

have a girlfriend?

You want one?

- Wait, what, what?

- Someone to come home to.

You take care of me,

I'll take care of you.

- Yeah, I mean, you'd say

that to any guy right now.

- I don't trust guys.

I do you, you gave me

half your Skittles.

- You know, I can't just

take you home, ya know?

How do I know I can trust you?

- You can, you know you can.

- You don't just meet

someone and then,

bring them home to live with

you, I mean, who does that?

- You like me, you want to help.

You wanna say yes,

but you're afraid.

If you say yes, I swear I

won't do anything to hurt you.

- I have a really

small apartment.

- Just do it.

Let's go home.

- Okay, yeah, ya know what,

let's go home.

Oh god, I'm sorry.

Told ya it was small.

- It smells in here.

- Oh, the garbage shoot's

right next to the kitchen

but, they take the trash out

on Monday and that helps, so.

Here, let me give you the tour.

TV is here, there's DVDs there.

If you watch one though,

try and put it back,

they're kind of organized.

There's not very

many seating options.

You could be at

whatever seat I'm not.

- You draw?

- Oh, yeah, storyboards.

So, a director will

have ideas of how they

want to shoot their movies

and I'll draw the pictures

of how it'll look.

- That's cool.

- It's okay.

Actually, over here,

this is my real passion.

This will be my first

screenplay, feature film.

It's a big deal.

- That's my note system.

We don't want to touch that.

I do recycling in the kitchen.

We shoulda stopped

at got groceries.

- It's okay, I'm tired.

I just wanna use the

bathroom and go to bed.

- I'm kind of an Eco guy,

ya know, reduce, reuse.

I think it's really wasteful

to flush all the time.

Have you ever heard, ya know,

If it's yellow let it mellow

And if it's brown

flush it down

- Don't flush.

- I didn't flush.

So worn out, I'll just

shower in the morning.

- So glad you came, Kat.

It was the right

decision, ya know,

bringing you home.

- I'm glad too, I'm just

really tired, ya know,

from being homeless.

- Yeah, yeah, that's cool.

- Oh god.

I wanna text a picture of

her to Nicole, right now.

- This is awesome.

Now I know where to find

all the good chink food.

- We'll work

on the ethnic sensitivity.

It's all good.

- So, you were telling me before

about the guy that left you?

- Shawn.

We came here

together from Idaho,

and talked about a

whole band thing.

I sing a little.

- Wow, that's cool.

- Yeah.

'Til I woke up one

morning and it's like,

where's Shawn?

Just gone.

- And he didn't leave

you with anything?

- 50 bucks, a motel cost more.

- You must really hate him.

- I didn't say that, I mean,

you don't even know Shawn.

- Yeah, you're right, I'm sorry.

- Maybe he was scared, you know?

He's not good at

being close to people.

- So, what did you do then?

- Moved in with a friend,

only person I knew in LA.

Like an idiot I

f***ed her boyfriend.

- Heh, oops.

- It's not my fault

she couldn't keep

him satisfied, ya know.

Alright, your turn.

- What?

- I told you my sh*t.

Tell me something

embarrassing about you.

- I don't know, I can't

think of anything.

- Come on, there's no special

guy you ever went down on?

- What, where does

this come from?

- I don't buy it.

- How can you say that?

- Well, I mean,

it's f***ing stupid.

Last year in Idaho it

was f***ing freezing.

- No, temperatures

are rising, okay?

That's science,

it's not debatable.

- Oh, sweet, so easy.

Score, there's like five or

six bucks in here, for sure.

- Give it back to him.

- No way, he's just gonna

drink it all away anyways.

- Well give it to me.

Give it to me or I'm not

taking you back home.

- You know homeless

guys used to steal

from me all the time.

- Give it back to him.

- Everything is such a big

deal with you all the time.

- You're stealing from

a homeless person.

- I am homeless.

- By now, my contractions

were three minutes apart.

Yeah, I thought

about saying goodbye,

just gettin' the hell out.

But, then I thought about going

back to that tiny apartment,

that tiny life, and

I couldn't do it.

Somehow I had to make it work.

But then Kat started

sharing again,

her messed up childhood,

getting molested by someone

named Dick Outhouse,

like the most obscene,

f***ed up country song ever.

Oh god and her stories

from the street.

- I did some sh*t, ya know,

but, I never like ate out

of the garbage or anything.

I met people like

this old couple let me

sleep in their garage,

and I woke up one night,

and sweet old grandpa

is trying to finger me.

I was like, "Really, wow."

Viagra f***in' works,

let me tell you.

- Yeah, ya know, I think we

should probably head home.

I'm not feeling great.

- Dude, he's talking

sh*t about me,

you brought a homeless

person back to live with you.

How f***ed up is that?

- I know you've had

it rough, alright

but, if you let me I

think I can help you.

- No, no, no way, no way.

I cannot stand

cigarettes, no cigarettes.

- I smoke, what do

you want me to do?

- Oh, hey Marcus.

- Hey, what's up dude?

- Not much, this is

my girlfriend, Kat.

- You have a girlfriend?

- Yeah, why wouldn't I?

- No reason, man.

How ya doin' Kat?

- I'm great.

You're hair is amazing.

I love black guys'

hair, so thick.

Shawn's hair was super thick.

Woah.

I could just drop ecstasy

and do this all night.

- Okay, cool.

I got a party to throw though.

You two should

both come by later.

- Yeah, yeah, okay, maybe.

Ya know, we got a

lot a stuff to do.

- No worries, alright.

Nice to meet you Kat.

Later bro.

- Why can't we go?

- 'Cause we're still

getting to know each other.

We should be

hanging, alright, us.

- You're staring at my b*obs.

- God, no.

- Yes you are, all the time.

You want them?

- You alright?

You seem really, really quiet.

- It's okay, just do

whatever you want.

- I think we should do

this another time, ya know.

When you're a

little more into it.

- Whatever.

- You've gotta be shitting me.

- Dude, I gotta drop her

before she pukes again.

She came to my party,

she said you were tired.

She's your girl

so, I let her in.

- Aw, goddammit, you f***ed her.

- What?

- Aw man, she was

totally into your hair.

- Dude, are you crazy, I didn't

touch her, I swear to god.

But bro, she's wild.

Okay, a lot of the

fellas up there,

they were hanging and

they were drinking.

Just sayin', you need

to put a leash on her.

- I thought we went over this.

Found this plastic

bottle in the trash

when it's clearly recyclable.

Don't you get it, we are

destroying the earth, okay?

You know, in 50 years there
