Dirty Beautiful Page #4

---

Cocksucker.

There was the one

dude who masturbated

while I made out

with his girlfriend.

- Okay, Jesus, I get it, okay.

- I'm a dirty whore, just say

whatever sh*t you're thinking.

Do you want me to leave?

- When I was 18 I got this

job at a trendy restaurant.

And one night this older

guy was hitting on me.

He was telling me

that he was meeting

this big TV producer

for breakfast

and that if I went with

him, he would introduce me

and maybe get me an internship.

I would do anything to

get into the industry.

We go back to his house,

and he keeps pouring

me drink after drink.

He starts playing

these mind games like,

because I didn't know my dad,

am I afraid of male affection?

And what's the difference

between a female blowj*b

and a male blowj*b?

But, I wouldn't

let him touch me.

And he said "Don't you

think you owe me something?"

And then he took my hand

and he put it on his thing.

And I didn't jerk him

but, he moved my hand.

And you get it.

Here's the thing,

when all that happened,

I had a place to sleep,

I had plenty to eat, I wasn't

on the street all alone.

We should get some sleep.

- It's not a big

deal, what you did.

- You're right,

it's no big deal.

Decembers here

All my loved ones near

Singing songs all

through the night

And we're sitting

by the fireside

This time of year

With my family near

It all turns white today

And I know its gonna be okay

Woh oh

It's Christmas

Woh oh

It's Christmas

- We could watch It's A

Wonderful Life tonight.

Or ya know, I have

the 1951 version

of A Christmas Carol

with Alastair Sim.

- Oh my god, I love that one.

Can we get a tree

when we're out?

- No way.

Christmas trees are

completely wrong alright,

they cut millions of

them down for nothing.

- Okay, a plastic tree.

I can't believe you

have a job thing

on Christmas Eve day.

- I know but, I gotta

meet this director.

They got rid of their

storyboard artist,

and I could really use the gig.

Ready for the road trip?

- All packed, Christmas tequila.

- Can't you go anywhere

without drinking?

- Uh, yeah, when I'm stoned.

Can't I just wait

for you one time?

- Maybe in the new year.

I just really want you with me.

Now, ya understand this is

a business meeting, right?

You can't come in there with me.

- I'll just wait in

the car like your dog.

Oh, crack the window for me.

- Hey Sara, if

Craig's not here in five,

I'll personally

piss on his face.

- Jamie.

Hey, how are you?

- I'm great, it's

good to see you David.

Thanks for meeting me here.

I'm getting ready for some

test shoots after the holiday.

- Am I interviewing with you?

- I am the director.

I saw your name up for

the storyboarding job

and I wanted to surprise you.

- Well, I am surprised.

- Let's just put it out there.

I was an a**hole to

you after our thing.

- You were slow in

getting back to me

in that you never did.

- Truth is, I was

so drunk that night,

I dimly remember

a tiny apartment

you had then with the smell

from the garbage shoot.

- It would make me

feel so much better

if I could do something for you.

I saw your car

when you pulled up

so, I'm guessing you

could use the work.

- Yeah, wow, huh.

So, you're directing

a feature film now?

UTA went batshit for my script

so, I attached

myself as director.

They keep saying I'm

the next Lena Dunham.

Let me see your drawings.

Everyone uses software

now to storyboard

but, you still draw by

hand, that is so cute.

Your drawings are good.

You ever thought of

making this your career?

- No, no, I mean, I like drawing

but, I live for writing.

- David, have you even

written a screenplay yet?

It's just in our writers group

you never had anything to show.

- I'm outlining a

feature right now, okay,

and I am that much closer

to writing it everyday.

- Alright, whatever you say.

But, as a friend, if you're

that afraid to write,

move on now.

Don't waste the next

20 years of your life.

- I've gotta go, I've gotta

a lot of Christmas stuff.

- I'm only trying to help.

Hey, you can still

do my storyboards.

- I hated your writing, alright,

if you won an award,

it'd be the crappy.

Seriously, if he

read her script,

Billy Wilder would just puke.

- God, pick up the

shattered pieces

of your life and move on.

- Why are you so pissed?

Ya know, you have been in

a bad mood since we left.

And now my car is

overheating again.

Why does Christmas always suck?

Our Christmas tree.

- You're wasted.

- I got it, just, got it?

Hold this for a second.

What do you think?

Should we put the lights on it,

or do you think that

would cause like a fire?

- Okay, now I helped you

even though it totally

scratched up my arms.

You wanna give me like the

best Christmas gift ever?

- What?

- Let me go out alone tonight.

- Seriously?

- I have a friend, I just

want to hang out with him.

- With him?

- He's a dealer, okay,

I just want to chill

and smoke some weed, that's it.

- It's Christmas Eve.

- I need to get out

by myself, for once,

okay, I'm upset.

- What, you wanna leave

me alone on Christmas Eve?

- Please let me out,

please let me out.

- Why are you so upset?

- When I've been on Facebook,

I've been trying to reach Shawn.

In my head I'm always like,

"He doesn't know where I am,

"If he knew he would

come looking for me."

And I messaged him a bunch of

times and today he wrote back,

and he said, "Don't try

to find me again, ever."

Like I'm a crazy stalker,

I mean, he's the crazy one.

- Shawn is the

one that left you.

He is the reason you

were on the street.

- I knew you wouldn't

be supportive.

- Supportive?

I've been feeding you,

I've given you clothes.

- Oh, keeping me

inside like your pet.

- What did you expect, huh?

You wanted Shawn to

just come in here

and sweep you away?

Tell me.

- I love Shawn, okay, I'm

always gonna love him.

Sh*t.

- Do you even like me?

Or is this all pretend

so you can stay here?

Can I give you a ride somewhere?

California Christmas

California Christmas

It's got me down today

It's a California Christmas

And there's no snow

And there's no

one left to play

California dreamin'

- Hey baby, come on, come on.

- That's David.

This is Armstrong.

- Yo, hey, man, you want some

I mean, it's old but, I

think it's still good.

No?

Kat likes the spliff

but, I got other sh*t, man.

You can take that in

She gonna be stayin' a while.

Hey my baby, my friend's

gonna be so glad to see you.

We're gonna make

us a little extra

what I'm sayin'?

Ho ho ho.

- Hey Kat, can I talk

to you for a second?

What did he mean?

Is he gonna be your pimp, Kat?

- Don't pretend

like you care now.

- I can't believe

you're gonna do this.

- Yeah, make money,

get my own place.

- Oh, you think he'll

let that happen?

- I'll get a place, I'm

not taking any more sh*t

from every a**hole with a dick.
