Ellie Parker Page #3

- Do you have pen and paper?

- You have blue stuff on your face.

- Are you sure you're okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Et me just back up.

I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving.

- Are you sure you're okay?

- I've got your number plate.

- Do not drive away.

- I promise I won't drive away.

- Wow, my car is fine, so...

- Well, that makes sense.

You wanna try to maybe snap this

back on? Try to drive home.

It won't touch here. I'll get...

- Wow, what are these things?

- It's very expensive that dress.

These are my pills, they are

homeopathic, they're for...

healing...

- You're an actress?

- Yes.

- I like your picture.

- Thanks.

I'm incredibly sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Don't worry. Don't worry

about this. It's fine, it's cool.

I'll give you my phone number...

Okay, I can't give you my phone

number, but if you give me yours...

- I'll give you mine and...

- I got your license plate...

and I'd like your

driver's license number.

- Okay, cool.

- Okay.

- So...

- I'm really sorry.

- I'll give you my phone number.

- Okay, great.

Make sure when you call

say it's about the car accident.

Okay. Are you under

house arrest or something?

No, I'm just...

I'm breaking up with

my boyfriend. It's just...

- What did you say you do?

- You didn't ask me.

- Sorry. You asked me.

- I'm a cinematographer.

Oh, really? In films?

No, I want to. I'm shooting

commercials right now.

- Oh, nice.

- But I'd like to shoot films.

Sometimes cinematographers

turn into filmmakers, don't they?

Yeah. There are a lot of people...

who were cinematographers

and now they're filmmakers.

If you wanna do any kind

of experimental ideas...

or whatever, shoot it, just

make a short film, I'd love to.

- Really? That's great.

- I'm gonna give you my head shot.

Oh, great.

- You look better.

- Well, then don't take this.

Here's the bit with my agent's

number, keep that. Is it an eye?

Can I have an eye? Oh, I like

this part, that's really nice.

- You could do that...

- That's good. But I still...

You know, you're welcome

to stay for as long as you need to.

Thanks.

At least you won't have to listen

to those stupid songs anymore.

Or have to watch him play guitar.

- That's awful.

- It's like watch him masturbate.

That's so beautiful.

God, I just wish I could disappear

into some great role, you know?

Not just a cop, or a lawyer,

or a girlfriend.

I wanna play a real person,

you know?

God, it's so dry out there.

We really need some rain.

You know what would be great?

To play a schizophrenic woman.

A blind lesbian anthropologist.

Yeah, yeah. It's the 1700's, and

she's got dengue fever, and she's...

studying baboons.

Wouldn't that be good?

- Lf I should I hire a lawyer?

- Maybe...

- What's that f***ing noise?

- Don't know. Someone should shoot.

I feel like Humpty Dumpty.

Maybe I should hire a publicist.

Maybe I should set myself on fire.

Who?

- Where are you?

- I'm sorry.

You know, I think I'm a little

hypoglycemic. Ook at me, shaking.

I need some food, quickly.

I haven't eaten for like 2 hours.

Come on, let's go.

Isten.

- Isten.

- I think it's Justin.

F***, Ellie!

- Hi. Et me in.

- No!

- Go away!

- You said you loved me.

- What?

- You said you loved me.

F*** you! I don't hate

myself enough to love you!

I hate you.

I'm f***ing trying to sleep.

F*** you!

Cock breath, I don't know what kind

of soap opera you think you're in...

F*** off, you f***ing cow.

How's that?

F*** me? F*** me?

F*** you!

Justin. Sam! Honey...

Go, she's coming!

She's coming!

F***.

How dare you come here

after what you've done to her...

and how dare you call me a cow?

F*** off!

- F*** off!

- Don't hurt him!

- Get in!

- Are you all right, Justin?

- He has a violent history.

- All right.

I want my green shirt back.

That's good.

He was retarding you, Ellie,

and this...

He was this f***ing... It'll be good

for you to stay alone for a while.

No, no, no. I'm gonna go

insane if I'm alone.

I just wanna be in a relationship

where I can be myself, you know?

I don't have to be what I think

the man wants me to be.

We live in a place where everyone

is pretending to be someone else.

What happens when you start becoming

the person you're pretending to be?

Well, I think you become

the person that wears mini skirts.

That's... I like that.

You know, the thing is it's gonna

be good for your work, Ellie.

This sh*t informs it, you know that.

Once you get passed it, think about

what it will bring to the roles.

And probably you'll get

better roles from it.

- Don't you think?

- Yeah, you could be right.

Right.

I've got a couple of good rolls.

I wouldn't complain

about those rolls.

What about that roll?

That's one great roll.

Isn't it?

That's a roll I'll never get.

No, you'll just get stuck

with old big parts.

This is what it must feel like to

have a cock. I wish I had a cock.

Why? That's so unfair!

That's so 70's of you.

Remember when the future

was a promise?

Now it's like a threat.

You think I look old?

Don't be ridiculous.

I don't wanna die.

What are you saying?

What are you saying?

What if, what if I... I...

dropped dead? What if

I had cancer? What if I...

had an aneurism? What if?

I would be so sad if you died.

I would go to your funeral.

- You do?

- I'd get a new dress.

I'd pound your coffin

and try to scream:

"Get up! Get up!

Give me one last hug!"

- You're making like it's a scene.

- No, I'm just serious.

I don't want a scene. I'm serious.

No, I love you, darling.

I love you.

I love you.

You're my best friend.

Now just picture you're in a big

bathtub filled with Jell-O right now.

Orange Jell-O.

Et every part of yourself

just sink into the floor.

Et go of your Hollywood crap...

trying to be Gwyneth Paltrow

or Brad Pitt...

your agents,

your casting directors.

Just let them all go up

into a big ball of fire.

Okay, now I want you to ask your

creative source to give you an event.

An event when

you were 10 years-old.

You can go right into that event,

as if you were in a time machine.

Really be there.

Good, Ellie.

Et go of the tension on your face.

This is not a therapy session.

This is acting.

Good, you're 9 years-old, vomiting.

There's no one there to help you.

Et it all relax.

Ook at me.

Esbian.

- Go!

- Esbian! Esbian! Esbian!

- Good.

- It's not appropriate!

- It's not appropriate!

- Good.

And just say like a little scream

into your pillow. A little scream.

My little brother was standing there

with one of my Barbies in his hand.

And her hair was on fire.

Stop it, Toby!

And he was burning my curtains.

Beautiful.

That was beautiful.

Then we sit down at the dining

room table, like she tells us to.

And she brings

these huge plates. Plates...

pilled high:
Steak, chips...

carrots, peas, like this

enormous amount of food.

And we're like:
"Mom, what are you

doing? What are you doing? No!"

And she's like force-feeding us,

putting it in our mouth.
