Ellie Parker Page #5

Isten, did you take something.

- Don't laugh at me. Did you?

- Yes.

- What did you take?

- Vicodin.

I knew you did. You took it out

of my medicine cabinet, didn't you?

Ellie, did you take

a Vicodin out of my...

- You know, I had four there...

- Just loosen up.

...that I had been saving.

That's just entitlement.

Oh, my God!

I think Keanu likes me.

- You're just transparent.

- I'm sorry.

Obvious.

Ellie? Ellie Parker?

Ellie, hey... Give me one minute.

- F*** you!

- No, wait. Wait, come on.

Et me talk to you

about this, please. No, please.

- Rot in hell!

- Ellie, give me a minute!

You have a callback. I've been

trying to get in touch with you.

- Don't f*** with me.

- I'm not. It's for "Delta Breeze".

They really wanna see you on this.

You have a really good shot.

- Wait.

- It's on Friday.

- Hello?

- Ellie.

- Sam!

- Excuse me. Ellie, Friday!

- Oh, my God, where are you?

- I have a ride home.

Which one?

Yeah, all right, bye.

- Sam, wait. Slut!

- Hi, sorry. I was looking for you.

They kicked me out. I know the guys

and they kicked me out of the place.

This gorilla just grabbed me

and like threw me out.

- I told him I've known them for...

- I lost you, I'm sorry.

You okay? Can I give you

a ride home or something?

- No. I just wanna sit here.

- Okay.

- You wanna keep drinking?

- Yeah!

- Wait, can you drive?

- Well, I'm too drunk to walk.

Oh, for a muse of fire...

that would ascend

the brightest sky of invention.

A kingdom for a stage.

A princess to act...

and monarchs to behold

this welling scene.

Slut!

Well, look what the cat dragged in.

What are you auditioning for?

"Straight Shooters",

new cop show on Fox!

I didn't get to go on that.

Yeah, well, I don't think

you're right for it.

What part is it?

Jamie, ex-playmate, now cop.

Jamie joined the APD because her

daddy was killed in the line of duty!

Jamie's extreme beauty betrays

her will power and feline ambition!

Men on the force soon realize she is

a force to be reckoned with...

after she out shoots them all

in a downtown bank robbery.

Right?

Where's your gun?

F***, I don't have a gun!

Sh*t, I need a gun.

Good luck.

I wanna hear all about last night.

Help yourself to a donut.

I was getting in character.

Ellie, I need you to take out

the garbage, like, even once.

Girl, no. It's serious,

I'm not lying. He is gay.

I know. I know it's so crazy.

Hang on.

- Can you just tell Dennis I'm here?

- Yeah, what's your name?

- Ellie Parker.

- Hold on. Virtual Management.

Forget it.

Wait!

Excuse me. Excuse me!

Miss? Excuse me, miss,

you cannot just walk back here!

My name is not "miss". Ellie Parker,

and you should know that by now.

Say it.

Say my name.

- Say it.

- Ellie Parker.

- Hi.

- Why don't we calm down?

Come into my office.

Sit, sit.

What is going on with you, I mean...

Bursting in here

like a big drama queen.

If you were only that good

in your auditions.

I quit.

I quit.

I can't do this anymore, Dennis.

No, I honestly cannot remember...

the reasons I wanted to become

an actress in the first place.

I used to dream

about being an artist...

and enlightening the human

condition, and now this is...

It's all a... It's a big...

You know?

Ellie, everyone on the team here...

is trying their best

to keep you working.

I don't think

there's any disagreement...

of what an extraordinary

actress you are.

People wanna hire confidence.

You know,

when you walk in that room...

they don't wanna know

about vulnerability or desperation.

You know, it just makes them

uncomfortable, that's all.

Did someone say something?

No, I just think it's good karma

for us to talk honestly.

I think your spirit's been broken

a little bit, and they sense that.

It only reminds them

of their own weaknesses.

Yeah, well, I don't give

a sh*t anymore.

I don't.

What about that "Cruel City"?

Did I get a callback on that?

Oh, they wanted a name.

Who?

- Eslie Bibb.

- Who the f*** is eslie Bibb?

Who is that?

- You're being hostile.

- I'm bitter too!

You said I'm a good actress.

What is so wrong with me?

- What makes me unhirable?

- You're brilliant!

You know what?

I want all my head shots...

my compilation tapes,

anything else you might have of mine.

Pack it up. I'm done, Dennis.

I'm through!

Ellie, I really think you ought

to think about this, I mean...

one doesn't make such a big decision

because they had a bad day.

I thought about it a lot, actually.

And it is the hardest decision

I ever had to make.

Apart from have

or not have an abortion.

Rainbow, I want you to get a box...

and collect all of Ellie Parker's

head shots and all of her videotapes.

Put them in the box, bring

in the box, hold my calls. Bye.

That's it? You're not even going

to try to talk me out of it?

Come on, Dennis,

you can try, you know? I...

I cannot interfere in

other people's destiny. I can't.

Are you okay?

Vanessa left me.

Oh, my God, Dennis!

Sorry.

What happened?

Well, she caught me

f***ing around on her.

Oh, my God!

I don't mean to laugh, I...

I hope you're okay.

Thank you. For trying.

You look good.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Suspiciously good.

Have you had some work done?

- You have, haven't you?

- A tiny, tiny bit.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God, Dennis!

Et me see!

I'm only telling you this 'cause

you're not my client anymore!

Good work.

Good luck in whatever

you decide to do, Ellie Parker.

Bye, Ellie.

Yes, this is your baby, Sebastian.

You know how I know it's yours?

Because it's a cancer!

It's a like a tumor growing inside

of me! I want it out of me!

No, you look at me!

You look at me now!

Do you understand?

Please, get away!

"The Tides of Passion"

will return after these messages.

I know this is out of the blue, but

I just have been thinking about you.

I just feel it's too long

since we've spoken.

There's some changes going on and...

Anyway, I'm just trying to connect.

Pick up!

I've been really busy and...

not been able to catch up with

any friends and now it's the time.

I owe you so many phone calls

and I know...

you're wondering why I'm calling,

but I really wanna speak to you.

I want to tell you everything

that's going on and...

see how you're doing...

see if you're all right.

I know some great things have

been happening to you, and I just...

I broke up with Justin and...

Anyway, please, can you call me?

I really would like to speak to you.

I'm really, really sorry

I haven't called. I don't know.

Can you call me, please, Sally?

Hi, Sally, it's me again.

I'm so sorry.

You must think I'm a total freak.

I don't know what came over me!

But I'm really fine.

It would be good to see you.

I hope all is going well. I just

wanna, you know, meet the baby...

and see how things are going.

Wow, he must be

getting big now, uke.

Uke or was it uce? Uce...

I don't know if it was an old message

or something, but anyway...

I'm returning your call.

F***!

Hi, it's Ellie. How are you?
