Finding Amanda Page #9

- You're a writer?

- Yes.

- What you write?

- A T.V. Show.

- Wait, hold hold hold hold.

- Which one?

- I'd rather not say.

Oh, yeah? And I'd rather

not kick your ass.

- Which show?

- "Those MacAllister's."

"Those MacAllister's"?

No sh*t? You write that?

When I had two

f***in' hands, I did.

Wait, hold it, hold it.

No, hold on, hold on.

Come here, let me talk to

you for a minute. No.

Let me talk to you

for a minute.

You know, do you really

write that show?

- Yeah.

- Man, that sh*t is funny.

Man, I been thinking about getting

into the business, you know?

The television writing business?

Look, B.V.'s got this script.

Maybe you could look at it

with B.V., and check it out?

Maybe make some suggestions?

Better yet, hire B.V. for your show?

- You're kidding.

- No, I been thinking about

gettin' out of this business.

I'm tired of all these

b*tches and hoes, you know?

Too high-maintenance, man.

Stand up straight when I talk to you.

Look, I'm at a crossroad in my life.

I need a creative outlet.

Now, how many pages

should a script be?

For a standard half-hour

multi-camera?

- Yeah.

- About 44.

I only got seven.

Maybe, you know, you could take

it and add some stuff to it?

Like some pronouns, some

adverbs, some things like that?

Yeah, that'd be great.

Oh my God!

What happened?

Everything is good,

baby girl.

But you know what?

You should have told me that

this dude was your uncle.

It would have

changed everything.

You know, you need a ride

to the emergency room?

- No, I'm good.

- Well, you do well--

You stay on top of things.

I'll send you that script, okay?

- Oh, yeah, that'd be great.

- I'll deal with you later, all right?

- What?

- You guys knew that was her uncle?

- No.

- Didn't hear Amanda mention that.

You okay?

Where's my money?

You gave me $2,000.

Okay. Okay.

You shouldn't have

come here.

I need to get

to a hospital.

Yeah, I'll drive you.

No no no. You've been

drinking. I'll drive.

You tell me

which way to go.

You missed the exit.

I said you missed

the exit.

I'm not losing

my wife

and getting

my hand broken

and getting kicked out

of a casino for nothing.

Somebody's gonna pay

for this and it's you.

You're going

to rehab.

No, I am not.

Look around, honey.

I think you are.

- I'm getting out.

- Go ahead.

- I'm serious.

- Yeah, good, go ahead.

You want to kill

yourself anyway.

Yeah, come on,

hurry up.

- I'm gonna do it!

- Yeah, go ahead.

I'll speed up. I want to

make sure you get killed.

Because believe me, sweetheart,

nobody wants a whore in a wheelchair.

- You f***ing a**hole!

- Go ahead, do it.

Ahh!

Ow.

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Hi. Um, yeah.

My uncle kidnapped me

and he's taking me

to rehab in Malibu.

It's in California.

Um, I think it's called

Clark Baron or something.

Can you please

pick me up?

I have to pull off.

I can't drive anymore.

My hand.

I'll drive.

I don't think so.

Here.

Take it.

Thanks.

I'm not doing rehab.

As soon as you leave,

I'm out of there.

I'm just taking you there.

That's all I said I'd do.

What happens to you after

that, I don't give a sh*t.

If Greg ever sees you again,

he's gonna kick your ass so bad.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, he's wonderful.

You did real

well there, Amanda.

You've made a lot of bad

choices in your short life,

but Greg

really stands out.

Greg loves me.

Stop buying him stuff.

See how much he loves you then.

Someday, you're gonna see

what he's really like.

He'll do something

or say something

and it'll suddenly

be so clear to you

that your darling Greg

is a hateful, mouth-breathing,

abusive piece of sh*t.

Well, at least he's not

a 43-year-old drunk gambler.

No, that would

take talent.

You and me...

We live to make

bad choices.

We need a person

in our lives who--

who looks at us

when we f*** up and...

remembers who we were.

Who we could be.

You don't have someone like

that, all you have is you.

And sooner or later,

left to your own

brilliant,

damaged devices...

you just go spinning right

off the goddamn planet.

You lose that person...

You're done.

Oh my God!

Oh! Oh ho ho ho!

Oh, thank you, God!

You're here.

It's free.

Give it a shot.

Let me actually think that

I'm doing something good.

If I can do one good thing,

maybe I can string a few together.

I'm glad this

is all about you.

You're better

than your life, Amanda.

You have a room with

a canyon view.

- Hi.

- Long f***in' drive.

Now we gotta go

all the way back.

Aw.

Mmm, thanks for

coming, baby.

These glasses are crap.

Where'd you buy these?

You love me, don't you?

Like I really want to answer

stupid questions right now.

Did you have a girl

at the house last night?

No.

'Cause my uncle said

that he saw this girl--

Would you shut up

about that guy?

He doesn't even know

what he's talking about.

- No, Greg--

- Shut up!

You know, I don't even know

why we're sitting here talking.

I just want to

get the f*** home.

Don't ever hit me again.

Don't ever make me.

Hi, we're not here. Leave a message.

Oh, uh, Lorraine...

Lorraine, pick up.

Hey, I just dropped Amanda

off at rehab.

- I thought you'd want to know...

Seriously, pull the f*** over right now!

I'm going, I'm going.

I'm jumping.

You're f***ing crazy!

Jesus Christ.

I don't have f***in' time

to play games, all right?

So get in the f***in' car.

Get in the car.

Goodbye, Greg.

Is this because

you made me hit you?

- Is that the problem?

- Goodbye, Greg.

Gah! It's over.

F*** you. We're done.

That's right! And you know what?

I'm taking the f***ing truck,

I'm taking my clothes,

I'm taking everything!

So f*** you!

Gah!

I need gas money.

F*** you! B*tch!

- Where you headed?

- I'm not sure yet.

You better get in.

No, Dr. Franks

isn't here today.

Would you like to speak

with Dr. Baron?

I'll connect you.

Hi.

Can I help you?

Yes. You have a room

with a canyon view

for Amanda Keene?

Yes.

Is she here?

I'm her.
