Um, it's fine. What's going on?

Well, I needed to talk to you.

Uh, your dad and I can't

cover your tuition right now.

What do you mean?

We're overextended with the

huge pay cut your dad has taken.

You said it would be fine.

It will be, don't worry.

It just means you take out

some loans.

No, I don't want to do that.

Dad was still paying off

his medical school loans

until I was in middle school.

I'll be in debt for the rest

of my life.

I'm so sorry, sweetie.

You know if we had the money

we would give it to you.

Maybe you should talk

to financial aid.

How did the meeting go?

Horrible. It's like

I'm in no man's land.

My parents make too much money

to qualify for financial aid

but not enough

to actually pay for school.

I don't know what

I'm supposed to do.

I don't know.

You could get a job on campus.

Tuition is $4,300 a month.

I couldn't even make a dent

in that

with the types of jobs

I could get.

Don't waitresses

make good money?

I'm guessing you haven't

waitressed.

No. I always wanted a summer job

but my family goes to

the Cape every summer.

You're lucky.

I did it once at a pie house

and the tips were awful,

the customers were rude,

it was kind of degrading.

Can't you take out loans?

I don't want to be in debt

for the rest of my life.

You know what? Screw it.

I'll start a Ponzi scheme.

That's too much work.

You could rob a bank?

Or become a porn star.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Sorry, I just can't sleep.

Hello?

Is this Belle?

Uh, this is she.

Hey, sweetheart.

You got a nice voice.

How're you doin'?

I'm fine.

Good. Listen, we got the picture

you posted.

We thought you looked just

like the kind of sexy girl

we're looking for this weekend.

Have you worked before or

will this be your first scene?

This'll be my first.

Uh, what's the site?

Facial Assault.

We're a hardcore fetish site.

Oh. I don't think so.

You sure?

It's $1,200 for one day of work.

We'll fly you to New York,

put you up in a nice hotel.

You said you were into BDSM.

Easy money.

Come on, it'll be a piece

of cake.

Honey, I'm home.

What? Where're you goin'?

Oh, uh... my friend Amy is

having kind of a meltdown

so I'm gonna visit her

this weekend in DC.

I just organized a movie

marathon slash pajama jammie jam

with a bunch of people.

You'd like them.

Awe, fun.

What's up?

Hey. Miriam, you remember Jeff,

right?

Yeah.

Hey.

You coming tonight?

No. She's going to visit

her friend Amy.

Wait, she's in Georgetown,

right?

Bring me back the digits

of a future senator.

I mean it, girl.

Ok, I'll see what I can do.

There she is.

Belle, sweetheart,

come on in here.

Hi.

Sienna over there is gonna

do your make up,

get you changed.

Are you excited?

I am.

It's your first scene, right?

Yes.

We love first timers, huh?

Oh yeah.

It's gonna be a lot of fun.

Hi, uh... I'm Miria-

I mean Belle.

Yeah.

Sienna. Have a seat, hun.

I've never had my makeup done.

Yeah, well.

Guys like it natural so I'm

just gonna bump you up a bit.

Ok.

This is what they want you

to wear.

You got shoes?

Yeah. Um... where

should I change?

Right here.

We're all about to see it all,

anyways.

There's a bathroom

just down the hall.

I need you to sign this release

before we get going.

It just says you get paid

after we finish the scene,

nobody's gonna sue anybody,

you're eighteen, blah blah blah.

Just sign it.

There you go.

You're leaving?

Yeah.

I don't stay for the shoots,

hun.

Belle, this is your co-star,

Buck.

He likes to uh... well,

you know.

Hi. It's nice to meet you.

Yeah, sure.

This is gonna be a fun one.

Alright, let's roll.

Have a seat.

So, what's your name?

Um, Belle Knox.

Belle, like Beauty and

the Beast, you know?

Oh, you like fairy tales?

We got a real special

fairy tale for ya.

You a slut, Belle?

We'll see about that.

How old are you?

What do you do, slut?

Um, I'm eighteen

and I go to college.

Oh, what do you study?

Women's studies and law.

Yeah? Women's studies?

Are you a feminist?

Yeah.

A femi-Nazi,

that's what we call 'em.

What're you doing

at Facial Assault?

You must really be a dumb slut.

Um... I like rough sex.

You think so, huh?

Do you have any idea

what you're in for?

I don't think she does.

We're gonna teach you

a lesson in feminism

you will never forget.

You know, you got

a really dumb laugh.

Why don't you shut up?

Stand up.

Wait! Wait!

Take off your top.

Ok.

He's got something to put

in your mouth

that's gonna make you shut up.

No, wait, stop!

Stop! Time out!

You're actually hurting me,

that's not what I signed up for.

That's exactly what you

signed up for

and if you don't finish

this scene you don't get paid.

It's very unprofessional,

though.

We all showed up to work.

You'll never work again.

No, it's ok. I'll finish.

But you don't have to hit

so hard.

I can make it look real, ok?

Yeah, ok.

Ok, let's do it.

Oh, so you're a cutter.

I said open your mouth!

You can't cut away the fact

that are a worthless, dumb slut.

Hello?

Hey, Mir. How's Duke?

How's everything?

It's so awesome.

The campus is so beautiful.

I'm just at the church helping

with the food drive and uh,

I thought of you because, well,

you basically organized

this whole thing last year.

Everyone keeps asking about you.

Really?

That's nice.

Mir...

What's wrong?

I can hear it in your voice.

It's stupid.

I'm just kinda homesick.

It's really lonely here.

That's totally normal.

It's a big change, you know?

Just take some deep breaths.

I know you're gonna crush it

on campus.

Thank you, Paulie.

I love you.

I love you, too, kiddo.

I know you're gonna have

the time of your life.

I promise.

Why couldn't I have seen

all of this before?

Hello?

Hi. Is this Don at Pinnatus

Models?

Yeah, how can I help you?

Can I sit?

Hi. Uh... my name is Belle

and I just did my first scene

with a site called

Facial Assault.

Facial Assault are

unprofessional clowns

that pray on women

new to the business.

Your first scene should be

something nice and sweet,

like girl on girl.

Not hardcore facial.

You probably didn't even have

a safe word.

No. What is that?

Everyone on set,

before the cameras roll,

is given a safe word.

So then, while you're shooting,

if anyone feels uncomfortable

you just call out the safe word,

everyone stops

what they're doing

and makes sure

that everyone's ok.

That's actually

why I'm calling you.

I'm wondering how

your agency works.

I mean, I'm a student and I

really need to pay my tuition.

It's a super expensive school.

What's the school?

Duke.

Duke.

Ah, that's the school

for smart kids.

Nobody can know so I have to

work when I'm not in school.

Well, send me some pictures.

That's the first thing

you gotta do,

and if I decide to represent

you,

you can make some

real money even only working

on the weekends.

Ok. Thank you so much for being

so nice.

I'm not being nice, Belle.
