Well, I have one, so,

I used it once.

OK, All right, | Well, what happened?

Um, I got stuck in the chair,

You used it in a chair?

Well, yeah, | that's what's on the box,

Different ways. I've never...

Not in a chair. I've never...

Well,

gift-giving... | you know, it's an art,

You should have | the person in mind...

OK, I'm sorry, I thought | you'd like it, I like it...

Well, that's... | but you should give people...

what you think | they would want...

you know, something personal.

How much more personal | could that be?

But then, you and that guy... | what was his name?

- Tom, | - Tom,

Yeah. You sat at | the other end of the table...

and just stared | at each other the whole time.

You didn't even | really socialize.

Oh, my God, Oh, my God, | Lee, forgive me, OK?

I happened to be in love... | for a brief period of time,

Once... which happened | to include,

the week of your birthday,

- This is all a year later, | - You don't get it,

Christ!

You know what? | Gift... it's a gift,

A gift is a gift, | Don't question it,

At least not to the giver | and out loud a whole year later,

Chr...

OK, now I know,

Well, that it meant something | to you,

What?

Just the whole thing, | that you put thought into it,

You know, | it's for your small change.

FRANCESCA:
So he gives me | this injection...

and I become invisible.

And I can do anything, right?

Because, you know, | I'm invisible.

What do I do? I go to | one of my colleagues, Carl...

and I make him | sign a confession...

while I hold a knife | to his neck.

Now, it's just weird, | because I really like Carl.

He's a brilliant,

completely misunderstood | by his boss,

Well, you know, I'm not | surprised he was in my dream,

really, because | I think of him a lot,

I think I'm actually...

MAN:
Wheel in Nicholas. | We're ready for him.

It's funny, because | he's one of these guys...

You know what? | I want to tell you,

what I think about that,

OK, I'll be here... listening,

Hey, Pitty,

Hey, man, What's going on?

OK, exactly the same thing, | We're starting from over here,

It took me a little bit...

I needed to do this | with track,

instead of just the walk-up,

so we're gonna do | a little bit of a push-in,

There's probably | going to be some focus stuff,

so we're gonna shoot a few,

OK,

But just split the extras | as they come through...

don't be precious about it,

Tell them we're coming through,

I will, I will,

R-139, take one,

And background action... action!

Move! Move!

- Out of the way! | - Goddamn it,

Uh, looks like we're late,

Looks like,

Back to square one,

That's what he thinks,

You think different?

Like the back | of my big ten-inch,

- Oh, | - Come on,

CARL:
One minute | I'm drinking a beer...

and the next minute | I'm unemployed.

How does that happen?

He said I have confused,

my personality quirks | with standards,

What the f***?

CARL:
You have no idea | what I have lost just now.

This goes way beyond this job. | I could lose everything.

The ripple effect. | It's the ripple effect.

It's like,"Oh, yeah, | by the way, you're fired. "

"Oh, yeah, honey, by the way...

"uh, you don't think | I'm so great.

"Guess what? They don't think | I'm so great at work.

"Hey, maybe I'm not so great. "

Hey, that's simple. | Well, there, I can write that.

I can write, | "I'm not so great. "

Maybe I can write it...

a hundred-f***ing-thousand | times on a blackboard...

Oh, I can teach. | I used to teach.

I love teaching. | I do love teaching.

R-139, take 49, mark!

MAN:
OK, here we go! | And background! Action!

BRAD., Move!

- Out of the way! | - Move!

- Move! | - Out of the way!

Ohh, Looks like we're late,

Looks like,

Back to square one,

That's what he thinks,

You think different?

I know different,

Come on,

- Cut it! | - OK, we got.

Nice one.

Very nice, very nice,

Check the gate, Check the gate,

BRAD., Lunch?

OK,

So, David, David,

No, no, Absolutely, | Lunch... go ahead,

Nice scene, man,

Thanks,

Would you not take a role | if you felt,

the people of the black | community wouldn't like it?

Hmm,

This guy that lives | in my neighborhood...

lives right across the street | from me,

And he dresses like... | yeah, yeah,

He dresses like a vampire | twenty-four hours a day,

I don't know if he's got a job, | I don't know what he does,

but I know | he dresses like a vampire,

like Dracula all the damn time,

- You want to go? | - Mm,

I mean, look,

buying romaine lettuce | dressed as Dracula,

so you got to figure,

he's an actor, right? | He's got to be,

Well, you could find out,

Yeah, The point is, the answer | to your question is,

if I needed the money, | abso-f***ing-lutely,

Absolutely, | Now, am I proud of that?

No, | But, yeah, I'd take it,

'cause, look,

- OK, Are they gonna say cut? | - I don't know,

OK, what's going on?

- OK, can somebody... | - Did they call cut?

Well, can somebody | communicate... OK,

Bonnie, Bonnie, this is

Fran, listen, listen,

next time we do this, | could you give me...

more to work with | on this whole attraction...

What do you mean? | That was good, huh?

We can't hear in there, though, | We can't hear anything,

No, 'cause I'm not feeling | the whole sexual chemistry,

No, no, but remember,

you gotta leave yourself | somewhere to go,

for the second letter | at the airport,

All right, Oh! | All right, all right,

Right?

In the way it's got to build,

you got to give me | something to go on,

- We had it going before, | - Did he call?

- Yeah, | - It's not working for me,

OK, well, if you're | going to stay for lunch,

let's talk about | whatever it is...

No, I gotta run an errand, | so next time... and maybe it's me,

All right,

We'll figure it out, | Don't worry about it,

All right. I think it was good! | Oh, thanks.

No, it's the movie,

As far as he's concerned,

CALVIN:
Hey, can you | hold that door for me?

- Sure, | - Thank you,

Got it?

Excuse me,

CARL:
Oh, the film. | Well, the film...

Artie and I wrote this.

We started working together...

really writing together, | about a year ago.

We tossed around | a couple of ideas.

And Artie's a pretty good | playwright in his own right.

And we thought, | you know, maybe this...

sort of my understanding | of Hollywood and everything...

and his ability | to actually write...

would be a good combination...

and so we came up | with this idea...

for what is now | Rendezvous, the movie.

It's almost like a spy film | in the intrigue...

of this romantic encounter...

between this guy | that Calvin plays...

I'm sorry, there's a...

Uh, and this woman.

And anyway, | I think it's a neat story.

And I think it's a great cast.

Um, uh, but, uh...

Yeah. I'm sorry, | I have some... it's weird.

I'm really happy about | the project. I really am.

I got... you know, there's... | I've got issues with some of...

Actually, Calvin. Calvin is, | I think, I don't know...

You know, other people...

get more excited about him | than I do.
