Girl Most Likely Page #9

Synopsis: Kristen Wiig stars as Imogene, a failed New York playwright awkwardly navigating the transition from Next Big Thing to Last Year's News. After both her career and relationship hit the skids, she's forced to make the humiliating move back home to New Jersey with her eccentric mother and younger brother (Annette Bening and Christopher Fitzgerald). Adding further insult to injury, there's a strange man sleeping in her old bedroom (Darren Criss) and an even stranger man sleeping in her mother's bed (Matt Dillon). Through it all, Imogene eventually realizes that as part of her rebuilding process she must finally come to love and accept both her family and her Jersey roots if she's ever going to be stable enough to get the hell away from them.

Oh, my God!

Honey!

Armando.

Don't even think about it.

Don't shoot. We'll

co-operate, all right?

Here.

Don't shoot.

Everyone in there!

You have a gun?

What the

hell are you saying?

Mom?

Come any closer, you die!

No, honey!

How did you find me?

We're being robbed, just

give him your purse.

The briefcase is in the

closet over there.

That's what you want, isn't it?

Who are you, man?

Lady, why don't you go

get me the briefcase.

You're still smarting

over Antwerp, aren't you?

You really think

there's a game to be won here?

Don't try any heroics.

Just let them go and kill me.

They don't know anything.

Oh, you're right.

Except maybe what I look like.

What kind of a gun I have.

Maybe I should give them

my mailing address, too,

so after I kill them,

they can send me a postcard from hell!

What the f***?

Somebody grab the gun!

Shocking news in Ocean City tonight,

where police arrested

an international assassin

for holding a government

operative and his family at gunpoint.

However, the attack was thwarted

when a family member used a device

known as the Human Shell...

- Yo.

- ...to overcome their captor.

Hey, shut up. Shut up!

Michelle Connors is

live now at the scene.

I know this guy.

Hi, Paul. I'm here with

one of the victims, Ralph Duncan,

who is also the inventor

of the Human Shell.

Oh, sh*t.

Well, I am the one

who created the Human Shell,

which is the ultimate

protective barrier against bodily harm,

but really it was my sister

who saved our family.

Hey, you guys

want to get a shot of us over here?

Hello. Hey, honey.

So tell us about the shell.

Yes, Michelle, I will

tell you about the shell.

The shell is a creation of mine...

So he took me with him, right?

And they have this machine

where you can win a $20 gold piece.

And on my third try, it hit.

So there I am, I'm talking about all the

things I'm gonna spend it on.

And my grandpa stops me and he says,

"Oh, no, I can't ever

spend it because..."

Um...

Oh, sh*t, What did he say?

Mom, come on.

Right, right, right.

He says,

"I can't ever spend it because as

long as I have it in my pocket,

"I will always be a winner."

So I kept it.

You're giving it to me?

We gotta keep it in the family.

Mom.

Life is a brief flickering.

Well, sometimes the

darkness is self-imposed.

And to accuse your daughter of a crime

may indeed be the best way to find her.

There's the poster. Here's everybody.

Everybody getting in their limo.

Rock stars after a great show.

There's the Bousche!

I'm going to have to confiscate this.

That's my phone.

There can be no

physical evidence of my existence.

Look, if you give me your number,

I'll talk to The Times

about doing a feature article.

- Really?

- I'm so sorry.

By the way, this is Whit Stillman,

superb writer and filmmaker.

Delighted to meet you.

I liked the play so much.

I'd love to ask you some

questions about it.

- Do you have any time?

- Imogene!

Hurry up already.

We're paying by the hour here.

Um, you know what?

I'm sorry. I, uh... I have to go.

My family is waiting for me.

I have to go.

Everybody! Three!

Two, one!
