Imperfections Page #2

Synopsis: Cassidy Harper (Virginia Kull) is a struggling actress sleeping on her mother's couch (Marilu Henner) and grinding out auditions, fearing that any chance at stardom may have already passed her by. Desperate to save enough money to move to Hollywood, she takes a job working as a runner for her mother's boyfriend (Ed Begley, Jr.), an importer in Chicago's diamond district. When she realizes the money is trickling in too slowly for her to put a stake together, she conspires with the owner's son (Ashton Holmes) to stage a robbery and keep the diamonds - using her former boyfriend (Zach McGowan) as the fall guy. Their hare-brained scheme only gets more complicated when she realizes she's still in love with her volatile ex.

- I'm sure we can figure it out.

What about the

insurance company?

- I left a letter

on your desktop.

- There's no letter on my desk.

- On your computer desktop.

- We keep having

this conversation.

Efficiency every

dollar you waste

adds another day until I retire.

Do good tell your mom I said hi.

- He seems okay.

- Yeah, he's a doll.

Anyway when you're

not schlepping around,

you can be here helping us

with doing filing stuff.

I actually have a

delivery for you right now

if you're up for it.

Yeah, you'll be going to Hatoum,

which is 224 south Wabash.

So just put this in your

pocket just be cool.

- That's it.

- Yeah, we already

had you bonded.

Just sign here.

- What happened to the last girl

that did this job?

- She was killed in a robbery.

- What's in the envelope?

- Two diamonds.

- Worth how much?

- About 23,5.

- Sh*t.

- Why don't you come

right back here afterwards

I have another delivery for you.

- Okay, here I go wish me luck.

- Vaya con Dios.

- I like your earrings.

Is that tourmaline?

- Sorry me no English.

- Here, here, here, here you go.

- Thank you.

- Okay, ba-bye.

- Yeah, that's really it.

I just bring the stuff to

the other stores in the area.

When there's no deliveries,

do a little computer stuff.

Easy peasy Japanesey.

- Well, try to pick

up a few things.

You know learning a trade

that could be really

great for you.

- I have a trade thank you.

Gross look at this picture

that Tanya just

posted to Instagram.

It's actually sad.

- Is that the quantum leap guy?

- Uh-huh.

- Man, she's really

doing great, huh?

- Please she

did like one commercial.

- Well, it's a start.

- I'm actually thinking of

going back out there myself.

It'll be different this time.

I'm in a much better

place emotionally.

- You really wanna subject

yourself to another

best defense.

- One time eight years ago

we are still having

this conversation.

- Well, it's a

legitimate question.

Alright we can talk about

something else fine.

- So you and Barry

are you like serious?

- I don't know.

We've only been on a few

days, but I like him.

Yeah, he's funny,

and he listens to me, he does.

You know he's not just waiting

until the next time

he has to talk,

and he's old fashioned.

He always grabs for the check.

- I thought a modern woman

should always pay her own way?

- No, it's to

emasculating that way.

Yeah, it makes it hard for

him to be the aggressor.

- Oh, god, mom, please stop.

- You know sometimes

it would be nice

to get a little support

from you for once.

- You're right.

Tell me about his

dick is it thick?

- What?

- Veiny.

- What get that

out of your mouth.

- Come on, Valerie,

can we please

get the fingerprints

on the glass?

It looks like somebody's

been eating ribs over here.

- Sure, Wendy.

- Dude, you gotta

get out of here.

- No, I am not starting

from the bottom again.

I've got nine years

till social security.

If I don't die from

inhaling Shalimar,

I'll be fine.

- Here's the stuff from Meyer,

and I already filed the

stuff from Algonquin.

- You've got this down.

- Well, I did go to college.

- What'd you study?

- Theater.

- I don't think that counts.

- The fruits of your labor.

- Thank you.

Barry, Barry, are you

sure this is right?

- What did you think

it was gonna be?

- Well, we never

actually talked about...

- well, now you know

see you tomorrow.

- Sorry.

- This is pitiful.

How am I supposed

- saving for

something important?

- Hey, will you teach

me something about

I don't know this stuff?

- What do you wanna know?

- I don't know.

Show me the difference

between diamonds.

- Okay.

Come over here.

Stay here.

- F***ing FICA.

- Now each part of the

diamond has a name.

The top half is

called the crown,

the bottom is the pavilion,

the point at the

bottom is the Culet,

and then the flat part on

top is called the table.

- How much is this one worth?

- This is a five caret diamond

ideal cut, hearts and

arrows, gs-1 color

retails around 180.

- Dude, seriously you

guys have that much money?

- It's all credit.

We get stones in on memo.

We sell what we can,

and we return the rest.

If my dad could

liquidate and retire

believe me he would.

- I gotta say it just looks

like all the other ones.

Maybe a little bigger.

- No, it has no inclusions.

Those are the little flaws

that interfere with the light

that passes through the diamond.

- I don't approve of that

kind of perfectionism.

I think flaws

should be embraced.

- Yeah.

- If I ever get engaged,

I hope my fiance gives me

a ring that's all flaws.

- Well, as long as

he buys it from me.

I should put this back.

Would you mind getting that?

- Why butch Cassidy Harper,

as I live and breathe.

- What are you doing here, ray?

- I'm interested in some

expensive and vulgar jewelry.

- Hey, hey, hey

is everything okay?

- Who the f*** is this then?

- That's my boss.

- Who the f*** am I, man.

Who the f*** are you?

- Look at this a tough guy.

That bat better have

a little gun in it.

- Ray, you need to go.

- No, no, no let him stay.

I pushed the button

for the alarm.

The cops will be

here any minute.

They'd love to kick

the sh*t out of him.

- Ray, I work here.

Why would you come here?

How did you find me?

- I don't know I saw you

walking downtown this afternoon.

I sort of followed you.

- What the f***, ray?

Do I need to get a

restraining order?

- No, of course not I would...

F***.

Sorry, Cass, really.

I'm sorry I just

wanna talk is all.

Will you call me?

- Go.

- Okay, sorry, sorry,

boss man not her fault.

I'm an idiot.

- She said go.

- Okay, sorry, Cass.

Sorry, Cass.

Please call there's some

stuff I need to say, okay.

Okay, I'm leaving.

It was good to see you.

- I am so sorry.

- Not your fault.

- I don't need my

radioactive life

contaminating your

office goddamn him.

- Look it's okay.

Really, really it's no big deal.

How about we go get dinner.

I'm starving come on I'm buying.

- You don't need to do that.

- No, I want to.

I'm gonna go get

my coat don't move.

Stay here.

Believe me I'm not

hanging around here

waiting to take over

the family business.

Forgive me but I'm aiming for

something higher than that.

I've got a couple things

going on right now.

- Yeah.-

Yeah.

Some businesses I'm

trying to start up.

I'm actually working on

something huge actually.

I wanna tell you about it,

but you can't talk about it

especially with my dad

and your mom too I guess.

- No, of course.

- I was in the

Caribbean last year,

and I went to this

island called Dominica.

They make this

incredible rum there

like insanely delicious.

The legend is, is that it

even helps men, you know

- get raging boners.

- Basically.

- Does it work?

- Yes.

- Liquor and boners sound

like the kind of thing

old white dudes

would be really into.

- I know right.

- Can you get the

eagles in there somehow?

- Look if this thing takes off,
