Imperfections Page #6

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.

- Bye.

- Hey, Julie, Bob said

you wanted to see me.

- Yeah, I have some bad news.

- Sh*t.

- I'm sorry, ray.

You're a real hard worker, but

the local's busting my balls.

- I'll join the union

I tried twice already.

- I'm sorry.

If I need some extra hands,

I'll give you a call.

But right now I don't

have anything for you.

- Well, that's

just f***ing great.

I'll go stand outside home depo.

- Good luck, ray.

- Hi, morning.

- Hey, morning.

How was last night did

you make any progress?

- I don't know

isn't your dad here?

- He's out.

What do you mean you don't know?

- We need to find someone else?

- Why?

- Well, he's not going for it.

- You're supposed

to convince him.

- I tried.

- Yeah, I bet.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- You're wearing the same

clothes you left in last night.

- That's none of your business.

- What about la?

You come up with some

other career plan

I don't know about?

- I can't make him do it?

- Yes, of course you could,

but you don't want to

because you like him.

- I'm sorry I have feelings

for you, Alex, I do,

but ray and I have

a lot of history together.

- Please, alright

don't flatter yourself.

- Look we can still

figure it out, right.

It just can't be ray, okay.

- It's not okay.

What are you bringing

to this arrangement?

If you want a piece of this,

you're gonna have

to do something.

I know that's not your thing...

- f*** you.

You don't know

anything about me.

You know what take that back.

- Couldn't he be

setting you up right now?

He could just have some

dope waiting for you

right outside that door.

- No, no he

wouldn't do that to me.

- So you say but he's

not gonna warn you

if he is gonna do it, right.

It's possible.

- Your girl

still work at Tartuffo's?

- No, she works down

at jeweler's row now.

- No, sh*t, I'll

keep an eye out.

Take care, bro.

Let's get out of here.

- Sh*t.

- It's possible, right?

- Technically.

- So just hold on to it.

Okay, you never know.

But you have to be ready

every time you leave.

This is gonna work, Cassidy,

but you gotta have faith, okay.

Hey, will you meet me somewhere

somewhere where you won't

see anyone you know?

Where's that?

- F*** pop.

Anything that's worth real money

he takes to Canada through

sault Ste. Marie himself.

He's got some guy in Toronto

who f***ing resells it in China.

- No, sh*t.

- I was told there was

opportunity for growth.

I was told that this

was an organization

that likes to promote

from within, you know.

No, there is no organization.

It's just one old ass

thief with tuna breath

just getting over on reputation.

It's time I start to

look out for myself.

I'm not doing this when I'm 30.

- Alright, let's do it.

I'll give you 25% of

whatever I sell it for.

- Hell no.

You'll give me 50.

- That's ridiculous.

- No, we aren't negotiating.

- Fine 35, but you have to

wait for my go ahead, okay.

We gotta make sure that

she's got enough on her

to make it worth it.

- Maybe I should just

rob her on my own

keep the diamonds and tell

you to go f*** yourself.

- You wouldn't do that.

- Yeah, why not?

- Because, well, for one

you would have no idea

how to sell a lose diamond

without getting arrested,

and, secondly, because

despite your job

you're fundamental

an ethical person.

- Sorry for just barging in.

- Are you kidding me you

have an open invitation.

I'll get you a key.

- I had to get out

of the apartment.

Barry is there like

all the time now.

All he does is

drink warm club soda

and swear at the local news.

- Do you want a drink?

- Yeah, I'll take

a beer if you've got one.

- I think I have

a few Daisy cutters.

- At least they're going

away for the weekend.

It'll be nice to have the

place to myself for a few days.

- Who?

- Mom and Barry.

He's taking her to lake Geneva.

- Nice.

- Yeah.

- Does that mean we

get to play house?

- Oh, god, dude I cannot handle

being at my mom's anymore.

- Please come here.

I'll leave you be.

You can stay in the other room.

Just give a knock when you

want some action or whatever.

- We have to eat, dummy.

How much money do you have

in the bank right now anyway?

- Plenty.

- It's the cops, p*ssy.

Let me in.

Yeah, yeah, well if

you quit, what's up.

If you quit being a

big giant baby about it

maybe I'll get you some too.

Sure.

No, but don't wear those

espadrilles alright they're gross.

What's good?

Hey, sorry, so I

can't really hang out.

I just came to grab...

- this is Cassidy.

Cassidy, this is

my friend Cosby.

- Hi.

- He's Irish.

- Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Sorry, f***ing around.

So I just came to

pick up my stuff.

- The tools.

- Yeah, the tools.

- Yeah, one second.

- I'm putting up a spice rack.

So just probably

the screw driver

and the shears and other sh*t.

You know what my friend Stephon

he was just saying

that he was actually

thinking of doing some

remodeling as well

so do you think that

you have any tools

he could borrow.

- I cannot believe this.

I am an idiot.

So much for the new you.

- Cassidy it's not

what it looks like.

Sh*t.

I got fired.

I'm sorry.

You want money.

You want to go to la I'm

trying to figure it out.

I'm not sitting around

feeling sorry for myself

pretending some lottery

ticket's about to come in.

- I'm sorry.

I don't share your

protestant work ethic.

Selling Adderall to tweakers

is really inspirational.

- Cass, I didn't mean...

- I'll see you later.

- Yikes.

Hey, do you really have

that Adderall though?

'Cause the Ritalin

gave me the squirts.

- Hey, honey how you doing?

- I thought you were

going to lake Geneva?

- Just finishing

a couple of things.

- So what do you

got for me today?

- I got one just

give me a minute

to get the package together.

- Is this is the

silent treatment?

- Just working.

- Westermann.

- Westermann?

- Where's that?

- On Harrison just

this side of the river.

Hustle they're expecting you.

I gotta get going.

Alex, do not forget the alarm.

- What do you want from me?

- Nothing, okay.

Nothing.

There are people who

actually do sh*t,

and there are people

who just talk sh*t.

Go make your deliver, please.

Hello.

Vikram, hey, what
