Imperfections Page #7

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.

- Says here

your name's McDougal.

- That's right.

- So which one is it?

- Well, it's both.

Donahue McDougal.

- Oh, that's some name.

Read your file.

- Sorry, an Irish cop, right?

- I read your

file 10 years in Narco.

- Yeah, there

isn't a junky on the Westside

that I don't know on

a first name basis.

- Well, let's go

meet your new partner.

- Copy that.

- Thanks, Cassidy.

Nice job.

- Seriously nothing

from you guys?

Is that what you had in mind,

or were you I don't know

thinking of something else?

- That was fine.

- I'm very sorry

to interrupt your important

conversation over there.

- Cassidy.

- Honestly, honey,

I think we are

looking for a different type.

- Like 26, big tits, veneers.

- Cassidy - good

choice, brave choice.

Let me guess is the

partner a black guy

about a retire or

a Saint Bernard.

- Okay, I'm so sorry.

- Should we call security?

She's too old.

- She's fine she's just

- f*** you.

- Whoa, that's a first.

- Hi, Bettina.

- What the f***

were you thinking?

That was a network

television show.

- I know I was out of line,

but they were really rude to me.

- Who are you the

queen of Sheba?

You know what I

think we're done.

- What are you saying?

- I mean it we're through.

- Come on, Bettina,

this is my career.

- Oh, honey, be

honest with yourself

what career are

you talking about?

Other than the pilot

which we know how that went

you have booked an industrial

and a radio commercial

in five years.

I mean you gave it a shot.

It didn't happen.

It's time to move on and do

something else with your life.

- No, please, please

you are over reacting.

I will go back there right

now, and I will apologize.

- Tell them I'll be

there in a minute.

I'm sorry I've gotta take this.

It's time to move on, honey.

Good luck to you.

- Sorry I had to make a stop.

I'm like five minutes away.

I'm almost there

I'll explain later.

F*** you too.

- Give it here.

Got it I got it.

- Stay right f***ing

there and count to 50.

If I see you look,

I'm gonna come back

and put a bullet in your head.

- One,

two,

three,

four,

five,

six.

Somebody help me.

Help.

Help me.

- We'll just take

some time maybe

something will come back to you.

- Hey, you okay?

- Ms. Harper, here's my card.

Just call me if you can

think of anything useful.

Let's catch these

a**holes, okay.

Feel better.

- Thank you for

being so nice to me.

- Thank you, officer.

- So what happened?

- These two guys beat me up

ripped my pocket off.

I didn't have a chance.

- Dammit.

You were supposed to be ready.

- They want me to

stay overnight.

They think I have a concussion.

- Is your mom coming back?

- She's not answering her phone.

- Yeah, neither is my dad.

Look I have to ask you.

Do you think the

guys were with ray?

- No.

He wouldn't let anyone hurt me?

- How do you know for sure?

Were they white?

Were they black?

Someone knew, right?

Someone knew what

you were carrying.

- I had a plastic

bag over my head.

I couldn't see anything.

What do you want from me?

- Everything okay in here?

- Yeah, I'm sorry.

I'll keep trying your mom, okay?

- Can I call somebody

for you sweetie?

- Alright now I wanna

see some bodies.

Let's go.

Higher.

There it is.

Get them legs together.

Get them legs together.

Good, good.

Again.

What are you doing here?

How'd you find me?

- I have an Internet connection.

You're not in the CIA.

Now tell me you

have my diamonds.

- Yeah, Alex, I don't have

time for this right now, okay.

- Well, make time.

- Do you think you can

just come up in my house

and start barking

orders, do you?

Boy, I have 20 third

graders waiting in a gym

for me to teach them karate,

and any one of them

can beat your ass.

That's right.

Now imagine what I could do?

- Just tell me you have

my diamonds or not?

- Alex, you have until tomorrow

to get pop's money, okay?

What is this?

You wanna be a gangsta?

'Cause you 'bout to find out

what real gangsta

sh*t looks like.

- Cassidy, Cassidy.

Oh, sh*t.

- Visiting hours are over.

You can't go down there.

- I'm looking for

Cassidy Harper.

- And you are?

- Her husband.

- Okay, well, she's not married.

It's family only and

visiting hours are over.

- I'm her brother then.

- No, sir

people are sleeping.

It's family only.

- Cassidy

- family only, man.

- Cassidy.

Oh, Jesus Christ that's awful.

- Please, sir, f*** off.

Cassidy.

- I'm here.

I got beat up.

- F***.

Are you okay, your arm?

- I'm okay.

Broken wrist,

maybe cracked ribs,

this thing on my head.

What time is it?

I don't know 9:
30.

Tell me what happened.

- That means two

and a half hours

till my next pill

that is some bullshit.

- Easy, easy, easy

lie down, lie down.

Can you remember what happened?

- Yeah, two stupid boys

pushed me into the alley

and ripped my pants.

I love those pants.

- Okay, it's okay.

What do you need?

Ice?

An extra blanket or something?

- Look at us we're twins?

God, who's gonna

take care of us, huh?

We're all broken up.

- I will you just relax, okay.

I'll take care of everything.

- No, no we need a grown up.

I'm sorry about before.

Are you mad at me?

- No, of course I'm

not mad, stupid.

- I'm tired.

- Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

- Couple of broken ups.

- Okay, visiting hours are over.

You can come back tomorrow.

- Good morning, sunshine.

How you feeling?

- Dreadful.

What time did you get in?

- Couple of hours ago.

I'm sorry, baby, I didn't

even check my phone

until almost midnight.

- You didn't need to come.

I'm fine.

- Right, I'm gonna be

gettin' hot stone massages

while you're here

in the hospital.

How's the arm?

- It hurts.

- Want me to go out there

and do the Shirley MacLaine?

- Yes, I will pay you

five bucks, please.

- Barry's beside himself.

He thinks he's responsible

which told him is nuts.

He wants you to know that

of course their insurance is

gonna take care of everything.

He said he'd pay you until you

get back on your feet again.

- That's nice of him.

- He's a good man.

In fact I have

some exciting news.

So Barry last night

says to me that he is

really ready to retire,

and he wants to go down to

fort Meyers as soon as possible.

He's asked me to go with him.

- What did you say?

- What do you mean I said yes.

- Just like that you're gonna

spend your golden

years with Barry?

- I am gonna go to

Florida with Barry,

and I'm gonna make a real

life for myself, yes.

- Do you love him?

- I think I could.

- So you're settling?

- You are too old

to be so naive.

It's all settling.

There are no rich princes.

Nobody ever becomes an

astronaut or a ballerina.

I mean listen to me

for once, please.

All you have to

do is you have to

find some way to be

useful and maybe loved

and find somebody

that maybe you can

share some laughs with

that's all there is.

Cassidy, what's so terrible
