Inserts Page #10

It's magic.

It's meat.

All of it is meat.

Go on then, bite it.

What?

Don't wait. Just do it, bite it.

You're crazy. I'm not going to bite it.

It'll hurt.

Then don't call it meat.

Either shut up or bite it.

Jesus Christ.

Now, feel that. Feel it.

Touch it and feel it.

Feel that and tell me it's a tremor.

Tell me what it is.

It's a collision.

It's a head-on f***ing collision.

I told you.

Now...

come on.

I'm trying.

Come on.

Okay. Oh, Jesus, it's tight.

You bet it's tight.

Oh, Jesus, they're crazy.

Who's crazy?

Anybody who says you're not

the Boy Wonder is crazy.

You're the one who's crazy,

right straight out of your noodle.

Did I reach my peak?

I think you reached your peak, yeah.

I knew it, see.

I knew you could make me great.

It's like they say, Miss Cake...

some people are born great...

and others have greatness thrust into them.

We work well together.

Who'd have guessed?

Who would have guessed?

I wish we could stay like this forever,

don't you?

Yeah, I guess maybe I do-

I wish we had a contract,

a six-picture contract.

Open up our own studio.

Get the pipes fixed. Get the pool cleaned.

Get you some new underwear.

Yeah. You, too.

I can't wait to see what we look like...

you know, up there on the screen.

When is this stuff going to be ready?

What stuff?

The stuff we just did, silly. My little silly.

What are you talking about?

We didn't do any stuff.

- What do you, mean, silly?

- I mean, just now, the camera wasn't on.

What?

The camera, it wasn't on...

I mean, just now when we were making love.

What do you mean, the camera wasn't on?

What do you mean, what do I mean?

The camera wasn't on.

You didn't turn the camera on?

What were you thinking about?

Thinking about?

God, I can't believe...

What the hell was going through your head?

Going through my head?

To tell you the truth, Miss Cake...

I didn't exactly have my head on my mind.

If you mean your brain's in your ass...

I couldn't agree more.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the insert,

what do you think?

The insert?

The come shot, for the movie, remember?

Yeah.

The movie. Yeah, now I remember.

Now you remember.

That's great, after wasting God knows

how much time going through it.

Going through it?

Yeah...

going through it, like it was some

big deal, playing baby-ass games.

I mean, what does it take to just...

sit there and f***?

You didn't even have the camera on.

I'm not surprised about you

and the real movies.

What do you think, I've got all day here?

We made a deal.

Big Mac's gonna walk through that door-

Any minute now...

and he ain't gonna quite get it.

I mean, he's gonna stand here and see his...

fiance, maybe, walking around

with her apples out of the basket...

and the Boy Wonder

sitting there with his log between his legs.

But there's something about it.

I see it but I don't quite get it.

Do you know what I mean?

Daddy.

Oh, Daddy.

- Surprised to see me, honey?

- Yeah.

But, honey, I told you I'd be right back,

didn't I?

Yeah, I know.

Never mind, maybe you just

forgot what time it was for a while?

Yeah, I guess so.

Just sort of forgot what time it was.

I mean, I don't get it.

I mean, do I kill you or what?

If I kill you, which I guess I'm gonna do...

do I shoot you 'cause I'm jealous,

or do I strangle you 'cause I'm pissed off?

I mean, I just don't get it,

do you know what I mean?

Mac, I only asked him...

to show me what were inserts,

so I'd know for the real movies, that's all.

Is that true?

Did you show her what were inserts?

I didn't have to. She already knew.

Get out of my house.

What a way is this to talk

to the man who's going to kill you?

Don't kill him, Mac.

He didn't do anything.

That's what I mean, that's what I don't get.

He looks like he didn't do anything.

It always looks like he didn't do anything.

He didn't, Mac...

honest to God.

You said yourself he couldn't get

his rope to rise with a magic flute.

He's just a smart guy.

What's with your leg?

What the hell's with your leg?

Nothing.

Nothing. He just thought

it was a piece of meat.

Why, you goddamn fruitcake loony.

Regret is for...

Get this monkey out of here, will you?

- Smart guy, huh?

- Hold it.

Mac?

Don't hurt him.

What do you mean, "Don't hurt him"?

He bit you, didn't he?

He bit you on the goddamn leg.

I ought to smack your f***ing teeth in...

Pardon my French.

Get your f***ing shoes on.

- You want me to slap his teeth in, Mac?

- No, forget it. He's all washed up, anyway.

If I didn't know you couldn't get your

rope to rise, baby...

Get that camera.

Mac, what about our six-picture contract?

You wanna know about

our six-picture contract?

Should I get the lights, too?

No, that stuff's junk. We'll get new.

Just take her out to the car.

I was gonna throw this sh*t in your face,

but I'm gonna hold on to it.

- You know why?

- No, why is that, Mac?

'Cause it ain't what you wanted.

You didn't finish it.

It finished you, kiddo.

It was your last shot and you blew it.

First you blew it in the real movies,

today you blew it...

without even going out of your house.

- It won't be long now till that-

- Freeway.

Yeah, comes through here...

and you won't even have a house.

That'll be it for you, kiddo.

You're just gonna disappear...

and all that's gonna be left of you

is this little roll of film.

And that's why I'm gonna hold on to it...

'cause it ain't what you wanted.

So long, kid.

What do you know?

Guess who's coming up the walk?

It's the new kid. The new kid at Path.

Do you know what he wants?

He wants you to direct a real movie.

Ain't that a sketch?

Oh, babe.

You must be kidding me.

Oh, you can be handsome

and rugged and tall

Invest in one thing

and wind up with them all!

You can be healthy

and wealthy and wise

But I'm satisfied that my rope

can still rise

With care, bulbs will burn

until they are quite old

It's just when they're switched off

it sometimes grows cold

And yet I confess

with a series of sighs

It's sure good to know

that your rope

can still rise!

Unless I've missed my guess...

it's almost time for lunch.
