Jimmy Hollywood Page #4

for terrorists or something like that.

Jimmy, you has to promise me

that this is finished.

Lorraine, this is no big to-do.

Its all over with. Its over.

-Really?

-Yes, it's over with.

She's got a point, though, William.

You know, keeping quiet on this.

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Wasn't that Gone with the Wind?

Yes, that was Gone With the Wind.

And it was also David O. Selznick.

S.O.S. Steven O. Selznick.

How long did they run it?

-Three and a half hours.

-No.

Gone with the Wind was

a little over three and a half hours.

-Yeah, but they...

-Im asking about the news,

the report on the S.O.S.

It was three and a half hours?

What'd they do,

a mini-series on the S.O.S. soap pads?

Thought it was Gone with the Wind.

No, it was 15 minutes.

I know how long Gone with the Wind was.

What channel was it on?

-That wasn't on that Spanish station.

-No, no, no. English, English.

-BBC? It was international?

-No. No.

RBR? No. RBZ. RBZ.

We don't have RBZ in this country,

Lorraine.

-ABC?

-No. Other letters.

-NBC?

-NBC! That's right.

Bingo! I feel like I won something.

The suspect was apprehended

by a group that calls itself the S.O.S.

This note was made available

by police officials.

"To the Police:

"This guy stole two car radios last night.

"This is a video of his thievery.

"If you can't do the job, we can.

"Signed, the S.O.S."

The police say they have

no previous information

on this S.O.S.

It seems to be their first act.

The size of the group is undetermined.

Elsewhere in local news...

S.O.S. I like that.

I wish Id known they were gonna put it

on television though, you know.

I would've made you write

something with a little more flair to it.

Punched it up for you a little bit.

More dramatic.

-The "thievery" I thought was good.

-Which?

What are you talking?

What are you talking about?

Im talking to myself. Just ranting.

Going on and on about nothing.

Have some more of this tortilla.

She cooks this real good.

I know.

Got potatoes in there, eggs, everything.

Its good for you. You get eggs.

You don't even have to have breakfast.

They let the guy go,

and they're looking for the S.O.S.

I mean, isn't it amazing?

Here we are, trying to do good,

helping to protect,

and what do they do?

They're looking for the kidnappers

of this lowlife scumbag.

All of a sudden we're the villains,

the S.O.S.

-Hey, is that your ad?

-Yeah.

You look better in your photo.

F*** you! F*** you!

All of a sudden

this f***ing schmuck knows something.

He knows something.

It looks the same. It looks the same, right?

This is crazy. They're looking for

the head of the organization.

They wanna know what his name is.

-Who?

-The head of the organization.

Who is he?

There is no head of the organization.

If they're thinking there's an organization,

then who's the head of the organization?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Remember years ago,

the S.L.A. with Patty Hearst?

This guy Cinque was the head of the S.L.A.

That being the case,

the S.O.S. needs a spokesman.

That'll be my role. Ill be the spokesman.

The recent decision by the police

to release the prisoner...

How does it look if I stand like this?

It looks like you don't have any arms,

kind of. It looks like...

-No arms? Is that stronger?

-Stronger? I don't know.

-How about this? How about this?

-That's good.

-Its good?

-I like that.

Its like, you know,

Superman used to stand like this.

-Remember he used to stand like this?

-Yeah.

All right. How's this?

Don't... Don't go like this.

You just throw me off.

Im trying to get into the thing here

and you... Don't do that.

-What do you want me to do?

-Well, just nod or something.

l mean, I know it's running,

l know you're ready.

I mean you don't have to...

-Im pausing it right now.

-This isn't, this isn't...

Ill shake my head.

-Okay.

-Okay.

Are you gonna keep shaking your head?

Don't keep shaking it. You don't have to.

-Just once is enough, okay?

-Okay.

This is J-Three, head of the S.O.S.

No. Let me do it again. Let me do it again.

This is J-Three, cell leader for the S.O.S.

That cell leader's got a nice ring to it.

Don't you think?

-Keep the tape rolling.

-Okay.

Keep tape rolling. Don't stop.

This is J-Five, cell leader of the S.O.S.

The recent decision by... Hold on.

This is K-Four, cell leader of the S.O.S.

Has K-Four been used

for something else before?

K-2 is a mountain. K-9 is a dog.

Like the Js better?

Who am I?

You're the leader of the S.O.S.

I know that, William, but who is J-Three?

What do I think? What do I feel?

How do I know?

You see, William,

you got to think of this in acting terms.

What happened to me?

Where am I at this point in time in my life?

What happened to get me where I am?

They stole your radio.

William, this isn't me.

This is the leader of the S.O.S.

I don't want to play me.

Jimmy Alto isn't the leader of the S.O.S.

J-Three is the leader of the S.O.S.

Who is J-Three?

William?

As an actor, when you know

who you are, it's easy to talk.

When you don't,

you don't know what's coming next,

you don't know where you are.

Im an actor playing a vigilante.

That's not enough. That's not enough!

Who am I? Who am I?

I have to know who I am.

Until I know who I am,

the S.O.S. can't make a statement.

Is that my phone?

No.

This is Jericho, cell leader of the S.O.S.

Let it be known from this day forth

that lawlessness will not be tolerated.

This is a promise to

all the good citizens of Hollywood.

We give fair warning to the police

and to the judicial system.

Protect and serve

the good people of Hollywood,

because we will be watching and waiting.

This is our pledge. S.O.S. Save our streets.

-Jimmy.

-This tape was given exclusively

-to Channel 5 News.

-What have you done?

We have shown it to the police,

who have issued a statement to the effect

that this type of organization

will not be tolerated.

They have further stated that

they will fully mobilize the police force

to combat the S.O.S.,

should this illegal criminal behavior

show itself again.

As to the leader of the S.O.S.,

the police are not discussing any clues

they may have at this time.

Earlier this afternoon,

a storefront fire in the Fairfax district

threatened several commercial structures.

The blaze broke out in a vacant building

in the 400 block

of North Fairfax Avenue.

I thought I was pretty good.

What'd you think?

I don't know. It took 35 or 40 goes to get it.

I kind of lost my perspective.

Is she okay?

l better go see what her problem is.

I wanted to at least let Hollywood know

that there was somebody there.

The way it was left, it felt open-ended.

I had to put a cap on it.

This is the end now.

Really?

-What'd you think of the work?

-The work?

Yeah, the work.

What'd you think of Jericho?

Jimmy, you're playing with fire here,

and you want to know

how your acting was?

Did you believe him?

Yes, yes. I believe him.
