Lemon Page #3

Guy:
Buddy,

I got you on this national spot.

I'll send over the pages.

Look it over.

I like it.

It's not exactly your thing,

but they love your look.

They said you're

in their top six. Top six!

I feel like

I'm getting stronger.

I feel like it's in me.

Is that how you feel?

Is that what you think?

I feel like I finally

know where to go

inside myself

to actually do the work.

I feel present.

I feel like I'm living.

I feel like

the material is using me.

I feel proud of myself.

I feel proud that I had

the courage to go there.

I was on a ledge looking

down and unafraid.

What are you up to tomorrow?

- Hi.

- Hello.

Want to come over for dinner?

Technically I have something,

but I guess I can move it.

Eight o'clock.

Mmm, okay. Yeah.

Can either of you give me

a lift to the bus stop?

My car was totaled.

Incontinence is not

just a lady problem,

it's an everybody problem.

Twenty-five million

Americans suffer

from urinary incontinence.

25% of that 25 million are men.

That's five million men

with bladder problems.

Nine and a half percent of men

ages 15 to 64

who live at home

have incontinence.

Incontinence is caused

by inflammation of the prostate,

neurological disorders, spinal

injury, diabetes, or stress.

Les:
Can you take it

from the top of the end?

With dignity diapers,

incontinence is not just

your problem, it's ours.

Briefs feature

a moisture-proof lining,

wetness indicator, and

super absorbent micro-beads.

Isaac and Les:

Dignity diapers,

for a fit that stays

in place and helps you

or those you love stay

confident and comfortable.

Great.

How old are you?

Isaac:
Thirty-five

Isaac:
Forty.

- How much do you weigh?

- Isaac:
One-sixty-five

Les:
Mmm, let's say 220

to be safe.

Thank you so much for coming in.

- Thank you.

- Les:
Stay cool out there.

I know. Right. Crazy.

They thought I was him.

And I'm like,

"no way, I'm not him."

Come on, come on, I'm like

three feet taller than him

and I'm in much

better shape, right?

No, I mean he's

in good shape too,

but it's just that

I'm much thinner.

Mom, I gotta call you back.

Sorry I'm late.

- Car trouble?

- Something like that.

It was spray painted.

What did it say?

It's really dark.

I'd rather not repeat it.

Who do you think was behind it?

Most probably some gang.

There's a lot of that

activity in my area right now.

The locals are up in arms

about how much

- the neighborhood's changed.

- Well, you're lucky

it's just your car.

It could've been your face.

Strawberry cake

from Antonio's on Pico.

- Isaac:
Do you want a tour?

- Please.

- Original tile, late 30s.

- Alex:
Great detail.

I like that sort of a thing

in a place.

- Bedroom.

- Nice.

Two summers ago,

when I was in Japan, I...

Ramona and I have sex

much more in here

than any other room.

My head hurts.

I'm getting my period.

You just had it.

That's how that works.

- Have you ever thrown a knife?

- No.

Do you have an ashtray?

Ash on the floor.

When I was little,

I wanted to be in the circus.

I thought it would be cool

to be a knife thrower

in an old carnival.

That life is not as

romantic as it seems.

In Barcelona, I met

this old circus couple.

They were incredible.

Their living conditions

were just horrid.

Cramped. Damp. Unsanitary.

They had no money.

Yeah, but I'd be throwing knives

and just be spot on like, uh.

Uh.

Uh.

- Uh.

- Do you mind not doing that?

And the only thing

you can actually eat there

is the CEVICHE which they catch

and they make fresh every day.

The older brother would

go out on the boat,

and we would watch

him from the beach.

And then the younger brother

would make the CEVICHE

and we would have that

essentially...

The next scene you do in class

should be some Simon.

I don't know if I'm going

to be coming back to class.

After the movie, and traveling,

I'm thinking of taking up

some writing.

I have a couple of ideas

I want to flesh out.

One is about a sailor at sea.

Right now, I'm open

to stage or screen.

I was such a good person to you.

You've been great to me

and I've been great to you.

No.

I had a promising career

back in New York.

People would stop me

on the street.

They recognized me.

- I didn't know that.

- You used me.

I didn't use you.

I've never used anybody.

You're my friend, we're friends.

I'm in your corner

and you're in mine.

How are you?

- No.

You're making me

a little worried.

I know.

- I think I'm gonna head out.

- I should've poisoned you.

I knew you were crazy.

I thought it was good crazy.

I liked it. I liked it a lot.

I thought it was fun.

Now, I know you're bad crazy.

You're unstable!

You should talk to someone

about where you're at.

I?

Isaac?

- Ugh, you're wet.

Isaac:
I went for a run.

Was somebody here?

I don't have friends.

- You gonna answer that?

Alex:
I don't know

what the f*** just happened.

I mean, what was that?

What just happened?

I should call the cops.

I should tell them

- what you just did...

- Leave it.

Alex:
F***ing a**hole.

I have your fingerprints

all over my face and throat.

You better stay away from me!

If I see you anywhere near me,

I'm calling the cops.

You never thought about being

with another woman. Really?

If you want to break up,

you should say it.

It's not gonna hurt less

because you can't say it.

I think you would like

seeing someone else.

You're trying to get out of this

without having to face me.

- I gave you ten years.

- I gave you ten years.

If you don't want to be in this,

then don't be in this.

I don't want to be in this.

Isaac:
I could hit you.

I could suffocate you,

I could strangle you,

I could...

Cut you up and bag you up

and throw you away in the woods

in a hole where

no one could find you.

Do you know how

many men have killed

their girlfriends and wives?

Millions.

I could've done better than you.

I settled because I didn't think

that anyone else would want me.

I thought I chose you

because I felt sorry for you,

but really, I felt

sorry for myself.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

I don't want you to leave me.

Please don't.

I deserve to be with a man

who wants me.

I can't sleep in a bed every

night with my best friend.

Am I your best friend?

You're not even attracted to me!

I'm having a heart attack.

- You're not!

- Oh, I am.

Howard:
I need you to

help me with the table.

Esther:
Your father wants

you to help him with the table.

Isaac:
What's

wrong with your table?

I don't want to get food

on my table. It's a new table.

- Remember our old table?

- Esther:
Filthy.

Listen, before you move the

small table inside the garage,

first you gotta help me move

the big one in the house.

I don't want to hurt my back.

Move the little table

inside the garage,

but first help your father move

the big table inside the house.

I don't want him

to hurt his back.

I'm not letting no

goddamned delivery guy

in this house

to scratch up my walls.
