I'm not sure, I'm not sure.
Because if we bring her back, the movie ends.
I'm not so sure about that,
I'm not sure at all.
What's so special about this cult?
Primary colors,
Stanley the dog, abandoned peers.
Keep that close,
abandoned peers.
Trans-cranial
magnetic stimulation.
Grapefruit the size of cannonballs.
The realism of nature combined with the
serial-ism of nature, aka, whimsy. Aha!
What?
Carlos Puyol beats Real Madrid with his head.
With his head!
Raph, Raph, Raph. What?
Okay, what is all that?
Where you going
with all this?
You see how quickly
young Ava dropped her robe?
You gotta love a girl who can
think on her feet, huh?
If you're a man with sight, you'll
notice she had a little fur down there.
I've been wondering for some time now if
the kids have been bringing bush back.
Kojak has been ruling
the area for a long time now.
Back in the day,
your sister had a full on Joan Baez.
- Okay, stop, stop. Please, stop!
- What? What?
These are my notes.
These are things that can spark my vision.
We have to stick with it to get somewhere.
I need to circle the muse. I need to let
the character emerge. I'm not a machine!
You need to circle.
You seem to circle
a lotta things.
Oh, I see what's happening here.
I'm just saying man,
sometimes, you gotta push.
Man, you gotta jump!
All right!
Okay! All right!
Just forget it, forget it! Back to
the story, okay? Back to the story.
Just give me something real man,
something deep, something truthful!
Oh, it rubs me the wrong way
when you say deep, and truth.
It just rubs me the wrong way!
The guy who wants success in ten days.
The guy who wants everything now.
That guy's gonna talk to me
about truth, about death?
- You don't wanna get in there.
- Get in where, get in where?
You're just saying words, I dunno
what you're talking about!
This is the omphalos of the entire story.
- The omphalos?
- The navel, the central point?
F*** you, word of the day.
You gotta be kidding.
Dark, Mediterranean man sits at his computer,
a pensive look on his face.
- Hi, Ava.
- The curious girl enters the room.
Hey, look, Ava, you're a really nice girl, but
I thought you were gonna be quiet as a mouse.
His brow tightens, she offers him a drink.
This is for you.
No, I wasn't. I was
just waving to you and I was...
Look at those two.
They can't resist.
- How's the writing?
- I'm stuck.
On what?
Um, in...
In the story, my character's hired to
find this girl who's wrapped up in a cult.
I find her, I don't know what happens next.
She's in some kind of trouble.
Well, I know all about trouble.
- What do you mean?
- What do you mean?
Well, what kind of trouble
have you been wrapped up in?
It depends how you define trouble.
Sometimes trouble give you the answers.
Maybe your character is conflicted.
This girl is drawn to you. She's involved
in something that intrigues you.
Question is, do you explore it?
Or maybe he's falling for her.
Anyway, if you get stuck again,
give me a holler.
So he buys me this '66 Barracuda Fastback.
Pearl white, burgundy bucket seats, I love it.
- I love it.
For about a week. And then the
next week he's just in his shell.
He's curled up,
he won't get out of bed, and he's angry.
Then suddenly decides
he wants to get rid of it.
- What!
- Not just the car.
the Ramapough Indians.
- To what end, I have no idea!
- Is that a new thing?
He's riding the Staten Island ferry
back and forth.
He's not going to Staten Island,
he's just riding the ferry.
Says he needs to stay on the water.
I don't know what's going on with him.
Maybe it's everything
going on in the world right now.
Maybe that's what's
setting him off.
- Yeah.
- I dunno.
We were so good for so long.
- And now, we're not connected.
- Not working.
I feel like he's bamboozling me,
unless maybe it's me.
- No it's not.
- No, my man is f***ed up.
I'm sorry, G. I love you, but he's got
some serious issues. He was in a war.
Then he was f***ing Team Six.
- What's Team Six?
- It means he was elite.
Okay, the best at what he did.
Anything after that, it has to feel
like a let down to some degree.
- She's no let down!
- Yeah man.
No, you know what I mean.
I don't mean that.
It's just that now he's a...
he's a glorified handyman.
Let's not glorify the fact that Wayne is a
product of the military industrial complex.
It's sad, but he made choices. What I know,
is Gigi here is a radiant sunflower.
And one who appreciates the sun,
certainly loves sunflowers.
You're in love with him.
It's really simple.
Battle of the sexes,
people. Men in the lead.
All right, let's do it.
Let's go. I'll play around.
- On the case.
- I'll play around, here.
Get this going.
- I remember how to do this.
Oh, yeah.
Dominic is on fire.
Winning does make you feel good.
I haven't won in a while.
Wait a second.
Winning is all.
Chiang Kai-shek, remember that.
This is it. This is how it should be.
Friendship is as important as
romantic love, remember that.
The cards are life.
Minnesota Fats, remember that.
It's all in the sauce.
Listen, Raph, here it is. I've got pages man,
exciting stuff. This is what happens, okay?
Our girl, she's running
from everything, you know?
Her family, society, the status
quo's, all getting ripped out.
She's found a new life with this cult,
and I'll tell you this much.
It is beautiful and I
am wide open to it.
- Now what do you think?
- I think you're out.
I'm out.
I won.
You're mine.
You're mine.
Hey, hey, watch out.
Okay, come on you two, let's do it.
Don't be a sap, Renee.
You dummy up on me now, you're
looking at 99 years in Cincy.
Where'd you stash the dame?
I'm not telling you where she is.
I don't see that you have
much of a choice, bucko.
You wouldn't understand.
Try me.
She told me about the light.
- I'm not talking about a street lamp.
- Yeah.
A light? You getting
sucked into her cult.
I'll be lookin' for you next.
- You may not find me.
- Wonderful, wonderful!
- Wonderful scenes you've written. I love it
- It's good right?
I can't see him right now. You gotta...
You gotta stall him. Make him go away.
Something! Okay?
Yo, dude! What's up, man?
Come down!
Yeah, I'll be right down.
How you gonna act, man?
- I dunno.
- Oh, cool.
- What does Gigi want?
- She wants me to be cool.
Cool, man, so just stay here, cool spirit.
Smoke this, dude. Chill out, when
you're done you go inside. Cool?
Yeah, okay, you want me to stay here?
Yeah, stay here, I gotta piss.
- Wait...
- Dude I gotta piss!
Gigi!
Gigi!
Hey, killer.
Look who it is. Holy sh*t.
I didn't know you were
going to f***ing be here.
What're you doing?
I'm up here with Dominic,
yeah, I'm writing with Dom.
- Work.
- Yeah, work.
- You still acting?
- Yeah, I still got the curse.
Well, you still look
