Lost in Translation Page #7
KELLY You know, barbecuing, and yoga, and I love taking my
dogs, Buster and Lulu, for walks on the beach... and it was
great learning karate for "Midnight Racer" - I did all my
own stunts!
The JAPANESE JOURNALISTS seem excited by her answer.
Kelly throws a Karate punch for a PHOTOGRAPHER.
SWEATY JOURNALIST
What was it like working with Keanu
Reeves?
KELLY:
It was great. I've known him for a
while now- you know we both live in
L.A. We both have dogs...
Charlotte walks out.
Charlotte continues down a hall, she stops at an open door
and peeks in.
A quiet group of JAPANESE WOMEN are gathered around a table.
Charlotte goes in, as she gets closer she sees they are being
instructed in Ikebana floral design. Each woman has a little
vase and elegant flower cuttings. She watches as they
delicately arrange the tiny flowers.
The INSTRUCTOR hands Charlotte a vase and cuttings. Alongside
the women, Charlotte tries to follow along.
INT. CHARLOTTE'S HOTEL - BATHROOM
Charlotte reclines low in the bathtub staring off. She can
see mount Fuji in the distance.
The audio tape plays on the stereo.
DR. KENEGARD
(dry & monotonous)
Plato's text calls this image the
"paradeigma". So the lot is the
image that is your inheritance, your
place on earth, all compacted into a
pattern that has been selected by
your soul before you even got here-
or better said, that is always and
continually being selected by your
soul,because time does not enter the
equation of myth.-
CUT TO:
INT. CHARLOTTE'S HOTEL ROOM - EVENING
With her back to us, Charlotte looks out the big window.
CHARLOTTE:
How'd it go today?
JOHN:
Good...I'm tired.
He hugs her for a moment, leaning on her.
JOHN:
I gotta go meet Kelly for a drink
downstairs. She wants to talk about
some photo thing.
CHARLOTTE:
Ok. Maybe I'll walk down with you.
JOHN:
You wanna come?
CHARLOTTE:
Sure.
JOHN:
(doesn't really want
her to)
Ok.
CUT TO:
At a corner table Charlotte sits with John, Kelly, and DJ
CLEAN, a skinny kid in a sweatshirt, on tour in Japan.
Charlotte is bored while Kelly talks on.
Sausalito performs in the background.
KELLY:
...My Dad was anorexic.
CHARLOTTE:
Really?
KELLY:
(very serious)
He was on the American side at the
Bay of Pigs, in Cuba, and he was
taken prisoner, and they tortured
them about their food the whole time.
BENZO:
Where?
KELLY:
My dad fought on the American side
at the Bay of Pigs. So, when he was
a prisoner, they would tell them
they had put poison in their food
and they would make themselves throw
up... and when he got back, he did
better, but he still has food issues.
He has to have really clean food.
And really simple. He can't just go
have, say, Chinese food.
JOHN:
(trying)
Oh, that's too bad.
Charlotte ashes her cigarette in a clean ashtray, and she
watches as it is quickly replaced with a new one by a WAITER.
BENZO:
(nodding at the view)
How crazy is this sh*t?
CHARLOTTE:
Yeah, it is.
DJ Clean starts doing a human beat box at her.
Charlotte looks over at Kelly.
KELLY:
...Oh my god you have to try it,
this power cleanse is amazing- it's
lemon juice and grade B maple syrup
and cayenne pepper for seven days.
Just like a half a teaspoon of
cayenne. The first few days you're a
little scattered, but by day four -
it's amazing... my eyes were so
white...
Charlotte excuses herself.
She passes Bob who sits at his usual spot at the bar, as she
is leaving.
CHARLOTTE:
Hi again, how's it going?
BOB:
Who do I have to f*** to get off
this planet?
Charlotte laughs with sympathy, but doesn't know what to
tell him.
