Maps to the Stars Page #4

Liberty.

So you were in a fire, right?

You know, I never really

figured out what happened.

I think, one night I got drunk and

slept really hard on my face.

So, now you hit Tinseltown,

what are you gonna do?

Can't ah...

... keep riding around in limos

if you want to keep your money.

Actually, I got a job.

Oh yeah, where?

Do you know Havana Segrand?

Sure. Know of.

I'm her new personal assistant.

That's the...

Carrie Fisher connection?

Actually it was.

Havana is getting me a car.

Hey, do you wanna have

dinner on the weekend?

Um...

Yeah, this weekend is

not good for me I have to ah...

... I have to work on my script.

I have a great idea for a movie.

Maybe we could write it together?

It's got an incest theme I guess

those are kinda of overdone, huh?

Sex abusing your religion.

The truth is my parents

are brother and sister.

I never tell anyone that.

But I think it would be corny.

It's like, been there, done that.

I know that sounds jaded but

I think it would make a cool indie.

You know, I want to act in it.

And you could too.

Mm...

Think it would be good

if it wasn't pretentious

you know if we got the whole

mythological thing going on.

Uh, look Agatha...

Think you're a little crazy.

Well, so...

I mean...

What I'm saying is um...

I'm kind of,

kind of involved with someone.

And uh...

I mean...

Hope everything works out for you.

Look I don't want to take your money.

F*** you.

It was...

... like a dream but

it seemed so f***ing real.

Go on.

A girl... I ah...

Met her at the hospital.

We sent her an iPad but

they said she died.

Then...

... she came into

my room at the house.

Scared the sh*t out of me.

Maybe it was a dream.

Am I going crazy?

No.

Well, I...

Think it's probably time for you to

start talking about certain things.

My sister?

Yes.

She always, ah...

... wanted to...

... marry me.

That's how we played.

We did the ceremony.

Isn't that strange?

Think I'm crazy like her?

No.

But...

... if we don't look at things

they can make us crazy.

Mom and dad were...

... at some party...

I was 6 or 7 then.

That night...

... the night it happened...

... we uh...

... had the ceremony, the marriage thing.

And uh...

... she gave me pills...

... vitamins she said...

... and uh, I woke up in the hospital,

they pumped my stomach and...

... the firemen...

... carried me out there...

... and I never saw her again.

- Maybe you asked your parents if they had...

- I did.

They don't talk about her.

They won't.

The girl at the hospital...

Harriet...

... what do I do?

What do I do if she comes back?

You call me.

I'm afraid.

Whenever I see her, it's so...

... real.

I don't want to be hospitalized.

My career is so f***ed as it is.

Textbook TSS Havana.

You saw heavy combat as a child.

Could I be a multiple?

I don't see that but if you are,

we'll deal with it.

Damn her!

What does she want?

When you came out of hiding and

externalized your shame...

... mother didn't like that.

But what we can name,

we can tame.

She wants me to fail.

- But I won't.

- I won't.

That's

little Havana.

Celebrate her.

The Imago Deity,

that's what Jung called it.

We call it...

... the magical child.

And that child, will not fail.

Lay down.

I hired a girl.

It's amazing.

Why is it amazing?

She's disfigured.

She was...

... burned in a fire.

On her face...

Where is she from?

Florida.

It's amazing. She just...

... showed up on my doorstep.

I get this sense that I'm...

... working through something

by hiring her.

People don't just enter

our lives randomly, we call them.

Two women linked by fire.

I bet those visions go away.

Oh... God!

Do you think so?

You're welcoming

mom into the house.

You're saying 'Hey, mom'.

'Come on in'.

'You don't scare me.'

'I'm empowered.'

'Soup's on'.

'This is my house, ma'.

'I build it with my pain and my hope'.

'And you can't hurt me anymore'.

'I'm a magical child, ma'.

'So, come on in'.

'Mi casa'

'Es su casa'.

Deep breath now, Havana.

Breathe.

What if she comes to the house?

She won't.

Then what is she doing here?

Maybe she is sightseeing.

Why are you so cavalier about this?

We've always handled

things differently you and I.

You got to get her fired.

And then what?

She's working for Havana.

We know where she is.

And that buys us time.

What if she tries to get to Benjie?!

I'm concerned about the tabloids.

I'm about to go on a

book tour, for Christ sakes!

In my school books.

On my desk.

In the trees.

On the sand, in the snow.

I write your name.

On all the flesh that says yes.

On the forehead of my friends.

Son?

One second!

Come in.

Saw your light.

I couldn't sleep.

Me neither.

Were you reading?

Just building up on the script.

That's hard to do without a partner.

Mom usually reads for me but um...

... I like to know lines pretty well

before we go over them.

That's what makes you pro.

Listen there's something

I wanted to talk to you about.

I'm not taking anything.

Not even Seroquel.

I've got a really good sponsor.

He's been clean and sober for 20 years.

He's worked with Robert Downey Jr.

- Demi Levato.

- No.

It's about your sister.

We think she may be back.

Here in Los Angeles.

Did... did she call?

She hasn't yet.

Thought she was in prison somewhere.

Hospital.

Far away.

But... now she's...

Free, wild and 18.

Courts couldn't hold her.

We're in the process of acquiring

a restraining order against her.

- And I like you to tell me if she...

- A restraining order?

Too bad you couldn't have gotten

one when she was born.

You could've had a judge

standing by in the delivery room.

Maybe you tried that.

We tried a lot of things, Benjie.

Mostly we tried our best.

That's in your book.

That's a big thing in your book.

Trying your best.

It's supposed to give people major points.

I don't know that girl anymore so...

Not that I ever did.

I don't know if she is dangerous.

I knew this day was coming.

I thought somehow she'd just stay put.

That was stupid... of me.

But I want you to tell me...

... if she tries to see you.

I'll tell you if she pops up.

You know, me and you,

like to share.

Get some sleep son.

By the power of the word...

... I renew my life.

I was born to know you.

And to name you.

Liberty.

Havana, sweetheart, I've...

I don't know if you've

read the trades, but um...

They unannounced that

Damien went with Azita.

I mean I can't say it's a

complete surprise but uh...

I'm very angry at the way it was handled.

I mean it...it... it just makes me

look foolish.

But that's my problem not yours.

I'm so sorry, honey!

I have calls into Damien.

And I hate to be leaving

this on your phone, I...

I... I just didn't want you to

hear it from someone else.

As you know I mean I strongly think

there's no love lost on this project.

Those were always my feelings.

I know and I respect the reasons

why it was so important to you, but I...

I think it's of equal importance
