[ Muttering ]

"D. Selwyn." It's the only one.

I'm gonna call.

It's strange to be calling yourself.

Maybe it's not me.

[ Line Ringing ]

[ Woman On Machine] Hello, it's me. Leave a message.

[ Beeps ]

That's not myvoice.

But I know her.

Maybe that isn't Diane Selwyn's voice.

Maybe that's your roommate.

Or ifit is Diane Selwyn,

she could tell you whoyou are.

Maybe.

Maybe. Maybe.

&& [ Continues ]

Adam Kesher?

[Knocking on Door]

Yeah, what is it, Cookie? Uh, I'm sorry, Mr. Kesher,

but there seems to be some problem with your credit cards.

What? I-I payyou cash, Cookie.

Mira, ese. Two guys from your bank came by.

My bank?

How-How'd they know I was here? I don't know.

What'd they say?

I'm afraid they said to tell you that you're maxed out at your bank,

and that your line of credit has been cancelled.

That's unbelievable. Huh.

Well, look, uh,

I, uh-- I don't know what's going on.

That is so much baloney. [ Chuckles ]

But I got enough cash foryou, Cookie.

Oh, I know. I know. Don't worry.

But, listen, I'm sorry.

It was my duty to inform you.

oye carnal.

Whoeveryou're hiding from, they know where you are.

Right.

I'm sorry.

[Dialing]

[Telephone Ringing] Hello?

Someone maybe shut off my money.

I know. Where are you, Adam?

I'm sorry. What do you mean, you know?

Somebody called. When they couldn't get you,

they-they told me you were as good as broke.

I didn't believe them, so I made a few calls.

And? You're broke.

Yeah, but I'm not broke!

I know, butyou're broke. Where areyou?

I'm at Cookie's, downtown.

Doyou know somebody called "the Cowboy"?

The Cowboy? Yeah.

The Cowboy. This guy, the Cowboy, wants to see you.

Jason said he thought it'd be a good idea.

Oh,Jason thought it'd be a good idea for me to go see the Cowboy.

Well, should I wear my ten-gallon hat and my six-shooters?

Listen, something tells me that this guy is connected to what's happening.

Adam, I think you should do it,

and I thinkyou should do it right away.

What's going on, Cynthia? [ Sighs ]

It's been a very strange day.

And getting stranger.

So, where do I meet this Cowboy? Do I have to ride out to the range?

Sort of, funny boy.

If I tell him the meeting's on,

you'll have to go to the top of Beachwood Canyon,

and there's a corral up there where he'll be.

Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.

Will you meet with him?

Yeah. Sure.

No, it's-it's been that kind of a day. When?

Um, I'll call him right away,

and then I'll call you back.

You know, you-- you could stay at my place ifyou-- ifyou wanted.

Uh, Cynthia, no. I don't think that would be a good idea.

I was just offering a place to stay.

Yes, and I appreciate the offer, Cynthia. I'll find a place.

Now, look,just go on and give that Cowboy a yodel and get on back to me.

Okay. But you don't know what you're missing.

Uh,just get along, little doggie, and call me back.

[Replaces Receiver]

It's right about here-- Sierra Bonita.

It's not too far away.

What's wrong with that?

I'm not sure about this.

I know you're afraid of something.

We'll be careful, I promise.

Tomorrow, we'll go over there...

and we'll find out.

[Knocking on Door]

It'll be okay. [Knocking Continues ]

It's probably Coco.

Yes? May I help you?

Someone is in trouble.

Who are you?

What are you doing in Ruth's apartment?

She's letting me stay here.

I'm her niece. My name's Betty.

No, it's not.

That's not what she said.

Someone is in trouble! Something bad is happening!

Well, I-I'm sorry, but I don't know whoyou are, and--

Louise? What areyou doing, Louise?

I-- Oh, Coco.

I've been trying to get a hold ofyou since 3:00 this afternoon.

That one is in myroom, andshe won't leave.

I want you to get her out. I want you to get her out now!

Uh, this is Louise Bonner. I'm sure she meant well.

Louise, this is Betty. This is Ruth's niece.

I n fact, fortunately I was just on myway over here to see Betty.

Betty's a young actress, and I was just delivering...

some faxed pages of a scene for a big audition tomorrow.

Well, here they are, honey. Oh, thankyou.

Come along now, Louise. I'll takeyou home.

I'm sorry. It happens sometimes. No.

Come on. No. She said it was someone else...

who was in trouble. stop it, Louise. I'm takingyou home.

Come on. I-I--

Good night, Betty. Good night.

Good night.

Whoa.

[ Scoffs ] Cowboy.

[ Buzzing ]

Howdy. Howdy to you.

Beautiful evenin'. Yeah.

Sure wanna thankyou for comin' all the way up here to see me...

from that nice hotel downtown.

No problem. What's on your mind?

Well, now, here's a man who wants to get right down to it.

Kinda anxious to get to it, areya?

Whatever.

A man's attitude--

A man's attitude goes some ways...

to the way his life will be.

Is that something you might agree with?

Sure.

Now, did you answer...

because that's whatyou thought I wanted to hear,

or did you think about what I said...

and answer 'cause you truly believe that to be right?

I agree with whatyou said. Truly.

What'd I say?

That a man's attitude determines, to a large extent, how his life will be.

So sinceyou agree,

you must be a person who does not care about the good life.

How's that?

Well, stop for a little second and think about it.

Can you do that for me?

[ Chuckles ]

Okay, I'm thinkin'.

No, you're not thinkin'.

You're too busy bein' a smart aleck to be thinkin'.

Now, I wantyou to think and stop bein' a smart aleck.

Can you try that for me?

Look, where's this going? What doyou want me to do?

There's sometimes a buggy.

How many drivers does a buggy have?

One.

So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy,

and ifyou fixyour attitude, you can ride along with me.

Okay.

I wantyou to go back to work tomorrow.

You were recasting the leadactress anyway.

Audition many girls for the part.

Whenyou see the girl that was shown to you earlier today, you will say,

"This is the girl."

The rest ofthe cast can stay.

That's up to you.

But that lead girl is not up to you.

Now, you will see me one more time...

Now, you will see me one more time...

ifyou do good.

You'll see me two more times...

ifyou do bad.

Good night.

You're still here?

I came back. I thought that's what you wanted.

Nobodywants you here.

Really?

My parents are right upstairs. They thinkyou've left.

So? Surprise. I can call them. I can call my dad.

Butyou won't.

Ifyou're trying to blackmail me, it's not gonna work.

You're playing a dangerous game here.

You know what I want. It's not that difficult.
