Don't worry, there's no way

we can get caught doing this.

She thinks her camera

is off right now.

Why did you give this to me?

Can you keep a secret?

Yeah.

She's the one who canceled

the dinner for no reason.

All right, OK, OK,

we could go on for hours.

Tomorrow somebody from the distributor

will make up some pretty excuse,

like they always do when

she acts like a f***ing b*tch.

- You mean she cancelled the dinner?

- Yeah. A little while ago.

I can't believe it! I came all

this way and nobody told me.

You can see who she's calling.

Tony Hillman.

I think that's her...

Yeah, that's her agent.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm sorry I couldn't pick up.

It just finished. I'm coming straight over.

I didn't know what time the

cocktail party was over.

- It's just starting.

- You're not staying?

I thought it was on your schedule!

I rushed out of there so

I could come and see you

without having to

justify myself to anyone.

Now I have to justify myself to you? I only

have a couple hours I can spend with you.

- I'm sorry, damn it.

- You know that.

I've been waiting all day to see you.

Holy sh*t! That son of a b*tch

booked a hotel room a month ago

and flew all the way over here.

What a bastard.

She's going to see him?

You mean, they're going to...?

I can't believe it! Looks like

you'll be going back to L.A.

with a much better souvenir

than dinner with that bimbo.

Outside the theater,

on my way to the limo.

You know where the Grand

Wells Hotel is, right?

- I'll ask the driver. I think it's nearby.

- OK. I'll be waiting in the room.

- See you in a flash.

- See you.

Did she just say the Grand Wells?

What's wrong?

That's where I'm staying.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

Hold on, wait a second.

What room are you in?

Room 700.

Why?

- 700.

- Why?

You taped the greeting with

a video camera, right?

Yeah, I have one.

They gave this to me in reception.

- Good.

- Why?

Wait, Nick. It's a video call.

Jill, where are you?

Hi. I'm going straight

back to the rental.

- I talked to Richie. He's pissed.

- Yeah, well, so am I.

- Not the same thing, Jill.

- They should have consulted me first.

- Why didn't they? Were they too ashamed?

- Jill, please.

"Jill, do you mind if we say"

you got caught masturbating

- for your boyfriend on a webcam?"

- Give me a f***ing break.

- Rumors get thrown out there all the time.

- They're talking about it everywhere!

It's the best rumor I've ever heard

and it's probably got its own

- team of publicists spreading it.

- Jill, I don't give a f*** about that!

- Should I click on this, Chord?

- Sure.

...convention, and screw

up your schedule?

You know what all those people you

stood up will think? You do, right?

I bet people are saying they

saw you in the bathroom,

- I bet people...

- Is that what you're worried about?

Nobody saw me doing any drugs

because I didn't do any drugs.

Yeah, right, b*tch. Get the

camera closer to the window.

Yeah.

- I don't want to.

- I know you don't.

No, I... I mean I don't

want to renegotiate.

- What are you talking about?

- I can't do this anymore.

Aim at the other

wing of the building.

What?

Perfect.

You can do that?

Wait a second.

How is that possible?

Room 686.

OK? You'll feel better tomorrow.

I didn't just decide this.

It's been bugging me for a while now.

It's been bugging you for a while now

and you didn't even say anything?

I've got another call, Dave.

We'll talk tomorrow.

No, Jill, Jill, Jill?

- It's me, Jill.

- Hello?

It's nothing. Reception just called.

There's a problem with the room.

- What are we gonna do?

- A leak or something.

They gave me another room.

Room 686. I'm on my way over now.

- OK, I'm almost there.

- See you soon.

Don't worry. Turn the lights off.

They won't see you with your lights off,

especially if they're f***ing,

which is what it sounds

like they'll be doing.

What? Chord, wait.

I'm not going to...

What is this?

What's what?

What is this?

- What are you talking about?

- Another window just opened up.

- No, it didn't.

- What do you mean?

Wait a second.

It's him. It's Tony. Turn off

the lights or we're f***ed.

Sh*t, Chord. I'm done with this.

Don't worry, Nick.

Just give me a second.

OK, Nick. I have a

ton of work tonight.

- I'm signing out.

- You're leaving?

I'll still be here connected.

Call me anytime.

- But...

- You can turn off the camera,

you can turn off the computer,

do whatever you want.

But remember, it's her fault

you're stranded at that hotel.

I think it's only fair

she should offer you

a little entertainment

in the meantime.

- Hold on a second. I...

- You're a nice guy, Nick.

She's the one who goes around

screwing over guys like you.

I'm just getting even.

See you soon, Nick.

Hello.

Hello?

First of all, we want to assure you that

nobody can detect or trace this line.

It's personalized software we

recently created ourselves. So...

if you want to talk to us,

you are completely safe.

Well?

Well, what? What do you want?

We want to work for you, Nevada.

What? What did you just call me?

Nevada.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- Good. Listen.

You look great.

What's wrong?

Dave called me right after you hung up.

Imagine how scared I was.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah, yeah. But don't worry.

You know, he thinks I'm in L.A.

- I didn't think he'd call you.

- Well, I'm your agent.

Who else would he call?

- Want some?

- No, I don't.

You don't have to worry about Dave.

I managed to calm him down.

I've become an expert

at calming down actors.

What did you tell him?

That you're OK,

a little stressed,

that it'll go away.

That you weren't serious about not wanting

to renegotiate, that you're upset...

You know I've been thinking

about it for months.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know,

I know, I know, but...

but you weren't serious

about it. OK? All right.

OK. You have to wait

until the timing is better.

And you know Dave, he likes to

think that he's all up to date,

and if you suddenly tell

him something like that,

- he'll just go...

- I want to break up with him.

What?

Hey.

We've been over this

a thousand times, Jill.

It's too soon. OK?

Why can't you trust me on this?

Maybe because you're such an

expert at calming down actors.

OK, I'm going to order

something for dinner.

Just think about it, OK?

Jill? Jill, where are you going?

Sh*t!

- Nick?

- Chord, he's looking up here.

The lights suddenly turned on

and then he saw the camera.

Who?

Jill's agent. Jill left but he's still

in there and he's looking up here.

I dropped the camera. I can't see him.

I don't know what he's doing.

He's left the room and he's

calling reception. We can hear it.

- Let me check...

- Sh*t!

Shut up.

- Reception. Can I help you?

- Hi. I'm in room 686.

I want to know what room

is right across from mine.

One floor up. At the end of the hall.

Oh, that's room 700.

It's not occupied.

- Is there a reason you're asking?
