What is it?

I want you to

remember something.

What do you want

me to remember?

Just tell me what it is.

When you go to

the other place,

I want to know what it's like

because I'll see you later.

I'll see you later.

Help!

Hey, what's your name?

What is your name?

Come on, man.

What the f***?

God damn it!

You like my sculpture?

It's almost done.

Please take these off.

Hey, you want money?

You want money?

It's not going to hurt you.

I'll give you as much

money as you need.

I'll give it to you.

No!

No!

No!

How does that feel, Frank?

Yeah!

Hello?

Hey, David.

It's Charlotte.

Hey, I got your camera back.

Thanks.

I got this project I want

to talk to you about.

Maybe we can get

together this week?

I'm free tomorrow.

I'm not working.

Um, is there a place maybe

we can get together, like,

near your house or something?

Yeah, you want to meet me

down at Greenfield Lake maybe

around 4 o'clock?

You know where that is?

Uh, huh.

Yeah.

I'll find it.

Hello?

Hello?

Yeah, I'll find it, man.

Good lord, save me.

The devil's hand holds me.

Bright light I see.

Jesus, guide me.

Hey.

Hey.

You found me.

Yeah.

You're pretty easy to find.

How are you?

I'm great.

How are you doing?

I'm doing good.

Cool.

You want to sit down?

Yeah.

Thanks.

What's with the producer tag?

Oh, it's just a stupid show

I'm working on right now.

It's cheesy.

You wouldn't like it.

I think I've seen

something on that.

It's the one-- the guy with

all the one-liners, right?

Yeah.

That's cool.

They messed up my

picture and my name.

Oh.

Um, here.

I brought your camera for you.

I forgot I had this.

Really?

I got a lot of them.

Right.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, not a problem.

It's really sweet.

It's not a big deal.

Did you have a hard

time getting it back?

I quit.

You quit?

Yeah.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I just got tired of doing

something I hate every day

so I could be happy later.

You know?

What is that, like, waiting

for your life to start?

Life is right now.

It's just--

This is our life.

Yeah.

I'm just ready to go somewhere.

I wish I could do

something big, you know?

I think fate

brought us together.

That's big.

You believe in that?

Destiny?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think everything happens

for a reason, for sure.

It's so beautiful out here.

I know.

It's gorgeous.

I would love to just sit under

this tree with you all day.

I gotta get going though.

You have somewhere to be?

Yeah, I gotta be on set.

Oh, that's cool.

You want to go with me?

Really?

No, I can't take you.

Oh.

No, it's fine.

I've got somewhere to be anyway.

I still want to

work with you though.

Yeah?

I think we're

going to do-- I know

we're going to do

beautiful things together.

Cool.

I'm down with that.

Me too.

Well, I've got

tons of free time

now so you know how

to get up with me.

I'll be around.

I'll just run

into you somewhere.

Yeah.

See you later?

OK.

Bye.

We've got four bodies.

Three male, one female.

And they all appear

to be decapitated.

Well, John, I guess

they should have quit

while they were still ahead.

All right, cut, cut.

That's good!

Hey, check the gate.

If the gate--

I think that's as

high as it's going to go.

Listen, Sydney.

I told you $8,000 and that's it.

But they

don't have the money--

I pay your f***ing mortgage

with the commission,

so shut the f*** up,

do what I tell you.

Listen, I'm

doing the best I can.

Shut the f*** up!

Jesus.

Where's that water I asked

for five minutes ago?

God damn, Neanderthals.

Woohoo!

Hey, Nathan!

You're looking good, man.

You killed that last scene.

Thanks.

Who are you?

I'm a producer.

I got this--

Before you go on, you

need to talk to my agent.

OK?

And if you don't have a budget,

f***ing forget about it.

All right?

Give me that.

I've got some sh*t to do.

If you see me walking towards

you, get out of the way.

Thank you.

Yeah, I'm the star.

Can I get a fruit cup please?

Who's

got eyes on Marco?

I need Marco.

Somebody get Marco.

I've been watching you.

I've noticed your beauty.

You're cunning.

You're sneaky and I like it.

These traits, these masks that

you wear, they don't fool me.

They won't help you

escape your fate.

Woohoo!

Hey!

Hey!

What the f*** are you doing?

Hey!

Hey, bro!

What are you doing?

I can't hear you.

My ears are under water.

I love your place, man.

Oh, I would live

here in a heartbeat.

You really made it big.

Get the f*** out of here

or I'm calling the cops.

OK?

Be cool, man.

I think-- I think you're,

uh, misjudging me.

I'm David.

We met earlier, remember?

On set?

I was that guy that

had that project

I wanted to talk to you about.

Yeah, yeah.

I got it.

All right.

Listen, you have 60 seconds

to get the f*** out of here

or I'm gonna smash your face in.

OK?

This sh*t is really good.

You want a glass?

Are you drinking my--

Uh, huh.

I also saw that picture

of your wife inside.

She is hot.

What the f*** is

wrong with you, man?

You know she's hot, man.

But I got this and I would

love you to sign it for me.

To David, my number one fan.

I love you.

You're f***ing kidding me.

You're f***ing kidding me.

Come on, bro.

It's all good.

No.

F*** no.

I'm calling the cops

before I kill you.

Look.

I got this project I want

to talk to you about.

I think you're going

to be perfect for it.

Nathan!

Wake up, sleepy head!

Woo!

I see you!

I'm so happy you decided

to do this project, Nathan.

I hope you like that wardrobe

I picked out for you specially.

Are you excited?

You look good in purple.

What the f*** is going on?

Listen.

Don't jump the gun, Nathan.

I know you're a bit

of a method actor,

but you're going to have to

f***ing read the script first.

You better appreciate

what I'm doing for you.

What are you talking about?

Where the hell am I?

We're not playing

games all night, Nathan.

I paid you upfront

to do the job.

Now do it.

Check your left breast

pocket in your jacket.

I know you like money.

Is this a joke?

No.

Huh?

Are you kidding?

Get the f*** out of here, man.

Uh oh.

No running!

No running, Nathan.

Just acting.

Good acting.

Pick up the script and

read your f***ing lines.

OK?

You would have had a lot

more time if you just

woke up earlier.

That means hurry the f*** up.

The cameras are rolling.

We gotta go.

You don't want to disappoint me.

This is f***ing ridiculous!

F***!

OK!

OK!

If I didn't walk out

that door, I would--

F***ing stop doing that!

Stop!

I'm not buying it, Nathan.

It's bullshit.

You're way better than this.

I handpicked you because of it.

I would have resented her

for the rest of my life.

For the rest of my life.

I am not dealing

with you bullshit anymore.

It's not bullshit, Charlotte.

I'm telling you the truth.

You know, you have never been

good at making decisions.

Your-- your priorities

are all wrong.

What are you even

saying to me right now?

Look, I just-- I just think
