Queen of the Lot Page #2

when you get really afraid,

you go to the Yum Yum Donuts.

Isn't it absolutely

breathtaking?

I used to dream of having

a place just like this

all to myself

when I first came up here.

And now it's mine

for a little bit.

Wouldn't you like to have

a place like this for us?

DOV:
Why would I want

a place like this,

when I have my own place?

MAGGIE:
Why do you have to leave

and go to another game tonight?

'Cause there's donkeys there,

fish, degenerates.

MAGGIE:

What are fish and donkeys?

Fish and donkeys are losers,

people that give

their money away.

I think I'm going gray

from all my stress.

Why do they call them

fish and donkeys?

People that give their

money away are called fish.

That's why you go to a game.

They're idiots, the people

just show up to play the game.

They don't know how to play.

They're like masochists.

You know people that just like...

they make a bunch of money

and they want to lose.

- They're just losers.

- George Cuhort said

that they should

just let her go.

That she wasn't too big,

that she could never be too big,

and the only way

to get her to act

is just to let her do more,

do too much.

That's what they call it,

doing too much.

- What are you talking about?

- Norma Shearer.

If I was Norma Shearer,

then people would be

letting me do too much

in Red Wrecker movies,

like they say I'll always do.

You know what

I love about you?

MAGGIE:
What?

You think things that I've

never even thought of before.

Things I'll probably

never even think of.

- What?

- Really.

It's like you think of things,

that my mind was

supposed to think of,

but I'm waiting for your mind

to think about.

We're like two people in this

universe who are meant to...

I don't know,

complete the synapses

of each other's thoughts.

Your brain and my brain

make one whole brain.

Do me a favor,

don't ever leave me okay?

I don't know if I could think

without you.

I am really going gray.

This is unbelievable.

Quit picking at your hair.

CHUCK:
I got a race,

100 dollar race.

Five of hearts, seven of hearts,

two of diamonds, two of clubs.

Hold on.

I want to thank you for

letting me stay at your place.

I hope I'm not being a...

you know...

CAESAR:
A pain?

Staying above...

'cause Maggie really,

I mean, you know, she didn't

want to stay at my place, so.

It's an honor, it's an honor.

By the way, I happen to be

a big fan of yours.

I like your work, very much.

- Thanks a lot.

- CAESAR:
Very much.

You know she feels

comfortable up there.

She said that...

you discovered her, or whatever.

Hey, listen, who's turn is it?

What's going on?

It's not whatever,

we did discover her.

It's not a whatever.

You know, I know your father

from back in the day.

DOV:
You knew my father

back in the day?

Absolutely.

Yes. Are we playing or not?

CAESAR:
Are we playing? Come on.

DOV:
Uh, of course

I'm gonna pay you.

Of course I'm gonna pay you.

You know, are you crazy?

Have I ever not paid?

Have I ever welshed

on a bet ever?

Do you know me to

ever welsh on a bet?

What, do you want me to bring

$50,000 in cash to a game?

Yeah.

You know,

it's 3:
30 in the morning,

I can't have this conversation

with you right now.

- (DOORBELL RINGS)

- (DOG BARKING)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Look, I'm starting another film

in like, I don't know,

three weeks.

And I'll be able to get you

your money, alright?

- (DOORBELL RINGS)

- (DOG BARKING)

CAESAR:

Alright, alright sweetie. Stay.

Yes?

Yes it is.

Hi, my name's Aaron Lambert.

I'm looking for my brother, Dov.

CAESAR:
Come in, come in.

Okay, man. It's freezing.

I'm looking for my brother,

Dov Lambert, is he here?

(KNOCKING)

I got to go,

there's someone at the door.

- (KNOCKING)

- Who is it?

Aaron?

What the...

- Jesus.

- (LAUGHING)

Hey, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to interrupt.

DOV:
What are you doing here?

AARON:
I didn't mean

to disturb you or anything.

How did you find me here?

No, no, no, no.

This... this is my younger

brother, this is Aaron.

Hi, it's so nice to meet you.

Aaron, Maggie.

And Maggie, Aaron.

This is the love of my life.

I've heard so much about you.

DOV:
You look great.

You wanna take your jacket off?

You want to sit down?

Actually, can I borrow him

for a minute?

I promise I'll bring him

right back.

- I'll be right back.

- Nice to meet you.

- MAGGIE:
You too.

- Closed, yeah?

DOV:
What the hell

are you doing here?

Dorothy left me.

What?

She split, she left.

She said she can't take

my bruiting anymore,

she said I'm depressive.

She said I was born with

a silver spoon in my mouth,

and now that the spoon is gone,

I choke reality.

I choke reality.

And she was tired of it,

and she...

split.

That's the bottom line,

she left.

But the good news is,

Dad is pulling out

his glory project.

Finally finalized

after eight or nine years

with the Lubitsch estate,

it's green lit apparently.

- No.

- When I get a call from him,

and I try and tell him that

my life is falling apart,

and it's really all sh*t,

all he can think of is saying

is, "Where's your brother?

Where's your brother?

Where's your Goddamn brother?"

What do you think he wants?

I think he wants you,

you dumb f***.

I think you're a big f***ing

star now, as weird as that it.

And I think he needs you.

Well, he also invited me to stay

for the whole weekend.

He's gonna tell everybody

in the family

some big important announcement.

And he wants you there.

Do you want to stay here?

- No.

- No, you can stay here.

- No thank you.

- No, it's Maggie's...

It's her manager's place.

It's the weirdest place,

but there's all kinds

of rooms everywhere.

You could stay here.

I'm gonna talk to them.

You stay here.

I mean, come on, it's five in

the morning, you can stay here.

Spend the night here.

Maybe tonight I'll sack out

on the couch or something.

DOV:
It doesn't matter,

you can stay,

there's rooms everywhere.

Will you settle down

and go to sleep?

Oh, I think I just ripped,

something's bothering me.

- I can't sleep.

- (CAMERA CLICKING)

- Go to sleep.

- Close your eyes, take it.

- Go to sleep, Jesus Christ.

- Alright.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

Okay.

Alright.

Okay, alright.

(GROANING)

- (HEAVY BREATHING)

- (WEIGHTS CLINKING)

(GROANING)

(SIGHING)

Here they are.

- Well, that looks pretty good.

- How many do you like?

Um...

- That much.

- That's great.

You really didn't have

to make me breakfast.

Oh, I love it,

are you kidding me?

That wife, that wife, that...

What the f*** is his name again?

We used his house.

- Who, Barry?

- Barry, that's right.

Barry's wife,

she's such a b*tch.

We work in a basement there,

we have a card game

in the basement.

Shes got crap hanging

all over the place,

she doesn't want us there.

- Ketchup, no?

- No.

- Olives?

- Again, no thank you.

- Roll?

- Yes, thank you.

- Toast, butter?

- You gonna join me,

or you just gonna hover over me

and offer me all sorts...
