Shrink Page #4

What do you do?

I work at a temp agency

at a car rental place.

F***, that's cool.

Yeah, well, my agent sucks, though.

- F***, you should meet Patrick.

- Who's Patrick?

Well, Patrick's my agent.

He's a little crazy, but he's a good guy.

Really? I can meet him?

If you want.

You'd do that?

For you, yeah, I'll do that.

I really like you.

I really like you, too.

So, you're still getting intervened?

I got this patient now.

My father gave me this case.

I know what he's up to.

He's like some little elf,

you know, with some magical plan that...

She's a kid.

I mean, for Christ's sakes.

I can't take on that kind of responsibility.

You know, l...

She needs somebody who can tell her

that everything's going to be great

and the world is beautiful.

And I'm in no shape to do it anyway.

And besides, I can't fix people.

I think you can try.

Do you want some Sticky Icky?

- Texas Sticky Icky?

- No, no. Just let me finish this.

This is Uncle Henry.

- Hey, man.

- What the f*** are you doing here?

What? You said 7:30.

It's f***ing 5:
30, though.

Sh*t, man, I'm sorry.

I don't have a watch.

- Is this your dad?

- No, it's not my dad.

- That's...

- Henry Carter.

What, like the doctor?

No, I am the doctor.

F*** off.

You're not the doctor.

- I am. I'm Henry Carter.

- Really?

Yeah, really, Henry Carter.

- I'm f***ing listening to your book.

- Christ, you're kidding.

No.

Is it helping?

I don't know.

It's hard to say.

I've just started.

F***, is this... this a therapy session

or something?

No.

Are you the girl from the Carl's Jr. ads?

Yeah, I am.

Who are you?

I'm a writer.

Really?

Anything I would know?

Unfortunately, no.

I haven't...

But that's soon to change.

Jeremy Banks?

Yeah.

- Hi.

- Hi.

You have an appointment with Patrick?

No, I just met him the other day

and he said I should

send my script here, so...

I just...

Do you always drop off

your scripts in person?

No, this is the first time.

It's weird to do that, isn't it?

This is weird, right?

It's a little weird, yeah.

Sh*t.

Patrick doesn't really read scripts,

but I'll give it a read, okay?

- You will?

- Yeah, unless it sucks.

Right.

Congratulations on the pregnancy.

Thanks.

Kate Amberson.

We love Kate Amberson.

We have always loved Kate Amberson.

Hit me.

Murder Factory 4.

It will be the third one.

Not interested.

I see you want something

with a little more substance.

So playing a paraplegic...

Paralyzed from the upper lip down,

but it would convey a message, I think.

What does she look like these days?

- Right.

- I mean she did just have a kid.

She's a mom.

Is she a mom I'd like to f***?

Adult drama.

- Something with f***ing.

- Lesbian.

Not disgusting lesbian,

but tasteful lesbian.

Right, right.

Broken marriage.

Secret affair.

F***ing in the shower sort of thing.

How do you feel about her portraying

a female member of the Taliban?

Film's called Burka.

She'd have to wear a burka,

so how are her eyes?

Are they puffy from having babies?

The Year of the Avalanche script.

F***ing in a cabin

while it's buried under the snow.

- Very hot, nice work.

- Right?

We need a belly double.

This is Kate Amberson.

This is Kate mother-f***ing Amberson.

Take a deep breath there, champ.

Relax and talk to us.

I want to pick the exact, right phrase

to convey the delicacy of what it is

that I'm feeling right now.

F*** you. F*** you.

Okay.

I had a few one night and I got this tattoo.

You know, it's in kanji.

I can read kanji.

- Serious?

- Yeah.

Are you reading my files?

Mr. Holden, you know I can't do that.

Maybe you should.

There's some pretty wild stuff in there.

Maybe you and I can make

an appointment.

You know, so you can at least tell me

if this says "Happiness and laughter."

Mr. Holden.

I think I'm wrong.

Are you who I think you are?

Yeah, nice to meet you.

You should make better movies.

I'm glad you came back.

I have to.

They're making me.

Well, they want to help you.

I told you I don't need any help.

So Jack Holden comes here?

I can't talk about my clients.

Any other famous people come here?

I can't talk about my clients.

How was your week?

Did you see any movies?

Apocalypse Now.

Whoa.

If Jack Holden comes here

for his problems,

why do you care about someone like me?

What are your problems?

When did I say I had any problems?

I think you just did.

I didn't want to look at myself.

This week?

Didn't want to look at myself.

How did it go at the studio?

Great. I mean,

I can make it rain scripts

- by this afternoon, but...

- But what?

Well, it's going to be

a little different this time.

- What do you mean?

- You're not 27 anymore.

I mean, you're not even 30.

- You're saying I'm old.

- I'm not saying...

- A little bit old. I'm kind of old.

- No, you're not.

- I'm past... Okay.

- I was in there with you...

- Listen, I'm aware of...

- You're not old, you're just not young.

It's going to limit the roles just a little.

- I know.

- Hi, excuse me.

Are you who I think you are?

Could I take a picture with you?

God, no.

- Really?

- No.

- I'm, like, a big...

- I'm sorry.

- This is really not...

- B*tch.

But on the whole it's a f***ing...

it's a big movie, it's a good movie.

We had a bunch of sword fighting

and horse riding, and...

- They couldn't use guns.

...beautiful ladies.

Not yet. If they had them, boy,

that would've been a quick movie.

Like...

- Everyone's dead.

- Good night.

The battle would've been over in seconds.

That's it.

What a great director, too.

He was a genius.

He was fantastic.

Brilliant man.

If he ever gets English down, watch out.

Some of the movie's

got some beautiful girls.

- Beautiful girls, yeah.

- Beautiful f***ing girls.

But once they shave,

they're going to be... a little French.

You have to go like,

"Watch out there. Props."

Second hairdresser.

- Yeah.

- Scary.

But, you know, the movie itself

is a f***ing great film.

It's got Jack,

which makes any movie great.

F***, we've done

how many of these today?

- 50.

- F***ing 50, 75.

And what else... what else

can we say about the film?

It's a big, f***-off action movie

with some great fight scenes,

battle scenes, you know?

It's... F***...

- You end.

- What else?

Let's get the f*** out of here.

Yeah, let's get the f*** out of here.

Good night. Thank you.

Yeah, enjoy the film.

This is not my normal ride, okay?

I don't roll like this all the time.

My wife took my f***ing car keys.

She's right, though.

Two-thirds in the tank,

I shouldn't be driving.

Can I ask you a question?

Shoot.

I don't know what the f*** I'm doing.

Not really a question.

No.

Man, can you take the wheel?

It's pretty...

Hold on, I got to piss.

Just take it.

F*** me. F*** me!

You want to get straight?

No, I really... Okay.

Jesus.

Yeah?

Your clients...

Do you ever feel like

you can't do anything for them?

I mean, really, anything?

I don't know.

I just sell smoke.
