Somewhere
1
It's overcast, as a black Ferrari speeds around an empty
track in the foggy haze. It does lap after lap, getting
nowhere.
It slows down and stops. JOHNNY gets out and stands there.

Main titles over black: Somewhere
2 INT. CHATEAU MARMONT - NIGHT 2
JOHNNY, a bad boy actor in his early thirties, comes down the
stairs flanked by some pretty party girls, wasted and
laughing. He trips and falls down the stairs out of frame.
JOHNNY (O.S.)
Ow....f***.
CUT TO:
3 INT. JOHNNY’S BEDROOM - NIGHT 3
Johnny reclines on pillows on a bed in the Chateau Marmont.
He has a bruise on his face and a cast on his wrist.
Prescription bottles line the night table next to a bottle of
Petrus.
He stares blankly ahead. An out-of-focus girl's body comes
into frame.
CUT TO:
4 Johnny's P.O.V. - THE TWINS, dressed in candy-striper mini 4
dresses, cheerfully do a get-well dance for him at a strip
pole.
A get-well bouquet of metallic balloons are starting to sag
behind them; a little boom box plays music for their routine.
Johnny leaves them to go in the bathroom. He passes a table
with some books on it - Proust and Dostoevsky.
Official White Version 06/04/09 2.
Johnny looks in the mirror at his bruised face and how much
more his hair is thinning. He takes some Propecia and Vicodin
and goes back to bed.
6 INT. JOHNNY’S ROOM - NIGHT 6
He watches the twins from bed...his eyelids are heavy, and he
passes out.
The twins pack it up - folding up their travel strip-pole
like a telescope, and taking their boom box on their way out.
FADE OUT.
7 EXT. CHATEAU MARMONT PATIO - AFTERNOON 7
It’s a sunny day in Los Angeles. Johnny sits alone on a
bench, with sunglasses on, smoking.
A familiar waiter asks him if he needs anything.
Two LA girls at another table look over at him with inviting
smiles.
His phone makes a beep and with heavy eyelids, he looks down
at a text message on the screen:
Why are you such an a**hole?
CUT TO:
Johnny drives aimlessly through LA, down Mulholland.
A sandy blonde in a Porsche smiles at him, and he follows her
for a while, then loses her in the traffic.
CUT TO:
9 INT. CHATEAU MARMONT HALLWAY - EVENING 9
He walks down the hall, as Amazon girls dressed as vampires,

shoot is going on.

racquets.

grabs her and throws her on the bed. She shoves him off-12
CINDY:
I’m Cindy, you moron.
JOHNNY:
Oh, sorry, Cindy.
The other twin, Bambi, leans down for a passionate kiss.
BAMBI:
I’m the other one.
E.C.U. She kisses him, then blows her gum into a bubble, it
pops in his face.
CUT TO BLACK.
Official White Version 06/04/09 4.
We hear Layla’s voice over black.
LAYLA (O.S.)
Johnny...Johnny...
FADE UP:
13 INT. JOHNNY’S BEDROOM -DAY 13
Bright afternoon sun floods his room. The twins and pole are
gone.
Johnny wakes up to see CLEO, a skinny 11 year old with messy
hair, in an over-sized t-shirt, next to him on the bed,
signing his cast.
He wakes up to her radiant kid smile.
Hi, Dad.
CLEO:
LAYLA, late-thirties, stands in the doorway looking at him
like "nice one".
LAYLA:
What happened to you?
JOHNNY:
Oh, some stunt work.
stunt...
We had a big
CUT TO:
They drive down the bright sunny streets of L.A., as Johnny
takes Cleo to her ice-skating lesson.
Johnny looks in his rear view mirror.
JOHNNY:
Do you see that?
Official White Version 06/04/09 5.
What?
CLEO:
JOHNNY:
That black SUV. I think they’re
following us. Do you see cameras?
She looks back.
CLEO:
It just looks like a car.
He blows it off. They pull up and park at a Mall in the
Valley.
CUT TO:
15 INT. ICE-SKATING RINK 15
Johnny sits in the bleachers and watches her.
Cleo, in light blue, with her hair pulled back glides over
the ice in a routine to dreamy music.
He watches her - her face in peaceful concentration, she
looks like a pixie on the edge of adulthood.
CUT TO:
16 INT. CAR- EVENING 16
Johnny drives Cleo home.
JOHNNY:
You’re really good, when did you
learn how to ice-skate?
CLEO:
I’ve been going for 3 years.
JOHNNY:
Oh. Really...
She nods. He looks in rear-view mirror.
Official White Version 06/04/09 6.
JOHNNY:
Is that the same SUV?
Cleo looks back.
CLEO:
There’s kind of a lot of those in
LA.
JOHNNY:
Yeah, but I think that’s the same
one.
Cleo looks back and writes something on her iPhone.
JOHNNY:
What are you doing?
CLEO:
I’m taking down the plates.
CUT TO:

Cleo at home.

JOHNNY:
Bye, Kiddo.
Official White Version 06/04/09 7.
She is small climbing out of the low Ferrari.

On his way home alone, he stops at a red light and his phone
beeps with a text message:
You think you're such hot sh*t, don't you?
CUT TO:
19 INT. JOHNNY’S SUITE - NIGHT 19
He walks though the living room of his hotel suite- it's
filled with people hanging out, smoking, drinking,
talking...SAMMY, Johnny's stooge buddy, hosts.
Some French guy with a big joint is talking.
FRENCH GUY (WITH THICK ACCENT)
There’s this documentary- it’s
amazing- it’s called the F-word,
about the history of people saying
F*** on TV in America- with all
these clips, you know, and how
there’s a two hundred thousand
dollar fine in the U.S. If you say
it on TV, they had these clips of
Bush and he said it like 20 times,
so that would be like 4 million...
Johnny finds a loose pill in his pocket, he looks at it to
see what it is, but doesn't really care, anything will be
better, and pops it in his mouth.
C.U. Whiskey hits ice cubes in a tall glass.
