Johnny goes to the door, opening it to see Sylvia being sweet

and docile.

They speak in hushed tones, and her arms reach up around him.

They slip off into an adjoining room.

CUT TO:

57 INT. ITALIAN SUITE - MORNING 57

Cleo sits at a room service table set with breakfast for

three.

We hear the shower running in the other room, and Sylvia,

with wet hair, paces around talking fast and loud in Italian

on her cell phone. She’s made herself right at home.

When she gets off the phone, Sylvia sits down with Cleo and

tries too hard to befriend her. She tries to talk to her girlto-

girl, but talks to her like she’s a 5 year-old.

SYLVIA:

How old are you, Cleo?

CLEO:

Eleven.

SYLVIA:

Do you have a boyfriend?

Cleo looks at her, waiting for her to stop talking.

SYLVIA:

When I was eleven, I was so in love

with this boy, Nino Viti...he lived

in this big house...Oh, he was so

handsome, and he had a scooter...

While Sylvia goes on, Johnny enters, fresh out of the shower.

He sits down to breakfast, looking at Cleo sheepishly.

Cleo smiles at him like “nice one”. She clearly wants Sylvia

to leave already.

SYLVIA:

Do you like to ride a scooter?

CLEO:

Sure.

CUT TO:

58 INT. ITALIAN SUITE - EVENING 58

Sylvia and the room service is gone.

Pupi and his entourage tell Johnny about the awards show.

PUPI:

So, Johnny. We just need to stop by

the awards show, it would be great

if you can present the award for

the best actor and say a few words.

Maybe a story about working with Al

Pacino, or something? And then we

go to the dinner afterwards, with

the Mayor...

Johnny is already dreading it.

Cleo enters the room all dressed up.

Johnny turns and looks at her -he sees her for the first time

not just as a cute kid, but as the beautiful woman she will

become.

JOHNNY:

You look beautiful, Cleo.

She smiles.

Official White Version 06/04/09 27.

CLEO:

Thanks.

PUPI’S WIFE

Belissima!

Johnny proudly gives her his arm.

JOHNNY:

Shall we?

CUT TO:

58A EXT. MILAN HOTEL - EVENING 58A

Their fleet of cars with a police escort & sirens is off.

59 INT. TELEGATTO! AWARDS SHOW - NIGHT 59

A crazy Italian awards show is in progress- Cleo sits between

Johnny and a glamorous Italian actress.

On the stage are very tan women with big b*obs, tons of makeup

and skimpy, glittery outfits.

All the presenters are hyper, rattling away in Italian and

laughing at their own jokes.

A production assistant slips over to Johnny and takes him

backstage.

Soon, Johnny is announced with a big music cue, and comes out

on stage, escorted by some glamorous ladies.

He joins the local comedy star host, who steps away for

Johnny to present the award.

With bright lights on him, Johnny struggles through a few

lines of Italian presenting the award.

Music starts and girls in glitter dance around him.

Johnny and Cleo are out of there.

She rolls her little suitcase down the hall as they make

their exit together.

61 EXT. ITALIAN HOTEL - DAY 61

There’s chaos of movie people coming and going, fans waiting

and identical sponsored limousines with signs on them.

Johnny and Cleo jump in a car, just missing Pupi and his

entourage.

CUT TO:

62 INT. ITALIAN LIMO - DAY 62

The driver looks back at Cleo and Johnny, who turn to avoid

Pupi.

ITALIAN DRIVER:

I’m sorry, but this is Miss Lane’s

car.

JOHNNY:

Can you please take us to the

airport?

ITALIAN DRIVER:

I’m supposed to wait, but for you,

Mr. Marco, we will go. I will get

you there.

Riding in the back of the car, with tinted windows, Cleo and

Johnny give each other a look, that they made it.

Official White Version 06/04/09 29.

They lean back, and are silent as they get out of there.

FADE OUT:

We hear the sound of a jet taking off.

63 INT. CHATEAU MARMONT LOBBY - EVENING 63

Johnny and Cleo make it back.

They are worn out. She plops down on a big couch next to him.

Pockets of European and LA show business people talk around

them.

There’s a table of English fashion people drinking

margaritas. One guy has a top hat with a feather sticking out

of it.

Cleo looks at them in their costumes.

Romulo, a kind waiter they know, brings Johnny a drink.

JOHNNY:

Hi Romulo, how are things?

ROMULO:

Fine, fine. The same around

here...but the fires in Malibu are

getting worse. People are having to

evacuate.

A tired Cleo leans on her dad.

ROMULO:

Would you like a song?

Cleo nods.

Romulo comes back with his acoustic guitar and sings her “Let

me be Your Teddy Bear”.

CUT TO:

66 INT. JOHNNY’S SUITE - DAY 66

Sammy is passed out on the couch with the Guitar Hero guitar

across his lap.

Cleo answers the door. It’s Victor, a nice waiter.

VICTOR:

Good-morning, Cleo.

CLEO:

Good-morning, Victor.

He brings in a pitcher of fresh orange juice.

CLEO:

Thank you.

CUT TO:

67 INT. JOHNNY’S SUITE - DAY 67

The guys eat breakfast with Cleo as she looks up a map and

route on a laptop.

Official White Version 06/04/09 31.

CLEO:

When was the last time you backed

up your computer?

Johnny looks at her like- huh?

As she types, she tells him-CLEO

You should get Time Machine, then

you don’t have to think about it,

it automatically backs everything

up for you through the airport...

She gets up to answer the door, she speaks to the maid in

doorway.

CLEO:

Hello. Can you come back after 3?

Thank you.

She practices some ballet moves as she comes back in the

room.

Johnny sits on the couch cutting the cast off of his wrist.

CUT TO:

JOHNNY:

Is anyone following us?

Cleo checks.

CLEO:

No, the coast’s clear.

JOHNNY:

How’s your mom doing?

CLEO:

She’s good...she sleeps a lot.

There’s a loud pistol sound.

The car stops, and they pull to the side of the road.

CUT TO:

71 INT. JOHNNY’S SUITE - EVENING 71

Back at the Chateau, they enter his room defeated. She plops

her stuff down in the entry hall, and goes to plug in her

laptop.

Johnny opens the door to his bedroom, and sees:

72 INT. JOHNNY’S BEDROOM - EVENING 72

A naked blonde- wearing only a sailor cap.

Johnny jumps back.

JOHNNY:

This isn’t a good time.
