Thanks, Zana.

You're gonna get me fired.

Suck my dick.

Jane, please, you have to go

get me my money. Please?

It's Tess.

Hey. Amy.

Wait, Tess.

No, I have to deal with this.

Really?

You all right?

Who are you?

I mean...

That's not-not my problem.

Can somebody just talk to her?

Janice, you're good with her. Come on.

I was good with her, until she came flying in

here like some cracked-out little spider monkey.

She called me a b*tch. She's

shoving people. F***.

We're done. I don't know what to say to her.

She's in my car.

I just... Let's go downstairs.

I'll walk you down.

Come. I gotta talk to you.

By the way,

we are number one in preorders.

That means you are getting the cover.

Really?

Yeah. How cool is that?

Oh, it's a pleasure

to meet Jane's grandmother.

- I'm not her grandmother.

- Arash, she's not my grandmother.

Oh, I'm sorry.

And you...

I'm gonna be very nice to you.

I'm gonna freeze you for one month.

What?

And ask your boyfriend

what a noncompete clause means...

'cause if I hear you're taking other

work, you're through for life.

Hey, we should go.

It was a pleasure meeting you, ma'am.

- Bye.

- Wait. What about the expo, Arash?

You're not coming to the show.

What?

Thanks.

Bye.

So what's up with the old lady?

just somebody I'm helping out.

Helping with what?

It's nothing.

Hello?

Hey, Janice.

Cool. Yeah, I'll be there at 10:00.

Okay.

Wait.

Who am I working with tomorrow?

Ooh.

You think you could talk to him for me and

just kind of, like, smooth things over?

Can't you just let things

blow over for a couple weeks?

I mean, it'll be fine.

Yeah.

Okay.

- Walk him. Make sure he pees.

- Yeah, yeah.

Hey, have fun today.

Thank you. Bye.

Bye.

So full of people...

Do it, girl. They keep telling

me I should have one...

'cause every time one of them

mentions me, my followers go up.

I'm like, really?

Okay, mush.

You can cover my third eye.

One more.

There you go.

Hey, beautiful.

Hi.

Cammie, how are you?

Good. How are you?

Good. Make sure she looks like

million bucks today.

Oh. Done!

Chin up.

Cool.

Thank you.

Pull that light down a little bit.

You got it.

And, uh, remove those stingers

over there, and we'll go ahead...

Tess, how are you?

Good. How are you?

Good. This is Manuel.

Hey.

How are you?

Good. How are you?

Very good to meet you.

All right. Go ahead.

Grab a seat right there, and we'll...

Let me look at them.

Yeah.

Beautiful. Okay.

They look good?

Yeah.

Too much?

No, it's very good.

Okay. All right.

Cool. Well, grab a seat,

and we'll just basically, you know...

Manuel, trusting soul here,

he's gonna take us...

Yeah?

What the f*** is this, man?

It's just a little dust.

We have two full HD cameras.

Right? Yeah.

So this stuff is gonna be on the scene.

That's props. Props!

Got it. Please clean it.

That's why I didn't like to shoot here.

This was your idea.

No. it's all right. It's a great space.

Make sure somebody cleans that.

I guarantee we'll take care of it.

This is very important.

I know it's very important for you.

Make sure it's clone right.

We're gonna take care of it. Why don't you

grab a seat back there and we'll begin.

Great, thanks.

All right. So it's real simple.

Manuel, I need a pop shot right there.

What is that? Hmm?

What did you get into?

Eight, nine.

That sounds great.

We'll change the script.

Do you want this closed?

Yeah.

Head on in, close the door...

and then, when I say action,

you're coming out.

Do you want me to be dick ready, or...

Yeah, well, just, you

know, you know, you know...

Let it build, but keep both arms

behind the back.

Kay. Oh, perfect.

Okay, here we go.

And...

action.

Oh, girl. F***.

I love it when you work

my f***in' cock.

Oh, yeah.

Open up to the camera, guys.

Who's my pretty b*tch?

Oh, yeah.

Mmm. Oh.

Come here, Tess.

Come on up. Come here. Come here.

Yeah, f*** me.

F*** me, baby.

Come on, Tess. Come on.

I'm on the set. What?

Which door?

They fixed that door Tuesday.

No, it's all right.

I'll take a look at it.

Just be... You're probably pressing

the wrong button.

Oh, God!

Tess, hair. Hair.

Oh, God!

I gotta go, man.

Okay.

Guys, I'm gonna go.

Tess, you're a superstar, baby.

Bye!

Bye. Manuel, you were great.

Thank you.

Thanks, man.

Okay, guys, we're ready for the pop shot.

Yeah. Come here, Tess.

Come here, Tess.

Good. All right, cut.

Hey, get them a towel, will you?

Dude, I hate you.

Only for work?

Yeah.

- What's up?

- Hi.

Hi.

I'm Asa.

Jane. I mean Tess.

Jane.

You're new?

Yeah.

Nice to meet you.

She is really good though.

Yeah?

Really good.

That must mean

you're really good then.

No, it means I'm sitting right next to him.

No, he's not that nice.

I'm not that nice.

I'm French,

and it's in my blood to be a dick.

Okay! So I heard a funny joke today.

Want to hear it?

Yeah, go ahead.

What...

Wait.

She's always bad with jokes.

Hold on, hold on!

What's worse

than getting fingered by...

No, hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

This is the worst ever.

Whatever. Whatever. it's ruined.

What will it be? Come on.

Make us laugh.

No, no, no.

Oh! I remember. I remember. It's...

What's worse then getting banged

by Jack the Ripper?

Oh, God. Getting

fingered by Captain Hook.

But that would probably

make you squirt 'cause it's like...

Oh, sh*t, guys, I have to go.

I have to get my makeup off.

Nice to meet you, Shadow.

We've got to work together.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

I'll probably see you around.

Good working with you.

You too.

I was just at the dentist...

and my whole entire this side

of my mouth is numb right now.

I can't feel it,

and I think I might drool.

Drool!

I'm gonna pull the car

around to the front. Okay.

I'll see you outside?

Okay.

Okay.

Let's go.

You're in a fire lane.

Yeah, yeah. I'm moving.

No, you need to go. Come on.

just two seconds, sir.

Lady, look at all these cars here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm just- I'm waiting for my...

She's old.

I don't care if she's 90. You need

to get your car out of the way.

Please? Circle the block

so I don't lose my job.

Oh, fine.

Oh, come on!

Move!

Learn how to drive, b*tch!

Really?

Sh*t.

I just shooed her off

a couple minutes ago.

She probably went that way.

Dude! F***. Sh*t.

Come on, let's go.

Thanks.

Are you kidding me?

What the f*** are you doing?

Get in the car!

Sadie, get in the car.

I can't believe

you thought I would leave you.

What-What were you trying to do?

You were gonna walk home?

Are you insane?

Jesus.

For the dog.

Hey.

- Hey.

- How'd the shoot go?

Really well, actually.

Good.

Did Arash ask about me?

Uh, no, I didn't really have a chance

to talk to him.

- Jane?

- Yeah.

What? Never mind.

Okay.

Hey, did you see lots of those in Paris?

I've never been there.

What do you mean

you've never been there?

I've never been to Paris.

But you... You said you love Paris.

I do.

There's a movie

with Astaire and Hepburn...
