I'm not feeling very well.

I mean, I'm fine.

It's fine. I just...

I don't... I don't know what's

happening right now.

So if someone could...

If someone could please call me

back when you get this, please.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Are you alright?

Hey, Sarah, you alright?

Let me look at you. Come here.

Hey, are you okay? You alright, Sarah?

- Danny, get drunk with me.

- I'm alright right now, man.

But I love you. I love you very much.

Suit yourself but we won't be able

to sneak booze into the bowl.

It easy to sneak booze in. All you have

to do is flirt with the dude at the door.

Oh. Yeah, yeah, I'll give that a shot.

Dude.

She's going to Ralph.

Hey, I think maybe

we need to get her home.

Get her like some water or something.

- Yo, Poe, put that away.

- No, no, no, this is golden.

I'm going to make a Tumblr. It's going

to be called Sick, slutty Sarah, yeah.

No, you're not.

What the f*** are you thinking?

- Damn it, leave him alone.

- I love you. It's okay.

Give me my f***ing phone!

- Whoa!

- Jesus.

Dude.

Sarah? What the...

I was trying to stop him. What...

- Okay, what...?

- Let's just keep it funny everybody.

- Relax.

- Am I the bad guy now?

- Why are you defending her, Danny?

- Go after her. She's sick.

Sarah, you shouldn't go

down there. It's not safe.

Go after her. She's going to...

She just pushed me.

She's not going to want me to...

I mean it. She's obviously

not feeling well.

Astreus Pictures.

Hello?

Hello?

I don't feel good. I don't feel...

Hello?!

I did what you asked.

Hey, you okay?

How dare you! How dare

you touch me! How dare you!

I'm sorry.

Sarah, if you can't really let yourself

go how can you ever transform

- into something else?

- You're at the gates.

All you need is for me

to open them for you.

Maybe we didn't see what

we needed from you after all.

Your face would be on the poster,

the poster on the wall,

a wall in a lobby,

the lobby of the movie theater,

a theater with a marquee.

They are all losers. Cancer.

Kill your old life, Sarah.

Bury it in the earth

and join us in the skies.

Sarah? You okay?

Go away.

Listen, I really need to get in there.

I... Just go away please.

You've been in there for like, two hours.

I have to get ready for work.

Are you okay?

Sweetie, what...?

Do you smell that?

I think it's coming from you.

Yeah,

Sarah, no offense,

but I mean, that's you.

- Are you on your period?

- What?

F*** you.

All right, that's enough, okay.

I've had enough of your sh*t.

What the hell's going on with you?

You told them.

- You told them.

- Who? What?

About my audition. And the producer,

- right?

- It came...

I bet you all got off on it too, right?

- No.

- Seeing me fail like that?

Sarah, those are your friends.

Okay, nobody wanted that for you.

They're your friends!

They're your friends!

I am trying to do something big.

I'm trying to do something with my life.

How am I supposed to do this

when you surround me with these...

losers?

Do you hear the words that are

coming out of your mouth right now?

They're like venom to me,

like, like a cancer,

all of you guys, just all of you.

You and Danny, Erin, just like,

living off of me.

Oh, living off of you?

Okay, the last time I checked I covered

your rent for the past two months

and I'm guessing you don't have

this month's either because

you're so obsessed with this job

that just wants to f*** you

instead of the job

that actually pays your bills.

What the f***?

Now it's our apartment again.

So do me a favor, Trace, and f*** off!

Sarah.

Don't fight it.

Sleep now, Sarah.

We want to show you something.

I hope that's a working title.

- Are you sure you really...

- Danny was just talking about it...

Maybe we get to see the acting chops

that we've heard so much about.

- Sarah, are you a Tater's girl?

- Tracey told us what happened.

He was just telling me...

You know what you have to do.

What's the matter, Sarah?

Are you not feeling well?

I'm dying.

- I'm dying.

- Yes, you are.

You can go into the ground to be

forgotten forever or you can be reborn.

Did you expect it to be painless,

that it would be easy,

that you'd simply wake up one morning

with everything you ever

wanted laid out before you?

I told you Sarah,

dreams require sacrifice.

And so do we.

I can give you what you want Sarah,

but you need to embrace

who you really are.

It's time to become one of us.

It's time to be remembered.

Grab something.

Hit him.

I can't get over

comfortable your bed is.

More comfortable

than the five year old futon

you've been dragging

around since college?

I got to pee.

- You want anything?

- Yeah, I want some water

and a treat, a little special something.

Okay.

- Bravo.

- Jesus f***ing Christ.

Sarah?

You scared the sh*t out of me.

Don't!

Sarah, what are you doing here?

You let him put that

revolting thing in you.

And then he gives you

the role of Simone back.

You were watching us?

You think I had to f*** Danny

to get a role in his movie?

That's sad that you see

the world like that.

Sarah, you know that me and Danny

have hooked up before, right?

Did it ever occur to you

that maybe we just like each other?

Sarah, get the f*** out of here.

You know what's sad?

You.

All of you.

A role in Danny's little film, how sad.

What's sadder is that you

think I want any of it,

that I'd sink so low.

Right. Why would you have

to f*** Danny for her role

when you've already f***ed

some big time movie producer?

Yeah, Tracy told us about the stack

of cash from Astreus Pictures.

Oh, my God,

Sarah, did you...

Did you actually suck

some old producer's cock

for a role in a movie

called The Silver Scream?

That's sad.

It's a gateway part.

From here it sounds

a lot like prostitution.

Don't!

- Sarah, what happened to you?

- Don't, don't touch me.

- Sarah...

- Don't touch me.

- Sarah.

- Don't.

Stop it, stop it.

- We need to get you to a hospital.

- No, no, get off me.

It feels good.

See what happens when you stop fighting?

Trust us, Sarah.

Don't hurt yourself.

Let us in. Embrace who you are.

What's up?

Sarah?

What are you doing here?

Hey, did you see Erin?

Yeah. We talked.

Okay, what did you talk about?

You.

Right.

Did she tell you

how worried we are about you?

Since you ran off the other night?

You know, Tracy came by here,

she said the two of you had a big fight.

We're all pretty concerned.

Look, Sarah, whatever is going on...

we can help you.

You know, just talk to me.

You,

help me?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm your friend.

No, you're not.

None of you are.

Sarah, of course we are.

Sarah?

Jesus, what's wrong with you?

Are you...?

I don't have any friends.

Wait! Don't!

Sarah, don't, don't.

Why, why?

There's only one thing in

this whole world that I want

and they're going to give it to me.

They see the real me.

Yes.

Hail Astreus. Hail Astreus.

Hail Astreus. Hail Astreus.

Hail Astreus. Hail Astreus.
