Supporting Characters Page #3

---

tell you this at the time,

but I'm, like, a big

fan of your work.

The new show you're on,

I love it.

- Thank you.

- I love it, it's great.

What's your favorite episode

of the show that she's on?

Like a real standout

episode, I'm just curious.

Okay, that's awkward. You

don't have to answer that.

My favorite episode by far...

I mean, they're all great,

but the one that

really stood out

is when your character

Dana Dixon

is finally reunited

with her long-lost brother,

Crash Dixon, when he comes

back from Afghanistan.

- Yeah.

- And the way it kind of very organically

- works toward this very moving ending.

- Right.

I thought was very well done.

Yes, that was one of my

favorite episodes as well.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

That was a good one, yeah. Do you

have a different one, though?

- The first one was good.

- Oh, the pilot!

Yeah, the pilot.

The pilot episode.

That's awesome.

It just kind of introduced

all the characters,

and everyone, you

got kind of a taste

for who the characters were. All

that stuff was great. I just, um...

Did you look at my scene yet?

No, actually, I dove

into the elevator scene.

Kind of... Sort of

playing with that again.

- I've shown it to Jamie.

- Yeah. It's actually really funny.

Yeah, she liked it,

I think it's cutting well.

Oh, okay, you

didn't look at it.

I'm not, I'm just saying, like,

all this being yours

is a little unbelievable.

You're so stupid.

I'm not judging you, baby.

You know, I've dated

girls before you.

Yeah, I'm sure you have.

Here we go.

- Hey, hey, hey.

- What?

I wanna tell you something.

I love you.

Are you being for real?

Are you making fun of me?

I'm serious.

No, no, I'm not

making fun of you, no!

No, I wanted to tell

you the same thing.

Me, too, I wanted

to say I love you.

I love you, too.

It's, like, we could

wait to tell each other,

but I feel it. And what's the

point of not telling you?

I totally agree.

I totally agree, baby.

So, who are we meeting up with?

Do you remember the producer who

wants to put me in the show?

Yes. I do remember you

telling me about that.

- Yeah, well...

- This is him?

Yeah. Right here?

Ah, cool. Look at

you networking.

I should be networking.

Hey! Darryl...

Darryl.

What's up, man?

- Alejandro.

- Alejandro.

Nice to meet you, man.

Right this way.

Okay, baby.

Do you need a ride somewhere?

You know what? It's a nice night

for a walk, man. I'm cool.

You sure? Yeah.

It is. Have a nice night there, man.

Take care, brother.

Have a good night. All

right, man, you too.

Get her home safe.

What?

Wait, wait.

So what happened?

She tells me

she loves me, right?

Mmm-hmm. And then...

- In the car...

- Before she gets in the car.

Before she gets in the car.

She tells me she loves me,

and then I take her

to this car, and then

he gives her a ride home.

Who's he? I thought you

were on a date with her.

I told you, man, he's

like a show producer.

Oh, okay, he's a show producer.

Right.

And what time of night is this?

Like, 12:
00 in the morning.

- Midnight?

- Yeah, it was late.

- Oh, that's late.

- Well, just let me finish.

Well, that's late,

that's important.

That's why I thought

it was a problem.

But she says he's legit and,

like, he's a real show producer.

All right, let's go to, like,

Oh, perfect, okay.

It's already there.

Okay, great. Yeah,

okay, wonderful.

So you know what's going on here... You

guys know that I got Yoga at 3:00.

That's a hard-out

for me.

Yeah. It's at the top

of our minds.

- Good.

- Yeah.

So why don't you hop up there,

we'll test your levels.

Try it a few times.

All right, so I'm basically just

playing this guy who's running

- away from a dog.

- Yeah. Exactly.

And be a little bit, uh,

out of breath.

You know, and freaked

out a little bit.

- Ready?

- All right, let's hit it.

Hey, why's this dog chasing me?

Why is the dog chasing me?

- Somebody get the dog.

- "The dog's gonna bite me."

The dog's gonna bite me!

Somebody stop him!

Yeah, just loosen it up.

Have a little more fun

with it, you know, like...

- Yeah.

- The dog's... The dog's gonna bite me!

That's good,

keep the looseness,

and now give it a little

more character, like...

Like, give it, like, um...

Give it like a little

urban sensibility.

You know?

- You want it blacker.

- Blacken it up.

All right.

You don't know any other

black people, do you?

Just try it.

Uh...

Somebody stop this dog!

Somebody get... This

dog don't got a leash!

Goddamn this dog gonna get me!

If this dog gets me, I'm

gon' probably get rabies.

This dog is gonna bite my ass.

Yeah, good, good. Save it,

save it for the real thing.

That was good.

Well? What do you think?

You want me to cue that up?

Yeah, see if those levels work,

and then we'll

do the real thing.

Okay, so it's midnight,

she's in this

show producer's car...

Bottom line, all right.

I don't think this girl... I

know she would not cheat on me

right in front of my face...

You know, she did say

she loved you, so...

I don't know why she would

have lied about that.

I'm sorry, you... This

is between him and I.

I'm not trying to be a jerk...

You're having a conversation

in the same room as me.

I understand that, we're

working together...

But I just need you to

stay out of my business.

Let's just focus

on the session.

I would love to finish

this movie before I die.

- So let's just...

- Me, too.

- Keep focused.

- I'm with you on that.

All right, so she doesn't

hit me back last night,

but she texted me this morning.

Let me show you

what she sent me.

- She sent you this this morning?

- Just this morning.

"Hey, babe, I know you're busy, just want

to tell you how much I appreciate you."

Sweet.

I don't know, man.

Could be dealing with some sort of mad,

evil genius I've never encountered before.

I'm all cued up.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Let's try a few. Let's just roll a

bunch in a row and see what happens.

Remember, you're afraid,

you're energetic, and there's

a little bit of, you know,

urban-ness.

- Ready?

- Okay.

Put this motherfucking dog

on a leash!

That was perfect for me, guys.

I think we got it.

So, how did you guys meet?

Me and Amy, or Darryl and I?

Oh, let me tell her.

I saw his brown eyes from

across the room... No.

You and Amy.

Me and Amy.

Well, Amy had fallen off the

platform of the B train...

Oh, my God. And the train was

rolling into the station

and caught on fire.

No, that's not true.

He's playing.

That's not true.

We met on the Internet.

Boring. It's lame, I know.

It's kind of lame.

That's very lame.

Boring!

What are you going to do? But

this guy, me and him met...

I was teaching at

New York Film Academy.

And somehow... I still don't know how

you got ahold of my e-mail address.

But somehow he got

ahold of my e-mail address

and started stalking me

for a year.

The same thing happened

with me, but on Facebook.

Don't put me out there
