Hey, wait a minute.

Can I get you something?

May I have a cup of coffee?

I loved you in your last movie.

You're one of my favorite actors.

That's my name.

I'm so nervous.

I never get nervous.

You made me have the abortion.

You made me have the abortion.

It was a boy, Matty.

So what are you doing in Miami?

I came here to meet you.

Wanna get outta here?

When do you get off?.

Now.

Shall we?

Let's go.

''I can't help it.

It's a fixation.''

None of this is real.

Annie! Meet the new Annie!

- Annie?

- That's my name.

- How are you?

- Good.

You're doin' great, huh?

Who's the leader of the club

that's made for you and me

You like to watch yourself

in dailies.

Most directors don't like their actors

watchin' themselves in dailies.

I think that's bullshit.

You gotta see the good with the bad,

right? See the good with the bad.

Know when your acting is sh*t.

Know when you're faking it.

Know when you're f***in' lyin'.

- Want to be in pictures?

- Hey.

You want to be in pictures

Come on.

Everybody wants to be in pictures.

Don't they?

- Do they?

- Sure.

Really. Hey.

- You want to be an actress?

- I want to be an actress?

- You want to be an actress?

- Yeah.

You're beautiful.

Look at you.

Look at you. All right, huh?

- You're pretty.

- Thank you.

I'm sure everybody

tells you that, huh?

Huh? Yeah. Very, very pretty.

Very nice.

Oh, yeah. Got that spark.

Hey, Matt? Matty?

I got a terrific idea.

Listen, he's wasted.

Come with me.

You wanna smoke a joint?

- Sure. I'll smoke a joint.

- Cool. Let's go.

- Wow! This stuff is cool!

- F***in' playground, huh?

What kind of movies

do you do? Wow.

- Good ones. Put this on.

- Put this on.

You said you never wanted

to be an actress, huh?

- Well--

- Sit down.

- I did a play in high school.

- How were ya?

I think I was very, very good.

- How's that?

- You're gonna scare the sh*t outta him.

- F***in' terrific.

- Really?

It's f***in' great.

- You look just like Annie, baby.

- I am Annie.

You're Annie 2.

There's an Annie 1 .

- Annie 1 ?

- Yeah. Anyway--

- Do I look okay?

- You look fabulous.

You look really good.

- Do you like him a lot?

- Do I like Matty?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

You in love with him, huh?

Maybe. I don't know.

I just met him.

- Okay, go wow him, baby.

- He's gonna like it?

You go wow him, okay?

Knock him dead.

We got another Annie in this film.

You know that, huh?

Do you like it?

Wait now. You don't need that.

You don't need that.

It's okay. It's okay, yeah.

Be the little waitress that you are.

Hey.

Why did you leave me?

- Come on.

- Hey.

I missed you so much.

It's okay.

I missed you so much.

Oh, baby.

Why did you leave me?

I'm right here. Hey.

It's time for us

to shoot the scene.

All that sh*t that

you got on tape and this.

We're just gonna do it.

We're gonna do it right now.

Just hang in there.

It's gonna be f***in'great.

Do you believe in fate?

When you walked

into that restaurant...

I just got all these shivers.

My whole body shook.

I just knew that something

really big was about to happen.

I don't know. I thought maybe

I wasn't gonna be alone anymore.

You'll never be alone again.

Are you acting?

I ain't acting.

What the f*** is acting anyway?

I don't know the difference

between life and acting anymore.

You know what I'm saying?

It's all started to blur together.

It's just a big blur.

Listen to me.

You want to marry me

because I was still pregnant?

I don't want my baby to have

a father who is a junkie.

All right. Hey. Hey.

You're in the movie, right?

I don't want to waste a lot of film,

if you're not in the movie.

This is really important to me.

You gonna be in it or not?

Oh, man.

- What?

- Where's Annie?

We're gonna find her.

We're gonna find her for you.

There she is. She's right there.

She's right there.

Hey. It's okay.

You didn't have

an abortion, right?

I can do whatever I want.

My name is Matty.

I'm an alcoholic and drug addict.

It's been the longest year

of my life.

The wonderful thing about

being an actor is you get a script.

You know what it is

you're supposed to say.

It's kind of hard for me

to tell you my story...

because I don't know

where it began.

I suppose it started

when I was 1 5 years old...
