do you find gina attractive?

No. I'd never hire an assistant

I find attractive.

Why not?

She's a pretty girl.

Do you find ryan attractive?

Okay, here we go.

No, I don't.

Well, I figured you have to find

him attractive on some level.

You cast him as the lead

in the movie.

No, no, that's not true.

I did not cast him

in the movie.

All right, you made me cast him

as the lead in the movie.

No, we've been over this.

I didn't make you do anything.

You hired him

as a favor to gina,

And that's why

he's in the movie, isn't it?

Would you f*** him?

What did you just

f***ing ask me?

I said

would... You... F***... Him?

No... I... Wouldn't.

Did actors in the past,

and I have two words for them:

Never again.

I just thought maybe

you two knew each other.

Maybe you met before.

When? When would we have

met before?

Please, enlighten me.

Maybe your modeling days

when you first got to la.

Oh, god, no,

I hadn't, christian.

But you know, who knows?

I was pretty wasted

during those days.

So anything's possible, right?

Come on.

Christian, why are you

asking me these things?

No reason. You're the one

getting all defensive.

I'm chill, baby.

Why are you asking me

about ryan?

I just thought maybe

the two of you had met before.

No. Nope.

We had not.

We had not met before.

I'm gonna get another.

You want one?

Yeah.

After that interrogation,

give me a f***ing double.

How was your day?

Did you go to the gym today?

Hey, babe!

- Hey, babe.

- How'd it go?

Uh, I don't think I got it.

Too many other guys.

I'm sorry, babe.

What are you doing?

Christian does yoga

with cynthia gray?

What?

I'm just looking

at his schedule.

Do you know her?

Yeah. Actually, I was

in an acting class with her

A few years ago.

Weird to see

her name again.

So she's teaching yoga now.

Typical.

Right, that's exactly

what christian's doing

When he's over with cynthia.

It's yoga. Sure.

So I had lunch

with tara today.

- You did?

- Yeah.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I just-

I don't know. I guess

I'm a little surprised

After what you told me

about her last night.

Yeah, I know, but christian

asked me to go, so-

- Why?

- I don't know.

It was like he wanted me

to find out something.

- Like what?

- I really don't know.

Afterwards, it just confirmed

everything he already knew,

Which is that she doesn't

wanna have anything more

To do with the movie.

What else did she say?

Well, I don't think

she believed me

When I told her you thought

christian was cool.

- Why would you tell her that?

- Huh?

That-why would you say that

I thought christian was cool?

What does it matter? You don't

care that I said that, right?

Ryan?

You can tell her

whatever you want, babe.

I mean,

I don't even know her.

She also seemed-

I don't know,

she seemed scared.

Really anxious.

She kinda reminded me

of like one of those girls

In those movies that's being

followed by somebody.

I- I don't know.

It was just very weird.

- Hey!

- Hey. Is everything okay?

I mean, you said we couldn't

talk about this on the phone.

I asked gina

what this was about.

- She had no idea.

- Ryan, it's okay.

Close the door.

But why?

Uh, there's no one here.

Close the door, ryan.

Can we make this fast?

I'd rather just stand,

if that's okay.

What's going on?

Why are you calling me

to the office

At 11:
00 at night, jon?

Look, I'll be upfront.

Gerald is still having problems

with you for the lead.

I know you've known this,

And even though you've been

officially cast for this,

He's reconsidering.

You're f***ing kidding me.

No. I'm not

f***ing kidding you.

What does this mean?

What does

"reconsidering" mean?

We're shooting in a month, jon.

I put my whole life on hold.

Sit down.

Well...

I'm the one with the direct line

to chris and gerald.

Has gina been told about this?

No, gina hasn't been

told about this.

If gina hasn't been told about

this, then why am I here?

I'm calling her.

No, don't.

Put the phone away.

Ryan, put the phone down!

I can make sure

you keep the role.

Yeah?

How's that?

Well, I'm going out to, uh,

Palm springs this weekend,

and, uh...

Well, why don't you come?

Aren't you going with billy?

No.

You mean me and gina?

No. Just, um...

Just me and you.

Well...

Sure. Why not? But...

Why wait?

Exactly.

Let's do it now.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Suck me off right now.

Right here. Now.

In the office.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Come on. Get to work.

F***in' put it in your mouth.

Seriously?

Seriously. Come on.

I need to get off.

Make it hard.

Is this what you want?

Suck me off right now.

You know you want it.

Hey, cynthia?

Hey, uh, this is ryan from

suzie waiter's acting class.

Yeah, yeah, I know. It's-

it's been a long time.

Listen, I wanted

to ask you something.

Who is this?

I'm going out.

Amber texted me.

We're gonna have a drink

or see a movie or something.

Cool.

Really? That's it?

You're not gonna ask me where

I'm going or when I'll be home?

Nothing?

No. I trust you, baby.

Okay.

I'm gonna

take a shower first.

Okay. I'm going out.

I'll be back in a bit.

Okay.

What are you gonna do?

Go online.

Look for somebody to be here

when you get back.

Oh, okay.

Really? Tonight?

Yeah. Really.

Okay.

You smell nice.

Thank you.

Hey, it's me.

I need you to come over now.

- So, you remember me?

- No, I don't.

Yeah, I used to date christian,

you know, before I met you.

- Great.

- You don't seem surprised.

Honestly, I don't really care

who christian dated.

And why would I be surprised?

Christian went out with

a lot of girls before me,

And I don't care.

Well, I would.

I would care.

Cynthia...

Really don't have a clue,

do you?

You don't know anything about me

and christian, do you?

All right, you know what?

Lay it out, babe.

What kind of trouble am I in?

Tara, you know,

I have enough of a clue

To get into contact with you.

Okay, because I think, you need

to get out of this relationship.

I think you need

to get away from him.

Really?

Why?

Because he's sick.

He's a sick little boy.

Go on.

I mean, even though he was,

you know, f***ing other girls,

There were, of course, the

hookups that we did together.

I never wanted to.

I mean, he...

Always pressured me into them.

Really?

You didn't want to?

I'm assuming he does

the same thing with you.

Just finish your f***ing story,

cynthia.

I need to get the hell

outta here.

Not really a story. No.

Just that moment when everything

became clarified for me.

You know, one night

when things got out of hand.

How?

I found myself

in the emergency room at ucla.

Hmm. How did that happen?

Christian decided to invite a

bunch of guys over to the house.

And you let him.

No.

Actually, I didn't.

I was passed out.

And who's fault was that,

cynthia, hmm?

Your precious christian

decided to crush up

A bunch of rufelin in a drink

that he gave me.

I never called him "precious,"

first of all.

I believe that was your name.
