The Change-Up Page #4

Synopsis: Growing up together, Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they've slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: beautiful wife Jamie (Leslie Mann), kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch's stress-free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true. Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave's worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other's bodies and proceed to freak out. Despite the freedom from their normal routines and habits, the guys soon discover that each other's lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed. Further complicating matters are Dave's sexy legal associate, Sabrina (Olivia Wilde) and Mitch's estranged father (Alan Arkin). With time

(EXCLAIMING)

What the hell

was that?

Relax. This is good.

Look at how

great this is.

It's all part of my

secret master plan.

It is?

You bet.

You are hurting my

arm a little bit.

This deal is critical to the

very survival of this firm.

Is that clear?

I got it.

I know what I'm doing.

I've been doing it for...

How long have I

been doing it here, huh?

How long have I worked here?

You know that.

(EXHALES)

I don't know.

Nine years, 10.

Yeah.

Yeah. Perfect.

Exactly 10 years, that's exactly right.

And have I ever

steered you wrong?

No.

Trust me, bro.

Bro?

Fine.

But from here on out, you are

on an extremely short leash!

Understand?

Now, go.

Put on some proper clothes.

You look like a Jew.

Oh.

DAVE:
Excuse me, hello.

Where do the movie stars park?

Hello, there. Hey, man.

What's up?

Where the f*** is

hair and makeup?

Mitch Planko.

F*** me.

Right there.

F*** me.

Oh, look at that.

That looks like fun.

Ready for you on set.

Anything I can get you?

Vitamin water or Pellegrino?

No, thank you.

I just have a quick question.

What does that mean,

there, "TS?"

Titty shot.

And, "BTS,"

right there?

Bouncing titty shot.

Bouncing titty shot.

Steve Driver,

coming to the set.

I'm just curious, what

kind of movie is this?

It's a Iorno.

I'm not familiar with that genre.

Is that European?

Lorno, "Light porno."

Tits and shadows.

You ever hear

of Skinemax?

Oh, no.

Come on, big guy.

(WITH ACCENT) No, no, no.

More oil.

Make him shiny

like fish.

Are you the one

in charge here?

Mitch, I'm Valtan,

the director.

Oh, good. There's been

some kind of mistake...

Mona!

Where the f*** is...

I'm here!

Hey!

Here's the scene, okay?

You going to enter with a gun...

Where the gun?

Mitch, you going to come in.

Guard going to try to stop you.

Line, line, line.

You knock him the f*** out, okay?

You see Mona.

She lying there in the bed.

Then we bounce titty,

bounce titty, bounce titty,

slow mo, bouncy titty,

Iicky tip of nipple,

regular speed,

bouncy titty,

slap the ass, slap the

ass, slap the ass,

and a wind come in, blow out a candle.

Finite. What do you think?

Oh, it's like a poem!

It's like a poem!

Mitch is gonna be great

in our movie film.

Lock it up!

MAN 1:
Locking it up.

Have a good scene.

Places, everyone.

MAN 1:
Quiet on the set. This is heavy.

Do you want to take...

The camera is rolling.

Question.

VALTAN:
And action!

Hey.

Action!

No entry!

MAN 2:
(WHISPERING)

Mitch, here.

If you let...

If you let me don't in,

Taco, I will f*** you dead.

That can't be right.

All right, come on!

Just knock him the f*** out, go inside.

Keep rolling!

MAN 1:
Still rolling.

VALTAN:
Action!

(GRUNTING)

Come on.

I barely hit him.

All right, we fix it in post.

Just keep rolling, keep rolling.

MAN 1:
Keep rolling!

Lola, wake up surprise.

(SCREAMING)

Holy sh*t!

Steve Driver,

you perfect bastard, you.

VALTAN:
Rip it off.

(MOANING)

(EXCLAIMS)

God!

Oh, yeah, eat that titty, boy.

Eat that titty.

(PURRING) Yeah, yeah!

Eat that titty.

Oh, Sh*t.

VALTAN:
Like Cheerio,

boy. Delish!

(MOANING) Yeah!

Breakfast champion, boys.

Mount for sex time.

Go! On bed.

Give it to me, Steve!

VALTAN:
Come on!

Okay, okay, okay.

(PURRING)

VALTAN:
Yeah!

Pump that ass, boy.

Go, boy!

(GROANS)

Loosen hips,

loosen hips.

(MOANING) VALTAN: Go!

Deep thrusting!

VALTAN:
Yeah!

Put your thumb

up her butt.

What?

Stick your thumb

up her butthole.

I promise you,

it's nice, clean.

You eat cake off

lady's Starfish, okay?

Ahhh...

No.

(PURRING)

I have killed people.

Mostly men.

I'm not allowed

back in Eastern Bloc.

Now, you put your thumb

up nice lady's butthole,

or else, maybe you have

an accident on set.

Maybe light fall on your head,

maybe you get electrocute.

Maybe goat f*** your mouth.

I don't know.

Movie set be very

dangerous place.

Mmm-hmm.

Okay.

And have fun with it.

Okay.

Keep rolling, keep rolling.

I'm going to hell.

(SQUELCHING)

(MONA EXCLAIMS)

Oh, Steve!

It's like Christmas

in my ass!

VALTAN:
Moving it around!

Moving it around! (MOANING)

Like iPhone.

Yeah.

Hey, purchase

some apps!

Buy Angry Birds!

And enter Dimitri.

Dimitri?

Hi, Dimitri.

What are you doing

with my wife, man?

VALTAN:
Thrust!

Don't improvise, okay?

Keep thrusting,

keep thrusting.

VALTAN:
Pump it.

Oh, hey, hey, hey.

Now kiss that boy.

No, no, no.

I'm good, Dimitri.

You're going

to kiss that boy.

Come on.

(MOANING)

Okay, we're good.

(MOANING LOUDLY)

(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

Tall arms.

Tall arms.

Remember to smile, girls.

Very nice.

Focus.

Arms up. Tall.

Excellent, girls.

Smile. Focus.

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS) Cara, do try

to stay on your toes.

Let's start again.

(MOUTHS)

Shouldn't I be

sitting in my car seat?

No, no. You're good.

Hey, tell me about the big

girl who knocked you over.

That's Nicolette Peters.

She does it

a lot, actually.

She does it a lot?

Why don't you fight back?

Uh, because you

told me not to.

I what?

You said I should strive

for verbal resolution.

Uh, you know,

Daddy sometimes...

How do I...

Here's what you do.

What you do is you f***

verbal resolution, okay?

You put that whore on her

back, and you shank her.

You know how

to make a shiv?

What?

Listen to me.

If somebody comes

at you with a knife,

you put her whole

family in the morgue.

That is jailyard justice.

Because if you don't come

back hard on a b*tch,

you're going to

end up getting sold

for a pack of Camel

Lights and a Jell-O cup.

Do you understand

what I'm saying to you?

Always solve your

problems with violence.

Okay, Daddy.

Great.

Want to get

some Pinkberry?

(REGGAE MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey.

BOTH:
Hey, how did it go?

You shut up!

What happened?

We'll get into Mr.

Thumb's wild ride in a minute.

First, you're going to tell

me, how did the deal go?

Awesome.

The deal went awesome.

Good. So, it's closed?

Yeah, f***ing closed.

Basically closed.

A little bit

of a hiccup, but...

(EXCLAIMS) What do

you mean, a hiccup?

A little bit

of a hiccup.

Your f***ing boss is an anti-Semite.

Did you know that?

Oh, my God!

What did you do?

I was playing it nice and cool,

just like we talked about,

and then these goddamn

squids, these Japs,

these f***ing Kamikaze

pilots are coming at me,

riddling me with

f***ing questions.

I had to do a little improv,

and they got very emotional.

Will you just

tell me how it ended?

You're going to court.

No! F***! Oh, my God!

Your boss was

a little pissed off.

I told him it was part

of my secret master plan.

No, you didn't!

We'll work on one of those.

You tell me how my sh*t went.

Oh, your sh*t?

How'd my stuff go?

Mitch, what the hell

is wrong with you?

It was a porno movie!

It's a Iorno,

a light porn.

The dick stays

in the pants, right?

They didn't pull

it out, did they?

But my thumb went in

three girls' a**holes.

Oh, f***, get the sand

out of your vagina.

Did you finish the day?
