The Witches of Oz Page #2

OK, let me know

how your place is.

Right.

Gosh.

The drinks at this restaurant

cost more than anything I own.

All right, what shoes?

What do you think?

Brown. OK.

Pretty, pretty.

What is it?

Can't you see we're busy?

Apologies, your Highness.

I have an urgent message...

from Her!

I'll just be a minute.

You're looking

fabulous, by the way.

Where is it?

Oh, pretty colors.

Pack my things.

We're going to a huge,

magical place.

A land of wonder

and mystery.

A place where men roam

free and darkness rules.

But we just unpacked

all your stuff.

Any more bright ideas?

N- no.

Good.

We leave tonight.

Yes.

Sorry I'm late.

It took forever to hail a cab.

That's OK. They said even with

reservations it's an hour wait.

Please.

Westbrook. Party of two.

Miss Westbrook.

I had no idea.

Right this way.

He's cute.

Not as cute as that guy at the bar.

- Billie!

- Oh, he's not bad.

- Did you catch the Ferragamos?

- The who?

The shoes.

Excuse us, excuse us.

Here we are.

Martini, dry, two olives.

Your waiter will be around

to take the order.

Oh, and no water.

Bottled or tap.

Last time I was here, the busboy

almost spilled it on my $1200 purse.

Why drink water

when you can have vodka?

- No, look at me, I'm talking to you.

- Oh.

- Do not be rude.

- I wasn't.

- No, you were.

- I didn't think so.

You were.

Hey, Dorothy,

now's your chance.

Yes, you are. And I think you should apologize.

You've been talking

for a long time.

- Oh, no I haven't.

- It feels long.

Oh, you're rude.

He's not following her.

What do I say?

I've never just

walked up to a guy.

You say, "Hi, I'm Dorothy.

" That's it. Pressure's all on him.

I don't want

to appear desperate.

I am kind of desperate.

No, no. You're just-

You're just new in town.

You need to meet some new

friends, meet some people.

Especially friends

who wear Armani.

If it makes you feel any better,

pretend you recognize him.

- That works?

- All the time.

- Go.

- OK.

I... think

I know you.

- Excuse me?

- I...

- ...do know you.

- Really?

Yeah,I do.

At first, I thought it was

a cheesy pick up line.

Not that I'm trying to pick you up,

'cause that sounds really sleazy.

- Ah, hello.

- Hello

Thank you.

Anyway, when you looked at

me I realized I do know you.

- I just can't figure out how.

- Really?

- Thanks.

- Let me grab your change.

- No, that's fine.

- But it's a hundred.

Yeah, I know.

You don't ring a bell.

Take care.

Hi, I'm Dorothy Gale.

What kind of

guy just shoots down

a cute girl like that?

- it's beyond me.

- Yeah.

I'm... cute, right?

- The cutest.

- Thank you.

You know, I couldn't have made this

move out here without your help.

I knew we'd make

a great team

the moment I read

your first book.

Trust me on that.

You know, this city gets lonely.

If you ever need anything,

just give me a call. OK?

- Mm-hm.

- Now get up there and finish the last book.

- The ending is always the toughest part.

- Oh, it should be easy.

It's a classic story.

Good defeats evil.

The way the world should be.

Instead of the way it...

sometimes is.

Dorothy, sweet girl, that's

what makes you so special.

All right,

have a good night, OK?

Good night.

Where to?

That's a nice neighborhood.

I need a ride,

not a conversation.

You're the boss, sweetie.

Help! Help!

Are you OK?

He took my...

he took my purse!

That's OK, it's just a purse.

it's all right. You OK?

I'm... fine.

I think I'm OK.

- Hey, you're the...

- I'm Nick. My name is Nick.

I was gonna say you're

the jerk from the bar.

Yeah, I know. But I just

saved your life, so...

...can we call it even?

- OK.

- Good.

What're you

doing here?

I just live

two doors down.

It's a coincidence, eh?

Maybe.

Maybe?

Would you like

to go out some time?

- Maybe we could get a coffee or a...

- Yes.

I haven't finished

the options.

I didn't need

to hear them.

OK.

Give me a call.

I will.

Well, I'll stand guard

while you go in.

Make sure you get in safe.

Thank you.

Uh, wait.

I didn't get your name.

Dorothy. Dorothy Gale.

Good night, Dorothy Gale.

This definitely

ain't Kansas, Toto.

Dorothy, you

forgot something.

Here, come on. Ow!

Quiet!

I can hear-

Hold on to the dog.

Forget about

the dog. Keep going.

- Forget about the dog?

Are you kidding me? -Shh!

You're a good dog.

You're a good dog.

Just wait until they're both

asleep and try this again.

Toto!

It's early.

"Dorothy

set out on a newjourney. "

"Dorothy..."

"Dorothy... "

No, it's

not a new journey.

"Dorothy hid the key

in the land of the Gilikins. "

No, why would she do that?

"Dorothy... Dorothy... "

What is wrong with me?

Why can 'I I do this?

Is it the traffic?

The traffic's so loud.

"Dorothy knew w that the Wicked

Witch would fry to follow her. "

How would she know that?

Oh, shoot!

Billie, are you sure

I can't finish?

I mean, aren't Hollywood

people always late?

I mean, isn't there even a

phrase called "Hollywood time"?

There is, they are.

We aren't.

That's why we win.

- 53rd and 5th.

- What's in the bags?

I took the liberty

of picking out something

a tad more appropriate

for today's meeting.

- I dressed up today.

- I know, dear.

Here, put this on.

Oh, don't worry,

he's a professional.

Good afternoon.

The LA office called.

It's a pass

on the sponsorship deal.

Fine. We just need

to nail this meeting.

Simon also called.

Ms. Lang wants

to meet at her place.

Oh, actresses.

I hate not being on home turf. Where?

- Central Park West.

- Fine.

Reservations for dinner

are set. Gilikins at seven.

If all goes well.

Good morning, everyone.

How are we today?

- Great!

- Good, good, good, good...

- Do you have those release forms?

- They're done.

- I need the forms.

- I have them. I've got two of those.

- You've been on it for two weeks.

- You won't believe it.

Oh, Amy, I'm tired of cabs.

Bring the car around.

Done. Oh, and Dorothy,

I read the latest manuscript last night.

it was brilliant.

Well, thank you, Amy.

Ass-kissing alert.

She can't fire you. I can.

Looking great

today, Billie.

Better.

- Hello?

- The release forms...

Dorothy, I'm sorry to

call your mobile phone.

Cell phones, Uncle Henry.

What's going on?

That SOB from the bank,

he sent a realtor

over here with more people.

- I've got three of those.

- Sorry, you're breaking up.

The SOB from the bank,

he sent another realtor

over here with more people.

Quiet.

Be sure to show them

that weak part

of the floor upstairs.

And the downstairs bathroom.

Yeah, and I'm fine,

Uncle Henry.

We have this big meeting and

hopefully this will be it.

- Hi.

- Billie's really great

and we 're meeting this

Hollywood actress today.

She wants to be in our movie.

Isn't that amazing?

I believe in you, Dorothy.

I love you, Uncle Henry.

I love you.

Bye.

The house has been in foreclosure

for about six months.

- You seen my cat?

- No.

Can you tell me

what used to be out there?
