This Girl's Life Page #2

Right now?

No, no. Look. I'll leave it here.

Take a few days.

- Can I get you anything else?

- No. I'm good.

Can I just have my five

minutes now?

- Thank you.

- Have fun.

I don't know if it's quiet

time or psyche time,

but for me, I always need

five minutes to get myself into it.

Get myself in the zone before

I do a scene.

No matter how many times I do it,

it always feels like

the first time.

You know what I mean?

Just before...

You know? It's like...

that moment right before you

dive into a pool.

It's that... fear mixed

with adrenaline.

You always think

the water is gonna be so cold,

but once you're in, you forget

what it was like to be out.

Hi, Moon.

- Can I come in?

- Hey. Yeah.

That executive director guy,

he wanted me to give you this.

- My certificate of health.

- Oh, yeah.

I just had the test last week,

right there.

- See? There's the date.

- Nice. Perfect.

Thank you.

For what?

For the certificate.

Oh, right. Right.

I'm sorry. Uh, I guess

I'm just a little bit nervous here.

This is actually my first time,

um, doing it on camera.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

You know what? Just relax.

Realize that it's like the first

time you've been with any girl.

Just shut everything else off,

and then it's just you and me.

Wow. But what about

the thousands of people

that are gonna be staring at us?

Yeah, and them.

Can they see us in here right now?

Oh, yeah. They're everywhere.

They're even in the bathrooms.

It's very, you know, Truman Show.

So, what does that mean if

I can't get hard?

Then thousands of people

will know about it.

It's no big deal.

Okay. I'm not gonna think about that.

Oh, my God.

I'm gonna take care of you,

and you're gonna do fine. Okay?

- Okay. All right.

- You'll do great.

I feel better now. Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I know what you're thinking.

What's a girl like me doing

a job like this for?

"Doesn't she know she doesn't

need to be doing this?

"What's wrong with her?

Is she on drugs?

Doesn't she know she doesn't

need to be doing this?"

Sorry, but that really

does feel good.

I don't think of myself

as a slut,

although I know a lot

of you are judging me now.

Someone said to me a long

time ago,

"Find something in life that

you love to do,

"and make that your

line of work.

'Cause then it doesn't

feel like work to you."

Well, when I'm having sex,

I honestly don't find myself

staring at the clock thinking,

"When is 5:
00 coming?"

Although... I might be coming

at 5:
00.

You know, I used to be

really shy when I was a kid.

Hardly talked to people when

I was young.

I just wanted to be in nature,

alone.

And by the way, no,

I'm not a drug addict.

And no, I've never been abused

when I was...

nine or 13 by my father, uncle,

or minister.

Back in high school,

if you were a girl,

you slept with a lot of guys,

you were labeled a slut.

If you were a guy and you bedded

a lot of girls, you were a stud.

In my world, I was a female stud.

Oh!

How was that for you?

Hi, Kiska.

I thought you'd never come home.

Oh, I know.

I want to fix you a scrumptious

dinner.

How was work, Kiska?

It was good, Dad.

I've told him many times

what I do, but he insists on a vet.

Were the animals misbehaving?

The animals were behaving fine.

My Dad calls me Kiska.

It's what he called my mom.

They were very in love.

He kinda... had a breakdown

after she died.

He's got Parkinson's.

You know the crazy thing about

Parkinson's,

is that it's tailor-made

for each person?

His is pretty severe, though.

Sometimes, his memory's

real clear.

And other times, his memory's

just gone.

He gets disoriented and thinks

I'm Mom.

Maybe he just sees her in me.

Hey.

Hey. I'm goin' out tonight,

Pops.

I have a date.

Oh.

I remember the first date

I went on with your mother.

She was painfully beautiful.

I know. Here.

I don't forget nothin'.

I don't forget nothin',

'cause...

When I was 21,

I went to Egypt and Israel.

- Uh-huh.

- Mm-hmm.

I wanted to see where

Jesus walked on the water.

And, after 12 hours,

I got off the bus and...

there was an old fisherman

standing there, and I said,

"Is this where Jesus walked

on the water?"

He said, "Yeah.

Jesus was a fisherman."

Uh-huh.

"You smoke hashish?"

And I... smoked.

You did? You smoked hashish?

Yeah. My bladder was full, so

I went to make behind a bush,

and when I got out, I saw the

old... fisherman...

standing on the water.

Standing on the Goddamn water.

And, I thought, "Wow.

This is good hash."

So... I...

He was standing on the edge

of the lake.

He walked over to me

and he said,

"Come walk with me," and I said,

"I don't walk on the water."

And he said, "Look.

Put your foot right here."

And I dipped my toe in the water

and it felt solid and I...

I thought, "What?" And he

said, "It's rock right under

the surface of the water, but

it's so dark you can't see it."

And these rocks extend...

60 feet out into the lake.

All the fisherman go out there

to catch the fish,

because that's where

the best fish are.

They've been doing it

for centuries.

So, we walked out to the middle

of the lake,

and he said, "You see?

Around here...

everybody walks on water."

I walked on the water.

Now, look at me.

Can't tie my own shoes.

I love you. You know that.

I love you, Kiska.

Sometimes I'm not sure

what to wear on a date.

Especially a first date.

Ha. Even more so, a blind date.

This one, Jessie set me up on.

I'm not sure she told him

what I do.

You know, that I'm-I'm a porn

star.

I know it shouldn't matter,

but it kind of does. You know?

You know, you look familiar.

- Yeah.

- Have I seen you before?

Like I give you a ride

before, maybe?

No. I don't think so.

You in, uh, movies? TV?

Not technically.

Sorry.

Oh, sh*t!

Y-Y-You're...

You're the porn star.

Um, Moonrise. Right?

Yeah.

I knew I seen you before.

You are much more sexy

in real life.

I'm not paying you

false compliments.

My wife and I have watched you.

And... I remember her telling

me that, out of all the girls,

you are the most beautiful,

classy one.

Thanks. Tell her thanks, too.

Oh, I will. She'll be

so excited.

No, no. Not like that.

Well, maybe like that.

I should be so lucky.

This was, uh, my mom's choker.

It's for good luck.

Apparently, he's, uh, cooking

dinner for me at his house.

You know, I think it's sexy

when a man cooks.

Just like I think it's sexy

when a woman chops wood.

As long as it's not your wood.

Right?

All right. Here we go.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm kip.

Hi. I'm, uh... I'm Moon.

It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Sure.

Here you go.

Wow. Food looks great.

Thank you for taking

the time to cook.

It's so much better than

going out to a restaurant.

When someone cooks, they put

a part of themselves in it.

Their energy. Their flavor.

Well, I hope you like my flavor.

I'm sure I will.

I like to lay all my cards

on the table right

away.

I'm 27 years old.

I'm currently studying
