True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet Page #4

---

She's not moving!

Can somebody go get somebody?

( men and women shouting )

Marissa:

Somebody go call 911 now!

( shouting continuing )

( siren wailing on TV )

She's not breathing.

She's not-

somebody do something!

Morgan didn't die that night,

and while reports claim

that Morgan's been released

from rehab,

she's all but disappeared...

How long was

she in rehab for, a day?

Devon:
So where in the world

is Morgan Carter

and who will be

the next to fall?

- Up next, celebrity-

- ( turns TV off )

She's having a rough time

in schooI. New girI.

New girI's the worst.

- ( rings )

- Sam on voicemaiI: It's Sam.

- You know what to do.

- ( beeps )

Sam- Sam, it's me.

Listen, I really need

to talk to you.

I just saw-

listen, I understand

why you sent me here,

and you've guided me through

every step of my career,

but this is really

not working at all.

Can you call me, please?

Just call me.

- ( beeps )

- ( knocks on door )

He wasn't there?

Sam was the first person I saw

when I woke up in the hospitaI.

He's the only reason I'm alive.

What about your mom?

Bianca?

Bianca's... whatever.

She's not always around.

At first she was

when I was really little,

but then she hired people for that

and started dating... a lot...

and traveling and...

stuff.

What was my mom like before?

I have a really hard time

picturing you two as friends.

Hang on.

We were the popular girls.

We ruled high schooI

with our big hair

and shoulder pads.

Your mom dated everyone,

but I just dated the quarterback.

I was so in love with him.

Aw. So what happened?

He got a scholarship

to Florida State,

so I followed him.

I was pre-med.

- You were gonna be a doctor?

- Yeah, hard to believe, huh?

Now the closest I get

is watching "Grey's Anatomy. "

Anyway, he blew out his knee

and the only job he could find

was as a high schooI coach

up here in Fort Wayne,

so I quit college

and came with him.

That's not a very good story.

Nope.

Meanwhile, your mom was traveling

the country, winning pageants.

- Right, the pageant queen.

- Mm-hmm.

She thought it was

her ticket to Hollywood,

- that she would become-

- Me.

Yeah.

She was on "GeneraI HospitaI"

playing a nurse for, like, a week,

and that's when she met

the sperm donor.

I don't think she even

got my dad's reaI name.

Listen, honey,

your mom was confused

for a long time,

but I really do think

she's trying to sort it all out now.

Maybe.

You okay?

Yeah.

I gotta make

a nacho refresher.

No, good. You should.

( beeping )

( rings )

Bianca's voice:
This is Bianca.

You know what to do.

- ( beeps )

- Hey, Mom.

It's me your daughter.

I just wanted to call, check-in

and I wanted to say that I...

( beeps )

...miss you.

( gasps ) Ah!

Damn! Why didn't you wake me?

I'm gonna be late.

If I'm late again, they're gonna

make me scrub gum off the concrete.

- Claudia!

- What?

It's Saturday.

Oh.

I can get two sweaters for $40?

What's the catch?

There's no catch.

The miracle of discount shopping.

I can see why Martha Stewart

loves this place.

- Yeah.

- Wow.

Ooh!

Hey, this shirt is perfect for you.

I don't think so.

I do.

Chest advertising is a great way

to meet really nice guys.

And that way you can start spending

less time with plant materiaI.

Well, thank you. No.

Thank you, yes.

I called Sam five times and he didn't

call me back. Is he mad at me?

I think he's just trying

to give you your space,

- let you make your own decisions.

- Did he say that?

I haven't spoken to either of them

since your mom sent me the money.

Morgan:

What is this?

This has nothing

to do with a bomb.

There's not even a bomb

in this movie.

They totally changed

the ad for the DVD.

This looks like "Mean Girls"

meets "Die Hard. "

( panting )

Everything I worked for,

everything is gone.

It's just a movie, come on.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

( panting )

You're gonna start hyperventilating.

Here, here. Breathe into this.

- ( breathing )

- Breathe.

Morgan:

So there you have it.

Right in the middle

of aisle five,

a discount breakdown.

( Sappey vocalizing )

For some of you,

I don't think that we are

in Kansas anymore.

Ouch.

Let me give you a piece

of advice, Claudia.

You have to figure out

what he wants to hear

and then give it to him.

You clearly don't have

a clue about film.

New essay topic, people:

The difference

between movies and film.

I really thought it was

the one class I would do well in.

I'm failing geometry and chemistry,

but film class? He hates me.

Hey, Eli, you coming?

- No, go on ahead. It's cooI.

- Okay.

You know, this is pretty good.

You just need some

supporting statements, like-

quote Richard SchickeI.

Sappey'II love it.

Yeah, SchickeI.

Good idea.

- You know who SchickeI is?

- Yeah, "Time" magazine,

one of the nation's

most influentiaI film critics.

I'm only partly hopeless.

All right, then you know

if he gives you a bad grade,

you know it's personaI.

If you want me to boost you

in geometry and chemistry, that's cooI.

Boost me?

You hardly know me?

- Tutor you.

- Oh, okay.

See, I'm hopeless,

but no, yeah, that sounds good.

- All right. See ya.

- Bye.

( woman blows whistle ) Okay, ladies,

we're gonna run the practice drill.

So what's up with the blue

and gold everywhere?

SchooI colors.

I'm loving the shorts,

by the way.

These are improved. You should have

seen the ones that went below the knee.

Sexy.

I hear they buy

the shorts the same place

you get your jeans, actually.

Is that right next to the Bargain Cuts

where you get your hair bleached?

( girls laughing )

( woman blows whistle )

Okay, let's take your positions.

Emily's team- digs and returns.

Julie's team- sets and spikes.

Morgan:
Spike? The only thing

I know how to spike is a drink.

- ( blows whistle )

- Here we go, girls!

Morgan:
I just have to remind myself

I'm Morgan Carter,

the second-youngest actress

ever nominated

for an Academy Award.

- Nice setup!

- Go for it!

( grunts )

( gasping )

- Mother-

- ( blows whistle )

You b*tch! You b*tch! You b*tch!

What the-

( blowing whistle )

It hurts. What the-

you dumb b*tch!

- Red card? How does that-

- Miller, to the principaI's office now.

I've gotten severaI reports

about you over the past two weeks,

none of them positive.

Four tardies, low grades

and now this outburst.

Ms. Miller- Claudia...

your job right now

is to be on time,

study hard

and discover your speciaI skill, hmm?

Morgan:

My skill is acting,

like right now.

If you don't pull up your averages,

you'll faiI your senior year.

- FaiI?

- You need to start applying yourself

and cease with the outbursts.

I'd like to hear it from you.

No more outbursts...

even if someone is trying

to maim me with a volleyball.

( screams )

Lindsay got the Soderbergh film?

That's impossible!

Sorry.

I can't believe it.

I'm washed up at 17.

- Claudia, talking to yourself?

- Oh my God.

You bipolar or just
