Trust Me Page #2

No, Janice, please,

don't do this. Hey, hey.

- What about us?

- Oh, please.

It was one drunk night

and I wish I'd been drunker.

- Janice.

- Move out of the way, Howard.

- No, don't. Please. Janice!

- I'm trying to close my door!

- Get away from my car!

- Janice!

Buddy, roll down the window.

Roll down the window, buddy.

- Oh, my God.

- Please, roll it down.

Who's going to run lines with you?

You think Aldo's going to know what to do

when you have a panic attack? Do you?

- No.

- Phillip, close that window now.

Get your hands off the button, Phillip.

You don't have to do this, man.

You can come live with me.

No, he can't. Not without that emancipation

thing from the judge he can't.

- Roll up that damn window now.

- Hey, don't you love me anymore?

Hey, look at me, you little bastard!

You're going to sell me out, at least

have the balls to look me in the eye!

- Get away from the car, you freak!

- Janice, no!

No, Janice. Wait.

Wait.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, Howard.

Oh, Howard. That was an accident.

I'm so sorry.

- We can still save this.

- You are an a**hole!

- A**hole.

- Get in the damn car, Phillip, now!

I mean it!

No, please? Really?

Come on, seriously. Please.

After four and a half years?

Please, don't do this.

Come on, Janice, please. Don't...!

Hello.

Hello?

Hold on.

Hold on.

Hello?

He... hello?

Hello?

What the...

what the f***, man?

If you ask me, you're better off.

I did this cable thing

with him last year,

we played siblings who both needed

one of Anne Archer's kidneys,

and he's okay,

but it never goes much deeper

than the audition, you know?

And I met his sister once.

She used to go out for stuff, too,

until she turned 14

and caught a bad case of the uglies.

What do you got?

It's his game thing.

Are you going to smash it

and send the pieces?

Yeah, I probably will.

Oh, my God.

You're going to give it back to him.

- No, I'm not.

- Yes, you are.

He just dumped you and you're going

to give him back his game thing?

It's not his fault. He's a good kid.

- I'm Howard.

- Lydia.

I'm sorry about messing up

your audition before.

Do you want me to talk to somebody?

Maybe I could get you another shot.

Something tells me you may not be

the best person for that job.

So it's no need. I got it.

- You got the part?

- Yeah.

They're all getting off

that you thought it was real.

Meg took the tape in to Nigel

and they offered it to me on the spot.

That's... congratulations.

- It's two scenes.

- Are you kidding me?

Brad Pitt became a superstar

off just two or three scenes

- in Thelma...

- In "Thelma & Louise." Yeah.

My mom used to say that.

- Is she... gone?

- Yeah.

I'm sorry.

It's not like she died or anything.

She just moved to Vegas

with her stoner boyfriend Kai.

Where's your dad?

He's in there trying to get validated

by that skeezy receptionist.

Or maybe he's getting

his parking ticket stamped.

- How old are you?

- 14.

Well, almost. I know, precocious.

Well, it was nice talking to you, Lydia.

Would you say that was up or down?

No idea.

I hope this is a pretty bad day for you.

You know...

- if you don't mind me asking, who's your...

- Agent? His name's Mark.

He's a sketchy coach-agent-

casting guy back in Tulsa.

- Is that where you live?

- It was.

Until Mom and Kai bolted to Vegas.

You know, you're really good.

You oughta be working

with somebody here in town.

What's this?

He's hitting on me.

- Dude!

- I was not... I wasn't hitting on you.

He thinks I need local representation.

Which I do.

You think it's okay to just walk up

and start talking to my daughter

about business behind my back?

No, I... she talked

to me, really. She...

I recognize you.

- You almost cost her the damn job back there.

- He did not. Just ignore him.

Who's talking to you?

Am I talking to you?

- You stay away from her. You understand?

- Yeah, yeah.

Come on.

Later.

I was only saying, sir,

that your daughter's very talented

and... you know, with an agent in town,

one who was a child actor

himself in such...

Hey, bro. Are you deaf?

I said, leave her alone.

- Okay, okay, okay. Sorry.

- Dad, would you stop? Stop! Cut it out!

Ignore him, he's got issues.

I do not have issues. Stop saying that.

What? He is?

Fine, put his ass on the line.

Hello, Aldo, you...

I'll hold.

Hello, Aldo, you skeevy...

Hello? Hell... Hello, Aldo, you...

Hell... hold on.

Hello, Aldo, you skeevy f***ing dirtbag.

Oh, that's much better.

Now I can hear you. Hi, Howard.

Listen to me, you Polack poacher,

you're not getting away with this.

- Not this time.

- First of all, I'm Greek-Irish,

and I don't steal your clients as much

as you seem to constantly misplace them.

You used Phillip to push

Tommy Lohan into the picture

and make me look like a douche

at the same time.

Up your meds, Howard,

you're getting paranoid.

Oh, yeah? Then how did he happen

to change his mind the minute my kid

- walked out of the room?

- This town moves fast, my friend.

I only called because I felt really bad.

What if I could nudge a Miss Amber Tuck

back into your capable hands?

No, thanks, pal. I just saw Amber.

She's got weird-looking breast buds

and a Mom-itor from hell.

Nope, I'm taking Phillip back before you

turn him into another Skylar Samms.

You'll never let that go, will you?

Let it go, pal.

Hey, is it true that you ran over

Kaylah Klopper's gerbil?

It was in her backpack. Who keeps

a gerbil in a goddamn backpack?

I hope you weren't thinking

of doing something foolish.

If I file another restraining order,

you're going to lose your license.

- Please. Do you really think I'm that stupid?

- Would you be offended if I said yes?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Rolf's a better bodyguard than a driver.

- How you doing?

- Rolf?

- What happened to Trent? You guys broke up?

- Don't be ridiculous, Howard.

- I'm a happily married man.

- Yeah, so was Mr. Brady.

- Hey, Mr. Stankis?

- Phil, big man.

Hey, Phillip. What's going on?

Remember me?

Hey, look what I got.

I got something you might remember.

What's that? That's your game thing.

Yeah, you mom told me about

your game thing. That's a bummer.

So you know what? I got the new

Nintori Ultra Super Pad.

- Won't be in stores for another month.

- It's freakin' awesome!

Freakin' awesome is right.

You ever been in a Hummer?

You did not just flip me off.

Did you just flip me off? Did you?

'Cause that is not okay, pal.

Hey, right here. Back at you. Yeah.

- Classy. Real classy.

- You know what? Kiss my ass.

You and your boyfriend both!

You goat-f***ing mick cocksucker!

Okay.

Use your cell.

She doesn't know that number.

I can't, I'm at the thing. It's closing night

and Pierce Brosnan's kid playing the roach.

I got to go.

Marcy?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Everything okay? Is that...

you have a little blood, I think.

Oh, yeah. There was a...

- What are you doing here?
