Trust Me Page #6

- If you had a set of nuts,

you and me would be

stepping outside right about now.

- Now wait a minute. Hey.

- Come on.

Oh, my God. That was amazing.

Wasn't he amazing?

- Yeah.

- You were freakin' amazing, Ray.

Now I need you to hit that button

so they know we're for real.

You got to do it, Ray. Okay, I'll do it.

You hit that button and I am definitely

breaking your hand.

What's going on, Dad?

Howard is trying to blow this

for you, baby.

Nobody's blowing anything. I just need you

to stick with me for a few more minutes.

- It's a lead, Howard.

- I know it is, sweetie.

It's three of them, so we need

to make sure you get paid

more than they make off

your action figure the first weekend.

What if you're wrong?

Did you ever think about that?

We can get this. I know it.

Do it and we're going back in there

without you, Howard.

Fine.

But if they had a star that could do this,

they would've hired her by now.

So if you fold here,

you'll spend the rest of your life

watching T-shirts go by

from the movie you got screwed on.

So I'd say it's worth another 30 seconds

of your time to play this out.

Count, baby.

One, two...

I need you to walk

into the elevator now, Ray.

- Lyd...?

- 27, 28, 29, 30.

- Sorry, Howard.

- Guys?

Guys, guys, this is crazy.

Come on out of there.

This guy, Mr. Clank-Clank...

okay, I'll go your two points.

With the successive one-point bump?

With the bump. Now come inside, please.

We got a movie to make, people.

- Come on.

- Yeah, we do.

Help!

Dieter Films.

Yes, he is. Howard, it's for you.

- Me?

- Yeah.

- Who is it?

- They didn't say.

Okay.

There's an empty office. Second one

on the right. You can take it in there.

Oh, okay.

Wait here. I'll be right back.

- This is Howard.

- Hey, Howard.

- What up, "Stankass"?

- Looks like you finally hooked a big one.

How would you like to come on as junior

partner here at the Stankis group?

Junior partner?

That's tempting.

And it'd be nice to see

all my old clients again.

And I'd truly enjoy watching you

try to steal Lydia all day long.

But all the same, I'm going to have

to say... no, thanks, Stankis,

- you backstabbing ass bandit.

- Reall...

Ray?

- Get out of my way.

- Have a seat, Howard.

Call security.

Oh, you scumbag. You're in on this, too.

- Try to calm down, Howard.

- You think I should calm down?

- Yeah. What are you going to do?

- Do you think I...

Okay, that's enough.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

He's having a seizure.

Get Agnes!

Howard, no!

Howard, I got the part.

That's so great, honey.

That's such great news.

You just missed Ang and Sir Ben.

What's going on?

Aldo wanted to meet Lydia

and Ray thought it was a good idea, so...

So that's where the truck

came from, Ray?

We had a drink last night.

It was just there this morning

when I woke up.

How 'bout that?

Howard, nothing personal,

but Lydia's a rare talent.

Ray just wants to make sure that

she's represented by somebody

- who can nurture that talent.

- That's your pitch?

"Aldo the Nurturer"?

I wonder how Tess Lipnicki

would feel about that.

I guess we can ask her when she gets

out of jail for stabbing her pimp.

- He's making that up.

- Google it.

Tell them about Skylar Samms.

- We're not talking about me.

- Well, maybe we should be.

I signed her when she was seven.

At 14, she books a movie

so Aldo steals her.

I tried to talk her,

he gets a restraining order.

- Eight months later, she hung herself.

- Tell them the rest.

When the movie tanked,

Skylar couldn't get arrested

so she calls Howard

and begs him to take her back.

But Howard's new girl Amber Tuck,

says she'll walk if he does.

So Howard hangs up on poor Skylar.

A week later she was dead.

I've heard enough. Howard, I'm sorry.

You don't deserve

to be treated like this.

Come on, let's go.

Wait just a goddamn minute.

- Give me the keys.

- Look, baby, I know you like Howard.

Hell, I like him too,

but he can't protect you like Aldo can.

Give me the keys.

I'm sorry, Mr. Aldo.

My daddy means well, but this is

my decision. And I'm happy with Howard.

Honey, don't...

It was really great meeting you

and I'm so excited about the movie.

But you having fittings

and makeup tests all day.

I guess you better talk to my agent.

Honey...?

Aldo, will you excuse us?

You can't be serious.

Meg, you do this and I'm going to pull

the Lohan kid out of "Play Date."

Do what you got to do.

Justin will validate your parking.

For this guy?

He's a f***ing punchline.

Okay, dick move. My bad.

But we have 2,000 screaming kids

showing up at Grauman's Chinese

on Friday night to meet

our new "Sophia."

So what do you say, Howard?

We're all grownups here.

What's it going to take

to put this behind us?

Well, for starters...

I'd love an iced macchiato.

- Thanks, Meg.

- Yeah.

"Co-associate producer." It's crazy, right?

I guess Ang really liked my script notes.

Which is...

It's... we got one of those

big blenders. I'm on a juice cleanse.

Don't. Do not...

Put me down!

Are you finished?

Get your hands off of me.

This is all incoming headshots.

That's right.

It's because we're back, baby.

As soon as we get a few checks in,

you're going back on full salary.

With a slight raise, I'm thinking.

We'll talk.

Where you going?

I got a... I got a thing I got to do.

It is, like, a quarter to 4:00

and you got, like, 300 messages.

- I'll see you later.

- Howard, what thing?

Howard?

May I help you?

Hi, yeah. I was looking for Marcy.

Marcy who?

She works here. She's... there she is.

- She's right over there.

- Who are you?

I'm Howard. I'm her friend.

I'm a friend of hers.

She's working right now.

Is that your car?

- No. It's not.

- I saw you get out of it.

Oh, that one? Yeah, that's mine.

You looking to buy?

I am, actually, yeah.

But I really came to talk to Marcy.

- Do you like her?

- Yeah, sure, I like her.

Frankly, you're not really her type.

- Why, what's her type?

- Gangsters, man. Stone-cold killers.

Come on. Really?

Ignore him. He's a child.

I don't know, Marce, I think I saw him

on that "Most Wanted" show.

Thank you, Gary.

How'd it go?

What? She got it? Oh, my God!

Howard, I'm so happy for you.

We have to celebrate.

- Can you get free for dinner?

- No. Yeah, I can.

- I'll pick you up at 7:00?

- Oh, you'll pick me up?

Well, because, is that your car?

Maybe it's time we get you

something that's a little more...

appropriate for a man of your stature.

- Oh, you sell a lot of these, don't you?

- I do pretty well.

Oh, hold on. I just...

This is Lydia's dad. He wants

to go over the contracts with me.

So could I meet you at the place?

- Hop Louie, 7:
00?

- Sounds great. Could...

Yes.

Hello?

Lydia? Ray?

- Oh, hey, Howard.

- Hey.

Howard's here. What's up?

I'm... I've got some contract stuff

to go over with your dad.

Oh, Howard, you didn't have to do that.

They need these signed

before she starts tomorrow.

- Well, you drove all the way out here.
