Women In Trouble Page #2

Synopsis: Several women (and one girl) in L.A. are hiding something from someone else, or discovering something hidden from them. Maxine, a therapist, discovers her husband cheating on her with the mother of Charlotte, a 13-year old patient. Addy (the other woman) and her sister Doris have withheld from the girl the truth of her parentage. Holly, an adult film actor, isn't telling her friend Bambi how she feels about her, and another actor, Elektra, who discovers she's pregnant, hasn't told the baby's father that she loves him. A stuck elevator, a car crash, mid-air turbulence, a flight attendant, a shotgun-wielding bartender, and her roommate, who's a masseuse, help these women communicate.

- This is a big deal for her.

She's never done anything

like this before.

- Stop it.

- She's following

your own advice

of acting irresponsible

and letting loose

for once in her life.

- Your mom tells you

what we discuss in her sessions?

- l read her diary.

Please don't be mad at me.

- Why are you doing this?

- l don't want

to be doing anything,

but it's the truth.

She drops me off

then parks down the block

and spends 50 minutes

with Mr. McPherson.

You're basically the world's

most overqualified babysitter.

- l need to use the restroom.

l'll be right back.

- l'm so sorry, Maxine.

- Hey, honey.

- Hey, what's up?

- Nothing.

You?

- Nothing.

- l was just on my way

to the bathroom

and thought l'd stop by

and say hi.

- Oh, okay.

Well, hi.

We still on for dinner tonight?

- You bet.

- Okay.

- Jesus f***ing Paul and Mary.

- lt's okay.

Nothing happened.

- What are you, f***ing high?

She knows.

- She doesn't know.

Nothing happened.

- Nothing happened?

- Did you make the reservations,

or was l supposed to?

- Oh, l'll take care of it.

- You're on the other side

of this door, aren't you, Addy?

Please don't make me ask again.

- Honey, let me explain.

- Who are you supposed to be?

- Bambi, it's me, Holly.

l mean what are you wearing?

- l was at the gym

when you called,

but l brought a change

of clothing.

- Okay, l'll tell him to wait.

There's a bathroom upstairs.

- What does this guy do?

- He's a retired movie producer.

- Wait, how old?

- Not too old.

Don't worry.

He made a bunch of money

selling stocks.

- Jeez, how many stocks

did he sell?

- Never mind that.

Go wash up,

and don't touch anything.

- l won't.

- He wants to mix it up,

so l told him

my little sister

is a real peach.

- Oh, l bet he liked that.

- He loved that.

Men and peaches.

So you get him started,

then l'll come in and join you.

- Okay, l got it.

He wants a sister act.

- Bells, whistles.

- The whole nine yards.

- l told him we've joined

each other in bed before

but never actually dared

to do anything incestuous.

- And what did he say?

- He wondered

if we'd be open to it.

- So he's not a cop?

- How do you mean?

- Mentioning

the whole incest thing

proves he's not a cop.

- Of course he's not a cop.

He's a regular customer of mine.

- Okay, sorry.

Go on.

Then what did he say?

- So l said,

"Under the right circumstances,

with the right guy,"

wink, wink.

- Okay.

Well, if...

- What?

- Well, okay-no, no.

- No what?

- What if he wants details?

- Details?

- About us growing up.

- Give him details.

- Make them up?

- But keep it simple.

He's a regular customer.

- Simple.

Got it.

- Don't bend over backwards.

- Don't bend over

backwards?

- With some tale.

Don't bend over backwards

with some tale

l'll have to remember

every time.

- Got it.

l thought you meant literally.

- You're overthinking this.

- l know.

Sometimes l do that.

My brain just...

- l know.

That's why l'm telling you.

- lt only happens

when l get nervous.

- What are you nervous about?

- l don't know,

l'm-

l'm not.

Nothing.

- You're not still

beating yourself up

over the p*ssy-eating?

- No.

- Good.

'Cause this is me, babe.

Don't sweat it.

- l am good to go.

l swear.

- You are a sexual volcano.

That's why l called you.

- Hmm, l appreciate that,

and l won't let you down.

l'm just a little sore.

- You shot today?

- Yeah, just one scene

but, still, Jimmy Cojones.

- Oh, you poor thing.

- He's not that bad.

- Yeah, if you got all day.

- Oh, and he makes those faces.

- And the coffee breath.

- Oh, there's that.

- And then you went to the gym?

- l still got four more pounds

to go.

- Where?

You look great.

- Thanks.

Well, Lionel's 20 minutes tops.

ln and out.

Nobody gets hurt.

- Great.

What's his name?

- Lionel.

- ls he black?

- No.

- lt's not a problem if he is.

l just never met

a white Lionel before.

- He's white-ish.

But don't call him Lionel.

l call him Lionel, but he wants

you to call him Patron.

- Like the tequila.

- lt means "boss" in Spanish.

- Patron.

Okay.

Anything else l should know?

- He likes it up the butt.

- Whose butt?

- Mine.

Whose butt are we talking about?

- l don't know.

l thought maybe his.

- How is he gonna stick his dick

up his own butt?

- Right.

l just thought maybe-

- You know how they say,

"lt's not rocket science"?

That would be rocket science.

- He pays you extra for it,

l hope.

- A lot extra.

- Not enough for me.

- My, my.

Aren't you the elegant

dick licker all of a sudden?

- Some things are off-limits

is all.

- Not with George Katz

it wasn't.

- That was a matter

of birth control.

- You were being responsible.

- lt always comes back

to George.

- l was just talking.

- You know, a human person

can only apologize so much.

- ls that a fact?

- You know, if he's so crazy

about you,

how come he asked me

to give him a blow job

every time you left the room?

- You could have said no.

- l was in an awkward position.

l mean, the way he looked at me,

it was just different

than other guys.

- Different?

- Yeah, like every time he came

in the room,

l could feel him

mentally undressing me

with his eyes.

- Holly, we were working

in a strip club.

- lt's hard to explain.

- So l gather.

- That was what,

two, three years ago?

lf you still love him, call him.

- He's in prison.

- Then why are we

still discussing this?

- Look, forget l brought it up.

- l mean, do you want

to spend every weekend

talking through

the glass phone thingy?

- What the f*** was that?

- lt sounded

like glass breaking.

Now it sounds like men's voices.

- Shh.

- l don't have it.

- You don't have it?

Gee, l never heard that before.

You heard that one before, Rico?

When you borrow something

and refuse to pay back...

- Please don't hurt me!

- Hurt you?

We're not gonna hurt you, Marco.

We're gonna smash

your f***ing head in.

- Please don't hurt me!

- Ow!

Ow.

- Come on.

We don't have time for this.

- Oh, my God.

l didn't even see her.

- lt's nothing, really.

- ls she gonna be all right?

- She's fine.

This happens to her

all the time.

- Really?

- Yeah, really.

She's blind as a bat.

- But she needs a hospital.

- Oh, don't be silly.

Maybe you can just drop us

down the block.

- Down the block?

- Yeah, wherever you're going.

We're easy.

- l'm-l'm going to a bar.

- Great idea.

- Maxine, wait.

Let me explain.

- l found l wasn't to blame

l discovered

that it had to be you

- Will your wife be wanting

anything else?

- She's not my wife,

and you know it.

- l don't know it.

How would l know that?

- You play innocent

remarkably well.

Are you an actress?

- Does it look like

l'm an actress?

- Oh, yes, it looks like

you're an actress.

l thought maybe

you were doing research

for a part

playing a flight attendant.

Now, l watch mostly old films

on tour,

and you could be

a ridiculously famous movie star
