Woo!

Okay.

My glasses are foggy.

Did I f*** your glasses off?

You know, the problem

with having sex at lunch

is there's no time to eat.

So now I have to have my

lunch on my coffee break

and coffee at dinner.

You have f***ed my entire day.

Wanna do it again?

No.

Because then I would have to

have coffee as tomorrow's

breakfast, but you know me.

I don't complain.

No, I have to work.

Dedicated professional

that you are.

What's this?

That's just a doodle.

Wow, looks good.

Oh! It's you.

You know, you really

don't need those, right?

You're not that kind of girl.

What does that mean?

Nothing.

It was meant as a compliment.

I happen to love your small...

Small-ish breasts.

They're nonthreatening.

They're like my friends.

You know what I'm saying.

This girl...

Would go out with some slick,

Hollywood player dude.

This girl would never

have sex with me.

And now you're not going

to either, are you?

Sh*t.

I'm gonna stop talking

now and leave.

Yeah, that would be good.

Mhm.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Hello?

I'm sorry, I couldn't

find the reception.

Uh, there is no reception.

Can I help you?

I just wanted to know

how they were made.

The dolls.

Uh, I'm sorry.

We don't give tours

of the factory.

Oh.

Excuse me.

I was thinking of

placing a custom order.

Something very specific.

I can pay.

Please, I live across the

border and it's been a

very long drive.

Okay.

Okay.

They're all custom made.

We have a variety of body types.

Something for all tastes.

You just supply the height

and measurements, eye color,

hair, skin tone with fair,

tanned, Asian, African.

You can get them to

replicate celebrities.

Scarlett Johansson and Beyonce

are very popular right now.

Here's one of our latest models.

Uh, the talkies as we call them.

Emma rocks my rocket.

You idiot.

May I touch it?

I'm not interested

in a celebrity doll.

I want you to make someone real.

My wife, she had the

most perfect body.

Slender, 5'8" with

very large breasts.

36dd.

They haunt me.

It was those breasts

that I couldn't forget.

Those massive breasts.

I lost her two years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

To her personal trainer,

Italian, fifteen years

younger than me.

Can you make these even larger

than what she originally had?

Yeah, sure.

Perfect.

And you can make her look

exactly like my wife?

We can make it...

Her look identical.

But better.

Um...

Uh, what's her name?

Michelle.

Michelle.

Michelle, you're

not on your mark.

Okay, just a little to the left.

Uh, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Don't smile, okay?

No expression.

I don't wanna

photograph Michelle.

I wanna see who you really are.

Don't, don't struggle with it.

You know, just let

Michelle fly away because

I still see her in there.

Yes!

There, there!

She's gone!

You are all women.

And you are no women.

You are everything

and you are nothing.

More nothing.

More nothing!

You're not that kind of girl.

He's right you know.

Maybe I'm not this type

of girl, but you're

definitely not this type of guy.

So who is he?

I mean, your sketches are

amazing, but what are you

trying to do with this guy?

This guy is my dream man.

He's perfect, he's hot

and stylish, suave.

He's my size.

Okay, I get it.

This is about me, right?

This is because I called

your tits my friends.

This has nothing to do with you.

Oh yeah?

Mhm.

Well, your perfect

guy is totally boring.

He has no personality.

He's like this tiny,

little, generic suave guy.

No, no.

He's an artist.

He's smart and he has an accent.

- What, French?

- No.

- Spanish.

- Oh.

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear it I

guess because it's a drawing.

You are being hilariously

defensive about this.

Hey, you can fantasize all

you want, that's fine.

But I'd just like to

bring up one point.

That guy would

never be with you.

Have you thought of that?

That guy would be with

someone who looks like that.

Okay, that's fine.

You have your fun.

I am gonna deliver one of

these perfect people to a

fat pervert in Hamilton.

Careful. It's easy

to get hypnotized.

I was lost there for a second.

They all look identical,

but really they're not.

They're like ghosts.

Individual spirits

floating through the void.

I find it soothing.

Yeah.

I come here every day.

So do I.

Do you think they know

they live in a prison?

We'll never know.

They don't speak.

They live in silence.

Let us sculpt in

hopeless silence.

All our dreams of speaking.

Fernando Pessoa.

Yes.

That's beautiful.

Are you a writer?

I think so.

I feel like the universe is

trying to tell me something.

Well I think we drained

this aquarium of every

possible metaphor.

We should meet at the

planetarium next time.

Yes.

It was a real

pleasure, Michelle.

Me too.

Don't forget, you have my card.

Send me what you can.

I will.

Thank you, Norman.

Who the f*** was that?

A book publisher.

And he wants to

read my material.

Yeah, I'm sure he does.

Perfect!

Cut!

That was incredible.

That was incredible.

Alright, people.

Thank you, that's a wrap.

Don't forget the

wrap party tonight.

Thank you, man.

- Thank you.

- Alright.

Eddie!

You're a genius!

That brain of yours,

that beautiful brain.

My brain is a turd

compared to yours.

A turd on my big bald head.

Now, I'm gonna introduce

you to that woman yonder,

but be careful.

She's the new head

of the studio.

She's a tough cookie.

Marissa.

The boy wonder.

I hope you didn't

come here to fire me.

Oh no, are you kidding me?

I love your films.

Switchblade and.

- J-force.

- J-force.

Yes. They're big,

you know?

They're bold.

The explosions and car crashes.

He puts so much

testosterone on this

screen you can taste it.

Almost.

I mean, I don't know what

testosterone tastes like.

Yeah, actually this film,

I wanna do something

that's a little bit more deep.

You know, cause I'm

excited to show the world

that I'm not

two-dimensional, you know?

And listen, if you're excited,

we are really excited.

And I heard that your

editor has been working

around the clock so I

would really love to see

an assembly Monday.

It's just a general

assembly he has, you know,

I have to go to the editing

room, work around it, you know?

Right, got it.

Okay, Tuesday.

Can you, um, book us

a screening room?

- No.

- Right away.

- Thank you.

- No, no.

Tuesday, I'm not gonna be

ready to show you anything

on Tuesday, really.

I mean, I wanna

show you my vision.

Uh-huh.

This film wants to

be transcendental.

Good, good.

Um, I'm still gonna need to

see an assembly by Tuesday.

Why not we do Tuesday,

but at the same time you

agree to come with me

tonight to the wrap party.

I don't really party with

below the line people and

I kinda get roped into

this fundraiser for kids

- with cleft palates.

- Oh.

So I gotta head back.

- Watch out, watch out!

- Oh!

Are you okay?

I think so.

Your glasses.

Okay.

You okay?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Yeah, I think I can find

time for a quick drink.
