In the meantime,

I'll cover for you.

I'll shoot some inserts until

you feel yourself again, okay?

I have some ideas for scenes.

Dale?

You know, you're right.

This place is beautiful.

What are you doing here?

I came to see you.

How did you find me?

It wasn't hard, baby.

Hey, you think I

can get a Capoeira?

Sure.

Michelle, I'm here to

bring you back home.

I miss you.

I want you back.

I need to write my novel.

Yeah, I know.

And I still think it's crazy,

this whole book thing,

but I already promised you

you could write it at home.

I'll give you all

the space you need.

I don't know.

Hold on.

Yeah, what is it?

Yeah, I got it.

Bad news.

I just got word you're

in grave danger.

Favela drug dealers are on

their way here to grab you.

They're coming across

the beach as we speak.

We gotta get out

of here right now.

This makes no sense.

There are no Favelas here.

These guys are dangerous.

They're like

tropical terrorists.

We gotta move.

Now I'm not gonna let

anything bad happen to you.

Give me your hand.

And cut!

Yes, that looked fantastic.

I don't know what

I'm doing here.

This is what you're doing.

You're shooting bullshit.

You shoot the bullshit.

We send the bullshit

to the studio.

They eat the bullshit

and everybody's happy.

Yeah, but this is not my

film anymore, you know?

I feel like it's

slipping away from me.

You're still worried about

your dick, aren't you?

Of course I am!

Friend, why don't you

take some time off?

Go to the beach,

stare at the girls.

Try to get some semblance

of an erection and leave

the bullshit to me.

You don't wanna be here anyway

for this product placement sh*t.

Fiat.

She's got a brand

new car, lucky her!

No, you're kidding me.

Come on.

They're covering

the entire reshoot.

No.

Like I said, I'd be

happy to shoot it.

Morning!

Has somebody been

moving stuff around?

I don't know, why?

Where is that box that was

supposed to be delivered

to buffalo today?

Oh, the guy who ordered it came

by this morning to pick it up.

What do you mean?

When? Who was it?

The weird guy with the mustache.

What does it matter?

Saved us from shipping

it down there.

And he paid for the order.

We're f***ed.

We're totally f***ed.

Well, the only solution

is to get our girl back.

Right?

I mean, then we'll be fine.

Right?

- Right.

- Right.

Give me your hand.

Okay. Let me just

get my passport.

Okay, but hurry.

Time is of the essence!

Okay, okay, okay.

Pause!

Maybe if we change her hair.

Something.

Dale!

What the f*** are you doing?

Michelle, I told you.

We need to leave.

No! No way!

Michelle, there's

something wrong with you.

You need to come home with me

so I can get you some help.

There's nothing wrong with me.

I mean...

- You need to come home with me.

- No!

- You need to come back with me!

- No!

- You do!

- No! No!

This is for your own good.

Dale.

You need to let me go.

I love you so much, baby.

It's for your own good, honey.

I'm sorry, baby.

And cut!

Beautiful, beautiful!

Hey.

Hey, what's up?

Eddie, my boy.

Just in time.

What are you doing?

Oh!

Helicopters?

Yes, helicopters.

Everyone loves helicopters.

It makes them happy.

The studio loves helicopters.

Is this the new ending?

Yes. It's the new

bang-up ending.

You're shooting a new

ending behind my back.

And you don't even know

what the f*** you're doing.

I know, I'm stupid.

I just thought with

my little pea brain,

I thought why don't we shoot

an ending where something

actually happens.

You know, I know that's a

clich, but you know,

maybe a plot?

Maybe Dale can come save

Michelle and people have

something to cheer for.

No, no, no!

Dale is the abductor.

- He's abducting her.

- Abducting, saving.

Why are you being so negative?

Because this is my movie.

Our movie and the

studio's paying for it.

No, the studio needs

my credit on it.

- Oh, that's my chair.

- Oh, shut up!

Do you want me to

call Marissa and you

can talk to her about it?

- Fine, yes, yes, fine!

- I will if I have to!

Oh, look at that!

What's the matter with you?

You used to love helicopters.

I'm saving your ass!

You've already lost your dick,

you better save your ass!

Not literally.

We're just...

That's the way we talk.

Okay, let's oil 'em up and uh,

move onto the next scene.

Marissa.

Yeah, we have a problem here.

Alright, let's do this.

That trellis is a f***ing joke.

- No.

- F***.

Get down.

I can do it.

- You can do this?

- Let me try.

You can do this on your own?

I got this, I got this.

I can do it.

Alright, I'll stand guard.

Okay, you promise?

Yeah, are you f***ing nuts?

I'm not going anywhere.

- Come on.

- Okay.

- Yup.

- Come on.

Yes, darling.

I took down that wallpaper.

Need light.

Well you weren't here, were you?

I have a surprise for

you, my darling.

It is your favorite.

Yes, of course I've

chilled the champagne.

No, I did not let it breathe.

It's not like wine.

Did you order a Capoeira?

Sit down, Edward,

we need to talk.

Marissa.

Can I say something?

You look beautiful.

I mean, every time

I look into your eyes

you're like in slow motion.

It's called jetlag.

Sit your ass down.

Horowitz said that

there's some problems

with your collaboration.

I don't wanna talk about

Horowitz and his stupid ideas.

Those were my

stupid ideas, okay?

Your film is not working.

He has a more

commercial sensibility.

Let's...

Let's just, you know...

Breathe in, absorb

the surroundings.

- This is beautiful, isn't it?

- Hm.

Let's remember that you're

a woman and I'm a man.

Oh please, we already

did that part.

Yeah, but I'm not talking

about sex only, you know?

There's more to me than that.

You see, people assume

things all the time.

They look at you and they

think oh my god, she's gold.

Very tough, very strong

b*tch who like f***ed her

way up to the top.

But the problem is that

you're really beautiful.

They can't see past that.

Yeah, you're right.

The beauty makes it harder.

Well the same thing

happens to me.

People look at me and

they think oh my god,

he's Mr. action director.

You know, j-force this, j-force

that, j-force f*** me that.

Well they think you're a cock.

Yes, but that's a

small side of me.

There's this other side

which I'm beginning to

accept and that's

my vulnerable side.

My feminine side.

This is the reason why I

wanted to do this movie.

I want people to see me

the way I really am.

Wow.

I'm really glad we had

this conversation, Edward.

I had no idea that you felt

that way. And you know what?

I really think that deep down,

you and I have a lot in common.

So you wanna f*** or what?

No.

Yes. Yes, we will.

- On set.

- Why?

Because it's an adventure.

So we will do it in the trailer.

You know, we will do it

like old Hollywood style.

- Oh.

- Okay?

You look beautiful.

Hi.

Welcome.

First time here?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

May I get you some water?

- Coffee?

- No, I'm fine.

Glass of champagne?
