no, i've been up since four. i've got a big scene today and i'm kind of nervous.
have you read the script?
oh. well, it's pretty emotional. i tell my mother i never felt she really loved me.
i don't know. i'm just going to go with how i feel. which is the scary part. i'm very close to this character.
yes. but she died before i, well before we could reconcile.
thanks.
good morning, "mom."
sleep well?
dad hit me first and knocked me down. it didn't hurt that much but i started crying anyway, hoping he would leave me alone. he went over and started hitting danny.
you were just standing there looking at me. then you pulled me up and said, "you're not hurt." like i was disgusting for faking, for doing the only thing i could think of to keep him from hitting me again.
you do remember.
you were so worried about danny --

it's not your fault, nick. is there a way to use some of the earlier takes?
thanks, nick.

i'm sorry, i'm lost.
cora, don't even think that. you're doing great. i'm the one who's fucking it up. if i get through this i swear i'm never acting again.

you were so worried about danny. what about me, mom? why weren't you worried about me?
you do remember.
you were so worried about danny. what about me, mom? why weren't --
god damn it.
took a taxi.
god, i'm sorry, nick. something came up. i forgot to call. i'm sorry, i feel like such an asshole.
i never should have gone out last night. i hate jazz. god, i look terrible.
don't bullshit me, nick.
i took a cab.
i've always admired you from afar.
well, then: loved. how does that sound?
i've loved you from the moment we met.
we were working together. i didn't want anything to interfere.
good.
i've always admired you from afar.
well, then: loved. how does that sound?
i've loved you from the moment we met.
we were working together. i didn't want anything to interfere.
fine, if that's what chad wants to do.
i understand, chief.
i've always admired you from afar.

i've loved you from the moment we met.
we were working together. i didn't want anything to interfere.
well, i can turn to look at him. but won't you be shooting the back of my head?
it makes perfect sense. i just haven't found it yet. i'll get it though.
i've always admired you from afar.
well, then: loved. how does that sound?
i've loved you from the moment we met.
we were working together -- i'm sorry, can we cut, nick?
i know, i'm sorry. but this feels really awkward; turning all the way around like this.
nick? could i just have a moment? is that alright?
i don't know his sign, but i think his moon is in uranus.
oh, nick! i'm sorry!
is it? something feels off.
do i?
ok, i'll try that.
oh yes, he's very natural.
actually there is. could you maybe ask him to brush his teeth?
i've always admired you from afar.
well, then: loved. how does that sound?
i've loved you from the moment we met.
we were working together. i didn't want anything to interfere -- god!
i'm sorry, nick. i don't know why i did that. i'm sorry.
oh, ok. i'll bring it up. actually could i listen to the take before?
nick, it's my fault the scene isn't working. i apologize. chad, i apologize to you too. i'm completely unfocused here and i think you're absolutely right; what we need to do is loosen the scene up somehow.
i was wondering if we could try improvising the scene. more along the lines of what chad has been doing. maybe that would help me find something.
i've always admired you from afar.
you're right. how does despised sound?
it's sort of like i think you're a piece of shit.
it's not. i really do think you are a piece of shit.
the fuck i do. i can't stand looking at you!
no, i think you have a lot more to say, damian.
that's not what i meant. you should tell everyone what you just told nick behind the set.
say it anyway: the reason this scene isn't working is because you and i slept together last night. did everyone hear that?! i fucked chad last night!
you fucking scumbag! you think i give a rat's ass about you?! i was there to get laid and even that was a joke!
oh, does that mean you're not going to come wiggle on the bed anymore, or stroke my hair real soft and concerned, or kiss me like a soap opera acting piece of shit!
come on! i'll kick your ass! come on!
oh, god!
don't touch me.
shut up. you're no different than he is. you lie, you're deceitful.
oh god, now you're doing your own fucking script.
i have no idea!
christ, did you get a bump on your head, nicky. 'cause you're talking like an idiot.
why didn't you tell me?
god, and all this time i thought.
oh, god.
god. was it something he ate?
can he work tomorrow?
hello. toto, is it?
oh, i'm sorry.
what did you say?
come on; that was nothing. i'm the one who called him "toto." jesus, i'm out of it. i dreamt i was on the set last night too.
yeah. you were in the dream.
actually, you were.
nick.
i am so hungry.
nick, do i see him?
i am so hungry.
i thought i didn't see him.
alright, i'm confused. do i see him or not?
ok, what is the tension? who is toto?
what did i say?
oh, god. i'm sorry, tito. i don't know why i'm doing that. i'm really sorry.
let's just try it.
i am so hungry.
no, something's not right. it all feels fake to me.
i am so hungry.
so am i.
they're sending a car. it should be here in a couple of hours. they didn't even know she was gone.
you tell me! you're the one with the bug up your ass!
you've been picking on me all day! i can't do anything right!
i never said that!
i meant me! i feel fake! everything i'm doing feels fake. i can't act. i should just do shower scenes in richard gere movies for the rest of my life!
i am so hungry.
i am so hungry.
i was an actress for a while.
probably.
