" Sure you don't want anything?" " Not here." " Thanks." " A drink or something?" "No." "Thanks, though." "I'll take a cigarette, if you have one." "Yeah, just reach inside my shirt pocket there." "Any new girls on the street lately?" "No." "I haven't seen any." "A brunette?" "Maybe a little beat-up?" "No." " Keep your eyes open for me, okay?" " Sure." "You bet you will." "That money... you don't know where it came from?" "When you think of them, the money and the key... does it make you remember anything?" "There's something... something... there." "What did you say?" " They fired everyone." " Who fired everyone?" "Ray did!" "Wait!" "I'm talking on the phone." "They closed the set." "Everybody's gone." "You'd better get down here." "No." "You've gotta talk to Ray." "You've gotta fix this." "I'm going home." "Home?" "Meet me at the office, we gotta do something." "You gotta do something!" " I'm going home, Cynthia." " Adam, this isn't like you." "Please, come to the office." "There's gotta be something we can do!" "I'm going home." "I wonder where you were going." "Mulholland Drive." "Mulholland Drive?" "That's where I was going." "Mulholland Drive." "Maybe that's where the accident was." "There must be a police report." "We could call." "We could call anonymously just to see if there was an accident." "It'll be just like in the movies!" "We'll pretend to be someone else." "I wanna walk around, anyway." "I'm in Hollywood and I haven't even seen any of it." "Come on, Rita, do you feel up to it?" "Okay." "But just... just to see." "Just to see if there was an accident... on Mulholland Drive." "Lorraine?" "You're home?" "Lorraine?" "Now you've done it!" "Just forget you ever saw it." "It's better that way." "What the hell are you even doing here?" "What are you doing?" "That's my jewelry!" " That bastard." "You bastard!" " He's probably upset, Lorraine." "What are you doing?" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Adam, stop it!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "You're hurting me!" "Gene!" "You're hurting me!" "That ain't no way to treat your wife." "I don't care what she's done." "Throw him out!" "Throw him out!" "Damn you, Adam!" "Throw him out!" "Get out!" "Let's hide it." "There's one." " Los Angeles Police Department." " I'm inquiring about an accident last night on Mulholland Drive." " I'll connect you to Traffic." " Sergeant Baker." " Hi, I'm inquiring..." "I heard a sound last night that sounded sort of like a car crash." "I want to know if there was an accident on Mulholland Drive." "Yes, there was." " Can you tell me what happened?" " No, I can't." " Was anyone hurt?" " May I have your name, please?" "There was an accident." "He wouldn't tell me anything else, but that was your accident, Rita." "Maybe there's something about it in the papers." "Come on, I'll buy you a cup of coffee and we can see." "Maybe it happened so late it's not in today's paper." "There's nothing?" "Not that I can see." "That's okay." "Thanks." "Diane." "Will that be all?" "Would you like your check?" "Rita, you want something?" " No, just... just the coffee." " We'll take our check." "What is it, Rita?" "I remember something." "I remember something!" " What is it?" " Diane Selwyn." "Maybe that's my name!" ""D. Selwyn." It's the only one." "I'm gonna call." " It is strange to be calling yourself." " Maybe it's not me." "Hello, it's me." "Leave a message." "That's not my voice." "But I know her!" "Maybe that isn't Diane Selwyn's voice." "Maybe that's your roommate." "Or if it is Diane Selwyn, she could tell you who you are." "Maybe." "Maybe, maybe..." "Adam Kesher?" " Adam Kesher?" " Get lost!" " This is Adam Kesher's house." " Like hell it is!" "Get out now!" "Get out!" "Adam Kesher?" "Get out of here!" "He's never coming back!" "Ever!" " Bastard." " I guess you don't understand English." "She said leave." "Here's the door." "Gene!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Adam Kesher?" " Yeah, what is it, Cookie?" " I'm sorry, Mr. Kesher... but there seems to be some problem with your credit cards." "What?" "I pay you cash, Cookie." "Listen, two guys from your bank came by." "My bank?" " How'd they know I was here?" " I don't know." "What'd they say?" "They said to tell you that you're maxed out at your bank... and that your line of credit has been canceled." "That's unbelievable." "Well, look..." "I don't know what's going on." "That is so much baloney." " I got enough cash for you, Cookie." " I know, I know." "Don't worry." "But I'm sorry, it's my duty to inform you... listen, man, whoever you're hiding from... they know where you are." "Right." "I'm sorry." "Hello?" " Someone maybe shut off my money." " I know." "Where are you, Adam?" " Sorry, what do you mean you know?" " Somebody called... they told me you were as good as broke." "So I made a few calls." " And?" " You're broke." "I'm not broke!" "I know, but you're broke." "Where are you?" " I'm at Cookie's, downtown." " Do you know somebody called..." ""The Cowboy"?" " "The cowboy"?" " Yeah." ""The Cowboy"." "This guy, the Cowboy, wants to see you." "Jason said he thought it would be a good idea." "Jason thought it would be a good idea for me to go see the Cowboy." "Should I wear my 1O-gallon hat and my six-shooters?" "Something tells me that this guy is connected to what's happening." "Adam, I think you should do it, and you should do it right away." " What's going on, Cynthia?" " It's been a very strange day." "And getting stranger." "Where do I meet this Cowboy?" "Do you have to ride out to the range?" "Sort of, funny boy." "If I tell him the meeting's on... you'll go to the top of the Beachwood Canyon, there's a corral up there where he'll be." " You've gotta be kidding me." "Will you meet with him?" "Yeah." "Sure." "This has been that kind of a day." "When?" "I'll call him right away and then I'll call you back." "You know, you could stay at my place, if you wanted." " I don't think that'd be a good idea." " I was just offering a place to stay." "Yes, and I appreciate the offer, Cynthia." "I'll find a place." "Just go on and give that cowboy a yodel and get on back to me." "Okay." "But you don't know what you're missing." "Just get along, little doggie." "And call me back." "It's right about here." "Sierra Bonita." "It's not too far away." "What's wrong with that?" "I'm not sure about this." "I know you're afraid of something." "We'll be careful." "I promise." "Tomorrow." "We'll go over there... and we'll find out." "It'll be okay." "It's probably Coco." " Yes, may I help you?" " Someone is in trouble!" "Who are you?" "What are you doing in Ruth's apartment?" "She's letting me stay here." "I'm her niece." "My name's Betty." "No, it's not!" "That's not what she said." "Someone is in trouble!" "Something bad is happening!" "I'm sorry, but I don't know who you are and..." "Louise?" "What are you doing, Louise?" "I've been trying to get hold of you since 3 o'clock this afternoon." "That one is in my room and she won't leave!" "I want you to get her out." "I want you to get her out now." "This is Louise Bonner." "I'm sure she meant well." "Louise, this is Betty, this is Ruth's niece." "I was on my way over here to see Betty." "Betty is a young actress." "I was delivering some faxed pages of a scene for a big audition tomorrow." " Well, here they are, honey." " Thank you." "Come along now, Louise." "I'll take you home." "I'm sorry." "It happens sometimes." "Come on." "No, she said it was someone else who was in trouble." "Stop it, Louise!" "I'm taking you home." "Come on." " Good night, Betty." " Good night." "Good night." "Cowboy..." " Howdy." " Howdy to you." "Beautiful evening." "Thank you for coming all the way up here to see me from that... nice hotel downtown." "No problem." "What's on your mind?" "Well, now." "Here's a man who wants to get right down to it." "Kind of anxious to get to it, are you?" "Whatever." "A man's attitude... a man's attitude goes some ways the way his life will be." "Is that something you might agree with?" "Sure!" "Did you answer because that's what you thought I wanted to hear... or did you think about what I said... and answered 'cause you truly believe that to be right?" "I agree with what you said." "Truly." "What'd I say?" "That a man's attitude determines to a large extent how his life will be." "So since you agree... you must be a person who does not care about the good life." "How's that?" "Well, stop for a little second... and think about it." "Can you do that for me?" "Okay." "I'm thinking." "No, you're not." "You're too busy being a smart aleck to be thinking." "Now, I want you to think and stop being a smart aleck." "Can you try that for me?" "Look, where's this going?" "What do you want me to do?" "There's sometimes a buggy." "How many drivers does a buggy have?" "One." "So let's just say I'm driving this buggy." "And if you fix your attitude, you can ride along with me." "I want you to go back to work tomorrow." "You were recasting the lead actress." "Audition many girls for the part." "When you see the girl that was shown to you earlier today, you will say:" ""This is the girl."" "The rest of the cast can stay." "That's up to you." "But that lead girl is not up to you." "Now, you will see me one more time if you do good." "You'll see me two more times if you do bad." "Good night." " You're still here?" " I thought that's what you wanted." " Nobody wants you here!" " Really?" "My parents are right upstairs." "They think you've left!" " So?" "Surprise." " I can call them." "I can call my dad." " But you won't." " Lf you're trying to blackmail me... it's not going to work!" "You're playing a dangerous game here." "You know what I want." "It's not that difficult." "Get out!" "Get out before I call my dad!" "He trusts you!" "You're his best friend." "This will be the end of everything." "What about you?" "What will your dad think about you?" "Stop!" "Just stop it!" "That's what you said from the beginning." "If I tell what happened, they'll arrest you and put you in jail." "Get out of here before..." " Before what?" " Before I kill you." " Then they'd put you in jail." "Then I cry, cry, cry, and then I say with big emotion..." ""I hate you!" "I hate us both!"" " Such a lame scene." " But you are really good." "Thank you, darling." "Hi, there." "Who are you?" "Betty?" "Betty, can I see you outside for a minute?" "What is it, Coco?" "Your aunt called." "I was afraid of that." "She wants to know who's staying in her apartment." "It's just for a night or two." "Until she finds her own place." "I tried to explain that to aunt Ruth but the connection was bad... and her plane was leaving, and she got it all mixed up." "I kept telling her that it was my friend Rita... and she kept saying she didn't know any Ritas." " Look at me straight, sweetie." " Coco, she's very nice." "Honey, you're a good kid... but what you're telling me is a load of horse puckey." "Even though it comes from a good place." "I'm gonna trust you to sort this thing out." " Thank you." " Don't make me out to be a sucker." "Louise Bonner said there is trouble in there, remember last night?" "Well, sometimes she's wrong... but if there is trouble, get rid of it." "Is everything all right?" " Is it bad for you that I'm here?" " No, no, everything is A-Okay." "Now, I've gotta fix that sandwich." "And my audition is in one hour!" "I hope I'm back in a couple of hours." " And don't drink all the Coke." " Good luck." "When I get back, I'll keep the cab waiting, so be ready to go." ""Voilà!"" "Betty Elms, I would like you to meet..." "Jack Tutman, my assistant." "Woody Katz, who we have cast in the part of Chuck... and will do the scene with you." "Bob Rooker, our director... and Julie Chadwick." "Now, our surprise guest, Lynne James." "Alas, we can't afford her to cast our show but... well, as casting agents go, she is the best." "Why, thank you, Wally." "Hello, Betty." " Very pleased to meet you." " This is my assistant, Nikki." "And the ever lovely Martha." "Martha Johnson, whom you met out front." "Hi." "So, shall we give it a go?" "Would you like a water, a coffee before we begin?" "No, I'm fine." "Well then, let's everyone take a seat." "Betty, why don't you join Woody over there and we'll play the scene." "Bob, do you have anything you wish to say?" "Something to Betty before we begin?" "No." "It's not a contest." "The two of them... with themselves." "So don't play it for real... until it gets real." "Okay." "Just tell me where it hurts, baby." "What?" "I wanna play this one nice and close like we did with that other girl... what's her name?" "With the black hair." "It felt good, what do you think?" "That's good, Woody." "Just don't rush that line again." "I told you... the line where you say:" ""Before what?"" "Bobby, acting is reacting." "I just play off them." "They all say:" ""They're gonna arrest you", like that, and: "They'll put you in jail."" "They say it the same way." "So when they say it, I just react." " What's your name?" " Betty." "Betty, look." "You don't rush it, I don't rush it, okay?" "Now, we're gonna play this nice and close just like in the movies, okay?" "Dad's best friend goes to work." "Bob?" "And... action!" "You're still here." "I came back." " I thought that's what you wanted." " Nobody wants you here." "Really?" "My parents are right upstairs." "They think you've left." "So, surprise!" " I can call them, I can call my dad." " But you won't." "You're playing a dangerous game here." "If you're trying to blackmail me... it's not gonna work." "You know what I want." "It's not that difficult." "Get out." "Get out before I call my dad." "He trusts you." "You're his... best friend." "This will be the end of everything." "What about you?" "What'll your dad think about you?" "Stop." "Stop it." "That's what you said from the beginning." "If I tell them what happened, they will arrest you and put you in jail." "So get out of here... before..." "Before what?" "Before..." "I kill you." "Well, then they'd put you in jail." "I hate you." "I hate us both." " I'm gonna take her over there." " Yeah, big time." "Well, there it was." "Yeah, there it was, all right." "Baby, you got a way with you." "Really." "Bob?" "Very good." "Really." "I mean, it was forced maybe, but still humanistic." "Very good." "Really!" "Really." "Oh, I thank you, Betty." "And I really mean that, sincerely." "I mean, it was... extraordinary." "You've done your aunt proud today." "I'm going to tell her that first chance I get." "Now, you and I are going to speak again very soon." " Thank you, Mr. Brown." " Thank you, Wally." "I'm sure you all have a lot to talk about." "We'll walk Betty out." "Yes, indeed." "And it was our pleasure, Lynne." "Don't you be a stranger around here." "We'd love to have you here." " Come on, Betty." " Thank you again, Mr. Brown." "And it was nice meeting all of you." "Bye." "Bye!" "She's a slam-dunk!" "Where the hell did you find her?" "God, that was awful!" "Not you, Betty." "You were stellar, and I mean that." "But poor Wally." "He'll never get that picture made." "Wally's days were up 2O years ago." "You know Woody Katz is only doing it for a favor." "And the cast they have so far is terrible." "Oh, God, terrible!" "That poor old fool Wally." "He was very nice and he seems so sweet." "And Wally..." "Mr. Brown is a very close friend of my aunt's." "Don't get me wrong, I love Wally." "I ought to, I was married to him for 1O years." "And I love actors." "All actors." "We just get a little catty sometimes." "We want to take you across and introduce you to a director... who's a head above the rest." "He's got a project you will kill for." "Knock right out of the park!" "Sixteen reasons" "Why I love you" " One" " The way you hold my hand" " Two" " Your laughing eyes" " Three" " The way you understand" " Four" " Your secret sighs" "They are part of sixteen reasons" "Why I love you" " Five" " The way you comb your hair" " Six" " Your freckled nose" " Seven" " The way you say you care" " Eight" " Your crazy clothes" "That's just half" "Of sixteen reasons" "Why I love you" " Nine" " Snuggling in the car" " Ten" " Your wish upon a star" " Eleven" " Whispering on the phone" " Twelve" " Your kiss when we're alone" " Thirteen" " The way you thrill my heart" " Fourteen" " Your voice so neat" " Fifteen" " You say we'll never part" " Sixteen" " Our love's complete" "Those are all" "Of sixteen reasons" "Why I love you" "Sixteen reasons" "Why I love you" " Cut it!" "Thank you very much, Carol." " Checking the gate?" "Checking the gate!" "Thank you." "We'll tell you what happens next!" "Thank you very much for coming in." "I know how busy you are." "Are you kidding me?" "I loved the script." "Just show me where to sign." "I love you, but there's no way they're gonna let me cast this thing... until I've seen everyone." "I'll let you know as soon as I can." "I know you will." "Because my manager is gonna be bugging you." "And me!" " My pleasure." "Now get outta here." " You're so cruel to me." " I'm the girl who's playing this part." " I'll see you later." "Hank?" "Where's Hank?" " Who's next, Hank?" " Camilla Rhodes." " Is she ready?" " All ready." " Bring her in." " Camilla Rhodes, next." ""Sylvia North Story"." "Camilla Rhodes, take one." "Okay, here we go." "Let's lock it up, please." " Roll sound, please." " That's fit." "Playback and action." "Why haven't I told you?" "Oh, baby, I told" "Every little star" "Just how sweet I think you are" "Why haven't I told you?" " Get Jason over here." " Cindy, Adam wants to see Jason." "Made my heart an open book" "Why haven't I told you?" "Friends ask me Am I in love" "I always answer "yes"" "Might as well confess" "If the answer's yes" "Maybe you may love me too" "Oh, my darling, if you do" " Why haven't you told me?" " Did you want to tell something?" "This is the girl." "Excellent choice, Adam." "Oh, my goodness." "I have to be somewhere." "I promised a friend." " I'm sorry, I must go." " Now?" "Should be around here." "259O." "That's it." "Up there!" "Does it look familiar?" " Don't stop!" " What is it?" "What do you see?" " Those men, in front, in the car." " Do you know them?" "Keep going." "Go around to the back." "Selwyn, number 12." "Now you got me scared." "You see?" "I told you there was nothing to be afraid of." "Betty, wait." "Wait!" "Don't." "No one's home." "Yes?" "Diane?" "Number 17." "But it said number 12." "I switched apartments with her." "She's in 17." "It's down at the end, on the left." "But she hasn't been around for a few days." "We'll leave her a note." "I'll go with you." "She still got some of my stuff." "You go ahead." "I gotta get that." " Guess you're not Diane Selwyn." " Guess I'm not." "There's still no one home, I guess." " What are you doing?" " Come on, help me in." "Come on, I'll open the front door." "No!" "Come on." "Come on!" "I know what you're doing." "I know what you have to do." "But let me do it." "Let me do it." "You look like someone else." "Good night, Betty." "You don't have to wear that in the house." "What?" "The wig!" "I was just looking at myself again." "I'll take it off to sleep." "You don't have to sleep on that couch." " No, it's okay." " No, it's not." "This is a huge bed." "Come on, just get in and get a good night sleep." "It's more comfortable than the couch, isn't it?" "Thank you, Betty." "It's nothing." "I shouldn't have let you sleep on the couch last night." "No, I mean... thank you for everything." "You're welcome." "Good night, sweet Betty." "Good night." "Have you ever done this before?" "I don't know." "Have you?" "I want to with you." "I'm in love with you." "I'm in love with you." "Silence." "Silence." "Silence." "There's no band." "There's no band." "There's no orchestra." "Silence!" " Rita?" " There's no band." "Rita, wake up!" "It's okay." "It's okay." "No, it's not okay." "What's wrong?" "Go with me somewhere." "It's two o'clock." "It's two o'clock in the morning." "Go with me somewhere." "Sure." "Now?" "Right now." "There's no band!" "There is no band!" "This is all... a tape recording." "There's no band, and yet... we hear a band." "If we want to hear a clarinet... listen..." "A muted trombone." "A muted trumpet." "It's all recorded." "There's no band!" "It is all... a tape." "It is an illusion." "Listen!" "Ladies and gentlemen, let Club Silencio introduce to you..." ""La Llorona de Los Angeles"." "Rebekah del Rio." "I was all right" "For a while" "I could smile for a while" "But I saw you last night" "You held my hand so tight" "As you stopped to say hello" "You wished me well and you" "Couldn't tell" "That I've been crying" "Over you" "Crying" "Over you" "Since you said "so long"" "I've been miserable and alone" "Lonesome and crying" "Crying" "Crying" "Crying" "It's hard to understand" "That upon seeing you again" "I'd be crying" "I thought" "That I was over you" "But it's true, so true" "I love you even more" "Much more than I did before" "But darling, what can I do" "You don't love me anymore" "And I will always be" "Crying over you" "Crying over you" "Your love has captured" "The whole of my heart" "That was left crying" "Crying" "Crying" "Crying" "Betty?" "Betty?" "Where are you?" "Hey, pretty girl." "Time to wake up." " Where have you been?" " What do you want?" "My lamp and dishes." "Come on, Diane, it's been three weeks." "I put your dishes in that box." " That's my ashtray." " Take it." " Anytime." " I'm just making sure, Diane." "This is it?" "By the way, those two detectives came by again looking for you." "Camilla!" "You've come back." "What was that you were saying, beautiful?" "I said... you drive me wild." "We shouldn't do this anymore." "Don't say that." "Don't ever say that." "Don't, Diane!" "Stop it!" "Diane, stop!" "I've tried to tell you this before." "It's him, isn't it?" "I'm not trying to show you how to do the scene, but just... watch me and I think you'll understand what I'm getting at." "Don't sit so rigid, just... just relax." "Now, the two of you are alone and it's real comfortable." "Like you've known each other forever." "Even if you don't say anything, it's real comfortable." "Hank, can you just clear the set?" "There's too many people around here." " Let's get this worked out." " Clear the set!" "Everyone have a cup of coffee." " Everyone, please!" " Can Diane stay?" "Yeah, sure, Diane can stay." "Hank, let Diane stay!" "Diane!" "Now, when she starts to cry, don't pull her towards you." "Let her fall into you." "Just let her fall." "And when you kiss her... it's just a continuation of that move." "There's no break." "Kill the lights!" "Don't be mad." "Don't make it be like this." "Oh, sure, you want me to make this easy for you." "No fucking way!" "It's not gonna be!" " It's not easy for me!" " Diane!" "Hello, it's me." "Leave a message." "Diane?" " Hello?" " Diane?" "Camilla." "Diane, the car's waiting." "Are you okay?" "You coming?" "Good." "It means so much to me." "Go on." "The car's right outside your house." "It's been waiting, okay?" "Okay." "It's 698O, Mulholland Drive." "Mulholland Drive." "What are you doing?" "We don't stop here." "A surprise." "Shortcut." "Come on, sweetheart." "It's beautiful." "A secret path." "Perfect timing." "Welcome, Diane." "Well..." "Here's to love." "Here's to love." "Here she is!" "I don't believe you met my mother." "Hi." "I'm Diane Selwyn." "Just call me Coco, everybody does." "Pleased to meet you." "Well, let's eat!" "I'm starving!" "I'm sorry I was late." "I'm from Deep River, Ontario." " A small town." " So you rolled in here from Canada." "I always wanted to come here." "I won this jitterbug contest." "That sort of led to acting." "You know, wanting to act." "When my aunt died..." "Anyway, she left me some money." " She worked here." " In the movies?" "Yes." "How did you meet Camilla?" " On the "Sylvia North Story"." " Camilla was great in that." "I never went to Casablanca with Luigi." " What a pity!" " Then go!" "I wanted the lead so bad." "Anyway, Camilla got the part." "The director..." "Bob Rooker?" "Yes." "He didn't think so much of me." "Anyway, that's when we became friends." "She helped me... getting some parts in some of her films." "I see." "So I got the pool, and she got the pool man." "I couldn't believe it." "I wanted to buy that judge a Rolls Royce." "Sometimes, good things happen." "So I guess we've saved the best for last." " Do you want to tell them?" " No, you tell them." "Camilla and I... are going to be..." "Sorry about that." "No, I'm fine." "This is the girl." "Don't show me this fucking thing here." "It's just an actress' photo resume." "Everybody's got one." "You got the money?" "I sure do." "Okay, now, once you hand that over to me, it's a done deal." "You sure you want this?" "More than anything in this world." "When it's finished, you'll find this where I told you." "What's it open?" "Silencio."
