"Julia's had it rough lately." "The sex tape of her and Johnny Gage is still out there and she doesn't know who has it." "Who are you trying to protect, Holt?" "That's Julia with her lesbian smack dealer, Garbo." "Since she left rehab, she doesn't do either anymore." "Well, at least they caught Lucy's stalker, right?" "Right?" "Heh." "I love you, Holt." "I love you." "Holt." "What?" "What's wrong, baby?" "What happened?" "You haven't made love to me like that in months." "I'm just-- I'm wiped out, all right?" "But you were so passionate."

" What is it that you want?" " I want respect!" "And I wanti it now!" "Do you have any idea what it's like to lose the compass in your life?" "We are losing the focus here!" "We shouldn't have to work that hard for love." "The focus is me!" "Me!" "I'm here!" "God damn it!" "I'm still here!" "Hello." "Does it bother you that every time I look at you I think of anthrax?" "You should feel honored." "After 9/11, you were one of the few non-politicians to get the gift of deadly class-five chemicals." "I'd rather have the fruit basket." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "Why?"

"How did Sammy Winter get my personal number?" "How did he get into my car?" "I'm still looking into it." "You know better than just about anybody how easy it is to get into someone's life and steal their soul." "What we do has nothing to do with stalking or terrorizing people." "He's not a weirdo." "Give him a call." "It's not just you." "Your entire staff, haven't you noticed they're pretty wrecked?" "Uh-huh!" "Mm..." "Yes!" "I was having such a lousy night until I met your guys."

" Oh, not the" " Well, we're certainly not the" " At least not to look at." "But I guess that makes it easier, doesn't it?" "I don't like where this is going." "Maybe you should have thought of that before you took advantage of my daughter... my virginal, 17-year-old daughter." "17." "Oh, Daddy." "Um, maybe I should get someone from legal in here." "That's not necessary right now." "You see," "I just wanted to look you two right in the eyes." "And that's it?" "Well, you tell me." "Is her virginity restored?" "Is her innocence intact?" "Has she been un-raped?" " What ?" " Woaw,w ait a minute." " Excuse me, she practically raped us." " Willa." "Thank you."

"Why would they vanish just because" "Because you and your friend used her and you threw her away." "You think that's funny?" "Look at her!" "After this thing hits, she will never be perceived as anything other than a little slut." " Daddy!" " I'm sorry, baby, but that's the facts." "How can we rectify this?" "It'll be rectified when you are out on the street begging for change instead of sitting here in the publisher's office." "If this whole thing never reached the legal system, you and I could come to some kind of understanding." "An understanding?" "What are you trying to do?" "Are you trying to bribe me from putting your ass in prison?" "You're trying to buy me?" "Do you have any idea how much money I make managing Rebecca Banheart?" "It's not about money." "This is about justice." "I didn't mean to suggest" "I just--You know, I thought what we do here might... help Dawni." "Oh." "You're going to give her a cover and it's all good." " Lucy." " What's wrong?" "Oh." "Uh, shoot." "She wants to..." " Tell me." " to touch me." "What?" "She wants to touch me." "She wants to, um..." "I don't know if I can." "Who, Don?" "Abby." "All right." "Do you remember Lynette?" "Your stepmother." "I've met her." "She was closer to my age than my dad's." "Oh Don." "She was an actress." "She was in Boom Boom, All the Tigers, Full Catastrophe." "I think I made her feel younger." "I was 14." "She called me "little lover."" "Sometimes I liked it." "Don, you know none of that is your fault, right?" "No." "No, Lucy, I don't." "No, Quinn, no."

"You know what?" "Let's just book it." "Okay." "Nothing." "My favorite co-star." "Hi, Johnny." " Hey, Jeff." " Hey, Jules." " What up?" " Nothing." "They're trying to talk me into being the female lead in Hard Charger, but" "I don't know." "I thought that was Amanda Peet." "What?" "That's just a funny freakin' name." "Amanda Peet." "Amanda Pe-et!" "You guys are high." "It helps the work." " Are you working?" " Yeah." "We're writing a production draft to our movie." "You're doing a Jeff Stagliano film?" "Got to keep 'em guessing." "These scenes are going to make theBrown Bunny look likeBarney." "We're talking full-frontal hardcore penetration, non-linear," " radical polemic time." " Boom." "Themes of death and loss and grief." "Tons of pussy." "That sounds great." "Gonna be awesome." "Oh, you-- We've never worked together, Jeff?" "No." "That's true." "You've always been Julia Mallory," "America's sweetheart." "Yeah, well, I'm not really that anymore, am I?" "So what's the girl's part like?" "Oh, my God." "That would be...holy shit." "But, dude..." "Right." "She's got to be super young for the shock value." "And then she can't be a star." "You can't see it coming." "And when the thing happens..." "Yeah, well, anyway, good luck with that." "Hey, I'm gonna try to find an actress to take our order." "Bye." "You look hot, Jules." "You raped me, you piece of shit." " I what?" " You raped me." "Is it rape when you beg me to do you harder?" "So, wait, you two have been dating, screwing for some time now." "Yes." "And you took home a 17-year-old girl and had sex with her." "Well, yes, but she didn't really look" "And she just happens to be Rebecca Banheart's little sister, meaning her father is that nutjob Ray Jimmy Banheart." "What does he want?" "He wants me in jail." "But he'll settle for three covers." "Three?" "Jesus!" "I've always been mystified by the whole Rebecca Banheart phenomenon." "What was the hook of the show?" "How stupid she is?" "Stupid is the new black." "I think it was the tomato that clinched it." "Well, somebody offered her a beefsteak tomato and she declined on account of being a vegetarian." "And you were captivated by her underage sister." "Wow." "There are just so many levels here." "Look, I know you're loving the torture, Spiller, but, really, our sex lives are of no business" " Brent?" " Yeah?" " Shut up." " Yeah." "Okay I have nothing on him in the vault, so we have to go out, we have to get every piece of imaginable dirt on Jimmy Ray Banheart." "And cover the little songbirds while you're at it." "I don't care how seemingly banal it is, just get it." "Get medical, dental, whatever." "Okay." "I'm on my way." "If this goes public, it could do some real damage to this magazine." "This is your problem-- both of you." "You need to fix it." " Oh, and Brent?" " Yeah?" "We are so doing the sex issue:" "polybag, the triple-X." "Now jog in place." "Are you sure you're listening to my heart?" "Oh, that's cold and hard." "Now open wide and say, "Ahh."" "Cut." "Great, guys." "Take five." "We'll come back for the oral." "Mr. Hergopian." "No, I'm Johnson Long." "Your real name's Tim Hergopian." "Born in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan, 1974." "Could you not announce my citizenship status, huh?" " Sorry." " What's up?" "Where's Kitty Ryder?" "She's supposed to be starring opposite you." "I don't know." "Before this film she never missed a day of work." "Any idea where she is?" " Why?" " My boss wants to do a story about her." "Nah." "Good luck finding her." "There's, like, 50 P. A. s driving all over town looking for her right now." "Lucy wants a story." "Oh, I'm sorry, man." "I gotta chub up for the oral." "Okay." "I hurt my back, and when I woke up it was like" "the world was over me." "I'm not over you." "Oh, God, I'm so not over you." "Every time the Goddamn doorbell rings I think it might be you." "Sorry." "I just disappeared." "No." "You got clean." "That's huge." "I hate it." "I can't handle real." "I think you can." "Make love to me straight." "Don't get high, but don't go." "Make love with me." "I need it." "And then us." "Look, this doesn't happen to me, but I love you." "I'm in love with you, Julia." " Fix me." " No." "Please." "Please, fix me." "Please." "I need the soft." "Then I'll make you come so good." "It's not-- You're not hearing me." "I'm hearing you." "I'm just choosing to ignore that part because" "I only love you when I'm high." "I don't love you." "I love Holt." "Fix me." " You're a Goddamn user." " Please!" "You use me, use my dope, then go back and use your boyfriend." "You are gonna die using-- the people, the dope." "Just sell me a Goddamn bag of tar." "It's on me." "Get out." " Hey, Curtis." "Willa." " Hey, Will." " I need a favor." " I can't." "I'm stepping into a meeting." "No, you're not." "Look across the street." "Busted." "You know, this whole tabloid stalker-razzi thing?" "It's getting a little creepy." " I actually do have drinks." " Just give me two minutes." "All right." "What's up?" "One of our artists bangin' a tranny?" "Probably, but that's not why I'm here." "I need anything on the Banhearts, especially the father." "He was a faith healer in Alabama or something." "One day God spoke to him and said that Rebecca's double" "D's were meant to be bouncing around in bad music videos." "That was it." "He started managing them both, and in about a year Rebecca was on the cover of magazines," ""Stick It To Ya" was on the charts, the reality show was in the works." "What about the mother?" "They got divorced years ago." "I think she still gets a piece of the royalties or something." "Sure hope I can score today." "Oh, you'll score." "It's a sure thing." "Oh, yeah." "Oh, yeah." "Oh!" "Yeah." " Kenny?" " Don?" "Don, is that you?" "It's me, Kenny." "Can you hear me?" "Don, where am I?" "I don't like it." "Please help me." " I'm sorry, Kenny." " Don, it's a" "Come back, lover." "Lynette?" "Please, Don." "I don't feel safe." "Don?" "Donnie?" "Is that you?" "Little Lover." "Come here, Donnie." "I've missed you so much." "Miss me?" "Don?" "I brought cookies from work." "Finikia, the little Greek ones." "Uh, Abby, I'm really glad it's you." "I'm glad you're glad." " Can I come in?" " Yeah." "Okay." "Oh, yeah!" " Whatcha you doing?" " Watching porn." "It's for work." "Oh, really?" " Kitty Ryder, she's the queen of porn." " You are a big boy." "She decided to quit." "Now I have to take her picture." "Why are you watching all of her movies?" " I think she's beautiful." " Oh, me too." "Extra point!" "Unh!" " Can I watch with you?" " Sure." "Oh, yeah!" "Can I have a cookie?" "I'm a decent astrologer." "I'd like to do your chart." " When's your birthday?" " Tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" "Do you have plans?" "I was gonna get a cake and let little Tristan lick some of the frosting off." " Do you like cake?" " I like cake." "I like it with whipped cream frosting on and I like it with berries on." "One time, Lucy got a cake from Sweet Lady Jane." "Oh, I wanted to stick my face into that." "I wanted the whole thing to myself." "Let me bring you a cake, Don." "'Kay." "Come on!" "It's the door." "Don, I need to talk to you." " Oh, God." " Hello, Lucy." "Hello, Abby." " I guess you're still real." " I am, thank you." "And you?" "I need to talk to Don for a minute." "I'll be in the kitchen." "Don, have you been following me?" " Have you been taking my picture?" " No." "Was I supposed to?" "No." "Did you take this picture?" "No, Lucy, I would never take this picture." "The composition is bad, the light's terrible, and it's pixilated, which means it's digital, and I don't like digital." "Mm, it looks like it's been taken by a security camera, a cheap one." "Probably a nanny camera, something from the spy store." " I'm sorry." " Why?" " Do you understand what this is?" " Yeah." "Do you like him?" "Somebody is taking your picture and you didn't know they were taking it." "Yes." "Someone is trying to do something to scare me." "They're doing what we do." "Holt." "Look at me." "Look, I'm sorry it didn't work out with Hard Charger." "I don't give a shit about Hard Charger." "I just went to Garbo's and I scored some dope." " Oh, for Christ's sake, Julia!" " Look, there it is." " Come on." "What are you doing?" " That's the purest shit she's ever given me." "And that's enough to put me in a coma." "Wait, so you're seeing her again?" "No." "I'm not seeing her." "And I haven't touched the dope." "I'm seeing you." "I'm seeing the man I love in front of me, disappearing into his stardom... just the way I did." "And maybe you have to go through with it." "It doesn't matter." "It's not about that." "It's about whether the two of us are gonna make it." "Separately, together..." " Julia" " Listen, listen." "In my program, they talk about doing a searching and fearless moral inventory, and, oh, my God, I'd been blowing it off because do I not want to look at all the ways that I have wronged people," "and I've sold my own self short." "Everywhere I look," "I see someone I've hurt or someone who's hurt me, and I know I've hurt you." "I know I have." "I know you were honest with me about the accident, and I just want to be honest with you and see if there is some ground zero in this relationship." "I slept with Johnny Gage." "And you saw it." "And my God, Holt, I can't" "I can't tell you how sick I've been about it, how afraid I've been that you'd leave if I brought it up or if it got out, what that would do to us." "I kept thinking if I just get high enough, maybe it would go away, and it-- it doesn't matter right now." "I was roofied or drugged with something." "But for all I know, I was just drunk and high." "And I slept with him." "Because we were working together, and isn't that just what we do?" "We pretend until it crosses over, and suddenly, we've wrecked our whole lives." "I mean, we walk around, playing make-believe, never really thinking about what's gonna happen when we go off-book." "I'm sorry, Holt." "I am just so sorry." "Listen to me." " I'm gonna get the sex tape back." " Okay." "And then we're gonna start from scratch." "All right?" "Brand new." "Right there." "Madame Editor..." "The only thing more annoying than you being your authentic self, is you kissing my ass." "What a kind thought." "I'm worried that you're gonna turn this Jimmy Ray Banheart character down flat." "You really think that we should tank the magazine,and agree to do three covers on an underage slut who can't sing." "If her father can take us down, yes." "Yeah." "You mean if the father can take you down." "If you didn't think this scandal could seriously damage the magazine, you wouldn't be dealing with him at all." "I'm not out of moves." "And so what." "If he goes public, I'll just, you know... dump it on you, and fire your ass." "Are you really gonna force me to be the one to remind you that, a few weeks ago," "I put myself between you and an armed gunman?" "I will make you a promise." "This will be the last time that your dick takes up this much of my time." "Don!" "Are you ready?" "Hold on!" "Just one second." "Here you go, buddy." "Okay." "Now close your eyes." "Okay." "Surprise!" "Wow, you really did bring cake!" "I know the baker." "I thought, um, the way you described your love of cake," "I thought...maybe..." "I don't know." "He seems creepy to me, but he's got no record." "He's got no D. U. I.'s, no big tax investigations, he never went all the way with his high school sweetheart, and he's a damn good manager." "He got Rebecca signed, and got her magazine covers, before she even had a publicist." " Hollywood Digest." " Yeah." "Three covers." " Oh, God..." " Holy shit!" "He pimped Rebecca out, too." "Under which editor?" "Ray Patterson." "Ray Patterson." "You wanna ask my forgiveness for the way you treated me?" "I thought I treated you well." "You climbed over my smoldering corpse to get a promotion." "Don't be a baby." " You told me you had feelings for me." " I didn't say which feelings." "So." "Three covers on Rebecca Banheart, without even an album to tie them to." "You know how it is, Lucy." "Sometimes, you invent a cover girl." "Look at your prom girl murder." "Or there's always the" ""Blackmail the horny editor, "after he bangs your underage daughter" trick." "I think we're done here, Lucy." "As if we weren't already." " I have enough to run the story." " Then run it." "I'll deny it." "They'll deny it." "It's a double-amputee." "No legs." "I know you don't trust me, Ray." "I don't blame you." "Look, I'd walk over you again, if I had the choice." "But they're doing the same thing to us." "I'm not asking you to confirm." "I just...want you to look at me." "Just tell me I'm wrong." "I owe you one." "Yeah, right." "Hello." "Oh, yes!" "Yes." "Thank you." "Yeah, I really appreciate it, Tom." "You can fax it." "Thank you." "Kitty Ryder." "Did ya get what you need?" "Yup." "Um...excuse me, Kitty." "Hi." "My real name's Megan." "I was wondering who it would be." "My name is Willa McPherson." "I'm writing a story for a magazine." "Do you mind if I talk to you for a sec?" "Of course." "Okay." "Um, can my friend take some photos?" "Sure." "Can I ask you why you're leaving?" "I mean, is it.." "is it the objectification, or the humiliation?" "Oh, gosh." "You're all in knots, aren't you?" "Yes." "I am." "I didn't leave because it was so bad." "I left because it was so good." "Too good." "Too much." "That's all that was wrong with it." "How can you let go of desire, when... every desire you've ever had is being met on an hourly basis?" "I was attached to the sex and the money." "So I was attached to the grief I felt, at the end of the day, when it wasn't enough." "If you want nothing, you fear nothing." "You need nothing." " Jimmy Ray." "Deena." " Dawni." "Oh, right." "But soon, you're hoping the whole world will know your name, after the big covers and all." "Isn't that right?" "Oh, I was thinkin' more about the name" "Lucy Spiller bein' synonymous with statutory rape." "Oh, I don't love being blackmailed by some snake-oil salesman who pimps out both his underage girls to jump-start their careers." "Hey, Rebecca's got nothing to do with this." "Really." "'Cause I think it would make a great cover." "Yeah. "Sleazy Father Blackmails to Launch "Talentless Star to Power."" ""100 Million Dollar Industry "Built On Shameless Lie."" "The numbers would be so big." "You wanna play?" "Cool." "We'll play." "Let's see what this little story does to DirtNow." "Oh, and, uh, CNN?" "They're gonna love Brent's perp walk through the lobby." "I can play chicken, too." "Uh, sweetie?" "You forgot your birth certificate." "What?" "Mommy faxed it over." "I think she might have been under the impression that" "I need it, to send her a royalty check." "My bad." "Would you mind if I..." "take a look?" "Bitch is 19." "Yeah, you're still a pervert." "You're just not a rapist." "And I'm still tempted to do that other cover." "What you want?" "As long as I have first look at anything Rebecca Banheart does, and I mean anything..." " You see that?" " Oh..." " She digs me." " Don't even." "Who let you in?" "I'm a big movie star, remember?" "That's right." "I want the sex tape back." "Close the door." "Wait in the vault." "I'll be done in just a minute." "Here's the original tape." "And the one copy." "That's it." "Oh, it's that easy, huh?" "It's that easy." "Is this really the tape?" "You want me to prove it to you?" "Paid in full." ":" "_"
