"Come on, that's enough." "(Laughs)" "So when do I get to see you again?" "The next time I'm hungry for some bad sex." "(Phone)" "Hello." "(Man, whispering) I'm watching you." " Who is this?" " Charlie." "Call me Charlie." "I'm watching you." "I'm always watching you." "This is for you." "(Gasps)" "(Man) Oh, boy." "A little much, huh?" "Yeah, she has this tendency to overact." " Can't you get any better out of her?" " You're very funny, Paul, considering I didn't want her in the first place." " I thought she had something." " Yeah, nice little titties." "Little titties?" "Maybe I shouldn't have hired a first-time director." "Paul, don't you give me that." "I'm working miracles with this stuff." "That's what you say, Alex, but I'm looking at footage and I'm seeing a lot of artsy-fartsy crap." "Damn it, Alex, I quit my law practice." "I put my own money into this thing." "I want it commercial." "Paul, please, I'm killing myself for this movie." "It's gonna be great, I promise you." "Hey!" "I don't want "great"!" "Just give me a movie that is gonna make some money." "You know what happens to first-time directors who bring in a flop, don't you?" " What?" "We get disembowelled?" " Worse." "You never get to work again." "Never ever." "What about the last scene?" " The whole picture is riding on it." " I know." " Can she make the transition?" " Well, I have to work with her." "Pay close attention, Alex." "If the last scene doesn't work, if she can't pull it off... then the whole picture goes down the toilet." "Paul, I know what I'm doing." "I started out as an actor, you remember?" "Yeah." "Let's just hope you're a better director than you were an actor." "Are you?" "(Sighs)" "Making movies can be a little like magic." "Manufacturing illusions and manipulating the way people feel." "But when you fool around with what is and what isn't you run the risk of being tricked" "by your own sleight of hand." " I thought you cared about me." " I do." "You've lied to me all along." "Put down the knife." "I trusted you." "I loved you." "Wait!" " What are you feeling right now?" " Angry." "OK, good." "What else?" " Hurt." " Good." "Let's try it again." "Put down the knife." "I trusted you." "I loved you." "I loved you." "No." "No!" "This is Amateur Night, she's not relating to me!" " Duncan..." " Don't "Duncan" me!" "Enough!" "I'm not gonna have her make me look bad in the last scene!" " Shut up." "I'm warning you." " I don't give a shit!" "Look, I'm sorry, I know you're inexperienced..." " You are out of line!" " No, it's OK, let him talk." "Talk." "Look, in this business, you only get one shot." "And this last scene could be really hot but not with you making me look like a clown!" "I've been trying." "(Sighs) Shit." "I know that." "Are you finished?" "Get out." "We'll finish rehearsals without you." " What, are you kidding?" " Do I look like I'm kidding?" "Exit your last hope." "(Actress) I'm sorry." "You have nothing to be sorry about." "Come on, we'll rehearse in my office." "That's a wrap, everyone." "(Man) Hey, bring those cameras over here." "(Man) No, she's fucking it up!" "You have to do something." " I know, but what the hell can I do?" " Couldn't we just set her up so..." "I trusted you." " You can still trust me." " No." "No, I can't." " I thought you cared about me." " I do." "You've lied to me all along." "Put down that knife." "I trusted you." "Loved you." "You really like me, don't you?" "That line is not in the script." "Maybe it should be." "The knife." "You kill him while he kisses you." "That's so sad." "Well, love kills." "That's what this film is about." "Say it." "Love kills." "Good." "Put down that knife." "I trusted you." "I loved you." "Alex?" "Was I OK?" " (Sighs) - (Giggles)" "I've gotta go back to the editing room." " Would you like to meet for dinner later?" " I'd love to." " Skyline Lounge at nine o'clock?" " OK." "OK." "All right." " (Knock at door)" " Alex?" "I thought we were gonna meet at the restaurant." "Flowers?" "What is this?" "Who are you?" "Wait!" "Ah!" "Hey, take it easy." " Trying to scare me to death?" " Sorry." "I just wanted to... you know..." "How did rehearsal go?" "Fine." "Last scene's a beauty, Leda." "Do it right and you'll be hot stuff over in Lotus Land." "You think scaring me is gonna help my acting?" "By the way, I don't like roses." "They make me sneeze." "(Tyres squeal)" "(Gasps)" "( Piano plays)" "I'm sorry, I got hung up." " Why are you late?" " I got stuck in the editing room." "Paul is going crazy." "Don't give me that, Alex." "This isn't funny." "You're late because you had to get rid of the motorcycle and ditch the mask." "What?" "I thought it was Duncan." "Delivered the flowers then following me." "Now I see it's you." "You're trying to spook me, mess my head around for the last scene." "Leda, what the hell are you talking about?" "You think I'm an awful actress, that I can't do the last scene right so you're making me think there's a real Charlie after me." "A real Charlie?" "Miss Bedell?" " Miss Leda Bedell?" " Here." "Phone call for you." " Hello?" " (Man, whispering) I'm watching you." " What?" " Watching you..." "Who are you?" "Call me Charlie." "Hey, listen, you creep... (Dialling tone)" "Nothing." "(Chuckles)" " The bathroom?" " The bathroom." "(Gasps)" "(Chuckles)" " (Laughs)" " Here's Charlie." "(Both laugh)" "(Gasps)" "(Cries out)" "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "This is a dream." "No!" "No, please." "Oh, my God." "(Screams)" "No!" "(Phone)" "Alex." " (Heavy breathing)" " Alex?" "Charlie." "Call me Charlie." "I'm watching you." "Always watching you." "I'm going to cut you." "I'm gonna cut your pretty skin." "You sure it's here?" "Excuse me, sir, but we've received a complaint." " Complaint?" " Mind if we come in?" "( Opera plays)" " Are you alone, sir?" " Yes, alone." "Tessie died two years ago." " You're sure this is the room?" " Yeah." "This is the room." "You look ill." "You look ill, little girl." "Maybe you were dreaming. (Laughs)" " You all right now?" " I guess." "Take care, you hear?" "(Screams)" "Ahh!" "No!" "No!" "(Gasps)" "(Screams)" "No!" "No!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "(Screams) No!" "No!" "Ah!" "No!" "No!" "No!" " No!" " Cut!" "Good." "Good." "Good." "Good." "Leda, that was wonderful." " l'm so tired." " l know, I know." "Just one more scene to go." " (Sighs) The last scene." " Yeah." "You're ready for it, aren't you, little girl?" "What did you call me?" "I..." "I was just..." "What did you call me?" "I said what did you call me?" "Hey!" "Leda!" "Hey!" "What..." "What the hell is going on?" " Not now, Paul." " Yes, now, damn it!" "Now!" "(Breathing heavily)" "The old man." "Leda?" "Leda?" "I hold you totally responsible for this, Alex." "You'd better find her, and fast." " Where the hell is that girl?" " What are we gonna do?" "How can we shoot this last scene without her?" " Let me think." " The clock is running." "There is no money for a delay." "Don't you understand?" " lf we don't shoot it now, it's all over!" " l know that, Paul." "So why don't you shut up for a minute and let me think?" "Should've had my head examined, getting into this bloody business with you..." "Shut up, you goddamn moron!" "I'm so sick of your bitching." "You better have her on set, on time or I'll sue your ass for every cent l've sunk in this." " Out!" "Out!" " l'm just the guy that'll do it!" "Out!" "Out!" "(Door shuts)" "Damn." "(Phone)" " Leda?" " (Heavy breathing)" " Hello?" " (Leda, whispering) I'm watching you." "Always watching." "Oh, Leda, no." " Call me Charlie..." " Leda, we have to talk." " Talk about the last scene?" " Yes." "Read the script, Alex." "Let's do the last scene for real." "(Tyres screech)" "( Electronic beat)" "( Electronic music)" "Leda." "It was you." " Why?" " Why?" "I did it for you, Leda, so you could really do that last scene." "Don't you see everything depended on it?" "The movie, your career." "What about the restaurant, the telephone call, the old man?" "The phone call was easy." "I recorded Charlie's lines on my computer and hooked it up to a timer." "It called the restaurant right on time." "It was voice-activated." "The old man." "That was me, too." "I used to be an actor, you remember?" "I trusted you." "You can still trust me." "No..." "No, I can't." " l thought you cared about me." " l do." "You've lied to me all along." "Put down the knife." "Put down the knife." "I trusted you." "I loved you." "(Cries out)" "Ah!" "Ah!" "(Alex) Leda, Leda, what did you..." " Ah!" " (Laughs)" "(Laughter)" "(Stammers)" "(Laughs) Yeah. lt's not real. lt's a joke." "It's a joke, it's a joke." "Alex... was I OK?" "And you thought I couldn't act." "(Hitchhiker) Alex Nolan directed movies." "He bent the light and the shadows, and called it truth." "He used people like creatures of clay." "But the truth, when it's bent, has a way of snapping back." "And the creatures created, well, they often have the last laugh." "Subs:" "Clyde.w.o.b"
