"The drug dealer from Claudia's party." "God, what a mess." "He's not that bad of a guy." "He just did something stupid." "You probably don't even remember" "What it's like on the bottom rung." "Of course I do." "Why do you think I take my work so seriously?" "There's always someone willing" "To work twice as hard at half the rate." "You know, modeling used to be so easy" "For me when I was a kid." "People always said I was a natural," "And so I never had to try." "Now it feels like I'm trying too hard." "What does feel easy?" "My music." "I get lost in it." "But it's not a living." "It just... doesn't mean anything" "Until you got a crowd going crazy for it." "Bring a cd over tonight." "We'll listen to it before nina's party." "Okay." "Shall I, um, make this out to cash?" "Claudia?" "What are you doing here?" "Posting your bail." "That was you?" "I don't know what to say." "How about "I'm sorry"?" "You humiliated me" "And the agency." "I know I messed up big time." "So I can make this better." "I'll pay you back every penny, I swear." "Don't worry about the money." "Consider it severance." "Egan, I'm dropping you." "And you know the worst part about this?" "You were actually really good." "Claudia." "Claudia." "Ooh, all that sugar?" "Bold choice." "Just looking out for you." "I know you're trying to lose the weight." "What is your problem?" "Sorry, I get touchy" "When jobs get stolen out from under me." "I didn't steal anything." "Are you going to deny" "Shagging Franco in the vip room for the job?" "You're delusional." "And you're a sneaky tart." "I'm not afraid to play dirty, either, sonja." "You would not believe some of the things" "I've had to do to get myself here." "Oh, please, spare me the whole" "Sad london east-end street-urchin story." "So you've slept your way to the middle." "Well, if i were you," "I'd consider myself lucky to be working at all." "So, are you and sonja close?" "Yeah, we're besties." "So, what's the scoop" "On where she's been hiding the last six months?"

"Hey, I know you've just been released," "But the art director's asking for one last setup." "He wants a tight shot with the stepsisters tormenting Cinderella" "Count me in." "How long is this gonna take?" "As long as it takes." "Chris is a big boy, rain." "He can handle his photo shoot on his own." "What are you doing here?" "I just went all the way downtown," "And they said somebody already bailed you out." "Yeah." "Claudia." "Really?" "That was decent." "It was real decent." "She cut me." "Just like that?" "Just like that." "I got the money." "Pay her back. she'll get over it." "Doesn't matter. she doesn't want the money." "She just wants me gone." "I'm done." "Really sucks, too, 'cause the aesthetics of this room" "Are really starting to come together." "You're gonna have to get some more milk crates." "What are you gonna do?" "It's like overnight, uh..." "I'm like an untouchable." "You're gonna stick around tonight at least, right?" "One last party?" "Yeah." "Hey!" "Can I help you?" "Uh, actually, I think I'm in the wrong place." "You chris?" "Yup." "You got my money?" "You're the photographer?" "Want a beer?" "No, thanks." "I'm good." "Stand over here." "Okay." "No, man, I'm not feeling this." "What the hell, man?" "I just bought this." "Why?" "Go lean against the wall." "What the hell?" "!" "What's wrong with you?" "Yeah, see, now, that's what I'm talking about." " Come on, bring it now." " You're crazy, you know that?" " Bring it!"

"But your pretty little friends" "Don't exactly have your back." "What do you want?" "What are you offering?" "Go to hell!" "You know, I almost feel bad for you." "You just got back, you just shot this big, fancy ad." "And now this comes out?" "It's gonna be huge." "Look, I get that you all hate me." "But why don't you try to find one decent bone in your body" "And leave my daughter out of this." "That would make me a terrible businessman, now, wouldn't it?" "Nina." "Oh, you look amazing." "Mwa." "I could kill you." "Back at you." "Is this him?" "Isaac." "Go introduce yourself to Micah at the turntables." "Your music, darling." "Why haven't I booked you yet?" "I've... been pretty busy." "Adorable." "Honestly." "Hey, beautiful." "Why the face?" "No face." "I was just... thinking." "About chris." "I haven't talked to him since the photo shoot." "Feel like a jerk for standing him up." "You were working." "If he can't understand that," "Then whatever it is you're doing with him is never gonna fly." "You two look great together." "Have another photograph, please?" "Come find me later." "I have a million people to introduce you to." "Together." "Excuse me." "Raina. finally." "You seen Marissa?" "Girl's a little hard to pin down." "It's you that needs pinning down." "I get it-- you want to make sure" "I'm chaperoned at all times." "What I want is for you to not be here." "Dad's out of prison." "He wants to see you." "I don't care." "He's a liar and a criminal, just like you." "You're not the only one trying to reinvent your life, raina." "I have plans, too." "Fine." "If you go now, i will call dad tomorrow," "But only if you leave now." "Be awfully rude to my date." "Marissa is not your date-- she's my friend" "And i'm going to warn her" "To stay as far away from you as possible." "Excuse me..." "Heifer." "Excuse me." "Sorry." "Marissa..." "Marissa, wait." "Listen, I hate myself for what happened the other night." "The feeling's mutual." "I am here with someone else, Egan." "It doesn't mean you have to leave with him." "I couldn't stop thinking about you" "The entire time I was locked up." "Oh, please." "It's not like you served ten years in sing sing." "Where did you steal that from?" "I bought it." "The first week we met." "I was hoping one day" "I'd find the right moment to give it to you." "And this is that moment?" "I got kicked out of the residence." "I might not see you again for a while." "So, please, will you take it?" "Have fun with your date." "Egan." "You really are an idiot." "Been looking for you, Alexei." "We need to talk." "Okay. let's talk tomorrow." "This can't wait." "Back off!" "Come on." "Come with us." "Easy." "Look at those two." "They're too perfect for words." "Yeah, they really are." "I was thinking about calling Calvin Klein" "There you are" " I've been calling and calling." "Chist?" "!" "you set me up." "Here we go again." "That guy's a fraud." "What guy?" "Some drunk-ass loser that calls himself a photographer." "Calm down." "Once you see the proofs, you'll get it." "There are no proofs." "I bolted when the guy dumped a beer on my head." "That was stupid." "Look." "These pictures launched my career." "That guy took these?" "You messed up, man." "You could've at least warned me what I was walking into." "Now i'm out five hundred bucks with nothing to show for it." "You screwed me." "No." "Actually, you screwed yourself." "I'm so sorry." "I should've been there." "Raina." "That was a smart move, to stick around at Versace today." "The stylist hasn't stopped talking about you," "And Nina wants to meet you." "Great." "I'll be right back." "Excuse us." "Sonja." "I don't know what I ever did to you," "But you've got some balls giving that lowlife my cell phone." "What are you talking about?" "In the bathroom at Claudia's party." "I know you saw her picture." "You're the only one who knew." "I didn't give anyone anything." "I swear, i have no idea what you're talking about." "Marissa, did you give sonja's cell phone to the paparazzi?" "It's nothing she wouldn't have done to either one of us." "What is with you?" "First my brother, and now this?" "Oh, please." "Sonja stomped all over the rest of us" "To make her way to the top." "I'm not going to cry for her now that she's crashing down." "And as for your brother, well, he seems nice enough to me." "So maybe you're the one with the problem." "Oh, my god." "Rehab reject." "Congratulations." "Your music was a hit." "Crowd like that could really make something happen for me." "Tit for tat." "That's the deal." "Right." "What's this?" "Your money." "Turns out i didn't need it." "But thanks anyway." "You're welcome." "So..." "Shall we?" "You really know how to make a quick getaway, huh?" "Yeah, well, i guess that's one good thing" "The paparazzi taught me." "Those guys are such scum." "Can i come in?" "Wow. place looks good." "So do you, by the way." "You know, i was there that night." "What night?" "That night the pictures" "Were taken of you doing those lines." "You probably don't remember; we were pretty wrecked." "I remember." "It's right here at this countertop." "Who was it 3:00 in the morning...?" "What's your point?" "My point is, sonja, is that it was also three years ago." "You gave them those pictures, didn't you?" " I had to. - why?" "Do you realize you probably just killed your entire career?" "I didn't have a choice." "I had to throw them something" "So i could protect the only thing that matters." "Screw everything else." "What are you talking about?" "Please... just tell me." "Do you really want to know?" "Yes." "Her name's Clara." " She's my daughter." " What?" "Oh, my god." "Ah, she's beautiful." "Where is she?" "With my mom... where it's safe." "This is how i put her to sleep every night." "Why...?" "Why?" "Sonja... who's the father?" "Raina, i had no idea that picture was on sonja's phone." "I wouldn't hurt somebody like that, even her." "I believe you." "And i'm sorry about butting in with your brother." "Turns out you were right about him." "It seems the brute has abandoned me here." "He'll do that." "Mm, serves me right, i suppose." "We all do things we wish we could take back." "The point is not to make a habit of it." "Thanks." "I don't suppose you've seen Chris?" "Try the roof." "See you at home." "Never a dull moment around here, huh?" "Not lately." "You know, i just realized," "You really can't see the stars here at night." "Too many lights from the city." "Still, not a bad view." "Got me there." "I'm sorry about what happened" "This afternoon with cole's photographer." "I should have met you there like i promised." "No, it's not your fault." "Or cole's." "I gotta figure out how to do this on my own." "I don't want to be that guy that holds you back, raina." "You're not." "You ready to go home?" "Home?" "No." "But i am ready for bed." "Even if it is in cole's room." "Or..." "You could stay with me tonight." "On the floor?" "Only one way to find out."
