Cut Shoot Kill

Can't we just have some fun?

Why does everything have to be so serious?

Maybe coming here was a mistake.

Don't say that.

Did you see that?

What?

I saw someone over by the window.

They were looking at us.

Must've been Greg.

I don't think so.

Can you see anything?

No.

What?

I saw someone out there.

- They were watching us. - I'm going out there.

No.

Jack please, don't.

- Thank you, Serena. - Hm-hm.

Are you still at Paradigm?

Uh no, actually I just changed

to Shelley Drucker at ADA.

- Oh, he's great. - Hm-hm.

- That's a nice step up for you. - Hm-hm.

- He's a sweetheart. - Thank you.

Hi Shelley, I'm just calling

to check on what happened to that Will Smith movie.

Right, they went with Shaylene Woodley.

Are you kidding?

I mean, I'm never gonna have a chance with someone like her.

Well that's who you're gonna be up against

if you want to be a leading lady,

which brings me to the horror movie.

I don't know, a-a slasher movie?

It-it's just not my kind of thing.

Okay, do me a favor,

watch the short film, think about it.

You bitch.

No! Bitch!

Alabama Chapman?

That can't be his real name.

Who was the girl?

- Hm? - The star.

It doesn't say.

I'm just gonna look her up.

All right, here she is.

Nicole Healy.

She was in six of his movies.

She died.

She was murdered.

She does have some fan pages, though.

Are you Alabama?

Serena?

You're late.

Yeah.

People are tired of being lied to.

What they want is something real.

They'd rather sit at home and watch YouTube videos

of people falling on their asses

than go to some crap movie they know is fake.

You know, they get lied to by the government,

by the news, by their jobs.

What they want is the one thing they are not being given,

the truth.

I saw one of your short films, and it looked...

it looked very real to me.

I've been working with the same crew since I was a kid,

and we all grew up in North Carolina together.

How many of these shorts have you done?

17.

We need to make a feature...

...and we're ready.

He's smart and he's really passionate.

Not at all what I expected.

Well, I'll have them send over a deal.

Serena, this'll be great for you.

These guys have a million Twitter followers,

they're financed, they're paying you.

You're the star. You'll be great.

The future is yours.

- All right, thank you, Shelley. - Mm-hmm.

- I'll talk to you later. - Okay, bye, babe.

You know, I'm trying to get excited about this.

You should be.

Yeah?

Four weeks in the woods

surrounded by a bunch of hot actors and crew?

Well, there's also hot guys in New York too,

and somehow I manage to control myself here.

Yeah?

Anyway, that's not what you're jealous about.

Hmm?

You're just jealous I got a juicy part in a film.

Oh yeah, probably.

- Listen. - Hmm?

Uh, I don't want you to take this the wrong way,

but I want to do this by myself.

I don't want you to visit me.

Are you serious?

As much as I love you,

with the way things have been going between us lately...

you're a distraction, and I need to focus.

You know what, how about this? Fuck you.

All right? And just have fun, you know,

fucking all those guys up there...

- Excuse me? - ...or whatever you do.

When you did that summer stock last year,

I stayed out of your way. - Okay.

And who knows who you were fucking up there.

I was fucking no one and you could have come, right?

No one told you not to.

I didn't want to get in your way.

Okay, well I guess we saw that differently.

Fuck this, I'm gonna stay at my brother's tonight.

And you know... call me when you're back.

Whatever, I don't know,

maybe you'll figure something out by then, okay?

Miss Brooks?

Miss Brooks?

That's me.

Uh, I figured that was you

'cause you look like a movie star.

I was real excited when I heard you got the part.

Uh, I seen your Law and Order episode

like five times.

What's your name?

IBall.

Uh, my-my real name's Raymond,

but uh, everyone calls me IBall,

like iPhone or iMac.

I'm IBall.

Probably on account of my lazy eye.

But I-I don't mind.

Nice to meet you.

You're the last pickup.

It's a long drive up there.

But you can sit wherever you want,

you's being the star, and all.

Well I-I'd be happy to teach you.

Watch your step.

You're doing fine.

Hi, I'm Candice.

Gordon E. Runte.

Serena.

He's from England. He's Shakespearian trained.

Yes, it's true.

I, um, graduated from the Royal Academy.

Just finished a touring show of Hamlet

in which I play the Dane

to a bunch of blue-hairs from Shropshire.

Looking forward to this, I can tell you.

Aren't you playing an American in the film?

Well, fuck yeah.

I play Greg from Kansas City,

a horny little fellow with a fetish for romantic paperbacks.

I die on page 61.

You don't sound European at all.

You's all are so talented.

Yes we are, IBall.

Yes we are.

This is gonna be the best movie ever.

I was in a beauty pageant,

and I got seen by a casting agent,

and he got me to take acting lessons,

but I started having an affair with our teacher.

And then I got a job on a TV pilot,

but the director wanted to sleep with me.

I think I only got this job

because I agreed to take my top off.

That's not true.

There's a lot of actresses who would agree to do that.

Did you?

No.

But I'm just saying that you must've done something

really great in your audition to get the part.

It's not just that you're gonna show your tits.

You're really nice.

You know, I once did three performances of Macbeth

with nothing but the cool fog of Glasgow

to cover my little Gordon.

I just don't see why Americans make such a big fuss over it.

Because we don't want to be exploited.

Right, Candice? - Right.

But they can't exploit you if you're doing what you love.

He's right, I guess.

Look, you make up your own mind about it,

but just because you signed something

it doesn't mean that you have to do things that you don't want to do.

I'm-I'm pretty sure nudity's important to Alabama.

He's a real artist, though.

He-he won't exploit you's.

Hi, it's me.

I really wish you would pick up your phone.

Look, I hate that we got into that fight last night.

All right, um... love you.

Hello?

Did you hear that they cast Blake Stone

I thought he stopped acting after his breakdown.

Sure uh, I mean I bet he's been in a ton of stuff

you never saw.

He plays my boyfriend.
