Always Shine

Please don't kill me.

I'll do anything that you want.

Do you want to kiss me?

Is that what you want?

You want me to take my clothes off?

You...

You want to touch me?

You can touch me.

Is that what you like?

You want to see more?

What's the matter?

I'm sorry, I just...

I wasn't sure if...

Adele told you there was gonna be nudity, right?

Yeah, we want to make real sure that signal

doesn't get crossed.

Yeah, no, I'm sorry.

I just, I wasn't sure if...

oh, she's wondering if we needed her to...

oh, you mean like right now?

Yeah, no.

That's not necessary.

Okay.

Yeah, we can see how beautiful you are.

No, look, it's...

We appreciate your determination, but she did tell you

that the nudity is fairly extensive though, Adele, right?

Um, she just said that there was nudity.

Nah, it's extensive.

You're okay with that?

Is that?

'Cause if it's not cool.

What we're saying is we need someone

who's not gonna...

yeah, we cannot show up on set,

and have the girl just change her mind at the last minute,

you know?

Yeah, no.

Adele explained it to me.

Okay, but sometimes, even then,

the agent and manager explain it, and then,

you gotta tell us now, because this film,

the way we're gonna shoot, it's gonna be very verite.

A lot of long takes.

It would, it has to be you.

It can't be a double.

Don't worry, sweetheart.

We'll make sure you look beautiful.

Uh, yeah, no, that's fine.

That's fine.

Um,

should I?

Yes, please.

Can we go back?

Sure.

Where are we going back to, honey?

Oh, um.

How about, "I'll do anything you want?"

Is that okay?

Yeah, whatever, sweetheart.

It's all about you.

You want to kiss me?

Is that what you want?

You think I'm gonna fall for that?

I don't know, I don't know what you want from me.

I'll take my clothes off.

You want to touch me?

You can touch me.

Yeah, you like that?

You want to see more?

You can see more.

Is that what you want?

You want me to take my clothes off?

You want to touch me?

You can touch me.

Is that what you want?

It's just a couple of days.

It's three nights.

Four days.

Movie you auditioned for today,

where does it shoot?

Um, in Colombia.

The country?

No, the city, in Missouri.

Is it a slasher film?

They're, what, meth addicts?

Zombie meth addicts on icicles?

Please tell me you're not running around naked,

screaming and crying.

You're hiding your body from me?

Beth.

You know, there's a hundred art films.

If you want mine, I can download right now,

where you had your fucking clothes off.

You know that, right?

What about it?

Are you getting naked again, or what?

I don't know.

I didn't read the whole script.

You want me to cancel my trip?

No.

I'm sorry.

I'm a jerk.

I just feel like a bad friend.

Hey, stop talking like that.

You're a good friend.

The two of you will go away, have a nice time.

It'll be good for you.

What?

I like Anna.

No you don't.

I do.

You think she's a bully.

She's a little intense.

Just, the whole career obsession thing.

I just don't know if it's such a great influence

for you to be around, that's all.

But I like Anna.

You're a terrible liar.

You are.

Maybe that's why I trust you.

You trust me?

Mm-hmm.

Big mistake. Big mistake.

Hey.

Hmm?

Sorry for the way I talked to you before.

It wasn't nice.

Wish it didn't bother me so much, but it does.

I'm sorry.

I mean, do you think that I like to take my clothes off

in a room full of hot lights and total strangers?

If you don't, why do you do it?

What's this?

The guy who gave me the estimate said my spark plugs

were misfiring or something?

Right.

Well, also, there was a problem with your oxygen sensor,

but, don't worry, we took care of that for you.

Oh, you did.

Okay, what are you doing right now?

Ma'am?

Are you lying to me?

Because the guy who gave me the estimate

didn't say anything about any oxygen sensor.

He said my spark plugs were misfiring.

Well, ma'am.

I apologize if that's the case, but...

What?

What do you mean, if?

I assure you that's the case.

Well, I apologize for the confusion, but...

there is no confusion.

The guy who gave me the estimate didn't say anything

about any, what, fucking oxygen sensor.

Well, ma'am, the fact of the matter

is that oxygen sensor has malfunctioned fairly frequently.

Oh, I bet they do.

I take pride in running an honest business,

so I apologize if some mistake was made here...

okay, now you keep saying if.

A mistake was made.

A mistake was definitely made.

Ma'am, there's no need to raise your voice here.

No?

I show up here expecting to pay for one repair,

and there's an extra charge for 300 fucking dollars

slipped in that I know absolutely nothing about?

Okay, there is no need for that kind of language,

ma'am.

Okay, well $300 is a lot of fucking money to me,

so you'll excuse me if I don't appreciate the fact

that you're trying to fucking steal it from me.

I'm doing no such thing.

Oxygen sensors fail all the time.

If you've got a broken one and you don't repair it,

your car's gas mileage is gonna drop, and over time,

it's gonna cost you a lot more.

No, no, no.

That's not the point.

The point is it wasn't in the estimate.

Even if you're telling the truth, I didn't approve

of the repair.

That's all that matters.

Well, ma'am, normally I would give the customer

the benefit of the doubt, but the fact is,

I really don't like your attitude.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You don't like my attitude?

That's right.

I mean, if you were a touch more ladylike.

Are you fucking kidding me?

This is your fucking problem, not mine.

I wasn't there.

I don't know who said what.

Oh, you're just absolving yourself

of any responsibility now?

Fine.

You know what, I'm not gonna stand here and argue

with a fucking criminal.
