The director's obsession with the actress who plays the sexy secret agent Dragonfly has clouded his judgment and the film has no ending.

I lost my job.

I need to find a camera.

No more borrowing film.

Need to conserve stock.

Stay on track.

Everything's changing,

becoming clearer.

I feel like it might be

all over with Marlene.

I need some time

to figure things out.

Maybe we should live apart

for a little while.

No. It's me. It's all me.

She'll slip into bed

without a word...

without even a hello.

Maybe a scowl...

and I'm going

to stop her this time.

I missed him.

Did you miss me?

Yes!

How was your day?

How was your day?

Don't get it. Let's kiss.

Hello? Hey, Pippo.

Really? What, right now?

OK, OK.

They fired everybody

this morning...

and now

they just hired me back...

and I have to go to meet

the new director.

You're going now?

Till the weekend.

I'm sorry.

Call them and tell them

you'll go tomorrow.

There's nothing I can do.

I just get back,

you f***ing ass!

Why are you leaving me

right now?

I'll make a nice salad for you.

I have to go.

I'm sorry. I'm going to cut.

Let's go again.

Can we get some more blood?

- Thanks for coming so quickly.

- Sure.

I'm glad you're still working

on the picture.

Do you know this young director,

Felix DeMarco?

Yeah, I met him before.

He's an ass. Over there.

You look very scary,

and action!

A certain number of virgins

must be given up to Satan.

I now give you to my master,

His Highness of Darkness...

where you will slumber forever

in the tomb of Satanic blood.

And... cut!

Print that one.

It was perfect, everyone.

Let's go to lunch.

Come on, baby.

You are getting better

and better every day.

Unbelievable.

- Enzo!

- Felix.

Follow me.

What this picture needs,

Felix, is you.

It needs youth,

and also... a better ending.

Felix, this is Paul.

He is the editor.

I know this guy.

How you doing?

You did sound on

the speedway picture, right?

I pulled cable for you.

I was awful at it, though.

Enzo, Paul's also done

the second unit on the picture.

Second unit.

That's fantastic.

Go ahead and tell Felix

the plot of the picture.

I would tell you myself,

but I'm lousy with English.

Go on.

It's a science fiction film

set in...

It's a good little idea, Felix.

You'll make it great.

Use the footage we have.

Cut here, cut there.

Add some action,

more of the girl. Very sexy.

I like it sexy, Enzo.

Keep telling the story.

- It's set in the future...

- The year is 2001.

We have one hell of a setup.

Real sexy stuff.

Go ahead, Paul. Go. Go.

There's a group

of revolutionaries...

hiding out on a moon base...

and there's only one answer.

Gentlemen, I want

to thank you for attending...

this emergency

security session.

This visual report

will illustrate our problem.
