WALKIE (V.O.)
kkkkkssst... sttttss yes.
WANDA:
Is that a real lock-up?
WALKIE (V.O.)
ssssssssssssppppkkss.
WANDA:
OK, right away. Picture's up. Roll
sound.
SOUND:
Speed!
WANDA:
And, roll camera!
AC:
Rolling!
CLAPPER:
Scene six, take four.
(hits the sticks)
NICK:
Action.
INT. SET APT. THE SCENE: TAKE 4. COLOR
NICOLE:
Dad hit me first and knocked me down.
It didn't hurt that much but I started
crying anyway, hoping he would leave
me alone. He went over and started
hitting Danny.
CORA:
Ellen, I have no memory of this
whatsoever.
NICOLE:
You were just standing there looking
at me. Then you pulled --
Suddenly the BOOM drops into frame again.
INT. SET APT. DAY. B/W
WOLF:
Boom's in.
NICK:
Jesus Christ.
BOOM:
Where?
WOLF:
The whole left side of frame, Les.
WANDA:
Alright, can we please get a
motherfucking frame line please?!
BOOM:
WOLF:
That's the idea, Les.
SOUND:
May I make a suggestion? Is it
possible to maybe break the shot
down? Maybe two shots instead? Might
make it easier for Les.
NICK:
No.
SOUND:
Then I need ten minutes to switch to
radio mikes.
WANDA:
Your call, Nick.
NICK:
There won't be any other sound
problems?
SOUND:
No more boom problems.
NICK:
Switch to radios.
WANDA:
That's a ten-minute break. Release
the lock-up. Stand by.
WOLF:
(to the AC)
Get me a coffee. Half milk.
INT. SET APT. DAY. B/W
Nick looks for Nicole but sees only Cora standing by the
couch. Les has both arms up the back of her dress, running
the wire to her radio mike. She's wearing stockings rolled
down to just above her knees.
Nick turns and spots Nicole by herself in a dark corner of
the set and walks over to her.
INT. SET APT. A CORNER. DAY. B/W
NICK:
I'm sorry about all this, Nicole.
NICOLE:
It's not your fault, Nick. Is there
a way to use some of the earlier
takes?
NICK:
Not unless I change the shot; do a
cutaway of Cora or something and
intercut the takes. I don't want to
do that. It's a really nice shot and
what you're doing is incredible.
NICOLE:
Thanks, Nick.
NICK:
The radio mikes are going to make
everything easier. So, look. Take a
moment. Let all this sh*t go. We
don't roll till you're ready.
NICOLE:
OK.
Nick moves back to the set, leaving Nicole in the shadows.
Camera stays on her as she begins emotionally preparing
herself once again.
SCRIPT (V.O.)
How was she in that Richard Gere
movie?
CYBIL (V.O.)
So-so.
Camera slips halfway through an open bedroom door, holding
Nicole on one side of the frame while revealing PAM the Script
Supervisor and CYBIL sitting on the floor smoking. Though
separated by the wall, Nicole hears everything the two women
say.
SCRIPT:
Her career really took off, didn't
it?
