Body Double Page #2

you ready for some good news?

Yeah. I got this five-week gig.

Seattle Rep's doing a revival

of Private Lives.

I've been house-sitting

for a friend.

I've been looking for a sublet.

Wait. I'll make a phone call.

Don't move.

Oh.

Do you like plants?

Sure.

I can't believe this.

Something, isn't it?

Be it ever so humble.

This is unbelievable.

I know it's not much.

I've never seen anything like it.

Your friend must be loaded.

He's filthy with the stuff.

Here they are.

Water them daily after 6:00.

Daily after 6:
00.

This is really nice of you.

One struggling actor helping another.

That's what it's about, right?

Just don't let the plants die.

Right. Where is he, anyway?

Alan's in Europe a lot.

You got a well-stocked bar,

rotating bed,

sauna and Jacuzzi

beyond the walk-in closets.

After I leave,

you can put your stuff away.

You're leaving now?

Yeah. I, uh...

I got time for one more drink

before my flight.

Man, what a setup.

This is great.

Isn't it?

Thank you.

Here's to a friendship I hope...

Wait, wait.

Let's do this right. Come here.

To Hollywood.

Yeah, to Hollywood.

What a view, huh?

Mmm!

That's just part of it.

There is one...

very special feature to this house.

What are you looking at?

Where are you?

There she is!

Show time!

Jake, I'd you to meet

my favorite neighbor.

Okay.

See her?

Whoa.

Whoa!

It gets better.

When?

What's she doing?

You'll see. Get closer.

You bet.

Holy cow.

She's a little out of focus.

Yes, yes, yes!

Hang on.

Does she do this a lot?

Like clockwork. Every night.

Every night?

Jesus.

What do you think?

Something, isn't it?

Lady does that every night.

Did you see her face?

No.

She is gorgeous.

Oh, sh*t. I got to go.

Can I help?

All right.

Don't forget your scarf.

Here's the key.

Avoid making

too many long-distance calls.

Thanks again.

You're doing me a favor, too.

Knock 'em dead!

They're already dead in Seattle.

So long!

My, my

Uh-oh

The house is burning

But there's no one home

Hmm.

Jesus!

Bastard.

Where were you?

I've called all over.

I'm sorry, Frank.

I'm having problems with Carol.

I'm staying at a friend's house.

You got more problems.

Rubin fired you.

You don't have a job.

He said, "artistic differences."

What happened?

Nothing. How can he do that?

They're doing it now.

Maybe I should talk to Rubin.

They've already hired another guy.

How do you know?

He's my client.

Bring him up.

You're loving every minute of it.

You're getting ready to take a chunk out.

Hands down.

Good...

Cut! Cut.

You said you'd give me another chance.

I got 25 days to make this picture.

I got no time

to f*** with

a claustrophobic vampire.
