Cut Shoot Kill
1
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
- 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?
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 b*tch.
No! B*tch!
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
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
How many of these shorts
have you done?
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
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
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?
F*** you.
All right?
And just have fun, you know,
f***ing all those guys
up there...
- Excuse me?
- ...or whatever you do.
When you did
I stayed out of your way.
- Okay.
And who knows who
you were f***ing up there.
I was f***ing 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.
F*** 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
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.
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, f*** yeah.
I play Greg from Kansas City,
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
Did you?
No.
But I'm just saying that
you must've done something
