Eat Page #3

Synopsis: Novella McClure is like most struggling actresses in Los Angeles: she's in her early 30s, her fake name sounded cooler ten years ago, and she hasn't landed a role in three years. To top it all off, she's developed a disturbing habit of eating her own flesh. Novella desperately tries to hide her strange condition from her motherly landlord, Eesha, and somewhat psychopathic best friend, Candice, but her body and mind continue to deteriorate in the depressing world of failed auditions and sketchy night clubs. Can a romantic relationship with her psychiatrist prevent her from self destruction? Or will her fatal habit continue to eat away at her?

Oh, well I'm

not sure, but he's

A really great photographer

and film maker.

Where's it based out of?

I think he said San Fernando.

Look sweetie, I'm not stupid.

No thanks.

I'm sorry, did I

say something wrong?

I don't do porn.

What?

This is not my first

audition, I've been

Doing this for a while now.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Any modeling company

that doesn't tell you

The name of the company

is a porn company.

No it's not.

Then what's the name of it?

Well, I don't remember.

Have you seen his work?

Well, no but I've

been dating the guy

For a few weeks,

and I think that...

Ah, see there you go.

He knows that you're

interning here

And asked you to collect

headshots and sh*t, right?

Yeah, but it's

not a porn company.

Has he asked you to audition?

Yeah, but that'd...

You see, there you go.

Stop it, he doesn't

do porn, okay?

Besides, you're the

one with the porn name.

What the hell does that mean?

Well maybe the reason

people keep trying

To cast you in their

porn movies is because

Of your stupid name.

It's not stupid.

What, was Laura Lust

taken or something?

A porn name is your

pet's name, and the street

You grew up on.

Do you really think I'd

name my cat Novella?

Oh f*** me, are you serious?

Be sure to grab her

headshot, she'd love to

F*** your boyfriend on camera.

Excuse me?

F*** off, Tracy.

Uh!

Hi, I'm Tracy Armstrong.

Did you need me to sign in?

Oh sh*t!

F***!

Dammit.

(Novella breathed raggedly)

(Knocking)

God dammit!

Oh, hi Novi, how are you?

Eesha can you come back

another time, this isn't

Really a good time.

Well, I just don't know

how to tell you this.

What is it?

Oh sh*t.

Novi, I have been

trying to tell you this

For three months to pay your

rent but you haven't paid.

I know Eesha, it's not

your fault, it's mine.

I'm sorry, look, I'll

get you a check, okay?

I'm up for a big role

and I'm pretty sure

I'm gonna get the part.

Novi, you have been

saying that since February,

And so far you haven't

paid your rent, you know

I hate doing this.

I know it, I just...

Oh Novi, no look,

don't start crying.

What happened?!

I was in a car accident.

And I had to get a,

a car, a rental car

Just to, I had to get a

rental car to come home

And then go to my audition,

and now I'm being evicted

And I don't have any

money, and I just

Don't have any place to stay.

Okay wait, don't,

don't cry, listen,

Don't worry, look,

look, just sit here

And we'll take care

of your hand, okay?

I'll go get some cleaner.

(Ominous background noise)

(Heart monitor beeping)

Good morning, how

are you feeling?

You've been out all night.

The medication should make you
