Forgetting the Girl Page #3

of the museum,

and you're looking

at another painting...

a calculation of colors,

abstract and meaningless, but beautiful.

So beautiful.

Just waiting for you...

if you just walk through.

Hi.

Uh, my name's Kevin Wolfe.

I'm a studio photographer.

I do head shots, $300 a digital set.

Prints are extra.

You've probably

seen my flyers...

all over the city?

No? Sounds like you've said

that a few times before.

Yeah,

I think I even say it in my sleep.

Well, I mean, it's okay

if you haven't seen 'em.

It's probably not something

you'd pay attention to anyway.

I mean, unless, of course, you know,

you wanted to get head shots, right?

I mean, are you, uh, an actor?

Yeah, uh,

actually, I need some.

Yeah?

I'm Beth.

Beth, uh...

Beth Dalewell.

Beth Dalewell.

Are you, uh, enjoying

the play so far?

Yeah. Uh, so far

it's all right.

Just all right?

Yeah.

I don't know.

It's kind of embarrassing, isn't it?

I mean, the guy's walking around in

white tights pretending to be a swan.

I don't know. We're actually

supposed to believe he is one.

Yeah.

Did... Did you produce it

or something?

Oh, no. No, no, no.

I mean...

I did the head shots

for someone in that cast.

Yep. And plus,

I'm just a fan of the theater.

Oh, f***.

I can't believe I just said that.

"I'm a fan of the theater."

"The theater."

I'm sorry.

I'm just an idiot.

No, you're...

you're funny.

I'm funny? What do you...

What do you mean?

I don't know. You're just...

You're just funny.

So...

Are you, um,

coming from Kevin's?

Uh, yeah.

Just picking up some head shots.

Photos.

Are you an actress?

I'd like to be.

What do you do?

Nothing.

Really?

I'm sort of the...

the landlord.

Oh.

I feel like I'm just like this

worthless piece of sh*t...

that, like, exists in the world

for absolutely no reason.

And, like, I should just essentially be

dead, and everyone would be happier.

Like everyone else

has a reason to be alive,

and I'm just, like,

this worthless failure that has no... point.

Okay, Jamie.

James. Listen.

I look in the mirror,

and I'm just like...

I just feel like I'm so ugly and hideous,

and I...

Jamie, listen. You're not hideous, Jamie.

You're not ugly at all.

Will you... Will you stop

being so negative?

Why don't you try

being positive?

Think about... Think about anything.

I know, Derek.

I know it is your job

to talk me down, okay?

And...

I'm not gonna

drink anything, okay?

And thank you, you know?

Thank you.

You're like my only friend

in the entire world,

and that is why I call you,

because you're nice, you know?

You're a very, very,

very nice sponsor.

I'm really gla...

Can you hold on?

I have another call.
