...and dreams make stars.

How were you a**holes thinking? That

was the biggest crock of sh*t I ever saw!

Show's popular!

Bullshit!

OH, you guys, how did it go?

Honey, you were great!

- You were amazing, how do you feel?

You were incredible. -Good...

You absolutely nailed it. Did you hear her?

Did you hear what Marilyn said?

She said you blowed! You were perfect!

So Devon, this one's off limits, right?

Don't even think about it...

...If I don't kill you, her husband will,

and he is THE most powerful guy around.

He knows everything. There is not a

thing he does'nt know.

I can tell you stories that

would color your hair.

So listen to me when I tell you.

Around Nikki, keep it in your pants.

What the f*** are you guys

talking about?

She's a nice girl, she's so far

from my style, it's not even funny.

Beautiful, Devon. Great.

We'll be able to sleep tonight

You gotta admit though...

She's got a nice ass.

It's good.

- Goodnight guys!

- Goodnight, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

- OK.

- Bye!

- Let's go!

Good morning

Mrs. Grace.

Fantastic.

It all in the beans!

And I'm just full of beans!

Is that our set?

Yeah

It's not finished yet

There's Smithie's House.

Smithie's House.

I should have guessed you two professionals

would be here early and beavering away...

We're just laying about drinking capuccino.

Devon makes a great capuccino.

Care for one?

Thanks, but Prey and I just had a cup of tea.

Actually, it was a terrible cup of tea

at the commissary.

"Terrible" is an

adequate description of it.

Well, I thought since we're here

and Smithie site's been started...

We might go over some of the scenes

that take place there.

Not the love scene, of course, but some of

the earlier scenes

that indicate so beautifully your character.

Lets take, for instance,

scene 35...

...the scene where Devon...

you arrive,

...Billy, at Smithie's house to find Sue,

- Nikki- looking out the window.

I remember the scene

Well...

...we'll go through it...

...and then we'll maybe take it on

the set and plug it out as possible

I guess we should just jump right in?

- That would be jolly good.

- Ok

And, I'll start it off...

...on page 57.

Nikki, this is just a rough run-through

So don't be hard on yourself...

- I am expecting from you, an Academy Award

performance, right out of the gate, so...

Thanks, Devon.

Get going, please

I didn't think you'd be here...

No, of course you wouldn't

...that's because you...

what

what do you want?

I said some things last night

as you know.

Yeah.

And I want to apologize

- Apologize?

- Yeah.

The things you said weren't the truth?

I didn't say that

Were they the truth?
