Ninja Girl: The Lightning Orb Page #2

Now all we've got to do

is hire some birds.

Jim, this side.

Jim!

Come on, birds!

Some free food!

Come and get it!

Come on!

Free food!

Aw.

Ha ha ha.

Sh*t.

Oh, oh, oh.

Never did meet

a gull I liked.

Vulgar kind of bird.

Is it true the old

fool has hired some girl

nobody's ever heard of?

Well, the birds

are the stars.

Anyway, he'll get another

blonde for the next one.

Is he in?

Evan, you can't

just...

A 7-year contract?

Her inexperience

is an asset.

She has nothing

to unlearn.

God.

Also, she's

unattached,

so she won't get pregnant.

I do hate it when

actresses get pregnant.

See, I thought

you were kidding.

As is well known, I have

no sense of humor whatsoever.

She's a model,

for Christ's sake!

And you're a novelist

writing a screenplay.

So you've given me a lot

of scenes that don't work.

Fundamentally undramatic,

and we still

don't have an ending.

OK.

I get it.

Tippi Hedren isn't

the only dumb blonde

on this picture.

Those finches came down

that chimney in fury,

as if they wanted everyone

in the house dead.

Those finches

came down that chimney...

Those finches came down

that chimney in fury,

as if they wanted everyone

in the house dead.

So the camera

finds Melanie Daniels

behind the birdcage.

With a mischievous

grin on her face.

Now, the trick of it is,

you stand there,

I point a camera at you,

I cut the shots

together,

and then the audience

does the work...

in here.

Do less?

Do nothing.

So let's try scene

The camera

holds her face.

Action.

Those finches came down

that chimney in fury,

as if they wanted

everyone in the house dead.

Just... just bring

your voice down...

down at least 3

notes.

Mm-hmm.

Take a deep breath, and then

say the whole of that speech

without taking

a breath.

Those finches came

down that chimney in fury,

as if they wanted

everyone in the house dead.

See? Acting's

not so hard.

I usually go for something

a little less pink.

I like this color. I

want you to wear it every day.

It won't suit

any of my clothes.

You'll be getting

new ones.

And not too much

mascara.

I want a natural

face... groomed, ladylike.

A soft glow

to reflect the light.

Not losing weight,

are you?

Mom!

Oh, it's beautiful!

Now as you see, there's

a chaise longue...

And chairs.

Now, you'll be sharing

this dressing room

with 4 other

young starlets.

Oh, now...

now where have they disappeared

to, those naughty girls?

It's all mine?

Oh, Hitch, I don't

know what to say.

Just two little

words.

Thank you.

And yes.

Yes to a glass

of champagne.

Oh, Lord, I haven't

even had breakfast yet.

Later, then.

Come for cocktails

at the house.

I'll send a car.
