Queen of the Lot Page #2

Synopsis: An electronic ankle bracelet and being under house arrest aren't about to stop up-and-coming actress Maggie Chase (Tanna Frederick) from the two things she craves the most: real fame and true love. With more "Google points" than her Iowa hometown, but far less than Angelina Jolie, Maggie is desperate to claw her way off the B-list of action/adventure pictures and into major movie stardom. With a team of handlers (Ron Vignone, Diane Salinger, David Proval and Zack Norman) to spin her recent drunk driving arrests into tabloid gold and bad-boy movie star boyfriend Dov Lambert (Christopher Rydell) on her arm, Maggie's star is on the rise. Things get complicated when a trip home to meet Dov's legendary family introduces Maggie to the world of Hollywood Royalty (Kathryn Crosby, Mary Crosby, Peter Bogdanovich, Dennis Christopher and Jack Heller) and to her boyfriend's brother Aaron Lambert (Noah Wyle), the black sheep of the family, a failed writer who can actually see who Maggie really is be

Why wouldn't you mention

if a guy like Dov...

- I don't...

- ...is in your card game?

Why wouldn't you say something

about it?

CAESAR:
Cause it's my card game,

it's my life, that's why.

- Would you stop?

- Oh, bullshit.

So I wanted to know if it's okay

if I move into the main bedroom?

Just for this month.

I mean, I'm used to having

a lot of space,

and if you guys wouldn't mind,

then I'd be willing to pay

your mortgage for you.

For this month.

And you guys can sleep

in the guest house.

- Great. Perfect for me.

- What?

The guest house. We're going

to sleep in the guest house.

Okay?

You don't understand?

There's such a thing

as generosity...

- We'll be delighted to do that.

- Well, wait a second.

You guys are so nice to me.

HILDI:
What do you want?

MAGGIE:
Right now,

or in general?

What do you want,

there's only right now.

Like, what?

HILDI:
Shush,

just think about it.

There's only the present

moment right now.

You want to know

how to get happy?

- MAGGIE:
Yeah.

- You see that?

You stay in the moment,

right now.

- Right now?

- HILDI:
Right now!

- That's the stuff...

- Okay.

HILDI:
Where are you right now?

Yum Yum Donuts.

- Yum Yum Donuts?

- MAGGIE:
Yeah.

That's what you think of

this moment right now?

MAGGIE:
It's the first thing

that came to my mind.

Alright, when did you

have that feeling?

When did you experience

Yum Yum Donuts?

When I was living here

in North Hollywood.

Okay.

- Were you happy then?

- (LAUGHING)

- MAGGIE:
Yes.

- Yes!

So when you get depressed,

when you get scared,

when you want to take a drink,

when you get really afraid,

you go to the Yum Yum Donuts.

Isn't it absolutely

breathtaking?

I used to dream of having

a place just like this

all to myself

when I first came up here.

And now it's mine

for a little bit.

Wouldn't you like to have

a place like this for us?

DOV:
Why would I want

a place like this,

when I have my own place?

MAGGIE:
Why do you have to leave

and go to another game tonight?

'Cause there's donkeys there,

fish, degenerates.

MAGGIE:

What are fish and donkeys?

Fish and donkeys are losers,

people that give

their money away.

I think I'm going gray

from all my stress.

Why do they call them

fish and donkeys?

People that give their

money away are called fish.

That's why you go to a game.

They're idiots, the people

just show up to play the game.

They don't know how to play.

They're like masochists.

You know people that just like...

they make a bunch of money

and they want to lose.

- They're just losers.

- George Cuhort said

that they should

just let her go.

That she wasn't too big,

that she could never be too big,

and the only way
