Road to Nowhere Page #2

Why don't you guys continue

working on the script...

and I'll go outside

and varnish the deck?

Hey, can I borrow

your bathroom?

Yeah. Yeah, you bet.

It's just

It's right back there.

Thanks.

The real Velma Duran died

fighting oppression in Cuba.

Someone should

make that movie.

If there was another way,

I would never ask.

But if someone

identified Velma,

they'd kill all

the Duran family in Cuba.

I've been

a public official long enough.

I think it's time

to get out of Dodge.

Nathalie Post, Thursday, September 5.

Remember, you saw it here first.

Talk of Rafe Taschen's

insider land deals...

has gone from a whisper

to a state capitol roar.

A $100 million roar.

The dew may be falling

off the rose of the dashing politico's dreams.

Certainly there is that

initial ice-breaker...

when Jack Nicholson walks on the set and

you have your first scene with him.

You really--

You don't know what to think.

Uh, DiCaprio?

Do you think

he'd really do this?

What it does is,

it affects your char--

Well, I take it back.

Okay, maybe, you know,

with a little make-up he could play Taschen.

Did we already

pass on him? Yeah. We did.

And he took

another picture.

Why didn't you hire him?

I just can't cast someone

because they're famous...

and would make my movie

a lot of money.

Miss Graham?

Oh!

Welcome.

Welcome.

Thank you

for coming so far. Okay, yes.

- Hi. This is beautiful.

- Yes, yes. Your trip was good?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

You know, I never received a script.

No.

There isn't a script.

By the way,

I'm Rafe Taschen,

and this is your father,

Nestor Duran.

Nice to meet you.

So I'm playing your daughter.

No.

You are his daughter.

S. De verdad.

Okay.

Sure, yeah.

Ah, yeah, uh, we'll go up to the pool,

we'll have a cooling drink...

and I'll explain to you

what the job entails.

All right.

What's the catch?

Why are you guys

paying me so much?

- It's too much.

- Well, there is an element of risk involved.

What does

"too much" mean...

if it's for

someone you love?

They're all planets.

They only reflect light.

You could finance 1 0 movies

just with these head shots.

We'll find her. If we screw up

the casting of Velma Duran,

we don't have a movie.

It's an audition

that Candace sent over.

Some girl who only did

one exploitation film.

Okay.

Oh, God.

She's unbelievable.

Hey, you haven't seen my level

around here, have you?

We've gotta find out who she is

and get her in here for a meeting.

Out of all the head shots and rsums

and reels and meetings,

what made you pick

Laurel Graham?

Of all the gin joints in the world,

she had to walk into mine.

I think if I have

any talent at all, it's for recognizing talent.
