That you call Robin Wright?

Will do all the things that

your Robin Wright wouldn't do.

Like what ?

Like all the movies that you missed [...]

because of your LOUSY choices.

You gave in, you gave up, you fled, you quit,

God knows what you did!

And you did it the last minute,

you clogged our productions

and you cost us MILLIONS!

How old are you?

What difference does it make how old I am,

if you're gonna create

me at any age at your computer! What difference

does it make to you if I am 16 or 60?

It doesn't.

I need Buttercup from "Princess Bride".

I need Jenny from "Forrest Gump."

I need a... what was her name?

from "A State Of Grace"?

That's what I need, I don't need you.

I need you only for your... for your history.

A history paid with lousy choices

you just said so yourself.

Yes. For the last 15 years, yes, sure.

[All your movies tanked, no-not one... ]

could keep it's head above water.

But I can save you, Robin.

I can save you.

- From what?

- From yourself! From yourself!

You knew about this?

Knew about what?

about all this crap he's offering me?

Oh, he doesn't know anything, he still thinks

that cameras run on bunker fuel.

On what?

A bunker fuel, that's crude oil.

Never mind. He is from the Stone Age.

Your career is almost over.

You fell off the Top-O

In the economy of scanned actors, um...

...you are not worth... 2 bucks.

We are at war, Robin.

Any actor who doesn't sign within

the next 6 months is dead. Gone.

Characters erased from the screen forever.

You'll be back on all fours,

begging me to sample you.

What is it that I have to do

to make that happen?

Nothing.

Just sign.

Half a day of scanning.

- That's it?

- That's it.

That and... you must agree to never act again.

Anywhere for all eternity.

What do you mean, "anywhere"?

No movies, no TV show,

no school plays, no French theater

in Western Australia?

"Anywhere" means Anywhere.

Robin Wright The Actress will live and breathe...

within the walls of Miramount Studios.

And this Robin Wright can take the money

and fly off to some island in Polynesia

to discover her true self.

Whadda you say?

You know, it's interesting. Um...

We actresses used to talk about how we never

wanted to sleep with you for a part

in the movie, but

but you know what? Honestly, I think

I'd rather do that...

than be a f***ing chip in your computer. [...]

So, thanks.

But, no thanks.

The offer is valid for 30 days.

After that, she's on her own.

[...], sweetie?

What's up?

I was tired, I guess.

You want to try and fly the Wright brothers' glider ?

No... she's not ready yet.

So maybe [...] the Cody's ?

I do not know.
