The Girlfriend Experience Page #5

Synopsis: Chelsea (Sasha Grey) is a high-priced $2,000-an-hour call girl in Manhattan, offering a 'girlfriend experience': she'll dress with the client in mind, go to dinner and a movie, listen attentively to talk about work and finances, and she'll provide sex. It's October, 2008: a presidential election nears and the economy is in free fall. She has a boyfriend, Chris (Chris Santos), who's a personal trainer. We are shown five non-consecutive days in Chelsea's life. She's working on her Web page, talking to image consultants, and being interviewed by a reporter. She asks clients when their birthdays are and uses that for an astrological prediction. She's drawn to a new client, a writer from L.A. Should she break her rules for him? What if it risks her relationship with Chris? Should she invest in gold?

and could take you

to the next level.

What exactly does he want?

What exactly does he do?

What differentiates you

from those other women

is what's gonna make these

other businesses grow for you.

So I do understand it,

but I just wanted to say that.

Besides that,

there's other things.

There's so many things

that you can do

that will allow you to

continue having your anonymity,

but you can continue

to grow your business.

Here's an example--

do you really think

some woman would want to take

her 16-17-year-old daughter

to my boutique if they

knew I was an escort?

If it was a sex boutique

and it was a couple,

that'd be a different story, but

that's not what I'm interested in.

I'm not trying to be

insensitive to that. I get that.

I'm just trying to

make sure you understand

there's an opportunity lost if

you don't take advantage of that.

In what other ways could

I do that where I'm safe?

Well, like, you

could write a book.

We could do a movie

about your life.

Right now

that's really hot.

People are making

movies like that.

There's Tara right there.

Tara.

Sugar!

- Darling, how are you?

- How are you?

Very well.

Good to see you.

- This is Chelsea.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.

I have to get out of here.

Thanks for lunch.

- It was nice to see you.

- You too.

We have about 20 minutes.

Want to grab a quick drink?

- I'd love a drink right now.

- Let's do it.

- So how was your flight?

- It was good.

- Where are you staying?

- I'm staying over at the "W."

Yeah, it's really

depressing.

Well, you know, you're

successful, you're very creative.

I'm sure there's plenty

more opportunities

- in front of you--

- Yeah, I know, I know.

I know, but it's--

I don't really want

to talk about it,

But it's just

bad out there.

I mean, if I--

You know, two holes in the ground

that were gonna be buildings,

now the banks have--

you know, it's just a bad time.

I have a big office.

But that's just--

it's why I'm a little...

I don't

want to leave.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Here.

You can just

put that right there.

Thank you.

Um...

I haven't seen you

in almost two weeks now.

- Yeah, that's a long time, right?

- I know. God.

- It's good to see you.

- It's good to see you, too.

How long have I

been coming here?

Two and a half

years...?

God... Two

and a half years.

- It's not that long.

- It's not that long?

No.

Feels like a--

feels like...

Doesn't feel

like a long time.

It's been fun,

But it feels like you're a

big part of my life, you know?

I look up and suddenly

you're a big part of my life.

I'd like

to think so.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

You have a lot

of makeup on today.

- Do I?

- Yeah.
