Welcome to Me Page #3

Synopsis: Alice suffers from borderline personality disorder, but she has what she needs in life. She has an apartment, she has a best friend, and she has tapes of every Oprah Winfrey show. And now, after winning the lottery, she also has 83 million dollars. What she doesn't have is an outlet for the whole world to know who she really is. The TV station cut her off when she tried turning her lottery announcement into a frank discussion of her sexual experiences, but with her money in hand, she's off to LA to convince two struggling TV producer brothers to produce her own TV show. Whatever it costs, she's going to do it. From swan entrances to dog neutering, she is going to introduce the world to Alice. But is the world ready for Alice?

Frank, pull away please.

Right, I mean, it's really bad. Well...

I'd like to get a volunteer

from the audience

to come taste my chocolate amaretto

smoothie with Live Alchemy.

Who's curious?

No, no. Come on.

Not the crazy b*tch. Gabe.

Who's game? You want to come up?

Right up here. Welcome. Yeah, it's good.

Thanks for being brave, yeah.

Very courageous of you.

Would you believe me?

Most people, they hear "algae"

and they say "yuck".

I'm not afraid of anything, Gabe.

Including success.

Oh, what's your name?

My name is Alice Klieg.

I watch you when I sleep.

What... what was that?

Is that so?

This is my second time on TV this week.

- Oh, your second time, really?

- Yes, Gabe.

I won the California Stack Sweepstakes.

Eighty-six million dollars.

I did a press conference that aired

on all of the stations in this area.

That's incredible. You are a lucky lady.

And we're lucky to have you here

to be our guinea pig to try...

- Winning has nothing to do with luck.

- It doesn't?

No. It's all mental training.

Dawn, what the hell?

Well, why don't you ask your brother?

He seems to be...

- Are we in control here or what?

- Not currently.

Oprah says that everything in our world

is created on a DNA level by what we think.

I thought I was a winner.

I won $86 million.

- All right, give me the word, Rich.

- Wait.

- That is just great.

- I didn't always think of myself as a winner.

When I was 16, I was diagnosed

with manic depression.

In my 20s, it was called

rapid cycling bipolar disorder.

Now it's just called

borderline personality disorder.

- Alice, maybe come back to your seat.

- No!

Now it's just called

borderline personality disorder.

Who can keep up?

For most of my life,

I let my diagnosis define who I was.

Big mistake.

At a certain point, I realized I had

to get back to me... before my illness.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my... Why are we following her?

I was a summer baby born in 1971

in Simi Valley, California.

And I've been using masturbation

as a sedative since 1991.

- We have to kill this, Rich.

- Okay, kill it.

- Kill it, please.

- My father was a commercial baker.

Introducing Essentis,

luxury hair care system

formulated with natural

and organic components...

Do you think she really won the lottery?

Seriously. Can someone Google that?

What was her name?

Oh, my God. Gabe, that was the best

experience of my whole entire life.

You didn't have to buy me out.

I need the protein.

Hey.

You must be the big winner.

Hi, I'm Rich.

Me, too.

I'm Gabe's brother.

- So, you own all of this?

- Gabe and I sure do, yeah.

- I have an idea for a show.

- What kind of show?

How about this?
