Born to Be Blue Page #2

I trust what you're doing,

let you play your music.

This movie is going to re-launch

your career, Chettie.

Jane.

- Hey, Nick.

- What's wrong?

- I don't know. I mean,

do you think it's working?

- I think it's great

what the two of you are doing.

The improvisation

is fantastic.

- L-I need to know more

than just

that I'm playing the women

of Chet Baker.

- And you're doing it

brilliantly.

It's-look, ask him.

It's his story.

- All I know is

that they have big tits.

It's like-it's not a lot

to go off of.

- Well, it's-it's his story.

Ask him.

- Nick, you coming?

- They did have big tits.

- Hang on a second.

- We'll talk about

this Monday, okay?

- Okay. Sounds good.

- Okay?

- All right.

- Okay, big scenes.

Europe next week. Ciao.

- Don't be insecure

about your tits.

Your tits are great.

- Okay, so the script.

Uh, I don't understand why

these women would stay with you.

- You don't understand that?

- No, don't get it.

- Well, maybe we should go out

to dinner

and get some real food

and talk-

- What, are you saying

that I ain't real, mister?

- I'm saying that maybe you need

to get deeper into character.

- Yeah, I don't date actors

I'm working with, Chet.

I already told you that.

- Yeah, but I'm not an actor.

- Yeah, that's for sure.

- No, we can get together,

and we can do

those Kazoon exercises.

- It's Kazan, you dummy.

- Hey, listen, I don't care.

We'll just rehearse

while we eat.

You know, we could order in

if we want.

You know everything about me,

and I don't even know

your last name.

- It's on the call sheet

every day.

- It is'?

- Mm-hmm.

- Were you-

can I wipe this thing?

- What, I got food on my face?

- Beauty mark.

No, you're prettier

without it.

Come on; let's go out,

have some laughs.

- You don't strike me

as funny.

- I'm funny.

What's heavier,

a full moon or half moon?

A full moon,

because it's lighter.

- Not so good.

- That's not funny?

- No.

- I have better material.

Top-shelf stuff.

- Azuka.

- What's that mean?

- It's my last name.

It's African,

and it means "past glory."

II:

- No.

- You're not following through.

Now just-all right,

all right, all right.

Just lay it out there.

Okay, well, that's

another goose egg for you.

- Come on!

You are really competitive.

- I guess they didn't teach you

about bowling

back there at acting school?

- Very funny.

I was supposed

to be an academic, actually,

like my parents

and my brothers.

- But then what happened?

- Oh, i fell in love
