- Ever done this before?

- No.

It's pretty easy.

There you go.

So, we finally meet.

I like what I see.

I have a mission,

which I intend to accomplish.

I love you.

I love you.

I'm so in love with you.

Do you love me?

I'm in love with you.

I love you.

That's OK.

Changing rolls. Sorry.

You have an eyelash right here.

If you blow on it,

you can make a wish.

I wish cats could talk.

You're not supposed to tell me.

It won't come true.

I'm sure it'll come true.

My cat's pregnant.

I wish I could talk to her.

- Can I get you to sign this?

- Sure.

You must be the director.

How exactly

you want me to do this?

With a lot of authority,

or maybe more playful?

Who is Dragonfly?

She's a super-sexy secret agent.

But that's top secret.

Dragonfly is coming.

- How do you like it? Good?

- It's great.

You hear me? One, two, three.

You hear me?

Dazzling? It's OK.

Dazzling is terrific.

Dragonfly is terrific.

- Everything else good.

- It's great.

Thank you. Thanks.

Just try them.

Where'd she go?

Out that way.

Who is Dragonfly?

Hi, Valentine.

Felix DeMarco, the director.

How are you?

Sorry I'm late.

I'm just... crazy.

Actually,

we already finished.

Oh, great.

Want to get a bite to eat?

Sure.

- Do you have any francs?

- Yeah. I do.

I'm fresh out.

I know a little great place.

Do you use The Method?

Do we have to do this now?

Yeah. That's the thing.

I have to do it,

even if I don't want to.

It's the only way

to be honest and real.

Have you seen my light meter?

You didn't tell me your father

was coming for Christmas.

I'm sorry. I forgot.

He's on a lecture tour.

Just be passing through

the airport for an hour or two.

Asked me to meet him there.

You never tell me anything.

What was the actress like?

She's a nice girl.

And?

Am I in frame?

Today is December 20th, 1969.

I have to stay focused.

Complete honesty.

Do you love me?

You know how I feel about you.

You just want me to say it

in front of my camera?

Why can't you just say it?

I sew your ripped pants.

I trip over your camera.

I love you, of course.

I just don't

want to run out of film.

What are you looking for?

What do you mean?

What is your biggest wish?

That cats could talk.

Something that girl said,

isn't it?

What are you talking about?

You're being silly.

I thought you had to be

totally honest in this film.

I am.

You're being ridiculous.

Who said that? That actress?

You want to sleep with her!

- Now, that's ridiculous.

- What is your problem?

I can't believe you!

I just don't understand!

We need to talk.

Hey, Paul.

Ready to go to the party?

Let me drive.

Did you pass

your driving test finally?
