For Your Consideration Page #5

- I get it.

If you get it, then you turn it up.

Look, I know my job is to translate

your vision into the real world, okay?

But the problem is, I don't see a vision.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Yeah, sure.

Do you know how tight my aperture is

right now? Have you any idea?

If you're being a smart-ass,

I'm gonna put you across my knee.

I want it to be bright.

It's bright. It's brighter than

Stephen bloody Hawking in here.

- Up, up, up. Just turn it up for me.

- All right. Fine.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- You're the boss. You're the boss.

- Whole way.

- That's all there is.

- There you go. Look at that. Lovely.

- I love this.

I love it because I look and I go,

"Hey, it's a room."

It's a sports stadium, is what it is now.

You're so European.

There's something about you

that's just foreign.

Have you ever been to--?

You travel a lot or...?

No, I've-- I haven't been

out of the United States, actually.

Who is your--?

Who is your acting coach again?

- Leonid Kazovskich.

- Oh, she's good.

- She's amazing.

- He, it's a he.

Wasn't she the one that made her students

have nervous breakdowns?

- He, and yeah.

- Oh, it was a he.

It wasn't really necessarily

a nervous breakdown...

...it was more of, you know,

he would just break you down.

- You know, get rid of everything.

- Well, they're--

- That's not the thing out here, is it?

- It's a breath of fresh air out here.

- It's really not.

- At least that's intense and real.

I mean, out here it's like

magazine people.

Here it's all soda pop and blue jeans.

Excuse me, guys. Fifteen minutes,

we'll be ready for you on set.

Could you instead of

referring to me as "guys"...

...could you refer to me by

my character name, Mary Pat?

- Sure.

- Great.

- Sure.

- That's great.

- I apologize.

- No, no. Apology accepted.

It helps me. I appreciate it.

Move that up about another 5 feet.

Yeah, straight on up. That's good.

- How's it going, mate?

- Good.

Excuse me. Sorry.

- So much food and nothing to eat.

- Yeah. Absolutely.

What waste.

Ever notice, like, a kind of

a weird smell around here?

It's like-- It's just in this area.

It's kind of a...

I don't know. Maybe it's me.

Well, my father would say,

"A fox smells his own hole first."

Simon...

...I need to ask you a question,

but I don't want the answer.

I'll ask it anyway,

but stop me if you can, all right?

Stop me. Stop me.

How does the film look?

No. Stop me again. How do I look?

- You didn't stop me.

- No. I can stop you now.

- You look absolutely amazing.

- Okay, good.

I'm sorry I asked.

I didn't mean to bother you.

- No, please.

- No, I mean...

That's enough. I don't need any--

That's good. I'm glad to hear it.
