Greenberg Page #3

Synopsis: We like Florence: she's considerate, sweet, pretty, and terrific with kids and dogs. She's twenty-five, personal assistant to an L.A. family that's off on vacation. Her boss's brother comes in from New York City, fresh from a stay at an asylum, to take care of the house. He's Roger, a forty-year-old carpenter, gone from L.A. for fifteen years. He arrives, doesn't drive, and needs Florence's help, especially with the family's dog. He's also connecting with former band-mates - two men and one woman with whom he has a history. He over-analyzes, has a short fuse, and doesn't laugh at himself easily. As he navigates past and present, he's his own saboteur. And what of Florence? is Roger one more responsibility for her or something else?

Yeah, sorry.

l'm not sure

about these pants.

They look flarey to you?

No, l think

that's the style.

(SlGHS) l feel like

l should have

worn jeans.

No one's going

to be dressed up

at this thing.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Fabula and l are on

this trial separation.

Oh. Uh-huh.

lt's a lot to go into.

l feel terrible

for Victor, you know.

l'd love you to meet him.

He's like

a little person now.

Yeah, l saw him

a few years ago.

Yeah, but now he's eight.

He's like a friend.

He's fun to hang out with.

l'm glad you're here, man.

lt's good for me to

get out like this.

Want to put your blinker on?

IVAN:
Casa de Beller.

Keep going. Keep going.

Keep going.

What a f***ing nightmare.

Maybe we can park here.

No, no, no. Let's go home.

l shouldn't have let

you talk me into this.

lt's a nightmare here.

lt's this kind of sh*t. . .

l can't find a movie

l want to go to

in the f***ing multiplex,

or when l'm in Starbucks,

l hear music l actually like.

But we drove all

the way out here.

Let's have one drink.

(ROGER SlGHS)

(POP MUSlC PLAYlNG)

Hey, man.

Johno.

Hey, Greenberg,

You know. . .

Hey, Beth.

Oh, my God. Hey.

Should l know?

Are you really

big or something?

No, Megan.

you were out here.

l wasn't.

(lN HlGH-PlTCHED VOlCE)

How is Lenny?

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, dude, or what about

Your Grandma's P*ssy?

lt's like Anaconda,

with seven cards down.

l'm fair to middling.

You know.

Leonard Maltin would give me

two-and-a-half stars.

l haven't seen you since,

probably, like 1 0 years ago.

ln his movie guide.

Yeah, l think it was

actually Matt Levy's wedding.

l'm all shits

and giggles today.

Yeah. l think you'll find

l'm pretty much all shits.

lt's sad about Matt Levy.

Yeah.

Wait, what happened?

Oh, you didn't hear.

He died.

(EXHALES)

JOHNO:
Texas Hold 'em is dead.

BELLER:
lt's dead.

You know,

makes your lips drier.

There's Beth.

BELLER:
She and Steven

are getting a divorce.

JOHNO:
They were

a cool couple.

Are any of those yours?

Yes, mine are the one

in the bumblebee costume

and the one in

the devil costume.

l think that's The Flash.

All the men out here

dress like children,

and the kids dress

like superheroes.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, sweet pea.

Come to think of it,

Steven's kind of a less

Jewish-looking version of you.

Less? l'm not even. . .

l'm only half.

Yeah,

but you're doing this.

What's. . .

l'm thinking small.
