Jimmy Hollywood Page #3

That's why I want to get him.

l mean, you know, it shouldn't be.

-You still scared? You all right?

-Yeah.

Be careful with my heart.

-Huh?

-Be careful with my heart.

Self-promotion.

That's what it's about.

You can't rely on agents.

Do it yourself. That's what I say.

You'll see, those calls

are going to start coming in.

You can bank on it.

Then, with the contacts I make,

you become

Lorraine De la Pena,

haircutter to the stars.

Yeah, but in the meantime,

are you going to get a job, Jimmy?

-Im working on it. Im working on it.

-Okay.

-You're handsome.

-Yeah? Well, you know what they say.

The camera can only photograph

what it sees.

Not bad.

-What you doing out here, man?

-Hey. Jimmy Alto. Mr. Meyerhoff sent me.

Oh, yeah, right. Yeah. Come on in.

I been out there since 6:30.

What time you open?

You ought to get the coffee going

'cause about 7:
00, they're gonna be in here.

Right.

You know how to

work one of these things, right?

-Yeah, sure.

-All right. Cool. Go on to it, then.

-So, Mr. M tell me you an actor, huh?

-Right.

Yeah. I seen you in anything?

You ever see that show Matlock,

the role of Cliff?

You was on that show?

No. I was up for the role of Cliff.

-You was up for the role?

-Yeah, I was up for the role.

Let me tell you something

about this business, okay?

Between you and me, and it goes no further.

No problem.

I gave a hell of a reading for that part,

but I think they felt

I was a little too strong for Andy Griffith.

Really?

I blew Andy Griffith off the screen.

I mean that's how strong I am.

You understand?

I mean, I know this guy. I had that part, too.

But, you know,

there's a lot of politics involved...

-Yeah, lots of it.

-...and not necessarily how good you are.

And Im a little intimidating, you know?

-Im so strong, I intimidate other actors.

-Well, you know, man,

I just thought

they wanted to get the best actor.

You know, that's what I thought.

Its not always about talent.

I hear that.

So, man,

you know what you're doing here, right?

-Stack up about a half dozen of these.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You good to go, right?

You know how to do this, right?

I did this in a Broadway show.

-You was on Broadway, man?

-Well, off-Broadway.

Off-Broadway?

Off-off-Broadway, but they're all the same.

-People don't understand.

-I hear you. I hear you.

Well, you know what?

Im going to go off-off-Broadway.

-Let's get this cooking started. All right?

-All right.

-You good to go, right?

-I got it.

All right.

I think there's something wrong

with the button.

Well, why don't you try

the off-off-Broadway button?

Id like a half a cup of coffee.

I only wanted half a cup of coffee.
