Laurel Canyon Page #6

Synopsis: Newly graduated psychiatrist Sam and his fiancee Alex move to Los Angeles for Sam's residency and into Sam's mother's house in upscale Laurel Canyon. Only problem is, Sam's mother is still there, supposedly finishing up a record that she's producing for the band of her new boy toy, Ian. She seems more interested in smoking pot and drinking than actually working though. Alex doesn't mind but Sam is quite upset. Alex starts off focused on her work (finishing a dissertation on genomics), but is soon distracted by the rock-'n-roll lifestyle going on around her. Meanwhile, Sam is equally distracted by beautiful Israeli intern Sara.

- Get me a 511, fast...

Wyatt, sits down.

Sit down.

What the hell is a 511?

What the hell is that?

Is that a f***ing code?

Is that a prison code?

Is that a prison code?

Don't take me out!

Please, God!

Don't take me out!

Please, don't!

- Please don't take me out.

- It's alright.

I'm feeling a horse at the gallop.

The tempo's sh*t.

- Am I right?

- Yeah, it's sh*t.

No, no... Let's go into it.

It's gonna have texture,

you know like... like ooze.

sonic ooze.

Alright. Sonic ooze...

Okay baby, how about a horn insertion?

Perhaps "Tijuana Brass",

maybe. I heard Herb's in town...

No, let's not go patronising.

That's not patronising.

I was accommodating.

I was accommodating you.

Cause I'm a better

judge than you think.

Sweet. That's it,

That's the direction.

I've overplayed it.

No, it's not the bass. It's

how much you get straight on the beat.

- It should be faster.

- No, I know what she's doing. Sultry

She's going for romantic.

Is it that what

you're going for, Jane?

A love song?

Come on!

Let him go!

Those are mine.

- What are?

- Your tits.

You're such a prude.

Hello.

Hi.

- Am I interrupting?

- Absolutely not.

It is an unexpected pleasure.

We were just discussing romance.

Come on in.

Sit down, come on.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- Yeah.

Have a good night.

I really start to love this.

But it's dated, you know?

It's not dated, we just wrote it.

It doesn't even have a date on it yet.

- Why are you so contrary?

- Cause you wouldn't respect me otherwise.

- Do you think so?

- Babe, I Know so.

I love a man who speaks his mind.

Even when it's bullshit.

Hey stranger.

Hey you.

What time did you

come to bed last night?

I tried to wake up you.

- But you didn't move.

- I didn't feel anything.

How did it go yesterday?

With the apartments.

Good.

What's established?

I saw some a few things.

Most of them are pretty disgusting.

I think it's gonna take some time.

I'm sure that there was something

perfect in here, just ready to rent.

- So, how was work yesterday?

- Strange.

I had to deal with a 16 year-old bastard

having an ecstasy-induced psychotic episode,

and he thought I was Nazi.

Ironic.

- And upsetting.

- Yes, he was pretty upset.

This one looks good.

- Which one?

- This house.

In the Valley, on Greenleaf.

Right there.

- Were you in the studio for a long time?

- Nor not too long.

- Just taking a break?

- Yes.

Did you get much work done?

I think I'm pretty close to finishing.

No, on your dissertation.

Yes. It's going very well.

- Did you enjoy yourself?

- Where?

In the studio.

Yes, I did, actually.

It was stimulating.

Gee.

I don't know how you two

just think of getting up so early.
