Loitering with Intent Page #2

We're doing rewrites,

we're swamped, you know, we can't.

This money goes away in two weeks, we don't

have to jump through any hoops with them.

- I just need to see the script.

- I'm gonna be honest with you.

Look I get you guys, I always have.

I can give you ten days, that's it. But we're

meeting with other writers, so get it to me.

How you gonna get out of this.

We don't even know aunt Carrie.

I auditioned for her once.

- You can't write a script in ten days.

- Yes, but we can.

We, together.

Come on, we've been

talking about doing this for years.

I have an idea.

What do writers do?

They go to the country.

We'll go to the country. To my sister's house.

We'll have it all to ourselves.

Peace, quiet, no distractions...

Let's just get there, get down, and do it.

Photosynthesis baby.

Oh, I forgot how

peaceful it is in the country.

Nature will flip you, Dominic.

Flip you for real, remember that.

Yeah!

Police activity,

people. stay back.

- Dominic, grab the bags.

- Oh, yeah.

That's very cute.

Very cute.

To Gigi's country manor.

Starting tomorrow,

I think we should cleanse it out.

No booze.

I saw this documentary on Ingmar Bergman

- at the Film Forum.

- I love the Film Forum.

He said the demons want you to

stay in bed with cold feet.

So the first thing he does is he gets up

in the morning and he takes a walk.

And then he writes.

You want some gross character of a woman!

That means power makes you more masculine,

and masculine means you're ugly.

Well shame on you, you macho shithead!

All right, f*** this.

Eureka!

Yes, that's it!

It's a simple missing persons case.

Gets more evolved when we find the girl.

- Recognize!

- It's a character piece,

- masked as a noir,

- Wonderful.

Wonderful, wonderful!

Maybe a dubonnet with a twist.

It's a secret!

Corruption that echoes the

world in which they live.

Yes, uh, dark shame.

It could be a double cross.

Could be, a double cross.

- Genius!

- Yeah!

Maybe she joins a group,

a cult, like the Source Family.

A cult could be fun.

It's a period piece,

but maybe we make it a mash up.

Set in Los Angeles over a 24 hour sequence.

Some dialog, dancing but heavy,

like The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

- I love that movie.

- Okay, so, dancing...

- In a noir.

- Yep.

That's good, right,

we haven't seen that! That's good.

Okay, so, she...

Who's... who's that?

That's what I wanna know.

- Hello.

- Hi.

How you doing?

- You must be Dominic.

- How do you know who I am?

I've seen pictures of you.

Er... Where?

In Gigi's store. I used

to work there, I'm Ava.

Oh, yeah. How is it

we've never met?

- I guess we've just never seen each other.
