- Instant gratification takes too long.
I'll handle everything while
you're in here. No pressure.
I don't want anything
hanging over your head.
I want you to be absolutely clear.
do this and look at me.
I didn't want you to see me get upset.
I hate getting upset.
I really hate that
you have to go through this.
I wish I could do it for you.
Ever since you were a little girl, I
had this feeling that I'd lose you...
...that you'd be taken from me early.
As opposed to later,
when it would be more convenient?
You are tough. You're just
like Grandma, always judging me.
- We don't need to go over this again.
- You never let me talk.

so I can tell people how we met.
Lowell Korshack's on the phone again.
Tell him I'm detoxing.
He's a director I was working with.
I don't want to talk to him.
I'm embarrassed.
I don't have to, do I?
You don't have to do anything
you don't want to.
Except never take drugs and go to AA
meetings for the rest of your life.
Oh, I feel so much better.
What can I say?
The upshot of the whole thing is

...made you a high risk to do a movie.
They want me to do it.
I talked to the director.
The director is not the problem.
It's the insurance company.
They won't cover you if you do drugs.
What can I say?
I'm not doing any drugs.
We know. These are businessmen...
...with no knowledge

Actors are not treated well.
And actresses are treated like...
...I hate to use the word, but, sh*t.
I remember when I was 15 years old.
Mr. Mayer called me in for a meeting.
