Slipstream
I was talking
to Noah last night.
You know, Noah,
my brother-in-law.
Yeah, and he was telling me
about this storm they were having,
and he said to me,
"Bette, Bette dear,
this is retribution
from on high."
Yeah, I know, I know.
What's that, dear?
Oh, yes, I heard.
Poor old Felix.
How are the boys taking it?
No, well, you never know, do you?
Yeah, you've gotta enjoy life.
You know,
I started looking in the mirror
every morning...
You are bringing
the writer up here.
...and I'd say,
"Bette, Bette, honey, this is it, girl.
"The show's on the road,
and you've to get get up
and get at 'em."
Yeah...
Oh, it'll be lovely to see you again...
Well, do you think you'll ever
get out this way?
Oh, I'm going to Las Vegas.
Tomorrow. Going up to see
my sister-in-law...
my sister-in-law, Sandra, yeah.
And Gina, my niece...
well, I call her my niece...
is driving me up there
in the morning.
We're going to take Sandra
to a show.
Sandra's lived there all her life,
and she's never been to a show!
Isn't that something, huh?
Listen, I'll talk to you soon,
sweetie pie.
Bye.
Did you see that?
Felix?
Can we go now?
- What happened?
- It's over.
- It's over?
- Do a rewrite!
- Yeah?
- Let's get out of here.
Come on, Felix.
Come on.
One decaf, no sugar,
extra-foam latte.
- One iced tea.
- Thank you.
- Thanks, Lily.
- You're welcome.
How did the reading go?
My agent thinks I have a really
good chance, so who knows?
- You'll do fine.
- Thanks.
From your mouth to God's ear.
- Cut!
- This is my friend Felix.
Hi, Felix. Like the cat.
- That's funny.
- Felix the Cat.
Nine lives.
That's Lily. She's sweet.
She's from Russia
and wants to be in movies.
She's my new best friend.
Hello?
Hello? Hello?
Anyway, where was I?
Right, this woman Shelley.
She says you go back
through past lives, incarnations,
and you get in touch with everything
that makes you do stuff in this life.
Say you were an addict or nuts
or, like, stuck in old habits.
You have fears of elevators
and spiders and snakes
or stuff like clowns and opera singers,
anything freaky...
it all comes up through
past-life regression
so you get pulled back
through the slipstream.
It's karma... Indian stuff
The Akashic records
or something like that.
This woman,
she is totally awesome.
It's awesome.
Totally awesome.
...past-life regression,
pulled through the slipstream.
...walk you through this stuff,
get you to clean your side of the street.
My yoga teacher told me about her.
You ought to try yoga.
You ought to try yoga,
and wheatgrass and colonics.
She charges $300 an hour.
She's got this place in Culver City.
Her name's Shelley something.
It's one of those names you can't say.
- Anyway, her first name's Shelley...
- Hello?
but you go into her place,
and she does this channeling,
these aura readings.
- Oh, she says that all this...
- Where was I?
...an illusion, a dream.
Felix? That's all it is.
What?
Edgar Allan Poe.
Sorry, I overheard you talking.
That's so cool.
Anyway, she's got this really stinky dog,
but cute, called Tiddles.
Felix!
- What's your problem, man?
- No problem.
- What's your problem!
- No problem.
Get out of there.
What's your problem?
What's wrong with you!
Oh, my God.
We've lost the plot!
We've lost the plot!
We've lost the plot.
Hey, you! Get out of my car.
Call 911, please! Somebody help!
Do something, please!
