The Girlfriend Experience Page #6

Synopsis: Chelsea (Sasha Grey) is a high-priced $2,000-an-hour call girl in Manhattan, offering a 'girlfriend experience': she'll dress with the client in mind, go to dinner and a movie, listen attentively to talk about work and finances, and she'll provide sex. It's October, 2008: a presidential election nears and the economy is in free fall. She has a boyfriend, Chris (Chris Santos), who's a personal trainer. We are shown five non-consecutive days in Chelsea's life. She's working on her Web page, talking to image consultants, and being interviewed by a reporter. She asks clients when their birthdays are and uses that for an astrological prediction. She's drawn to a new client, a writer from L.A. Should she break her rules for him? What if it risks her relationship with Chris? Should she invest in gold?

I like it,

it's just...

Someone else

have you do that,

or did you just

do it on your own?

- I did it myself.

- Yeah?

This is how

it usually is.

On October 18th I met with Dan.

I wore a vintage black

cashmere sweater,

Earnest sewn jeans

and Pour La Victoire

boots.

Dan talked

the entire time.

We didn't have sex.

He was very upset

about a contract

his firm lost

to I.M. Pei.

He set a date

for Tuesday.

So they gave us a booth

And they started doing

the bottle service,

and they started just

bringing all this sh*t.

We were totally hammered.

As we're leaving,

some other manager comes in

and decides not to comp it.

It was, like,

our bar bill.

- Are you f***ing kidding me?

- Isn't that sick?

That's a big bar bill.

Oh, I'm sure it was a

lot of champagne, wine.

I don't even know.

There was a little ring of us.

Then it grew. And by the time

there was that outer ring,

I think strangers were just

ordering buckets of beer

- and champagne and sh*t.

- Oh my God.

It was so fun, though.

I think he charges the movie.

She needs to get

one of those--

what do they call those

things? It's like a vaporizer.

She did.

It didn't last long.

Didn't get her

high enough?

I don't know

what it was.

My buddy tried

one, but he didn't like it.

He's been smoking

a long time

and he missed the burn and

the coughing in the lungs.

He needed it.

The clean thing wasn't enough for him.

Chelsea?

- Hi.

- Hello.

I thought

that was you.

Hi. I'm Ken.

- How are you? David.

- Hi, David.

I'm just taking off,

but I thought I'd say hi.

See you.

And how's Sheila?

She's doing good.

She's doing good.

There's always gonna be

old people too,

No matter what's going on

with the economy.

She's doing okay,

still at the center,

even though she's a little

afraid that, you know--

Cutbacks, recession,

depression--

They might lose their funding.

But that's a long way off.

We should

get together soon.

Yeah, we should

get together.

I think she'd like that again.

That'd be nice.

You know, there's not a lot

of couples like you guys.

I agree.

There's not a lot of couples like us.

A lot of people think they

can separate love from sex.

And when they

get into it...

they're intimidated, their

emotions arise, they get jealous.

With you guys,

it's simple.

- Chris.

- Jess, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Come into my office.

- How're you doing?

- Great. This place is beautiful.

Are you guys

looking at expansion?

From the looks of this place, it

looks like you're well-funded.

You already have

four locations.

How aggressive are you about

finding other locations?

We do not want

to take over the world.
