What Just Happened Page #3

BEN:

Okay. See you later, guys.

SCOTT:
Hey, Ben.

- Scott.

- So how were the numbers last night?

- Just a number.

SCOTT:
Oh, by the way,

I just finished my script.

BEN:

So, what is it?

Come on, don't play hard to get,

tell me.

I'm not gonna tell you.

I'm not gonna tell you.

BEN:

I'm gonna find out anyway.

SCOTT:
It's about a florist.

- Oh, no.

SCOTT:

It's a rich world.

A flower shop as a background

for ambivalence and deceit.

It's the Rose Bowl Parade meets

The Da Vinci Code. That kind of thing.

- It's not a movie.

- It's not a movie? What is it?

Flowers on the big screen?

I don't think so. Won't work.

- Try Leonard, it might be his thing.

- I already did.

BEN:
You went to Leonard

before you went to me?

He's the coach

of my kids' soccer team.

Scott, come on. Leonard?

What difference does it make

if you're not interested?

Loyalty matters to me.

What did Leonard say?

There were

some very interesting aspects.

What did he say?

- He said it's not a movie.

- There you have it.

SCOTT:
It's too bad about Jack, huh?

- It's rare.

Usually agents kill others,

not themselves.

- Yeah, but out of the blue? I mean...

- It happens, you know.

- Suicide, it happens?

- Stress, it builds up. I'll see you later.

See you later.

MAN [ON STEREO]:

This is Fiercely, cue 4M-2. Take 7.

BEN:
Cal, talk to me,

what happened at the rehearsal?

CAL:
You're not gonna believe it. Bruce

shows up with a Grizzly Adams beard.

He's got a Grizzly Adams beard?

Yes, and he's a pig.

You want to direct him?

That's not my job.

What do you mean he's a pig?

- He's fat.

- Bruce Willis is overweight?

Overweight,

with a Grizzly Adams beard.

- He's fooling with you.

- The biggest beard you've ever seen.

- Don't worry.

- There's no way to know it's Bruce.

I will see you this afternoon.

I'm at a production meeting right now,

I can't talk. Goodbye.

- Hey.

- Hey.

I think Mom's in the back

if you want to say hi.

Do I have to?

Your eyes are all red.

No. No.

- A little bit.

- Just Just stuff, you know.

If it's boy stuff,

you can always talk to me about it.

I know some things

your mother doesn't know.

- I'm sure you do.

- No, seriously, you can ask me.

- Okay. Yeah.

- Yeah?

Okay. I'll be right back.

BEN:

What's with Zoe?

Oh, girl stuff. I don't know.

Is she dating? Parties or anything? She

doesn't really tell me much.

she just kind of

keeps things to herself.

I think she gets that from you.

I think she tells us about.

as much about what she does as

you would tell me about what you do.

Secrets seem to be

the family hobby.

I think it's in the DNA.

Boy, this place has gone way up.
