1
00:00:12,185 --> 00:00:14,840
- In Hollywood,
2
00:00:14,883 --> 00:00:17,669
the fastest way to the top
3
00:00:17,712 --> 00:00:20,019
is to work for someone
who's already there.
4
00:00:24,763 --> 00:00:28,723
The system dictates that one
must first be a slave
5
00:00:28,767 --> 00:00:29,942
before you can be a success.
6
00:00:32,597 --> 00:00:35,121
Few people have the drive
to endure the indignities
7
00:00:35,165 --> 00:00:37,036
that make up the system.
8
00:00:43,216 --> 00:00:45,131
This drive is usually
motivated by greed.
9
00:00:48,917 --> 00:00:50,180
Sometimes ambition.
10
00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:55,098
Sometimes, even love.
11
00:00:57,622 --> 00:00:59,885
There are stories of love...
12
00:01:03,889 --> 00:01:07,501
Inspiring success over the
most insurmountable odds...
13
00:01:11,157 --> 00:01:12,027
Empowering stories...
14
00:01:15,161 --> 00:01:17,381
Where we are not crucifying
one another,
15
00:01:17,424 --> 00:01:19,252
but playing fair.
16
00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:28,261
This...
17
00:01:36,835 --> 00:01:38,750
Is not one of those stories.
18
00:02:32,064 --> 00:02:35,110
- You have no brain.
19
00:02:35,154 --> 00:02:36,416
You're an intern.
20
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:39,158
You are here in service
of Joyce Holt,
21
00:02:39,202 --> 00:02:41,552
CEO of Fountain Pictures.
22
00:02:41,595 --> 00:02:43,858
What you think means nothing.
23
00:02:43,902 --> 00:02:45,686
- What you feel means nothing.
24
00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:47,819
- You are nothing.
25
00:02:47,862 --> 00:02:50,169
A thousand nobodies land
at LAX every day,
26
00:02:50,213 --> 00:02:52,345
ready to kill to get inside
these gates.
27
00:02:52,389 --> 00:02:53,999
- Anything she wants...
- You get it.
28
00:02:54,042 --> 00:02:55,870
- Everything you do,
you run through us.
29
00:02:55,914 --> 00:02:59,483
- Can't take it?
Roll on back to bumfuck Iowa.
30
00:03:02,703 --> 00:03:04,270
- Hi.
I'm L...
31
00:03:04,314 --> 00:03:05,445
- Late.
32
00:03:05,489 --> 00:03:07,055
They told me 9:00.
33
00:03:07,099 --> 00:03:08,361
9:00 means 8:30.
34
00:03:17,196 --> 00:03:18,763
- Meredith Lockhart's
in your office.
35
00:03:18,806 --> 00:03:20,112
The "Times'" run another piece,
36
00:03:20,155 --> 00:03:21,548
calling
the "Wanderlust Chronicles"
37
00:03:21,592 --> 00:03:25,204
the most relevant book series
of the decade.
38
00:03:25,248 --> 00:03:26,727
Referenced
the impending bidding war.
39
00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:48,009
- I called the apothecary
in Melbourne.
40
00:03:48,053 --> 00:03:49,446
They aren't making
the almond sage one anymore.
41
00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:53,711
I'll call again.
42
00:04:03,677 --> 00:04:05,113
- I debated between this
and the Dior,
43
00:04:05,157 --> 00:04:08,900
but Gucci makes me look
less Hollywood power dyke.
44
00:04:08,943 --> 00:04:10,380
- Please.
45
00:04:10,423 --> 00:04:13,208
You love being
a Hollywood power dyke.
46
00:04:13,252 --> 00:04:14,253
- That's true.
47
00:04:14,297 --> 00:04:16,951
- All right, my friend.
48
00:04:16,995 --> 00:04:19,563
What is it gonna take
to make this happen?
49
00:04:19,606 --> 00:04:22,653
You gonna make me beg?
I'm happy to do so.
50
00:04:23,218 --> 00:04:24,350
- You know the corporate BS
51
00:04:24,394 --> 00:04:26,091
that comes
from a mainstream studio?
52
00:04:26,134 --> 00:04:27,353
It's not me.
53
00:04:27,397 --> 00:04:29,486
For my books, I want a home
54
00:04:29,529 --> 00:04:32,358
that's more punk rock,
artist-driven.
55
00:04:32,402 --> 00:04:34,099
- Punk rock and artist-driven's
not gonna pay
56
00:04:34,142 --> 00:04:35,753
pay for that $2,500 coat.
57
00:04:35,796 --> 00:04:37,320
- This $2,850, bitch.
58
00:04:40,192 --> 00:04:41,846
- If for no other reason,
Meredith,
59
00:04:41,889 --> 00:04:44,588
don't you want to support
a female CEO
60
00:04:44,631 --> 00:04:46,024
in this fucking boys' club town?
61
00:04:46,067 --> 00:04:48,026
- You mean the token female.
62
00:04:48,069 --> 00:04:49,462
Fountain's the most
misogynistic monstrosity
63
00:04:49,506 --> 00:04:50,681
out there.
64
00:04:50,724 --> 00:04:52,204
- 'Cause my hands
have been tied.
65
00:04:52,247 --> 00:04:53,814
But I'm sure you've heard...
66
00:04:53,858 --> 00:04:55,816
- Redmond's about to croak,
and you're gonna take over.
67
00:04:59,254 --> 00:05:00,995
Ain't gonna happen, Joyce.
68
00:05:02,954 --> 00:05:05,739
- Here you go.
Should be all there.
69
00:05:05,783 --> 00:05:08,829
- Double meat, no bun,
side of jalapeño,
70
00:05:08,873 --> 00:05:10,918
mega-mint agua fresca, no ice,
71
00:05:10,962 --> 00:05:14,574
and vegan banana bread pudding,
hold the coconut.
72
00:05:14,618 --> 00:05:16,750
- I like the whole braided,
Amish, art chick look
73
00:05:16,794 --> 00:05:17,838
you got going on.
74
00:05:17,882 --> 00:05:19,187
Where, uh... where you from?
75
00:05:19,231 --> 00:05:20,711
- Colorado Springs.
76
00:05:20,754 --> 00:05:23,366
Um, excuse me.
The skinless chicken breast?
77
00:05:23,409 --> 00:05:25,455
It's for her dog,
78
00:05:25,498 --> 00:05:27,718
so if you could put it
in a separate box,
79
00:05:27,761 --> 00:05:29,589
that would be great.
80
00:05:29,633 --> 00:05:30,808
- I've been on this lot
for six years.
81
00:05:30,851 --> 00:05:32,723
I could... be your in-guy.
82
00:05:32,766 --> 00:05:34,725
- All right, mate.
Give it a rest.
83
00:05:34,768 --> 00:05:37,249
My sister?
She's not interested.
84
00:05:37,292 --> 00:05:40,644
- Yeah, well, your loss.
85
00:05:40,687 --> 00:05:42,689
Huh.
86
00:05:42,733 --> 00:05:44,996
- I always wanted a brother.
87
00:05:48,347 --> 00:05:50,218
- First day?
88
00:05:50,262 --> 00:05:51,916
It's that obvious?
89
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:54,353
- Nah.
You're a natural.
90
00:05:54,397 --> 00:05:57,008
Let me get that for you.
- Thank you.
91
00:05:57,051 --> 00:06:01,273
- Let me guess.
Travis, Joyce's dog Wesley?
92
00:06:01,316 --> 00:06:03,710
He used to work for me
before Joyce poached him.
93
00:06:03,754 --> 00:06:05,233
Travis, that is.
Not the dog.
94
00:06:05,277 --> 00:06:06,931
- Work for you?
95
00:06:06,974 --> 00:06:08,585
- Yeah.
96
00:06:08,628 --> 00:06:11,109
Martin Bruhl, VP of Production.
97
00:06:11,152 --> 00:06:14,112
- Lou Simms.
VP of Hail Caesar's.
98
00:06:14,155 --> 00:06:16,854
- Oh ho. Wow.
- Sorry, bad joke.
99
00:06:16,897 --> 00:06:18,812
- Terrible joke.
100
00:06:18,856 --> 00:06:20,901
- It's all right, though.
I've heard worse.
101
00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:24,557
You gotta be careful, though.
Travis is...
102
00:06:24,601 --> 00:06:26,864
- Batshit crazy?
- Yep.
103
00:06:26,907 --> 00:06:29,301
He and Alex are Joyce's
wrecking crew.
104
00:06:29,344 --> 00:06:30,563
They've been fired
hundreds of times,
105
00:06:30,607 --> 00:06:31,651
but she'll never get rid
of them.
106
00:06:32,696 --> 00:06:34,393
- Because?
107
00:06:34,437 --> 00:06:35,438
- They know where the bodies
are buried.
108
00:06:36,961 --> 00:06:39,964
- Can't get to her
without going through them.
109
00:06:40,007 --> 00:06:41,966
- Is getting to her
a goal around here?
110
00:07:08,601 --> 00:07:09,602
Excuse me?
111
00:07:12,387 --> 00:07:14,694
I finished everything
on the list you gave me.
112
00:07:17,697 --> 00:07:20,483
I also went ahead and did
tomorrow's work as well.
113
00:07:20,526 --> 00:07:22,093
- Congratulations.
114
00:07:25,792 --> 00:07:27,925
I'm gonna need you to, uh...
115
00:07:27,968 --> 00:07:28,926
- Sorry.
116
00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:15,538
Hey, Greta!
117
00:08:18,453 --> 00:08:20,107
I survived my first day!
118
00:08:38,996 --> 00:08:40,824
- We're gonna move
to Hollywood one day.
119
00:08:41,999 --> 00:08:44,305
It's always warm.
120
00:08:45,393 --> 00:08:47,308
You can have short sleeves
in December.
121
00:08:49,397 --> 00:08:53,576
And we can have a lemon tree
in our backyard.
122
00:08:53,619 --> 00:08:55,360
- Promise?
- Promise.
123
00:09:20,428 --> 00:09:22,082
- Our lunch with the new
investors just confirmed.
124
00:09:22,126 --> 00:09:23,997
- "Wanderlust Chronicles."
125
00:09:24,041 --> 00:09:25,433
Meredith Lockhart's book series.
126
00:09:25,477 --> 00:09:26,478
- I'm working on it.
127
00:09:26,521 --> 00:09:27,827
- What does that mean?
128
00:09:28,654 --> 00:09:30,221
You either got them
or you failed.
129
00:09:30,264 --> 00:09:31,875
- Means I'm working on it.
130
00:09:31,918 --> 00:09:33,833
- I heard Universal is...
- You heard wrong.
131
00:09:43,451 --> 00:09:46,498
- I promised them
to the new investors, Marty.
132
00:09:48,065 --> 00:09:50,720
- I'm aware.
- There's a clock on the offer.
133
00:09:50,763 --> 00:09:52,722
Five billion dollars
are at stake, Martin,
134
00:09:52,765 --> 00:09:54,898
money needed to save
this fucking place.
135
00:09:58,597 --> 00:09:59,859
- And how do you plan
on getting Redmond involved
136
00:09:59,903 --> 00:10:01,426
in all this?
137
00:10:01,469 --> 00:10:03,036
- I don't.
138
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,909
Keep the investors on ice
until he dies already.
139
00:10:06,866 --> 00:10:08,433
- Copy.
140
00:10:08,476 --> 00:10:10,957
- And get the rights
to the books, or we're fucked.
141
00:10:11,001 --> 00:10:14,134
Well, I'll be fine,
but you'll be fucked.
142
00:10:17,094 --> 00:10:18,138
- Please tell me you got
in touch
143
00:10:18,182 --> 00:10:19,183
with Meredith's assistant.
144
00:10:19,226 --> 00:10:20,532
- I've left word
like five times.
145
00:10:20,575 --> 00:10:21,968
He's not returning.
146
00:10:22,012 --> 00:10:23,709
- Leverage your relationship.
147
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:26,538
Go dirty if you need
to go dirty.
148
00:10:27,104 --> 00:10:29,236
We need those fucking books.
149
00:10:34,198 --> 00:10:36,156
- Plug your nose.
It's gonna smell like shit.
150
00:10:37,462 --> 00:10:38,550
- Don't laugh.
She's fired six people
151
00:10:38,593 --> 00:10:40,160
over this fucking tea.
152
00:10:40,204 --> 00:10:42,554
- What's it for?
- Getting pregnant.
153
00:10:42,597 --> 00:10:44,687
'Cause, come on,
she's gonna be such a lit mom.
154
00:10:48,038 --> 00:10:49,343
- I'm happy to make it.
155
00:10:49,387 --> 00:10:50,736
- And risk getting fired
your first week?
156
00:10:50,780 --> 00:10:52,216
Be number seven?
157
00:10:54,087 --> 00:10:56,307
- I think I can handle it.
158
00:10:56,350 --> 00:10:59,832
- All right.
Knock yourself out.
159
00:11:04,228 --> 00:11:05,969
- How do you think lunch went?
160
00:11:06,012 --> 00:11:07,492
- They were placating us.
161
00:11:07,927 --> 00:11:09,320
If Redmond isn't gone soon,
I'll guarantee you,
162
00:11:09,363 --> 00:11:10,669
they'll pivot,
and we'll lose them.
163
00:11:15,369 --> 00:11:16,762
- Yep.
164
00:11:16,806 --> 00:11:19,069
Yeah, yeah.
I'm with her now.
165
00:11:19,765 --> 00:11:20,853
All right.
Copy.
166
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:23,943
Well, speak of the devil.
167
00:11:23,987 --> 00:11:26,685
Redmond is requesting you
at his house.
168
00:11:26,729 --> 00:11:28,165
God damn it.
169
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:35,346
Wait in the car.
170
00:11:52,363 --> 00:11:54,452
- Look what the cat dragged in.
171
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:22,697
- Keeps me young.
172
00:12:28,616 --> 00:12:33,273
Doctors are telling me
that I'm in my final days.
173
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,975
Oh Jesus,
you're a terrible actress.
174
00:12:39,018 --> 00:12:40,846
No wonder you never made it.
175
00:12:44,981 --> 00:12:46,852
Rumor has it,
176
00:12:46,896 --> 00:12:48,245
you've been talking to investors
177
00:12:48,288 --> 00:12:49,855
about outside capital.
178
00:12:51,552 --> 00:12:53,728
- Not true.
- That's what I told them.
179
00:12:53,772 --> 00:12:56,383
I said, she wouldn't do that.
180
00:12:56,427 --> 00:12:58,472
She gave me her word
181
00:12:58,516 --> 00:13:00,823
that she would run the studio
the way I wanted,
182
00:13:00,866 --> 00:13:03,260
the way my father ran it.
183
00:13:03,303 --> 00:13:07,830
The last great American studio,
run by Americans.
184
00:13:09,135 --> 00:13:12,399
What a novel fucking idea
that is, huh?
185
00:13:12,443 --> 00:13:17,187
No chinks, no wops, no A-rabs.
186
00:13:17,230 --> 00:13:19,667
Am I right?
187
00:13:24,542 --> 00:13:25,891
Do I have your word?
188
00:13:32,637 --> 00:13:34,421
- You have my word.
189
00:13:42,168 --> 00:13:44,954
- I assume that didn't go well.
190
00:13:49,872 --> 00:13:50,916
Shit.
191
00:13:53,179 --> 00:13:54,311
- What?
192
00:13:54,354 --> 00:13:55,616
- Uh...
193
00:13:58,663 --> 00:13:59,577
- What?
194
00:14:01,796 --> 00:14:04,495
- Looks like you were right.
195
00:14:04,538 --> 00:14:06,236
Meredith's getting into a deal
with Universal.
196
00:14:10,066 --> 00:14:12,285
Universal, real fucking
punk rock.
197
00:14:12,329 --> 00:14:13,852
They're backing up
the cash truck.
198
00:14:13,896 --> 00:14:15,854
There's no way
we can match this.
199
00:14:15,898 --> 00:14:17,203
I'm sorry.
200
00:14:18,074 --> 00:14:20,511
I went down every single avenue.
201
00:14:20,554 --> 00:14:22,121
I mean, as long as that
cheap fuck is still breathing,
202
00:14:22,165 --> 00:14:24,994
there's no way we can...
we can compete with this.
203
00:14:25,037 --> 00:14:28,388
My hands are tied.
204
00:14:28,432 --> 00:14:30,477
I'm sorry.
205
00:14:36,222 --> 00:14:37,484
- Get out.
206
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,245
- What the fuck are you doing?
207
00:15:42,288 --> 00:15:43,681
Open this door again,
208
00:15:43,724 --> 00:15:44,987
and you'll be slinging smoothies
209
00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:46,771
at the Van Nuys Jamba Juice
so fast,
210
00:15:46,814 --> 00:15:48,512
you won't know
what fucking hit you.
211
00:15:48,555 --> 00:15:49,687
Out.
212
00:15:55,736 --> 00:15:57,086
- I am fucking neurotic, Tom.
213
00:15:57,129 --> 00:15:59,044
The film business is
in the last innings.
214
00:16:00,437 --> 00:16:02,265
You know how many
out-of-work, white, male
215
00:16:02,308 --> 00:16:04,397
studio execs there are
in this town right now?
216
00:16:04,441 --> 00:16:06,530
Those books are
a big fucking problem.
217
00:16:06,573 --> 00:16:08,749
Joyce... she promised them
to our new investors.
218
00:16:11,970 --> 00:16:13,841
Maybe pretend
that I didn't say that.
219
00:16:13,885 --> 00:16:16,453
If that information was to leak
to the press or something,
220
00:16:16,496 --> 00:16:18,368
then, uh...
221
00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:20,457
Redmond wouldn't be too happy,
you know?
222
00:16:25,375 --> 00:16:26,941
All right, speak to you soon.
223
00:17:01,628 --> 00:17:03,935
- Just leave it.
224
00:17:07,112 --> 00:17:09,201
- Yes, ma'am.
225
00:17:09,245 --> 00:17:10,811
- You from the South?
226
00:17:15,033 --> 00:17:18,036
- Colorado.
227
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,387
- Girls from Colorado
don't say "ma'am."
228
00:17:21,431 --> 00:17:23,085
- Too much Tennessee Williams
growing up.
229
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,570
- What color were these resoled?
230
00:17:30,614 --> 00:17:33,138
- Black?
- And the original color was?
231
00:17:33,182 --> 00:17:34,661
- Red.
232
00:17:34,705 --> 00:17:36,185
- Therefore, they should have
been resoled...
233
00:17:36,228 --> 00:17:39,449
- Red.
- Right.
234
00:17:39,492 --> 00:17:41,277
Travis, get in here.
235
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,894
- Eight mil a year,
236
00:17:49,937 --> 00:17:52,070
and the crazy bitch resoles
her shoes.
237
00:17:52,114 --> 00:17:53,506
- Mm-hmm.
238
00:17:53,550 --> 00:17:55,682
- Why are rich people always
so fucking cheap?
239
00:17:55,726 --> 00:17:59,121
- Doesn't make sense.
240
00:17:59,164 --> 00:18:00,774
Ooh.
Hey.
241
00:18:01,688 --> 00:18:03,516
Heidi.
9 o'clock.
242
00:18:06,215 --> 00:18:08,608
- Don't you dare invite her
to sit.
243
00:18:08,652 --> 00:18:12,612
- Lou!
Come sit!
244
00:18:12,656 --> 00:18:16,181
- I fucking hate you.
245
00:18:16,225 --> 00:18:18,009
- Only if you let me buy
the next round.
246
00:18:18,052 --> 00:18:19,750
- Oh, well, in that case,
247
00:18:19,793 --> 00:18:22,753
Señor, Don Julio 1942,
por favor?
248
00:18:22,796 --> 00:18:23,841
- Three, please.
249
00:18:23,884 --> 00:18:25,321
- Uh, none for me.
I'm good.
250
00:18:25,364 --> 00:18:27,497
- Harvard bitch is sober.
251
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:29,020
Unfathomable, I know.
252
00:18:29,063 --> 00:18:30,717
Just remember,
I may be her ho this week,
253
00:18:30,761 --> 00:18:32,197
but that means you're up next.
254
00:18:32,241 --> 00:18:33,938
Queen is on a tear.
- Mm.
255
00:18:33,981 --> 00:18:35,505
- See, one week she loves you,
256
00:18:35,548 --> 00:18:38,116
gives you an $80 candle
that she got in a gift basket.
257
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,423
Next week...
You're dead.
258
00:18:40,466 --> 00:18:42,381
- But you do end up
with a very nice candle
259
00:18:42,425 --> 00:18:44,296
you can put in your shitty
Echo Park apartment,
260
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:45,863
so when you bring home
the guy you met on Grindr,
261
00:18:45,906 --> 00:18:47,256
he thinks you're super legit.
262
00:18:47,299 --> 00:18:48,518
- Not sure a candle
would cut it for me.
263
00:18:52,435 --> 00:18:54,828
- Your friends back home.
264
00:18:54,872 --> 00:18:58,049
They teachers, accountants,
social workers?
265
00:18:58,092 --> 00:18:59,268
Kill me now.
266
00:18:59,311 --> 00:19:03,272
- Proximity to greatness
is intoxicating.
267
00:19:03,315 --> 00:19:05,883
- I saw Ryan Gosling's dick
on a set visit once.
268
00:19:05,926 --> 00:19:08,015
I mean, it was just
from the side, but still,
269
00:19:08,059 --> 00:19:10,235
made my fucking year.
270
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:11,845
Speaking of dicks...
271
00:19:11,889 --> 00:19:14,587
- Whoa, seriously dude.
Nobody wants to see that.
272
00:19:14,631 --> 00:19:17,068
- I do.
273
00:19:17,111 --> 00:19:19,244
All right,
I'm gonna get my fuck on.
274
00:19:19,288 --> 00:19:20,289
Bye, bitches.
275
00:19:23,030 --> 00:19:24,423
- My apologies.
276
00:19:24,467 --> 00:19:26,817
Crude and inappropriate
are his default settings.
277
00:19:26,860 --> 00:19:28,253
Got it.
278
00:19:28,297 --> 00:19:29,211
Whoops.
279
00:19:31,909 --> 00:19:33,954
- Careful.
Joyce gave him his start.
280
00:19:33,998 --> 00:19:35,521
Back in the day, they used to...
281
00:19:35,565 --> 00:19:37,567
- No, we're just friends.
282
00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:39,960
- Marty Bruhl belongs
to Joyce Holt.
283
00:19:52,146 --> 00:19:54,584
- Okay.
284
00:19:54,627 --> 00:19:57,282
That's it.
285
00:20:02,809 --> 00:20:04,637
Your studio migrating
into our bedroom?
286
00:20:04,681 --> 00:20:08,511
God, don't even get me started.
287
00:20:08,554 --> 00:20:10,164
I should just cancel
that fucking show.
288
00:20:10,208 --> 00:20:11,557
I'm not even close
to being ready.
289
00:20:11,601 --> 00:20:12,602
- Stay home and work.
290
00:20:12,645 --> 00:20:13,516
- Don't.
Don't fucking do that,
291
00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:14,952
not right now.
292
00:20:14,995 --> 00:20:16,954
- You're building the show up
way too much.
293
00:20:16,997 --> 00:20:18,260
Don't be so precious.
294
00:20:18,303 --> 00:20:21,132
- I'm the one
being too precious?
295
00:20:21,175 --> 00:20:24,309
'Cause you're so chill
and whatever about your work.
296
00:20:24,353 --> 00:20:26,572
- I'm not an artist.
297
00:20:26,616 --> 00:20:27,965
- Yeah, well, guess what?
298
00:20:30,054 --> 00:20:31,664
Neither am I.
299
00:20:35,364 --> 00:20:36,887
I'm Joyce Holt's plus-one.
300
00:20:41,021 --> 00:20:44,634
- New coat?
- Yeah.
301
00:20:44,677 --> 00:20:47,376
- What's the occasion?
302
00:20:47,419 --> 00:20:50,944
Looks like more
than just dinner with the boys.
303
00:20:50,988 --> 00:20:52,685
- You can come.
304
00:20:55,384 --> 00:20:58,778
I lost this week.
305
00:20:58,822 --> 00:20:59,779
I don't like losing.
306
00:20:59,823 --> 00:21:01,433
- There'll be other books.
307
00:21:01,477 --> 00:21:02,608
Come on!
Come out.
308
00:21:02,652 --> 00:21:03,696
Get dressed.
It'll be fun.
309
00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:05,045
Food's supposed
to be incredible.
310
00:21:05,089 --> 00:21:07,265
- No.
311
00:21:07,309 --> 00:21:08,397
Tonight's the only night
312
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,268
I don't have to go out
this week.
313
00:21:10,312 --> 00:21:13,837
Happy to stay home and wear
sweats and look like shit.
314
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,360
- You never look like shit.
315
00:21:18,711 --> 00:21:21,801
- Have fun tonight.
316
00:21:21,845 --> 00:21:23,673
- I love you.
317
00:21:27,764 --> 00:21:29,592
- Love you too.
318
00:21:42,387 --> 00:21:44,737
- I was 19 when I moved here.
319
00:21:44,781 --> 00:21:46,391
Penniless.
320
00:21:46,435 --> 00:21:48,915
A lost cause,
my teachers told me.
321
00:21:49,742 --> 00:21:52,310
There was a passage I
read once as a girl
322
00:21:52,354 --> 00:21:55,313
that, for whatever reason,
resonated.
323
00:21:55,357 --> 00:21:56,967
It was written by Marilyn Monroe
324
00:21:57,010 --> 00:21:59,056
shortly before her death.
325
00:21:59,099 --> 00:22:02,451
And as sad as it may read now,
326
00:22:02,494 --> 00:22:07,194
it encapsulates the very thing
that draws people here.
327
00:22:07,238 --> 00:22:10,284
This town.
This business.
328
00:22:10,328 --> 00:22:12,896
The promise.
That sense of hope.
329
00:22:13,766 --> 00:22:15,420
Magic.
330
00:22:47,670 --> 00:22:49,193
- Dude, your girlfriend's back.
331
00:23:29,842 --> 00:23:32,192
- Do you have any gum?
Mints?
332
00:23:42,028 --> 00:23:45,510
- I have a pomegranate acai
throat lozenge.
333
00:24:43,002 --> 00:24:45,744
- When I was growing up,
we didn't have anything.
334
00:24:45,788 --> 00:24:47,485
I didn't have anyone in my life
335
00:24:47,529 --> 00:24:50,183
telling me that I had any worth.
336
00:24:50,227 --> 00:24:52,621
I was so desperate
for that validation.
337
00:24:52,664 --> 00:24:55,406
We all need that one person
in our lives
338
00:24:55,449 --> 00:24:57,930
to tell us that we can do it,
339
00:24:57,974 --> 00:24:59,889
that we matter.
340
00:24:59,932 --> 00:25:03,588
I see you.
I see you.
341
00:25:26,089 --> 00:25:27,656
- When I first moved here,
342
00:25:27,699 --> 00:25:31,224
as I looked
into the Hollywood night,
343
00:25:31,268 --> 00:25:33,357
there must be thousands
of girls sitting alone
344
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,533
just like me, dreaming.
345
00:25:38,797 --> 00:25:40,973
But I'm not gonna worry
about them,
346
00:25:41,017 --> 00:25:43,541
because I'm dreaming
the hardest.
347
00:25:45,456 --> 00:25:47,676
- Because I'm dreaming
the hardest.
348
00:25:48,198 --> 00:25:50,635
We do what we have to do,
349
00:25:50,679 --> 00:25:52,289
in order to get what we want.
