Scene Two for Voice II

1.From the Movie Sinister

Leigh and Justin

Bedroom

Tracy

(Ellison, do you know what your daughter just said to me? She said she was painting in the living room

because the little girl who lived here last didn’t want her to paint in her brother’s room.) What the hell were

you thinking? Did you think I wouldn't find out?

Ellison

Shh. Of course I knew you were gonna find out eventually, OK? But don't blame me for not telling you.

You never wanted to know.

Tracy

Don't try and pin this on me. I asked you! I asked you if we were living near the house!

Ellison

You asked me if we were living two houses down from a crime scene.

Tracy

Page 2: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

Don't you dare!

Ellison

I said no.

Tracy

We never should have come here!

Ellison

Tracy, nobody died here. It's not like we're sleeping where somebody was killed or they had to wipe blood off

the walls for the open house.

Tracy

You're saying it didn't happen here?

Ellison

No. It happened in the backyard.

Tracy

That is so sick. Ellison. And you let our little girl play back there?

Page 3: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

Ellison

Why shouldn't I?

Tracy

Our son is having night terrors and drawing pictures of this crime at school. And our daughter just painted a dead girl on our wall.Do you understand what you've

done, the kind of jeopardy you've put your children in, your marriage?

Ellison

Yes, I do!

Tracy

Is there anything you won't do for your goddamn book? Apparently not. I guess this is all worth it to you.

Ellison

It is worth it.

Tracy

Putting your family at risk.

Page 4: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

Ellison

Risk of what? Of more paintings?

Tracy

Don't. Your daughter...

Ellison

My daughter has a father who loves her, who is always around, who encourages her to be herself. The worst thing that has ever happened to her is one time she

moved into a house where a family was killed. She found out about the murders. So she felt sorry for the little girl. So she painted a fucking picture! That's what she

does. It's what she always has done.

Tracy

That's it? That's all you have to say?

Ellison

What else do you want from me?

Tracy

How about a home where we feel safe, Ellison? How about neighbors that don't hate us in a town where I can buy groceries without getting strange looks? How about a

life that doesn't involve our kids drawing and painting

Page 5: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

the sick details of some horrific tragedy or working out their deep-seated anxieties by doing bizarre shit

in the night? How about that? Would that be OK?

Ellison

I can give all that to you, I can! Just when I finish the book!

Tracy

This book isn't for us. It's for you.

Ellison

Tracy, don't say that. That's not true.

Tracy

It is true. There are plenty of other ways you can provide for this family.

Ellison

Doing What? Teaching? Editing journalism textbooks? Don't you understand that writing is what gives my life

meaning? These books are my legacy.

Tracy

I have always supported you doing what you love.

Page 6: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

Ellison. But writing isn't the meaning of your life. You and me, right here, this marriage that's the

meaning of your life. And your legacy, that's Ashley and Trevor. Your kids are your legacy.

3. Six Feet Under

Jesse and Helena

Scene Five: Phil's Apartment

CLAIRE and PHIL lie head to toe in his bed, sharing pillow talk.

Claire: I didn’t even go to my prom. (He laughs and nods.) If somebody asked me, I probably would’ve freaked out.

Phil: I took Nancy Pollard. She smelled like fried chicken.

Claire: (laughs) Why?

Phil: (joking) I don’t know. She just did.

She laughs.

Claire: I got a bottle of champagne with my friend, Parker, and we climbed the fence to school, and we just sat in the quad, and got drunk, and said good fucking bye to high school.

Phil: Nice!

Page 9: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

Claire: Then we both totally started crying.

Phil: Why?

Claire: I don’t know. I guess we were like saying goodbye to our childhood, or whatever. It just seemed sad.

Phil: Yeah?

Claire: I mean, I hated fucking high school, but still, it was my life. And it was all I knew, and it was just over. God, could I be more pathetic?

Phil: (sits up) You’re not pathetic. You’re just sensitive.

Claire: I know. (sits up) I’m too sensitive.

Phil: No, you’re perfect.

They kiss.

Phil: What time do you have to get up?

Claire: Oh, oh, fuck, I have to get up in like 3 hours, and I haven’t even done the assignment yet. You keep distracting me.

Phil: I keep distracting you?

Claire: Yeah, my hands are like magnetically drawn to your dick!

They both laugh.

Phil: What is the assignment?

Claire: I have to read and critique some theoretical conceptual bullshit. They make you take all the boring classes with theory before they let you do anything cool with clay.

Phil: I know exactly how you feel.

Claire: No, you don’t.

Phil: That’s why I dropped out of music school. All I wanted to do was write great music, but they had me studying all this shit that had nothing to do with anything. They try to program your mind so you’re exactly like everybody else. Don’t let them do that to you. You’re too talented.

Claire: Do you think so?

Page 10: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

Phil: What? You think I like you just ‘cause you have the softest skin I’ve ever felt?

Claire: (laughs, a little shy) I don’t know.

Phil: You’re amazing, Claire.

She looks into his eyes, and fully believes him. They start kissing again and sink back down to the bed.

4.Grey’s Anatomy

Brianna and Stephen

Callie: Izzie Stevens? I share something with you that I am clearly uncomfortable about and you tell Izzie Stevens.

George: No, I didn't tell Izzie, I told Meredith, Meredith...

Callie: Oh, so that's better?

George: No, it was an accident. It was an accident. I was pissed off. Why can't you give me the benefit of the doubt that maybe sometimes I'm on your side?

Callie: Because you choose your friends over me every chance you get.

George: No I don't. I married you and I haven't talked to my best friend in weeks. Meanwhile, you lied to me about where we live and why.

Callie: I didn't tell you because my parents money has affected every single relationship in my life and so I've stopped talking about it and living it.

Page 11: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

George: You're an heiress.

Callie: Ok, see this is why I don't tell people.

George: No, you're an heiress. You lied to me about your background, you lied to me about your family and still I'm the dog who gets whacked on the nose with the newspaper, all the time. When is this gonna stop?

Callie: Oh, so this is my problem?

George: Yeah, maybe it is.

Callie: Oh, the fact that your best friend violently disses our marriage every chance she gets, publicly, repeatedly. Why do you think she does that George, you ever think about that?

George: She's having a problem with this, I understand that.

Callie: She has feelings for you.

George: What?

Callie: She wants you. She's wants you, that's what this is about. That's why she hates me. George! George, do not laugh at me. Do not laugh at me.

George: No, I'm not, I'm not. Oh god. It's just...she's Izzie. She's blonde, she's stacked, she's a supermodel, I'm George.

Callie: So, what does that make me.

George: No, come on. You're gorgeous and your curvy and I never thought you'd go for me.

Page 12: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

Callie: Just shut up.

George:. You and me, we're like ham and eggs. I was the chicken and I just want you to know that I know I was the chicken. You put yourself out there and you were committed. I was just put the eggs on the plate. Not the ham 'cause you were the pig. I was involved but now I'm committed.

Callie: Did you just call me a pig?

George: It's a metaphor.

Callie: Calling me a pig.

George: The point is you're not the pig any more. What I'm trying to say is, I am the pig. Now...I am the pig. (She walks away.)

George: I am the pig.

Callie: This is my hotel room that I paid for with my huge piles of money. Get the hell out of it

5.Grey’s Anatomy

Danielle and Sydney

Danielle (Meredith) and Sydney (Christina)

[INT. MEREDITH’S TOWNHOUSE]

Meredith Voice Over (MVO): I have an aunt who whenever she poured anything for you would say ‘say when’.

(Opens with Meredith lying down on the floor of her bathroom)

MEREDITH: It’s not us. It’s them. Them and their stupid boy … penises. They didn’t tell me they had a wife. They gave absolutely no warning that they were going to break up with you.

Page 13: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

(All of sudden Cristina slides open the shower door. She is sitting there in the bathtub dressed in her casual clothes)

CRISTINA: It’s not that Burke broke up with me. It’s how he broke up with me. Like it was business. Like it was a business trans, like he’s the boss of me!

MEREDITH: He is the boss of you.

CRISTINA: And what’s worse? Is that I care.

MEREDITH: I’m gonna throw up again.

(She crawls over to the toilet bowl and Cristina slides the shower door shut again)

MVO: My aunt would say ‘say when’ and of course we never did.

(Meredith looks like she’s going to throw up) MEREDITH: No wait, false alarm.

(She pulls away from the toilet bowl and Cristina opens up the shower door again. Meredith sits against the wall)

CRISTINA: The problem is estrogen.

MEREDITH: No the problem is tequila.

CRISTINA: I used to be all business and then he goes and gets me pregnant.

MEREDITH: With the stupid boy penis.

Page 14: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

CRISTINA: I am having hormone surges. He ruined me. I’m ruined. He turned me into this fat, stupid pregnant girl. Who cares! Estrogen!

(She slides the shower door shut again)

MEREDITH: Penises. Penisesisies. MEREDITH: You know what’s ruined for me? CHRISTINA (in pain): Ah?

MEREDITH: Ferry boats. I used to love ferry boats and Derek’s got a thing for ferry boats. Now every time I see a frigging ferry boat...

CHRISTINA (cuts off Meredith): You know what’s ruined for me? Coronary artery by-pass grafts … and aortic aneurysms. God I used to love aortic aneurysms. . MEREDITH: Have you cried yet?

CHRISTINA: Hello?

MVO: You’re 10 feet tall and bullet proof.

CHRISTINA: Do you think we’ll feel better if we cry? You know like just let it out?

MEREDITH: Probably. Yeah.

MVO: And then you leave the O.R.

CHRISTINA (unsure): Do you wanna cry now?

MEREDITH: No.

Page 15: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

MEREDITH: I know. I just think you should still tell him about the baby because he should at least have the responsibility of having to pay.

CHRISTINA: No! You know what? He’ll never know. It’s over. Once this pregnancy is taken care of, Burke won’t even be a blip on my radar. He’ll be smudge.

MEREDITH (sarcastic): Right.

CHRISTINA: You know, Meredith? … Leave the sarcasm up to me ... Really it doesn’t suit you.

6. He’s Just Not That Into You

Sal and Willow

(as one long scene)

SCENE 8

INT. ALEX'S APARTMENT - LATER

It is really late. Gigi enters from the kitchen.

GIGI

I think I've rounded up the last of the beer bottles.

ALEX

Thanks for staying and helping clean up - but I really gotta get to bed.

Page 16: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

GIGI

Is that an invitation?

ALEX

What?

GIGI

I'm sorry. That was cheesy. I'm not good at this.

But then -- before Alex knows what's happening, Gigi is LUNGING at him. She puts his face in her hands, and starts to KISS HIM. REALLY KISS HIM. Finally, Gigi pulls away. She looks breathless.

GIGI (CONT'D)

Yes! I knew it. The best relationships grow out of friendships.

She goes in to kiss him again. This time he stops her.

ALEX

Wait - what?

Page 17: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

ALEX

Now you and I are in a relationship?

GIGI

Well, I'd say if we're not at relationship station--ship, we're at least on the track.

Alex gets up off the couch.

ALEX

And why exactly would you think that?

GIGI

Because of the signs.

ALEX

Really? Like what?

GIGI

Ummm - it was good to hear from me. You talked to me even when you were with a girl. I felt something...

ALEX

Page 18: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

What are you talking about? What have I been saying since I met you? If a guy wants to date you HE WILL

MAKE IT HAPPEN. HE WILL ASK YOU OUT. DID I ASK YOU OUT?

GIGI

No.

ALEX

Why would you do this? Shit. Why do women do this? Why do they build this stuff up in their minds, take each little thing a guy does and twist it into something

else – it’s insane.

GIGI

I'd rather be like that - than like you.

ALEX

Excuse me? What is that supposed to mean?

GIGI

Maybe I dissect each little thing, and put myself out there too much, but at least that means I still care. You think you've won because women are expendable to

you? Sure, you don't get hurt or make an ass of yourself that way, but you don't fall in love that way,

either. You have not won, Alex. You're alone.

Page 19: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

Gigi grabs her bag to leave.

GIGI (CONT'D)

I may do a lot of stupid shit - but I know I'm a lot closer to finding someone than you are.

Gigi turns and heads out the door.

SCENE 14

INT. GIGI'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

She comes inside, drops her stuff and sits on the couch. Then, A KNOCK on the door. Gigi reluctantly gets up.

GIGI

Did you forget something?

She opens the DOOR. It's ALEX.

ALEX

Yeah. I did.

Page 20: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

GIGI

Really? What did you forget?

ALEX

This.

Alex reaches into his pocket and pulls out a PEN.

GIGI

You came all the way here to give me back a promotional pen?

ALEX

I thought I better come up with some excuse to get over here. Isn't that how it's done?

GIGI

Sometimes.

ALEX

Look, I can't stop thinking about you. I drive by your place. I call and hang up. I'm turning into -

Page 21: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

GIGI

Me.

He LAUGHS.

ALEX

Yeah.

GIGI

Well, a wise person once told me that if a guy wants to be with a girl, he will make it happen. No matter what.

ALEX

True.

GIGI

Hmmm. Because when I was hurling my body onto yours - you did not seem to want to "make it happen."

ALEX

Here's the thing about that. You were right. I've gotten so used to keeping myself at a safe distance

from these women, having the power - that I didn't know what it felt like when I actually - fell - for one.

Page 22: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

GIGI

Look, I've just been out with your friend

Bill. And it just might be exactly what I need. No drama. He calls. He does what he says.

ALEX

I could do that stuff too.

GIGI

But you didn't. And that same wise person told me that I am the rule. That I have to stop thinking that every guy will change - stop thinking that I will be the --

But before she can finish her sentence, Alex KISSES HER. A LONG, SLOW, PASSIONATE KISS.

GIGI (CONT'D)

- That I will be the exception.

Alex looks at her.

ALEX

You are my exception.

8. Girls

Victoria (Marnie) and Katie (Hannah)

GIRLS S01E09 *Hannah walks in and discovers Marnie’s new book. Marnie is sifting through clothes in her bedroom*

H: Wait, so you actually bought Tally Shiffren’s book?

M: It was a book party so I bought the book.

H: Well, you don’t like it. Do you?

M: She’s a really good writer, ya know? She captures something really true about the uncertainty of being our age. I cried twice.

H: Well, are you getting your period?

M: Ya know, I’m not, so…

H: What are you doing?

M: Just, uh, throwing out some old clothing I’ve been wanting to get rid of for a long time.

H: Well maybe you should give it to charity or-

M: I don’t think poor people need to wear my shitty old stuff on top of everything else.

Page 29: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

H: Well, I love that dress.

M: This one?

H: Yeah, I love it.

M: Really?

H: Don’t throw that away, it’s great.

M: You can have it. Don’t know what size it is though, might be tight. *throws dress to Hannah and walks out door*

H: Okay…Marnie, I did the stupidest thing at that reading.

M: I’m kind of doing this right now. Can we talk about it later? *continues to sift through clothing*

H: Alright, yeah…are you mad at me?

M: No, Hannah, not at all.

H: Cause you kind of seem mad at me…

M: I pay all the bills in this apartment. Does that not give me like one night off from talking about you and your problems?

H: Ok. Wow.

M: As it happens, I’m not always in the mood to talk about you. *heads to kitchen*

H: OK. WOW.

M: You know I didn’t even want to go into this but you pushed me like you push everyone about everything! *looks through fridge*

H: I push everyone?

M: Why do you always eat me yogurt? Don’t look at me like I said something awful because I really didn’t. *heads back into bedroom and makes bed*

Page 30: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

H: You think we only talk about my problems, like, WHY do you think that?

M: Because we do!

H: That’s not true, Marnie, we only talk about YOUR problems. It has always been that way. Seriously. We talk about what’s right with Charlie then we start talking about what’s wrong with Charlie. Now we talk about how you’re never going to meet someone. Cause it’s like you think meeting a guy is the main point of life so we have to have like a summit every day to make a game plan.

M: Ok, you jus t flipped this around in like a really crazy way. I am the one who has the right to be mad here, ok? I’m taking a very brave chance discussing my feelings.

H: Well you should maybe bring things up while they’re actually happening and then we could avoid these over rot conversations.

M: Ok, then I don’t want to talk about it anymore.

H: Well, I do.

M: Well, now I don’t.

H: Well, now I need closure. Ok?

M: You are so selfish! This is why you have no friends from pre-school!

H: Uh, I have a lot of friends from pre-school. I’m just not speaking to them right now.

M: No, you judge everyone and yet you ask them not to judge you!

H: That is because no one could ever hate me as much as I hate myself, ok? So any mean thing someone’s gonna think of to say about me I’ve already said to me about me probably in the last half hour!

M: That is bullshit because I could literally think of a million mean things that have never once occurred to you.

Page 31: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

H: Oh yeah, like what?

M: Well, I wouldn’t do that. *walks to bathroom*

H: Seriously, say one. Honestly, Marnie, you are so obsessed with success-

M: Oh my god. *begins brushing teeth*

H: and who’s who and what they have and how they got it. Like I was looking at Tally Shiffren the other night and I thought you probably wished she was your best friend. It’s pretty transparent. So you could tell everyone to tune in and hear your friend on Fresh Air.

M: I like being around people who know what they want.

H: People like you? Because you what do you want besides like a boyfriend with a luxury rental? Seriously that’s where your priorities are. You have always been this way and now it is worse.

M: No, you know what YOU are worse. I can’t take you anymore. You think that everyone in the world is out to humiliate you. You’re like a big ugly fucking wound!

H: Adam says you are teetering on the edge of psychotic misery but you’re smiling so wide that no one can tell. You are the wound.

M: I am not the wound. YOU are the wound.

H: YOU’RE THE WOUND.

M: YOU’RE THE WOUND.

H: YOU ARE THE WOUND.

M: Stop saying that. I am not a wound. You are a wound.

H: Maybe we’re over analyzing this and the issue is just that I’ve got a boyfriend and you don’t and it’s as simple as that. *Marnie throws tooth brush and goes to

Page 32: Scene Two for Voice II Spr14 Thurs Night

living room * That’s awesome. That is a really really mature way to deal with your FUCKING FEELINGS. *Hannah throws tooth brush*

M: I would back the fuck off if I were you. *threatens with tooth brush*

H: Oh, I’m fucking terrified. Seriously, I mean I’m not but I probably should be considering you’ve been batshit crazy ever since Charlie broke up with you.

M: Yeah? Well, you’ve been crazy since before I even met you. You’ve been crazy since middle school when you had to masturbate eight times a night to “stave off diseases of the mind and body.”

H: Ok, THAT is my most shameful, painful, private, secret! Ok? And it might sound like a joke but it is not FUCKING FUNNY TO ME. AND THAT IS WHY I TOLD YOU NOT TO TELL ANYONE.

M: I DIDN’T TELL ANYONE. I WOULD NEVER DO THAT, I AM JUST TELLING YOU NOW. I WOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE THAT, I AM A GOOD FUCKING FRIEND. UNLIKE YOU, YOU ARE A BAD FRIEND.

H: MAYBE THAT’S NOT WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO ME RIGHT NOW. I DON’T REALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT BEING A GOOD FRIEND. I HAVE BIGGER CONCERNS.

M: Ya know what? Thank you. That is all I needed to hear. I’m done.

H: What is that supposed to mean?

M: I do not want to live here anymore. Not with you.

H: Yeah, well, I don’t want to live with you anymore either. And I am not just saying it because you said it. I was thinking it but I did not want to say it because I am a good friend and YOU are a bad friend.

M: FINE.

H: GREAT.

M: AWESOME.
