1
[woman] Can you see him?
Are you with him?
What does he want?
Ask him the question.
"What do you want from me?"
[suspenseful music climaxes]
What are you doing?
It'sit's an inner child visualisation
technique.
Yeah, are you a psych?
A trained psychologist?
No.
Then I don't really think you should be
taking wild stabs
at people's childhood traumas.
The details of this session
were in your treatment plan.
[sighs] It's easy to call yourself
a healer, isn't it?
To prey on people's pain?
[hesitates] II wasn't trying
to do that--
Spa, sauna, massage.
Stick to the bullshit you're good at.
Shirt.
-What?
-Give me my shirt.
[theme music]
[birds tweeting]
[hens clucking]
[inhales and exhales deeply]
[deep exhale]
Fuck.
[woman] You dropped your thingy.
-Keep it.
-Cool.
Probably get at least a couple
of hundred dollars for it on eBay.
Ahuh.
[woman] You've touched it
with your famous hands.
People are perverse.
Can I have some of that?
I'm Andy.
-I'm Hedwig.
-Uh-huh.
You look like a Hedwig.
So what are you apatient here?
No.
I live here.
[scoffs] With the mystic?
You're not like some kind of
shaman in training are you?
[Hedwig] I just help out and she gets
a fake daughter
until the real daughter comes back
from New York.
[Andy] Uh-huh.
So do you have the number
for a dealer or
Someone discrete?
[Hedwig] What do you need?
I could get some for you.
You don't look like a dealer.
Give us your phone then.
They'd have to come in the back way.
Fucking paparazzi are staking out
the front of my place.
Text me.
There's a path. I'll give you directions.
OK.
For some reason I feel like
I can trust you.
[mystic] Everything OK?
[Andy] Everything's perfect.
[car door slams]
[playful carnival music plays]
[phone ringing]
[woman] Where've you been?
I've been trying to contact you for days.
How's the new house?
-You picked this?
-Of course I did.
- I had Serge do the decor.
- Oh, it's a fucking mausoleum.
You could be in prison, remember?
How's the wellness place?
-[woman 2] Hello?
-It's a bunch of arseholes.
-You staying clean?
-Ah, yeah, sorry, gotta go Leila.
Great. Thanks. There's an extra hundred
in there for you.
Nice house.
You think?
Na, not really.
[thunder rumbles]
That's a very frank stare
you've got there.
Ahh, fuck!
It's all over now.
So where do you live when you're not
with the mystic?
[Hedwig] A house.
A house.
What kind of house?
A gingerbread house.
So, what's it like being an actor?
Oh, fuck.
I think it's the most beautiful
form of expression.
[Andy] Oh you do, do you?
You fragile and needy?
-No.
-Too bad.
Would've helped.
I brought you something.
What is it?
It's my audition tape. I'm applying
for acting school.
Oh.
You're a little hustler, aren't you?
What did you bring your CV too?
Most fucking entrepreneurial dealer
I've ever met.
I met a lot of dealers.
Just forget about it.
-Let's put it on, shall we?
-Give it back.
Forget it.
[Andy] Aren't you gonna hang around
for the Oscar performance?
Hope you've got your fucking speech
prepared!
-[rain pouring]
-[thunder rumbling]
Come on! I thought you weren't fragile.
[traditional Chinese music plays]
[phone ringing]
Who's the director?
[Leila] Uh, the writer. She's French.
And first-time director.
Jesus Christ.
And you'll need to test.
Oh, forget it. I don't test.
You do now, Andy.
The offer is conditional.
They want you to fly to Sydney--
No, no. I haven't tested in years, Leila.
Forget it, I don't fucking test.
[Leila] [sighs] This is literally the
first time my phone has rung for you
since this whole clusterfuck started.
MotherFuckers! God damn it. Hey!
-[Leila] Stop shouting!
-Call the police!
Move it, now!
[man] [laughs] Dolan, mate!
[man laughing]
Have a look at this guy!
Bathrobe and all, eh?
[Andy] Ben.
-Long time.
-[Ben] Long time alright.
Heard about your whole shitstorm, mate.
Yeah.
Nice place.
Uhm, got a call about a couple
of paparazzi trespassing or?
No. It's all good. They uh, they left, so.
You sure? I mean, I'm happy to look
around.
Yeah, no. Sorry you had to come up here,
it's fine.
OK.
Andy?
We should go for a wave.
Yeah, like the old days.
The old days.
Yeah.
-Sounds good. I'll text you.
-I've got your number.
[ringing tone]
[Leila] Yes, Andy.
Send me the script. I'll take a look.
But they come to me.
[ringing tone]
[answering machine] Hi, this is Hedwig.
I'm not around. Text me.
Hedwig, it's Andy.
Uhm
I-I thought you might wanna help me run
some lines. It'd really help me out.
So I watched your audition tape.
Oh yeah?
-What do you think of the script?
-Pretty corny.
Any questions about the scene?
Thoughts?
[American accent] Spare me the self-pity
you needy fuck.
I don't want to hear it.
- [American accent] I messed up.
-You blew up our entire life, asshole.
I'm sorry Polly, what else can I say?
You're just a hunk of meat that got lucky.
We had a good run.
It's over.
That's all I was to you anyway.
Stepping stone on your way
to something better.
Can't say or blame you, I guess.
Anything's better than rock-bottom.
[Hedwig] Jesus.
What are you do gonna do
when your looks fade
and nobody remembers your name?
Maybe I'll kill myself.
-[Hedwig] You don't have the guts.
-I'm serious, Polly.
Guess I picked a good time to say goodbye
then.
[gentle music plays]
I have a proposition for you.
You could go down on me if you wanted to.
I mean, you could pay meto.
[laughs] I don't need to pay for sex.
You pay for drugs,
all the things you like.
Just thought you might enjoy
going down on me every once in a while.
I'd get off on it too.
How much?
$1000.

[phone alert tone]
[ringing tone]
[Hedwig] Hey, Andy.
I'm at the headland.
[Hedwig] Are you OK?
I'm not that good.
[Hedwig] Stay there. I'm coming.
Andy, let's go.
[sombre music plays]
Do you want me to call anyone? Like
A friend or family or anything?
No, everyone's tired of me.
I'm tired of me.
Let me go.
Will you stay with me for a little while?
[birds chirping]
Wanna swap bodies?
No thanks. Penises are cumbersome.
They are.
Sorry about yesterday's histrionics.
I understand.
-You do?
-Mm-hmm.
Why are you sad?
What?
What happened to you?
Who did it to you?
I have a spare room.
I have a lot of spare rooms actually.
You could come live here for a little
while if you like.
[upbeat electronic music plays]
I don't understand but
It's OK. I promise.
[Hedwig] Call you later.
-Who's that guy?
-My friend.
I don't usually tell strangers
about the back path.
He's cool.
Well
Welcome home.
-Is that a cat?
-Leslie.
I fucking hate cats.
[upbeat Ukrainian folk music plays]
Hey! There she is.
Good news. You got the part.
Fuck. Good.
-I got the movie.
-Yay!
Got to start getting fit. Shooting on the
Amalfi coast in February.
You should uh, you should come with me.
You could be mywhatever.
You should just come with me.
Sounds good.
Who are you texting all the time?
Well, do I get a congratulatory discount?
No.
I never asked you
what you're saving for.
Freedom.
[relaxing music plays]
Can I help you?
Can I help you?
This is private property.
There it is. And here it isn't.
Well, I'm asking you to fuck off.
[suspenseful music plays]
Hedwig!
And where the fuck you going?
-Seeing friends.
-What friends?
I have friends, Andy.
Oh, you do? Well then, we should have them
over for dinner. I'd love to meet them.
When will you be back?
When I come back.
