[cards shuffling]
["Eternal Flame" playing]
[Boro] Touch.
Close your eyes, give me your hand ♪
- [tapping cards]
- [Boro sighs] And
[woman] Oh.
Geez, the devil? Does that mean
something bad is gonna happen to me?
It's cool.
- The devil isn't necessarily bad.
- [woman] But it's the devil.
The one and only.
But you know,
the devil can have all sorts of meanings.
I drove four and a half hours to see you
'cause I heard you were the best.
Is that all you can tell me?
[ominous music playing]
Maybe it's my mother-in-law.
We've never gotten along, you know.
And there's always weird things
that happen when I'm at her house.
Like, glass breaks and
[screaming]
[snarling]
went to the bathroom and
Are you even listening?
I'm gonna go.
Wait.
Does anyone know you're here?
[Pierre moans]
[dramatic music playing]
[winces]
[groaning]
[groans] What an asshole.
I heard you got made into a couch.
[chuckles]
I pictured more of a loveseat.
Oh, God.
You really did a number on me back there.
How'd you manage that?
I won't lie, I'd love to come down
there and take a nap on you.
Seriously, though.
Bummer to see you like this.
You deserve better.
Stay away from Lisa.
She's mine.
[gasping]
- She spoke to me.
- Who, Boro?
My mother.
Or something that wants me to think
it's my mother.
[breathing heavily]
Can you get the tongs from the mini bar?
What do you mean, wants you to think
that it's your mother? What did it say?
[Lisa] She said to come find her.
[whimpers]
Will these work?
Do those look like they're gonna fit
into a gunshot wound?
- What about this?
- [Lisa] Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Bottoms up.
[flesh squelching]
[groaning]
- [gasps]
- It's a bullet, not a splinter.
It's in my lung.
[groans]
Jesus.
[groaning]
I can't get it.
I'm just gonna have to leave it in there.
Do you have something
more urgent to take care of?
Yeah.
First, I'm going to kill Lou,
then I'm going to finish things with Boro.
Mr. Hardaway. So, my girlfriend said
the sweatpants are on her,
but the jacket's gonna be a hundred bucks.
- Yeah, that's fine.
- She's a little bit taller than you,
- but they should fit.
- Thanks, man.
Well, thanks.
Thank you, Roy.
Do you want a ride?
[Lisa] No.
I need to do this alone.
I think it's nice
you don't actually wanna die.
Hold onto that.
[ominous music playing]
[keys jingling]
[keys clatter]
[Lou sighs]
How'd you find me?
I licked a poison toad.
That toad give you my room key?
No.
My mother did.
I don't know what that means.
[sniffs]
But I'm done.
I give up.
Hey, Jonathan.
[Lou] Hey, Jonathan?
Jonathan, can you hear me?
Wanna say hi to Lisa?
He can't answer you because he's dead.
Happy?
[high-pitched ringing]
[screams]
[groaning] Oh, God!
[panting]
Ah
You came here to kill me, right?
So, just do it then.
Come on, make it stop.
Hmm. No.
I need to hear you say something first.
You want an apology?
Okay.
You got it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I stole your movie.
I'm sorry I hired a guy to kill you.
I'm sorry I rehired the guy to kill you
when he failed to kill you correctly
the first time.
Look at me. Is this what you want?
[crying]
I'm debasing myself for you.
Now will you please just
Fucking make it stop!
[sobbing]
I don't want an apology from you.
I want you to tell me what changed.
You never answered me.
What?
You bought my movie.
You hired me to direct it.
You acted like a mentor.
I trusted you.
I told you what that film meant to me.
And you fucking stole it.
So
what
changed?
In the car
you moved my hand off your leg.
Made me feel small.
[scoffs]
[laughing]
Wow.
I came in here ready to kill you.
But now
Ah! Excuse me.
[chuckling]
Ah
[Lou] You think you're fucking righteous?
You think it's
artist versus predatory producer?
What about your friend Mary?
Fucked-up kid you just used
and threw away.
I never meant for Mary
to do what she did to herself.
What about your other friend?
Isn't he dead, too?
Seems like everybody you come
into contact with gets fucked.
On the bright side
great, great congratulations.
You got your movie back.
But are you so sure
you're the hero of this story?
Oh, God!
Oh, my God!
Fuck!
God, what the fuck? What is it?
What How Something's in my eye.
Something's in my eye.
I can't fucking see. Help me.
- Help me!
- Okay.
[dramatic music playing]
What is it? What is it? In the corner?
Oh.
It's a worm.
- A worm? What the fuck?
- Wait, hold still! Let me look.
- What do I do?
- Stop moving.
- Get it the fuck out!
- Okay. Stop moving.
[Lou whimpering]
Ow! [groaning]
[whimpering] God!
Ugh.
[whimpering]
- [sighing]
- Ugh.
[groans]
[Lisa sighs]
[groans]
[clears throat]
[line ringing]
Yes, hi, I need medical assistance
in Bungalow 13.
[ominous music playing]
Hello?
Hello?
[branches rustling]
[Lisa sighs]
I'd be very careful if I were you.
Oh, yeah? Why is that?
That lady who was in my apartment?
She's a homicidal witch.
And this is, you know, her space.
I left that lady on your couch
with half her face ripped off.
This was my nephew's machete.
Maybe you recognize it.
He was gonna murder you with it.
Now I'm gonna murder you with it.
And maybe sell your organs
to some guy I know.
- Why are you here?
- That's a funny way to say thank you.
Boro told me about the deal
you made with her.
I said, "Hmm. Sounds familiar."
You get what you want, and everyone else
gets stuck with the bill.
Mary.
I promise you,
if you've gotten involved with Boro
that was a bad idea.
Is she here?
She will be.
Okay.
I don't know what the fuck
is going on here,
but I don't like it, and I'm leaving.
What's the rush? Let's talk.
I forgive you.
I can tell that means something to you.
So, yeah, I forgive you.
I would have never let you
do that peyote if I knew
If you knew I'd gouge my eye out?
It's okay.
'Cause after all that,
I finally saw the movie and I just
Wow, Lisa. No words.
[both scream]
Quite a movie.
Yeah, really, really something.
I mean, you're gifted, Lisa Nova.
A true artist.
[Lisa] What is this?
You let me pull my own eye out and eat it
while you filmed it,
and then used it
in your stupid fucking short film!
What the fuck? What's happening?
[grunts]
I can't see.
Huh. What's that like?
You selfish little vampire!
You used me! You're a bad person.
Bad! Bad, bad!
Oh, and another thing?
I killed your stupid friend.
[screams]
I stabbed him in the eye
so you'd know it was me,
but maybe that
was just too subtle for you.
Why?
Why'd you do that?
[Mary] I was hoping it would make you sad.
[groaning]
[Lisa] I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[shrieks]
[panting]
[breathing heavily]
I'm sorry.
I couldn't keep her here long enough.
[Boro] It's okay, sweetie.
I know you tried. We'll have another shot.
[exhales] Do me a favor.
Get Get me a kitten.
That little bottle.
I need every drop if I'm gonna jump.
- [Roy over phone] Hello?
- Roy, it's Lisa.
- [Roy] Lisa?
- [Lisa] You said you have a gun, right?
- [Roy] Yeah, why?
- [Lisa] I need to borrow it.
You're gonna need to be more specific.
[Lisa] I tried to break up with Boro
and it didn't go well.
I think I'm gonna have to be
more assertive.
[Roy] Jesus Christ, Lisa.
Are you sure this is a good idea?
[Mary] The blood will help you
feel better, right?
I think this body's
just starting to fall apart. [chuckles]
Oh, don't worry, sweetie.
What a face.
- I love it.
- I'm disfigured.
No, you're pretty.
Yeah.
If you weren't so fucked up,
I'd take your body instead,
that's how pretty you are.
- Do you want it?
- [Boro] No, I can't.
I'd be renting, not buying,
you know what I mean?
It's okay.
You can always be my helper.
She'll be back soon. Let's get ready.
[Lisa] Thanks for coming.
What kind of guy would I be
if I let you go alone?
- A smart guy.
- [Roy] Yeah?
- [Lisa] Yeah.
- Well, I'll walk away if you do.
I gotta finish this.
If I don't, she'll find me eventually.
You think she's expecting you?
Probably.
All right, well, I brought this.
- Great.
- No, I'm
I'm gonna hang onto the gun.
Okay.
When we go in, stay back.
And if you have to shoot her,
shoot her in the head.
More than once.
Don't hesitate.
And watch out for the girl
with the eyepatch.
[dramatic music playing]
[Ralph wheezing]
It's done.
- I'm a little disappointed in you, Lisa.
- [Lisa] Oh.
Well, I just dropped by
to say thanks for everything.
And that's that.
You did what you promised
I paid up.
I say when you've paid up.
[suspenseful music playing]
- [groaning]
- Here, kitty-kitty.
[coughs, then groans]
No more kittens for you.
You need me.
Oh?
[Boro] Yeah.
You got a bullet rattling around
in your chest.
What are you gonna do about it?
Tell me, what are you gonna do about it?
I can fix you, like
My fucking nails.
Pierre?
Like that.
[groans]
[coughs]
That was a freebie.
What are you waiting for?
Oh!
[chuckling]
[Lisa] Ah
Of course you'd pull that bullet
from my lung.
You want it to be your lung.
Oh, come on.
- Be flattered.
- [Lisa] I know the truth.
That entity that was following me?
She wasn't trying to hurt me.
She was trying to reach out!
[Boro] What makes you so sure?
Because she's my mother.
And my mom doesn't like you.
Roy!
Come and join us.
Hi, Mr. Roy Rogers.
John Wayne.
- You here to protect Lisa?
- Support. Protect.
Quite the hero you are.
Roy.
Leave. Now.
[Boro] No.
Stay.
- [Lisa] Go.
- [Boro] Stay!
All of Lisa's other friends are here.
In fact, Chris, come out here.
[branches rustling]
Code.
[Boro] He told me his real name,
it's Chris.
He's an interesting guy.
Did you know that he won
the national saxophone championships
in high school? [chuckles]
Had a great family, too.
You want me to shoot her?
[Boro and Mary laughing]
Come on. Take your best shot.
You know, Lisa
your revenge got your friend killed.
I could bring him back.
All you have to do is let me in.
You're strong. I see that now.
I can't jump unless you let me in.
Don't you think I'm smart enough to know
not to make another deal with you?
Aww
It's over.
[Roy] Come on, Lisa. Let's go.
[clicks tongue]
- No!
- [Lisa] Aah!
[Roy] No! No! No!
[grunting]
No! No!
No! No! No!
No!
[Lisa screams]
I say when it's over.
[panting]
[shrieks]
[yells]
[engine cranking]
[engine starts]
[tires squealing]
[eerie music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[sobbing]
[Alvin] There she is, fashionably late.
Oh, Jesus.
You're not much older than my daughter.
Oh.
Well, it's nice to meet you in the flesh.
Through a cracked door doesn't count.
Sorry about that,
I was in the middle of something.
No, no, no. Of course, of course.
You're an artist.
Yeah.
- So, what happens now?
- Oh, right to it.
Um, okay. Do you wanna know a secret?
Actually, it's not much of a secret.
I'm pretty upfront about it.
I have zero talent.
- Literally. Nothing. Nada.
- [chuckles]
I wanted to be an actor, I failed at that.
I wanted to be a writer,
I failed at that, too.
But what I do have,
like a congenital birth defect, is money.
And I like to plant that money
like a Johnny Movieseed
into artists like you.
How's that sound?
Sounds incredible.
So, do we need to sign a new agreement?
- Do you have a lawyer?
- I can get one.
- I will send an agreement over.
- An agreement that says what?
An agreement that says
that you write a script
based on your short
that you get to direct.
- How does that sound?
- It has to guarantee that I'll direct.
- Of course, of course. You get to direct.
- Great.
- I ordered the same thing for you.
- Oh.
- Thank you. Now
- Thank you.
It goes without saying
this is all dependent on casting,
so we're still thinking
Roy Hardaway, right?
- Mm
- [Alvin] Oh.
- Something change?
- Well
I've spent a little time with Roy,
and I just don't think
it would be a good fit, you know?
But Lucy Lucy is the lead role.
I'm more concerned with finding an actress
that can handle such an undertaking.
Yeah. Yeah, okay. Hey.
What about Charlie Suede?
Yeah.
She gets you a green light.
I I could try and set up a meeting.
Let me think.
How's I don't know, shoot. Tonight?
- I can do tonight.
- Great.
I'm having an art gallery opening
on the west side.
Charlie is going to be there,
and she is going to love you.
All you have to do is just sell yourself.
- I can sell myself.
- [chuckles] Good.
Here.
To a fresh start.
- Fresh start.
- Mm-hm.
Lisa Nova, writer, director, auteur,
making her mark in L.A.,
answering to nobody.
Except technically to me.
But well, you are the director.
Right.
Yeah.
Hey. I know things
got a little squirrelly with Lou.
But he is not involved in this one.
Which is good, 'cause you can't serve
two masters, am I right?
You're right.
So, we're good.
- We're on the same page?
- Yeah.
What? What
But you're gonna
I wanna make sure you're good,
you're all in on the movie?
- Okay.
- Oh, you're leaving. Okay.
I thought
I can send
I'll call you with my address.
- Or my assistant will call you.
- [Lisa] Okay.
[monitor beeping]
[door opens]
Oh
Daryl Hannah. I see it now.
- You look great.
- What happened to your friend?
[Lisa] Both his optic nerves were damaged.
He's blind as a bat.
Well, don't be sad.
He'll feel better soon.
Is Jules still here?
They made new lips
from the muscle in his leg.
- We're gonna be able to kiss again.
- Oh, goody.
Well, see you, Lisa.
- A woman will do anything to stay young.
- But drinking human blood?
Turn it off.
- You could still hear it.
- I don't wanna hear it if I can't see it.
[man] Yes, I've read of her.
- I can't tell if it's noon or midnight.
- She kidnapped young girls.
[woman 1] No.
Then she hung them up by the wrists
and whipped them until their tortured
flesh was torn to shreds.
[woman 2] Oh, yes, that's it. And she
clipped off their fingers with shears.
- [woman 1] No.
- She pricked their bodies with needles.
- [woman 2] She tore out their nipples
- Lisa.
- with silver pincers.
- Mm-hm.
- [man] And she bit them everywhere.
- [woman 1] No.
- [man] And then she pushed
- Good luck.
When they parted their lips to scream,
she shoved the flaming rod up
into their mouths.
[woman 1] Stop it!
[woman 2] Oh, yes. Go on.
["Rikki, Don't Lose That Number" playing]
[phone ringing]
[Lisa on recording]
Hey, it's Lisa. Leave a message.
[beeps]
[Alvin] Hey, Lisa. It's Alvin. Uh
You didn't show up at the party.
You're playing hard to get. [chuckles]
That's the second time
you've kept me waiting.
I forgive you. But, Lisa
Alvin Sender does not wait a third time.
So call me please when you get this.
- Thanks.
- [machine clicks, beeps]
Who are you?
Bye, Jennifer.
Mm.
[clicks tongue]
One-way ticket to São Paulo.
- Going to Brazil on vacation?
- No. Going home.
All right. Here you go. Merry Christmas.
Next, please.
