Happy Man

Welcome to Hollywood! What's your dream? Everybody comes here; this is Hollywood, land of dreams. Some dreams come true, some don't; but keep on dreamin' - this is Hollywood. Always time to dream, so keep on dreamin'.

Any questions?

Can I call you Eddie?

Not if you expect me to answer.

I would have stayed for two thousand.

I would have paid four. I'll see ya tonight.

Baby, I'm gonna treat you so nice, you're never gonna wanna let me go.

Three thousand, for six days, and Vivian, I will let you go.

Mr. Lewis? How's it going so far?

Pretty well, I think. I think we need some major sucking up.

Very well, sir. You're... not only handsome, but a powerful man. I could see the second you walked in here, you were someone to reckon with...

Hollister.

Yes, sir?

Not me. Her.

Let's watch old movies all night... we'll just veg out in front of the TV.

"Veg out"?

Yeah. Be still like vegetables. Lay like broccoli.

Look, I'll tell ya what. I'll be back. We'll do broccoli tomorrow.

I was very angry with him. It cost me ten thousand dollars in therapy to say that sentence: "I was very angry him." I do it very well, don't I? I'll say it again: I was very angry with him. "Hello, my name is Mr. Lewis, I am very angry with my father."

I would've been angry at the ten thousand dollars.
. . .

Did I mention... my leg is 44 inches from hip to toe, so basically, we're talkin' about...

[She wraps her legs around Edward.]

... 88 inches of therapy... wrapped around you, for the bargain price of...

[in unison]

... three thousand dollars!

I'm actually no, I'm not a planner. I wouldn't say I'm a planner. I would say I'm a kinda fly by the seat of my pants gal. You know moment to moment, yeah that's me, that's...yeah"

Matron

Did you enjoy the opera, dear?

Oh, it was so good, I almost peed my pants!

Matron
[Vivian walks off.]

Wha—?

She said she liked it better than The Pirates of Penzance.

Tell me, what kind of... what kind of money you girls make these days? Ballpark.

Can't take less than a hundred dollars.

Hundred dollars a night?

For an hour.

An hour? You make a hundred dollars an hour and you got a safety pin holding your boot up? You gotta be joking.

I never joke about money.

Neither do I.

[He turns to her.]

Hundred dollars a hour. Pretty stiff.

[She reaches over into his lap.]

Well, no... but it's got potential.

Kit

Maybe you guys could, like, um... you know, get a house together, and like, buy some diamonds, and a horse — I don't know. Anyway... it could work! It happens!

When does it happen, Kit?
. . .

I just wanna know who it works out for. You give me one example of somebody that we know that it happened for.

Kit
[They start talking over each other.]

Name someone? You want me to name someone?

Yeah, you know a person that it's worked for.

Kit

You want me to, like, give you a name, or something?

Yeah, I'd like a name.

Kit

Oh, God, the pressure of a name... Cinde-****-rella!

[Vivian pulls a fistful of condoms from her purse.]

Pick one. I got red, I got green, I got yellow... I'm out of purple, but I do have one Gold Circle coin left... the condom of champions, the one and only... nothin' is gettin' through this sucker. Whaddya say, hmm?

A buffet of safety.

I'm a safety girl.

Man, this baby must corner like it's on rails!

Beg your pardon?

Well, doesn't it blow your mind? This is only four cylinders!

Wow! Great view! I bet you can see all the way to the ocean from out here.

I'll take your word for it. I don't go out there.

Why don't you go out there?

I'm afraid of heights.

You are? So how come you rented the penthouse?

It's the best. I looked all around for penthouses on the first floor, but I can't find one.

[Vivian, smartly dressed and carrying many bags, stops in at yesterday's clothing store.]

Do you remember me?

Salesperson

No, I'm sorry.

I was in here yesterday. You wouldn't wait on me?

Salesperson

Oh.

You work on commission, right?

Salesperson

Ah, yes.

Big mistake. Big. Huge! [turns away] I have to go shopping now!

[Edward offers Vivian a condo, car, and a shopping allowance.]

What else? You going to leave some money by the bed when you pass through town?

Vivian, it really wouldn't be like that.

How would it be?

Well, for one thing, it would get you off the streets.

That's just geography.

Vivian, what is it you want? What do you see happening between us?

I don't know. When I was a little girl, my mama used to lock me in the attic when I was bad, which was pretty often. And I would... I would pretend I was a princess, trapped in the tower by a wicked queen. And then suddenly, this knight, on a white horse, with these colors flying, would come charging up and draw his sword... and I would wave, and he would climb up the tower, and rescue me. But never in all the time... that I had this dream... did the knight say to me, "Come on, baby, I'll put you up in a great condo."
. . .

I've never treated you like a prostitute.

[He walks away.]

You just did.
