34. INT CHELSEA HOTEL – night
Edie is lying on a bed. In the room, there is two men. One, SILVER, is sitting next to her preparing to inject speed into her system. The second, MAX, is rummaging through her silverware drawer.
Edie: Who’s he?
Silver: Don’t you remember? This is my friend, Max. The guy who knows the guy who knows Alfred Hitchcock.
Edie: All right. Is your friend stealing my silverware?
Silver: No, he’s just borrowing it.
Edie: Just because I let your friend fuck me last night, it doesn’t mean he can take my silverware. Did he film it?
Silver: Yes, and you were great.
Edie: Ugh.
Silver: Are you done?
Max: Yeah, it’s a wrap.
[Silver tries on one of Edie’s fur coats.]
Silver: How do I look?
Max: You look groovy. Hey, Edie, can we borrow your coat?
Edie: It looks really good on you.
Silver: Thanks. All right, sweets, we’ve got to go.
Edie: Don’t go. Don’t leave me now.
Silver: Maybe I’ll come back later. Don’t forget to blow out all these candles.
[As the men leave, Syd arrives.]
Silver: Ciao!
Syd: Take off her coat, man.
Silver: She said I could borrow it.
Syd: No, no, either you take it off, or I’m going to take it off for you. It’s your choice.
Max: She just said he could borrow it.
Syd: Take off the fucking coat!
Silver: Hey, man, just mellow out.
Syd: Get the fuck out of here! Get the fuck out of here!
Silver: We were just leaving, man.
Edie: Syd? Is that you?
Syd: What’re you doing?
Edie: I said it all to him. I said it all to Andy. I said it all to him. Is that why you’re here? Are we going upstate, like Andy said? Because if we are, I just need to put a few things into a bag.
Syd: Settle down. He’s gone. Maybe when he gets back, alright?
Edie: Did my father call you? Is he going to lock me up again?
Syd: No. No.
Edie: Syd, could you at least stay the night with me?
Syd: No… Edie.
Edie: Lately I feel like I’m going to die.
Syd: You’re not going to die, Edie. You’re going to be fine, I promise.
Back in the day, old school writing. I was absolutely demented. This is just an excerpt from an entire script I wrote…
