Lovebug (2025) Movie Script

(car engine roaring)
(upbeat music)
- Well, are you gonna
say something
or are you just
going to sit there?
- I don't know what's happening.
- Just tell me what's going on.
- You told me to come here.
- Yeah, yeah, I did.
What the hell
are you doing here, Gracie?
- Are you gonna save this
relationship or not, Dougie?
Cause right now,
right now, it's all on you.
- I, I'm really confused.
I didn't know we needed saving.
- See, that's the problem.
- You've been stealing
from the register, Gracie.
Everybody knows it.
- Really?
Oh, come on, Brick.
Do you honestly think
I'm capable
of doing something like that?
- Yes.
No, no.
Can you,
can you repeat that?
- Oh my God, I asked you,
if you know how to
kill a man, Douglass.
- Why do you think I
would steal from you?
I'm your hardest worker.
Who else comes in
here seven days a week?
- The camera's
caught you, Gracie.
I don't know what
you want me to say.
- Well, Brick,
what I want you to say, buddy,
is that, it's a joke.
- You're joking, right?
You can't be serious.
- No
Look, I just, I need
someone more macho, okay?
I need someone more, mmh!
You know what I mean?
I need my man to
have the balls and,
the brawn to
literally kill for me.
- Did you have a certain
person in mind or
is this just a random
act of violence?
- I'll pay you back, I promise.
- Oh, really?
- Really, if you let me
keep my job, Brick,
I will pay you back
double of what I
owe you, I promise.
I need money to make money.
I'm sorry, I'm, I'm, very
confused on what's happening.
- I'm telling you right now
what your problem is, Douglass.
Why I know for a fact that you
can actually kill for me.
- I'm gonna open up to you.
You...
You don't know
how hard it is
to be a girl alone
in this world.
And I'm just trying
to live life.
God damn it,
I'm just trying to live my life.
- You are a parasite, Douglass.
You know that?
Okay, I have seen
your antennas
and they are protruding
and I cannot stop
looking at them
because they just keep digging
deep into me.
- If you need money so bad,
why don't you just
whore yourself out?
Greedy fucking bitch.
- What did you just
say to me, you fuck?
- Are you on drugs?
No, I'm not saying
that to be mean.
I'm saying that because I'm
genuinely concerned about you.
I care about you and I love you,
And so...
- Don't say that.
- I said,
why don't you find a job
that doesn't require any morals?
- I have morals!
- Obviously not!
- Get out.
- Amanda, come on.
- No, I'm serious.
Get out!
- Amanda, please.
- Go!
- Fuck you!
(upbeat music)
I'll fucking
whore you out, Brick.
What kind of a name is Brick?
I mean, it sounds
like a fucking Brick.
Stupid hair, stupid
face, stupid insults.
Fuck!
Whore me out.
Okay, man.
Okay.
(retro music)
Good idea, Brick.
Hey!
- Hey?
- Let me see your cock.
My wiener?
- Whatever you want to call it,
I don't care.
Just show me.
(retro music)
[Terrified by Thumpasaurus]
I'm terrified of these
emotions rising up inside
My head is spinning
am I justified.
When I say
I cant be in love with you.
But my heart says different.
And I cant deny.
When I think about you
babe well I could cry.
But I'm so scared
that this is a misfire
I can't help it,
know how I feel
No I can't suppress
what I feel inside.
Here we go
Here we go
Even though I'm terrified
It's alright,
I gotta shoot my
shot tonight shot tonight,
Won't forgive myself,
if I don't try.
I don't try.
Even though I'm
Terrified
To fall in love with you,
I'm terrified
To feel the pain of love
and though I try
This feeling of love.
Has overtaken me.
[soft moan]
[soft moan]
Won't forgive myself,
if I don't try.
I don't try.
Even though I'm
Terrified
It's alright,
I gotta shoot my
shot tonight shot tonight
Won't forgive myself,
if I don't try.
I don't try
Even though I'm
Terrified.
To fall in love with you,
I'm terrified.
To feel the pain of love
and though I try.
- Oh fuck.
Oh!
Has overtaken me.
[heavy breathing]
[door creaks]
I'm Douglass, by the way.
- That's a good name.
I'm Gracie.
- I like that name.
That's uh,.
- Really?
yeah, it's a good name too.
- Thank you.
- Totally.
- My parents picked it.
- It's a good choice.
So...
Gracie, tell me, do you uh,
do this sorta thing a lot?
Where uh, you meet
someone off the street
and then you bring
them and you know, they...
- No, no, um, you're uh,
you're special Douglass.
- Oh?
I must be lucky too.
- Yeah, let's say that.
- Water.
- Oh, thanks.
I uh,
I hope I did alright.
- With what?
- With the sex.
[chuckles]
You were more than alright.
So, tell me about yourself,
how did you end up
on that corner?
- Can we do a different one?
- What?
- Different question,
can we do a different question?
- Yeah, um, I got a couple.
What's your family like?
Are you in college?
- Enough about me,
what about you?
- What do you mean
enough about you,
I didn't get
anything from that.
- Yeah, that's totally okay.
That's great.
Uh, what about you?
What's going on?
- I didn't get an answer,
so you don't either.
Okay, fine, I'll go.
Stop looking at me
like that, it's weird.
Okay, well um, for starters,
I just got fired
from my job, so,
that's where I was
before I saw you.
- Shit, well, I'm sorry.
- It's fine, I mean I ended up
getting a good bonus from it
for the last couple months,
so that's good.
- Do you know
why you were fired?
- No, no, not at all,
it was like really weird.
- Well, it's their loss.
- Yeah, yeah, I was like a great
asset to the team, they said.
- Yeah, totally, and
you can find...
- I mean I just really needed
the money, you know?
- And my boss, my boss,
oh my God,
he was so rude about it,
guess what he said to me?
He told me that
I should become a porn star.
- He fired you and then
told you to become a porn star?
- Yeah, that's exactly
what he said, it's weird, right?
- Yeah, definitely weird.
I'd say that's really
odd to fire someone
and then tell them to
become a porn star.
- I could never do it though,
I'm way too shy for that stuff.
-What?
Gracie.
No, you'd be, you'd be
an amazing porn person.
I mean, you have,
yeah, yeah, you have those
great boobs
that just curve,
they curve really, really nice.
- Douglass, stop,
you're too kind.
I don't, I don't
know, I don't know,
maybe I would consider it
if I wasn't so camera shy.
[Gracie chuckles]
- What?
- It's nothing.
- You gotta tell me
now, what's so funny?
- No, it's like, no, it's
like really stupid, it's bad.
- Come on, tell me.
- Okay, okay,
okay, okay, okay, so,
so hear me out.
Also, I just thought of this,
so it's not like really
a fully formed idea yet.
You could be a star, Douglass.
I, okay, okay, I
know this sounds crazy
since we just
met and all but,
God, I don't know, I just
have this feeling,
like, like this really
special feeling
and, and again, I
haven't thought this out at all,
but you, you
know, when you feel
like in the mood
and you want to,
you want to buy a dirty video,
but you feel too embarrassed
to go to the video store.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's the worst.
- Right?
The worst.
- Hate it.
- Well, and, and
again, I, I know this,
I know this sounds insane
and I really haven't
thought about this much but,
we make the porn,
we make you the star,
and then instead
of having to buy from a store,
we send it
directly to the buyers.
It would be like
completely anonymous.
We, we could, we
could even have them
write letters back
and forth to you.
It would be like an entirely
personalized experience.
Would it, really be anonymous
if we had their addresses?
You know, it's better than
having another person
look you in the eyes while you
check out "Ball-Busting Boys 4".
So, so what do you say?
Do you want to,
to give this a try?
- I don't know, Gracie.
I'd love to work with you,
but this just seems like...
Look, what are you, Douglass?
Like 20?
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 26...
- 20.
- You're 20?
- Yeah.
- So you're 20?
- Mmhm.
You're 20.
- Mmhm.
You're 20!
- Yeah.
You're 20 years old, Douglass.
Don't, you want to matter?
Don't you want
to make some sort of
impact before you go?
Die?
And, and, and what
better time to do it
than while you're
young and you don't have
one foot in
the grave already?
I mean, I'm 21,
and I'm,
and I'm not going to college
cause I can't afford it,
but I'm still trying
my absolute hardest to succeed
because,
because, I want to matter.
And this,
Douglass, this matters.
Us meeting each other,
that wasn't, that wasn't chance,
that was, that was fate.
That was destiny.
That was Kismet.
I mean, think, think
of everything that
we could accomplish together,
the success that we could find.
It, matters that it matters.
- You really think it's fate?
Like,
we're really
meant to be together?
- Yes.
My God yes, I do.
Yes, it was fate.
- And you think this would work?
like we'd,
we'd make
some real money?
- With you?
As a star?
There's no doubt about it.
- Okay.
We'll give it a try.
- Oh my God.
This is amazing,
you're amazing.
- You're really good
at this, Gracie.
- What?
- Coming up with ideas.
I mean, you really just thought
of all of this right now,
That's...
- Once those gears
start turning,
there's no going back, so.
- So how do we get started?
- Easy, we start right now,
I have the camera and
the tripod out in the other room
- Oh, like now?
Yeah, all ready,
It's already there.
- How'd you know
I'd say yes.
- Because I know you.
You ready?
- Okay.
[camera flickers]
All right.
You can just take a seat
right there on the ground.
- Here?
Yeah, like right there.
- Okay.
- The other way.
- Scoot, Left, right?
- That's good.
- Okay, that's cool.
So, um, what, uh,
exactly are we starting with?
So, we'll just start
with a solo masturbation piece,
It's a classic.
- Uh- huh.
- Should we
do a practice round first?
- Have you ever
jerked off before?
- Yeah, like...
- Just like that.
Amazing.
It'll be perfect.
It'll be great.
Solid.
Yeah.
- Do you want me to look
directly into the lens
or right above it?
I could also...
I could look at you.
I could maybe alternate as well.
Here, um, lens, above, you.
Lens, above, you.
Lens, above, you.
Lens...
- Just look at me,
there's no need to alternate.
- Alright, yeah.
I could moan maybe.
Do you want me to like, moan?
- You could moan.
I would like that.
- Yeah.
I'll moan.
Is this a bad idea?
Like, are people
gonna make fun of me?
-What?
No.
No, Douglass.
This is your moment.
You're a natural star.
People are gonna be obsessed.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Yes.
Although, I did just realize
you're missing something.
- What?
What is it?
- Well, every star needs a name.
So,
[clears throat]
What about,
Dougie Style.
Dougie?
Like, like dog.
- Mm-hmm.
I get it.
- Good.
- Dougie Style.
I like that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Perfect.
All right, okay.
Well, um,
camera's all ready to go,
so I will just call action.
And then you can just do...
- That's when I...
- Your thing.
That's when I, I, I
start to touch myself.
- Oh yeah, you can touch
yourself however you want.
- Okay.
- And probably
remove your clothes.
- Smart.
Okay, like, yeah.
You can look.
- No, that's fine.
This is, this is simple,
just something to get you
nice and comfortable on camera.
Yes.
All right.
All right.
Ready?
- Mhmm.
- And,
action.
- Ooh.
- Yep.
Yeah, get more into it.
This isn't supposed to be
something that's realistic.
Perfect, that's perfect.
Okay, can you turn
to your side a little bit.
[Dougie moans]
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
[clock ticks]
We got a weird one.
How weird?
Inflatophilia.
Huh?
[upbeat music]
- Can we, uh,
go get some dinner?
- Dinner seems
like a great idea.
I need your help responding
to these letters first.
- Uh, you said
you'd handle that.
Can I just be the model?
- Yeah, but I'm trying to add
some personality
to Dougie Style.
- Okay.
- Look at this guy.
- Oh, he's actually hot.
- You think so?
- Yeah, look at him.
[exhales deeply]
- Okay.
[clears throat]
Dear Dougie Style,
I loved the new
solo tape you made.
- Oh, that's nice.
- Can you try sitting on a cake?
- No, that's odd.
- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It's easy enough to say yes
without us
just sitting on a cake.
It's just how do we make it
sound like you want to do that?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, I suppose I could say.
Hey there,
there's nothing I'd
love more than to sit on a cake.
- Right.
- It makes me hard and horny.
- I don't know.
That sounds kind of weird.
Let's try another one.
- Yeah
- Hi, Dougie Style.
I've been re-watching
all the tapes
you've sent me so far.
I like to imagine
you're here with me when I do.
Being able to
write to you like this
makes me feel close to you.
It's like I know you.
I really feel like I know you.
I imagine taking your head
and pressing it hard
against my wall as I fuck you.
I wish I could
just keep you with me
for days
as my personal fuck toy.
I want to break you.
Would you even
be able to say no?
I'm just jerking your jeans,
but I do wish
I could meet you.
Keep up the good work,
from, Bill.
[static sound]
[intense music]
[Gracie laughs]
Oh, that's weird.
What do we have to say to that?
It's just so weird.
- I don't like that, Gracie.
I don't like that at all.
- Wait a minute,
are you being serious?
- Yes,
I'm being serious, Gracie.
That guy sounded like a lunatic.
I don't want him
watching me anymore.
- Okay, okay.
Just calm down.
It's fine.
- What if he finds
out where I live?
I don't know what he'd do to me
if he found me.
- Douglass he's not gonna
find out where you live.
I don't even know
where you live.
If he finds you anywhere,
it's going to be here.
- How is that supposed to help?
Wait, why don't I know
where you live?
- Because it doesn't matter.
I feel like at this
point I should probably know.
- Gracie, I'm
freaking out right now.
- Okay, just relax.
Everything's fine, okay?
I don't want to sell
to him anymore.
- Douglass, he's one
of our top buyers.
If we let him go just because of
some little letter, then...
-Then, then what?
We still have plenty
of other buyers.
We'll be fine without him.
You're not thinking straight
if we start
cutting clients off...
- Can we please,
just go get dinner.
Please.
[car engine roaring]
This isn't exactly
what I had in mind.
What'd you say?
I just thought
we'd go out and
do, you know, actual like
couple things, you know?
- What do you mean?
We're a couple and
we got a couple things.
- Just...
I don't know.
- I don't know what you mean.
- I just...
It doesn't matter, honestly.
- It doesn't matter, honestly.
Come on, you know, you can't
just say stuff like that and not
talk about it.
- I've been putting
a lot into this,
the business side of things,
but also our
relationship and...
-Okay, so you're saying
I'm not putting anything
into our relationship?
- No, no, that's not
what I'm saying.
I'm just, I'm, I'm trying
to explain how I feel.
- Okay, so then explain.
Well, we're dating, right?
But we're also
business partners.
And sometimes,
not, not all the time,
but sometimes I feel like you're
putting the business
ahead of me.
And I-I-I-I am not
exactly sure where
I'm going with
the rest of this,
but basically I
want you to, or us
to put more into the
relationship, part of thing.
[police siren wailing]
[Gracie cries]
I'm sorry, uh, no.
- No, no, I'm so sorry
you didn't deserve any of that,
I've been such a cunt!
- No, you're not a cunt.
You're not a cunt.
- And the worst part
about all of this,
is that
I've been treating you...
I- I-I-I am so, so sorry.
No, no, I shouldn't
I shouldn't have brought it up.
No, I promise you,
you are so amazing.
You're perfect.
Come on, come on,
you drove me all the way here,
and you got me this Big Gulg.
- It is just a stupid Big Gulg.
- It is not a stupid Big Gulg.
I love Big Gulg.
- Do you mean that?
You love Big Gulg?
- Yes, yes,
of course I do, baby.
I love Big Glug.
I'm just saying, I
think we can both put
a little extra effort into the
relationship side of things.
I'm only saying that cause
I care about you so much.
- Thank you for
putting up with me.
I'm sorry, I'm such a mess.
- You are not a mess.
I totally understand
why you'd be upset.
- I just want to go
home and cuddle.
- Well,
let's go home and cuddle.
- I'm sorry for making you cry.
- It's all good, you're fine.
Why is this shit out already?
It's not even Christmas yet.
[Christmas jingle music]
Okay.
- Alright.
- Let's see this pickle.
[Douglass chuckles]
- You haven't even
had dinner yet.
- I don't care, I want
to see the pickle.
What if I told you
it's already here?
- No.
- Yes.
- No.
- Yes.
And if you can find
said pickle in 60 seconds,
you get to open up
one present early.
- Oh, I'm finding
this fucking pickle.
- 50 seconds left.
- Easy, easy.
Where's this fucking pickle?
What happens if I
don't find the pickle?
- Then I get to open
up one present early.
And 30 seconds remaining.
- You're blowing too fast.
10, 9, 8, 6.
3, 2, 1.
- It's not even real.
- I wouldn't put a
real pickle in there.
That would make it way too easy.
- What even is this pickle?
- Just a game my family
and I used to play.
- Well, I think it's unfair.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah,
Yeah, that was a stupid game.
And,
I think I'm gonna go now.
- Well, this is your place,
so...
- I really can't stay.
I've got to go away.
This evening has
been so very nice.
- I'll hold your hand
there just like this.
- My mother
will start to worry.
- Beautiful,
what's your hurry?
- I ought to say,
no, no, no sir
- I'm moving closer.
- At least I'm going
to say that I tried.
What's the sense
in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay.
Baby, don't hold out
Baby, it's cold outside.
[both laugh]
- That was sweet.
- Oh, fuck it, let's open
up some presents.
Yes! Yes!
Okay, okay, okay, hear me out,
hear me out.
Just one more.
- We only have one present left.
- Oops.
[Douglass belches]
- Oops.
- Disgusting.
- Douglass.
Douglass.
Oh my God.
- You like it?
- I love it.
Our tapes are gonna
be twice as good now.
- Um... Gracie?
- Um... Douglass?
- You're awesome.
- I know.
[both chuckle]
- Sorry, I just
had to finish that.
I'm into you, Gracie.
- What you're me?
- No, no, that...
I love you, Gracie.
That is a very scary thing
to say, but, I mean it.
I'm sorry if this is
a lot right now,
but, I wouldn't say this
if I didn't mean it.
This... us,
is something I see long term.
Like,
really long term.
- I love you.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Under one condition, though.
- What?
What condition?
- Yeah, there's a condition.
- Wait, no, I thought love was
supposed to be unconditional.
- Okay, okay well,
it's not a real condition,
I guess, but...
There's something
I need to know.
- I'll tell you anything.
Where do you live, Douglass?
- I live in a fire station.
Yeah, I was dropped
there as a baby
and left with a note
saying, I'm from Rosemary,
and from then on...
- You're Rosemary's baby?
- Yeah.
- You can tell me.
I'm not gonna come murder you.
- Why do you wanna know so bad?
- Douglass, you could live in
a McDonald's play place
for all I care.
It doesn't matter.
- Oh, I think it
would be a little weird
if I lived in a McDonald's
play place, you know?
Please?
- I live with my parents.
That's it.
- That's it?
- There's nothing wrong
with living with your parents.
If anything, I'm jealous.
You guys must be close.
Parents can be shit.
[Douglass sighs]
- That's the truth.
- Also, I want this
to be long-term, too.
I mean, we've been doing
so well with our tapes.
I can't imagine stopping that
anytime soon.
-Except?
- Huh?
- Huh?
- Did you say something?
- No, I, uh...
I'm just feeling a little tipsy.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
Oh, grab us another bottle.
[gentle music]
- Michael Jackson!
[Gracie laughs]
- Have you been
awake this whole time?
- Long enough to
see you staring at me.
Oh, yeah, you're
in through my slits.
- You really got me.
- No.
My good acting got you.
Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you feeling?
- A bit tired from
the last shoot,
but, otherwise
feeling pretty good.
- Good.
I have a surprise for you today.
[Gracie chuckles.]
- Oh, yeah?
What is it?
- Well, it wouldn't
be a surprise then.
- I suppose not.
Why don't you give me a hint?
- Um...
No, I think I'm good.
I think we're gonna
have pancakes first.
That's, not the surprise, right?
Gracie!
Oh, yeah, these
pancakes are awesome.
- Thank you.
I put cinnamon
in them this time.
- It's good.
Do we have to
film anything today?
- Nope.
You're off the hook.
We just have one business
related thing to do later.
- Is that the surprise?
- Yes, it is.
- So is it really a surprise
or is it just a business thing?
- Well, I guess it's
mostly a work thing,
but it is surprising how much
money we're gonna make from it.
- Can you just tell me?
- Fine.
You have your first,
fan meet-up.
- A meet-up?
- Yeah, I've been trying to
set one up for a while now.
And I know it sounds scary,
but it shouldn't take too long.
I'll be right next to
you the whole time.
- Are you sure this is safe?
I mean, why are you just
telling me about this now?
- Well, I wasn't sure
if the guy would
flake and he just
confirmed this morning.
- Okay, but I never
said I wanted to do it.
- I thought, that you would be
more excited about this.
I mean, that's why
I made it a surprise for you.
- I'm not sure, Gracie.
- Come on.
It's not gonna be anything
that you haven't done already.
There's a lot of
money in this one.
This could really
change things for us.
- How much?
That's insane, Gracie.
- I know, right?
How can we pass that out?
- Yeah, the money sounds great.
But the idea of
meeting up with a fan
who's a complete
stranger to me, it just...
Doesn't feel right.
I mean, what am I
even gonna do there?
I don't...
- Well, like I said,
it's nothing that
you haven't already done.
- Yeah, but what's that
supposed to mean?
What am I gonna be...
- Please.
I mean, just give this a try.
And, it's not just about
what the money
can do for us, Douglass.
If this works out,
then we can build up
Dougie Style to be a star
that's not only for the fans,
but that's available
to the fans.
This could be what launches us
into the next phase.
- Okay.
We'll give it a shot.
But, if I don't like
how it's going, then
I'm not gonna want
to do another one.
Okay?
- It's fine with me.
You know why?
Because it's not gonna go great.
And it's not until later anyway.
So let's just relax
and spend some time together.
Sound good?
- Yeah.
[upbeat music]
All right, made it.
Don't be scared.
I'm gonna be right
here the whole time.
- Here as in...
Like in the car?
You're you not going
inside with me?
Wait.
You don't want me
to watch you fuck him, do you?
- What?
I mean, I don't mind,
but I'm pretty sure
the dude's not gonna
want me to watch.
I mean, maybe
other people will in the future,
but I just haven't
checked with him.
I can't do this, Gracie.
I can't.
I just... I can't do this one.
You've done way more
humiliating things for money.
I don't see how this
one's any different.
I mean,
it's not like
the guy's fucking you,
you're just fucking him.
- This is...
I can't, Gracie.
I'm really sorry, but, no.
- This is why I didn't tell you.
I knew that you
would act like this.
- I think it's
perfectly normal for me
not to be
comfortable with this.
- I guess I just thought
you were more
dedicated to the business.
- It doesn't bother you?
Having your boyfriend
go fuck a stranger?
- I'm mature enough,
to separate what's work
and what's not, Douglass.
- If you had sex with another
guy for money, I'd be upset.
- Well, that's not gonna happen.
- I don't feel
comfortable with this,
at all.
I've done a lot, but I don't
think I can do this one.
It just doesn't feel right.
I'm sorry.
- You're right.
You have done a lot.
And it's all on tape.
All of it.
What do you mean by that?
But most importantly,
I believe in you, Douglass.
I know you can do this.
There's nobody else that can.
You're a star.
You're Dougie style.
You should be thankful.
You're building
something that matters.
Doing something that matters.
It's more than
you could ever ask.
- Why do you love me?
- What?
- Why,
Do you love me?
I know why I love you,
but can you say the same?
Being around you,
hearing your laugh,
seeing how smart you are.
But I'm not sure about you.
You make me feel needed,
but what does that even say?
If you love me, if you really,
have any kind of love for me,
I want you to say it now.
If you say it now
and you mean it,
I'll do this for you.
But I need you to
really mean it,
even if it's not
for the right reasons.
If you say it and you mean it,
I'm gonna keep it.
I'm gonna keep it!
I'm gonna keep it.
I just need you to mean it.
- I love you, Douglass.
You give me so much.
If I do this for you,
will you love me even more?
- Absolutely.
[intense music]
This isn't for me, Douglass.
This is for us.
[car door slams]
[intense music]
[static sound]
[car engine roaring]
- Douglass,
I'm really proud
of you for today, I mean it.
I should have told you
what the fan meetup was.
It was messed up, and I'm sorry.
Are you mad?
- No.
- You seem like you're mad.
- I'm not.
- It seems like
something's wrong.
- I'm just adjusting.
- Adjusting to what?
-Today.
I guess how things are gonna be.
- How are things
gonna be, Douglass?
We're both getting
what we want out of this.
I just...
I have to get used to it.
- Get used to what?
I don't know
what you are talking about
- To being honest.
It's not a bad thing.
We both just know what
we're getting out of this now.
Just, don't ever threaten
to blackmail me again.
I love you,
and I'll be a good
business partner,
but just don't
ever do that, please.
It was scary.
- I didn't blackmail you,
Douglass.
- You brought up how
you have me on tape.
Well, you know that,
you're on film
and that
our customers are watching
what you're doing, so...
- I know that, Gracie,
but it's the way you said it.
You made me feel like
you were gonna
show it to my
family or something.
- I don't even know your family,
honestly,
sometimes it feels like I don't
know anything
about you, Douglass.
You know what your
job is, and you know
what that entails, so I don't
know what you're so upset about.
This doesn't make any sense.
- You know why
you said it like that.
It was a threat, Gracie.
- You're not making
any sense at all.
- Can you just let me
go to sleep, please?
Or do you not want me to have
enough energy to film tomorrow?
- Quit it.
- I'm just being realistic.
Do you not want me
to have a good performance?
Wouldn't that risk how
many sales we get?
Wouldn't that do damage
to our revenue stream?
You wouldn't want that.
- Fuck off, Douglass!
- What?
What?
I just think we have to...
- So I'm the bad guy now.
I'm the bad guy
for running this and
trying to make
our business work.
Is that it?
-That's fine.
- Do you see all of this shit?
Nobody gave this to me.
This was all me.
I'm not some
fucking bum, Douglass.
You know,
I'm starting to think you must
have been a spoiled brat.
What did Mommy
and Daddy not get you
the new Nintendo
when you were a kid?
You may not want to
amount to anything in life,
but I have
seen where that gets you
and I'm not doing that.
I'm not gonna live
my whole fucking life
wanting to die the whole time.
And you should be thankful that
you don't have to
worry about that.
You should be thanking
me every fucking second you can
because I'm making you a star,
and that shit lives on.
Yep.
You want to matter?
You want to make
a name for yourself?
You want to feel important?
Well, now you are
and it's because of me.
So fucking ungrateful.
[Gracie sighs]
- I love you.
I love you.
[upbeat music]
[thunder clapping]
- Dougie?
Dougie is that you?
Oh my God, Dougie what's up?
I thought that was you.
- Hey, Amanda.
- Why are you out
here in the rain?
- I like the rain.
- Listen, Dougie,
um, I'm actually really glad
I ran into you today.
Do not call me that,
Please.
- Right, right.
Sorry, um, Douglass.
Uh, I wanted to
say I feel really bad,
like, awful, really, about the
way things ended between us.
I mean, I wasn't
being fair to you at all.
and, um,
I just,
I was just going through
my own stuff, you know?
- Okay.
- No, it's true, I mean.
I don't know if you could tell,
but, uh, I was
pretty coked out.
- Really?
- Okay, that was unnecessary.
- See ya.
- I hope you're happy.
Now, things are actually better.
- I have everything
I could ever want.
- I'm sure you do.
- There's something I
need to ask you about.
- Yeah?
- You called me a parasite.
What'd you mean by that?
Or was that just
the coke talking?
- Uh...
It was, it was just the coke.
Yeah.
Sorry.
- Yeah.
It's what I thought.
[police siren wailing]
[door bangs]
[static noise]
[background TV noise]
- Oh, I forgot to
tell you, I got those
new lights that I
was telling you about.
- Nice.
It's awesome.
- Still on for dinner tonight?
- Yeah, yeah, of course.
- I'm excited.
- Me too.
We should probably get going.
I think he wants you
there by 10.
- All right.
Sounds good.
I'm just gonna go
get ready real quick.
Kiss?
[background TV noise]
[tap water running]
[door knocks]
- Hi.
- Uh, I just wanted to check in,
make sure you're doing okay.
- Yep.
I'm good.
- I saw a cat today
that kinda looked like you.
Well, it was more
the way I walked, but...
It was cute.
We should get a cat.
- You know you actually
have to go to dinner tonight.
It's not something
you can just bail on.
- No, I know.
We will, I promise.
[tap water running]
[car engine roaring]
There's a lot of
money in this one.
- That's good.
- Look at this place.
No wonder if this guy's
paying so much.
I wonder how much
his mortgage is.
- Do you think that,
after 30 years
we're still gonna be doing this?
- God, I hope not.
Well, at least not,
you having
to actually do the work.
I figure we'll ride
the Dougie Style high and,
bring in the
money and then eventually...
We'll move on.
Find someone to
take your place and
we'll both handle the
business side of things.
We know how that shit works,
We'd be pretty good at it.
- That's gonna be nice.
- Good luck in there.
Last one of the week.
And I love you.
- I love you too.
[intense music]
[door knocks]
Hey.
[water splashing]
[gentle music]
- Just a little
something I can do.
- Wow.
Maybe we should head inside?
- You're a greedy little beaver.
Come on.
I'll make you something to eat.
[gentle music]
[inhales and exhales deeply]
- So, um, what do you wanna do?
We could go to your bedroom,
we could go to the um...
- No, no, no.
I just want to look at you
a little while longer.
That must have come
across so creepy.
I'm so sorry.
It's just...
It's the real Dougie Style.
Right here in front of me.
- Yeah.
Not to be rude,
but I do have someone
waiting outside for me.
So, can you tell
me what you want?
I don't do anything
without a condom.
- Dougie.
May I call you Dougie?
- Sure.
I already talked to your
manager when I was booking you
and I told her
I'd be taking my time.
So really, it's no rush.
- Alright.
I'd still like to know
what we're gonna be doing.
So, is there anything...
- Could you just shut
your pretty little mouth
for a second?
I just want to
talk a little first.
This is a big night for me.
Dougie.
Dougie, is there a celebrity
that you particularly like?
- Celeb... um...
I like Steve Martin.
- Steve Martin, he's fantastic.
Now,
I want you to
imagine that you have
Steve Martin sitting in
front of you right now.
Okay?
And he's ready to fuck.
Because that's what it's like
for me right now.
I'm about to fuck Steve Martin.
I hope you like steak.
- Yeah.
Steak's good.
[steak sizzling]
- So tell me about yourself.
What does Dougie Style
like to do in his spare time?
- Not much, honestly.
I'm usually just
with my girlfriend.
- She's your manager too, right?
- Well, I'm not sure if manager
is the right word, but yeah.
- How is that?
- How is what?
- Doing business with your lady.
- Fine.
You know, it's a part
of our relationship.
It has its ups and downs.
- How long has she
been having you do this?
Meeting up with people?
- A couple of months.
It's just a nice way for us
to make some more money.
- And you trust her.
I mean, she is the one
arranging all of these meet ups.
- Yeah, of course I do.
I think that she could
be doing a better job.
- What do you mean by that?
- I imagine pressing
your head hard
against my wall as I fuck you.
I wish I could just
keep you with me
for days as my own
personal fuck toy.
You remember that letter?
Hi.
I'm Bill.
Bill Hobbs.
You never responded
to me, Dougie.
And I was incredibly
hurt by that.
Please, eat.
- What is this?
This is a flank steak.
- Yeah, I know this
is a flank steak.
I feel like
there's a specific reason
I'm here right now.
- Yeah, you're right.
But I just want
to talk a little first.
This is a very
special night for me.
- Alright.
What do you want to talk about?
- How about
you ask me a question?
- I'm not exactly sure
what type of question
you'd want me to ask you, so...
- Why don't you start
with where I work?
- Okay, Bill.
Where do you work?
- Thank you for asking.
I work at the L.A Times.
Editor-in-chief.
- Wow.
That's awesome.
- It is awesome, Dougie.
It is, because I have a job
that gives me fulfillment.
I go to work.
I call the shots.
I make a living.
And as you can
see, it's quite a living.
- Listen, Bill, I'm
gonna be honest.
I'm feeling a little
uncomfortable right now.
- Oh no.
How so?
Well, I'm worried
that Gracie's gonna wonder
what's taking me so long.
- Listen, first of all,
nothing's gonna
happen to you
that hasn't already happened.
And second,
do you really think Gracie
cares about what happens to you?
I mean, it's not
really anonymous
if you have their
mailing addresses.
She did make me
promise that I wouldn't mention
who I was, but
where's the fun in that?
- Are you trying to
make me feel bad?
Or are you just trying
to scare me?
Is that all you want to do?
I mean, did you even
wanna have sex?
Or are you literally
just trying to punish me?
- Oh,
Dougie, of course
I wanna have sex.
First, actually,
I'd like a blowjob.
But before any
of that happens,
I need to know that
you know your place.
- What the fuck is your problem?
- Stop pretending like
you're not gonna do this, okay?
I'm sick of it.
I mean, seriously,
what's the point in pretending?
Just be yourself.
It's incredibly sexy.
- You don't know
anything about me.
- So I don't know
anything about you.
Tell me something.
Why are you with Gracie?
Is it the money that
she can provide?
Is it the men that
she gets you to fuck?
Or can you just not hold down
a regular fucking job?
I mean, what is it?
- She loves me.
I love her.
[Bill laughs]
- Oh my God, Dougie.
That's beautiful.
I mean, you're more beautiful
than I could
have ever imagined.
How'd you end up like this?
I mean, what happened to you?
- I'm gonna leave now.
- No, you're not.
Because that's not something
Dougie Style would do.
Okay?
You're gonna go in my room.
And you're going
to wait by my bed.
And then you're going to do
whatever I want you to do.
Because,
you don't want to disappoint
Gracie, do you?
No.
Fuck, I don't even think you're
capable of saying
no to anything.
So get the fuck up.
Come with me.
You know, I truly think
it's fate that we met.
- You really, mean it?
You think it was fate?
- I do.
I'm gonna go wash up.
[intense music]
You can do
what you want to do
anything you choose
but does it make you happy
at the end of the night.
And wow, who you wanna love?
But do they make
you feel
The feeling of love
At the end of the night?
And have you
ever asked yourself,
how come I'm not
happy when I should be happy
at the end of the night?
Well hey,
it's gonna be okay.
You'll make it
through the day.
We're gonna be alright
at the end of the night.
[Douglass sighs deeply ]
Cause all right, all right,
all right, all right
All right,
all right, all right
At the end of the
night, night, night
[Douglass screams]
We're gonna be
all right, all right
All right, all right,
all right, all right
At the end of
the night, night, night
The night, night, night,
the night, the night
And when
you're needed by a friend
Don't be afraid to lend
A good old helping hand
At the end of the night
And if it's not going
how you thought,
stop thinking
what you thought
and change the way you think.
Go on and give it a try
You can't see up from down,
just take a look around.
There is no up from down
at the end of the night.
Cause alright,
alright, alright,
alright, alright, alright,
alright, alright, alright.
Well I'm so sorry
that I don't know
what to say.
But I'll sit
with you and listen
And share with you your pain
And I cannot see the world
That you see
inside your head
But tonight
I'll try my very best
To be there as a friend
- What's going on?
What happened?
- I'm seventeen.
We're gonna
be alright, alright,
alright, alright,
alright, alright, alright.
Passenger seat now!
Please go!
- Okay!
The night, night, night
The night,
the night, the night
We're gonna be
all right, all right
All right, all right,
all right, all right
At the end of the night,
night, night
The night, night, night
The night,
the night, the night
We're gonna be
all right, all right
All right, all right,
all right, all right
- Hey, where are we going?
Douglass, please tell me.
Look, I'm sorry.
Okay, it was wrong
of me to bring you there,
I know
that, and I'm sorry.
The pay, Douglass,
the pay was unlike
anything we've ever seen before.
Just fucking say
something, God damn it.
What are we
doing here, Douglass?
What are you trying to say?
I need you to know how much
I care about you, Douglass.
Our relationship is complicated.
I know that.
But we're a thing.
And we're meant to be together.
And I don't know
what you did in there, Douglass.
I don't know what you did.
And I don't know
what you're planning to do,
but I hope
that it's not to throw
all of this away
because I need you.
I need you, Douglass.
I love you.
Don't you love me?
Do you know the day
that you fucked everything up?
Do you know what
day I'm talking about?
It was the day you
decided you were too good
to go fuck that first man.
Like, that was your limit,
out of all the nasty
and humiliating shit
that you've done,
that was it!
And everything was weird
after that because you made it.
You could have just done it
and not made me
feel bad about it.
You chose this.
Nobody forced you to do...
Your fucking 17?
I bet you're planning
on getting me in trouble now.
Huh?
Is that what you're planning on?
Well, good fucking
luck with that
because you played a part
in distributing it too,
so I hope you know
what that means.
I'm giving you one last chance.
I'm giving you one last chance.
You get out of the car,
we switch seats, and we go home.
I don't know what
you did in there, Douglass,
but you're a minor,
and we can claim self-defense.
We can claim self-defense,
but I need to know that
you're gonna
work with me on this.
And I need to know
that to everybody else.
I'm just seen as
your older friend.
And that can change
when you're 18.
We don't have a lot longer.
But if you don't work
with me on this, Douglass
If you let me get
out of this car,
I'm not gonna be able to help
you with whatever happens.
And,
more importantly,
we're not ever gonna be able
to be together again.
If we can't get
through this, Douglass,
if you can't,
if you can't work
with me on this,
do you know what
could happen to you and me?
and me.
Do you know what the fuck
could happen to me?
If you don't
work with me on this,
you could ruin my life.
You could ruin my
entire fucking life.
Do you even care about that?
No.
You've been thinking about that?
No.
Even after all
of this time,
all of the good times,
all of the laughter,
all of the intimacy...
- This isn't about
what you want.
Just stop.
I'm done, Gracie.
Please, stop.
[gentle music]
[gentle music]
[Gracie screams]

[Douglass sighs]
