3. Night on Earth
Hello? Oh, hi, Marty.
Yes. I talked to him.
Of course I know what he wants.
I've heard it a hundred times.
Oh, Marty. Go ahead. Just tell me again.
Try driving school, you fucking nimrod!
Marty...
I may be having a brilliant
streak right here in the taxi.
Yes, I'm really in a taxi.
No, I can't tell you right now.
Um...
all I can say is...
I have an idea.
No. That's why I don't
tell you things, Marty.
I'm sorry I sound calm. I assure you I'm hysterical. I'll call you the
minute I know anything.
Good-bye, Mar-
Good-bye, Marty.
All right. This is Beverly
Drive coming up. Where to?
Uh, just turn right on Beverly Court...
then follow the hill up
to Beverly Circle, please.
Got ya.
It's up on the left. 971.
- Want me to take these in the house
for you? - No. Uh, that's okay.
- Just put 'em over there, please.
- No, I got it. It's my job.
No -
Okay, that'll be, um, 33 bucks, please.
Okay. Uh, no. Keep the
- Keep the change.
- Listen
- - Thanks.
Can I ask you something?
Now, this is gonna sound a
little crazy to you, but, uh -
Well, I'm a casting agent.
That means that I go
out and I find people.
You know, for really big movies.
And I've been observing you.
And I - I honestly think
you have something special.
As a matter of fact, I'm casting a part right
- right now that I think you'd be perfect for.
This is a
- a terrific part.
You could be a movie star.
- What, like right now?
- Well, yeah.
I really wouldn't
want
to do that, you know.
I mean, I have a job. I really wouldn't want to lose this job, you know. I really wouldn't want to fuck
things up right now, you know.
You understand, right?
Well...
let's not be hasty.
Um, I'm - I'm - I'm serious
about this, you know.
I just want to be sure you
understand what I'm offering you.
Yeah, but, you know, I'm a cabdriver.
You know, this is what I do.
Like I told you, I'm
gonna be a mechanic.
I don't want to press
you.
I really don't. Um -
But I just want to make
sure that I understand.
Are you saying that you -
you just wouldn't be interested
in being a movie star?
- Nah.
- Hey, you could be a mechanic later.
Everyone wants to be a movie star.
Look, lady. You know, I
like the movies and all.
And -And I see you're
being serious, you know.
But that's not a real
life for me. You know?
I mean, I'm sure there's tons of girls
who wanna be in the movies and all...
and, you know, I -
I'm not saying it right.
It's just that I have everything
planned out for me, you know?
I mean, everything's going
just right for me now.
Well, you can't beat that, can you?
Nope.
But, you know,
I mean, I appreciate it.
- Thanks for the tip.
- You bet.
- Take it easy.
- Sure, mom.
