00:09:44I can't give you anything.
00:10:13Oh, Mr. Edwards. Hi.
00:10:16Please, call me Mason.
00:10:18Sorry.
00:10:19Don't apologize.
00:10:20So make sure that you're comfortable here and everything you need.
00:10:25I guess bedroom is the opposite way.
00:10:28Oh.
00:10:29Oh, can you have the maid steam this for me, ma'am?
00:10:32Sure.
00:10:47Sit here.
00:10:54One scoop of yogurt, a half a cup of berries, and a cup of green tea is what you'll have.
00:10:59What?
00:11:00From now on, you will eat what I tell you to eat, sleep when I tell you to sleep, and
00:11:05do
00:11:05exactly as I say for the next three months.
00:11:09Is that understood?
00:11:10Do I have a choice?
00:11:11Do you want to be a star?
00:11:13Yes.
00:11:14Of course.
00:11:15Good.
00:11:16Eat your breakfast, and then meet me in the living room for your first lesson.
00:11:23Don't disappoint me there.
00:11:33I was rereading the script.
00:11:35I love the monologue in Act 2.
00:11:38Take off your clothes.
00:11:41Excuse me?
00:11:42Strip.
00:11:43Why?
00:11:44Our deal is that you do everything I say.
00:11:48Remember?
00:11:49If you're a man, I wouldn't.
00:11:51But I'm not a man.
00:11:52So what are you afraid of?
00:12:00You know what?
00:12:00No.
00:12:01I'm not going to let you humiliate me.
00:12:04You think your body is humiliating?
00:12:06Well, now I really have to see what's going on under there.
00:12:09You wouldn't get it.
00:12:11Try me.
00:12:13Because I can't stand to be looked at.
00:12:15I was teased a lot as a kid.
00:12:20An actor's job is to shed every ounce of inhibition in order to become a canvas for the character.
00:12:28Strike him.
00:12:42Tell me what you see.
00:12:45I don't know.
00:12:45I can't.
00:12:49Your long limbs and determined Josh are your strength.
00:12:55But your shy eyes reveal an innocence you haven't yet lost.
00:12:59Your heaving chest and flushed cheeks say.
00:13:04You're enjoying me looking at you.
00:13:06I am.
00:13:08Are you?
00:13:11That's enough.
00:13:13Wait.
00:13:14Don't stop.
00:13:17What about the rest of my body?
00:13:33You're fine and soft in all the right places.
00:13:39But your posture needs work.
00:13:41Strength comes from your core.
00:13:43Not only on the outside.
00:13:48But deep down inside.
00:13:56Do you like it when I touch you there?
00:14:02Do you like it when I touch you there?
00:14:09Hello?
00:14:11What is going on here?
00:14:13It's a disinhibition exercise.
00:14:15And it was working perfectly until you came stomping in, darling.
00:14:20Don't stop on my account.
00:14:21Please proceed.
00:14:23Can we help you with something?
00:14:25Yes, you can.
00:14:26Dan, I just want the two of you to know that the whole town is buzzing about the revival in
00:14:31your mentorship at the Bureau.
00:14:34Lookout L.A. wants to do a cover story on the two of you.
00:14:38Hmm.
00:14:42Not without a little makeover first.
00:14:47Shall we?
00:14:48Watch me walk away, putting myself on display.
00:14:52One, two, three, a day.
00:14:54I'm on my way, on my way.
00:14:56I'mma have you on tiptoes.
00:14:58Watching my diamond after a blow.
00:15:00I know you wanna take me home.
00:15:02I'm on my way, on my way.
00:15:14Now you're ready.
00:15:15Say goodbye to Vera Gibson.
00:15:19Say hello to Vera Grace.
00:15:25Vera Grace?
00:15:27Something the matter?
00:15:29Nope.
00:15:30Speak up.
00:15:32Sorry, it's just, uh, it's all happening really fast.
00:15:35You need to choose now.
00:15:37Do you want to be a star?
00:15:39We're not.
00:15:40I do.
00:15:43Vera Grace.
00:15:45Good.
00:15:47Yes, do you have a say?
00:15:49I had no say in my name.
00:15:52Bertie Edwards?
00:15:53Or it's kind of an iconic name.
00:15:56Not to me.
00:15:58I never wanted to take Mason's name.
00:16:00Did you really have to?
00:16:02It's not really a thing anymore.
00:16:05It was to him.
00:16:06And the Edwards family.
00:16:08Even in our prenup.
00:16:10I never wanted to get married.
00:16:13Mason practically forced me.
00:16:16He controlled everything.
00:16:17My name.
00:16:18My image.
00:16:19My career.
00:16:21My diet.
00:16:23Sounds familiar.
00:16:24It was different.
00:16:26Believe me.
00:16:28I lost control.
00:16:31Fame came overnight.
00:16:33I didn't have time to choose.
00:16:35I just went along with it.
00:16:37And now, fast forward.
00:16:40Fifteen years later, I'm really coming to grips with it.
00:16:45Bertie.
00:16:46Anyways.
00:16:48We should go rehearse.
00:16:52Okay, Vera.
00:16:53Try a sexy pout.
00:16:56So much for the next big starlet, huh?
00:17:00Maybe you just aren't good at your job.
00:17:05Close your eyes.
00:17:30Let's get you up there with her, Bertie.
00:17:32Come on.
00:17:42You two have an intense connection.
00:17:45It's almost like watching a proud mother with her daughter.
00:17:53What?
00:18:00I just want to be alone.
00:18:01Just ignore him.
00:18:02He's an idiot.
00:18:03It's easy for you to say.
00:18:05You're 23.
00:18:06Yeah, and you're one of the most beautiful women in the world.
00:18:10Don't...
00:18:10patronize me, Vera.
00:18:13I think...
00:18:15you're the sexiest woman I've ever laid eyes on.
00:18:23What are you doing?
00:18:25I...
00:18:25I thought...
00:18:26You thought what?
00:18:27I'm married.
00:18:29You've been flirting with me since the day we met.
00:18:32No, I haven't.
00:18:33It's called acting.
00:18:35I've been flirting with me since the day we met.
00:18:36So...
00:18:36You've just been stringing me along?
00:18:39I'm mentoring you.
00:18:41This is what it takes to become a star.
00:19:04I have to admit, I've seen those photos of you in the mirror today.
00:19:11Very, very, very hot.
00:19:26Ow, you're stubble.
00:19:28You like it.
00:19:29I don't, actually.
00:19:32Besides, you're reek of cheap perfume.
00:19:34Come on, Bertie.
00:19:35You know how we have eyes for you.
00:19:37For my wife.
00:19:43I said I'm tired.
00:19:50Wow, she's really making progress.
00:19:52Great work, Bertie.
00:19:54Okay, Vera, put your arms around Adam's neck.
00:19:56Adam, hands on her waist.
00:20:06Kendrick's sick.
00:20:07You want to step in?
00:20:09Sure.
00:20:14Vera, put your arms around Bertie.
00:20:17The torment of that woman's kiss, who makes us her footstool, her plaything, her toy.
00:20:24Sorry, this just isn't working without Kendrick.
00:20:27You should be able to work with any scene partner, including a chair.
00:20:31I'd take the chair over you any day.
00:20:34All right, let's take five.
00:20:35We got back two after the break.
00:20:40You can't talk to me like that.
00:20:46I'm sorry I hurt your feelings at the photo shoot.
00:20:50I overreacted.
00:20:52It was just a misunderstanding.
00:20:54Yeah, it's all in my head.
00:20:56Let's keep it professional.
00:20:58Okay?
00:20:58You're making great progress.
00:21:00I know you don't want to sabotage that.
00:21:03I thought I told you water or green tea only.
00:21:10You're acting like a child.
00:21:14Put that soda down or...
00:21:16Or what?
00:21:17I'll spank you.
00:21:20Put that soda down.
00:21:24Or there'll be consequences for breaking the rules.
00:21:28Prove it.
00:21:43Is this what you want?
00:21:45Answer me.
00:21:47Yes.
00:21:56Be quiet or I'll stop.
00:22:10I think that's enough for today.
00:22:13Give me the soda.
00:22:17Good girl.
00:22:22No.
00:22:23That isn't how this is going to work.
00:22:26You will follow my rules.
00:22:28Do you understand?
00:22:31Yes, I understand.
00:23:01Thanks.
00:23:01Thanks.
00:23:0833
00:23:1133 what?
00:23:1233 blueberries make half a cup
00:23:15Okay
00:23:16You get off on having all the control I see
00:23:21I'm doing this for you
00:23:23Whatever you say
00:23:27Without restraint, this industry will eat you alive
00:23:30Trust me
00:23:31Learn to submit here
00:23:33To me
00:23:35In a safe space
00:23:36Rather than submitting to the pariahs out there
00:23:41Submission is the only chance to understand true dominance of the stage
00:23:45And of yourself
00:23:47So
00:23:49Are you asking me to be your sub?
00:23:54This arrangement is for business
00:23:56Not pleasure
00:23:58What if someone catches feelings?
00:24:01As long as we follow the rules
00:24:03Everything will be fine
00:24:04The rules?
00:24:06Just do as I say
00:24:07It's that easy
00:24:11First rule
00:24:13No matter how edgy it gets
00:24:15You can always say no
00:24:17And two
00:24:19No kissing
00:24:20No sleepovers
00:24:22And no sex
00:24:24My purpose is to make a star
00:24:27Not a plaything
00:24:28Are you sure?
00:24:30You kind of seem to be enjoying this
00:24:33I enjoy doing my job
00:24:35Just business?
00:24:39Fine
00:24:45No, okay
00:24:46That made sense
00:24:47Alright, I'm off
00:24:48Oh
00:24:49See you at dinner?
00:24:50I forgot
00:24:51I have a late night meeting with a potential investor
00:24:54So
00:24:54Can we reincheck it?
00:24:55Sure
00:24:56Okay
00:24:56Have a good day
00:24:58Two
00:25:02Shall we?
00:25:12I want you to look at me
00:25:14Like really look at me
00:25:16All of me
00:25:17Not like a little girl
00:25:19Like a woman that wants to be touched
00:25:21Stop
00:25:24Breathe
00:25:25Take your time
00:25:27Again
00:25:29I want you to look at me
00:25:33Like really look at me
00:25:35All of me
00:25:37And not like a little girl
00:25:40Like a woman
00:25:42That wants to be touched
00:25:48Better
00:25:49What does this have to do with the scene?
00:25:51Acting is all about submission
00:25:53In order to embody the character
00:25:55You must submit to their every fear
00:25:57Every pain
00:25:59And every desire
00:26:01Submission is when you fully trust
00:26:04Do you trust me?
00:26:06Yes, mistress
00:26:08Good girl
00:26:23I want you to use that on me
00:26:36Are you okay?
00:26:38Yeah
00:26:39Do you want more?
00:26:41Yes, please
00:26:58I want you to do it
00:27:01I want you to do it
00:27:11I want you to do it
00:27:21don't listen to that it's not true session's over
00:27:31and if i know one thing to be true it's this as the moon is my witness i vow to
00:27:36never stop
00:27:37looking for you the memory of your eyes your lips your touch will never fade into i let's
00:27:44pause for a minute what is greta's objective in this scene she goes on this journey to
00:27:55find love you sure i think so
00:28:03you think so
00:28:07how can you act if you weren't committed to your motivations you must have full conviction
00:28:15now tell me again what is this scene about love wrong it's about desire aren't love and desire
00:28:25the same thing no love is what you feel here but desire is deeper now let's try and exercise
00:28:43okay tell me your fantasy now i can't why not because because it's about you
00:29:02for the purpose of this exercise you should share it with me well in my fantasy we
00:29:12go away together just the two of us
00:29:18somewhere quiet
00:29:21secluded
00:29:22no interruptions
00:29:25no one can find us
00:29:29and then what happens
00:29:32we'd open a bottle
00:29:36good italian bread
00:29:39then we'd play music
00:29:43and i'd cook dinner for you as you

00:34:24what are you making me for dinner
00:34:27pasta
00:34:30from scratch
00:34:33maison's never cooked me dinner
00:34:36let alone
00:34:37pasta
00:34:38well you
00:34:40deserve a
00:34:41big old bowl of pasta
00:34:43that's
00:34:44definitely
00:34:46against the rules
00:34:47it's my fantasy
00:34:50fuck your rules
00:34:58birdie edwards
00:34:59it's so dark in here
00:35:00i could barely tell it was you two
00:35:02sorry to interrupt
00:35:04would you two mind doing an interview
00:35:06yeah
00:35:07absolutely
00:35:09let's start with you miss barrett-grace
00:35:10how has it been having the one and only birdie edwards training you
00:35:14well it's been a lot of work
00:35:16but
00:35:18i wouldn't want to learn from anyone else
00:35:21she's the best
00:35:21you two must be spending a lot of time together
00:35:24you've grown close would you say
00:35:25yeah we've really bondage
00:35:27bond
00:35:28bonded
00:35:30we've really been bonding
00:35:31over our love of the craft
00:35:34birdie
00:35:35over 20 years ago
00:35:36you boldly introduced us to the imitable greta stone
00:35:40which made you a star
00:35:41how would you say
00:35:43your greta
00:35:43differs from vera's greta
00:35:46well
00:35:47i think my greta was
00:35:49curious
00:35:51but scared
00:35:52scared of what
00:35:54to come out of her fantasy world
00:35:57because of fear
00:35:58she missed out on true happiness
00:36:01but i think
00:36:03vera's interpretation
00:36:04is
00:36:06definitely teaching the character
00:36:08to go after what
00:36:09she desires
00:36:11i think this new greta stone 2.0
00:36:14wants more than to give in to her desires
00:36:18she needs love
00:36:23chris stone
00:36:24doesn't need anything
00:36:33shit

00:57:19earlier was
00:57:20a lie
00:57:21no
00:57:22of course not

00:57:26fantasy land
00:57:27this is real life
00:57:29so
00:57:30real life means
00:57:32always having to hide who we are
00:57:33never actually being together
00:57:35that's not fair
00:57:38tonight was fun
00:57:41but we have to stay focused on the play
00:57:42oh my god
00:57:44it's always about the fucking play
00:57:46oh your voice
00:57:46why
00:57:48i'm not afraid to tell everyone who i love
00:57:52vera what do you say
00:57:54i love you birdie
00:58:01clearly you don't feel the same
00:58:03i'm such a baby
00:58:08don't
00:58:10don't touch me
00:58:12ever again
00:58:22and i'm not for the same
00:58:39and i'll be together
00:58:43i'm not so happy to be with you
00:58:43but i'm not so happy to be with you
00:58:56I told you I didn't want to see you again why are you here because I wanted to let you
00:59:05know that I've been thinking and Vera I'm in love with you too. You mean that? Me too. On your
00:59:28knees.
00:59:45What the hell are you doing? Mason I can explain. No don't bother I already know about all your deviant
00:59:51behavior. She is not deviant. We're in love. You poor idiot girl do you honestly think that Birdie
01:00:02Edwards is in love with you? She only loves this spotlight. Oh oh oh oh and the 10% cut
01:00:08that she's
01:00:08making off of you. How dare you? You don't know the first thing about her. Mason is right but that
01:00:17was
01:00:17before everything. So it really was just business. It wasn't or at least not anymore. How am I supposed
01:00:25to believe anything you say? Why don't I help speed this up here? Birdie what is it?
01:00:48I mean the whole world knows about the two of you. Well done. So what? I'm not ashamed of who
01:00:55I am or
01:00:55who I love. Mason I am sincerely sorry. We didn't want you to find out this way. We never meant
01:01:02to
01:01:02hurt you but Birdie and I just want to be together. We should go to a press conference. Oh I
01:01:10want the
01:01:11world to know how I feel about you but you think that's a bit much? I already contacted Gwen's office.
01:01:16We're meeting her tomorrow. Good. She'll handle it. Wait what is happening here? Who's Gwen? She's our
01:01:23publicist. So you're just gonna have your publicist sweep this under the rug? This is how celebrities
01:01:30handle crises. What about starting our lives together? Living our truth? It wasn't supposed
01:01:41to come out that way. So what? It's out. I don't care how. I just care about being with you.
01:01:51It's complicated. Yeah it's complicated I'll say. We've got less than 10 fucking minutes to open this
01:01:57show and every single member in that audience is going to know about this scandal and it's your
01:02:01job to fucking make them forget it. The show must go on right? It's all you've ever cared about?
01:02:09Well good luck finding your new Greta Stone. No Vera you're not thinking clearly. Actually
01:02:14I've never felt more clear about anything in my entire life. I see who you are. A fame monster that
01:02:21he created. Always afraid to be honest. Show your true self. You're living in a gilded cage.
01:02:30Bertie. I mean if that's what being a star is then I don't want any part of it. Hey. Do
01:02:36you know how much
01:02:37time and money I've invested in you? A million girls would die to be in your place. You are an
01:02:43ungrateful
01:02:43brat. You're a joke Mason. And a sham. The only one with any real talent is Bertie and you've been
01:02:50riding her coattails for years. You may have convinced her that she needs you. But you'll
01:02:57never convince me. Listen. If you walk out that door. You're never coming back.
01:03:11Come with me.
01:03:15We can make our own art together just like we talked about. Please. I love you. I can. Good luck
01:03:35with the show.
01:03:45Ladies and gentlemen. I regret to inform you that tonight's and all subsequent performances
01:03:50of Stone's Fantasy are cancelled. Until further notice.
01:03:55Excuse me?
01:03:56Wait.
01:03:57Let me show you're back.
01:04:09This is what we need to do. Lots of couples time and charity work. In fact photos of you
01:04:15two doing charity work as a couple.
01:04:18Yeah. I used to volunteer at the children's hospital all the time.
01:04:23No you didn't.
01:04:25Well I gave blood once or twice.
01:04:31Why are we doing this?
01:04:32Because if we don't turn this PR nightmare around and get the show back on its feet we
01:04:37will lose every cent we have Bertie.
01:04:42No.
01:04:44I don't think it'll work.
01:04:45Trust me. This is a tried and true strategy of many a floundering celebrity.
01:04:49No. I mean this won't fix what's wrong between us, Mason.
01:04:58I'll give you two a moment.
01:05:03Haven't you caused enough trouble already?
01:05:06Just answer me one question.
01:05:10Are you happy?
01:05:12What kind of question is that?
01:05:13A simple one.
01:05:15Because I can honestly say
01:05:18I'm not happy.
01:05:21I don't know if I've ever been.
01:05:23How dare you.
01:05:26I have given you everything that you ever wanted.
01:05:31Except love.
01:05:34You're not leaving me.
01:05:36Because if you do
01:05:38I will take everything.
01:05:40I know all about the other women, Mason.
01:05:43You can have the house.
01:05:45But I want the theater.
01:05:48You owe me that much.
01:05:51You'll never make it without me.
01:05:55Maybe.
01:05:59But I'm going to try anyways.
01:06:13The number you are trying to reach
01:06:15is no longer in service.
01:06:17The number you are trying to reach
01:06:47I've never felt this free before.
01:06:59I've never felt this free before.
01:07:05Oh, Bertie.
01:07:10This is phenomenal.
01:07:15I was struck by inspiration
01:07:17and it just poured out of me.
01:07:20Did that inspiration take the form
01:07:22of a beautiful dark-eyed girl
01:07:23named Vera Grace?
01:07:28I love her, Cass.
01:07:31I'm no longer afraid to admit it.
01:07:35That's why I need you
01:07:36to tell me where she is.
01:07:38I'm sorry.
01:07:38I don't know, Bertie.
01:07:40She must have left
01:07:41a forwarding address.
01:07:43She did, but
01:07:44it was a P.O. box.
01:07:46I'm afraid I don't know
01:07:47any more than that.
01:07:48No phone number?
01:07:49Nothing?
01:07:51I wish I could help.
01:07:59I'm going to miss seeing you
01:08:00every day, Bertie Edwards.
01:08:02You are a true star.
01:08:09What are you going to do now?
01:08:11The only thing I know how to do
01:08:12is take this broken heart
01:08:16and turn it into art.
01:08:26Bertie, you have a new play coming out,
01:08:29A Masked Love Affair.
01:08:30Yes.
01:08:31It's a much smaller production
01:08:33than I've been involved with
01:08:34in the past,
01:08:35but it's the one
01:08:36I'm most proud of.
01:08:38You wrote,
01:08:39you're directing,
01:08:40and you're starring
01:08:41in this play.
01:08:42You're quite the triple hyphenate.
01:08:44Tell us about this play.
01:08:46Well,
01:08:47it's about
01:08:48finding yourself
01:08:49when you didn't even realize
01:08:50how lost you were.
01:08:52And it was inspired
01:08:53by someone
01:08:54very special to me.
01:08:56You're the only one
01:08:57that knows me.
01:09:00all of me.
01:09:03There are parts of me
01:09:04that came alive
01:09:05because of you.
01:09:07I'm ready
01:09:09to make this fantasy
01:09:13a reality.
