Deleted Scene: Magnolia, Create A Crisis

 FLASH ON:

      INT. GIRL'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

     CAMERA DOLLIES AROUND a young GIRL (20s) on the phone.

                                 GIRL
                      That sounds like fun, Frank.
                      I love seafood.

                                                                 CUT TO:

      INT. FRANK'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

     Frank on the phone.

                                 FRANK
                      So I'll see you about 7:30?
                      Great, then.  Bye-bye, Cindy.

      He hangs up.

                                                                 CUT TO:

      INT. GIRL'S HOUSE - ANOTHER NIGHT

     CAMERA (HAND HELD) follows behind the GIRL as she walks from the kitchen
     to the front door, shaking her head, huffing and puffing....

                                 FRANK (VO)
                      You wait until about nine o'clock
                      and you ring the doorbell.

     She opens the door and sees FRANK, crying and hysterical.

                                 FRANK (VO)
                      She opens it up, pissed as hell, but
                      finds you sobbing your eyes out --

      Frank looks up at her and says:

                                 FRANK
                      ...I can't believe what happened...

      Frank and the Girl sit down on the couch together.

                                 FRANK (VO)
                      You explain between sobs that you hit
                      a dog on the way over to pick her up
                      and you had to rush it to the animal
                      hospital but by the time you got there --

                                 FRANK
                      ...and it's paw was sticking out...
                      and it was too late.  It was too late.

      She moves in and hugs him.

                                 GIRL
                      Ohhh, shhhh...shhh...Frank...

                                                                 CUT TO:

      INT. HOLIDAY INN/BANQUET ROOM - THAT MOMENT

      Frank is cracking himself up.  He continues.

                                 FRANK
                      I can't believe I'm telling you guys this,
                      but the truly terrifying part is that: THIS WORKS.
                      Any girl that calls herself your friend is not
                      gonna let you be alone in a situation like that.
                      Technique #2: Staging a fight.
                      This is not knock down, drag out, crying
                      screaming, yelling -- this is a simple,
                      direct and subtle way of planting confusion
                      into a girl's mind.  Remember we are using
                      reinforcement technique "G" with these women.
                      Here's how:

                                                                 CUT TO:

      INT. GIRL'S HOUSE - NIGHT

      The Girl picks up her phone and presses some numbers...

                                 FRANK (VO)
                      One day, she calls you up on the phone...

                                                                 CUT TO:

      INT. FRANK'S HOUSE - NIGHT

      Frank picks up the phone.

                                 FRANK
                      Hello?

                                 GIRL
                      Hey, Frank.  It's Cindy.  I'm wondering
                      if you wanna grab a bite and see a movie?

                                 FRANK (VO)
                      You very directly say:

                                 FRANK
                      "I don't think I have anything to say
                      to you, Cindy."

      Frank hangs up the phone.

                                                                 CUT TO:

      INT. GIRL'S HOUSE - THAT MOMENT

      The Girl gets the dial tone.  She looks completely confused and hurt.

                                                                 CUT TO:

      INT. HOLIDAY INN/BANQUET ROOM - BACK TO SCENE

      Frank speaking to the group:

                                 FRANK
                      Let her wonder what she did wrong.

     CAMERA DOES A SLOW DOLLY IN.  Frank's tone changes a bit, gets darker:

                                 FRANK
                      This is the way...because they will
                      always wonder, "What did I do?"
                      "What could I have done different?"
                      "How should I behave to get this back?"
                      And if they think that way -- then they
                      are asking for you to hurt them and
                      That Is What You Must Do.  That is what
                      you must do which is punish them many,
                      many times over.

Deleted Scene: Magnolia, Jimmy Gator & Paula

A subplot that was dropped. The part of Paula was to be played by David Mamet's wife, actress Rebecca Pidgeon, who dropped out of the role due to pregnancy.

INT. JIMMY'S OFFICE - THAT MOMENT

      Jimmy and a woman named PAULA (3Os) sit in his office. SLOW DOLLY IN
     ON EACH thru scene;

                                 JIMMY
                      You look great.

      BEAT.

                                 PAULA
                      What the fuck is this, Jimmy?

                                 JIMMY
                      ...you know...

                                 PAULA
                      Did your wife find out?

                                 JIMMY
                      No.

                                 PAULA
                      Then what?

                                 JIMMY
                      It's just...too late for me to be
                      fuckin' around.  I gotta stop.
                      I gotta clean my brain of all the
                      shit I've done that I shouldn't have done --

                                 PAULA
                      -- that you shouldn't have done?
                      That you regret, what? This? What's
                      this? Fuck, man, c'mon.  Treat me
                      like an asshole, but treat me like
                      an asshole.

                                 JIMMY
                      I don't wanna have to lie to anyone.
                      I don't want to hurt anyone else, anymore.

      She doesn't respond. BEAT. THEN:

                                 JIMMY
                      Thirty fuckin' years I've been with
                      Rose, don't -- y'know -- with
                      this, and I know what you think --

                                 PAULA
                      All your other fluzzies?

                                 JIMMY
                      Yeah. Yes.

                                 PAULA
                      You're making me feel so dirty and shitty.
                      I feel like a big piece of shit right now.

      BEAT.

                                 PAULA
                      Are you gonna tell her what you've done?

                                 JIMMY
                      Yes.

                                 PAULA
                      Will you say my name?

                                 JIMMY
                      If she asks me any question I want
                      to tell her.  I want to tell her
                      everything I've done.

                                 PAULA
                      Well can you do me one favor and
                      don't do that.

      Jimmy doesn't answer.

                                 PAULA
                      Come and tell me it's over and I'll
                      walk away, Jimmy.  I've fucked you
                      behind your wife's back for three
                      years, and you've fucked teenage girls
                      behind mine for the same amount of
                      time -- I'll walk away, you need something
                      for your life, for your conscience,
                      but don't put me in the middle --

                                 JIMMY
                      I won't.

                                 PAULA
                      What happened to you?

                                 JIMMY
                      I got in trouble at school.

      She stands and walks over to him, moves to give him a hug.

                                 PAULA
                      Are you ok?

                                 JIMMY
                      Fuck no.

      There's a KNOCK at the door and then it's opened by BURT RAMSEY (60s)

     He's the producer of the show; (WHIP TO HIM)

                                 BURT
                      Ready to run.  Paula.

                                 PAULA
                      Burt.

      Jimmy takes a quick shot, moves to Paula, gives her a tap on the
     cheek and says;

                                 JIMMY (to Paula)

                      You're a good one arentcha?

Deleted Scene: Magnolia, Jim Kurring & Marcie

 
                                MARCIE
                      I prefer to stand.

                                 JIM KURRING
                      I'm not askin', Marcie.

      Marcie sits down.

                                 MARCIE
                      I didn't do anything.

                                 JIM KURRING
                      Maybe you didn't, but I'm here
                      to find out about a disturbance.
                      Some neighbors called said they
                      heard screaming and a loud crash.

                                 MARCIE
                      I don't know a loud crash.

                                 JIM KURRING
                      And what about screaming?

                                 MARCIE
                      I said: I DON'T KNOW.  You can't just
                      come in here and start pokin' around --

                                 JIM KURRING
                      What's this, how did this happen?

      INSERT, ECU. THE FLOOR.

     An ashtray has fallen on the floor, cigarette butts all around.

                                MARCIE
                      An ashtray fell, I don't know, maybe
                      last night, I just woke up.

                                 JIM KURRING
                      You just woke up.  And what'd you have
                      a party last night, the way this place
                      looks?

                                MARCIE
                      I went out last night.

                                JIM KURRING
                      Ok. Marcie. Starting now I want you
                      to have a new attitude with me.  The more
                      you play games, the more suspicious I'm gonna
                      become that you've been up to something.

                                MARCIE
                      It's a free country, you can
                      think anything you want.

                                JIM KURRING
                      Yes I can, Marcie.  And until you
                      start givin' me some straight
                      answers: I'm gonna assume that some
                      mischief has been goin' on here.

                                MARCIE
                      Mischief?  What the fuck you talkin'
                      about, mischief?

                                JIM KURRING
                      Bad and illegal behavior. That's what I mean.
                      Ok?  Mischief.  Now have you been
                      doin' some drugs today?

                                MARCIE
                      No.

                                JIM KURRING
                      You on any medication?

                                MARCIE

                      No.

                                JIM KURRING
                      Been drinkin' today?

                                MARCIE
                      It's ten o'clock in the morning --

     There's a small THUMP noise OC. Jim turns his head quick and
     looks and Marcie freezes.

                                JIM KURRING
                      --- What was that?

                                MARCIE
                      I didn't hear anything.

     Marcie stands up.

                                JIM KURRING
                      No. No. Stay down, Marcie, sit
                      back down on that couch --

                                MARCIE
                      I don't have to do a god damn thing.

     Kurring gets his handcuffs out and handcuffs her wrist to the
     couch, she goes crazy, screaming and yelling the whole time;

                                 MARCIE
                      WHAT'S THIS? WHAT'S THIS? GOD DAMN
                      BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. DON'T PUT THOSE --

                                JIM KURRING
                      Marcie - CALM DOWN. CALM DOWN
                      and don't do this. I want you to stay --

     Continue with that until he's got her cuffed to the couch.
     He removes his REVOLVER from his holster and starts to move
     slowly down the hall to the back bedroom --

                                MARCIE
                      WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT?
                      WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, MOTHERFUCKER?
                      MOTHER-GOD-DAMN FUCKER.  WHERE ARE YOU GOIN'?
                      DON'T GO IN MY GOD DAMN BEDROOM.

     Kurring keeps moving slowly, gun drawn, CAMERA behind him;

                                JIM KURRING
                      This is the LAPD. If anyone is
                      back here I want you to come out
                      and I want you to show yourself
                      to me with your hands in the air --

                                MARCIE
                      THERE'S NO ONE IN THERE. STAY OUT
                      OF MY MOTHERFUCKIN BEDROOM.

     Kurring moves into the BEDROOM now and sees that the CLOSET is
     closed and probably the only place for someone to be hiding;

                                JIM KURRING
                      This is the LAPD, if anyone is in
                      the closet I want you to come out
                      and show yourself to me, slowly and
                      with your hands up --

                                MARCIE (OC)
                      THERE'S NO ONE IN THERE!

                                JIM KURRING
                      Marcie - quiet down! Now if anyone
                      is in the closet, come out now --

                                MARCIE (OC)
                      THERE'S NO ONE IN MY MOTHERFUCKIN
                      CLOSET AND STAY OUT OF MY BEDROOM,
                      STAY OUT OF MY GOD DAMN BEDROOM.

                                JIM KURRING
                      -- do not do this -- my gun is drawn
                      and If I Have To Open That Closet
                      you will get shot -- Step Out Now.

     Jim inches towards the closet, flips it open real quick and
     stands back, ready for something to jump out -- nothing.

                                MARCIE
                      I told you there was no one in there!

     Jim looks down the hall at Marcie who has physically dragged
     the large couch handcuffed behind her;

                                JIM KURRING
                      Marcie - Do not drag that couch any further!

     JIM'S POV, CAMERA DOLLIES IN SLOWLY TOWARDS THE CLOSET.

     He pushes some sheets aside and burries around to reveal:

     A DEAD SKINNY WHITE MAN (50s) curled up in a ball on the
     floor of the closet.  He'd dead and he's been covered in dirty
     laundry.  He has a gag around his mouth.

     HOLD on Jim for a moment, he panics a little and swings his REVOLVER
     towards Marcie:

                                JIM KURRING
                      What the hell is this Marcie?

                                MARCIE
                      THAT'S NOT MINE.

     Jim swings the aim of his gun back at the dead body.

                                     JACK'S VOICE
                         ...alright, let's get ready here -- 
                         let's do this -- we're rolling in 
                         two minutes --

                                                                    CUT TO:

               INT. JACK'S HOUSE - HALLWAY - THAT MOMENT

               CAMERA follows Jack down the hall.  He opens a door and looks 
               inside; Dirk is standing there.  Jack steps in and closes 
               the door behind him.

                                                                    CUT TO:

               INT. ROOM - THAT MOMENT

               Dirk looks healthier and cleaned up.  They speak softly;

                                     JACK
                         How are 'ya?

                                     DIRK
                         I feel great.

                                     JACK
                         You feel good, ready?

                                     DIRK
                         Ready.  Yeah.  I do.

                                     JACK
                         I'm not gonna do this fuck scene if 
                         you don't feel ready.  If you don't 
                         feel comfortable or ready -- you 
                         tell me - I'll call it off.

                                     DIRK
                         Jack.  I wanna do this.  I wanna do 
                         this good --

                                     JACK
                         -- 'cause I'll call it off if you 
                         don't.

                                     DIRK
                         Jack:

                                     JACK
                         Yeah?

                                     DIRK
                         My cock will get hard.  I promise 
                         you.  I promise.                  

                                     JACK
                         If you say you're ready, then I 
                         believe you.

                                     DIRK
                         I'm healthy now.  I'm strong.  I've 
                         been away....I don't ever want to go 
                         away again.  I want this.  I feel 
                         like I might break 13 inches.

                                     JACK
                         If we get in there and you don't 
                         feel right -- you tell me and I'll 
                         call it -- we'll just wait until --

                                     DIRK
                         Okay.

                                     JACK
                         Good.  Good.  You feel ready, you 
                         feel good?

                                     DIRK
                         Jack....I'm rock and roll.

                                                                    CUT TO:

               INT. JACK'S MASTER BEDROOM - MOMENTS LATER

               The Cast and Crew is waiting silently.  Kurt Longjohn and 
               Rocky next to the video equipment, Scotty J. is working the 
               lights.

               Rollergirl is on the bed in a bikini.  Amber is standing 
               with Reed off in a corner.  Maurice comes over and joins 
               them.

                                     MAURICE
                         What's up?

                                     AMBER
                         They're about to start.

               Dirk and Jack enter the master bedroom.  Jack moves to his 
               seat behind the camera.  Dirk paces over near the bed and 
               says a few words to Rollergirl.

               IN SLOW MOTION.  Dirk looks at Jack.  Jack looks at Dirk.  
               They both nod in agreement.  Jack speaks quietly;                  

                                     JACK
                         Okay, everyone..let's do 
                         this....Rollergirl: You ready?

                         Is my first line --?

                                     JACK
                         You say, "Jesus Christ, it's true."

                                     ROLLERGIRL
                         Yes.  Yes.  I'm ready.

                         Dirk, take a step back and you'll 
                         enter the frame without the underwear.

               In SLOW MOTION XCU, DIRK REMOVES HIS UNDERWEAR.  Rollergirl 
               gets set on the bed -- Kurt and Rocky ROLL THE VIDEO CAMERA.

               ANGLE, VIDEO CAMERA POV, THAT MOMENT

               The SCENE BEGINS.  Dirk enters FRAME, stands at the edge of 
               the bed and looks down at Rollergirl.  She looks at his cock 
               and says;

                                     ROLLERGIRL
                         Jesus Christ, it's true.

                                     DIRK
                         Hey....

                                     ROLLERGIRL
                         What?

                                     DIRK
                         My dick is so soft right now.  You 
                         want to see it get hard?

                                     ROLLERGIRL
                         Jesus.  Yes.

                                     DIRK
                         Suck it?

                                     ROLLERGIRL
                         Excuse me?                  

                                     DIRK
                         I said: Suck My Dick, Lovely.

                                     ROLLERGIRL
                         With pleasure.

               CAMERA DOES A SLOW DOLLY IN ON DIRK AND ROLLERGIRL IN PROFILE.  
               SHE DISAPPEARS BELOW FRAME...DOLLY IN ON JACK...DOLLY IN ON

               ONLY SOFT BREATHING CAN BE HEARD;

               CAMERA CONTINUES INTO A CLOSE-UP ON DIRK, THEN STOPS.  HOLD.  
               Dirk looks down at Rollergirl and smiles.

               SOUND UP.  MUSIC CUE FULL BLAST.

               CAMERA DOES A QUICK BOOM UP FROM DIRK...JACK...SCOTTY/AMBER... 
               AND FINALLY, A SLOW BOOM UP FROM KURT'S VIDEO CAMERA.  HOLD

Deleted Scene: Boogie Nights, Going Home

Dirk visits his parents house & finds Sheryl Lynn. The Sheryl Lynn dialogue/exchange here is much different than the version in PTA's final shooting script.

 

               INT.  DIRK'S CORVETTE - MOVING - NIGHT

               HOLD CU.  ON DIRK.  He's driving fast.  Paranoid and freaked.

                                                                    CUT TO:

               INT. STREET/OUTSIDE LOS ANGELES - DAWN (LATER)

               Dirk's car is out of gas.  He pushes the car off the main 
               boulevard and down a side street.

                                                                    CUT TO:

               EXT. SIDE STREET - THAT MOMENT

               Dirk pushes his car down a small cul-de-sac, hops in and 
               pulls the emergency brake.

               He looks around a moment.  HOLD.  CAMERA DOLLIES IN CLOSE ON 
               HIS FACE.  He looks at the street signs.

               OVERHEAD ANGLE, INTERSECTION, THAT MOMENT

               Dirk walks to the middle of the intersection and looks up at 
               the sign posts.

               ANGLE, STREET POST.

               It reads, "Troost Street."

               ANGLE, DIRK

               He recognizes this.                  

               He walks down the Troost Street, looking at the houses.  
               CAMERA FOLLOWS BEHIND HIM.  He walks a full two blocks down, 
               stops.

               ANGLE, DIRK'S PARENTS HOUSE.  It looks just the same.  The 
               SUN IS ABOUT TO COME UP.

               A PAPERBOY rides past and throws the paper, hitting Dirk in 
               the head.  He hesitates, then walks up the steps;

               CAMERA MOVES IN SLOWLY ON THE DOOR, LANDS IN A CU.  OVER HIS 
               SHOULDER.  He knocks.  Moments later...the door opens;

               A young woman in a bathrobe with a BABY on her hip opens the 
               door.  This is SHERYL LYNN, who we met earlier.

                                     SHERYL LYNN
                         Yes?

                                     DIRK
                         ....hello.

                                     SHERYL LYNN
                         Can I help you?

               BEAT.

                         Eddie...?  Eddie.

               Dirk hesitates a moment, then recognizes Sheryl Lynn.

                                     DIRK
                         ...what are you doing here?  Where's 
                         my mother?

                                     SHERYL LYNN
                         Eddie, I haven't, no one has heard 
                         of you...where did you go?

                                     DIRK
                         ...I'm looking for my mother...I'm 
                         looking for my father and mother.

                                     SHERYL LYNN
                         Eddie, honey...my God...you just...

                                     DIRK
                         What are you in this house?  I don't 
                         want to see you, I want my mother.                  

                                     SHERYL LYNN
                         I live here, now.  With my husband.

                                     DIRK
                         Where's my mom?

                                     SHERYL LYNN
                         You should come in --

               BEAT.  HOLD CU.  ON DIRK.

                                     DIRK
                         No....no.  Jesus Christ, I know what 
                         you're gonna say --

                         Eddie, I can tell you what happened, 
                         just let me tell you inside here --

                         They passed...last December --

               The baby starts to cry.  Dirk doesn't move;

                         ...how...?

                         There was no way to find you, to get 
                         in touch with you.  To tell you all 
                         these things --

                         Eddie, it was at night and it was 
                         raining and there was a man and he 
                         was speeding and he was drunk and 
                         they didn't --                  

                                                                  FLASH ON:

               EXT.  INTERSECTION - NIGHT

               It's raining.  A little Station Wagon enters the intersection 
               with the right of way but is IMMEDIATELY AND POWERFULLY 
               CRUNCHED by a SPEEDING MALIBU that barrels into the 
               intersection.

               The STATION WAGON is THROWN fifty yards away.  A HORN blows...

               CAMERA DOES A SLOW DOLLY IN TOWARDS THE STATION WAGON.  Dirk's 
               mother and father are SOAKED IN BLOOD.

               CAMERA DOES A SLOW DOLLY IN TOWARDS THE SPEEDING MALIBU.  
               Half in/half through the windshield of this car is JOHNNY 
               DOE.

                         It was just some drunk kid, Eddie.

                                     DIRK
                         -- Why do you live here?

                                     SHERYL LYNN
                         My husband and I bought this house.

                                     DIRK
                         Why?  Why did you do that?

                                     SHERYL LYNN
                         Eddie, please --

                                     DIRK
                         This is my house.  THIS IS MY HOUSE.  
                         What the fuck?  What the fuck are 
                         you doing here?  I don't want to see 
                         you, I need to see my mother.  I 
                         want my mother.

               Dirk breaks down, crying and screaming.  Sheryl Lynn helps 
               him up.                  

                                                                    CUT TO:

               CAMERA HOLDS IN THE KITCHEN.  Sheryl Lynn makes breakfast 
               with the baby on her hip.  Her HUSBAND sits nearby in his 
               bathrobe, watching the situation and keeping quiet.

               Dirk is on the phone in the living room.  WE HEAR ONLY MUFFLED 
               BITS FROM HIS CONVERSATION.

                                     DIRK
                              (into phone)

                         little...

               Dirk hangs up, looks at Sheryl Lynn and her husband.

                                                                    CUT TO:

               Sheryl Lynn gives Dirk a hug good-bye.  The Husband backs 
               his station wagon out of the garage and Dirk gets in.

                                                                    CUT TO:

Deleted Scene: Boogie Nights, Rahad's Last Stand

               INT.  RAHAD JACKSON'S HOUSE - THAT MOMENT

               Rahad storms around his house, the SHOTGUN in his hand.  The 
               two battered young women are shaking and shivering in a corner 
               of the room.

                                     RAHAD
                         What the fuck...what the fuck...what 
                         the fuck.

               Rahad rants and raves incoherently, sets down the shotgun 
               for a moment to take a hit from his crack pipe.  HOLD, THEN:

               ANGLE, A WALL IN THE HOUSE

               A red flash hits the wall.....then a blue flash hits the 
               wall.

               ANGLE, RAHAD

               He looks at the wall and sees the red-blue flash.  He turns 
               and looks out his window.

               ANGLE, THE WINDOW

               A whole collage of red/white/blue flashing lights.  Sounds 
               of POLICE ACTION outside....

               CAMERA DOLLIES IN ON RAHAD.  He smiles.

                                     RAHAD
                         It's coming down, coming down.

               Rahad moves to the window and pulls aside the curtains.  
               POLICE SOUNDS, BULLHORN CALLS, FOLLOWED BY THE WHIRL OF A 
               POLICE HELICOPTER AND SPOTLIGHT.

               ...RAHAD PICKS UP THE SHOTGUN, SMASHES THE WINDOW AND FIRES 
               OFF A SHOT AT THE POLICE OUTSIDE...

               ...POLICE FIRE BACK ABOUT ONE MILLION BULLETS THAT RIP INTO 
               RAHAD, SENDING HIM BACK, STUMBLING ACROSS THE HOUSE, FURTHER 
               AND FURTHER....BULLETS RIP INTO THE TWO GIRLS, KILLING THEM.                

               OVERHEAD ANGLE, LOOKING DOWN ONTO:

               Rahad's dead body fall's next to Todd's dead body.  Next to 
               them on the floor are the two paper bags full of baking soda 
               and cash.

Deleted Scene: Boogie Nights, Becky & Mr. Brown

A nice elderly man befriends Becky after Dirk fails to show up.

               INT. BAKERSFIELD DENNY'S - NIGHT (LATER)

               Becky is sitting at the counter.  A few seats over from her 
               is an OLDER MAN (late 60s).  He dressed in an old grey suit 
               and tie.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         Are you alright, ma'am?

                                     BECKY
                         What?

                                     OLDER MAN
                         Are you going to be alright?  You 
                         seem....you've been sitting there.  
                         A while now.  And I want to know if 
                         you're going to be alright.

                                     BECKY
                         Yes.

               HOLD.  Becky looks down.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         Do you want to order something?  A 
                         bowl of soup?

                                     BECKY
                         My friend was supposed to come here 
                         and get me, but he hasn't come.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         Yes.  Well why don't you let me buy 
                         you some soup while you wait for 
                         your friend?

                                     BECKY
                         No.  No.  I'm not hungry.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         You seem hurt and lost.  I'm an old 
                         man so I see this, and, knowing that 
                         I don't have much time left to live 
                         on this earth, it hurts my heart to 
                         see people in pain -- more than it 
                         did when I was young, because then I 
                         didn't care.  I was a cold young 
                         man, But now, in age, I have a desire 
                         to help -- because I'd like to think 
                         that I've done good things in my 
                         life.                  

                                     BECKY
                         Why?

                                     OLDER MAN
                         To be good.  To do good deeds.  Maybe; 
                         Well.  To make up for things that I 
                         have done in the past.  Maybe I've 
                         done things that weren't good...so 
                         now I try to do the opposite.  Do 
                         you see?

                                     BECKY
                         Yes.

               The Older Man reaches into his pockets, takes out a quarter 
               and places it on the counter in front of Becky.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         Why don't you try calling your friend?
                              (beat)
                         You should call your friend, to see 
                         where he is and when he'll be here 
                         for you. 

                                     BECKY
                         I don't think he cares.  I think he 
                         might have lied to me.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         Maybe not.  Maybe something happened 
                         that was beyond his control.

                                     BECKY
                         Maybe.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         Use the quarter, young lady.

                                     BECKY
                         Thank you.

               Becky takes the quarter and walks to the pay phone.  


               INT.  DIRK'S APARTMENT - THAT MOMENT

               Dirk is sitting in the kitchen, smoking his coke pipe.

               The PHONE RINGS.  CAMERA DOLLIES IN ON DIRK.  He watches the 
               phone ring and ring and ring.  Finally, it stops.

               Dirk stands up, walks to the front window in the apartment.  
               He pushes the curtains to the side, and looks out.  HOLD.  
               He puts his ear to the window, then closes the curtains and 
               walks back to the kitchen area.

                                                                    CUT TO:

               INT. DENNY'S - MOMENTS LATER

               Becky is sitting in a booth across from the Older Man.  She's 
               crying.

                                     BECKY
                         I don't know where to go.  I don't 
                         have anywhere to go, I can't get 
                         anywhere.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         It's alright.  It's alright, young 
                         lady.

                                     BECKY
                         I'm so sorry to make you hear this.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         I want to help you.

                                     BECKY
                         No, I can't.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         You need help.  You need someplace 
                         to sleep and to wash.  You can't 
                         stay here.  I want to help you.

                                     BECKY
                         You're a nice man.

                                     OLDER MAN
                         Listen to me a moment, please.  
                         Please.  Look up at me; I'm trying 
                         to do things.  Like I told you before.  
                         Let me help you.

               He stands and holds a hand out to her.  She reaches for his 
               hand. 
                 

               EXT.  BAKERSFIELD RETIREMENT HOME - NIGHT

               Becky and the Older Man walk a path up to a small retirement 
               home on a small, suburban street.

                                                                    CUT TO:

               INT. RETIREMENT HOME - THAT MOMENT

               They enter, make a beeline for some stairs.  A NURSE spots 
               them;

                                     NURSE
                         Mr. Brown...Mr.  Brown you can't 
                         bring visitors in here.. Mr. Brown.

               Becky and Mr. Brown walk past the Nurse and up the stairs.

                                                                    CUT TO:

               INT. MR BROWN'S ROOM - LATER

               Mr. Brown sets Becky up in a chair near a window.  He brings 
               her a blanket and tucks her in like a child, then climbs 
               into his own bed.

                                     BECKY
                         Thank you.

                                     MR. BROWN
                         You'd do the same for me.

               CAMERA DOES A SLOW DOLLY IN ON MR. BROWN as he falls asleep.

Deleted Scene: Boogie Nights, A Terrible Thing to Waste...

A lengthy scene where Floyd Gondolli talks with Dirk on the beach.

      

               EXT.  MALIBU BEACH - MORNING

               CAMERA holds on Dirk, who's curled into a fetal position, 
               sleeping in the sand.  He's very thin and very sick looking 
               now.  His hair is long and in his face.

                                     VOICE (OC)
                         ...Dirk....

               Dirk comes to, looks up into the eyes of FLOYD GONDOLLI.  He 
               wears a jogging suit and sunglasses.

                                     FLOYD

                         Yeah...hey...

                                     FLOYD
                         Watcha doin' out here?

                         ....just...um...sleeping...?

                                     FLOYD
                         Mind if I pull up a chair?

                                     DIRK
                         No...I don't mind.

               Floyd sits in the sand next to Dirk.

                                     FLOYD
                         I haven't seen you around in a while, 
                         I haven't seen you working.

                         I've been doing some other 
                         projects...did I sleep here?

                                     FLOYD
                         I dunno...did you?

                                     DIRK
                         How did I get here?

                                     FLOYD
                         I don't know.  You been partying it 
                         up?

                                     DIRK
                         Um...no....yeah...there was a party.  
                         Last night.  That house over there. 
                         ...I guess...I remember I was with 
                         someone?                 

                                     FLOYD
                         I dunno.  I live right down the beach 
                         here, you wanna come in, get cleaned 
                         up...some breakfast, something?

                                     DIRK
                         Um...no...it's alright....

               Dirk pats his pockets.

                         over.

                         I heard you had some trouble.

                         Right.

                         Do you have a cigarette?

                         If you don't mind my saying, Dirk: A 
                         cock like yours is a terrible thing 
                         to waste.  The industry could use a 
                         little Dirk Diggler injection.  Maybe 
                         you'd be up for coming back --

                         What do you mean?

                                     ROLLERGIRL
                         Just go for it...who cares if you've 
                         got a small dick.  It's how you use 
                         it, right?  You can get a boner, I 
                         bet.  I know you can.

                         I guess.

                                     ROLLERGIRL
                         Be a man about it.

                                     MAURICE
                         Right.  Right.  I have to be a man 
                         about it.  I have to do this...I 
                         have to show my brothers in Puerto 
                         Rico the lifestyle that I'm living.  
                         I can do it...I can do it.

                                     ROLLERGIRL
                         You'll do fine.

                                     MAURICE
                         Right.

                                     ROLLERGIRL
                         C'mon. 

                                     MAURICE
                         No...no...I wanna stay here for a 
                         bit --

                         Okay....I'll be out there.
