CALLETT You need to get into this. ROD There a dressing room I can use? CALLETT No. Rod, unfazed, kicks off his shoes and starts getting changed. ROD
Where’s my co-star? Rude not to at least give her a kiss beforehand. CALLETT (coldly) Outside. In the truck. ROD Her own trailer! Who’s doing her hair? Vidal Sassoon? He doesn’t answer. Rod talks to Noel instead. ROD (CONT’D) Full of joie de vivre innee? He turns back to Callett. ROD (CONT’D)
“Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.” Francis Bacon.

ROD (CONT’D) Bacon? No? Fuckin’ hell, tough crowd. Callett holds out the green ping-pong-ball facemask. CALLETT You also need to wear this. Rod examines it. ROD You’re sick, d’you know that? He pulls on the facemask, laughing.
