The F*cked Up Club // Robert Downey Jr

128 // PRIVATE CONVERSATION

Conversation between
Regan Mackenzie
and
Robert Downey Jr

REGAN
Hi Robert

ROBERT
Hey

REGAN
Before you shoot me down
Can I talk to you for a minute?

ROBERT
Go ahead

REGAN
I assume you're up to date with the whole situation?

ROBERT
Pretty much

REGAN
Look I've been trying to reach out to Lana
It's been months
We've never gone this long without talking
But she shoots me down every time I try to apologise

ROBERT
Well you kinda brought that on yourself

REGAN
I'm going crazy Robert
I feel terrible about what I did
I wasn't thinking
And it breaks my heart to think I might've ruined my relationship with my sister

ROBERT
What do you want me to do about it?

REGAN
I want you to talk to her
Tell her how sorry I am
Try to make her see it from my perspective
I know I hurt her badly but I didn't mean to
I never thought things would escalate so much
I was stupid and reckless and I know better now

ROBERT
You know Lana better than me
If she's dead set on not speaking to you, nothing I say will make a difference

REGAN
Aren't you guys together now?

ROBERT
How do you know that?

REGAN
Oh please, I saw the tabloids 😑 you think I didn't recognise you in those pictures?
I'm very happy for you guys btw
She deserves to be with someone who cares about her like you do

ROBERT
Thank you Regan
But either way, it doesn't change my point

REGAN
Look, I know my sister
There's only a handful of people she takes advice from
One of them is Marjani
But ofc Marjani won't talk to me either
So right now, you're the only one who can really vouch for me
Please Robert, I'm dragging every shred of pride left in me right now and I'm literally begging you
Can you please try to get her to forgive me?

ROBERT
I can't just make her do that Regan

REGAN
Then at least hint at it?
I'll take what I can get
Please, I just don't want to lose my sister

ROBERT
Alright fine
I'll see what I can do

REGAN
Thank you so much!!
