Vanilla Sky Script
The Abridged Script
Dec 14, 2001 The Twin Towers are featured prominently in Vanilla Sky. Here’s a Crowe quote about why they stayed in the film after the 911 attacks: “The idea of wiping them away by the computer – I couldn’t do it”, “They’ve already been taken away once; they’ll stay in the movie. Hopefully, the audience will understand it’s a tribute.”. The Vanilla Sky transcript is here for all you fans of Cameron Crowe movies. The entire dialogue script, all the quotes, the whole shebang. I know, I know, I still need to get the character names in there.I'm workin' on it, trust me. Vanilla Sky (2001) Script. Home; Movies; Vanilla Sky; Woman 1: Open your eyes. Woman 2: Open your eyes.

FADE IN:
INT. TOM CRUISE'S FANCY FUCKING APARTMENT.
TOM CRUISE gets up and walks through his ridiculously expensive apartment. We instantly HATE him.
CAMERON DIAZ
(in Tom's bed)
Wow, Tom, I really enjoyed all of that wild monkey sex we had last night. There's nothing I, Cameron Diaz, like more than drinking your cum and riding your cock into the sunset.
We all despise him further, wishing for something AWFUL to happen to him.
TOM CRUISE
I like it when you ride me too, but I don't appreciate you much at all, nor do I have any respect for you or our delicate situation. In fact, I'm constantly womanizing and referring to you as a stalker, even though, if you were any sort of stalker, I'd be largely at fault due to my continually fucking you.
We suddenly desire nothing more in the world for TOM CRUISE to be cloned, then have the original TOM CRUISE sliced into a thousand pieces and force-fed to the TOM CRUISE clone on a plate of TOM CRUISE and C4, which is then detonated when he is finished. Instead, however, TOM CRUISE goes to work.
TOM CRUISE
I own 51% of my father's company. Everyone hates me because I'm disgustingly rich and treat the entire company and the lives of my employees like toys.
JASON LEE
You have everything, Tom, and I have nothing. I say I'm your friend, but you treat me like shit. For example, meet Penelope Cruz, whom I seem to have some kind of crush on. Then steal her from me with your grown up appearance.
PENELOPE CRUZ
I'm playing the same part I played in the spanish thriller 'Open Your Eyes', of which this film is a terribly manipulative remake. Also, I am so sickeningly perky and empty-headed that it kind of makes you want to die, doesn't it?
TOM CRUISE
I'm instantly in love with you. Truly, only you can Open My Eyes.
PENELOPE CRUZ
Open Your Eyes.
TOM CRUISE
Open My Eyes.
AUDIENCE
(falling asleep)
I'm having trouble with that, myself...
TOM CRUISE and PENELOPE CRUZ really hit it off, as evidenced by virtually NOTHING.
TOM CRUISE
I'm madly in love with you, Penelope, but not as in love as I am with myself. Actually, that's why I like you, your last name has me partly convinced you're me.
PENELOPE CRUZ
I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, I was busy writing my own name and drawing big stars all around it.
TOM CRUISE leaves to get in his EXPENSIVE CAR.
CAMERON DIAZ
Well, well, well. Tom Cruise. I thought I might find you here, in this self-important movie, since those are the only kinds of movies you do. I followed you and sat outside all night, waiting for you to come back out. Now get in my car, against all decent judgement.
TOM CRUISE
That would probably be the second stupidest thing I could possibly ever do.
CAMERON DIAZ
What's the stupidest?
TOM CRUISE
Are you familiar with the work of L. Ron Hubbard? Let me explain..
He gets in the car.
CAMERON DIAZ
So, uh, I'm pretty pissed about this whole you having sex with other people thing. I kind of love you. I mean, I come over all the time and we have sex.
(awkwardly)
I swallow your cum.
TOM CRUISE
You're a crazy bitch!
AUDIENCE
What? She's being pretty reasonable. What the hell did you expect, Tom?
DIRECTOR CAMERON CROWE
Wait, no, that's not how you're supposed to feel.
CAMERON DIAZ
When you make love to someone, your body makes a promise whether you do or not.
AUDIENCE
What the fuck? What kind of psycho talks like that? She's crazy!
CAMERON DIAZ
Actually, everyone in this movie seems to randomly spout lines that belong in bad poems.
AUDIENCE
Booo! We don't like you as much as we like Penelope Cruz, because she is an unsettlingly chipper munchkin incapable of basic thought.
Annoyed, CAMERON DIAZ drives her car off a BRIDGE and DIES.
TOM CRUISE
Someone who I've always considered a friend is dead. More tragic, however, my face is disfigured.
AUDIENCE
YES! That's what you fucking get, you typecast egomaniac!
TOM CRUISE
Feel awful for me, my life is destroyed, and just when I finally found a woman who I can care about a little more than I care about the countless other women I fuck! I'll just pay for reconstructive surgery with my endless supply of money. Do you feel bad yet?
AUDIENCE
No.
DIRECTOR CAMERON CROWE
Then perhaps you will feel confused instead!
Suddenly, TOM CRUISE is in jail for MURDER. He is telling a story to KURT RUSSEL via flashbacks. This story is about how he survived his wreck and continued seeing PENELOPE CRUZ for a while, until she turned into CAMERON DIAZ, at which point he KILLED HER. Nothing at all makes any sense, and this continues for a long, long time. Eventually TOM CRUISE finds his confused, disfigured self in an elevator with a CREEPY LOOKING GUY.
TOM CRUISE
I'm so confused! My face keeps switching between being better and being disfigured. All of these confusing elements must be leading toward some extremely clever explanation that ties all of them together!
CREEPY LOOKING GUY
Actually, if you'll allow me to spend thirty minutes spouting tremendous amounts of boring dialogue, you'll understand.. You see, you're dreaming. After an arbitrary point in the film, you came to me and made me freeze you and give you a Lucid Dream, which you fucked up and made absurdly confusing.
TOM CRUISE
So all of the potentially interesting twists and weird events culminate in the explanation that they didn't happen in the first place.
CREEPY LOOKING GUY
Neat, huh?
TOM CRUISE
That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.
CREEPY LOOKING GUY
Wait till you get a load of your lines in a few minutes. What's really fantastic is all of this confusion exists solely to give you the satisfaction of no longer being confused once I'm done speaking. This movie makes no real point or statement, nor does it even drive toward some kind of purpose - the point is to confuse you and then explain that it doesn't have to make sense, since it's all fake anyway. We're basically bashing everyone's head into a brick wall and expecting them to thank us when we finally stop.
AUDIENCE
I feel like I just spent a week putting together a five thousand piece jigsaw puzzle to find that it's that damn picture from www.goatse.cx.
CREEPY LOOKING GUY
Now, Tom, you must make an important decision. Will you decide to continue living in what has been painted as an awful, hellish, confusing nightmare or will you wake up and cope with a reality for which you are entirely unequipped?
TOM CRUISE
Oh shit, I can't make decisions. I mean, I left Nicole Kidman.
(looking at bracelet)
What Would L. Ron Hubbard Do?
L. RON HUBBARD'S CORPSE
Ummm, I'd give L. Ron Hubbard's estate some more money.
TOM CRUISE
Thy will be done.
END
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
David, open your--
Well, I suppose
the emptystreetmeant loneliness.
You're a shrink.
You gotta do better than that.
I'm a doctor.
Let's not stereotype each other.
Not all rich kids
are soulless and...
not all psychologists
care about dreams.
The question is how you got here
and why you've been charged.
What do you want to know?
I was about to turn 33.
I ran three magazines
and a worldwidepublishing house.
Most days I fooledmyself into
believing it would last forever.
Isn't that what being young
is about?
Believing secretly
that you would be...
the one person
in the history of man...
who would live forever.
Where you going so early?
Don't record any more messages
on my alarm clock, okay?
- Why not?
- I'll start to think we're married.
Don't ever say that word.
I will never come over...
and bring you chicken soup
and f*** your brains out again.
How's your cold?
Still there.
How 'bout yours?
You definitely took
my mind off it.
Really?
Yes?
'Juliana' here.
Hi, Rayna. I missed my audition.
I lost my head!
No, listen, I have to go.
I'm with David.
Help yourself to whatever. Maria will
clean up. Set the alarmbefore you go.
And...
you are the greatest.
Bye, honey.
Bye, honey.
I'll call you later.
When?
- When?
- Soon!
Did you reserve the court?
Easy. I can't handle heavy
conversation at this ungodly hour.
Sorry to do this early,
but I gotta be done by 10:00.
You're not gonna make
the 8:
45, are you?
- How did you find me?
- David Aames...
you have to check the colors
for the new issue of Rise.
-What are the colors?
-Yellow and red or traditional white.
- Gottathinkabout it.
- David, please.
Don't be late for the 10:00
with the board.
Don't tell anybodywhere I am.
I don't care if God calls.
- I'm very, very busy.
- Yeah.
- Can't you get rid of that board?
- The Seven Dwarfs?. No.
Those peopledrive you nuts.
And that was the desire
of my father who hired them.
You f***ed JulieGianni again,
didn't you?
I know someone was there
when I called.
You had that tone.
'No, I got a cold.
I'm hanging in tonight, you know.'
I had a cold.
- I was alone.
- Fine.
Vanilla Sky Script
-You do what you want with your life.
-Thanks.
But one day you'll know
what love truly is.
It's the sour and the sweet.
I know sour, whichallows me
to appreciate the sweet.
Julie Gianni is a friend.
Sometimes we sleep together.
What? What?
- What?
- My dream girl...
Julie Gianni...
is your f*** buddy.
- What do you wannalisten to?
- Slow down, man.
What do we got here?
Barcelona, Looper.
Radiohead?
Look out! Look out!
F***!
We almost died.
- I know.
- Use your f***in' head!
My own death was in front of me,
and you know what happened?
Your life flashed
Vanilla Sky
before my eyes.
- How was it?
- Almostworthdying for.
We're at the front door.
We're coming up now.
- Good morning, sir. Sleep well?
- Yes, I did.
- Eaten yet?
- What's that?.
Good morning.
David, you were playing racquetball.
I've been covering you for an hour.
I'm saving your ass
and you're playing racquetball.

We are now exiting the elevator.
