Hi.
I'd prefer it if you didn't speak to me.
I...
...you know, there's nothing you could say, that could <u>possibly</u> make a difference, so, why don't you just save your breath.
What's in the case?
Eight hundred thousand dollars in cash.
And what was it you wanted to say?
Gut Yuntif.
...little woman has gone crazy about our dinner party...City Council...? What's the trouble...?
Main Street.
Doug, the traffic light...
<u>Fuck</u> the traffic light. I'm talking about three percent of the adjusted gross of a Major Motion Picture...
I have to talk to you.
Doug, this is Mr...
...he's the producer of the movie.
I want you to hear this, pal... Forget the overages, <u>forget</u> Ten Thousand Dollars for three days to two weeks. You know what it would cost for them to <u>build</u> this set? Two Million Dollars! Now:
Doug...
Now: the Waterford Merchant's Association, of who I am Council...
Where you off to?
I, uh...I'm leaving.
Why?
I perjured myself. I told a lie, and I ruined my life. That's what I did... I don't suppose you could help me with <u>that</u>, could you? Turn back the <u>clock</u>, or something? Give me back my, give me back my <u>purity</u>, I don't suppose you could just wave your magic wand and do that, could you...? But what <u>is</u> truth? Eh? In't that the thing? What <u>is</u> true?
It's the truth that you should never trust anybody, wears a bowtie. Cravat's sposed to point down to accentuate the <u>genitals</u>, why'd you wanna trust somebody, s'tie points out to accentuate his <u>ears</u>...?
Aren't you supposed to set an example for people...?
Nope. I'm just supposed to hold people's hands, while they die. What'd you say your problem was...
...I just swore my life away, back in that...
Mornin, Chessy...how's the back...?
Kiss my ass.
Well.
What?
Who got their heads cut?
Uh. Bob Barrenger, fella, <u>Cameraman</u>...
You said <u>three</u>...?
<u>Did</u> I? I think you're mistaken.
You show Claire these sketches?
Yes.
Did she throw up?
That isn't very nice.
Oh, really, then why don't you sue me in the World Court. Did she like the costumes?
I can't tell.
Why not?
She won't stop crying...
Find out when Marty Rossen's arriving, get him a bunch of lilacs to send to the broad.
She doesn't want to Bare Her Breasts.
She Doesn't Want to Bare Her Breasts...what, in the "Nude Scene...?" What are we paying her three mil?
she's got 'religion.'
Her religion bars her from fulfilling her contr...
"Bring it in on time and there's more where these came from. Marty. P.S. I want to talk to you about a product tie in..."
I'll put the, in your r...
Somebody make a note. I want Li..., for the broad...what does she like? Lilacs. Okay. A truck of lilacs when the broad comes. And get something for Bob Barrenger, get him, what does he like...?
Bob Barrenger...Bob...Bob Barrenger's in this movie?
That's cor...
He's staying here? Bob Barrenger is staying he...?
Put something in his room. What does he like?
Claire, when did you...
I just...
Claire, Bob Bar...
We're just talking about the...
Don't let me dis...I'll just...
No, no...Please.
This is Joe White.
How can I thank you? How can I repay you for this part? It's a...what a, thank you for this part. The first scene at the Old Mill...
What, what's there to <u>think</u> about? The scene's perfect...I, I get to say...
Yes, but, Joe, <u>Joe's</u> been, well, he's just been having a few, uh, "Thoughts," about...
How many times in your <u>life</u> do you get a speech like that?
Yeah.
This scene is why I'm doing the movie. "Look at the mill, Frank look at the way it goes around...<u>half</u> of the time the darned wheel's under water, but..."
Yes, yes, but...
"...but still it rises up...It rises up, Frank, high as it can go."
Yeah. Joe? Would you, uh, tell Claire the, uh, the "thoughts" you've been...
What...?
I can't do it, Walt.
You can't do what?
It isn't <u>right</u>. I can't...I...I know I si...I, they, I don't know if they told me it was in the con...
<u>Forget</u> the contract. Claire. What is it?
I don't want to take my shirt off in that con...What are these things that they're asking of me...? Wha...wha...wha... I try to be good; the only thing I care about is...
I know that...
Is...Is the Movie!
I know that, Claire. I, we <u>all</u> know...
Everybody, they, they, they treat me like a...
...<u>no</u>, they don't...
...they treat me like a <u>child</u>. I, I...to bare my <u>body</u>.
Now, look. Claire: Listen to me. I want to tell you a story.
Fuck flowers, we aren't talking about flowers, we're talking about a human being.
I...I...
Who are these from?
...I can't do it, Wally...
Listen to me: Elanora <u>Duse</u> was playing Hamlet in London in 1905, and Royalty could not get a ticket. She said, "I'm not doing the seven shows a week I signed for." She said, "I cannot bare my soul seven times a week. I am an artist. I'll do four shows a week." The greatest actress of her time. You know what her Producer said?
What?
Nothing. He held her and he wept. Because he...
...I...
Because he understood. That was her life's blood on the stage.
...I know...I know...
...and, and, and did she...? And she did the seven shows...
No, she didn't Claire. But I think you should do the scene.
Wally...
I know, I know.
I know, it's the hardest thing in the world, and it seems everybody wants...
...yes...
...wants a piece...
