A few evenings later we were going to
the house of one of the waxworks...
:58:06
for some bridge.
:58:08
She'd taught me
how to play bridge by then...
:58:11
just as she'd taught me
some fancy tango steps...
:58:14
and what wine to drink
with what fish.
:58:19
That idiot. He forgot
to fill my cigarette case.
:58:23
Here, have one of mine.
:58:25
They're dreadful.
They make me cough.
:58:30
Pull up to the drugstore, Max.
I'll get you some.
:58:34
You're a darling.
:58:57
Give me a package
of those Turkish cigarettes--
:59:00
Abdullah.
:59:03
Stick'em up, Gillis.
:59:05
Stick'em up,
or I'll let you have it.
:59:09
Hi, Artie.
Evening, Miss Schaefer.
:59:11
- I'm so glad to see you.
- Walking out on the mob.
:59:14
- What's the big idea?
- I'm sorry about New Year's.
:59:16
Would you believe me if I told you
I stayed with a sick friend?
:59:19
Someone in the formal set, no doubt,
with a ten-carat kidney stone.
:59:22
Oh, stop it, Artie, will you?
:59:25
Where have you been keeping yourself?
I've got wonderful news for you.
:59:28
I haven't been keeping myself
at all. Not lately.
:59:31
I called your agent,
I called the Screenwriters Guild.
:59:34
Finally your old apartment
gave me some Crestview number.
:59:36
Somebody with an accent
growling at me.
:59:39
You weren't there. You weren't to be
spoken to. They never heard of you.
:59:43
Is that so?
:59:44
- What's the wonderful news?
- Sheldrake likes the teacher angle.
:59:48
- What teacher?
- Dark Windows.
:59:49
I got him all hopped up about it.
He thinks it could be made into something.
:59:52
Okay, where's the cash?
:59:54
Where's the story?
:59:56
I bluffed it out
with a few notions of my own.
:59:58
- It needs work.
- I was afraid of that.
