:56:06
Pull up at the drugstore.
I'll get you some.
:56:09
You're a darling.
:56:31
Give me a package of those
Turkish cigarettes... Abdullas.
:56:37
Stick 'em up, Gillis,
or I'll let you have it.
:56:42
Hi, Artie. Evening, Miss Schaefer.
:56:44
- I'm so glad to see you.
- You walked out on the mob?
:56:48
Sorry about New Year's. Would you
believe I stayed with a sick friend?
:56:52
Someone in the formal set,
with a ten-carat kidney stone?
:56:55
Stop it. Where've you been
keeping yourself?
:56:58
- I've got wonderful news for you.
- I haven't been keeping myself at all.
:57:04
I called your agent,
the Screenwriters' Guild.
:57:06
Your apartment gave me
a Crest View number.
:57:09
There was someone with an accent
growling: You weren't there,
:57:13
they never heard of you.
:57:15
Is that so?
What's the wonderful news?
:57:17
- Sheldrake likes the teacher angle.
- What teacher?
:57:20
"Dark Windows". He thinks
it could be made into something.
:57:24
- Where's the cash?
- Where's the story?
:57:27
I bluffed it out with a few notions.
:57:30
- But it needs work.
- I feared so.
:57:32
I've got 20 pages
and a good male character.
:57:35
Write plenty of background
so they'll need an extra director.
:57:38
Shut up.
If we could get a story...
:57:42
I've given up writing on spec.
:57:45
- But this is half sold.
- In fact, I've given up writing.
:57:49
- Mr Gillis, if you please?
- I'll be right there.
:57:54
The accent! This guy's in the pay
of a foreign government.
:57:58
- Check those studs and cufflinks.
- I must go.
