:38:01
Sprinkling flea powder?
:38:03
All right, well, I'm here
with David Edwards.

:38:06
David...
Edwards, yes.

:38:08
You know,
the prize-winning playwright.

:38:10
He saw that picture
in a magazine.

:38:12
He's looking for a girl with
that certain je ne sais quoi
for his new play.

:38:16
That certain something
you managed to get
with the dog.

:38:19
It's not a big part, I know...
If this is one of
your jokes, Mr. Loomis...

:38:23
Jokes? So help me,
I'm only thinking
percentage-wise.

:38:26
The part calls for
about...
Two and a half.

:38:28
Two-fifty a week.
:38:31
I left the script with
my secretary. Can you
pick it up immediately?

:38:34
Uh, yes.
Yes, Mr. Loomis.

:38:37
Yes.
:38:39
He wants me
to pick up a script;
I'm to audition tomorrow.

:38:41
And you're going
down there?
Of course.

:38:43
Even after what
happened last time?
This has
nothing to do with Loomis.

:38:47
I'm to audition
for David Edwards.
How do you know that?

:38:50
I know. I just know.
:38:52
But do you know if he's
gonna be any different
than Loomis?
No, I don't.

:38:56
I don't want you to go.
Don't you realize what
this could mean to me?

:39:00
I'm not asking you
not to go down there,
I'm telling you.

:39:03
What makes you think
you have that right?
Because I love you.

:39:07
Isn't that enough?
No, Steve, I'm sorry.
Good night.

:39:11
Lora, wait.
:39:14
I didn't mean
to sound dictatorial or
to try to run your life,

:39:17
but you have to understand
how I feel.
And what about
the way I feel?

:39:21
Oh, stop acting.
I'm not acting.

:39:23
I want to achieve something,
something you'll never
understand.

:39:26
What you're after isn't real.
At least
I'm after something!

:39:29
Not the snapshot of
a disgusting old man with
a beer can on his belly.

:39:33
Is that your idea
of achieving something?
Is a beer can "real"?

:39:36
Going up and down,
up and down.

:39:38
Well, I'm going up and up
and up, and nobody's
going to pull me down!

:39:41
Lora, listen, please.
:39:43
I've been trying to do
something with my pictures.
It's meant everything to me.

:39:47
Every minute,
for a long time now.
No, it hasn't.

:39:50
Or you wouldn't
give it up to sell beer.

:39:53
I gave it up for
something much better,
something right now: You.

:39:57
But you're asking me
to give up something
I've wanted all my life,
