:39:01
- Mm-hmm.
- Dollars?
:39:03
Dollars, George!
:39:06
So, when he got to Family Plot,
to get over a $100,000 was amazing.
:39:11
And he didn't want to pay Al Pacino
whatever his price was then.
:39:15
And he'd just done Serpico
and The Godfather, so he was big stuff.
:39:18
And so, then they were going to go
to the next on the list.
:39:22
I certainly wasn't the next on the list.
I was about 15th on the list.
:39:27
But he jumped right away.
He jumped over everybody.
:39:29
And he called my agent,
and he said, you know,
:39:31
(Imitating Hitchcock) "I liked Bruce.
I think he would be good for the film."
:39:36
And so I went, and I saw him.
:39:38
I said, "Why would you
want me to play this part?"
:39:41
He said, "Bruce, I-I never
know what you're gonna do next."
:39:45
"I know that the frame is perfect."
:39:49
"I know the shot works perfectly."
:39:52
"All I want is to be entertained.
I make entertaining movies."
:39:58
My feet are killing me.
These damn six-inch heels.
:40:02
I happen to like tall women.
:40:04
Everybody likes tall women.
:40:07
In fact, everyone's going to be
looking for a tall woman.
:40:10
Aside from complaining a lot, what have
your been doing with yourself lately?
:40:15
Oh, nothing much.
Picking up a ransom. That sort of thing.
:40:20
(Woman) While I was in Vienna,
:40:22
I was shooting a movie
called Crime and Passion
:40:24
for Ivan Passer with Omar Sharif.
:40:27
And I was offered two pictures.
:40:31
One was the W C Fields
biographical film
:40:36
and Hitchcock's film.
:40:39
And, of course,
there was no... choice.
:40:42
You know, working with Hitchcock
was going to be the thrill of a lifetime.
:40:46
But I wanted the other part.
(Chuckling)
:40:49
I wanted the Barbara Harris part,
I wanted to be the kind of clairvoyant
:40:53
who really wasn't all so clairvoyant.
:40:55
I imagined her. I thought she could have
a Southern accent and a low blouse.
