:48:04
What did you say?
:48:05
I'll buy Night Wind.
How much do you want?
:48:07
Don't listen to him, David. He's crazy.
:48:09
Yeah, but he's got the first nickel
he ever made.
:48:13
- Are you serious?
- Name your price.
:48:18
- What do you think?
- I don't know.
:48:20
I'm telling you, he's nuts.
He's not responsible for what he's saying.
:48:23
Then we have to make sure
we cash the check before they lock him up.
:48:28
We've got $30 million, plus prints,
advertising and interest.
:48:33
- I can raise $20 million.
- Forget it.
:48:36
You can tear up my contract.
:48:38
Three pictures, pay or play,
plus a gross percentage.
:48:43
$20 million...
:48:45
...your contact and your Capitol stock.
:48:48
No, I'll only buy if I can reshoot.
My stock will just about cover that.
:48:52
Goodnight, Felix.
And don't forget to turn off the lights.
:49:06
$18 million, contract...
:49:08
...and stock.
:49:09
$16 million.
:49:13
Get the lawyers.
:49:38
A major studio executive
told me this morning...
:49:41
... that Felix Farmer paid Capitol Studios...
:49:44
... $35 million for all rights to Night Wind...
:49:47
... starring his wife Sally.
:49:48
"Smiles, " to her close friends,
isn't smiling this morning...
:49:52
... probably because under
the California community property law...
:49:55
... half of that $35 million is hers.
:49:58
If Felix doesn't make Night Wind
a box office hit...
