:17:00
That qualifies him to ruin Iceman?
I can act circles around him.
:17:03
-I played that part in Minneapolis.
-lf he wants a name, that's his affair.
:17:08
People are in this business
to make money.
:17:11
-I'm in it to make money too.
-Really?
:17:14
The Harlem Theatre for the Blind?
The People's Workshop at Syracuse?
:17:17
Wait a minute.
I did nine plays up at Syracuse.
:17:20
I got great reviews from the critics.
Not that that's why I did it.
:17:24
God forbid you should lose
your standing as a cult failure.
:17:27
You think I'm a failure?
:17:28
I will not get sucked
into this conversation.
:17:31
I will not.
:17:32
I sent you my roommate's play to read.
It had a great part in it for me.
:17:36
Where do you come off sending me
a play for you to star in?
:17:39
I'm not your mother.
I don't find plays for you to star in.
:17:43
I field offers.
That's what I do.
:17:45
Who told you that?
The agent fairy?
:17:47
I could be terrific in that part.
:17:50
-Nobody's going to do that play.
-Why?
:17:52
It's a downer about a couple
that move back to Love Canal.
:17:55
But that actually happened.
:17:56
Nobody wants to watch people
living next to chemical waste!
:18:00
They can see that in Jersey.
:18:02
I don't want to argue about it.
I'll raise $8,000 and produce his play.
:18:06
Send me up for anything.
I don't care.
:18:08
I'll do dog commercials.
I'll do radio voice-overs.
:18:12
-I can't put you up for that.
-Why not?
:18:14
Because no one will hire you.
:18:16
I bust my ass to get a part right!
:18:19
And you bust everybody else's ass too!
:18:22
Who wants to argue about
whether Tolstoy can...
:18:24
...walk when he's dying
or walk when he's talking--?
:18:27
That was two years ago,
and that guy's an idiot!
:18:30
They can't all be idiots.
You argue with everybody!
:18:33
You've got one of the worst
reputations in this town.
:18:37
Nobody will hire you.
:18:40
Are you saying that nobody
in New York will work with me?
:18:43
Nobody in Hollywood will either.
I can't even get you a commercial.
:18:48
You played a tomato, and they went over
schedule because you wouldn't sit.
:18:52
Yes, it wasn't logical.
:18:53
You were a tomato! A tomato
doesn't have logic. It can't move!
:18:57
So if he can't move,
how's he going to sit down?
