Baxter. The communist is screaming,
the priest in reel five is in reel two.

:27:07
How can he come off the screen?
It's never happened before.

:27:10
That doesn't mean
it can't happen for a first time.

:27:14
That's all you need. Hundreds of Tom
Baxters on the loose, running around.

:27:17
- Hundreds?
- As a lawyer, I advise you to get control.

:27:21
A character from a film on the loose?
:27:23
Who knows what he's capable of?
Robbery, murder... I see lawsuits.

:27:27
I'd charter a plane right away
and I'd get down there fast.

:27:31
Get me Gil Shepherd.
:27:38
Sorry I'm not too light on my feet.
:27:40
- Oh, no, you're a feather in my arms.

-Yeah.

:28:03
People get old, and sick,
and never find true love.

:28:09
Where I come from, people don't

:28:12
- They're always reliable.
- You don't find that kind in real life.

:28:17
You have.
:28:28
Is it true they're talking to you
about the life of Lindbergh?

:28:31
It's nearly set, but don't print it till it's firm.
:28:34
You were great
in The Purple Rose of Cairo.

:28:36
Thanks. I was... Did you know I was
singled out by all the East Coast critics?

:28:41
Mm-hm. The New York Times
said that I was...

:28:44
I had almost too smouldering
a quality to just play comedy.

:28:48
Would you play Lindbergh
the way you played Tom Baxter?

:28:51
Would I...? No, of course not.
