:14:00
You know that.
You read the papers.
:14:02
Lou treating you all right?
:14:04
What's the matter
with your face?
:14:06
What's the matter
with his face, Lou?
:14:09
It's not so bad.
:14:10
A mosquito in my room.
:14:12
Where'd we put him?
:14:13
I'm at the Earle.
:14:15
Never heard of it.
Let's move him.
:14:17
Stay at my place.
:14:19
I wanted a place a little less--
:14:20
Less Hollywood. Say it.
It's not a dirty word.
:14:23
Say whatever you want.
:14:25
The writer is king
at Capitol Pictures.
:14:28
Look at your paycheck.
:14:29
That's what
we think of writers.
:14:31
So, what kind of pictures
does he like?
:14:34
Mr.Fink hasn't given
a preference, Mr.Lipnick.
:14:37
So, how about it, Bart?
:14:39
Well, uh, to be honest,
:14:41
I don't go to the pictures much.
:14:44
That's okay.
:14:45
You probably
walked in here
:14:47
thinking that was going
to be a handicap,
:14:49
thinking we wanted people
who knew something about the medium,
:14:52
thinking there's technical
mumbo jumbo to learn.
:14:55
You were dead wrong.
:14:57
There's only one thing--
Can you tell a story?
:15:00
Can you make us laugh,
make us cry,
:15:02
make us want
to break out in song?
:15:05
That more than one thing?
:15:06
I run this dump, and I don't know
technical mumbo jumbo.
:15:09
Why do I run it?
:15:11
'Cause I got horse sense, showmanship!
:15:13
And also I'm bigger
and meaner and louder
:15:16
than any other kike
in this town.
:15:19
I don't mean my dick's
bigger than yours.
:15:21
It's not a sexual thing.
Coffee?
:15:26
Yes, thank you.
:15:28
Lou!
:15:36
Used to have shares
in the company,
:15:39
ownership interest,
:15:40
got bought out--
muscled out.
:15:43
We keep him around.
He's got a family.
:15:46
Poor schmuck.
He's sensitive.
:15:48
Don't mention the old days.
Hell, say whatever you want.
:15:50
Look, barring a preference,
:15:51
you'll be working on
a wrestling picture, Wallace Beery.
:15:54
They say you know
the poetry of the street.
:15:57
That rules out
westerns, pirates,
:15:59
screwball, Bible, Roman...
