: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...
:16:01
I'm not some guy
that thinks poetic is fruity.
:16:04
We're together on that.
:16:05
I'm from New York myself.
:16:07
Minsk, if you want
to go all the way back,
:16:10
which we won't
if you don't mind.
:16:13
People will say to you--
:16:15
Wallace Beery, wrestling--
it's a B picture.
:16:18
You tell them--bullshit!
:16:19
We don't make B pictures
here at Capitol.
:16:22
Let's put a stop
to that rumor right now.

:16:29
Thanks, Lou.
:16:30
Join us.
Join us.
:16:32
We're talking about
the Wally Beery picture.
:16:35
Excellent picture.
:16:37
Got a treatment on it yet?
:16:39
We just bought the story.
:16:41
Saturday Evening Post.
:16:42
The hell with the story.
:16:44
Wally Beery's a wrestler.
:16:45
Give me his hopes, his dreams.
:16:47
Naturally he gets mixed up
with a bad element
:16:50
and a romantic interest
or else an orphan.
:16:53
Lou, think Wally's too old
for a romantic interest?
