:16:02
I run this place and nobody tells me
how to make movies.
:16:06
But I have to listen when they say
my movies won't get played...
:16:10
...because some politician has
a hard-on for Hollywood.
:16:13
Business is lousy. The theaters are empty.
:16:16
Everybody's staying home
to watch Milton Berle dressed as a woman.
:16:20
And now this.
:16:25
What do you mean ''now this''?
:16:29
ZANUCK: If you want to make this picture,
you have to get yourself straightened out.
:16:40
ZANUCK: Call Felix Graff
and do just as he says.
:16:43
Graff knows what he's doing
with those bastards.
:16:46
Then we'll discuss the picture.
:16:51
I'm sorry, Darryl, I don't get this.
:16:54
Just go see this guy, do me a favor.
:16:56
Then we'll have lunch and
talk about casting and everything else.
:17:00
How are things in real life?
:17:03
In real life?
A little startling and a little ambiguous.
:17:06
Maybe that's better than happy or sad.
:17:10
Eighteen takes? Get me Howard.
:17:15
NAN: Howard Hawks, please.
:17:18
Did you get me back to Los Angeles
just to talk to this guy Graff?.
:17:23
I can't tell the difference
between any of these.
:17:28
Why don't you show me, all right?
:17:32
ZANUCK: We'll run them
and you show me the difference.
:17:35
I'm sure it's obvious.
:17:40
Mr. Woods? Telephone. Jack Warner calling.
:17:45
GENE: The man's undaunted.
Stop with the hair in my drink already...
:17:48
...or I'll move my office to Chasen's.
:17:50
-Stay with the Brown Derby.
-It's a barber shop, not a restaurant.
:17:53
Jack. I know you loved the script.
Well, do your own reading next time.
:17:57
Everybody wants it. Now it's hot.
