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.
:18:01
A great piece of ass just walked by.
:18:04
David Merrill's here. I'll call you back.
:18:07
GENE: Got something for you.
I was talking to Jack about you.
:18:11
-Jack who?
-Jack the Ripper. Who?
:18:13
You got to read this.
Take your time. Two seconds.
:18:17
Everyone wants to do it.
We'll walk down the aisle.
:18:20
-We getting married?
-To pick up an Oscar.
:18:24
An Oscar. Read it. I'll send it over tonight.
:18:26
It doesn't matter.
:18:28
BERT: You can't get paid
if he doesn't work, right?
:18:31
BERT: I'll call you later.
:18:34
BERT: Who is that guy?
DAVID: You don't know Gene Woods?
:18:37
The producer.
:18:38
He pays the waiter to bring phony calls
to him from Warner and Zanuck.
:18:42
I wondered who the schmuck was
with all the calls.
:18:46
BERT: How did it go with Zanuck?
:18:48
Strange. He wanted me
to meet this lawyer, Graff.
:18:53
DAVID: Do I have some kind of problem?
:18:57
Geez, I don't know.
