Hello?
:34:22
Joe?
:34:44
DAVID: Hi, Lenny.
:34:46
MARKS: David!
What the hell are you doing here?
:34:50
DAVID: Joe called me.
:34:52
I've been to some dramatic meetings,
but 3:00 a.m. is a new one on me.
:34:56
Directors. Jesus, you're
worse than first wives.
:35:00
JOE: Where's the coffee?
:35:04
DAVID: Where you going?
:35:05
JOE: London.
Nelly's meeting me at the airport.
:35:08
I know I hired a genius, but you're crazy.
:35:11
He's the genius. I steal.
:35:13
What's up?
:35:15
I've been dodging a subpoena
for two days now.
:35:18
I'll dodge it permanently in London.
:35:21
It's all I can do.
:35:23
So I'm abandoning my creation.
:35:26
David will complete it.
:35:28
JOE: If he promises not to mess up.
MARKS: You'll walk out of the picture?
:35:32
I gave him final cut.
:35:34
You're not cutting the picture?
You can't do this.
:35:38
It violates your contract.
:35:40
MARKS: Forget the contract! It's wrong.
:35:43
It's not. If he gets a subpoena,
the studio fires him...
:35:46
...so he can't edit it anyway.
:35:48
Do you mind? Take the Fifth.
:35:51
You don't have to incriminate yourself!
:35:54
My lawyer said if I do that,
I can wind up in jail for contempt.
:35:57
MIKE: What do you have to hide?
JOE: I'm a Communist.
