:07:01
...waiting for you guys
to grow some guts, all right?
:07:05
Jesus.
:07:08
Yeah, hello.
:07:10
Hi, Lee.
:07:11
Elliot, it's Sunday. Can you tell me
why I'm talking to you on Sunday?
:07:14
Don't I see enough of you all week?
:07:17
I'm with that party that you wanted me
to get together with, Lee.
:07:21
You know who I'm talking about?
:07:22
I don't believe this.
Why are you talking to me...
:07:25
...on my phone about that?
:07:27
Well, because I'm standing with the guy,
and he insists on talking to you.
:07:32
What, are you out of your fucking mind?
:07:36
He said that if I didn't get you
on the phone, that he would leave....
:07:40
Hello, Lee, it's Clarence. At last, we speak.
:07:43
First, I want to tell you
I'm a big fan of yours.
:07:45
That's why I want to open
Dr. Zhivago in LA.
:07:48
And I need you and your abilities
to distribute it.
:07:53
I don't know.
:07:54
Dr. Zhivago is a pretty big movie.
:07:56
The biggest movie you've dealt with.
We're talking a lot of film here.
:07:59
A man would be an idiot not to be
a little cautious about a movie like that.
:08:03
And, Lee, you're no idiot.
:08:06
I'm not saying I'm not interested.
:08:08
It's just, being a distributor
is not what I do.
:08:10
I'm a movie producer, you know?
:08:12
I'm here to make good movies,
nothing more...
:08:14
...and nothing, well,
maybe less, sometimes.
:08:16
Hey!
:08:18
Choose a fucking lane!
:08:21
Not you, just an idiot--
Don't give me the finger!
:08:23
I'll fucking have you killed!
:08:26
So, bottom line is l'm not Paramount.
:08:28
You know what l'm saying?
:08:29
I got a select few distributors.
:08:31
I buy their little movies and I accomplish
what I want and I get out of there.
:08:35
Very business-like, very easy,
and very little risk.
:08:38
We're talking Dr. Zhivago.
It'll be packing them in. For a year...
:08:42
...two years you won't have to deal
with anybody else's movie but mine.
:08:45
Nobody's but yours.
Well, what's the rush here?
:08:49
I want to be able to announce
the deal at Cannes.
:08:51
If I had time for a courtship, I would.
:08:53
I'd take you out, hold your hand,
kiss your cheek.
:08:56
But I'm not in that position.
:08:57
I need to know right now if you
and I are in bed together or not.
