:12:01
I haven't had a drink
since New Year's Eve.
:12:03
- We're talkin' Chinese New Year's.
- Naturally.
:12:05
Still, that's two days, Sid.
You know how long that is for me?
:12:08
- What is it, Josette?
- [ Woman ] Some flowers.
:12:11
Well, bring them here,
will you?
:12:13
The offers are not pourin' in
like they used to.
:12:16
They're from David Shayne.
:12:19
"As a small artist to a greater one.
That you merely consider my play...
:12:22
is all the fulfillment
I require.
:12:26
Hmm.
:12:30
- What's he like?
- I hear he's terrific.
A genius ready to emerge.
:12:35
- I have to be billed over the title.
- Where else?
:12:38
- Approval of the leading man.
The star's dressing room.
- This is not even a question.
:12:43
Approval of
all photos of me.
:12:45
Oh, it's still not
a very glamorous role.
:12:48
But maybe I could meet with David.
Maybe we could go over the script.
:12:52
Maybe there's a few ways
we could find to brighten her up. Hmm?
:12:56
Why am I nervous?
:12:59
- That was sad. Clara Bow had it rough.
- She's a doll.
:13:03
- I'd do anything to be in a movie.
- You're pretty enough.
:13:07
Do you think you could
ever speak to Mr. Valenti?
:13:11
- Mr. Valenti knows everybody.
He'll do the right thing.
- That's right.
:13:13
I hear he's gonna make Olive Neal
a Broadway star. [ Screams ]
:13:17
[ Gunshots ]
:13:24
Go, go, go!
:13:27
Where'd it happen?
:13:29
Who'd they get?
Oh, Jesus!
:13:33
All right, I'm gonna be
at Olive's for about an hour.
:13:36
You get some more guys downstairs
and call me back on the Masucci thing.
:13:39
-This is for Leo Kustabeck, you hear me?
-[ Olive ] Hey!
:13:43
- You said this was the lead.
It's a smaller part.
- All right.
:13:47
- I got no time now.
- It's a smaller part.
I don't believe it.
:13:49
- They just got Vinny and Sal
outside a movie house.
- I counted the lines.
:13:52
- Sylvia Poston is the lead.
I'm just backing her up.
- You hear what I said?
:13:56
- I'm tired of backing people up.
I wanna be the lead.
- Julian says you're a doctor.
