[ David ] Warner Purcell remains
good-spirited and a joy to work with.
:37:09
And what discipline. Although,
I notice he no longer has just
a cup of hot water and lemon.
:37:17
[ Eden ] lf you start it off
at that level--
:37:21
Well, what are we going to do
about that canine-loving ingenue?
:37:26
- Did you cast her because
you thought she was attractive?
- She's pretty...
:37:29
but more importantly, she has a certain
perkiness that the character requires.
:37:32
She's perky. She makes you
wanna sneak up behind her with
a pillow and suffocate her.
:37:36
- It's a beautiful apartment.
- Josette.
:37:39
- My beaker of martinis.
- Your taste is exquisite.
:37:42
My taste is superb.
My eyes are exquisite.
:37:46
What justifiable confidence.
:37:48
- I think at some point you're
going to have to fire Olive.
- I'm afraid that's not possible.
:37:52
Oh, how can you take her butchering
your poetry? I know I couldn't stand it.
:37:57
No one in his right mind is
going to believe she's a doctor,
not even a veterinarian.
:38:01
- [ Chuckles ]
- I understand, but it's a compromise
I have to live with...
:38:04
and if I want the play to open,
I have to find a way to live with it.
:38:07
I plan on reducing the scope of her role
if her bodyguard will let me.
:38:09
Can you believe
that character?
:38:11
Imagine, traveling with
your own private Neanderthal.
:38:14
- I wasn't aware that you opened
The Master Builder.
- Oh, well.
:38:17
I had forgotten that
you won that drama award.
:38:21
- Here's to your play.
- Oh, thank you. Our play.
:38:24
To an ideal world
with no compromise.
:38:32
Oh, my gosh,
look at this view!
:38:35
A million blinking lights.
A million broken hearts.
:38:40
- You know what's down there?
- What?
:38:42
- Broadway.
- Ah. That's your street.
:38:45
Mm-hmm. Yes, that's my street,
but I'd like to give it to you.
:38:51
- That is, if you want it.
- Who wouldn't want it?
:38:55
I want you to write a play for me.
Oh, I mean when all this is over.
:38:58
- Really?
- Your next play, I want you to create
a vehicle for Helen Sinclair.
