We hear distant gunshots,
which get louder and louder...
1:33:04
bringing the Lieutenant's twisted
military past and violent tendencies...
1:33:09
into bold bas-relief.
1:33:11
Writer-director David Shayne
is the find of the decade.
1:33:16
- Where is David?
- I don't know. I assumed he'd be here.
1:33:35
Flender!
1:33:37
Flender, wake up.
It's David Shayne.
1:33:40
I need
to talk to you.
1:33:42
Please, Flender.
Flender!
1:33:46
Ha-ha! Look who's here.
The big Broadway success.
1:33:49
I don't write hits.
My plays are art.
1:33:51
- They're written specifically
to go unproduced.
- Is Ellen there?
1:33:54
- No, she's not here.
- I think she is.
1:33:56
Congratulations
on your hit, David.
1:33:59
- I always knew ya had it in you.
- Yeah, well, you were wrong.
1:34:02
- I have to--
I have to ask you a question.
- What?
1:34:05
Did you love me as the artist
or as the man?
1:34:08
- Both.
- Well, what if it turned out
that I wasn't really an artist?
1:34:12
I could love a man if
he's not a real artist...
1:34:15
but I couldn't love an artist
if he's not a real man.
1:34:18
Th-This is all academic.
She's with me now. You're with me now.
1:34:21
- Do you really want to be with Flender?
- Yes.
1:34:24
- Hey! Flender is a great lover.
- Ohh.
1:34:27
- Hey, I slept with Flender.
He was just okay.
- [ Ellen ] Really?
1:34:31
[ Flender ] Rita, please!
What are you talking about?
1:34:34
That was years ago, during
your free-love period.
1:34:36
[ Ellen ] I feel it's relational.
For me, he's great.
1:34:39
Huh, interesting. Are you talking
pure mechanics or what?
1:34:42
- His technique is prodigious.
- [ Flender ] Prodigious?
1:34:45
- You're confusing sex and love.
- No, for me, love is very deep.
1:34:49
Sex only has to go
a few inches.
1:34:51
Y-You're all missing the point.
The point is, I can give
pleasure many times a day.
1:34:56
Oh, now really, Flender.
What has quantity got to do with it?
1:34:59
- Quantity affects quality.
- [ David ] Says who?
