:25:01
They wouldn't have taken it
with any understanding or restraint.
:25:06
If you're so scared,
why take it to Vegas to begin with?
:25:10
I needed half a million to buy a script.
A blockbuster, but quality.
:25:15
No mutants or maniacs.
This is gonna be my Driving Miss Daisy.
:25:21
Murray Saffrin who wrote my Grotesque
pictures showed it to me one day,
:25:27
said he's got a star interested,
would I produce?
:25:31
Which star?
:25:32
Two-time Academy Award nominee,
Martin Weir.
:25:37
That's Martin Weir!
He played the mob guy in Cyclone.
:25:41
One of his best parts.
:25:42
No, his best part was the crippled
gay guy who climbed Mt Whitney.
:25:46
Ride The Clouds.
:25:48
The woman, she looks familiar.
:25:50
She's a rock star.
Every day they have breakfast.
:25:53
He faces west, so he sees his billboard.
She faces east so she can wear shades.
:25:59
Anyway, Murray's shrink
is Martin's personal trainer's shrink.
:26:04
Murray's shrink gives the script
to Martin's trainer, who reads it to Martin.
:26:10
Martin loves it.
:26:11
So what's the problem?
:26:13
Problem is Murray. Heart attack.
:26:15
Doris, Murray's widow,
hears about the Martin Weir thing,
:26:19
and because we didn't have a contract,
she wants half a million for the script.
:26:23
Ah, so you want my dry-cleaner
to invest in your movie.
:26:28
That, or what if some accident
was to befall the widow Saffrin?
:26:33
No, I'm not gonna pop her, OK?
:26:35
It was just a thought.
:26:37
I'll meet these limo guys, tell 'em to leave
you alone in a way they'll understand.
:26:43
You don't know these guys.
:26:44
Believe me, I know 'em
a whole lot better than you do.
