:07:02
Those are dirty words.
You sound like New York critics.
:07:06
- That'll be all Miss Kramer... Schaefer.
- Goodbye, Mr Gillis.
:07:10
Next time, I'll write you
"The Naked and the Dead".
:07:13
Well, seems like Zanuck
has got himself a baseball picture.
:07:18
Don't think I thought
this would win an Academy Award.
:07:22
We're looking for a Betty Hutton.
Do you see it as a Betty Hutton?
:07:26
- Frankly, no.
- Wait a minute.
:07:29
If we made it a girls' softball team,
put in a few numbers,
:07:33
might be a musical: "It Happened in
the Bullpen: The Story of a Woman".
:07:38
Are you trying to be funny, because
I'm out of laughs. I need a job.
:07:43
- I haven't got a thing.
- Any assignment, additional dialogue.
:07:46
Nothing, honest.
:07:51
Mr Sheldrake, could you let me have
300 bucks as a personal loan?
:07:56
Could I? Gillis...
:08:01
Last year, somebody talked me
into buying a ranch,
:08:04
so I borrowed the money.
:08:06
This year, I had to mortgage the
ranch to keep up my life insurance...
:08:15
After that,
I drove down to headquarters.
:08:18
That's how a lot of us
think about Schwab's drugstore.
:08:21
Kind of a combination office,
Kaffeeklatsch and waiting room.
:08:25
Waiting... Waiting for the gravy train.
:08:30
I got myself ten nickels and started
sending out a general SOS.
:08:35
I couldn't get hold of my agent,
naturally.
:08:38
So I called a pal of mine,
Artie Green.
:08:41
An awful nice guy,
an assistant director.
:08:44
He could let me have twenty,
but twenty wouldn't do.
:08:49
Then I talked to a couple of yes-men
at Metro. To me, they said no.
:08:54
Finally, I located that agent of mine.
The big faker!
:08:59
Was he out digging up
a job for poor Joe Gillis?
