I didn't know where I was going.
I just had to get out of there.
:44:53
I had to be with people my own age.
I had to hear somebody laugh again.
:45:00
I thought of Artie Green.
:45:02
There had to be a New Year's
shindig in his apartment.

Writers without a job,
composers without a publisher,
:45:10
actresses so young they still

A bunch of kids who didn't give a hoot,
so long as they had a yuck to share.
:45:21
Hollywood for us ain't been so good
Got no swimming pool
:45:25
Very few clothes
All we earn are buttons and bows

- Hello, Joe.
- Tom.
:45:35
- How are you?
- Hi, Joe.
:45:40
- Whaddya know, Joe Gillis!
- Hi, Artie.
:45:42
Where you been keeping that gorgeous
face? I almost reported you missing.
:45:48
You all know Joe Gillis, the famous
screenwriter, uranium smuggler,
:45:51
and Black Dahlia suspect.
:45:55
- Give me your coat.
- Let it ride.
:45:57
- You are going to stay?
- Yes.
