Let's rethink
that ambassadorship.

1:29:03
l'm talking London.
l'm talking Paris.

1:29:05
A secret account
for your extra expenses...

1:29:08
getting laid whenever you want.
1:29:09
Marine guards will salute you.
1:29:11
lt's tempting, but l got
to answer to a higher calling.

1:29:14
-Art.
-Money?

1:29:16
You think l did this for money?
1:29:18
l did this for credit.
1:29:20
You knew
you couldn't take the credit.

1:29:22
l'm not going to stand here...
1:29:23
and let two dickheads
from film school take it.

1:29:26
Listen to me.
1:29:28
Are you nuts?
1:29:29
Stanley, no fooling.
1:29:30
You're playing with your life.
1:29:32
Fuck my life.
1:29:33
l want the credit.
1:29:35
Know what the New York Times
said about my last picture?

1:29:38
They called it
"a thrill ride for the ages..."

1:29:40
but they didn't mention
the producer.

1:29:41
They talked
about the costumes...

1:29:44
but never talked
about the producer.

1:29:45
You know what
that picture grossed?

1:29:46
Now l'm going to stand here...
1:29:48
and let some limp-dick
film-school pansy...

1:29:50
take the credit?
1:29:51
You can't do it.
1:29:53
Don't you tell me that!
1:29:55
Don't you ever tell me that!
1:29:57
l am the producer!
1:29:59
lf l didn't step up,
you're nowhere!

1:30:01
l put this together
out of spit and polish!

1:30:04
Look at that.
1:30:05
That is a complete
fucking fraud...

1:30:08
and it looks 100% real.
1:30:17
lt's the best work
l've ever done in my life...

1:30:21
because it's so honest.
1:30:31
They told me l couldn't
remake Moby Dick...

1:30:33
from the point of view
of the whale.

1:30:34
$450 million domestic.
1:30:36
l'm not even talking
about the video.

1:30:38
l made this lame turkey fly.
1:30:40
l did it--pure Hollywood.
1:30:43
For once in my life,
l won't be pissed on.

1:30:47
Do you hear me?
1:30:49
l want the credit.
1:30:53
l'm taking it.
1:30:55
Shit.
