1:08:01
Um, start in L.A. on Tuesday.
1:08:05
Would you like me to
take you through your lines ?
1:08:08
Would you ?
'Cause it's all talk, talk, talk.
1:08:11
Hand it over.
1:08:14
Right.
Um, basic plot ?
1:08:18
l'm a difficult but brilliant
junior officer...
1:08:21
who in about 20 minutes is gonna
save the world from nuclear disaster.
1:08:26
Mm-hmm. Okay.
Well done, you.
1:08:28
""Message from Command. Would you
like them to send in the H.K.'s ?""
1:08:30
No. Turn over four T.R.S.'s
and tell them we need radar feedback...
1:08:33
before the K.F.T.'s return at 1900.
1:08:35
Then inform the Pentagon we'll need
Black Star cover from 1000 through 1215.
1:08:39
And if you say one word about how many
mistakes l made in that speech,
l'll pelt you with olives.
1:08:43
- Very well, Captain.
l'll pass that on straightaway.
- Thank you.
1:08:45
- How many mistakes did l make ?
- Eleven.
1:08:47
- Damn it. And Wainwright--
- Cartwright.
1:08:51
Cartwright, Wainwright,
whatever your name is,
1:08:53
l promised little Jimmy
l'd be home for his birthday,
1:08:55
so could you get a message to him
that l may be late.
1:08:58
Certainly.
And, uh, little Johnny ?
1:09:00
- My son's name is Johnny ?
- Yep.
1:09:02
- Then get a message to him too.
- l'll do what l can, Captain,
1:09:05
but l can't promise anything.
1:09:07
And Cartwright goes.
1:09:11
- What do you think ?
- Gripping. lt's not Jane Austen.
1:09:15
lt's not Henry James,
but it's... gripping.
1:09:18
- Think l should do Henry James instead?
- You would be brilliant.
1:09:22
But this writer-- writers--
they're pretty damn good too.
1:09:27
You never get anyone
on Wings of the Dove saying,
1:09:30
""lnform the Pentagon
we need Black Star cover.""
1:09:33
For me the book is the poorer for it.
1:09:40
l can't believe you have that picture.
1:09:43
You like Chagall ?
1:09:46
l do. lt feels like
how love should be--
1:09:50
floating through a dark blue sky.
1:09:53
With a goat, playing a violin.
1:09:56
Well, yes.
1:09:58
Happiness isn't happiness
without a violin-playing goat.
