Kubrick's being playful in the same way
as when Alex visits the record store.
1:11:09
There in the record rack
is a copy of 200 1.
1:11:14
Which is a great joke, but also
we're also talking about a director. . .
1:11:18
. . .who has given up being
influenced by others.
1:11:21
A film director whose primary
influence has become himself.
1:11:26
For now it was lovely music
that came to my aid.
1:11:30
There was a window open
with a stereo on...
1:11:34
...and I viddied right at once
what to do.
1:12:00
I did two weeks of narration.
1:12:02
It was like the purest
kind of filmmaking.
1:12:05
You know, just a Sennheiser microphone
and a Nagra, that's all he had.
1:12:09
No operator. It was Stanley
pushing the button, that was it.
1:12:12
And it was highly you know,
concentrated, so I'd say:
1:12:16
"I've got to stretch my legs, Stanley. "
And he'd say, "Ping-pong. "
1:12:20
He was always trying to beat me,
he never did, not at ping-pong.
1:12:24
Chess, another matter.
1:12:26
So we'd have fun, we'd play,
and we'd come back. . .
1:12:29
. . .we'd do another piece.
The voice-over works well.
1:12:32
So about six months later,
my agent said:
1:12:36
"Malcolm, you have two weeks of
voice-over you haven't been paid for. "
1:12:41
I went, "I'm going out to see
Stanley this afternoon.
1:12:45
I'll mention it to him. "
1:12:47
Leaving, I think I said,
"By the way, my agent informs me. . .
1:12:52
. . .that I haven't been paid
for the two weeks' narration. "
1:12:56
He had a slide rule in his pocket
and he took it out.
