Hello?
:08:12
Hey, it's Marty. How's it going?
:08:14
Has it been helpful talking to the writer?
What's her name?
:08:17
Susan Orlean. It's been okay.
:08:20
Well, I mean, are you making headway?
:08:23
Valerie's breathing down my neck.
:08:26
- You can't rush inspiration.
- Okay. All right. Fair enough.
:08:30
Listen, the other reason
I called was The Three.
:08:34
It's just amazing.
:08:36
- I don't know what that is.
- Donald's script.
:08:38
A smart, edgy thriller.
It's the best script I've read all year.
:08:48
- Good.
- Yeah, I'm gonna sell it for a shitload.
:08:51
Two fucking talented guys in one family.
:08:53
In fact, maybe you could get your
brother to help you with the orchid thing.
:08:57
- Marty, don't say that. I mean...
- All right. It's just a thought, buddy.
:09:02
I mean, he's really
goddamn amazing at structure.
:09:05
- I have to go.
- All right. Adios, amigo.
:09:08
Finish that...
:09:13
Fuck!
:09:24
Okay, thank you, thank you.
:09:26
We have a long three days ahead.
:09:29
Years from now, you'll be at a posh
cocktail party congratulating yourself...
:09:33
...on how you spent a weekend with
an asshole from Hollywood for your art.
:09:39
- I am pathetic. I am a loser.
- So...
:09:42
...what is the substance of writing?
:09:45
I have failed. I am panicked.
I have sold out. I am worthless.
:09:48
L... What the fuck am I doing here?
:09:51
What the fuck am I doing here? Fuck!
:09:53
It is my weakness, my ultimate lack
of conviction that brings me here.
:09:57
