1:03:00
Valerie's breathing down my neck.
1:03:03
- You can't rush inspiration.
- Okay. All right. Fair enough.
1:03:06
Listen, the other reason
I called was The Three.
1:03:11
It's just amazing.
1:03:13
- I don't know what that is.
- Donald's script.
1:03:15
A smart, edgy thriller.
It's the best script I've read all year.
1:03:25
- Good.
- Yeah, I'm gonna sell it for a shitload.
1:03:28
Two fucking talented guys in one family.
1:03:30
In fact, maybe you could get your
brother to help you with the orchid thing.
1:03:34
- Marty, don't say that. I mean...
- All right. It's just a thought, buddy.
1:03:39
I mean, he's really
goddamn amazing at structure.
1:03:42
- I have to go.
- All right. Adios, amigo.
1:03:45
Finish that...
1:03:50
Fuck!
1:04:00
Okay, thank you, thank you.
1:04:03
We have a long three days ahead.
1:04:05
Years from now, you'll be at a posh
cocktail party congratulating yourself...
1:04:10
...on how you spent a weekend with
an asshole from Hollywood for your art.
1:04:16
- I am pathetic. I am a loser.
- So...
1:04:19
...what is the substance of writing?
1:04:21
I have failed. I am panicked.
I have sold out. I am worthless.
1:04:25
L... What the fuck am I doing here?
1:04:28
What the fuck am I doing here? Fuck!
1:04:30
It is my weakness, my ultimate lack
of conviction that brings me here.
1:04:34
Easy answers,
rules to shortcut yourself to success.
1:04:37
And here I am because my jaunt
into the abyss brought me nothing.
1:04:40
Well, isn't that just the risk one takes
for attempting something new?
1:04:43
I should leave right now. I'll start over.
I need to face this project head-on...
1:04:47
And God help you if you use
voice-over in your work, my friends.
1:04:51
God help you.
It's flaccid, sloppy writing.
1:04:55
Any idiot can write voice-over narration
to explain the thoughts of the character.
1:04:59
Okay, that's it.
One hour for lunch.
