-You can't rush inspiration.
-Okay. All right. Fair enough.

1:03:06
Listen, the other reason
l called was The Three.

1:03:10
lt's just amazing.
1:03:12
-l don't know what that is.
-"D"onald's script.

1:03:14
A smart, edgy thriller.
It's the best script I've read all year.

1:03:24
-Good.
-Yeah, I'm gonna sell it for a shitload.

1:03:27
Two fucking talented guys in one family.
1:03:29
In fact, maybe you could get your
brother to help you with the orchid thing.

1:03:33
-Marty, don't say that. l mean--
-All right. It's just a thought, buddy.

1:03:38
I mean, he's really
goddamn amazing at structure.

1:03:41
-l have to go.
-All right. Adios, amigo.

1:03:44
Finish that--
1:03:49
Fuck!
1:03:59
Okay, thank you, thank you.
1:04:02
We have a long three days ahead.
1:04:05
Years from now, you'll be at a posh
cocktail party congratulating yourself...

1:04:09
...on how you spent a weekend with
an asshole from Hollywood for your art.

1:04:15
-I am pathetic. I am a loser.
-So...

1:04:18
...what is the substance of writing?
1:04:20
I have failed. I am panick ed.
I have sold out. I am worthless.

1:04:24
I-- What the fuck am I doing here?
1:04:27
What the fuck am I doing here? Fuck!
1:04:29
It is my weakness, my ultimate lack
of conviction that brings me here.

1:04:33
Easy answers,
rules to shortcut yourself to success.

1:04:36
And here I am because my jaunt
into the abyss brought me nothing.

1:04:39
Well, isn't that just the risk one tak es
for attempting something new?

1:04:42
I should leave right now. I'll start over.
I need to face this project head-on--

1:04:46
And God help you if you use
voice-over in your work, my friends.

1:04:50
God help you.
lt's flaccid, sloppy writing.

1:04:54
Any idiot can write voice-over narration
to explain the thoughts of the character.

1:04:58
Okay, that's it.
One hour for lunch.
