:32:02
- Where do you get those?
:32:05
- Wherever you can.
:32:07
- So that's my job?
:32:09
To let you feel better
about distorting things?
:32:12
- The young boy in our film
:32:14
gets sent by Ussher
to deliver a letter.
:32:19
He gets caught by the Turks.
:32:21
- That's the character
we'd make into Gorky.
:32:24
- How would you do that?
:32:26
- Okay. By April 1915,
:32:29
the Turks have completely
surrounded the Armenian quarter.
:32:32
Within the quarter,
inside these fortified walls,
:32:34
the American mission, run by
a Dr. Clarence Ussher. Okay?
:32:39
Outside, a few hundred men
armed with ancient guns
:32:43
are surrounded
by well-armed troops
:32:46
with the latest
in European artillery.
:32:48
Miraculously,
through their ingenuity,
:32:52
or their teamwork,
:32:55
they're able to hold
the Armenian position,
:32:57
but they're completely isolated.
:32:58
They're cut off
from the outside world.
:33:01
Ussher has to somehow get word
to the outside world
:33:06
about what's about to happen.
:33:09
And so he hopes
that one of these boys...
:33:13
Gorky, will get through.
:33:25
- So do it.
:33:27
- That's it?
That's all you have to say?
:33:30
Edward Saroyan is one of the
greatest directors in the world.
:33:32
- Twenty years ago.
- Yes...
:33:34
- Whatever.
:33:36
- Raffi, you know how long
l've been working on this.
:33:39
If it can help Gorky's story
get told...
:33:42
- Go for it.
:33:46
What?
- Why do you still sleep here?
:33:51
- It's my home.
:33:54
- Doesn't she want you there?
:33:58
- It's uncomfortable.
It's too humid.
