:08:01
You know, I thought
it had definite potential.
:08:05
It's got a,
you know, really good
Manhattan feel to it.
:08:09
You know, they're interested
in you directing.
:08:11
You know,
that's fine with me.
:08:15
You know,
this is the kind of material
that I can really do great.
:08:18
This is... This is...
You know, I can
make this script sing.
:08:21
This is New York.
It's nightclubs.
It's the skyline.
:08:25
- You want some water?
I'm very excited.
- Please. Me too.
:08:28
- Who wants me?
- Well, uh, we have
a little selling to do...
:08:31
but, uh,
Galaxie is making it.
:08:34
- Hal Yeager?
- Yes, that's right.
:08:36
- He stole my wife.
- Ellie is the one
who's pushing for you.
:08:40
Pass. I'm not gonna work
with Hal Yeager and Ellie.
:08:45
You gotta be kidding.
He's a philistine
and she's a quisling.
:08:48
- It's a religious conflict.
- Will you calm down.
:08:51
It's everything
you've been looking for.
:08:53
l... You know,
I'm frankly flabbergasted
they would even think of me.
:08:58
Well, they didn't
think of you. She did.
:08:59
And she has convinced Yeager
to come fly to New York
and take a meeting with you.
:09:03
- This guy stole my wife.
- He doesn't hold that
against you. It's business.
:09:08
Can you believe that
she would leave me
for-for Hal Yeager?
:09:13
I still can't get
my mind around it.
Mr. Slick...
:09:17
- The price of his haircut
could feed a family of five.
- Calm down.
:09:22
You're getting all red.
Would you calm down.
:09:22
And you're telling me she...
he doesn't want me? She's the...
:09:27
The nerve of them.
He's such a manicured phony.
:09:31
May he... May he fall
on his blow comb...
:09:35
and get hot
in the wrong place.
:09:37
Please, Val. Please don't
do anything to kill this.
It's a golden opportunity.
:09:41
Forget it. I would rather do
the geriatric diaper commercial
I turned down.
:09:45
Would you? Because that's
what the future holds
if this falls through.
:09:48
Of course I wouldn't.
This is a terrific script.
:09:51
- l, you know... l...
- Make some sense now.
:09:56
A $60 million dollar,
first-class feature film.
