: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.
:10:00
A big payday, which you need.
And if you score with
this one, you're back on top.
:10:05
You'll never have
a gift like this
drop in your lap again.
:10:09
Just take the meeting
with Yeager.
:10:10
- And Ellie?
- Yes, and Ellie.
:10:13
I'm telling you,
I'll get you half
a million dollars.
:10:16
A lousy half-mil
they're offering?
:10:18
They want to buy prestige
at the Shrine Auditorium
Oscar night for a half-mil?
:10:22
There's no offer.
It's not an offer yet.
:10:24
- I reject their offer.
- There is nothing to reject.
:10:27
- Well, I reject it anyhow.
- [Laughs]
:10:31
You better meet with him
and you better be nice,
or else I'm out of here.
:10:34
I finally get an offer
that's worthy of my gifts,
and look where it comes from.
:10:38
There is no offer yet.
And I am so tired
of all this...
:10:43
The big talk about how big
you were ten years ago.
:10:46
Things change,
and you can't get work.
:10:49
- You know, part of me
wants it so badly.
- And the other part?
:10:52
Also wants it.
That's the problem.
:10:54
- It only takes one hit.
- I know.
:10:56
- And I want a role in this movie.
- I don't have the movie yet.
:10:59
He's gotta meet me
and throw his weight
around first.
