:13:01
When I'm tense,
I do this with my collar.
:13:04
-Just act... Calm down
and act professional.
- I am. I'm fine.
:13:09
But this is a guy
who stole my wife.
:13:12
Years ago,
I would never have consented
to make a film for him...
:13:15
and now... now suddenly
I'm auditioning for him?
:13:16
It's crazy. You know,
I would kill for this job...
:13:19
but the people I want to kill
are the people who are
offering me the job.
:13:22
- It's just insanity.
- What is that?
:13:24
- Remember in the cab
I took a blue pill?
- Yeah?
:13:27
Well, that was
to calm my anger.
But it had speed in it.
:13:31
So then I took
another pill after that
to calm down the speed.
:13:35
Well, this gets me back up
to speed, where I want to be
actually for the meeting.
:13:39
- Great. Perfect.
- Yeah.
:13:42
Then that other pill
I took keeps me dry
when it's raining out.
:13:47
- Ellie. Ellie.
- [Exhales]
Hello, Al.
:13:50
- So good to see you.
- Hello, Val.
:13:53
Hello, Val.
:13:55
- Al. How are you?
Good to see you.
- Ed.
:13:58
[Introductions Continue]
:14:00
I'm so glad you could get here.
Are they still having
power failures?
:14:05
I read that there was
a terrible power failure
in California.
:14:09
- Can I get you some coffee?
- Coffee would be wonderful.
:14:11
Electricity.
That the electricity
was going off.
:14:14
Come on in.
:14:19
- Since when
do you wear suits?
- You have any milk?
:14:23
- You never wore suits.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, cream.
:14:26
Well, Val,
you look very good.
:14:29
I'm okay, you know.
I've been having
some back spasms...
:14:32
and I have
a torn rotator cuff,
and-and, my knee...
:14:37
You know, I got a hearing loss.
It's the oddest thing.
In my left ear...
:14:41
- What did you think
of the script?
- The script?
:14:45
You know, the movie
that it's based on
was a stupid little potboiler.
:14:50
He's asking about
the script.
:14:51
- But the rewrite is good.
- Thanks to Ellie.
She did all the work.
:14:55
Yeah, it's good.
You know, I think this
could make...
:14:58
a kind of tough, gritty,
New York, big city movie.
