:17:02
Maybe Irving Berlin
or something.
You bridge the...
:17:05
Well, I think
we'd have to discuss it.
:17:08
You know, if there ever was
a Val Waxman property,
boy, this is it, right?
:17:11
- We'll keep in touch.
- Does anyone have a Xanax?
:17:14
- Zantac. I've got
an ulcer too.
- NotZantac, Xanax.
:17:17
- It's a completely
different problem.
- Can I talk to you?
:17:21
[Indistinct]
:17:24
Listen, Val... Oh, sorry.
It was great seeing you again.
It was.
:17:29
- You've got an herbalist?
- Oh, yes. A genius.
:17:32
In Beverly Hills he's a genius.
If he was in New York,
he'd be considered low-normal.
:17:35
You know, we use
a completely different
rating system here.
:17:41
When we were kids, there were
like ten foreign films a week
in this city.
:17:46
- Italian, French...
- Oh, Italian films.
I love them.
:17:51
Val Waxman.
Any messages?
:17:55
You're sure?
:17:57
Okay.
:17:59
Did you see my cat?
Isn't that neat?
:18:02
- Sorry about that.
Uh, no. Nothing.
- Anything?
:18:05
- We were just talking
aboutAlfred Hitchcock.
- Mm-hmm.
:18:07
- Truffaut said Notorious
was his best film.
- I agree. A masterpiece.
:18:11
What are you talking about?
You hate... He hates that movie.
The ending makes you crazy.
:18:16
Yes, because it's a masterpiece.
Every time I watch that movie...
:18:19
when Cary Grant
is carrying Ingrid Bergman
down the staircase...
:18:21
- I always think that the Germans
are going to catch them.
- I do too.
:18:24
No matter how many times
I see it, I think the Germans
are gonna get them.
:18:27
- Hitchcock was an artist,
but he was commercial.
- Yeah, that's right.
:18:30
- You say that
like it's a good thing.
- You have to be both.
:18:32
I mean, he knew
what he was doing.
In order to make movies...
:18:36
you have to think
about the audience,
you have to...
:18:39
Otherwise, you're just
making movies for yourself,
like artistic masturbation.
:18:44
- That's right. That's right.
You're a narcissist.
- I'm a classic narcissist then.
:18:47
Have I told you my views
on masturbation ever?
:18:50
For me, the nicest thing
about masturbation
is afterward, the cuddling time.
:18:55
- [All Laughing]
- They're laughing.
I'm not joking.
:18:58
- [phone Ringing]
- Want a wienie?
