:24:01
Hal's very smart, and he's
a brilliant deal maker.
:24:04
Yes, I know.
He's been audited by the best.
:24:06
He has made some pretty
financially successful
American films.
:24:09
That should tell you
all you need to know about him.
:24:12
He's the white line
down the middle of the road.
:24:13
You had your little flirtations
too. There was that-that
Italian model.
:24:19
No. You were the only one
that I was serious with. My God.
:24:24
Until you suddenly became
noncommunicative, nonresponsive
and you dumped me...
:24:29
[Stammering]
The movie is going to be
a fun movie to do, I think.
:24:33
Um, and I have a lot
of ideas that I think
we should discuss.
:24:36
Good. Absolutely. I just
wanted to assure you that once
the studio agreed to you...
:24:40
you'll have their
full support and...
[Heavy Breathing]
:24:43
Well, thank you very much.
I want a... I think I want
a foreign cameraman.
:24:47
- That's no problem.
- Because they get a texture
into the work...
:24:50
that you would never get
with an American cameraman.
:24:53
They have a certain mobility.
I remember coming home
and I picked up the extension...
:24:57
and there you are
on the other end of
the extension with this guy.
:24:58
I'm calling and I hear my wife
in a lovey-dovey with her lover,
saying she misses her lover.
:25:03
- He wasn't my lover yet.
- Bull! He was your lover.
What are you telling me?
:25:07
And I recognize the voice.
It's Hal Yeager
from Galaxie pictures.
:25:11
And I'm thinking to myself,
"Why is my wife talking
like that to Hal Yeager for?"
:25:13
They're making me a surprise
party. I thought they were
making me a surprise party.
:25:17
- Were they?
- No. She was having an affair
with Hal Yeager.
:25:20
- Follow the story.
Jesus, I can't believe this...
- I'm getting out of here.
:25:23
Wait a minute.
Where are you going?
We're discussing a movie.
:25:26
- No, I'm sorry. I just...
- What about...
:25:29
I'll be back and forth from L.A.
and I won't bother you...
:25:31
and I'll see to it that nobody
gets in your way creatively.
:25:33
- What about Denise Daniels
as the blackmailer?
- Possibly. If you like.
:25:36
I think she would be great.
You know what I mean?
Or Sarah Bedloe.
:25:39
She would be very interesting.
She... I pick up the phone
and she's talking...
:25:43
I'm going to order a corn beef
sandwich, she's talking to
her lover on the phone.
:25:45
- Look, I'll be back from L.A.
in two weeks...
- This is gonna be a fun picture.
:25:48
- It'll be great.
We're all very excited.
- I'm looking forward to it.
:25:51
About Hal Yeager. The word
on him is cross-dresser.
Check it out for me.
:25:55
I pick the phone up
and she...
:25:57
- Hal, we're off to
a really good start here.
- Tell me about it, honey.
