:29:03
compared to this
Greenwich Village lunatic?
:29:05
They probably spent more money
getting those nominations...
:29:08
- than he'll spend
building a reservoir.
- I didn't get that.
:29:12
- Nothing. Nothing, Hal.
- I gave in on
the Chinese cameraman.
:29:16
I've kept away from
your picture. I'm saying I'd
feel more secure with pappas.
:29:20
- A word to the wise.
- Is there anything about
the part of Benny...
:29:23
that you want to tell me
before I read it?
:29:25
Only that he's
a Broadway sharpie,
a gambler.
:29:29
- Like Sky Masterson?
- Perfect. Exactly.
:29:32
Now, forgive me,
it might seem obvious,
but he's a Runyonesque...
:29:35
bookmaker-type, uh, is tough,
but softhearted with his wife
who he's nuts about?
:29:40
That's it on the nose.
That would be perfect.
:29:43
[Takes Two Deep Breaths]
:29:45
Go.
:29:47
Jerry, some guys were over
the house looking for you.
Seems you owe some money.
:29:51
[Dramatic Voice]
I hope you didn't tell them
anything, Helen.
:29:54
I could find myself
in deep trouble.
:29:57
- Deep, deep trouble.
- Thank you.
:30:02
Hi.
[Nervous Giggle]
:30:09
I'll wait for you.
:30:12
If they give you 30 years,
I'll be waiting.
:30:19
If they give you 50 years,
I'll be waiting.
:30:24
If you get two
consecutive life sentences...
:30:28
I'll be waiting.
:30:30
[Clears Throat]
I thought that last girl was
kind of interesting. Did you?
:30:33
- Really?
- I thought she read it
better than the others.
:30:37
I know, but Claire's
supposed to be classy.
:30:40
Didn't you think
she was a little
on the cheap side?
:30:42
- Cheap?
- To be perfectly honest, I
thought she radiated stupidity.
:30:46
- Stupidity?
- I mean, her reading
was competent enough...
:30:49
but, my God, it's like
her persona...
:30:51
it's trashy
and dumb.
:30:54
Well, you know,
I think I'd like to use her.
She was interesting.
:30:58
- You're the director.
- It's not that big a part, Ellie.
