:11:02
Al, listen. If this
is about being on the set...
:11:05
you know, even if Galaxie
made an exception...
:11:08
both of these actors,
they're not gonna
allow it, so...
:11:10
No, uh...
:11:12
Come here.
Sit down. Sit down.
:11:15
- Why?
- Well, I need your help.
:11:17
Okay. All right.
What can I do for you?
:11:19
Well, you know this is the end
of the line for Val if he
doesn't have a hit here.
:11:24
He will. He can
do this material
with his eyes closed.
:11:27
Yeah. Right.
:11:29
But if for any reason
he strikes out here...
:11:33
his last hopes
for a career, they're over.
:11:36
Listen, Al.
I wanna put
your mind at ease.
:11:39
- Yes.
- While I've seen the dailies...
:11:40
and they're not
what I expected,
I'm sure he has a vision.
:11:44
- Don't worry about it.
- Ah.
:11:46
Look, if-if-if, um...
if a problem came up...
:11:49
a little problem
where he needed
a little support...
:11:52
a little
behind-the-scenes support
just for the last several weeks...
:11:54
- Sure. Yeah.
-you'd-you'd-you'd...
:11:56
Okay.
:11:58
I'm starting to get
that Val Waxman chill.
:12:02
What's going on?
:12:04
- Could I level with you?
- Yeah.
:12:07
No, I mean... I mean,
really level.
:12:09
I mean,
pull no punches.
:12:12
- What is it, Al?
- Well, it's nothing
that can't be dealt with.
:12:15
He's just, uh...
He's blind.
:12:20
You wanna be serious?
:12:22
We're already
behind schedule.
This has been crazy.
:12:24
The cameraman threw
his little fit and I'm
losing my sense of humor...
:12:27
- because things
are going crazy now.
- He's blind.
:12:29
He can't...
He can't see at all.
:12:31
But don't panic.
It's-It's-It's-It's-It's...
It's not a tumor.
:12:35
It's not a disease
of the optic nerve.
:12:37
It's not permanent.
It's-It's-It's...
:12:39
- What is it?
- It's a psychological disorder.
:12:43
- It's psychosomatic.
Sometimes that happens.
- Oh, God.
:12:45
- People get paralyzed or they
can't speak because of a trauma.
- This is not happening.
:12:49
He is on the set
right now faking it...
:12:51
but he's gonna need someone
to help him get through
the rest of the picture.
:12:55
- The rest of the picture?
- Yeah.
:12:57
How long has this
been going on?
:12:59
- Since day one.
- Oh!
