they'll sue if the film is released
with Nicola in a single frame.

:04:05
They will sue, Viktor.
They're serious.

:04:07
So let's recast.
:04:09
Nicola Anders is the only actress
in the world that could play that part.

:04:12
- It's a remake, Hal.
- That's right.

:04:14
Nicola is not bigger
than this picture.

:04:16
Of course
she is, Viktor.

:04:18
No other 'name'
is going to sign on now.

:04:20
Who needs a name?
We'll cast an unknown.

:04:23
I'm not going to play
opposite an unknown.

:04:25
- We can't sell an unknown.
- The numbers don't work.

:04:27
If we ever want to be in
the Nicola Anders business again,

:04:31
we have to cut our losses
and shelve the picture.

:04:33
No! I will not give in
to that blackmailing--

:04:36
Viktor,
let's take a walk.

:04:38
Ridiculous performance.
:04:41
- I told you she was bad.
- No, yours in there.

:04:44
Why do you always have to make things
so difficult for yourself?

:04:47
Difficult?
I'm being difficult?

:04:49
Yes. Mm-hmm.
:04:52
Elaine, do you know
what these are?

:04:56
- 'Mike 'n' Ike's'?
- They're not just any 'Mike 'n' Ike's,'

:04:58
these are cherry
'Mike 'n' Ike's.'

:05:00
Do you know why I,
Viktor Taransky,

:05:02
two-time Academy Award-
nominated director--

:05:04
That was
'Short Subject.'

:05:06
--overseeing the most
cherished movie project

:05:08
of my entire career, am walking
around with-- look, look...

:05:11
pockets full
of these things?

:05:13
- I have a feeling you'll tell me.
- I'm going to tell you.

:05:16
Because Ms Nicola Anders--
:05:19
supermodel with a SAG card--
has it written in her contract

:05:23
that all cherry 'Mike 'n' Ike's'
be removed from her candy dish,

:05:26
along with strict instructions
that any room she walks into

:05:30
must have seven packs
of cigarettes waiting for her--

:05:32
three of them opened;
that there be a personal Jacuzzi

:05:36
within 80 paces
of her dressing room;

:05:38
and any time she travels, her nanny
must fly with her first-class.

:05:42
So, what's wrong
with that?

:05:45
Elaine, she doesn't
have children.

:05:47
Don't you see?
They're mocking us.

:05:50
We're at their mercy.
What happened?

:05:53
We always had movie stars, but
they used to be our stars, remember?

:05:56
We were the ones that would
tell them what to do.

:05:58
We would tell them
what to wear,
