:08:02
Yeah. OK, please...
:08:05
Excuse us. Please start.
:08:07
This is so unexpected.
:08:11
I'll say.
:08:14
- You had no hint she was coming?
- She was nuts then, and she's nuts now.
:08:18
- Did you see the look in her eyes?
- She's been on a bus.
:08:21
You were asking how we know each other.
:08:23
Melinda is the third musketeer.
We went to school together.
:08:26
- We haven't heard from her in ages.
- Yeah. She's had personal difficulties.
:08:31
She said she'd be coming to New York from...
I can't remember, Chicago or Indiana,
:08:35
and could we put her up?
Laurel said, "Sure. " I myself...
:08:39
This is not the time to discuss this.
Let's just eat and change the subject.
:08:44
Well, what can you do? We've all had friends
drop in unannounced. Remember your aunt?
:08:48
I put up an extra bed. I fix up the room for her.
She doesn't show when she says she will.
:08:53
So we try to contact her
and there's no trace of her.
:08:57
Two months later, she calls up unannounced
in the middle of a frigging dinner party.
:09:03
- Am I unreasonable?
- No, no!
:09:06
You're missing the whole point. You have the
makings of a delightful human comedy here.
:09:13
You missed the humour in everything.
:09:15
I see a sweet, tree-lined block
on the Upper East Side.
:09:20
It's a dinner party. The husband is fawning
over his guest. He's a moviemaker.
:09:25
No, wait.
:09:28
Here's the idea. Make the film director the
wife. He's just her out-of-work actor husband.
:09:34
She's trying to impress the guest
and raise the money for an independent film.
:09:39
I just told Jennifer that Steve is interested
in investing in Susan's next movie.
:09:43
Yeah. I have most of the money. I've just
been trying to get it going now for two years.
:09:48
I liked your first picture.
Would you do this one on video too?
:09:51
No. That was just because
we only had $300,000.
:09:55
- This one will be on 35mm for sure.
- Well, how much do you need?
:09:58
I've raised about four million
and we need another two million.
