How's it hanging? |

How can you work with Darryl? |
[00:20.087] |
MYRON: |
[00:20.791] |
We should talk |
[00:21.387] |
JOE: |
[00:21.696] |
Gotta run |
[00:22.733] |
BOTH: |
[00:22.909] |
Let's have lunch |
[00:23.889] |
MARY: |
[00:24.001] |

You look great! |

MARY: |
[00:26.636] |
I'm up for an audition |
[00:28.289] |
JOE: |
[00:28.854] |
Sheldrake is driving me insane |
[00:31.226] |
MARY: |
[00:31.651] |
Don't forget me when you're casting |
[00:33.223] |
JOE: |
[00:33.659] |
We should talk |
[00:34.349] |
MARY: |
[00:34.635] |
Gotta run |
[00:35.464] |
BOTH: |
[00:35.854] |
Let's have lunch |
[00:36.670] |
JOE: |
[00:37.184] |
Morning, Joanna |
[00:37.935] |
MARY: |
[00:38.440] |
Hi, there Myron |
[00:39.328] |
JOANNA: |
[00:39.647] |
Who are you meeting? |
[00:40.489] |
MYRON: |
[00:40.762] |
You look great |
[00:41.569] |
JOE: |
[00:41.725] |
Sheldrake, but do I need it |
[00:43.332] |
MARY: |
[00:43.524] |
I've spent the last month fasting |
[00:44.309] |
JOANNA: |
[00:44.859] |
I'm handing in my second draft |
[00:45.550] |
MYRON: |
[00:46.520] |
I'm shooting a Western down at Fox |

I'd really love to read it |
[00:49.233] |

[00:50.246] |
Don't forget me when you're casting |
[00:51.996] |
JOANNA: |
[00:52.243] |
We should talk |
[00:52.843] |
MYRON: |
[00:52.939] |
We should talk |
[00:53.795] |
JOE: |
[00:53.880] |
Gotta run |
[00:54.621] |
MARY: |
[00:55.283] |
Gotta run |
[00:55.897] |
ALL FOUR: |
[00:56.118] |
Let's have lunch |
[00:56.505] |
JOE (spoken): |
[00:57.364] |
Yeah, I had an appointment with Mr. Sheldrake |
[00:58.491] |
JONES (spoken): |
[00:59.024] |
Name? |
[00:59.592] |
JOE (spoken): |
[00:59.988] |
Gillis. Joseph Gillis |
[01:01.032] |
JONES (spoken): |
[01:01.694] |
All right, sir, you know your way? |
[01:02.912] |
JOE (spoken): |
[01:03.714] |
Yeah |
[01:06.106] |
FIRST FINANCEMAN: |
[01:06.489] |
We want the keys to your car |
[01:07.732] |
SECOND FINANCEMAN: |
[01:08.684] |
You're way behind with the payments |
[01:10.204] |
FIRST FINANCEMAN: |
[01:10.646] |
Don't give us any fancy footwork |
[01:13.489] |
SECOND FINANCEMAN: |
[01:13.664] |
Give us the keys |
[01:15.671] |
JOE: |
[01:16.009] |
I only wish I could help |
[01:18.272] |
I loaned it to my accountant |
[01:21.023] |
He has an important client down in Palm Springs |
[01:25.784] |
Felt like shooting the breeze |
[01:28.385] |
FIRST FINANCEMAN: |
[01:28.605] |
Are you telling us you walked here? |
[01:31.263] |
JOE: |
[01:31.426] |
I believe in self-denial |
[01:33.806] |
I'm in training for the priesthood |
[01:36.326] |
SECOND FINANCEMAN: |
[01:37.127] |
OK, wise guy, three hundred bucks |
[01:38.972] |
FIRST FINANCEMAN: |
[01:39.192] |
Or we're taking the car |
[01:40.412] |
SECOND FINANCEMAN: |
[01:40.795] |
We have a court order |
[01:42.118] |
JOE (spoken): |
[01:42.317] |
I love it when you talk dirty |
[02:28.069] |
SAMMY: |
[02:28.231] |
Bless you, Joseph |
[02:29.172] |
JOE: |
[02:29.357] |
That you, Sammy? |
[02:30.749] |
SAMMY: |
[02:30.913] |
How do you like my harem? |
[02:32.829] |
JOE: |
[02:32.968] |
How come you get such lousy breaks? |
[02:35.475] |
SAMMY: |
[02:35.614] |
One learns to grin and bear 'em |
[02:37.507] |
GIRLS: |
[02:37.670] |
This is the biggest film ever made |
[02:41.071] |
JOE: |
[02:41.187] |
What're you playing? |
[02:42.114] |
ANITA: |
[02:42.336] |
Temple virgin |
[02:43.671] |
DAWN: |
[02:43.810] |
Handmaiden to Delilah |
[02:44.995] |
JOE: |
[02:45.215] |
Let's have lunch |
[02:47.073] |
Gotta run |
[02:49.453] |
You've got to find me a job |
[02:51.856] |
I'm way behind with my payments |
[02:54.352] |
I thought you were meant to be my agent |
[02:57.092] |
I need some work |
[02:58.914] |
MORINO: |
[02:59.216] |
I only wish I could help |
[03:01.666] |
This town is dead at the moment |
[03:04.232] |
There's been this slowdown in production |
[03:08.330] |
JOE (spoken): |
[03:08.528] |
Who is this jerk? |
[03:09.931] |
MORINO: |
[03:10.152] |
He's my wunderkind from Broadway |
[03:13.253] |
Every major studio wants him |
[03:15.946] |
YOUNGER MAN: |
[03:16.132] |
Playing one against the other |
[03:18.047] |
JOE: |
[03:18.349] |
What I need is three hundred bucks |
[03:21.530] |
MORINO (spoken): |
[03:21.832] |
Maybe what you need is a new agent |
[03:26.974] |
JOE: |
[03:27.405] |
Hello, Artie |
[03:28.229] |
ARTIE: |
[03:28.472] |
Joe, you bastard! |
[03:29.528] |
JOE: |
[03:29.750] |
You never call me any more |
[03:31.874] |
ARTIE: |
[03:32.093] |
Found a cuter dancing partner |
[03:35.427] |
How are things? |
[03:36.251] |
JOE: |
[03:37.029] |
Not so great |
[03:37.887] |
ARTIE: |
[03:38.583] |
Will this help? |
[03:39.373] |
Twenty bucks? |
[03:40.174] |
JOE (spoken): |
[03:40.384] |
Thanks, you're a pal |
[03:41.893] |
ALL (spoken): |
[03:42.508] |
Good morning, Mr. DeMille |
[03:45.217] |
Hi Mr. DeMille |
[03:46.908] |
SHELDRAKE: |
[03:47.245] |
This is Sheldrake |
[03:48.325] |
Bring some water |
[03:49.683] |
Get me that shithead Nolan |
[03:52.365] |
Nolan, sweetheart |
[03:53.788] |
Great to talk |
[03:54.786] |
This draft is so much brighter |
[03:57.120] |
You're the best |
[03:58.003] |
Even so |
[03:58.885] |
I've hired another writer |
[04:01.292] |
SECRETARY (spoken): |
[04:01.884] |
Mr. Gillis |
[04:03.068] |
SHELDRAKE: |
[04:03.289] |
Joe! What the fuck brings you here? |
[04:04.787] |
JOE (spoken): |
[04:05.170] |
You wanted to see me |
[04:06.006] |
SHELDRAKE (spoken): |
[04:06.203] |
I did? What about? |
[04:06.748] |
JOE (spoken): |
[04:06.945] |
"Bases Loaded." It's an outline for a baseball picture |
[04:07.747] |
SHELDRAKE (spoken): |
[04:08.637] |
So, pitch |
[04:08.930] |
JOE (spoken): |
[04:09.929] |
It's about a rookie shortstop. He's batting .347. The kid was once mixed up in a holdup. Now he's trying to go straight |
[04:13.807] |
SHELDRAKE (spoken): |
[04:14.404] |
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I think I have read this. Somebody, bring in what we've got on... |
[04:17.522] |
JOE (spoken): |
[04:18.502] |
"Bases Loaded." |
[04:19.008] |
SHELDRAKE (spoken): |
[04:19.442] |
..."Bases Loaded." |
[04:19.953] |
JOE (spoken): |
[04:20.208] |
They're pretty hot for it over at Twentieth |
[04:21.086] |
SHELDRAKE (spoken): |
[04:22.282] |
Good! |
[04:22.989] |
JOE (spoken): |
[04:23.292] |
But can you see Ty Power as a shortstop? |
[04:25.161] |
ENSEMBLE: |
[04:25.405] |
Let's have lunch |
[04:26.902] |
BETTY (spoken) |
[04:27.169] |
Here's that "Bases Loaded" material, Mr. Sheldrake |
[04:28.911] |
I made a two-page synopsis for you, |
[04:30.606] |
but I wouldn't bother to read it |
[04:32.265] |
SHELDRAKE (spoken): |
[04:32.405] |
Why not? |
[04:33.589] |
BETTY (spoken): |
[04:33.763] |
It's just a rehash of something |
[04:34.623] |
that wasn't very good to begin with |
[04:36.283] |
SHELDRAKE (spoken): |
[04:36.549] |
Meet Mr. Gillis. He wrote it |
[04:37.967] |
ENSEMBLE: |
[04:38.547] |
We should talk |
[04:40.683] |
SHELDRAKE |
[04:40.904] |
(spoken) |
[04:41.101] |
This is Miss Kramer |
[04:42.088] |
BETTY (spoken) |
[04:42.587] |
Schaefer. Betty Schaefer. |
[04:43.585] |
And right now, |
[04:44.085] |
I'd like to crawl into a hole and pull it in after me |
[04:46.301] |
JOE (spoken) |
[04:46.465] |
If I could be of any help... |
[04:47.730] |
BETTY (spoken) |
[04:47.882] |
I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis, I couldn't see the point of it |
[04:50.504] |
JOE (spoken) |
[04:50.667] |
What sort of material do you suggest? |
[04:52.502] |
James Joyce? Dostoyevsky? |
[04:52.710] |
BETTY (spoken) |
[04:54.626] |
I think pictures should at least try to say a little something |
[04:57.006] |
JOE (spoken) |
[04:57.168] |
I see you're one of the message kids |
[04:58.945] |
I expect you'd have turned down "Gone With the Wind" |
[05:00.385] |
SHELDRAKE (spoken) |
[05:00.605] |
No, that was me |
[05:01.743] |
ENSEMBLE: |
[05:02.045] |
Gotta run |
[05:03.588] |
BETTY (spoken): |
[05:03.925] |
And I guess I was disappointed |
[05:05.620] |
I've read some of your other work |
[05:07.048] |
and I thought you had some real talent |
[05:09.219] |
JOE (spoken): |
[05:09.347] |
Yeah, that was last year. This year I felt like eating |
[05:11.180] |
BETTY (spoken): |
[05:11.343] |
Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis |
[05:12.064] |
SHELDRAKE (spoken): |
[05:12.261] |
Thank you, Miss Kramer |
[05:14.907] |
Well, looks like Zanuck's got himself a baseball picture |
[05:18.565] |
ENSEMBLE: |
[05:19.540] |
We should talk |
[05:20.329] |
Gotta run |
[05:21.269] |
Let's have lunch |
[05:22.582] |
JOE: |
[05:22.779] |
You've got to give me some work |
[05:25.089] |
I'll take whatever's on offer |
[05:27.388] |
There must be some shit that needs a rewrite |
[05:29.884] |
Throw it my way |
[05:31.521] |
SHELDRAKE: |
[05:31.718] |
I only wish I could help |
[05:34.388] |
There's no spare shit at the moment |
[05:36.885] |
Remember the greatest writers starved in garretts |
[05:40.843] |
Didn't care about pay |
[05:42.945] |
JOE: |
[05:43.258] |
Are you trying to be funny? |
[05:45.487] |
SHELDRAKE: |
[05:45.719] |
I believe in self-denial |
[05:48.506] |
Gives a man some moral backbone |
[05:50.688] |
JOE: |
[05:51.105] |
Can you loan me three hundred bucks? |
[05:53.602] |
SHELDRAKE: |
[05:53.800] |
I'm sorry, Gillis. Good-bye |
[05:55.378] |
JOE: |
[05:56.672] |
I just love Hollywood |
[06:00.209] |

We should talk |

Gotta run |
[06:27.312] |

JOE(spoken, to BETTY): |

Come to get your knife back? |
[06:52.857] |
It's still right there, |
[06:53.937] |
Right between my shoulder blades |
