[00:00.325] |
JOE: |
[00:01.010] |
Girl meets boy |
[00:02.890] |
That's a safe beginning |
[00:04.446] |
BETTY: |
[00:04.783] |
It's nearly closing |
[00:07.186] |
I thought you weren't going to show |
[00:09.566] |
JOE: |
[00:09.751] |
So did I |
[00:11.946] |
I felt it might be kinder |
[00:13.629] |
BETTY: |
[00:13.803] |
What are you saying? |
[00:16.240] |
JOE: |
[00:16.404] |
Come on, Miss Schaefer, you know |
[00:19.050] |
BETTY: |
[00:19.189] |
What? |
[00:19.805] |
JOE: |
[00:20.003] |
Every time I see some young kid |
[00:22.544] |
Dreaming they'll produce a masterpiece |
[00:25.564] |
I just want to throw them on the next train home |
[00:30.184] |
BETTY: |
[00:30.428] |
Never thought |
[00:32.691] |
You'd be so condescending |
[00:35.269] |
JOE: |
[00:35.606] |
Sorry, Miss Schaefer |
[00:37.846] |
I didn't come here to fight |
[00:40.006] |
BETTY: |
[00:40.262] |
Girl meets boy |
[00:43.720] |
If that's how you want it |
[00:46.321] |
She's a young teacher |
[00:48.468] |
He's a reporter |
[00:50.942] |
It's hate at first sight |
[00:53.508] |
JOE: |
[00:53.820] |
It won't sell |
[00:56.166] |
These days they want glamour |
[00:58.546] |
Fabulous heiress meets handsome Hollywood heel |
[01:03.643] |
The problem is |
[01:05.627] |
She thinks he's a burglar |
[01:08.182] |
Would you believe it? |
[01:10.225] |
A wedding in the last reel |
[01:13.325] |
BETTY: |
[01:13.521] |
It doesn't have to be so mindless |
[01:15.983] |
You should write from your experience |
[01:19.281] |
Give us something really moving; |
[01:22.067] |
Something true |
[01:24.006] |
JOE: |
[01:24.202] |
Who wants true? |
[01:26.722] |
Who the hell wants moving? |
[01:29.183] |
Moving means starving |
[01:31.784] |
And true means holes in your shoe |
[01:34.164] |
BETTY: |
[01:34.500] |
No, you're wrong |
[01:36.961] |
They still make good pictures |
[01:39.666] |
Stick to your story |
[01:41.907] |
It's a good story |
[01:44.682] |
JOE: |
[01:45.379] |
O.K., Miss Schaefer |
[01:47.700] |
I give it to you |
[01:50.823] |
BETTY: |
[01:51.381] |
What do you mean? |
[01:52.367] |
JOE: |
[01:52.681] |
Just what I said. I've given up writing myself. So you write it. |
[01:56.500] |
BETTY: |
[01:56.779] |
Oh, I'm not good enough to do it on my own. |
[01:59.263] |
But I thought we could write it together. |
[02:02.584] |
JOE: |
[02:02.978] |
I can't. I'm all tied up. |
[02:05.881] |
BETTY: |
[02:06.241] |
Couldn't we work evenings? Six o'clock in the morning? |
[02:08.400] |
I'd come to your place. |
[02:09.444] |
JOE: |
[02:09.979] |
Look, Betty, it can't be done. It's out. |
[02:11.836] |
Look, let's keep in touch through Artie. |
[02:13.856] |
That way if you get stuck, we can at least talk. |
[02:15.784] |
Write this down |
[02:17.397] |
I'll give you some ground rules |
[02:21.078] |
Plenty of conflict |
[02:23.237] |
But nice guys don't break the law |
[02:26.138] |
Girl meets boy |
[02:27.997] |
She gives herself completely |
[02:31.038] |
And though she loves him |
[02:33.082] |
JOE & BETTY: |
[02:33.475] |
She keeps one foot on the floor |
[02:35.856] |
BETTY: |
[02:36.064] |
No one dies except the best friend |
[02:39.119] |
No one ever mentions communists |
[02:41.962] |
No one takes a black friend to a restaurant |
[02:46.595] |
JOE: |
[02:46.816] |
Very good. |
[02:49.323] |
Nothing I can teach you. |
[02:51.982] |
We could have had fun |
[02:54.478] |
Fighting the studio |
[02:56.242] |
BETTY: |
[02:57.542] |
Yes, Mr. Gillis |
[02:59.562] |
That's just what I want. |
[03:02.117] |
ARTIE: |
[03:02.302] |
What a nightmare |
[03:03.637] |
Good to see you |
[03:04.740] |
Come to my new year's party |
[03:06.761] |
JOE: |
[03:06.980] |
Last year it got out of hand |
[03:09.477] |
ARTIE: |
[03:09.662] |
Guaranteed bad behaviour |
[03:12.101] |
JOE: |
[03:12.239] |
See you then |
[03:13.238] |
BETTY: |
[03:13.541] |
Don't give up |
[03:14.875] |
You're too good |
[03:15.677] |
JOE: |
[03:16.464] |
Thanks. |
