:46:44
I didn't know where I was going.
:46:46
I just had to get out of there.
:46:49
I had to be with people
my own age.
:46:51
I had to hear somebody laugh again.
:46:56
I thought of Artie Green.
:46:58
There was bound to be
a New Year's shindig going on...
:47:00
in his apartment
down on Las Palmas.
:47:03
Writers without a job,
composers without a publisher...
:47:07
actresses so young they still believe
the guys in the casting offices.
:47:11
A bunch of kids
who didn't give a hoot...
:47:14
just so long
as they had a yuk to share.
:47:18
Hollywood for us
ain't been so good
:47:21
Got no swimming pool
Very few clothes
:47:24
All we earn are buttons and bows
:47:31
- Hello, Joe.
- How are you, Joe?
:47:34
- Welcome to the party.
- Hi, Joe.
:47:38
- What do you know! Joe Gillis!
- Hi, Artie.
:47:41
Where you been keeping
that gorgeous face of yours?
:47:43
- In a deep freeze.
- I almost reported you as missing.
:47:46
Fans, you all know Joe Gillis,
the well-known screenwriter...
:47:49
uranium smuggler
and Black Dahlia suspect.
:47:54
- Come on, gimme your coat.
- Let it ride for a while.
:47:56
- You're gonna stay, aren't you?
- That was the general idea.
:47:59
Well, come on.
