:39:02
The government will pay
for most of it anyway.
:39:05
And I'll go see Max Black
at the Excelsior this afternoon.
:39:12
All right, let's go back
to Hollywood and make this movie.
:39:16
After that, Maria's on her own.
:39:18

This bundle of passion, this hot flame
that burned from the screen,
:40:46
was a real untouchable.
:40:50
The columns and the wolves
were after me night and day.
:40:54
But how could I tell them
who she was with or when,
:40:57
when I didn't even know who she knew?
:40:59
