1:41:39
- Pardon, Maurice.
- Maurice? No, no. Philippe.
1:41:44
Oh, you don't even know
when ajoke is over.
1:41:51
Why, Mr Benson,
what are you doing here?
1:41:55
Miss Simpson, stop overacting. You
know very well what I'm doing here.
1:41:59
Of all the hokey cornball
grade-B picture devices.
1:42:02
She forgot the bird,
she forgot the bird...
1:42:05
- I don't know what you mean.
- Yes, you do.
1:42:08
Girl leaves bird.
Boy has to come looking for girl.
1:42:11
I've written that scene
a thousand times myself.
1:42:14
Always works, of course.
That's point one.
1:42:17
Point two. How dare you quit me
when we haven't even started?
1:42:21
Point three...
1:42:23
I love you. Miss Simpson,
1:42:26
if you don't feel up to the job,
tell me now. I'll get someone else.
1:42:31
Oh, no, I'm perfectly capable.
1:42:33
Very well, then,
I hold here in my hand
1:42:37
130-some-odd pages of contrived
1:42:40
and utterly preposterous,
totally unmotivated...
1:42:43
Oh, if you could only say it
in pictures.
1:42:46
Come on,
we've got a screenplay to write.
1:42:48
Not starting from scratch, of course.
We've got two great characters.
1:42:51
She's sweet and bright and very, very
beautiful, and he, well...
1:42:56
...he's gone straight, rather dull.
We need something tojazz him up.
