:53:00
- What are you doing on board?
- I'm trying to sleep.
:53:04
Well, not exactly.
:53:07
Guido took over for Vittorio
and asked me to keep him company.
:53:11
So we went into Clinton's room
to listen to the stereo...
:53:14
and instead of getting mood music,
we get you guys yakking on the intercom.
:53:23
Dictate it tomorrow
when you can get a secretary.
:53:26
He killed her, she killed him.
:53:31
That's a good idea...
:53:33
but we're agreed on the basics,
wouldn't you say, Tom?
:53:39
Now that the truths are known...
:53:41
we've begun to see this as a big project.
:53:45
There are gigantic themes here,
worthy of Dostoyevsky.
:53:50
There's innocence...
:53:53
guilt...
:53:54
hatred...
:53:56
loyalty.
:53:58
Lee's ambitions for Tom were such
that we, as survivors...
:54:02
feel bound to tell Sheila's story
in all its pitiless purity, sparing nothing.
:54:08
Big budget?
:54:11
I feel $5 million should cover it.
:54:15
Alice's price just went up.
:54:17
Tom, nobody can write it better than you.
Who handles you again?
:54:21
Actually, I'm keen on having the first draft
done by a complete outsider.
:54:26
Someone who will bring a naiveté
to our little inbred circle.
:54:30
Tom will be needed as technical advisor.
And just before shooting, for a few...
:54:36
Rewrites.
:54:39
Rewrites, exactly.
:54:42
I think I'll turn in.
I'm almost dead on my feet.
:54:46
So much to do tomorrow...
:54:48
and still a few pages to type tonight.
:54:51
Sealed letter to my solicitor...
:54:54
protecting the copyright sort of thing.
:54:57
In these perilous times,
one can't be too careful.
